Project Olympia
You are a college student. You are broke. You have bills to pay. He is offering you a good sum to participate in an experiment. You read the briefing, something about seeing the effects of vitamins with added chemicals and how they affect a person based on gender. Several male and female college students will be called to partake, and you think nothing of it. It's money, right?
Wrong. The Scientist is Professor Finn Rohrbach, a scientist from Germany, and he has discovered a rare element that, when combined with certain chemicals, can give beings incredible powers. The rats Rohrbach tested with all developed incredible powers and he now wants to push forward and test on human subjects.
When the subjects consume their picked pills, they gain powers within the next few days and are required to stay in Rohrbach's lab. After their powers begin to surface, Rohrbach is forced to reveal his true intentions. He had hand picked them, wanting to build a team of superheroes to fight crime. Having lost his wife to a murderer, Rohrbach has a few reasons to want to see justice served but has always been too scared to do so himself. Promising the students that he would help change them back if he helped them, he got them to form a group and told them they could find their own missions to complete and Rohrbach would also send them missions to go on. He also told them to come back periodically to get a check up with him.
There are several pills, one for each participant. For this RP to work, we need to get a few RPers and then start, once we start, it will be very hard for others to join in later. I may let one or two slip in after start up in IC, but that would be it.
My max number will be 10. This means that I will absolutely stop after 10 players but I may stop well before 10 if I feel that we won't get many more. My minimum is three, four including myself.
The way the pills will work is, you will make a list of 2-3 powers that you wouldn't mind playing. When you make a CS, you will have a section to say which pill your character took. I will randomly assign colors to these powers and make a list of colors for you all to choose from. And so, when you post your CS, I will tell you which power you got. You may only change your power ONCE and when you ask for a change, I will choose from the list myself. After that, you're stuck with what you got.
I am adding this to make it perfectly clear to incoming players that the power you will receive will be completely random. I won't make exceptions as you enter the RP understanding this.
A thread will be made when more people share their interest in this idea. Thanks for reading and feel free to ask any questions. I have finals this week and next but after that I'll be free to be on RPG a lot. Until then... -looks at Nev and DP- DP knows a lot about the world, at least I hope he does and Nev will be one of the co-GMs so ye.
