Okay so I'm coming back to RPing from a long break and been having this idea for an RP set in the 'real world' in a similar style to books like the skulduggery Pleasant and the keys to the kingdom series.
So the characters would be normal people in the real world but with a lot of hidden powers, pretty much anything you can think of as powerful as you like. Then once we have a group of basically indestructible bad-ass characters living double lives in the normal world we start RPing with fights against equally as overpowered characters, something along the lines of super humans who just cause a ridiculous amount of destruction.
Just thought it'd be fun for people to not have to worry about being OP and to get really creative with their powers and abilities. Obviously because of the nature of the RP there would have to be some limitations but they'll all come out in the Character Sheets.
I'll write up a sheet and my character after I'm sure that there's some sort of interest, I have a lot of the details planed up just didn't wanna give you guys a huge text dump so if you've got a question throw it my way and I'll see if I've got an answer figured out.
Update 1: Figured that a lack of details might be putting some people off so gonna expand where I can in hopes that it catches some attention.
For powers you can choose 5 for each character, the only limit is that you cannot just put 'immortality' down as a power, that's lame and you should feel lame for putting that down. The powers can be pretty much anything and really don't worry about having dupes of other peoples powers there is gonna be some overlap probably, you also need to put what each power can actually do and describe it's limitations.
On the character sheet (below) there's a Strength and Speed stat, each character gets 15 points and sinks them into the two of them however they like, will post a list of what each level of that ability actually means once things progress and people actually want to start making characters.
Each of the characters will be assumed to have more resistance to damage and stronger than average strength/speed (regardless of how many points you put into something you're still way stronger and faster than normal people) so you don't need to put down super speed or super strength as powers.
Example Character (this is just to give you an idea this is not the final character sheet and this is not my character)
Name: Ivo Rayne
Age: 24
Appearance: Scurffy mid height man in baggy clothes, unshaven with bags under his eyes. Messy mop of straight brown hair. Usually seen wearing his favorite hoody and jeans combo.
Power 1 - Life Sense ( can sense when there are other living beings present and can also tell their emotional state and things like heart fluctuations and brain activity allowing him to sense motive and even tell when people are lying)
Power 2 - Blinking ( can teleport to anywhere that he can see)
Power 3 - Pyrokenesis (can form fire with his mind, anything from a small spark to a firestorm, the more he summons the more drained of energy he is)
Power 4 etc
Power 5 etc
Personality:Huge slacker who only looks out for himself, lazy, scruffy and completely disorganized. Not very quick to anger but has outbursts if pushed to far.
Hopefully this might drum up more interest in the RP and might give some people more of an idea of what I meant.
