Ladies and gentry of P2TM, come journey with me, back in time, to a simpler era, the age of cowboys and Indians, of banditos and Texans, the age of robber barons and captains of industry, of superheroes and supervillians...
The age I speak of is, of course, the Reconstruction Era.
The year is 1871, the month is July. The Confederacy is dead, and Radical Reconstruction is currently burying the coffin in cement. With the notable exception of the Dakotas, the United States of America is starting to take shape, its only remaining missing piece being the Hawaiian Archipelago. To the North, Canada has claimed all the territory it ever will, stretching its land claims into the Arctic ice cap itself. To the south, the death of Maximillian has left Mexico's government unstable and its population sore over foreign meddling. The Central Americas are not much better, shattered remnants of the Federal Republic of Central America and suffering from political meddling from both Mexico and America. Further south still, to South America, Chile, Argentina, and Brazil stand as the sole bastions of true stability in an unstable continent, ruled by military strongmen, dictators, and governments perpetually on the verge of civil wars of their own.
In the New Mexico Territory, life goes on, quite unaffected by the political strife of Latin and South America, Mexico's instability notwithstanding. There are crimes committed by bandits, yes, and even the occasional upstart villain - usually former Confederate, though Indian and Mexican empowered villains are not uncommon, either - but for the most part, the territory is safe.
Things do not seem set to stay this way, however...
In recent months, raids by Meixcan empowered bandits have become more methodical, more strategic. Some have even gone so far as to harass United States Army forts in the area. This has led to quite an increase in wanted posters floating about the American Southwest, and such events have attracted bounty hunters of all sorts, empowered or otherwise.
Oh look, yet another Rup RP! Who does he think he is, running three RPs at once?
THIS RP takes place initially in the Southwest, but I intend for it to eventually cover most, if not all, of Hispanic and Portuguese America. It features superheroes in a time period that I'm pretty sure has not been explored very much in superhero RPs, at least for as long as I've been here: The late 19th Century, specifically the early 1870s.
Unlike most of my other RPs, I will make no guarantees as to whether this RP will have multiple arcs. I will only state that I will try to make this RP a long-lasting and fun one.
Oh, and if you suddenly drop off the face of the Earth with no warning I will break your face in. I expect posts.
DA RULEZ: waagh
1) The OP's word is law.
1.5) Occupied Deutschland is Co-OP. His word is also law, but less law than mine.
2) 4 sentences minimum per post.
3) Godmodding is doubleplusungood and gives you a quick drop and a sudden stop.
4) 3 strikes and you're out of the RP. Permanently.
5) If you're inactive for a week or more, you have to TG me before rejoining with the same character. Otherwise, you'll most likely need a new character.
6) Keep it PG-13, people.
7) Be realistic in what weapons you carry.
7.5) Also be realistic in your costume. In this time period, it will probably be more functional than flashy. Need more clarification? Spandex won't be invented for another 89 years. And leotards didn't become common until the 1920s.
8) Members of Elfen High, The Call, SW2012, and Saint Young[ish] Gods do not need to provide an RP sample.
⑨ Have fun, and stay frosty! But don't be a 9-ball and do stupid things. It-it's not like I want you to RP well! Baka...
