All Together Now



"There was an idea..." - Nick Fury, The Avengers



Something is happening. The world is changing - everybody knows it on some level, though most don't know just how weird things have gotten lately. Maybe you've seen the footage of the girl with the dragon wings carrying people out of a burning building, or watched that government press conference where the suits swore up and down that all claims of monsters on the city streets of Washington D.C. were nonsense. Maybe something else happened. The point is, the rules of nature aren't playing like they used to, and nobody knows whether that's going to be a good thing, or a very, very bad one.




If you've made it this far, hopefully I've piqued your curiosity. I am looking for up to five players to join me in a Superhero RP concerning a world very like ours in the midst of becoming very unlike ours, as technological and supernatural forces have begun popping up out of nowhere and leveling city blocks. Players will create and play as individuals, empowered by science, magic, technology, biology, or anything else they can think of, who have recently arrived on the stage of superheroism and must band together to face off against a world-threatening evil. In terms of plot and tone, think very similarly to the MCU's first Avengers movie; a small group of heroes who have already had their origin stories and faced off against a personal villain or two banding together to form the first superhero team, changing the world they live in forever in so doing. I'd like the story to last longer than the first big final showdown of the first arc and branch off into other stories as well, in addition to delving into the personal lives of the heroes and focusing heavily on them as characters and how they get along with one another.

In terms of character creation, just about anything goes. Be a space alien, be a genius billionaire, be a wizard or a mutant or an experiment gone horribly wrong. Or one gone perfectly right! The choice is yours. Writing style is advanced and grammar is a necessity - if you're worried you might not be able to hack it but you like the idea and the story, send me a message, I'm always happy to offer advice or constructive criticism. Finally, I'd like for all the players and the characters to be deeply involved in the construction of the story and the world, so if you have any ideas, feel free to share them.

I hope, if you've made it this far, you're as excited for this adventure as I am. If you have questions, comments, interest or anything else, please leave it below!

So... I'm interested in this.

My only question right now is what kind of posting rate are you looking for? Is it an every day/other day kind of deal or more laxed and casual? A post every 10 days, etc?

I just want to be honest with you that my posting rate can take a bit longer sometimes, I'm more in line with the one post in at least a 10 day span kind of rate, so I don't want to be that guy that slows everyone down!

This does look and sound super interesting, plus it being in the Advanced, makes me even more excited!

Generally, I'll be hoping for roughly one post a week, though I don't have super strict rules about post length, just quality, so just a paragraph or two to respond to dialogue is fine if it's all you can do. I'm pretty relaxed about stuff in general, and I'm glad to see the interest, so I encourage you to join along for the ride!

I may quite possibly be interested. A diverse group of misfits coming together is always a good time.

Piqued my interest, although the superheroes I've created in the last few years are for gritty realistic superhero RPs and not for bouncy happy superhero fun times. I'll see if I have any on my roster who can fit here.

Awesome to see all the interest! The OOC is still chugging along, but I'll make the effort to get the CS done tonight and post it here so y'all can get started. The RP will not be first come, first serve - submissions will close on July 9th (subject to negotiation if that really won't work for y'all), and then I'll announce who will be accepted.

It's funny, but I've got a girl with dragon wings, if you want her.

Definitely has my interest.

Will you be using a system, or is this freeform?

Alright! CS template is complete, have at it! Below is the character I'll be playing, so you can use her as an example of what I'm looking for.

Small world! Yeah, that was actually a reference to my character, as you've probably guessed, but hey. The more the merrier.

Definitely has my interest.

Primarily freeform. When things get particularly chaotic there will be some organization, but not much - say there's a big team battle with a whole army of guys, I'll probably split them into groups and people can claim different ones to take out in OOC. Stuff like that, but mostly freeform.

Definiate interest is sparked within me. I have a character in my repertoire that I think would fit well with this.

If it's set in the year 2020 and you're character was born in 2004, shouldn't she be 16?

... Yes! I meant to fix that. This character is a holdover from a game set in 2024 that never got off the ground. Good catch!
