During World War II superhumans and costumed heroes became a staple of American culture much in the same way the genre is in today's world. However, in this world they actually existed in both eras and superheroes worked with the Allied forces to defeat Hitler and his superhuman Axis Army. Now, the great grandchildren of heroes long past their prime take up the reigns to combat against the forces of the Fourth Reich.

In the year 2000, the Fourth Reich began to build their army. With their own genetically modified superhuman dubbing himself the 'Master Man' leading the way with his flight, strength, and durability, it wasn't long before the new army came into power and occupied several areas of Europe. Several superpowered freedom fighters have made headlines in Paris, Rome, and Spain such as the Knight, Spartan, and the Whip.



In the year 2017, Master Man and his forces invaded the United States' capital, Washington D.C. When the superhuman war came to the nation's doorstep, the superhumans, vigilantes, and even the superpowered criminals of the generation came together to fight the Nazi supermen. In this RP, players can take inspiration from cannon characters from WWII or create their own original legacy in the story of how even the criminals of the nation fight against the country's enemies. However, you can also opt to make a supervillain on the side of the Fourth Reich. All heroes and legacies except for a few bigger names are up for reinterpretation. Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Captain America, Green Lantern, and the Flash are all off the table however if you want there's still tons of similar characters out there like the Whizzer for the Flash, Ms. America for Wonder Woman, folks like Patriot could stand in for Capt. America, etc.



I'm taking inspiration from the Rocketeer myself and making the grandson of the original the new man in the rocket pack.

Just testing the waters with an iCheck for now because my last two haven't amounted to much in terms of interest leading to completed Character Sheets and an OOC. I'm hoping the WWII / WWIII themes and creating a legacy is a bit more appealing than standard superhero team RP's. Looking for a team of around 6-8 players including myself with a wide range of characters. If there's a lot more interest in playing invaders in the Fourth Reich I may accept more players for this.

But again, just looking for some interest now and then I'll get to posting Character Sheet requirements. Looking for high casual standards with this one! Who's ready to go to war with Nazi superhumans?!?

Legacy: The Golden Girl/Red She-Hulk Legacy

WW II Predecessor: Elizabeth "Betsy/Betty" Ross Mace aka Golden Girl
Red She-Hulk (also named Betty Ross, then Betty Talbot, and finally Betty Banner) was their grand niece and is her mother.
Name: Kayon Elizabeth "Lizzie" Ross

Alias: Krush

Relationship to Predecessor: Great-Great-Grand Niece to Golden Girl and Daughter to Red She-Hulk

Age: 22

Powers/Skills/Equipment: As Red She-Hulk, she possesses superhuman strength, endurance and durability. She also has a healing factor enabling her to recover from virtually any injury – even when her more vulnerable human form is on the brink of death – as long as she transforms before her body expires. Because she was born while her mother was Red She-Hulk, it is difficult for her to revert to a human form.

Weaknesses: Intense radiation reverses her state and makes her an unpowered human.

Appearance:


Predecessor's History:
Elizabeth "Betsy" Ross played a pivotal role in the life of Earth's greatest hero Captain America. A government agent during the course of World War II she later became the costumed hero known as Golden Girl and fought alongside the wartime replacements of Captain America over the years.

As Red She-Hulk, Betty, Golden Girl's grand niece, joined Hulk, Skaar, A-Bomb, and Korg in their fight against the Abomination, as well as a Zom-possessed Doctor Strange, and the forces of Amatsu-Mikaboshi. After the Chaos War saga Betty again goes on the run, with Bruce who discovered that her gamma levels are unstable and that if she transforms just a few more times, she may be permanently stuck in her Red She-Hulk form.
BRIEF Bio:
While her mother was on the run as Red She-Hulk and very very married to Bruce Banner, a sort of passionate love-them-and-leave-them affair happened. It was brief, destructive and ignored till Kayon came around. Named for the Indonesian area in which she was born, the large and strong red-skinned child was left in the care of islanders.

Her mother sent letters, but as people usually prone to do with unwanted memories, Kayon was forgotten about. Without knowledge of who her birth father was, the young girl grew up resenting her family. Until a retired Golden Girl showed up. The woman didn't tell her she was family, but stayed with her and taught her more about herself than any letter from her mother ever had.

But when the third world war broke out, Betsy Ross told her great-great-grand niece everything. About how her nephew turned himself into the Red Hulk just to fight her mother's husband, the green-skinned Hulk. And how that awful fate had been thrust upon Kayon's mother. And now it was born into Kayon herself. But instead of lamenting her cruel fate, the old woman also told her of heros that also ran through her veins. Of Patriot, who always fought for justice, just like the famed Captain America. And of Golden Girl, who used every ounce of good in her being to bring down evil and vile creatures like the Nazis.

Empowered by her relative and by the desire to protect her island from the fate that would surely befall it if the new breed of evil were to spread, Kayon renamed herself Krush. And she vowed to do everything in her monstrous power to help heros like her predecessors to bring down the vile sickness growing in the west.

Additional Notes: While most hulks are humans who turn into hulks, she is reversed and finds difficulty in turning into a human.

Legacy: the Rocketeer
WW II Predecessor: Cliff Seacord [1940's], Michael Korben [1970's and 80's]
Name: John Korben
Alias: the Rocketeer III
Relationship to Predecessor: Great nephew of Seacord. Oldest son of Michael Korben.
Age: 28
Powers/Skills/Equipment:

* Rocket pack that can reach speeds of 220 mph. Recently coated with strange
unbreakable alien alloy to make the rocket pack more durable.

* Carries a pair of custom 'Silver Heat' .45's.

Weaknesses: Standard human weaknesses for anyone in light body armor.

Appearance:



Predecessor's History: Seacord fought Nazi invaders in the 40's along with members of the Justice Society as well as the occasional supervillain. His nephew Michael eventually found the rocketpack, coated it with an unbreakable alloy, and used it himself in the 70's and 80's as more of a rights activist superhero for the people.


BRIEF Bio:

John Korben was a 90's kid from Ohio and knew about his father's heroic exploits in the 70's and 80's as the second Rocketeer. It wasn't until graduating high school in '07 that John learned his great uncle was also called the Rocketeer back during WWII and helped the Allied forces. Originally just toying around with the rocketpack and flying it around on weekends, the closer the time of invasion came the harder John trained. Playing sports in high school had kept him in relatively good shape, and he was currently enrolled in community college after taking a few years off from the books choosing to stay closer to home after his father had become ill. However John had taken to shooting guns at some point and became a crack shot even when flying at near top speeds in the rocketpack.

The invasion of D.C. came seemingly from nowhere. Within minutes the Axis army of Master Man teleported into the region, while other Nazi superhumans deactivated the nation's nuclear weapons. The armies marched on DC for days killing all those who would stand against them, and Master Man himself executed the President on live television ripping the woman in half.

The military and National Guard have tried for weeks to make a way back into the capital and gain ground but their efforts have all amounted to nothing. If the human armies of the Axis/Nazi superhumans falter one of the superhuman generals steps in.

John knew where he was needed and had an ex girlfriend on the other side of Virginia who could give him safe passage and a place to stay. Using more lightweight armor and a new helmet of his own design, John flew into action as the newest ROCKETEER.

Additional Notes: Gave a few details about the day Master Man and his Nazi/Axis forces teleported into the nation's capital.

Legacy: Sargon the Sorcerer/Sargon the Sorcerer II
WW II Predecessor: Sargon the Sorcerer
Name: Marcus Sargent
Alias: Sargon the Sorcerer
Relationship to Predecessor: Son of Sargon the Sorcerer II, Great Grandson to Sargon the Sorcerer
Age: 28
Powers/Skills/Equipment: Marcus possess the Ruby of Life which grants him the ability to control and reshape what he touches. He is also a skilled sorcerer allowing him to perform amazing feats as long as he has enough time to perform the required spell. Before inheriting the Ruby of Life Marcus tried his hand at stage magic. Nothing like what he is known for now, but rather sleight of hand, midsection and the normal assortment escape artist stunts.
Weaknesses: He is no more durable than a normal human and his spells take varying amount of time to cast making some of them unviable during actual combat.
Appearance:

Predecessor's History: David Sargent, the second Sargon, dropped out of college and became a drifter. The man lacked in real direction in his life. While drifting he was sought out by the Ruby of Life, guided by his grandfather, in hopes that he would follow in his footsteps. David kept to mystical emergencies rather than dealing with normal criminals or even the war in Europe until he sacrificed himself in hell to allow several other heroes to escape the pit. It wasn’t until after his death did he become aware that he had gotten a woman pregnant during his time as a drifter. So, much like his grandfather before him he sent the Ruby of Life to the last of the Sargent line so that Sargon would live again.
BRIEF Bio: Marcus lived with his mother and knew nothing about his father or his ties to the supernatural. Early life was simple and as happy as it could be with a mother devoted to making more of herself and certain that she didn’t need any help from a drifter to raise her son. That was until Marcus was nearly ten years old and he was woken in the middle of the night by a ruby floating above him as he lay in bed. It told him about his great grandfather and then his father after that. It spoke of World War Two, monsters, demons, Nazis, hell and even the nature of sacrifice. His great grandfather was trapped in purgatory and his father would never be free from the pits of hell, but now it was his turn to choose. Would he take up the ruby and do as those two damned men had or would he turn and hide from his responsibility as his grandfather had done?

His mother hadn’t needed any help raising a son that would do the right thing and somedays she regretted that. Marcus had accepted the Ruby of Life and went on a journey of discovery. Discovery of the self, horror, power, responsibility, and above all else, sacrifice. He learned many lessons as a teen and Europe burned under the heel of Master Man. As much as he wanted to help the European countries he knew he wasn’t ready. Even when the war had finally come to America he wasn’t sure he was ready, but now he was out of time and it was time to join the fight.

Additional Notes: Like his father before him the Ruby of Life is imbedded in his chest.

I'm going to pick a villian. I'll be posting a CS here in a few. She'll be a Poison Ivy legacy, is that fine?

Yeah that's cool. Just remember the possibilities are limitless. Since this is a reimagined universe you can alter the characters any way you need that doesn't involve the short list of characters who're off limits.

I need someone's opinion on which idea is better since I'm really indecisive

Either a reimagining of the Crimson Dynamo or a Gentleman rifleman with some sort of technical, mystical or alien advantage over an average human.
