Hello everyone, I hope there's room to join. I have seven characters I was thinking of using, a few of them intertwine with your already established characters so I was thinking maybe you guys could help me out and decide?

1)Namor- my idea was to have him be a king at the height of his rule, but then through a coup , he's overthrown and banished to the surface world. Here, he tries to make himself a new empire, but he's got a long road ahead of him.

Considering he's got a lot of connection with Fantastic Four characters, I'll leave up to you guys to judge him.

2)Magneto- Considering that there are already a few X-Men individuals, I can form him around their criteria.

3)Punisher- he's my all time favorite character, and I've been writing some extensive fan fiction on him for awhile. I was thinking of changing him to an 18 year old and making him the bastard son, or love child of a previous Punisher who has since died.

4)Iron Fist- I have ideas, but I'm not fully fleshed out with him yet. Part of me was thinking of starting him out as Green Hornet type and he eventually evolves into his own Kato.

5)Kingpin- I would love to do Kingpin, I was thinking that he's just an average schmuck who works at cubicle and has an average family life during the day. During the night, he is a ruthless and calculative criminal enterprise leader, and he struggles to keep the two lives seperate. This would be set in Wilson's early years.

6)Black Knight- I was considering this uptight asshole who's got nothing going for him, and he's basically one bad day away from shooting up a mall. Then he finds a package delivered to his apartment and comes into contact with the Ebony Blade, and becomes the Black Knight and his life starts to take a turn for the better.

7)Ultron- I was thinking of an early developed Ultron who is born into the world today and attempts to learn everything he can to help better his life, and those around him. Soon he goes from a sentient computer program with benevolent and innocent ideals to a crude and malformed mechanical vessel so that he can experience this amazing world for himself, but things go south fast and that sends him down the path of the genocidal robot we all know and love.

Thought i'd just give my opinions on things since i'm currently working through some writer's block :P

1)Namor- my idea was to have him be a king at the height of his rule, but then through a coup , he's overthrown and banished to the surface world. Here, he tries to make himself a new empire, but he's got a long road ahead of him.

Personally my favourite of your choices. I may be mistaken, but i don't believe that any of the FF characters have made mention of Namor yet, so i think that you'd be all good on that front.

2)Magneto- Considering that there are already a few X-Men individuals, I can form him around their criteria.

Currently we don't actually have many people playing any of the X-men, other than Jean Gray, and Quicksilver, who if i'm correct is actually starting an arc where he was going to become a member of the Brotherhood again.

I'd give our resident Quicksilver @DrewVonAwesome a message!

5)Kingpin- I would love to do Kingpin, I was thinking that he's just an average schmuck who works at cubicle and has an average family life during the day. During the night, he is a ruthless and calculative criminal enterprise leader, and he struggles to keep the two lives seperate. This would be set in Wilson's early years.

For this i'ma just put this;



Other than that, I'm pretty sure that @Inuyasha was considering playing Kingpin, although as the rules say; Multiple players may attempt to apply for the same character and all competing applications posted within 24 hours of the first will be considered by the GM, to be judged and selected as they see fit.

7)Ultron- I was thinking of an early developed Ultron who is born into the world today and attempts to learn everything he can to help better his life, and those around him. Soon he goes from a sentient computer program with benevolent and innocent ideals to a crude and malformed mechanical vessel so that he can experience this amazing world for himself, but things go south fast and that sends him down the path of the genocidal robot we all know and love.

Here you'd probably have to work something out with @Gowi, our resident Ant-Man player!

I thought new players could only apply for Hero or Walking the line characters?

@thatguy

I am fine with Namor, Punisher, Iron Fist, and Black Knight.

Kingpin is also fine, but note what Natty said. There is already some pre-established lore for him (see Natty's post and Gowi's Black Cat application) and someone else has shown interest in him as well. So, just FYI.

For Ultron, I'm not quite sure we're ready for Ultron, but you could talk to @Gowi because he controls Ant-Man.

I thought new players could only apply for Hero or Walking the line characters?

Yes, that is the technical rule, but since this game has been going for longer than a year, I am willing to make some exceptions. If you have seen the roster, the Hero section is way larger than either W-t-L and Villains. Applying for Kingpin would be fine because he's an already established character, while I would need some convincing to accept villains that have not been already established (like Ultron).

@Dedonus
Ah, makes sense. I thought about asking for Ultron and then I saw that rule and decided on something else. Maybe in future.

On another note, which version of Nick Fury are we using, original or Samuel L. Jackson?

I always imagined him as looking like the original, but I have not really controlled him yet.

@Dedonus
I don't mind (though after Ultimates and the MCU, I actually have some trouble thinking of him as the original) but I intend to use him in the opening post so I thought I'd better describe him. I can always just use his name and some of the features that are the same for both though; eyepatch, cigar, scowl.

@Sep: Have we ever established whether our Nick Fury was like the original main-stream or the Ulitmate/MCU version?

@Dedonus I was going with the MCU version. Cause Fury man.

@Roosan

Okay, then. We can go with Ultimate/MCU Nick Fury.

So, scratching out Kingpin on my list since my idea conflicts with the one mentioned. That leaves six left, Magneto is on the fence due to a Brotherhood arc. Is it Magneto run, or something Mystique/Saber tooth led? I'd still love to do Ultron, but I don't want to step on Gowi's toes, so he/it's in limbo.

That leaves four left, Punisher, Black Knight, Namor, and Iron Fist. Of those four I'm more keen on doing Namor, Punisher or Black Knight, but if I had to choose only one (which I do :p) I choose Punisher.

So in the end it's either Namor, Ultron or Punisher.

What if I make sheets for all three and we can choose the best one, or the one that fits the universe better or what have you?

I would say make one for Punisher because that is the character that you would choose (as you stated above).

Ok, I'll make one for Punisher, then the others will be back ups just in case. Sounds like a plan, Stan :)

So my opening IC post has grown much larger than I thought it would, it's a very different beast to what I thought I would write and I'm not going to finish it tonight. It should be done this time tomorrow though.

@Angel Vicky Not a problem.

@Roosan HYDRA is certainly still around, but they're lurking in the shadows.

I'll try to post this weekend, if I find the time.

Hey guys, I just wanted to let you know I'm still here; I've run into a busy patch the last 2 days, don't worry though, I'm still here!

I had an idea, that Kingpin was injected by a variation of the Super Soldier Serum which is the reason for his gigantic and perposterous size... thoughts?

Alternatively you can go with the x-gene.

Either one is fine.

I feel like we should probably keep super soldier serum to a minimum, though.
