- File001PreludeGods. Prophets. Madmen. Heroes. People with unique abilities that go beyond human capacity have existed as long as civilization has. They used to lurk in corners or step into spotlights, twisting their existence into mundane and miracle alike. But that time has passed and a new age has settled over the world, a new order, a new beginning.
Where do they come from, these superpowered beings? Human or something else, something more? The question stays while the answers vary. Radioactive waste. Aliens. Born mutations. Science gone terribly wrong. Whatever the reason, these people are something else, something awe-inspiring and incredible. Something dangerous. They carry the capacity to shape society or tear it down, to build and to burn.
Or to sit back and watch.File002The New AgeIn the year 2071, the person who simply called themselves The Prophet revealed to the world a cataclysmic power buried beneath their skin. With a single point of their finger, they decimated entire cities, killing millions of people and throwing the world into chaos. Like a wave, people flooded from the woodwork, people with strange and incredible abilities. Some fell in line with The Prophet, seeking a world where they ruled over the ordinary. More brave people stepped forward, putting their lives on the line to stop The Prophet and their disciples. War waged for nearly a year as these parties clashed and the world suffered.
Until a group of five people stepped forward, united, powerful, and determined. They managed to take down The Prophet, managed to win with only one single causalty around them, a woman who called herself Ursa. Ursa sacrificed herself in a blaze of blinding light, killing The Prophet and sending their followers running.
The war for the world was over but The Prophet had a dangerous impact on the world. Not only did they throw the world into disarray, but they also brought about the revelation of powered individuals. The results were devastating. Conflicts popped up across the world. Genocidal persecution ran rampant against powered people. At first, the number of powered people appeared to be small but it quickly became clear that the numbers were far beyond what anyone expected.
Seeking a solution, in 2075, the United Nations teamed up with the heroes that had saved the world. Together, they created the Ursa Agreement, named after Ursa herself. The Agreement set forth a list of guidelines to protect both powered and non-powered people. Most countries adopted the Agreement easily, including some not aligned with the United Nations. In short, the Agreement called for a census of all powered people. Those that wanted could lead ordinary lives as long as they never used their powers or used their powers in productive, beneficial ways. Or, if they so chose, they could join the Sentinels, a team of heroes that helped humanity and enforced the Agreement. The Sentinels were independent, unaligned, and self-governed. Sentinels were also employed and well compensated.
Unfortunately, like most things, the Ursa Agreement was flawed. And the Sentinels, like all powerful institutions, became a breeding ground for corruption. Powered individuals began to keep their statuses secret or use their abilities outside of the Sentinels. And powered villains became more and more commonplace and emboldened.
While the world now enjoys some modicum of peace, that peace is tenuous and brittle. One misstep and it could all come crumbling down.60%STORY
- File003The SentinelsAn independent protection force dedicated to helping others and stopping dangerous individuals. Sentinels are powerful individuals given special privileges. They are well compensated. Sentinels train for several years, learning how to hone and control their powers to their fullest extent. Some Sentinels go out into the world to simply perform good deeds. Other Sentinels fight Villains, dangerous powered individuals. Some work desk jobs or coordinate from behind the scenes. All Sentinels work together.
Some Sentinels only work part-time, keeping their civilian identities a secret from the public. These are few and far between. Most Sentinels eat, breathe, and sleep their work. They are considered "career heroes" and their identities are public knowledge, with the exception of ones that work with sensitive information. Senior Sentinels are the face of the organization and are often elevated to celebrity-like standards, especially those that fight Villains. But the majority are just worker bees in a hive of powered individuals.File003VigilantesVigilantes are powered individuals that don't associate with the Sentinels. They often help with petty crimes that the Sentinels overlook but some go for the bigger fish, Villains, The majority of Vigilantes are not registered with the Ursa Agreement, leaving their identities a complete mystery. Vigilantes usually work alone but also operate within a vast network.
Vigilantes are at constant odds with Sentinels because, by avoiding registration and acting out in dangerous ways, they violate international law. Sentinels are required to try to catch Vigilantes when possible and being caught can often earn Vigilantes a life sentence. However, many view this as a necessary risk. Some think that the Sentinels simply have too much power. Some think the Ursa Agreement hurts more than it helps. Many Vigilantes are non-human people who cannot be registered. Some simply want the freedom that the Sentinels don't have.File004civiliansSome powered people just want to live their lives. They want to go to school or to work. They want to fall in love, and have a family. They want to be ordinary, even if their abilities are extraordinary. Some powered civilians sign the Agreement happily, seeking the protection that comes with the Agreement. Others simply keep their head down and hope that no one asks too many questions.45%FACTIONS
- File005OOC MessageHello! Welcome to this roleplay! Save the World is a dark fantasy/scifi roleplay. It has darker elements and has a vaguely cyberpunk vibe to it. If you want to join, please leave what Faction your character will be in and what you want their power{s} to be.File006Rules
- Follow all RPNation rules.
- Again, this is a dark roleplay. A certain level of maturity is expected. That being said, you should still have fun with it! Superheroes are fun after all. Make jokes, Goof around. Just be ready to buckle down when you need to.
- If you have an issue with drug and alcohol usage, social issues, different orientations, or anything of that sort, feel free to leave now. On that note, steamy stuff has to fade to black and go to PM (and follow all on-site rules). I don't want none of that. I don't care if it's mentioned, just don't go beyond that. Please respect other people's boundaries as well.
- Every character has an important role, so don't worry about your character not being important. If you want something specific to happen, I am willing to work with you. This is largely a sandbox world and I am willing to accept mostly anything, but it has to be within reason. That being said, aliens exist in this world but no fantasy creatures {fae, goblins, etc}. If you have a bit of an unusual idea, shoot me a message!
- Characters can be morally gray. However, no one is a villain. There is the main villain for the story that will be played by me specifically. Most of my characters exist to help your characters, though I hope to roleplay with you as much as possible. If it seems like my characters know more, that is intentional. This is collaborative, however! Feel free to guess at plot points, and build your own storylines. If you don't even want to be part of the main storyline, feel free to go off on your own. Live in the world and explore, build some lore.
