Somewhere in the near future …. (Mar 27, 2025 to be exact)
Noone knows where he comes from. Is he human? Alien? A god of old? All we know is there is nothing and noone else like him. He showed up about a week ago (Mar 20, 2025) like a Superman. Yeah, just like in the comic books. A tornado emergency had been declared in the Oklahoma City area. A F5 funnel had formed and was headed for the city when he arrived. Three individuals plus a family of 4 reported being saved by him. The news got weirder. He turned away from the group of survivors he had assembled to face the tornado. Then he took off and flew into the tornado. It glowed with a swirling energy giving off arcs of lightning, then slowly dissipated.
There were reports afterwards of the same costumed man arriving at emergency centers with wounded, assisting first responders, reopening travel routes. But he didn’t stick around for thanks.
Little more has been learned about the man save for the fact that he did tell several people that he was NOT Superman, no S. But he offered no name.
He stands an estimated 6’9” to 7’0” with dark hair. He wore a suit that his his eyes and hair. But he was caucasian and had no real accent. He was extremely polite. You know the saying ‘strong streak of good?’ He gave that sort of a first impression. He was seen to have lifted objects massing several tons.
As you can imagine his sudden appearance has drawn speculation. It has also drawn the attention of the government. So many questions need answers.
So … tall, dark … probably handsome. And he is the news story of a lifetime. (Research project?) This is a job for Lois Lane … or whatever your name is. The problem is that this guy won’t stand still. He showed up two days ago in eastern Turkey in response to a major earthquake. Get this: he spoke Turkish.
The traditional hurricane season for Atlantic has begun in June. But for the past decade tropical storms have been coming earlier. Several years ago they were starting in April. This year the Gulf of Mexico has a Category 3 hurricane growing and headed for landfall in New Orleans … again. The … superhero … seems drawn to major disasters rather than criminals.
About the RP
This is to be an Advanced / Detailed RP. I am looking for someone who can post daily. (Yes, I realize that won’t happen EVERY day. But I get bored when RP’s grow stagnant.)
Your character does NOT have to be a reporter. I mean, I know how cliche that is. But the superhero in question IS following the news. So his actions are a little predictable along those lines. And nothing says you can’t have skills beyond journalism.
If you want to go xenobiologist looking to prove the existence of an alien on Earth, this guy isn’t the answer you are looking for. He has a sense of humor though and just might run with it for fun doing Vulcan greetings and maybe even a Mork From Ork greeting.
He does have a secret ID.
No, the world has never had a real superhero before - except the ordinary variety you might have heard of in the news. (I mean real world news, not the RP. There are some real world costumed vigilantes out there.) This guy is a whole new game. He may not be bulletproof or anything like that. He does wear a suit that offers full contained coverage. (Hey … an alien might need a vacc suit to survive on Earth ...)
