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.

Now, I allow as many players as possible. I will try to keep track of everyone, but I need to have you do something for me. First off, fill it this sheet.

Name: (Insert)
Sex: Male/Female
Age: (Anything)
Superpower: (Anything within reason)

Biography: (Please keep it concise. I can't read walls and walls of text. It should include your past, personality and how you came to be in the present.)
---
Level: 1
XP: 0/20
---
HP: 20/20

Then, what I type below your sheet, please quote it and post it. I will also do the same for you.

I hope I can update once every day. I will try my best.

Biography: In the past, he lived with his moderate family whose parents work as farmers. He discovered his superpower while playing hide-and-seek in his school with his friends. He made ice in the ground. Fortunately, he was hiding in an empty room and tried to melt it, which worked. No one discovered it. He is responsible, often putting himself at fault, and moderately kind. He lacks self confidence. Present day, he's a 9th grade student doing fine.

aka Rapyion saying "I'm too lazy to retype everything". Not that i blame you.

Haha! Yeah, it would be a pain to retype it.

I try to dodge whlist firing an ice bolt.

You moved to the side, bringing up your hand. Cason grabbed it and pulled you in for a headbutt.

(-1 HP)

You saw Fae fighting off against the goo, using the dead body of Reagul as a shield.

You fell onto the ground, seeing his shoe coming up against your face.

(You need to detail how you're going to use the ice slab. Otherwise, I'd just take it that you would just slam it into him normally.)

You instinctively tried to get out of the way, the shoe causing a bruise at your left shoulder.

(-1 HP)

Then you threw an ice slab at him, pushing him back. Mid-push, he grabbed onto the ice slab and threw it back at you, moving towards Fae instead.

I try to jump away from the ice slab. I create an ice sword in my right hand and fire icicles at Cason.

"Where were they buried?" Den asked.
"I know," Josef said. "Do you want to go there?"
Den nodded. "Who's coming?"
You saw Polish, Josef and Paul stepping forward. Yoren was staying back, shaking his head.
Den just went outside, and the three of them followed. You followed them too.
You passed by the metro station and the city centre, slowly apparent that Reshy and Favreu were buried in a nearby cemetery. It wasn't obvious to anyone, either because no one cared about a graveyard or that it had the colours of the city, grey and bleak.
You and the group were pretty much alone as you entered the cemetery. As soon as you did, the skies turned bluish green.
"What's this?" Den said as he looked up. "Everyone, watch out."
The three of them hid behind the tombstones. You and Den stood out like a sore thumb.
"Who enters?" You heard a voice in the skies.

"Who's asking?", I shout back.
<Has this anything to do with Reshy and Favreu?>, I ask Den in thought.

You fired icicles at Cason while making an ice sword in your hand (though I never see you use it). The icicles pierced his back as he staggered forward, body slamming into Fae instead. Mr. Reagul was somewhat torn to shreds.

Then you heard a voice coming from outside the office.

"Mr. Reagul? Are you okay in there?"

It was Mr. Sully.

Yes, it's okay. But I have to warn you that you can only turn a limited list of things into clay or turning a small item into clay. Turning everything into clay would take tremendous power.

"Let's go on this journey together, shall we?"

You woke up, the voice playing in your mind.

You were in your dorm. It was early morning, but you knew you didn't have classes til' the afternoon. Out the window, you saw a few students on campus, walking around, hanging, chillin'.

You heard a crisp sound, then saw something accurately come at you from the window.

"Why do you trespass?" the voice said. "This is a place of rest."

<What, a sentient cemetery?>

"We come here because two of your residents are very obviously not at rest, and disturb the living. Can you help us?"

The dead are suddenly more open-minded and rational than ever before!

It's like they're trying to break the stereotype.

<What, a sentient cemetery?>

"We come here because two of your residents are very obviously not at rest, and disturb the living. Can you help us?"

<Might be. I've never been to a place like this before.>

"I know when one of us is of unrest. There is no one. You are wasting your time. Leave or be forced to leave."

You and Den had a feeling that the voice was going to send undead at you.

You can also apparently read a bit of Den's mind.

"Yeah, sure!" Fae shouted as she sent a stream of electricity at a wall, missing Cason entirely. "Let's go and kill everyone-"

Cason landed a punch onto Fae. As she fell, you saw the door open and Mr. Sully stood, surprised.

"Ax?! What's going on-" he said just before he laid his eyes on Mr. Reagul.

"Is.. Is.."

Fae grabbed onto Cason's legs, dragging him down and slamming him onto the floor. Her hands grew bright white as she burned part of his legs. You didn't see the damage, but you definitely knew that he wasn't going to walk for months (unless a healer came along).

Mr. Sully frowned.

In a short time, you saw two unconscious bodies on the ground, next to a dead one.

"Ax! Call the ambulance now!" Mr. Sully said.

I call the ambulance, it'll probably be good if Fae becomes conscious too.

(Oh yeah. I didn't seem to explain it too well. Fae was knocked out by Sully, as if you never saw him touch her even once.)

You went to the nearest phone and called the ambulance. Mr. Sully went over to Reagul and stared at his face.

After an apparent mourning session, he went over to Fae's and Cason's unconscious bodies and stood over them, watching them.

"Ax," he said. "Could you tell me what happened?"
