Loss of Mind (just a brainwave)

[The Silent Orator]

So, bored in my computer programming class, I had a daydream. What would happen if our characters suddenly had amnesia and didn't know who they were or that they even had powers (or could use them).

It would be a great way, I guess, of bringing in any power level, and still making it an equal RP. Essentially, when they get amnesia, they don't have access to their powers until their memories are restored (including superhuman strength that comes from energy rather than from physical energy). Everyone'd be a 1, 2, or 3, depending on their body and stuff.



I don't have a setting yet, but I'm leaning toward a futuristic RP... possibly AU. The plot, I'm working with, but in this world that everyone is on, the military of the planet automatically drafts anyone who is a John (or Jane) Doe with no fixed abode. Since our characters have amnesia, they are automatically drafted into the military, where they are sent into the war that is currently going on. Throughout the RP, eventually, they will meet with characters that will be 4-6 (and eventually 7-9), and will slowly start to regain their memories and their powers as time fades on.

That's just the basic premise of the RP. If there are any questions or comments or concerns about the RP, feel free to ask away. If I see enough interest in the RP, I'll start working with the plot, the storyline, how open-ended the RP can be, etc.



So, anybody?

Okay, sounds ike a good idea, Flame.

What about those that have real super strength?

The super-strength would have to be a physical ability... as in, their bodies physically have the strength, and is amplified in no way by any power (or outside influence) whatsoever.

But, assuming the character's natural body has the muscle for that, then yeah, it would still be in the character...

EDIT: After an IM convo with Veros, I noticed that I mentioned that the characters would slowly regain their powers and memories back, which once again creates the gap between low, medium, and high-powered. I have already made a few altercations to the rough-draft plot I have in my head to correct those issues.

EDIT #2: The cause of amnesia is currently eluding me, but I want it to be related to the main antagonist of the RP (I may have to create a new character, or convert an AIM RP character for this, since I do not think Pseixhthor would work).

EDIT #3: I might be using Hagoe Ilrery as a character in the RP as, like, an NPC and another face to associate with... but that depends on whether he gets approved or not. *is still awaiting his approval (or disapproval)*

EDIT #4: Despite the RP being set in a futuristic setting, I might be able to contrive a plot device that could allow modern and medieval characters to enter, if anyone had any characters from those timeperiods who wished to enter.
