Sucky Banner Alert​

Background Story:

The start date is September 12th, 2001. Yes the day after the day known in OTL as the 911 terrorist attacks. In TTL however the attacks are carried out by a superhuman by the name of Osama Bin Laden or The Prophet as his followers call him. He has foresight, and using it has brought him many friends and enemies. Now he has seen a vision of world destruction. His thoughts are coming of Allah and the saving of those righteous. He ordered his followers to kill infidels so they and himself could prove to Allah their worthiness. The story goes beyond that. The Prophets ability is not always clear and he himself could not see what caused the destruction but it is certain to happen. His well known video tapes released on September 11th show his faith in his vision. This concerns the world. They know he is not lying, they know he is not positive as well. It is at this time the top four super humans in the world begin to act. The all American hero, the cybernetic man, Longhorn. The fastest man in the world, the hero from Kenya, Harambee. The two evil counterparts, mad genius Dr. Nyambar, from Mongolia and the Greek regenerator known only as Hoplite. All on a missions, together or against to find the meaning of this vision. Perhaps to save the world, or to be the cause of its destruction.

On superpowers in this world, the general population knows about them as they see the top four in the news a lot as well as small town heroes or villains doing things with powers. It is not known what causes these powers besides genetic defects.



Setting: The background story covers the beginning of the plot. It is your job to help piece it together or tear it apart. This NES is not a typical superhero NES. This is a universe and it is a living story. I expect you to play it as such and write stories, however short they may be. To add to this. The day and year is set for the start. The world has had all event leading up to this point and most can be explained by superhuman activity.

Missions: With updates I can hand out missions for that turn or until you complete them. These may connect to the story or not. They if completed will give you more hero points.

Updates: An update on the story, superhuman encounters, acts of terror. Things like that. They will take place covering undetermined amounts of time.

Orders: These will round up what you did in your stories. What to spend hero points on and other things like that.

World Map: The world map will be a small and basic world map showing the location of things in the update. Like battles, evil bases etc.

Stories: Stories are key. I will read them all as fast as I can to keep up. I might keep a story index if you request it.



Player Heroes

You can only be the superheroes or villains. You cannot control any nations.

NPC

All nations and a select couple superheroes or villains that I have plans for.

Hero Points: So you were wondering how you do things. Well I reward you Hero Points during an update. These can be spent on nearly anything you can think of to progress the overall story, your character, your plots. Examples:

1.) Info on Villain/Hero; you pay for it and the next turn I will anwser questions based on points spent.
2.) Evil plot stuff: Need a bomb? Need parts for your evil robot? Try buying it with Hero Points.

Anything you can think of can be spent on. Usually!


SUPERHERO LEVELS:


Every once in a while I’ll determine you deserve a “level up.” This is based upon things like successful villain plots, or defeating a villain. Something worthy. When you level up you’ll be able to upgrade your powers. These are the following levels. 1-5


1.) Powers Revealed to You
2.) Familiarized with your Powers
3.) Intermediate with your Powers
4.) Mastered your Powers
5.) Beyond Natural Limits

Once you get to level five you can destroy yourself with your own powers if you aren’t careful. Reaching level five will be really hard to do.




SUPERHERO/VILLAIN ABILITIES:

I decided to rework this and make it so you cannot have multiple fields of expertise. You will pick a power and that is the only one you can have. Unless you can find a way to mimic or create this powers on your own. Some powers I will limit the number of people that have them to protect the world or balance it out. All powers will be on a scale of 1-5.Each power has a dumbed down description. Updates will elaborate.

Spoiler Powers :
Telepathy: The power to read thoughts and at higher levels warp them.

Fire: Fire, heat, explosions.

Electricity: Lightning, E.M.P type blasts.

Ice: Freezing things to a very low temperature. In higher levels; blizzards and if insanely strong enough Ice Age.

Water: the control of water.

Animal Control: Animals are at your disposal. From ants to Elephants. They do your bidding.

Earth: Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, ripping holes in the ground.

Future Sight: To see into the future. Not always clearly.

Force Field: The ability to manipulate forms of energy around you into barriers or objects of destruction.

Invisibility: You cannot be seen. And eventually can make other things and people disappear.

Time Manipulation: Slowdown, Speedup, and possibly stop time. Higher levels may equal time travel.

Flight: You can fly.

Super Speed: You start slower but can reach supersonic speeds.

Super Strength: You can move nearly anything with your muscle power alone.

Regeneration: You regenerate after taking damage. Slower at first then nearly instantly.

Telekinesis: Move objects with your mind.

Technopathy: Machines and technology in general are easily fixed or controlled by you. Even to the point of making technology into yourself.

Power Manipulation: Mimic, negate, sense and even unlock powers or lockdown powers in other people. Mimicking may not last long as with the other abilities.

Reactive Evolution: Temporarily or permanently evolve with whatever you come in contact with. If shot, you evolve to be bullet proof if you live. And so on. These may not last forever or may fade in and out.

Illusion/Reality Warping: Trick the minds of others to believe in something that isn’t real.

Teleportation: Teleport yourself around the world instantly at higher levels. Smaller distances at lower ones.

Super Genius: You are so smart you can do whatever you want given time.

I felt adrenaline surge through me. I hear the screams of men. The sweet cries of women and children.I control the earth. It moves on my own will. It follows me. It obeys me. It is me.

A certain Wang Xiaopeng in fact did excel in mathematics and indeed all of his studies; he grew up to be a, well, engineer. A theoretical physicist at the Poincaré Institute of Technology, he was involved in very cloak-and-dagger stuff. That however all comes to a halt when an experiment goes horribly wrong. Nobody knows the nature of the experiment and the only survivor will not even discuss it with anybody else. From what is known though, it involved a rubber band, two very expensive particle accelerators, a cup of coffee, a drunken physicist team, and a lemon. He was however lucky to get out alive; the rest of the whole North Wing of the institute was pretty much fried. Xiaopeng disappeared...

This power means he can grow or shrink at will (body is 70% water), kill others (too much or little water in cells results in cells dieing), and cause rain or the lack thereof.

Pabuji is a twentysomething Indian male with internet access and a penchant for conspiracy theories. He heard about the supermen early, albeit from unreliable sources, and became obsessed with learning everything he could about them. So far his research is largely self-contradicting and of little value, but he still knows more than the average citizien. His ideology dominates facts - he is certain that the supermen must be subject to the laws of physics, must be normal, and their abilities must be replicable in laboratory conditions. Since no supermen are exactly willing to be tested, he wants to observe them in person.

Home Town: Theresa, NY
Current Location: Theresa, NY
Hero Points: 2
Superhero level: 1

Sister Beretta grew up as sweet, innocent Clare in an orphanage run by a small Catholic church just outside town, and quickly showed insight and interest in the scriptures. All was looking well, as she decided to become an apprentice in the church, dreaming of one day traveling to the Vatican and other holy sites in Yurop. However, fate did not smile on Sister Beretta for long. The small church fell victim to a deranged serial killer, who ran into the church for amnesty, but ended up shooting everyone instead. Sister Beretta miraculously survived the attack, but only by herself killing the murderer. Despairing at her sin and lack of place to call home, she was ready to end her life then and there. However, she heard a voice which told her of atonement through sacred missions. She was to become one of the mortal saviors of the world.

No longer a child, she took up the name of Sister Beretta - eagerly awaiting other mortal saviors to contact her.

Superhero level: 4

Helping him with projects and getting on the good side of the school by fixing printers and computers. As he matured so did his power and he volunteered to research with the US military to serve his country and find a use for his power. During this time he was incorporated into Desert Storm and was injured by a mortar round. His control over technology saved his life as he used the things around himself to rebuild his body. This new body gave him many abilities, super strength, flight, and super speed. He now serves his country in it's defense.

Home Town: Nairobi, Kenya
Current Location: Nairobi, Kenya
Hero Points: N/A
Superhero level: 4
Power: Superspeed (4)
Description: Born to an Olympic gold medalist family he spent his childhood running so one day he could do what his relatives have done. It was not long after his eighth birthday that he began to see his power come into play in his life. Slowly he ran faster and faster until it wasn't considered running anymore. Merely appearing farther away instantly. His powers banned him from Olympic sport. So he decided to use his power to help fellow Africans and the poverty stricken areas. Bringing lots of supplies in minutes which once took hours or days. He is a considered one of the greatest heroes in the world. And is a target for many people.

It was during the following years as a juvenile delinquent he found he had the ability to heal faster than anyone around him. He tested he ability over time and realized he could not be harmed. Bullets, knives, fire. None of it would harm him. This made him more confident in himself and he soon began to attack authority figures and blame them for all that was wrong with his life. At first assault and then murder. His crimes spread his ego, he claimed to be a hero for those rejected and just liek the ancient Greek hoplite he was a warrior of justice. His actions prove him very wrong. He is known to have fought against Longhorn when he traveled to the UK on a crime spree. Being beaten but not defeated.

He was kicked out and sent away, called a foolish dreamer. He returned to Mongolia and then China. Getting the funding he needed to start his research. It is rumored by most but known by few that he has many weapons and tools of mass or semi-mass destruction at his disposal and may be the cause for the future destruction of the planet. He has been selling weapons to nations to spite the USA and other nations he seems unfit for life. He is wanted around the world for illegal scientific practices. Such as kidnapping and operating on a living and never treated for pain humans and animals.

@ Erez So I guess he is a kid then? The description was supposed to be more about what he is and not so much why.

@ FC: Thanks for joining.
 
He is around 20-21. (Thought I wanted him to be old and well adapted to his powers and neutral obviously, but that will have to wait :) Hero points to the rescue)
 
Can I play a Mary Sue version of myself? :p In other words, is this expected to be particularly serious?
 
Can I play a Mary Sue version of myself? :p In other words, is this expected to be particularly serious?

Yes this is serious business. This is a serious attempt at getting a comic book style mega event out of this NES. I believe with a strong hand and liquor I can do this.
 
Added the map. Which will be a constantly updated reminder of where objects are and such. As I do plan to give you things to do. :p
