Dead cruiser, Gowi and Ded pretty much summed up my feelings on this as well. This game has been active since 2007ish, I dont think you have to worry about a powerset ruining this game.

I like this idea, and the execution seems well thought-out. I'll make a CS within a few hours and post it here, hopefully it'll be up to standard (I've only played Casual RPs before).

Glad to hear. I'm sure you'll be fine. Looking forward to seeing what you've got.

Got the roster updated. Having a little trouble with a couple of the links, but that may be something to do with the site. I'm not entirely sure

“So, what do you think?” Eric asked, wearing his trademark lopsided grin.

“About what?” Scott asked.

“About what?” Eric repeated, incredulously. “About this!” He continued, motioning around the spacious, yet utterly decrepit space that he has assured Scott was the perfect location for their club.

To say that the place was a mess was an understatement. The interior looked as if it had been completely gutted. There were exposed wires in the walls. Ceiling tiles were missing, the walls that were finished had cracked plaster, and one of the support beams looked like it would need to be repaired, if not replaced completely.

“It’s a bit of a fixer upper, I know. But this is a magnificent location and well worth the money.” Mr. Stanley, the rotund, balding landlord chimed in.

“I don’t know…”Scott said, trailing off.

“Scott, we can fix this place up, no problem. I know a guy, he can get a crew in and have this place looking brand new in a couple of days. Besides, you saw the apartment upstairs, it’s perfect for you.” Eric argued.

He was right, the apartment was ideal for Scott. It had a private entrance, roof access and a large set of roof windows, roughly the size of a bay window near the back of the apartment facing the ally behind the club, which would allow Scott an easy exit should he need to get somewhere in a hurry.

“You’re sure?” Scott asked Eric, who simply nodded that he was.

“Alright, let’s do it.” Scott said, almost reluctantly.

“Great! Mr. Stanley said, “Why don’t you boys follow me to my office and we can just sign the lease and get you the keys.”

Scott silently followed Eric to the car, still unsure about the building. Though, he had to admit, it was a great location and with a bit of work, they could turn the place into one of the hottest clubs in the city.

“When are you going to call him?” Scott asked as they got into the car and closed the doors.

“Who?” Eric asked.

“You’re guy. The one who you said will help fix the place up.” Scott said, to which eric softly chuckled.

“You’re the guy.”

“What?” Scott asked, incredulously.

“Come on,” Eric began, still chuckling. “You do that…super thing and you’ll have the place fixed up and ready to open in two minutes.”

“Unbelievable.” Scott said as Eric pulled away from the curb, following Mr. Stanley into traffic on the way to his office.

Yes Tearstone, I'd love to have you back. All are welcome.

Dedonus, thank you. I was actually about to do that myself.

Scott Hunter sat comfortably in his seat, staring out the window watching the towns and cities blur past as the train he was on rushed toward its destination. The skyline of Lost Haven loomed ahead, and as Scott eyed the city, a number of things began running through his mind.

He was both nervous and excited to start a new chapter of his life in Lost Haven. When he left home almost two years before, he was looking for an escape. He wanted to get away from his past. He was running from not only who he was, but from the guilt that he felt for his brother’s death. Without saying anything to his family, he had left his family behind. Fueled by the guilt he felt over his brother’s death, as well as the guilt he was now feeling for leaving his family behind without saying a word, he left the confines of the family homestead and made his way to sunny Southern California where he hoped to put his past behind him.

While he was on the road en route to his new life, he had tried to live as normal a life as possible, however, he found that such a simple task was not easily achieved. Between the time that he left his family home to the time he arrived in California he had been forced to use his abilities several times. He stopped a runaway bus from crashing into a tour group in Buffalo. Then in Cleveland he had prevented utility worker from falling to his death. In Minneapolis, he had saved a young couple who had lost control of their car on a frozen roadway. Each time head had seemed to suddenly appear, make the save and then just as mysteriously he would vanish.

It happened seemingly everywhere he went. Even when he arrived in California, he found himself using his abilities time after time, even though he was trying to deny who he was. However, the task had proven to be too great, even for him.

One day, after having saved a young woman who had gotten caught in an undertow off of Sunset Beach, Scott finally could no longer take it, and called home. Much to his surprise, his mother hadn’t been angry. She was relieved to hear from him. They talked for hours, and he found himself unloading nearly two years worth of guilt with a single phone call. Several days later, he decided to return home.

However, he knew that he would not be able to go back to the life that he had lived at home. He needed to live where he could do the most good, which is what caused him to decide on Lost Haven as his new home. However, he knew that living in Lost Haven would provide a new set of problems. He knew that he would no longer be able to be a mysterious Samaritan, doing random acts of good deeds. Lost Haven was too big of a city, and it would not be long before people would find out about him. He knew that for him to do what he needed to do, he would have to go public with his abilities. After a phone call to his childhood friend Eric Dean, he set about creating his disguise.

It was a longer process than he had expected. He had had a number of ideas as to what his disguise would consist of, however, once he had put pen to paper and began working on designs, nothing seemed to look right. He tried a number of different looks. Some had full head masks, some with capes, and others without. Nothing seemed to feel right to him, until he finally came up with a design that he felt was perfect. Once he finalized the design, he set about creating it. Once the costume was completed, he began tying up loose ends in California and bought a bus ticket so that he could begin his return home.

The city loomed larger as the train began to slow as it neared its destination. Scott continued to watch out the window as train came to a stop. He looked out and saw the people gathered on the ramp waiting to board the train, as well as others who were frantically going about their business.

“Lost Haven Central Station!” The attendant called from the front of the passenger car. Within moments, the car was alive with activity as the other passengers began gathering their bags. Scott stood and went to the small overhead compartment and removed his bag. He slung the oversized backpack over his shoulder and joined the other passengers in line as they waited to disembark.

As Scott made his way away from the train, he peered around, looking for Eric, who was supposed to meet him at the train. He made it a dozen or so feet before he saw Eric, who was standing at the end of the ramp wearing his trademarked grin. As Scott made his way to Eric, his friend moved forward to meet him.

“Geez man, it’s good to see you.” Eric said as he caught him off guard with a big hug. “It’s only been what? Two years?” he continued.

“Yeah, something like that.” Scott said as he pulled away. He looked at Eric, who hadn’t changed a bit in the time that Scott had been away, and he know that was a good thing.

Eric had been Scott’s oldest friend. When they were young, Eric lived two houses down from Scott, and the two were inseparable. As children grow older and experience new things, high school, girls, sports…they sometimes tend to grow apart. This was not the case with Scott and Eric. In fact, the two only grew closer, in part to Eric’s knowledge of Scott’s “gifts.” Almost from the first time Scott’s abilities began to manifest, Eric had protected his friend’s secret. This made it all the more difficult for Scott when he had decided to leave town. He no longer had the support that his best friend provided. He no longer had anyone he could really talk to.

However, as far as both Scott and Eric were concerned, Scott’s time away was in the past, and would stay there. Besides, they would be too busy to worry about things that they couldn’t change.

“So, are you ready?” Eric asked out of the blue.

“Ready for what?” Scott replied, not entirely sure what his friend was talking about.

“To see the space I mentioned. I think it’ll be perfect, it just needs alittle work.”

“I’d love to, but I need to find a place to stay first.” Scott said, hesitantly.

“Already taken care of.” Eric said simply.

“What do you mean?” Scott asked.

“The space has an apartment on the second floor, perfect for what you need. It’s just going to take a little fixing up. You can stay with me until its ready.” Eric told him flatly.

“Alright then...” Scott started, “Let’s go check it out.” He finished as the two friends made their way toward the exit.

Sample Post (Minimum Four paragraphs containing dialogue):

Kyle Porter sits up in his hospital bed as the nurse enters his room and takes a few last minute readings before the hospital can send him on his way. He is anxious to get out of the room that has been his home for the last week. He has never particularly liked hospitals, and after spending a week there, he is in no rush to come back anytime soon.

There was a knock on the door and suddenly he saw the familiar features of Samantha Myers pop into the room. His oldest friend looked around for a moment before entering.

"Just wanted to make sure you're decent." She quipped as she approached his bed.

"Yeah. I'm good to go. Just waiting to get the OK from the doctors." He said.

Sam took a seat beside the bed as Kyle packed the few possessions that he had in the hospital room into a small plastic bag. After several long minutes, the nurse came in and told him that the last tests came back clear and that he was free to go.

"Awesome. Let's head down to the lobby and wait for my dad." He said cheerily.

"Um...your dad can't make it. He had to fly out to Pacific Point last night for business. He asked me to come get you." She said, somewhat apologetically.

"So...you're my ride?" He asked.

"You're quick, aren't you?" She said with a grin.

"Oh great...first the crash and now this....Somebody really wants me dead." He joked even as she smacked him on the arm as they made their way down the hall.
