”Evil must be punished. Even in the face of armageddon, I will not compromise in this.” -Rorschach (Watchmen)



The year is 2016, and the world is imperiled. The Cold War rages, and is beginning to heat up. The United States, with its government focused single mindedly on being better than its enemies, has become a veritable cesspool of crime. Gun and gang violence is at an all-time high. There’s been a resurgence of organized crime. Rape, murder, theft, all are daily facts of life, nowhere more so than in the city of Ankora, in the Midwestern United States.

A relatively new city, Ankora started out as a farming town, but quickly became a bustling metropolis when several companies established headquarters in the city. Unfortunately, with the companies came the criminals. It wasn’t long before Ankora’s primary export became corpses.

The city’s police force proved unable to handle the problem. In fact, in several instances they caused the problems. Ankora, on the verge of collapse, prayed for heroes. Instead, they got high schoolers in Halloween costumes. The citizens of Ankora were understandably skeptical. To their surprise, those high schoolers who got their asses kicked by street thugs on weekends grew into fairly capable vigilantes. The original group of six grew into a massive, World-wide organization of Peacekeepers.

The Peacekeepers, as they took to calling themselves, was a group of a few hundred loosely affiliated Vigilantes, keeping the peace in their cities. The Peacekeepers lasted for about ten years, and for a good chunk of that time, the world actually saw some relative peace. Unfortunately, due to public fear over the power of the Peacekeepers, anti-Vigilante legislation, widespread corruption, and the death of two of the founding members, the Peacekeepers disbanded in 2006. It soon became illegal to be a non-government affiliated vigilante. Crime, corruption, and the constant threat of war hang over not just Ankora, or the U.S., but the whole world. Now, more than ever, the World needs Heroes.




Heyo! Welcome, RPers to my Watchmen-inspired RP. Here, I’d like to delve into a concept I don’t see very often in RP’s, non-superhuman heroes and society’s reaction to them. I’d like about five players (Not including myself). So, without further ado, let’s outline the world a bit more, shall we?





















And that’s what I’ve got so far, tell me, are you interested?




Theme

(I know, I could have used Desolation Row, but that would’ve been too easy. Granted, not that using a song featured in a different Alan Moore work takes much more effort.)

Watchmen is my favorite piece of fiction ever, it's an incredible work. I have actually had the idea of creating a RP inspired by it for awhile myself.

I'm very interested.

Been going back and forth on whether to express interest or not just because of school, work, other RPs, etc. So I just wanted to say that I'll keep my eye on this.
