Ω P R E M I S E:

Welcome fans of Marvel, DC and all comics alike. Absolute Comics is a sandbox based RP that seeks to merge and mix the lore of your favourite characters into one living cohesive world. The idea behind this RP is not to embody our favourite heroes and villains to simply retell iconic stories and origins but to take these characters and make them our own. In fact the goal of the RP is for players to take their favourite characters and re-imagine them to tell their own stories. We only ask that the 'heart' of the character remains the same. Players will take the roles of their favourite characters and tell stories either alone or in collaboration with other players in order to to develop and grow the world.

In-game history is decided on a first come, first serve basis. However, it should not be designed in a manner which locks out another player from taking on a favourite roll. To give an example, if a player applies as Dick Grayson before an application has been received for Bruce Wayne, then the player applying as Grayson can decide to portray Dick as Robin, Nightwing or even Batman. No matter which of these roles the Grayson player chooses, it has an effect on a future Bruce Wayne player.

Due to the nature of the IC, the Bruce Wayne player would have to craft their CS to reflect a Bruce which reflects the Grayson player in the present. For instance, if the Grayson player chooses to be Nightwing, then the Bruce Wayne player will need to portray an older Batman during collaborative play. Even if a ‘Dick-Bats’ could block a player from playing Bruce Wayne as Batman, it shouldn’t necessarily block Bruce Wayne as a character. If so desired by both parties, a Batman Inc. like scenario could even be worked out.

To differentiate itself from previous 'One Universe' roleplays, Absolute Comics allows for non-linear story telling. This means you can play stories which occur in the past, present or future allowing a single player to have their character's story span multiple years. A Spider-Man player could play out one arc with Peter learning to wall-crawl while another arc could be player with Spider-Man teaming up with the Justice League. This is the flexibility afforded to you as a player in an effort to both keep interest fluent and to allow easier coordination of collaborative arcs without sacrificing independent stories. A major change to Absolute from the previous iteration is that the IC will be divided into three types of play. Like most 'One Universe' roleplays, players will be encouraged to write and create their own 'Chapters', solo stories that follow their character in whichever point in their career they so choose. 'Crossovers' will be GM-moderated events which run alongside 'Chapters'. Crossovers will be available to any player, and there will always be enough Crossovers to accommodate every player is so desired. These events will range from a city-wide to national level pending the ongoing events and players involved. Intended for players who thrive on group interaction, Crossovers will act as a more traditional linear story-telling and will be solely based in the present, thus setting the standard which 'Chapters' can base their timeline upon. Lastly, there will be 'Crises', these Crises will be Universe wide and will change the status quo of the entire game as needed. This can be used to re-align players by challenging their personal beliefs, open gateways to the multiverse, repel alien invasions or even a total rebirth of the roster to allow new players to take up roles which have been abandoned with a completely clean slate.

It is important to remember that interaction, much like any role-play, is the bread and butter of the game. To that end, players are encourage to work together not only during Crossovers and Crises but also on their individual Chapters. Classic teams ups such as Batman and Robin or Wolverine and Hawkeye are always welcome, but don't forget, this is a One Universe Rp where the Devil of Hell's Kitchen can work alongside Gotham's Dark Knight.

I thank you for your interest in Absolute Comics and look forward to seeing everyone's stories unfold.

Ω G A M E P L A Y:

CHAPTERS:
Chapters are the stories told by the players themselves for whichever characters they have chosen to portray. These stories need not take place in the same present as that which the Crossovers are taking place. This allows you, the player to portay your character at whichever part of their career you wish to. Events which take place in the future or near future will be accommodated by Crossovers moving forward in order to try and maintain a solid timeline. Elseworld stories are also encouraged if you have a different take on a character which doesn't suit the current timeline or world.

CROSSOVERS:
Crossovers are the life blood of the RP. These are linear events which contribute to larger over-arching story. At any one time, there will be as many Crossovers happening as needed to contribute to all interested parties. Crossovers take place a city to national level, pending the amount of players involved in the current crossover. Players are not required to participate in every crossover, but they should try to contribute to them as often as possible. You will never be required to remain within the crossover for its entire run unless you become integral to its story. If you are playing multiple characters, you need only contribute to Crossovers with one character.

CRISES:
Crises are large scale events which affect the roleplay on a massive scale. These events can be global, universal or even mutli-dimensional. Ideally, the occuring Crisis will affect all players, but all players need not directly contribute to the Crisis at hand. The outcome of these events will affect the roleplay's status quo, wiping the slate clean or drastically changing the present world. This could mean something like DC's Rebirth where abandoned characters can be reset allowing new players to assume their roles without the need to continue previous stories, or Marvel's Civil War where characters and their beliefs will be challenged, changing the alignment of different characters and the shape of different team rosters. These events won't take place often but when they do, they will be designed to directly impact the RP.

Daredevil

"A good lawyer knows the law. A great lawyer knows the judge."

Matthew Michael Murdock ♦ 6/5/87 ( 30 ) ♦ Male ♦ Heroic


C O N C E P T A B S T R A C T:


Matt Murdock is a "bad guy." A slightly twisted life has turned our blind lawyer into one of the city's best mob lawyers and a reviled figure in the criminal justice community of New York. Then at night, he becomes the Devil. The Devil is feared in the underworld as a violent criminal who is slowly climbing the ladder to become the city's kingpin. The part is an act, with Matt using the front as a criminal to actually attack the people who killed his father.


A R C I D E A S:
Nolo Contendere - After accepting to take up the murder defense of a young man pro bono, Matt begins to discover his client is truly innocent despite his many claims that he is guilty. As Matt tries to get the case thrown out based on evidence, Daredevil looks into the young man's past and neighborhood and discovers a sinister conspiracy.

Casus Belli - A shaky alliance between the mob and the Crusaders MC is in tatters after a drug deal gone bad ends with dead men on both sides and a missing briefcase with a million dollars in it. While Matt Murdock tires to prevent a gang war between his clients, Daredevil tears up the city in search of the perpetrators of the attack and the missing money.

Hostis Humani Generis - A vigilante has come to the city, reigning down death and destruction to those in need of punishment. Among the killers targets is Matt Murdock, the city's number one criminal lawyer.

N O T E S:
Nothing to add at the moment.

@Lord Wraith I’ve been keeping my eyes on this for awhile and have to ask if The Black Canary is acceptable for portrayal? Seems like a stupid question but thought I’d ask it anyway. :)

She definitely is! And one of my favourites too, would love to see a Black Canary in action.

I’ve started rewatching Arrow and could not help but love her, both versions, all over again.

Uhm, I am going to go ahead and fill you in that my boss is on vacation this week so I am watching the store but I will certainly try my best to get a sheet up before the week is out. I hope that’s okay. :)
