Marvel/DC Crossover?

[Rin]

No explanation and the assumption that everything's just always been like that is the simplest solution, really, and could easily work if we don't want anything too complicated, I guess. I think my favourite suggestions so far are either that or the Mxyzptlk/Impossible Man one really.

[twave]

Hm. Yeah, I guess just not really worrying over the reason is an option. Really it's all about what kind of story is being told. Just about a group of super heroes? Who cares about a reason! Want an over-arching villain? Well, having that massive universal collide would be a reason for all the heroes to fight someone all-powerful.

@Kafka Komedy

I think I would prefer the futility of being stuck dealing with a world that is not quite their own and have to deal with the situation. Because that would be a big deal.

[DrewVonAwesome]

Well I guess I have some idea what I'm doing.

Maybe.

@Lost Cause

I had an idea for Peter Parker if you want to talk over plans and what not.

[twave]

If this RP can be fleshed out that it could be really fun. But at the moment it is extremely loose.

[ImpLaughs]

So far we've got it decided that the world is just like this, both universes together. Maybe it's always been like that? Or maybe both worlds have large portals on them that connect them together like stargate or something like that. So that way iconic places from both are present but people from each universe enter the world.

Assuming this could spread to space, those "stargates" are present in random locations around for some reason!

I think in terms of plot we could go a ton of different ways. Depending on how big this is, we have a couple options.

____

1. A newly created "police force" for both universes that has to deal with problems in both universes. Joker loose in New York City? Mandarin attacking Star City? We got this! Maybe there's a classic "new injustice league" is created to oppose and maximize chaos. Maybe they're trying to truly connect both universes, an event that would cause reality to just crumble as two universes should never fully coexist.

2. Galactus, with new sources of food, has set out in the DC Universe to consume new planets. He manages to consume Mogo, the Green Lantern Planet, and gains access to a limited supply of Will. With even more power, he sets out to consume so much more within both universes. Even gaining allies in cosmic villains from both universes.

3. Mongrul, now with access to more "willing" gladiators for his colesium on his planet, sets out to capture some of the best fighters in both universes to host the ultimate war game. Will our heroes be able to stop him in time? Or will they soon become part of the war games and have to fight to survive or plan the deadly escape?

4. The Brood have spread to both universes and is being led (mind controlled) by Starro to conquer all worlds! With a host of villains and super heroes, as well as the Brood, under his command...will our heroes be able to stop the starred conqueror?!

Those are just a few options I can come up with on the spot.

[DrewVonAwesome]

Again though I just think simple is best. Set up a reality where in it New York City is still what it is, but now Boston is Metropolis, Chicago is Gotham, say Philadelphia is Star City, and St. Louis is Central City. The avengers are SHIELDs big group that are government funded, and considered the official superhero team. Though the heroes that want nothing to do with SHIELD for whatever reason branched off and made the Justice League. Where they're operating privately and funded in secret by Wayne Industries. So while they would be considered a renegade group and some groups and people, like of course J Jonah Jameson, want SHIELD to arrest the justice league. SHIELD realize the good they're doing for the most part and are just going to wait until the justice league give them a reason to be arrested. Of course leading to a very uncomfortable tension between the two teams on the rare occurrence they work together.

O.O Sooooo many great ideas! Maybe it'd be best if we all took a vote and then went from there, since some want a more simpler plot while others want one that is a bit more fleshed out..? Yay or nay?

[ImpLaughs]

I'm cool with voting, provided there isn't an even number of people xD

Though that'd mean you'd have to select who is going to be in the RP, unless anyone is free to vote.

[Kafka Komedy]

A vote would be nice, but I'm kinda unsure of what I want. I'm leaning towards something simpler, but I'll go for whatever.

@Winter Blooms

If we vote, I think it is more than one topic to vote over.
Who?
()Canon Only(including cannon alternate)
()Amalgam
()Originals Only
()All
When?
{}Past
{}Present
{}Future
{}Alternate timeline
Where?
[]Two worlds permanently linked(an open portal in a major city for free flowing traffic 24/7, for example.)
[]Two worlds separated (rare occurrences and limited travel)
[]One world amalgamated (supergladiator flying over Metrocago while darkclaw swings through gothyork)
[]One world apart (Batman trades blows with doctor doom in the blue forest of Pandora)
Why?
<>Contest(good versus evil, one universe versus another)
<>Conflict(all versus one opponent)
<>Conquer(some seeking to use this opportunity to their advantage)
<>Confusion(WTF?!?)

[Deft]

I would prefer a world that explains why we're here through a very simple and unarguable concept that boils down to "just because" logic like magic or something. The reason why we're here doesn't even have to be our concern, who cares why we're here we are and now we have to deal with this world. Maybe some heroes are spawned in this world and have an entire history to themselves while other heroes are pulled from different timelines for whatever reason. That way you're left with so many different possibilities for characters you don't have to worry about timelines and backstories clashing.

[Rin]

I vote we keep it simple, really.

As long as things are nice, simple, and I can use an original character, I'm down with anything.

@knighthawk

This...

@Kafka Komedy

I feel simple would be more easier to work with, but I'd also still like to know why everything is the way it is. If that makes sense. And yes, original characters are a definite yes.

[Rin]

@Winter BloomsConcerning that big, overcomplicated "poll" there, I don't think we need to do anything that complicated at all, really. ^^;

...Also being kind of nitpicky, but it's "canon", not "cannon".

[Kafka Komedy]

If I must vote, then...
(All)
{Present/Future/Alternate Timeline}
[One World Amalgamated/Two Worlds Permanently Linked]
<Conflict/Confusion>

@Kafka Komedy

...But yeah, if for whatever reason we are using that thing, then this is what I'm going for as well.

Yay I get to vote! :D
