Superhero Role Play System

Super Hero Role Play is a system design to allow players to generate superhero/villains and play them in an environment that places precedent on story-based interaction rather than comparison of stats. The strength and weakness stats will provide a guideline for players to understand the character they are role playing with for better application in plots.



When stories are put together the Original Poster (OP) will set the stage for the thread. Each participant will determine who is allowed within the thread by placing a tag on the thread next to the title in parenthesis (e.g. "Open" "Closed" "Invite Only").

Any character may impact the environment around them with the following limitations: You may not directly control another player or NPC introduced by another player without the permission of the other player. You may not kill another player or NPC introduced by another player without permission. You may not introduce a situation and resolve it without giving other players a chance to interact with the situation at hand without permission.



All characters should think in the terms of their general experience. It is up to the player to establish the perimeters to which the story should unfold for the character and which circumstances should be presented to other players. Never should one player dictate what circumstances HAPPEN to another player without permission.

All character history will come from posts in the world section, quest section, and alert section. Anything from Out of Character section and the Discord will not be included for Experience or for character history. Each post you make as your character earns you experience points that you can use to purchase advancements for your character.






Each member of the site will begin with five character slots. After six months, members are able to make as many characters as they are able to handle.







Characters will change with use of experience gained (read more below), however will only be modified with staff approval.

For each power you give your character, a tangible weakness must be included. A weakness is described as anything tangible that can be exploited physically or mentally.

Browse any character in our approved section for examples on powers and weaknesses*.


*Some characters may have been advanced with XP to eliminate weaknesses or acquire more powers.

---

All powers must be described as to how they were gained in your characters history. Some powers deemed strong may be required to add another weakness. This will be up to staff to determine.

Your character(s) can have as many powers as you want, so long as you have the appropriate weaknesses to balance your character.

If you find you cannot think of weaknesses, staff advises that you lessen what powers you start with and use advancements to unlock more potential.



Whereas all powers require at least one weakness, spells are somewhat different.

Spells are, usually, 3 spells to 1 weakness in ratio when looking at powers to weaknesses.

However, there are some cases where mundane spells may be at 5 spells to 1 weakness ratio, and in other cases, a 1 spell to 1 weakness ratio.

It is up to staff to decide.

Five examples:

Lesser fireball - Would be something to light a small fire, or a candle.
Basic fireball - Large enough to clearly hurt someone or something.
Greater fireball - Large enough to harm a building or vehicle.
Conflagration - Starting a large, uncontrolled fire.
Incineration - Completely destroying something with the use of fire. (A bit self-explanatory.)

This is a basic five tier spell list showcasing five different spells of growing intensity.

Most spells would be classified as a spell by including post cool downs, or prep time to cast said spells.

Cooldowns should be included for between use of spells.

Some spells may only be used once per thread, and in that case, may be a spell that would require its own unique weakness.



An RP Mechanic is something your character can just do to add fluff to your character's personality, power, or etc. It would be something like walking barefoot and little flowers popping up where you stepped, or how rich your character is.           





Experience can be used to purchase improvements.

1. Purchasing Advancements




Characters that are staff approved must be involved in 1 entire thread before being trashed and replaced.


Characters that are a WIP and has not been touched by a staff member may be discarded to be replaced.


All items will need staff approval and in the case of powerful items or advancements, may require an additional weakness.
