The city of Wilacrik is in for a wild ride when mild-mannered reporter Lilian finds himself the object of affection for not just one, but two of the city's most powerful metahumans. On one side is [hero], the dashing and heroic protector of the city, who risks life and limb to keep its citizens safe from harm. On the other is the nefarious [villain], a brilliant but unhinged supervillain who plots to take over the city through his ingenious schemes. These two have been sworn enemies for years, clashing in epic battles that leave Wilakrick's streets in ruins. But now, a new battleground has emerged - the heart of the unassuming Lilian.

At first, it's a competition for Lilian's attention, with [hero] and [villain] trying to one-up each other with increasingly bold romantic gestures. But when the clever reporter reveals he has feelings for them both, things take a turn. To avoid losing Lilian, [hero] and [villain] must keep the peace, which proves difficult as they try to maintain their public personas as diametric foes. Through tense truces and private rendezvous, the two slowly become friends, bonding over their mutual love for the plucky reporter.

Soon, another surprise arises - [hero] and [villain] find themselves developing romantic feelings for each other! Now, these two find their hearts entangled in a complex love triangle, or perhaps more accurately, a love triangle rapidly becoming a love triad. Can sworn enemies set aside their differences and past conflicts to embrace an unexpected but powerful love between not just two, but three? The course of true love never did run smooth, but for the sake of their shared love for Lilian, [hero] and [villain] just may be able to build a new future together and become the most unlikely of trios. What happens next promises to be Wilacrik's greatest love story yet!





Hi, so, yeah. We got a funny little love story about a hero, a villain, and a reporter, and it's the gayest thing ever /pos
I'm looking for TWO people, someone to play hero, and another to play villain, and I'll be the reporter.
This will NOT be FCFS, I'm looking for solid writing and characters, so show me what you got!

NOTES:
  • This IS intended to be M x M x M so if you can't do a gay/bi male character, in the nicest way possible, please go somewhere else, lol, Li is gay all ways to Sunday, and he ain't looking for no femme fatales, he's after that good ol Superman
  • Also this IS intended to be a polyam story, and hero and villain are intended to fall in love too, but if y'all would rather them just be bros loving and protecting the same reckless civilian, that's probably one of the only things on which I'm lenient? We can talk more on this if that's the direction y'all wanna go!! There's still plenty of plot to be had if hero and villain don't smooch!!
  • I'm open to ideas and stuff, especially about metahumans and how heroes and villains work in this world! I love collaborative worldbuilding!
  • Lilian falls in love with the SUPER personas, and knows nothing about their civilian covers unless they tell him, so that could lead into some fun hijinks!!

Interested in the Hero role. Are we assuming a world more like Marvel/DC? Or is it more akin to My Hero Academia? Is it alright if the hero is transmasc? It’s not a deal breaker if not.

@Crimson Flame Tell me a bit about this villain; what's his general gimmick and character and what all?

@JewelSerketMore akin to Marvel/DC where metahumans are an established part of society, but aren't fully the norm. People accept the heroes, though still turn up their noses at metahumans in general, especially since even the heroes pose a danger and a threat to society. As for transmasc, you've piqued my interest, so I'll hear the idea out 👀 I fully support trans men/women are men/women (be weird if I specifically didn't nsjssj)

Awesome! Thank you!

What are the scope of the powers? Are there limits? Expectations? Is this closer to batman or superman?

I have a transmasc hero I've been tossing around for a little while. A man with an affinity for and control over plants. Not unlike Poison Ivy but flipped around to be a hero (I've thought of using him for a lovely little bit of body horror, but that could easily be tossed into a different rp at a later date if that does not match this rp's tone). He's had top surgury but not bottom surgery. His super-persona is entirely male, but he fears getting caught. He has this guilt and anxiety that, if he doesn't fill the hypermasculine role of a superhero, he won't be treated with respect. He fears getting ousted because people may treat him differently or not respect his role as a protector.

Male Poison Ivy!

Full Name: Dr. Florian Pine

Nicknames/Aliases: Poison Oak, Professor Pine

Age: 30

Gender: Male

Powers: (Chlorokinesis: Poison Oak has the ability to control all forms of plant life on a molecular level. He also has expertise in Botany and biochemistry that lets him develop mutant plants, and create and bring to life plants that were long thought to be extinct.

Plant Physiology: Being part plant, he can breathe CO2, allowing him to survive in places that lack oxygen. He can also Photosynthesize, so he can go long periods of time without eating or sleeping (though he can still do both if he chooses.) He does require sunlight and water to function. He is physically stronger and faster while under sunlight. Being cut off from sunlight can weaken him, and eventually kill him. He can turn his skin from green back into a normal tone to blend in with society. He prefers his green skin though.

Regeneration: If you cut off a limb, it will grow back. Even if you kill him, he’ll just regrow somewhere else eventually.

Pheromones: His body can produce pheromones to control the behavior of others. Those with strong wills can usually resist though.

Poison: His body can produce a variety of plant based toxins. They can have a variety of effects from merely knocking people unconscious, making people happy, or outright killing them. He often delivers his Poison through a kiss.

Poison Immunity: He is also immune to Poisons himself



Description: Pine is a tall and lean man. He stands at six feet tall, and has a slim physique with toned muscles that he got after becoming a plant hybrid. He has abs, and he is quite proud of them. He used to be rather awkward looking when he was younger, but has since grown into himself. He has a heart shaped face with a firm jaw. His eyes are as green as the forest. He has a mop of blonde hair on top of his head. His skin is normally green, but he can make himself appear as his human skin tone if he wants. He prefers being green though.

Pine doesn’t have much of a taste for fashion in his day to day life. Some days, he dresses like the scientist he is. Wearing dress shirts and pants in shades of white and gray, as well as a green tie. He even wears a white lab coat. Other days, he dresses in casual jeans and T-shirts, often green in color and with floral patterns on them. Then other days he just wears floral patterns head to toe. He has even been known to wear flowers in his hair. In all of his outfits, he always wears a pair of thick green glasses, which he no longer needs, but wears non prescription glasses for that scientist look.

As Poison Oak, he basically wears plants. Vines, thorns, and flowers decorate his body. His only clothing are a pair of green tights with a vine pattern, and a pair of leaf boots.

Personality: Once upon a time, Pine was a shy and nerdy young man. He didn’t have an easy time socializing with people, and also didn’t have much confidence. He often preferred his plants more than other people’s company. After the accident, Pine developed a lot more confidence, but also drove him a little nuts. He still is fascinated with plants, but now he treats them like his babies.

Some days, Pine hates humanity. His experience with being bullied, along with the way people take nature for granted, makes him think the world would be better off without humans. He can be rude to people when he first meets them. He can still be rude even after he first meets them. While he’s not opposed to using his powers for violent means, even outright killing people if necessary, he does know he needs some people around to produce CO2 for his plants to function. He resorted to violent means to hurt the world that had been cruel to him.

There are other times when Pine longs for human companionship. If anyone shows him even the slightest hint of kindness, he will be all for it. He’ll cling to that person and be their best friend. At least until he perceives they did him wrong in some way. In general, his emotions can vary wildly at any given time.

Despite his love for nature and his desire to protect it, Pine's anger and resentment towards humanity often lead him to resort to violent and destructive means. He condemns others for their actions while failing to acknowledge his own hypocrisy, blinding himself to the damage he inflicts in his quest for revenge against the world that rejected him.

History: Pine’s parents were scientists who studied plantlife. They were often in the field busy with their research, and neglected their son. Occasionally they would take him on their research trips with them, but they would leave him to his own devices. Even though his parents didn’t show their affections all that much, Pine knew he wanted to be a Botanist, just like his parents were.

Growing up, Florian had always been a strange young man. He was fascinated by plants, which others found to be odd. He was often bullied by others because he was physically weaker, psychologically delicate, and because of his interest in plants. Due to the bullying, Florian usually preferred plants to people. Plants didn’t judge him.

Despite the bullying, Florian, who often went by his last name Pine because people made fun of his first name, was an intelligent young man. He eventually earned a Ph.D. in Botany and Biochemistry and was employed at a university before he turned thirty. There, he was still bullied by most of his colleagues. Only one colleague was nice to him. Dr. Evan Dendron. A handsome male scientist, and the only one who showed Pine any ounce of respect. He defended him from bullies, and was the only one who believed in Pine’s work. Pine had developed a crush on him.

Pine was developing a method that would allow humans to photosynthesize, thus solving world hunger. However the Dean of the University showed no interest because they couldn’t profit from it. As the funding for his experiments was about to be cut, Pine performed an experiment on himself to prove his theories were correct. However, something went wrong, and Pine was transformed into a half-plant half human creature.

The process gave him his abilities, as well aa confidence, but also drove him to instability. In a fit of rage, he killed the scientists who bullied him, as well as the Dean of the University. He then attempted to woo Evan. He rejected Pine because he already had a girlfriend. Plus, there was the whole murder thing. Evan wasn’t down for that. Heartbroken, and consumed by madness, Pine held him hostage, and attempted to perform the same experiment to turn the object of his affection into a plant too. He was ultimately stopped by [Hero] before anything could happen. However, from then on, Florian Pine was dead. Poison Oak had been born. He decided that he would become the earth’s protector, and would reclaim what rightfully belonged to Mother Nature, by any means necessary. He became a feared ecoterrorist, and still works as a professor at a different university.

Other: He’s Bisexual, but prefers men

Hahaha, same brain moment
Uhhh, this is hard because I don't really want the hero and villain to have the same powers? I feel like they should clash more! Not necessarily opposites (nature vs tech) but something a little more umph, if you know what I mean?

@JewelSerket The scope of powers can honestly be as wide as Marvel, where you literally have omnipotent figures, though when I use god-like abilities, I tend to pile on weaknesses to balance it out and generally just have my ways of keeping op from actually being op. I honestly love the concept of a hero feeling the need to feed into the hypermasculinity of big-time classic heroes? It hints at a lot of personal struggle for the hero that Li can maybe help him work through! I'm interested in this body horror concept too, since I see this being a bit like the X-Men in a way were metahumans can have various physical mutations that may or may not go along with their powers!

@Crimson Flame Professor Oak is a really well-written character and I love his story. I'll keep you and him in consideration for the villain role. For now I wanna see what other bites I can get! I can definitely see Li having a lot of fun with him, and he definitely fills the chaotic role I was imagining for the villain side of the relationship that I know Li would love!

In case y'all want a feel for the reporter character, Lilian, or Li (lee) as he usually goes by, here he be:

I don't mind changing the powers! I was not particularly sold on them as of yet. Let me give it a thinker. Do you have any preferences for how you'd like to see the powers clash? I ask because I don't have any plans for specific powers yet and can work from there.

@JewelSerket I mean! Lots of things can clash with plants! Tech, of course, a regular Batman or other techy persona. But also natural abilities relating to things like fire, ice, storms, maybe even animals? I don't know, get creative! Even the classic Superman/Metroman with flying, lasers, strength, and all that could be a good clash. Maybe the hero isn't even meta! Maybe he's just trained in martial arts and has a cool weapon! The possibilities are endless!

True! The clash can come in character too! Pine is a chaotic nerd, whereas the hero could be a more gentle and traditional sort of gentleman who goes for classic dates and nights in, a good foil to the potential danger and excitement the villain could bring with dates and time spent together

I have figured out the powers I desire for my gay little son. Insect themed powers. 1, I really like insects. Especially beetles. 2, Bugs and plants are terrible for eachother... but! They need each other to survive. I thought that would be a fun irony.
