• *Phage- creatures created by mutated virus cells. They have various forms of mutates into vicious beings that have primal aggressive nature. They can infect regular humans via blood contact, though chances of infection are low due to mutating nature of their cells. The chance is even further reduced against people who exhibit paranormal abilities. Their cells break down in the presence of certain radiation such as UV rays and melt into a pile of inert cells.

More to come, you may not change your class once introduced; however, you can start another character. Please don't have too many characters as they can be confusing to you and other players, and if you're done with a character, please kill them off or send them away to never be heard of again.
*additional note* classes are subject to change/evolution after a certain number of posts, additional abilities and titles will be updated in this section.

So, my first question is do we already know that we are one of the above mention. Or, do we assume the title without knowing we are that thing. I.E. My name is Draxus and I am a rotter I learned this ability early on. Or is it more like "when I was young I learned that I could decompose material very fast"? This will drastically help me with my story line of my character.

Good question. Actually with what I have in mind, I'm going to leave the decision up to you. The classes listed are just classifications of the abilities you can choose from, more or less titles. When writing an intro, you can assume that your character knows his abilities to basic knowledge(i.e. the descriptions above) later I will update/upgrade classes and titles with new abilities as the story progresses and I see everyone evolving to new heights. As for right now if you have any specific questions about a class or writing your intro, post it here or make a separate thread or even send me a PM, I'd be more than happy to help you out.

Question about my guy's power. I know I have discussed this a little with you at work, but I felt it was best to put it onto the board. Being that my guy has the Interference power, would he be able to "sense" if someone else who had a power was using it?

Sense power is not yet availble to your class. New abilities and details will be released here when someone nears the 200 exp marker.

So to be clear, if I touch someone can I tell what their power is, or just that they have a power?

You can tell what power they posses.

that's all I needed to know
