Obviously you cannot just declare yourself one. The title of "hero" comes from actions and acknowledgement of others. But what if public support for you and your allies is waning? Will a hero still be one if people turn away from him?
SRWU is a small, multi-fandom crossover DWRP inspired by and named after Super Robot Wars, a popular franchise of turn based strategy games based around giant robot combat.
About the setting In SRWU, the Earth Sphere is under attack - rampaging monsters, alien invaders, even human groups who pursue an agenda of hostile intent, all of those are threats to humanity. To combat those threats, a joint effort organisation was formed: Unity Group, controlled by no government and with relatively small internal structure. Despite initial scepticism, it quickly produced results by acting wherever an intervention was needed, whenever bad guys had to be stopped.
But with the good comes the bad, and poor actions of several affiliated members, in addition to at least one alien spy infiltrating Unity Group's ranks, caused popular support for the organisation to decrease. Will the group prevail despite rocky times that await it?
About the game In SRWU, player characters are members of Unity Group or its allies. Their canons become an integral part of the setting, and the canons' events play out during the course of the game as opposed to having finished "offscreen" (though that too is an option if the player desires).
An important part of the game are "missions", events that are played out in real time using instant messengers such as AIM. A mission represents a combat encounter between player characters and some kind of foe, the latter controlled by a mod responsible for running the mission. Missions are always scheduled well in advance.
About applications Applications are currently and always open. SRWU accepts characters from all kinds of giant robot canons, media and obscurity do not matter. Non-mecha canons can also be accepted if they fit thematically. Players are not limited to app'ing characters into existing canons - you are welcome and encouraged to apply with a totally new canon not present in the game yet, and if accepted it will become part of the setting.
Original characters are allowed.
About activity The game currently has no activity rules. This may change if it grows significantly larger and if player inactivity becomes a problem.
