SO! My RP partner (@Ms.Ezra) have come up with another RP opportunity! For your consideration...
===================
Once upon a time…
The Earth was in a bad way. Rising evil threatened to overtake the planet at any moment. Beings of immense power and cruelty sought to destroy all that had been built in the world, and to enslave its people.. But others possessing power just as immense seek to protect everything we know. Their hearts are noble, their cause just.
The Justice League served as the template for all those that had come after. The Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman stood as shining beacons for all the world to look to when all seemed dark. Time and time again the Justice League (in all of its forms) beat back the evil that threatens all, both on our little world and others.
And then one day...it all ended.
"Welcome to our viewers in Metropolis and all around the world! This is Jake… Tetran… I'm getting word from our producer now. Just hold there with me, folks." The newscaster looks towards someone offscreen, silently asking 'is this for real?'. "Okay… confirmed now reports from the Daily Planet.. Superman has been rushed to Ellsworth Memorial Hospital with a possible fractured arm and head injuries! Reports are he fell right out of the sky onto the Daily Planet building…"
"... was in the middle of stopping a police chase in Central City when he just… stopped. Famed Justice League founding member Green Lantern can not activate his powers, reports say."
"...Happening all over the world now! We don't know if this is temporary, and the Justice League press agent stated only they were investigating. Again, the members of the Justice League seem to be… well depowered is the only word I can come up with!"
"The heroine known as 'Cyclone' is at Harvard University right now after saving a distraught student from harming himself. During the press briefing, while putting on an impressive display of her powers, she suddenly found herself on the ground and exclaiming… quote.. 'The winds are gone now, I can't hear the winds!'... unqoute."
"The criminal Louise Lincoln, AKA Killer Frost, was apprehended this morning when she attempted to rob the Gotham Diamond Exchange. Reports at the scene say she had frozen several officers when her powers seemed to suddenly stop working, and officers used the distraction to inflict a nonfatal wound to apprehend her without further incident."
It seemed to happen instantly. All over the world, those with 'superhuman' powers… suddenly were powerless. It didn't matter where they were on the planet, or what their power was or its origin. On January 9, 1998 at 10:15 AM (EST), there were no more metahumans. Superman was no longer...super. No more than you or I. Hero, villain… no more powers. At nearly that exact moment, Las Vegas was reduced to a radioactive wasteland, with 700,000 people dying almost instantly.
Many former metahumans died that day also… in Vegas and from their powers being deactivated. Several beings formerly with powers died due to falling from the sky or moving too fast on the ground, or a number of other reasons.
This disastrous day came to be known as '1/9/98', or simply '98.
And still later, more former metabeings died. Some killed themselves; unable to deal with their lives with no powers, and seemingly with no purpose. Others disappeared under mysterious circumstance like The Flash, and have never been seen since.
And in the days following, fate took an odd turn with Lex Luthor. His company began to set up rehabilitation and aid centers all over the world to help these former heroes and villains. They are called 'Arcadia Havens', and they became an invaluable tool for the world at large.
But nature found its footing once more. On May 17, 2005 across the world, there was a spike in ER visits. This was so spread out however than local governments and agencies took no notice. People had sudden fainting spells, and other than that no reported odd effects of whatever had caused the spike.
Keywork being, reported.
13 years later, a single metahuman is found in Africa. That would be the start of something big, an eventual revolution. And for Lex Luthor life also became revolutionary. In a surprise bid, he easily secures the Republican nomination for President and on November 11, 2016 Lex Luthor becomes President of the United States, thanks in large part to a grateful community of former metahumans.
2 years later
The present day. A 'school' is opened on the east coast of the United States. It's called 'The Argo Academy' funded and operated as a joint project between Wayne Enterprises, Palmer Tech, and Queen Industries. Special students across the world are invited to live and learn on its campus to enrich lives and improve the world at large.
The general public suspects, but does not know for certain, that this is an academy set up to help a new generation of metahumans cope with and use their newly emerging powers for the good of the world. That is at least the goal of its founders.
===================
This RP will be taking place in a DC AU, one where metahumans haven't existed for about 20 years. The Academy will be the centerpiece of the RP, with the world expanding as our story does. You can use an original character in this, in fact we encourage it. Your character can be a descendant of a former hero, someone we've never heard of… just about anything you can think of!
Each player will be allowed 2 characters. 1 character must be a 'good guy', someone that would do right by the world. And the other… if you want… can be a character that wouldn't exactly go out of their way to be helpful to others. We hesitate to use the words 'villainous character', but there ya go. In the future, there will indeed be a baddie group, after all.
We want this to be a long term thing. Please don't sign up if you think you won't last in it, or you're to busy to devote time. We would like at least 2 posts per week (minimum!), and a good size post at that. We're looking for good writers! Good story tellers! We're looking for 3 to 5, at our discretion.
And yes there's gonna be a posting order with collaborations between two or more players for a conversation between them.
If you're interested in helping us to weave this story of a new generation of DC, then please respond below with whom you might be interested in playing! We'll have CS's posted in this thread after we determine who you'll be. We do have some restricted characters, due to plot details. Yes, we have plot details. We actually have nearly the whole bible of this world written out, including what has happened to certain heroes and HOW all of this happened!
