Greetings! Here I am, typing in this boring night to present you an idea that sprouted in my mind: a roleplay settled in the One-Punch-Man universe filled with heroes and monsters that pop out of nothingness. The overall plot would be that our characters form a group, similar to the Blizzard Group, aspiring to become S-Ranked heroes. That's it. We would defeat monsters, face adversary heroes, all this sort of stuff. The coolest thing is the openmindedness in the One-Punch-Man universe would also be found here! You can be any type of hero, folks. You can be a crime-fighting cacti. You can be a crime-fighting steampunk dog. You can be a crime-fighting cyborg. YOU CAN BE WHATEVER THE HELL YOU WANT.
More specific details, overall plot, etcetera; well, these are yet to be resolved (I'm sleepy, ay) but I'm thinking about leaving a simple, wide and - most importantly - fun roleplay.
If you're thinking, "Meh. I don't want roleplay a freaking anime, bro", don't think about roleplaying it as an anime; instead, think about a regular superhero roleplay.
FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT KNOW ONE PUNCH MAN AND ARE INTERESTED, well go watch the anime fools! FEAR NOT! I will give a brief explanation of the important aspects from the anime that would be used throughout the (planned) roleplay:
- HEROES ORGANIZATION: Mhm hmm. This anime has a hero organization which registers every single hero. It is called Hero Association. It is a corporation that organizes the surveillance and intelligence of all cities in Japan, from A to Z, against threats.
- RANKING: Heroes are ranked into four tiers: C, B, A and S ranks; C being the lower and S the higher. In order to rise from a rank to another, you must be the first positioned in your respective tier.
- MONSTERS: A great variety of monsters tend to appear out of sheer inexistence solemnly to cause havoc. They seldom have a backstory, or a plot (as they tend to be killed in four, five minutes). Therefore, monsters in this roleplay would come of two types - those which are weak and can be controlled by a fellow roleplayer (like the crabman from ep1) or stronger foes, which requires, somewhat, a plot (like the Sea People from eps 8-9).
- THREAT CLASSIFICATION: Needless to say, a monster is a threat. The Heroes Organization classifies into five (four in the anime): Wolf (presents threat to few individuals), Tiger (presents threat to many individuals), Demon (presents threat to a whole city), Dragon (presents threat to more than one city) and God (whole humanity shall bite the dust).
- HEROES: Our characters would begin weak. By weak I don't mean puny, fragile, and so forth. I mean unexperienced, undisciplined. We have amazing potential, but we can't use it quite terrifically currently. Or perhaps we don't, that's up to you. The point is: as a beginner hero, our characters are weak. HOWEVER, our characters (heroes) can be of whatever type your twisted mind desires. Seriously, after Puri-Puri Prisoner I'm accepting ANY TYPE OF HERO AT ALL. (as long it fits in the rules)
- SETTING: You live in a city, from A-Z. You're a regular human who wants applied to become a hero. Based on your abilities, you have a hero name. You are appointed to do stuff, like fighting monsters. You rank up on the hero rank. Then you get home and work. Then you fight monsters again. Yeah. Sounds fun, right? That's just the basics. I didn't get into any... detail... at all. (the details makes everything more clear, ay?)

I have a character sheet template, which one again, is open to suggestions of improvement.
Name:
Age:
Personality:
Appearance:
Biography:
Mid-Period or Full-Time Hero: (has a job or not)
Hero Name:
Abilities: (boy, I really will have to explain non-knowers-of-OPM how abilities works)
Rank (in the C-tier): (From 390 to 300)
Hero Appearance (if is different from regular appearance):
VOILA! Should this get some love I will began building the prototypes of the actual roleplay.
Forgive any mispelling, grammar mistake, typo, redundancy, or poor vocabulary. Sleepiness is mudering me.
If you are interested or has suggestions (whether or not they are good) or questions (again, whether or not they are good) feel free to question.
