So basically I’ve been on a big sports anime kick lately, Haikyuu!!, Kuroko No Basket, Yuri On Ice, Free. Now besides the homosexual undertones, they all make the sport they represent look even more supercharged than they are to watch normally. Every little move heightened, making even the most mundane play something exciting.

Now of course in something, especially like Kuroko No Basket. This leads to some moments that are pretty damn insane and probably not possible for even pro players, let alone high schoolers. So with that in mind I wanted to make a sports anime inspired RP, but we’re cutting the middleman. In this whole universe, people with superpowers co-exist with normal everyday folks. Superheroes aren’t really a thing, police and fire departments just hire the superpowered people who want to do good. Otherwise with a few small pockets of anti-superpowered people. There’s not really any friction between the two sides.

This does lead also to sports being cut down the middle. Instead of JV and Varsity teams, its Super and Normal divisions. The rules and set up is different for both divisions, and the equipment is more heavy duty for super play. Although each player in the super division wears a bracelet during play to hinder any advantages and keep things relatively even. The action is fast paced and more resembles an arcade sports game than anything the real world could produce. Both divisions play co-ed, and although normals have competed on super division teams, its only in cases where they’re legit extremely good and/or crazy enough to do it.

I don’t have a solid idea in mind for plot. I am willing to hear out ideas, since everyone’s characters are going to be important in some way to everything. It’s going to be action/comedy based, and I’ll probably implement some kind of small system for if moves or goal attempts work or not. I am going with football (soccer) because it's the easiest to set up, and I’ve been playing too much Rocket League lately. I am open to other possible sports though.

Question: Will this be using anime or realistic faceclaims?

Anime, realistic faceclaims doesn't seem right to me. But I'm probably not going to be super picky about it.

This sounds awesome. I'd be up for this, whatever plot you come up with.
Question: Would we be playing individual characters in a team or individual teams in a league. And then are we all in the Super League?

Individual players on a team, the name came from an idea based on Kuroko, where one player came from this dominating team that is now all playing for different schools. I wasn't sure about that though so its just a placeholder name for now.

And yeah everyone's on the super team. I don't have an exact set up in mind for what powers can be picked. It'll be in catagories though, strength, speed, etc....

Like I said too I'm open to having the focused sport be something else if people would rather something like basketball, baseball, or another sport that's got a good action flow to it. Football (soccer) just seemed like it was the easier to do and make for good moments.

Also does anyone have a preference if this is set in Japan, US, maybe England if we keep football (soccer) as the sport focus?

I'm working on the OOC for this as we speak. Here's the details as I have it...

The story is set in the relatively small town of Sakuragawa, in the Ibaraki prefecture of Japan. A three hour drive from the heart of Tokyo. The school's two football clubs have been on completely opposites sides of success. The normal football club is currently about to defend its third year as Nationals champions. The supers squad on the other hand has not exactly fair nearly as well. Things are looking bad for the super team. As the school isn't sure it can keep maintaining the equipment and set up for the super team if it can't perform.

However, this year the star player for the normal football team founds themselves arriving to the new school year with shocking news. Due to complaints from so many other normal football clubs about their skill level (As well as possible allegations of cheating/not properly tested to be normal/super). The player has to be transferred to the supers club. The super club has no idea how to take to having a normal on the team, as good as they are. This new player, along with a crop of new 1st year players. Show promise and might be the steps needed to change the club's fortunes around.

So while I'm certainly willing to make a normal player to fill in the spot, certainly if someone wants to make that character they're more than welcome too.

In terms of powers that are select-able I'm trying to make a list that'll be fairly well rounded. So far in terms of powers I have super strength, super speed, flight, elasticity, elemental users, and maybe psychic. Of course when in a game or practice they'll all wear bracelets that'll temper their powers down to manageable but still potent levels.

How does that sound to everyone?

Hopefully everything is made clear there, if you have any questions feel free to ask on the OOC itself or through PMs.
