@Auragreedia that's cool, depending on when you apply I'd maybe have to wait for a story arc to end before you can write IC, but the structure of the narrative should lend itself to new people joining the RP at any point.
<Snipped quote by Zapdos> Yeah, pretty much. The more you ragebait her the more vulnerable she becomes.
That's an interesting angle, I just wouldn't want it to mean that every villain would have to taunt her for it to be of use (not that I expect it to be uniform), since that would limit writing possibilities. I think if she can be damaged outside of her "ragebaited status" it should be fine (e.g. increased endurance compared to a normal human but not invincible), so go ahead and post the CS in the characters tab.
@Scarifar I'm sure you'll think of something. Folks here have been very creative so far! It surprises me how much interest this RP has had, actually.
From the cast we have so far I find it funny that in public they're a clean, shining almost "To Be Hero X" esque superhero group. And then take the costumes off and are a bunch of awkward losers. Textbook "former gifted kid syndrome" across the board
Lots of characterization to explore there, I'd imagine. I might have a character be a part of the group, depending on how things play out. I'll avoid spoilers, though I will say there will be a little contrast in backgrounds here. Should be interesting!
@Redking0380 I appreciate you making those edits! To clarify, the weakness blurb means that if she gets too unfocused, she becomes weaker? It could just be me, but I found the phrasing to be confusing.
Yet one must always be wary, for the dragon is not infallible. Greed, rage, arrogance, all are marks of a dragon and those who fall too deep shall find that their ironclad scales are not impenetrable. After all, it is a story told a thousandfold of the great beast who slept in piles of gold and found their armor turned as soft as that metal, waiting for a single arrow or spear to peirce through and inevitably find their heart.
@Tally Dor I hate to say it because I can tell you've put a lot of work into the CSes, but I have to reject them. I'd rather have one PC per player to make things easier to manage and so that the team as a whole can shine equally. I've never had this come up before, so I apologize for not saying something about it. Beyond that the mech suit and light abilities are too similar to other player's characters to my tastes, and they seem like more powerful variants (especially the mecha suit) of these abilities to boot.
@Azure Bubbles duly noted, I'll brainstorm on that one haha
@Silver Carrot very clever power! Not one I would have thought of. So Madison fights hand to hand with her wire powers and equipment supplementing it, is that right? I could definitely see room to grow, given that they can't be manipulated yet. And after thinking about it, since the enemies will likely be villains that will be strong enough to impact steel wire, I don't consider this OP.
I like her backstory also. Your character is approved! I can tell you put a lot of thought into her.
@Redking0380 I like the CS! Very fun concept, and married PCs are rare in my experience so that presents some opportunities for different writing. The one thing I would add is a weakness to the powers, since right now it appears she has super strength, speed and control of fire without any drawbacks. I'd also remove the super speed bit, to give her room for growth.
@Azure Bubbles I like the CS, it is approved! Please put it in the Characters tab.
@Tally Dor take your time and think of a good concept! I probably won't start until January 2nd, unless everyone is so excited that I must start sooner lol
@Silver Carrot interesting, there could be some fun character interactions between your PC and Julian.
Well, I didn't realize that I forgot to exclude my note to self from the OOC post until now, so if anyone saw that please don't spoil it for everyone else! I really feel sheepish now, I apologize for the spoilers, and if you saw them I hope this is still a fun experience for you all the same.
@Byte there is space! A support role is a good idea, but given the nature of the fights will likely be geared towards combat in some way given the shared GM aspect of the story, I don't think the "guy in the chair" type character would be a good fit. You just wouldn't have enough to do to make it a fun experience. That said, eidetic memory and parsing data could still work, if paired with skills that might be more suitable for a role grouped with everyone else, even if your PC isn't the one throwing all the punches. I can't think of anything relevant right now, but if you'd like to brainstorm, feel free to post here or send a PM.
My potential PC will probably be more of a support character, or perhaps a hybrid of a support and front liner, so it is definitely possible!
After finishing a great conversation with HR on the phone, it hits you: something big has happened! You were talking to and have accepted a superhero job with the Lafayette City branch of the League of Good, and have just confirmed your first day of work. Soon, you will help defend the city - and maybe the world - from the threats of various evildoers, from common thieves to conniving supervillains.
This is a big step in your life. In addition to getting paid to help people, you will have no-cost health insurance, a pension plan, and so on. The League is run by heroes, so they understand that a job requiring as much sacrifice as this should have some benefits as well. Basically, if you do your work honestly, the League is prepared to take care of you. You will be expected to do your work well also, but that is implied; after all, the League does not hire newbies for their positions. Only people with proven abilities and strength are accepted into the League, for the safety of their coworkers and the safety of the people they protect.
You know this won’t always be smooth sailing. You could even die. But you have a chance to make the world a better place, and it’s one you’ll be taking.

So, the gist of the plot is that your PCs (player characters, not computers :P) will be superheroes who have just joined the Lafayette City branch of the League of Good, a global organization dedicated to fighting crime. You will go on various missions, such as fighting villains, in order to keep the city safe. Whether you are from this Midwestern city or are just moving here, you will be part of a team (all the PCs) that will be fighting crime. The motivation can vary; wanting to do good, job security, etc. - this could be something to explore for your character, if you’d like.
The thing that might be different about this versus other RPs is my idea that we could take turns creating villains for the team to fight - a rotating GM sort of thing. I might create a larger plot within these battles, but I have nothing in mind yet beyond the initial battle, so input from my fellow writers would be cool. I figure this would be a cool way to create some fun fights, and if people end up having to leave the RP it won't derail it entirely. I will GM the RP as a whole, but when specific villain battles occur, the person who conceptualized that evildoer will GM that fight in coordination with myself. They would be in control of the bad guy and their hero character; in advance of the battle, I would coordinate with them on ideas they had for the fight and so on. If you’re interested in GMing a villain, please PM me and we can discuss it. Or if you have ideas for a larger story piece beyond a single battle, I’d be glad to discuss that also. I don’t have a formal “application” process in mind for this beyond discussing it
I imagined Lafayette City as a Midwestern US city to give some identity to it, but I’ve kept the setting somewhat loose so far so that people can add their ideas as needed - please share any thoughts you may have! Collaboration makes the process more fun.
Additionally, in order to provide a fun writing environment, some rules are below. They’re mainly common sense, though I doubt it’ll hurt to have them around:
1) Usual RP writing rules apply. Don't control other characters without permission, don't be a jerk, use proper spelling and grammar, etc.
2) I reserve the right to refuse entry and kick out anyone from this RP for any reason. Of course, I don't want to do this just for laughs, I just want to be able to ensure a great experience for everyone.
3) If you have an issue with another player or me, please talk it out with them privately or PM me about it. Nobody likes being publicly called out. In my case, I am human and will make mistakes, so communicate with me when that happens.
4) Post length should vary depending on what is needed; both long and short posts have their place, but two to three quality paragraphs per post is a good minimum to expect.
5) You should be prepared to post once or twice a week. I'll make a post and give it a deadline, usually a week from that post. If the writers want, we can increase the pace, but I think that's a good starting point. Or if everyone posts before the deadline, I can push the new deadline up a bit.
6) If you can't post for a period of time or are no longer interested in the roleplay, let me know please. It's easier to know and work around it than to wonder what is going on.
7) One hero per writer please.
Character Sheet:
Please use the CS below to make your character. I’m open to many different types of superpowers for the PCs also. I'd say somewhere "middle of the road" in terms of "power level" is appropriate - strong enough to let people do what they want creatively, not so strong that there aren't stakes entirely, yet not so weak they get overpowered entirely. These should be heroes that are accepted into a crimefighting organization, after all!
Name: Alias: Age: Gender: Family: Appearance: (1+ paragraphs detailing your character's appearance, picture(s) are optional. (Real life, cartoon, anime, anything is fine.). Be sure to describe their daily attire as well as their costume) Superpower: (Be sure to include how it works, its weaknesses, and its strengths.) Skills: (Not necessarily combat skills.) Equipment: Personality: Biography: (Be sure to include when they discovered their superpowers (it can be apparent at birth, or show up at a later time in their life) and when they decided to become a hero) Relationships: (Optional, discuss this with other players!) Extra:
If you have any questions, please let me know. I look forward to writing with you!
