This is usually the part where people either love me or hate me. I thought I could avoid doing this curse you anal-retentiveness but I succumbed. I'm weak like that. And since I'm working on it, I thought I'd share with everyone.


Yes, I am aware some people are no longer in the RP because of various reasons. I'm still working on it. This is as far as I got. If you'd like to pitch in and keep working on it, go for it. I'll keep plugging away at it no matter what. Because I need a mass character list. I'm also in the middle of reading the current arc in preparation for season 2. To make sure I'm fresh and all caught up. I might even take notes.... because I'm a nerd and anal
EDIT: Edited the list with new updates and sorted by player name. Working on finishing touches. Also working on different sort orders. (Again, Anal)
EDIT: Added all Accepted CSs within the last 3 months. x_x
NOW I'm gonna work on finishing up all the information.

Status is more like active level. For example Maven would be inactive pending season 2. Rach would be active. Dead characters are dead. Etc.

@Dedonus Will there be a post to bring all the Pax heroes back together to discuss their involvement, possible future plans for the teams, etc.? Marie might have a request for Iron Knight and company that could either be made during season 2 as a flash back, or at the end of this season.

I didn't forget them nor did I miss them. I'm gonna add them in, but at current I'm still editing the list. Last night I just got as far as the end of the posted CSs and I was done. (So tired.... ._.) But I'm going to change the organization order, move things around and add in pending Season 2 characters. (If I can find them in the thread. So many pages)

@Dedonus Barron is in New Vegas, think of it like his not so secret; secret base sorta thing. He won't be running around doing things there by season 2 with the influence of Hekate and the combined wealth he'd have most of the Politicians in his pocket. I said most. By season 3 probably all. He'll mostly mess with the cowl, appear in other cities and give heroes or villains a hand depending upon what his goals are. He's an opportunistic Villain.

The list of active characters?

@Blue Demon Made an update to the list. My character is active in Vegas, in a not so secret; secret base sort of way.

It wasn't really a request. It was more a statement. I'm doing this. And if anyone wants to pitch in they can.

Barron is in New Vegas

New Vegas or Las Vegas?

EDIT: Anywhoooo. This is now what it looks like. Still working on it mind you (if it wasn't painfully obvious)







And those were all the relevant catagories I felt I needed in order to properly do this thing. XD If anyone else would like to request a sort category, let me know. :D

@Blue Demon I meant Las Vegas, I keep calling it New Vegas because that's where he started, in another world where Nukes destroyed everything and the world has been dived up to whomever has the power.

@Blue Demon: Remove Raptorman, Marra Mistborn, and The Fair Lady (notice I removed them from my list above). They were banned because they were the same person.

@DedonusI actually knew something. fangirls Ahem. Anyways. I was going to keep* the characters on the list but include what happened to the characters in IC. To be fair they were kind of important in prior events and as a new comer having everyone ignore them was really confusing. (Yes, I did get the run down about why, etc) I was just going to make it clear that those characters are no longer in use. Just like I'm still including a lot of people who no longer are in the RP.

I'm still on the fence about the six (or seven) people who appear in the beginning but have no CS anywhere, if I should include them in the master list or not.

@Dedonus I'd love to join this.

Hey, are cosmic abilities okay to use?

Eh, that power actually doesn't sound good for me. What powers are up for sale, eh? I would be a Spider-Man like character but I don't think I make the character actually any different than Spider-Man.

Ooooh, maybe a Symbiote-like character would be nice. But I just noticed that it's taken. ;-;

One thing about this rp, some PCs can have similiar powers (as long as they aren't identical) but their bios, personalities, power details, etc would differ. Mainly it's all about how you write it and create your PC that matters.

@Chaotic Chao: We are always open.

Unlike Kid Lanturn's game that has a similar premise as this one, there isn't any calling dibs on powers. While variety is the spice of life, there isn't any restriction on what powers your character can have if another character already has a similar power.

As NMS (Nitemare Shape FYI) already mentioned, first read through the rules. While they are really similar to the rules in All-Star Marvel, it is still a good idea to look through them.

Although we don't want you to just make "clones" of Marvel and DC characters, you can still take inspiration from them. I give some examples with my characters. A quick caveat before I begin. Before I even found this game, I had already created all three of the characters that I am about ready to talk about. So, I understand if it seems difficult to create something "unique".

My first PC is Raptor. I would say that this character was least influenced by Marvel and DC characters. Besides his claws that kind of resemble Wolverine's, minus the adamantium (although ironically he probably have only used them once through this entire roleplay), his theme is a play on the trope where heroes (or villains) have animal motifs. Usually, these characters have powers that correspond with their animal motif (Spider-Man, Ant-Man, Wasp, etc), but the majority of them still look entirely human. To play with this trope, my character here, in addition to having powers related to a Velociraptor, has physical attributes associated with that animal, too, such as a dinosaur tail and the signature foot claw. His girlfriend, too, follows this pattern (in this case, features of a wasp).

My second PC is Iron Knight. As his name might hint at, he is influenced by Iron Man (and a little bit by Batman). Although there are some similarities between Christopher Arthur (Iron Knight's identity) and Tony Stark, such as being rich, using powersuits, being orphans, and having a butler and secretary, there are differences, especially in his backstory. He doesn't have any technology keeping him alive. He has a half-sister to take care of since their parents died. He works with our game's version of SHIELD (something that, from my knowledge of the character, Tony Stark would have shied away from). The important thing is, even though there are a few similarities, there are also differences that make these two characters distinct from one another (so you could make a Veen Diagram chart for them).

My third (and final) PC is Arachne. Just like Iron Knight, you can kind of see that she was influenced by Spider-Man. Having, if you were to examine her character, you would see that past her powers, she really doesn't have anything in common with Peter Parker. She does not share a tragic background. She doesn't have the same career path. Her powers were NOT given to her by a spider bite. Even her powers are a little different, as she follows Raptor's pattern. In this case, her lower body is replaced by that of a spider (like a drider - spider-centaur basically - in certain fantasy franchises).

In conclusion, I would not recommend trying to model your character after [insert Marvel/DC character here] just because you want to play that character. Instead, it probably would be better to mix and match ideas together. A remember that you can find inspiration from outside of DC and Marvel lore, or even comic books. We just don't want a character whose backstory looks as if it was ripped from a wiki page and the names were replaced.

Hope this helps!
