β€œ...The Hood sacrificed everything to stop an evil Sorcerer Supreme?

Doctor Steven Strange was never humbled out of his egoistical edge even after he broke his fingers in that car accident that ruined his career as a surgeon. In his quest to find a cure, he finds the Ancient One who refuses to cure his hands. Bitter, Strange then encounters Mordo and pledges to assist in killing the Ancient One in exchange for a cure. The tutelage of Mordo in the magical arts leads to Strange excelling leading to the pair killing the Ancient One.

With their common enemy out of the way, Strange, in a move to try and gain more power, betrays Mordo to obtain the Ancient One’s power in order to become the Sorcerer Supreme. With his power he becomes a tyrant in the mystical arts, finding ways to steal power from other practitioners and coveting every magical artifact. There would be no hope if Strange continued but an unlikely player would give up everything to stop Strange. Enter The Hood.

Up to this point, Parker Robbins has had the same life leading him to become The Hood. His father died, his mother comatose, he reverted to crime to make his wealth and with one of his heists leading him into obtaining his signature occult artifacts. In a bid to stop him, The Hood makes a dark pact with Dormammu to give him the power to defeat Strange at the cost of his soul to become a vessel of Dormammu’s possession. The Hood defeats the Sorcerer Supreme as planned but exploits a clause in his pact to avoid giving his soul to Dormammu: β€œBy next Midnight, you’re soul will be mine.”

In the previous possession of Steven Strange, the Time Stone has become the very artifact that Parker relies on to avoid his possession. Just before the clock strikes midnight, he reverses time on himself to one minute after midnight on the same day. Time goes on around him but he must constantly revert his day back to the beginning, sparing him possession but sacrificing himself all the same with his memory being reverted.

Time has lost all meaning to Parker Robbins and at some point and the days blend together. In one of those days, John Constantine, his best friend and original guide into the occult, must have visited him in Sanctum and their discussion must have been productive because the Midnight Sons was formed. Utilizing the Sanctum, the Midnight Sons operate to help protect the new Sorcerer Supreme and the mystical items kept in the Sanctum Sanctorum.

P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ):

So I stumbled upon this RP and thought of some twist on a character that I could play. The Hood was originally appealing and specifically to take him from starting as a villain to redeeming himself to become a hero. Since it plays more into the mysticism aspect, I decided that Sorcerer Supreme would be a good angle for him, but then I thought what if it came at a cost?

The cinematic universe presented an idea with the time stone, specifically the idea of being stuck in a time loop. Looping a single day over and over again would be very interesting play, but he’d be limited in engagement since his memory doesn’t carry over. so I thought he’d have a small crew to help him operate. I picked a few good mystical characters from DC and Marvel to form the backbone of the mystical side for this RP.


C H A R A C T E R N O T E S:

Steven Strange may be dead in 668, but there is plenty of potential for another Steven coming from somewhere. Any other mystical characters I’d like to get involved with should others propose them. Ultimately, I should be able to jump into plots that others do fairly easily as well.

I keep a PM with myself on the Guild for all my CSes and posts and whatnot. Went to reply to it, internet went out, bye bye all my work.


Oh that hurts.

I've had the same issue, which is why I now always ctrl+c before submitting work on the Guild. Hopefully it doesn't throw you off writing the post too much.

I look forward to Detective Chimp chimpin'and detectin' all over the place.

For aeons, the Phantom Stranger, emissary of the Spectre and keeper of all, has watched over the garden of the Maker. His silent vigil is endless and without rest, for he sees all and watches all, wandering across all of existence to perform his duty. It is his unending watch that keeps the realm of mortals at peace and his tireless actions which prevent the scales from tipping too far out of balance.

Now, he is missing.

Those on the mortal plane would not notice his presence but those who traverse the other side can feel his absence. The cold winds in the alley. The lengthening of the shadows. The growing silence. Without his gaze, the cosmos begins to unravel.

Left with no other options, Madame Xanadu has had to peer deep into her blackest ledger to find six individuals capable of undertaking a cause, deemed hopelessly lost to most…

That’s where they come in… The Shadow Pact.

Six heavy debts. Six misfit souls. Six months to rebalance the scales.

A tatterdemelion without a cause.

A spirit of vengeance.

A sword wielding dreamer of the past.

A damned beast.

A man of destiny.

A child of the black moon.

In short, we’re all fucked.

P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ):

Think β€˜Suicide Squad’ meets β€˜Justice League Dark’. Me and @Abstract Proxywant to create something pretty wonky and this feels like the right environment to do it in. We’re mixing in several magical characters from both DC and Marvel into some weird-ass cocktail you find in a seedy little bar at 1 AM and hoping that it works out for the worst (in all the best ways).

The main beat of the starting storyline is that the Phantom Stranger is missing. How and why you might ask? Well, that’s what this cast of characters have to find out as they have to learn to work together and discover that the real Phantom Stranger was the friends they made along the way.

Ooh, neat. I don't think I've ever seen anyone split a team sheet amongst players like that before but given that you're both playing a portion of the same team, it makes sense.

Also, I've never seen Tim Hunter in one of these before. Perhaps in the olden days back when AndyC and MST3K 4EVER would roam the earth but now we're reaching decades back

Who's Ragwoman supposed to be, by the way? Is the suit of souls just on a gal for the time? Or a stylistic gender swap?

I’ll let @Abstract Proxy answer that one. I prefer to think it’s just a gender swap but alas, the character is their own to shape.

Leaning into the lore that the rags have existed for a long time as the "Great Collector Artifact" it felt like a nice time for the keeper of the rags to be someone new.

I like the idea that Rory Reagan, Vietnam vet, pawn shop owner, and vigilante has finally decided he is too old to be fighting baddies in the night.

The Suit of Souls now resides with Anna Levina, a mid level Gotham criminal with some perhaps not so distant ties to the organized crime of a distinctly Russian flavor. Given the theme of the Shadowpact we wrote up, I wanted to lean into a Ragwoman that is less a law abiding citizen and more a woman working to redeem herself, much like the souls trapped in the Suit of Souls, who can only find freedom by willingly helping the Ragwoman do good. It's not quite a curse as with Guillotine and the demonic sword she is forced to wield, but I'm hoping to explore a bit more the idea that Ragwoman understands/sympathizes much more with the criminals/villains/evil-doers she interacts and that she isn't exactly happy to have to carry the heavy (to her mind) mantle of Ragwoman.

I would love to have the now retired Rory make an appearance though, he could probably dole out some good advice.




I'm glad the idea of a team split up by players seems interesting, it sort of naturally ended up being how @Bork Lazer and I approached this.

I'm not familiar with the character of Anna, did you create her specifically for the RP?

Yep!

I can go lore hunting though if you'd like me to stick to someone more established (my main goal is just to swap out the original Ragman with someone with a much more nuanced perspective).

Works kicking my bahookey this week. I'll get my post out when I get a good finish time, or on Saturday. Whatever comes first. I have most of it planned, if anyone wants an actual connection to Thor give me a shout. But he has been around since WW2 so most people will be aware he exists (whether people believe he's a god, an alien, a robot... Well. That's up to them).

I don't think that's necessary here, I'm good with Anna Levina.
