Galactus is here. Hovering over New York City in his enormous spacecraft, his herald Terrax sees over the completion of his feeding device and deals with any potential threats to the devourer. This universe will be something like the Ultimate Universe mixed in with a little cinematic Marvel U where anything goes. The only characters off limits will be the core Avengers team from the films and the Avengers Assemble cartoon including Capt. America, Ironman, Thor, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Hulk, and Falcon. You can recreate an X-Man, take one of the F4 for a spin, skies the limit. Depending on how far fetched the concept is, don't expect everything to be accepted. We're working off of a 2 year timeline similar to the current New52 DC Comics 5 year timeline. Basically the Avengers and heroes in general have come to the attention of media outlets and the world within the last 2 years and this is the first time Galactus has made contact with Earth. Spiderman can be young again, hell he can even be Miles Morales or somebody else entirely. Depending on what characters are accepted into the game, our enemies and goal as a group could vary but to get things going we'll just have the two big enemies and maybe some mechanical drones or something. While I'd be open to accepting new takes on Spiderman and the Punisher [1st or 2nd string heroes], I'd be much more willing to accept changes in the 3rd and 4th stringers that everybody is less familiar with. Black Panther for example could be an 18 year old foreign exchange student from Wakanda, Wolverine could be a 25 year old dishonorably discharged soldier/new student at the Xavier Institute, or Hank Pym could even be stuck in Giant Man mode and unable to shrink back down...
I'm putting this in Casual rather than Tabletop though I am hoping to incorporate a stat system for the battle itself and to give us something to shoot for as far as evolving our characters over time. Those familiar with my stat based games know how to make their own stats, but here's a breakdown of the system. If it makes things easier I've already brainstormed how to do plenty of characters' stats so I can make something for you initially you can edit if you'd like.
I'm hoping to go at a stat based game a little differently here so we can get to the good stuff. Just two enemies means we can team up easier, get taken down together, etc. and go right into the fighting. The course of time the initial 'arc' of the game lasts is about 48-72 hours straight within the context of the story. This will help you guys level up quicker and develop your characters further with the stats. Once you're a little more invested, we can go into a broader Marvel universe stat based game and possibly take on Hydra, Doctor Doom, the Wrecking Crew, the mutant Brotherhood, etc... Also, depending on the characters and their time as heroes, I'm gonna change this up a little more than past stat based games and let some players begin with level 2 and level 3 stats. But there will still be noobs stuck with Level 1 stats to begin with...
Here's a skeleton for the Character Sheets themselves, minus the stats...
Name -
Alias -
Age -
Powers -
Weaknesses -
Personality - [3 words or less]
Experience - [anywhere from a few days up to 2 years]
Appearance -
BRIEF Bio -
Key Differences - [how is the character different from the mainstream comics and cartoons/movies?]
Notes -
Accepted Players/Character will be listed below. I'll post stat cards I've finished as they become available and post them here in the opening post...
Accepted Players/Characters:
The Kid Lantern - Jack o' Lantern
Fearless_2814 - Moon Knight
Endrance - Storm
Mattmanganon - Spiderman/Venom
DVAwesome - Mr.Fantastic
Damo - Kate Bishop/Hawkeye II [pre-approved, awaiting CS]
Kupo - Scarlet Witch

For anybody that still doesn't get it, this is basically making the RPG more like an actual game rather than a 6 or 7 person fan-fiction. At some point we could even butt heads and battle each other if you'd like!
GM NOTES: 10/1/14 -
* Unless we get more people than I can manage [12-15 active players] we'll ALWAYS be accepting.
* Added the last of the stat cards, IC will be posted soon!
