TwilightShadow The Not-So-Great-At-Titles

Member Seen 4 yrs ago






In a time where there are flying men in a suit of iron and aliens emerging from the sky. In a time where perilous events call upon the strong to defend the weak. In a time where darkness seems to constantly linger, there needs to be a light. Only time will tell who might answer the call to be that light in the darkness… or who might make the darkness grow.

No one is born a hero. No one is born a villain. The choices you make and the actions you take define who you are. Why you do those things are what give people titles such as "hero" and "villain".
There is a thought behind every choice and a story behind every action. These are the stories of heroes, villains, and anything else in-between and for some… their beginnings. Stories of how these special, and in some cases not-so-special, people unknowingly became a part of something larger than anyone could ever imagine.




This is a high-casual, 18+ roleplay taking place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Specifically, the end of Phase 1 (The Avengers) and the beginning of Phase 2 (Iron Man 3) which would put us in the years 2012-2013.
Each character has their own personal journey/storyline they'll follow. Some of them may overlap. At some point every single character will meet each other, whether it's all at once or one at a time.
I'd recommend everyone starting off with just one character, though I will allow up to three OC's after you make at least five IC posts as your first character. I'm allowing the option to roleplay as a Marvel character that has yet to be introduced in the MCU, however, I strongly suggest creating your own OC for this roleplay. OC's that are part of the LGBTQ+ community are definitely allowed. All characters should be eighteen or older.



Just follow the rules of RPG and we should all be fine.

One thing I will add to that is you should feel okay with others controlling your characters. Obviously not in a major way. No making big character choices for other people. I mean controlling them on a smaller scale like starting a conversation with another character (if it makes sense in the story) and other things like that. Just don't god-mod (I'm pretty sure that's already an RPG rule anyway).

You don't have the be an insanely great writer (I'm bound to be a little rusty myself since I haven't done a roleplay in about three years). Just use proper grammar and make coherent sentences. Text speech (when in character) isn't allowed unless your character is texting another character. Since this is high-casual roleplay, I certainly expect more than one or two paragraphs but I'm also fine with one or two paragraphs if they're a solid length and have enough detail.

If your OC is going to have sex with someone, either "fade to black" or, since this is 18+ , don't make it too graphic. We're not here to write smut. Gore and violence follow the same "not too graphic" rule. I guess, if it has already been seen in a Marvel film or TV show (that, of course, includes the ones on Netflix) then it is allowed in this roleplay.

A majority (if not all) of the main characters in the MCU are not going to be romanceable. So, no LokixOC and stuff like that. This goes for all of the TV characters too. Depending on how this story goes we may bend this rule a bit but I doubt that'll happen.

You're not allowed to change the pasts or backstories of any characters. I don't want to see this mysterious third friend of Bucky and Steve's that vanished and somehow ended up in the 21st century or Thor's adopted sister that got transported to Earth or something like that.

As of right now, no one is becoming an Avenger. You can work for Shield or Hydra, hell you could even run into an Avenger (if it makes sense). But no one going to become an Avenger. Encountering side characters is fine and usually more believable. When we're dealing with TV characters, such as the Agents of Shield and the Defenders, that's when we start to get into some tricky territory. I'd expect an OC that's a Shield agent to know (or know of) Fitz and Simmons. I'd expect an OC that lives in Hell's Kitchen to at least know of Matt Murdock. I feel like running into to characters like those might be more likely to happen than running into Black Widow or Tony Stark. We'll discuss if anyone can join the Agents of Shield or the Defenders as the roleplay progresses.

If and when your OC comes across an already established MCU character, make sure they stay in-character. Bruce Banner wouldn't randomly pull a prank on Natasha. Tony Stark wouldn't immediately ask for help from someone if he was struggling with a project. Steve Rogers wouldn't boast about how wonderfully patriotic he is all the time. Keep them all IC.

Keep the fourth wall breaking to a minimum. None of us are Deadpool here. Speaking of Deadpool…

You can roleplay as X-Men characters that have yet to be seen in a (Disney, Fox, or Sony) Marvel film.

Last but not least, we're not going to change any of movie's plots. That doesn't mean this is going to be some kind of "self-insert" kind of roleplay. Far from that, actually. I just don't want anyone thinking that they can prevent something from happening like protecting Tony from the shrapnel that impales him or saving Loki before he lets go of Thor's hand. Our characters have their own journey they're going on while all of the stuff we see in the films are happening around us.

Okay, I lied. This is the last one… have fun! This is a roleplay based on fun movies that are based on fun comics! This roleplay needs to be fun and you, as a participant in this roleplay, should have fun as well.

@TwilightShadow Just a WIP as I concrete some stuff in my head. If you can give it a look to fix anything that you don't like, that would be great.

I'm interested. Characters that currently can't appear in the MCU, (i.e. Deadpool, X-23, Wolverine, Legion) are they allowed?

Ok. Would you prefer to discuss them here or pm them?

Like DC mentioned, the rule is

.

So far, your OC looks good to me. No changes needed at the moment. :)

I feel like we should wait like a day or two to see if anyone else joins and then we can start this roleplay.

Okay, I think it's time to start this roleplay. I'll start things off. I wrote what will serve as a bit of a prologue for my OC. It takes place after the battle of New York. You guys don't have to have a prologue for any of your characters unless you want to. It came out shorter than I thought it was going to be but the prologues that are sometimes in the Marvel movies are relatively short anyway. I do plan on making longer posts after this, though.

Anyone else that is interested in this RP can still apply even though we're starting. :)

Name: Jocelyn Beatrix Victoria Harmon
Nickname (if any): Lyn, Vic or Bea
Title or Hero/Villain/Code name (if any): Tonic
Species: Human-Mutant
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Age: 85 but looks in her 20’s
Birthday: March 24th
Personality:
FriendlyClosed OffListens WellOpinionatedHonestPacifistOutgoing


Jocelyn is friendly and a good listener as her current profession entails. She is very withdrawn when it comes to herself. She has trust issues with others men in particular. She is a pacifist and will try to talk her way out of a confrontation.
Appearance (description, doll-maker, or face-claim):



Affiliation (if any): None
Powers (if any): Tonic’s abilities are a healing touch and a healing factor as well as a poison touch. Due to the toxins that she was experimented on with. She has been able to push them to specifically her left hand. She wears a glove on that hand. The healing does not mitigate pain from the injuries but as long as the subject is still alive; heart beating even faintly, she can heal them. Her healing factor can heal non-vital injuries within minutes but takes longer on mortal wounds. Consequently she can heal and harm at once. She is practically immune to poisons, diseases, and aging; which is reduced to a fraction of what it should be. Unfortunately it is also practically impossible for her to get drunk or high; she tried that route to deal with her nightmares. This also applies to fatigue poisons which gives her increased stamina and endurance. Which in turn allows her to run for longer periods of time, not faster just longer.
Weapon(s) (if any): None
Weaknesses:
People that are injured or Tortured
Good looking intelligent men
Guns

Likes (optional):
Animals
Downton Abby (Reminds her of her youth)
Helping Others
Fast Vehicles
Dancing
Art

Dislikes (optional):
Narrow Mindedness
Confrontation
Arguments
Death
Misogynists
Guns
Experimentation on animals or people

Current Residence: Apartment in Manhattan, NY.
Backstory (if you plan on revealing your OC's backstory in the RP, either skip this or keep it vague): Jocelyn Victoria Beatrix Harmon was born in 1933 and on her 10th birthday she fell down stairs getting to a bomb shelter in the town house they were living in. her mother broke her ankle for all of a minute. Jocelyn used her powers to heal her mother. As her powers presented themselves her parents were horrified. Turning her over to an agency that stated that they’d take care of her and that the “incident” would never be spoken of. Jocelyn was taken to Canada and experimented on as a side project of the Weapon X Program. She was genetically manipulated hundreds of times but the only one that took was a healing factor from another experiment. She was then put through more experimentation to see how well the healing both her original and the added gene worked. Needless to say she was tortured and saw others tortured. She escaped as one of the other experiments destroyed the place and somehow by luck was not discovered. She was 16 at the time but looked like she was 12. On the run she went from Canada into the US and went from school to school running just as she managed to find out someone was after her. She had a hard life but things got easier in the 1960’s about 20 years after she got into the US. She started waitressing to earn money to keep moving from town to town about every 7 to 10 years or so on the outside; at times she had to move sooner. She made sure that she was paid under the table so that she could disappear if she thought things were getting rough. Jocelyn realized that she’d have to get an identity every so often and knows a few people that she keeps in contact with and every so often she’d have a new identity made up. Eventually when computers were the new thing she started to learn how to hack into systems and be able to produce her own identification and background information that people were asking for. She attended a small colleges and has several degrees in computer technologies, C++ and Programing. She also has a Nursing Degree. Sadly even though it’s all her it is under pseudonyms. She was able to finally track down what happened to her in Canada and after almost 65 years she has a clue and that is the name “James Howlett”. When that name lead her on a wild goose chase she gave up. She applied and works as a part time bartender for a local bar.
Special Skills (if any): Dancing, Tai Chi, Judo, Karate and Parkour.
Other: Alias; Lynn Hamm, Victoria Joy, Joyce Han, Beatrice Harmon, Vicki Harmon, Joyce Victory most recently Joy Harmon
