Ultimate One Universe: Emergence

<Snipped quote by Lord Wraith>

Do it. Finish every arc with a sex scene.

@Sep

That's one way to climax.

Wraith's Little Workshop of Horrors

^{________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________}

_{Location: Walter E. Washington Convention Center - Washington D.C., United States of America}

Shoot to Thrill #1.01: Very Profitable

^{_{____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________}}

_{Interaction(s): None}

Previously: None

The crowd let out a boisterous cheer as a streak of red emerged from the back of the plane overhead. It plummeted towards the ground before the man-shaped aerial vehicle reversed its thrusters, deploying air brakes from the back of its torso, gauntlets and greaves. Coming to a near stop, it landed on the concrete without so much as a sound, as though a pillow of air had cushioned it.

Cameras flashed as the helmet opened revealing the multi-billion dollar smile of Anthony ‘Tony’ Stark, genius inventor and heir to Stark Industries, the mass weapons manufacturer.

The self-proclaimed ‘Iron Man’ inherited the company following his father's death and following a partnership with Obediah Stane, they grew to new heights, absorbing the likes of Justin Hammer and his Hammer Tech along the way.

The suit’s helmet opened fully, followed by the cuirass and then the arms until Tony could freely step out. Straightening his suit and bowtie, Tony extended an arm to either side of his body. They were accepted by the three awaiting gorgeous models. Each of the ladies stood a head above the playboy, heels accenting their long legs that moved through the daring slits of their dresses as the billionaire walked forward, his eye candy strutting along beside him exactly as rehearsed.

Behind the show, several Stark Industries employees retrieved the prototype under the watchful eyes of Tony’s personal head of security, Harold Hogan, or as he was more affectionately known, Happy.

Reporters surrounded Tony and his entourage, microphones extended towards him as more cameras flashed while others continued to film.

“Mr. Stark!”

“Mr. Stark, Channel 5 News, care to comment on the speculation that you're profiting on people's paranoia?”

“No I don't care to comment, it’s a reality, not paranoia and no,” Stark flashed his perfect smile, “It’s not profitable, it’s very profitable.”

Taking hold of the two sets of arms, Tony led the women inside the convention center where his personal aide was waiting for him. Escorting the women backstage, Stark waited as Pepper straightened his suit one more time before he emerged onto the stage, a spotlight illuminating his entrance while applause rose to a defeating din.

Clapping along with the audience Stark cupped a hand to his left ear before encouraging the corresponding side of the crowd to cheer louder. Skipping across the stage to the right, Stark moved his hand to the opposite ear before playing the other side of the crowd off the first.

Finally having enough of his fun, Stark waved his hands downward, waiting for the crowd to quiet before tapping his mic on and projecting his voice through the massive venue.

“Do you know how many insurance claims were filed in the past week alone following mutant and metahumans-based attacks? Nearly a trillion in property damage from close to a million claims. Claims that could have been avoided if law enforcement were properly equipped to fight back against these powered individuals. If we could rely on our civil servants instead of vigilantes and the odd mutant with a conscience.” He took a deep breath, motioning to the slides above him.

"In the past, we put our trust in a man and his serum. But the manufacturing time, the human factor, it's too variable. The future," Tony paused, the curtain behind him drawing away, "The future is moving, marching machine, the War Machine. Project War Machine puts the power back in the hands of the people you trust, imagine one of these,"

Tony gestured towards the row of heavily armoured humanoids behind him. Each decorated for a different branch of the military, several done up in the colours of civil services. The various units were equipped with specialized arms and tools. Save for one in the center, coloured in a garish red and gold, the one from Tony’s grand entrance. That was the mascot, done up in Stark's own personal colours.

Beside Tony on stage was his beautiful personal assistant whom many considered the only reason Stark Industries stayed afloat after the death of Howard Stark. His personal aide, Virginia Potts or as Tony referred to her, Pepper was an alumnus of the University of Pennsylvania. Were it not for Pepper, Tony would likely have drunk the family fortune instead of investing his time and effort into his family’s company and partnership with the older man sharing the stage with him.

The larger balding man in question had walked onto the stage, applauding Tony while inciting the crowd to follow. Obediah Stane flashed a friendly grin akin to the kind you’d receive from a kindly grandfather while he was followed onstage by the recently acquired Justin Hammer; the new lead of Stark’s Research and Development team. The man put on a small show attempting what looked like his best impression of Stark’s antics before the crowd began to rapidly quiet, sending the man sheepishly hiding in Obediah’s shadow.

"And that's not all folks," Stane yelled over the applause, "We're going to be holding a test flight, and we're going to make it fun," He smiled, "I've called my friends over at Farris Aviation and they've lent me their best test pilot while Tony is backing his personal friend, Lieutenant Colonel James Rhodes of the U.S. Air Force. Both of these men; along with some of their colleagues, will be the first to try out Stark's War Machines in a series of tests and challenges designed to put both the pilots and the suits through a series of arduous tests. From this boot camp, I'll get the joy of crowning my pilot 'Top Gun' and Stark Industries gets the benefit of putting together a comprehensive training manual to put the War Machine into the hands of your public servants."

"Pretty cocky about that victory, big guy, did you slip a little blue pill backstage?" Tony interjected, lowering his shades and obnoxiously winking at Stane, "But even with performance enhancers, I don't think Rhodey is about to let a civilian 'test' pilot with more crashes on his resume than years of experience beat him."

Strutting to the middle to the middle of the stage, Tony began to incite the crowd, whipping them into a frenzy before yelling over the increasing din.

“If you’re so confident about your winnings, then why don’t we bring our boys out here and show ‘em off a little, Rhodey looks damn good in uniform, get on out here Lieutenant Colonel,” Tony yelled waving to Captain Rhodes who was standing backstage shaking his head despite Tony’s persistent urging. Stane smiled, inside waving a hand to the right of the stage. A younger man with blonde hair walked onto the stage with a pair of black aviators and a brown leather bomber. A cocky smile hovered over his cleft chin while a wad of gum was smacked between his pearly whites.

“Ladies and gentlemen, it’s my pleasure to introduce to you the ruggedly handsome Major 'Highball' Jordan! A civilian test pilot for Farris Aviation, the Major was honourably discharged from the Marine Corps before coming to work for Karl Farris and his successor, the beautiful Karoline or ‘Spitfire’ who will also be flying for us.” Stane stated, walking forward to shake Highball’s hand before doing the same to Karoline and kissing the brunette on the cheek.

“That’s Major Major Jordan, sir,” Major replied leaning towards the mic, the smack of his gum echoing across the crowd. “But you,” He winked towards a young woman in the front row.

“You can just call me mMmm Jordan.” He added prompting a small giddy shriek from the woman before he stood tall again. A loud cough came from the unusually quiet Stark before Tony rushed back to the center of the stage.

“That’s great your guy has this whole McConaughey-Powell vibe going on, but Rhodey is a decorated member of our Airforce, active, not discharged.” Tony interrupted as Rhodes walked onto stage followed by a woman in uniform with the name ‘Danvers’ emblazoned on her blues. “Rhodey was given a medal of honour last year due to his service in an engagement above Kahndaq, while Captain Danvers here was top of her class in the academy and is the fastest climbing recruit the Air Force has ever seen.”

“It’s an honour to be part of this test, Sir,” Danvers replied as Rhodes shook Tony’s hand.

“Stark Industries supplied the payload for my plane above Kahndaq that day and without Tony and his family’s efforts to keep our country safe, our land free, I wouldn’t have been able to earn that medal. The least I can do is ensure that Project War Machine is tested to its fullest to continue the protection of this great nation.”

"Then may the best pilot win," Stane replied, shaking Tony's hand, behind them, the suits suddenly flew into the air, their remote operators guiding them out over the crowd before the congregants erupted into excited cheers.

Ultimate One Universe: Emergence

I think one of the interesting concepts I'm looking forward to is @Lord Wraith and his run as the Invincible Iron Monger Man.

I know he's not entirely sure what direction Starks going to go in, whether he's going to double down and become someone our heroes need to watch out for and possibly have to go against, or if he's going to get that character/movie change of heart and become someone we can rely on to help us out in a pinch. There's just so many different ways he can go with it.

I'm also really excited to see @Master Bruce and @Byrd Man take on their respective peeps, just because they're different from what we usually see them doing.

@Sep

Don't put this pressure on me to actually write full character arcs. Geez.

Collaborative Posts:
Forum post-by-post roleplaying is already a collaborative activity. A collaborative post should only be used in an instance where it would be beneficial, provided it does not lock players out of participating, bottleneck or unnecessarily throttle the roleplay. As this is a team unit-based roleplay, much of it will be collaborative with open floor discussions for the whole team to participate in. In the event you and another player are separated from the rest of the team, this is an opportunity for a collaborative post. However, when the team is together, if you post would be too short without a reply, I encourage you just to get the line or two of dialogue required from that player and continue to push the scene instead. Think critically about when to use a collab post and don't rely on it as a crutch to continue writing.

Posting Order:
Generally speaking, there is no posting order provided you're not posting at a rate which locks out other players from participating.

^{C H A R A C T E R S H E E T S P E C I F I C A T I O N S:}
Character sheets are to use the provided skeleton in the Character Tab. You are welcome to expand upon the base character skeleton, some additional add-ons have been suggested below the base skeleton. You may not remove any requested criteria from the base skeleton, nor may you, under any circumstance, omit requested information from your sheet. While some elements of your sheet could be expanded upon over the course of the 'In Character' portion of the game, you may not purposefully keep pertinent information from other players.

Information for the Character Sheets should be taken directly from the linked document above. Players may only create a Hyperhuman Character, any characters which are not Hyperhumans, including the supporting cast are not acceptable at the time of launch in this roleplay. Character sheets which blatantly have not read the provided information will not be taken into consideration for the game and thus denied. Additionally, it is requested that any submitted characters be created for this roleplay and not be 'tweaked' or repeated characters from other games. A lot of work has gone into creating this game, its setting and its lore. It would be considered disrespectful for a player to simply port a character from an existing or previous roleplay into this one. All characters should be a minimum age of twenty [20] and no older than twenty-seven [27].

In keeping with the themes and tone of the roleplay, it is asked that all players use photographic face claims for their characters. In the event, your Hyperhuman has a non-human outward appearance, some leniency can be applied to the rule, but it would still be preferable if you used a photo-realistic image if possible. Under no circumstance will the following images be accepted; anime, hand-drawn sketches, low-grade renders, manga, or any other comparable media. The intent of the Character Sheet is to imitate a file that the school would have, and thus any media which does not capture that vision is not acceptable.

^{C H A R A C T E R S P E R P L A Y E R:}
This roleplay was envisioned as a character-driven collaboration between players. As such, each player will only be allotted a single, primary point-of-view character. This character may be rounded out by a supporting cast which can consist of friends, other students, family or even staff or other residents of the school grounds. In the event that an active primary character is killed during the roleplay, that player may either promote one of their supporting cast to their new primary or submit a new character for consideration. In either instance, the new primary character will be expected to go through the character submission process as outlined in the following rules.

^{C H A R A C T E R S U B M I S S I O N S:}
All Character Sheets must be posted publically in the Out of Character thread for submission. Character sheets may be sent to the GM for coding help, but no review of the material will be performed privately. Any character sheets sent solely through a Private Message for submission will be ignored.

Please do not repost your character sheet in the OOC thread multiple times, especially in multiple states of completion. If you must post an incomplete character sheet to the thread, please link to the original post upon completion and tag the GM(s) upon doing so. Ideally, the only sheets posted to the thread will be completed and ready for review. Under no circumstance should a character be posted directly into the Character Tab with the exception of those belonging to the GM Team.

The idea behind this is to encourage players to sheets with complimentary attributes or abilities. A large emphasis in the lore is that Hyperhumans display more niché abilities than you see in other superhuman media. Additionally, having characters who are too similar increases the chances that only one of them would be accepted. Ideally, there will be a good mix of personalities and abilities amongst the cast.

At the time of launch, the roleplay will be accepting between seven [7] and eleven [11] players. If at a later date slots become available or additional are added, this will be communicated through an announcement in the OOC and/or through an Interest Check.

^{P O W E R S & L E V E L S:}
Hyperhuman abilities or powers can manifest in all shapes and sizes. This is covered thoroughly in the linked document above. As such, any abilities which do not match what is laid out in the lore, cross between Primary or Secondary classifications or use multiple classifications will be rejected and have to be reworked. Additionally, players should keep their abilities on the lower end of the power spectrum. While the Power Scale and Threat Level will be assigned by the GM, players should still tailor their abilities to fit within the lower end of these spectrums. As new students to Pacific Royal Collegiate & Academy, abilities should have room to grow and develop. If a character is already fully proficient with their abilities, then they have no use for a role at the school.

^{R E V I E W C R I T E R I A & P R O C E S S:}
Once a Character Sheet has been officially submitted to the OOC thread, the review process can begin. Initially, at the launch of the roleplay, the GM will give a date upon which they will conduct the first round of reviews. If you are joining the thread at a later date, please allow for a period of twenty-four hours after your sheet has been posted for the GM to review it. If the GM has not acknowledged your sheet after twenty-four hours, you may contact them directly to ensure it was not missed.

Character sheets will be reviewed in accordance with the rules laid out above. The sheet needs to use the correct skeleton, containing all the necessary criteria and in accordance with the information laid out in the linked document. If any information in the sheet directly contradicts or misinterprets the lore, it will need to be corrected. If all of the above is met, the character will then be evaluated against the rest of the pending or accepted cast. Each character will be evaluated for what they bring to the group and any completely redundant characters will be given a chance to change or update if there is an open character slot available.

As the GM, I reserve the right to deny, veto or otherwise reject any character application based on any number of factors that I find make the character unfit for this roleplay. This can include player history, perceived literacy, lack of understanding of the game's concept, unruly behaviour in the iCheck/OOC/Discord, towards the GM, and other players or simply a generally poor attitude. If all of the above are met, and the GM does not have any outstanding concerns, then the character and player will be accepted into the roleplay.

^{____________________________________________________}

^{G E N E R A L P O S T I N G:}
There will be absolutely no 'OOC' chatter in the In Character Thread. If you have a question or anything to explain there is an Out Of Character Thread and Discord both provided. You have no excuse to make an 'OOC' comment in the IC and if done it will be heavily frowned upon. Furthermore, remember that you are your character, so act like them. Create or portray their mannerisms, powers, and ideals to how they have been established in the game. Be the character, not just yourself with the character's powers. The notes section of your CS has been provided for such a reason, use it to help yourself remain consistent in character portrayals.

An example of the GM post format has been provided on the Zeroth post of the In Character Tab. This is not a mandatory format and is only a suggestion. Players may use the provided format or model their posts off of it. It is requested that all posts are easily identifiable as to which character is the primary point of view, especially in the event of a collaborative post. Furthermore, it's a good idea to indicate any interactions, or at the very least, if seeking a direct interaction to either talk to the other player(s) publically in the OOC or privately via PM.

Writing expectations for this roleplay are at least two [2] well-developed paragraphs as a minimum per post. Three [3] to five [5] paragraph posts however would be awesome so long as you're not simply chewing the scenery. Proper spelling and grammar are also expected but small mistakes here and there are understandable. Blatant offences will be called out.

You are required to post at least once within a period of fourteen days [14] after the GM plot post advances the RP and once every three weeks or twenty-one [21] days after your last post provided there has been no GM post in between. Extensions will only be given in extenuating circumstances. Please recognize your limitations before joining the RP, if you are unable to post once every fourteen days, then it's highly likely that you do not have enough time to keep up with the RP.

In the event that you do miss the deadline, your character will be listed as 'inactive'. After a further week of inactivity, your character will be expelled, and dealt with as necessary in the IC, whether killed or used as needed and then discarded. This whole process is simply easier if you just let the GM know if you're unable to keep up or simply have lost interest in the RP.

^{P O S T I N G O R D E R:}
There will be no formal posting order for this roleplay. That said, players are asked to wait for others between posts. If there have been no new posts in seven [7] days, then by all means if you can post again then please do so. In the event of interacting with another player, please do not consecutively post back-to-back, if it's not going to be a collaborative post, then you are leaving the option for another player to get involved. Please respect that and allow for that option. If this is not the intention, then please use a collaborative post to keep the interaction concise.

Each new scene of the primary plot will begin with a GM post. If you posted last before the GM update, you are free to post immediately again if you so wish. Players are free to run their own character-driven scenes, and those involved will be responsible for driving these plots and determining posting order and frequency.

^{P U S H I N G T H E S C E N E:}
Every post should push the scene that the character is involved in. If your post does not add anything to the scene and does not encourage interaction, or reaction, then you may want to rethink your post. Whether it adds to the GM plot, or a personal one, your posts should always add forward motion to keep the scene moving.

^{P U S H I N G T H E P L O T:}
In the same vein as pushing the scene, there will be times when players are required to push the plot. Information specific to you and your character will be sent out via PM or Discord which you can then use to push the plot. This can also be done in collaboration with the GM, especially as your characters grow and develop more throughout the roleplay.

^{R E A C T I O N S:}
Reactionary posts are the bread and butter of every roleplay. Be sure to consistently read all previous replies in order to accurately capture any details, especially those in GM posts and avoid the game of 'post telephone' where one player misinterprets a detail and this misinterpretation becomes persistent across the RP. Try to ensure that while a post may be simply reactionary to a previous one, that it's not entirely just a restating of facts from your character's perspective. As mentioned above, if the post doesn't push the scene, there's not a lot of value to it.

^{I N T E R A C T I O N S:}
Don't be scared to interact with your castmates. Players want to be interacted with and even those who are playing loner characters aren't looking to just go off in the corner of the sandbox.

If you find yourself in a plot with another player and they disappear, do your best to move on without them and quickly finish the arc to the best of your ability, or ask for the help of a GM.

^{C O L L A B O R A T I V E P O S T S:}
For situations where the focus is on interaction, a collaborative post is an ideal vessel to quickly and concisely complete the interaction without posting back and forth. Though as the RP is an exercise in collaborative writing, please do not become reliant upon only writing through collabs. Collaborative posts can slow down the RP, and often lead to stagnant periods of inactivity. If working on a collab, please keep the group updated, and if the collab has a natural breaking point, please post it in pieces to push the RP along. If you are only writing collaborative posts, you risk locking yourself and others out of opportunities for interaction. While collaborative posts are a great tool, they can just as quickly become a crutch. Please put as much effort into providing a solo post as you do collaborative ones.

^{S E X U A L C O N T E N T:}
This is an RP involving young adults and I realize that relationships are a part of this. While I have no problem with this I do want it kept in a specific way to avoid breaking any rules, site or otherwise. As part of RPG's official rules, mature content is forbidden on the forums. You may, however, use the standard fade-to-black technique if you desire, but any content preceding or following should be kept to a PG-13/14A standard (May contain: violence, coarse language and/or sexually suggestive scenes.).

In the interest of protecting underage writers, players above the age of majority [18], shall not write romantic situations or relationships with other players below the age of majority, even if they are within the age of consent. Special consideration can be given to individuals who are both within the age of consent [17 or 18 respectively]. If you enter into writing this kind of content, then it is assumed that both parties are within the same age bracket, whether that is above or below the age of majority [ie, both parties are either above or below the age of 18]. If you are caught lying, you will be evicted from the roleplay and reported to site staff.

I implore you to keep within the age restrictions set up already by the administration. Please use common sense if you're going to seek a relationship within the RP. You have been warned of my expectations on this matter and should you fail to follow through you will be asked to leave the roleplay and reported for breaking site rules.

If you join this RP, if you take the time to submit an application, I'm putting my faith in you that you'll be committed to it and that the character you play will be consistent with the one in the agreed-upon CS. Personally, I have a hard time with this sometimes and I understand that things just happen. That said I’m referring to suddenly giving a character new powers with no explanation or completely changing their backstory in order to add new skills. I’m okay with changes but I’d like a heads-up first so perhaps we can work a more natural way towards these things happening. In terms of commitment, dropping out of the RP randomly for whatever reason is a pain or a GM. Simply put, it wastes my time along with the other players.

If you do not think you can join and you're sure something will come up, do not join. Tendency to not care about an RP after a while? Don't join. Simple as that. I will work with you when it comes to bumps in the road. If you think you're going to be out for a couple of days, that's fine. I'll find a way to excuse you from the story or play your character. However, please let the group know as far in advance as possible. If you're going on a trip, tell me something. Do not leave me wondering where you are. Let me know so I can keep things going. I will work around you if you work with me when you can.

^{E T I Q U E T T E:}
Hyperhumans have enough problems in their world, so let's not bring that here. The goal of any roleplay is first and foremost to have fun. If we don't get along, then that's not going to happen and respectfully, not everyone will get along. If I'm not a good GM for you, then I'd rather we part amicably early on than go on rubbing each other the wrong way. Let us be respectful of one another, their ideas and their posts. Give each other compliments and constructive feedback, let people know you're reading their posts and build each other up. We're all here to tell a story, so let's work together to get the most out of this roleplay.

^{I S T H I S A N O R I G I N A L U N I V E R S E?}
This RP is based in what I like to call the 'Hyperverse'. It is a soft reboot and adaption of my previous original universes of Vigilance and the Mavericksverse. The biggest difference is the complete erasure of the heroes known as the Mavericks. This is due to the fact I only can claim the rights to one of the characters. In terms of differences from Vigilance, there have been several changes made to Hyperhumans, most notably the redefining of their abilities and limitations, an isolated power source, and a shared weakness. Any and all information relating to the 'Hyperverse' can be found in the linked Google Document.

^{D O R E A L W O R L D L O C A T I O N S E X I S T?}
Simply yes, while Pacific Royal Collegiate & University itself is a fictitious institution, it is still set on the very real Dundas Island off the coast of British Columbia and the country known as Canada. Real-world cities such as New York, and San Francisco, all exist with no changes outside of the Hyperhuman population and minor technological advancements made in the lore.

^{I S T H I S A D I R E C T C O N T I N U A T I O N O F T H E P R E V I O U S P A C I F I C R O Y A L C O L L E G I A T E & U N I V E R S I T Y R P?}
I envision this RP as more of a parallel universe. I'll be cherry picking events and plot points from that RP as I see fit and pending the submitted characters and their players' desires. However, I also want to move forward with a fresh slate and plot that are completely separate from the previous plot surrounding Hyperion but spring boarding on some of the aftermath from this RP's version of that plot's conclusion.

^{A R E N E W P L A Y E R S W E L C O M E O R I S T H I S O N L Y F O R R E T U R N I N G P L A Y E R S?}
As mentioned above, I see this RP as a way to have a bit of a clean slate. Thus, my desire is to have a mix of both new and old players to give the RP some fresh twists. If the RP was only going to be returning players then I would simply do a continuation. That is not this RP's priority or main intention.

^{D O I H A V E T O R E - A P P L Y I F I ' M U S I N G M Y C H A R A C T E R F R O M T H E P R E V I O U S R P?}
Simply yes. You may bring in your original character, however as 'Commencement' is not intended to be a direct sequel, nor directly connected to the 'Future Agents of H.I.T.', characters who appeared in the latter are subject to re-evaluation for this roleplay. This is to make Commencement welcoming to new and returning players so that everyone has an equal opportunity during the application process.

^{C A N I M A K E A N O R I G I N A L C H A R A C T E R?}
Yes, in fact, that would be preferable to adapting a character originally conceived for another RP. However, there is no penalty for re-using a character and it won't slow or affect your acceptance. As stated above, I've put a lot of work into crafting this universe and would prefer concepts built specifically conceived for this roleplay.

^{H O W M A N Y P L A Y E R S W I L L T H E R E B E?}
The aim is to gather between seven to eleven reliable players plus myself who will make up the returning students. If need be we can run the RP with as few as three. New players can be added down the road if our numbers dwindle and cause the RP to cease moving. If however, we keep a full roster or a consistent pace, there will be no need to recruit and no new acceptances will be made.

^{W I L L Y O U E X P A N D T H E R O S T E R W I T H O U T N O T I C E?}
No. The RP will stay limited to the original number of players. Recruitment will only be made if there is an agreed upon need by both players and the GM and if the plot makes sense for new characters to appear.

^{C A N I H A V E M U L T I P L E C L A S S I F I C A T I O N S?}
Hyperhumans are only ever one Primary Classification, with one Secondary Classification. This means any abilities that your character has must be justified under the single secondary classification. Characters may not have more than one Primary or Secondary Classification. This system was developed intentionally to move characters away from being a 'Superman' and more in line with Marvel's 'X-Men'.

^{C A N I U S E M A G I C?}
Characters in this RP are required to be Hyperhumans only. That said, no you are not able to use magic or gain your abilities from any other source. This means you can not be a vampire, werewolf, alien or demi-god.

^{C A N I H A V E M O R E T H A N O N E C H A R A C T E R S?}
You may only have one primary character in this RP, however, you are encouraged to develop a cast of secondary characters to interact with and challenge your character. It is more than welcome for each character to come from within different courses, programs and school teams. In the event that your character has died in the IC, you may create a replacement player provided you weren't removed from the RP for any of the reasons specified under the rules.

^{C A N M Y C H A R A C T E R B E B A D / E V I L?}
Your character should struggle with morality, after all, suddenly being gifted with powers above those of mere mortals could lead to some overwhelming temptation whether to get revenge or use them for self-gain. But that said, your character should not spiral out of control, or at least the group should step in before then. The overall idea is that our characters do become forces for good in the end. Keeping in mind the setting and organizations involved, were your character considered to be a threat to society, they'd be arrested by H.E.L.P.

^{C A N M Y S E C O N D A R Y C H A R A C T E R S B E B A D / E V I L?}
You are free to do as you wish with secondary characters. If you wish to mould them into an antagonist for the group you are encouraged to consult me and we can collaborate on how to make that happen. There will be opportunities for characters to shift alliances and become more antagonistic as the plot unfolds.

^{W H A T W I L L T H E P L O T B E L I K E?}
The plot will follow a new group of students who have recently arrived at Pacific Royal Collegiate & University. The RP will follow the typical 'super school' formula, using a balance of slice-of-life, school and superpower tropes while also building to a larger overarching plot. In this plot, characters and players will have a chance to uncover secrets that could shake the institution to its core. There will be moments of surprise, and betrayal. Ultimately the group will be given the chance to take to the field and test their mettle.

^{C A N M Y C H A R A C T E R D I E?}
Simply put yes. There will be moments in the RP where character death is entirely possible and I would like to treat these moments in as real of a manner as I can. Treat your character as vulnerable, and think through actions. If your character is vulnerable to gunfire and incites someone to open fire, they will be shot. Going into this RP you should know that in the event one of these situations arises, I will not ask if I can kill your character, I will simply do it. Abandoned characters will often be turned into cannon fodder.

^{I F M Y C H A R A C T E R D I E S, A M I O U T O F T H E R P?}
Absolutely not unless you had abandoned your character. An abandoned character means you've likely dropped the RP, or missed your posting deadline thus meaning you're out. If your character died by circumstance you are free to either make a new character or promote a member of your secondary cast to a primary role and continue as part of the RP. I also understand bowing out after the death of your character though.

^{I S A W A D R A F T I N Y O U R P U B L I C W O R K S H O P, C A N I W O R K O N A R E S P O N S E T O I T?}
Unless posted in the IC proper, any and all posts viewed publically on the forum should be treated as tentative and subject to change. I used my workshop for all many of ideas and drafts, and while I can't stop you from looking there to see what I'm creating next, I would just ask that you don't pull the trigger on any responses until the completed post has been put in the IC thread.

Wraith's Little Workshop of Horrors

"Highball!" A gruff voice shot from across the tarmac. "What to explain why the hell my personal aviation suit is green?"

"It's called style, Mr. Stane, something you'd know nothing about judging by the Hugo Boss Large and in charge fit you're currently rocking." The pilot in the brown bomber jacket called back whilst obnoxiously smacking a was of white gum against his coffee-stained teeth. A pair of black aviators sat firmly on the bridge of his nose beneath slicked-back hair.

"It's Armani actually, and my personal stylist picked it out. Doesn't explain why the armour is green." Obadiah replied. "You can't just paint the suit on a whim, we'll need to get our engineers to look it back over, and make sure the paint didn't compromise any of the calculations. I can't lose to Stark just because my suit jockey had to customize his ride like a teenager with his first Honda Civic."

"You worry too much, it's just a little flair. I can fly circles around Captain Rhodes." Highball replied, "Though, I'd kill for another test flight. The suit responds like a dream."

"Tony is a hell of an inventor." Stane reluctantly agreed, "Boy's been like a son to me since Howard passed, but I'd never let him know that."

"Why?" Highball asked, "Afraid it'll over to his already inflated head,"

"It's easy to take potshots when you're not in the trenches isn't it, Jordan?" A third voice interjected as Stane and Highball turned to find Captain James Rhodes standing behind them

"You can't be seriously defended that blowhard?" Highball retorted, taking his glasses off to look at Rhodes. "Tony Stark builds a great machine, but you can't tell me he actually cares about the 'Metahuman' scare. It's just a way to make a profit. I'm happy to collect a paycheque kicking your tail in the Blue Yonder, but you can't deny this is all a vanity project for the 'Iron Man'."

"You're entitled to your opinion Major Jordan, but I believe in Tony Stark and I believe in Project War Machine. The American people deserve to feel safe and I intend to instill that sense of safety in them by proving the capabilities of this personal aviation suit. The American people won't have to look to the sky and hope for a 'Superman' to save them, they'll know who is coming and they'll have the confidence it being a homegrown, American-built solution." Rhodes responded, taking a couple of steps forward before clapping Highball on the shoulder.

"Plus, I'll be taking all in this competition."

No. You don't get away with it that easy.

You better not do any more warnings or you won't be allowed any sex scenes.

@Sep

My goal is to include a sex scene in every post. Even if it's just a man getting in a suit.
