Topic: Marvel Avengers [A New Hope] - OPEN FOR NEW PLAYERS

[Josietta]

Marvel Avengers [A New Hope]

At 8:32 am on Tuesday, August 4th 2015, the relative calm of a typical New York morning was shattered as the first of hundreds of Kree ships descended from the sky, a massive invasion fleet intent on wreaking havoc on the 'heroes' of Earth in retribution for past slights.  Leading this invasion was the powerful commander known as Ronan the Accuser, along with an army of genetically modified super Kree, each in possession of terrible power. 

The Avengers and the Fantastic Four were the first to respond, but though they fought bravely, it soon became apparent that their own might would not be enough to turn the tide against this enemy.  Captain America and Iron Man sent out an all call to every hero they could.  The Earth needed them, and the response was tremendous.  The X-Men, Dr Strange, Spider-Man, the Hulk and many others all heeded the call of the leaders of the Avengers, and finally, after an absolutely epic battle, the Kree were repelled, laid low by the might of Earth's mightiest heroes.  The day was won. 

Captain America gave an impassioned speech when all was said and done, commending all who had answered the call.  Those brave heroes were each given the status of honorary Avengers.  X-Men, Fantastic Four and others... all stood as Avengers that day and henceforth.  Now things seem to have gone back to 'normal', but every hero now stands ready to unite once again in the face of any threats to the Earth. 

A few notes regarding this setting:

1. There was never a Superhuman Registration Act in this setting.  Consequently, there was never a superhero 'Civil War'.

2. There was never a 'House of M' or 'X-Men vs Avengers' storyline in this setting.  Assume that pretty much anything that happened in the comics post 2000 never happened in this setting.

3. Jean Grey is a very powerful telepath and telekinetic but she is not in possession of the Phoenix Force.

4. Scarlet Witch is a probability manipulator, not a godlike reality warper in this setting.

5. Sorry but homebrewed characters will not be allowed in this game.  Canon characters only.

6. All PCs will possess Avengers cards that serve as ID and communicators.  They will all have access to Avengers Tower and Tony's mansion.

7. Just because a canon character was in a relationship in the comics doesn't mean your PC was.  It's up to the individual player.

8. This is not a sex focused game but we will not discourage such as long as it is being done at the appropriate times and places.

9.  We will have GM ran plots and allow for character/player developed plots as well.

10. While the game is primarily sandbox with portions of GM plots, we want it to be understood that things will not be spoon fed. It will require some initiative and effort on some players parts to keep things moving at an even pace. There is only so much we, as GMs, can do to keep you moving forward. We are always willing to accommodate and assist in player driven plots but we do require players to present any plots of their own to the GMs beforehand for approval.

11. Our posting rate -- we're looking for a post every 7-10 days minimum. If you are involved in a full on plot  (which we run as an option for players, they are not mandatory to attend) that rate will change to 5 - 7 days. If for some reason you can't post on your turn in a plot combat scene , we can always work it out and skip that turn and you could get back in on your next turn. This is purely situational  (as in needing to be away from E during that time because of RL issues) and won't affect how your character is viewed. We always make accommodations and try to make sure everyone  gets some time in the spotlight.

Game Info

This is a freeform game, but not all characters are created equally.  While there are no stats to speak of and certainly no system or dice, there are three 'tiers' of power that a given character may fall into.

Tier One are the characters closest to what could be called "Street Level".  While they are powerful compared to normal people, they are at the lower end of the superhero spectrum.

Tier Two are the characters that are more powerful than Tier One, but not as powerful as Tier Three.  Most Marvel heroes tend to fall into Tier Two.

Tier Three are the mightiest of the Heroes Earth has to offer.  Note that the list of Tier 3 characters is fairly short. 

For simplicity's sake, every character is considered equal in power to others within his or her tiers.  If you don't see a favorite character on the lists we provided, let us know and we'll be happy to consider adding them and assigning them a tier.

Individual powers and skills may still factor into any RP'd battles.  Common sense should apply.  For example, if Spider-Man (a Tier Two hero) is fighting Juggernaut (a Tier Three villain), it would likely end up being a stalemate.  Spider-Man isn't powerful enough to defeat the Juggernaut (very few heroes are), but the Juggernaut likewise probably can't actually hit the amazingly agile Spider-Man.  Spider-Man is smart, so he knows that his best bet would be to try and hold Juggernaut's attention with taunts and stay out of harms way until help can arrive.

Also note that though power levels may factor into superhero fights, the game is not about who's the biggest badass.  You can have as much fun role-playing Black Widow as you would playing the Hulk.  We can promise you one thing... we will never purposely make your character look weak, foolish or otherwise "bad" unless asked to by the player.  Everyone will have the opportunity to do some badass things.

As well, that players will not be permitted to play a Tier Three character until they have played a Tier One or Two character consistently for at least a month.  We want to reward those who show us loyalty to the game with those characters.

If you see a Tier One or Two character on the following lists that you want to claim to play, let us know in this thread and we'll mark them as taken.

Your GMs for this game will be LunarSage (main GM) & Josietta (co-GM).

Mwah!

How goes the deliberation of Lilith? 'Cause... Vampires are hot. And I love me some sexy vampire.

[LunarSage]

As long as she's a heroic version of her, I see no issues.

[Elysian Radiance]

-dances- W00t! Thank you! I imagine her as sorta Blade-esque. I'll only be playing her, at least for right now. Don't wanna overwhelm myself from the get-go.

[VonDoom]

Hmm. Interesting. Might go for Agent Venom -- he's after 2000, but may still be feasible? He's certainly one of the better 'newer' characters. Could do 'Lethal Protector' era Brock, too, though I know a lot of people don't like him or were overexposed.

Alternatively, Ghost Rider might be nice. 

(Also, if I may give some feedback on the Tiering -- I'd personally swap Rogue and X-Man. Nate's insane, even before his 'World Shaman' phase.)

[LunarSage]

I'm not at all familiar with Agent Venom.

Ghost Rider would probably work best of the ideas you have proposed interest in, Von Doom. 

Rogue's Tier 3 status is debatable, but in the end we needed to have more females in that tier so we made her a 3.  You're right that X-Man is probably Tier 3 as well though.  We'll edit the list shortly.

[Dhi]

I'm interested in playing the Jessica Drew Spider-Woman, but I'm not super familiar with the character. Just read some books here and there and liked her deal.

[wander]

I'd be happy to play Hawkeye, Nightcrawler and/or X-23, depending on what popular opinion would be. I've had experience with playing all three, actually own their comics to know what they're like and they're three of my favourite Marvel characters. I will of course go down to one, probably one of the former pair.

...Because I'd actually like to roleplay an adult scene with someone else playing X-23... ^^

Dhi!  It's awesome to see you again! 

She's certainly available for you.  If you'd like I can PM with you to discuss the version of her you'd like to play and I can answer any questions you may have.

Hello wander! 

We'd like to limit characters to start to no more than two, so let us know which of those 3 you're most interested in.

[Bloodied Porcelain]

You already know I'm in, but I figured I'd pop in and say ohai anyway.

*snuggles the Lunar* I'm so glad you guys are running this. I would consider Scarlet Witch, but I worry I wouldn't be able to do her justice. Jubes is the only marvel canon chick I've ever played convincingly. >.<

If it makes you feel any better... my Marvel knowledge is limited to the movies (I know, for shame) and I've never played a Marvel character before. So I'm completely winging it. I'm sure that whatever you choose, you'll do marvelously.

cwutididthar?

*cackle* You're so punny

[Dhi]

Lunar, that would be great if you have the time! If you get too busy with GM stuff I can do some wiki reading and try to figure it out.

[Bloodied Porcelain]

Okay, so... A couple questions

1: If it's okay, I'd like to take Scarlet Witch, but I'd prefer to do the movie verse version of her (with obvious changes to her background so her brother isn't dead and all). Would it be okay to use the movieverse version of her powers as well? She didn't have anything world shattering, and I think on the scale, she'd probably be Tier 2.

2: Can we use RL models (as long as they're close to the character's comic looks) or do we have to use comic pictures? I ask primarily because I love the way she looks in the movie and I kind of want to re-use the picture I picked out for Lunar and I's solo for Jubes.

You're more than welcome to play Wanda, BP. 

What exactly were her powers in the movie?  I don't remember it being too clear.

You can use whichever you prefer.  I will likely be using a combination of comic and real life pics for my characters.

MCU Scarlet Witch

I will probably drop the telepathy to either none at all, or something very low-key like being able to catch surface thoughts if someone isn't actively trying to shield themselves from her, and stick to her being able to manipulate/implant fears in to people's minds from a telepath-ish standpoint (only with permission from the other player, of course, so I doubt this will be used much).

Never fear.

I prefer everyone try to have a real life photo to go with their costume referenced comic image. It can take a little more work but it is preferred.
