Long Beach City has always been known for its beach, shopping district, and overall sunny weather. Many events, such as the annual Long Beach Grand Prix, are held in this skyscraper city. It has also been known for its rampant gang activity, with new and old gangs merging and fighting, creating more trouble than the police can handle. Many people believe the police have been persuaded by money and drugs to let many of these crimes slip right under their noses.

Citizens have been getting fed up with the treatments from these thugs, but their Neighborhood Watch programs do nothing but put targets on people just wanting to help out. This is where our characters come into play. Our characters are all victims of crimes done by these gangsters and thieves. One day, while all of them are relaxing and hanging out together, one mentions a crime that happened to them recently. They all describe petty, or big, crimes that have been enacted upon them. The group decides that they've had enough of this and vow to protect the streets of Long Beach at whatever costs!

The problem is...



Our heroes will dawn masks and capes, attempting to protect the city with whatever weapons, skills, or knowledge they can bring to the table. As they patrol the big city and stop crimes, they learn what it means to become a hero, how to balance their own morals with each others, and how the sacrifices can take a toll on their physical and emotional health.



The beginning of the plot will establish our characters as a close group of friends (ages 18-22, all out of high school) who have all been affected by the rising crime rate. It can be as simple as having a wallet pick-pocketed, to going Batman and having their parents killed right in front of them, to having their car stolen! They all express their anger and after discussion, come to the conclusion that because half of the police don't do much and the other half are crooked, they have to take manners into their own hands and become the force of good the city needs!

Their first patrol will have them clumsily walking through the streets at 1 AM in little more than exercise clothes and masks. They will encounter their first crime and learn that being vigilantes is not a joke!



If you're interested please let me know with a loose idea for a character! We will only need about 4-5 people total, at least to start out. Thanks for reading this, and I hope to write with you soon!

@1Hawkeyes interested sounds like a fun rp

@Jasper19 Awesome! Thank you! :)

@1Hawkeyes welcome kind of reminds me of kickass in a way

@Jasper19 Haha! Yeah it definitely has a tone of Kickass, except this is more light hearted. And will probably lack the awesome costumes for a while, at least while the characters try to get into the grove of things! XD

@1HawkeyesXD cool! Can't wait sounds fun!

Ey, this looks like a cool RP. I'm on board for it.

I was thinking maybe a gymnast type of character, probably female, who was in a bank robbery as one of the hostages and she got out fine but the man beside her didn't. And ever since then, she's been starting to dabble in parkour so she could get away if anything else ever happened around her.

She isn't a fighter but damn she can run.

I had a character that was in an RP like this. Would be happy to bring him back. A baseball bat wielding, high school delinquent who has a passion for breakdancing, skateboarding and kicking teeth in.

@Polaris North I think that's an awesome idea for a character! She would be especially valuable to the group since she could teach them simple parkour in case they ever need to escape too!

@DJAtomika Heck yeah! Every team needs a badass, especially one who can breakdance!

Definitely Interested!

Please tell me this is the group of close highschool friends that people don't know why they're friends because everyone is polar opposites and normally these kinds of people would never associate themselves with one another but for some reason they're tighter than any family

Yes please I like this aesthetic

I'd be up for this. Throwing my hat into the digital ring.

Before I come up with any definite ideas, what's our definition of hero? 'Cause I mean if the justice system is as messed up as is implied, how long before the vigilantes end up as rogues?

@Polaris North @DJAtomika Yes it's definitely that sort of group! They all just kind of came together and became great friends for whatever odd reason. Definitely your "Breakfast Club" type of group. :)

@cosmicangler Awesome!

@Ceta de Cloyes Well the definition of "hero" varies from character to character. Some may see a hero as the people in comics, others may see a hero as someone who does anything they can to help others, hey, maybe they see a hero as someone who kills to take criminals off the streets. That's sort of the point of this RP. Each teen has their own view of heroism and their own morals. They will have to develop their morals and ideas as individuals and as a group.

Okay, I've got big big ideas now :P

I'm thinking I might roll a pair of characters, either siblings or a couple, that are like mafia-esque underlings but they're totes insurgent and want to take down their parents for more or less benevolent reasons. They'd play up their "goody two shoes born in the house of the big bad" sob story to win the others' trust but it wouldn't be that much of a stretch on the truth. How does that sound??

I'm also totes willing to help by plotting up and fleshing out the rest of the syndicate for more villains to pound on lmao

Yush, different dynamics inside a group is the best~

For what it's worth, I'm planning for my gymnast to be somewhere in the popular athlete side because she's been doing gymnastics and competing in it since she was a kid but in turn, she's an average student all in all.

Probably that one friend who has a pretty tight schedule but somehow still goes to hang outs regularly. Maybe the group has even watched her compete before.

@Ceta de Cloyes That sounds pretty awesome! We can definitely develop that into something bigger for the storyline!

@Polaris North Sounds great, I like that! I'm sure the group would have been to as many of her competitions as they could!

Oh man, I'm imagining this group in a sort of break chapter just sewing up their respective costumes and having trouble deciding between fashion and pizzazz or practicality and functionality

up until they realize that vigilante work isn't about showmanship like the superhero movies show

With everything we're going for here, I'm fairly certain I'm gonna go for a more protective style character. Probably someone who when out and about carries some sort of makeshift shield as their weapon. Also a large supply of plasters and other stuff. Doing their best to keep the others out of danger and the like.
