In this world, super powers exist. It's something that the population has always known about, and accepted, somewhat. You could say it's like having skin of color. You still live. In some places, you can thrive. But people who hate you will still exist, not for who you are, but for what you look like. That's exactly what having super powers is like. You still live. But most fear you, shun you, simply because you carry this gift you did not ask for. A gift you did not get to choose.
Some embrace it, while some go down below the surface and never come back up.
We have "heroes". People who try to give supers a good name. Stupid people, who wear capes and spandex, and are so clouded with hope they fall before they get the chance to fly.
No. You're not that stupid.
You want to help. You believe that you can. But you're smarter then that. You know what you're about to delve into.. has to be done oh so carefully. You? You're not a hero. You're not a villain either. You were breaking the law before this just by existing, could it really hurt to break a few more?
A vigilante. That's what you are. Someone plain by day, something more by night. You do what you can to help this corrupted city, you do what you can to protect the innocent. But the key to staying alive? Confidentiality. You work alone.
Well, you did.
A powerful evil has awoken within your city. He introduced himself as Umbra, and his motivation is unknown. He's killed over ten innocent and you've only know of his presence a week and just recently, took a vigilante hostage. It's clear you're no match for him alone.. you decide it's best to hide.
That is, until you receive an email. An email from the vigilante Ditch. You've heard of them before - either a crazy skilled hacker or a super with technology related powers. They're known to close off bank accounts of criminals, cause cars to crash, and wreak havoc to those who deserve it. They're powerful.
They suggest a meeting. They suggest banding together with other vigilantes in order to stop Umbra. Are you done working alone? Are you prepared to face this evil with a whole bunch of strangers?
You're life isn't going to be the same after this. But you were never normal anyway.

Hiya! This is the first RP I'll be running on this site so please, go easy on me. Basically, this is a superhero vigilante RP where you, a superhuman, are forced to work with a group of other vigilantes to stop an evil dude named Umbra, when usually you're used to working alone. Drama! Action! Superpowers! The wholeeeeeeeeee package.
This isn't as free-form as most modern superpower roleplays I've seen here, which is kind of the point. I do have a basic plot outline, a reason to get us all together, and an evil we need to stop. Details are up to all of us to create. This is a sort of high-casual, low-advanced roleplay. I expect character development, 2-3+ paragraphs per post, and lots of chatting OOC to keep us motivated and the ideas flowing!
I don't guarantee this roleplay will happen, depending on what type of interest I get. I will need some help navigating this website, I'm still not 100% on how things work here, but what better way to learn than to run a roleplay? ^o^
But yeah! I look forward to hearing some input and questions for this RP :D And... sorry about the sucky name. :P
