Here we go again!. I tend to do a hero x villain rp every few months, mostly cuz I love the dynamic and miss it so heres yet another one.
A is your typical Villain, dangerous, morally grey, and oh so very attractive. He'd do just about anyhting to piss of B, the hero everyone loves and adores. A's crossed just about every line except outright murder (except that one time) to garner any attention from A, and usually, it works. Maybe not well, maybe they end up fighting again, threatening to never see each other, wishing both were dead, but yya know, that just their thing. Did I mention they're immortal? Oh yeah, this has been "their thing" for eons. And A wouldn't have it any other way. Except that maybe….they want more. Eons of fighting and hating each other can only get you so far when those feeling bloom into something more…A has always wanted more. And maybe so has B. Being loved and adored by everyone gets old fast, especially when the one person you care for the most seems to be your rival. But maybe, just maybe, this life will be their chance to put aside their facades and be something more than just beloved hero, and hated villain. Or maybe the universe has something else in mind.

As always, LGBTQ+ is always welcomed if not highly encouraged. I typically make my rps gay but am open to any and all pairings. I would like to be the villain if possible unless convincingly swayed. andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer)'s rules as always. No smut please, but go as heavy on the romance and tention as you want. Please no one or two liners, I'd like paragrapghs. If you need anything cleared up please let me know, this is a very vague plot but I do have some ideas on where the story can go. template will be up when someone joins. Have fun!

(hello! @imNOTdenki this one's all yours! @knightinadream I'd be more than happy to open another one with ya if you'd like, I don't mind at all having more than one rp of the same plot.
A template will be up after class!
And just making sure, M/M is a good for pairing? We can do something else if you'd like. Now I'm intrigued to see your villain character, I wouldn't mind being a hero.)

(perfect! Sorry about the wait, but here's my girlie!)
Name (Alias) - Calliope Winters (Eros)
Age -25
Appearance - Calliope stands 5'6 with a curvey body shape. Her skin is a deep caramel with lighter spots of vitiligo starting from her shoulders and upper back trailing down to her arms and spine. Her hair is light brown, tight coils about shoulder length, usually kept up in a half bun. Her everyday wear is anything comfortable and colorful. She loves oversized clothing, anything soft or that just let's her move freely. Unfortunately for heros, flowy comfortable clothes are impractical so she opts for a more form fitting outfit for when she's on the job. And whoever first founded the organization she works for apparently hated all things fun because hero attire is usually strictly muted colors. Bummer for her.
Personality - a ball of fire would be the best way to describe her. Calliope is as out going as people can get, loving to be with her community of friends, always being the one to spontaneously jump at any chance to hang out with family or friends. She loves closeness and being with people she cares about. It's why being a hero came so naturally for her. There is a downside to being so attached though, especially as an immortal. Those connections rarely last as long as she hopes. That constant gain and loss is probably why she's so outgoing, wanting to make the best out of her situation and meeting as many people as she can before they're gone, the hope being she made a good impact on them as they had for her.
Backstory - Calliope was born in Greece near the 17th century or soto an astronomer and stage performer. Perhaps bless or cursed by the gods themselves, her and her family were chosen to live immortal lives and ever since then, they've been traveling the world, picking up odd jobs here and there to sustain they're hectic lives and to satiate the inevitable boredom that comes with not dying. It wasn't until the 1900s that calliope began her little vigilante hobby, happening upon the beginnings of the agency of heros and really never leaving. Now she's one of the elite heros, praiseed for her wisdom and kindness.
Likes - dancing and music has always been a passion of hers, having been a performer herself after her mother retired and absolutely loving the freedom it gave to express herself. She has a big sweetooth as well so sweets are always scattered around her home
Dislikes - the loneliness that comes with immortal life, death but more because she can never die herself.
Songs - waterfall - fish in a birdcage
Abilities - she's an archer, hence her Alias and often times uses a bow as her chosen weapon when needed.

Name(Alias): Akira Kaido (chillstrike)
Age: 24
Appearance: He has deathly pale white skin, and icy blue eyes that pierce into your soul. He has straight, long black hair that stops just below his shoulders. He stands at around 6'2 feet and he weighs around 135 lbs. He's very lanky but still has the strength to him. He often has a scowl on his face when speaking to people.
Personality: Hes extremely anti-social with anyone he comes across, he hates small talk, he's very cold-shouldered against people and his trust issues are at a level severe. He is a very private person and often acts rude to people so that he can be alone and hurt someone before you can get hurt yourself mentality. once you get past all his trust issues though, he will do literally anything possible or impossible for you. He will put himself in front of you, as he doesn't have anyone else in the world. Hes pretty awkward when it comes to people actually genuinely liking him.
Backstory: He grew up generally not having much feeling or emotion, which caused his parents to be constantly worried, or clashing with him. He hated it, and often yelled at them, or hated them for the way they treated him. Well one day, he came home from school to find his parents corpses and someone running from the scene. he never got to tell them how sorry he was for fighting with them, or how much he did care about them… Well he immediately got cold to the world after he lost his parents, having to get jobs to support himself living in a house by himself and still going to school. He eventually dropped out, and just pursued working in a bunch of jobs for rent, and then he started saving people with his powers but not because he wanted to be a hero…because he hated people who were horrible people getting away with the crimes they committed. so he started revealing their bad stuff to the public, or hurting them severely and turning them into the police. he even killed some people, but it was justified because they were horrible people and attacked him first. other kills hes done people still dont know who it was….
Likes: the cold, cats, being alone, reading.
Dislikes: Being in a room surronded by people, heat, people who brag about themselves, rich people.
Songs: uhhh it took me by surprise (Dont rememeber who its by)
Other: nope

(I love Akira, and yes that song is so good! Marina Mena I think is the artist. can't wait to see him with Calliope! Here's a starter)
"I'm heading out, finally!" Calliope called to her surrounding coworkers, standing from her desk and stretching her arms over her head. It had been a long day at work, even after her usual saving-the-day routine. Meeting after meeting, changes in schedules every hour or so, a few appearances at events here and there, and all Calliope wanted to do after was lie down and sleep for millennia. Who would dare stop her? Well, for one, herself. She wouldn't abandon the people she had promised to protect. The guilt and anxiety alone would eat her alive. And two, this was the most entertainment she had had in lives. It kept her moving and engaged in a world where anything and everything felt familiar. She smiled softly to herself as she gathered her notes and computer, shoving everything into her bag and pulling it on her shoulder. She waved to her fellow heroes who were also working their desk shift before going home. She gave a little salute to the heroes returning from their latest capture, the door just in sight! Now if she could just get out of the agency without- "Cal! there you are! I was just looking for you, don't go anywhere."
Calliope groaned and slowly turned, looking desperate as she found a small woman jogging to catch up to her. Madam Jess Heartfield. The agency's head supervisor and Calliope's oldest friend. Of course, Calliope would never be discouraged to see her friend but home was so close, just in her grasp! Why did something need to come right when she was leaving? Calliope gave a halfhearted smile and offered her arm to Jess, to which the older woman took and began tugging her towards the office. "You always manage to find me at the best and worst times, don't you?" Calliope asked, shutting the door with her hip and flopping into the chair across from the desk.
Jess shrugged and slid a file towards Calliope. "I always will. but I think you'll want to stay a little longer for this."
Calliope's brows knit together and straightened in her chair, the tone of seriousness in Jess's voice causing all sorts of alarms to go off in her head. She took the file and slowly read through it. "So he's back." She said softly, trying to conceal the relief in her voice. She mouthed the words as she read over the file, nodding slightly as she recognized all the descriptions. Yep, this was him. Akira Kaido. Her longest…enemy? Calliope had always hated calling anyone that, but particularly him. If they were going to live for eternity and know each other, she didn't think calling him an enemy would be the smartest idea. But she couldn't necessarily agree with all his choices either and some of the choices he made put him at odds with her and the agency. Choices she was forced to fix one way or another, no matter how much she wished things could change between them.
"Whats he got himself into this time?" She asked, abandoning any and all hope of going home on time.

In the file would probably be some cases where abusers had turned up frozen solid, or people where beat up mercilessly only to be found to have a horrible track record doing illegal trading. Though one thing that stood out ..was a larceny alert at… The address of Calliope's own address.
He seemed to be stepping back out of the shadows yet again, like he does every couple decades or so. Just when calliope would think she had a break in life..he would show up again and remind her that she would never truly be able to relax. Maybe he just wanted her attention…or maybe something else.
Nothing was stolen that they know of…but a note was left in her room. It had a message on it.
'meet me at the place we first fought, at midnight.'

"nothing out of the ordinary for him fortunately. If I'm being completely honest he's making our job easier." Jess muttered softly to which Calliope gave a ghost of a smile. Easier sure but humane? Perhaps not. Calliope didn't pretend to be an angel, it was tiring sometimes seeing these terrible people get away with the same crime again and again. While she didn't necessarily agree with Akira's methods, it was indulgently satisfying seeing justice served that seemed to actually work instead a slap on the hand.
She flipped through file, reading over the recent crime reports, pausing as she got to the most recent one. Reported around 1:00pm that day, a break-in in her flat right after she would have finished her latest mission. She cursed softly and shoved the file into her bag. "I gotta go, Jess! A certain someome got it into his thick head thathe can go through my stuff." She stood and made her way to the door as fast as she could to catch the next bus.
The moment she got into her apartment she did a sweep of the room, to see what, if anything, was missing. When nothing seemed out of place, Cal went into the bedroom, cursing again when she saw the window open. Of course he had gone in through the window. She picked up the clothes she had thrown across her bed in her hurry that morning and tossed them in the closet, embarrassed that someone, Akira of all people saw that. She stood in the middle of the room looking for anything that might have been missing but only found a note on her bedside table. She arched an eyebrow, and slowly read through it. "Its always at midnight, huh?" She muttered, tapping the note against her lip in thought. Was this a good idea? Did she trust Akiria not to set her up in some trap? Her immediate answer was no, but there was something in the back of her mind telling her this was different.
Calliope set the note aside for now and decided to change and enjoy the rest of her evening before meeting with Akira, needing to clear her head a rest from her long day.
