RP Name - Onyx Age: Heroic Renaissance (A DCU Elseworlds Roleplay Forum)
RP url - onyxage.proboards74.com
Host (i.e. proboards, invisionfree, geocities, etc.) - ProBoards
Approximate member number - 11 members, 27 characters
Difficulty (easy, intermediate, difficult, or suitable for all) - Intermediate
Activity (slow, medium, or fast) - Slow and steady, growing
Rating (required for sites above PG-13) - PG-15 for swearing and violence, though sexual content is not allowed.
Are auditions of some sort required? - Example posts are required in the form, but no actual auditions are required. Canon characters are not playable by members, so there is no real part to audition for.
Is there some sort of plot? If so, what is it? - It is 17 years after the Infinite Crisis.
But it is not the world you would know.
Clark Kent never regained his powers, instead going into politics as his way of changing the world. Bart Allen never took the mantle of the Flash up, and never died. The tenth age of magic started later than it should have, resulting in a madman with the power of Fate waging a one-man war on the world. Many of the world's heroes have been killed, those that are left either retired or are struggling to hold on to their lives.
It is a time when new heroes are needed more than they ever have been before.
It is the Onyx Age.
New site-wide plots will be announced in the form of 'Issues' every few months attempting to coincide with what can be considered universal breaks in academic schedules.
The current Issue can be found here: Onyx Age Issue 0: A Time for Heroes
RP era and type (war, etc.) - Modern era, ~15 years in the future, DC elseworld.
Are beings other than humans allowed? If so, what type? - Metahumans (humans with powers,) are allowed, with creativity you can create powersets to mimic various fantastical races and creatures. Various alien and magical races (Atlantians, Tamaranians ) within the DCU are allowed, excluding Kryptonians.
Is magic allowed? - Yes
Other - Onyx Age is for people who may like DC comics but think canons are overpowered (Superman, don't worry, he's powerless,) or for people who may not know anything about the comics and just want to roleplay in a well developed modern setting with original characters with unique powersets. The site is based around a DC Elseworlds universe in future times. It takes place 17 years after Infinite Crisis as if 52 and everything that follows didn't happen, with some exceptions. No canons are playable (excluding some played by mods for prearranged story points only,) so original characters with or without powers are encouraged. Civilians are needed!
