Actually v.interested to see which characters Stein would go for. Never took him for a comics RP guy.


Oh and to wrap back to this: I'm deciding between Elijah Snow and Jakita Wagner. Aaaand I know we're supposed to keep it DC/Marvel but I was even thinking about Baal from the Wicked + Divine.

You weren't the only one. I originally thought Hellboy (also Spawn) was Marvel.

Nah but Spawn has crossed over with Marvel Characters before and Angela came from the Spawn Universe and was like retconned into Thor's sister or something.

Either way, we're open to characters and properties who would fit but the focus of the game is on Marvel and DC.

@Stein this is exactly why I asked if it went to far. As for "Reading like it was written by a racist white guy" that's because or was the 50's and that was almost everyone in television at that time was, a racist white guy. Hell, this was a time when, if a coloured actor won an Oscar, they weren't allowed to go to the award ceremony.

Apart from that, I think you hit the nail on the head with the rest of it.

Honestly, you should have at least private messaged one of the GMs and asked if your post went too far. Instead of posting it in the IC and then asking if it was too far because that post was horrible (Stein did a good job explaining why it was bad). I am sure that one of them would have helped you out.

EDIT: Also, its person of color not colored person.

Alright so, no.

1.) Admitting that there's a problem with the post and how it's received, then immediately following it with a justification of how it was written is bull.

2.) I didn't say it "read like it was written by a racist white guy" I said John Stewart's portion "read more like a racist white guy doing blackface." As in, not the writing, but the character itself felt hammed up and caricatured to the point where it seemed more like a white person donning black face and playing the role of John Stewart rather than a black person.

3.) It's not written that way because "everyone in the 50's was a racist white guy," it's written that way because it's not written well. Re: my 'Leave it to Beaver vs. Uncle Tom's Cabin' comment. Do you understand what I'm getting at? Put simply: one of the errors in that post was taking racist depictions of a black person from the late 1800's and placing it in the 1950's. Those racist white guy writers didn't lean into stereotypes to such a degree.

Stop trying to justify the post. I'm pretty sure your intent is understood and what you were trying to do. That's not the issue. The issue is that is wasn't done well or with the amount of tact that would make something like that read well.

EDIT: And really? Coloured person? Really, hun?

Baal from the Wicked + Divine.


My god...the possibilities.

My first thought is literal actual incarnations of ancient deities is too OP. But also we have Thor? So like...fuck yeah

The Wicked + Divine is fantastic. I'd recommend you read it, but apparently you don't read...

Ooooo girl.

Okay so the Wicked + Divine is a comic series placed in a version of Earth where the gods that have been worshiped throughout history are actually incarnated into people. Gods like Lucifer, Ametarasu, Sakhmet, Persephone, Poseidon, etc. Baal is one of the characters in the series and besides him being AN ABSOLUTE FUCKING SNACK

he's a pretty interesting individual.

HOWEVER, I don't know how he'd do in this setting.

EDIT: I didn't know the picture would be that big but....I guess I'm a size queen even unintentionally.

I mean, we have gods and such in this world. What's a few more to add to the mix? Just take the American Gods approach to it and have them all be "rejuvenated" versions.
