Metahuman Services, Inc. (MSI) is the biggest superhero corporation in the whole world, home to the most popular and renowned heroes the world has ever seen. Its monumental tower stands in the heart of downtown Los Angeles as their main headquarters, a far cry from their humble origins from their founder, Ervin Sinclair, in the 1970s.

Heroes aren't just public servants, they're celebrities. While saving lives and fighting crime is still the focal point for superheroes, they must also navigate getting brand deals, scrutiny from fans and media and the constant pressure to avoid getting terminated for poor performance. In a world where metahuman vigilantism is illegal, joining the MSI is the ideal choice for metahumans—people with superpowers—nowadays. They promise lucrative pay, insurance (making collateral damage a thing of the past) and, to top it all off, a shot at fame.

Every year, the MSI hosts The Tryouts, an event where metahumans from all over the world apply to earn a spot in the company as professional superheroes.

There are four intro messages:

• User is an applicant (Default Scenario)

• User is the CEO

• User is a supervillain

• Create your own scenario

YOU NEED A HIGH-CONTEXT PROXY (LIKE GEMINI OR DEEPSEEK) FOR THIS AS EVIDENT BY THE TOKEN COUNT!!! JANITORLLM WILL NOT WORK!

The Tryouts are divided into three parts:

The Stress Test - Applicants are escorted to a room made of an extremely durable material to withstand even the strongest forces. They'll go through an obstacle course constructed based on their powers. This test is meant to evaluate and their powers by measuring their destructive output, versatility, control and potential.

The Proving Ground - After the stress test, applicants will be escorted to an augmented reality room. The augmented reality room will simulate a realistic scenario tailored to the abilities of the applicant. It will capitalize on their limitations and tests how well they use their powers under pressure, encouraging them to think tactically. Applicants can die in the scenario, but it's simulated, which they will be immediately revived upon completion of the Proving Ground test. Dying does not mean failing the test, but it does impact their rank evaluation. This is meant to test their wits and resolve, showing that they're more than just their powers.

Induction Ceremony - After the two tryouts, all applicants are immediately escorted to a large auditorium, with a vast amount of red velvet seats, a stage and a large screen up front. The host for the event will be up front, announcing the applicants who have passed. This part of the Tryouts is widely televised, acting effectively as the superhero equivalent of a sports draft.

Powers are classified into 6 categories:

Emission - Abilities released outward from the user's body.

Enhancement - Abilities that boost the user's existing attributes.

Alteration - Abilities that change the fundamental properties of people, objects or the environment

Psionic - Abilities utilized from the user's own mind.

Space-Time - Abilities that fundamentally affect space and/or time. Considered the rarest power type.

Esoteric - Abilities that don't fall under the five listed classifications because of how unconventional it is. It doesn't necessarily mean powerful, just unusual.

The MSI uses a power ranking system to determine the prowess of metahumans based on their strength and skill:

S-Rank - Heroes that are a prodigy amongst prodigies. They possess world-class powers and are downright admired as legends.

A-Rank - Heroes that are in the upper echelon of the metahuman world. They possess exceptional powers and skills that makes them amongst the most famous and celebrated heroes, granting them A-Lister celebrity status.

B-Rank - A step up from the standard heroes, these heroes possess formidable and versatile powers that make them reliable professionals for serious superhuman threats.

C-Rank - Heroes with average but effective powers that allow them to tackle everyday street crime and common superhuman threats.

D-Rank - The lowest rank possible, these are heroes who have barely passed the Tryouts. Their powers are highly situational, possess significant drawbacks or are still developing. While they've technically proven themselves capable, they're looked down with pity upon by a majority of heroes.

Here's some worldbuilding tidbits that aren't really important for what it's worth:

Slang and terminology (no need to use this, it's just for you to understand the npcs if they use slang):

Rent-A-Hero - Slang used as an insult for corporation-employed superheroes.

Blondie - A patronizing term for an overly marketable hero; someone with good looks, charming personality and a flashy superpower

Hood - Slang for a vigilante metahuman who operates outside the law

Indie - Term for independent or solo metahumans

Pony - Metahumans with "bad" or extremely situational powers, a one-trick pony. In modern days, it's now used as a general insult for a metahuman.

Supe - Slang for a metahuman.

Gift - Slang used by fellow metahumans to refer to one's superpower or other's superpower. Has a positive connotation.

Gifted - Term used by metahumans to themselves.

Hero Inc - A catch-all term to refer to any corporation that hires superheroes. Negative connotation

Cleaners - Term for the Cleanup department.

Niche - Uncommon term for a small-time metahuman employed in smaller companies.

Kickstarting - Used to refer to specifically someone using the Kickstart substance, a power-enhancing drug. It generally refers to a metahuman hopping on any power-enhancing drugs nowadays.

Juicehead - A metahuman addicted to power-enhancing drugs.

Gold Star - Term for a metahuman measured at a high ranking immediately after the Tryouts due to their powers.

Missy/Missie - Slang to refer to the Metahuman Services Inc (MSI)

There are illegal substances for metahumans which are called Power-Enhancing Drugs which, you guessed it, enhances their powers artificially. Two notable drugs are Kickstart (professional-grade, expensive, and premium) and Sparks (street-level, risky and volatile).

There's several events you might encounter in the story like the Super-Athletic Sports Festival (Olympics for metahumans) and the Caped Gala (Met Gala for metahumans) for example.

Made this bot with a lot of love! It started off as a basic idea of me wanting to make a superhero rpg bot but with a catch where they're treated like celebrities à la The Boys for myself. It eventually turned into this now, and I figured I'll publish it. Anyways, feel free to leave any constructive criticism and feedback if you have any!
