The world has changed, more than it ever has before. Except for when the all the continents tore themselves off from the mainland, and also the Dinosaurs all died that one time. But it's still pretty close, because just like the Dinosaurs, a giant meteor came crashing down and changed the whole pecking order. The meteor carried with it a new substance unknown to man, which dispersed in the atmosphere and gave hundeds of thousands of people powers.

In the midst of the ensuing chaos, the first to take action was not the government. It was Corporations instead and they quickly rose to power. Suddenly all of the 'Gnu man inc.'-s and the 'Hahahah Group'-s literally became fueled by cosmic space powers, so obviously a struggle ensued. But as was the way of the world, the smaller companies were eventually trumped and absorbed by the bigger companies which in turn grew unimaginably huge. Not just large either, huge. How huge you ask? Well, one of them actually had enough bank to buy Russia. And they did.

There had to be a new term coined for that, so from that day on the Alkaev Conglomerate was crowned the world's first giga-corporation, and also as the new rulers of Russia. "Hey!" I hear you ask. "I thought you said America 2033, not Russia 2033!". I'm getting to that, so don't you worry.

Some people said that these corporations would've eventually gotten this big even without the meteor coming down and changing things. So kind of like, again with, the Dinosaurs' extinction apparently being half changing-climate with the meteor sealing the deal; the Corporations were already sort of half way in control with the meteor just sealing the deal. So yeah, most of the countries in the world became simply a collection of big corporations, except for Australia. Because no one cares about Australia.

America was one of the only major countries who managed to avoid total corporate control. They managed to get a morally sound president who didn't give in to bribes which is all the Corporations in America ended up trying for a while before they wised up, but by that time the president had already read up on all the tactics. The Corporations ended up stepping off however, as they figured out that coming into the giga-corporation business this late was probably going to be a bad move considering every other giga-corporation had a massive head start on them.

Now America has entered what would probably be termed a Corporate Stalemate, where none of the corporations can really do anything without amassing more power but none of them are clearly bigger than any other corporation and they probably won't be able to make a move without getting someone else trying to double-team you. Kind of sort of like if T-Rexes were fighting each other, except there's only 9 or 10 of them and there's no other food, except the 8 or so Mosasauruses down in the beach somewhere, but they definitely wouldn't be able to take those.

Basically, it's all a big mess. But that my friends, is what Corporate Troubles are in a Super Powered Future.

For those that are new here, welcome. Despite the preface this RP will not be a nation RP, military RP or anything like that. It's simply a normal RP with a different kind of premise. It'll function a little differently to a normal casual RP(hopefully) in that I'm not particular about post size in here. You can make it as long or as short as you need it to be, so it is basically half free.

Now, some considerations:

• Do be respectful to other people. If you're going to have a heated debate, do it via PMs or something if it's going to clog up the OOC.
• If you need to ask about something, don't hesitate to say it either OOC or PMing me. I've made a ton of mistakes which I could've avoided if I just asked about it.
• Feel free to PM me suggestions about what I could do better, I don't have much experience GMing and I'm still human so I'll probably miss stuff some time.
• I'm not in complete control here. An RP is a player driven experience so it's really up to all of you to make big decisions.

---

• The sheet is just a template, you can add or change whatever you like with it.
• When making a power, you can make it 'overpowered' if you really want to, but consider other people. You're not the only one here and if it's just not fun to play against, then don't do it.
• Please don't try to purposely offend anyone
• Keep in mind that you should make a character you would enjoy playing. You should design a character that can have interesting interactions with other characters or the environment.
• Factions are listed in the character section

If any of you are having trouble with ideas, I can provide a lot. That's pretty much everything from me...

:P Anime characters?, also could our characters be somewhat robotic.

I'm working on a CS, but just don't know how the pictures work, help anyone? Also, about the ranks in the Free World Group, I was just wondering if there would be high ranking guards that were only put on high profile jobs. (Last was edited in and for @RoflsMazoy

Someone asked if they could be a dinosaur and I said yes, you can do whatever you want as long as you can explain it in some way. :)

There would be those kinds of guards, yes, but they wouldn't be any special rank or anything. They'd just be the best and they'd get paid more than the usual guards.

wow this sounds so awesome :D

@RoflsMazoy

O: Could my character be a detective or something similar to that!?

I'm thinking of a spy/assassin guy :D totally useful in a corporate world with greedy corporate leaders

@RoflsMazoy
For approval:
(if he needs tweaking please let me know :) )

Name:Castyel (nickname: Cas)

Codename: Cipher Nine

Age: 22

Occupation:Free world spy and assassin (with his assassin work he works his way around the other corporations, allowing him more access to their information. It is a delicate line, since if any other cooperation figures him out he is in for a lot of torture.)

Appearance:

(his hair is jet black)

Bio:When the meteor passed, he developed not only abilities, but also blue skin and ruby red eyes. Having originally been an FBI agent (before that a marine sniper for a short amount of time), he managed to work his way into being a spy, then an assassin. He finds that he is now a perfectly trained weapon with efficiency on his side. He prefers not to think totally about his past self, feeling that it is easier to pretend that his past life never occurred. When not on a job, he is often found with sunglasses, jeans, combat boots, gloves, t shirts, and a ball cap. He has a wall between him and his emotions, finding that emotions can ruin the efficiency of a job. He has yet to find someone get past that wall and doesn't expect that to change any time soon.(although, he can let emotions out if he finds them useful to a job)

Powers:
-Superhuman healing:A broken bone that normally would take weeks takes days.(think little less then wolverine)
-Superhuman strength:is a whole lot stronger then he looks. (has been known to lift and throw cars)
-Anti-ageing: it seems as if his healing abilities have lead to him being "stuck" at his current age, which if he was captured, would most likely be one of the things studied about him. After all, eternal youth makes money.

Other:
-Blending:since his skin and eyes are a huge giveaway, he is now really adept at creating disguises for himself. He can make "fake skin" that allows him to look normal and colored contacts that cover his eye color. Usually he wears gloves to cover his hands. If necessary, he is able to apply make up instead of fake skin, but that can come off easier and is more risky.
-Training:FBI, spy, and assassin training make him incredibly adept in multiple situations.
-Underestimated: While he is rather tall (6 foot), he has a more medium build (six pack and tone arm and leg muscles, but not bulky), allowing him to be underestimated by many foes.

This ok?


Name: Ryan Barrak
Age: 23
Occupation: High Profile Guard for the Free World Group
Appearance: Hazel eyes, short black hair, scar over right eye, 6’ 2”, 172 lb.
Bio: Joining the Free World Group when he was 20, Ryan had been trained in many different skills from a young age. These included unarmed, armed close combat, fire arms training, sneaking, lying, lock picking and more. His power gave him an advantage over most of the other guards, and he soon rose up in the ranks, going from guard to squad leader in six months, then squad leader to special operative in a year. He was 21 then. He was assigned as essentially an invisible body guard, blending in with the people around his employer or watching from another place entirely with a rifle. Before even joining the Free World Group, however, Ryan had spent 2 years training in military and guerrilla tactics, and subsequently has a sharp mind along with a trained body
Skills: Various unarmed and armed combat styles, good shot, sneaking, lock picking, various tactics, good liar, blending in, and medical training.
Faults: Possibly too loyal for his own good, can’t resist a challenge, if someone he cares about (Family, friends, teammate) is made into bait he will try everything to save them.
Power: Increased reflexes, senses, conscious awareness

O: Could my character be a detective or something similar to that!?

there'd definitely be a high demand for it so yeah, go for it

your dood

I thought Wolverine's healing was like, really strong? One time he got hit by a bomb to the face and he grew that back pretty fast. Other than that, it seems fine if a little generic.

I forgot to get a cast list up so just wait for that

your dood

If you upload the picture to imgur and check the edit box, you can resize the picture. Other than that, he seems fine.

I forgot a cast list thing so wait for it please

@RoflsMazoy
little less then wolverine's, ill make an edit. And yea a little generic for right now, but i plan on developing him out as the rp develops :)

Sorry if I seem a bit slow, but what do you mean by upload the picture to imgur? The link I used was for imgur, but there wasn't any editing available there.

If you go to imgur.com, there's a button that says 'upload images'. Then you can just take an image url and put it in, and you can reupload the picture to imgur, also allowing you to use their resizer thing

@RoflsMazoy

Well I mean, it's not his personality that's really generic, I just meant his powers. Being superhuman in an RP doesn't translate to much because you can't really do anything special when you're fighting someone unless you have something way over the top.

Like once, I made a guy with simply enhanced physical capabilities but just doing that with a normal weapon was going to be boring because if I did combat, it'd be just him swinging extra strong sometimes. So I gave him dual greatswords and once in a fight I had him throw one into the air, run forward, hit the guy, jump up and catch the greatsword in mid-air and then slam them both down onto the guy which ended up being pretty sweet.

Anyhow my point is, I'm just saying those powers are a little generic because you don't end up doing much, but you don't have to change if you don't want to

I am here, I will be working on my sheet.

I was thinking of going towards a hacker route, if that's ok. I could base her powers along that route too, if there's a place for it.

If not I can think of something else since it seems like Assassin was taken :(

Yup, of course you can! I may need one for plot reasons later on, if we get that far ;D

@RoflsMazoy
ah i see what you mean now. I figured out how to work with them for fighting along with his skills that will be interesting. Thanks for the suggestion :)

@RoflsMazoy
Problem is that I don't own the image, so I'm not allowed to upload it :( I'll see if I can find something similar but smaller

@RoflsMazoy

Well, if you use imgur you don't publicly upload it. People mostly use imgur to host an image so they can use it on forums, because sometimes certain websites don't work. You could also just give credit to the creator if you want to.

The size isn't really a problem, you can just put it in a hider if you have to
