This might be a shot in the dark but I've honestly been craving a superhero roleplay with people who have some drawing abilities for their ocs and items (even if bad) cause I do enjoy some roleplaying with visuals.
It would be set in a world where heroics are a profession, but there are no actual "superpowers" like fire bending or mind control.
Instead there is a super soldier drug that was created for military's purposes, but was leaked and released to the general public and eventually began to be sold by corporations for profit. The drug gives an individual some enhancements derived from Canine DNA, and therefore is dubbed "Lupine".
Those who are injected with Lupine may either suffer severe Side effects and die, or be compatible with the "virus" that will merge with ones cells. Those who survive it, gain powers such as enhanced durability, endurance, strength, and senses that include being able to track others by smell, hear and see from increase distance, and gain compass sense. Some but not all gain abilities such as echo-location or somatic-sense (being able to sense those around you when barefoot for example.)
Lupine doesn't change one's actual physiology and is only an enhancement. The thing about Lupine is that for most it eventually wears away until it's effects fade away entirely. Taking more Lupine after it faded away is almost guaranteed to kill. There are those, however, whom Lupine does not fade away at all for.
The use of Lupine has become an epidemic that caused a large societal collapse with super civilians wreaking havoc. Eventually what remained of the government, decided to legalize and regulate the use of Lupine in an attempt to regain whatever control they could. This was in the form of contracts and superheroes for hire. People would begin accepting jobs that would require them to be on Lupine in order to complete, which will earn them a large sum of money - and since many can only take Lupine once, it was an option to resort to when they're really desperate for money.
The regulation of Lupine came with the introduction of Masked Vigilantes. In order to keep Lupine out of the shadows, while keeping the identity of subjects hidden (no one should know you used up your 1 time of Lupine, so that no one comes after you when it fades away. This is under a protection clause.) Vigilantes or Heroes are required to wear a mask to conceal their identity.
There are those cases, however, of individual whom Lupine does not fade away in. They're the ones who are usually hunted down to be registered and forced to work as superheroes full time. They're given full superhero names and superhero costumes (tights and capes and designed masks and all of that). Although allowed to live their own civilian lives without the masks, they're ultimately forced to live a double life on call. The full time heroes are usually assigned to a police force, or a large corporation. Many go to the military. Whatever the case is, they're given the license to operate separate from law enforcement. They're given the license to kill. An insulting term for these that many began to use is "Dog", as they're kept on tight leashes and follow commands.
What distinguishes between these heroes since theyre enhancements are generally the same, is the equipment and weapons that they are given. Some use swords, some use their fists, some have to be in action while barefoot to use somatic senses, some use guns, or a special weapon that is designed entirely for them (rwby style).
I'm just looking for a small group who would want to roleplay that world as "superheroes" who are forced to work together because of a certain crisis, that leads them to wanting to bring down a corporation that uses "dogs" for intimidation and political power over the world. It would be cool if we could all draw our own ocs and weapons for visuals.
I can make a much nicer and formatted post explaining different elements if there's interest. I've just been thinking about this idea for a while and craving some people to roleplay in it.
