OOC ((At the moment I'm reluctant to accept new players though))
Megalopolis, the jewel of the world. It's a place where you can walk the streets and you're almost certain to see people with super powers. That just how many super humans live there. Don't fret if you don't have super powers though. In today's day and age, almost anyone can parade around the streets in their underwear and call themselves a super hero, because discriminating against people without super powers would be racist, and racism is wrong.
Still, a place like Megalopolis doesn't run just on the super hero industry, though they do get a lot of tourism that way. A lot of the power challenged individuals of the city have regular jobs, such as police officers, bank tellers, street performers, business men and women, and even the lowly pizza delivery boy.
It is a shining community, filled with wonderful people. Of course not everyone can be wonderful though, and super heroes wouldn't have a job if it weren't for the super villains who try to make a fast buck off of the working man or woman. Watch out for the super villains. Some of them are relatively harmless, but you never know when you might run into a villain who is really bad news.
Oh, speaking about super villains!

Captain Awful took a long breath as he walked into the bank, the supersoaker loaded with the new ultra sticky fluid in hand. He looked around for a moment and then felt his body droop. There was such a long line to get up to the tellers. Why was there always such a long line at these banks. He took a long breath to calm his nerves and looked around. Maybe there was someone else that he could talk to so he could get this whole thing moving along a little bit faster. Butting in line would just make everyone angry and then they'd start waving their arms around and causing a commotion and he really didn't need that today. The last thing he needed was some super hero with super hearing, like the Great Ear showing up and busting down the door and beating his face in because the screaming of the people in the bank had interrupted his classical music.
He bit his bottom lip as he tried to think about how to do this. Really, if he did it quickly enough he might get out of here before he got in any trouble. He took a long breath and then started pumping the water gun that was currently loaded with anything but water. Alright. This was going to work. He'd shoot one or two people with the the sticky stuff, leave them stuck to the counter or the floor like that guy in that one comic...what was his name? The human spider? Arachno-Man? Something silly. He didn't really need to be thinking about things like that though.
He brought up the supersoaker and, aiming it at the feet of the man in front of him and then fired. The substance shot out and when it made contact with the man's shoes and the floor made a quick seal between the two, stopping him from moving. Captain Awful then jumped out of line, bringing the water gun up so that everyone could see it, pulling out his traditional burlap bag with the over-sized dollar sign printed on the side in black. He smiled softly. This was his moment. His moment to shine.
"Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen." He looked around for a moment, making sure that he had everyone's attention, "As you probably know. My name is Captain Awful, and I am here to make a withdrawal." He was glad now that he had practiced this in front of his mirror this morning. He was sure that it was really paying off, "So, if you would be so kind as to cooperate. I need to impose a little bit on you and butt to the front of the line. I have to speak with the teller. I'm sure you all understand." He smiled softly at that. This would be perfect. He couldn't imagine this going wrong in any way.
