Ever since the 1930s or so, superheroes and villains have been a part of life. Radiation gives people strange powers, eccentric billionaires build powersuits and enact vigilante justice, and mad scientists create weapons that threaten the world. By 2020, this has grown more common, with around 1% of the population possessing some form of extraordinary ability. Still, very few people have the courage to become a true hero, and those who do are idolized. Some heroes register themselves with the US government to receive public backing, but many others don't want to deal with the increasing number of regulations and constant attention, so they opt for a secret identity instead. The first wave of heroes was based in New York City, and it's still home to more superpowered activity than any other metropolis in the world.
This RP is set at Hudson University, a mid-size school of about 10,000 in the Bronx neighborhood of New York City. It sees students of all kinds, from all over the country and abroad. And this is easily understood, considering that the school seems to have something for everyone. It offers generous financial aid programs, and the Honors College is prestigious enough to steal top students who want a more affordable alternative to Ivy League schools like Columbia. Beyond the Honors College, the school is split into several academic divisions such as the School of Letters and Sciences, School of Engineering, and School of Business. Since Hudson U hasn't been prestigious for as long as Columbia and NYU, its code of academic conduct is less strict and it's known as a place to conduct unorthodox and questionably legal experiments.
From a residential perspective, the majority of underclassmen live on the part of campus called the Lower 30, so named because it takes up 30 acres on the south side of campus. After sophomore year, some students stay here, but the majority will either live in fraternity or sorority housing or find an apartment off campus. There is an enormous range of extracurriculars on campus, ranging from varsity and intramural sports to entrepreneurial groups to clubs for superhero enthusiasts. There's even rumors about a secretive society called the Nether League with connections to the criminal underworld (or maybe even the literal underworld), but if it even exists, recruitment is highly selective.

1. Don't be a jerk.
2. Refer to rule 1.
3. Try to post at least once a week, preferably more often if your character is actively engaged in a plot that other people are invested in. Posts should be at least a short paragraph and demonstrate basic literacy.
4. Since this RP has action elements and a college setting, it will likely involve violence, drinking, drugs, coarse language, and suggestive themes. But please refrain from describing gore and explicit sexuality. Follow RPN rules, and fade to black when necessary.
5. When making characters, remember that no one is perfect. If your character is significantly more powerful than Wolverine or Spider-Man, give them a serious flaw to balance out their abilities, or otherwise some justification for why they don't just easily solve everything.
