Rp Thread: Superhero/Villain
"Welcome to London folks," the scrawny driver with bitten nails spits out. People born with extraordinary abilities make up about five percent of the population, some people caught with such abilities are discreetly removed from society. But the lucky ones, like you have been invited to London, to go to one of the two corporations who will give you work. Of course you can deny both and simply work for anyone who will pay you, it's entirely up to you. Supers without bosses tend to work for the mob or do odd work that they find depending on their morals.
He lets the newcomers out and points at two roads, "to the left is the headquarters for Nomed Society, the more nefarious among you will want to go there." The busy city is full of homeless people and aristocratic shoppers looking for fine jewelry.
Nomed Society
'A new civilization for when the old one collapses.'
The reception of the building appears similar to that of a regular office. There are two security guards and an elevator, nothing particularly looks evil as one might expect of an evil lair such as this. This is the Supervillain Alistair Nomed's headquarters, a feared and villainous man. It was originally founded to be the base of all evil operations in order to take control of all of London. Some say he succeeded. Legally he is no criminal and his business is completely clean. But of course that may be due to fact he has ties in the police, the government and even an agreement with the mob.
Goodness Alliance has been trying to take Alastair down for years now, alas the Hero headquarters has gone downhill a bit since it was built.
He coughs groggily, "and to the right, is the Goodness Alliance headquarters. Any heros and I guess, morally righteous folks among you would like to go there. They need all the help they can get." He laughs and examines the people he brought all the way here.
Goodness Alliance
'Kindness and friendship make a family.'
Their headquarters is not a mighty skyscraper like Nomed's, but a small plot of land with a few rented buildings. When the alliance was first created by Elizabeth Fitzgerald she owned half the city and more than half of all the supers. Alistair slowly but surely gained influence and political power before he started buying out all her supers and coercing the majority of them to join him. Today the Goodness Alliance is bankrupt and partially funded by the government in an attempt to keep Alistair at bay.
Elizabeth used to be a billionaire in control of the London market, now she is desperately trying to rebuild the Goodness Alliance with no funds and very few supers willing to help. Unlike Nomed Society, the Alliance is more of a Democracy and is led by several members of the board of directors. Elizabeth is the current head until further notice. Rumours her brother or sister may take over are possibilities.
"What?" he notices the faces who have yet to decide a path. "Oh right, yeah. Well I suppose if you have no interest in the politics of the super world. You could always try a different route," he snarls. "Helping ordinary folk is respectable enough, doubt you will paid as frequently or as much. And if the good people don't pay enough, you should visit the local watering hole." He frowns, "that means the pub you planks! Go and speak to Vinny, or Micheal, one of them mob types will find those of you with talent work." He pauses, "hold up! Just, watch out, if you work for the mob the Nomeds will probably leave you be, but the Goodness Alliance may try to arrest you."
He gets a notification on his phone. "Blimey!" He exclaims. "Alistair Nomed has just been murdered!"
London is mostly controlled by villains and corrupt officials now, but with the leader of the villains having been murdered, the city will be thrown into even more chaos. Heroes now have the perfect opportunity to take back the city from Nomed Society, but with being so outnumbered and underfunded will they ever succeed? Alistair's only child is the presumed next leader, but how will they fare against the new set of Goodness Alliance heroes that just arrived?
"And you'll never guess this, they are saying The Mighty Raven killed him!"
Raven
"Me? Well, yes. I mean, no. Well, I err, it sort of. It's complicated."
Full Name: "Raven." Pause. "Yes, that's all I'm going to give you."
Alias: 'The Mighty Raven', 'Scarecrow'
Gender: Female
Pronouns: She/her
Age: 23
Sexuality: "I don't really like labels, but pansexual I guess."
Allegiance: Neutral
Reason: "I will work for whoever pays me the most, I don't really care if you work for Nomed Society or the Goodness Alliance, screw it I have worked for both. And the mob too, they usually have lots of work for me to do. Though I guess they work for Nomad Society technically. It just so happens that Nomed pays me so much, the Alliance is a little lacking in funds but if I'm short of work, sure I'll help out their little crews."
Abilities: "Well, they are sort of strange. I can summon ravens, and I am sort of a Raven spirit or something. So I might be able to transform into a Raven, kind of. Or similar, raven-like powers. Like a defending caw that smashes windows and makes people's ears bleed."
Weaknesses: "I have none." Pause. "Fine, most the time I can't use my abilities because they are too draining. This means I have to run away a lot from big fights. Erm, well my own reputation is a bit of a weakness. I'm sort of well know for being a mercenary. And now that Alistair is dead, I guess everyone knows who I am. Also, fire. I hate fire."
Traits: Disciplined, a quirky eloquence, intense, noncompetitive, amoral, blunt
Crush: "Hmm, don't see anyone yet."
"There are rumours that you have had a secret affair with Elizabeth Fitzgerald's, brother, or was it her sister you seduced?"
Raven goes bright red, "I know nothing about that, let's talk about something more fun."
Other: "My favorite animal is a Raven. Yes I have a theme. I wear a lot of black too."
"So, Raven, everyone wants to know, were you the one who killed Alistair Nomed?"
She smirks, "Me? Well, yes. I mean, no. Well, I err, it sort of. It's complicated." She moves a strand of black hair from her eye, "interview over," she then hops out of the window out of sight.
Josef Fitzgerald
"It's against everything I stand for, everything we stand for."
Full Name: Josef Oliver Fitzgerald
Alias: "I just go by Joe, even at work."
Gender: Male
Pronouns: He/him/his
Age: 28
Sexuality: "I'm straight."
Allegiance: Hero
Reason: "Well seeing as my sister owns Goodness Alliance that sort of tells you that I come from a family of hero's. I believe in helping the world not destroying it."
Abilities: "I'm a human lie detector. If I touch someone I can tell if they are lying. I'm really good at poker. I can catch anyone's tell. But gamblings not really my thing."
Weaknesses: "When someone lies and I touch them I go blind for a few seconds, and recently I've been having spouts of blindness even when I'm not using my abilities. And I'm not really a fighter, that's what the heroes I pay are for."
Traits: Sensitive, intuitive, charming, well intentioned, honest
Crush: "There might be someone, but it's too soon to say."
Other: "Is that everything?"
"Is the reason your sisters standing down as head of the board got anything to do with the recent murder of Alistair Nomed?"
"Look, I know there are rumours. But just because Raven has worked for the Goodness Alliance before, it does not mean we payed her to kill Alistair. Murder is wrong. It's against everything I stand for, everything we stand for." He refuses to speak any long and has the interviewer escorted off the property.
He shakes his head, "anyway, I must go now, I have more folks to deliver. Good luck you lot."

If you have any questions let me know and don't forget to have a quick look over the rules please!
- You can make up to four character if you like would to
- If you do have more than one character, make sure people can tell the difference between who is talking/doing an action
- Try to stay active, this is a moderate writing level so try to write a full paragraph or two each post. Decent spelling and punctuation will be expected, it doesn't need to be perfect.
- Don't make anyone too powerful
- Don't kill or seriously harm another character without the roleplayers permission
- You know the basic rules, thanks for reading this if you did by the way :)
Thank you so much for reading!
