Introduction
It is human nature to be curious, to create wonders with the scientific knowledge you gain and imagine new fantastical things. It is human nature to be greedy, and violent, and to use these things for selfish and hurtful reasons. It is human nature to draw the lines you will not cross and to cross them, to suffer, to hope, to succeed, and fail. Humans create gods and monsters, they are gods and monsters.
It is the year 2563 in Metropolis, United States.
In a world where science has made terrific leaps, unexpected consequences have occurred. From the hushed hazardous gas spills to the radioactive phenomenon, humans have at times held powers only thought up in comic books. But unlike comic books, the villains that rose up are not born innately evil. Everyone is just a person, surviving in whatever way they can. Sometimes that means rising as a gang boss to ensure your family is well off and your kid gets into college. Sometimes that means robbing an old lady for her groceries so that you donβt starve; or tossing your baby to the streets because you canβt feed them. Donβt cringe, there are worse things done in this world. Crime has gone steadily up at an alarming pace, while the economy worsens and living conditions plummet; leaving a wide gap between the rich and poor. New drugs enter the market, and with as intense as the new street drugs are, half the population is barely even lucid enough to notice the injustice surrounding them. Chaos reigned for quite some time, until...
The US government attempts to declare Martial Law that is how bad it was. But the attempt fails, and thatβs how bad it got. It is organized at the moment to where the criminal public agrees to keep the crime to a minimum, no bombing elementary schools and such, and the cops are required to look the other way when it comes to things like petty theft and drug dealing. A disturbing and unhealthy balance forms, where crime remains steady, and justice remains literally blind...

But there are those who would not stand for such a twisted way to give in to this way of life. Criminals and desperate people are not the only ones who had developed powers. Unfortunately those vigilantes who wonβt stand for such an illusionary peace are outnumbered and attacked on both ends. The public wants this balance; they believe it canβt be helped, and so those trying to stop crime are looked down upon. The government seems to be supporting this view, and has developed a lynching law. Thatβs right, if a vigilante is spotted, it has been declared legal for the public to lynch them on sight. Here, the good guys are kept as disorganized as the bad ones; if you can even call them good guys at timesβ¦
Meanwhileβ¦.
But while he waits for his companion to join him, up in the space station, the technology used has had an unexpected short out, easily fixable by the handy man. But heβs dead. The programmed computers shut off, and the companionβs programming is lost. She awakens, as new to the world as a child. Impressionable and ready to soak up any information that comes to her super-geared cortex or a mind. Will she be used to tip the scale of justice and reject her purpose? Or will she embrace her destined purpose? As a vigilante finds her after she accidentally transports to earth in the middle of the street, it is up to him and those who decide to aid them in order to teach this new being what it means to be on the side of justice. But can they do that if theyβve begun to see that line blur?
From the information above, I am sure you have gathered that this rp is at its basic form, a vigilante and villain rp. But rather than keeping it generic and simple, I wanted to stem off from that sort of clear-cut line and get a bit more realistically in depth. Heroes that play dirty and are vicious, villains with relatable

The sign-up information and a few suggested roles I need are in the ooc, mind you the term roles does not mean that those slots have any requirements in the creation of your character, simply in what they do in the beginning so we can get this show on the road. As of now they are not needed except for one, and the rest can be npc-ed. For characters though, I would like to see some unique powers and abilities, with weaknesses that are valid, not BS weaknesses like being arrogant or reckless. Those are personality flaws and belong in explaining your characterβs personality, not weaknesses. Tell me what you are bad at for those, what could counter your character's ability, anything they are simply not good at. Same goes for strengths. Basically I want anything you put on your profile to be well thought out and important. Also, don't be afraid to go look at others people's profiles and have some sort of connection to them! All it takes is a pm, and boom, you're connected; it makes things more fun that way. You can either play a 'good' guy or 'bad' guy, now mind you good guys are hated by the general population, though there might still be that little kid out there that looks up to you, and the bad guys are kind of ignored. Good guys must keep a low profile lest they get lynched. Keep this in mind when making your character; I'm sure it will change a few things when thinking of your character's outlook on life. As with any good rp, no mary-sues or gary-sues please, I will give you a review of your character before I accept it, stating if the profile is good or not, and other than letting me see a sample of your writing everything should go smoothly. I am keeping little banners here to keep track of who is on what side and linking the profiles to the pictures so that we can be sure to have easy access whenever we wish. If you can not make a banner for your character be sure to let me know in the ooc, put ina request and I will be happy to work on that for you. I am sure I will also get a volunteer or two to help make those two, that would be appreciated. Go check out the roles and some ideas I have in the ooc, sign-up your character and lets get this show on the road!
