Academy of Heroes & Academy of Villains: Something Very Different

[shagranoz]

Okay, so I've had a truly bizarre idea, and I wonder if anyone would be willing to give it a go: two linked RPs.

The idea is a simple one: two schools, one that trains superheroes and one that trains supervillains. Naturally, the two schools are rivals, and the villains and heroes keep getting into scraps throughout the city. Eventually, we build up to a grand finale where both sides have to put aside their differences and work together to save the world from an apocalyptic threat.

Now, I know for a fact that this has been pulled off before on other sites, and I think it can be done here. It's not going to be easy, and I will ask for long-term commitment from any players on either side. That said, is anyone interested??

[Mixtape Ghost N]

Interested.

[Kingfisher]

Also interested!

[Conflux]

Somehow interested.

[Mixtape Ghost N]

I'm wondering how this will work. Like, will there be two different threads for each school? How will it work when the two schools meet? Also, we're going to need a sizable cast to fill each school. lol

So, what's the power level you're going for, and how many characters can we have? I'll make characters for both schools.

[TheHangedMan]

Also interested, though the comment above raises fair points.

[BreakingMe]

Possibly interested

[shagranoz]

I was hoping to keep the schools somewhat separate (They know of each other's existence, obviously, but the heroes haven't been able to find out the physical location of the villains school, for instance), and we do seem to be getting some good numbers of players. Perhaps you could have friends in the other schools and the like, to increase interaction opportunities.

As for power levels, think Spiderman and slightly above.

@shagranoz

I was asking about the threads themselves. lol

[shagranoz]

Yes, I was thinking two different threads, if only to keep confusion down. However, if a majority are against that, I will change.

We're really getting moving here; so I think I'll post the threads sometime in the next 24 hours. Might be late tonight after work, might be tomorrow morning.

[BreakingMe]

Why would two threads be necessary? Also, if you're looking for interaction between the two schools, I feel like two separate threads would cause more confusion.

@BreakingMe

I agree. IC locations can just be specified with each post made. Making another thread would just come out as something rather superfluous and will make the entire RP difficult to handle, especially if you're talking about setting interactions between two schools. Best stick to one thread in my opinion.

@Conflux

These two pretty much said what I was going to say. Unless things are going to be that separate, one thread is enough imo. My problem seemed to arise when thinking about how the two threads would intersect. Anyone who pays attention (Like myself) can tell the difference, and if someone can't - then oh well.

Also, I recommend posting this interest in one of the more specialized sections (This RP's probably going to be casual) so that more people will see it. You're probably going to need a solid/large cast for this.

[shagranoz]

Okay, then. One thread it is. I'll get a post up in casual interest checks ASAP.

Edit: and here's the casual check, on the off chance anyone's interested: roleplayerguild.com/topics/91091-acade..

[Idemus046]

I'm definitely interested

[Blue Demon]

I'm tentatively interested.

[shagranoz]

Thread's up!
