Summary:

Following the mass murder of over a hundred in Manchester by a previously unknown 'supervillain' the UK and US Governments introduce Mutant Registration legislation. Nick Fury is dismissed citing a loss of confidence in Fury from the U.N. Security Council following the incident in Manchester, but insiders leak it is more likely Fury's resistance to 'mutant countermeasures' being actively developed. At this point, Tony Stark begins to make contact with the Xavier's Institute for Higher Learning, fearing the worst for the mutants.

A week later a duplicate incident occurs in Kansas, and the US and UK Governments announce the Sentinel Program to combat dangerous mutants and ensure continued safety. When Stark Industries threatens to sue the US after claiming their Sentinel technology is illegally similar to technology his own power suits are based on, and Captain America comes out against the registration legislation, the Avengers are officially disbanded.

When former Director Fury secretly believes he's uncovered a plot put into place by rogue elements of the NSA, he is detained by Sentinel Drones while investigating the plot. Publicly the US government declares Fury a traitor, his name being connected with, despite lack of proof, to the Kansas and Manchester incidents. In his absence, Tony Stark has called together what Avengers and X-Men he can reach. The suggested meeting place is across the sea in Cuba, the USA yet unwilling to violate sovereign airspace with the Sentinels

Details
- Joint Avengers/X-Men task force.
- Collaborative GMing. While the GMs are trying to tell the story and have overall say-so, how the story unfolds is dependent on each player. If Sentinels come out of nowhere and attack the group in your post, then Sentinels come out of nowhere and attack the group.
- Modern Day setting.
- Custom timeline. More details on that in the OOC, but the highlights: Xavier's dead, Magneto's missing, Phoenix came and went, and the Avengers follow the movie universe for the most part.
- Advanced/High Casual Standards.
- GMs are Zacharius and myself.

At this point, we're just gauging interest. Probably looking at a small(ish) group of four to six players. An OC X-Man is fine, but you'll need a canon Avenger. Even if it's not one seen in the movies yet.

Thanks!

I'd be interested although am curious: what's the available roster like? Are we sticking to certain universes or is anything up for grabs?

Besides Marvel?

Or is this a question of: "If I do Spider-Man can I be Ultimate, or do I have to be regular?" The answer to that would be...I don't care. Up to you.

Available roster is:

Tony Stark is taken.

Jean Grey is taken.

And that's it so far.

I'll say I'm interested in taking part.

Hi Byrd!

Zach and I will start working on an OOC, then, as that's already five people.

Do me a favor, let me know which character each of you is considering, please.

Thanks!

Yep, meant just the different incarnations of the Marvel Universe. Totally <.< >.>

As for what characters I'd like to play, that would depend on whether there'll be more story in the OOC or is the above the only premise we're going with?

But I have always wanted to do a complete rehash of Spidey. Or bring back the old incarnation of Thor. Decisions, decisions......

There'll be more story. Although it'll be an overview of X-Men history, considering the Avengers are movieverse here. Things can be tweaked/filled in if someone needs something for a character, I've got no problem with working with folks on that regard.

Hope you're all ready.

Awesome incoming.

I was going to try and play an X-Man, probably Beast.

EDIT

Now that I think about it, I actually wouldn't mind being Carol Danvers Captain Marvel, but I don't know how much that would fit with what you guys want to do with having a movie-centric Avengers roster.

It'd work fine. Your history would just need to insert her into the team post-NYC.

OOC for those that want to get started on their CS.

Still looking for those interested.
