Just one question here we can't have character based on things like DC comics like krypton or green lanterns right?

Instead of making my own character, I'll be responsible for the Story Arc and Wrap-up. At the end of each month I'll advance the overall story and influence the individual ones in different, not-too-invasive ways. All in the interest of creating a greater challenge for players as the game goes on.

We're at the point in our world where they're starting to show up. Do you see Cyberwoman as one of many or one of a proud few?

You just write a short story about your title each month set in the world described under Story Arcs. That part of the forum will become more developed over time as I write new 'lead-ins' each month with influence from players' RPs. As far as style and perspective it's totally free-form. It can be as long or as short as you want and is judged by content-specific criteria rather than on grammar elements. The closer the score comes to 25, the more likely it is for your title to influence the Story Arc that month. Inversely, the lower the score the more likely you are to have your title effected by the Story Arc in a major way as a challenge that you have to write around.

The way characters work is a little different too.

A 'title' is like your RPs as a collection. If you want to focus on more than one main character, add all those characters to the title. Characters who aren't a primary focus don't need to be declared. You can just write them in any time. Only add multiple titles if you want to submit multiple RPs.

GM_Douglas_Admin: For questions and comments create a thread on the New Members Board. To learn the basics check out Rules and Regulations. Sept 17, 2015 17:08:18 GMT -5

GM_Douglas_Admin: If anyone is having trouble coming up with character ideas take a look at the 'Active Characters' sub-board where you can view an example of characters that have already been approved. Also, Wikipedia hosts a convenient list of super powers. Sept 18, 2015 22:22:49 GMT -5

GM_Douglas_Admin: A gang of youthful mystery-solvers accompanied by a talking animal is another possibility. How about a prehistoric caveman who wakes up in the present or a child who goes with his scientist parent on ridiculous adventures? Sept 20, 2015 16:22:48 GMT -5
