I allow as many players as possible. Registrations are open!

Now...

Does.. Does anyone remember The Superhuman RPG? Way back about 4 years ago?

I admit, I didn't think I would be opening this game again. But then I think of the fun I had hosting it when I was fourteen. I started this RPG back when I was thirteen, I believe, and it had been a blast to play with my players.

Now that I'm almost eighteen (at the time of this OP), maybe I want to give this another try.

If you are aware of what I do here in the forums (and I really mean, aware. So skip past if you don't know anything about me):

[My ideas are all fizzed out at the moment. I will continue to update, though it DEFINITELY will be infrequent. What I'm sure, though, is that The Superhuman requires more improvisation than my own story. So it takes less of an effort, not that it detracts from how much I want to host this game.]

"A human figure rose and fell, its chest swelling slightly. It looked up, not knowing what it would look at in this darkness. Then a voice spoke into its head, and the figure screamed out, its body writhing in pain.

The figure stepped out into the light. It breathed in..

And something small fell out of its womb.

And it breathed out. It smiled and more fell from its body.

And more.

And more."

"You kiddin' me?"

A thirteen-year-old boy jumped in shock, as he looked at the source of the voice that startled him.

A woman, sat opposite him, stared at him with a quizzical and mocking look.

"That's how the first superhuman came to be?" said the woman.

The boy nodded fervently. "Yes! You've gotta believe me!"

"This is ****ing ridiculous."

The woman stepped out as the boy continued to shout, pleading for her approval. She slammed the door behind and shook her head. She looked around, the city bustling about her.

Superhumans were everywhere. She saw a few men and women in a construction site, lifting fifteen-metre bars of metal in each hand, walking about. The woman could hear chattering and laughter among them.

Cars streaked by in front of her, but there were many, racing past the cars. A lot of them wore business suits, T-shirts, shorts, jeans. Normal people, she thought.

She heard a booming voice coming from her left. She turned and looked as the glass walls of the town hall burst into shards as the mayor stepped out to view, red fury in his face. She heard a sigh coming from behind the mayor as the glass shards floated back to where they originally were.

The woman heard another scream, something ten times softer than the booming voice, coming from in front of her as a man in black snatched a woman's purse away. The man looked back, summoned a flicker of flame and threw a ball of fire at the woman. She ducked out of the way and sent her hand out. The man grunted as his grip on the purse loosened. He put his hands to the sides of his head and screamed in agonizing pain. The woman picked her purse up and fired a shimmering wave of force at the man, knocking him towards the road.

Where did they come from? she thought.

I hope the story above can explain the setting and tone of this whole RPG.

You left and came across a ground floor balcony. You didn't know where the hospital was, even after stepping out. It seemed like the morgue either had an exit opposite of the hospital or that it was separated.

There was a single tree a few fifty yards from you. And you saw a figure under it.

If I saw another path when I left to the balcony, I go that way. If not, I see if I can climb the balcony. If not, I head back to the room.

I sneak up on the scorpion and try to jam the pipe in one of its soft spots on its back and aim for its vital organs in its back

I'd said, that due to your background, you weren't knowledgeable enough about scorpions to know their vital organs. You were an industrial researcher, not a zoologist.

But with every living thing, you knew that every creature had vital organs, and that some had grown some kind of protection to shield them.

You snuck up behind the scorpion and jammed the pipe into what you thought was a soft spot. You felt a bit pierce into it. Before you could jam the whole thing halfway in, the scorpion turned around, bringing the pipe along, trapped inside the wound. Now it was facing you with a pipe sticking out of its rear.

"Duly noted." I grumble. "Anything else you need to happen?"

Oh yes. I forgot to add the spoon.

"Anything else you need to happen?" you asked.

Scarlet just turned her face to you and snickered. "Just do a better job. That's all I ask."

Before she exited, she told two other henchmen to clean up the dead woman and three others to untie them.

When one of the henchmen pulled the sackcloth out of one of the men, you noticed the same man who had fire lasers shooting out of his eyes. You saw his face, menacing and intimidating before, now wet with tears. He was mumbling to himself, but you could hear some of what he said.

"Not.. Same.."

I decide to back away for now. "Very well. I am out of your way. But we will meet again. You have my word."

I realize that if he is...like me, lack of a better term, then he is not likely to have left my house a mess. I need to move onto the next 2 people in my suspects' list, but without forgetting this one altogether. It has gotten a lot more interesting now after all...

"Yeah, don't wanna ever see you again."

He got into his car and left.

The other two: a hobo and an ugly middle-class housewife.

Aha! Soon, I hope.

If I saw another path when I left to the balcony, I go that way. If not, I see if I can climb the balcony. If not, I head back to the room.

Right now, the balcony was at the ground floor and you were directly on it. It led out to a pathway down a hill. Along the pathway, the tree was there with the figure underneath it. Whoops, didn't make it clear. Sorry, mate.

"Bloody fantastic" I thought to myself.

I grab my shovel and this time I aim for his neck in order to try to decapitate him.

You grabbed your shovel and aimed for his neck, only to see Todd turn his head towards you and moved out of the way. You struck dirt and to the side, Todd lashed out with vines like he was handling a whip.

I decide to track down and go after the hobo. Even if he didn't do it, he may know who did it(while the middle class housewife is my third main suspect, I am not entirely sure it can only be one of those 3). So I begin to search for him around on the neighborhood

"What was that?" I asked him, as I played with my new spoon.

"My Scarlet.." the man said. "She's not the same anymore."

The man was escorted out with the other gang members. Vernaculis wasn't here.

You could tell that the gang members had the same opinion.

As everyone left, Scarlet suddenly came from the entrance. "You, follow me."

It was pretty easy to find him. You always remembered him sitting at the same spot in the same neighbourhood this past few months.

The hobo was a middle-aged man, a faded blue beanie on his head, dirtied grey T-shirt and faded black pants. He was sitting with earphones and a phone.

Somewhat peculiar, you thought.

The vines wrapped themselves around your arms and neck, choking you out of your life as you fell to the ground face first.

Todd finally spoke, but in a voice of impossibility. Yet, you understood it.

"You are wanted."

You felt asphyxia taking over your body.

maybe i'll reword it

If when i went out from the room there was another way instead of to the balcony, i go there. If not, i jump over the balcony to outside. If i can't jump out, well i'll return to the room.

YOU FORGOT TO DECREASE MY HEALTH BAR.

Lol, I'm used to decreasing numbers, but not this. Soz, m8.

I attempt to break free from the vines on my neck with my arms, trying to stick my fingers and thumbs inside the ring so I can attempt to pull it away from me so I can atleast breathe a little bit.

If none of the works, before I pass out I attempt to block one of his arteries via gravity to hopefully give him a heart attack.

If that doesn't work aswell, I say:

"I'll get you Nuckelavee!"

Before passing out.

You pulled the vines, but they could only budge so much. You did get room to breathe.

You saw Todd brandishing a green blade.

"Now," Scarlet said. "Your name, I forgot. I need you to get to your boss and get him back here. He's still in debt to us."

You walked to the same interrogation room before she left you there. A few seconds later, you were lifted up and through the floor back to the alleyway you were in before.

Vernaculis was leaning on his bat before he turned to you and smiled. He looked somewhat decent with it.

"Ready to go?"

Oh, alright. You can just step out from the balcony to the ground. They're at the same height.

As you walked, you noticed the small figure under the tree was Gerald, huddled alone with his legs. He was shivering, and he didn't seem to notice you.

I try to sneak up on him so that he doesn't notice me. Maybe from behind if that's an option. While approaching him, I put one of my kitchen knives in a more easily acessible position, so that while still concealed, I can draw it immediately in case something goes wrong

I can't do anything about that, maybe would make it worse even. I observe the area without moving first. There must be more people here.

HEY YOU, ZERNUS!
SOMETHING IS TERRIBLY WRONG WITH WHAT YOU DID.
IN ALL RPS YOU'RE NOT GOD, YOU CAN'T DO THAT.
ALSO YOU'RE THE PLAYER NOT THE GM

Um.. What?

[I guess if you want to orchestrate your own situation, you're pretty much a GMPC (Game Master Player Character).

I don't know what to do here, actually. What am I supposed to do here?


Um... oh. wasn't quite sure what was wrong but when looking back at everyone else's {not sure what the correct word would be}, I noticed that it was always only an action and an effect (by the player and GM/OP respectively), not a story being told by the player... oops :P I totally did that wrong XD I'll just redo the entire thing :P]

I might not allow that. We'll see.

[maybe taking only small items for now? (obviously clothing, though I'm not how that might effect the connection)]

[also, maybe it would've been better to go with "wall-walking" or &quothasing", but I think "tree-walking" is good enough (since it's not overpowered & has pretty much been established, though I do think it would be mostly useless anywhere other than a forest :P (I had/have a plan to eventually have him be able to posses other forest-related beings, but I guess that's way down the line :P)]

[BTW, how did Axorex get something like "reverse-damage", isn't his power ice magic?]

Age: 17

Bio: He formerly lived in the forest-lands of WA, USA with his family, suffering humiliation throughout elementary school due to his extreme lack of height. At age 11, when exploring the forest with a group of friends, he tripped over a rock and fell face-first "into" a tree. His friends went to get help because he was stuck half-in the tree, and brought back his parents, who helped him figure out how to "slip" back out. After that incident he experimented with his powers & started to notice low-level, temporary physical & mental enhancement such as a small-level growth spurt, a slightly higher metabolism, & a more accurate & speedy comprehension/processing.

"ZERNUS!"

You awoke from your bed to a familiar voice. You could already tell that it was your mom.

School, you thought. At least it's Friday.

[maybe I should use a different pronoun?]

You take the bus to school, somehow managing to get to class slightly late. [pretty much the opposite of the mistake I made last time :P]

Mental attacks can cause his adversaries to completely collapse by crippling them, or decaying their minds. His corrupting influence extends to himself every time he uses his power.
Appearance: Tall and very slim man, usually seen wearing a suit. Short black hair and brown eyes. Clean shaved with a discreet tattoo of a dark symbol on the top of his left hand. A larger one on his back.

I try to sneak up on him so that he doesn't notice me. Maybe from behind if that's an option. While approaching him, I put one of my kitchen knives in a more easily acessible position, so that while still concealed, I can draw it immediately in case something goes wrong

He seemed to be asleep when you came. You could hear him snore, and it was loud.

"Yeah I'm ready." I say as I think about what happened in the last few minutes. "Hopefully you know where to go because I definitely don't."

"Hey," Vernaculis said. "It's where you work, right? You remember where, right?"

He sighed and said, "Okay, I know where it is too. Let's go."

The two of you set out to your restaurant. As you neared the place, you saw customers in the restaurant through the glass window. You could also see your boss at the counter, but he didn't seem to notice you.

(What was your boss's name again?)

"Alright," Vernaculis said. "How'd we wanna get him?"

I can't do anything about that, maybe would make it worse even. I observe the area without moving first. There must be more people here.

You waited for a few moments, and saw an occasional one or two people walking at the far end of the pathway. Other than that, no one seemed to cross by you.

Suddenly, you noticed Gerald sobbing, and sparking with energy. Although, his face was buried in his legs.

Name: Zernus
Sex: Male
Age: 17
Superpower: "Tree-Walking" (More Specifically "Forest-Possession&quot
---
Bio: He formerly lived in the forest-lands of WA, USA with his family, suffering humiliation throughout elementary school due to his extreme lack of height. At age 11, when exploring the forest with a group of friends, he tripped over a rock and fell face-first "into" a tree. His friends went to get help because he was stuck half-in the tree, and brought back his parents, who helped him figure out how to "slip" back out. After that incident he experimented with his powers & started to notice low-level, temporary physical & mental enhancement such as a small-level growth spurt, a slightly higher metabolism, & a more accurate & speedy comprehension/processing.

[also, maybe it would've been better to go with "wall-walking" or &quothasing", but I think "tree-walking" is good enough (since it's not overpowered & has pretty much been established, though I do think it would be mostly useless anywhere other than a forest :P (I had/have a plan to eventually have him be able to posses other forest-related beings, but I guess that's way down the line :P)]

Alright, we'll see then.

[BTW, how did Axorex get something like "reverse-damage", isn't his power ice magic?]

You may never know. The only thing that matters is that I know.

[maybe I should use a different pronoun?]

Yeah, you probably should. This is your character after all.

You take the bus to school, somehow managing to get to class slightly late.

Right before you got into class just around the corner, the bully bumped into you. Of course. Right before class.

You knew him as Henry. The only other thing you knew about him was that he was the bully.

"My homework," Henry said, his ugly face closing in on you. "Done?"

You never remembered him talking to you ever.

HEY ZERNUS.

Axorez got "reverse damaged" because gerald destroyed him so bad the doctors thought he was dead, they put him in a morgue and he just healed over time while dreaming he was fighting gerald in seemingly impossible circumstances.

Refer to my reply.

"S*it, it can't be that sharp though." I thought to myself.

I quickly get up and still pulling away from the vines, and grab my shovel with my right arm and I increase the gravity, trying to keep the evil Nuckelavee at bay for now so I can see if I get an opportunity to attack.

You successfully pulled the vines away, and Todd seemed surprised. You grabbed your shovel and increased the gravitational pull on..

On what?

But Todd was now backing off, and you could see him growing vines out of his left arm.

I'd said, that due to your background, you weren't knowledgeable enough about scorpions to know their vital organs. You were an industrial researcher, not a zoologist.

But with every living thing, you knew that every creature had vital organs, and that some had grown some kind of protection to shield them.

You snuck up behind the scorpion and jammed the pipe into what you thought was a soft spot. You felt a bit pierce into it. Before you could jam the whole thing halfway in, the scorpion turned around, bringing the pipe along, trapped inside the wound. Now it was facing you with a pipe sticking out of its rear.

I use the metal plate to fend off any attacks the scorpion throws at me while hoping the scorpion will bleed out. I will also keep an eye out for anything else I can use as a weapon

I head onto the pathway, quietly as so Gerald doesn't notice. Seeing someone you killed living would be... odd.

You may never know. The only thing that matters is that I know.
