Superhero RP Interest Check/Planning

Long story short, the idea of a superhero Lorwolf RP has been bothering me today and I need to act on it. Or at least get my ideas for it down, and see if anybody here would like to participate!

The basic premise is that it'd be a noncanon (to greater Lorwolf lore) RP where each RPer's chosen wolf (or wolves) are superheroes (or anti-heroes, or vigilantes of some sort) in some sort of superhero group, and they go on missions to try and save the world (from what I don't know), all while following the advice of their mysterious behind-the-scenes leader, simply called the Northern Star...

These missions, of course, would have gift rewards (sometimes, mostly for difficult ones), and some would be to further the story while others are sidequests that mostly will be randomly generated. Each mission/quest has a specific talent or talents (decided based on what talents the players choose, to prevent things from needing something that they don't have) needed to make sure the mission is completed easily and in the minimum amount of time. However, if you leave certain missions for later, you won't get off consequence-free (unless you can convince me otherwise, I will try to be fair), as they will become progressively worse.

You may've noticed that I specified 'gift' rewards there, and that's because there'll be two types of rewards- In-RP, which means that you as the player don't get anything, and Gift, in which you do get something! Sometimes apparel, sometimes resources, sometimes other stuff.

This actually relies on a 'day' system- once all players are on missions or choose to do nothing and they've done all the RPing they want to, a new day happens- and they can vote to skip to the next day early, where 75% of all people (if possible) have to agree to doing so- and people can provide a reason as to why we shouldn't skip. Some missions take multiple days, and the faster your wolf can complete them the better.

Maybe there'll even be a stamina system like normal Lorwolf, or stuff like damage accumulates over time.

It's basically D&D. Lorwolf D&D. Or, more like a Lorwolf TTRPG?

If you'd like to participate in this, say something, please! Need to know if others like this or if it's just me.

Would the setting still be Loria proper? Just with new abilities?

@spoot

Yeah! I'm thinking of having one of the major enemies of the RP (at least for the first part) being the Consumed...

And I did come up with some more stuff. I'll share it in a couple hours.

Okay, MORE STUFF.

Random tidbit I couldn't fit in anywhere else: I'm thinking of the superhero group being called the Paw of Order (Order being one of the gods/creators/whatever that helped create Loria, which fits for a group standing against Chaos, and paw as in hand but for wolves)- what do you guys think?

More On The Mission System:
You can take missions via one of the posts I'll have set up for the RP- a Mission Board with some fancy art for it- each mission has a headshot of the wolf who's requesting help (from a NPC pool which everybody can contribute to), a couple sentences describing what's going on, and a small statement from the Northern Star that hints at some Game Stuff. Also a suggested level box in the corner.
There are three types: Story, Side, and Special.
Story progresses the main story, but they usually will take a while to complete and be hard- IF you're just going from story quest to story quest. If you do side quests they're easier.
Speaking of side quests, they're randomly-generated (usually) quests that'll help you gear up for the next story quest! They're usually easier to complete.
And special quests are, well, special- usually quests to recruit new heroes (or, rather, include new players if they miss joining), or holiday-themed ones- even Seasonal-specific ones! Recruit special quests, however, will lock you into that quest the MOMENT everybody has finished their own quests (and you can't go on any more once one appears, even while waiting)- we don't want to keep people waiting too long lol

Character Form Ideas:
An image of your wolf, followed by their normal & superhero names (if possible), species (you can do fanmade species, instead of just the Lorwolf ones, too! The Northern Star themself is a Starkin, one of the two fanmade species I've made!), pronouns, appearance in normal & superhero modes, powers, special skills, items they carry at the beginning, role on the team, basic info on their superhero/civilian double life, etc!
I'm debating on whether I should limit it to just one or two characters per person, though.

HQ and Beginning Ideas
So, at the beginning I'm thinking that a few of the heroes head to the HQ we'll set up (it starts with just the meeting room, but people can make requests to add stuff. im worried about what youll do), talk to the Northern Star, and get their first official mission- a Story one, of course. And said mission is to go out and get the other players' wolves!
The joining period (or the period where some of the players go out and find the other players) will last an IRL week as the Northern Star manages the bustle of the new heroes and everything settles down. Once it finishes, anybody else who wants to join'll have to go through the recruit missions first.
The HQ itself is meant to be the main hub of RP, and people can do pretty much whatever they want- as long as it follows the rules and TOS- in there. Want to have two characters argue over the placement of a couch and spend half their time moving it between wherever the two want to put it? Sure, go ahead! Want to lock everybody else inside for some good ol' team bonding? CAUSE ALL THE CHAOS YOU WANT, FRIEND! Want to hack into the communication system?... Well, just give me advance warning so I can draw up some dialogue portraits for your-wolf-in-the-comms. They're getting the full Northern Star treatment.

The Posts:
The way I'm thinking of doing this, there'll be three consistently-updated posts: the first one is the introduction to the RP and the News. It basically tells you whatever's been going on for the last in-RP day, plus some extra stuff!
The second is the Mission Board (see the Missions section of this).
And the third is the Character Files: basically a place where all of our heroes' join forms are linked, so you can easily find them, as well as the un-filled-out join form.
And, of course, all of these posts get a LOT of art to accompany them.
i like art if you couldn't tell.
