Super City - Discussion Thread

Presenting: #SuperCity

Public opinion on genetically acquired powers, scientifically obtained attributes, or trips to be trained inside an isolated palace by an impervious combatant has become systematically sour. So, the conceived slogan may rub people the wrong way, but these people haven't met me. All it takes is the reversal of the meaning super and applying the concept to the city rather than the individuals inside.

As a result, by predicted estimations, Super City starts trending in seventy-seven seconds flat. So much so the public is enchanted by the prospect of a city being super power proof. In fact, an environment where powers can be detected, monitored, and dampened if they are a risk toward the public is far to tempting to deny.

In a few hours the airwaves will be flooded with my proposal for the next month or two, and if the estimations based on my perfectly poised demeanor ring true, Zeraz Technologies could be seeing a unanimous amount of support stemming from the age bracket of 18-21 year old's.

"After the Bedlam Breakout; I knew then and there that Gothic City couldn't take the abuse of the superhuman community any longer. Too many people live in fear of their lives being cut short, because criminals with powers think they can call the shots."

"That's why I say enough is enough. It's about time the citizens of this city walked outside without thinking today might be their last. That's why I'm here to present to you; the one, the only, GWE!"

"Super City. It's the hero the people deserve."

• Mister Zeraz proposes Super City, a possible reinvention of Gothic City to dissuade any perception that it may be a place where American death rates are through the roof.
• GWE (God's Watchful Eyes, thematic hint) is introduced to the public, an AI program in it's infant stage that's been presented to President Pierce, but before it's implemented Gothic City will be used at the beta program's testing stage
• If passed, Super City could be up and running by Christmas Eve ;-)
• This is a discussion thread after all. I want to rebrand Gothic City for an undetermined amount of time, because I intend on launching an rpg based on the GWE program and the effects it'll have on the community as a whole.
• I'm open to assistance, questions (of course), story ideas, and listening to anything that may draw concern.

I absolutely love it...so much potential, I'm drooling.

My av reverted to what it was a couple weeks ago O_o

Nice prison your proposing

@palidan: This wouldn't be necessary if the knuckleheads didn't attack and murder Gothic City every other Tuesday. I'm the order this place needs.

@the_last_guardian: That's a throwback av o.o

Also, thanks! It all feels like natural progression so hopefully it lifts off.

@legacy_: Well, you've got my hands on deck if you need 'em, bro...

starting an RPG by Christmas Eve may be a little ambitious tho, especially since it'll probably be even deader here than it is now...shoot for January

@the_last_guardian: Hell no! I wouldn't do the rpg on Christmas Eve. The story would just take place on that day lol My ass better be enjoying myself off the computer.

It'll great to have you on board though. A writing reunion :)

lol..ok

yaaas..we brainstormed some awesome ideas together back in the day. Was just reading a couple old PMs the other day, actually..

@the_last_guardian: World of Alternation was one of our ideas if I remember correctly. Flashpoint - esque

We were pretty cool as far as I recall *high fives

high fives

WoA was pretty fricking awesome..we need to follow through more lol

@the_last_guardian: I get very lazy. I also have commitment issues, but I'm trying to change lol

@legacy_: You and me both, man...let's get better together lol

Love the idea

@darkchild: Cool beans.

@the_last_guardian: For sure.

Might end up in fireworks

Over my dead body.

Jk. I like the idea but you're going to have to invade Gothic since it's a No Man's Land and the people pretty much don't like anything or anyone related to Stark.

Expect a clash

OOC Az likes it, good story

Naturally IC I will be against :P

Ooc I don't mind it if the other Gothic City based characters are okay with it.

IC I will oppose it with all my strength and probably even built an alliance with Akira and others.

@honor_avenger: @kayle_rez: Thank you! And yes. Opposition! Unlike Clarice, Zeraz is a bit more transparent. He just looks like a guy who's sketchy and he definitely has a sketchy history.

@_darkwing_: @enormity: This is America, not a third world country. If the president pushed forward with new security measures to get this heap of death back on track I'd imagine answering with bloodshed would be very outlandish. I'd imagine protests though, very heavy protests, because this could be seen as transition into a police state. The beginning of Clarice finally losing a small fraction of public support through this effort. And I'd totally be down for opposition, but if that were to happen I'd want to do it in a way that isn't repetitive (i.e. Gothic City in chaos again!!!)

@legacy_: This guy is a doofus/idjit so he would probably just stare blankly, but his presence is toxic so there will be blood but involuntarily so

And that's f*cking my job up.

@legacy_: she'll be protesting, but will mostly go with the kids

Also, this.

Very well thought and I'd love to see it in motion, but IC, I have a few characters that wouldn't be happy about this =P

Dude. This. Is. AWESOME.

OOC I think it would be a good RP, especially if its aimed for more of the gritty street levelers. It would def boost involvement if done after the new year.

IC: I will fight it tooth and nail. Vex believes that Gothic can be saved by her own people. Not some hand out by the fatcats.

Up top!

@_darkwing_: boom.

@_vex_:

You need to give Alexander a height boost. My character is taller than him.

@_darkwing_: I'm thinking heels. Specifically stilettos. Note to self, ask @valerie_huntington IC for a pair that match the new outfit XD lol

@_vex_: Oh no. I've made a terrible, terrible, mistake.

@legacy_: Just be prepared to be fought against on multiple fronts: HA will turn your past against you as well as do sabotage and acts of outright terrorism.

I'm taking a lack of opposition as the green light. I'll be building this up through blogs till after the holiday season, because I know there won't be any strong activity come Christmas and New Years (Turn up time! ayee)

l0v3 it
