> SUPERHEROES

A great many moons have past since the story of the superhero was told. The mind seems to have forgotten of such tales of greatness and heroism. But why? Why would the stories of men in tight suits and capes fade and vanish from the world? Despite being 2337, it doesn't seem likely that crime has been completely conquered because conquering crime will never cease to happen. In a world with mortals, guns, and independence, violence, hate, and injustice will always survive. So why - why would the world rid of superheroes? Simple… C.O.R.E.

C.O.R.E. (Criminal Organization Removal Embassy) has been thwarting criminal acts and gangs since the beginning of the 2300s. The most advanced minds of the century are working to predict crimes before crimes even happen. Those who even think up a crime are immediately sentenced to death. Such a harsh punishment for just a thought? Yes, it sounds cruel, but in this world, punishment by death is the only way to rule the people and prevent heinous acts.

Most people don't seem to mind the world they live in. Science is at an all time high as is technology. Cars can fly and people can link minds to communicate. Clothing can be changed with just the blink of an eye. Touch screens are far more advanced then ever before; wearing specialized gloves you can touch and alter the air before you, making a magical screen that displays what you wish. The inventions of Stark Industries is a thing of the past. His legacy died ages ago (in 2180 to be exact) and a new creator stepped up. Although, this company did not fair well with the people and eventually vanished in 2290. Forever revolutionizing the world, it was Kaine Industries that shaped the world people now live in. Everything you see , touch, and own was probably designed and affected by Kaine Industries.

It was actually Mr. Jackson Kaine himself that created C.O.R.E. Although, when he created it during its youthful years, C.O.R.E. was simply a military company that guarded poverty stricken areas. As the company grew, so did C.O.R.E. Today, C.O.R.E. now stands at the heart of everything, watching, protecting, and saving the city from the hands of injustice and evil.

Only, despite being able to foresee crimes before they happen, C.O.R.E. has a serious flaw. A flaw so big that, if leaked into the wrong hands, could turn the world toward chaos and warfare, two terms that haven't been heard in over two centuries.

A band of men have discovered a way to block C.O.R.E. from reading their thoughts and, with the help of some of the more sketchy looking men on the planet, they seek to hack into C.O.R.E. and steal the hardware. Rumor has it, if you can steal the hardware that runs C.O.R.E. you can rule the world.

Ruling the world. Doesn't that sound a bit… cliche? What if I were to tell you that ruling the world also meant reigning control over the thoughts and actions of all those that live on this planet? And what if I said you could control the planet - altering its weather, terrain, and shape? As you can see, C.O.R.E. is too strong and too dangerous, especially in the hands of those with sinister intensions.

A single scientist by the name of John Roberts has discovered this troubling issue. He fears that C.O.R.E. will be used for injustice and, being a rip old man, John is unable to do anything. Turning to his computer, Jenny, he prays that she can compile a list of humans who are capable of undergoing a dynamic physical and emotional change. A change so great that C.O.R.E. will seek them out and try to put them to an early grave.

John, on his death bed, formed a program called H.E.R.O. in a last ditch effort to save the world from impending doom. With the faint click of a button, Jenny sent invitations and messages to those humans that John hand picked to become a part of H.E.R.O. The message read as follows:

Dead Chosen One,

You have been selected to undergo a series of test, altercations, and rigorous training exercises. Should you not want to change yourself, I suggest you just ignore this message. But, should you want to become something more - something greater - you must go to Fourth Park Avenue Greenwood Circle. There you will meet an android that will explain everything.

Sincerely,
Doctor John Roberts

Now, obviously, most people dismissed this message as junk, but a select few decided it was the chance of a lifetime. Jumping at the opportunity, these individuals have no idea what they are about to join. They are joining a cause that could, potentially, save the world. They are, without a doubt, going to revive the stories of the past, the stories of the 2000s. The stories of… superheroes.

This will be a group roleplay that's still in the works as I need to make a map and all. Probably should spell out some more history and stuff, too. But, for now, I'm just looking to see what my headcount is.

I'll need superheroes and, of course, my bad guys. You will be allowed to play more than one character, but I'm going to cut you off there. Meaning, no more than two.


[ le characters thus far ]

Wavi: Sideless Wonder; Bone and body manipulation (Kimimaro rip off)
Ever_After: Superhero & Villain; Telepathy and Telekinesis
Kiyoto: Double Agent; Walking Battery
Whimsical Sadist: Double agent; Jedi-like mind powers
Triquetra: Superhero; Super pervy stalking skills

> SUPERHEROES

Okay, we'll open this request thread up and work on our headcount. If you know what kind of superhero you want to be - powers, looks, etc. - feel free to post them. It'll help give us an idea as to who will be who.

Thanks.

Put me down for two please. I'll play a bad guy and a superhero if that's okay. As for super powers I'm going to go with Telepathy and Telekinesis.

Fun fun! Can't wait to see them. :3

I'm bored XD so I may spice up the role play with a double agent kind of idea o.o or a double double agent lol. His powers would deal in energy, and most likely be as follows:

Energy sourcing: Ability to draw power from large or small but abundant sources of energy, such as turning kinetic energy into physical blasts.

Power Mimicry or Absorption: Ability to copy or absorb another's powers or skills. (linked to energy sourcing, since he would be absorbing their energy)

Power Augmentation: Ability to enhance or weaken the powers of others. (linked to energy sourcing, since he would be manipulating energy)

best way I could put it is, he would be similar to a kind of mix between rouge and gambit. A walking battery if you wanna say for energy XD lol.

Superpowers List - Should anyone need help coming up with powers, you can reference that. :)

o.o What an interesting way to label him XD it was just an example, but works for me.

I'm a lazy bum so I stole your words. And they were funny.
I think that should be his hero name "Walking Battery." lmao.
NO I GOT IT.
"Energizer Bunny."
LMAO! XD

XD lol he just keeps going and going and goung o0o.

Not sure I want to start this with only three people. If we can't get more, then I guess we'll just graveyard this idea. ^^;

Oo; Which section would I make this under? Futuristic? Fantasy? Unsorted?

Sweetness I've always wanted to be a heroine/villianess :squee:
Is I too late to participate? :poke:

It should be still open :D lol

Woo! Awesome! ^^
I shall get a move on then :boogie:

Lol, sounds good XD

Well I've always wanted to make someone twisted and who played by their own rules :squee:
So I'll do that for my character.
For her it's whatever "game" that attracts her attention the most. Either the side of evil or good. So, I suppose a double agent? :XD
Her powers mostly are dealt with those that can be used to her advantage and whatever will stop her opponent.

Superhuman Agility: Ability to react faster than a normal Human and to possess greater flexibility and with higher/farther jumping capacity

Superhuman Tracking: Ability to track an individual or object through supernatural means; sometimes referred to as "pathfinding."

Power Sensing : Ability to sense or recognize superhuman powers.

Memory manipulation: Ability to erase or enhance the memories of another.

Psionic Blast: Ability to overload another's mind causing pain, memory loss, lack of consciousness, vegetative state or death after having created a psionic link into that individual's mind.

I found quite a few that fit her category but I think these flowed well together :oops:

W00tz. Another new person. Only thing I ask that, when roleplaying, you use a darker color for your posts. The light colors annoy me as they are harder to see in my screen.

Aye Captian! :mrgreen:
Pfft. Jedi-like? Are they really? :lol:

I wanna join! And I wanna be a good guy thing. Cause there are a bunch of bad guys and double agents already. But I'm thinking of a Wolverine-ish character. Kinds comes and goes, works with their gut, and is a good guy in the fuck you sort of way xD Not to mention dead sexy. Cause sex appeal is very important! For power.... Making cakes of all types randomly appear?

Naw, but seriously. I'm feeling something like Super healing, Super Strength, Super senses. Things like that! Not invulnerability though! Cause that is lame! Oh oh!! And I want Night Vision... Remember that sex appeal? xD I'm so bad.

Pervy stalker. Check. :P

Sweet! I'll show you I can creep on everyone!

-_- And the creep award goes to... Trikikikikiki.

I think I'll make this next week! So be prepared for awesomeness. B|

Yay! Can't wait :boogie:
