Ultimate One Universe - Year-One Style DC And Marvel Shared Universe

[Byrd Man]

My list of people who I feel I can reliably play is exceptionally short

@Sep

If you could go ahead and stop being a little bitch, that'd be greeeeat.

[Lord Wraith]

@Sep Had to make sure someone let you know this time.

And hey, no one claimed the Flash yet!

@Byrd Man

Oh Byrd, you make it seem like you want me to play.

@Lord Wraith

You love me really. I'll come up with someone I'm sure.

[Byrd Man]

Of course I want you to play, my dude. So get your shit together.

Origin And Backstory (Must Be A Single Paragraph Long):

@Master Bruce

So. About this. Is that a hard-set limit on backstory length?

@Tackytaff

Yep. It's a Year One situation, plus it helps people get the CS out of the way and actually get to posting.

[Sep]

@Byrd Man What in relation to conflicting sheets? or is it first come, first served?

[Byrd Man]

When it comes to completing sheets, whoever has the best spin on the character and sample gets the vote.

[mickilennial]

I personally like the idea of "if you cant sum up your origin in one paragraph there's a problem" as a philosophy.

[Master Bruce]

Just a heads up, I'm changing the backstory requirement in the app from one paragraph to four, just to give people more freedom to flesh out their characters. I wanted to curttail the more masturbatory nature that these applications lend themselves to, but given that this is a Year One game that encourages straying from the beaten path, it might be beneficial to enforce the rule but in a looser sense to help people establish differences in how their characters got to where they are.

@Master Bruce

So Minimum One, Maximum Four? Strictly Four? Or Minimum Four? Sorry to be a pain, just want to be sure I understand.

Just when I deleted it all.

Maximim Four, Minimum One. If you want to leave things close to the chest, that's your perogative. I've got no issue with that.

[Enarr]

I missed you @Sep.

[Sep]

No matter who I likely go with, I wanna go really early on in whatever character I go withs history.

@Tackytaff

If it makes you feel any better, my Batman backstory was super barebones, and now I'm gonna have to rewrite it from scratch to make things a bit clearer. So I screwed myself as much as anyone. :P

@Master Bruce

Sounds like someone needs to make really long paragraphs, huh.

@Master Bruce

You've written Batman for over a decade, so I think you have a leg-up on most people when it comes to drawing up the character's backstory.

[Master Bruce]

And yet I just can't seem to stop inventing new ways to kill those damned parents. I'm worse than Warner Bros.

@Master Bruce

I mean how many ways can you kill Thomas & Martha Wayne in an alley near an old cineplex?

[mickilennial]

@Sloth are you just going to lurk or actually declare genuine interest for once?
