It is 2004 and villains are on the move. Lex Luthor and Dr. Doom have teamed up to prototype a temporal resonance bomb that could potentially rewrite history and wipe their enemies from history, giving them the freedom to control the world without any pesky heroes getting in their way. They have been successful in keeping this project a secret from their enemies, taking elaborate measures to keep the existence of the bomb quiet.

Fast forward ten years and Lex and Doom have completed the bomb but there is an issue. In order to work as designed the bomb needs two things. It needs time to charge and lock onto the targets' temporal signatures in order to perform to its specifications, and it needs the targets to be somewhere nearby. Luthor has a plan to get around these limitations. He is going to plant the bomb in Times Square Manhattan and tell the heroes. In order for this plan to work they will need the heroes to stay in range without being able to defuse or destroy the bomb. To do this Lex and Doom recruit every villain they can name to help keep the heroes back and draw the heroes in.

The bomb has been planted, the villains are in attendance and the heroes, all of the heroes, are converging on Manhattan.

The battle is long, violent, hectic. The sheer number of heroes and villains in Manhattan is enough to level the city if the battle gets out of hand. As the battle continues and the bomb gets closer to completing its task a small group of heroes break through the defense and make it to the bomb. It isn't yet ready and Lex wants to fire, Doom protests saying that without having the proper amount of time to charge the effects will be unpredictable. Lex doesn't care and in his panic fires the bomb. Waves are sent out through time and space and the universe is flipped on its head. Doom was right, the effects of the uncharged bomb was unpredictable, it altered the histories of every person within range, erasing the communities or organizations they founded and altering their personal histories. Some people vanished from history, some were born in completely different centuries, some are forced together into an amalgam of two people and others are born or raised under different circumstances (sometimes in multiple places at once leading to multiples of the same person walking around), changing their view of the world and motivations for what they do, turning some heroes into villains. The worst part of it is, nobody remembers why it happened, but they are all haunted by the feeling that something isn't right.
Rules

  1. No godmodding, pretty simple, your character can't be totally indestructible or infallible. Even if we don't plan on killing any characters (which we might do once the story progresses, with your permission of course) they still need to be killable

  2. No metagaming or any of that omnipotence nonsense. Your character doesn't know everything you do

  3. No controlling another person's character without permission (duh)

  4. Keep romance pg-13 anything higher can be done in PMs

  5. Limit of two characters per person


You are not who you used to be, you can feel that something is wrong in universe but you can't put your finger on it, everything around you seems normal, everything is the way you remember it, you must be paranoid or something. Just to be sure maybe you should go over everything you remember about yourself and make sure everything is okay.

Base Character: Petra+Aegis+Tenebrous (All three deceased in Marvel universe)

Name: Tertia

Alias: None

Gender: Female

Age: 22

Appearance (description/picture):

Height normally 6'0"

Costume: The normal black suit in appearance is her usual garb, though she sometimes wears other clothing when not actively fighting

Hero/Villain: Neither (Tends towards heroism, but is closer to anti-hero than anything. Out for survival and development of her identity)

Personality/motives: Wants desperately to develop her new identity and separate from the past lives of her old selves
-Kind
-A bit abrupt at times, blunt
-Often sarcastic or flippant
-Cautious and calculated
-Extremely loyal
-Self-conscious of her voice (Often avoids speaking to new people at first for fear of them hating her voice)

Powers: -Ability to manipulate earth and rock (create localized earthquakes, psychokinetically move and throw rocks, reshape rocks on atomic level)
-Can absorb cosmic power from dying enemies if they house it (Increases her strength, resilience, and speed)
-Fast healing (Not full-blown healing factor, but heals at three times normal rate)
-Unlimited flight
-Immunity to void of space (No need of spacesuit or air)
-Latent cosmic powers will unlock as she absorbs more cosmic energy
-Doesn't breathe, sleep, or age (Sustained by Tenebrous and Aegis's proemial energy)

Bio: Petra, Aegis, and Tenebrous all died. Petra was gone completely. Only her body remained. Aegis and Tenebrous were destroyed by the power of the Crunch utilized by the Silver Surfer. He, however, did not realize that the proemial gods drifted through space in a sort of suspended spirit form. Eventually, these aimlessly drifting entities fell upon Earth. More specifically, Petra's still body. Upon contact, the two gods suddenly fused with the corpse, bringing it back to life. The body shifted slightly, growing a little taller and obtaining an oddity of the eyes, causing one to glow bright orange and the other to glow a deep void black ringed by extremely light blue. Her voice changed significantly, taking Petra's voice and adding the voices of Aegis and Tenebrous as simultaneous echoes. This amounts to a very feminine voice with echoes of a deeply masculine and second feminine voice.

The two gods do not have separate personalities anymore. In fact, they must develop a totally new identity. She took on the name Tertia in reference to the three components of her existence. Her powers were not unknown to her. All her current powers were within her limited memory. She also knew that she needed more cosmic energy to empower this form. So, she set out to find more energy while seeking a true identity. Those who knew Petra, Aegis, or Tenebrous before this odd circumstance will react accordingly once they know what happened, but Tertia will try to convince them of her new identity and will refuse to be considered any one of her component identities.

Based on what I read She's killable even though she doesn't need to breathe eat or sleep because her healing factor is 3x and not instant and you did limit her powers a bit, cosmic energy will be tough to come by. So, Accepted.

I always try to limit things. The healing and not breathing, eating, or sleeping as well as the flight, void immunity, and cosmic energy stuff are remnants of Aegis and Tenebrous's proemial god powers. I did not want to only use Petra's powers and ignore the powers of her new "soul". Not to mention her odd eyes and weird voice being off-putting

I like these, I think they are interesting characters. My only criticisms are that Luthor's armor shouldn't be adamantium, maybe adamantium reinforced steel since a full suit of adamantium would be expensive, even for Luthor, and almost impossible to get enough to build the whole suit. I do like the idea of it being powered by kryptonite though. My main issue was that even though I don't want to kill off characters they still need to be killable so that they aren't unstopable.

Manchester's telekinesis should be powerful, but can't reach its full power unless a certain condition is met, maybe extreme emotional trauma is its trigger.

Or have a mental inhibition. (Think like what happens if Jean tries too much, she passes out or injures herself. So, brain hemorrhaging or total failure for overstepping too much may work. Telekinesis in Marvel is heavily limited since it is not conditional on object affected.)

Alright, that works, and do you mean the phoenix? like Jean Grey?

EDIT: Also, accepted on the condition Luthor's armor is just reinforced steel and not full-blown adamantium and Manchester is only able to use his full powers during emotional trauma.

Base Character: Robin
Name:John Wayne
Alias:The Winged Shadow
Gender:Male
Age:17
Appearance (description/picture):
Costume:
Hero/Villain:Hero
Personality/motives: Smart and cunning, John belives that everyone has evil inside them and that that makes them untrustworthy. He is a loner and prefers to do things his way.
Powers: Extremely agile,genius,proficient martial artist
History: John was born to two loving parents, Bruce and Selina Wayne. They saw that he was a genius at birth and gave him all their attention, showering him with affection and gifts. When John was 14 he watched as his parents were stabbed by a man dressed as a clown who claimed to know his father and was getting the last laugh. It was then that he discovered his parents past as The Bat and Catwoman, two superheroes who had fought crime and made Gotham City the safest city on Earth. The police confirmed that the man who killed his parents was The Circusmaster, the leader of a formerly prominent gang in Gotham. John withdrew into himself, pushing away everyone. When he finally came out of his room where he had stayed for the past six moths, he announced that he would become the Winged Shadow. He remodeled his father's old lair and designed a new suit, and set out to find the man who had killed his parents and stop the crime that would undoubtedly return with the death of his parents.

John Wayne? Nice. Anyway, he's approved, it looks like Batman and Catwoman were two of the miracle people who's histories were either untouched or barely altered. Doesn't mean there can't be another batman though.

Which is no big deal, because of the bomb things changed a lot, but some people stayed unchanged or barely changed at all, which doesn't mean nobody can use them, even if they're dead because there are multiples of some people, so the batman that was John's father may be dead but there could be another batman running around somewhere.

So where do the characters start off? Is the time and place that they have ended up being told in the IC story? And since some of them will be in different centuries, how can a story be told through them?

The story takes place in Manhattan in 2014 and I didn't mean you would be playing them in a different century, I meant that immortal characters who can't die of natural causes could be extremely old, possibly hundreds of years old. Also in the IC post I will be saying that because the bomb went off in Manhattan all the characters, no matter where they are from they are drawn there either by circumstance or some deep desire to go there for a reason they don't know. But I can throw it in the OOC too if you wanted me too, I have no problem with that.
