Introduction
The year 3000 has come and the world is in trouble.
The government of the United States has become lax and complacent. Instead of preserving the countryβs well fare and working for the common good they are content to rest on their laurels; collecting tax and letting their money pile up. Even the oldest of people can't quite remember when the last election actually was, even though the president has changed.
With the government taking the term laissez faire so seriously the U.S has turned into a sort of anything goes society.
Drugs that are illegal are sold in local coffee shops, murderers walk free among the masses, teenagers and children race cars at over 100 miles per hour on city streets, and about the only thing you can get arrested for is questioning the government, or possessing a weapon strong enough that it might overthrow them.
Right now the only thing stopping complete and utter chaos is the morals of a few good people and the remains of an ancient system.
But luckily for the world, that's about to change.
A teenage girl armed with her cousins vintage superhero comics and her parents banned superpower formula has decided the country needs help, and that caped crusaders just might fit the bill.
And that's where you come in...
Seven teens from the local high school receive an invitation to a birthday party for a girl they don't even remember seeing in the hallways. Forced by parents to attend the party they get quite the surprise when they show up. Though they're all very different they have one thing in common; they've all been arrested for questioning the government at some point in their lives.
When they meet the mysterious girl it turns out sheβs just the socially awkward introvert from the back of the class. But, although her identity isnβt interesting what she has to say is. She shows the group something ancient; comic books. Then she shows the group something much newer; a serum created to release a persons βsuper power.β
The girl invites the group to stand with her as new superheroes to protect people in the modern age.
A brief overview of the plotβ¦
So basically this role-play takes place in the year three thousand and is about a group of teenagers who decide to become superheroes like those they see in ancient comic books. They have their work cut out for them protecting people because the government does absolutely nothing but collect tax, a fact theyβd like to change.
The serum/ How they get their powers
Occasionally the government will step in and enforce the law, whenever someone builds a weapon that could take them down. Suffice it to say a serum that changes a personβs genetic code to unlock their super power is considered a threat by the government. Luckily they were able to stop the scientists who created the serum and βconvinceβ them to throw it out. Unluckily, the scientistβs daughter kept a batch, just enough for ten people.
HQ
Some super heroes have a bat cave; some have a fortress of solitude, we have a dumpy tree house. Itβs decently big, has one room, and is furnished with a couch, a rug, and a chalkboard.
[b] The characters
All of the characters are in the local high school and they can be anything from a freshman to a senior. Keep in mind that it is the beginning of the school year. Also, Iβd like to ask that you not make a character younger than 14 or older than 18. Please try to keep personalities and cliques different. I.E, if there is already one Jocko who is secretly self-conscious donβt make another one. Here is a list of personality types. Here is a list of SOME cliques.
For the most part Iβd like it if youβre characters went along with the superhero thing pretty easily, as it is the point of the rp. But if one or two takes a little more convincing thatβs cool. Also, if anyone wants to be a government spy just shoot me a pm, though Iβll only allow one in the group.
As a side note, I do have an idea of where this rp is going but any input via PM would be awesome. In fact if you just want to let me know randomly what direction you see your character going in, that would be amazing (but itβs not required.)
Super powers, and spandex.
Super powers should be original, and they donβt necessarily have to match a characters personality. Imagine how funny it would be if the tough guy grew pink butterfly wingsβ¦
Also, youβll see that Iβm going to ask for two pictures of youβre character, one as a normal person and one as a super hero. Neither picture should be an actual photo but any type of drawing, painting, or anime works. Their picture as a superhero doesnβt necessarily have to look exactly like the real person, because the reason they are wearing these spandex costumes is to disguise themselves.
At the beginning of the rp they wonβt have their superpower just yet, and even after they drink the serum it make take a day or two for them to figure out what it is. Naturally they wonβt be instantly amazing at controlling it. These characters are going to have to practice before they start leaping from building to building with no regard for their lives.
Trends and tech
This is the year 3000, so technology and trends have changed quite a bit. Now there are hover boards, solar powered cars, and holograms. Pretty much everything is a touch screen and cameras can be as tiny as a box of matches. Feel free to make up more technology as you go, but keep in mind anything more powerful of a weapon than a knife is banned to the general public.
Itβs 3000 so there are new styles, trends, and slang. But, because your characters are teenagers they control all three of these things. So feel free to make this stuff up as you go along, and then call other character uncool for not knowing it already. (If their was a character who was always in the know about the latest styles and trends they could be the one to do thisβ¦)
The setting:
This tale takes place in the united states. Characters live in the suburbs just outside of a major city. Their town is called Berling, and the city is Teterro city (shown above.)

Sin sat back down in a lawn chair. "Ok we are going to get costumes and names but do you have a plan after all that or are we just going to wing it." Sin still wasn't sure about this and then she herd Blake talking about some sorta computer program. "That sound super lame. Why would you use a computer when I have a giant closet. But what ever you guys can find your own stuff I want to go get my own." Sin like any spoiled girl had a giant closet with almost anything you could imagine in it. But the mass majority is all hoodies and shorts. She looked up at Lucas she normally ignored him and she did a pretty good job at that. "That was pathetic I could hear better jokes from my 4 year old cousin and he barely knows how to talk." Sin hates her ex boyfriend if she ever could get her hands on him!
Jamie
Jamie was running down the street in her soccer uniform she just had practice and there was no time to change.The wind blowing threw her hair she jumps over a fence now she is in a back yard. It only takes a moment before she jumps over the other side of the fence. She is back on the street running with ease not even breathing different. "Alrighty the party is some where over here I think." She grabbed on to a fence and peeked over "Not this house." She did the same to three others before she got to one. "Oh hey it's that kid that girl that sucks at sports." Jamie jumped over the fence pointing out Sin sucking at sports. "Hiya everybody I don't know if we have met but if we did I forgot!" Jamie turned around to Ron "Where's the food and drinks?" Jamie didn't wait for a answerer before going into Ron's house and searching threw everything. She came back with a small sucker. "So whats this party for again? Presidents day?"
Turning to Sin she shrugged, "I figure we can do some training until we all have a basic grasp of our powers. Then we can go out and patrol for petty criminals to stop."
Looking over lucas's shoulder she whistled, "Nice job on the art wor-"
Ron was cut off by the sudden arrival of Jamie. The girl hit the room like a whirlwind, popping in and out in a matter of minutes. Before Ron had too much time to recover she was back, this time with a lollipop.
"So whats this party for again? Presidents day?" Jamie asked.
Ron blinked a few times before replying, "umm...no..it was for my for my birthday but it's not actually for my birthday.. okay you know what!" Ron through her hands up in frustration, "I think I've explained this twenty times, anyone else wanna take a crack at it?"
Lucas was busy with his work when the new girl came up. He managed to catch a glimpse out of the corner of his eye but it took his mind a minute to register. By the time he had fully figured out what he had saw the girl was already gone, back into Ron's house. Goddamn she was hot! Lucas turned away from his art on the chalkboard and the girl came back with a sucker in her mouth. Lucas' imagination took a much more sensual image. "Anyone else wanna take a crack at it?"
"I got this!" Lucas spoke up without hesitation and walked over to the girl. He held out a hand to shake. "Hey, I'm Lucas. I don't think we've met." I'd remember a body like that. "You mind stepping outside so I can explain while these people do whatever unimportant stuff?"
Jamie
Jamie looked at Lucas's hand she grabbed it and shook it. "You got soft hands boy.What lotion do you use." She followed Lucas outside. "So what's with all the slow pokes here. No one seems to be having fun." Jamie looked around the others seemed to be annoyed with her but Lucas seemed existed to see her. Maybe he saw her in a game and was a fan she knows a couple people that love her for her sports. But he seemed sorta odd oh well Jamie didn't mind she just wanted to find out what was going on in there.

Adam Stryker
The piano was old, but still sounded fantastic as Adam tapped at the keys. Baldwin Grand from the year 1912. Classic. A gift from his grandparents for learning to play. Now he used it to captivate an audience of adolescents. "Sir! The voice was a woman's. She was in her early 20's. Long brunette hair. Classically attractive. Taking her wouldn't help Adam's social status any. So he didn't. "Your mother is at the door. Says she had mail for you." The woman whispered. She was an intelligent lady. Didn't really belong in this line of work. She should've been a lawyer. the world's loss was his gain though. "Thank you. I will go deal with he." He whispered back then turned to address the crowd. "It seems a street urchin has wandered onto the premise. I'll go deal with it. For now enjoy loud, repetitive music and the spiked punch." He glanced over at another woman. Older, late 40's. Dirty blonde. She wasn't as smart and picked the perfect line of work. This one had picked the perfect line of work. The lady pressed a button on a stereo system next to her and loud bass blasted through. Adam smiled, a positive reinforcement technique, then headed for the door.
Just outside stood his mother. Looked to be in her early 60's. Was actually only 48. She looked like she had been starved....and freshly beaten. Probably one of her clients with some screwy fetish. "Adam!" She ran towards him, her arms opened for an embrace. "Please!" He held out his hand and his mother stopped in her tracks. "I'd rather you didn't touch me. I know what you do for a living." Pain was strewn across her face. Honestly, Adam felt a little bad. Only a little. "You have mail?" His mother handed him a piece of paper and then started talking about things at home. He drowned her out as he opened the letter. Who still used letters? Anyone who wanted to contact Adam did. He pretty much didn't exist on cyberspace, except a dummy account for sending out invitations to his own parties, and only gave his cellphone number out to important people. Ron Denning's birthday party....Who the hell is Ron Denning? He couldn't remember the name at all. He was intrigued. Hadn't done anything to get in trouble recently. "-we really do miss you back home.'
Yeah, I'm sure Louie misses me a whole lot. He looked back up at his mother. "This party is today...when did you get this?" His mother fumbled for words. "Ugh! You're useless! Get off my property." Once again his mother gave him a hurt look. He honestly didn't give two shits this time. "Off!" She turned and started walking towards the gate. Adam turned and walked over to the basketball court. There were a group of students, all half way to wasted, trying to get a ball through an elevated ring. Adam had to admit he truly enjoyed the game though. "Hey Kyle! I've got another party to get to, can you make sure no one breaks anything too expensive?"
A skinny guy with red hair walked up. He was well built for his light weight. He was also the best basketball player on the team. Adam would bypass him someday. Unfortunately today was not that day. "You're already at a party! Who ya ditching us for. " Adam glanced again at the invitation. I honestly have no clue who I'm ditching you for. He thought He couldn't admit that out loud. "A cousin. I forgot it was her birthday til my assistant reminded me. Don't really wanna go but you know how it is with family."
"Aw man. That sucks. Well check ya later!" What a lame turn of phrase. Check ya later! Slang was so incredibly dumb sounding sometimes.
