• Number of players: up to 6 for this first go-round. If anyone drops out, I'll open the slot for anyone else who wants to join later.

• Number of characters per player: 1, at first - we'll add more later if things go well

• Approximate power level: As an example, Spider-Man more than Superman - certainly no powers that can solve problems or win battles entirely on their own, and try to keep creative with the use of powers rather than just blast or slam everything into oblivion. I'll be the final judge if I feel something is unbalanced.

• Variety of characters: Humans, aliens, androids, robots, otherdimensional creatures, anthros (or furries) - with or without powers. Whatever you think would add spice to the RP and to any relationships that might develop in it! As far as the good/evil spectrum go, I'd prefer the main characters be heroes to keep them from fighting too much among themselves, but if we add more characters down the road or if the story dictates, I'd be willing to let players run villains, either for longer-term plots or one-shots.

• Tone/Content: We're going for cinematic, here - Rule of Cool and Rule of Fun will apply in moderation. I also want to keep this RP relatively family-friendly and fairly upbeat, which means a minimum of blood, no gore, no "onscreen" sex or heavy references thereto. Will there be violence and death? Certainly! Will there be romance? I hope so! Just keep it to levels you might expect to see on a cartoon show about superheroes - for examples, the Avengers movies or the Young Justice cartoon.

• Pacing: I am not going to impose any mandatory time limits on posting, or any kind of posting order. That said, I'd like to keep it brisk and engaging, interesting for the group.

• Worldbuilding and Character Development: I have some stuff to start with, but ultimately, I want to work with you to make a fun and interesting world you'd like to come visit.

• A brief summary: Can you imagine a world that is Earthlike, but is not Earth? You know, your standard M-class planet - blue seas, green continents, and white clouds in the sky, that sort of jazz. Now, picture that it's in a similar solar system in a different part of the galaxy; that it has only five continents; that it is inhabited by not only humans, but anthropomorphic animals, aliens, robots, creatures from the celestial and abyssal pantheons of countless religions, monsters of mythology personified, and even beings from alternate dimensions. Add to this that even the mortal inhabitants are often born or gifted with special powers - mutant abilities, magical aptitude, psionic training, cybernetic enhancement, or even just the guts to fight against impossible odds. It is literally a world full of heroes.

And then this planet we are speaking of is rich in natural resources and located in a strategic location. It happens to be within the range of several different galaxy-spanning nations and organizations, and is intersected by several universal ley lines. This partly explains the heavy presence of non-natives, as well as the constant attention the planet receives. Alien invasions, giant monster attacks, apocalypse events, supervillain schemes, the manipulations of extra-planetary governments trying to bend the planet to their will through diplomacy or force - this has all happened in this planet's long and peril-filled history. Oh, and Godzilla was transferred here from Earth for safe-keeping.

You are picturing this world right now? Have it set in your mind? Good. Because there is a world like that, and its name is Faiza.

Intrigued.

Count me in. Super powered plots are like crack to me.

Certainly sounds interesting.
:o

Can't go wrong with the classics.

Interested, though I'm hoping you refine the subject material. It feels a little TOO broad at the moment.

interesting....

So deadpool powerset, yay or nay? Has an additonal weakness to CC effects.

I'm interested, but I have to see what kind of characters get accepted before I put in my hat.

@Tergonaut Also, are the faceclaims going to be anime, or real people?

Stalking mode initiated.

@MatthiasAngel - I'm hoping the intro post will define the scenario a little better, but I will try to work on defining this better.

@Mr Allen J - Anime faceclaims.

@Archmage MC - I'd have to know more about the character first to decide, but I'm leaning heavily towards no just on the basis that it's a one-liner description using an extremely popular-but-R-rated established character.

And, just to be a little more clear on character ideas, it'll probably work better for everyone if you propose a character beyond just the powers - powers are only the tools the character uses, but what's the character like? I haven't fully decided whether I will use a CS for this RP or not, but I'll need appearance, powers (if any), personality, maybe some generic background info, and at least one potential plot thread to follow through with the character. A paragraph's worth of information would be nice.

What I mean by "plot thread" is this: once the characters are established enough in the lodge, perhaps after the first short story arc, we could turn the attention to each of our characters in turn and have a short plot where that character is the "star." What if your character never knew who their parents were? Or is secretly an android who may have a mysterious manufacturer? Or if you have a mystical destiny to fulfill, but haven't done it yet? These stories would allow us to shift from a story-driven mode to a character-driven mode as the narrative fleshes out, and if I know more info about your characters, then I'll be able to set up scenarios where we can explore your character further.

@Tergonaut
Easy enough of conditions. How would we go about proposing such pitches?
Here or PM?

Either-or, depending on which you feel more comfortable with. Posting here would probably help group discussion and potential worldbuilding, as I will likely be constructing this world as we go along - first the lodge, then nearby Segaso City, then eventually the continent and then other continents, depending on how far the lodgers end up going in their adventures.

And, as an additional note for consideration - I'm thinking that the direction for this lodge will be as a place for the rest and rehabilitation of people with peculiar backgrounds that make them a little difficult for a standardized facility to handle. This place would be sponsored by Cybertronics Unlimited, a robotics/cybernetics/electronics company run by a charismatic and influential CEO who wants to use the lodge as a PR opportunity to reach out to the community (or, perhaps this is just a way to get troublemakers out of the way...or put them in a position where the company can use them for some other purpose...). This might give a little more focus when making characters.

@Tergonaut Oh, I'm only talking about powerset. She acts more like a smart toon in personality, while being a bit more passive vs anything that can talk. If you get a CS sheet up I can give ya something with that.

Interested...

I'll be keeping an eye on this when an OOC gets made, trying to figure out a character now

@Tergonaut Oh, I'm only talking about powerset. She acts more like a smart toon in personality, while being a bit more passive vs anything that can talk. If you get a CS sheet up I can give ya something with that.

I was waiting for you to mention Toon. U are forever trying to use Light. haha though, Deadpool is also kinda cartoonish since he breaks the 4th wall and all. lol why do you like the toon physics and toon theme so much? Don't you wanna try other concepts?

@Angel Eyes Don't get a chance to actually use her. Lots of GMs abandon RPs like 20-30 posts in which isn't any time at all.

I do participate in other RPs as other characters, its just a totally different genre :P.

interested
