Not sure if I’ll have the time, but I love Worm so count me in.


Long time no see lol. Happy to have ya! :D
Greetings! Here to pitch another concept o' mine, and see where it lands. The Wards is an RP set in a similar, but different, setting to the Worm series; if you haven't checked it out, I highly recommend it, though it does get rather dark. It also won't be a requirement for participation, though knowing some things about it might help in the long run.

Our story takes place in the coast-side fictional city of Redline, right on the southern edge of Maine. Bearing a rich (...for better or worse) history with Capes (a common term for superpowered individuals), Redline has been dealing with heroes, villains, and everything in between for the better, or worse, depending on perspective, of the past 100-ish years when powers began emerging. But now, things are changing. Pieces are moving into place, and there'll need to be a response. But there are only so many heroes....Thus, The Guardians, the premiere Cape team of the United States (and Canada), alongside the Parahuman Response Team, an organization founded to protect when heroes cannot be found, have set something into place; The Wards Initiative.

With the Director of Redline's PRT acting as the lead in this initiative, they intend to take in youths anywhere from Middle to High School with powers, and try to get them to be the heroes they can....Hopefully be.

Beyond that, yeah, I'll say it; while you can guess between my mention of 'Grimdark', as well as this being marked 18+ and Horror....On some occasions, shit's gonna hit the fan, for lack of better term, and it won't be pretty. This RP probably isn't gonna be for the faint of heart, and our little kid heroes here aren't always gonna walk out of every situation 100%. But I can probably guarantee it won't be as grim as its source material lol.

In the interest of not cluttering this any further, this is where I divulge to the public. Whaddaya think? Like it? Love it? If you've got questions, just say the word; looking forward to seeing if this can pick up anyone's interest. :)
Aaaaaand here's a villain idea.



Well then. I know you mentioned this thing somehow being under the control of the villains, but still...Wow. xD. Doesn't seem like the most interesting thing to RP as, but who am I to say? Redmaw is accepted!
@Mintz - Ah, my apologies. I had made a mistake in reading. I do wish you the best of luck in this work however.


Uh, yeah...I'm saying you are happy to join up. xD
@Mintz This rp has my interest. Are you still accepting characters?


Yup, what my man Lewas here said! I'm sure eventually I'll seal things up, but for now, I'm happy for more faces pourin' in. Welcome aboard! Lookin' forward to seeing what you might have in mind :)


Location(s): Paradox Engine (Central Controls, Testing Grounds, Luncheon Room)



Whatever Brainstorm had done to the Central Controls with his access, it seemed to bring the room all the more to life after his departure; various screens began to illuminate as power once more ran through the systems, and the machines began their various designated processes. To any of them, the text of any of the screens present was completely illegible, a foreign language unlike any other...But even without the gift of words, some of the intentions of these consoles could be made clear.

For one, it showed video feeds across the station; or at least, it should've. It seemed that much of the feed was inaccessible for the moment, although it was being slowly restored, with vision made clear in the Testing Grounds and Luncheon Room, where onlookers could see some individuals warping into the rooms. For those in the know, these were, of course, Terra in the Testing Grounds, and Danny alongside Tai and Agumon arriving in the Luncheon Room.

However, the most jarring thing was when a voice began to echo through the chamber; perfectly clear and articulate, though it had a synthetic edge to it that made it clear that something artificial was speaking. Or rather....Making observations on the remaining individuals. "Systems online. Identifying unknowing individuals..." Those remaining in the Control Center were none the wiser as to what was happening....Except for KITT. Beyond the human eye, while he could not detect a source, infrared scans were being passed across everything in the general area, KITT included.

"Entity Giovanni Potage. Designation: Soup. Universe: EE Prime. Confirmed. Entity Asta. Designation: Anti-Mage. Universe: BC Prime. Confirmed. Entity Knight Industries 2000's Micro Processor, alternatively K.I.T.T. Designation: Spycar. Universe: KR Prime. Confirmed. Entity Rarity. Designation: Magic Equine. Universe: MLP Prime. Confirmed."

After that....An eerie silence. Whatever had just happened, and whatever had done what just happened, didn't seem to care about conversating with the strange arrivals.



The Testing Grounds might not have been what Terra anticipated. Some weapons-grade super-factory? A training area for unnatural super soldiers? No, it certainly didn't fit any of these images, and likely nothing else she could've puzzled together. After the jarring warp to the top of this station, she was met with a dim hallway, only barely lit by the pulsing red lights that seemed to travel down this expansive, one-way hallway. These light sources were attached to somewhat menacing archways. In fact, some might remark that they looked like gateways. They looked to be built tough, each one standing a solid ten feet away from the last, as the Testing Grounds stretched for what felt like forever. It seemed unrealistic for someone to have to walk through this whole thing.

Though, adjusting her eyes to the darkness, it would be made clear that that wasn't how they handled traversing this location. Across the empty stretch of the room (if you could call such an expansive place a simple room), two tracks of conveyor belts seemed to lead off; one forward, one back. Maybe a bit primitive compared to the teleporter she had just used, but hey, who knows? Maybe it was to save power, or maybe it would have just been too inconvenient to work something else in.

Regardless, there were two other stand-out details here. One was that next to each of these gateways was a stand of sort, with a built-in pad; one side of the pad seemed to be for some form of data processing, though all of them seemed shut off in that regard, though the other side showed what looked to be a handprint. Some kind of palm scanner. Then, there was something else....

The gateway nearest to the transporter had a green light, instead of red, and the data side of the pad was online, funneling information through. Nothing Terra would be able to make heads or tails of, but being the only one active in the room was certain to be...Interesting.



The Luncheon Room was a far different story; like an old-school cafeteria, fluorescent lights shone across the area, where a number of tables of all sorts stood, seating anywhere between three to six, if judging by the number of seats themselves. All in all, the room could probably fit well over a hundred people, ready to dine. While clearly there wasn't anyone on duty big surprise, it wouldn't take Danny or Tai much effort to recognize a spot near the back that looked to be where food would've been doled out, if their schooltime sensibilities weren't failing them. Behind that spot, a heavyset metal door could be seen closed tight, with a small drift of briskly cold air coming from it. Some kind of freezer, perhaps? Regardless, around there was hopefully where some grub could be found.
@Atlantic@XoXKieroBombXoX

We've, uh....We've got a car here now. Did not see this coming. Although I can't see any reason to deny it xD Not to mention this thing sounds pretty awesome. Accepted! Get 'em over to Characters :)

And now, the zombieman with the plan, Karl Heisenberg....Cool! I mean, even in-world, the regenerative factors of the Cadou experiments isn't unbeatable, since Ethan, a dude with just a buncha guns, is able to out-gun them and kill them (usually after a lot of other bullshit, but still lol), so I don't think even that needs a nerf. Overall, really awesome character to have in here, and is an easy accept!
And that's my final hero (*ahem*, 'heroine') done and dusted. Expect future apps here to be on the ne'er do well side of the divide.



Also, almost missed her, but yeah, Rarity's accepted.
@Randomness@Dead Cruiser@Eviledd1984

Starting with Sylar; mostly fine, barring a few things. Firstly, I don't wanna give him the chance to go nuclear, if only because it means any confrontations with the heroes could boil down to 'stop or I'll blow', and not many of them would be willing (or able, really) to call his bluff....If he even intends for it to be a bluff. Still, I'll let him be able to let out an outburst of radiation energy. Not nearly like a nuclear bomb, but still fierce, enough to cause serious damage to enemies, allies, and likely himself, though not enough to outright kill him. So it can still be a big move, but not a huge enough threat that it forces the heroes' hands every time lol

The telekinesis will also need to be lightened; no splitting people into pieces 'n stuff with it. Could still lift some heavy-duty objects and chuck 'em around, but with more difficulty and a smaller weight limit than prior. But beyond that stuff, I like him. Accepted!

Data is a great addition, as, well....Our great heroes were lacking many bright minds, to put it lightly. Accepted!

Last but not least, Ash....First of all, can I mention how weird it is we're gonna get two evil-slaying gunmasters in the hero team? xD. Joking aside, I can't think of anything to hold him back; accepted! Get 'em over to Characters :)
And here it is!



Gonna read through the IC once my day gets a little less hectic.


Glad to have ya man! And surprisingly, Asta here's the first proper anime/shounen kinda rep we got...Anyhoo, having read over him, nothing seems to stick out as too concerning, and hey, more teen heroes! xD You're accepted! When you can, throw him up in Characters. :)
