I agree with everyone here.. I've seen plenty of non medeival themed RP. Not to give the girl too many shoutouts, but Sibling is one of the better examples of hero rp I've come across.
Personally I've got 2 heroes I rp that I'm proud of: Augustine and Royal Falcon.
Augustine is a mutant who used to work for the vatican (to repent for a past sin) and wound up working with Iron Justice (supergroup). Very religious, a wondering monk of sorts
Royal Falcon is a newer, younger hero. Rich boy gone vigilante simply out of desire and financial ability. He's got a penchant for the ladies and that biting hero sense of humor we all have come to know and love.
That's pretty brief summaries, but an example none the less... I still rp on a mud with a medeival setting and WE don't use butchered shakespearian english, so I can't imagine why (unless for humor's sake) anyone would use it here without good reason.
