Okay guys, I'm gonna try GMing a new game here for realzies this time, and I want to see if anyone is interested in it. While the universe of this world isn't fully fleshed out yet, the WIP description of the world below would give you an idea of what it's like. Long story short, it takes place in the mid 2020s, where technology has changed for the better, the political landscape of the world is changing, and evil is being purged from the world now that it's being brought up to the attention of the people. However, angels, demons, superhumans and aliens exist, and the people are still ignorant about their presence.
The Powerbound Universe is like reality unless otherwise noted. Takes place twenty minutes into the future, with some futuristic tech and some slight changes in the political landscape. Scotland and Kurdistan were recently given independence in light of recent political movements and shifts around the world, and the information age was already in full swing, bringing the truth into the light, purging evil from that of companies, governments and many other organizations around the world. However, due to the information age, and the exposure of corruption all around the world, many of the good-intentioned movements that have spawned have destabilized some less powerful nations. While some of the governments that replaced the corrupt institutions and totalitarian regimes around the world formed successful nations that brought peace and prosperity to its people, others were often replaced with, at best, governments that were too weak to bring order and peace to the country, and at worst, totalitarian regimes that were worse than their predecessors.
However, while many of the leaked information regarding the governments, corporations and organizations of the world brought truth to the light, leaked information about supernatural elements in our world, including that of superhumans, ghosts, demons, angels and alien life, were often dismissed as hoaxes and clickbait. Due to the fictionalization of said supernatural elements, many people often dismissed the notion of such beings existing on our planet. In this universe, all of these supernatural elements do exist, and while some are known to the public, most aren't, for a variety of reasons.
Superhumans, as well as demons, angels and aliens, kept their existence hidden throughout the ages, as those who made themselves public were often killed by the populations they were either protecting or destroying, or kept secret/embellished by the governments that discovered them. Nowadays, due to the advent of video, CGI and the mass popularity of fictionalized supernatural characters, such beings now have much more freedom when it comes to their abilities and origins, though they still have to be careful, especially during the age of surveillance. These beings exist and live all over the world, some amongst humans (mostly unknowing, there are a few knowing communities that are very helpful) and some amongst themselves, whether they be alone or in groups. While most of them are benign (either keeping themselves hidden, or never having their powers discovered in the first place), most of those who do take action are often on the side of good, whether it would be helping the unfortunate, removing evil from the world or participating in its change for the better. Those on the side of evil (or themselves), like the human race itself, are the minority of these beings (with the exception of demons, which are often behind most of the atrocious acts in human history), and often operate in by themselves, in small cells or with the help of humans, whether they be knowing or unknowing.
The gods of this universe, while many, often keep themselves out of mortal's affairs, having their own affairs to deal with, living in the realms of the dead and all. The creator of this universe is unknown even by the so-called 'immortal beings' of the many dimensions they inhabit, though many believe that he is the abrahamic god that many people put their faith in. Most of the supernatural beings that come from these realms, whether they be angels or demons, are often dissidents of those realms who come to the land of the living in order to live there under their own rules, or to do their own thing. Most of the lower-teir demons (and some of the higher-teired demons) often come to the land of the living in order to take it for themselves, while some of the others wanted to warp humanity for their own twisted purposes. The good-aligned demons that came to the realm of the living often wanted to live their lives in peace, wanted to live among good company or wanted to be good period. The angels that came to Earth, on the other hand, were often the types that disagreed with the ways of the gods, and wanted to shape the world and do good on their own terms. Others, like the some of the demons, wanted to live amongst good company or live alone in peace. It was very rare for an angel to be aligned with evil, however.
The RP itself would start with a gathering of supernatural beings responding to a secret call in America to be part of an alliance of heroes, but due to the originals being so spread out and all around the world, they are making a rally call for some new meat before training and beginning operations. While people could play almost any race they want, it has to have a good reason. Normal superheroes are good, but there's gotta be a damn good reason why you're playing an angel, demon, alien or non-superpowered person (or a robot for that matter). They have a sanctuary based in Colombia, which used to be huge mansion property under the ownership of a cartel leader that was taken down by the original heroes. Most of the training and slice-of-life stuff would take place there, though a whole lot of missions would take place abroad (and I would be doing thorough research on said places so I can give them each their own unique atmosphere). I'll come up with more details as I build this RP, and as you guys ask questions and show interest.
Playable characters are that of heroes and neutrals that are part of the alliance. I'm mainly doing this so the RP would be easier for me to manage, as it would be difficult to keep track of villains and other people who are outside of the alliance along with those who are inside the alliance. The villains are all going to be played by me. You guys can play Neutrals and Heroes, but again, leave the villains to me. However, you guys are FREE to give me ideas of what kind of villains to bring into this RP for you guys to fight, so please, feel free to send them to me! :D I want you guys to be playing lower-tiered characters too so they would have time to grow, develop and become more powerful as the RP/story goes on. I also encourage drama, romance, relationships and all of that in between character so I want to have that going along with the adventure so it won't be too boring.
Common sense rules and all of that. I'll list more stuff here as they come to me, and as you guys ask questions. Please tell me what you would like to see, and please ask me questions about stuff that I might have missed! I hope to make this a real RP someday so please tell me whether or not you are interested. And please, for the love of god... don't hit it and quit it.
Also this is x-posted from the Casual Interest Checks because this RP is within "High Casual", as it walks the line in between Casual and Advanced RPs.
