Thinking of an RP where both the tv series for DC and Marvel are merged together and players get to take on the characters, or invent their own. Has to be tv power levels though. So no film stuff, at least to start with. We could start with putting the world together and taking it from there?

Only the cause will mean it both are merged at current points in time - or we could go from the beginning of both?

Interest?

DC
Arrow
The Flash
Legends of Tomorrow
Constantine but this is iffy as not sure I want the entire metaphysical baggage that goes with it as it gives precedence to DC's cosmology over Marvel's, which is not a good place to start. I know he made a cameo in Arrow season 4 so if someone wanted to play him, and could get the character right, then we could certainly chat about it.

Marvel
Agents of Shield
Agent Carter
Daredevil
Jessica Jones
Luke Cate, Iron Fist etc are all incoming at some future date.

Will we be able to make our own characters? I mean, I'm in either way. Just checking.

Originals, sure. No reason why not, could be more interesting in fact.
Would you rather we start as of now (where they are currently), or from the beginning? It means anyone playing Skye (Daisy) would be unpowered for instance.

Wait. Which shows are you talking about? I just realized I thought you were referring to the old cartoons, but you mentioned films so do you mean the live action series going on now? I mean, I'd be happy for either one, but if its the live action current series I'm going to have to do some catching up ^.^;

Sorry for the confusion but I was only referring to the live action stuff.

DC
Arrow
The Flash
Legends of Tomorrow
Constantine but this is iffy as not sure I want the entire metaphysical baggage that goes with it as it gives precedence to DC's cosmology over Marvel's, which is not a good place to start.

So as at this moment, I don't really want to have the film stuff around, it wouldn't fit especially when you have immortals hanging around (something the Asgard don't have access to apparently) would change the tone of the whole setting. Now at some point I may add stuff from the movies - possibly Bale Batman - or more likely leave them for another player to create from scratch. But I'd expect something more akin to Bale-Bats than anything else.

Now I may peel back additional layers and add stuff from some movies later, or add mutants at some point, but certainly not right now. Getting to grips with the characters and the world as it is should be more than enough. Having Green Arrow encounter Daredevil.

So far I have written up a small bit for player choice-

Physical Training
Not all heroes are instilled with extraordinary super abilities or possess super-science gizmos. There are some who rely entirely on their own, natural abilities. These are those that have honed their natural, physical bodies into finely tuned fighting machines that have reached the pinnacle of physical perfection. They rely on their strength, agility, skills, cunning and courage, and whose years of training and mastery of body and fighting arts have enabled them to transcend what we consider to be ordinary humans. They are physically tougher, stronger, faster and more agile than most professional athletes.

Ancient Master: You are a master of the martial arts (think old 80's series The Ninja Master or film Last Ninja, I can't think of a good one with Shaolin monks without super powers being involved, but you get the idea) - pick the art of your choice, and any edged weapon of the ancient world from swords, staffs or some kind of bow. You can use guns - but they scare you, and eschew the use of them. You are also able to use meditation to heal eight times faster, as well as other minor feats such as stopping your heart momentarily to get past heart beat sensors. At this point you’re Batman, Green Arrow - or some derivation therein, and should you decide to make a career change could easily get into Olympic level acrobatics or gymnastics.

Assassin: You are at this point Jason Bourne or Martin Blank (Grosse Point Blank) and use all the modern accoutrements whether guns, knives, or esoteric such as various poisons. Your knowledge in this field is greater than the Spy's, and quite frankly you possess a rather extensive medicine cabinet for those tricky targets. While you are not as good as a Spy at taking on identities you are quite proficient in maintaining them short term, your hand-to-hand are excellent - but nowhere near the level of an Ancient Master. Having killed most things that walk or slither, marksmanship is par excellence and you are equal to the best in the Olympics.

SpecOps: You are one of the Expendables. Able to field strip most weapons in the field, use all modern weaponry and think the Ancient Master cute for their reliance on out dated weapons and prefer the feel of bullet casings ejecting and hundreds of round hitting the target. At least you know they are dead. Your marksmanship is incredible and you are able to shoot silly faces of close range targets (think Martin Riggs from Lethal Weapon). Your size makes you incredibly durable and able to withstand impacts dished out by small vehicles, on the bright side if you wanted to change career you would have a very lucrative one in world rugby (maybe that is your cover). Are you a sniper or more of a wet work kind?

Spy: You are Michael Weston, or close to it anyway. Whereas the Ancient Master capitalises on old methods for disguise and surveillance you are the epitome of the modern and use all the high-tech gadgets you can from small spycams to miniaturised bugs. Although your skills in unarmed combat are not Ancient Master level, nor is your gun work as good as a SpecOps, you are better than most others and quite frankly able to invent good covers on the fly, forge passports, and usually have at least a dozen different identities stored in various locations with a selection of money is different currencies. This makes you able to impersonate man or woman - with some make up) and you have various artificial noses etc that most movie sets would drool over. Your personality is quite malleable and if you wanted a career change Movie Star would be a good choice.

I will have to get around to Meta's and a few other options later I guess. Bit busy right now though, guess I just wanted people to know I am putting some effort into this.
