Looking to see if anybody would be interested in a Kick-ass style game set roughly around the start of Kick-ass 2 (comics). For anybody not in the know this is a very grounded and gritty setting focusing on real people with real life problems that just happen to have the drive to go out at night and make the world a better place.
Some of them have classic comic book inspired backstories ie their parents or other loves ones getting killed . While others are just people that are infatuated by the world of comic books and see the world as a dark and terrible place and they want to strive to make it better, just like their heroes.
Much of the time the 'super heroes' aren't out stopping bank robberies or anything like that. They patrol the streets, hassle drug dealers to leave street corners, make sure that drunk girls get home safe at night and volunteer at soup kitchens.
Things are starting to change in recent times however. 'Super villians' have started to rise, gaining strength from the disenfranchised and the disturbed.. Many people say it was an unavoidable. That 'super heroes' cannot exist without 'super villains'. It has caused many problems in the hero community however. The 'super villians' are responsible for a growing number of vicious seemingly random attacks, rapes and murders. The public and the police often cannot tell the two different factions apart in the streets, after all who knows who is really under the mask.
So i am looking to see if people are interested in playing in a cruel world, playing people who want to try and make it a better place. However they are small fish in a big pond, they have no bat computers and no super powers. They are not well trained, often not being trained at all. They cannot always be where trouble is going to be, and if they are they may not always be able to handle it. At the end of the day all they have are their convictions their new friends and the drive to make the world a better place for everyone.
