So basically I’ve been on a big sports anime kick lately, Haikyuu!!, Kuroko No Basket, Yuri On Ice, Free. Now besides the homosexual undertones, they all make the sport they represent look even more supercharged than they are to watch normally. Every little move heightened, making even the most mundane play something exciting.
Now of course in something, especially like Kuroko No Basket. This leads to some moments that are pretty damn insane and probably not possible for even pro players, let alone high schoolers. So with that in mind I wanted to make a sports anime inspired RP, but we’re cutting the middleman. In this whole universe, people with superpowers co-exist with normal everyday folks. Superheroes aren’t really a thing, police and fire departments just hire the superpowered people who want to do good. Otherwise with a few small pockets of anti-superpowered people. There’s not really any friction between the two sides.
This does lead also to sports being cut down the middle. Instead of JV and Varsity teams, its Super and Normal divisions. The rules and set up is different for both divisions, and the equipment is more heavy duty for super play. Although each player in the super division wears a bracelet during play to hinder any advantages and keep things relatively even. The action is fast paced and more resembles an arcade sports game than anything the real world could produce. Both divisions play co-ed, and although normals have competed on super division teams, its only in cases where they’re legit extremely good and/or crazy enough to do it.
I don’t have a solid idea in mind for plot. I am willing to hear out ideas, since everyone’s characters are going to be important in some way to everything. It’s going to be action/comedy based, and I’ll probably implement some kind of small system for if moves or goal attempts work or not. I am going with football (soccer) because it's the easiest to set up, and I’ve been playing too much Rocket League lately. I am open to other possible sports though.
