"Mankind Fears What It Doesn't Understand"

joseph-martinez-skyline-07-final.jpg

It was 2030 and human discovered that among them, there were a few that different, more special than the rest of us. How special ? They're able to cause super natural phenomenon just by themselves, from their own mind or body. To start a fire from the palms of the hand, to possess a skin that's made of steel, or to stay under water as long as one desire. In another word, they're far more superior than a normal human in one term or another, they're Super human. The appearance of these "Superhuman" soon caused a huge impact in our society. Some of us wanted to know more about them, we wanted to learn about them. Some of us believed it's unfair and wanted them away from the human society, some of us believed they have rights and deserved a place in this world. Some believed they earn a higher place in society than the regular man. And to some, they should sacrifice for the next evolution of mankind, at all cause. Whatever the world wanted from them, their lives wouldn't be the same anymore. People with these gifts, whatever lives they had before, it would be different, people around them would treated them different, the authority would treated them different. But sooner or later, some of them, they would want to these gifts... to be stripped away... Because that's the nature of mankind.

Background
The setting of this roleplay takes place in 2030, when humanity discovered the existence of many gifted individuals among us. These individuals were able to possess and control superior abilities such as controlling elements, changing their shape or physically superior than a regular human in one way of another. For this, they're shortly labeled as "Superhuman". The existence of superhuman is discovered in 2025, when an organization called Institution of Super Human Advanced Research & Development (I.S.H.A.R.D) revealed themselves publicly to the world. I.S.H.A.R.D claimed that they were founded to help superhuman around the world, to help them control themselves and to find a place for them in society.

I.S.H.A.R.D was a real place for superhuman, and their appearance truly saved the life of many superhumans that were living among society, hiding their gifts. But soon, because of it, there were other organizations that surfaced, and their best interest wasn't for the superhuman. One of the largest example would be Phoenix, a paramilitary organization, their core belief is that superhuman must devote to the next step of human evolution, at all cause. Phoenix supports the principle that any methods of advancing humanity's ascension are entirely justified, including illegal or dangerous experimentation, terrorist activities, sabotage and assassination. Ever since they're founded and started to operate, the lives of many superhuman were in danger as the threat of Phoenix agents could find, capture and experiment on them. This threat was real enough for ISHARD to form a special unit to protect the superhuman.

About
So... for short, this roleplay is about superhuman/mutant/inhuman fighting for their lives and a place for them in society. So basically you can play as anyone you want, from either side, you could be a young superhuman, an ISHARD staff/agents or a Phoenix agent/soldier. (anyone except the leaders of these groups, or any positions as world leaders, high politicians,...)

Certainly would be interested! Though I would make the tiny suggestion of having all the players in one faction? Might allow things to flow easier if we're all on the same team. (This really reminds me of Hellboy and The Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense - B.P.R.D.)

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

(P.S, Heyo my dude! It's been ages, how did the Japanese thingy go?)​
 
Becker Becker I don't... really have a plan for now loll, and I'm for sure haven't got plans for the other faction - Phoenix. And I guess if I don't have any plan for them then they can just free-roam at the start (of course not too freely) xD. I'm still not sure if anyone want to play the bad guys. I kinda want to see more opinion about this.
hwayi hwayi glad you liike it xD, watch this thread for more update later.

also, where do y'all think I should put this ? Modern or Fantasy (since I saw lots of mutant/superpower rp putted in the fantasy and actually attracted more players)
 
I voted for I.S.H.A.R.D. as it's just as easy for someone with 'powers' to become a villian as it is to become a hero. Such people would need to be either controlled (self or otherwise) or they would need to be enlisted into a organization where their powers could be used in a monitored enviroment. (My character's view-point at least).

I'm thinking of making a character who used to be a police officer and was shot several times during a bank robbery. Normally he would've died on the spot but his body seemed to absorb the lead and metal that struck his body, rather than tearing flesh appart, the foreign materials bonded with his body and strengthened it. Although higher calibre rounds (such as 50. and larger ammunition) would certainly surpass his absorbing abilities. Pistol, shotgun and rifle rounds are absorbed/bond with his skin to slowly replace the flesh so during this roleplay, he'll become more material than man whenever he gets shot.

Who knows if there's a threshold to how much he can absorb overall or at any one time? Will his muscles become rigid as they turn to lead/metal, trapping him in a prison that is his own body?
 
oh Becker Becker your character ideas always sound so exciting xD.

Also, thank you all for taking interest of this idea. As I expect we will reach 10 today. I'll start with the threads today, it shouldn't be long since I want to get the rp started soon as I can, but there are still a few things to be finished and I'll also need to finish my characters. Soon I'll create a discord server for ooc discussion as well. Please watch this thread for more updates

At the moment, we're still looking for new players.
