[OOC] Willow Park Academy of The Supernatural

timeladymanedwolf · 10-23-2014, 01:34 PM

No completely mundane characters will be allowed in this GURPS setting - they MUST have some degree of supernatural or otherwise abnormal ability, aware of it or not.

That being said, Willow Park Academy is a sanctuary for such abnormal children from all across the world. They are found and brought to this place, kept safe from those 'muggles' as per the borrowed term that would normally hurt or kill them for such unusual abilities. Kids all across the elementary school to high school age range are brought here as soon as their unusual abilities are detected, and graduates often choose to live nearby or even become teachers or staff.

For the purposes of the players, they are allowed to play children and teens that are being taught. You have 150 points with which to build your characters, and the disadvantage limit is 40. If you have any questions by all means ask, though this is my first time GMing. I'll try to run this without any character deaths, the main emphasis is the social interaction of the characters and them trying to learn how to control their powers.

Especially common powers are Superstrength and speed, flight, and telekinesis. I WILL NOT ALLOW world jumping or time travel. I may allow highly limited Snatching, depending upon how you build the ability. Otherwise, I put no limit on abilities and this campaign is meant to be highly cinematic.

The school itself has many facilities, often in places rumored to be haunted or otherwise clearly supernatural- Gettysburg, Cassadaga, etc. Please specify which campus your character is residing in.

So is this meant to be a number of one on one games like OOC Lost in Dreams?

I am interested but have no idea when I'll get around to making a character.

Oh and you may want to advertise in the Meta: Looking for Players thread. I know some people have that thread followed.

No, it'll be a group RP...

And alright I'll do that.

Are players building powers normally from the CP total of 150?

Might be tough to build a super strength character on that budget...

Super strength is one of those powers that develops gradually in the setting. To reflect this you start off with 150 points as a small child or teen and build up the strength score with earned points.

Supernatural -- what genre is this? I'm not really sure. I can imagine fantasy, supers, or horror type characters.
