For years, the world had been awed by a yearly comet that would fly by the planet, resulting in a sight that everyone had a chance to see in their lives, unlike the other comets that would only fly by Earth once in a lifetime. However, as these years passed, more and more people became disinterested in the comet, it's appeal having been worn out. Because of this, it wasn't long until a group of aliens (don't question it) decided to use the comet as a set-piece in their plan to eradicate a majority of the human population. Their weapon of choice would kill humans in their sleep at midnight (in their respective timezones).

However, those who didn't sleep were effected differently.The way the weapon worked was through amplifying the person's last action. In the case of sleeping, where the body was mostly inactive, the end result was death. In the case of those still awake though, their last action was amplified, giving them strange, inhuman qualities. One person may become a werecat because they were caring for their pet cat, while another person could be able to produce electricity because they were fixing something electronic. With the aliens leaving to do whatever, the rest of the human population was left to cope with the strange new abilities they had suddenly received.

Rules:
1.) Normal Sylestia rules apply (No Mary Sues, OP characters, etc.)
2.) I don't mind one sentence posts, but if it becomes frequent, I will warn you. This is mainly so the other Rpers have something to work with in their replies.
3.) Your character will not have full control of their new abilities at first. Would you be able to control your character's power the instant you realized you had them? Probably not.
4.) As fun as having powers from a video game you played or something based around this website, your character won't suddenly be a Sylesti/superhero/etc. They will have powers based on the computer/console and what they were doing at that moment on said computer/console (typing, drawing digitally, etc.)
5.) Have fun! This is the most important part of any Roleplay!

Skyla woke up to silence the morning after she turned off the nightlight in her sister's room. This was abnormal, especially with how her sister normally liked to shake her awake. Having just graduated, and knowing that her older sister would be out of the house soon, Skyla's younger sibling wasted no time with her. Then she realized that she couldn't hear anyone in the house, not even her mom, who was normally making breakfast at this time. Confused, Skyla got out of her bed, and walked into her sister's room.

She seemed to be peacefully sleeping at first glance, but the instant Skyla noticed the lack of breathing, she grew worried. She shook her sister violently like the sibling would do to her, but never got a response. It was very hard to take in, but her sister was dead. Even more worried to her parent's state, she ran into their rooms, only to find them in the same condition as her sister. Her sudden sadness shifted into anger for a brief moment as she wondered who in their right mind would do such a thing, and before she could break anything, she was taken aback by her reflection in her parent's bedroom mirror.

Did she always look like this? Thinking it was another trick, she quickly looked at her hands and grabbed her hair to look at it, only to find that it was in fact not an illusion she was seeing. She had to tell someone, and her first thought was her friends. She quickly sent texts out to them, hoping to get a quick reply, and after changing into some new clothes, Skyla was soon running towards Yang's house. Hopefully she could keep Skyla company while she waited for help.

Alice Forseeker was already up. A few leaves were swirling about her, which was mildly annoying. She lounged about on her porch, hoping for something to happen.

Soaria Klevitski attempted to shake her mother awake, but to no avail. She teared up a little, then started mumbling "big girls don't cry" to herself. Something flicked at her head. Soaria looked at herself in the mirror and found..... Dragon ears on her head. She was very confused, and also saw small fangs in her mouth. "Uh.... Hopefully that's not bad?" She said to herself.

((Sorry for the start..... Writer's block.))

She yawned. She had fallen asleep an hour ago but surprisingly didn't feel tired at all. Strange. I usually get u at eleven after reading most of the night. she thought. Ginger (her cat) got up and yawned. She patted the cat's head before getting up and stretching her whole body down to the tip of her tail. Tail?!? she looked down, her body was covered in fur. What's happening to me?

Kimberley was sitting on her bed, snuggling her cat, Fred. She had not slept at all the other night, and had made pancakes for her siblings that morning. Glancing at the cat clock in her room, she went to wake up her younger brothers and sisters, excited to surprise them with the breakfast she had made. However, as she went through their rooms, she noticed they all looked deathly pale. After shaking each of them, she discovered that they had passed away in their sleep. Alarmed and upset, she tried to splash some water on her face in her bathroom to wake herself up from this nightmare, and froze mid-splash, spilling water all over the floor. Her skin had taken on a grey hue, but more surprising as her face, now adorned with emerald green eyes in place of her amber ones. More shocking was her hair: once the fiery red of a sunset, it now was colored with blue and black streaks, topped with fuzzy black cat ears. Thinking it was a prank, she tried taking them off, but the ears wouldn't budge. It was then that she noticed the tail, and the world came crashing down upon her.

"I'm a...cat?"

She ran to the mirror in the bathroom and gasped at what she saw. It was her, but...not...her. She was covered in black fur from ear-tip to tail-tip. Her hands were covered in claws, she turned to Ginger, "What's happening to me?!?" "Well it appears you have turned part cat," Ginger said. Her face went deathly pale, even if she did have fur, "You...you can talk?" she asked. "So you finally understand me," Ginger said. "Come on Ginger!" she said before heaving Ginger up into her backpack with her head sticking out, "We have to go." "What?!?" Ginger said as she stood up. Sarah quickly checked her parent's rooms, they were dead. She wondered if anyone else survived. She ran outside and out into the world.

Yang woke up on the couch in her living room. After hearing someo-something, out side at about 11:56 PM. Yang got up and went into her parents room to say she was going to work, but it was silent. She didn't even hear the faint sound of breathing. They were both dead. Yang ran to check her brothers room. He was dead to.

Yang ran to the bathroom to wet her face. But when she saw her skin, she screamed. "WHY AM I WHITE!!!" Yang's normal very tan skin was pure white. Her blond hair, was blue and silver. "Who has done this to my family and me!" Yang Ran to the door as she heard the knock.


"Thank God it is you Sky- OH MY GOD YOU ARE YELLOW!"

Hunrin put the finishing touches on his digital drawing and looked up. Was that sunlight through the blinds? He shrugged, thinking it wasn't the first time he had stayed up all night to finish a drawing. He quickly posted his picture of a fruit bowl and grabbed a banana off the table on his way out the door. Hunrin wrote a note and posted it on the door, leaving a fruit bowl minus one banana on the kitchen table.
Out on the street, Hunrin carried his drawing pad under one arm, just in case inspiration decided to show itself while he was on his walk. Peeling his banana, Hunrin stopped, and a wrinkle appeared on his brow. There, in his hand, was a banana peel without a banana inside it. He waved his hand over it like some kind of magician, but there really was no banana there even though he could feel substance under the peel when he squeezed. Upon closer inspection, Hunrin discovered the peel wasn't entirely solid, either. Through the inside of the peel, he could see the outline of his hand between what appeared to be brush strokes. Hunrin immediately dismissed the idea as ludicrous, seeing as how drawings and paintings simply could not become a reality. Hunrin tossed the empty peel aside and continued walking through what he assumed would become a very interesting dream.

Skyla was happy to see her friend answering the door, but she looked strange, like her, "I know. I'm guessing you know your skin is white as snow and your hair is blue?" She moved her eyes to where they focused on the inside of her friend's house, then back at Yang, "Where's the rest of your family?"

"Yeah, I know I am Snow White." Yang looked out on the street, no one was there. "Oh, my family... I found them dead this morning..." Yangs eyes changed to a dark grey color.
