What is POWERS?
It's a world roleplay. Basically a rp like we all know how to do, but on a super hero-sized scale.
Who gets to play?
Everybody! Submit a character sheet, and you're in, upon gm approval. It would be awesome if most everyone on the forum participated.
Why does it get its own section? Can my rp get its own section?
Every so often, RPA holds a forum wide world roleplay, and that is kept separate because of its huge scale. This roleplay is gm'ed by staff because of its big potential. Since there will probably be many threads that go along with this rp, it is easiest to keep this world in its own... well, its own world!
What's with these "staff reserved" characters?
There are some heroes and villains that any rp'er would agree are god characters. We will use them for the sake of the plot, but it's not exactly fair for anyone to play them.
You're crushing my hopes and dreams of playing Superman, though.
Ask me how much I care.
How much?
Not very much at all. Next question?
I don't know much about comic books. I guess I don't get to play. :(
Sure you do! The great thing about this rp is that you don't need a lot of knowledge about the original characters. You pick a hero or villain, and while you will use their prewritten abilities, YOU get to write their personality and backstory! The possibilities are endless.
I can't decide who to be. Can I play three characters?
How about we all start with just one. As the roleplay moves along, we might open it up to more than one character per user, but not right off the bat, for sure.
There must be rules...
You know it! All RPA rules apply. There may also be mature content in this rp!
You mentioned that this will have multiple IC threads, how exactly is that going to work?
There will be one master IC for each "issue" of POWERS which will be where the main storyline is conducted. Each faction will also have it's own IC thread . As well, anytime a fight breaks out between the characters, there will be individual Arena styled threads to conduct the battles.
How many issues of POWERS will there be?
Five
What if I have more questions?
