WARNING: Spoilers for the GEN-V show lay ahead.

Setting: Characters are stepping into the Boys/Gen-V universe, specifically at the fictional Godolkin University. The tuition is proclaimed to be "very affordable," but it is around $70K (77,000 US dollars, to be exact) a year. Students apply for grants and scholarships to help offset costs. This game unfolds in an alternate universe and timeline, separate from Gen-V events, in 2024, starting in the first week of September. The actual location of the University will be Albany, New York.
♕ All staff and students (and the public, really) know that Compound V is the reason Supes became Supes.

Time: The goal for this game is that Week 1 will take place for one in-real-life month. However, that might not fit the pace once the game starts. Depending on the game's flow, we might need more or less time. Once Week 1's rankings are determined, players will have a week to close out any scenes, and the game will open up Week 2.

Character Guidelines:
♛ Originality Required: Characters from the original series of The Boys and Gen-V are not allowed. Similar abilities are permitted, but no character should be as overpowering as Homelander.
♚ The Woods Exclusion: 'The Woods' concept from the original story does not exist in this game.
♕ Focus on Character Development: The game emphasizes character-driven stories over plot lines involving programs that torture/kill students. Sexual content is, of course, welcome in the game, but the goal is that the game is not purely smut.
♔ PM completed CS applications to RainyHigh, with the subject "God U CS Application." After approval, I will direct players to post their accepted characters in the recruitment thread.

Game Information and Rules:
♛ Game Master: As the GM, I hold the final decision on character approval and other important story choices and plot devices that may come forward.
♚ Age Requirement: All characters must be 18 years or older.
*♕ Character Limit and Expansion: Players can have up to FIVE characters at a time. Game activity and previous character usage will be taken into account in this application process.
♚ Character Roles: Players can create characters who are students or staff (teachers, janitors, cashiers, secretaries, etc.).
♛ Compliance with E's Rules: All characters and posts must adhere to E's rules and guidelines.
♚ Off-Limits Role: The GM-NPC campus president character is not available for players.
♕ Out of Character (OOC) Communication: OOC chat will be on the forum board; this game will have no discord group.
♚ In-Game and OOC Etiquette: In-game conflicts are part of the story, but respect is maintained in OOC chats. Our goal is fun, not stress.
♕ Post Formatting: Use headers and your character's image for each post. Header codes will be provided at the top of each thread. Extreme and Sexual/Adult content must be noted in the TW/content area for any scene that includes them.
♔ Faceclaim Requirements: Faceclaims must be 18+ and realistic-looking. AI-generated and realistic artwork is acceptable, but anime and cartoon-style images are not.
♛ Posting Expectation: At least once a week per character. Players can let the GM know if this expectation can't be met for any reason so they can be excused.
♚ This game will be placed in the Extreme Groups area of Elliquiy due to the nature of the 'universe' in which this story is set. Thunderdome matches can be extremely violent if all players in a scene agree first.
♛ Writing POV: Character posts must be written in third-person POV.
*♔ NPC-ing Canon Characters: Only allowed with GM approval. A brief statement must be made of why they need to be written in a scene. There is a limit as well; each use of a canon character must be outlined to the GM. My reasoning behind this is that the story focus is on original characters, not canon characters from the franchise.

📢 *Godolkin University Announcement: Fight Scene Collaboration 📢
Hey, everyone! Moving forward, a new guideline will be implemented for all fight scenes to make sure the story keeps its smooth, cohesive flow.

Here’s what we need to do:
For any combat or action-driven scenes, all parties involved should communicate with each other before and/or during the writing process. This means reaching out to each other in the OOC thread, private group chat, or DMs to discuss your intentions, actions, and outcomes. By doing this, we can avoid misunderstandings, keep character dynamics clear, and enhance the collaborative storytelling experience for everyone.

🎲 Dice Bot? Up to You!
I've set up a Discord server for people who want to use a dice bot (Dice Maiden).
If you decide to use a dice bot to guide outcomes, go for it—but it’s not required.
Just make sure everyone in the scene agrees on this method so no one is caught off guard by unexpected twists.
Private message me, and I'll invite you and your scene partners to the Discord server.

Thanks for your cooperation! 💜

*updated on March 12th, 2024.
*updated on August 10th, 2024.
*updated on October 9th, 2024.


It's been a few years since I've been a GM for any game, so I may-no, I will be rusty. But I'll try my best.
This is a recruitment thread to see if anyone might be interested in this type of game/story.

Specific Class Ideas for the Lamplighter School of Crimefighting and Crimson Countess School of Performance

There could be normal (non-Supe) classes on campus, too, but they'd be more like electives rather than majors.

So, Supes could sign up for maths, economics, writing, English literature, chemistry, geology, and other subjects that could transfer to regular universities if they decide to continue their education after Godolkin.

♦Mental Resilience and Ethical Decision-Making: Developing psychological resilience to cope with the pressures of heroism and making tough decisions in crises while upholding ethical standards.

♦Technology and Power Enhancement: Understanding the use of technology to enhance superhuman abilities, including the study of Compound V and its implications.

♦Interpersonal Skills and Team Dynamics: Fostering teamwork, leadership, and effective communication among diverse groups of heroes with different powers and backgrounds.

♦History of Superheroes and Villains: Learning from past incidents involving supers, understanding the evolution of hero-villain dynamics, and recognizing patterns in criminal behavior.


Crimson Countess's School's major in performance might offer courses such as:
♦Superhero Stagecraft and Special Effects: Learning to create believable and spectacular visual effects for live superhero performances without relying solely on powers.

♦Villain Character Development: Studying the psychology and motivations behind villains to create compelling and realistic antagonist characters in performances.

♦Music and Sound Design for Heroic Entrances: Crafting signature tunes and sound effects that complement a hero's or villain's persona and powers during their dramatic appearances.

♦Public Speaking and Charisma for Heroes and Villains: Enhancing communication skills to deliver powerful speeches, press statements, or even intimidating monologues, depending on the character's role.

Character Name: (GM-NPC) Dr. Reginald "Reggie" Davis
Super Hero Alias: Mindmaster
Writer Name: RainyHigh
Faceclaim: Jesse L. Martin

Age: 54
Gender Identity: Male
Sexuality: Heterosexual. Married and Monogamous.
Role: President/Dean of Godolkin University

Physical Description: Reginald has a warm and welcoming smile, giving off an air of approachability and intellect. He often wears stylish suits that complement his physique. Occasionally seen wearing glasses, Reginald also keeps a neatly trimmed goatee that is graying slightly.
Height: 6 ft. 2 in.
Eye Color: Brown
Hair Color: Black and gray

Personality:
♟ Empathetic: Reggie's background in psychology endows him with deep empathy, allowing him to understand and share the feelings of others.
♟ Charismatic:  His ability to lead and influence points to a charismatic nature that draws people to him.
♟ Principled: As an advocate for the responsible use of powers, Reggie operates with strong principles.
♟ Intelligent: His Ph.D. and multilingual abilities highlight a sharp intellect.
♟ Overly Candid: He tends to be overly candid, sometimes at the risk of offending or being too direct.
♟ Inflexible: Reggie's dedication to principles may sometimes manifest as inflexibility, making it difficult to compromise or adapt to new ideas that challenge his established beliefs.

Biography:
Dr. Reginald "Reggie" Davis, known in the superhero realm as Mindmaster, began his dual career path early on. His natural leadership and psychological expertise led him to utilize his superpowers to sway public opinion toward positive societal change. As Mindmaster, he gained notoriety for his ethical use of powers, notably his 'pushing' ability and involvement in peaceful resolutions.

His transition to academia was marked by a desire to shape young minds ethically. Reggie's reputation as a forward-thinking educator caught the attention of Godolkin University, leading to his eventual appointment as President. At Godolkin, he advocated for the responsible use of superpowers, setting an example as a paragon of heroism and academic excellence.

Under his presidency, Godolkin flourished, becoming a nurturing ground for superheroes who valued moral integrity as much as strength. Reggie's leadership, marked by his approachable demeanor and commitment to student development, made him a beloved figure on campus and a respected authority in the superhero community.

Super Powers:
♞ Persuasion: By simultaneously combining tactile contact with verbal guidance, Reginald can assert authority over others (upon agreement OOC-ly), referred to as "pushing."
♞ Mind Reading: Reggie can read the thoughts of individuals near him.
♞ Superhuman Durability: Reginald possesses some superhuman durability, making him more durable than humans.
♞ Regenerative Healing Factor: The President of God U has a limited but rapid accelerated healing factor that is faster than humans.
♞ Sleep Induction: Reginald can induce sleep in people to subdue them.

Skills:
♜ Highly Educated. Reginald has a Ph.D. in psychology.
♜ Speaks Spanish, Mandarin, and English.
♜ Practices the martial art of Aikido.

Flaws/Weaknesses:
♖ Blunt Force/Limited Durability: Although Reggie is much more durable than any human being, his durability is not on the same level as Homelander's. Going against someone with super strength and no access to his telepathic abilities--he'd most likely lose.
♖ Tacticle Contact and Verbal Guidance Required: For Reggie to exert his telepathic "pushing" abilities on others, he must establish physical skin-to-skin contact with them and issue verbal instructions.
♖ High Frequencies: Due to being a Supe, Reginald can hear certain frequencies that humans cannot. When a specific frequency is played, it can induce immense pain and temporarily neutralize him.

Likes: Soul Food | Jazz Music | Cool Sunny Days | Reading | Watching Plays | Aikido | Academic Debates
Dislikes: Junk Food | Extreme Weather Conditions that shut down campus events | Racism | People who are dishonest | Students who are failing classes

[VVitch]

I don't normally love superheroes but I do like this universe. Definitely interested.

[Foxy DeVille]

Hmmm... usually don't go for academy type settings but this one looks like it has potential. Color me interested and I'll start pondering on a peep.

[RainyHigh]

Woohoo~ I'm so glad that at least two writers are interested so far.
And if either of you have more questions, please ask away.


Oh! CS sheets can be PM'ed to me, please, with the subject "God U CS Application".
I'll update the first post with that info since I... well, I forgot. 😅
Brainstorming of characters can happen here, of course.
I'll keep a running tap of accepted characters under the character sheet and then give players the go-ahead to post accepted characters here.

[Yukina]

A group game run by one of my favorite fellow writers that I can trust to have a similar pace? Count me in. :)

[Primarch]

This may shock you, but I'll plant a flag of Interest. 

[Wistful Dream]

Two questions for you lovely <3

1. Do you have to be familiar with the setting to join? I haven't watched the shows, intentionally since they are rather violent.
2. What is the planned rating/content limit?

[Yukina]

Thank you for the help with brainstorming Vought connections on Discord, Rainy. :)

[xPeachyPuff]

I'm interested c: I'll see if I can come up with anything cool!

[RainyHigh]

Sorry about the slowness, busy morning IRL for me.

A group game run by one of my favorite fellow writers that I can trust to have a similar pace? Count me in. :)

Thaaaank you Yukina!

This may shock you, but I'll plant a flag of Interest.

I can't believe it. But this is awesome. Your Boys themed group games def. were an inspiration in this one, Primarch.

Two questions for you lovely <3

1. Do you have to be familiar with the setting to join? I haven't watched the shows, intentionally since they are rather violent.
2. What is the planned rating/content limit?

1. Not really, since we aren't using any original characters. Homelander and other members of the Seven can be referenced, but just know that they are like Vought's best superheroes on the roster. Also, if there are any questions regarding world info, throw them my way, and I can summarize them as best as I can for people.
2. I mentioned that it would be Extreme Small Groups referencing the fights and battles students have at the 'Thunderdome' each week (or elsewhere) to determine the rankings at the school. But writers are NOT required to participate, and if they want to, they must agree with the other writer on how extreme they want the fight to get beforehand.

Thank you for the help with brainstorming Vought connections on Discord, Rainy. :)

No problem, Yukina!
Also, people can PM me questions if they don't want to post them here. I'll try to share any cool ideas people have here as well.

I'm interested c: I'll see if I can come up with anything cool!

Awesome! So many great writers are interested so far. Hype!

[Kadigan]

I find myself……interested. 

[RainyHigh]

Woohoo~ Glad to see that interest, Kadigan! Also glad to see another familiar face.

Update: VVitch brought up a good point in pm's with me. We will make it cannon that all students and staff have common knowledge of Compound V being the reason behind Supes. I'll update the first post in this thread with that note!

[Nowherewoman]

Love the concept. But you know me and big groups, Rainy :(  Wish you luck with it! <3

[RainyHigh]

Thanks for the kind thoughts, regardless NWW~



VVitch has an approved character of Darius/Destroyer. Look out for their post sharing their approved character soon.

[VVitch]

Thank you so much for approval, Rainy. Darius is here to be a nightmare at the Thunderdome and a joy at parties...

Character Name: Darius Dunn
Super Hero Alias: Destroyer / Triple D
Writer Name: VVitch
Faceclaim: Harry Samba

Age: 21
University Year: 3rd
Roommate Preference: Double
Gender Identity: Male (He/Him)
Sexuality: Pansexual, Bad at relationships
Role: Student

Physical Description: Darius is tall, broad and muscular. He has distinctive dreadlocks, a strong beard and a very intense stare. He tends to dress casually in streetwear, hoodies, activewear and the odd shirt barely buttoned halfway up. In the cold, he wears a large black wool overcoat. Darius likes jewelry, especially chunky necklaces and rings. His body language is always very enthusiastic and he cuts a larger-than-life presence.
Height: 6'6"
Eye Color: Brown
Hair Color: Black

Personality:
♚ Assertive
♚ Confident
♚ Proud
♚ Aggressive
♚ Intense
♚ Fiery
♚ Jock
♚ Flirtatious

Biography: Darius never had it easy. His parents were sold, hard, on the idea of Compound V as a ticket to a better life, joining the program despite being poor. What it gave them was a baby who screamed constantly, needing to be fed absurd amounts just to calm him yet barely gaining any weight. Their child's powers came in young, causing regular fires and other accidents due to his control issues. Unlike so many others, Darius's parents never called their boy a monster. They loved him, and they regretted what they had done to him.

Growing up poor, Darius was determined to use his powers to become a hero and get his parents out of the rough neighbourhood he had to endure with them all through his childhood. As a supe, he had popularity and respect among his peers especially as he gradually gained more and more control through diligent work. Over the years, he had a few accidents bruising friends, damaging property and causing unintentional trouble but he never did anything disastrous.

That was until the day he over-trained, pushing himself to press a full ton even as a teenager. The energy he output to do it melted the bar in his hands, turning it into molten metal before a wave of heat and force blasted through the gym, killing ten people. When Vought supes arrived they found a crying teenager in the middle of the destruction and seeing his potential they decided to brush the accident away as a gas leak and get Darius connected to Detroit's supe Nubian Prince to try to get him some early training.

It worked well, the mentoring letting Darius avoid any other accidents and leading to Vought promising a full-ride scholarship to God-U due to his growing social media presence, determination and sheer power. Every single day Darius felt the weight and guilt of his mistake, the lives he had taken through clumsiness and arrogance.

On the way to God-U, he maintained high grades, trained himself half to death and learned all he could from his mentor. One way or another, he was going to be what his parents hoped for. Even learning the truth about V, he understood what it was like to be desperate and he still wanted to give his parents a better life. They had always supported him, even through his accident, and he would do the same for them.

It didn't take long after joining God-U for Darius to make a name for himself. His near-fanatic obsession with training was unsettling but he had his vices, too, a common sight at Campus parties with a bottle of Hennessey in hand to take his mind off of it all. Due to his powers, he had to drink bottle after bottle to feel a thing and he recovered in no time at all. It was the one risk he took, he never used his powers at a party or while drinking and he promised himself if he just had that outlet he wouldn't do anything else stupid.

Mostly, Darius became known around Campus for two things. Thunderdome matches and after parties. He racked up an absurd record, including many of the fastest knockouts in God-U history, and threw some of the most infamous parties, too. His nickname, Destroyer, came after he fractured another student's skull with a single punch and ended a Thunderdome match in six seconds. Darius has been a frequent presence at the top end of the top 10 at God-U, almost always only backsliding when he makes a P.R. mistake at a party, rarely due to losing fights.

Around campus, Darius is either loved or hated. Hated for being arrogant, popular, brash and at times aggressive, or just for putting people flat on their asses in the Thunderdome. Loved for being confident, fun, strong and on track to big things. Nobody knows about the explosion Darius caused as a teenager and he avoids letting anyone get close enough that he might let it slip.

Super Powers:
☢ Walking Reactor: Darius's heart generates energy at an extreme rate, making him almost completely tireless and fuelling his other abilities.
☢ Bomb casing: Darius's skin is hardened, a shell to keep the energy inside contained. He is extremely hard to hurt, even compared to most supes.
☢ Boom: Darius's energy can be used to fuel his muscles, allowing him to exert extreme strength, even for a supe, while he has energy to burn.
☢ Energy Projection: Darius can project the energy he houses from his eyes, palms or in blasts from his entire body. These are usually gouts of flame but can be focused into beams.
☢ Human Missle: Darius can project his energy to fly. He can do so at extreme speeds but he cannot hover well and his control is questionable at best.

Skills:
♜ Street Smart
♜ Trained in Heroics by Nubian Prince
♜ Good Driver
♜ Boxing
♜ Biochemistry & Physics
♜ Law
♜ Extremely Driven

Flaws/Weaknesses:
☣ Fuel: Darius requires an inhuman amount of calories to fuel his powers. He can't eat normally, having to drink specially formulated ultra calorie dense shakes all day just to survive. Darius can never sleep more than around three hours without waking starving.
☣ Hazard: The more Darius uses his powers, the more his body heats up and the more energy he radiates. It's not easy or safe to fight alongside, or anywhere near, Darius. Even he isn't sure if there would come a point where he would destroy himself.
☣ Tick Tock: As Darius uses his powers, he burns his fuel. Part of why he tends to win fights so spectacularly, and so fast, is because he burns through his energy fast and if he didn't win, he'd have little left. He has a time limit on his powers.
☣ Relatively Slow: While extremely durable, and strong, Darius is not slow for a Supe but for one of his power level he's not fast, either.
☣ High Frequencies: Like all supes, Darius is vulnerable to hearing extremely high frequencies, which can incapacitate him.
☣ Alcohol: Darius has a problematic relationship with alcohol, using it to drown out bad thoughts and the stress he puts on himself. He usually drinks too much when he drinks, and drinks too often too.
☣ Aggressive: Darius is determined to be the best. When he's challenged, he doesn't back down or pull punches. He's willing to hurt others in the Thunderdome, more than most are.
☣ Misogynistic: Darius does not hate women but he does tend to casually objectify them very regularly. He's crude, and blunt, and needs someone to get him to stop seeing every girl he meets as a potential bedpost notch.

Tempted... though I really shouldn't be signing up for anything new!

[CandyLips]

Definitely interested! I'll start trying to see if I can figure a character out. ^_^

[xPeachyPuff]

I've come up with an idea for right now! I'm thinking a councillor for the student body, or other staff members if they'd like, whose also a bit of a PR advisor and had the abilities to shape change into other people. Want to tell someone something? Let's act it out, tell them how you really feel. Maybe mixed with some Regeneration and other bits and bobs, but we'll see on that front!

I'll get working on the sheet ASAP c:

I'm going to set up a flag of interest.

Well I'm glad that you were tempted at least. :)

Looking forward to it!

That sounds intriguing~ Looking forward to the CS! If you have any questions let me know!

Hey there, glad to see yet another familiar face!

Just wanted to let everyone know since someone brought up a good point. At the start of Week 1 of the new university year, the rankings will be "empty." In student CS biographies, students can, of course, mention winning rank #1, #2 or whatever number a few times throughout the year of course (IF they are sophomores, juniors, or seniors).

Reserving the face claim: Monifa Jansen | Writer : VVitch

Edit: Another approved character is on the horizon! Look out for Yukina's approved character Shizuka Takeda being posted soon~

Edit 2: Updated the faceclaims section.

Planting a flag of massive interest! I might come out of hiatus for this... but I'll PM you my concept first, @RainyHigh, to see if she'll be a good fit.

@RainyHigh is Mindmaster's power to read/hear thoughts known to the general public? And I really should have asked this before anything else, but are Thunderdome matches mandatory, as in "are students forced to participate"?
