a superhero role play in poetic form
hosted by villainy and heroism

● we are currently active and full ●

Hello and welcome to ( є и c σ м ι u м ) ғσя τнє ℓιvιηg, a poetry-format superhero
roleplay. Poetry-format role plays are generally attributed to Catastrophism, and
is in no way, shape or form my idea. I've even been told that a superhero poetry role
play has already been done before. So, give credit/praise where it is due. I myself am
a follower of these poetic pioneers. All hail!

In any case, this role play should be fun and engaging, a method of escape from the
mundane into realms creative and exploratory. Above all things else, I want to
encourage us all to pull together and just. plain. create. Now let's begin.

OKAY.
OPEN YOUR EYES.


There. Do you see it?
Try squinting a little. It may help.
A little blurry around the edges?
See it coming into view?
There.
Smoke stacks and
Sky scrapers,
Apartment buildings.

u r b a n x s p r a w l

Your plane has touched down.
You're home.
w e l c o m e x b a c k !
And we'll call it the city of
" M Y S T E R E "
You like that, huh?
Good, now look closer.
Because

LOOK!
UP IN THE SKY!


Ha.
Kidding.
Gotcha.

But you'd be surprised.
We're no strangers to
v i l l a i n y
or
h e r o i s m
here.
Here, there, everywhere.
Isn't that why you came?
You're not like everyone ELSE.
You're something powerful, something different . . .

But what?
a hero ?
or a villain ?
or somewhere in the
midyouareheredle ?
One way or another,
you'd better
make
up
your
mind.

You get it?
Good.
Now
GO!

with love,
- your humble narrator

This goes without saying, but keep to the Gaia tos, to keep us all from being banned.
I don't mind swearing, violence, romance, etc, but I do expect you to be capable of
judging when, where, and how much is appropriate.

You don't need insane amounts of paragraph-caged text to be a part of this role play,
but you do need dedication and thoughtfulness. Put some nice effort into your posts.
I need to know that you can spell, when your character is actually speaking, etc.
Mixed media (photographs, colors, etc) is key, so feel free to do some collaging.
Post in the first person.

I'm not going to put many restrictions on your characters, but I do ask that you use
real photographs, and that you limit yourselves to one power each. Key to any
successful role play is diversity, so please do not bombard me with 100 emo
teenagers (no offense to emo teenagers). Develop your characters, make them
complex; give them eccentricities, short comings, fears, weaknesses, strengths,
and philosophies. Make me fall in love. I suggest this fantastic thread for
help with appearance choices.

Affiliations are not absolute. A little side-switching can add drama and dynamism,
both of which are things we love.

To apply, write out a 'character monologue' and post it in the ooc thread.
It's extremely open-ended, so let your muses run wild. I only ask that you give
us a good sense of who your character is (maybe something about their past?
personality? relationships?), and explain to us what your character's power is.
Use color, use pictures, use caps, I don't care! Just get in there and get writing.
Once you've been judged, and if you're accepted, you may go on and fill out this
nifty little skeleton, and post it in the appropriate profile thread.

story progression

Japser, Corey, Guillaume, Desmond, and Addison are all in the yet-unnamed café
where Emma and Claire are currently working. They have just been party to a very
brief display of Jasper's superhuman speed, prompted by Corey willing his cup to drop.

Right outside are Atticus, Alice, Rose, Chloe, Benjamin, and Damien, who have decided
that a nice sit-down is in order after several of their supernatural powers were revealed.
Cashew, meanwhile, waits outside in his taxi for a costumer.

Lev and Ludwig are busting zombies and high scores in the arcade, along with
one of the many Nick clones, who looks on.

Meanwhile Camille has just arrived at her job at the pet-store, Domovoi has just left his
apartment, and all the other Nick clones are everywhere at once, because he's cool like that.

How can one be NORMAL when a family's not normal? I ask you this in complete seriousness but I don't think you can get the whole effect of my situation because I doubt that you have ever lived in a situation such as mine. They may not be Spiderman or Wonder Woman, but they're pretty up there. My parents that is and yes they are heros. They go by Ice and Flame. People said it wouldn't work but obviously it has. As you can see by me, who they call New Spring. That, thankfully is just my nickname and what my parents hope would be my super hero name. Other than that, I go by MARNIE, my parents go by MARTIN and MARIAN. I guess you could say we are close I mean we get along when they're home but they like doing things for people around the world. I'm at a friends house then. A close friend of the family, one that knows the whole story. Her name is GABRIELLA, her mother BILLY JEAN. No, they're not heros, but to me they are family.

They're not the only ones that are close to me. There's also a boy. His name is Jared and he seems to always be around. He's the ♥love of my life (though my parents constantly say $3v3n+33n is to young to be inlove) and he too knows all my secrets. He loves me as well. He says it's my c0oky attitude and my crazy antics. He once told me that my love for ADVENTURE is what drew him to me. I wouldn't doubt this. Jared is so quiet and so sweet. On the inside he's dying for adventure but all the same he's worried about could happen. He's such a worry wort.

I grew up with all these people in a little town not farm from Mystere. My parents loved the city but didn't want to live in it and so bought a little house on the edge next door to Gabriella and Jared. The three of us were always best friend but clearly things escilated between Jared and me. Gaby didn't mind, she found it rather sweet. They found out our secret when we were all just ten. One sunny day when we were all playing (superheroes of course), it began to rain just the same time I fell down and cut open my knee, as tears poured from my eyes, the rain poured from the sky. Everyone questioned it because as the tears dried up, so did the rain. That's when my parents decided that it was time to tell our friends and my power was the ability to control SPRING like weather. What a glorious day that was.

And so now you know. That is how one can't be normal. Not when both of your parents have super powers and fight for world peace.

((I think I read the rules correctly that told me to post about my character here. I'm not sure. I hope I'm right or I'll feel like a complete idiot for this.))

    Very creative. 8D
