Introductions

Greetings, welcome to the WHA or The Weird Heroes of America. We are team of superheroes unlike any other and as our name suggests we are very strange heroes brought together by a commonality of weirdness. To be one of us you have to fit the one requirement, which is to be weird in some way. You may have a very weird costume or very odd powers, but you're not the traditional hero who is beloved by the public or thought of as cool. It is our job to counter threats against mankind that are beyond basic understanding, so will you join the WHA?

Themes

This is a superhero roleplay that is focused on strange heroes and their battles with equally strange villains. This rp is basically throwing out realism and replacing it with very weird stories, characters and adventures. In this world superheroes have been established since the early twentieth century and our characters will be the oddballs of the hero community. I am intending this rp to be a mind dump when it comes to characters and story arcs and I am heavily encouraging conversation about story ideas for the roleplay. Let your mind roam free and get your creative juice flowing, come join this rp and let's have some fun.

Rules

Please try to follow these rules, but know that some I will try to be lenient with as long as I have reason to be.

1: I am GM so my word is law and I trust that you all respect that.

2: This is low casual when it comes to writing style so I expect good grammar and at least two or three lines of text in a post. Please no one-line posts.

3: You're characters have to be weird, this can either apply to powers, costumes or the character's personality.

4: For now you can only have one character, but this might change later in the rp.

5: No arguing in the OOC, civil discussions is fine, but if people start insulting each other then I will ask you to take it to the Private Messages and if you refuse then you will be booted from this roleplay.

6: Please try to be creative in crafting a character, let your mind run wild.

7: Magic is allowed as an origin for your character's powers.

8: Be respectful.

9: When it comes to profanity and sexuality I want it kept at PG-13, but I will be more lenient when it comes to violence.

Author's Note: I will give more info on the rp when I create the OOC.

So basically... Great Lakes Avengers? :D

Think of Grant Morrison's Doom Patrol mixed with magic and that's kind of what I'm going for.

EVEN BETTER. I love Doom Patrol. ...In fact Mr. Nobody is my favourite DC villain. ^^;

I haven't read the comic, but I watched some history videos on the Doom Patrol and they mentioned the comic run by him.

May be interested.

Eh, going to be honest: if you're going to be basing something on it, it's best to have first-hand experience with it. It's not the kind of thing you can really get a good grasp of via videos and wikis, honestly. ^^;

"As me if I sparkle, I dare you!!!"



An immortal demigod born during the Jurassic period. No, Humanity and dinosaurs weren't separated by millions and millions of years, they coexisted. In fact, Humans worshiped the ancient Tyrannosaurs as gods. Some of them even breathed fire and fought other gods, such as the Mammoths or, giant prehistoric serpents for Humans as worshipers and cattle.

A man, going by the name as Charles Fallow Pennebroke has lived since the Jurassic period, as a demi god. He is a powerful, immortal and enormously resilient sorcerer. He is capable of wielding the powers of brute strength, far beyond Human capability, supernatural healing, and manipulation over natural phenomenon. He can even conjure the spirits of the Prehistoric gods and lower animals, neanderthals and such animals, and transform into the same manner of body as his father, the great Tarkatharn. His powers are over the Ice Age, and the Primeval past of the world he still lives in.

Partially interested. I'll start throwing around some basic ideas for a character, and once this gets more hype I'll throw them in. (:

Interesting...

The... wha?

To be serious, I'll watch this.

I'll join in if I have the time.

Sounds cool just don't make him OP.

I get that, but I'm simply borrowing the concept of very weird heroes and stories like the ones featured in his run, which is why I am not doing an actual Doom Patrol rp.

eh, kind of interested but I don't want to party with a demi-god.

Why's that?

@Weird Tales

Too many cases where I've been in RPs where super powerful characters resolve conflicts by the proverbial snap of the fingers. Might work in this RP since it's meant to be tongue in cheek anyway, but. Eh. Yeah.

@Dondude

Hey don't worry. Magical symbols, wards, stuff like that, work against me. It won't make me worthless and helpless like a video game magician with no magic points, but it does mean I can't just wipe all my enemies away by whispering too harshly.

And also, how insensitive. My mother was a Dragon, my father was a Tyrannosaur, how awkward do you think it is at family dinners?
