Baybridge:
Era of the Old/New Gods
Baybridge:
Old Ghosts


Verthaven:
A Bloody Paradise - Days of Rain




Source



Welcome to Baybridge: Era of the Old/New Gods, continuation of Baybridge: Old Ghosts that takes place four months later (In October). An original superhuman setting that is less about the caped crusaders, and more of a realistic look at what the world would be like if Superhumans walked among them. And the results... vary. These superhumans are collectively known as Metahumans, people afflicted with a strange energy that has enhanced them in some way. These Metahumans are global, and many of them are only interested in peacefully living their lives. However, it's been seven years after the worst Metahuman disaster of all time, in which a Metahuman - known as the Devil of Verthaven with the power to end the world - appeared, and attempted to burn all to ash. After her defeat, an era of great change followed. Whether for the better or worse, is up to you.

In Baybridge, it's a big city in Washington in which many Metahumans migrated into the city, hoping to find a sanctuary. You can be one of those Metahumans (Or a baseline human), and participate in this new story. Even after the Verthaven Disaster, no one is truly out of the woods yet. New threats, and old ghosts, are waiting for their moment, and it's almost time for them to put their schemes into action.

Baybridge is a character driven RP where the characters are the focus. There will be a deep and complex storyline, but the characters will be able to act freely within it and make their own decisions. The RP will be focused on the characters interactions with each other as they are pushed through a crisis.

The Theme of this installment would be genes, and the idea of a "perfect human being," and the lengths some people are willing to go in the pursuit of it, and the obsessions with genes. In a story that heavily inspired by eugenics. This RP will center around the battle against the mysterious Founding Family, and their forces as everyone puts their efforts towards stopping their goals, regardless of what they may be. The challenge comes in the mystery behind them, and who they may serve.

A new Era is approaching,

Will you be apart of it?

Now that's out of the way, welcome, welcome.

This is the continuation of my bby, the greatest RP of all time. I kinda rushed the last part (which had a disappointing ending because of it) because 1). I came up with a cool ass overarching story that's so cool that it's not worth continuing the last story arc, and 2).I wanted to get some new people in a better, more efficient way.

So, I'm looking for some longterm players for this deep and intriguing universe - but most of you will leave anyway so I don't know why I'm putting this here.

Okay, I'm interested in playing the Greek God Prometheus, and yes I DID read your OP.

To be clear, do you mean like a guy who calls himself that? Or someone with the kind of age that they'd attribute themselves to masquerading as a god?

Well how about someone like Apocalypse? Calling himself Prometheus, seeking to enlighten all of Mankind with their supernatural intellect?

If you want to create a character with that kind of mindset that's possible but bear in mind the world won't sit quietly by. Might be a problem for you.

I would love to join. I have an idea of a Master/Thinker superhuman, if anyone is familiar with the Worm universe classification.

Alternatively, a cape called Scary Monsters, whose power would be to take on aspects and abilities and banes of characters from fables, fairy tales, folk stories and other powerful media and strongly enforce laws of narrative universe around him - e.g. if he takes on the form of Big Bad Wolf then everyone around him is straight FUCKED and has to believe his most retarded lies unless a lumberjack comes along, or if he takes up the aspect of Rumpelstiltskin he will be forced to begin - and always quickly complete - a task that is asked of him by anyone, but always for a great price unless the inquirer knows his name.
In the zone of the narrative law, things and possibilities are supernaturally compelled and swayed to unfold as in the world of the fable of his choosing - bullets will not hurt a bold Hero who believes that he is clad in the armor of True Love and Truth, a renown Evil Champion will wreak untold havoc and infinite murder until confronted with his highly specific bane - and if the bane isn't around then well, tough tits, shame you couldn't find a person pure of heart armed with a magical sword before you was ripped into pieces by the angry dragon.

@Keksalot I am aware of Worm, but this isn't your standard superhero rump. This is a deconstruction of the idea - how the world would be like if there were superheroes.

I put this on the first post. :P

@Mr Allen J
First of all, worm is exactly that - a deconstruction that deals with "realistic" superhero scenario.
Second of all, it's not like i wanted to play Worm here - it's just that it has a really good (in my opinion) classification system for the superpowers that helps to explain what a cape can do, which is why i brought it up at all.
What do you think of Scary Monsters and his power?

@Keksalot I used the wrong word (Stupid phone). What I meant to say was superhumans - there won't be caped crusaders or the sort.

I also wrote something from my phone before it was ate. But, his power doesn't really fit imo. It's too fantastical for a more scifi setting. Not to mention I don't really like powers along the lines of "can become fictional characters and have their powers."

Look at some of the characters in Old Ghosts/Verthaven if you want an idea of what I mean.

@Mr Allen J
Well, i can call this power "subconscious probability manipulation influenced by the psychological constructs of his mind" but okay, i get what you're saying.
The last Baybridge game had Mannequin, Willy Pete and Coil expies so i think there won't be a lot of harm done if i pick Bonesaw's power and roll with it?

Alternatively there's Janwar, an ex-GRU warrior who awakened his powers when a piece of shrapnel embedded itself in his skull. His power is to draw heat from his surroundings at an utterly astonishing rate in order to use the gained energy for crude biomancy-like manipulations - e.g. after reducing the temperature in 20-meter radius to -90 in a course of maybe a minute he can use all of the siphoned heat in order to drastically boost his strength or speed and harden his skin, regenerate quite a bit of damage or maybe turn his nails into hard metal-rending claws or gain greatly increased perceptions. Would that be good?

I am interested as well. My main working idea is a young man with absolute conscious control over his body down to the genetic level-able to speed up/slow down his biological processes and alter himself genetically at will-thus being able to transform, heal and so on. Basically a la Alex Mercer, just toned way, way down.

Gotta have an extremely powerful mind to multitask so efficiently on your molecular level. Wouldn't it rather be SUBconscious manipulation?
