Ginmura. A city on the coast of western Japan, a city known for its bustling trade and its advancement in technology. Indeed, the research institutes in Ginmura have made massive advancements in the analysis of various forms of abilities and technologies. It could easily be stated to be the foremost in such research across the entire world. With this in consideration, it was decided that Ginmura would be the ideal location for SUPER headquarters.

SUPER. The Worldwide superhero organization registering heroes and organizing them to fight for justice and the good of the world. Supplying heroes with payment and materials that would allow them to continue their work in protecting the innocent, defeating criminals, and destroying monsters. SUPER has bases all across the planet, but Ginmura's base boasts an important distinction. It is home to not one, but three of the world's eight unstoppable EX-rank heroes, those individuals who are so powerful that they defy the traditional ranking system employed to reflect hero ability. Needless to say, this makes for an excellent recruitment tool. Many aspiring heroes are inspired to start their own journey through the ranks, so they can one day help people just like the EX-ranks can.

But the SUPER base has not worked as a deterrent. Monsters have attacked Ginmura. In fact, their presence has become more common recently. A Thunderstorm-class monster recently assaulted the market district, though it was destroyed by the combined efforts of several C-class heroes. Supercriminals, too, have seen increased activity.

Will you be a hero of justice to stand against evil?!

Ginmura is an advanced port city located on the Western coast of Japan. The SUPER headquarters, a large, imposing monolith of a building, is located in Ginmura's municipal quarter, to the mid-eastern side of the city. Ginmura boasts a large market district on the coast, a thriving entertainment district, and a healthy amount of residential areas.

One notable area in Ginmura has been nicknamed the "Research District". It is here that many of the city's universities and laboratories are based, studying the various abilities those known as superheroes possess(at least, as far as those who possess superhuman powers are concerned). In addition, they also perform research on monsters in order to better understand the nature of these incredibly dangerous creatures who attack humanity.

All in all, Ginmura proved to be an excellent location for the Japanese SUPER base.

So, um, my friend @Grey Star and I were talking, and we came up with this idea. It's basically an anime superheroes RP, something along the lines of One Punch Man, only with a bit more serious(though still with plenty of silliness potential). Also minus the guy who can explode monsters with a single punch, that would kind of break an RP in half.

In any case, players can be heroes or villains, but monsters are off-limits as playable characters. EX-rank is strictly off limits, as well.

This is a joint effort between myself an @Grey Star, and as a result we'll both be operating as full GM's.

SUPER ranking system for superheroes:

• E-Class: Low-level, relatively unskilled and lacking in power but proven themselves dedicated enough to join. Must perform at least one heroic act a day to remain a part of SUPER. Heroic acts include helping civilians find lost pets and keeping the town clean. Rank up is by merit. Basic entry level.
• D-Class: Low-level, but with some exceptional skill or power, and dedication. Must perform at least one heroic act a day to remain a part of SUPER. Heroic acts include helping civilians find lost pets and keeping the town clean. Rank up is by merit. Most common entry level.
• C-Class: Mid-level. Heroes of this rank have proven themselves quite capable, and have excellent power and skill. They are no longer required to commit one heroic act a day. Rank up by merit.
• B-Class: High-level. Heroes in this class have displayed above average power and skill, possessing intense capability for the pursuit of justice. Rank up by merit.
• A-Class: Extremely high-level. Heroes at this level are proven to be incredibly skilled and powerful, as well as having proven their merit in some way. The only way to go beyond this rank is to surpass the system entirely. (Note: A-rank hero numbers are extremely limited. Only a small number will be accepted, though heroes in lower ranks may advance to this level over the course of the RP.)
• EX-rank: A hero who has surpassed rank entirely. Technically undefinable, these heroes have limitless potential. There are only eight in the entire world, and three in Japan. (Note: Absolutely unacceptable.)

Supercriminal ranking mirrors hero ranking. The number of EX-rank criminals is unknown, but speculated to be low to zero.

Monster/non-human threat Ratings:

• Drizzle: Easily defeated by any hero, weakest level of monster.
• Rainstorm: More dangerous, but not out of the realm of a competent D-Class hero's abilities, or even some E-Class.
• Downpour: A definite hazard. E-Class heroes should avoid attempting to engage this threat unless there is no other course. D-Class should use extreme caution.
• Thunderstorm: A dangerous monster. Engagement level is C-class and up. Potential loss of human life rated high.
• Tsunami: An incredibly dangerous monster. C-Class heroes use caution, engagement level is B-Class and up.
• Hurricane: Potential loss of human life and destruction level extremely high. A-Class level engagement at least, all ranks use extreme caution at the presence of a Hurricane-class threat.
• Meteor: Extinction-level threat. Immediate deployment of EX-rank heroes recommended.

---

SUPER Rules and regulations:

• E and D-Class heroes must perform heroic acts at least once a day to maintain their position in SUPER. D-Class heroes who fail to do so will be ranked down, and E-Class will lose their registration.
• Harming a Civilian intentionally is punishable by at least a rank down to E-Class level, if not expulsion from SUPER.
• Property damage is strongly discouraged, but if it is unavoidable no measures will be taken against the offender.

---

RP Rules:

• Please listen to @Grey Star or myself. We both jointly came up with this idea and as such are both GM's.
• Keep tone in mind! Super dark, edgy heroes are not going to be accepted. This is intended to be evocative of One Punch Man, so obviously both more silly things and more serious things are acceptable.
• EX-ranks are strictly prohibited as player characters. This is due to extreme power level inherent in the rank.
• A-rank numbers from the start will be limited.
• Amateur heroes aspiring to join SUPER are absolutely acceptable.
• Villains are also acceptable.
• Please follow RPGuild rules.
• Have Fun!

@VitaVitaAR
I have a few questions for proper development of my character, if you would be so kind. One such is: Could a rainstorm Class Villian control or be the leader of a group of, say, Drizzle class?

Rainstorm-class is for Monsters. Supercriminals get the same ranks as heroes.

If you're wondering if a higher rank villain could control lower ranks, yes.

@XiphonicThat's the monster threat level rankings, not the villain ones.

Supercriminal ranking mirrors hero ranking. The number of EX-rank criminals is unknown, but speculated to be low to zero.

EDIT: Loli ninjas! D:

@Rin
Okay, thanks. I didn't get much sleep last night and I guess that didn't fully register to me.

Like I said, a villain in charge of weaker villains is fine.

You just wanted to make a simple fun RP, I can tell by the child-like smile on your face...



Seriously though I might join.

Happy to see the interest!

Happy to see the interest!

I will admit I've only seen that whole seen what with the grinning and the destroying of Speed O' Sound Sonic's future potential children. So I'm aiming to watch the show a bit more before I come up with something.

It's a very good idea to watch more for many reasons, but at the same time you don't need it for this RP.

It'll give you a very good idea of tone(and how much it can vary from the silly end of the spectrum to the serious one) though.

Alright, I'll post the app here before I post it in the 'Characters' Section, to see if it will be approved.

"Humanity does not deserve the world~!"

Name:
Melissa Howard(former)
Feder(current)

Villain Name:
The Birdkeeper
Dinosaur Kaiser

Age:
Teenager(Physically)
Unknown(presumed to be somewhat old)

Gender:
Physically

Supercriminal Appearance:
She never shows her face. That is her Supercriminal Appearance.
She constantly takes other forms and is always accompanied by mooks.

Personality:
Feder is very untrusting of others, as she had been taught about humanity's evil, and the current state of dinosaurs. In other words - she hates humans. However, if one is lucky, one might find her sitting on a tree, talking to the little birds, which shows that she has a good side. It's a sweet, lovely sight as long as you don't realise that she's talking about how humans are scum that enslave them.

Equipment:
N/A

Abilities:
Dinosaur Kaiser's main ability is to transform into numerous possible dinosaurs. However, she cannot transform into ancient creatures that are mistaken for dinosaurs, such as Dimetrodon or Pterosaurs. 'Dinosaur' is a broad term, so as an extension of this ability, she can transform into modern day dinosaurs - AKA birds. The only mythological bird is said arsenal is a Phoenix, so she uses the inert capabilities to revive herself after she dies. This is why she looks so young. She can also use these abilities to a smaller extent.
For each of her forms, DNA traces appear different.
Do note that if an something like a Velociraptor uses magic or
In addition to this, she can also control dinosaurs. This includes modern-day dinosaurs and by extension, mythological birds.
She can also talk to dinosaurs, and by extension, modern-day di- OK you get it. Birds and dinosaurs, birds and dinosaurs.
She is slightly above peak human extents in her default human form.
She speaks animal, being one herself.

Skills:
She can survive in the wild rather well, so an urban jungle is no issue.
She is skilled in hand to hand combat

Brief Backstory:
Imagine Jurassic Park, but instead of frog DNA, they used bird DNA.
That's how Dinosaur Kaiser's parents were born. They were a pair of Microraptors revived during an experiment by Dr Rex Howard to bring dinosaurs back to life. Melissa was Dr Howard's daughter who had recently died, so he wanted to use his technology to revive her while keeping her memories intact. With that, he instilled the DNA of dinosaurs, both ancient and modern, and inserted them into a core to replace her heart. This core had one ingredient - Phoenix DNA.
However, one day, there was an outbreak in the lab, where the revived dinosaurs of all varieties escaped and went into a nearby forest to live. During this rampage, Dr Howard was supposedly killed, but little did anyone know... he was alive in some form...
The Microraptor pair adopted Melissa as their own. It turned out that certain dinosaurs started to gain crow-level intellect and knew more no, due to the stated 'bird DNA' being a mix of crow and chicken. The Microraptors were no exception.
The Microraptors were able to learn that dinosaurs still lived today in the natural world - kept in zoos, used as livestock, kept as slaves in cages(misintepreted concept of pets and zoos on their part). Melissa - now named Feder - is tasked with venturing into human civilisation to show them that the age of dinosaurs is here once again.

Villain Rank:
C (The Birdkeeper)
A (Dinosaur Kaiser)

Theme Song:
As The Birdkeeper:
youtu.be/ZNo5AorJiMQ
As Dinosaur Kaiser:
youtu.be/4a24m9Z6LeY

Other Information:
The Hero Association considers The Birdkeeper and Dinosaur Kaiser to be seperate entities, due to no evidence that they are one and the same.
Her ranking does not fully reflect her potency, due to her having an array of mooks at her disposal

*struggles to breathe*

sorry, i got a bit excited because there was this one RP that never really got far but now this one's spawned up and i just feel happy

Will get a CS some time.

Okay, I'll quickly point out the RP will be more serious then One Punch Man more often, but again, not without silly things in it at all. just more of a consistent balance I think might be the best way to put it?

In any case, um, let's see here...

@Crow: Okay, um... using a naked picture is a biiiiit awkward to start with to say the least. ^^; Then, um, the storm-based rankings are for monsters, not villains, and Monsters aren't playable.

@Ariamis: Okay, let's see... I don't have problems with him as a character at all(and obviously some silly stuff is allowed, definitely) but I do have to say I'm mildly concerned with the level of power his awakened beasts have. ^^;

He's A-Class, so certainly his beasts can be powerful, but I'd put some speed and strength limitations on them. It won't take much editing, and again, he's A-Class so they can be pretty scary.

I'll also allow GS to give her opinion here, but I think this is fair.

I fixed her rankings. It's now C for The Birdkeeper and A for Dinosaur Kaiser.

May be making a D or C-class Hero. A guy with potential, but is a bit distracted by every-day life and laziness.

plus i feel like this rp will fill with b to a ranks very quickly

Don't have time to look over bios since I'm leaving very shortly. However, have posted my first character and an example of a hero(she's an amateur in this case, though).

GS can handle them or I'll look them over when I get back.

@VitaVitaAR
I toned down the power levels of the Devas. They're also that powerful since despite being A-class Yamato himself can only dodge and track an opponent, so he's helpless if separated from his pets or something takes control of them.
