The Boys is set in a universe in which super powered people are recognized as heroes by the general public and are own d by a powerful private corporation, Vought International, which aggressively market and monetize their heroes and ensure positive public opinion and popularity for their heroes. Most of the true intentions of these heroes are just for the money and fame, and they will go to great lengths to keep that going, covering up scandals, paying people off, and overall being superficial in the name of saving people and Justice. Their latest motives are to influence the American government and get contracts with not just the cities, but the military. There has been unrest after the atrocities of heroes have been covered up for decades, and a rebellious group has formed to expose Vought international for what they really are, and uncover dark secrets along the way.

This will be a small group role-play based on the world and setting of The Boys. All characters will be OC characters, and although the overarching plot may be similar, there is lots of room to change and move the plot as the characters develop. You do not need to have watched the show to roleplay this, as general superhero knowledge will suffice. Your character can be a normal human, or a super powered individual. There are a multitude of backgrounds and options you can take in your fight against Vought

I am looking for a few people who are interested in joining the small group roleplay. The preferred roleplay method will be discord, for ease of access for myself and other members involved. The writing expectation will be at least a paragraph, more is appreciated, but quality over quantity. Post frequency is minimum weekly with the option of multiple daily posts depending on activity. You must be 18+ as the show as well as this roleplay will have adult themes.

We already have two members, so let me know if you’re interested! Feel free to reply or DM me.

>I've a few questions. Will this be done here on the forum? And what are the limits in terms of powers? I'm aware that the show is a more gritty and "realistic" take when it comes to the effects of supes' abilities, but how wild can we get here?

@Zyx Preferably discord, just makes things easier! And it really depends on the power. As long as it’s not anything super overpowered and makes it boring we can work with it. Wouldn’t be an interesting RP if everybody was a Homelander/Superman type

>I see. Well I'm afraid I'll have to decline on participating then, as I'm not too active on Discord as of late and it's not my preferred way by which to RP, but my interest remains peaked as this kind of superhero RP idea seems like it could be a lot of fun. And in regards to the powers, that makes sense. I suppose, like always, mind control and other such effects would need to be handled carefully or avoided outright, but that still leaves quite a lot of abilities to choose from.

@ZyxVery valid questions and reasonings. Balancing powers is always a tricky one sometimes. I will add the roleplay method stipulation in the interest check for future reference to avoid any confusion. Wish you all the best on your other roleplays mate.

>I wish you the best as well, especially with this idea in particular. The Boys setting and plot is just rife for interpersonal conflict among characters, so I hope you can get this going.

Nope! As I said in my post, you don’t need to have even watched the show. It’s based around the setting and overarching plot of the first season, but the concept is fairly simple to grasp. Superhero stuff. And it’ll be mostly OC content so no spoilers or anything if you’re worried bout that. It’s pretty flexible.

I wanna be part of this. I've always liked the comic book versions more, if only for the diverse range of designs.
