Life is Full of Strangers

by Joker the prince of all crime

Ten years after Max sacrifices Arcadia Bay to save Chloe, and they've moved on with their lives. But this isn't their story! This is the story of Arcadia Neo, a town built after the original's destruction. This is the story of twenty young men and women who discover that Max Caufield wasn't the only person able to gain powers, that other people have that capability. SYOC.

1. Chapter 1

Author's note: I'll only be allowing twenty characters for this. My mistake last time I tried one of these was that I left it as an open invite. Won't happen this time.

SYOC rules & format

RULES:

1. Characters may not have the power to reverse time. Follow that rule as loosely as you want. Hehe.

2. No copycat characters, period.

3. One character per person. *Rule is subject to change based on circumstance.

4. No extra violent/creepy characters. Nothing rated R please. No rapists is what i'm saying.

5. History has too intertwine with the Town in some way, I.E by the time the story starts they have to be in Arcadia Neo.

6. Powers can't be overpowered and must make some sense. For example, it is my headcanon that Max's power's come from the butterfly, which is her Spirit Animal, NOT Chloe.

7. Cannot have powers until beginning of the story

In other news, the person I have chosen to be our main focus is Caroline Grey! I liked her the best! What does this mean? It means that she'll be the one who we'll follow most of the time, we'll get parts with other characters every now and again, but she'll be our main lens to look through.

Runner ups:

Shaun

Robbie

Adelaide

Sarunas

Our Villains for this story:

Andrea - She is a psychopath with no regard for human life, later down the road she gains a purpose for her killings and becomes a self-righteous monster, throughout the story she doesn't care about saving the town or discovering where her powers come from

Lillian - She is an evil girl, reminiscent of Victoria but without many redeemable qualities. She cares about how her powers came to be only so she can gain more power, and as for saving the town? She could really care less

(Potentially) Mace - She seems close to Lillian, with the only real difference is her motivation: she wants popularity. She cares about the mystery surrounding the events leading up to the original town's destruction only because she fears being killed should history repeat itself; and certain things are telling her(and our heroes for that matter) that it is. I say potentially because she seems like someone that can be reformed.

(And because I fear repercussions from the LGBTQ+ society if I label her, a Trans person, as evil. I'm not a bigot in any sense, but her character seemed evil when she was submitted to me. So please don't be upset or triggered or whatever...And whatever you do, please, Don't slander me on Tumblr, have some human decency!).

Main Plot:

Our heroes (and villains) struggle to survive each other and discover the mystery behind the original's destruction, while at the same time figuring out where their powers come from. But behind all that, there are signs that history is planning a repeat! Can they figure out why and stop it in time? Read to find out!

And that's it, next time we talk the story will be underway. However, if I pull a Dragon Ball Civil War(*Shudders*) just kindly PM me and talk to me about it. If you guys keep bugging me about the story something's bound to get done! But I hope desperately that it doesn't get to that point
