[OOC] Sensation & Wonder: An Absolute Comics Roleplay [DC & Marvel One Universe Style Game]

[Lord Wraith]

Sheets are looking great guys. Loving the diversity of the cast.

[Lord Wraith]

@Lord Wraith I might be gone when the RP starts, but when I get back I'll give my first post.

@Kale19

No worries! We'll be here.

[Sep]

I sleep for a couple of hours and suddenly supernatural characters appear.

[Dead Cruiser]

Still thinking things over. I don't work as well with these sorts of established properties, not sure if I'll actually be able to come up with something up to par with everyone else.

@Dead Cruiser

Don't worry about anyone else's sheet. A lot of us are veterans of these types of games so we tend to be a little extra.

Example Supporting Characters

Ted Kord (Blue Beetle): Honestly... Insect themed superheroes known for quips and a penchant for science? I think it could work for a very, very specific audience.

@webboysurf

Ted Kord?!? In one of THESE games..?

It'll never catch on...

[Sep]

@Hound55it's always good to see you Hound. Even when you're no Blue Beetle.

Hello! I skimmed through the OOC so far to get a general idea of what's going on up to this point but will go back over in some detail. Was wondering if anyone had any plans or thoughts for any mutants so far? Or like what current state the X-Men are in if they even exist.

Clean slate up for grabs at this point.

@Kyoka

Basically what Hound said. Right now we're leaving it clean, people know Mutants exist and we're having Mutants and Metahumans be different but nothing beyond that has been established. We've not even touched on Magneto

[Kyoka]

Hmmm I am quite interested in the X-Men, if anyone else is also interested pls let me know and maybe we could work on it together? I don't feel very confident taking on such a prominent group alone but if there is someone else or even several people I think I would be much more comfortable.

[Sep]

@Kyoka I don't wanna say here as I don't know it they're ready to tell yet, but I know someone who's working on the X-Men. I'll ask them to PM you.

The benefit of this game type is other people can turn up and run random X-Men for a story and then leave

Ah thank you, I would appreciate that c:

@Kyoka

Depending on the story I'd be happy to write the odd mutant character. I was initially considering something X-men related myself and also found have full reign of the group a bit daunting

Doesn't help that my favourite mutants tend to be more of the secondary/student characters

[Sep]

@Natty I was thinking the same. Jumping in now and then as Colossus when needed.

[Hound55]

Likewise, I lean a little more New Mutants/Gen X/Excalibur than the original team, myself.

QOTD: _______________________________ Thought it could be fun to stir up some conversation while we get closer to the deadline. Thinking about the character you've chosen, what type of 'CRISIS' event are they most likely to answer to? In this style of game, we've defined Crises as large-scale events that have ripples across the entire RP. In the first season of Ultimate One Universe, we had the face-off with the Silver Surfer. Most recently in Absolute Comics, we had Stryfe plan an attack in three separate locations across the country. Heading into Sensation & Wonder, Doc, Sep and I are working on something entirely new but I'd love to hear what the ideal is for everyone's characters.

[Hound55]

Hawkeye, baby! Anything and everything you'd call the world's premier team for!

[Rapid Reader]

I think Ragwoman is pretty flexible in terms of a CRISES she cares about.

Anything major Evil with a capital E would probably grab the attention of her raggedy suit of justice. I think similarly to the justice oriented version of Raven that @Hillan proposed, Ragwoman is pretty easy to involve in almost any plot since a part of her focus is "punishing true evil".

Related, any CRISES that involves the supernatural or touches on the supernatural would have an obvious and easy connection with Ragwoman (personally at some point I think that it would be wonderful to form a supernatural superhero team with other players for something major, basically the Shadowpact in the RP).

I'm adding some stuff to my character sheet, but I was wondering if anyone had plans for Constantine?

I don't really feel a need to write him as a main character, but he'd be pretty great as a "visiting" character for an Ragwoman issue.

Similarly, if no one else shows interest, I'd love to write Zatanna as a roaming or supporting character (or have her appear if someone else wants to write her).

The dream is probably Hellboy though (sorry not sorry).

Either way if anyone has any level of supernatural character interest, pop by my character sheet later today and I'll have some updates in the character note section on characters I think would be fun to involve at some point (but more than happy to talk things through if someone else has their heart set on one of those characters, everything I have in mind is mostly ideas at this point and I just want to offer some chances for collaboration).

As an example for more of a major event type of scenario, if someone wanted to write Dr. Strange for a bit, I bet we could figure out a fun crossover issue.

@Rapid Reader

If you're looking for another player to 'guest write' Constantine anytime, I happen to know both @Roman and @John Table have great versions of Constantine.
