I'm a huge fan of the superhuman/superhero genre, as well as numerous others including sci-fi, drama, mystery, ect, and I've had an interesting idea to spin all of that together.

Bare with me this is a pretty interesting idea, but here's the basic premise. I want to set the RP in a semi-modern setting, and set it in the "real" world. I'd set the RP time-line somewhere around 2015-2016 in real time, and go from there. The basic premise would be about several individuals of different walks of life gaining superhuman abilities inspired by their personality traits and innermost desires. An example could be a travel agent struggling to make ends meets who wants to see the world gaining the power to teleport, or a psychology professor who gains the ability to read the minds of others and delve into their minds to truly find out what makes people tick.

Anyway, the concept would be various people gaining superhuman abilities, and what their willing to do with them. My idea is people gain these abilities after a secret Government project goes awry, and as a result is the cause of the abilities. The twist would be that the technology used for their experiment is re-engineered technology taken from a super advanced alien race that planned to invade earth, and subjugate humanity to their rule.

So in short the plot would revolve around our characters those who gain powers, and the non powered individuals who deal with the rapidly changing world around them, and the secrets of the government project coming to light as they struggle to deal with the repercussions of both their experiment, and inadverantely getting the attention of said alien advanced race that still has a bone to pick with earth since their first attempt to rule failed.

Anyone interested in this mix of power in the modern world, with a sprinkle of sci fi?

Note: I made an interest check for this RP a while back, but due to being in a severe car accident and hospitalized never was able to get along to starting it, so if anyone from the original wishes to join feel free as I won't be absent this time around haha.

@ParagonX Hey my old friend I'm in. :)

Ok perfect! :)

I'm really glad you are giving this a go again, I really liked the CS I came up with last time so I might update it a little and use it again. I do love luck powers :P

This sounds really great. I need to start brainstorming some ideas for a character.

I might be interested. I've never done a superpower rp before, so this might be a good one to cut my teeth on.

I think I may be interested in this. I've been looking for a good super rp lately and have an idea for a character. Can I call dibs on "light control/manipulation" ?

@Subject Zero Yessir, haha feel free to have it! I await your profile my friend. :)

I'm interested!!

We could still use a couple more people! Glad for the interest this has already gotten though!

Why not.

Haha Great! Glad people are getting interested.

I'd be down for this

I've been looking for a good hero RP

I'd be interested! Maybe even in playing a governmental advocate against the free reign of these superhumans because they're dangerous, man.

Would this be similar to Marvel's Neflix series (half assuming because of the Luke Cage icon)? 'Cause I love the modern-reality factor they have.

Whoo hoo! Interest! Haha.

@Kidd Well I wasn't exactly thinking of Luke Cage when I created the RP, but now that you mention it that's the type of realism I'm striving to have in this RP. The concept of modern day realism with super powers just seems interesting and has plenty of plot material.

Also your idea for a character is great, and we'd need someone like that!

Just how realistic are you looking for though? I ask because I kind of pictured my light guy actually becoming a being of "hard light" when he uses his powers. Is that too unrealistic?

@Subject Zero When I say realistic, I mean the way the world reacts to the people with powers, and how the people with powers act. The powers themselves can be pretty fictional, so light manipulation can be similar to the way it is in most comics, movies ect, dosen't have to be uber-realistic, especially considering the powers will evolve over time to be really strong. The OOC is up by the way! So the way you have your power is just fine.
