Though I don't think they've been established in the comics, the Diwatas are recognized as lore according to Marvel's handbook on Mythology in the Marvel Universe. I'd like to play as one of those characters if that's okay. The character I'll pick will most likely be part of the Triumph Division. Information on both of these groups in the 616 is pretty limited, but I'm sure I can come up with something awesome - if you'll let me of course.

I am interested I am going to need to think about what I want to do

I don't see anything wrong with that right now. Of course I would have to see a final character sheet, but that would be fine. Also, I have a question for everyone. Would everyone prefer to start with a fresh RP thread or would you all not mind using the previous one that I tried to start up before Christmas Break? The old RP thread only has one IC post that you need to ignore. Just let me know your thoughts.

As a (potential) N00b how much is going on in that thread that I would have to sort out? I am interested in Captain Marvel (Formerly Ms Marvel) and I want to incorporate more "Ancient Aliens" into her origin story. A lot of the super-science of the MU coming from KREE/SKRULL/ETC tech being reverse engineered. Carol was part of a military experiment using more advanced understandings of said technology (which had previously produced Cap)

There are only 7 IC posts in that thread, so nothing big has happened yet. I'll post the events and circumstances that go with the RP after this post. We can edit them in order to cater to what people want to do (of course at my own discretion). For this RP, the premise is that its a reimaging of the Marvel Universe in a modern setting (2012) and within 3 years of the public becoming aware of super-humans. Edit: Also, if you want to do Captain (Ms.) Marvel, we're going to have to work out details with our current 'Rogue' player, assuming that that player is still with us.

Note that we can make changes to this. ||The Present Day:|| The year is 2012 and the world can never change back to how it was. Two years ago, uncanny individuals began to surface, performing many marvelous deeds. Nevertheless, due to their lack of exposure in the media, these super-humans were only thought as rumors and urban myths. But as a year came and went, these sightings of super-humans soared until the point when their existence was no longer questioned. In an age of rationalism and science, the world was bewildered by these individuals. What was once thought a things of legend were now real: men flying unaided by humanity's ingenuity, lifting inhumanly heavy weights, and even defying the established laws of nature. At the same time as the super-humans arose, a secret government agent stepped out of the shadows in order to deal with the chaos caused by the emergence of the super-human. This organization is the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division, or S.H.I.E.L.D. for short. Not only was it their task to monitor all super-human activity, but also to combat any organization that threatened the existence of the world. No one outside the organization knows how long S.H.I.E.L.D. has been operating. Whether they just recently formed or had been monitoring the situation for years, everyone knew that they were here to stay. ||The Discovery of Mutants:|| While the term "Mutant" was only recently coined for those individuals who possessed the X-gene, mutants have existed for decades. Most incidents involving mutants happened on the local level of society and therefore were usually seen as isolated events. Many mutants, who appeared normal on the outside, could pass are regular humans, while those who could not pass as a normal human went into hiding in fear of being labeled a demon. Even with the occasional uncanny event, the majority of humanity never connected the dots between these occurrences. However, as the decades rolled, the mutant population kept growing and growing, which meant is became more difficult for mutants to remain under the radar. However, in the 80's, a group of powerful mutants, including Charles Xavier, Erik Lensherr, and Raven Darkholme, formed a group, called the Brotherhood, swearing to keep mutantkind hidden from the rest of the world, lest humanity, threatened by the potential power of the mutants, launch a preemptive strike against their evolved brethren. For a decade, this alliance successfully prevented the general public from learning the truth about mutants. However, the leadership of the Brotherhood eventually collapsed as they had differing ideologies concerning human-mutant relations. Therefore, the Brotherhood was dissolved and the mutants went their separate ways. As a result of this, Charles Xavier founded the Xavier Institute of Higher Learning by using his family inheritance to fund the project, while Erik, now referring to himself as Magneto, reformed the Brotherhood of Mutants, binding his time until it was the right moment for mutantkind to strike back. Through recent genetic research in 2010, it was discovered that not only was the human race still evolving, but that these mutations could give people super-human powers. Once super-humans began to appear on the national stage, people began to ask whether this 'X-gene' was the cause of the surge of super-humans, or was this a separate event? Despite the answer to that question, the results from this research could finally explain occurrences in the past that could not be explained in the past. ||The Current Situation:|| The world is in its second year of fully knowing the existence of super-humans. What happens next is up to you, the players. This Universe is a clean slate. Will the Avengers form? What calamity will cause their formation? And who will comprise of that roster? Who will compose Xavier's X-Men and Magneto's Brotherhood? How will the world treat Mutant-kind? Will they receive them with open arms or will they cast them out in an attempt to preserve humanity? All these questions will be answered by you, the players, as your stories unfold. So we're now looking at: • 1942 - Captain America, accompanied by a hand selected team of professionals enter the war, guns blazing. • 1980's - The Brotherhood is founded. Members include Charles Xavier, Erik Lensherr, and Raven Darkholme. • 1990's -The Brotherhood is dissolved after the leadership had clashing ideologies. Charles Xavier founds the Xavier Institute of Higher Learning, while Magneto reforms the Brotherhood in his own image. • 2010 - Super-humans begin to fall under the radar of the general public. However, at this point, they are still only urban legends. The 'X-gene' is discovered. • 2011 - The world accepts the existence of super-humans. Most heroes begin their careers in this year. • 2012 - The Present Day.

Edit: Also, if you want to do Captain (Ms.) Marvel, we're going to have to work out details with our current 'Rogue' player, assuming that that player is still with us.

We could always bake the Binary reboot into the cake

Its up to everyone. I don't mind either way. As long as Franklin is your new god. :D

He is not our god, he is just god of a pocket universe he created within our universe which makes him on par with A celestial or two (unless he summons HIS Galactus)

Sounds good. I'll try and have a sheet up by the end of this weekend.

K... sooooo... like Dedonus can you link the original IC for us? Just wanna see what happened IC-ly?

Oh this looks awesome, how liberal can we be with the changes to our characters?

I'm turning Franklin Richards and The Sentry into the Marvel version of Shazam. So..very liberal.

Oh this looks awesome, how liberal can we be with the changes to our characters?

As liberal as you wish. While I would lean away from doing changes that would inhibit other player's potential major characters (like having Captain America being Iron Man - this prevents someone from doing a Steve Rogers Captain America), you can change backstories, etc as much as you want.

Hmm alright well mark me down as Dr Victor von Doom!

Well...in that case, Technically its Steve as Iron Man so it inhibits anyone being Iron Man. Though so many variables with that one that anyone could still technically be Iron Man. But we get what you are saying, Pete. lolz.

Are we supposed to post our CS here or wait for the OOC? I'm like halfway done mine, been using this post to edit and see how it looks.
