Welcome true believers; welcome to All-Star Marvel, an intoxicating land where creativity for creativity's sake can take priority and enable you to render stories and events you could only have dreamed of in all of your previous mundanity. We welcome you to a unique narrative opportunity to take any Marvel character character and re-imagine them in a way that makes them pleasurable for you to write unique and original stories with. In this universe no events in the main Marvel comics continuity are considered canon. It is entirely contained within the forum and within your imagination. Am I over-egging it? Perhaps. It's still pretty cool to see.

Whether you're one for emotional drama or a sucker for physical trauma, the vast range of characters available could fit any genre or any purpose you could reasonably imagine. Is your interest piqued by a fresh interpretation of Bruce Banner that you really wanna try out? Own it. Love Thor but hate that darned old hammer? Sling it. Think that The Whizzer is in need of a drastic revival? That's good too. No-one is off limits here. Not even Doop. As long as they have appeared in a canonical Marvel tale on either the page or the screen they're free for refurbishment. Here, the MARVEL UNIVERSE is yours to mold.



Q: Wait, I have seen this interest check before! Is this a reboot?

A: I would say a soft reboot. While we will remain in the current thread, the slate is still pretty much clean. You will not need to read through the IC to know what is going on (and if you have any questions, you can just ask and either I or one of the other current players can help explain).

Q: Is there a long list of rules?

A: There is a list (not as long as it might seem), but think of them more like why McDonald's put a warning on their coffee that it is hot. Sometimes, you just need to get some "common sense" down on paper.

Q: Are OC (Original Characters) allowed?

A: Strictly speaking, original characters are not allowed. However, due to the nature of this RP, you can fashion the Marvel character in (almost) whatever why you desire, so you still have a medium for creative leeway. Also, I probably would turn a blind eye to OC's who are supporting cast (with that said, don't go too crazy!).

Q: Can I start out as a villain?

A: I would prefer you first apply for either a hero or walking-the-line character (an example of the second group would be someone like Punisher). However, if you really, really want to play a villain, you have to convince me that this will not be a "one and done" thing.



Your character must have appeared somewhere in one of the many media that Marvel distributes (comics, films, television, video games, etc.). Therefore, you may not use characters owned by other comic companies (like Batman) or original characters. However, you are free to take liberties in the creation of your character.

Quick thanks to ErsatzEmperor and others who ran the previous iterations of this RP.

Come one, come all. Have fun.

Possible interest if I can figure out something to use!

Ditto

Interested. I honestly have a few ideas that can work for this.

Interested as well

Interested! Shall work on a CS later today!

Just follow the link in the op (the only text that is colored yellow) to come to the game thread! I can't wait to see the character sheets. :D

Oh... I thought you were starting a new one in casual to go alongside the advanced one. ^^;

Question: Why is this Interest Check in Casual when the RP is in Advanced?

Question: Why is this Interest Check in Casual when the RP is in Advanced?

While the thread is in the Advanced, I will not require people to write novella-sized posts. If you write high-casual, then I think you will do fine. Plus, I was trying to maximize the effectiveness to find people. For this RPG, the real difference between it and casual is really it goes at a slower pace. Ideally, posting once a week would be nice (more is good, less is acceptable as long as you don't disappear). If that's too slow for you, well, I'm glad you all showed some interest. I hope you all would give it a try, but thank you all for showing interest even if you do not choose to join.

Unlike the OldGuild in Advanced a lot of people these days aren't requiring people to write shit ass wall of text style posts. I highly recommend it, advanced now adays just basically means you know what you're doing in terms of RP.

That was kind of the main reason I was always a bit reluctant to check out advanced, honestly... Might check it out then, although that's still pending on whether I can figure out someone to use. XD Hmmm.

I have also updated the character list in the main thread so you all know who is available (I am about ready to finish my Ms. Marvel app, just FYI). We basically have the X-Men and most of the Avengers available for play.

I was the same with most advanced. I was always reluctant ( I had a bad experience with it) but it's not so bad now I've gotten used to it. Most the hardasses left with the Guildfall.

I would enjoy doing a Fantastic Four, but you know... feels like no one else does.

So... does anyone want to make that group for this or something?

You can play one of the characters of the group, and NPC the others until someone else joins in or create multiple sheets for the whole group. I would be willing to help down the line but right now I'm focusing on Hulk being my sole character in this (I like to get into the head of one character before I make a second).

Oh no I did that in a previous run and no one stepped in leaving me playing all four of them, which was tough.

I'd offer to help, but unless you want to put Banner in the four I can't :P

Banner would make an interesting sub in for thing actually... The biggest thing I did last and would time to do again was have Reed and Johnny as the couple as opposed to reed and Susan. Susan can be with Banner or even just straight up her own woman who is the leader even.

I had even thought about switching Susan and reed's powers too to complete Susan being the leader.
