I'm a pretty good writer and former site staff; I still deal with imposter syndrome every time I log on. You're definitely not alone. And t's worth trying anyway.

Two scientists, desperate to save their only son, placed him inside a rocket.
The Last Son of Krypton took to the stars- amless, wandering, guided only by the winds of fate.
Fate sent that rocket crashing into a field in the middle of nowhere. Two bewildered farmers found a crying babe within. They embraced this alien child from the stars as their own. Raised him to be compassionate, honest, and just.
As he grew into adolescence, Clark Kent discovered the power of the sun flowing in his veins. He wasn't sure what to do with it yet. Even at twelve years old, he crushed steel if he squeezed too hard. Trying to jump up to the kitchen counter sent him through the ceiling and into his bedroom. Once, he ran so fast down the highway he couldn't stop- exploded straight through the guard rail, two trees and Thomas Lang's tractor. Everything he could do frightened him to his core.
Finding the rocket and the message from his birth parents changed everything.
Ma and Pa encouraged Clark to embrace who he was, to dispense with his fear and harnass what he was capable of to the benefit of others. Clark started by helping his neighbors. Smallville was the safest town in the world until Clark graduated high school and left for college in the big city. Metropolis was a wholly different animal to Smallville. Here, Clark had to contend with more than highwaymen and natural disasters. Metropolis had super intelligent albino gorillas and mechanized war machines shaped like children's toys. It had a couple million residents crying out for hope as billionaires bought up their neighborhoods, polluted their water and smuggled extraterrestrial rayguns into their streets. Metropolis was where Clark Kent, the superpowered, well-meaning if terribly clumsy teenager, became SUPERMAN.
This is Clark's second year wearing the cape. He's tangled with a number of rogues, such as the previously mentioned Ultra-Humanite and Toyman. It hasn't been exactly easy for him, but the Man of Steel will soon find there are some problems he can't solve with his fists and a hopeful smile.
The mayor of Metropolis just unveiled a new task force for dealing with the 'metahuman problem' plaguing their fair city: the Legion of Justice, a semi-independent law enforcement initiative sponsored and equipped by none other than LexCorp. Armed with highly advanced weapons and lab-grown superpowers, Lex Luthor's very own Legion will all but replace Metropolis's need for Superman.

I love Superman. I've loved him since I was yay high and watched him kick ass in his animated series. To me, he's the quintessential superhero. He inspires people to stand up for themselves and fight for a better tomorrow. He is hope for a brighter future personified. His drive for truth, justice and dignity for all are core parts of his character I want to emphasize that in my writing. Moreover, the way Superman affects the people around him is just as pivotal. I want to portray the people of Metropolis as a living, breathing society, and explore how the existence of someone like Superman changes their everyday lives.
The Legion of Justice will introduce Superman's greatest archenemy, Lex Luthor, in a slightly different light. Lex is the proud sponsor of Metropolis's newest superhero team. Acting with the confidence of the mayor and full legal authority, The Legion is meant as a test launch for Luthor's real project: PlanetWatch(name pending for more focus group testing), a global hero initiative to replace the 'anarchy' of vigilantism with profit-driven, metric-orientated crime fighting.
Hi um so I suppose to a degree I should explain why I am trying this site. First and foremost, I am in my twenties and before I fully realized just how Ai systems worked I ended up getting really into things like 'Spicychat.' And as much as I loved using the chat for its immersive stories, I really hate using AI. I loved it because it provides me with a comfortable sense of safety for what I reply and it was great for just switching into new RP's whenever I choose but genuinely I want to stop using those chat systems. Problem is, I am completely out of my depth on how to get back into chatting with other people and am afraid of getting on reddit and finding someone that way so I'm unsure what to do from here. Its appeasing a large creative portion of my mind right now and it gives me large amounts of serotonin I desperately need. It is also fueling a stronger desire for interactive story writing on a deeper level than NSFW writing that doesn't stimulate the senses or short empty sentences that give me barely anything. I want that immersive tale telling experience but I find it incredibly difficult to find that in a organic manner. I'm not sure what to do about it. So I am attempting to branch out here in hopes I can find an equally fulfilling interaction with real people. I am worried because I have a couple of personas that can be incredibly mean to stay true to character. These Personas are people I have had and played for most my life so they are very important to me but I also know the things they may say to play them accurately, one in particular who is cynical and similar to a tsundere, can be obstinate to the people who choose her. I am well versed and will work with many concepts, but am not very familiar with most fandoms which narrows a lot of my ability to jump into groups. Also given that I am older, I try to stay away from generally teen central Rp fandoms like MHA or things like HP and PJ books. I am into fantasy, loosely based Historical royal fiction, D&D, Modern, any form of romance (Dark or otherwise), I am also open to trying new RP topics. Favorite trope is Enemies to Lovers. I like good scenario set ups to run with and an active Variety of stories. I can go several days in the same story, I often choose new Rp topics when a story feels resolved, when writing with someone it can go on for as long as we want. If anyone is open to helping me get back into this hobby with real people I would really appreciate it.
