I've been throwing around in my head the idea of an RP based on the game inFamous for the PS3.
For those who don't know what inFamous is about, this is the most basic of spoiler-free summaries, taken from the inFamous Wiki itslf, since I cannot explain it better:
By the end of the game, it switches from fighting the gangs to defeating the source of the first Ray Sphere blast, which I will not reveal for spoiler purposes.
There is also a second installment of the game, released recently. It follows a similar premise, just in a different city:
BTW, A "Conduit" is someone like Cole, who can either develop (or HAS developed)powers of some sort either from birth, or awakened through artificial means, such as the first Ray Sphere blast in Empire City.
If your'e still here after my long-winded explanation of the game's structure, here is my dilemma.
In the original games, the only (known) Conduit is Cole. (There are two others in inFamous 2, but I'm assuming not too many people on the KHI have played the game yet) In an RP like this, there would have to be more Conduits, and a more expansive universe to contain all of these super-powered people.
At first, I thought I would base it on the Evil ending of inFamous 2 (Skip to 1:45, unless you want to see the Good ending, too!):
(Sorry, that was the only vid with JUST the Ending I could find. ALL other vids with the Evil Ending had Gameplay in them, too. >_>)
But then I figured that basing it off of that would make them all Evil, and all on the same side. Not much of a plot, as you can probably tell.
I would appreciate any ideas, collaborations, and/or plots in mind.
I'm still developing a basic outline as well. When I have something, I will add it here.....

Spoiler Show
"inFamous is the story of Cole MacGrath, a bike messenger given an assignment to deliver a package that is secretly the Ray Sphere, a device that creates an explosion and gives the user special abilities. Cole survives the massive explosion and develops electricity-based powers, after which he falls into a coma. Soon, he discovers that his city has fallen into chaos under the rule of gangs and factions and must fight back against them to restore order while unearthing the conspiracy behind the package. The game is Karma based and your choices change how Cole's powers grow and the outcome of the story."
By the end of the game, it switches from fighting the gangs to defeating the source of the first Ray Sphere blast, which I will not reveal for spoiler purposes.
There is also a second installment of the game, released recently. It follows a similar premise, just in a different city:
Spoiler Show
"inFamous 2 opens in with a recap of the previous game, explaining who Cole MacGrath is, how he got his powers, and what he has to do to save the world from a monster known only as the Beast. After the Events of the first Game Cole met a NSA agent named Lucy Kuo. Kuo explains that she knows of a former First Sons scientist named Sebastian Wolfe living in New Marais who worked to develop the Ray Sphere and could find a way to give Cole's powers a boost.
With their next course of action clear the plan is to get into New Marais, find Sebastian, get some new powers, and get back out again. However, as they are leaving Empire City, the Beast arrives and begins destroying the city. Cole immediately jumps into the fray to fight the Beast and is defeated after a hopeless battle. Zeke and Lucy barely manage to rescue Cole and get out of the city alive.
On their way to New Marais, Cole and his group begin receiving news reports that the Beast is carving a path of destruction along the coast, apparently following them to New Marais. Deciding that they need some extra power, and in an attempt to earn Cole's trust again, Zeke begins to develop a weapon to amplify Cole's melee power. Unfortunately, upon arriving at New Marais, they discover that the city is under the control of the Militia, a group of xenophobic extremists out to exterminate Conduits. Making matters worst, the appearance of the Corrupted has caused the city to become a warzone."
