...I'm asking each of you to be pioneers towards that New Frontier. My call is to the young in heart, regardless of age. Can we carry through in an age where we will witness not only new breakthroughs in weapons of destruction, but also a race for mastery of the sky and the rain, the ocean and the tides, the far side of space, and the inside of men's minds? All mankind waits upon out decision. A whole world waits to see what we shall do. And we cannot fail that trust, and we cannot fail to try."
- John F. Kennedy
Imagine a world where superheroes are common, mundane in fact. Imagine that they are everywhere, with wondrous and vast abilities, working to keep the people of the world safe. Imagine these heroes are just like you. Your siblings. Your cousins. Your uncles and friends. Your neighbors and co-workers. Your sons an nieces. Imagine they got their powes from an international organization and became government employees. Imagine they are the law. Before them you have no rights. No entitlement. You have traded them your freedom for the ultimate security. If you could imagine this than you have an idea of what the new frontier is like.
This is a character RP that is very story heavy. It is somewhat of a love letter to the superhero genre we all know and love. Looking at many aspects of the genre and analyzing what a superhero really is, the RP also has an engaging and unique overarching story. Hopefully players will enjoy it.
Rules:
1. OP is law
2. This RP has a power limit. If your character can solo the Balrog from Lord of the Rings without trouble than you are too powerful for the RP.
3. If you are a Unity superhero, try not to do obviously illegal things like kill civilians are disobey direct orders
4. There are no villains at the start of the RP. You can become one though.
