[OOC] CLOSED - Ultimate One Universe: Season One

[Retired]

@Lord Wraith Lightning for God of Thunder you freaking idiot.

@Sep

They can tag-team.

[Sep]

@Retired Shhh, little do you know Iris is going to be a serial hugger and just have snuggles with everyone without them knowing it.

[Retired]

Serious talk for a second.
We can all joke about consensual sex all we want, but let's not make light of that particular topic, okay?
Thanks.

EDIT: Appreciate that edit, Sep.

[Sep]

@Retired To go with the serious topic I do not now, nor ever condone that particular stuff and do not truly make light of it.

[Morden Man]

Perhaps now is a good time to return conversation to the actual game.

I just wanted to say that I think the game has got off to a great start. There's been some great work done so far and I'm very much looking forward to seeing where things go next – and what happens when all our as of yet disparate little worlds collide.

So yeah, go team.

I also like that we have a nice balance of geographical locations. US-wise, anyways. I have always hated when in past games there are a dozen Gotham characters and only a small handful elsewhere. Obviously, this is helped by it being year one, but I hope to see this trend continue should this survive for subsequent seasons.

We don't have enough Scottish Superheroes for my liking.

@Retired

For once, me being a giant control freak of the Gotham-based characters actually pays off!

@Sep

Can't see there being much demand for Wolfsbane and Moira McTaggart somehow.

Am I missing any?

[Sep]

@Master Bruce We should do what the DCEU did and for convienence just have all the major cities surrounding a bay so we're close together.

Why stop there? We can just have each city be it's own borough of New York. Gotham is Brooklyn, Metropolis is Manhattan, Gateway City is Harlem, Central City is Queens, Bounce's space posts are actually revealed to all be on Staten Island. We'll be elbow-to-elbow in no time!

Good lord. I think this would make my head explode.

@Master Bruce

Brilliant! Don't forget we can destroy everything with no consequences. After all, the cities have large areas that are uninhabited by anyone! Not a living soul goes there, not even the homeless.

I see no problem with our plan.

Not that I'm actively trying to make everything about Batman (it just happens), but... the Wayne family canonically hails from Scottish ancestry. It's covered pretty well in this book:

I hope as time passes we embrace the "One Universe"-ness of it more and more, too.

I think it's tempting to kind of hedge your bets and focus on the ultimised aspects of your character but essentially keep their supporting cast and villains the same – or to do the opposite and keep the characters roughly the same and integrate a slightly more mixed cast.

With the F4 I've kind of done the latter but I'm hoping to do both more the further I get into things – and from talking to a few of you away from the OOC thread, some of you have similar plans. Which is exciting.

That's because everybody knows, everything good comes from Scotland.

You're welcome world.

Also, @Master Bruce, @Byrd Man, and @Morden Man. I've mentioned this to others in PM, but I wanted to bring this topic up to you three. I'm personally of the mindset that games like these are better off when players are kept to a single character. If they want to swap in the future, sure, but having multiple, simultaneous characters I feel has historically always caused issues for these particular games. Just as villain NPCs tend to do, though to a more extreme degree.

I know a couple others feel the same way. I can guess that Gowi will be opposed to this idea. But I'm curious where you all stand.

Your chief exports are malnutrition, whiskey and sadness.

@Morden Man

Byrd and EE know this from our private talks in regards to Hell, but I fully am intending to blend Marvel and DC demonology, etc, and later on delve into how they all co-exist. The three of us have laid out some basics just so there's a rough understanding to avoid contradicting one another in posts, but I plan to do more than that. Gradually, though.
