"I'm a man of two worlds, and I think my powers are out of control. My name is Axel Asher, super people call me Access. I come from a universe of mutants and heroes like Captain America and Iron Man. Mickey Mouse is a big thing on this Earth. For the last several years though I've been living two lives. One here, and one there... The other Earth is a little more grim. The Justice League and something called the Teen Titans protect this Earth and you've got guys like Superman and the Flash running around. Bugs Bunny is the talking animal on tv over there and nobody really uses the word mutant. 'Metahuman' is what they dub anyone with powers, alien, monster, or otherwise.

I tried living two lives and I have a job and a girlfriend in NYC in my universe, as well as another job in Metropolis over there. Now my powers seem to be out of control and I'm finding what I called Amalgams on another alternate Earth I don't remember creating. I'm pretty sure it's one omnipotent Amalgam and his allies making it all happen. I can't defeat them on my own. Will you help me?"



Amalgam Comics was something that happened back in the 90's that partnered DC and Marvel to make interesting character combos. Examples include Dark Claw [Batman + Wolverine], Super Soldier [Superman + Capt. America], and Amazon [Wonder Woman + Storm]. There were a few mini series that came out later on with Axel/Access as the main protagonist which saw the birth of several new Amalgams like Quickfreeze [Impulse + Iceman] and Emerald Eye [Green Lantern + Cyclops], but none of them ever got a one-shot like the first two waves of Amalgam Comics that served as it's own universe/cannon. This RP will take ques from them all and see the players creating their own Amalgams to help Access separate the bad Amalgams in this new universe and send them back to their respective universes.



We'll also have to deal with the villain who created this alternate universe, a combination of Darkseid and the Red Skull w/the Cosmic Cube...



If you don't know enough about either universe I implore you to just Google it, search for original Amalgams. It's how I found a few peoples' attempts at making Dark Skull, the one above just being my favorite. It was the main inspiration for this RP! Really though, there's some cool stuff out there like Deathpool [Deathstroke + Deadpool], Thunder Dragon [Capt. Marvel/Shazam + Iron Fist, I'd have called the guy Thunder Fist...], and Pete Grayson [Dick Grayson Robin/Nightwing + Spiderman] no other aliases were given for this image but it's genius. Feel free to elaborate on any of these guys with a CS, create your own, go nuts with it. All of our heroes will presumable be from the same All New Amalgam Universe so be sure to note anything important from accepted Character Sheets. For example my character will have Beast from the X-Men combined with somebody. So he'll get his start at the Xavier Institute for Young Metahumans [this could be used for Pete Grayson too, just saying!].

Right now I'm just tossing the idea out there to test the waters since both of my current RP's have slowed down dramatically. If there's any interest I'll post a Character Sheet model. Looking for the usual 6-10 players total, but know I'm gonna be a lot more selective of players with this RP. If you're bad for dropping out, disappearing, or completely ignoring @ tags and PM's... don't waste my time or the time of the other players.

~KL~

This seems pretty cool, I like the idea of combining two heroes to make a new one. I'd like to put forward my interest.

Interested. I might try doing a Green Lantern/Nova character

I'll work on a CS template since I'm up early. Should have it posted soon.

~KL~

Here it is! I'm gonna wait to see what our roster looks like before elaborating on the forces of Dark Skull. I'm currently debating which sort of Amalgam I wanna make since I've come up with at least a dozen since posting this iCheck last night...

After a few years Matt was able to board a ship passing the island which happened to be dumping toxic waste into the water. The swim to the ship had exposed him to the toxic waste and heightened his senses greatly. With his newfound abilities he joined the league of assassins as a young corrupted soul. His first task was to assassinate Stick. Stick saw potential in the boy and prevented his own death and took the boy under his wing, saving them both. With training to hone his senses and in martial arts Matt was able to go on his own. This newly inspired will to help people inspired Matt to go to Law school, he now works as a lawyer by day and vigilante hero by night, defending Hell's Kitchen the best he can.
Supporting cast/characters: TENTATIVE: Deadeye, Elektra Kyle
Amalgam Universe Notes: Matt CAN see, his senses are just heightened to an extent where they can be easily overwhelmed. Too much of a vice is a virtue in any case of his senses.

DC/Marvel Characters Used: DC's Black Canary & Marvel's Dagger
Name: Tandy Lance
Alias: Black Dagger
Age: 18
Powers: Has the ability to form 'light daggers' that can stun targets and force them to confront the darkness inside of them. The daggers can also heal and cure addictions. She can also use the power of her sonic scream, called the 'Canary Cry'. Lastly, she is a skilled martial artist and dancer, incorporating both in her fights.
Weaknesses: As a user of light, she can be extremely vulnerable to darkness and those that wield darkness. She is also unable to use her Canary Cry if gagged or hindered by those that can manipulate sound.
Team Affiliation: None, she's a vigilante
Personality: Caring, Tough, Daring, Thrill-Seeking, Loyal
Appearance:
BRIEF Bio: With her mother dead when she was young and her father an abusive alcoholic, Tandy ran away from home as soon as she felt she could handle the streets. New York proved tough, but she found a home with a local crime lord. Unbeknownst to Tandy, the man only wanted her along with a few other runaways as test dummies for his new drug. Before Tandy could escape, she was drugged. This morphed her and she found she could control light and use her ultra-sonic scream. She tested her new powers on some local criminals, making quick work of them. She also found out she could heal and help others with her light daggers. With her new powers, she donned the name "Black Dagger" and set out as a vigilante to help rid the streets of crime and protect those, as she herself would have needed protection.
Supporting cast/characters: WIP (gonna wait until others come forward with their characters. Willing to work with others, but I don't want to step on any toes)
Amalgam Universe Notes: WIP

I will pretty this up come time, but I wanted the basics put in stone.

I should go ahead and note, appearance wise most Amalgams only look to be created using two characters. Some are actually more than that depending on how the lore is altered. For example, Charles Xavier is Doctor Strangefate. Since Scarlet Bow's hair is black rather than blonde or red, I'd tie him to Merlyn as well and not just DD and GA.

~KL~

@DreadPirate@FantasyChic

Both CS's are looking good so far. I'm working on my Universe Boy now, as well as a bit about Universe Man. 'Reign of the Universe Men' will be going on and Universe Boy will be the Superboy equivalent. Some version of Bizzaro Universe Man will likely be on Dark Skull's team. You guys can elaborate on your histories as well so we have something to draw on when coming up with more badguys!

That's what I've got so far. In the image is Universe Boy and the currently deceased Universe Man.

~KL~

@banjoanjo your sig is addicting to just look at. Just random FYI for ya.

Anyways give me a shower and dinner making to dwell on what I'll do.

DC/Marvel Characters Used: Marvel's Dr. Strange and DC's John Constantine
Name: Stephen S. Constantine
Alias: Dr. Constantine
Age: 33
Powers: Dr. Constantine is one of Earth's foremost magicians, and has learned a great number of spells over the years. He also has a few magical artifacts, the most notable are his trenchcoat which allows him to levitate, and his cigarette lighter which helps counter other spells.
Weaknesses: Magic spells require him to use his hands and his voice, he is unable to cast them without them being unimpeded. Dr. Constantine is an average man in less than peak physical condition, he isn't any more durable than any other person off the street. He is prone to cowardice, and prefers to run away when it looks like the situation is getting bad.
Team Affiliation: None
Personality: Cunning, Adaptable, Cynical, Sarcastic, Generous
Appearance:

BRIEF Bio: Stephen's father was a magician and habitual petty criminal, the amount of trouble he got it led Stephen to take a different track. Stephen worked hard and went to medical school, eventually becoming a surgeon. However, a car accident damaged his hands severly and jeopardized his career. He turned to his fathers old ways, intent on making a living offering magical cures for people's ailments. Unfortunately for Stephen, magic is not always consistent and little respected, and he acquired a reputation as a charlatan, eventually losing to him being stripped of his license to practice medicine. Now Dr. Constantine makes his living as an occult specialist, dealing with those who have problems of a mystical nature.
Supporting cast/characters: [WIP]
Amalgam Universe Notes: [WIP]

So far [assuming all CS's are completed] the cast would include: Scarlet Arrow, Universe Boy, Black Dagger, Dr. Constantine, and Drew's working on a Fist of Shazam as far as I know. That's a pretty damn good start. Gonna have to make sure the enemies are of equal badassery.

Still plenty of room for anybody lurking!

~KL~

Not officially, I'm also considering the Mr. Awesome (Mr. Terrific and Mr. Fantastic) or something else, or just doing an RP on that idea I had in the PM too on my own. Thus showing what a indecisive turncoat I can be.

@DreadPirate Not sure what your plans are, but since we got the Green Arrow and Black Canary in ours, perhaps our characters know of each other? Up to you, could be handy to have some established relationships.

@DrewVonAwesome Found a few more ideas:

Cyborg + Ironman



Beast Boy + Reptil



More Nightwing + Spiderman



~KL~

Couple more before I head to work...

Nightwing + Winter Soldier



Wonder Woman + Wonderman



~KL~

Bump. Where ya'll at?!?

~KL~

Oh man that number 3 Nightspider design is so cool... God dammit... I might have too.
