Connections would be ideal. I've tried it a few times. Lets see if anything happens this time around XD
Did you pm or did it happen with the buzz of the activity on the OoC? I know at one point there was a lot of communication going back and forth, with getting sheets accepted and people wanting to join. I know a lot of my comments got over looked because of it which is understandable and part of the reason I do mentions from now on. I know I mentioned I was up for connections with Ben Reeves(New York) and Racheli Desdemona (Lost Haven) which all I need is a pm then we can chatter about it without literally having it get lost in the OoC.
I might suggest Maven move to NYC as it's closed to one that @Dedonus will be having his PCS at. Which I still aim to chase Bast up that tree one day when Ben goes all wolf, making life hellish for @Absynia's Fenrir. Another reason is that Maven might be able to connect most of the younger gen of heroes there. (Which by young I mean the common assumption for College and High School aged students, which there's a good number around there.)
I also, at one point, recall NMS telling everyone that was approved to feel free to put their CSes in the Char section though I might be wrong. It was while ago.

I don't remember this at all. D: I should get on that when I get back to a computer and not on my phone.

Indeed. I never toss away a chance to get connected to someone's PC as it's part of the fun, it also makes things more interested to sort out where/when they meet. For Ben, it's possible as NYC is filled with all sort of people from many different walks of life. So while he might be the next possible Mayor, not for a long time btw, son, he's still able to leave a semi-normal life. For the most part. XD

So, is it time for the gang I'm with to kick butt and be awesome? XD
When NN, Tricks and I warp up the collab, hopefully tonight or some time this week. And then I post Gene Co on the way. So two posts before then which would allow for single posts, and collabs when needed.
* Stay true to the personality and abilities of the character, such as no Cyclops moving planets with his optic blasts, Dazzler defeating Galactus, or Aunt May as Galatus's new Herald...
* Do NOT rip off existing heroes in comic universes. Come up with your own creation. If your character is too similar to one in Marvel, DC, or other comic companies, you will be asked to change it or come up with a new character.
* Before starting a game wide event, check with the GM to ensure it will not conflict with ongoing plans. Such events should NOT be your introductory arc.
* Gods and other deities are not allowed. However, characters such as Darkseid and Odin, who may have been worshiped as such; are. Any "gods" such as the Olympians, will be as regarded as The New Gods or Asgardians in DC and Marvel.
* Reality warping and cartoon physics and other such powers are not allowed.
* Do NOT criticize another poster’s character. We are not all Stan Lee or Shakespeare. Constructive criticism is okay as long as it is not offensive. This rule applies even if a poster asks for feedback.
* Your character should make sense. Wolverine doesn’t dance in the flowers. If you have a meek character, they shouldn’t be smacking other characters around.
* Communicate with others in your arc. This is key to the fun. It doesn’t matter how many fights you win, it matters if the fights were written well.
* If you are collaborating with another player and you do not hear from them for 1 week, and they have not let us know of an absence either in the OOC or through PM's either directly to you or the GM's, feel free to move on without them.
* The Game Masters have the final say in matters of character acceptance. You are welcome to alter the character to make it less powerful or more creative, but arguing with the Game Masters is not allowed. This is a game, let it be fun.
* You are allowed up to four characters. However, if you are new to the game we recommend starting off with one. You can always add another character later.
* This is a working environment, so you can travel to different places using your powers or vehicles. Don't miraculously pop up unless you're a teleporter or such.
* If you are new to the RPG, your first arc should be your origin arc. There are NO pre-established characters in this RPG.
* You can reside in any place in the New Universe. Note, however, that the main city is Lost Haven, Maine. This is where a lot of the action will take place. You can also travel off-planet.
* Don't do anything RANDOM like chopping off board user's heads or what not, unless you're a villain chopping off NPC victims heads, then whatever, go with it, as long as it's not technically RANDOM.
* Don't be killing people without reason. You know your weaknesses and strengths, what you can do or can't. Dazzler will lose against Thanos one on one, but may be able to use her allies to help her out or she can run away.
* If you want to take part in this, just fill out an app and your name and character will appear on the roster, pending approval.
* You can form super villain gangs, superhero teams, alliances, the works.
* There can be a number of stories going on at once, using different people.
* Act like your characters; ASSUME their traits and personalities.
* There are endless places to go and endless things to do: ENDLESS possibilities so get creative.
* This game is essentially a PG-13 game. Use your discretion for cussing and swearing in posts. Some swearing is okay, but don't overdue it. Please don't make me amend this down the line.
* No obscene topics! NO exceptions will be made for the RPG.
* People who disobey these rules, some more major than the others, will get BOOTED by the Game Masters.
* I made most (if not all) of the character banners in this game. If you join and would like one, feel free to ask.
* This game has OPEN ENROLLMENT. There are no limits on the number of players who can join. Feel free to fill out a CS and join the fun!
-Extreme Makeover of Little Ulster (completed): This happened a while back (I even think this happened before you tried to come back the first time). Basically, Mercy eliminated all the "filth" in Little Ulster and made it a nice place. However, that does not mean that criminals are not seeking out to 'reclaim' their old turf.
-Demon Invasion of Lost Haven (foiled): Some crazies opened a portal to a different dimension and unleashed "demons" upon the city. Several heroes, including Icon, Lyger, War-Pulse, Iron Knight, Archangel, and Vigilante (Arachne was helping with the invasion, but wasn't there when the heroes closed the portal) successfully closed the portal and saved the city from demonic conquest. This day is now referred to as "D-Day".
-Reign of Nightmare (Current arc): A metahuman called Nightmare is terrorizing Lost Haven, committing mass murders. Allied with Soulfire and the Cannibal King, he has taken on STRIKE (CaH RPG's version of SHIELD), including Iron Knight and Archangel (both working with STRIKE but not agents of that organization, the latter is currently inactive) and Icon (our Superman/Captain Marvel). The heroes have believed that Nightmare has gone into hiding, but (as the IC recently revealed) he and his allies are still alive and well.
-The Cowl's Gambit (completed): The Cowl (think the Kingpin of Crime, but not as fat/muscular) has returned to Lost Haven to solidify his claims and protect them from the rising superhuman activity. Recently, he has caused chaos in the city with mass looting and rioting to distract everyone from his real goal, the largest smuggling shipment ever in history. While the heroes were able to combat the crime wave, they had no idea of the Cowl's real plan (i.e. the smuggling shipment).
-Ares' Dominion (foiled): Ares, the Greek god of War, has set up a shrine in Lost Haven to attract follows, much to the chagrin of the other Olympian Gods. Athena has sent Arachne to confront Ares and his human ally, Polemos (war). Polemos seemed to have an upper hand (quite an understatement) over Arachne, but Icon intervened. Arachne was able to trick Polemos into thinking that she was poisonous (even though she isn't) and Ares was defeated by the combined power of Icon and Athena. It was revealed that this Ares was actually a shape-shifter posing for the god.
-Umbraxis, the Consumer of Worlds (Foiled. Or was it?): Umbraxis, a cosmic entity, has arrived at Earth's doorstep. Interested with the planet, it sent its "avatar" form down to the planet, where it absorbed into itself a bunch of college students and massacred a police station and a church. While it took some sacrifices, Icon, Thunderbolt, Boom, and a few other metahumans banded together and defeated Umbraxis' "avatar" form. Although it was sent back, licking its own wounds, Umbraxis was not yet defeated and is now binding its time.
-Pax Metahumana(Foiled): A scientist, who has invented a serum that can imbue metahuman powers onto regular people, declared to the world that in 48 hours, a device hidden in Lost Haven will create a sort of energy dome that will progressively transform the population of the world into metahumans. He claims that, due to recent events (many listed above), humanity needs to 'evolve' in order to survive and his plan would do just that. Iron Knight called together a few of the heroes who united together to stop the Demon Invasion (Icon, Lyger, Radiance), along with two newcomers (Thunderbolt and Boom). So far, their current plan is to find several metahumans who have already dealt with either this scientists or his underlings (Arachne, Raptor, War-Pulse), while S.T.R.I.K.E. scrambles around to discover where the device has been hidden.

At first I thought maybe there was something in it about seasonal characters that were accepted. But after another read through I was left confused. Glad to see a lot of us are all in the same boat.
Also, @Fallenreaper I was going to PM you but I have no time this week. Rest assured the PM is coming... just not soonish.
I suspect our fearless leader is making changes to what the apps/leading page will look like in season 2 and was looking for a handy place to keep it whilst he's doing it.

I kind of suspected that (or in the process of editing the OP).
I have my eyes on you.
