Intro
“…and it was yet another stunning victory! Our city is safe, once again. As always, any damages can be directed to the Committee, always ready to clean up both your finances, and the city!”
The news is a buzz in the background, as it always is. One rule that’s stuck in every child’s brain is to always be on the lookout for the news. You never know what might happen. Every child, every adult, every teenager has the Hero App to tell them when an attack is ongoing. It’s a way of life.
You’re prepared for the day. You have the App open for notifications. You have your small assortment of weapons to protect yourself if need be. You have the knowledge of what to do in an emergency drilled into your head. Your definition of emergency might be a little different from what they used to be, but they’re definitely there. Luckily, those emergencies aren’t common.
Years ago, it might have been terrifying. The knowledge that there’s magic that could destroy buildings in two seconds might have been horrifying. You wouldn’t know. You’ve grown up around the idea of magic, aliens, the supernatural. You don’t know anything else.
If you look outside, you might see two men battling each other in the middle of the street as people pass and duck if one comes their way. You might see a woman in spandex ordering a coffee. You might see someone with green skin and reptile eyes perched on a roof.
You exit into the chaos without batting an eye.
Welcome to the world.
Roles
Superheroes – usually well-known in the public. Most often, they have specific morals which include nothing extreme when apprehending someone, such as killing them. Some might be a bit looser than others, but at the end of the day, they choose to save people and put their villains in prison. They don’t always have power. Sometimes, they’re normal people with extraordinary ability, but no otherworldly abilities to help them. Superheroes were the first to bring attention to the fact that magic, the supernatural, and life outside of earth exists.
Villains – not always the worst of the worst, but they definitely have more power to cause chaos. Sometimes, they’re small time villains. They’re not a big deal; they get thrown in jail, but they’re also able to banter with their heroes and make small talk and, if they know each other’s identities, they might grab a coffee. If they cause chaos, then yeah, they’re going to jail. Sometimes, they really are the worst of the worst. They’re locked up to the best of the heroes’ abilities. They’re cruel, manipulative, and death and torture most often follows them.
Vigilantes – not heroes, but not villains either. The anti-heroes and anti-villains that save the day from the shadows. Their morals are never quite as tight as a superhero’s. They’ll do whatever it takes to control chaos, even be a criminal themselves. Still, their morals are usually higher than that of a villain’s. They’re a sort of grey area, one that stops crime and saves the day but doesn’t wish for the spotlight and may even be condemned by one side or the other for being such a grey area.
Civilians – those that don’t fight crime. People that go to school and work and have normal lives. They usually don’t have powers or any special skills to get them into that life. They might be criminals, but they’re not villains. Civilians all grow up with the rules of how to survive their world. Depending on the normal amount of crime in their city, they may even go about their days even as a battle is happening or someone is trying to rob the store they’re in. They don’t have special training, but protocols have been developed for superhero-related situations and most tend to carry something just in case anything goes wrong.
Corporations – companies that assist in superhero situations. Companies, such as The Committee, help with clean-up and evacuations. They also keep situations under control if a hero is not around to immediately do so, produce materials to help civilians stay safe, and pay for superhero-related damages. They keep civilians from going bankrupt because of having to pay for damages, and they help keep everyone safe in their own ways.
Things to Note
*Magic exists, as do supernatural creatures and aliens. Who says there has to be either sci-fi or fantasy?
*Other cities also exist, but the main city this RP focuses on is Erisil (more explanation in the locations section). Real life cities also exist.
*Even though it’s stated multiple times that the people in this world are more hardened, that doesn’t mean they’re not scared of attacks—they just know how to be prepared.
*If it exists in the DC Universe (i.e: alternate universes, time travel, etc), it probably exists here too. But, uhh, that can get a little hard to manage, so maybe don’t do time travel.
*Hero App is basically just a mobile app for people to input their city to get alerts on any super-related incident
*This RP is totally based mostly on the DC Universe, and the city is definitely based on Gotham. Marvel elements might be in here somewhere, but I know close to nothing about Marvel beyond Spiderman, Deadpool, Johnny Storm, and the Avengers, so.
RP Rules
1. Forum rules are my rules. Anything “intense” straying over PG13 territory should either be moved to PM or skipped over.
2. No overpowered characters. Try to keep powers to one specialty and skills to a minimum. Remember, everyone has flaws! It’s not fair when one character has too many specialties.
3. Please be literate. I don’t ask for more than four sentences (though it would be nice), but at least three sentences so we have something to respond to. 3-4 sentences at minimum.
4. I understand that life gets in the way sometimes. Please be active, at least. I give you a few weeks.
5. Hopefully you all have enough sense to include everyone in this RP.
