MxF Dispatch - After Shroud

[ThundahMoose]

Looking for someone to jump into Dispatch RP with me. This is set after Robert and the Z Team take down Shroud, when the dust has settled just enough for Dispatch to realize nothing is actually fixed, it’s just different now. Old systems are cracked, new ones are being forced into place, and the world is full of gaps where stories can grow.

Dispatch is a story driven superhero setting that’s less about throwing punches and more about dealing with the consequences of people who can throw punches through buildings.

You play in a world where superheroes are real, common, and deeply inconvenient. The focus isn’t on being the strongest hero in the room, but on managing the chaos they leave behind. The core perspective is from inside the Superhero Dispatch Network, basically a 911 call center for super powered disasters. When something goes wrong in the city, someone has to answer the phone, figure out who is available, who won’t make things worse, and who is emotionally stable enough to be trusted today.

This version of Dispatch is a mix of custom dispatchers, ex villains trying to stay clean or at least useful, new heroes who missed the old era entirely, and second string teams like the Z Team being quietly relied on more than anyone wants to admit. It’s a rebuilding phase. Public trust is shaky. Corporate pressure is worse. The phones still never stop ringing.

Dispatch as a story isn’t about perfect heroes saving the day. It’s about a machine held together by exhausted operators, questionable hiring decisions, and people with powers who are very human underneath. Calls come in messy. Solutions are imperfect. Victories are often quiet and half invisible. Sometimes the biggest win is keeping collateral low or making sure someone makes it home at all.

That makes it a great sandbox for roleplay. There’s room for banter in the bullpen, tense missions that don’t go as planned, downtime chaos, office nonsense, and the occasional moment where things get real and heavy. Your character could be a brand new hero, someone tied to the Z Team, an ex villain working under supervision, or even someone adjacent to Dispatch trying to survive the system.

A bit about my writing so you know what you’re getting into:

Lucian Valmont is the kind of hero who looks like he absolutely did not plan on being one today. Black peacoat buttoned against the cold, shoulder length brown hair falling into his face while he stares up at a terrified cat wedged way too high in a tree. He controls gravity. He can bend it, twist it, shut it off entirely. He has stopped collapsing buildings and pinned villains to the pavement like it was nothing.

And yet here he is.

He sighs, rubs his eyes, and mutters something about how this is not what he signed up for before flicking two fingers upward. The air shifts. Gravity loosens its grip just enough for the cat to float down in a slow, awkward spiral, landing in his arms like it meant to be there all along. Lucian barely reacts, already looking around to see if anyone noticed.

He hands the cat back, gives a stiff nod, and walks away pretending this was never heroic. But the truth is he will always stop. Even when it is inconvenient. Especially then.

I tend to write character driven scenes with a mix of humor, tension, and quieter moments. I like letting conversations breathe and letting characters bounce off each other naturally instead of rushing plot beats. I’m flexible on tone and happy to build something together rather than locking everything down upfront.

If this version of Dispatch sounds like your kind of story and you want to throw a custom character into the mix, feel free to reply or message me with your ideas. Let’s build something messy, funny, and human together.
