Here's an RP I've been wanting to do for quite some time now.
Basically you get to create your own Superhero and join our little mercenary squad, taking jobs for adventures and fortunes!
In the beginning it will be pretty freeform, with us taking several jobs and missions but soon a story shall form and it has to deal with some pretty bad guys!
There will also be appearances of some famous heroes.

We will start off in New York City and will travel to many places on our missions.

RPG Name: Mercenary Heroes (suggestions for name?)
RPG Description: There are many cities in the world. And even more villians, specifically super-villians. Someone has to stop them right? Though we do not do it for free. We shall be mercenaries. A strong company of heroes, saving the world from destruction, with a price of course

RPG Era: Future as there will be some advanced weapons and technologies

RPG Plot: In the beginning we start off as a band of mercenary Heroes and will undertake missions and such. Sort of like the Avengers. Later on, there will be a plot about a powerful villian(s) who plots to destroy the world. We must unite with other heroes and take down this new threat.

RPG Leader(s): That would be me and maybe someone else if I see them fit for the role

I think it's a good idea, but some of us are stretched too thin as it is. Perhaps RPG creation should be suspended, again...

[Neutron4ever]

Probably...yes, you're right so i'll just halt this for now until the RP section frees up

[some_weirdGuy]

I was thinking someone quite similar to this myself actually.
Set in a comic-book style world, meaning some advance technologies and other stuff that doesn't make perfect sense is acceptable.

I wasn't thinking mercenaries though, more like everyone coming together like the xmen or some other example of a collection of super-humans, to fight the badguys and whatnot.
And even the appearances of some famous heroes, i was thinking about. Although they would probably have just made cameo type appearances and not really be part of the story or have a prelonged appearances. Might have been funny if someone made a copy-ish character to run into the one that whoever was coping and be like 'who is that freak?' or something


But yeah, maybe its not such a good idea to have too many rp'd running at once...

[{IRS}Athos]

superdickery.com Might want to use that for reference.

[Vortigern]

Captain Excelsior. You probably don't want to use this for reference, but it's funny nonetheless. Also, I agree that the RPG Frontier is rather full right now, but the decision is really FZM's. However, I am fairly sure he will agree.

[Vithar-133]

I'd consider joining this...Possibly, depending on what we could've done power-wise.



I'm almost half-tempted to post up an idea to see what kinda response I'd get for it.....

[Vortigern]

I admit I too am curious about the extent of the powers we would be allowed to have, because I know full well which power I would like my guy to have. I haven't thought of a good name yet, though.

However, we shall wait until such a time as we deem this within the capabilities of the RPG Frontier, which probably means when another RP goes under or a bunch of new people join, whichever comes first.

[Neutron4ever]

Well basically, your powers could be pretty much anything so you could get very creative.
You can't however have a power that makes you invincible or gives you a huge advantage against others.

You can pick about 2 main powers for your hero but it should be within the same element or something
The minor powers would be increased speed or strength or something and you can have 3 of them so that we're not too super powered.

For example:

Major Powers:
-Flight
-Control over Air currents

Minor Powers:
-Increased Speed
-Sharper Eyesight
-Minor Flexibility (You can stretch your body without hurting yourself to a short extent)

This would make a good hit and run hero that specializes in the air.
You can get pretty creative with these power combos

If this manages to get approved and takes off, i'll create a list and rank abilities as major or minor.
Other cool powers would be teleportation, shadow shifting, cameleon, Super stretchyness, control over fire, etc.

Or maybe I could make it so that we can just pick any reasonable power we want while keeping in mind not to get too OP. Maybe the list will limit things too much?
Any suggestions on how else we could do this?

I think it would be better to just limit it with common sense, not bother listing things. If you list things you'll just limit people's imaginations, which I see as a bad thing. If everyone were to suggest their power and then you as RP leader decide whether or not you deem them too powerful, that would probably be best.

[Neutron4ever]

Good idea, we go with that then as it seems more logical and simpler

[True Lord of Chaos]

I wanna try!

[some_weirdGuy]

Yeah, and i agree with the 'element' thing, people shouldn't have a bunch of unrelated powers. They should keep with a similar 'style'/be related in some way(and not an infinitely obscure way).
