ALL PLAYERS, RELOCATE HERE
April 1st, 2026. Quite a few things have changed in the past 10 years. The Western Civilization has cleaned house, as a result of many protests, movements and changes made in the political aspect of many nations, including that of the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Germany and Australia. With the Age of Information in full swing, the truth of our world was brought to the light of the people, and at this point, they were upset, and they wanted change. This wave of change that took place from early 2014 all the way up to late 2021 is what brought reform to many nations around the globe. Governments were overthrown in the weakest of nations, and while some of them were replaced with newer, better governments, some were replaced with weak governments that allowed criminals, rebels and terrorists to live in their midst, and tyrannical governments that were worse than their predecessors. The dust was finally starting to settle this year, and after a rough few years around the world, many can say that it changed for the better, but some will say it changed for the worst.
While the seedy truths of the world governments, fortune 500 companies and massive NGO superpowers were surfaced within the sights of the people, many people have discovered the existence of the supernatural, and that it has been kept hidden from the public for the longest amount of time. The supernatural was a term that included the existence of superhumans, demons, angels, aliens, and even other forms of life that no one thought existed. For the longest amount of time, these beings, whether they be heroes, villains, or neutral individuals, kept their existence hidden for the longest amount of time, whether it would be from living in isolation or being incognito amongst many normal folks around them. However, once the truth was brought to light, no one believed them. They were either covered up or dismissed as hoaxes. Many of the world's inhabitants were ignorant of the existence of these supernatural beings... until now.
A week beforehand, letter was sent to quite a few of those individuals themselves. Most of these letters went to people who lived around the Southern California area, but some of the letters were sent all over the globe. The letter itself invited the reader to meet the writer over at Dock 32 in San Diego, California, and to bring a whole lot of their personal belongings, as they are recruiting talented individuals such as themselves. The letter was quite formal, and very polite, and it was personalized to everyone, as well as the abilities they possessed. However, all of them had the same property: they were all signed by Lisa Martinez, and had a unique emblem stamped on it, an emblem that read Powerbound Alliance.
And so, the adventure begins!
Rules
0. Listen to GM - I know this is obvious but my word is law. However, please do not hesitate to PM me for absolutely anything, as I am lonely sometimes and I do not want to be a dick. xD
1. Have Common Sense - Rules are same as that on the site. However, excessive cursing is allowed in my book as long as it is IC dialogue. However, please follow all site rules if you don't want to get in trouble.
2. Have Respect - I will not tolerate any rudeness, drama or anything else along those lines OOC. IC drama/disrespect/rudness is cool, especially if you guys work it out OOC amicably. OOCly, please take all of that drama to the PMs instead and work it out. I will have none of it. Also, if you do have a problem with me, as I said above, please talk to me about it, and I will try my best to get it all sorted out, okay?
3. Have Decency - Please keep all interactions T for Teen, PG-13 or whatever it is in other countries. While I am fine with mature interaction, this site isn't, so I don't want to get banned. Please keep all of the excessive swearing in IC dialogue, and keep all sexual contact to just kissing. Use a timelapse of some sort to skip past mature scenes, and if you guys want to play it out, please play it out via PMs. Also please refrain from using offensive/derogatory terms OOCly as well.
4. Have Verbosity - Please, for the love of GOD, post with at least three paragraphs of non-dialogue/action! Details, descriptions, all of that is absolutely appreciated, we really want to know what your character is thinking, feeling, doing, all of that! The more details you can put in a post, the better. However, do not bloat out posts with actions from other characters, just react to them, and put in what is needed for us to get a good idea of what's going on with your character and what's inside his/her head. This is a High-Casual RP, so I suggest you bring your A-Game! :D Also collab posts made in between players are totally allowed and encouraged.
5. Have Good Attendance - While I don't want you to check in every single day of the week, that would be appreciated though. Please post at least twice or three times a week. The more frequent, the better. That way we don't have to wait for posts from other characters. I'm a very frequent poster so you don't have to worry about me. However, if you're going to be away from the site for a bit, please let us know ahead of time in the OOC and we'll skip, and let you pick up once you get back. If the RP stagnates, I'll either suggest a timelapse or let people post flashbacks to give their character(s) some more backstory.
6. Have Good Character(s) - Good characters are a MUST, and diversity is ENCOURAGED. Please take your time, and please put a whole lot of love into your characters, so that way I have a good idea of who's who, and what kind of people they are. However, the characters NEED TO BE APPROVED BEFORE THEY ARE POSTED UNDER THE "CHARACTERS" TAB. Please mention me so I can approve your character. Lower-tiered characters (like that with powers that are not that powerful yet but are powerful later on) is EXTREMELY ENCOURAGED, but not required. There are also those playable races:
- Superhumans
- Normal Humans*
- Angels*
- Demons*
- Aliens*
- Synthetics*
- Other Supernaturals**
* = You have to have a very damn good reason why you're playing them, and a complete history, backstory, details and all of that are a MUST.
** = There are some other mythical beings out there that exist that I can't put in this list as of yet. These require a good explanation as to what they are so I don't have to do a whole lot of research in order to just check one character.
Here are the playable alignments (the villains would be played by me, feel free to suggest 'em via PM):
- Lawful Good
- Neutral Good
- Chaotic Good
- Lawful Neutral
- True Neutral
- Chaotic Neutral*
- Lawful Stupid*
- Chaotic Stupid*
* = These alignments are for fun/funny secondary characters who play as comic relief, or for people who would mindscrew their enemies/other players. However, please do not use those type of characters to derail the RP or to destroy the RP in of itself.
Please do NOT make god-mode sues or any other super-powerful character that can make the combat part of these RPs extremely easy. I want to give them challenges and struggles. Cakewalks are boring and frustrating. Again, put lots of detail and lots of love into your character sheets, otherwise they won't be accepted. Below are the powers that are banned from use in the RP.
BANNED POWERS
1. Shit people are already doing, it would make the RP a little less fun. Variety is the spice of life <3
2. Anything that make any conflict a cakewalk for the character. They can become more powerful to the point where it will be a cakewalk for them, but don't make them start off too powerful. This can be overridden with behavior (like the person is a pacifist and will show restraint to not kill his enemies... a bad example but an example nonetheless). Depends.
3. Any power that will destroy planets/universe/moons/cities/whatever.
4. Any power that will destroy the RP itself, whether it would halt the RP or just make the RP no longer fun.
5. I don't know, just whatever I see that could cause a whole lot of problems. I'm GM, and my word is LAWWWWWW!!!
8. Have Fun! :D - And please enjoy the RP. If you have any suggestions, questions, comments, concerns, anything, please PM me for whatever reason. I have no qualms talking to people and I would love suggestions for the RP, whether they be for scenarios, villains, and other stuff. Have fun! And if you have read the rules all of the way, please type into the Extra section of your character sheet of your favorite superhero, what your time zone is and what was in the grey text.
In short, please be reasonable and respectful in this thread. That's all. :)
Characters
Please mention me whenever you put up your character sheet. When this RP is labelled "FULL", I will NOT accept any characters under any circumstances. However, is there's a shortage of characters, I will allow people to join in progress, but you would have to talk with me about that first so the process would be seamless. Do NOT post your characters under the characters tab until I approved them. The RP will start once everyone's ready, and once there's enough characters. If not, I'll make the first post next Monday-Tuesday (can be pushed back if you guys need more time), so you guys got 5-6 days. Use the character sheet below to help make your character. Multiple characters are allowed, but no more than 2 per person.
Also please choose a color for your character, so you can use it for dialogue posts. To do this properly, paste this character sheet in Notepad, and replace all of the "???" with the hex number of your color. Also, delete the space in between the [ hr]'s so they'll work in the post.
I will put down the post format once the RP starts. I hope you enjoy the RP, and I hope you enjoyed putting together your character!
Also, use this list below to keep track of all of the approved characters and NPCs, and what face-claims are used.
Character sheets, post format and all of that were originally created by @HushedWhispers, with some modifications and enhancements. Plox don't sue meh D:
Posting
All of your posts will follow a similar format in order to easily keep track of the RP and what's going on. Here's the posting format below, also Copyright @Din. xD Remember to remove the space in between the [ hr], because if I did that myself it won't show up properly below!
Here is the posting format. USE THIS. Remember to delete the mentions and characters from the "Interacting With" part that you are not interacting with! And remember to put []'s around the @mentions too.
