This is a world of wonders. Gods, aliens, and mutants walk the Earth. These powered individuals will often use their powers for their own benefit or to help others. These beings became known as supervillains and superheroes respectively. These heroes and villains first showed up during World War II, with heroes like Captain America captivating the public’s attention. In the decades following the war, the existence of mutants became public knowledge. Anti-mutant groups like the Friends of Humanity would quickly form as superheroes were lowered in public opinion.
This would change with the dawn of a new era of heroes. From the Spider-Man of New York City to the return of Captain America, heroes would once again be valued. This new influx of heroes would result in the formation of many teams like the Fantastic Four, X-Men, and the Avengers. While these heroes were busy fighting crime, they were watched over by SHIELD, a global defense agency. For many years this setup would work as heroes regularly saved the world. But that would change one year ago.
Captain America, leader of the Avengers, would discover that the terrorist organization HYDRA was secretly in control of SHIELD and had been manipulating world events. The many heroes of Earth would team up to defeat HYDRA, capturing most of its leaders. In the wake of this crisis, SHIELD would be disbanded. The planet was now left with a large hole in security.
Captain America would then be approached by Nick Fury, former head of SHIELD. After the two spoke, Cap would decide to expand the Avengers into a global agency. Captain America would then recruit many former and new members to the Avengers in what was known as the Unlimited Initiative. The first squad of these new Avengers teams would be based in New York City, operating out of the old Avengers Mansion.
So basically I wanted to run a Marvel RP with a focus on playing as Canon characters. You could play these characters as straight up like their comics or MCU version or reinvent them in some way. Also Original characters are acceptable but they should be a minority as I do want a Canon focus. This would be a good RP to try out some character you don’t know. Here is a list of canon Avengers members. You can play as canons who haven’t been Avengers before as long as it would make sense for them to be a potential member.
The lore for this RP is meant to be vague at the beginning as it will be greatly informed by what characters are being played and how they’re being reinvented. A character currently off limits is Steve Rogers, as he would be busy running the Avengers organization. You could still play as Captain America, but it would have to be Sam or Bucky. Also I’m planning on playing as Human Torch, the original android version.
So would anyone be interested in this kind of Marvel RP? Please post any questions and potential character choices below.
