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.

Biography: Once an unremarkable software engineer, Scott developed extreme schizophrenia, or so he thought. What at first made him dangerous to others, became his solace as the rest of the world abandoned him. Listening to the voices and searching in the darkest corners of his mind. Now, he is back, having adopted an extremely nihilistic view for everything and calling himself "The Dark Prince" when out of control. He has the power to terrify people with his thoughts by tapping into their minds or create insecurities for them. 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.

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

I try to search his stuff and the area around him without waking him up, to find anything that could tell me whether it was him or not. Spray paint cans or anything in a backpack or somewhere around him.

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

You managed to block off its stinger with the metal plates. Slowly but surely, you noticed its stinger strikes were getting weaker, but it wasn't going down any time soon.

You noticed men and women stepping out of their houses to witness, some of them shooing their children back in.

I understand almighty overlord, I shall not stump you.
You are great in so many ways, you let Bob smith live out the rest of his cancer filled life, you freed my old friend Mannanan from jail, and you also beat up that horrible filth spreading Ogre, if had you not freed my Mannanan, the old floating rock dude would be tortured badly in ways that he could never recover physically and mentally, and had you not put an end to that ogre, he would have produced enough filth to drown all the rockers who helped Mannanan on his quest to defeat the extremely vile and evil rocker zombie, and I also must thank you for that time where I was in Corinth atop the main tower, a man with skulls and satanic symbols was sitting on a bloody throne while a beautiful princess in a white dress was in suspended animation in the middle of the room, you were the one who helped me realize that the man was the highest of the high priests and he was keeping a demon who could manipulate everyone into tearing down multiple cities and essentially worship her, and YOU were the one to give me the strength to defeat that horrible demon, although I did have to summon the demon multiple times so she could heal me so I could keep fighting, you were the one who saved me after all, I cannot find ways I can thank you enough for everything you've done, you're the one who saved me from the horrible giant rat that nearly roasted me alive in that manky cave, you're also the one who helped me get my five dollars for beating up an old man after I was asked to beat up an old man by an old man, though he did call me a spawn after I disrespected me and fortunately he gave me my blood money.
I absolutely adore all you've done, I cannot find ways to show my respect for you,and I hope you forgive me on that mistake, a terrible terrible mistake, one of my worst mistakes by far, never have I been so rude and disrespectful in all my life when talking to an authority figure, and I hope you are kind enough to forgive me because of this grave error of mine.
In all Regards, I love you.
Although what I meant was "I increase the gravity around Todd".

Oh my god.

I try to strike Todd with the superior range of my shovel in the torso before he can fully complete what he is about to do.

With the increased gravitational pull around Todd, you could barely hit him with your shovel. You shoved him back a few feet, making him drop his green blade. You heard banging from behind. It came from your house.

Todd decided to run, but the increased gravity was slowing him down.

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

"AAAHHH!!!"

Gerald suddenly struck the tree behind him and lightning came from the skies, crashing into the tree. Slowly, you noticed water forming around his head.

"COULDA JUST LISTENED TO ME."

He got up and flew. You felt the breeze coming from him as he wandered away.

You thought he might have control over the many elements of the world.

Now, you felt tired and hungry. You saw a district of shops just outside the exit of the whole yard.

You didn't have to worry about the hobo waking up. You were pretty sure he wouldn't even wake up from an earthquake. You searched through, and found a few spray cans. Though, they were a different colour from the graffiti in your home. The spray cans had only black, while the graffiti had a bit of red, black and brown.

(You'll see if you ever touch it.)

I simply asked because of the confusion it creates in regard to recent events involving green goblins. You are right though, I will follow the English wisdom and 'wait and see'.

"They were my friends too, you know. I am sorry for your loss, but it was an accident. I barely survived it myself."
You have never seen a face so angry in your life.
"YOU DARE SAY THAT? YOU MURDERER!"
He turned towards you and swung another green wave of liquid from his arm.

I duck to avoid the green liquid, then strike out from below to hit him with an uppercut, hardened ash around my fist.

"Look at that. We have a present day rebel." I sarcastically think to myself as I look the hobo and his pathetic condition.
I try to think where the hobo usually hangs out in the neighborhood. Maybe he stashed the other cans in his usual dwellings around...or he just threw them in a garbage can close by.

Welcome back.

I duck to avoid the green liquid, then strike out from below to hit him with an uppercut, hardened ash around my fist.

You moved to the side with ease, the green liquid flying across the room, splashing across some instruments. Funnily enough, you didn't notice any sizzling coming from them.

You went down and struck him from below, hitting his abdomen. He staggered a few steps back before looking back at you.

"I'll come to get you again. I swear to you."

As he said that, your vision started to blur until you couldn't see the man. When you came to, your vision cleared and you found yourself on the ground. Your co-workers stood above you, watching while someone was shaking you awake.

"Hephaestus!" one of your co-workers said, the one who shook you. "You alright?"

You didn't see any traces of the man, not even the green liquid that he dripped and threw.

Exactly what I thought.

I quickly grab his blade and throw it at him, I stop the gravity before it get's in it's range, after it misses or strikes him I chase after him and and decrease the gravity as soon as I'm the range of it and try to choke him from behind.

You threw and the blade hit him square in the head. It made an extra few inches to his head wound. Todd fell and stayed put.

(3 XP)

You tried to choke him out, but the ants that continued climbing out of his wounds would get all over you.

Your phone started to ring.

I casually walk into the cafe and approach Chad. "Hey Chad. Can I talk with you outside?"

If I see any spoons on the way in the cafe or on the way out, I will of course flip out and go to any length to grab it.

I thought what I said made perfect sense to an almighty overlord, so my lord, before anything bad happens me for being disrespectful and mysterious towards you, I must realize that you already know all my secrets I have nothing to hide, though if I made a puzzle so hard that even I forgot how to finish it, it's only my duty to help aid you in your search for the absolute truth, oh lord, in order to uncover the mysteries of this dark and creepy line intended only for the wicked and sick madmen of this terrible world, Mannanan could help you better, but as I cannot reach him for reasons you already know, you will have to take my help instead, so forgive me and please do not be upset at my incompetence, as I am a mere mortal and do not have wisdom as great as you do, my lord, always be assured that I will always bow down to your knowledge and wisdom my lord, now let me tell you the secret, first we'll have to enter this forgotten dungeon, there are others here but they are slowly dying, and something might attack us if we are not careful, but fear not, as I possess enough power to destroy these mundane creatures, and you possess enough power to destroy at the very least a few score of me, so as we're exploring this darned cave, there will be a large tunnel we'll reach, and there will be various doors, we must take the door number 7, as that is the only one that will lead us to the secret we're seeking, the door number 7 is filled with traps and thus very dangerous, and the creatures are more vicious than ever, the more dangerous of them all is of course the insane rat, please remind me to not let my guard down, those creatures, albeit small and fragile, can leap at your neck from a huge distance, and those vicious creatures have enough power to decapitate me with a single swipe, once we get past that, there will be another hall, and we must pick door number 5, behind that door is a quiet tunnel, seemingly endless, but we must always be careful, as a deadly soldier awaits us, a giant soldier made out of pure bronze, capable of manipulating nearby metals and destroying the likes of me extremely quickly, of course the creature is obviously no match for you, and you should be able to defeat it easily, but I cannot, so if you are determined to get the now buried secret from the treacherous dungeon, you must defeat it for me, after the creature is defeated, only then we shall find a pedestal, atop of it is a small note, only there lies the secret which I buried here a long time ago, of course we must always be vigilant, as there is a trap behind the pedestal, a huge axe could attempt to chop us down at any point while we're reading the note, of course this is no danger to you, as it would be unable to even scratch the perfect body of yours, once we're done with that, we must find our way back to the surface by going back the same way we came, only then will we be able to celebrate our discovery of the mystery behind the note, are you ready to go my lord?

Oh my God.

You did see Gerald leave his wallet. There was about twenty dollars in it.

You saw that the district was a food district. (So, pick your foods, and I'll pick the price.)

(Can you list the foods under $20 instead?)

He has the power to terrify people with his thoughts by tapping into their minds or create insecurities for them.

You knew that the hobo only stayed here, occasional going around to find money or food, or anything worth taking with him.
"Awh.."
The hobo was shaking his head.

"Probably drunk again, I think to myself". I grab the spray cans and leave him. If the other cans are not here, then he either used them all already or he did not do it (at least, not alone). Besides I can always come back for him if need be. I now focus my suspicion on the housewife who was always looking me furiously every time she saw me...

I shout at the people to lend me aid, I ask them to find me something to kill the scorpion while I still hold the creatures at bay. "I don't know how long I can hold off this beast but I need some help finding a weapon or go and get the sheriff of the town." metagut shouts

You heard something pumped as you glanced back. A man had a shotgun with him.

The scorpion could almost get you even with its blood loss until you heard an explosion come from behind the scorpion. The shotgun had smoke coming out of its barrel.

"You," the man said. "You a monster. Get out. You scare the children."

He didn't aim his shotgun, but his finger was still on the trigger.

"I... I think I'm alright", I say as I try to get up. "What happened? How long was I out?"

"You were just flailing your arms," one of them said, one you knew by the name of Josef. "You had ash all around yourself, and you just blew ash out of your mouth."

"Yeah," another one said, his name you knew as Polish. "No one was there. You're hallucinating, aren't you?"

The ash cloud had died down, leaving behind a circle of black.

Josef said, "After that, you kinda fell onto the ground. And you knocked on your head."

"Hephaestus," Polish said. "You should probably go back home. I'll just say to our boss that you were having headaches. You fine with that?"

"Alright then."

I casually walk into the cafe and approach Chad. "Hey Chad. Can I talk with you outside?"

If I see any spoons on the way in the cafe or on the way out, I will of course flip out and go to any length to grab it.

Well, as obvious as it was, you obviously saw a lot of spoons on the tables. You grabbed at the clean ones, and at the ones the customers were using. Some weren't willing to give it up.

(20 spoons)

"Donary," Chad shouted (I guess your boss's name is Chad now) as he looked at you after collecting 20 of the spoons. "What the hell do you think you're doing?!"

You could feel Vernaculis watching you, and probably laughing at you.

I didn't even read what you said. I need to go to bed after this reply, dude.

I shake off the ants, and instead put my foot on his throat and increase the gravity around his throat, while exerting as much force as possible on it, I ignore the phone call until I have atleast done the earlier action for a good 30 seconds, after that I answer if the person is still calling obviously, after answering I stop the effects of gravity and just keep my foot on his throat, still exerting pressure obviously.

No matter how much gravitational pull you inflicted on Todd's throat, you couldn't manage to decapitate him, let alone get a few inches deep. It was like he was made of something invincible inside his body.

It was good to know for you that the gravity was preventing the ants from climbing up your leg. (I guess, I'm not an expert on physics)

You answered the call.

"Boss," the main chef said. "The same man is back here. I called the police, but they aren't here yet. Todd, the man who attacked you, is here, trying to find me."

There are two of 'em? you thought.

Well, a burger costs about $2, I think. A steak costs about $8 to $9. A soda costs about 50 cents to a dollar, and Chinese-prepared chicken rice costs about $2 to $3.

That's what I can tell off the top of my head.

You grabbed the spray cans.

As you turned and took a few steps, you heard a voice from behind you.

"Hey, I need those!"

I break off a piece(A leg or something) of the scorpion and take the pipe from its corpse, "Fine greeting, you had this thing living out side of your town in the cave and I was just passing through anyways. I'm keeping this pipe might run into something else out there." and then leave after going to get my coat I left in the field.

Pretty much something about going to a dungeon with you for his buried treasure or smth.

Well, a burger costs about $2, I think. A steak costs about $8 to $9. A soda costs about 50 cents to a dollar, and Chinese-prepared chicken rice costs about $2 to $3.

That's what I can tell off the top of my head.

I head to the food store that sells the Chicken rice, buy one, and eat.
After this, if nothing of particular interest happens, I'd go out, buy a soda, and head home while drinking.

I just realized John Steele has seemingly been erased from existence.
WHAT HAPPENED?

Someone erased him from existence, of course.
