The Discord where you can apply
Hey there! This is a serious roleplay server with a superhero theme. With a heavy focus on narrative rp, it's more like forum RP than a tabletop game.
Injuries are described instead of there being HP, and if it's uncertain how something will play out in a fight the outcome usually comes down to a roll. If a player has a relevant skill, they add that plus or minus any difficulty/advantage from the situation. Beyond that, it's rule of cool and what makes sense.
The game uses very simple rules. They're basically just a few stats that provide a gauge of your character's strengths and limitations. They're likely to change as the game continues. We have plugins like local chat, dice, roleplay calendar, and cards (Save lored items like your stats), as well as a staff plugin to very quickly create lored items. (No AI writing is used on this server.)
We recommend you be 18+, as some themes in the world may touch on darker topics or inappropriate humor.
We use Discord to communicate, and the Minecraft server stays up 24/7 so you can hop in and roleplay any time, or 'text' another character if you get their number to get together. If you find something you want to investigate, you can talk to staff and we can play it out in the world!

The Setting
Over a thousand years ago, every human on earth gained superpowers. The stronger a power was, the stronger their body became - Super strength, amazing reflexes, impenetrable skin, and an Adonis physique without working out. People born without powers, the world itself, suddenly they all seemed fragile as glass. The chaos upended medieval civilization, and politics and society of every kind had to adapt to a world full of little gods.
Life continued. Whenever one of these champions died, they had the opportunity to give away their powers to an unpowered person nearby, and if they didn’t, the powers would pass away to be inherited by the next heir to be born.
As time went on, some of these powers were combined. People gave them up to other people with similar abilities, making them stronger. Some were lost, in ways that no one remembers or cares to share. Only a handful of new powers have dropped onto the face of the earth since then. Most endemic powers have been passing hands for a millenia.
The capabilities of these powers are varied and their flavors have a wild range, but one thing remains consistent across each and every one: Something has to be consumed to use them. For most Champions, that thing is food. Thousands of calories a day, and they still have that superhero bod. Others need to be around plants, or spilled blood, or lift text from the pages of a book, or a million other things. This need for something to Burn is why people named the powers Embers.
The year is 2006. The population pushed past six billion before the new millenium, and it’ll reach ten billion before the century ends, far outpacing the growth of available Embers. Champions aren’t as common as they used to be, and there aren’t enough to fill all the niches society made for them. There are Kaijus to fight, aliens to fend off, vampires in the metro, and a thousand other things that mean ordinary people put up with freaks in spandex robbing banks and stopping said robbers.
You’re a superhero from the Independent States of America, new to the biz. You're based in Broville, where the crazy stuff happened in the eighties and things have calmed down a little bit. Your powers mean when people got problems, you can help them. And people have a lot of problems.
