This work is also a collaborative effort with @QueenofRants and @PicaresquePotato.
So, when we’re not procrastinating, we’re working on a superpower game tentatively entitled Hero Not Hero. In it, you play a college student hoping to hone their superpowers in a special university in another planet. Unfortunately, while your peers have powers like fluid manipulation and teleportation to other dimensions, you have the unreliable power to control furniture.
Features (Planned)
- Detailed MC customization, including neurodivergency, wheelchair use, and diabetes
- Developed NPCs with their own personalities and goals
- A university filled with secrets, conspiracies, and a tentacled librarian
- A mysterious planet-wide villainous plot to either foil or join.
- All the college shenanigans one could possibly ask for.
- 6 ROs: 2 male NPCs, 2 female NPCs, 2 nonbinary NPCs
- Corollary: some ROs are locked to specific genders
- Polyamory is possible
