[OOC] The New Frontier: A Marvel/DC One Universe RP

[TimeMasterX]

@TimeMasterXSimilarly with your Hulk application, I don't think there's a need to tie Superman and Hulk to one another if the way you have. If you want to go with the Hulk as a failed attempt to recreate a super soldier I'm fine with that, but his feeding on yellow sun radiation and the Kryptonite thing are a step too far. Similar to your Doom application I would say - don't try to reinvent the wheel.

@Morden Man

I might remove the Hulk application all together to be honest. Not that I have a problem changing things just the lure of this version to me was to write him as a failed Superman villain so I don't think I'd find him as interesting to write in this world. I'm still very interested and might do another heroic character once Doom is finished properly, just figured I'd explain before just deleting the post. :)

Hope that's ok?

[Morden Man]

@TimeMasterX Hulk can still be a foil to Superman without being made from him.

But that's fine. Putting a CS isn't a legally binding agreement.

[Gowi]

By Odin's beard, @Gowi. At once you've taken one of the characters off my shortlist and moved the needle towards another...

@Eddie Brock

I’m not so sure. I’m talking to the GM privately about it right now, but I might have to withdraw the application entirely. Hoping we can reach an amiable conclusion because I've been sketching out plot arcs for her already.

[Eddie Brock]

Don't do it, @Gowi! Withdrawal isn't effective, public school told me so!

[Gowi]

@Eddie Brock

Well, in its current state it doesn't appear to be acceptable. But that's between me and the GM. I am trying to understand the reasoning for it, so I don't know how this is going to turn out.

[Morden Man]

The Punishers and Batman are approved.

The application process for Superman is now closed. You can read Gowi's application and then my application and cast your votes for who you think should be Superman. For the avoidance of doubt, we'll say only people that have been active in the OOC thread or expressed an interest in the Interest Check can vote - lest we suddenly be flooded by new created accounts with 6 posts in 1 day.

So hard to pick a character when there are so many to choose from....

Heroes I've considered:
Ghost Rider (Alejandra Jones), some version of Spider-Girl/Woman, some version of Wonder Girl, Jesse Chambers (Jesse Quick/Liberty Belle), X-23, Psylocke, Vixen, Husk, Miss Martian, Spoiler, and Karma.

Villains I've considered:
Menace, Fury the Goblin Queen, Ursa, Faora-Ul, the Beetle (Janice Lincoln), and Killer Frost.

Some of the above characters I've considered changing their alignments.

@Morden Man

Through what form will we cast our votes?

@ErsatzEmperor

Exactly what I was going to ask.

[Vandy]

I assume we just "like" whichever we prefer...

@Divine Darkness

Yessss. Bring on the ladies.

[Morden Man]

For the avoidance of doubt I'm going to restate for everyone's benefit that this is a One Universe roleplay and not an Ultimate one.

That means that Matt Murdock of the New Frontier world is the same Matt Murdock of the 616 universe at birth. The events thereafter may have changed slightly due to the fact he grew up in the same world as Superman, Green Lantern, The Flash, etc. For example, Dr. Strange may not be the Sorcerer Supreme of the New Frontier world if a DC mystic is deemed to be more powerful than him. That's not an existential change to the character but a byproduct of the characters having lived in the same world.

Fundamentally changing a character outside of these parameters is not acceptable. You need to explain how said Marvel or DC character coexisting with their other company counterpart has caused the changes you wish to make.

Are we all clear on that? Because it seems like there is still some confusion.

[Morden Man]

@ErsatzEmperor

I think we're adult enough to hold a public vote? Just post in the OOC thread and we'll keep a tally of the votes as we go along.

[The Grey Warden]

I am debating whether I should focus on Green Arrow or try to give Catwoman another shot (since I didn't spend the time that I wanted on her).

As for the Supermans, they both are good and it makes it difficult to vote. I like Morden Man's Supporting Cast and Gowi's difference from the source material.

Give me a while to look them and then I will decide on who has the better Superman.

@Morden Man

Adult enough?

I think you misunderestimate me, sir.

[miette]

I've been sitting back on this as I'm further behind than you all in my creative process. I have a hankering to play any of the following.

Nightwing
Jean Grey/Phoenix
Mystique
Doom

Just registering some interest so as not to seem a ghost party. I'm working on ideas and should have a finalised CS (leaning towards Mystique) to chuck up on here within the next 24.

[Morden Man]

Oh crap, I keep totally forgetting about Killer Moth because the sheet is in a hider sandwiched between huge sheets.

You're approved, dawg. @Kingfisher

@miette

That's a pretty cool coincidence if you were to do Mystique.. I was leaning towards (and even started) a Nightcrawler CS. The possibilities are endless.

[ErsatzEmperor]

Let's get this going!

After due consideration, I'm giving my vote for Superman to @Gowi. Now let's get this show on the road!
