superpower rps are my lifeblood. i feed on them. but so many of them are related to x-men and xavier's school or original schools that im craving a... less academic place for my characters to roam. not that superpower school rps arent cool!! they are in fact v. radical and near to my heart but theres gotta be some variety sometimes yeah?
now i personally am not the biggest fan of simple slice-of-life or romance rps or that type of deal, so i'm thinking something that's a little more plot-heavy. i did have one idea, something i'm tentatively calling "timebomb".
timebomb is just that-- a ticking clock, counting down to oblivion. i'm thinking post-apocalyptic. there are several possible routes with post-apocalyptic though:
---zombies. everyone loves zombies. how would zombies be a problem in a world of superpowers, you ask? here's the thing: some of the zombies have superpowers, too. now this sort of thing could be fun to develop. there could be a sort of tiered level of zombies, too, ranging from your average everyday brain-gnashers to more sinister superpowered fiends.
---another, less horrifying (or perhaps more? depends how you look at it ; ) ) possibility is the societal breakdown trope. a crumbling civilization type deal-- crime runs rampant as government systems begin to collapse, etc.
zombies or not, im thinking the cause of either scenario would be some sort of global nuclear disaster. radiation spreads across the entire world, affecting every living human. however, instead of dying, some people begin to develop superpowers. alternately (since... not dying to radiation doesnt make as much sense as it could, and also how would it cover the whole planet) scientists develop a new power source, and after it has spread to all corners of the globe, something goes terribly wrong with it and you get something akin to a nuclear disaster.
now it splits off here depending on if you go the zombie/not zombie route. zombie route, the radiation eventually starts changing people (both people with powers and people without would be affected, to avoid the idea that different = bad). people begin to mutate into whatever sort of zombie the site decides to go with.
not-zombies, im thinking instead of mutating people, it starts killing people. 100% mortality rate. people panic. scientists race to find a cure for the radiation sickness as society crumbles beneath them, knowing their death is imminent in a matter of years.
...of course, it doesn't have to be post-apocalyptic. those are just my ideas. no matter what though, i'd like for the site to have some sort of overarching plot that members can participate in via site events, though the plot itself depends on which route the site goes in. of course, participating in the events would be optional, and if members wanted they could just rp on their own with the basic theme.
oh, forgot to mention, it'd most definitely be animanga.
thoughts? :')
