So, I tried this RP on the previous forum before it died. So, after many long hours playing Broforce, I think this RP could work. It takes elements from Broforce, the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and Steamboy

This RP will take place in England, in the year 1902, Steam is the single most powerful fuel source on the planet. You can play as almost any character, within reason, only a steampunk version of them, this can be anyone, such as maybe Spider-man, Batman, Sailor Moon, a Ninja Turtle, Korra, Bayonetta, The Elric Brothers, Samus Aran, Green Lantern, Harry Potter, Iron Man, Robocop or even Inspector Gadget. I'll even accept characters that come from a Steampunk setting, like Dante. Of course, since this is a re-imagining, feel free to develop your character to have a different personality to their canon counterparts. This is the beginning of the 20th century, and such behaviours are most unheard of back in this time.

The Industrial Revolution hasn't slowed in technological progression, and whenever technology progresses, the first thing on everyones minds is "How can we adapt it for military purposes. In exactly one weeks time, the Royal Science Society will be holding a Science Exhibition. Scientists from all over the world are flocking to London to show that they have concocted the most potent weapons. One such science group is Moriarty Industries. A conglomerate that is dedicated to providing the world with the most advanced weapons ever conceived. Giant moving gun emplacements called "Tanks" Guns that can fire not 2, not 3, but more than 30 shots before needing to reload... There are rumours that they have even perfected the unthinkable art of flight. Although, this seems a little convenient, seeing as many scientists working on such technology have disappeared, their offices ransacked. To protect the world from the new technological terrors that are being brought to light, the British Government have created a brand new orginization called "MI6"

Something that has been kept secret is that MI6 are gathering people from all over the world to join, those who possess certain skills, skills that allow them to perform better than other humans. Some have technology that grants them super strength, others were born better... Some were not even born on this planet...

Anyone interested in foiling an evil genius before he can put his evil plans into action and possibly cause a war that could envelop the whole planet?

Alright, well, that's one on board. I want at least 4-5 people before I start an OOC though.

I like me a bit of Steampunk. Is this a freeform? I'd have to have a think about what kind of character I'd do though.

If by Freeform, you mean, you have the freedom to do what you want with them, then yes. Again, feel free to try for any character. Any at all, just steampunk them up.

By freeform I mean is there an RPG in the background - books and dice rolls and so on - or is it more like collaborative fiction? Either would be fine but I have more experience of the non-mathematical sort. :)

Non-mathmatical. I've tried them before and they generally turn into a clusterfuck.

1 more person and i'll make an OOC

Ha ha interesting choice of terminology but I have to agree. I'd rather just tell the tales myself.

I know. I'll do a steampunk Princess Leia. Leia, headstrong daughter of the king working as a diplomat but actually a member of MI6. Presumably will turn out to be adopted and someone's twin sister at some point. Uses a steam-powered lightsaber and is master of using "The Forge". :)

I like that idea so much I'm going to change my avatar. :)

Steam LIghtsaber might need some work though. I don't want to have to be dragging a boiler around.

You heard of cyberpunk? It's like that but steam. Briefly,
It's when you imagine what the world would be like if the Victorians had kept going with the steam engines and science was steam powered.

I love steampunk RPs you should do it. But when you said avengers I thought you meant the Marvel only. Will it have original characters?

I'd rather not have original characters... But, considering that you have literally the entire literary world at your disposal to make a character, feel free to go nuts.
