    Default Being a Cape is harder than I thought [Worm RP]

    Description of the RP underneath. Maybe some spoilers, in case you've never read Worm. For those of you who are wondering what Worm is: Worm is a web-serial by Wildbow. It's main character is Taylor Herbert, a bullied teenager who develops superpowers that allows her to control bugs. It follows her on her journey as a cape. Can be read here, it's really long, but well worth the read, I think.

    Pretty simple concept, I think. Our characters are from Brockton Bay, or move there from it, and are at least somewhat familiar with each other. They're Capes, they wanna use their powers to either do good or be a villain. Small problem that didn't quite grasp: being a Cape is really fucking hard. They go out on their first night, fail in epic fashion, and they end up recognizing each other, somehow. Wellll, one thing leads to another and they end up agreeing to team with each other. RP would be their rise as heroes/villains in Brockton, an whether or not they die hard. RP would start somewhere before Taylor goes out as a Cape.

    So 'capes' is just a general term for people with powers?

    Also, is knowledge of the Worms universe required to join?

    yep!

    errrrr, it really depends on how involved with the canon universe we get? like, if we're just using the world as a backdrop with some of the major concepts still in place, but with little interaction with major characters and plot points? could make it work, if that makes any sense.

    Yep, it makes perfect sense to me! Were you hoping that eventually we'd get into meeting the main characters and following along the main storyline? The concept of the story sounds interesting, so I probably wouldn't mind reading it (I looked to see how long it was, and crap... you're right, it is pretty long lol)

    yep! was thinking we could transition when something too big to be ignored came around, one of those events that forces a truce between heroes and villains and whatnot? like an Endbringer or an S-rank threat? really vague, cause i don't wanna spoil stuff for you.

    it's well worth the read, would really recommend giving it the time! there's a wiki, if you want a link to that? y'know, for like basic information and all that? or i could just give you abridged versions of concepts? don't really know how well they'll be explained mind.

    nah, not yet! i originally planned for it just to be a private thread between however accepts the RP, which i figured would be ChatNoir. but since they haven't responded, i guess interest has died? i'd love to do it with you! or maybe a three person RP-thingy, if Chat is still interested?

    didn't know they had an audio book, cool!

    Interest has not died!

    3-Way, 3-Way, 3-Way!! *keeps chanting*

    Or you could throw it up as a group RP; up to you dude! But I'm definitely interested still!

    ahhhhh, okay then, my bad!

    group RPs are, er, too messy for me? just too many people doing things, and that supposing to line up within continuity of the story, i guess? if that makes sense. o,o;

    i'm perfectly fine with a three-way though, if Gemini is~
