I've been kicking this idea around in my head for a while now, but never really thought of a good way to apply it. I finally worked out something that I think will be a unique, fun, and utterly insane RPG that'd stand out among all the others.
Screenname of the Proposed RPG’s Game Master:
Andy C.
Do You Have An Instant Messenger that we can reach you on for better conversation? (i.e MSN, Yahoo, AIM, ect.) And if so, what is your screenname?:
I'm on AIM as StopAudacity716.
Gamemasters/Assistant Gamemasters already chosen:
For now, it's just me, but I'd welcome any AGMs who'd be interested.
How will the overall layout of the RPG be?:
Like most of the Hype RPGs, it's season-based, with multiple story arcs occurring at a time. However, there will also be a D&D-style points system involved in character creation and advancing in the game.
Premise of RPG, if it is a user created RPG see below for applicable additions to this Applicaton, (Must be a paragraph or longer).
Out-of-Universe:
Similar to the Create-A-Hero RPG, with one major theme: pure, unbridled Silver Age mayhem! I'm talking time travel adventures, alien invasions, evil clones from other dimensions, the whole works. A call back to the days when good and evil were spelled out in technicolor, and fiddling around with radiation gave you superpowers instead of cancer. The more whacked-out and over-the-top, the better!
In-Universe:
It's midway through the 20th Century, and the citizens of the gleaming Millennium City bear witness to a dazzling meteor shower. However, what they don't know is that the few meteorites that impacted on Earth have more to them than meets the eye. When some are recovered by the government, it's made public that some of the meteorite specimens have caused incredible mutations to those who come into contact with them! Many of these super-humans are put to work by the United States for public service, but the true extent of the "Meteor Men's" abilities is yet to be seen...as are their loyalties in the ever-escalating Cold War...
Meanwhile, authorities all across the world are astonished at the increasing number of Unidentified Flying Objects sighted over Earth's major cities. While these sightings are usually dismissed as paranoia about Soviet satellites or more strange meteors or the like, certain circles are taking the talk much more seriously.
Elsewhere, the Space Race has led to fantastic technological advances in virtually every field of applied sciences. Inspired by Einstein and his contemporaries, more and more scientists and inventors are pushing the limits of human ingenuity. While there are some who question the possible side effects of these experiments, there are few who stand in the way of scientific ambition.
All around the world, strange and remarkable events have begun occurring. Unbeknownst to all, the most truly unbelievable events have only been set in motion. As a new day begins on the planet Earth, the sun has just begun to rise on Millennium City...
What will this RPG bring to the RPG forums? (please write two complete sentences):
This RPG will (hopefully) bring a very fun and very unique gaming experience, particularly for those who get tired of the dreary "gritty" types of games. Also, the slightly more stringent rules about gameplay will (hopefully, again) inspire players to play smart and grow more creative as to how they get through whatever insane scenarios they may find themselves in.

Very well thought up RPG Andy, and even if it doesn't get a go right away I'd still suggest archiving this one for future use, because it really is cool!
