History Roleplay / TheWorldForgedByPowers

* {{Telepathy}}: while most considered a range of abilities that traditional MindReading is kept with the condition that it can only read active thoughts.

* MakeMeWannaShout: Sonokinesis allows one to create sounds in mid-air by vibrating it.

* PsychicPowers: Namely Telepathic and Psychokinetic ones. Possibly the biggest departure from the hard end of [[MohsScaleOfScifiHardness the scale]]. Partly explained by a special organ in the brain while the rest is "explained" by people having no idea how it actually works.

The World Forged By Powers is a BottomlessSandbox style [[PlayByPostGames Play By Post Game]] that explores what the world would be like if super powers were real and followed some of the more basic laws of physics as closely as possible. It was created to tear down traditional HollywoodScience and come up with new explanations for the most common powers. No, not [[MostCommonSuperPower that one]]. Therefore, it generally ends up rather hard on the MohsScaleOfScienceFictionHardness. This does not stop the players from doing all sorts of crazy stuff, though.

* MohsScaleOfSciFiHardness: Fairly hard while still attempting to keep a variety of powers. Much harder than most super powers works.

The game roughly follows the current date in RealLife, through the use of ComicBookTime, but throughout history, people with superpowers have changed the way the world developed. Currently there are significant differences with RealLife. In general, the most successful company on the planet is [[MegaCorp HardeWare Systems]], created and powered by the biggest genius on the planet [[DitzyGenius HardeWare]] and led by [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Peter Vanderheijden]]. This company was responsible for the creation of the intercontinental PortalNetwork that spans Earth (and also the moon). In addition to this they also sell robotics and weaponry to both the military and civilians. Mostly know for their chain of [=HardeWare Stores=] where supernormals can buy dietary supplements, powered armour and all sorts of other gadgets and weapons.

“I’m afraid he’s busy stopping a prison break right now, can I take a message?”
->“Tell him a new alien species just came to earth and ask him what he wants me to do about it.”

%%* StockSuperpowers: As many as could be made to fit mostly realistic physics.

In essence, however, the planet is controlled by an entity known only as [[MagnificentBastard 'Shift']], while a race of [[{{AI}} sentient robots]] called 'the Collective' keeps humanity safe from {{Alien Invasion}}s.

* TeleportersAndTransporters: The take apart and put together type are right out in this world. However the Portal type is everywhere. There's even [[PortalNetwork a global airport style permanently open portal system]]. The PK ability for making portals is [=AEtherkinesis=].

* Hologram: Usually comes in two flavours. A room with emmiters all along the walls and ceiling to make free floating holograms such as you see in the IronMan Movies. Or a holographic sheath in which their is a central object which can do so to disguise it's appearance or become invisible.

%%* FrickinLaserBeams: Both technological and organic.

* LightEmUp: Photokinesis allows one to hoard light to create [[CastingAShadow darkness]] or to concentrate it into a [[FrickinLaserBeams laser]] Or to become [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Invisibility invisible]] or even create [[MasterOfIllusion mirages]].

* ArtificialLimbs: A common staple of the technology of this world.

* BlobMonster: Freemorphs generally fall under this when they're not specifically copying something.

* BoringButPractical: a lot of the secondary powers are this.

* DeadpanSnarker: Cache, Peter and several other characters.

* DemBones: The incredibly rare SciFi example. Osteokinesis is the psychokinetic control over calcium-hydroxylapatite. Incidentally this means it doubles as BadWithTheBone.

* {{Expy}}: It isn't allowed to take copyrighted material, but that doesn't mean players don't model their characters off of other ones.

* {{Fiction500}}: Once again, [[MegaCorp HardeWare Systems]]
* FrickinLaserBeams: Both technological and organic.

* ImmuneToBullets: [[SubvertedTrope Bullets hurt!]] [[DoubleSubversion Unless you're wearing power armour or have energy shielding, of course.]]

* IntelligentGerbil: Most of the aliens in the galaxy are based on earth animals.

* InvisibilityCloak: Like a Chameleon but way better. Also used in body suits and as a coating on armour at times.

* KineticWeaponsAreJustBetter:

* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Bound to come up in nearly any setting with super powers.

* PoisonousPerson: a variety of such powers exist including acid.

* PragmaticVillainy: Again very prevalent in this RP.

* {{Reconstruction}}: Equal parts this and {{Deconstruction}} of superhero tropes in general.

* TheSocialDarwinist: Most Raptillians are this.

* StockSuperpowers: As many as could be made to fit mostly realistic physics.

* TheMetricSystemIsHereToStay: PlayedWith. While the creator is a huge fan of the metric system, and much of the RP takes place in London, Americans do still use AmericanCustomaryMeasurements.

* {{Immortality}}: Type III is available in the form of vampirism, lycanthropy and higher level regenerators of other sorts. Of course even regeneration is not total proof against death but you can live a long time this way.
