Welcome to


Heroic Egalitarian Rescue Organization


Ubi tenebras, et non in lucem adducere

Superpowers.

No, they are no longer confined to the pages of comic books.

The story of superpowers began 200 years ago with what is now known as the X-200 meteor, a large meteor composed of a foreign substance. The meteor was spotted by astronomers and, after calculations were performed, it was determined that the meteor would collide with the Earth in 7 days. With the large meteor moving at high speed towards the planet and threatening impending doom, citizens everywhere prepared for the end of the world and said their last goodbyes, but disaster was averted as the meteor dissolved upon entering Earth’s atmosphere, causing a dust storm but not any sort of extinction-level threat nor any real physical casualties. It was considered a miracle by all, and life as normal continued soon after.

‘Life as normal’ ended, though, when a small population of people began to exhibit peculiar behaviors. ‘Peculiar’ being things such as telekinesis, teleportation, and other superhuman abilities that were unexplainable by conventional science. A long investigation into the nature of these mysterious abilities revealed a connection between the X-200 meteor’s material and the abilities. Scientists eventually concluded that the foreign substance, when absorbed into the body, caused a mutation in the genetic code that granted access to these superhuman abilities. These genetic mutations would travel down through families, continuing to provide similar mutations down the bloodline.

People soon realized, of course, that these powers provided opportunities to help the populace, as well as opportunities to harm the populace. Those that chose to use their powers for evil became the first generation of real-world villains, and those that chose to use their powers to stop these villains became the first generation of real-world superheroes. And so this new order of people, those endowed with superhuman abilities, began to battle in the streets, their newfound powers coming to blows against each other as onlookers could only watch.

Superheroes realized that in order to fight crime and superhuman villainy more easily, organization would be crucial. That led to the founding of hero companies across the world- large organizations of heroes that patrolled a specific region and fought villains in the area under its jurisdiction. All the hero companies were separate entities, but were linked and funded by the International Council on Superhuman Affairs, or ICOSA, a transnational body dedicated to regulating superpowers across the globe.

In the present day, thanks to these Hero Companies, being a full-time superhero is a viable career choice for individuals who do have mutations, currently sitting around 10-20% of the global population, roughly. Perhaps the most infamous of these Hero Companies is HERO, the Heroic Egalitarian Rescue Organization. HERO is a hero company situated in the city of Castleburg, a vibrant, buzzing, bustling city that is also cram-full of supervillainy everywhere. HERO is known, however, for getting the job done- often at the expense of the local infrastructure. Despite this, most HERO heroes are well-respected for their commitment to keeping their city safe, though this respect often also comes with hiding in fear of the damage they will cause.

As new threats arise in Castleburg, the citizens are confident that HERO will be able to counter each and every hazard that comes to light, and keep Castleburg safe, one day at a time.

Only time will tell if they succeed.

Where you stand might change that.

Application








You are allowed to have as many characters as you can reasonably manage, though I would say personally no more than 2 main characters you will be controlling throughout. You may have your own side characters/villains/NPCs that are to be used for a specific character arc/whatnot. PM me if you want to add your character into a main story arc, odds are I will say 'yes,' so don't be shy!

If you have something in general to ask about a character, my PM mailbox is always open.


We can be heroes, just for one day.


That's all for now! As more is updated, I look forward to reading character sheets! especially with quarantine in place lol

I think it's a very solid character! I do have a few quick areas that I'd like you to elaborate on if you could.

  • Your personality could use a little more fleshing out, in particular in their interactions with others. Are they introverted or extroverted? Are they humble or conceited? Are they easygoing or strict? et cetera, et cetera.
  • If you could add the locations of the lab and stuff that would be cool. I think all that stuff wasn't out when you made this but if you could go back and add it it would be epic
  • What I really need some elaboration on is the shadow stuff. Are the shadows like a morphing substance, like a fluid, or is it more weightless, almost like an illusion? If you could also elaborate on how he fights using it that would be nice, because right now you just have listed the shadow clones stuff, which is cool but I doubt the only way he fights. Right now it's a bit ambiguous, so just a little more description will make it nice and fleshed out.


Once you do that, feel free to move it right over to the Character tab! Good character, and I look forward to seeing how he comes to terms with all the rampant destruction that surrounds him, haha!

Very solid! I do like the idea, just a couple discrepancies I found myself. This is all nitpicky stuff, but yeah.

  • "its rapid production" caught me off-guard a bit. I feel like a suit that literally has a chance of permanently melding with its owner would definitely be more of a prototype model. I think having the suit be a tested prototype fits in a little more with the RP's technological theme (keeps it a little more grounded in modern tech) and also explains that issue. Also explains why there aren't any more flying police officers right now.
  • Maybe just a hair more on the personality. It's definitely good and I understand your character, but I feel as though it's hard to imagine how they'd behave if they encountered another villain/hero outside of "i'm crazy." I do understand that is a bit difficult to elaborate on with characters that are unhinged, but if you could just add a little more in that respect that would be great.


Overall, it's really good and I look forward to seeing this villain in action1

The literal smallest nitpick, but you did not do a blood type XD.

After you add that, you're accepted!
