DC/Marvel Universe

So here are my ideas. All of this is negotiable, of course. These are just general ideas. The heroes, villains and citizens. We’re going to start with the careers of all involved to be fairly young, for the most part. At least their public lives. You’ll notice a lot of this is based on the movies… just cause. This is a world where all these comic book characters from different company exist on the same Earth in the same universe.

Status of some important/popular figures:
-Superman: Only recently revealed himself, like within the last year. We could even use the events from the movie.
-Batman: I would say he’s been an urban legend for a while now. People in Gotham know of him, or think they do. I would say the events of ‘Dark Knight’ (Joker) happened, but not much beyond that.
-Iron Man: (Character reserved for co-GM Apygoos)Tony was kidnapped and made his armor to escape. He has had a public outing with it, like at the end of the first movie. It will be up to the player to decide if he’s revealed his secret identity yet.
-Wolverine: (Character is taken by me, sorry) Much of his past happened as it did in the comics. But he’s never been in the X-Men.

Again, most of this is based on them not being in the public eye for long (if at all). The Avengers don’t exist, neither does the JLA, or Fantastic Four.
I would say the Xavier school exists and helps mutants, but perhaps the X-Men don’t exist. Or if they do, they have had very limited adventures. Maybe just to fight Magneto.

SHIELD exists, but it’s not as wide scoped as it is in the movies. They won’t be in charge of the team that is formed. I see them as more of a covert government group that investigates ‘metahuman’ activities.

The team will be formed by one of the main heroes.. I can see Superman or Tony Stark doing this. Maybe Dr. Fate or Dr. Strange (or both and are NPC characters) enlists one of them to recruit other heroes to stop an evil they forsee. The villain itself, that’s up for debate. Has to be something big, though. Something to big for a single hero to handle. Darkseid was my first thought.. Thanos would be awesome, but he’s being used an awful lot recently. Ultron, perhaps. Galactus might be to much.. maybe. I also want our team to face multiple villains, from both universes. Maybe a league of evil sort of thing eventually. People can play heroes and villains in this RP.

The team name… I have no idea yet. Avengers? Justice League? League of Avengers? Up for debate too.

I see the team as being… 10 people. But I think we can open up the universe more. Have the team be 10 or so, but there are also other heroes in the world.

For the sake of this RP, no character will be.. ya know overpowered. There will be limits. Sure we want to see if the hulk can beat superman, but the hulk or superman can't lift the moon or punch a planet in half. there will be limits, limits strictly enforced by GM's.

We need heroes first, by the way. We're also looking for balance.. so if our team is 10 heroes, then we'd like to shoot for 5 to be from marvel and 5 to be from DC. I'm a co-GM, along with Apygoos. I'll be working on a character sheet in the near future. We're looking for players who can make decent sized posts (paragraph AT LEAST or more), and post at least twice a week please. We'd prefer way more than that, but those are the minimum.

Any questions, just ask! or PM me or Apygoos.

thank you for your interest!

The CS. Please PM post to me (MaiMizzu) and Apygoos
Codename: What do we call you?

Real Name: What name were you born with?

Identity: Secret or public?

Sexuality: Hetrosexual, homosexual, whatever it might be

Approximate Age: Keep in mind we’re going with the idea that 99.5& of ‘heroes’ have made their first public appearance in the last year or so.

Source of Powers/Abilities: Mutie? Science experiment gone awry? Gods give you power when you say something?

City of Operation: If your hero has been working in or out of the public eye, is there a specific city or region they tend to stick to?

Personality: Tell us a little about your character’s attitude and outlook towards others

Weakness or Flaws: We should also include some flaws of your character. Don’t worry, nothing will be used IC

Powers: What.. powers your character has. if any.

Talents/Skills: Abilities that aren't necessarily part of your powers. Like being supersmart or being able to whittle a corncob pipe.

Equipment: Is there anything your character uses or carries on them regularly?

BRIEF History: We know who your hero is for the most part, but this is a different universe. It’s almost like a reset. So what has your character been doing in the passed year or so? Hero’ing? Laying low? Defending Asgard?

Appearance: If you want to post a pic, cool. If you want to describe the look of your character, cool. Both? Even better.

Are you going to be able to post at least once a week? :

Do you have an issue with making your posts AT LEAST one paragraph (more would be adored):


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.

arkhos

I'd be jazzed for a shot to play Thor. :)

And as a fan of -both- universes, I think this is a great idea. :)

Ugh. I hate to be that guy but Fuck Batman, Fuck Super man, Fuck Spider Man, Fuck Wolverine, Fuck Captain America. Punisher I could see more of but fuck  these overexposed under wearing breakfast cereal ass heroes. Yeah, I said it.  I'd rather see more Hit Girl than any of these boring schmucks and role plays based on alternative concepts rather than these tried and true blockbuster formulaic beaten horses. Same shit, different toilet. It's hard to be excited  about the same 10 characters, I want something different, I want something that's not the usual script. I want to play from the prospective of an unrepentant bad guy in a fucked up world ran entirely by villains,  our world. Or maybe flawed heroes, captain rapist, hero by day, rapist by night. I'm tired of conventional good vs conventional evil. Superhero games need to evolve *drops mic*

Staff aware and acting.

If you dont' like it, then don't join it. And it's unnecessary to post such things here. I'm sorry if this offends you so, but again... you don't have to join. Or even post here.

For everyone else who is actually excited for this, we look forward to hearing from you!

Heyas BK,

You could always start your -own- thread with those ideas you mentioned, rather than going into one you clearly aren't interested in - and posting your displeasure?

I bet if you started your own games with those ideas, you might get some takers. But why you felt the need to come here into a thread about two universes you obviously hate and drop a collection of f-bombs on someone else's ideas is really confusing, and comes across as pretty immature.

Just sayin'.

A by strapped for time at the moment, but I'd be interested in taking up the role of Raven :-)

Sweet! I would be up for being either Superman or Kyle Rayner.

Imogen

I'd very much like to play Magneto. I know he's usually played as a villain but he's assisted fighting the 'evil' evil more often than enough to qualify as hero. Might also make for some fun dynamics with the X-men joining.

If that's a no go I like to submit a tentative interest for Miss Marvel, Cyclops or Storm.

personally id like to see more women in here. Storm or Ms. Marvel would be pretty legit
I remember your Magneto and Rogue from "A New Fate" while it was up and it was pretty epic.
One thing to keep in mind however: There are no Xmen, no Avengers, no JLA, JSA, Titans, none of it. Some characters history would be more affected than others [i.e. magneto]. Being their first or second year heroing, this will make for some unique interactions

I think I could get involved in this.

SHAZAM!

Sounds interesting just need to pick a hero can't decided between Stargirl, Starfire & Goldstar (anyone spot a theme there?  ;D )

As for the big villain, maybe Eclipso sending out black diamonds to possess\control all the world's leaders or something?

I think Goldstar would be awesome, an older Stargirl could be pretty good too, as with an older Starfire

JDrew Spider

Oh I'm so up for this. I'd be Interested in playing Storm or Spiderwoman.

Really can't decide. Storm I think...but a different version.

Maybe Elektra.

I'm perfectly fine with bringing his age up a few years.

doodasaurus

I am fairly interested in playing Nightwing, though I don't know if that fusses with the timeline set up.

by this set up. Richard Grayson would be in his teen years as Robin at best.
I'm a Nightwing fanboy, but unfortunately most of his [normal] history is near-impossible [hell we dont even have a batman..or a rule 63 bat].
I love Dick, and play him in our new Titans game here on E, but with the "year one/2" set up, It's really difficult to bring him to fruition. I would need to talk with Mai about it, but if Bats was bent a bit to allow for a logical time frame for Richard to make that ascension to Nightwing, Bats wouldn't be that "urban myth", he would be pretty well established vigilante in Gotham, which changes that possible plothook greatly.

Oldknight

I wouldn't mind taking Hal Jordon if he is open

Diesel Heart

If I were to join up as someone I'd be one of the following:

Rose Wilson: The daughter to Deathstroke and member of the Teen Titans. Precognitive powers and martial training withe enhanced physiology.

Frenzy: A mutant that belongs to the X-Men. A mutant with steel-hard skin and super-strength.


madamcharisma

Okay this sounds like a great crossover. I do have one questions... do you want people RPing as Villains as well or are the villains going to be strictly NPC.

If we're going strictly heroes and heroines here I would be interested in playing either Emma Frost or Hawkgirl. Either one, whichever you think will fit the plot better.

Hawkgirl would be pretty legit. were not taking PC villains at this time, down the road, once we get going, [i.e. after the first "chapter"] we will though.

madamcharisma

I'm on board if you'll have me. I've always wanted to play Hawkgirl.
