Superheroes. The term evokes images of superhumans in caped costumes, battling against criminals and monsters to save the world. But, not all of the world's inhabitants are so distinctly placed on the ends of the moral spectrum. After all, one person's hero may be another's villain, and vice versa, while some may rest between the two extremes. All that can be said with certainty is that they are something more than human, and they are now real.

Why now? That is a mystery for another time. For now, the world must come to terms with the existence of superpowers, as daunting a task that may be. Will the masses cower before the mighty? Will they rise up to contain them? Will they try to convince them to work on their behalves? Will they lavish them with praises and curses, depending on their actions and notorieties? Of course they will, as people can be awfully predictable.

However, if you think this is a story where good triumphs over evil, you are sorely mistaken.
1. Have fun.
2. Whatever I say goes.
3. Do not be a douche.
4. Keep your smut private.
5. If you do not post for over a week, you will be permanently kicked from the roleplay, and your characters will become NPCs. This does not apply to players held up by inactive players, nor does it apply to those that give ample warning of inactivity. Should you need to go inactive for some time, and provide a notice, your characters will temporarily become NPCs.

Superhuman RP in a modern, non-superhero setting that has a bible reference? I'm in!

I'd tried to be in one of these before but it ended badly. I was not planning on reconsidering that position.

Buuuuuuut ... you came in here with Hidden Citizens and I am a sucker for that song.

I'll probably chip away at working out a new character. I would officially color me interested in a day or two when I drop a WIP version in here.

I am interested, in this. As long as real-life imagery for face claims isn't enforced, I will get a character up for sure.

This. I tend to like to make monster heroes and a real life sort of face claim isn't possible for these kinda things.

Would an eldritch origin sort of hero be ok for this setting or would that clash too much with the setting?

@Shard You do not need to have real life images for your character's appearance.

@Archmage MC Could you be more specific?

@Classy My brudda, what kind of powers are you looking for? Or do you want more general types?

@Ruler Inc I am not looking for anything specific. Expectations often lead to disappointment.

Then what about power level? Street tier oooorrr???

@Ruler Inc You are welcome to make "Superman tier" characters. Just keep in mind that the more powerful they are, the more likely they are to get targeted by those that oppose superhumans.

@Classy A character with a, non human but not ugly appearance with the powers of the eldritch or the Void. Not sure on the finer aspects of it, but creepy/insanity touch, reality stealing touch, personal wormholes, and/or some things from Hollow Knight.

@Archmage MC I think I would have to see a character sheet to make a judgement call on that.

I will start working in a character when I get home.

Colour me interested, whatever colour that is! <3 xx

It's coral

Interest~! I've never participated in an RP of this kind! I usually stick to Medieval/LOTR type rps, but this suits my fancy!
I'll have to take my current OC and make her a little more modernized, but it'll be a fun experiment!

Interested.

Tossing hat in the ring.

So basically anything goes, but the stronger the character, the more likely they may get targeted, right? So if a character's most notable trait is say, a superpower tied to intelligence or technology, would they slip under the radar, persay? Are aliens, or advanced androids accepted?

Asking since I'm just curious about what may or may not be okay. And seeing what, from my existing staples of past characters that haven't gotten off the ground, can be used for this. Should a writing sample be required, I can provide one when I get back from class.

@DocRock Regaring intelligence/technology powers, they may not be as easily detectable to conventional senses, but could still be as detectable as any other power when it comes to superhuman senses.

Aliens are not part of the setting, but androids may be created by characters with the right tools and skills.

I enjoy a good Superhero RP. Count me in.
