DISCLAIMER: EXPECT THE WORST JUST INCASE, I'M TOO LAZY TO LIST EVERY POSSIBLE OFFENSIVE ELEMENT OF THE STORY, ONLY JOIN IF YOU HAVE NO TRIGGERS
People in the city of Forkell's Rock, a tourist reliant city right next to a large rock shaped like the founders face are suddenly gaining superpowers somehow
This will be separated into rounds where you will temporarily control the actions of someone starting off their new life as a Superhuman, where you will let them go forever or until the time is right, as you leave to guide another
Let's hope you don't cause too much chaos, for the sake of every man woman and child in that city
You are something otherwordly, something unnatural, a being of impossibility that came to this rock by pure chance
You have pity on these small, insignificant, semi-hairless apes
They have built their concrete towers so tall yet they cannot even match the sheer size and awe of your 10-Dimensional form
Your mind of many fractals calculates it's next move
You will give them (Terrible) power, and (Maddening) wisdom, since you're what they would call a "Benevolent God"
And also because you're fricking bored, all the other naturally evolved lifeforms died out many years ago
All you have left is this small blue ball
You'll see this through to the end
You feel crackling under your skin
Not that you know it, but an alien force took pity upon you and decided you'll be its first playmate
You're Toby Schmidt
You were recently kicked out of your asshole parent's house since they're pretty conservative about the whole, you being a guy on the inside thing
You've been living in some shitty apartment for the last 2 months working at a Mcdonalds to get by
You were just taking out the trash
You didn't ask for this
But then a flash of light came forth from your eyes, scaring away a nearby raccoon, and shocking that creep who always watched you and your coworkers take out the trash through his windows
You have power now, you can feel it, and you're pretty damn freaked out, you even know the basics of how it functions!
How do you know that!?
Gift: King Of Bones
Passive ability to heal skeletal structure from any damage, other parts of you are not so lucky
Control over skeletal structure in 3 specific moves, can only use 1 move at a time
Exoskeleton: Cover yourself in shell of ultra hard bones, crude claws included
Maw Blade: Rip out another persons tooth to transform it into a blade that can cut steel, will become normal once you deactivate ability
Fire!: fire your fingerbones like bullets, can pierce diamond, grows back in an hour, finger flesh will grow back too, only non-bone thing the ability will heal
You can ask for any facts about the current character that you wish to know
If you're in the mood for trying to make choices as In-Character as possible
But we're technically an eldritch horror whispering in their mind, so making them do crazy shit can be explained with ease
You just stand, there, befuddled beyond measure by that strange description of a power?
You guess?
Maybe
You dunno
Anyway you've been standing there for awhile
Samantha, coworker of yours, obviously sleeping with the boss to make up for occasional workplace messups, but she's nice to work with
Where was I? Oh yeah
She's holding a broom and just whacked that raccoon from before off your head, very careful to not whack you
Turns out you were standing still for awhile
She's just been trying to get you to move, she waved her hands infront of your face
She shook you
She flipped off that creepy peeper that watched you and the other employees take out trash for some reason
She checked your pulse too, you're breathing pretty fine
When you finally began moving again Samantha quickly jumped back in fear like a statue came to life
Samantha:"Oh thank god, you're okay, I don't have to move an unconscious or dead body"
Toby:"So nice of you to worry for little ol me"
You say with a bit of sarcasm
You spent the rest of the night working, and avoiding Samantha's questions about why you were a human statue for a whole 8 minutes
You dealt with some jokesters saying "Order 66" in the drivethru
A morbidly obese dude did unspeakable things to one of the tables
The highlight of tonight is that only 2 of the many gangs in downtown started a small fistfight outside
After you hang up your uniform, say your goodbyes, and prepare your pocket knife since the hood is an opportunist for making people suffer and you're a teen walking alone
When you make it back to your crummy apartment you lock the door and land face first on your mattress
When the morning comes
What do you do?
[] Test out powers in the most discrete place you know
[] Show powers to Samantha
[] Show powers to Government
[] Show powers to Public
[] Make a superhero costume and do some small heroics first
[] Make a supervillain costume and do some small crimes first
[] That all sounds dumb, make money with this opportunity, somehow
Since you do the night shift only, you've got some free time to test this out
See if what the hell happened actually happened and you didn't just think up some weird power with a bone theme
You arrive at the most discrete place you know, the old mall, literally nobody ever comes here, and if someone does, they're probably shady and or a weirdo that most won't trust
Bezos really did a number on the place, you wonder when he'll upload his brain as a drone hivemind to bring about a dystopian cyberpunk future
You push the thoughts aside
You begin to test
Armour
Bashed head with door: Door broke off hinges
Jumped off roof: Concrete broke
Tried running: Very heavy, awkward to move
Tried to stab with pocket knife: New knife needed
Tooth Swords
Used dead dog tooth: Neat blade
Used dead pigeons beak: Nothing
Used dead cats tooth: Neat blade (Okay there are lots of dead animals in this mall, not alot of them look natural)
Cut broken door: Smooth as butter
Cut wall: Smooth as butter
Fingerguns
Range: Too far in the distance for me to check
Strength: The wall is swiss cheese too now
Healing Factor
Ripped out tooth: Grew back immediately, unlike finger bones, removed tooth gave me Y/N option somehow
Y: Tooth grew into an entire new skeleton, does not move sadly
You hear noise, someones entering the mall, you cover your face with your hood, secret identity stuff
You try to find the most casual greeting position
You just stand in the center of the mall waving for a couple seconds, but then realized thats kinda creepy
You tried to lean on something, but fell over because you sliced up almost everything
You then stopped at sitting casually on the fountain
Which was weird too, but it's too late they're already here
It's just a trio teenagers wearing clothing that all fit into a colour scheme and theme
Upstart gang that don't know what they're getting into
Or very threatening looking dance troop
A tall one sees you and says
Tallest: "Hey Lady"
You grit your teeth a bit at that
Tallest: "This is our hideout, homeless shelter is a couple blocks down"
There are laughs from 2 of the gangmembers
Except the shortest who taps the tallests shoulder and says
Shorty: "Their clothes are really too clean to qualify them as a homeless individual"
Tallest then looks down and says surprisingly calmly
Tallest: "Greg, I was insulting her"
Greg: "Oh, that makes sense now, sorry"
Tallest: "It's okay bro we all make mistakes
You raise your hand
Toby: "I'm a dude"
Tallest: "Still though get outta here, we hanged out here first, wait are you the dude who keeps coming here to kill anima-"
The second tallest taps him on the shoulder
Middle Dude: "Dude, how did you not yet notice THIS!?"
Middle dude is gesturing to the mess all over the mall that you caused while testing
Tallest: "Oh, oh yeah... WHAT THE FUCK! IT'S LIKE A WARZONE!"
They're looking around gobsmacked
Greg casually holds up the skeleton you made
Greg: "I found this"
Tallest slaps the skeleton out of Greg's hands before saying
Tallest: "THIS IS A CRIME SCENE, AND YOU JUST TOUCHED A BODY WITHOUT GLOVES!"
Greg then puts on some gloves and then picks up the skeleyou, Tallest pulls out some napkins and wipes the whole skull reluctantly to remove the chance of finding Greg's fingerprints
After thats done, Tallest stomps over to you and says
Tallest: "Okay, what the fuck happened here!?"
What do you do
[] Lie
[] Explain
[] Run
[] Write-In

Round 1 Part 6: PANIC and receive new dangerous powers
A million trillion ways to get out of this situation pulsate through Toby's mind and your many fractals
To the outside observer you were in a state of constantly about to do something, regretting it before even starting, stopping, and repeating that process over and over again really fast
The gang just watch you confused
Greg: "Is he having a seizure?"
The others just shrug
You continue your storm of indecision repeatedly until a glitch occurs in your eldritch body
You accidentally gave him another ability
Oh shit
RISE: Control up to 30 copies of your own skeleton, they have no abilities aside from whatever allows them to move
The skeleton on the ground gets up
And begins choking the Tallest one
Skeleyou: "Nyeheheh! This is what you get for nonconsensually wiping me!"
(P.S they always assume that they're being summoned for combat so you'll have to order them to not attack stuff)
What do you do?
[] Order Skeleyou to stop
[] Order Skeleyou to choke harder and join in the fight
You dart off, leaving them with Skeleyou
Your heart beat increases
The world around you blurs
You're home before you even knew it
You chug a can of whipped cream to forget that you left a man to possibly be choked to death
You have power never seen before, you've seen some of its limits
You probably got a man killed
And it's almost time for work
As Toby walks there we must move on, we might return to him at a later date, but this isn't all his story
