Everyone loves a good superhero story: the action, the drama, the incredible feats! When evil enters the playing field, our heroes are quick to take a stand. That's what the public sees. But what goes on behind the scenes?

Heroes used to be a freerange affair, back in the old glory days. They fought who they wanted to fight, when they wanted to fight them. These days, vigilante justice is seen as just too much of a risk. Unregistered heroes are now arrested and given a choice: attend New Horizon Academy for Superhuman Individuals, or be destroyed. When a new hero manifests powers, they are required to register and attend the Academy immediately, or be apprehended.

Ever since the rise of the Academy, destruction caused by superhero incidents has fallen. No longer does the public have to fear being caught in the crossfire of a battle between these super charged individuals. Supervillains have dwindled, and the public loves their heroes more than ever. Comics, action figures, and movies are all being produced in their likeliness, all under the keen eye of New Horizon.

Once these heroes graduate the Academy, they take up residence at the Tower: the largest gathering of heroes under one roof. Here, they eat, sleep, and live together, awaiting their next mission. Missions are doled out by New Horizon, following a algorithm that combines powers, skills, and experience to create the perfect team ups for the job. The heroes? Well, they have no say in the matter.

In fact, these people that the public sees as gods among men are little more than slaves. They have no choice but to work for New Horizon. Refusal to cooperate ends in destruction. Rebellion is squashed. Those who pose a risk to New Horizon are fitted with control bracelets that dampen the hero's powers until they are needed. Some of the more threatening flight risks are given implants are the base of their neck that, in the event they turn on their keepers, will immediately destroy them. While the Tower may be a prison lined with gold, it is still very much a prison.

I'm putting this up to see if there would be enough interest in this plot to make the whole rp. I'd like to have at least eight people who are seriously interested before I make the thread.

No, I don't even know what movie you're talking about. People comparing my writing to unrelated pre-existing media also happens to be a huge pet peeve of mine ._.

But anyways, New Horizon probs won't kill your hero just because they are obnoxious. They have something to gain by the heroes being alive, hence why they don't just kill vigilantes right off the bat. The heroes will have free range within the Tower and, as long as they aren't conspiring to turn on New Horizon, are treated decently well.

Sorry, I need to use things as a base of reference lest I get the exact theme someone is going for wrong, and that leads to alot of clarification. Some people tend to be sticklers. I know I am.

Uhhhhhh.... Hmm, could a character that is so naive actually not care about the conditions? For instance, being a hero for fame and glory being their motivation, it takes other characters to convince them that something is wrong. Would that work?

Absolutely. I imagine there'd be a few who like the free food and fancy living space.

I could use a character I've tried several times to find an RP for

Her abilities are less combat and more investigation

I have a character pre-made for another superhero RP which never took off. Though, she was more the vigilante type and would probably have a shock collar on her, for safety reasons. Former-terrorist turned-hero type of deal.
That cool? :D
