Young Avengers: Secret Wars

working on my intro post for jasper now, but before i go any further with it i just wanted to check: have we reached the cut-off point for characters yet? if not, i was considering bringing in an interpretation of iron lad as my second character.

@udonoodles

That's fine, the cut-off will be once all the characters are thawed out and being prepared to meet the Inquisitor. Up until I write that second post moving us to that point, we're still open to new characters and new writers as well XD.

@Dead Cruiser Perhaps I should have detailed the Sentinels out more, but I assumed this line from my intro post would convey the message that these robots were extremely powerful:

“Bloody hell!” he cried out as he, same as everyone else who faced the Sentinels, got his ass thoroughly handed to him.

@CaptainManbeard

I had assumed that would adequately convey the message that everyone should struggle to fight off the robots, but perhaps I should have included more context. Moving forward, I will put more effort into detailing out specifics in that regard, and if you're ever unsure about anything, feel free to shoot me a DM to discuss it. XD

@Dead Cruiser Your post was awesome up until the lime-green portals, then everything kind of went to hell, lol. I'm going to have to ask you to edit it on two points: One, the Sentinels would have arrived in orbit on their ship first, and then would teleport down to the Traveler Scar. So, it would be more akin to "beaming down" from Star Trek rather than using the lime-green portals you mentioned.

And two, you need to drastically tone down Terra's power. It makes the rest of the characters essentially useless if you're just going to one-shot everything, lol. Regardless of how strong she is in the comics, in the Multiverse of this RP, there is no way she would "tear through them like paper" when fighting the Sentinels. All the other characters were clearly struggling against them, and then you have Terra come in and just wipe a bunch of them out effortlessly. If she can so easily defeat Sentinels empowered by and working for a cosmic being such as the Beyonder, then there is no sense of danger as you will likely just have her one-shot everything we go up against, lol. That takes the fun out of the RP.

Think of the power dampeners within the Sentinels as Kryptonite to powered individuals. As soon as Terra gets close to them, she should instantly feel herself start to weaken. I understand the desire to keep her comics-accurate, but the goal should be to create a good synergy between all the characters, not elevate yourself to ridiculous power levels above everyone else in the group XD.

Do I need to break the ice with Terra? lol

Since none of us will be interacting for this first post I imagine the next one will be us arriving at wherever the ships are taking us?

@Dead Cruiser

Yeah, once everyone has their opening post done, I will be moving the story to the Arishem-Exar in my next post. Each intro post should end with the characters placed in cryogenic stasis, and then in the subsequent posts, we are all being thawed out in preparation for the Inquisitor's arrival. So, our characters won't actually meet each other until that second post.

Woo, I'm hype and also completely blown away. Also also gun-shy. What would Kijani be up to.

@Mistress Dizzy

It can be whatever you want. Also, since not all universes share the exact same date and time, don't feel obligated to stick to Summer of 2023. Some universes might only be off by a few nanoseconds, while others could be centuries off. Not all universes began existence at the exact same moment, some were spawned off at later dates, either due to cosmic incursions or parallel timelines as a result of time travel. Basically, there are many thousands of universes in the Multiverse, so just have fun with it XD.

Young Avengers: Secret Wars

No rush XD.

Okay everyone, intro post is finally up. Sorry it took so long, and sorry it turned out so long, lol.

Young Avengers: Secret Wars

Well, shit, LOL. That intro post ending up being like 1800 words, lol. It ends with each of my characters being in the cryopods, but I am waiting to move the story to the prison ship until my next post. Each of you can write as much or as little as you'd like, basically describing what your characters are doing leading up to them being kidnapped by the Sentinels. To account for characters who are strong, the Sentinels are equipped with local power dampeners inside their bodies, meaning anyone who gets in close proximity to them will feel their powers being drained away rapidly.

I'm adding in my BB Codes for the intro post and then it will be along shortly.

Young Avengers: Secret Wars

Well, the intro post is ending up a lot longer than I originally planned, lol. The opening scene I had in mind would spoil Stranger Things even without the images, I realized, so I took some time to think up a different opening. I should have it done within the next few hours and have it up. Once it has been posted, feel free to begin using the OOC thread for discussions.
