Santa Celia: Coast to Coast

R U L E S & R E G U L A T I O N S:

1. - I will try to work with any writer I can to ensure that you can create a character you truly want to portray and will enjoy playing in the IC. That said if I ask you to rework something, please do not just 'ghost' me. I am not a tyrant and am open to discussion within reason, together we can likely hash out a compromise. In terms of power levels for this RP, we're looking at something akin to 'strong street-level', for a comparable media look at Marvel's Netflix Series or the majority of characters from the tv series, Heroes. Our characters, while competent and powerful should still be able to be overwhelmed by regular humans.

2. - Please use the provided character sheet but feel free to modify the sheet's colors to suit your needs or your character's theme. Additionally, minor modifications may be made to the placement of the sheet's categories or their contents, however, please do not disregard the character sheet or submit one of your own design. I'd also appreciate it if only completed sheets were posted in the OOC. If you need feedback on an incomplete CS, I would prefer a private message or DM on Discord.

3. - Post when you can, don't make excuses for when you can't. I'd like us to have an open and honest line of communication as Player and GM and if you're not posting because you don't feel like it, I'd rather you tell me that than say you're 'busy' and keep me in anticipation of a post. I'll be keeping in touch and checking in weekly to touch base with anyone who hasn't posted but please be honest with me on the 'why'.

4. - Don't mistake actions and hostilities in the IC as OOC interactions. Drama, rivalry and resentment will happen in a well written IC due to differing character ideologies. This does not mean the writer has any personal beef with you merely that they're developing their character in the same way you are.

5. - The IC will contain mature themes but will not violate any of the Guild's fundamental rules. Therefore while mature language, drug use, and violence are all tolerated, sexually explicit scenes will not be. Writing substance such as 'Smut' is not tolerated in public forum and has no place in the IC.

A large metropolitan center, the city of Santa Celia is found on the Western Coast of the United States of America in the state of California. Spanning a long history, Santa Celia is a diverse city and home to numerous ethnicities and cultures. The city spans over a large area, consisting of the major city of Santa Celia and a smaller rural community known as the Árido Valley. Árido Valley lies two miles to the East of the main city and is home to Tlaloc Falls, one of the largest natural waterfalls in the world.

Two rivers run off these falls, the first of which is the Dorado Rapids which runs along the Southern edge of a small community known as Paraíso El Agua or simply Paradise on the Water. The rapids flow west, past the small community where they empty into the Pacific Ocean. Paradise on the Water is Santa Celia’s southernmost and richest district while the second river, the Del Vida River divides the Árido Valley from the city and continues to flow due South.

This span is crossed by a giant suspension bridge known as the Rook Bridge due to the giant turrets which rise up on either side of it. It's an impressive sight even to those who live in Santa Celia and has been featured in many Hollywood blockbusters. The city's architecture ranges from Colonial influenced Baroque to neighborhoods filled with Victorian and Edwardian styled homes to a modern downtown filled with buildings that are modeled on futuristic styles that wouldn’t look out of place in a science fiction film.

The city’s crime rates have been low in the past but have been on a steady increase over the last five years. Santa Celia has a Mediterranean climate that is sometimes classified, owing to its high rainfall, as an oceanic climate. It is one of the wettest places in California: the annual rainfall is 67 in (1,700 mm). The wettest months are from October to March; the wettest month is December with 11 inches (280 mm) and the driest month is July with less than 0.5 in (13 mm). The average high and low temperatures in January are 54 °F (12 °C) and 41 °F (5 °C). The average high and low temperatures in August are 66 °F (19 °C) and 51 °F (11 °C). The average number of days below 32 °F (0 °C) is 15 days. The highest temperature recorded in Santa Celia was 93 °F (34 °C), observed on 24 September 1964, 1 June 1970, and 10 October 1991. The lowest temperature on record was 19 °F (−7 °C) on 21 December 1990. The maximum monthly precipitation was 31.25 inches (794 mm) in November 1973. The maximum 24-hour precipitation was 7.73 inches (196 mm) on 9 January 1995. The highest snowfall recorded for any period in 24 hours was 6.0 inches (15 cm) occurring on 6 January 1972.

Additionally, the topography of the sea floor surrounding Santa Celia has the effect of focusing tsunamis. According to researchers at Humboldt State University and the University of Southern California, the city experienced tsunami conditions 31 times between the years 1933 and 2008. Although many of these incidents were barely perceptible, eleven events included wave measurements exceeding one meter, four events caused damage, and one event in particular is commonly cited as "the largest and most destructive recorded tsunami to ever strike the United States Pacific Coast.

I'm looking for a couple of dedicated, self-motivated, assertive roleplayers who are not only happy following the plots that I lay but also contributing to the RP and world as a whole. Compared to some of my other RPs, I've left the source and designation of character powers wide open for your own preferences. If you have any questions, comments or concerns, please feel free to voice them below or contact me on the RP's Discord.

^{Other Roleplays presented by Lord Wraith...}

None at this time.

Santa Celia: A Superhuman Vigilante RP

@Lord Wraith I had a few questions about the game's setting.

What time of year or what month will the game be starting?

Does Santa Celia have an airport?

Does Santa Celia contain at least one college?

Are the Tlaloc Falls a part of a national, state, or city park?

@NinaDivine

First answer is likely the same time as the present as I have nothing else specific in mind.

Yes Santa Celia has an airport and yes, I would say it has at least two or three post-secondary institutions.

As for the Falls, it would likely make sense for them to be at least a part of a State Park.

Santa Celia: A Superhuman Vigilante RP

<Snipped quote by Lord Wraith>

Yeah.

Fun times avoided.

@NinaDivine

Though not really as at the beginning she'll be untrained and unaware of what exactly is happening to her due to be 'Activated' but never having had someone to tell her who or what she was.

Santa Celia: A Superhuman Vigilante RP

@NinaDivine well that's a relief because Ellara would have tried to kill her.

Santa Celia: A Superhuman Vigilante RP

First time back in a while. Very interested. Any guidelines on the power level we should be shooting for?

@JunkMail

That's a bit hard to say, in the Discord earlier, I gave an upper limit for super strength as lifting a car above one's head if that helps. If you're familiar with the Marvel's Netflix offerings, I would say Luke Cage is sort pushing the maximum tier but it's hard to put down a consistent cap across the board due in part to the way different powers and abilities work.

Santa Celia: A Superhuman Vigilante RP

I've got three ideas. Not sure which I'll go with, and may depend on seeing a few other CS's before I make a decision.

1) My first idea involves a (mostly) reformed villain with an origin somewhat similar to Captain America with antagonists that could include heroes and villains... and possibly zombie Nazis.

2) Second idea is more of a supernatural type character. Waiting to see what @Lord Wraith is doing with his at the moment.

3) Third would be a more classic type teen hero greatly inspired by Spider-Man.

@NinaDivine

My WIP should provide a fairly solid idea of what I'm doing.

Santa Celia: A Superhuman Vigilante RP

@All Interested Parties: The OOC will come as soon as I finish my character sheet. I don't want to launch the OOC without having my sheet done to point to as an example for those that need one.

Santa Celia: A Superhuman Vigilante RP

I mean specifically because it was too long for an interest check. I'm very careful about posting in the right places. Ever since the... event...

@chukklehed

Too long for an interest check?

What even?

Santa Celia: A Superhuman Vigilante RP

I feel singled out then... last time I did an interview check I got told it needed to be moved...

@chukklehed

Sounds like you posted it in the wrong section then.
