This RP is so in-depth and incredibly rich with lore, that it took me a whole day just to write out the bios for several NPCs. This RP is [i]NOT[/i] a one-shot. This RP takes lots of time, effort and heart... but in the end, it's all worth it. Just make sure you're also willing to put that in too. Thank you very much! [hr] [img]http://i.imgur.com/O4yldxf.jpg[/img] [h2][b]Historical Context[/b][/h2] [hider=Historical Context] Ever since the dawn of Time, early humans were nothing but primates that barely wandered beyond caves or rudimentary shelters. However, it wasn't until much later on in the Human Timeline in which the Gods and Goddesses from other dimensions often walked among mankind, granting them knowledge, evolutionary prowess and even special powers. Since then, humans evolved to what we are now, and such gods and goddesses that walked among us long ago were worshipped as such. Even humans with such powers bestowed upon them by other devine powers were worshipped as well, such as that of Jesus Christ. Since then, these powered individuals, known today as Metahumans, have popped up in history incredibly often, and are often described as either 'divine souls' or 'unholy abominations'. While they consistently popped up in history and cultures all around the world, people read them as folklore, and continue to do so to this day. The only accurate reports of metahumans came during World War I, where they often blended in with soldiers who had to participate in the brutal trench warfare that ensued. Survivors and Veterans of WWI often told stories of metahumans saving their unit from certain death, as well as metahumans on the other side of the trenches raining death upon the battlefield as well. While they were dismissed as delusions back then, governments began secretly recording such incidents. They weren't very prolific until World War II, where the Nazis took great interest in metahumans in order to further their 'Master Race' agenda. Since then, metahumans were often rounded up and thrown into camps in countries under Nazi occupation, and were tortured and experimented on. While some of them fought on the side of the Allies and the Soviets in battle, helping them win back significant ground, many went into hiding and fought in small resistance groups. After World War II, some of the surviving metahumans vowed to never let such things happen again, and formed a group known today as the Powerbound Alliance, and sometime in the 1950s, established their roots in Costa Rica. The Powerbound Alliance soon flourished since then. Having established their roots in Costa Rica, they were able to establish close ties with the government and have great relations with the general public there. As the Powerbound Alliance built up there, however, the Cold War was in full swing. Both the Soviets and Americans discovered the Nazi's secrets regarding metahumans, and both nations tried to create their own in order to overpower each other. The Space Race was in full swing, using the many talents of metahumans to help launch humanity into space. Aliens were also discovered, and the existence of multiple dimensions were too, and the Cold War continued to rage on into the 60s and 70s. While the Korean War and Vietnam War occurred, as well as other conflicts that the Soviet Union participated in, most of those operations were near failures, and both the Soviet Union and the United States continued their projects in regards to space exploration and metahuman research. At this time, some nations gained their independence, one notable country being known as Kurdistan, one that started off as a small weak developing country. During this time, during the Cold War, the Powerbound Alliance undertook various operations all around the world, helping out people in developing countries, as well as assisting weak nations in fighting against warlords and terrorists. As a result, the Powerbound Alliance grew, and established safehouses and small outposts all around the world. However, in 1991, the Soviet Union has collapsed due to economic stress and many nations demanding independence. While the United States didn't fare so well itself either, it was able to recover from the large mess known as the [i]Metahuman Cold War[/i]. Since then, while nations rebuilt and newly-formed countries dug themselves out of the dirt, the Powerbound Alliance set their eyes on the newly-formed country known as Kurdistan, a nation that had a very progressive foundation compared to most of its neighbors. As a result, the Powerbound Alliance established its roots there as well while its Costa Rica branch did mostly humanitarian work in the wake of the Cold War, as well as in the wake of various storms and hurricanes that ravaged Central and North America. While many metahumans on the American and Soviet side of the cold war either joined the Powerbound Alliance, became superheroes or lived their lives in peace, some formed groups of their own with various agendas in the dark, while various conflicts took place at various borders, or within them. Over time, nations deposed of their tyrannical rulers, and people around the world became more free. After most of the conflicts around the world have subsided (to a degree), the Information Age was on the rise, and technology was taking the world by storm in the form of computers, smartphones, and the internet. Citizens all around the world became distracted, and while many world governments were working on diplomatic solutions to gain allies and resources, the Powerbound Alliance flourished, participating in humanitarian efforts all around the world. After establishing their roots in Kurdistan, the Powerbound Alliance made their operations global, and included non-metahumans into their ranks after many valiant soldiers from various military groups offered to help the Powerbound Alliance after the metahumans helped them out in various conflicts around the world. At that time, the Powerbound Alliance founded the Powerbound Academy, a secluded high-school/college situated within the mountains of Oregon (United States). Since then, the world was relatively at peace, and with the United States and Russia working together to fight various threats all around the world, the Powerbound Alliance flourished as well. It's 2024 right now. Kurdistan and Costa Rica are prosperous nations as a result of the involvement of the Powerbound Alliance, and various other developing nations have also prospered as a result of proper trade and reconstruction. However, a growing threat is rising within some countries, and various metahumans are starting to take power in such countries and factions. The world's nations are well aware of the threat that other dimensions might pose to the planet, and are working together to prepare for that. And while various technology is still taking the world by storm, it's best that the citizens of Earth do not know the threats that loomed beyond the darkness... [/hider] [img]http://i.imgur.com/zrqbiwq.jpg[/img] [h2][b]Setting Context[/b][/h2] [hider=Setting Context] There are various settings all over the Powerbound Universe, and the context regarding them would be explained here. The characters found within them, however, will be found in the Character Tab. Below is the map to the Oregon Hub area, which has the main settings that will be visited most often. Three of the main ones include the Powerbound Academy, Hastings and Oured. More settings will be added to the map, and added to this list once they are discovered. [h2][b][i]Northern Oregon, United States[/i][/b][/h2] [img]http://i.imgur.com/Klspf3x.jpg[/img] [h3][b]Powerbound Academy[/b][/h3] [img]http://i.imgur.com/4uwgUDW.jpg[/img] The Powerbound Academy is really a massive estate high in the mountains near Hastings. It originally belonged to someone else back in the 1970s, but the place was put up for sale once the owner moved to Hawaii. It was purchased in the 2000s, and it oversaw a major overhaul, including but not limited to seperate housing and maintenance buildings in different parts of the property. The large span of property has a whole lot of land up in the mountains, and is surrounded by forests all around. The mansion was converted into a Superhero School in the matter of a few years, and its features show. [b][u]The Powerbound Academy has:[/u][/b][list] A massive property that is twenty acres, which includes a large training course within the woods, a large open field in the front and in the back, a large garden in the back, and a large and long U-shaped driveway that leads to a gate with a guardhouse. The guardhouse itself is bulletproof and has an escape route that leads into a bunker below. An entire section of the building is dedicated to various classrooms. Most of the classrooms are made for Math, History and English classes, though there are many classes built for science, technology and other hands-on studies. Most of the classrooms have desks that are situated in a circle, with an opening to where the teacher would do their thing. Most of the time there's books, dry erase boards and computer stations along the walls as well. The science classrooms, however, have their own dedicated lab stations, as well as their own dedicated equipment. Another section of the building is dedicated to the living quarters of the staff and students, with some of it going underground. The living quarters are just a series of fancy hallways, the hallways themselves a series of doors on either side. The living spaces behind the doors are a standard bedroom setup, where only one person would stay in. Typically bedrooms would have a large bed, a desk and a bookshelf, as well as anything else that the person who stays in there might desire (though certain things may be prohibited). The hallways each have their own bathrooms and smaller kitchens. A massive industrial-grade kitchen with a large cafeteria on the other side of it. The cafeteria has windows that look out into the back of the campus, and lead out there as well. The kitchen has their own freezers and pantries that are often fully stocked. The kitchen is off-limits to students, though. A large theatre room/auditorium area. It's the largest room in the entire building, and it comes with comfortable theatre-grade seats, with a stage up at the front with a removable podium. Behind the stage is a massive projector screen. All around the walls are speakers, and there's a small projector room as well. There's a large security room where a few guards chill out at. It has its own closet where the maintenance tools and janitor supplies are stored at, and it also has its own weapons locker. Along the walls are quite a few security desks with many screens that monitor the property. Often times they are left alone or have an STC member stationed there. When unmanned it will send automatic updates to authorized personnel. A recreation room, complete with pool tables, a few pinball machines, and a few old arcade machines from the 80's. There's also couches with TVs that have PCs (#pcmasterrace), and the latest Viruix Omni treadmills for folks to enjoy their fully immersive VR experiences in. An observation deck, in the tower-like part of the building, complete with windows that look out towards the mountains and Hastings. Has a few couches, chairs and bookcases. A fully-stocked library, complete with many bookshelves containing books with lots of information regarding Supernaturals and World History, as well as a few sitting chairs, couches, and a few desks with desktop computers on them. There are a few EMP-resistant bunkers situated 100-feet below ground, though they are normally closed off and used for emergencies only. They have weapons, nonperishables and other such things to help survive a doomsday scenario. A large garage that has a delivery truck, a small school bus, a few security vehicles and vehicles that belong to the building's staff. A small parking lot at the side of the property where students and some of the staff would park at. A long, gated private drive with a few older vehicles parked on the side. There are cameras situated in the trees to monitor who goes in and goes out. The drive is long and leads down into Hastings.

[u][b]Listen to GM[/b][/u] - I know this is obvious but my word is law. However, please do not hesitate to PM me for absolutely anything, as I am lonely sometimes and I do not want to be a dick. xD 1. [u][b]Have Common Sense[/b][/u] - Rules are same as that on the site. However, excessive cursing is allowed in my book as long as it is IC dialogue. However, please follow all site rules if you don't want to get in trouble. 2. [u][b]Have Respect[/b][/u] - I will not tolerate any rudeness, drama or anything else along those lines OOC. IC drama/disrespect/rudness is cool, especially if you guys work it out OOC amicably. OOCly, please take all of that drama to the PMs instead and work it out. I will have none of it. Also, if you do have a problem with me, as I said above, please talk to me about it, and I will try my best to get it all sorted out, okay? 3. [u][b]Have Decency[/b][/u] - Please keep all interactions T for Teen, PG-13 or whatever it is in other countries. While I am fine with mature interaction, this site isn't, so I don't want to get banned. Please keep all of the excessive swearing in IC dialogue, and keep all sexual contact PG-13. Use a timelapse of some sort to skip past mature scenes, and if you guys want to play it out, please play it out via PMs or in the Discord chat. Also please refrain from using offensive/derogatory terms OOCly as well. 4. [u][b]Have Verbosity[/b][/u] - Please, for the love of [i]GOD[/i], post with at least three paragraphs of non-dialogue/action! Details, descriptions, all of that is absolutely appreciated, we really want to know what your character is thinking, feeling, doing, all of that! The more details you can put in a post, the better. However, do not bloat out posts with actions from other characters, just react to them, and put in what is needed for us to get a good idea of what's going on with your character and what's inside his/her head. [i]This is a High-Casual RP, so I suggest you bring your A-Game![/i] :D Also collab posts made in between players are totally allowed and encouraged. 5. [u][b]Have Good Attendance[/b][/u] - While I don't want you to check in every single day of the week, that would be appreciated though. Please post at least twice or three times a week. The more frequent, the better. That way we don't have to wait for posts from other characters. I'm a very frequent poster so you don't have to worry about me. However, if you're going to be away from the site for a bit, please let us know ahead of time in the OOC and we'll skip, and let you pick up once you get back. If the RP stagnates, I'll either suggest a timelapse or let people post flashbacks to give their character(s) some more backstory. 6. [u][b]Have Good Character...s[/b][/u] - Like I said in the interest check, this is all on a case-by-case character-by-character basis. In general, aim for characters that have powers that make them strong enough to take on common enemies (or not), and interesting enough to make the character seem more original and fun to follow... a character that would get us hooked. I'd rather not have a character that turns intense conflicts into cakewalks, or simply destroys the dramatic tension by simply breezing through the situation with OP powers. Doing that would take the fun out of everything and ruin it for everyone involved. Character rules are listed in full below. 7. [u][b]Have Fun! :D[/b][/u] - And please enjoy the RP. If you have any suggestions, questions, comments, concerns, anything, please PM me for whatever reason. I have no qualms talking to people and I would love suggestions for the RP, whether they be for scenarios, villains, and other stuff. Have fun! [b][color=ff0000]In short, please be reasonable and respectful in this thread. That's all. :)[/color][/b] [hr][center][h1][b]CHARACTER RULES[/b][/h1][/center] Good characters are a must, and diversity is incredibly appreciated. Please take your time, and please put a whole lot of love into your characters, so that way everyone has a good idea of who's who, and what kind of people they are. However, the characters [color=red][b][i][u]need to be approved before they are put under the CHAR tab.[/u][/i][/b][/color] Please mention me so I can read over and approve your character. Lower-tiered characters (like that with powers that are not that powerful yet but are powerful later on) is [i]encouraged[/i], but not required. There are also those playable races: - Metahumans (Superhumans) - Normal Humans* - Aliens* - Synthetics* - Other Supernaturals** * = You have to have a good reason why you're playing them, and a complete history, backstory, details and all of that are a must. Discussion is encouraged. ** = There are some other mythical beings out there that exist that I can't put in this list as of yet. These require a good explanation as to what they are so I don't have to do a whole lot of research in order to just check one character. Also, these types are also strongly discouraged as I do not want this RP to turn into an episode of [i]Supernatural[/i]. XD Here are the playable alignments: - Lawful Good - Neutral Good - Chaotic Good - Lawful Neutral - True Neutral - Chaotic Neutral* - Lawful Evil** - Neutral Evil** - Chaotic Evil** - Lawful Stupid* - Chaotic Stupid* * = These alignments are for fun/funny secondary characters who play as comic relief, or for people who would mindscrew their enemies/other players. However, please do not use those type of characters to derail the RP or to destroy the RP in of itself. ** = While villains are optional, they cannot be the sole character of a player. When playing a villain, one must maintain lots of contact and communication with me so plots won't intersect and crash into each other. Please do [i]not[/i] make god-mode sues or any other super-powerful character that can make the combat part of these RPs extremely easy. I want to give them challenges and struggles. Cakewalks are boring and frustrating. Again, put lots of detail and lots of love into your character sheets, otherwise they won't be accepted. Below are the powers that are banned from use in the RP. [color=red][h3][u][b]Banned Powers[/b][/u][/h3][/color] 1. Powers people have already made for their CSes, as it would make the RP a little less fun. Variety is the spice of life <3 2. Anything that make any conflict a cakewalk for the character. They can become more powerful to the point where it will be a cakewalk for them, but don't make them start off too powerful. This can be overridden with behavior (like the person is a pacifist and will show restraint to not kill his enemies... a bad example but an example nonetheless). Depends. 3. Any power that will destroy planets/universe/moons/cities/whatever. 4. Any power that will destroy the RP itself, whether it would halt the RP or just make the RP no longer fun. 5. I don't know, just whatever I see that could cause a whole lot of problems. I'm GM, and my word is [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6cyDsuNx_U]LAWWWWWW!!![/url] Please mention me whenever you put up your character sheet. When this RP is labelled "FULL", I will NOT accept any characters under any circumstances. However, if there's a shortage of characters, I will allow people to join in progress, but you would have to talk with me about that first so the process would be seamless. Do [b]NOT[/b] post your characters under the characters tab until I approved them. Multiple characters are allowed, but no more than 2 per person. Also please choose a color for your character, so you can use it for dialogue posts. To do this properly, paste this character sheet in Notepad, and replace all of the "???" with the hex number of your color. Also, delete the space in between the [ hr]'s so they'll work in the post.
