THE 10 YEARS DARK FUTURE LATER OPEN RP POST MEME HYBRID
THE 10 YEARS DARK FUTURE LATER OPEN RP POST MEME HYBRID THINGY
(Which I am far too lazy to code in a way that looks pretty.
Here's the scene: a few years from now (one or two) the government decides that it is tired of these superpowered people mucking everything up ever. Maybe it's triggered by the Coalition making a true victory; maybe it's the HIVE's fault. Either way, the fed cracks down on Ported. Hard. Using technology ironically invented by Ported - namely, depowering guns and stasis cuffs - they hunted down, arrested, and, in some cases, exterminated Ported, after finally breaching the Porter itself and partially locking it down.
Ten years later, Ported are all registered with the government. People still get ported in, on occasion, and sometimes people still get ported out - those are the lucky ones. However, the whole resurrection thing? Yeah, that doesn't work most of the time now. Instead of getting dog tags and a communicator, newly Ported are greeted by armed guards who implant you with a tracking chip and tell you that using your powers is a federal offense. They apologize for the inconvenience and encourage you to live a normal life.
Those of you who behave? You get left alone, for the most part. If you can hide what you are, you might even have a decent job. If you look like a metahuman, tough luck - no one is going to hire you. Ever. And you're going to be picked on and treated like shit, becuase everyone knows - using your powers, even to defend yourself, will get a SWAT team armed with depowering rays and high-powered lasguns on you like white on rice.
Those of you with dangerous powers? You're watched like hawks, and the second you step out of line, you're whisked off to a mysterious facility in the ocean by Long Island, never to be heard from again. If your powers are too dangerous, you can bet that the government is hunting you down with intent to kill.
Maybe you haven't behaved. Maybe you've somehow found a way to evade capture, living day to day on the streets, never staying in the same place for long. Maybe you're trying desperately to organize a resistance group in a world where your every move is watched.
Either way. Welcome to the City, Freak.
Thanks to Alba for the original idea ^_^

(also zero, alba, if I fucked something up just um. let me know ^_^;)
