"So why should I be afraid of you? You bleed just like I do. And you're gonna die.... no different from anyone else that came before you..."
♦ OVERVIEW ♦
Welcome to Charity Beach: Paradise Gone an RP that was made to satisfy a craving of mine somewhat inspired by the rise of Superhuman RPs. Apart of the Black Fall Universe, this RP will be a semi-sandbox RP where people create a character of any type and participate in a variety of different storylines that will all lead to the same place. I will attempt to give guidance to everyone, but I encourage everyone to come up with their own storylines and take initiative with the location and the lore. I will provide information on the setting and the city, but what's inside of it is completely up to the players to come up with.
Basically, the setting is a world where people are enhanced by crystals that emit a strange energy and have been granted superhuman abilities, being dubbed "Metahumans." These Metahumans have been exposed to the world at a very early age, and have been quite integrated into the minds of the world as their acts, whether good or bad, often pop up on the news. There are mixed thoughts on Metahumans, some hate them, some love them, and others are on the fence. But, the problem is that, following an incident known only as the Verthaven disaster, they are on the rise, and people are afraid.
Various cities hold high amounts of Metahumans, and one of them is a city in Florida on it's west coast. Home to beautiful beaches, women, and weather, Charity Beach naturally draws all sorts of people to it's locales. And why wouldn't it? It has plenty of fun activities just waiting for you, so even if you're visiting or living there, you have a near-perfect paradise. Though, there is, naturally, a dark cloud over the city that the pampets and brochures tell nothing about. The crime, the factions vying for control, and the law enforcement that's just as bad as the criminals. This formed a balance of sorts, with no faction getting foothold on the other and keeping their activities under control... but, something else out there is going to throw everything out of wack.
If Superpowers/Superheros/Whatever aren't your fancy, then I suggest just closing the tab and going about your day. If it is, I promise to provide an interesting experience. A deep and complex tale of people getting caught up in the wrong place at the wrong time, with a very rich and well-developed lore. Above all else; this won't be a standard superhero romp, but a character-centric look at how Superpowers and whatnot would function in real life. No capes, no gimmicks. The RP will be character driven, and somewhat sandbox-y. I will be providing a storyline, but I'll be giving people free reign on how their characters act within the storyline.
The theme of this story is, essentially, Balance.
