Edit for anyone looking at this; the OOC thread is posted and can be viewed here: https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/186904-rise-of-the-new-heroes/ooc

I want to write again and I thought of this little idea. You can read it below:

-----

You have super powers! Whether it’s the ability to fly, run really fast, or shoot lasers out of your eyes, you have an ability that sets you apart from the rest of humanity. You aren’t a big name hero, though, and you aren’t even some obscure expert with your powers. In fact, you’ve only had your powers for a week at the most.

This is a good thing.

If you had your powers any longer than that, you’d probably be dead.

You see, before you got your abilities, a deadly virus infected everyone with powers. The aptly named Supervirus caused heroes to die like flies while ordinary people were just fine. Some disappeared before their demise, but the result was the same; people with super powers were extinct! That is, until a week ago.

That was when the meteor struck. Despite nobody being injured, the news covered it extensively, happening in a local park in your hometown. And maybe it was just a coincidence, but soon after this happened, you gained your powers. And for some reason, you haven’t come down with the virus like the others. You’ve decided that you should do something positive with this new ability you have, but you’re not sure what yet.

Now it is an ordinary Friday night in your city. You hear the news; the Precious Metal Vault is being robbed! People have tried this before, but this was far from ordinary for a few reasons:

	One: this is the first time it happened since all the people with powers died, and
	Two: the group responsible is led by a well-known supervillain who [i]should be dead from the virus.[/i]

Wherever you are right now, this is when you decide you’ll help the city and stop the people responsible for this.

What you don’t know at the time is that this is just the beginning of a greater journey for you, one that will undoubtedly test your resolve and ability to work with other heroes to help stop a villainous plot.

Do you have what it takes to be a hero?

So to summarize the synopsis above, this roleplay is about a group of rookie super heroes who end up teaming up to stop an evil scheme. I don’t want to give away too much of the plot, but I do plan on this being more involved than just “stop the villain of the week.”  If this interests you, let me know, and if we have enough interest I can make an OOC thread. Also, let me know if you have any questions. I look forward to writing with you!
