[color=mediumseagreen][i][b]"Over the last six years, I've watched Engine City merge with Chase Chemical, and surrounding metropolitan neighbors to form Mega City in the southeastern United States. Chase Chemical is the largest privately owned chemical plant and lab facilities in the world with over one hundred and twenty thousand employees including it's own police forces and fire houses. The region was officially named 'Mega City' once the population hit the ten million mark. To think the nation's capital is less than five hours away and only home to a little more than six hundred and seventy thousand people. For all these people, at least two percent of the population is superhuman. I tried going the powerless vigilante route for a few years, but I can't compete with people who can knock over skyscrapers or run across water. Lately though... I've noticed a few dead superhumans showing up in my neighborhood as well as a staggering amount of missing persons reports. It's happening in the corner of Mega City called the Highlands that are up in the Appalachian Mountains. The more recent victims were twenty years old or younger.... I've come out of retirement to try and find out who's killing these kids. The only way I know how to protect them is to gather them. Train them. And maybe together we can figure out who's trying to kill others like them. 

My name is John Blake, and I'm just a guy with a bow. For awhile the papers called me... Arrowcaster."[/b][/i][/color]

Blake is around 40 years old, is going gray, and will get hurt early on taking him out of the field for more of a mentor role. He'll be a frequent NPC. Somewhere in the middle of Oliver Queen on the Arrow tv series and Old Man Bruce from the Batman Beyond future. He'll train us in a former enemy's underground base of operations he shut down early on in his career.

Welcome to Mega City obviously takes certain cues from the Arrow tv series. However, aside from the mentor character being a Green Arrow knock-off and the time jumps that's about as far as the connection goes. Everyone's characters except for maybe one or two will need to be superhuman. During the course of the first arc we'll introduce our characters being approached by Arrowcaster, train with him at the HQ, fight a couple minor villains and stop day to day crime here and there, while also teasing the future one year later with the big bad in the occasional time jumps. From there sky's the limit. 

Essentially the RP is meant to be the best of two worlds. On one hand, we're RP'ing as rookie heroes with little to no training with Arrowcaster as our mentor. On the other hand, we also tease a darker future where we're facing off against the big bad as more seasoned heroes yet still getting our asses kicked in different ways. Eventually the stories will lead into one another and the time jumps will cease. I mainly just wanted everyone to be able to have their cake and eat it too. The darker future and plot will also make it easier to write out any drop-outs who could simply fall victim to the person or persons taking out superhumans.

Here’s the current approved character/player roster. Accepted players can repost their CS’s in the Character Tab. There’s still room for a couple more players to come into this, but you’re on your own digging up the iCheck and seeing what is and isn’t acceptable. 

Titan – [@Omega Man] - GM
Spectral – [@Shard] – Co-GM
Roach Boy – [@Duthguy]
Skillshot – [@NightmareInd]
Venus – [@baraquiel]
Fire Fist – [@Ryteb Pymeroce]
Paradox – [@Jareth]
Gargoyle - [@RedVII]

I’m working on making a few micros like the one in my current avatar for this RP. If anybody wants an avatar of their hero, just gimme a shout and let me know! Though I do tend to take some liberties with designs, I rarely disappoint. Trying to finish the opening post for the IC as well but I may pass out before much longer. 

ALSO! I’m gonna work up a rough idea of a map for the city so that everyone has an idea of where things are located, what sort of monuments exist in this fictional city, names of schools, etc. Since this is my only RP I’m going to devote all of my free time to this thing. 

Haven’t heard from a few of the accepted players in a few days, so be sure to check in and repost your CS’s sooner than later so I know you’re all still game!
