Hello, my name is Victoria Dallon. Antares when flying around trying to solve more problem than I might cause.

I've noticed that there is a relatively high population of capes around, or "superheroes" if you want to make extra sure your allegiances are clear. Supervillains too, I would assume? Whatever, I don't think anyone's that stupid to be trying to make something of villainous takeover.

[ youknowwhoyouare ]

At any rate, I've noticed that this place isn't really high on crime, and that every now and then we're going to be tested in one way or another. For that reason, I was wondering if people would be interested in making something of a support/tutelage group for capes? I was in something along those lines back home, and it helped me a great deal. We're lacking an actual cape therapist here, but I think we could still arrange drills and excersises to keep our powers and dynamics honed. And a space to talk about freely, too, because sometimes you just need someone that can listen and undertand, right?

I'm particularly interested in those that are either underage or whereabouts, since the older ones are most likely more experienced and don't really need this kind of thing as much.

So yeah, let me know if you would be interested in doing something of a little meet and greet to see if there's enough interest to get a group going.

If anything it will help us more active types to not go totally insane, I'd think.

I think the technical term is 'vigilante'.

Why 'Antares'?

[etiological]

A vigilante is an independent cape that might be trying to do good but hasn't been legally recognized. A cape is just someone with powers. That's the terminology we use back home at least.

To properly explain it I would need to type so much it would make me look a bit pretentious.

[ichoosefight]

so you meant only people with powers? your terminology is a little misleading if not all of them wear actual capes

I asked because I'm curious, you don't have to explain if you don't want to.

[This place is still foreign and awkward and he doesn't like it for even a moment. Doesn't like being confused or out of his element or not in total control. Hates every moment of it!

But this stuck out when he was experimenting with the earpiece and the network so he decided to reply. If there are heroes here, then it means there's at least one familiar thing.]

I'd come.

[etiological]

Cool!

I want to see how much interest this gets, but we don't really need that many people to get something going.

I take it your username is about your power, if you have one?

[nitropowered]

Yeah. Name's Bakugo Katsuki, 16 years old. My quirk is Explosion. The sweat I form on my palms is like nitroglycerin and I can ignite it.

My world does not have "capes" or "superheroes", but I assume if you train, there may be injuries.

In such a case, you may call on me for healing if you wish.

[etiological]

[ Ah, healers.

At least he can't her tense up. ]

That would be useful.

What kind of healing you provide? I've seen a few different types.

[prevail]

If the injury is not grievous, I can mend it instantly. It only requires use of energy, of which I have a great deal, so there is no significant "cost" to me, if that concerns you.

[ how does he respond to this? there's no way he could say much without outing himself. there may not be much point in having a superman anymore. it was just a dream. his father's dream.

where do his dreams go? when he doesn't wake up in a sweet, remembering the green glow reflected off batman's suit?

and yet. his fingers poised, all clark says. ]

I'll help.

[etiological]

I take it you mean you're one of the experienced ones then?

Any help is appreciated, specially if this actually takes off. Keep people with powers active and safe can be a handful.

[anewhope]

I wouldn't say that. But I can help.

[ I can. I hope. I'll try. ]

You seem particularly interested in limiting this group to caped individuals with powers.

[ Although he does realize that without the vast majority of his tech here, he is at a distinct disadvantage against any metahuman hero or villain. ]

[etiological]

It's where my area of expertise resides, sot to speak.

I am noticing that there's non-powered folk taking issue to it, so I'm partial to having my mind changed.

[pangzi]

I take it the heroes of your world are solely metahumans, then? People with powers?

There is a place here that we may use, if you are looking for a space for drills and exercises to hone and develop particular powers and team dynamics.

I'd like to preface, however, that is not for superheroes, supervillains, or vigilantes. Just a place to learn how we can use our powers capably.

[etiological]

Sounds good. I don't have plans to train heroes or whatever, just get people here to find ways to make things work. Be ready for whatever comes our way.

We might have some people without powers too, but I want to make sure they're up to the task first.

Step one: you don't.
Step two: you continue to not.

a cape therapist?

( god, that'd be awful, absolutely fucking no thank you. )

and kid, dynamics are still important for teams of any age. unfortunately we didn't get to choose who we arrived here with, so the 'working well together' part of stuff is only true for a small minority.

[etiological]

Unfortunately I doubt there's anyone with the credentials to do it.

You're right, but there's nothing stopping us from making new dynamics, or at least keep practising to be ready whenever something else happens.

As someone else herein has already pointed out, this idea of yours does seem rather exclusionary to those who don't fit the "cape" mold.

Careful, or you might drive some of us into becoming supervillains from the rejection.

[etiological]

Unpowered people are free to come and hone their skills as well.

It would feel wrong to edit the post now.
