Calling all Mystery-Men!!!
Do you like the DC Comics Universe? Would you like to get to know and love some of it's lesser known names from 70+ years ago? Would you like to take the characters, take and replace elements you like or don't like and reinvent those characters to your ideas?
Then have we got a role play for you! Welcome one and all to the hair raising, spine tingling, Nazi and racketeer bashing world of DC Comics...
In this role-playing universe, set during the years of 1938 to 1951, this adventure will take you back in time in DC Comics history. A simpler time when the world was at the mercy of an evil dictator and his goose stepping minions. When War Bonds were the hottest thing on earth and patriotism was at an all time high. A time when gaudy superheroes roamed the USA in search of adventure. We give you this universe...and allow you to play around with it's dynamics, it's characters and pretty much everything else. The reason being is that many of you may not be familiar with these characters and i want you to feel like you have full control over them, If there's anything about these characters you like or don't like and you want to change (costumes, personality, origin in need of a tweak or revamp, etc) feel free to do so. Also feel free to give these gaudy figures their own personality envisioned and created by YOU! There are only a small handful of rules to follow while doing so.
1:No God modding or a tacking another player without permission from that player.
2:While you can change and reinvent these characters, in order to make sure these character stay true to their original forms in some way, I'd like to ask you to keep the original real names and at least some of the original powers of the character you pick. if you think their origin needs a tweak or an overhaul feel free to do so.
3:Be civil and respectful to other players.
4:No back to back posting. If you do it by mistake, feel free to let me know and I'll let you off. After all, we're only human. :)
5:If you have problems in your life or with your pc that prevent you from posting, we won't hold it against you. Though ideally we'd like to keep the story flowing as smoothly as possible.
6:For now, this is an ''Original/Cannon'' rp. With Cannon characters but with original ideas added to them. If push comes to shove however, i WILL definitely consider letting a few OC's allowed on the site to boost things up.
7:Try to keep in mind that this is a rp set in the 40s, so try to remember that there's no internet or mobiles, k? ;P Plus attitudes about allot of things were different back then. Use google to find out more about the era. Every little bit of info helps.
8:Please show a visual representation of the character you're working with. If you want that character redesigned, you can draw a redesign yourself, look to the internet for an image or ask a pal you know who's skilled in making microheroes to help ya out. if you know how to make them yourself, more power to you.
For an idea of who to pick for your character, feel free to look at this list.

While your fee to pick any character you'd like, there are a few exceptions to this rule.
Superman
Batman and robin
Wonder Woman
Aquaman
Green Arrow and Speedy.
The Marvel Family
and infinity inc. (According to this continuity they wouldn't even have been born yet.)
(As a side note if your going to use Keith Everet I'd rather you call him ''the Grim Ghost'' as not to offend anyone. Remember, the work gay meant happy back in the 40s but someone could still take the name the wrong way.)
(the spectre is off limits unless used without godmodding)
(You Also have the choice of two Firebrands. Rod Reilly or his sister
The 1st ark of our roleplaying adventure in the year 1941 in July, a few months before America became involved in WWII. And it focusses on the formation of the world's 1st team of Mystery-Men. The Justice Society of America!Seeing as we're not sticking to main DC Cannon here, this is our chance to build to team from scratch and tell the story of how the gang got together. What threat will they face to bring them all together? We work off each others posts to find out. We can discus what the Team's HQ will be now of afterwards depending on what everyone wants to do. if people pitch multiple ideas i'll put it up to a vote.
