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 -

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________



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!

Name - Dr. Reed Richards

Alias - Mr. Fantastic

Age - 26

Powers - Elastic powers upwards of 3 miles in length, as well as intellectually being perhaps the smartest person in the world.

Weaknesses - Complete and utter cluelessness on pop culture, heat and cold extremes which melt or soldify him

Personality - Quirky, determined, friendly

Experience - 1 year

Appearance -

BRIEF Bio - Reed Richards has always been gifted intellectually, and thats not an understatement by any means. MENSA, perfect scores in any national test, honors, degrees in numerous accredited universities before he turned 18. Reed's intelligence is borderline supernatural. Sure he was a bit goofy, could creep anyone out with his contortionist skills, and had no idea what was popular or not. Regardless his brains, and his ability to create left many speechless.

When Reed graduated yet again with a college doctorate. He began work with NASA to create a cheaper, more effectent form of spacecraft. During this time he met and began dating astronaut Susan Storm, who soon volunteered along with her brother Johnny and veteran pilot Ben Grimm, to handle the first major full test of the craft.
However, a freak occurrence of cosmic radiation from an unexpected meteor strike caused the ship to make an emergency landing out in the hill of rural France. There however the four were mortified to learn the radiation had given them superhuman powers. Reed's body became elastic, Susan could turn invisible and create force fields, Johnny could light himself on fire and fly, and Ben turned into a large hulking rock like person with inhuman strength.

Things quickly fell apart for Reed, Susan dumped him for what had happened, and the others were just as quick to leave Reed behind. NASA no longer wanted anything to do with him because they didn't feel he could be trusted with big projects anymore, and suddenly Reed felt very alone in the world. However, when he was traveling down a New York City street to go file unemployment. He spotted a robbery happen, and after stepping in had an idea.

Using his knowledge of science for good. Reed created a special suit made out of a newly created material he called "unstable molecule". Elastic to almost impossible degrees, fireproof, and bullet proof up to high powered rounds. Reed allowed himself to be publicly known as he not only worked as a superhero from his lab, situated at the top floor of the Baxter Building in Manhattan, but as a figure to help bring better knowledge and a strong voice for science to the media and public. His hope is to be a role model for the next great young scientists out there. He always likes to say, "Science is fantastic!"

Key Differences - No longer the leader of the Fantastic Four as there isn't a Fantastic Four to lead. Has one VERY big difference about him that will be revealed soon.

Notes - On top of the suit, Reed will occasionally bring with him a backpack which contains tools and items he created if the mission calls for it. Plus he can stretch into it and change into an unstable molecule suit if he has to for whatever reason. Plus Reed is a pacifist, has a strong distaste in violence and would much rather talk things through then get physical. Especially when guns get involved, Reed despises guns.

Can we make multiple characters? Because I had an idea for a new Spider-Woman (Still completely unrelated to Spider-man) and Blade.

Name - Marcus Whitmore
Alias - Jack o' Lantern
Age - 23
Powers - increased strength and durability, flight [via hover-disc], mystic energy blasts
Weaknesses - He's a normal human and has normal human weaknesses. With the suit he's prone to high level energy attacks, and can also be beaten into submission if an opponent is strong enough to damage the mystical mask/helmet.
Personality - reckless, stubborn, fast thinker
Experience - 7 months
Appearance -

BRIEF Bio - Marcus Whitmore was staying with family in Sheepshead Bay in Brooklyn, New York. Several months ago, while staying in the apartment by the water in the 'Bay, Marcus noticed something down by the dock and like any good Scooby Doo fan went to investigate. What he found was a strange mystical energy that he was able to tap into. The somewhat inventor now had a limitless supply of energy to finally make something like a hover disc work based off of damaged Goblin tech found near Osborn Labs. After coming up with the look and alias of Jack o' Lantern, Marcus tried the hero for hire thing and failed. Coming on hard times the young man tried to rob a bank and was incarcerated for several months before being released on a technicality.
Key Differences - Rather than remake the Green Goblin I chose somebody with a similar MO on a flying device. Jack was primarily a villain for Capt. America, Ghost Rider, Punisher, Spiderman, and recently Venom in the comics. I've chosen to remake him from the ground up with a new secret ID and origin but I still kept some of a troubled past. The battle against Galactus could change his life for the better, but I plan to at least scrap with one of you other heroes!
Notes - Rides on a flying hover disc pictured below:

Name - Marc Spector

Alias - Moon Knight

Age - Late 20's

Powers - Hand-to-hand combat, advanced weapons training, first-hand knowledge of government agencies and protocol.

Weaknesses - No metahuman abilities, effectively human

Personality - Ruthless, erratic, efficient

Experience - Trained by the United States military (Marine Corps, specifically), training supplemented by working SHIELD black-ops; operating as a vigilante for about four months.

Appearance - Tall, dark, not-so-handsome:



BRIEF Bio - The wayward son of a rabbi, Marc Spector took to violence like a duck takes to water. He was recruited into the United States Marine Corps while training to be a boxer, and plucked from the USMC by SHIELD (in its infancy as a governmental organization) to run black-ops mission with the best of the best. Some years after being picked up by SHIELD, he went A.W.O.L. Not much is known about what happened to Marc Spector in the interim, but he resurfaces several months later in New York City, acting as an anonymous vigilante (Think a prototypical Punisher). He must avoid the public eye as he's being hunted by the government, whether to force him back into service or throw him down a deep, dark hole is anyone's guess, but with his extensive work inside the government as well as funds he pilfered on his way out the door, it's safe to assume it'll be the latter.

Key Differences - On the surface, Marc is vastly different from his comic book counterpart: he isn't superpowered under the moonlight, he isn't crazy (at least, not yet), and he isn't rich by any stretch of the imagination, any funds he gathers he uses to stay under the radar or fund his "crusade."

Notes - Marc's past as a black-ops goon has brought him into contact with all manner of mercenary and government operative

Name – Wilhelm Maximoff aka William Frank aka William Kaplan

Alias – Scarlet Witch

Age – 21

Powers – Chaos Magic Reality Warping: Will's mutant power connects him to the realm of the trans-dimensional being Cthon. Will's level of control over this is very low and amounts to being able to fire bolts of chaos magic and limited flight. Sometimes, outside of Will's control, he can teleport, have visions, conjure items, create constructs of chaos magic, and even do limited healing.

Weaknesses – Will has very little control over his powers and thus they can go haywire. Also the use of too much chaos magic can affect Will's mind. And also physically he is only human and thus has all the standard weaknesses and limits of being one.

Personality – Neurotic, spacey, loyal

Experience – Several years as a con artist. About sixteen months as a member of the Brotherhood. Currently active in the supernatural community, but not as a hero.

Appearance -

BRIEF Bio – Born in Eastern Europe twins Wilhelm and Pietro were abandoned at birth. Eventually they were adopted by the Maximoffs, a family who had lost their own two children in the violence of the region. Wilhelm and Pietro were almost identical, except for their hair colour. Wilhelm had black like obsidian, while Pietro had white like snow. At an early age Pietro started showing mutant powers, being able to travel across town in seconds. Meanwhile Wilhelm thought himself a normal human, save his recurring nightmares. Eventually word started to spread in the town of the mutant child. So one day while their parents were out a group of boys attacked Pietro. He easily defeated them with his super speed and was ready to kill them, when Wilhelm's powers activated, teleporting the brothers away. They returned to their town but found that they were both wanted for beating the other boys. They then decided for the good of their parents that they should disappear.

The two travelled Europe, Wilhelm posing as a fortune teller, Pietro picking pockets at super speed. Then one day while in Berlin during a hearing on mutants in the European Union, a group of mutants attacked. The twin brothers were caught up in the chaos and, after being outed as mutants, escaped with the mutant terrorists. They soon learned these terrorists were called the Brotherhood and that they accepted all mutants. Pietro convinced Wilhelm to join with him.

After a year of service they were sent to America and given the fake IDs of Peter and William Frank. Their first big confrontation was with the newly formed X-Men, a group of mutants protecting the humans. Will was taken aback by this and only continued to fight them at Pietro's urging. Slowly Will started to learn more about his chaos magic and started to wonder about what a danger he could pose. Such danger happened when an uncontrolled surge of magic drew the attention of SHIELD. In the ensuing conflict several Brotherhood members were captured: including Pietro. Feeling guilty Will left the Brotherhood. Since then Will has become part of the mystical community of New York under the name William Kaplan: the Scarlet Witch.

Key Differences – First off this is a combination of Scarlet Witch and her son Wiccan. The backstory is my riff on the Maximoffs, the name is a combination, and like Wiccan this character is homosexual.

Notes – Will's chaos magic is, well, chaotic. Besides the blasts and flight Will's powers will be random in nature. Also at this time I think he is still kinda in the closet. Also also I have no idea on how to do the stats, so any help would be welcome.

Name - Ororo Munroe
Alias - Storm
Age - 21
Powers - Control over the weather
Weaknesses - enclosed spaces (like a darkened alleyway)
Personality - Bold, Kind, Thoughtful
Experience - 2 years
Appearance -
BRIEF Bio - Ororo faced a lot of bullying in the middle school she went to because of the type of clothes she wore to class. Growing up in the slums didn't help, especially during high school because as best as she tried to stay out of trouble, certain gang members would habitually extort her and corner her off in allyways. Her powers had manifested when she was ten but she didnt realize the correlation until she was older and even went to far as to hide it since she was different enough. It was hard to control it sometimes causing record heat waves etc but when she turned 16, she was contacted telepathically by xavier and was on the path to becoming an x-man
Key Differences - Mom died when Ororo was young, so her father relocated to America (from Africa). He took a job as a custodian at a school in brooklyn and raised Ororo in the hood.
Notes -
