Hell On Earth
~A DC Comics Based RP~
| GM: Lord Wraith | Co-GM: Roman | Genre: Fandom, Superhuman | Type: Linear |


| PREMISE: |

Where were you the day hope died?


Fifty years ago, the world's supervillains organized themselves and almost over night slaughtered the majority of the Jusitce League and its offshoots. Led by General Zod, Vandal Savage, Lex Luthor and Ra's Al Ghul, the force of Supervillains were nearly unstoppable, finally united for one common goal. Using a hi-jacked Red Tornado, Luthor delivered the first blow as he disabled the Watchtower's environmental systems before sending the orbiting station plummeting to Earth. Those who survived the wreckage were met by a new Amazo. Themyscria was next hit as General Zod and his forces descended upon Paradise Island waging war with the Amazons. Team after team of the heroes forces were called in, reserve members, junior members only for each and everyone to be slaughtered as the supervillains exerted a dominance over their foes that had never been seen before. The League of Assassins descended upon Gotham while Wayne Manor was razed to the ground. Not wanting to miss out on the fun, the Joker detonated a dirty bomb reducing most of Gotham to rubble in a flash of light.

Metropolis was over run by Intergang, war breaking out in the streets as they moved to take the city. However Metallo had other ideas and tried to take the city as his own leading to his volatile Kryptonite heart being ruptured as the cyborg exploded taking most of the city with him. After a month of fighting, numerous trails of wreckage and most of the known world rendered inhospitable, the supervillains had taken over the world.

Throughout the battle, the world's military became more and more desperate as hero after hero died and city after city fell. Nuclear weapons were unleashed and while they did their job, more than not they just left behind smoking craters. Europe, Russia and Asia were lost to nuclear fallout. Australia was lost to rampant tides after half the moon was destroyed. Most of Canada was lost to a new ice age while the remainder was taken as part of the new world. Africa was set ablaze while South America was sunk below the surface by feuding Atlanteans. In the end, only the former United States of America remained having absorbed both Mexico and the habitable remains of Canada.

In a world without heroes, people live each day trying to get by despite the odds ever against them. But there are some who still cling to the days gone past, the days of superheroes when any second Superman would rise up from the ground and Batman would swing in. It is in these people that hope is reborn and fuels those who are done with being oppressed.


This is the story of those who choose to stand up and fight.


This Rp is inspired by 'Old Man Logan', I thought it would be fun to take the concept and apply it to the DC Universe. Would love to gather some interest and put up an OOC for this.

It'd seem that I've overcome my unreliability. So I'm interested. Never read old man Logan though. But I'm sure I can figure something out.

¡Interesado~!

How would you feel about a character that's the avatar of the Red? Like would a character who's power-set involves life be interesting in a world where life is mostly gone, or would it be dumb? idk

In terms of characters I am going to be putting some pretty harsh limitations on them because of the nature of the world. In Old Man Logan it was revealed that the X-Gene was actually not the future of humanity and was just in fact a freak mutation. Mutants were dying out. Here I'm still going to allow metahumans, homo-magi (think Zatanna) and naturally skilled humans. But Atlanteans, Amazons, aliens and Lanterns will all be out.

This looks like enough interest to definitely post an OOC though. So I will aim to finish that up tomorrow night, I have most of it written it's just a matter of hammering out some more details about the setting and letting you know the who's who. There will be a set character sheet provided in the OOC as well so no need to submit a character until then.

I really wish I could join this, but I have too much going on. Instead I will watch and enjoy!

One question, what version of the Watchtower are you saying crashed? from what I have seen of the Watchtower it is a pretty hefty base and would cause little short of an E.L.E. specially in the case of the version from Young Justice. Just a thought.

That's a fair point. I will be sure to amend my OOC to reflect why such an event didn't happen.

I'm giving a hesitant interest until I get my idea cleared through a private message.

Haven't read very many comics but this seems like an interesting premise.

Interested! So I'm assuming we're all forming together to form a sort of last-ditch league of our own? Would be cool to be more of the kind of jaded, anti-hero, middling power level misfits as opposed to the demigods of superman and green lantern.

I've got a character concept in mind to that effect: Basically just a low level crook who, during all the chaos, basically grabbed all the shit he could from Arkham's storage and made tracks. A suit made out of pieces of other super suits: Patchwork.

I was thinking of making a Dick Tracey/The Question-esque detective. Basically just a gunslinger with genius-level intelligence and a noir attitude who wants to bring order and justice back.
