Two years ago the masked vigilante and hero spiderman announced his retirement with no reason given. Five months after that crime rates increased by 10% and there was no sign of the web head coming back. A think tank at Oscorp (now ran by a man by the name of Samuel Richards) thought up the idea of supplying the local law enforcement with state of the art weaponry developed by them especially for the police. The idea was accepted almost instantaneously and project Excalibur began to take effect. With in six months every police station in Manhattan was supplied with high tech weaponry able to take down powered villains such as the sand man or electro. Now two years later in the year 2036 Manhattan is at a level of crime equal two or even less than when when spider-man patrolled the streets but things are starting to take a turn for the worse. Now Oscorp is able to do just about anything they want thanks to their now growing government ties and even though it's under new management that doesn't mean Oscorp is going to change its ways. With its new found power Oscorp is slowly but surely beginning to take over Manhattan from the top and pretty soon any hope of actual justice will be just a dream.
That's where the Spider-Men and Women of Manhattan come in.
A month or so ago a quite a few individuals saw the evil in the corporation Oscorp decided to put a stop to it. Using their already existing powers/abilities and some tech gratefully donated from an anonymous source, the Spider-Men and Women of Manhattan was formed to begin an uphill battle against Oscorp. The Spider-Men and Women began hitting Oscorp where it hurt and began targeting research and development sites where Oscorp began doing less than legal testing and experiments. Soon the Spider-Men and Women began to get on the radar of those higher up in Oscorp who saw this now minor annoyance as a possible threat to their plans so using their ties to the law enforcement they issued shoot on sight orders on every member. Soon the army of vigilantes became a smaller group of survivors and those recruited after the the orders were issued. Now those surviving must use all their wits about them to defend the city that wants them dead.
Welcome to Manhattan
--------------------
Hello and welcome to The Spider-Men and Women of Manhattan RolePlay! As you can probably tell from above this will be a spiderman based roleplay with quite a few of some of your favourite characters seen in a new light. In the RP everyone will play as a spiderman themed character with powers or skills to match. Now that being said you don't necessarily have to play with spider man themed powers, you could go for a hero on a old goblin glider or an old version Doc Oc tentacles but if you go in that direction make sure your characters are not extremely over powered.
Now with this rp you got the standard rules of no meta gaming, no power playing, be respectful, GMs word is law (although I'm always up for being corrected if you feel I'm unjust) and last and most importantly have Fun!
Now onto the status of some of the characters you know and love. Also note that if you have an idea for a bit of plot for one of the characters wether it be a conflict or what not feel free to PM me your idea!:
Spider-Man/Peter Parker- Peter Parker and Mary Jane Parker had two children after they were married which really cut into his hero time. After a near death run in with two green goblins consisting of Harry and Norman Osborn in a tag team which ended in their deaths, Spiderman decided to hang up his uniform and become a full time teacher to try and support his new family and hasn't touched his costume since.
Electro- Hasn't been seen since the beginning of project Excalibur but thought to have developed the ability to transfer himself into electronics and has been hiding away waiting for the perfect time to strike.
Harry and Norman Osborn- After the crushing defeat at the hands of spiderman time and again the two Osborn boys began to slowly go insane with their drive to kill the spider and finally they both domed the goblin costume and attacked the Spider-man at the very same time with both overdosing on goblin formula. The battle ended with both goblins falling from their gliders at a great high and into the depths of the water where they had been battling. One body washed up on shore a few days later and was confirmed to be Harry Osborn and the body of Norman Osborn is never found but thought to have been washed away to turn up later or never.
Sandman- The sandman is one of the few villains that turned over a new leaf and began a life of good. Rather than become a hero or anything if the sort he resides at a beach in the summer time constructing massive sand structures for children to play in. By doing this he's gotten exponentially greater in his ability to control his power.
J. Jonah Jameson- He worked at the daily bugle for a year after Spiderman quit his act of heroics (which Jonah threw a office party for everyone to celebrate) but he soon after retired after having the bugle bought out by Oscorp to influence the press on what was being said about Oscorp. He now enjoys his retirement.
Black cat- Felicia began running more under the radar heists in order to avoid being taken down by the new and improved police force. She's been off the grid for a while and doesn't seem to be emerging any time soon.
More will be added as characters are met through RP or ideas are given.
CS:
Name:
Alias:
Age: (I'd like to keep it around early twenties to lat thirties but any age is fine just nothing younger than 17 and no older than sixty)
Powers: (if any)
Skills: (like acrobatics, programming, genius, etc)
Appearance: (written or picture or both. Doesn't matter. Don't forget the costume though!)
Personality: (here you can either give the personality or just say you want you characters personality to be revealed through rp as I know it can sometimes be hard to stick to the personality you originally intended to give a character)
History:
Other: (anything else you may want to add)
That's where the Spider-Men and Women of Manhattan come in.
