You just got off the phone and have accepted a new job! Starting soon, you will be a superhero for the Lafayette City division of the League of Good, helping to bring evildoers to justice. Maybe you've lived here all your life and are excited about defending your hometown, maybe you transferred here for this job or perhaps you went to college here and wound up getting recommended to the League by your superhero internship program. Whatever the case, this will be a great opportunity!

Like the blurb above indicates, this is a superhero RP. I've been rereading an old one I was involved in and it made me want to write in that genre again, so here I am. To expand on it a bit, you will be on a team fighting crime - pretty typical stuff so far. I thought to make things interesting, we could take turns creating villains for the team to fight - a rotating GM sort of thing. I could create a larger plot within these battles, but I have nothing in mind yet beyond the initial battle, so input from my fellow writers would be cool. I figure this would be a cool way to create some fun fights, and if people end up having to leave the RP it won't derail it entirely. Or if nobody wants to write for the bad guys, I can just be a more conventional GM. Whatever works!
For powers, I'd say somewhere "middle of the road" in terms of "power level" - strong enough to let people do what they want creatively, not so strong that there aren't stakes entirely, yet not so weak they get overpowered entirely. These should be heroes that are accepted into a crimefighting organization, after all!
Let me know what you think, please - I don't have all the details of course, but am curious if anyone would be interested in this sort of thing. Thanks!
