Superheroics

Think something Silver Age-esque in mood/tone/setup: Fun, lighthearted, adventurous levity, and even some campiness with semi-snarky affection/genuine enjoyment of the superhero-supervillain dynamic and owning the genre's inherent silliness. I'm looking for something like Batman: The Brave and the Bold, Superman: The Animated Series, Sailor Moon, Yuyu Hakusho or Venture Brothers (including some sort of organization a la the Guild of Calamitous Intent would be awesome) in setting, tone and mood, not Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy or Man of Steel. 

 

I do admit there are a number of various canon heroines and such I'd love a partner to play as in a modern-day superheroic setting (though not required):

Kim Possible from Kim Possible

Sakura, Rose or Juri Han from Street Fighter

Chloe Sullivan from Smallville

Zatanna, Power Girl or Lois Lane (ideally with her Superman the Animated Series appearence) from DC Comics

Hermione Granger or Ginny Weasley from Harry Potter

Serena, Amy, Rei, Lita, Mina or Black/Wicked Lady from Sailor Moon   

 

 

 

Plot List

Any plots listed below are up for negotiation (switching roles/genders, changing settings, etc.) provided the changes don’t hit one of my dealbreakers. 

 

Untitled Craving: I'd love to RP something involving a tall, muscular fighter/superheroine in a relationship with a shorter, sweeter young man--the Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy trope--that are complete opposites in personality but able to be sweet and fluffy with one another after wild crazy sex. (You know, the guy being the proverbial Mr. Miracle to her Big Barda, the Ron Stoppable to her Kim Possible, the Krillin to her Android 18, or the Bolin to her Eska/Korra.) Whether the girl's more dominant in the bedroom or the guy is--if they aren't equal--is up in the air, but I could see plenty of scenes rotating between lust, taunts/teasing, shameless fluff and tsundere moments where the two bond. 

 

Untitled Craving 2: A largely harmonious and working relationship between a superhero(ine) and supervillain(ness) in which each is aware of the other's secret identity, yet still have a largely harmonious (if very odd) and working relationship. Bonus points if they are each other's personal arch-rivals, or if they were introduced to each other by their own personal nemeses. 

 

The Kidnapping: When one dates a superhero(ine), getting some quality time together can be challenging between day jobs, professional obligations and whatever super-villain comes knocking at the door. More than one romantic dinner, date or planned night of room-quaking passion has been put on hold or blocked due to the Superhero(ine) Call of Duty. It gets to the point that you see your beau on TV or in print more than you see her in person. Moreover, the workload is getting so large that (s)he's become short-tempered and even a bit sloppy. Considering his/her responsibilities, being sloppy can have serious or even tragic consequences at the wrong time. So for all of these reasons and more, taking a page from the super-villain manual, you decide to go old-school and attempt a good ol' fashioned 'kidnapping'...for her own good, of course. 

 

Turn Gentleness Into Strength: Everyone talks about how surrender can occurs at the point of a sword, or through pure force. But my character could offer a challenge to his significant other--a warrior woman, fighter or something like that--that he can do what masterful fighters, the forces of darkness or whatever cannot with his gentleness in making her surrender. He offers that challenge that he can have her surrender in passion without any sort of force. 

 

A Sweet Treat: Knowing that work has been very stressful for his wife as of late, her husband has prepared a dinner meant to make her chill and calm. Various sweet dipping sauces, syrups and frostings, whipped cream, strawberries and all that can be used. (Out of all my ideas, this one is arguably the most shamelessly smutty.) 

 

Role Reversal: A supervillain and goody-goody heroine couple ‘swapping roles’ for the evening, the latter trying [and failing] to be the icy villain while the former mouths off on the proper way to strike terror into his heart. (I know this one needs work, and I'm especially open for suggestions here.) 

 

A Glass of Chianti: These two, once friends, became professional enemies, each on the opposite side of the hero/villain coin. But one night, after one particularly heated battle, one invites the other to a momentary detente, an evening dinner. For one evening, both agree to leave their animosity--or really, the animosity of their villain/hero identities--at the door in a mutual ground, to rekindle that old spark. This leads to the spark becoming a blaze of passion, and can lead to the villain doing a Heel-Face Turn, or the hero(ine) falling and having a Face-Heel Turn. 

 

Single Superhero Seeks Good Archenemy: Not every villain is a proper nemesis for every hero. All of the great rivalries have enemies that are on equal fields somehow, or are complete opposites (Batman vs. Joker, Lex Luthor vs. Superman, Thor vs. Loki, etc.). But just like some people go on multiple blind dates to find that special someone, so too do capes and villains alike seek out services to find that perfect archenemy, someone who pushes them to their full potential while not so surpassing them that it's impossible to maintain. Sometimes, one just outgrows the other, needing a new challenge and a more compatible opponent. Be you a good-guy, a bad guy, a vigilante or in supporting role, there are various establishments meant to test compatibility in terms of philosophies, backstories, powers/abilities and even work schedules. 

 

Tribulations of Heroism and Villainy: Like all couples, this one has their occasional problems: He complains that her minions keep raiding their fridge and that she can't get mad he's late for a date due to shutting down a missile she had launched, and she's deeply annoyed that some mudslide in Bolivia has gotten in the way of their dinner--again--and promising to put a professional hit out on that new superheroine who keeps scoping out his behind. Even as they play on opposite ends of the hero/villain coin, they manage to have a strong relationship out of the costumes, leading to some very interesting conversations, as well as trying to deal with mook unions, would-be rivals and snooping reporters desperate to unmask one or both of them.
