I know some people are quietly plotting away in the background, lurking the thread as they conceptualize characters, but it would be a great help for the three GMs if we knew specifically how many people were interested.

So lurkers...
Here's some cookies to entice you out of the shadows.

Just trying to think about what kind of story i'd be wanting to tell... Currently is the idea for the show i've been saying Marvel needs to make for the last 10 years.

Just to clarify, while people can obviously use NPCs to their heart's desires in their posts, any apps should be solo characters. With the limited nature of a street level only game, allowing for duos and groups to be applied for entirely will severely impact options. But, again, those other characters can be NPCs instead.

Might pick my STAKE sheet back up and carry on, depending on what's allowed within the parameters of the game. Otherwise I'll have a think around characters that fit the scope. But no guarantee.

Saying "look" under the GIF of a blind man is some heinous shit.

Remind me the details of that and I can let you know if it would be kosher or not.

TL;DR near-retirement senior agent in a still-early-stages SHIELD encounters Jubilee just starting her journey into vampirism and starts to reckon with the supernatural aspects of the world that were previously unknown to him or SHIELD, eventually starting the sub-division STAKE to deal with it.

I think that's outside then scope of what we're doing with this RP. The primary events and storylines are going to be the likes of organized-crime families, serial killers, that sort of thing. Stuff that affects the individual neighborhoods of the city, rather than dealing with global organizations and conspiracies. We're keeping things on this scale to encourage collaboration and interaction, rather than everyone sticking to their own personal freedoms of Canon.

Does SHIELD operate in NYC? Almost certainly. But they're not going to be the focus of this RP. Same goes with the X-Men, the FF, etc.

@Retired Fair enough. Would Shulky being the Local Prosecutor be allowed. Primarily her serving as a legal consultant just the watching what the others do with A level headed understanding of the politics of Superheroes.

On phone: "What do you mean Frank blew up a building...? How many were inside...? Look, it being a NAMBLA convention is irrelevant, i say we convene a grand jury and let's get him indicted... I don't care if he is a war hero... If they want compensation, they should appeal to DoDC or go crying to Murdock or any of those other Ambulance Chasers. My job is to put bastards behind bars... Look, Tower, you can't just... Yes i realize that "City indicts War Hero for killing Pedophiles" is not exactly good for the court of public opinion but... Fine, i'll just go after Fisk instead... WELL THEN WHO THE HELL AM I ALLOWED TO GO AFTER? *crunch* Sir? Si- Oh damn cheap plastic phones."

Potentially interested, buttt with the limited number of available characters I imagine the playerbase will be smaller than previous games. I'm also notoriously flaky and wouldn't want to horde one of said slots if I can't/don't post for an extended period. Will definitely keep on eye on this, though!

Yo wait, they're raisin? Alright, ya got me....

Joking aside I'm interested; if I find the time, I'd definitely like to be apart of this, though still unsure who I'd actually be trying to run here. Gotta riffle through the Marvel backlog of the Big Apple's street-level boys and girls

There are a metric shit ton of street level Marvel characters within NYC. More than people would think. While there may not be as many "big names" as typical games, there are still plenty of characters to choose from. And I don't just mean obscure Z-listers.

There's nothing inherently preventing the player base of this game from being the same as previous games. There's no limit to how many we accept.

And by limiting each player to just one PC, we are guaranteeing there's plenty of characters to go around for all.

Power-scaling and whatnot aside, defining "street level" as "operating primarily in a single city (namely New York) and dealing with issues primarily affecting that city," there's quite a few:

Only one of those has built-in abs. I think you know the right answer.
