Roleplayers Wanted for "Project Oddity"

The Story:
In 1979, the first parahuman, a human with supernatural abilities, or superpowers, was "discovered." Ever since then, heroes and villains have been battling it out in the streets of major cities as if real life were straight out of a comic book. But with the advent of parahumans, as if the world must only make the chaos worse, five cataclysmic "monsters" called The Abhorrents were released upon the world, and no one knows who made them or why they attack. So now, all around the world, life tends to go on normally, except for the typical cape skirmish or two in a city per day. Capes, the slang term for superheroes, have a huge cult following, and some villains even have fans online. The war between good and bad may seem black-and-white on the "good" side, and greyer on the "bad" side, but when The Abhorrents attack, all capes must put aside their differences to fend for their lives. The fully structured plot is not known to the players at the time, however I know it, and there IS a plot.
Image
The Reason: The reason for this roleplay is mainly to explore fantasy themes and fantastical powers in a modern setting, smart phones and internet included, and to explore the social, political, economic, and other ramifications of both humans with superpowers and cataclysmic monsters with near-apocalyptic abilities. This roleplay was heavily inspired by the online web serial "Worm" but it does not take place in the same setting.
Image
The Difference: Unlike most other roleplays going on right now, Project Oddity is set in a modern (2017) setting, on an alternate-earth where events started to split and differ in 1979. Things are just close enough to be recognizable, but far enough that knowledge of our world's history after 1979 probably would make you stand out in a strange way in this world. Also, despite the modern setting, characters with superpowers means you can have characters themed however you want, sci-fi characters with technomancy or gadget-related powers, or superheroes wearing knight armor and calling themselves "Gallant."
Image
The Expectations: Project Oddity has high expectations, with character-accepting only being achieved if your character sheet has adequate information, and "Literacy" literally being Rule 1 in the roleplay. Players in the roleplay will be expected to drop well-written posts with at least a few paragraphs, and show an understanding of high-school graduate level grammar. Though that may sound daunting, the roleplay will be kept with a pace to keep it from becoming stagnant as you try to write a lot, and players may find themselves enjoying the "advanced" type of roleplay for a change. However, not every post needs to be a multi-page essay. Each writer has to have cohesive thought and organization in their post, which will vary in size. For example, depending on the moment, short (read: two or three paragraphs) concise posts are needed, such as interaction between characters. Other times, a large post perhaps, or medium post will be used during a character's "alone time," or development. Each writer is expected to keep up, as well as stay on track with not only their character's story, but the world story as well. Not to mention, they have to be aware of their surroundings when in-character, so as not to disrupt the flow.
