Introduction: Hello, everyone! It's been a while since I've hosted an rp, but, boy, am I excited to be back in the saddle! This is different than my usual fare but I'm excited to try it. It's a superhero rp with a steady but loose plot. By which I mean that while several overarching arcs will exist, most of the story will be carried by our characters. Whether you play a hero, a villain, or both, this will be fun. I look forward to roleplaying with you guys Below is a short introduction to the world. Enjoy~

My Character Form:
Name: Maya Taylor
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Description: Abnormally tall for an eighteen year-old girl, Maya stands at 6'2" tall. While she isn't built like a body builder, her body is packed with muscle. Her limbs are long yet slender. Her skin tone is a natural bronzed tone and her bright purple eyes have slitted pupils.
Her top canine teeth have formed into long, slender fangs. The skin on her hands, feet, and scalp-line is dry and hard, like scales. This trait fades out once past the tips of her extremities.
Her gums are so pale, they look bleached and her cheeks are a bit pudgy.
Power(s): Super strength and a venomous bite.
Backlash: Maya's backlash is mental; the genetic that gave her powers has also impeded her mental growth. While she can understand adult concepts, to a degree, Maya views the world through the lens of a child and will always, on a mental level be somewhere within the range of a ten-year-old girl. As a result she is easily tricked and swayed but it also means she lacks restraint with her emotions and her super strength.
Role- Hero/Villain: Hero
Hero/Villain Alias: Cottonmouth
Hero/Villain Outfit: She wear a full body suit that is almost skintight. It covers her feat and forms a hood over her head. The suit itself is a rich, dark purple while the hood and the bottoms of the built in boots are black. The area over her hands and forearms are colored bright gold in the shape of gloves. The purple is her suit is flecked with gold. The part of the hood that covers her eyes only shows her slitted pupils while still letting her see out just fine.
*Backstory: Maya grew up with her adopted father and three adopted sisters: Corrina, Cassie, and Jezebel. Cassie lacks powers and none of them have seen Jezebel in years. Corrina does hero work with Maya; however, her talents are easier spent online tracking criminal activities than stopping them in real life. This was how Corrina looked for people to rally.
When Maya learned that Corrina was rallying people to be heroes, she immediately volunteered. Corrina and Cassie were very much against it before Maya pointed out that she didn't need their approval. She was eighteen and had powers; they could help and prepare her or she'd go out on her own. The thought of Maya recieving no help in such a dangerous task got her sisters to agree. They weren't happy but they would rather she'd do it with their protection than by sneaking off.
*Personality: Maya is a very happy go lucky girl. She loves life and wants to spread that joy to others. That's why she wanted to become a hero, so she could help people get back to the happier parts of life. She also sees fighting crime as fun since her immense strength lets her toss most criminals around like toothpicks.
Other: I may frequently play as Corrina but she isn't so much a character as she is an NPC for me.
Time: 3:34pm
Location: Detroit, Michigan
Weather: Sunny with scattered clouds. The high for the day is 32°F (0°C) and the low is 29°F (roughly -1.6°C). It will steadily get warmer throughout the week with the first week of April reaching a high of 48°F (roughly 9°C).

Hello. You don't know me but I know you. This will sound really bad but, I've been watching you. I'm sure you've noticed the state of the world. People with powers began being born roughly three-hundred years ago and the world still doesn't know how to treat us.
I won't say I don't understand the apprehension of the common public. So many of the original empowered did absolutely heinous things. But you should know that already; it's covered in every history class across the country. That's why I've contacted you with this letter.
The police haven't been able to stop the empowered who use their gifts for downright evil acts. How can they when they can't use powers themselves? That's why we need to do something! I know society makes you feel like being born with these gifts are wrong but I assure you, it is a gift. Not a curse.
I have a plan. Now it won't be for money or fame and it'll be more dangerous than anything I can say! The goal will be simple: bring safety back to the nation and give the empowered a good name! Now, I haven't included my own information here as you can never be certain of anyone and I encourage you to exercise the same caution if you join me on my plan. You'll be in enough danger without throwing your true identity around.
My plan is simple; we do like in the old comic books and movies. We disguise ourselves in suits that amplify our abilities and help police catch the fiends responsible for the stigma against us! We have the abilities and we have the strength; I have reason to believe others were at this before I started scouting for others like myself. But don't rush into this; our enemies will be much more organized and prepared. Our lives will be on the line. What's more, the government may never approve; as vigilantes they will want our movements killed at the roots.
Yet, if we succeed, we could make a better world for all generations of empowered to come. So, there's my speech. Now the ball is in your court; no one will hold it against you if you wish to remain safe and hidden. For those willing to take up the mantle, I look forward to seeing you in the field.

- Follow all Pokecharms rules. This should go without saying but I'll state it for good measure anyway.
- This will be a semi-literate roleplay. I consider this to mean good grammar and at least five sentences per post.
- You can have as many characters as you'd like as long as you can keep up with them all.
- A character can have up to two powers. As amazing as Superman and the Powerpuff Girls are with their seemingly endless repertoire of powers, it would be a bit overpowered for a roleplay
- Another limit I'm putting on the characters to make sure no one is just crazily overpowered is that each power much have a negative effect on the person's body or mind. How they are affected is up to you but try to make it so the power and backlash balance each other out.
- All that being said, have fun creating these characters. Make it an exercise in creativity. This is a world where anything is possible as a power; go nuts!
- Your characters may be a hero or villain. As I said before, you can have endless characters if you can handle it but please do make them all of a single side. This is more of a request than a rule, but try to balance your heroes and villains, please.
- I am open to accepting plot ideas from anyone, whether they be plots that effect the entire rp or just creating a new crime boss type character to be making things happen in the background.
- If you're character is a hero, they must be at least sixteen years old. However, villains can be of any age.
- Romance is allowed but keep it safe for work.
- Similarly, this will be a mature roleplay. There will be violence, potentially darks scenes, and even a risk for character death. However, we can't go overboard here, either; nothing excessively bloody or gory.
