Do Non-Gifted know about the gifted?

For the most part yes. Most non powered humans in NYC are aware of the existence of super powered humans, though the outbreak is not universally or even internationally known as of yet. For the most part most people in the city are aware that super powers have broken loose, though they are unaware why and it is not accepted as a norm as of yet.

In this universe was NYC the only place effected?

So far the only outbreaks that have been sited have been in NYC and it hasn't even seemed to effect the entirety of new york state, so yes.

Does the government know about the blackout?

Yes the US Government is aware of what has taken place, and are finding means to suppress it. Though non government agents/officials will most likely be unaware of this.

Do I have to have superpowers?

No, if you do not want a super power, next to power put "None." and staff will leave your application as is, unless there is something else that is wrong with the application.

What is occupation for?

Occupation is just to show how your character makes a living in this hectic city life. Their job can be just about anything, we have large scale drug dealers and CIA members to homeless people who beg for change. If you have an important role though, you must act the part and will be informed of the responsibilities that come with your job.

What is the setting of Superland?

New York City, the real New York City.

Is the rp limited to NYC?

For now yes, though it may eventually expand.

Can my character start with a weapon?
Yes, If you would like to start with a weapon after you make your character post here and label it "Starter Item". Though if the staff feels that it unsuitable for the character given their occupation it will be denied. This Rp is based in realism and we do not expect Mcdonalds workers or cartel to carry broadswords or machettes, if you make with an occupation that seems nonsensical in an urban environment you will most likely be told to change it.

How good can I be at using a weapon?
Unless you have a power, or a profession that would imply above average use with a weapon, you are considered to have the laymans (average or untrained) man's amount of proficiency with a given weapon. Though you can gain skill with the tool via rp. Though the time it takes to learn something will be along the lines of the actual rate of time it would take the average person to learn (unless a power would allow one to learn it faster).

What day/month/year is it in Superlandl?

Unless explicitly stated otherwise (a Christmas thread starting a bit before Christmas and lasting two weeks) the timeline is identical to our current timeline, and threads happen on the day they begin.


Who is the president of the U.S?

Barack Obama. There have been no fictional presidents in this universe. Other world leaders and politicians are the same as well, as of July, 29 2013.

The power to give other people powers is a power, but it's banned. The gene splicing, and power swapping powers are available. But they require other people to be present and for DNA to be properly preserved for them to work.
