In 2115, a group of scientists got together to create superpowers for the world. They created these superpowers in the form of chips, which could be injected into a person's body and they could do anything from shooting fire, to lifting boulders the size of trucks. However despite the scientists being straight A students, they thought it was a good idea to ship them on trucks and give them away. Oh how wrong they were.

---

An armored truck drives down the highway towards Topeka, Kansas with two people in front, a driver and a passenger. Both of them have pistols, the passenger cradles a shotgun in his hands.

"We're almost there." Sighs the driver. "Finally."

The passenger chuckles. "Once we get to Topeka, first thing we do when we're finished unloading is to relax in a hotel room."

"I'll definitely agree to that." Smiles the driver.

Two miles down the road, the low tire pressure light pops up on the dashboard and the truck slows to a stop.

"I'll go and check the problem." Groans the driver.

The driver checks the front tires, then as he gets to the back tires, he notices the passenger side tire to be flat. What's even more noticeable is that a round hole on the side of the tire goes straight through and into the other back tire.

The driver inspects the hole. "What made this?"

Footsteps are suddenly heard behind him, he turns around for a brief second before he gets shot between the shoulder blades.

The passenger in the truck hears the gunshot and comes out to see a person in an exosuit, holding a pistol in hand. The exosuit's U shaped visor glows a brilliant green. On it's back is a sheathed katana and what seems to be a jet pack. There's a camera lens inside the forehead of the helmet.

The passenger immediately fires the shotgun which prooves to be ineffective as the exosuited person quickly rolls under the truck. The passenger looks under the truck, seeing nothing, but is stabbed in the back with the katana moments later as the mysterious robot person jumps from the top of the truck.

The passenger coughs blood, his shotgun drops from his hands. He then falls to the ground, staring at his murderer as the life drains from his eyes.

The exoskeleton person then goes over to the back of the truck and opens it, revealing shelves of power chips.

The next day, news crews are surrounding the truck, nothing but the dead bodies of the driver and victim were found. The shelves had been stripped of their chips.

35 years later...

Welcome to the remake of Single Minded! The year you will be placed in is 2140, it'll be a bit advanced technology wise but not too advanced to the point we all have hover cars or anything like that.

In Single Minded you are criminal, for whatever reason is decided by you. Your objective is to kill the one that causes you trouble. Whoever that is, will be a mystery until a certain point in the game.

This game is also a free-roam RPG on Earth, where the things you can do are endless. You could also meet other players in the game.

When in combat, you will use a 1d6. Damage is decided on the roll times your power's level.

Rules

With a game like this, there are some rules to come with it.

1. Don't be a jerk to other players or me.
2. Don't change things in your character sheet unless I forget to add something.
3. Don't argue with me if something doesn't go your way.

Character Sheet:

Name: (anything you want)
Age: (13 - 40)
Gender: (Male or Female)
Bio: (Your character's story) (If you have nothing then you will have amnesia)
Looks: (Your hair color, skin color, etc.)

Ice Manipulation (Can freeze things, can also make it 'snow' from the body)

Choosing a Beginning

Choose from this list for a beginning. If you don't choose, I will roll for what you get.

1. You've lost someone and you're going to save them, no matter what the cost.
2. You're an ex-soldier, betrayed by the military and left to die. All you want is revenge on the person who set you up.
3. You're an average person living a normal life, when you accidentally discover you have powers. Now you're being hunted, and you want to know why (although that isn't particularly criminal).
4. You're a long-time gang member and you just a threat from someone from another gang (or a threat from the gang). Time to take action.
5. You're a career thief/hacker/assassin/etc and you're just been offered the deal of a lifetime from an anonymous person.
6. You're a new prisoner, being sentenced for an amount of time in prison. No one has escaped this prison, but you're about to change that.

Hope you guys have fun.

Also, if it seems that I'm getting slow at doing this RPG, smack me.

Players will be able to get a third power by random. They won't get it right away however.

(sure)

You wake up on a prison bed, staring at the ceiling. You woke up from a bad dream of gunshots, pain, and screaming. At least you think it's a dream, you're not really sure anymore. You get up and notice you have a name tag that says, 'Mike'. Is that your real name? You have no idea.

You look around the prison cell. It seems to be the classic style of a prison, with it's hard cement floor, hard cement walls, and the bars on your door and window are made of metal. There's a toilet and sink in one corner of the room, and a mysterious red stain in another corner.

You look up as a guard with an LMG is patroling the hallway.

You suddenly wake-up in an office chair, in front of you is a laptop with a guy's face on it. 'Who's that?' You wonder in your mind.

You look around the room, you seem to be in a hotel room. There's two good-sized beds, in front of them a tv. There's a balcony to your left that overlooks the skyline of Chicago. Near the main entrance is the bathroom.

"So do we have a deal?" Asks the man. You look closer at his face, he seems to be in his early 30s with a small goatee on his chin. His hair is an auburn color. You see a black collar, but that's all you see of his clothing.

Name: Matthias "Emma" Angel
Age: 23
Gender: M
Bio: Matt works as a freelance agent who steals and sells information, both physical and digital. In the criminal world, he is called "Emma" (a pronunciation of his first and last initial). It's a clever ploy: employers often assume their agent is a woman. The name is particularly useful when he doesn't have to leave his computer. His technological manipulation lets him sneak through the digital world, avoiding firewalls and security cameras with ease.

Matt only takes cash and uses it to buy what he needs, not what he wants, and when he isn't "working," he's living an honest, albeit deceptive, life as Matt Angel. He has always turned down assassinations and refuses to kill security, choosing to use choke holds, tasers and zip ties to remove threats.

Looks: Black hair and eyes. Caucasian. Wears a grey zipper hoodie and gray jeans when at home. On the job he adds black boots, black felt gloves and a large black canvas bag on one shoulder for equipment. He has a flashlight in a belt holster and for emergencies, he packs a taser in a leg holster.

You walk among the dark streets of Berlin, Germany. You usually don't take a job this faraway from home but when a job offers 15 million dollars, it's not something you can just turn down.

Among this street are two hotels facing each other, you take the hotel on your right and head directly for the receptionist in the main lobby.

"You have a reservation for Emma?" You ask.

"Let me check." The receptionist checks her computer. "Ah, yes. You have Room 34."

Room 34, just like the email said. You head upstairs and into your room. You immediately go to the phone and input the number that was also in the email.

"Ah, I see you're here." Answers the man on the side. You look across the street into the window of the other hotel. You see the silhouette of a man on a phone, standing at the window.

"So are you ready for the job opportunity of a lifetime? It's quite a doozy."

I would, if I can, make the room entirely dark and then yell for the guard to help a few times. If the guard was stupid enough to fall for this, when he walks into the shadows I would sneak behind him and grab him by the throat, trying to burn his insides with me flame, killing him quite painfully If this works, than I'll take his gun, any ammunition, and his radio, and walk out the cage.

"It's as secure as ever, doll." Chuckles the man. "Anyways, the job for you is that in 3 hours, Moritz Frith, Germany's president, will be cutting the ribbon for the new orphanage. I need you to kill him somehow, make it look like an accident. It sounds simple but every time I send someone to kill him, they don't come back." You see his silhouette leave from the window. "Hopefully you can succeed."

You make the cell dark and immediately yell for help. The guard stops at the cell and checks out the pitch-black darkness. He stupidly sticks his gun in to see if it disappears inside or something.

1d6=5

You relax in your office chair, ready to spring into action when someone calls for a deal.

Suddenly your phone rings and you pick it up. "Is this Mr. Nivlac?" Asks the person on the other end. "Well, if you are, I have an assassination job for you. Your reward is $600,000 if you accept." He clears his throat. "So do you?"

DICE RESULTS
5 = 1d6

While looking around on your laptop, the lights in your hotel room suddenly go out. You see a dark gas seep out of the vents near the window, bed, and bathroom. You start coughing.

You have 1 turn to get out of the room or stop the gas before you're knocked out.

If yes, then I'd grab the gun and drag it in and see if he follows. If not, then fck, lets do the same thing.
