Rules

how we came to be.
It was never this way in the beginning. when every day citizens began exhibiting powers that set them apart from everyone else, either due to circumstances or mere intelligence, sure people were afraid, but they were accepting. these people soon joined the police force, became a part of bigger projects to keep the world safe. but things began to change as more and more villains emerged from those people. once they began to abuse their powers, that's when views began to change.

ever since the world began to see those with powers as a nuisance, a trouble, they started to be shunned. first, it started with public outcry. then, the police began to call them vigilantes and put them behind bars for something like "the greater good."

Heroes and villains alike were slapped into prisons, into holding cells, and treated like animals. villains were never good at staying under the radar, and even the ones that did learned that it was better to just stay hidden. people who exhibited such powers soon took on every day jobs: sitting in the office for hours, teaching children, answering customer service calls. they lived life like normal human beings, even if the world around them was crumbling. if they stepped out of the shadows, they would be persecuted.

however, a band of brave men and women got together to begin their work alone and in secret. if the police wanted vigilantes, there was no way they would be seen as anything such. rumors began to go around of a group called the "new heroes" - though no one could ever find a real connection to confirm or deny these rumors.

NHA, also known as new hero academy, was established for "gifted" students to freely practice and grow with their powers. of course, it is hero based, as no one would want to encourage villain work. that's not to say some people don't slip through the cracks. at new hero academy, you are given a chance to either prove yourself as a hero or a sidekick based on your powers.

roleplay rules.
1. favorite the roleplay thread. if you would like to see more content, additions, etc. please upvote. however, upvotes are not necessary.

2. this is an alternate universe. crack is frowned upon in this rp. please do your best to get into character and stay that way. we encourage you to flesh out your character and focus on writing and plotting as much as possible.

3. though this roleplay is based off of a few movies you don't need to know the movies in order to be a part of this roleplay. it's set completely outside of the movie's settings: merely inspired by them.

4. villains are (unfortunately) not welcomed in the rp. since this is a hero and sidekick based roleplay, you can only be a hero or a sidekick. however, having a backstory as a newly changed villain to a hero is encouraged! that makes it more fun.

5. this isn't just a super city au. keep in mind your character is supposed to be in hiding, because if they are caught, they will be jailed by the public. please respect the rules and setting of the roleplay and don't have your character be completely reckless.

6. dating ban of 3 days and 250 points. moving couples are allowed, just let an admin know asap. pregnancy is allowed (no m or f preg, though). marriage ban is dating for at least 3 months. second characters require 250 points. third characters require an advertisement blog! fourth characters require 250 points on all 3 of your characters and evidence that you're rping and not just hogging a character. you may only have up to 2 face claims per group with over 7 members.

7. as stated on the side bar, 18+ muses only. all orientations are allowed, as well as internationals.

8. the password is your favorite superhero, sidekick, or villain character.

9. the usual rules: try to include everyone, no ooc drama, no excessive ic drama, don't use your character as an excuse to be a , no in rooms that are not rated (no ual content in the main chatroom at all), and remember to respect those around you. you get one warning and then you'll be kicked.

10 inactivity is set to 8 days. you get one warning, and if you don't clear the sign within 48 hours, you will be kicked. any other time you get inactive you will simply be removed. you are welcome back as long as you ask!

11. there are only two stipulations regarding powers: one you cannot have your character claim that their powers have not shown. having weak powers that are not at their full potential is different. two your character cannot exhibit godmodding powers, ie something that makes them omnipowerful or able to godmod another character ic.

this is vital to determine whether your character is a hero or a sidekick. please, do not go over the top. keep it simple: name one main power and 2 minor powers your character exhibits.

4. hero or sidekick?
make sure to read this. if you do not want to choose for yourself, let us know in your application. otherwise, let us know whether you want to be a hero or sidekick based off of your character's powers. if you are a villain, let us know in the application, and you will be given a role (either hero or villain) to hide under.

5. teacher, student, or other?*
if you are a teacher, you must teach a class that reflects the powers you possess. if you are a student, you don't have to name your classes or anything, but keep in mind your classes will reflect your powers.
