@Jove
Since this is it's own continuity, which does take elements from comics and movies, I feel that having a set age can help shape the canon of this RP.

@Dark Cloud
Deadpool has indeed been an Avenger. Even if he wasn't in the comics I would probably still allow him as anti-heroes are allowed as long as they could reasonably be an Avengers in the comics.

@Moonlit Ghost
Well someone else decided to go into a lot of depth for their history. The only issue I have is that you didn't state your relationship to Nick Fury. If you add a sentence or two, then Gwen is approved.

@Ultimate Spidey
You still interested in playing Blink? If you add how she joined the Avengers then she is approved.

@Ruby @Moonlit Ghost @Rekker
Are you guys still interested in participating? We've still got plenty of openings.

Apologies! I just saw this. (I'm way more responsive on Discord.)

THAT is an interesting cast of characters.

I'm not sure I'd know who to throw in that team. If you have any ideas I'm all ears. lol (That only idea that springs to mind is Spitfire.)

@Ruby
Thanks for replying. We do have a discord server, it's linked in the first OOC post.
As for characters I am surprised that you considered Spitfire. I thought that she was too obscure.
As for other recommendations on characters, here is a list.
Classic Avengers:
- Iron Man
- Hulk
- Ant-Man
- Wasp
Powerhouse Avengers:
- Sentry
- She-Hulk
- Hercules
- Ares
Regular Human Avengers:
- Hawkeye
- Mockingbird
- Two-Gun Kid
- Hellcat
Space Related Avengers:
- Darkhawk
- Mantis
- Quasar
- Machine Man

Honestly there a lot more interesting Avengers, but that's just a small sample.

I've been thinking about characters and wanted to run a few by you.

Rage from New Warriors, although reworked as a Super Soldier rather than Toxic Waste exposure

The Golden Dragon, as a pastiche of the Iron Fist gang and the Bronze Tiger character from DC (a Richard Dragon ally/enemy)

Wolverine (because goddam if I don't love me some Wolveriner)

I'm a fairly massive comic nerd who grew up going to old school comic cons.

Pre-cosplay, even. Gasp. I'll give it a hard think and join the server.

I bet you'd write a good Logan.

@BangoSkank
Wolverine would definitely be acceptable. So would Rage (though I admit that I had to look him up as I've never really read New Warriors.) But I am going to say no to Golden Dragon.

@Ruby
Cool, cool. I have been advised that the discord link is down, so here it is: https://discord.gg/95AfqFtJ.
I'll also edit it into the first post.

Real Name: Thor Odinson

Codename: Thor

Age: 1500

Gender: Male

Appearance:

Personality:Thor is a spirited warrior who has a strong belief in doing the right thing and protecting all innocent people within the nine realms. He loves a good battle & craves the glory of engaging with powerful enemies both for the love of fighting & the end result of defeating evil threats. He is the epitome of bravery leaping or flying head-first into danger without thought or concern for himself only those he aims to protect. He's very loyal to all he considers friends, and is ruthless when it comes to dealing with foes. Outside of his work as an avenger & asgardian prince both of which he takes very seriously, he enjoys mingling with people. He's very social and when not fighting aliens, androids, criminal superhumans & monsters he can be found drinking merrily with comrades & strangers alike. He has a very special fondness for midgard, especially it's women & can be a romantic when in relationships.

Powers/Abilities: Thor is a powerful being inherting powers from both sides of his parentage, those being Odin & the earth mother Gaea. He is known as both the asgardian god of thunder & asgardian god of strength.
--Superhuman Strength
--Superhuman Speed
--Superhuman Durability
--Superhuman Agility & Reflexes
--Eternal Longevity
--Weather Manipulation
--Flight
--Super Breath
--All Speak
--Earth Manipulation {{Inherited from Gaea}}
--Portal Generation {w/Mjolnir]
--Energy Projection & Absorption {{w/Mjolnir}}
--God Blasts {{w/Mjolnir}}
--Odinforce Manipulation

History: Thor was born as a child of Odin & Gaea with a great destiny ahead of himself. From a young age he was raised to be upright & moral something that was instilled into him by Odin & his adoptive mother Frigga. The truth about his mother was kept hidden from him by Odin who'd moved on from Gaea both because of the fire of their relationship thinning out & some questionable moral choices she's made in her dealings with the titans & the olympian gods. He developed a taste for combat & battle at a young age, going on quests as early as his teenage years with Lady Sif, Valkyrie & the Warriors Three to quell evil beings & threats to the natural order of the realms.

One realm which he fell in love with upon first sight was that of Midgard, or what humans would come to know as earth. In the older days of humanity during his ventures to the realm of man him, his father & his people came to be worshipped by the Vikings as the gods of nordic mythology. They praised the gods for their many good deeds when present on earth fighting off frost giants, trolls & other supernatural beasts that had clawed their way to the earth hoping to enslave & rule over humanity. These escapades on earth only bolstered his popularity among the vikings & cemented his place as one of the most popular gods of the nordic pantheon among the vikings & others who came to worship him during his visitors to earth in earlier/ancient times.

Eventually in modern times due to the manipulations of his jealous mischievous adopted brother Loki & his own hot headedness he was coerced into clashing with Odin over their policies in reining in order over the realms. Thor's attitude was that of swinging his mystic hammer raining down lightning first, asking questions later. Egged on by Loki to continue his path of might makes right over Odin's instructions culminated in him receiving divine retribution in the form of godly punishment from his father.

He was stripped off his godhood & banished to earth as a mortal, cast down to his beloved midgard alongside his hammer. There he was given the guise of Donald Blake, and purged of his memories of divinity. He went on to become complete his doctorate & became a medical doctor opting to save lives in a different manner then he did as a hero. Thus despite his lack of powers & memories he still chose a path in life that led to him saving lives. In one such case he was selected to operate on an injured Spiderman after he had a climatic battle with the sinister six. He was part of a group of doctors who followed an unspoken pact to provide medical treatment for the heroes of the big apple when required without jeopardizing their secret identities or even removing their masks unless it was required for applying medical treatment.

Unfortunately his treatment of Mr. Parker was far from a standard operation. The evil alien symbiote Carnage attacked the hospital shortly after the doctors finished operating on Spidey. Not wanting to leave the recuperating web-slinger to fend for himself he grabbed his walking cane & attempted to defend the hero. This resulted in him being fatally injured in his failed attempt to play hero to New York's hero. This act of selfishness however was all that was required of him by Odin to prove himself worthy of his divinity once more.

This caused a resurgence of both his memories, divine physique & powers whilst also shifting his cane into the form of his mighty hammer. Donald Blake was flooded with several centuries of memories of his former divine life as the god of thunder as his heart beat slowed & he was on the steps of entering Valhalla to rest with the other great warriors of Asgard who'd fought for righteousness over the eons.

Furthermore he learned that Loki had restored & delivered the symbiote to Kassidy in exchange for taking Thor's life whilst he was trapped in his mortal coil. From there he convened with Lady Sif & the warriors three who had missed their friend & comrade in arms greatly. He learned that his father was in the midst of slumber in the odinsleep which is why Loki had chosen to act now against his foster brother to take his life. Luckily for him even with the allfather counting divine sheep this had no effect on the worthiness enchantment nor the effects of the spell cast on him that rendered him mortal in the first place.

However his brother did not give up on his vengeance there, and has assumed control of the throne of Asgard in lieu of Thor's entrapment on Midgard. He dispatched the mighty Destroyer to level the hospital Blake worked at upping his game to eradicate him & the mortals he'd grown closest with as Donald Blake. One of those was the dashingly beautiful & intelligent Jane Foster. Spurred on by his romantic feelings for Jane & desire to protect the denizens of Midgard he rose to the occassion battling the godly war machine & besting it in combat saving the lives of the humans his trickster brother had targeted. However he decided to play possum taking a page out of his brother's book conning the mischief god to coming down to earth to examine his handy work himself.

Thor sprung a trap on Loki & engaged him in battle. His mighty power was more then a match for his brother's asgardian magic. He defeated Loki & sought to bring him to justice. To his chagrin Loki escaped his custody & fled to the deepest corners of earth. Shortly after Odin arose from his slumber he was proud to learn Thor had proven himself worthy of his powers & enchanted hammer, but was saddened to learn of Loki's deceit & heinous actions he'd taken on midgard. He was ostracized & branded a criminal with an order to be brought to justice at the high courts of Asgard.

Odin even apologized to Thor not for rendering him mortal to humble him, but for not realizing the role Loki played in pitting the two against each other & putting him in a position to where he was almost slaughtered by him in the process. With that he was well on his way to being the king of Asgard again, but THor decided that he had much to learn & further to go before he assumed the throne. He decided to become a hero of earth fighting for truth, & justice. He became one of the founding members of the Avengers when Loki decided to show his face again working in tandem with the vicious alien race known as the Chitauri to conquer the planet.

With the help of his newfound friends & team-mates, the trickster was foiled once again. This time however Loki was not able to evade capture & had Heimdall personally use the power of the bifrost to scoop Loki up & transport him to the dungeons of Asgard. He officially retired from his position as a doctor at the hospital cashing his last pay-check & going to work for the Avengers. He moved into their head-quarters & with his position as a prince of asgard as well as his powers he had an abundance of wealth to support himself as a superhero & continue to fight for the innocent.

Supporting Cast:

Odin - The Allfather of nordic mythology & king of Asgard. The wise one eyed king of asgard with his mystical bird perched on his shoulder. He is a great father to Thor & Loki, as well as a semi-faithful wife to Frigga. He instills a strong sense of morality in Thor & has/continues to offer him guidance in all his endeavours he partakes in across the nine realms. While he does bare some concern for Thor's overly ambitious affinity towards getting involved with matters on Midgard he still supports him. Still he wishes for him to divide his attention among the realms equally so that he may one day rise to be the next allfather & protector/peace-keeper of the realms.

Lady Sif: A fellow warrior of Asgard one of whom Thor's had an on & off relationship with. He admires her vibrant personality, love for battle, strong drink & readiness for adventure. The two have tangled with many mystical monsters, demons, giants, wizards/witches, bitter gods & rogue superhumans over the centuries. With his true nature regained & abilities restored he made short work of Carnage, defeating him & ripping the villainous symbiote off Cletus Kassidy before taking it high into the atmosphere to atomize the evil alien parasite.

Jane Foster: Thor's mortal love whom he fell for while he was in the guise of Donald Blake, a mortal medical doctor without his powers & divine memories. He grew close to her during this time & started a genuine relationship. He grew very fond of Jane Foster & she represented everything that he loved about the residents of Midfgard. After regaining his powers during a bout with Carnage he still retained his feelings for her that he built up while dating her as Donald Blake. He continued his relationship with her when he became a superhero & resumed being Thor, the god of thunder.

Extra/Notes:
Theme Song: Remember The Name

@Chulance
Thor is accepted. Please move the sheet to the characters tab.

And with that I'll start on the first IC post. @Ruby and @BangoSkank still have time to finish their character sheets as the first IC post will leave time for other Avengers to show up.

Birth Name:James Howlett

Codename: Wolverine/Logan/Patch/Weapon X

Age: 80+ Estimated

Gender: Male

Appearance: Subject is 5'3 and 300 pounds. Much of this weight being derived from his Adamantium skeleton. Short, well-muscled, hairy, often angry. Long hair and sideburns make subject stick out but when subject shaves those away it can be difficult to track visually.

Personality:
Subject is resolutely resistant to controls. Responds well to leadership and mentor roles but resists any longer term assignments which would include schedules and limit ability to travel. Subject responds poorly to authority. Subject questions orders publicly, disobeys order, dresses down subordinates and superiors, and will occasionally walk away from posts and duties without a word of explanation. Often into the wilderness, definite preference for Canadian wilderness.

Subject seems to desire company of others yet often will depart from that company to go dwell alone for extended periods of time or seek new company. Subject displays great long-term loyalty but poor short-term loyalty. Often best method of re-acquiring subject is to acquire those associated with subject and provide a trail of crumbs. Such actions require authorization from the highest levels due to inherent high level of risk entailed.

When acquired can be controlled for short stints of time through combination use of carefully controlled substance exposure and psychic or other mental blocks or insertions. Subject has built up resistance to these methods due to repeated exposures and proximity to Subject Charles Xavier. Reference Weapon Series and Cross Reference to World Wars, Vietnam War, Iraq War, further cross reference suggestions available from Level 4 Supervisors.

Extra/Notes:
I particularly like two versions of Wolverine. The street level vigilante bits where he is chasing down murderers and kidnappers and human traffickers and that sort of stuff OR the stuff where he is acting as more of a mentor and less of a weapon to be used. My intention at least, if I can stay on point, is to sort of combine the two. This version of Logan is tired of being used. Tired of the people he puts his faith in turning out to be monsters. Professor X and Hydra/SHIELD in particular. I have a particular interest in the concepts of mortality and what eternal or wildly elongated life would mean in practice. So yeah.



History:
Spent a lot of time staring into that abyss. Sometimes wasn't the only one looking through my eyes. France, Germany, Africa, Japan, Viet-fuckin-nam, Madripoor, Mexico, good old US of A, Canada of course. Shed blood all over the world, bled a lot of it too. Seen all manner of cruelty and evil, come to the conclusion it, Evil, ain't some alien thing from Hell that reaches out to us every few decades. It's a thing that lives in all of us, some more than others. God knows I've got enough of it in me. Ol' Kurt Wagner taught me plenty 'bout that.

Stare into that abyss and it stares back at you. Me and it we old friends. Very old. Ain't no spring chicken anymore. Body still is, but the shit takes its toll. Wonder sometimes how we do it. How we keep on pushing year after year, decade after decade. More than a few of us been doing this for generations now. Run into folk I've been friends with or enemies ta or both for longer than most folk get to live. Plenty of folk tried to help or tried to stand in my way. I took plenty of their lives, those that tried to stop me, and just me being me ended up getting plenty of them that tried to help me dead. Plenty more of them just wilted, like people do eventually. It's like them Kansas fellas said, Dust in the Wind.

I can't see myself just sitting by while bad things happen. Not in me. But maybe I can stop being such a damn ass about things. Stop running out on friends first sign of them caring a little too much. Got kids to think about, them that don't hate me and ain't tried to kill me at least. I can hope for redemption for them that do want to kill me too can't I? Nothing says I can't. Maybe this old dog can learn a new trick. Maybe this short hairy mutt can even make up for the dark old days.

@BangoSkank
The character sheet is all good except for one thing. I would like it if you included a sentence for each supporting cast member on how they are related to Wolverine. Once you do that you can move the sheet to the characters tab.

@Ruby
Magik looks good except for two things. One please mention how she joined the Avengers, and please add in the supporting cast section with a sentence describing Magik's relation to each character. If you do this then you can move your sheet to the characters tab.

Hmmm...

I kind of like this, would it be important to read the rp thus far? Maintaining the current character roster implies as much, but I thought it best to be certain.

I will need to browse around and find an existing character to assume/adapt, and I'm certainly open to suggestions and feedback.

And final question (should have been the first): is there still room for new players?

@Martian

I’ll have a post up hopefully sometime tomorrow. Sorry for my absence lots of work to do!

Billy is happy that Captain Marvel is still around.

@Artemis Arts
No problem! Just glad that you are still participating.

@BenG85
Yes we are still accepting. You could read the RP log, but if you don't want to basically all that happened was that the Avengers were called to Avengers Mansion where Captain America briefed them on going after Viper and the Serpent Society. Right now everyone is just leaving the meeting room and heading toward the Quinjet hangar.

As for character suggestions I'll repost a list I posted earlier in this thread.
Classic Avengers:
- Iron Man
- Hulk
- Ant-Man
- Wasp
Powerhouse Avengers:
- Sentry
- She-Hulk
- Hercules
- Ares
Regular Human Avengers:
- Hawkeye
- Mockingbird
- Two-Gun Kid

Space Related Avengers:
- Darkhawk
- Mantis
- Quasar
- Machine Man

Hopefully these suggestions help.

I still need to do some reading on the character, but I should get approval before getting too invested in the idea...

Any chance I could get away with... Doctor Doom?

I maybe interested in joining with Kate Bishop.
