Vespia and her moon, Sasha.
A world that has seen a lot of strife and pain and happiness and love over it's lifetime.
The planet has been a witness to many, many things
49 years ago the world began to see something new.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to Deiville!
Deiville is my new RP, centred around the nation filled with superheroes and villains alike. The namesake country, Deiville, is an Island on the world of Vespia, kudos if you get the reference, that serves as a haven for the mysterious new race known as the Altered who appeared 43 years ago. You are all people born and raised in this city, for better or for worse, and you each make do with your lives here.
However, recently there have been reports of Altered men and women undergoing horrific mutations, either dying on the spot in a gruesome spectacle of gore or transforming into rampaging monstrosities hell bent on tearing the island city apart. This isn't just the talk of the town either. Eyes from across the world are watching the situation unfold. If no one gets to the bottom of these mysterious mutations then the nation of Deiville may find themselves dealing with more than just internal threats.
If you join this RP then you'll find yourself relying on your wit, ingenuity and of course your own peculiar powers, the birthright of the Altered, to maneuver through a web of lies and intrigue half a decade old.
Or you could try to pummel the answers out of every faction leader there is. Who knows? You'll have to try it to find out.
World information [Read most of it]
So, reading the world info should set you up with all the bits and bobs you need to make a decent character. Now for sign-ups!
Sign-up Sheet
Name: Bonus points if you make a subtle superhero reference
Age: Between the ages of 12 and 43
Gender: You can be whoever you wanna be, Billy.
Generation: You can be a second or third generation Altered. Don't sweat it too much, just know that older characters are going to be gen 2 whilst younger characters are gen 3.
Power: You get One power. I stress that, One. Think carefully before deciding this because this is your biggest distinguishing trait from anyone else and will remain that way throughout the whole RP. The major things that are unavailable are the very generic stuff and reality breaking powers. If you can easily think of one superhuman who has this power, change it.
Note: You can pick an exploitable power all you want, I encourage it, but a younger character won't have the experience to take advantage of this fully. It'd be better if you didn't use your powers full capability for a while, to show some nice character development and keep a few aces up your sleeve. You will need them because characters with the standard superpower gimmicks do exist in the form of the gen 1 Altered.
Sub-powers: General passive abilities you'd need to make your power work. Your character controls bugs? Well they'd need an internal radar that informs them where usable bugs are. Work with fire? (No, this is not a go-ahead to make a pyrokinetic) Well you'd probably need a resistance to heat. So on and so forth.
Character summary: Just summarise who your character is, where they came from, what their motivation is to investigate the mutations etc. Focus on the motivation. If you want to go for more detail, talk about their personal values a little. Are they a real By-the-book kinda guy? Or a bit of an unruly rebel girl? You tell me.
Appearance: Again, dead quick summary on what they look like. No need to be super detailed, not like their appearance is going to be a big focal point. Height, hair colour, eye colour, that stuff.
Extra: Thngs like your PCs current occupation, family or anything else you can think of.

Ok, I think that is all you need to get started. If there are any questions about any missing details you think you could use or you're just confused about, feel free to ask. I'll only be accepting 8 people at max so that I can keep track of everyone. I'm honestly sorry about that, considering the surprising amount of interest shown in this, but I don't want to bite off more than I can chew with this one.
Submissions close this friday and I'll announce who is in on the coming monday, all things going well.
