"So, miss..."

"Maria. Maria Bianco."

"Miss Bianco. You're telling me that Herr Hitler is experimenting with... Superpowered individuals such as yourself, and that he is close to making a breakthrough that could tip the war irreversibly in his favour so that we can never recover? You are aware we are already in a terrible situation, yes? London is being bombed to oblivion, our army is in tatters, the Americans are still dilly-dallying over every opportunity to assist us in this war directly, the Russians are still engaged in one of the hardest campaigns in this war... In short, we are very close to having already irreversibly lost the war." The brigader looked at her tiredly, before flicking out a cigarette from his pocket and placing it in his lip. The Italian woman looked up at him, and he sighed, before handing over another one of the white sticks, offering a light to her.

"Thank you brigadier," said the pale woman, breathing in the smoke and holding it in her lungs, smiling pleasantly. "Yes, I am aware how this conflict is not exactly in your favour. What I am suggesting however..."

"That we beseech our allies for their own supernaturals and you, an Italian national and a member of the Italian Nazi party, a woman who has supposedly held conversations with Mussolini himself, should lead them into enemy lines in order to counter these experiments, experiments that we have no proof are happe-"

"Now brigadier, we both know the OSS have spies halfway across Europe. I would be greatly saddened if you hadn't heard even a whiff of Hitler's plans..."

"Very well Mrs. Bianco. I will tell you this plainly. You are not the first person to come over from the Italian side. You are also not the first person to claim what you are saying. Tell me then, why should I believe you when I have turned down others?"

"Well brigadier I can give you proof that there are these superhuman individuals... Like for example how these cigarettes are black market, naughty naughty. I assume the extra rashes of bacon and cheese in your briefcase were also obtained legally? Interesting too that you would have an illegal weapon, I wasn't aware that OSS officials could break the law..."

The brigadier looked at her dumbfounded, before waving her hand to dismiss the woman. "I will make the... Necessary arrangements for you to have your team. I will, however, be keeping a very close eye on you..."

So, now that we've gotten so much interest, which is nice, it's time to get busy in this wonderful world of superpowered people from across the world punching Nazi's across europe directly in the face, all whilst dealing with their german counterparts and Brigadier General John Carmond, who has an understandable grudge against Maria for blackmailing him into starting the Westminster organisation. The plan? Get paradropped into occupied Europe, and start making life hell for the Nazis.

@Mr Allen J @FantasyChic @ayzrules @mattmanganon @queentze @grueslayer @Simple Unicycle

I think this is a great idea but have no idea what my powers should be. I think I'll wait to see what other people do first and then kind of fill the void, so to speak.

Edit ah screw it I'm just gonna go for it

@Lady Selune I need to think on this, but I may be interested. It depends on how precisely things work, and if I feel like turning magic into something more sciency. I'm in another rp a lot like this, but it's...crawling, at best. =/

Any good? I hope I'm not being too flamboyant with this, I'm going for a sort of golden age superhero here like you would see from comics in the time period.

Hmm. I didn't really want big costumed superheroes, I know we're right in golden age but this is alternate universe; Superman, Captain 'Murica and all of those guys don't exist.

Pic's broken by the way.

Huh, pic shows up fine for me on my phone and my computer. Anyway I understand; that's why I tried to make him more down to Earth than those heroes would normally be (IE basically a homeless weirdo who no one really thinks is sane) but if it's too out there I'll try to think up something else.

Hmm... See the biggest issue I have is that he's a psychic. How would regular force field bubbles that he can expand sound?

@Lady SeluneI guess I'm not opposed to that, but what's the difference? I really only used psychic as shorthand for him conjuring them from nowhere.

Very generally, actual psychic superpowers are telekenesis, telepathy, mind-reading etc. Generally superpowers are metaphysical anyway, so specifying that his powers are metaphysical is kind of redundant.

@Lady SelunePsychic blasts and force fields are hardly a rare thing. Scanners, Second Sight, X-Files, Star Trek, etc all use them just off the top of my head.

Anyway rather than getting hung up on the semantics of fictional powers, I'm just gonna back out of this. I hope you have a good game regardless.

I've got some ideas. Mind if I join?

Aw. Shame.

Of course!

@Lady Selune psychic/psionic is sometimes magic, sometimes superhero. In this case, Green Lantern would be a comicbook hero with forcefields used to create objects.

Given that I was likely considering someone who used mental fortitude and force of will to use her powers, most likely, I'm not sure if I'm still interested. What precisely separates the two? Is it just the choice of word, or is it the power itself?

I was considering manipulation of force -- so force blasts (explosions without the boom), pulling/pushing objects with them (though no fine control), and barriers (a repelling force). They all use the same power, just utilized in different ways.

That would technically be telekinesis if there was no discernible reason for the moving, but if they exerted some kind of solid matter or utilised air/gravity/super magic, that would be fine.

Hello, I'm assuming it's alright to add a CS when I get the chance? I might even type one up tonight as this RP has me very interested.

@Lady Selune telekinesis affects the object directly. Force manipulation creates a force that is then exerted -- which is why this can do shields and TK cannot. Excellent, though. Still not certain about joining, but concept is approved~!

Indeed it is!

So...do I need to make an application to try and join this RP and then a character sheet or can I just plop in here, say hello and then make the app for my char?

For a start, hey. I'll mark you down as interested, so you can make the sheet whenever.
