TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
VOLT PATROL
URGENT SITUATION IN CHINATOWN
The Chinatown district of Voltapolis has always been a booming trading and business center. Artisans and merchants always find the crowd or niche for their goods. Everything is tightly regulated to avoid any illegal smuggling, black markets, and back alley dealings.
However, in the past few months an American-Chinese smuggler known as LONGWEI YU has been bypassing local laws to sneak in various animal body parts. He's the gang leader of the most infamous black magic circle in Voltapolis, and their activities have gone up all across Chinatown lately. When they stuck to the underground, they weren't having much of an effect. However, now that some upstanding residents of Chinatown have reported his whereabouts to the local authorities, Longwei's goons have doubled… both in size and in quantity. Their black magic circle is nicknamed DRAGON'S TAIL and on top of illegal smuggling of animal parts and similar nasties, their distribution of OPIUM has increased. They are a nuisance for Voltapolis' outstanding community standards.

Character sheet
Name: If you don't want the other players to know your character in "real life", you can leave this out
Alias: Necessary. No offensive names pls :)
Secret identity? If no, MUST have a Name
Age: Min 18, max 45 (unless special reasons)
Appearance (civil + costume if applicable): Pictures would be appreciated for civil, but description is fine. Please no anime pics!
Superpower: You MUST have run this by me or Snakey BEFORE posting it, if not your sheet is automatically denied.
Reason to join: Why would they need to join a group of makeshift superheroes?
Bio: A bit about your character, family, life objectives, day occupation. At least a few paragraphs.
Hexcode: Since collab posts will happen, I would like all of us to get used to using coloured-speech text! Most players have a black background, so please keep that in mind while choosing your colour :) Here is a useful colour guide by Holmishire.
- Requirements
-
Very simple rules to follow to be eligible for the recruitment!
- You must be 18+ to join. This is more of a personal preference, I feel more comfortable roleplaying with people my own age. Sorry bluestars!
- Sexual content is allowed as long as it follows the rules of Iwaku for non-Redstar bedroom (non-Libertine) roleplaying. PLEASE READ THIS!
- Do not post the CS without first confirming with me if the superpower is OK. I want to avoid overpowered characters, this is street level. If a bullet cannot hurt you, you are too stronk.
- This roleplay is aiming to be fun and light, maybe a little silly. There might be some "darker" themes or scenes, even death -- but mostly this is just to relax and have not-so-serious fun. Please remain polite and respectful.
- Character diversity is strongly encouraged. This is a modern setting in the USA after all, even if a fictional city.
- I will be reviewing your character sheets completely, and will PM you if I think there is something we need to discuss.
- All the tags are relevant to the roleplay. If something makes your uncomfortable, perhaps this is not the RP for you.
- My words are law! If I tell you to fuck off politely, well, please do so c:
- Join the Discord channel so you can interact with your comrades!
- Please chose a hexcode (color #) for your dialogue text. PLEASE!!
- Please do not do any meta-gaming. We have an OOC chat channel to discuss character options and the like, but please: player knowledge is NOT character knowledge!
- This universe is near-futuristic. The tech is more advanced than what we have today. Please swing by me any kind of "special" tech you would like to have.

[fieldbox="Ms Mayor, #ff9500, solid, 15, courier new"]
Name: Rin Maki
Secret identity? REDACTED
Age: 48
Appearance (civil + costume if applicable): Japanese, 5 feet 4, 120 lbs. Dark brown eyes, long black hair usually in a tight ponytail or bun. Often seen dressed wearing perfectly tailored pantsuits, Rin enjoys wearing more casual clothing in the comfort of her home.
Superpower: REDACTED
Reason to join: She has her own reasons for joining along some missions with the other heroes, though mostly she will be leading them from the comfort of her office.
Bio: Rin Maki became mayor of Voltapolis two years prior to the current events. She was born in America, but her parents are first generation immigrants from Japan. She speaks fluent Japanese, English, some Mandarin, and Spanish. She was never married, but had a daughter who passed away a decade ago, from a mysterious but violent crime. The mainstream story is she got mugged and was accidentally killed by the mugger. Rin's mind has never been to rest about this unresolved murder, and it was one of the reasons why she began campaigning for mayor a couple years ago.
When she was finally elected, she swore she would bring to justice even the pettiest of criminals, and does not condone vigilantism. However, as recent events have gotten out of hand and even the local police force was unable to deal with supernatural and superhuman crimes, the mayor decided to contract an unnamed benefactor to recruit citizens and make a "legal" vigilante group called Volt Patrol. Each individual was recruited from the form sent by postal mail, and everyone was hired on the basis of their powers and their reasons for joining.

[fieldbox="Police Chief, #b0ae00, solid, 15, batang"]
Name: Arnold Mackenzie
Alias: Old Mac or Chief
Secret identity?: No, but whenever referencing him during a mission, he strongly insists his name is not mentioned, and instead referred to Chief or Old Mac. He does not want to put his family in danger.
Age: 60
Appearance (civil + costume if applicable): He is 5 feet 11, 190 lbs. Mackenzie is usually seen in dress pants and a dress shirt tucked in his pants. He sometimes wears suspenders and a coat, but usually he'll go for a pretty simple look. He wears thin-rimmed glasses.
Superpower: None, he is a regular human. He is an excellent police chief and has the right drive to lead a group of people.
Reason to join: His hand was forced by the Mayor, he did not want to get involved in superpowered people nonsense.
Bio: Arnold Mackenzie, whom no one calls Arnold except his wife (even calls him Arnie, the audacity!) is married to Juliet Mackenzie. They have two three older kids (25, 29, 32) who do not reside in Voltapolis. Mackenzie was born in the city and has never left it. He does not have a very positive opinion on mutants and their kind, but he is obviously extremely respectful of the law, as he represents the law. He is courageous but not dumb – he will always think two, three, four times before jumping into action and will evaluate every possible outcome to his actions.
He is a moderately stubborn and grumpy man, but most say this comes with old age. Indeed, at 60, Mackenzie is only a few years from retirement and honestly just wants his city to be peaceful again. Perhaps that is his biggest drive: have a golden city where he can chill for the rest of his days with his wife Juliet.

[fieldbox="Longwei Yu, #ca3200, solid, 15, courier new"]
Name: Longwei Yu
Alias: Great Dragon
Secret identity? Publicly, yes. Towards the authorities and most of his circle, no.
Age: 41
Appearance (civil + costume if applicable): Chinese-American, 6 feet 2, 185 lbs. Tattoos on his forearms that read "Only God can judge me." Short dark brown hair, light facial hair around his mouth and along his jawline. Two piercings on his left eyebrow, along with a bunch on both his ears. Longwei usually wears expensive suits and has them tailored to be fireproof.
Superpower: Pyrokinesis. Longwei can create, shape and manipulate fire up to the size of a human head. His powers originate from a pact he made with a demon however, they are not innate. He practices black magic, and that where his powers originate. He can summon demons and evil entities through long and arduous rituals, but there is never any guarantees that they will obey him. Because of this, Longwei is constantly plagued with wraithlike aggressiveness and anger.
Reason behind Dragon's Tail: Originally just Longwei and his two brothers, the small coven was formed when they discovered they all had some kind of natural magic ability. Their rituals required specific animal organs and body parts, which at first they could discreetly acquire. But now that their coven has grown, they run an entire black market venue of resold various animal parts. Longwei's eldest brother overtook their father's business for drug trafficking as well, including opium and heroin.
Bio: The Chinese-American man is married and has a few offspring running around. Not much else if known about the man.
