[OOC] Rogue Continuum [CLOSED PENDING REBOOT]

Thanks!

And, yep. The sun is magical and projecting sort of a firewall around the entire solar system. No information of any kind, including light, in or out. So no, nobody knows about other galaxies and universes on this Earth! And nobody in other galaxies or universe discovers Earth.

I'm sure there are theories about it, like the sun had to come from somewhere, right? But it's just guesswork, because there's literally no way to tell. Meanwhile the universe outside is super wild and full of all sorts of nasty stuff that her Newtonium telescope detected. Like the best telescope and scanner, ever. Basically magic, lol. Like most of Stark's tech. I mean she saw Thanos, and Galactus, and all sorts of bad stuff. Stuff that's about to find out where Earth is in a few decades time. I think that would spur a sudden urge in her to create something, anything, that could stand up to that stuff and protect Earth. Like, say, Ultron. :P

At first I thought it might be a little much for her to be the only person in history to have figured out this new mega powerful element and use it to scan the universe, but then I remembered Stark has literally been the first person to invent time travel so, hey, this could be that for her, lol.

edit: Would you want me to go into more detail about her combat abilities were she accepted? or even before?

@Zoey White

That won't be necessary at the moment. Should the character be accepted we can figure that out in more detail then. I may have more questions as the week progresses and I get a better idea of potential team dynamics. Thank you for the answers you've already provided.

[Master Bruce]

I am curious, though, when you say he has adopted the guise of a young billionaire, do you mean he is simply behaving as the playboy, heir apparent everyone expects him to be, as is normal for the character, or that he has crafted himself a new identity? I assume the former and you're going the typical route, albeit more extreme, but I'm just checking.

@Retired

The former is correct. His imitation of a "sane" person is to act the fool who relishes in his wealth and attention from the press. If he were ever outed, I imagine it'd be like discovering one of the Kardashians were secretly Jeffrey Dahmer all along.

@Master Bruce

I don't see how this is farfetched...

But, noted. Also, given he is both more modeled after his pulp iterations but still exists in a modern world, what sort of gadgetry does he operate with? I don't need a full layout at the moment, just a rough idea of the sort of equipment quality this Batman is used to. I'm imagining more simple batarangs and grappling hooks over sonar grenades and infrared vision.

The OG Batman largely used batarangs, rope, smoke pellets (practically his go-to, in those days) and the occasional firearm, so you're not far off. I think the biggest difference for nessescity is that he'd still have some kind of super-computer, frag/flash grenades, and The Batmobile, which would be militarized... all of which he'd probably lose anyway as an abductee. But he's definitely way more reliant on basic cunning than high-tech prowess.

@Master Bruce

Alright, makes sense to me. And, yes, the tech-based characters will definitely have lost out on some of their gear upon abduction. For the purposes of making his games more entertaining, Mojo would have the slaves provided with certain equipment and costumes - gotta be flashy for the audience. I imagine for certain characters their equipment/armor would also suffer damage in the death games. Upon acceptance, these sorts of details will be worked out. But you would have a limited supply of gear to utilize.

Which makes it interesting when arriving on alternate worlds and realizing you need to replenish. What's that? Pull off a heist on this reality's Batcave to restock on batarangs? What could go wrong...

_{Doc Green}

| Name |

Bruce Banner

| Age |

35

| Character Differences |

Doc Green more resembles She-Hulk than the traditional Bruce Banner and Hulk dynamic. Bruce is the dominant persona, with the Hulk persona's savage rage merging with Bruce's own persona when transformed. While Doc Green can grow stronger the more angry he gets, the merging of the two personas has placed a significant "cap" on how strong the Hulk can get. The downside for Bruce fully controlling the Hulk persona: Doc Green isn't capable of reaching the heights the Hulk did. Cosmetically, Doc Green is about half the size of the Hulk, and has managed to retain the beard and hair-style of Bruce Banner. He also tries to wear clothes as much as he possibly can... though finding some that fit is a large ask.

| Brief World Background |

Earth 59301 // "Desert Earth"

In this amalgamated DC/Marvel Universe, the world at large has become a wasteland. The world's greatest minds, from Ray Palmer to Reed Richards did their best to find a way to reverse the effects of Global Warming, but it was all for naught. In the year 2030, as the world was plagued with various ecological disasters. While Bruce Banner and Tony Stark experimented with cleaner energy sources in an attempt to at least slow down the coming ecological doomsday, Victor von Doom and Lex Luthor came up with another strategy: speed up the process. The Illuminati, consisting of individuals such as Black Bolt, Doctor Doom, Mr. Fantastic, Black Panther, Gorilla Grodd, Bruce Wayne, Lex Luthor, Norman Osborn, and Tony Stark (at the tail end, when convinced his efforts wouldn't solve the problem) worked together to create their own "safe havens" around the world that would house a limited amount of the world population in climate-controlled and shielded environments. They also worked on another plan: create a device that would speed up the effects of global warming in a hope that it the Earth would "reset" itself.

Their efforts didn't exactly work as intended. The disasters became that much more disastrous, and billions died violent deaths due to these incredibly powerful natural disasters. Those who managed to survive, especially those heroes and villains who noticed that some of their counterparts had disappeared while the world needed them most, began searching for the rumored "safe havens." Those heroes and villains who didn't perish in the natural disasters sought refuge within their Safe Havens of choice. However, even as power shifted hands within some of these safe havens, one thing remained the same: free will and knowledge of the Illuminati's plan could not be allowed to circulate. Order needed to be maintained... for humanity's sake. The rest of the world has practically become a desert wasteland.

| Brief Character Background |

Bruce Banner was born in the mid 1990's, and was not raised in the most healthy environment. His father was an abusive alcoholic who constantly tormented his son. Despite the years of abuse, Bruce did everything he could to study hard. He was admitted to MIT when he was sixteen to study nuclear physics, as he believed that the solution to clean energy lied in nuclear power. It was here that Bruce got in touch with Professor Igor Starsky and fellow student Walter Langkowski. The three formed an intellectual trio incredibly interested in the potential of gamma radiation. The three ended up accepting a government contract to work at Desert Base in New Mexico, working on a gamma device. The device was intended to be an alternative power source, but 8 years of work yielded no results. General Ross, the CO of Desert Base, secretly met with Dr. Starsky to discuss the possibility of retooling the device into a weapon. Starsky ultimately agreed, and he set to work on developing the weapon.

Langkowski, after discovering what Dr. Starsky had agreed to, protested the decision for a time before relenting to continue working on the project. Bruce, on the other hand, never bothered to protest as he knew that he needed Starsky's expertise in the future. Of course, Bruce's life would be forever changed by this. He found himself working late one fateful night, picking up a shift from Starsky last minute. When he entered the chamber with the device that night, he found irregular readings. It turned out that Langkowski was attempting to get revenge on Starsky by tampering with the device. Of course, Bruce was the one who found himself exposed to high levels of Gamma Radiation. The Hulk was born.

For some time, Bruce Banner's story was one of a man tormented by his inner monster. He rampaged through the Southwestern United States for years, until one fateful encounter with Charles Xavier and the X-Men. While Charles' X-Men were keeping the Hulk distracted, Xavier delved into the beast's mind to find and confront Bruce Banner. Together, the two managed to bring Bruce's persona to the forefront once again and establish mental blocks to help Bruce maintain control over his alter-ego. Together, the two could form Doc Green and Bruce could control his angry outbursts to become a positive member of society once again. With the coming ecological crisis, Bruce reached out to famed inventor Tony Stark offering his expertise with gamma radiation to find a clean energy solution.

The two worked together until "The Event" in late 2030. Bruce helped Stark create a more powerful arc reactor that made use of gamma radiation. Of course, while Bruce hoped that this would be used to save the world, Stark ended up having a different idea. Instead of commercializing the device, Stark used the reactor to help power Luther and Doom's device. When the event happened, Bruce found himself in Malibu enjoying a vacation. When the earthquakes hit and began splitting California away from the rest of the U.S., Doc Green and other heroes rushed in to help minimize the damage. Despite their efforts, over a billion people died in the span of two weeks.

Bruce began to put the pieces together when Stark reached out to offer the esteemed physicist a spot in his own personal paradise in Las Vegas. Call it ego or personal responsibility, but Doc Green decided to answer Stark's invitation. Once inside Stark's safe haven, the scientist let his rage seethe to its greatest extent. He managed to storm his way into Tony's personal tower, beating away Stark's drone Iron Man suits, until he got the chance to square off against Iron Man himself. Tony had prepared for this contingency, and had designed a Hulkbuster suit powered by the same gamma-arc reactor that the two geniuses had designed. Doc Green got his ass handed to him easily, and his last memory was of being flown out of Earth's atmosphere by the suit and left to die in the vast coldness of space.

Of course, Mojo couldn't let such a specimen go to waste.

Steve Rogers // The Captain

| Age |

30 years old

| Character Differences |

In this reality, Steve Rogers was, for most of his life, the hero the world needed. Like the main marvel continuity, he served as Captain America in World War II before taking a bit of a dip in the Artic Circle for a few decades. He was awoken in a post-9/11 world, and brought on to a SHIELD sanctioned Defenders team consisting of Wolverine, Hawkeye, Powerman, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, and Justice. Steve Rogers never received his well-known vibranium shield, and instead picked up two collapsible vibranium shields. The biggest change in this Steve from one's traditional understanding of Steve Rogers: he's broken. He has spent two years fighting his fellow heroes to the death, only to get whisked away by Mojo to do the same thing once again.

Some inspiration for this drawn from Marvel's Exiles.

| Brief World Background |

Earth 1313 // "A World Apart"
This Marvel universe is rather lacking of heroes: Reed Richards and his team died from cosmic radiation, Bruce Banner died of cancer from radiation poisoning, and some people like Peter Parker simply missed their happenstance that made them a hero. Of course, that also meant there were few people left to defend the world when the Skrulls invaded. Of course, their invasion was slow and steady at first. Before anyone realized, most world leaders had been replaced by imposters, and humanity was enslaved. The Skrulls had chosen Earth to be the home for their new empire after their own homeworld had been destroyed by Galactus. The strongest and bravest heroes and villains were subjugated and turned into gladiators to fight for sport. The rest of humanity lives either in the Skrull's new colonies on the Earth's surface or on stations in Earth's orbit, living in a lower caste of subservience to their Skrull overlords.

| Brief Character Background |

Steve Rogers was recruited from the age of 18 into Project Rebirth for the United States Army, a secret project designed to create Super Soldiers to stop the war with Nazi Germany. Things didn't go according to plan, and all the research was lost. Steve Rogers remained the only relic of the project, and was drafted into service almost immediately. He became a national celebrity, and was given the name "Captain America." He dedicated himself to fighting HYDRA, a scientific and supernatural research wing of the Nazi army. HYDRA had developed a nuclear bomb, and crafted a bomber to deliver it on New York City in 1945. Steve Rogers caught wind of the plan, and gave his life trying to protect his home city.

Or so he thought. He awoke in the 21st Century to meet Nick Fury, the Director of SHIELD. He was given an offer: continue fighting the good fight and stop the remnants of HYDRA as The Captain. He could hardly refuse, and became an official member of the Defenders team. He helped them successfully defeat the remnants of the old organization, to the best of his knowledge. With his old foes defeated for good, The Captain was made the official leader of the Defenders. But he was unable to stop what was to come.

The Skrull Invasion went perfectly. Galactic threats had occupied some of the strongest heroes, such as Thor and Captain Marvel, when the Skrulls revealed their presence and brought their warships to descend upon the Earth. Earth's mightiest heroes did their best to try and defend the world... but they weren't enough. Within months, only a few pockets of resistance remained. The Captain ended up being captured around this time, and was immediately pressed into hard labor for a short while. To Steve's knowledge, humanity stopped resisting. And once humanity stopped resisting, the Skrulls desired entertainment.

Heroes and villains alike were pitted against each other. With every match, more heroes and villains would fall. A few clear favorites emerged among those who kept winning their fights for survival. Among the favorites, there was no better fan-pleaser to the Skrulls than The Captain. For two years, he fought the Skrulls' games. Steve was in the midst of what was certainly to be his last match against his fellow Defender Wolverine when he found himself plucked from his reality and time. The reality in which Steve found himself was more of the same... for Mojo had use of a gladiator like himself.

Bruce Banner

| Character Differences |

What sets this version of the Hulk aside from the general understanding of the Hulk is that the roles have been reversed for Bruce Banner: he is now the voice that the Hulk attempts to keep hidden away. The Hulk feel betrayed and broken, and I imagine this Hulk as one that Mojo has had in captivity for a long time. Just long enough that the Hulk would be willing play nice with others. The goal with this version of the Hulk is that the Hulk will have to learn how to live and let Bruce Banner have control from time to time, instead of the more typical story of Bruce learning to live with his other half.

Some inspiration for this drawn from the Planet Hulk storyline.

It turned out that Langkowski was attempting to get revenge on Starsky by tampering with the device. Of course, Bruce was the one who found himself exposed to high levels of Gamma Radiation. The Hulk was born.

The bomb was destroyed, and half the base was destroyed as part of the Hulk's rampage. It was assumed Bruce had been killed in the rampage, and he was presumed dead for years as the Hulk continued to be a menace. However, by the time a hero like Superman could arrive on the scene as another town in the rural Americas was destroyed... the Hulk would be gone as Bruce would have reverted into his normal self.

Tony Stark and Clark Kent were the first to discover Bruce's identity. He set up a trap for the Hulk in 2028 after creating his "Hulkbuster" armor. Of course, Stark's armor wasn't quite enough to subdue the Hulk. Just as the Green Menace was about to land the final blow on Stark, Superman arrived and helped defeat the Hulk for the first time. He calmed down and reverted back to Bruce Banner. The two heroes chose to keep Bruce's identity secret, so long as Bruce worked with Stark on finding a clean energy solution.

The two worked together until "The Event" in late 2030. Bruce helped Stark create a more powerful arc reactor that made use of gamma radiation. Of course, while Bruce hoped that this would be used to save the world, Stark ended up having a different idea. Instead, Stark used the reactor to help power Luther and Doom's device. When the event happened, Bruce found himself in Hawaii enjoying a vacation. The volcanoes all activated at once, and the Hulk was activated. This wasn't helped when a suit of Stark's armor arrived and informed Bruce that Tony had to do what needed to be done.

From that point on, Bruce Banner has remained as the Hulk. He was betrayed by the closest thing to a friend he had, and the rage never subsided. The Hulk eventually managed to hit the West Coast of the U.S. It took him nearly four months to discover Stark had made his safe haven in Las Vegas. The Hulk was happy to have a rematch with Iron Man, but it didn't exactly go as planned. Tony's plan this time wasn't to subdue the Hulk... but instead to lure him away from the Safe Haven. Stark was able to encase the Hulk in a modular Iron Man suit that launched the Hulk into space and let him go in wild space. He found breathing in space difficult, and ended up falling unconscious. Of course, Mojo couldn't let such a fine specimen die like that.

The biggest change in this Steve from one's traditional understanding of Steve Rogers: he's broken. Two years as a gladiator for the Skrulls and living as one of the only survivors of Earth's demise at the hands of Galactus has left Steve a shell of the symbol of freedom he used to be.

Some inspiration for this drawn from Marvel's Exiles.

| Brief World Background |

Earth 1313 // "A World Apart"
Earth has been torn asunder. The Fantastic Four were never formed, as they were all killed from radiation poisoning on a routine space experiment. The only defense from Galactus a few years ago were the Illuminati (Stephen Strange, Tony Stark, Namor, and Bruce Banner), but they didn't quite have what it took to save the world from the imminent threat. Instead, they were able to create an "ark" for a limited amount of the Earth's population to escape. Most galactic heroes were able to survive, as well as the Defenders who were on a long-term intergalactic mission in Skrull Territory.

| Brief Character Background |

Steve Rogers was recruited from the age of 18 into Project Rebirth for the United States Army, a secret project designed to create Super Soldiers to stop the war with Nazi Germany. Things didn't go according to plan, and all the research was lost. Steve Rogers remained the only relic of the project, and was drafted into service almost immediately.

He could hardly refuse, and became an official member of the Defenders team. He helped them successfully defeat the remnants of the old organization, to the best of his knowledge. With his old foes defeated for good, The Captain was made the official leader of the Defenders. About a year before Earth's destruction, Richard Rider (Nova) arrived on Earth to warn of an impending threat: Annihilus. He had nowhere else to turn, and needed to gather allies. The Captain, of course, gathered his team of Defenders to search the stars for other allies to take down the galactic threat.

Of course, thinking he could trust Richard Rider was the biggest mistake The Captain could make. The galactic hero was secretly a Skrull in disguise, and used the "threat" as an excuse to drag away some of Earth's mightiest heroes away from their prized Earth. Of course, the Skrulls were hoping to invade. Imagine their shock when they realized they had primed Earth for a feast by Galactus himself. With no other use for the heroes, the Skrull captured the Defenders and made them slaves. Of course, the best use of their talents was to use them for gladatorial combat. Over time, the Defenders began to drop one by one: first was Rhodes, then Barton, Cage, and finally Walters. Even Steve Rogers fell, in a way. He was no longer the symbol of freedom and the American Way: he was simply a gladiator and a killer. He was simply The Captain.

Gotta fix up that sheet later. I think the plan was that Steve is surviving on a Skrull world, and the rest of humanity is stuck on an "ark" of sorts floating in space. Not much of humanity left.

Steve is one of the only humans left in Skrull captivity. There's a chance there could be more... And those that are left are in a precarious position. Not a great reality to be stuck in.

@webboysurf

Alright, well, for story purposes, I need everyone to have been on Earth (or an ark where Earth formerly was, I suppose) when their abduction took place. So if you could work that in, that'd be great. Shouldn't change too much of the concept so long as the Skulls maintain control of Earth orbit, etc. Sort of like Agent of SHIELD's fifth season plot with the Kree.

I also have to admit, I'm on the fence about accepting a Hulk concept. I want to let you know now so there's time to submit a different proposal if you would prefer. Right now I'm not sure how I feel about the viability of a true Hulk in a group that will be together indefinitely. It's not the same as him making frequent Avengers appearances in comics or the team-ups over the years. It'll be an ongoing, nearly inseparable group format. I think if it was more of a Professor Hulk or Joe Fixit-esque concept I could see it being more viable, and I know I would be okay with a She-Hulk. But, while I like the concept itself, I'm just not entirely sure that a full-blown Hulk who is the dominant personality would work well for this.

I haven't made a decision one way or the other yet, as I said just want to let you know my current thoughts long before the app deadline. If you have further ideas for the concept and want to ask me about them directly, feel free to DM me.

Colour me interested. I've been hankering after an Exiles-style game for a while.

I'll have a proper read through the OOC thread and other people's sheets and see if I can come up with anything, but I'm pretty busy in real life at the moment so I don't want to overcommit myself.

[role model]

Somebody told me that I could get accepted in this. I already have a defined character, they aren't an Exile. But, maybe I could do something else to be in. I haven't read the rules and regs yet, but you know I will if I get accepted by way of submitting a character sheet.

So, what's up homeslice? Do I have to be an Exile?

uh, This may not be a character-wise exclusive thread. Excuse that. I confused this Marvel/DC cast for another.

@Morden Man

I feel like this is the type of game where you can comfortably join without feeling overpressured. I care more for reliability and perseverance over rapid-fire posting. Quality over quantity with me. I find you get significantly fewer failed RPs and dropped players that way.

As noted in the opening post, I'm officially only looking to enforce one post per month for each player. And while I expect that there will be times where it's more frequent than that, there won't ever be pressure to churn out posts on a weekly basis. So, hopefully, this would be the sort of relaxed atmosphere that would suit you right now.

It's Richard Stark's Parker. Except he's a duck.

Earth-1878

It's like the real world, only with ducks. In their version of the 1960's.

| Brief Character Background |

Pecker is a master thief. He is an expert at any and all forms of theft, gunplay, and murder. A consummate professional with ruthless efficiency, Pecker was at the height of his career in 1962 when he was abducted by Mojo's men and sent into the arena. Pecker was assumed to be an easy mark, but his years of survival as a criminal gave him certain skills that made him adept to outlasting the combats he has faced. A curious oddity, Pecker has become a fan favorite among those that watch Mojo's games.

I think this app rightly speaks for itself.

Agreed.

To those who have expressed interest thus far, and any who come along next, what alternate worlds or concepts would you like to see? Whether it just be a character you like/think is underutilized and would like to see be the focus of a reality the group visits, or a story arc from the comics you felt didn't end properly and would want to see revisited, or something from our real-world history you think would create a unique reality had it gone a different way, etc.

While I have dozens of alternate realities already plotted out, I am interested and open to including others suggested here.

I think what made the original Exiles so interesting was that the team wasn't comprised solely of marque characters.

Funnily enough, not only were a lot of the more obscure ones (Mimic or Blink, say) actually the more interesting, but it gave the whole run this sense of genuine unpredictability. Anyone could get it. Kind of like the Suicide Squad. So as enthralling as I find "Diana Prince with Mjolnir" concepts, I have to say I love the really out of left field ones. Hopefully I can add something along those lines before the deadline closes.
