WE ARE HEROES (click for more info)



Welcome to Project Perseus
87FYVND.gif






We used to be a respected organization. Flashing your badge used to make jaws drop in awe. But now our name is tarnished. Those that use the Powered for injustice and selfish gains have dragged our name through the mud, leaving us beaten and broken. We had to retreat underground and reorganize. We lost thousands of good agents. Now, we need your help. We know what you're capable of and we need you.


Will you help us?







Overview
This roleplay is loosely based off the Marvel universe. Characters are intended to be original but can be based off of canon characters in Marvel. Any characters with powers must be given weaknesses of an equal caliber (i.e. characters with a particularly strong set of abilities must have a particularly easy and/or simple weakness) and must have a threshold of power. Characters can die, but only with permission of the creator. As always, no god modding and/or Mary Sues. Characters are permitted (and encouraged) to have past relations with other characters.



Misc RP Details
Replies should be 2-3+ paragraphs in length and should add to character and/or plot development. Don't be afraid to fluff up your posts. That often livens them up! You should be able to post at least one reply every 2-3 days at a minimum. If you can reply more often, then that's great!


Character sheets must be approved before you hop into the roleplay. CS must include name, abilities, weaknesses, personality, background, and age at a minimum. Format is up to you. As always, more than that is welcome (and encouraged!). Characters can also be regular individuals. You're permitted to play more than one character as long as a CS is submitted and approved for each. A CS is not required for minor filler characters when they are necessary. If you have any suggestions, comments, or questions, let me know!



About H.E.R.O.E.S.
The organization H.E.R.O.E.S. is very S.H.I.E.L.D.-esque in nature. It used to operate above ground and was wildly supported as a method to register and maintain Powered individuals. After a series of incidents and a power struggle with another organization, H.E.R.O.E.S was forced to retreat into the shadows. They now operate entirely undercover from hidden bases and their forces are much smaller they than had previously been. Current agents are generally very suspicious of newcomers and Powered agents rarely use their abilities unless absolutely necessary.Anti-Powered sentiment is at an all-time high across the nation.
About the Location



H.E.R.O.E.S. mainly operates from a hidden bunker deep in the woods of Pennsylvania. Recruitment commonly takes root in New York City, considering it has a high concentration of Powered individuals. However, skilled agents of H.E.R.O.E.S. may travel to more distant locations in pursuit of a particularly strong or interesting Powered individual.

Consider some interest. Not one usually for superhero stuff but I do have a small urge. I'd just be curious to know a bit more about the world myself to get an idea of how the roleplay will be functioning outside the idea of an underground organization.

Do you any specific questions I could answer?

Well was more broadly asking, but if more specific wise.
What is the general theme as far as heroes go? Is it going along the lines of having things such as Mutants, Science related, Other worldly beings, and/or Magic?


What is the general make up of the world (is it multi-dimensional, such as having other worlds like Asgard or such things)?


What is the general theme of the roleplay? I understand its kind of like the Marvel world, but with the group being more underground. Are super heroes a well known thing or something that is kept hidden away from the public or treated more as just a myth that are know to be true to some but not fully believed by others? Are there active threats to humanity that are well known or is it something that hasn't happened much outside the rare Villain?


Is there any sort of governmental regulation on those with super powers or system to keep tabs on people with extraordinary abilities?


Setting wise is this modern day earth following along with our technology? Any variations as far as history that is prevalent, particularly in regards to super heroes existing?


Just a few random questions I could toss together in regards to the setting. Sorry if its a bit much, just what I generally was thinking of when it comes to the setting I would want to know. ^^;;

I didn't have a specific theme in mind for the heroes. My character's origin story is science-based and, given the sentiment surrounding them, natural mutations/ones stemming from experimentation are probably best.


The general theme will be H.E.R.O.E.S. trying to rebuild the organization and regain credit because they believe they are better equipped to deal with Powered individuals. People know of the existence of heroes but anyone with superpowers is treated as an active threat. As for public enemies, there haven't been too many incidents. Enemies of H.E.R.O.E.S. have been forced to retreat underground as well.


As for governmental regulation, there are checkpoints going in/out of major cities which are DNA scanners to identify Powered individuals. People are categorized into one of four categories. Green means that they are powerless. There are no restrictions on green individuals. Yellow means they have a mild, primarily harmless power. Yellow individuals are not permitted to leave their city of origin without express permission from the government. Orange means they have powers that have a small to medium potential to harm others. Orange individuals cannot leave their city of origin and must carry around an identification card with their abilities and weaknesses on it. Higher end orange individuals may be detained. Red means that they have powers that are viewed as a weapon and are immediately detained.


Besides experimentation that can potentially make superpowers possible, technology is majorly the same as ours. Perhaps slightly more advanced. I can't think of any major historical events that might have altered the timeline at the moment. Some may come to me later.


I made most of this up as I wrote it so hopefully it makes sense and answers your questions. (^U^)

Is this a linear story or an open-world, sandbox deal?
It's probably going to be more of an open-word sort of thing with some established plot points.
 
@RealisticFantasy Alright, I got a general idea of things. So things like magic/magical beings or involving other dimensions like Asgardian like ones or demons wouldn't be around? Just asking since it does cut down quite a bit of potential complexity with the setting. :P


So for the sake of classification, I assume someone technology based like Ironman would be classified as a threat despite having no abilities due to the technology they have available to themselves? Just wanting to classify to get a better understand of the system the government uses if there might be an element of prejudice against 'mutants/people with powers'?

Maybe later in the storyline other dimensions and such will be involved. But not at first, no. And yes, anyone with an Ironman level of technology would be equivalent to a red level of an ability.
 
Looks good! I'm only in two RPs at the moment and tbh, they're going a little slow, so I figured I would join a few others (:
 
Gotcha, working on pondering up an idea since my initial one wouldn't work. Shouldn't be too hard to think of something interesting. :P

What was your initial idea?

Involving some magical/dimensional stuff, but its something I know that adds complexity and extra layers which can take away from things. :P Its something I know that can hamper a setting its partly why i questioned to make something fitting. ^^

Ah. I'm going to revise my character sheet before posting it because my character is originally from a Captain America 1x1 I hosted. Also, I'm looking for someone to play a character who was on their original Avengers-esque team (and is a potential love interest?). So if that peaks your interest, we can discuss it.

Hmm... alright. Not quite sure yet. Going to be pondering a little bit coming up with a character (in the case of super heroes, I tend to focus on the powers and then develop from there since it does flow better that way for these types of RPs :P ) so I'll see what things I fumble together if it might fit that idea. Don't mind someone else picking that part up if they had a better idea. My mind is chaotic throwing together concepts. ^^

No worries. Take your time. I totally get it.
