Myself, MaiMizzu, and WardenIce are rebooting the Marvel Apocalypse game that Had a good run, but thanks to RL spreading the GMs thin, had an unfortunate closure. For now we are seeking to use generally the same premise.

Apocalypse has been watching and waiting for the time to strike. Recruiting and enhancing a new set of horseman ,and a planetary sized invasion force, he finally attacked. Xavier's institute and Avengers mansion were hit the hardest. In fact one of the globally broadcast thing people only really got to see before soon after falling under attack, was what appeared to be Iron Man blowing up in the sky above New York.

confirmed as dead: Scott Summers, Frank Castle, , Nick Fury, Moon Knight, Reed Richards, Charles Xavier, Vision, Groot [possibly more to come, based on interest]
believed to be dead [not confirmed(and by comic logic, prolly alive)]: Iron Man, Captain America, Susan Storm, Storm, Hank Pym.

Villain characters in the marvelverse have protagonist potential! I dont think DocOc would be caring so much about his vendetta against spidey if all this madness was happening. Obviously more extreme villains like carnage just aren't an option as a protagonist.

After the attack, Humans were farmed and collected into work camps that were established by Apocalypses forces, where the humans were systematically subjected to a serum made from Apocalypse's blood. If a humans body and DNA accepted teh serum and bonded with it, they achieved some kind of superpower. With Apocalypse being the original host, a very, very vast array of powers could have sprung forth. One person may have developed telekinesis, another could possibly be a teleporter, one could have become a brick much like Luke Cage or  Colossus. the possibilities were endless. These were going to be Apocalypses soldiers.

Apocalypse thought he had won, but his thoughts deceived him, despite being as powerful as he was. He underestimated the human will to fight, to rise against the odds. Heroes rise from the ashes of defeat, those who were thought dead, return, and a new era of mutants springs forth. A rebellion begins against the earths "new ruler". the question simply remains, who will Avenge the world, and who will stand at the side of its fearsome ruler and his four horseman? The choice is yours...

For now, this is an interest check. for now, i would like to see if people would be interested in this plot, and who people would want to play. aside from the confirmed dead, Jean Grey/Phoenix, Sentry, and Stephen Strange are off limits.

current reserves are: Captain America, Iceman, Miss/Captain Marvel, and Elektra, Dr. Doom, Nightcrawler, Blink.

OCs can be made, but you are subject to having been a part of apocalypses serum. multiple characters will be allowed, but for now, post your interest in only one canon.

I wonder if I can play a infected human. I got a James Heller like person.
I heard joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Life seems harsh, and cruel. Says he feels all alone in threatening world. Doctor says: "Treatment is simple. The great clown - Pagliacci - is in town. Go see him. That should pick you up." Man bursts into tears. "But doctor..." he says "I am Pagliacci." Good joke. Everybody laugh. Roll on snare drum. Curtains.

Sweet the Hammer Bros.

I call dibs on Blue Marvel.

apygoos

Thor, Beta, and Blue marvel...while i wont necessarily object to these claims, we also already have Miss Marvel. ITs starting to feel like a lot of the same character type floating around which might potentially become unfun.
Just something to keep in consideration. Thor will not have ability to go godmode in this game. so it is known. if you maintain those as your choices, the Hammer Brothers will likely not be kept together, and wont join up for a while, most likely. Based on interest, it is a possibility to be split in three to 4 "zones"
Thor will likely have been in Asgard when all this fighting broke out. As for Blue Marvel if he was on earth he will likely have been one that Apocalypse himself paid a visit. still a bit to sort out, but still alot to think on.

I'd like to tag in with an original character idea.

Here's the sitrep: His powers are to be able to use equivalent exchange through deconstructing and reconstructing matter. But it has a Midas trigger, meaning that it's only on things he can touch with his skin. He wouldn't be able to change his own body because that would go horrifically wrong, and he'd be limited because it's equivalent exchange.

Yes? No? I really want to play this character, especially in the Marvel universe.

So is Doctor Doom available?

Deadpool would be fine i believe, however, talk all your options into consideration. as i said you will be able to take more characters later, but for now pick out the one you want the most if its available!.

If I take a second character... i think I wanna be Sabretooth. Is that weird?
The definition of a hero, at least in my mind, is someone who can protect what is right. To change and stop the wrong. To fight against the forces that seek to destroy you. And, at the very least ... live life well, and enjoy it with those you love.

can think about them i suppose though.

MaiMizzu

I know! I was just saying!  But now that I think about it.. would sabertooth be a more interesting char for the start of the game? Should I go with him and have danvers as my second? When the game gets goin and all. The fact tbat sabretooth is a lil loopy could be interesting.

I would agree that Sabertooth would possibly be a more interesting character to play, but knowing how games go around here, Carol would be swooped up very quickly.

Hm, looks interesting. It is a shame that my namesake has been reserved already, but perhaps someone else may suffice, though I would be all over that if Batman4560 changes his mind.  >:)

Say, Sebastian Shaw or ... Graviton. Especially the latter, since he's quite underused for someone who controls the gravitonic force to a similar extent as Magneto electro-magnetism. I figure if people like Thor or Blue Marvel aren't off-limits, old Franklin Hall might still make the cut, especially as a villainous character. He's certainly too powerful and self-possessed to want to just roll over and submit to Apocalypse.

I figure Graviton might start out having taken control of a territory, setting himself up as a messiah figure of sorts that provides a safe haven as long as people are properly appreciative.  ;D Something that could easily crumble around him during an invasion and set him on a path of petty revenge.

Sue could have saved him, but she was cheating on him with Namor as usual.

apygoos

i dont think im going to let blue marvel, simply because we already have ms marvel, and hes just on a huge power level that frankly, if he was on earth, likely wouldve been paid a visit by a few of the four horseman themselves. Thor is being permitted, but as said before, he cant go godmode. in addition having too many people of the same archestype [ultra bricks] could potentially become stale., if that makes sense?

The Fantastic Four  were one of the groups hit hardest with no warning. The group was paid a visit by war and Famine: Red Hulk and the Mandarin respectively. I should also say that Emma Frost is pestilence, and Death? well we wanted to see what you all think should be Apocalypses chief agent of death. We didn't want to use Archangel because it had happened to him before, and if someone wanted to play Warren, in that regard he could have a slightly larger role than others down the road if hopefully the game gets that far. Carnage was used as death previously.

Hopefully, ill have a CS up for people to check out and fill out later today. once that happens  and you have a character submitted and approved, you can contemplate a second character [canon or OC]

Neysha

Yeah upon pondering it for awhile,  I think i'll join as Titania since she's more well known then my other ideas,  and isn't really an ultra brick. She has formidablr strength and durability, but no superpowers beyond that.  No flight or energy projection. She's not even that bright. So it'll be a fun change of pace from last time.

Also she's a villain without being vehemently evil which is appealing.

I would recommend making second characters something to be earned through activity.  This being at least mainly PvE, character death is not that likely, so there isn't a lot of benefit to having a lot of characters.  If anything, second chars should probably only be used this early on to help even ratios.

Well, that goes without saying. Still, having the interest in who you may be willing to play as a secondary focus isn't that bad. We haven't established an exact time where playing the second characters are allowed. Where it stands now is generally a friendly reminder not to stress yourself too much on having to pick from a list of wonderful characters when opportunities are presented later to play another.

Uh, perhaps showing that I haven't been hugely active on these boards, but ... 'face-claim'? Is this one of those 'use models/actors instead of comic images' things, to reserve people? And if so, is that mandatory? I'll admit, I prefer art for superhero comics-based games.

I've always seen it as rather novelty or simply fun with no real significance or impact on the game. I would say it's optional, personally for those that want to just have the added bit of fun with the character.

I don't think that's quite fair. Blue Marvel is powerful yes but so is Thor(his creator even stated that he was on the same level as people like Hulk and Thor, but he expressly pointed out he wasn't just light years ahead of them) and Beta Ray Bill if whoever was expressing interest is still making him. As is Doom(one of the most powerful mages in Marvel period) and even Iceman when he's properly motivated(one of the strongest Omega Level Mutants out there). Even Graviton has simultaneously pinned every hero on Earth to the ground while levitating an island several miles above the surface of the planet and at one point he literally rearranged a portion of the planet to resemble his face. And aside from having Marvel in his name, he has absolutely nothing to do with Carol Danvers. I was looking forward to this but if I can't play Blue Marvel, I'm going to unfortunately have to retract myself. Hope this thing goes well.

What's the state of the world (universe) before Apocalypse's attack?  Where in the timeline does this take place?  What major events would have taken place that would effect our characters?

we the GMs has a general nod to post AvX, with that being the most recent 616 event. so the Avenger unity squad would be formed formed for the Avengers from the Xmen. you can say "the event" occurs a couple months after those events. This is our own universe however. I personally want to attempt to follow as close a combination of 616[main timeline] and ultimate as possible, somewhat like the cinematic universe does.

Having read up on Apocalypse, I have an idea for a psychokinetic flyer/healer OC. A question though - how long before the game starts will OC's have had their powers? Just trying to get a feeling for how likely they are to understand and control their newly-received abilities?

its been about a week or two since the event. this will be a point of discussion once we get to ooc. a week or two namely because humans were rounded up into those gigantic concentration camps for serum administration. the likelyhood of understanding/control i would say correlated directly to how complex a power you have is. most people though would be aware that its the serum that's giving them /something/. psychokinetic flight + healing is perfectly valid.  on your sheet just be sure to explain to what level this healing is.

Batman4560

NOOOOOO!!! I didn't think so. *Shrugs shoulders* But it was worth a shot.

As I said, I am not well versed in Marvel but is Ben Reilly or Alex Summers available?

Scarlet Spider and Havok are both available.

Alright, question... can I bring back any of my old characters (assuming they're not already claimed this time around)?

i remember you had Thor, which isnt yet taken, but i dont remember which other ones you had. as with everyone else, perhaps if Thor was who you had interest in make a new sheet here and give it to us for approval. once approved you can look at second characters.

Diesel Heart

So, I'll have to confess that I've been struggling to settle on a single character for a while for this, and now that I've finally finalized my choice I'm going to inform those still looking or those for future interest that Iceman has become available. I've taken Iron-Man in the end.

VonDoom

I believe it's worth pointing out that Ms. Marvel, Thor AND Blue Marvel aren't just 'bricks' and vastly different personalities on top of that. Ms. Marvel has her energy blasts as well as the ability to absorb and redirect vast amounts of energy (and may have the potential to go Binary at some point), Thor controls the weather and Blue Marvel I -think- primarily works with energy manipulation abilities, though he uses those to effectively be a 'brick' as well.

Been meaning to ask: did Apocalypse get an extra-upgrade for this game, or were Red Hulk and Mandarin not enhanced that much as Horsemen and just rewired a bit? With those headstrong powerhouses, it seems like he might be setting himself up for another Archangel situation again.

Could I throw my hat in the Ring for Carol Danvers aka Ms Marvel/Captain Marvel?

We've already accepted an application for Carol. Apologies for the inconvenience.

you have single-handedly pointed out that if someone goes to play archangel, he could be important to the plot in the long run. I think if we upgraded apoc at all, it would be a near-impossible fight come the "endgame" for act 1 [yes, i have ideas for what comes after apoc, i really want this game to go for a while, and by while i mean years, if possible, ambitious? maybe, but w/e]. for now they are operating under the premise of "rule without consequence, second only to me" He is asserting stronger telepathic influence than before, but these are very strong willed people,

Fairly new, created in 2008 and recently used again in a couple stories. About as powerful as the Sentry, but not ruined by bad writing yet (to my knowledge). Have a wikipedia link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Marvel_%28Marvel_Comics%29

True, true, Archangel would be quite interesting! Though if you really go with the A vs. X point of the timeline, he'd probably be ... Angel, right now? Dead? One of those. X-Men has gotten even more confusing to keep track of of late. Re: Apocalypse, I was mostly asking because Red Hulk and Mandarin could probably already give him a run for his money in top form -- well, mostly Mandarin, if you went with the more reasonable later Red Hulk that doesn't punch out The Watcher.

Though I admittedly haven't seen much of him during his X-Factor days aside from some trade paperbacks, which is probably when he was at the height of his shown power ... mostly going off of what we saw from him in Age of Apocalypse. Which reminds me: did Mr. Sinister make an appearance in the past game? I imagine he's being his usual magnificently treacherous self?

yea blue marvel deals in a whole array of anitmatter manipulation/energy conversion/projection.
post AvX he is simply The Angel , but still has the archangel powers..and a couple new ones iirc.
once ressurected with the life seed warren received:
Resurrection: After his metamorphosis by the Celestial Life Seed he is seemingly gain the ability to raise the dead.
Essence Reading

Energy Manipulation
Energy Blasts
Energy Constructs

so hes a green lantern on roids.

So Apy I have a definite interest, but got sort of a weird request for a character, think we could talk it over in PM?
I have taken the Oath of the Drake

Yeah I've been reading up on AvX myself since that was included. Another rather convulated and epic crossover it seems. :p

So nobody's become Captain Universe at any point to attempt to quell this nightmare, even temporarily?
Considering a permanent retirement from Elliquiy, but you can find me on Blue Moon (under the same username).

From a Universal perspective, it's probably not particularly relevant unless they get the M'Kraan crystal involved again.

that is generally correct, yes.

i would like to play him if he is! :)

Already taken, I'm afraid. I recommend looking up the thread for approved characters, linked in the opening.

i know it can be daunting, but im sure youll find a good one ;)

AribethAmkiir

There is a super-power wiki that might be able to help Spiral.  Just Google super powers.

VonDoom

Is there any particular type you're interested in? Some type of energy Manipulation, physical powers, mind-based?

Alternatively, you could write the character pre-powers and ask for suggestions on what might fit well (or not at all, if it's intended more a curse than blessing).

we got a sheet from her :)

TamaRose

For the face claim do you want a picture...or how does that work? Please, help. I never had to do the face claim before. So, I don't know what I am doing.

AribethAmkiir

All the face claim means is the actor/model who you're using to represent your character.

VonDoom

And it's entirely optional, so if you want to stick with a drawn image, that's fine too. I did! (Of course, my character always wears his faceplate. And I'm staying well away from any movie appearances, past or present!)

on the sheet? Assuming its Nat/Black Widow just post the picture. if youre using her as a face claim for a different character id also provide some sort of reference. once, and hopefully if, we get to big game status, then we can worry about specially made tag pictures and whatnot.

TamaRose

I was using her as an OC. Is that unacceptable?

SpiralSpider

Sorry, I should have posted here that I settled on powers. ^.^' Thanks for all the suggestions, though.

I decided to stick with stuff Apocalypse actually had and I only chose a few - but that's because I was adapting my superhero OC from another campaign. I hope she's approved.  :-)
