The basic idea of this is similar to Prototype. Virus unleashed, some are infected, but aren't mindless. That's the gist of it. You are a sentient form of the Bloodburn virus. You can be around to stop the virus or help it spread. The military will fight you once they figure out you are the virus. This takes place in an unnamed metropolitan area.
As I've been asked for elaboration, this rp will be a sort of sandbox rp. No storyline except what is created by the players will be around. You will play the virus that has infected a body and made it wholly into the virus. You have a unique personality, set of morals, etc. Your powers reflect your character. Offensive powers are weapons while defensive powers deal with armor or avoidance. Support powers tend to augment senses to enhance combat ability.

I'm always up for an RP, and this certainly seems interesting enough.
Proposed character sheet:
Name: Jim Swift
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Hetero
Appearance:
Hidden:
Background: Jim was infected by the virus long before he showed any signs of it. For whatever reason he didn't mutate like other infected people did. His body accepted the virus into his bloodstream almost naturally. At first he had dreams of obtaining great strength, and with every dream he seemed more powerful than before. Just as his dreams hit a peak of power, he began developing abilities in the real world.
Personality: Jim is pretty laid back. He doesn't care about much but his own well-being. The powers he obtained from the virus had corrupted him and amplified his laid back nature, now sitting on the fence between apathy and lust for power. He also has a tendency to act cocky.
Goal: Jim has no solid goals. He enjoys what he has and makes the most of it. He prefers to just indulge himself with his powers, have fun and cut loose.
Powers:
Offense: Jim has adapted his powers to be able to form objects out of his own body mass. He can use this ability to "create" weapons that he can in fact separate from his body. While they may be separate, they are still very much a part of him, and he can manipulate them, or absorb them back into his body.
The weapons he has mastered are as follows:
Spear: The spear can be used as a two-handed close combat weapon, or he can throw it outwards. Once thrown he can pull it back into his body by his own will. When he retrieves the spear this way, it falls apart into a harmless black mass as it travels back to him.
Whip: The whip is really just a mass of tentacles twisted around one another. The whip can stretch out to nearly 10 meters by untangling itself into a thinner yet longer weapon, and can be used as a wide arc swinging weapon or a long range grappling device.
Defense: Jim has used his powers to more or less permanently modify his body into the shape of a black suit of armor. This Black Armor protects him from a majority of conventional weapons (basic firearms, bladed weapons, ect), however it does not protect his head, and it weighs him down, making it more difficult to build up speed, but also causing him to generate more momentum once he picks up speed. The protection that Black Armor provides isn't perfect, but it does provide a significant boost in survivability against most foes.
Support: Power Jump: The armor Jim has formed onto his body has a spring-like effect on his legs, allowing him to jump very high, despite his weight. He takes time charging this jump however, and he can't just do it on a whim. Both of his legs must be in solid contact with the ground and if either of his legs sustain serious injury this ability will be rendered ineffective.
I have to wonder how many other people will be interested in this.
Celebi is like a trophy wife. She's nice to show off to your friends about how awesome you are at catching the good ones, but she really can't do jack **** other than look pretty.

Could you specify what weapons you can make? No more than two or three please.
Your armor won't protect you completely, but it will function like Mercer's armor power. You will reduce damage, but you can't do anything acrobatic or requiring a light body.
Also, you can have a support ability if you wish. They tend to be things that affect senses, mobility, or the ability to survive like disguises or something along those lines.
Hope I don't sound mean by that, but I don't want anything to be unclear or too powerful.
I'm also going to make a character right before we start.

It's cool, I kind of wrote it up in a hurry so I was kind of vague.

Yeah, this was my intention, again I was a bit vague about it.
Editing now.
Edit: Added a support ability. Tell me what you think. =P

Sexuality: Bisexual, leaning more towards Homosexual.
Appearance:
Hidden:
Background: The virus was implanted into him by a group of scientist that were trying to find a way to counter, or destroy it. However, Jezebel ended up destroying them when the virus took hold. He eventually calmed down and became the being he is now. This particular man would prefer to stay out of a confrontation, unless someone deserves to be 'punished'. However, he's not an easy one to anger so he rarely goes into such murderous moods. However, he is a force to be feared when he's angered. It often takes a while for him to calm down and return to normal, making his 'moods' even more dangerous. He has even shown signs of having multiple personality disorder.
Personality: Jezebel is a calm, flirtatious guy. However, he will sometimes act rather...odd...given his normal self. This is what most people think of as alternate personalities. He doesn't really pick sides and he often spends time on both for a short while. However, at least he doesn't go blabbing everyone's secrets.
Goal: He leaves it alone.
Powers:
1) Offensive: Flammable blood. He throws his blood at a target and, when he snaps his fingers, it bursts into flames.
2) Defensive: Pandora's Box (Illusion-inducing mist).
3) Supportive: Vocal Sacrifice (Temporarily gives up his ability to speak to increase his fighting capabilities). His strength, agility, reflexes, and senses get a boost for anyway between 10 and 15 minutes
Yeah, this was my intention, again I was a bit vague about it.

Edit: Added a support ability. Tell me what you think. =P
Looks good to me.
To Oracle, looks good. Just want a clarification on what abilities get boosted by the loss of speech and for how long. Right now, I see it as a kind of adrenaline rush, gone rather shortly.
Just for everyone to know, you can have all three abilities active at the same time.
Name: Eric Kullmann
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Bisexual
Appearance:
Hidden:
Background: Eric's father, the only family member that he had ever had, was the first people that he knew, to get the virus. After he he didn't notice, but then slowly his father began to act strangely. He wasn't sleeping at night, and he seemed much more violent and opinionated than before. Then, after a couple weeks of such behavior, Eric confronted his father about it. His father went into a rage, age changing his hand into a sharp sword, and mortally wounded Eric. For an hour or two, he was believed dead, but then he started breathing again. Once he was fully conscious he learned about his new abilities, and began to feel like he was superior against those who were not infected by the virus.
Personality: Eric is a violent, personality. He likes to see things be destroyed, and people die. He's fairly easy to tick off, if you're not careful, and that's when his violent tendencies tend to be the worst. However, despite of this, Eric is a rather conflicted individual. After all, he wasn't always the way he is now, and sometimes there are glimmers of what he was before the virus, but they are vague, and rare.
Goal: The spread of the virus, but only to those that he finds worthy. He believes that those who 'fit the criteria' should become powerful like him. Those do not, because of any sort of 'weakness', should perish at the hands of the superior beings who are the infected.
Powers:Offensive: Pyrokinesis. He can control and make flames with his mind, this includes using it as a mid/long range, and lighting his body on fire for closer range.
Defensive: Because of the Pyrokinesis, he has abnormally tough skin. His right arm can morph into a large shield that he holds infront of himself. It can deflect most attacks, except for armor piercing rounds.
Supportive: Eric can easily gauge the strength of an opponent, almost immediately, when he sees them. This often helps him in his choosing who he infects/doesn't infect and kills.
Other: He's addicted to dark chocolate. He has to have his share of it everyday. Or else....well, it's even less of a pretty picture.
Name: Ray Uchiha
Age: 18
Race: Human
Sexuality: straight
appearance:
Hidden:
Backround: Ray's brother had become infected and his body couldn't handle it so he turned aggressive and mindless, Ray decided to kill his brother with his own hands and from then he became a hunter of the infected sworn to kill all those with the virus, But one day somehow an infected scratched his arm causing a deep wound. days later Ray's arm kept getting worse and worse and he hated the fact he was becoming infected until one day when someone noticed his infecton and tried to kill him and his arm saved him when it first turned into a shield then into a sword killing his attacker.
Personality: He's quite a cool character and never worries about much, He doesn't have much compassion but he is very likable to people he gets on with, He will kill anyone and anything without a second thought, he fights every battle no matter how big or small if its his last because to him it just might be
Goal: Even after getting infected Ray still sticks to his vows of destroying the virus, he see's his new powers as a gift to help him with his cause, but anything could happen
Offensive: concentrating the infection onto a certain part of his body he can deliver almighty punches and sometimes even form weapons
Defensive: same as offensive he will concentrate the infestion on a small part of himself creating a small shield
Supportive: he can absorb weak minded infected to temporarily increase his own infection thus enhancing stuff like how big a shield he can make and how strong his attacks can be .. also the higher level infected he can absorb may even give him more powers..
Other: Awareness, he somehow subconciously picks up the surroundings he's in and even the people that are about giving him the best attack and defense strategy
If theres anything you dont like or not to sure on feel free to ask i'll sort it out XD
Sephere, first, nice Jace picture. Second, hope you don't mind if I have fun randomizing what aspects get stronger when you consume infected. I plan to do that to make your power a little less powerful.
Character Sheet
Name: Cassandra Null (Codename Athena)
Race: Lycanthrope (Panther)
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Bisexual
Appearance: Cassandra stands at 6 foot even, being quite tall compared to most men she has met. She has light brown hair that flows to her waist when loose, though she usually wears it in a ponytail. Her eyes are emerald, though the infection changed her eyes, causing the emerald to be ringed by dark blue. Her skin is slightly pale. She wears a practical white dress that is specially made to retain perfect mobility. Her boots are light brown and sturdy, yet they feel supple and support her feet. Her features are quite pleasing and sharp, complementing the predatory gleam in her eyes. Her body is slim and lithe, built like an acrobat or an assassin.
Background: Cassandra had been walking down the street, minding her own business when a man approached her. She made no move, not even flinching when she noticed he was some type of sentient form of the virus. He seemed to see something he liked and grabbed her by the throat, infecting her with the same virus. She felt nothing except a slight burn and understood that she would be one like him. So, she decided to follow him around so she could gain power and become strong enough to fulfill the potential he had seen in her.
Personality: Cassie is a bit expressive and kind to those she likes. She is predatory and calculating. She is loyal and intuitive.
Goal: Leave it. (Focus on own power)
Powers: Offensive: Cassie has a power similar to her creator's, though her power is the ability to control ice, and by extension, water. She usually forms it into claws as a weapon, though she can do just about anything she wants with it, even docile actions.
Defensive: Cassie can use her control over water and ice to create a full suit of ice armor that seems to shimmer and flow as she moves. It both reduces damage and has a slight improvement upon deflection of enemy attacks. The downside, though, is that she loses speed and agility, disabling her ability to do acrobatic maneuvers and cutting her jumping ability.
Support: She can see perfectly in all conditions and can track enemies by scent since her senses were improved even more than her natural level.
Other: Her hearing is acute and her movements are quiet, though not silent. This comes from her heritage as a panther lycanthrope.
