Title: Supernatural: Above And Beyond
Gaia - March 9, 2006 08:54 PM (GMT)
Plot: For five years the Winchester brothers have been embroiled in the desperate search to find their father and the truth about their mother’s death. Sam and Dean have delved deeper into the supernatural world than they ever thought possible. Sam’s prophetic dreams have developed into an ever-present psychic power; he can now read minds and has premonitions even when awake. Dean, after an unusual encounter with a minotaur during which he was bitten, was gifted with the half-bull, half-man’s supernatural strength. The cases they have been on get exponentially more complicated, however, and even with these new gifts they are having a more and more difficult time.
Finally realizing that they need help, they turn to a lot of the teens they have saved over the years, some with their own supernatural gifts, some not. Cassie, Dean’s ex-girlfriend (Route 666 Episode) is the first on their list of contacts. She reluctantly agrees to come, hoping to somehow salvage things with Dean. Since her experiences with the paranormal, she became a talented computer hacker and, because of her knowledge of the press, can easily manufacture false identites. Next are the Collins, Hailey, Tommy, and Ben (Wendigo Episode.) Since their time with the Winchesters, Ben has developed a strong empathic ability. Tommy has become a munitions expert and sharpshooter, and Hailey has become trained, talented martial arts expert; they are both determined to protect themselves and their brother if anything like the Wendigo happens to them again. They are eager to come with Sam and Dean, hoping to help others as they themselves were helped.
The brothers receive a call from Lori (Hook Episode) after she graduates from college, earning two Masters in Paranormal Science and Psychology. She agrees to join them as their paranormal expert. Drew, a distant relation of Max Miller (Nightmare Episode,) panics when he begins developing a telekinetic ability even stronger than that of his third cousin. His great-aunt calls Sam and Dean, who come to calm Drew and end up taking him with them.
Charlie’s (Bloody Mary Episode) senses, starting with her eyesight, became more and more acute over the past five years. She now has the sight of an eagle, the nose of a wolf, and the hearing of a bat. Charlie also now can move with the speed and graceful fluidity of a cat. Having long since informed the brothers of these new abilities, they recruit her to be on their team. On the way to pick her up, they receive a call about a firestarter, and stop to investigate. They find Elijah Curtis, a young black man that, after the gruesome murder of his wife by his best friend, suddenly found himself with a power he wasn’t sure how to control. To keep his town safe, help him control his power, and give him a purpose outside of revenge, Dean and Sam bring him along.
Dean became friends a long time ago, before he and Sam started hunting together, with a woman known as Indi. She was a professional driver for NASCAR at the time, and had also been a stunt woman and transporter of illegal goods; and, oddly enough, at the time of his call, a five-star chef. Realizing there was no way everyone they recruited was going to fit in his ’67 Chevy Impala, Dean gave her a call to see if she would be a driver for their team. She had no idea that he was involved with anything supernatural, but agreed to give it a try, still rather skeptical about the whole thing.
Finally there is Aggie, a white witch they met on the road about three years ago. She comes along as their magical aide, knowing a variety of spells and potions to drive demons and creatures away.
[This is where the actual RP would start:] To improve camaraderie and help everyone work together as a well-oiled machine, the brothers break from hunting for the summer and bring everyone to a large farm one of their contacts allowed them to use. There they all train the others in the basics of their various skills.

Name: Dean Winchester
Special Ability: Superhuman Strength
Age: 29
Looks: Tall, well-built, and darkly handsome, he has a devil-may-care attitude about his looks. Dean takes after his father in appearance, but with his mother’s coloring: rich blonde hair and tawny eyes. He usually dresses in a comfortable, clean style, with lots of layers.
Personality: The more outgoing of the brothers, Dean uses his inherent charm and attractiveness to put people at ease. His optimistic outlook on life masks the residual pain and frustration of his mother’s death and his father’s disappearance, but Dean is not one to give up, ever. Obstinate, intelligent, and loyalty to the bitter end are three of his strongest characteristics.
History: When he was only four years old, Dean was a witness to the horrific incidents that resulted in his mother’s death. While he wasn’t in his little brother’s room that night, he still remembers; he was all alone in his own room, in his bed, alone with that smell, that strange, rotten sulfurous stench that leaked under his door and permeated the air… and then the screaming. At first he froze, eyes clenched shut, covers yanked up over his head. But then he thought, Little Sammy, that’s Sammy crying… my brother might need me. Dean rushed into the hall, just in time to see his father, frantic and confused, run out of the nursery carrying Sammy. He called out to him, “Daddy!” And then he took Sammy from his father and ran out of the house, intense heat chasing him down the stairs and out the door. He tried to comfort Sam, shush the crying, but it wasn’t working, and he was worried about his parents. Then suddenly his father was there again, and John caught them both up in his arms, and then they were running. Something exploded, and they were thrown forward, and then there were fire fighters, and sudden calm. Dean turned to the house, and watched as the roaring flames engulfed half of the only home he had ever known.
That was the end of the life he had lived for four years, not a long time, but an eternity to a kid. He kept asking for his mother for hours, until his father finally came out of his deep, grief-stricken trance long enough to explain things to him. They went to stay with his parent’s best friends, Mike and Kate, and he overheard his father telling Mike what had happened that night. Dean never even thought to disbelieve it. His father wouldn’t lie, so his mother died in the way John said. As simple as that, at least for Dean.
A month after Mary’s death, John took his family on the road, devoting himself and them to hunting for her killer. The more they traveled, the more they learned about the world of the supernatural. Every year brought a piece of the puzzle closer, and every year Dean became more and more devoted to his father. His relationship with his brother, however, deteriorated, largely due to the fact that Sam would basically deny the importance of what his father was having them do. Truth to tell, when Sam left for college, Dean was a bit relieved; sure he would miss his brother, but maybe absence would make Sam realize how important family really was.
When that didn’t happen, Dean pushed his brother from his mind, concentrating on becoming a better hunter. Sometimes John sent him on missions by himself, but more often than not, they went together. Until one day about four years after Sam went off to Stamford; his father left on a mission and didn’t come back for weeks. Desperate to find John, Dean went to California and asked Sam to help him search for their father. After the Winchester brothers returned from their first hunt, Sam’s girlfriend died in the same mysterious way as their mother, and the brothers were reunited in the hunt for answers.
They have been searching for John for five years now, only receiving occasional phone calls and messages from their absent father. About three years into the search, they went up against a mythical beast that took them forever to identify, mainly because they never expected to see beasts like the minotaur outside of Roman myth and legend. Dean was bitten by the beast, and at first the bite began to turn him into another minotaur. Sam reversed it by killing the original, but not in enough time to keep Dean from gaining the half-bull, half-man’s supernatural strength.
Other: Cassie is Dean’s ex-girlfriend, and he still has strong feelings for her. But he couldn’t stay in one place long enough to have a real relationship. Now that Cassie is on the road with them, he’s hoping to renew things with her.

Name: Andrew Miller
Special Ability: Telekinetic
Age: 28
Looks: Extremely tall and lean, Drew likes to look roughly polished. He has long, coppery blond hair and intense blue eyes. Dressing in a modern, clean, slightly preppy style, he’s the classiest one of the group.
Personality: Highly intelligent, sarcastic, and the slightest bit snobby, Drew is true to his wealthy roots. He has an extremely hard time trusting people and tries to push everyone away before they can reject him first. Conversely, he would take a bullet for a stranger if it were necessary. Drew is painfully shy, but covers that with a thick layer of cocky bravado.
History: The only child of a financial mogul and his independently wealthy wife in Connecticut, Drew was a lonely, forgotten child, only trotted out when it was convenient or useful for his parents to show him off. Drew’s childhood had no Mary Poppins story, either. His nanny, who went by the name of Bruce, never sang to robins or gave him a spoonful of sugar. She was a hard, nasty woman, who scared the rest of the staff and forced Drew to spend hours every day alone, locked in the nursery or schoolroom, with nothing but books for company. The only time he was allowed the leave the house is to go to his soccer practices, which he hated anyway. Drew was good at the sport, but just couldn’t connect to any of his teammates, and they constantly made fun of him.
He was homeschooled until he was fifteen, then he was sent away to Georgetown Preparatory School, a Catholic all-boys college preparatory academy in upstate Maryland. There, he had no better luck with making friends, instead, due to his intelligence and his sarcastic wit, making an enemy of almost his entire school. Drew was once again relegated to spending hours a day in either his room or the library, dreaming of the day that he could get out of the academy, out of his parent’s house, and off on his own. The day of his graduation was like a godsend; he had no plans to go to college, believing correctly that he was intelligent enough to make his way in the world without it.
Unfortunately, his father had other ideas. Drew was brought home and informed that he was going to go to college or face dire consequences. Instead of brushing his father off and making his way out into the world on his own, eighteen-year-old Drew buckled under the pressure, and went to Georgetown University. He majored in Business, Accounting, Spanish, Russian, and French, though he would have much rather studied social work or anthropology. After graduating at twenty-four, he was once again forced to go to law school. More and more, Drew dreamed of breaking away from his family’s control. Graduating from law school at twenty-seven, he went home for a final break before starting work at one of his father’s many businesses as their corporate lawyer. During that period, his father finally pushed him over the limit. Mitchum brought home a woman, the daughter of one of his business partners, and informed Drew that he was going to marry Olivia or be cut off from the family forever.
This started an explosive battle, where at first only words were flung back and forth for hours. Then Mitchum raised a hand to Drew, and, beyond frustrated, Drew felt something in his mind twist; suddenly his father flew across the room and smacked into the wall, scrabbling frantically at his throat for air. Everything in the room was moving, and neither his mother nor any of the staff could open the door into the library, where Drew and his father were fighting. Drew himself was having a hard time figuring out what was going on; it was like his mind was going in and out. Completely freaked, he turned away from his father, who slumped to the floor unconscious, and yanked open one of the doors, running from the house.
He took his mother’s Jag and ran as fast and as far from home as he could think to go. After months of being on the road, going randomly from place to place, he remembered the staff’s hushed stories of his third cousin Max, of what he had done to his father and uncle, finally resulting in Max’s suicide. He thought, then, that Max’s mother might have answers for him, and he went to her in Michigan. She contacted Dean and Sam, who had tried to help her boy, and they recruited Drew to be on their team.
Other: Drew still has a hard time forming connections with the members of the team, especially Charlie, who tends to pick fights with him whenever she can, mainly for her own amusement. Secretly, though, he has a crush on the raven-haired harpy.

Name: Agatha Franklin
Special Ability: White Witch
Age: 24
Looks: Petite, thin, and rather pale, Aggie doesn’t strike a necessarily imposing figure. Her hair is a strong, rich golden orange, given to wild curls when she doesn’t take the time to straighten it. She dresses in a funky, earthy style, preferring dresses in interesting colors and patterns to the regular jeans and a t-shirt.
Personality: Funny, outgoing, and a bit out there, Aggie is the wildest one of the group. She tends to say whatever pops into her head, and is always upfront and honest. Aggie is a devoted friend, and the glue that holds the gang together. She has a sympathetic ear and is sensitive to the feelings of others.
History: A native New Yorker, Aggie is the oldest child in a family of five; her two little half-brothers, identical twins, are fourteen years younger than her, the sons of her mother’s second husband. Her mother, Patsy, became pregnant with her while in high school, and dropped out to raise her child; Aggie’s biological father wanted nothing to do with her. Patsy took up waitressing in a Brooklyn bar to support her child and, without the money to hire a babysitter and loath to leave her baby alone, Patsy brought Aggie into work. She grew up around old, quiet Italian men, bossy, cheerful Irish mothers, flirtatious, fierce Latinas, and boastful Brooklyn boys; essentially, the whole of the veritable melting pot poured in and out of the bar’s open door.
Aggie loved it there, and flourished. She had the freedom to wander where she wanted when she wanted, to visit whomever she pleased, and that melded well with her personality. Extremely content, she never thought that anything would change. Of course, when she was twelve, something did.
His name was Paul Antonelli, a soldier, and he was back in Brooklyn for only a few days, to visit his mother and father. He came into the bar with some of his childhood buddies but stayed when he saw Patsy working the tables. Paul struck up a conversation and the rest, as they say, is history. He and Aggie’s mother were married two months later, and all three of them moved to a military base in Virginia.
Aggie never liked Paul, and truthfully, Paul never warmed up to her, either. She was too outspoken for him, too weird, and he couldn’t understand the appeal of raising another man’s child. Even as a twelve-year-old, Aggie could sense his disinterest, and it only served as another hardship in a life that had suddenly become very restricting. The rules on a base are many; you can’t just wander wherever you please. And her new step-father, a devoted Catholic, forced Aggie and her mother to go to church every Sunday, even going so far as to have Aggie enrolled in Sunday School. The girl, who had declared herself agnostic at the ripe old age of five, hated all of the trappings and traditions placed on her from both the church and Paul. She missed all of her friends and bar family in Brooklyn, especially considering that her mother barely paid her any attention anymore, either, and all of the kids at the base school bullied her for her clothing and the funny way she talked.
When her brothers were born two years later, Aggie realized she was no longer needed, and ran away successfully. At first she stayed at a large camp for homeless teens outside of Portland, Oregon, where she was first introduced to Wicca. Aggie embraced this religion wholeheartedly. It simply made sense to her, particularly the principal ‘an ye harm none,’ and she became a loyal practitioner of the Craft.
But even at the camp, she found restrictions and rules. So she left there, too, and wandered across the country. During her travels, around the age of twenty-one, she ran into Dean and Sam, and helped them with a remarkably sensitive case involving a witch who used the Craft for evil. Eventually, though, Aggie went back to Brooklyn and took her mother’s old job at the bar. Three years later, she received a call from Sam asking her to join their little gang. Though she loved the bar and her bar family, she was ready for a change, so she agreed to come along.

Name: Indira Kaur
Special Ability: Professional Driver/Racer
Age: 27
Looks: Indira has long, thick, beautiful dark hair and deep, almost black, eyes that complement her naturally tan skin. She is tall and curvy, with what some may call a perfect ten figure. None of that matters to her at all, however. Indi dresses in a casually sporty style, almost boyish, except for the fact that she wears as little as she can legally get away with; more because she hates how restrictive clothing can be than because she wants to attract attention.
Personality: Tough, smart-mouthed, and intelligent, Indi is like one of the boys. She doesn’t take crap from anybody and believes her opinion is the only one that holds any weight; it takes a lot to get her respect. She has a softer side, however, especially when it comes to those weaker than her or those in some kind of trouble.
History: Born the youngest and only girl to a restrictive Indian family in London, England, who had five sons already, Indira Kaur was supposed to be her father’s crowning glory and her mother’s little flower. Instead, they got a handful of pure unadulterated trouble. She spent most of her childhood tagging along after her brothers, getting into all kinds of scrapes and scraps. She was never home when she was supposed to be, never did anything her mother asked her to do, and caused such a ruckus in her beginner’s ballet class that her instructor was forced to expel her permanently within the first five minutes.
Instead of learning to love her for being who she was, her parents constantly tried to control her, grounding her for months at a time, buying all of her clothes for her so that she had to wear what they chose, and not allowing her to take part in any sports-related extra curricular activities. The culmination of their dominating her life occurred when they forced her to go to an all-girls private high school, separating her from her brothers for the first time. Indi kicked her rebellion up a notch, then, and began drinking, partying, and abusing drugs heavily. At her graduation, which she barely managed to get the grades to do anyway, Indi showed up both drunk and high, hanging all over her bad-boy rocker boyfriend, and caused a huge scene. Her parents took her home, sobered her up, and told her to either shape up or get out of their house. With a well timed “Fuck you,” Indi picked up her keys, hopped on her second-hand motorcycle, and roared out of her parent’s life.
After wandering through London for a while, picking up odd jobs here and there, Indira ended up at a British production company, signing on to be their newest stuntwoman. She worked with them for two years, the length of her contract, then switched to one based in LA that was willing to pay her a lot more money. After another two years, that bored her too, and she began to take little side jobs as a transporter of illegal goods. Finally, she quit stunting all together to be a transporter. Unfortunately, she was shot and almost arrested during what she thought was a routine transport.
Completely freaked out by that experience, Indi searched for other avenues to indulge her reckless nature that wouldn’t end with her being riddled with bullets. She found NASCAR, and became the first foreign woman driver in the history of the sport. Excelling in her craft, Indi won races for years; during this time, she met Dean, who was in her neighborhood to investigate a spirit-possessed car. He told her nothing about his job, and after a brief but entertaining one-night stand, they parted as friends. She didn’t give him another thought until he called her six years later and asked her to be a driver for his new team. While she still didn’t exactly believe in the things he was telling her, she agreed to come along.
Truthfully, Indi was bored again. She had raced for three years, then gone to culinary school, hoping a change of pace would hold her attention for a while. Ending up working in a five-star restaurant in Phoenix, Arizona, she found out that being a chef wasn’t going to hold her attention either. The call from Dean was like a drink of water in the desert; both refreshing and welcome.
