@AngelofOctober well can't wait to see him!

@rocketrobie2

Can't wait to show him off. I might, what I do is show the old sheet from the other website. And may ask for help in adapting him into this RP. What I should change and stuff.

If that's okay.

But right now I have to run I have therapy
edit: I lied I have 30 minutes. My roommate just offered a ride.

[rocketrobie2]

@AngelofOctober Looks like I mighta missed ya before you had to leave. I'd be willing to help adapt if thats what your asking but asking the GM would probably be a safer bet. I ask him about stuff I'm not certain about my characters.

@rocketrobie2

I am still here. Waiting for my ride. lolo

[Omega Man]

@Member 00492

Oh goody. Do you think you could have a look over the original sheet and see what I need to adapt to make it work for this RP?

Does that mean you'll also allow the Symbiote?

[Omega Man]

So long as the powers aren't too nuts and you're a good enough writer. I'm game to see anything reimagined.

@Member 00492

Awesome! I am so stoked.

[Omega Man]

Here's that CS template. A bit more info in this one than I normally do but mainly based on how different the setting is. Can't wait to see what some of you come up with.

Character Type - Cannon Inspired or Original
Name -
Alias -
Age -
Social Class - Downtown, Midtown, or Uptown?
Allignment - good, bad, or anti-hero?
Archetype - Mutant, Inhuman, Enhanced Human, Alien, Supernatural, Human
Powers -
Skills -
Weaknesses -
Arch Enemy - Depending on what we get in the villain department...
Appearance -
BRIEF Bio -
Notes -
Sample Post -

Remember you can apply as a hero or villain, or even anti-hero! Wanna put your own spin on Black Panther? Maybe the grandson of somebody like Hank Pym or the granddaughter of Magneto, or an all new Shadowcat completely changed from the ground up?

@Member 00492

So I do have a question. For Weaver's appearance, I used some sort of copycat fanarts. They are fanarts of an already otherwise established canon Symbiote. But! It's hard to find OC symbiotes. Is this acceptable to use these fanarts?

[Neo Is Delight]

I'll go ahead and throw my interest into the ring. =^.^=

*cough*Interested*cough*

[Zero Hex]

Interested, for better or worse X-Men 2099 was actually some of the first comics I got when I was a tiny bab.

[Dark Light]

I'm thinking an Ironman / Kitty Pryde mash.
Maybe the offspring of one of her many relationships, perhaps alternate universe even.
Maybe with the Cipher glyph.
I don't know where that all fits into the timeline though. I don't follow any of this that closely.

[Zero Hex]

Right, I've a bit of free time on my hands atm and both Dark Light and someone else who's contacted me over PM seem a bit lost on the whole 2099 deal so I thought I'd crap out a little bit of a primer to go with our GMs intro.

Marvel 2099 is an extremely 90s cyberpunk what-if alternate future. Think rampant megacorporations that rule vast swathes of the world and the corruption that ensues, scientific and technological advances that are often detrimental rather than favorable for mankind and the planet, massive social inequality, human modification and loss of identity and a hectic underground world of mercenaries, freedom fighters, hackers and the like. Now filter that through 90s comic books where two of the original lineup stars were The Punisher and Doctor Doom. There's some serious themes but this isn't exactly the most serious and thoughtful medium.

As for the links to the regular Marvel universe. The line was thought up as happening a bit over 100 years into the future when it was published in 93, with the story being that the "Age of Heroes" of Earth 616 came to an abrupt end due to an unspecified catastrophe that set civilization back. Prior to the point where the comics start, there were no active superheroes in 2099, and the superheroes of old have become myths and legends with worship of Thor and Hulk playing part in stories. Links to the old heroes are oftentimes tenuous at best, so the whole "son of" deal wasn't exactly prevalent.

By way of examples, Hulk 2099's backstory involves the Knights of Banner, a group experimenting with Gamma Rays to try to recreate the original Hulk. Punisher 2099 is a member of the private police force who suffers personal tragedy and is inspired to take up the mantle after coming across Frank Castle's war journal. Much of the plot of Doom 2099 involves a great deal of doubt over the identity of this Doctor Doom and whether he is or not the actual Victor. One of the major crossover plotlines was an attempt to create a false pantheon of Norse gods in order to quell the new wave of heroes. There's plenty of room to be at least slightly more creative than just a future descendant of X or Y.

In short, 90s cyberpunk Marvel with an emphasis on the "punk" where the heroes of old are often taken as myths and legends. Near future technological dystopia with some actually serious themes but the focus is more on flashy laserguns, crazy powers, flying vehicles, neon lights and a good deal of violence as the way to go about dealing with The Man.

[Omega Man]

The only actual cannon I was using had Spiderman as the only one of the 2099 heroes to exist. Wanted to give folks more options.

Almost finished with my Thor CS...

@Member 00492

Can we use anything from the Marvel-verse?

[Omega Man]

Yeah you can take inspiration from wherever.

Here's my CS.

I'm 100% in if I can figure out an idea, this seems amazing in concept! I love some dystopia cyberpunk, plus comic book RPs!

Was debating maybe a future incarnation of Iron Fist? I like Marvel in general but I'm a huge martial arts and wuxia fan and it's a character with an established legacy mechanic and some nifty powers.

I'd also be happy to make an arch for someone, because evil is cool!
