[invictushq]

#INVICTUS ♾️

is a semi-appless, ttrpg-infused, literate, skeleton/oc semi-appless roleplay, where superstar and superhero cross paths. drawing inspiration from tiger & bunny, my hero academia, watchmen, dispatch, et al., INVICTUS explores the intersectionality of celebrity fascination, idol culture, and the blurred boundaries between privacy and publicity in the lives of superpowered protagonists. due to mature themes and content, muns must be 23⁺, and muses 25⁺. viewer discretion is advised.

THE CROWNBEARER.

THE CROWNBEARER.

your hand in mine, guided.

SOMA’s General Counsel has weathered every rise and fall of the Naik siblings. Secretive, shrewd, and always a step ahead, they’re rumored to consider tutoring THE UNFAVORITE or THE HEDONIST to take up the mantle of CEO — whoever proves willing to bend to their exacting vision.

THE UNFAVORITE.

THE UNFAVORITE.

your hand in mine, indifferent.

They’re not sure what they did wrong, but one day they were ousted from under their father’s wing for another. Perhaps they didn’t respond to the dismissal maturely, but once his side project, THE HEIR APPARENT, bursts into flames, pop will remember the faithful who has been by his side since the very start.

father. at what point did he stop seeing you as his first-born? the heir apparent?    the story of cain and abel lie in your shadows. the crownbearer.   maybe father's warnings about them weren't to protect you. the board. you'll promise them anything — just to finally win.

i'm confused. where does most of the roleplay take place? tumblr or discord? how does the tumblr part work? just using it as the character's tumblr account in-universe?

hello, anon! our game is considered a hybrid roleplay, in that we use the following platforms:

dashboard: for literate, paragraph threads, where the majority of the game takes place! feel free to take a look through our blogroll.

community: for in-character, "social media" posts like bluesky, to share your muse's status or maybe commentary on recent events. feel free to check out our public community here.

discord: for our tabletop roleplaying game experience (i.e. dice rolls), group para writing that would be difficult to implement on tumblr dashboard, as well as interacting with each other ooc. here is a preview of our server!

hope this helps, but if you have any more questions, feel free to reach out!

[invictushq]

hi sorry if i missed them but were the soma skeletons posted yet?

hello, anon, thank you for your interest! we paused our skeleton posting schedule to focus on our most recent subplot drop but we will recommence starting tomorrow!

[invictushq]

so do all characters have some sort of power?

hi, anon, thank you for your interest! and yes, all player characters must be superpowered!

however, not all muses must be part of the professional hero industry and may be either be freelancers in b.y.o.h., volunteers at n.e.s.t., or civilians. please note that we only allow 1 civilian muse per mun.

[invictushq]

We allow a +5/-5 age range for faceclaims. Gif resources may be used outside this rule, but please exercise thoughtful judgment.

could the admins explain what this means?

hello, anon, and sure thing! essentially, players may adjust a faceclaim's age ±5 years (age up/down) when deciding their muse's age. this rule, however, only applies to the character's age and not gif resources used in-game.

for example, a player could write a muse who is 38 even if the fc is 33, and may use gifs from projects released before 2020.

we simply ask that players use gifs mindfully, e.g., please don't portray a muse in their late 50s while relying exclusively on gifs of the fc from their early 20s. additionally, please note that our game does not allow fcs under the real age of 25, even if the muse is 25+.

i hope this helps but if you have any additional questions please feel free to reach out! 🫶

[invictushq]

Would anyone be interested in seeing Steven Yeun?

hello, anon! thank you for your inquiry, and in case you weren't aware:

a few years ago, controversy arose around beef (2023)'s first season when a segment of a 2014 podcast resurfaced where steven yeun's co-star and close friend, david choe, told an anecdote where the punchline was sexual assault.

many, ourselves included, felt that 1) steven yeun, as one of the producers on beef, mishandled the situation with how long it took to release a joint-statement with the other producers; and 2) the statement did not properly address the issue with choe's initial casting and involvement in the show, as choe's previous statements were known and criticized in 2014 and in 2017.

according to choe on the joe rogan experience [video link], steven yeun, along with ali wong, personally called him to convince him to be on the show, and choe created art used as splash images in season 1.

we believe in acknowledging growth and understand that steven yeun apologized and has not publicly associated with choe as far as we know, and that beef has since replaced the cast and choe has not done any additional work or involvement with the show.

for now, we would prefer alternative faceclaims. we hope that doesn't deter your interest in our game, and we will be including alternate fcs under the cut!

THE EX-PRODIGY.

your hand in mine, fidgeting.

A precocious wunderkind of the ‘90s, famed for soulful vocals and dazzling piano at just seven, they lit up every stage and screen until one mishap on air silenced their rise. Now, burned out and branded a “former child star,” they’re out to prove they’re more than a cautionary tale.

THE HOUSEHOLD NAME.

your hand in mine, celebrated,

A veteran among the ranks, they were part of Kardinal before the rebrand and the rise of the permuted idol boom. As a former star under Waypoint, they’ve done everything in their power to ensure Kardinal’s success. David’s made it cozy for them, and they’d like to be one of the few stars that gracefully retire into the night.

THE COMEBACK KID.

your hand in mine, reawakened,

Their Astronomical Boys & Girls group collapsed after the debut and follow-up albums flopped. Kardinal saved and rebranded them as a solo pop-rock act, and thankfully a RealHero TV signal-boosted EP finally brought commercial success. As one of Kardinal Supers’ few solo survivors, they carry a chip on their shoulder watching EQUINOX and AxiaL endure where others fell apart.

power recommendations: natural weaponry, natural defenses, shield protrusion, gunpowder manipulation, rupture inducement, scattering, energy amplification

& our flesh to flesh, unwavering.

equinox. the unattainable blueprint that shattered your group. the choreographer. they haven't realized their intel is ammo. the household name.   their proximity to magarian reeks of collusion. astronomical boys & girls. is another attempt career suicide?

{ diego calva. non-binary, they/them. } hey, did you see the video of [ stitch ] [mending someone’s broken arm at the site of an accident]? apparently their real name is [ dariel “riel” mejia ] and they’re [signed with SOMA enterprises]. people in the comments are calling them [the judas], and saying their permutation is probably [healing touch] — that would mean they scored an [ a ] on the f.b.a.i. assessment rank, right? i mean, i guess it sort of looks like them, if you squint. i'm not sure though, the person on the video doesn’t look like a [thirty-three] year old who would list [neatly folded clothes organized by color, steady hands in an unsteady world, coming home to silence and calling it fine, a lighter clicked open and closed out of habit, stuffed animals that aren’t theirs kept on a shelf] as their interests on alterego. what? don't look at me like that — i got curious! besides, if that even is them in the video, it’s probably a pr thing for realhero tv.

THE GHOSTWRITER.

your hand in mine, obscured,

Fans and critics alike have attributed AxiaL’s success to the expressive and poignant lyricism displayed in their songs, which would be impressive — if they actually wrote their own songs. It's just the nature of show biz, but how can the original songwriter be wrong for wishing for their own 15 minutes of fame?

& our flesh to flesh, unsung.

axial.       the secret sixth member of an iconic girl group. the chanteuse.    your lyrics dazzle, but with their voice only. the household name.   never meet your heroes. astronomical boys & girls. rumor has it — this is your last chance to shine.

THE CHOREOGRAPHER.

your hand in mine, tugged,

Cool as ice, this dance guru dodges boyband drama, at least until THE SMOOTH TALKER drags them back afterhours for “extra practice.” Staying out of the mess is a full‑time job, and somehow, they’re always on double-shift.
