Aaaand it's up!

I edited the character sheet so now you are able to make villains as well. @Burning Kitty was right that two different sheets weren't needed. If you already filled out a sheet you don't have to put the couple new things in since they really are just for villains anyway.

The Band of Not-So-Heroes: A Superhero Comedy

Welcome to Metropolis!

---

Dear Hero,

As you may know, a threat has come to our great city. You may have encountered its effects already. People becoming extremely powerful, beyond normal standards and some who were not even mutants beforehand, like yourself. They are being changed by someone manipulative, a person of a dark spirit who has it out for Metropolis. He calls himself "the Voodoo Man."
Innocent people are being brainwashed by this man, and becoming these ferocious monsters who attack others for no apparent reason. They are villains.
You and other mutants are our only hope to eliminate not only these villains, but eventually the Voodoo Man himself.
Please, meet with the others at the town hall if you are willing to be a part of this Generation of heroes that will save Metropolis city.
Please, save us.

The Mayor of Metropolis
Stephen Hans

What is This?

"HEY, SHMUCK! OVER HERE!"
You're attention is pulled away from the formal layout of the first OOC post to a girl with wavy long white hair, dressed in an outfit of skimpy red clothes that were a bit too tight on her. She's sitting on a chair, not at all properly, with an annoyed look as she gets tired of waving you over.
"Are you deaf? Get your ass over here! Don't you want to know what this is?"
With much hesitation, you move closer, glancing around as if expecting an ambush.
"Glad my hair is dyed white, now no one can see all the gray hairs I just grew from waiting for your slow ass! Anyways, Cherrywitch made me explain this role play to you. The name's Violet."
She went to shake your hand, but stopped, realizing she was imaginary and her hand would go right through. Oh well, the existential crisis could wait for later.
"Alright, lets get this over with! We're in Metropolis right now, if you're blind too and didn't see the sign when you walked in. It's usually a fairly normal city— drugs, bunch of hobos, a huge gang in downtown _{that I may run} buuutt not too bad for a big city, right? Well, that semi-decent environment is getting fucked up by Sir Douchebag himself, The Voodoo Man. That little shit caused a bunch of trouble for all the heroes coming here to the Town Hall as well as normal city goers! Every person with strong negative emotions and having an insane greed for something can be manipulated by VooDouche. He attacks innocent people with these others he controls, making them into villains and promising them something great in return. We don't know what the hell is problem is, but I'm sure knocking a few teeth out will give him some sense! The other heroes can be natural mutants like me, or probed around by aliens or scientists or whatever, I don't fucking know. You think Cherrywitch gives a flying shit? As long as the character isn't fucking Godzilla I don't think there's going to be a problem. She's too lazy to correct anything anyway, the stupid bi—"
It seemed that Violet had run out of time and you have to get going.
"Eh, whatever. You get the gist. If you don't, ask the Grand Creator Cherrywitch, or try this thing for more information. Yeah, and don't let the door hit you on the way out!"

Rules

Nothing crazy, don't worry. ^_^
1. All RPN rules apply.
2. No overpowering your characters. We all start out clumsy and somewhat weak at first and then grow stronger together.
3. No fighting OOC. Just because your characters hate each other doesn't mean you guys have to hate each other.
4. I would like at least a paragraph per character at least, preferably with decent grammar, punctuation, and some variation in sentence structure. I can understand if you can't manage that for some reason (like if you're ill or you're wifi is down), but let me know. I don't bite. This isn't a high school writing class, but it just makes it more interesting and easier to read for other players.
5. Cursing is perfectly acceptable! Have a curse fest for all I care. WOOOO! (But, uh, try not to make that your character's entire dialogue...?)
6. There most likely will be some gore like teeth being knocked out or people getting shot, but just don't go too extreme, alright?
7. If it really gets to that point, just freaking fade to black. Nasty.
8. This is a comedy. Try to be original/funny with your characters! Not saying there can't be some sad backstory, but try and keep it on the light-hearted side. This is for laughs, man.
9. I can make and break these rules at any time. YOU WILL OBEY ME, PEASANTS!

@Burning Kitty Just a few things as to like what they became a villain for, and more stuff I'll figure out later when I'm not half dead from the flu.

ONE PUUUUUUUUUUUUNCH

@FallenTrinity Aaaaaaah


I'll post, like, tomorrow. It'll be crap and most likely very confusing due to a flu medicine induced lack of rationality, but don't even worry about it bro...

@Burning Kitty@Blight Bug@DepressedSoviet@Inertia@Cat@mskennedy615@Mr Allen J@Poke@FantasyChic@Deathsong12@Sisyphus

Alright, I managed to not die long enough to start making the OOC, and I'm proud to say that it's almost done and could be up soon!

I just have a few questions for you guys.

1. Do you guys like the title or do you have a different idea for it?
2. Do any of you want a form for a villain? I can make that up if it's requested...
3. Is there anyone who would like to be a co-gm? I might need two because of the combination of my terrible immune system, work and school, so, yeah...

Alright, let me know. Once I get a few answers I'll put up the OOC.

The Band of Not-So-Heroes: A Superhero Comedy

@DepressedSoviet Yup either of those are fine.

The Band of Not-So-Heroes: A Superhero Comedy

Alright, I managed to make up the character sheet. You don't have to use the format I put it in.

My characters are going to have pyrokinesis and teleportation, so I'd appreciate it if you guys wouldn't take those powers... ^-^"

You can post your characters here and if I 'like' them they are approved. When I feel well enough to put up the OOC you can put them directly into the character tab.

Ah awesome, thank all of you for your interest!

I'm, like, dying from the flu at the moment, so I apologize but I won't be able to put up the OOC for a while. I might be able to create a character form for you all to fill out and just post it here for the time being, but ... ughhhh.

ONE PUUUUUUUUUUUUNCH

@FallenTrinity I have the flu currently, so I can barely understand anything I read. ^^" I'll read it again when I feel better and reply.

The Band of Not-So-Heroes: A Superhero Comedy

Welp... I'm trying it again.

I attempted to host a role play before and it failed miserably, but this is a much less detailed idea and so I feel like it might live. The name is up for change, of course.

My idea is that there is multiple 'heroes' in an alternate universe, where it's uncommon but still possible to have mutations and powers that come with them. But, they aren't really heroes. In fact, they're more a bunch of idiots and gangbusters that stumbled upon their powers more than anything.

They all have their own lives, completely separate from one another, when an evil force known as "The Voodoo Man" arises. Using sickly shadows and puppeteering people who are weak at heart, suffering from rage, heartbreak, and the like. These people are empowered by the Voodoo Man, and follow his orders, though they have no idea who he is or what he looks like— they don't even know his goal. The villains only comply with the voice in their heads that promise them what they desire, whether it be money, power, love, or the like.

That's where our troupe comes in. The government sent out for mutants to help fight against the Voodoo Man and his villains, naming the group "Generation X." Each one of our characters were personally affected by the Voodoo Man or his little puppets, and have a personal grudge against him.

The only problem is that, well... they aren't too friendly with one another. In fact, most of them hate each other's guts or simply don't get along. They're selfish, they're crude, they're violent, and they're snarky but they are the only chance we got against the Voodoo Man.

Maybe they'll grow on each other...? Let's hope for the best!
GO GET HIM, GENERATION X!

Yes, I took elements from Marvel, One Punch Man, The Miraculous Ladybug etc.
I APOLOGIZE FOR NOT PUTTING THIS HERE EARLIER! THE OOC IS UP AND THE LINK CAN BE FOUND IN MY SIGNATURE!
