First off, I would like to mention that this RP has been named in honor of the first Superhero RP I was ever in. That was a wonderful RP that became one of the largest roleplays of its respective site by the efforts and creativity of all participating members. I genuinely hope that this RP will be able to live up to its namesake, and be a long lasting, enjoyable, and imaginative RP.


And now for the actual OOC business...

Welcome to Arcus, a vast place where, aside from regular citizens, many superheroes and villains have come to live and fight crime or establish bases of operation and carry out evil schemes. Arcus is large enough to measure up to the size of a small country, and is divided into six districts. There's always something going on here, but activity isn't reserved to just the surface world. With such an expanse overworld, there's always an even larger underground where stranger things seem to be happening. Will you be a hero who fights for the good of all, or a villain who fights against good and only desires to further personal desires? Perhaps none of these, but the choice is up to you.

So as if you couldn't guess by the name, in this RP you are able to create your own hero or villain. Original characters are encouraged for this roleplay, but you'll still definitely be free to use concepts from already existing universes such as Marvel and DC to make your characters. By this I mean you can have your character be a member of a Lantern Corp, an individual using Iron Man like armor, etc.

If you're wondering where the plotline for this RP is, that's what I aim for this to be the fun part of. Players will be free to begin their own arcs/plots so long as they are inclusive to the other participants. Want to have your villain begin his scheme for world domination? Go for it. Want your hero to drag others in his/her fight against their arch nemesis? Again, go for it. So long as it is decent, I'm sure it'll be fun for everyone!
By and by however, I'll be introducing storylines for everyone else to follow, so be sure to follow along with any updates I may have!

Now for the rules of this RP:



Okay! So here is the general format for applications:

A map of Arcus, along with some details of its sectors.



1st-2nd: These are the wealthiest and most technologically advanced sectors of Arcus. They are dotted by large cities and are the sectors where almost all of the technology of Arcus is developed. Famous research and developments centers are located here, but there are also several junkyards around the corners of these sectors where prototype or failed inventions and experiments have been dumped. There are also rumors of special underground facilities that develop dangerous weapons and even carry out biological experiments to create new metahumans or creatures. The politicians that live in Sectors 1-2 have denied these rumors though, although there is quite a bit of evidence suggesting otherwise.

3rd-4th: The "middle class" districts (per Arcus standards), these are the districts that more closely resemble "normal" cities such as New York, but are smaller than the cities of the 1st and 2nd districts. Aside from these though, the 3rd and 4th districts have several suburban areas.

5th: A large part of Arcus that is still middle class, but less wealthy than the 3rd and 4th districts. This sector become more and more agrarian the deeper one gets into it, as it does more and more impoverished.

6th: A small part of Arcus that has been the center of much speculation. Not many people live deeper within this sector, and it is reported to be the site where many strange things have occurred.

Time for my usual character for these type of Rps

Name: Peter Cole was born

Alias: Hawk

Gender: Male

Age: 25

Powers/Abilities: He can control and manipulate electrical fields. Using it he can fire electricity from his hands. Fly but only for a bit. He is working on trying to move objects with his electricity. He is still mutating. However he has one major weakness. Water. His powers go haywire in the presence of it.
Electrical Manipulation.

Personality: he is a nice guy. Well Pere is. Hawk can be a bit cold and uncaring so long as he saves the day. It is a constant battle to control it. He always tries to be a nice guy. Pete is seen as a bit of a playboy but that is an act. He is a nice guy but there is clearly something wrong.

Backstory: Pete was born in Helios City to Nathan and Jennifer Cole. He did not know this at the time but his father was the original Hawk. Pete had inherited all of his fathers old powers and his responsibilities. So when his parents died in an explosion about two years ago it became Pete's job to protect Helio City from those that would wish to take it over. He also inherited his family's technology company. His father had made it after he had discovered his powers. So Pete has a lot on his plate of he wants to survive. Will he? Time will tell.

Alignment status: Good. A bit of a crusader.

I love these kind of supernatural roleplays. I would love to join this.

Name: Katherin Winter

Alias: Flames

Gender: Female

Age: 21

Powers/Abilities: Fire

Personality: Katherin is a caring girl. She will go out of her way to help someone, no matter who they are. Katherin believes that telling the truth is important above all things. She takes her responsibilities as a hero seriously.

Backstory: Katherin doesn't know who her parents are. She bounced from foster home to foster home until she was 18. Old enough to be on her own Katherin enrolled into the local college. That was when she discovered her abilities. Katherin always knew she was different, but she never knew how or why. When she caught her boyfriend having sex with her roommate Katherin accidently set the dorm room on fire. Luckily no one was seriously hurt. Now Katherin is wondering what to do with herself.

Alignment Status: Crusader all the way.

Name: Markus Flane

Alias: The Observer

Gender: Male

Age: 20

Powers/Abilities: Markus' powers are all related to his eyesight. He has the vision of a hawk and can notice great detail. He can also use a 'Mindsight' so to speak, projecting his field of vision from his body to anywhere within 20 meters. However when his field of vision is removed from his normal vision, he cannot see his immediate surroundings and is vulnerable. As for his natural abilities, he is quite intelligent and skilled at persuasion, having a silver tongue that needed no supernatural assistance.

Personality: Whilst living normally with his secret identity, Markus doesn't seem very spectacular, but acts generously and seems selfless. When donning the mask of the observer though is a different story. Markus suddenly becomes indifferent to most things in life, only seeming to observe. He never initiates combat, but simply collects information for an unknown purpose.

Backstory: Markus was born in death. His mother died giving birth, and unnaturally for a newborn, Markus was not crying in his birth. Just looking at his mother's dead body, blinking, his twin sister crying next to him. Markus' father was barely 18, Markus' birth being an accident of which the details will not be shared. Markus learned how to be independent quickly, and did his best to help himself and his twin sister Martha learn as much as they can. When Markus was in his first year of college on scholarship one day he came home to no Martha. It was later found she was kidnapped. In great pain and desperation he tried to visualise where she was, and his mind blurred with his vision, coming to see a cold, bloody dead face in a gutter. Shocked and traumatised, he ran towards the direction his vision blurred to until he collapsed. He was taken by a few people on their way to a place called the Arcus District, where a whole manner of interesting people were said to reside.

Alignment Status: Neutral, has a lot of rage, could be swayed to either side, either an anti-hero to the types of criminals who kidnapped and killed his sister or letting all his rage out and becoming evil, not caring who receives his rage

I think a Waffle Tomato Toaster Oven is an Oven with a Toaster used to toast Waffly Tomatoes.

"I'm trying to control it... but with each passing day, it breaks through my insanity... It knows I'm growing weaker."


Name: Zed Brand

Alias: Predator

Gender: Male

Age: 19

Powers/Abilities: Insanity's Evolution(This will be a long one :D)









Personality: Zed is a cheerful albeit loner individual. He can seemingly talk to others but he avoids making friends and more. In addition, Zed is also quite unstable, making him do random jibbers and mannerisms which others might consider weird. As a street cleaner, Zed is particular about neatness and has the tendency to condemn people who dirty the environment. As a poor individual, Zed is very thrifty when it comes to earning money and buying stuff, only buying what is needed. While Zed is quite brave, he is often passive in order to protect everyone from the beast that lies within.

Backstory: It is said that only a few can work in a toxic factory which works with animal DNA, and furthermore, it is said that only a handful of those few can work inside the toxic room itself. In that toxic room, disposed and decayed DNA of various animals are treated in large collections of waste tanks which are cleansed and turned into oil for general development. The toxic room itself is quite poisonous with its acidic air and humidity, but with enduring individuals, it can be weathered for a high pay. One of these individuals was Zed. Zed was an orphan who fought his way to working for cash. Starting as a street cleaner, Zed worked his way up until he was able to find a high paying job there at the factory. By nature, Zed is an extremely hardworking person, and never relented taking pride in his job as a Toxic Manager inside the area. Due to this, his superiors frequently praised his work which earned him the envy of his peers.

It is said that envy is a monster that consumes people. The cup had overflowed. Zed's peers got enough of his existence and pushed him into a vat of toxic waste after a series of good punches. The workers jeered happily as they went off to their merry lives. They thought it was the fool's end, however, life likes to prove people wrong.

After a few moments, a figure rose from the vat, covered in green ooze. It was Zed. Zed was alarmed as he hurried back to his shack and examined himself. When he sighed in relief as he found no change, he began to feel weird... Long story short, the fool found relief in covering his skin... It seems that the mixed DNA reacts to direct exposure to sunlight or any external matter and can only be suppressed by the aid of bandages or gauze. Zed was fired from his company as he was deemed 'incapable' and no one believed his story... Knowing that his mutation was something that the world would shun, he opted for a life of secrecy... choosing to work as a lowly cleaner of the streets. Secretly wishing that with every swipe of his worn-out broom, he would be able to clean the filth that snares his humanity.

Alignment Status: Neutral but has a greater tendency to align for Good.

Waffle, Tomato, Toaster or Oven? Yes Please.

Accepted, welcome aboard!

Seems like we have quite a bit of heroes. Villains are now encouraged, as well as more chaotic antiheroes willing to fight heroes and villains alike.

As for a starting plotline... who's up for an alien invasion?

You can add the new character if you wish, but don't feel pressured into doing two characters at once if you think it'll be a bit difficult.

Hey there guys mind if I join? :)

Name: Susannah Marksin

Alias: MindWarp

Gender: Female

Age: 19

Powers/Abilities: The Ability to warp minds, AKA Mental manipulation
+ Psionic Inundation = Ability to overload another's mind, causing pain and/or lack of consciousness.
+Psionic shockwaves = A devastating Psionic attack that wracks the minds of all nearby foes. Affected foes may be left Disoriented. A second wave may affect motor functions leading to possible paralysis. A third may well be fatal. But she has not been able to create a third.
+ Illusions = The power to create and manipulate illusions.
+ Mental shield = Because of her ability of mental manipulation she has an immunity against direct mental attacks, though telepaths could still hypothetically enter her mind, they are most likely to lose their own in the process.
Weakness: Hand to hand combat and brute strength.
- Robots = they don’t have a mind to manipulate.
-Other mental manipulators. Powers will equal each other out.

Personality: What she lacks in physical strength, MindWarp more than makes up for in her cunning intelligence. Everything she does has a purpose, unless she is just angry and finds that her actions need no greater purpose other than venting. Although it will take a lot more than mere words to anger her. MindWarp is rather aloof in temperament, but a remarkable trickster in that she can morph into different personas and use them for her benefit. For example, pleading to have her ‘dearest fathers’ room number and key to set up a surprise birthday party. AKA get an important businessman’s room number and key then steal all-important information and/or set up a self-destructing device for his termination.
In her off times, MindWarp contemplates reality and illusion but always comes up with the same response, “what is reality but a higher plane of illusion?”

Backstory: Born in an upstate apartment to wealthy parents, Susannah was often left alone with the house keeper until her parents returned at 5pm. When she was five her brother was born and any attention she might have received from her parents was taken away and replaced. It was also around this time that her powers were coming into effect and she used them to vie for attention. The stronger her powers became the more horrified her parents got until one day they had enough. They sent her with her housekeeper on a trip to the slums but by the afternoon the housekeeper returned alone and was given a substantial amount of pay added to her usual salary. What happened to Susannah after that was anyone’s guess. (She obviously moved in with the almighty Waffle Tomato Toaster Oven).

Alignment Status: A villainous villain. But for the right cause she will fight alongside heroes.

Name:
Elizabeth Matthews
Alias:
Shift
Gender:
Female
Age:
22
Powers/Abilities:
Eli has the ability to transform into any kind of animal that she has seen before. The process is extremely painful and long, putting her body in great stress. Once in the animal state, she cannot speak, but she can understand what other people and animals are saying. She can also perform actions that particular animal can do, but she must first adapt to her new body. Upon the first transformations, Eli will have the same capabilities as a baby. With more practice however, she can control even the smallest twitch of an ear. Shifting back into a human is the same as turning into an animal - gruesome. Without her power, she is like a normal university student - going to class, working a part-time job, hanging out with friends. Transformation, however, sometimes happens at random and she can shift during these regular activities.
Personality:
Eli tries not to let her power define who she is and tends to ignore it (though it's pretty hard to ignore when it happens). She is quiet and laid-back. For the most part, she appears to be happy and satisfied with her life. She is also a great listener but a terrible speaker. She thinks too much and when she figures out what she can say, the opportunity has gone and slipped away. Eli masks the pain that her power brings, as well as any sort of negative emotion that she feels. She dislikes being pitied and loves being around people.
Backstory:
For as long as she could remember, Eli lived with her father. He was always working to support her, not allowing the two to have some father-daughter time. It was rare for her father to have a break, but when he did, the two would go out and have fun, sharing their stories from the past days they didn't see each other. One day, Eli was playing in the nearby park. She was chasing after squirrels and chipmunks, climbing up trees and scaling rocks. The other children were in the playground, playing with the park equipment. Their parents were watching them from the benches. Away from their supervision, Eli continued to rough around with the animals instead of the kids. As she was climbing one particular tree, she knocked over a bird's nest. She didn't realize what had happened until minutes later, when she plopped back onto the ground. Just a few feet from the trunk lay broken twigs that led to the nest. There was one egg inside. The others were scattered around the grass, cracked and broken. Eli began sobbing as she picked up the nest with the single egg and returned it to its place on the branch. She sat beside it, tears rolling down her face. Before she knew it, an owl, most likely the mother bird, appeared. Eli noticed her and sputtered out apology after apology. The owl glanced at the egg and then at Eli. She ruffled her feathers and hopped closer to Eli. She patted Eli's knee with her wing, as if comforting her. Lightly pecking her knee once, the owl shook her wings out, taking Eli by surprise. She lost her balance and fell off the tree, screaming on the way down. She blacked out midway. From what she could recall, she could see glimpses of the parents and a few of the kids, larger than normal. They weren't looking straight at her, but they were close by. She lost consciousness again, only to wake up at the base of the tree. The sky was dark and the park was silent. When Eli looked up, the nest was no longer there. She trudged back home, her whole body aching. When she arrived, her father opened the door. His eyes were red and his hair was disheveled. He was quiet for a minute, before giving her a tight hug. It was explained later to Eli that she had gone missing two days prior, at the park.
Unknown to her at the time, she was an owlet, hidden under a leaf. The mother owl was feeding her from time to time until she transformed back into a little girl. The owl watched as Eli unconsciously chirped in pain, and as a human, groaning in pain. She flew away moments before Eli opened her eyes. It was the beginning of the series of events of Eli's shape shifting. The second time she transformed was at midnight a week later. She was screaming and crying, but no one came to help. Her father was working a night shift. When she no longer felt pain, she wondered what had happened and tried to sit up. It was difficult, but she dismissed it as the mysterious pain. She saw that everything in her room was bigger and thought she was dreaming. But, she realized that it was midnight and she was able to see things clearly. Looking down, Eli saw a furry stomach and paws. She had transformed into a kitten. She sat there in confusion until her body began heating up. She could hear distressed mewls coming from her mouth, which slowly faded into shouts of agony. After that, she kept transforming at random, though she did her best to run away from the public eye when she began feeling pain. A few weeks later, Eli figured out what was happening - though without explanation - and learned how to suppress the random shifting and control it.
As a side note, Eli hates her power and wishes it would disappear.
Alignment Status:
Neutral, but she may be swayed to either side during the RP.

I feel like my profile is a bit 'fantasy-like', so if you want me to change anything, I'll gladly do it.
(edit: woah there i think i got carried away with that backstory. i didn't know it'd be that long.)

Do we mind? YES GET OUT >:(
Nah, jk xD. You're accepted. In this case I would actually suggest adding something in like the ability to create psionic shockwaves or something of the sort. There is a possibility that there will be characters who are immune or highly resistant to mental barrages. Of course, this is up to you. Feel free to keep it as is if you'd like!

A few weeks later, Eli figured out what was happening - though without explanation - and learned how to suppress the random shifting and control it.As a side note, Eli hates her power and wishes it would disappear.Neutral, but she may be swayed to either side during the RP.I feel like my profile is a bit 'fantasy-like', so if you want me to change anything, I'll gladly do it.(edit: woah there i think i got carried away with that backstory. i didn't know it'd be that long.)


Accepted. Don't worry about the fanatasy thing, there are quite a bit of similar elements of magic and stuff in both DC and Marvel.
