This is Megatropolis City
(Yeah, we're not good at making names)Founded in the great year of 19105, Megatropolis is an extremely large and technologically advanced city with a population of around 10 million. For the most part, Megatropolis is rather prosperous and generally quite peaceful, however, this peacefulness quickly turns to panic upon the arrival of various Monsters, Villains and jaywalkers (probably not that last one, actually), of which Megatropolis seems to attract for seemingly no reason. Luckily, Megatropolis is also fortunate enough to have a surplus of various Superheroes within it, be they technological or magical. Superhumans, Sentai Rangers, Magical Girls and much, much more. They don't necessarily operate together (they're independent of each other most of the time), nor do they have any real relation to each other. They just happen to live or base themselves there for their individual reasons. Their presence within the city is what maintains the peace, as they protect it with their technological prowess, martial skill or supernatural powers. With the combined (or individual) efforts of these various Heroes, Megatropolis is frequently rescued from the brink of destruction, time and time again.
However, just as there are your Heroes and Villains, there are also those who opt to take a neutral approach, seeking to serve only themselves, and having mixed views in the eyes of the public.
Whether you're a Hero, Villain or somewhere in-between: Welcome to Megatropolis.
Yo. Welcome to this here RP. As the Interest Check would've said, this is a Roleplay that draws a ton of inspiration from One-Punch Man, while taking place in a universe completely separate from it. The goal here is to get a light-hearted not-crazy-serious experience going. A big factor of this RP will be the fact that it's pretty broad in what you can actually be in terms of character.
The last ninja of a secret clan? Sure, why not?
Physically-Enhanced Super Soldier who dual-wields tomahawks? Fair game, man.
A GODDAMN MAGICAL GIRL WITH THE POWERS OF THE STARS??? YOU BET YOUR SWEET BIPPY YOU CAN.
Aside from that, this RP'll also be mostly Arc-based, with some free time in-between Story Arcs to allow for that sweet character interaction that all the cool kids crave. In addition, you'll be able to suggest some Arc ideas to the Co-GMs and myself for us to go over, and we'll see if we can incorporate them from time to time.
With all that cleared up, I'll move onto the rest of the information.
Heroes: The heroic members of society who fight against Monsters and Villains to protect the civilians of Megatropolis. Heroes are generally idolized by the populace of Megatropolis, and relied upon in times of conflict. Heroes generally have some sort of unqiue aspect that allows them to do battle with Villains or Monsters, be it some kind of power suit, physical enhancements, martial / weapon proficiency, or supernatural abilities. Based on how they act in the public eye, certain Heroes may become more popular than others. In addition, not all Heroes necessarily share the exact same philosophies on things, and have differing opinions that may sometimes cause them to clash with each other. Some Heroes are also prone to forming alliances in times of extreme strife, coming together to take down greater foes and obstacles.
Even the most solitary Heroes may seek assistance from others from time to time. Maybe. Probably not, actually. Just forget I said anything.
Villains: The individuals who commit crimes both large and small, from vandilization to attempts at world dominiation. Much like Heroes, Villains can also be quite diverse and unique from each other, each with different motives, powers and plans. As one can guess, Heroes and Villains are frequently at odds with each other, with some Heroes forming serious dislikes for specific Villains, becoming each others nemesis. Even so, Villains are rarely ever killed by Heroes, as doing so would cause an uproar in the community. Instead, Villains are normally incapacitated or restrained, and then imprisoned, only for some of them to escape later, because why not?
Monsters: A somewhat loose term to describe the sentient creatures that are which threaten the tranquillity of Megatropolis. Monsters are simply defined by the fact that they are "lacking in humanity," despite the vagueness of the term. They can be previously human individuals who were transformed through scientific or magical means, or they can be sentient races that have remained dormant or hidden from the world. In almost all cases, Heroes are able to kill Monsters with impunity, as they are generally too large, dangerous and unpredictable to be imprisoned. RIP.

Rules
Most Roleplays have 'em. Here are ours.
0. Follow the Site Rules - Pretty self explanatory.
1. GM / Co-GM Ruling is final - Also pretty self explanatory. We have the final ruling. Don't worry though - we're not dictators.
2. No Godmodding - Basically, no ridiculously powerful characters. Your character should have the ability to be defeated - and by extension, killed.
3. No Metagaming - Don't make use of OOC knowledge not available to your character in the IC.
4.
SUBMIT TO THE EMPIRE OF BONE.- DO IT.5. No Auto-Hitting - Don't automatically hit other people's characters, it ain't cool.
6. Don't control other people's characters - Self explanatory.
7. No Killing Without Permission - Needless to say, killing people isn't a very cash money of you - even less so when you don't ask for permission. So do it. Do ask for permission before you kill another player's character. Unimportant NPCs are fair game, though.
8. Romance is allowed - Yeah. Romance can be a thing in this RP if you plan it. However, take anything 18+ to your PMs or whatever.
9. No one-liners - No posts consisting of a single sentence. We expect at least 4-5 lines of text, a decent paragraph.
10. Shoot your problems to the GMs - We'd be glad to help, just send us a PM.
11. No Crazy-Dark Characters - I don't have a problem with antisocial or some slightly darker characters - I really don't. However, I don't think I'll be accepting any character who's killed their parents at the age of 6 and embody the seven deadly sins while calling themselves the "Lord of Dark Evil".
12. Keep it somewhat unique - Simply put, try not to make too similar characters. It's fine to have say, one or two people who use Power Suits, but if everyone chooses Power Suits then it sort of changes the focus of the Roleplay. 2 - maybe 3 - people with "similar" powers is about the maximum I'll allow, if you get what I mean.
13. Be wary of the Villain count - We shouldn't run into a point where player-made Villains or Neutrals outweigh the amount of Heroes in this Roleplay, considering the fact that we as GMs can constantly create new Villains as necessary. Also, this RP is more focused around Heroes anyway.
14. Pay your taxes or be sent to the Shadow Realm - No explanation needed.
15. Thanks, and have fun.
Character Sheet
The character sheet here is pretty simple. If you want to be stylish and make alterations e.g. putting your character appearance at the top, go ahead. Because of the simplicity of the application, I'm trusting you to get the formatting down.
