I have always been a fan of the gritty superhero sagas where morality and mortality play a large part. My superhero combatant, General Freedom, who I use in the arena, struggles with his ‘ethical’ right to intervene with his powers against those without or lesser power sets. 

In prior superhero RPs I have been involved with, the dystopian setting, the darkness of the meta-story and the struggle for hope have been elements I find enjoyable, drawing me into the setting, and because I am invested, I tend to be more active. 

One of my favorite storylines was the Dark Knight: Returns series by Frank Miller. The Watchmen, Judge Dread, Grendel and The Punisher are other examples of comic series that stimulate my imagination. I accept the fact that I am probably in the minority in this regard, but it will not stop me from checking out the progress and join this RP if the setting appeals to me.
