[center][color=DCDCDC][i][h1]Platinum Days![/h1][/i][/color] Superhumans. A blanket term used to describe those who possess powers greater than those of “normal” humans. This term extends to those among the various non-human races or even those who possess objects of great power. The existence of superhumans has been common knowledge since the 40’s, though legends of superhuman exploits had existed for thousands of years before then. While there are many among the superhuman populace that simply wish to live quietly, many others decide to use their powers to defend the innocent. On the flipside, of course, there are other superhumans that look to use their powers for their own personal gain, often to the detriment of others. As such, public opinion of superhumans is split. While there are many who look upon the superhuman community with adoration, often forming fanclubs for popular superheroes or other open superhumans, there are many who see the existence of superhumans as nothing but destructive, an opinion backed up by the property damage that superhuman battles can cause. The setting of the story is [i]Platinum City[/i]. Located on an artificial island in the Pacific, named Avalon, the city stands as a symbol of superhumans’ mark on the world. While most of the population is still made up of normal humans, Platinum City is seen by many as the premier place to break out as a superhero. Both the island and the city itself were built through a joint effort between a group of heroes led by the legendary “Earthshaper Terrafirma” and the backing of various interest groups. As such, the island is thought to be the “superhuman homeland” and, in many ways, the first defense against threats that come to the Earth itself.[/center] [hr] [i]Fwoo[/i]. Well, that’s the basic setting info (with more to come in the actual OOC section, of course). In case it wasn’t obvious, this is going to lead into a superhero RP of sorts, spinning out of a 1x1 I’ve been playing and feeding my fetish for shared universes. The idea was inspired by a whole helluva lot of things. Western superhero comics, tokusatsu, all sorts of anime/manga centered around superheroes (OPM, Tiger & Bunny, ConRevo, etc.), and even just zany, large cast work like Durarara or Gintama. While I plan for there to be arcs to tie everything together, ultimately this is more of a “Slice of Life Superhero Action-Comedy” deal than a super-serious dealio most of the time. Be prepared for when/if things [i]do[/i] get dark, though. As far as skill level and all of that mess goes, I don’t ask for much, but I like to see at least mid-high casual. Try to squeeze out a few paragraphs at the least! This completes my maiden voyage into Guild intchecks~! Just trying to get a rough idea who/how many I might have to work with. Also, feel free to ask questions! Base Character Skeleton: [hider=character name] [Center][color=black][h2]Character Name[/h2][/color] [ Character’s Appearance. Pictures (anime-animesque) preferred. Additional hiders optional] [ Character’s Costume(s?) if they have one. Hiders optional. ] [Theme Song (Optional, of course)] [b]Appearance description goes here. I’d like to have at least one paragraph. A nice opportunity to bring up things that might not be super obvious. [/b][/center] [hr] [b]{Full Name}[/b] [I]Fill out name here[/i] [b]{Alias(es)}[/b] [i]Include your superhero/villain name if you have one. Put it in bold. Any other nicknames or titles go here.[/i] [b]{Gender}[/b] [i]You know the drill.[/i] [b]{Occupation(s)}[/b] [i]Do you have a day job, or are you a professional hero 24/7?[/i] [b]{Affiliation(s)}[/b] [i]Is your character on a team? Are they counted as a Supernova? “Employed” by Platinum City’s “Hero Network”? Could be a good opportunity to collaborate with other players.[/i] [b]{Seiyuu/VA}[/b] [i]Optional. Mostly for fun, since it’s interesting to think about who you’d have voicing your character if they were in an actual anime.[/i] [b]{Race}[/b] [i]I.E Human, Demon, Alien, etc. For greater categories like “alien” or something, actually specifying the species you belong to is preferable[/i] [b]{Age}[/b] [i]I’d prefer it if we could keep any young characters in their teens at least. If you can make a case for any younger, I can live with it. [/i] [b]{Personality}[/b] [i]Gimme (or, rather, everyone) as much detail as you can. I’d like to see at least one solid paragraph here. And you better make sure you’re consistent IC, y’all.[/i] [b]{History}[/b] [i]I’m not gonna ask for your whole life story, but at least give us some of the important bits. Give us some insight into how your character became the way they are. Try and pump out at least two paragraphs for me, aight?[/i] [b]{Power(s) and/or Skills}[/b] [i]Pretty self-explanatory. Power levels vary in this universe, so go nuts! Of course, I’ll give things a good ol’ fashioned review if something seems a little wonky or needs clarification. As expected of a superhero universe, there will always be Batman-style non-powered heroes or villains around too. Those of you who have special moves can also put them in a hider here.[/i] [b]{Equipment}[/b] [i]Does your character pilot a super robot? Do they have a transformation device a la Kamen Rider? A cool sword? Any items that your character uses go here.[/i] Customize the sheet how you see fit, as long as you hit the key points, it's all gravy. [/hider]
