{ PLUSES }

Pluses are, essentially, humans with a little more to them. Their name even means "Humans Plus". They usually have one or two abilities that exceed humanity's natural gifts -- telepathy, for instance, or weather control -- but otherwise look and act very much human. { BACKGROUND AND LORE } No one quite knows where the Pluses come from. Some believe they are the result of human and Fae coupling, while others believe they are Witches who can only harness one ability. Either which way, Pluses are excluded from humanity, and yet considered "too different" to belong to any other race. Because of this, Pluses have begun to consider themselves their own race.  Since their "coming out" a few years ago, Pluses were seen as Freaks and Abnormals, both of the previous quickly becoming slurs for them. Before they rose up, legislation was passed all throughout the world to try to hold them down, despite their few allies. Currently, Pluses hold Rio de Janerio and San Francisco. { ABILITIES } BELOW ARE JUST A GENERAL IDEA OF WHAT ABILITIES PLUSES COULD HAVE. THIS LIST IS BY NO MEANS THE END ALL BE ALL. PLEASE GO HERE FOR A MORE COMPREHENSIVE LIST. You are allowed three powers. If you want or need more, you must ask an admin for permission. SUPERHUMAN SENSES: Increased sense of sight, touch, smell, hearing, and/or taste. ACCELERATED HEALING: Ability to heal rapidly from any injury; the rate of recovery varies from character to character. Can sometimes result in the slowing of aging. EMPATHY: Ability to read or sense the emotions and/or control the emotions or feelings of others. SONIC SCREAM: Ability to generate vocal sounds of a higher amplitude than a normal human. TELEKINESIS: The ability to move objects with one's mind. { WEAKNESSES } HUMANITY: Unless their ability dictates otherwise, most Pluses are just like normal humans and can be killed with a shot to the heart, decapitation or of any illness. As stated before, this can vary based upon the Plus' ability.  OTHER WEAKNESSES: Each Plus character must have one weakness for each power they wield.
