[OOC] All-Star Marvel: Doomed Future!

[Sep]

This thread is subject to tweaking...

ALL STAR MARVEL : DOOMED FUTURE

Main Thread

Welcome to Doomed Future this is an Alternate Future for the main continuity of All-Star Marvel. Nuclear war has destroyed the world, only Dystopia a city saved by the Asgardian and former Avenger Loki still stands and is suitable for human life. It is ruled by a tyrant, a ruler who has ruled for generations of human life. Maestro, a green being that some say used to be a raging monster who now has greater intellect than most humans. He rules with an Iron Fist, ensuring that everyone plays their part in society and never leave their assigned role. While he also ensures that the rogue mutant societys that can live out in the badlands are kept under control, stepping down on any attempt of rebellion.

Despite that there are rumours... of an old man trying to gather up the power to take on Maestro. The real question is, do they have the power to change the world?

---

What is this?

This is an Alternate Future where Hulk due to the combination of intense radiation and the loss of a friend and an experimental drug has turned into the Maestro. Stronger than he has ever been, bar one occasion, and more intelligent than the Hulk has ever been. Dystopia is the capital of a ruined world. An area saved by Loki in his final moments from the bombs as they fell.

Everything else is the badlands, where only mutants can survive the harmful radiation.

Who can I play?

Anyone in the Marvel Universe, with the exception of Maestro and any characters listed Here. You can however take on a legacy character (Future child/replacement).

Players will be allowed a maximum of two characters, I ask kindly that anyone from the main continuity of ASM only brings one of their characters forward if they have the life span.

ASM-Players: Please provide an updated history/power list as needed.

Questions... If you got them, I'll answer them.

[Dedonus]

How far in the future does this take place from the current timeline in ASM?

@Dedonus

100 years, that'll be clearer when I make out the timeline. In ASM it's mentioned in Dooms post where he actually travels.

[Sep]

@Natty I did a thing :P

[Natty]

Ooh! :D

I'll get an update America up when i can! May have to be this weekend though as that coursework is being more of a pain than i thought!

[Dedonus]

My only issue with this being set so far into the future is that it eliminates pretty much the entire cast from the mother-game, unless that character has a healing factor (Wolverine), a different life expectancy (i.e. different species), or immortality. Furthermore, we will not be seeing our characters' children or even their children. Honestly, there would be so many generations within that 300 year gap that our heroes probably would either be irrelevant or myths by then. I would suspect that none of the "children" characters would have any emotional attachment to their 300 year-old predecessors.

@Dedonus

I can pull it down if you want, but it will make the badlands more dangerous in terms of leftover radiation.

@Sep

I think the only other way to have characters who have an emotional attachment to our current characters is do a "Cable" (someone from this future goes back in time and raises the children in the future). It would make sense in context because when the children probably would be born would be in the end of the "Age of Heroes".

@Dedonus

Well. So far you and @Natty are the only two from the main thread wanting to pay a visit :P Natty has long lived characters so your call.

[Sep]

@Dedonus@Natty@Facepunch@DrewVonAwesome@Spud brought it down to a mere 60 years on our main continuity and it still works.

Any further comments/problems/questions let me know.

[Natty]

Still definitely thinking about America, who would probably now appear in her late 30s/40s due to her extended lifespan.

However part of me wants to introduce another character. A legacy this time though. Possibly of a super villain or an obscure hero. I'll think on it as I have a few ideas!

[FacePunch]

Definitely playing Wolverine. His history with the Hulk will make this very interesting.

[Natty]

Thought i'd give you a quick glimpse at my secondary character before i continue...

The hero Dystopia deserves, but not the one it needs right now

NAME: The Boulder, Previously Butterball AKA Emery Schaub

MORALITY: Hero

AFFILIATION: The Young Avengers, The Avengers, The Resistance

ORIGIN:

hider

Yeah, I'll get to this...

POWERS/ABILITIES:

Superhuman Abilities

It'll appear here one day

Learned Abilities

Maybe if you close your eyes for a second this will appear? Probably not, but it could happen.

Sample Post:

I'll get to this too...

[Sep]

I had Maestro almost finished...

I just need to figure out where I put him. Also some of his history when I find him won't appear for a while, as I need to wait until I know who is using who when I'm working out his history especially when interacting with the Avengers :P

Also @Natty I'll point out the Avengers don't technically exist anymore, though I suppose it's possible some members of the resistance have delusions of grandeur (Though be expected to be told as much ;))

@Sep

Honestly my plan for Butterball Boulder was to have him debut in like 2015-2020 (probably closer to 2015). His time on the Avengers was brief, like he was drafted onto them during the war against the Union. Due to his abilities, I figured that he'd end up surviving the blast and still appear to be an overweight teenager in 2072 :P

If not i can rework my origin for him, and just make him some fanboy of the old days from Dystopia. That might make him seem more intone with his canon characterization but i honestly thought it might be interesting to turn a comic relief character into a battle-worn war veteran.

@Natty

That's fine, I'm not actually familiar with his power set. Though if it works it works :P

@Sep

He's basically completely invulnerable, but his powers activated when he was a somewhat large and out of shape teenager so he's "frozen" at that physical state making his body incapable of losing or gaining weight or muscle mass (taken from the wikia :P)

[Dedonus]

I'll try to work on my application tonight/tomorrow.

[DrewVonAwesome]

I have some ideas I'm looking at, a combo of Torus Storm and Franklin Richards (Who will have Super skrull powers because of in the battle he had to lose his cosmic changing powers. Unless you're willing to let him have it for some reason.) I was also looking at Skaar because FIGHT THE POWER. Or even Billy Kaplan and Tommy Shepherd... with the idea being Scarlet Witch in order to save her and her brother, had their souls transferred into different people.

@Natty

I guess he's still going then :P

Hell, he's likely the only fat man left on Earth.

@DrewVonAwesome

Skaar wouldn't be any relation to Hulk I'll point out, and standard Legacy skepticism applies :P With Scarlet Witch you may want to check with Eru as he may decide to bring her here.
