Like I said though, you can't really do the 'special snowflake' hero RPs. But the one's that focus on many mutants and heroes flourish. Those are the one's I've seen happen on the guild constantly. As for Heroes and X-Men not counting? I think we might be having a miscommuncation now.When I think superhero RP I'm thinking anything that gives people special powers and abilities, but still was to be in modern society and it can't be something that the everyday person posses.But I assume you're thinking more directly "Man flys on cape and sends the evil scientist to Jail" sort of concept.And if we're defining superhero RPs that way then I have to agree, it is greatly uncommon compared to anime RPs.
If you read my very specific word choice, I say that it does not 'feel' like a superhero concept. It may fall under that classification, especially expansive elements of the latter, but it doesn't feel like it.
Superheroes suffer from Superman, who is 'thee' Superhero when you think of the genre. Only one person can be Superman.
When I see superhero mentioned, I'm not eager to jump in and participate. To reiterate as well, the scope of powers in superhero threads feels harder to define versus named techniques, which is also why I tend to shy away from the genre. I feel like the broad scope many people utilize as powers leaves too much interpretation.

Magic -
You aren't differentiating RP audience with general audience (partly because I didn't clarify that I was speaking about it in that way).
Seeing something also doesn't correlate to wanting to play in that universe. In a lot of the superhero universes, unless you go Heroes, X-Men, or Avenger's routes, only one person can be 'the Batman', 'the Superman', etc. That genre's prominent examples takes the special snowflake concept to an extreme where only a few people get to have any access to being special.
Sidebar: I've never felt that Heroes or X-Men feels like a 'superhero' concept, but more of an independently unique concept.
I brought up the broadness of Anime because that is what Yog was speaking about. That'd be like comparing a specific car manufacturer to an entire market of imported cars. It seems silly.
However, Bleach and Naruto work well as a roleplay concept (and are likely attractive) because there is a wider populace that has access to abilities, which is generally not something available in this comparison. You don't have worry about fighting about who gets to be 'the Batman' in it. I think it can be a lot easier to make a character that can fit into that universe and be what you want. From an entirely balance perspective, it can be a lot easier to refine the scope of power in the way that anime's divide up power into named techniques.
I would prefer we not make blanket judgments on which has more variety. I'm not going to really speak on it because it is entirely subjective, but I've seen some incredibly unique concepts in anime AUs.
EDIT: Pachamac very succinctly captured my point.

To reinforce Vanq's point...
I don't particularly find superheroes interesting. The only real concept of them I liked was the way Heroes did it.... Else I tend to find the genre uninteresting and the characters equally so.
It is all based on personal preference. The anime threads do well because there is a higher demand and audience for them. Anime is also very, very general, while superheroes as a genre is a bit more narrow and focused.

Greetings General Interest Check Viewership!
Currently I am running a thread called Natrelmon in the casual section of the forum. We are always, always looking for new players. We are just about to start a subplot in celebration of Halloween, so now is a great time to jump in.
Natrelmon is a mixed genre creature capture thread. All creatures and moves are original to the thread, as is the underlying lore. It is heavily fantasy based with blades and magic being the primary weapon. However, modern to slightly futuristic tech exists, but mostly in the areas of genetic science, human convenience, and communication/travel. Guns exist, but are highly regulated and only the police force has access to them.
There is a lot of material, but don't get overwhelmed. We will always guide players though it. We've been developing pieces of this for over 8 years, so there is a large amount of material that has built up over time.
Let me know if you have any questions! Either PM me, respond on here, or post on the OOC.

For the plot event...
Please continue to post outside of this timeline (if you desire) in addition to responding to this (ideally do posts leading up to that evening), as this event will be running over the course of the next few days. I will NOT be around on Halloween most likely, so this event will likely finish up in early November. It will introduce some characters that will make repeat appearances, so I advise participation in it - also there will be rewards.
I am placing the events of what was posted a couple days after the trainer's have begun to arrive in Toran, so everyone should have time to roleplay as many scenes as they want leading up to it.
DO, however, post in response to it. Just identify the timeline with something like 2spooky.

2spooky (Holiday Event Subplot)
The fading summer air had a restless hum to it, an ominous stirring of divergence from the change of seasons past. The subtlety had been lost on most, even the Toran natives. The nights had become progressively darker. Colder. Restless.
The Natrelmon could sense the impending chaos, at least the wild ones. Those with human companions often would miss the details, not out of a lack of senses, but out of a more focused concern for their trainers and not their own self preservation. The once active nights, when Xiao would occasionally skitter through the streets, chased by the few scarred Ocalia that had avoided capture were a remnant of weeks past - replaced by an restlessness with no living source. The natives were grateful for this, ignorant of what it truly brought. The streetlights that once battled with the darkness were now a part of a losing campaign, the unnaturally dark mist seemingly pulling all light into it and then into the nothingness of the Void. It was a foreshadowing of the chaos coming.
And, in all chaos there is calculation.
For those with access to television, the evening news would be dominated with reports of a brutal murder of a Toranese researcher that had been working with the Mage's Guild.
"At this moment we have no leads on the case or who was behind it. We have called in additional investigators and forensics teams from Lifan to assist on the case as we examine the scene and the body for evidence," a woman spoke, her presence and tone exuding authority. A few tried to interrupt her with questions, "I'm not going to answer questions this early in the investigation, but we will keep the people of Toran informed of any dangers posed to them. We believe right now that Dr. Alexi Imin was the target of the attack and that no one else is currently in danger."
With that, she stepped back from the podium placed outside the Toran Arena and a young, artificially blonde woman moved into the screen, the reporter from the local Toranese news agency with her prominent T1 News badge, "That was Officer Cat Koekje from Lifan who has been brought in on the murder of Dr. Alexi Imin. The Mage's Guild at this point has declined to comment on the nature of Dr. Imin's research in Toran, raising more questions around the already mysterious death. This is Janie Strom with Toran One News."
Cat was glad to be out of the limelight. Even though she'd be in this kind of position for, as the lead investigator for a number of the most prominent cases in Lifan, she still would have preferred to be back out following leads. She never felt that these appearances did anything to help the cases or the people.
"Koekje," another woman spoke, stepping out of the shadows cast by the Toran Arena. "Can we get a move on with this?"
Cat just narrowed her eyes, "Violet, you know how this goes, especially when we investigate outside Lifan. We have to be the face of the investigation."
Violet's grumble, and the crack of brick wall behind her, could be heard even at the distance between the two, "Couldn't they have sent someone else to do that part? It is a waste of our time."
Cat didn't need to response, Violet already knew her position, one that she had vocalized on many occasions. Violet just liked to get these sorts of things out of her system and Cat was willing to let her fiery partner do so.
"Here's your guns, I'm sick of holding them. They make me feel dirty," Violet growled, violently tossing the large rifle her way, stepping out beneath one of the few streelights providing any light, revealing her brilliantly pink hair. She was taller than Cat by a few inches, as well as having a bit more tone to her muscles. Her abnormally thick metal gloves were covered in various dials, with lines of intermittently crackling energy running up her arms, vanishing into the various body armor she adorned. She brushed the red dust off her hands from the crushed brick.
Cat merely nodded again, slinging her rifle onto her back and holstering her sidearm belt. "Lets get to work."
