There is one true constant across all worldwide metahuman activity. More than any consistent powers, faces, or conflicts. That constant is…



It’s been twenty years since the dawn of the age of Metahumans - by most people’s reckoning, anyways. Metahumanity has become a staple of life. Go to work, school, pop by the store, see Jimmy down the road, and watch some shitbag catch a jet airliner in the face on live TV.

Still, knowing a Metahuman personally is rare - the chances for Metahumanity are calculated to be, roughly, 1-in-a-million. But they more than make up for their low numbers in bodycount.

The first ‘superhero’ anyone can remember is a fellow by the name of War Child. Powerless himself, War Child decided it would be a great idea to stop Bank Robbers by firing an RPG at them. While they were inside the bank.

The world is fixated upon the duels between immensely powerful Heroes and Villains, but few care about the destruction their battles tend to leave behind. Metahumanity has become one of the single most destructive forces on the planet. Some argue the destruction is unfortunate, but necessary, to stop the “bad guys” from causing even more damage. Others beg to differ.





Welcome to Collateral Damage, the Superhero RP that concerns itself with as much action and mayhem as possible in and around New York City. The idea here is to have a sandbox environment where the players will craft their own stories - though I do have a few grand-scale plots up my sleeve.

The tone that is being shot for is, broadly speaking, fun but violent. Battles will be huge, explosive, and have a large price tag associated with clean up. Some degree of realism is expected, although many times, things will default to Rule of Cool. That said, I still expect some honest role playing, instead of someone that runs around blowing shit up 100% of time.

Interest is sustained, yet I will see what other gents have in mind before casting my lot.

Starting work now. First character will probably be a thieving supervillain with powers over electricity.

@DocTachyon Question about Hunters: What exactly would the "bagging and tagging" of metahumans entail? I was brewing up a former Hero who left the spotlight and became a Hunter, probably due to disillusionment with the "kid stuff" and the casualties caught in the crossfire.

Well looks like I found the perfect role play to break some stuff. I'll set up a character soon.

Reminder that White Alice and I are monopolizing making psychics, and fleshing out psychic lore with our sheets. Oh, and their character is a total lightning bruiser type, if anybody's worrying about overlap.

Here's mine. Hopefully this doesn't conflict too much with the abovementioned 'lightning' bruiser.

Heh. Heh.

I hate myself.

I think I got a good idea for a cryokinetic character but I wanted to know if this would be an acceptable side effect for using the guys powers before I really started fleshing him out.

@ZeroCuero It varies mission to mission. Sometimes they're assigned to capture someone and drag them back to base for a 'fair trial' in a Kangaroo Court. Other times, it means being deployed to murderalize the shit out of someone.

@Cuccoruler I dig it! Only have one complaint, and that's the skills section. Is his only notable skill that he's got a pretty good intuitive understand of Construction? He doesn't know how to fight any better than a regular person or anything like that? If he doesn't, that's okay, but I wanted to clarify. Also, if you prove yourself to me in RP, I'd totally be up with upgrading you with a few more Odin powers.

@Dusty I really like him! Seems ripe for growth as a character. Only problem is the equipment - to what extent are his arrows specialized? Are we talking really just Explosive Arrows, or are we including things like Boxing Glove arrows, splinter arrows, etc.? Also, before each engagement, I think I might want to go over what gear specifically he specially packs for each engagement. Also, how strong are his explosives? About how many can he bring per fight? Are they set-and-forget explosives, or grenades?

@MonkeyBusiness Yep, I'll PM you shortly.

@Black AliceI'll make sure to keep it in mind.

@Sisyphus Accepted! Also, you're looking for Private there on Identity. A public identity is more for someone like Luke Cage.

@Ghost QueenHmm... I'm willing to accept that, but I'm gonna ask for some heavy restrictions. Like, only once in a while, can't be used on other PCs without permission, etc. That much kelvin is a lil too much to be flinging around wily nily.

Oh yeah I totally agree, I'm going to have it where he can't even use his powers without "exploding". The most he can do is chill your drink, the whole explosion thing is part of the reason why he stopped the hero gig the first time. Incineration was a factor.

Thank you kindly. Am I clear to move her to characters tab, then? Or did you want to reserve the first post?

@Burning Kitty Nice sheet. I'd just ask that the History be made a little longer. Also, what are we talking for max strength on the force shield? And you mention she's very intelligent - how does she apply this intelligence? Is she a skilled Chemist? Physicist? Scientist Supreme?

@ArenaSnow What makes you say that, if you don't mind my asking?

@Sisyphus Yep, you're clear to move her.

@ZeroCuero I dig it. Welcome aboard.
