Discuss The Crusaders [A SuperHero RP]

I have an idea for an RP that I'll soon be placing in the recruitment area. Basically it's a band of misfit superheroes that have come together and renewed their name to become a bunch of crime fighting saviors.

There will be different missions (much like the Legionnaires) and many different arch-enemies/villains. As the members progress through the story, many different events will take place (all of which are written ahead of time by myself) until eventually anything that happens is entirely up to the members.

I don't want to call it a [i]rip-off[/i] of The Legionnaires but I guess it is. I'll just call it a spin-off. But it's basically a replacement superhero RP for those members, like myself, whom did not get a chance to join The Legionnaires or just didn't get accepted.

What do you think? Should I go with it? Any ideas?[/size][/color]

[SIZE=1]I quite like the idea, but for it to work you might want to make sure that The Crusaders is noticeably different from The Legionnaires in style, flow, and content. Otherwise, you might not get as much interest in the RPG.

I'm sure this would arouse interest in those who weren't accepted into the Legionnaires, so similarity is important, just not overly-so. Hope that isn't to confusing. Go for originality, just make it easy relatable by the RP-ers on the boards.

A cliched story like "misfits join together because they have nowhere to go or they feel they need their powers to go to good use" will attract attention, but something like "the world is being teared apart by itself. A mad dictator is ruling the lands horridly, slaughtering people for his amusement. Young children, misguided, wreak havoc on the streets as well, before finally deciding they don't just want he streets as their own. They want it all." would raise more than a couple eyebrows.

I hope that helps some. Sorry if it doesn't. ^_^;[/SIZE]
