To clarify, characters have to be from one of those two franchises, correct?

ABSOLUTE COMICS - JUSTICE RISING


January 31, 2019



The Being in the impeccable white suit walked among the throngs of celebrating humans. It passed through the crowd as if It was Moses parting the Red Sea. Humans ebbed and flowed out of Its way subconsciously as It exerted Its influence on them as casually as one of the pitiful primates breathed.

It watched as the fireworks went off in the night sky, people hugged and kissed their significant others, and friends sang along with the inane song that they always played on this night of the year. There was so much the Being would never understand of these worlds, yet they fascinated It all the same. All these beings living fleeting, insignificant lives, yet every moment they burned as if they were a universe all in their own. Emotions swirled in them like nebulas, exploding forth in words and actions like stars and planets. It was a thing to behold. So much sound and fury all signifying the most banal thing creation could ever have conceived.

So many of these little worlds had been its entertainment. It had traveled from one universe to the next, watching and studying. It learned something new each time about the banality of the multiverse. It longed to make these worlds perfect, to complete their meager lives by providing something they all lacked: A purpose.

Still, some of them were of interest. Beings of almost mythic power compared to their compatriots on these little balls of dirt called planets. They did not possess the kind of power It did, but they were still leaps and bounds more impressive than the normal rabble that mulled around it. They had terrific strength, speed, and watching them smash into one another like a child played with toys gave the being a thrill It could not get looking elsewhere over all the creations.

It was why It had brought them all here, why It had taken all the time and energy to form this branch of the multiverse and make it perfect for its inhabitants. It was a grand experiment undertaken by The Being.

And it was such a great disappointment.

Heroes It had selected for its enjoyment had disappeared, seemingly into thin air. Gone to ground due to one reason or the other. Those that remained fought valiantly, but The Being knew how this would end if nothing was done. The heroes It found so engrossing would be snuffed out by these normal, pedestrian cretins that surrounded them. Fearful creatures that saw something different and wanted to do nothing but make sure it was brought to heel or snuffed out.

The Being couldn't have that. Not after It had worked so hard to bring them all together. This was Its world, and It was going to keep it.

The Being in the Suit came to a stop in the middle of the crowd and breathed deep, raising Its hands to the air. Most of the humans around It, if they even noticed, would have seen it as an act of taking in the moment.

In reality, The Being was reshaping all of reality. It felt every atom, every tachyon, of existence swirling around It. Every insignificant part of creation was at Its beck and call, falling into place exactly as It wanted it. No more would the mundane dominate Its creation.

No, now this would be the Universe of the most climactic battle of good versus evil the multiverse had ever seen.

"This is going to be fun," The Being smiled to Itself as it continued walking through the crowd.

"This isn't freedom. It's fear."

Steve Rogers is a man on the run. After being convinced to go back into action by fellow former-SHIELD agent Roy Harper, Steve found a young mutant girl being experimented on by a radical militia in Montana. The paper trail lead to a US Senator, with the possibility of more involved in the mysterious experiments. Now with the young girl named Rogue in tow, the former Captain America searches for how deep the conspiracy goes, and what the experiment was meant to achieve. But he will not be able to do it alone, and a group of old and new allies will rally around Steve Rogers in order to safe guard freedom and justice for all.

C H A R A C T E R M O T I V A T I O N S & G O A L S:
Steve Rogers is one of my favorite fictional characters, and has always been one of my favorite characters to play. But I've never played him as Nomad on the run from a corrupt SHIELD and trying to protect his new charge in Rogue. Steve will be torn by trying to unseat the corrupt and trying to be a good surrogate father for the girl. Plus, he will realize that the superheroes of the world need to come together or risk being picked off one-by-one.

C H A R A C T E R N O T E S:
The Outsiders

Anna Marie/Rogue - The teen girl that Steve rescued from the Church of Humanity, she now travels along with him. She is independent and can have a temper, but is often more reserved, preferring to spend time with Steve's dog Scout.
Sam Wilson/The Falcon - Grandson of one of Cap's original Howling Commandos.
Natasha Romanoff/The Black Widow - Another former member of Steve's team, Widow is torn on whether to stay with SHIELD or desert the one legitimate organization she has ever been a part of.
Rex Mason/Metamorpho - Coming soon

SHIELD

Nick Fury - One of the highest ranking members of SHIELD, and someone who still believes in Steve Rogers. After the death of his superior, however, Fury was passed over for leadership. Fury now is disillusioned by the shifting morals of SHIELD.
Alexander Pierce - The new head of SHIELD with a distrust of metahumans. Pierce believes that superheroes are more dangerous than they are helpful, and desires to restore a normal order to the world, with humans at the top of it.
Amanda "The Wall" Waller - Pierce's righthand woman in SHIELD.
Taskmaster - A SHIELD agent manipulated by Hydra's machinations

Enemies

Hydra - The former Nazi, and now terrorist, organization that Steve believed he had destroyed at the end of WWII. Hydra has now returned with unknown motivations and leadership, but just as dangerous as ever.
Wolfgang von Strucker - The assumed leader of Hydra
The Winter Soldier - A mysterious assassin that is said to have appeared throughout history to kill Hydra's enemies.
Crossbones - A dangerous mercenary in the employ of Hydra

"We strike hard and fade into the night."

One deep, dark night in Japan, hundreds of years ago, a fearful warrior known as Oroku Saki was defeated. His dream of a shadow empire in Japan, controlled by his Foot Clan behind a puppet regime, was smashed by the emergence of the Tokugawa shogunate. But Saki, known as the Shuredda, was shrewd. He had plans should his plans fail. He disappeared from the world, while the Foot found a new place in the world, where it waited for the perfect time to reemerge.

On another night fifteen years ago in a rainy, busy New York City, a canister of chemicals labelled "TCRI" fell from a truck and shattered on the street. The oozing, glowing liquid inside washed down a sewer grate and into the sewers below. When it did, it came into contact with a rat and four baby turtles. The ooze coated them, and as it did, it began to rewrite their genetic code. It gave them human-like forms and intelligence. The rat, known as Splinter, being much older than the turtles, took on his role as their adoptive father. He named them from a book he found on famous painters. Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo were his world. The rat had memories of his life before the mutation, even if they were faint. From these memories, he trained his children in the ways of ninjutsu, in preparation for a threat he did not recall.

Five years later, the small, weird family was above ground, in the city, scavenging for food. While they did so, a van full of men attempted to take the turtles. Splinter and the boys were able to fight them off, but they were shaken and kept to the sewers unless absolutely necessary from then on. While the family became insular, they did eventually take in a mutated arctic fox named Alopex, who had no idea of her origin.

Eventually, more mutants in the city were located, led by alley cat Old Hob. This group, who called themselves the Mutanimal Liberation Army, was dedicated to protecting mutants from humans. Alopex, swayed by their cause and feeling like an outsider in the family, joined with the Mutanimals.

After failing to stop the return of Oroku Saki, aka the Shredder, and his Foot Clan, the Turtles are now set for their most dangerous altercations ever. Branded as dangerous by the people of the surface, they must stop Saki before he enacts his plan for world domination while also trying to clear their good names!

C H A R A C T E R M O T I V A T I O N S & G O A L S:
I mean, I *always* want to play the TMNT. But basically we seem to (hopefully) have a stable game going, and I want to try it again. I've always wanted to tell the story in a One Universe game, have them interacting with Batman, Spider-Man, etc. I want to tell the definitive Turtles story, melding different parts of their different iterations.

Welcome fans of all comics alike. Absolute Comics is a sandbox based RP that seeks to merge and mix the lore of your favorite characters into one living cohesive world. The idea behind this RP is not to embody our favorite heroes to simply retell iconic stories and origins but to take these characters and make them our own. In fact, the goal of the RP is for players to take their favorite characters and re-imagine them to tell their own stories. We only ask that the 'heart' of the character remains the same. Players will take the roles of their favorite characters and tell stories either alone or in collaboration with other players in order to develop and grow the world.

Welcome fans of Marvel, DC and all comics alike. Absolute Comics is a sandbox based RP that seeks to merge and mix the lore of your favourite characters into one living cohesive world. The idea behind this RP is not to embody our favorite heroes to simply retell iconic stories and origins but to take these characters and make them our own. In fact, the goal of the RP is for players to take their favorite characters and re-imagine them to tell their own stories. We only ask that the 'heart' of the character remains the same. Players will take the roles of their characters and tell stories either alone or in collaboration with other players in order to develop and grow the world.

T H E C O N T I N U I N G S T O R Y:
The Age of Heroes has begun! Across the world, masked men and women have emerged from the shadows to protect peace and justice across the globe. But for every hero that emerges, a multitude of villains rise to challenge them.

In the first year of the new age, heroes began to test their abilities and fought against the rising darkness, culminating in a terrorist attack on multiple cities in the United States. Stryfe and the so-called Mutant Liberation Front released insanity-inducing nanobots. Normal citizens, driven mad by the malicious machines, began tearing one another apart. At the conclusion of the horrible event, Wonder Woman was framed by Stryfe, and Captain America executed the villain, forcing him into retirement.

In the time since, without Wonder Woman and Captain America to inspire the new generation of heroes, the world has become more dangerous. Nefarious forces have began to take the controls of power across the world, capitalizing on the fear of the unknown metahumans represent. SHIELD has become distrustful and has begun policing metahumans with more vigor. Young heroes such as Supergirl, Spider-Man, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have tried to gain a foothold in this dangerous new world, however. And heroes such as Blue Beetle and the Fantastic Four have tried to rehabilitate the superhero reputation across the world. Steve Rogers has also reappeared under the guise of Nomad, bringing the fight directly to the secret cabal attempting to manipulate world events.

Now, the world stands on the edge of the knife, and it is up to you to save it.

C O M M U N I C A T I O N:
All official discussion and announcements will happen through the OOC, however, for those who prefer a faster-paced place of discussion, or just enjoy getting to know your peers, the game also has a Discord Channel.

The Discord link can be found here.

RULES


  • All players will initially be allotted one Character Concept, to begin with. This concept may be any character from a main stream comic book. If applying as a 'Team Concept', a combination roster may be allowed at the scrutiny of the GM Team. Characters originally appearing in Manga or Anime are heavily discouraged because of their incompatibility with western superhero comics. We will judge all properties from outside of the Marvel and DC Universes on a case-by-case basis provided they fit the themes and tones of the game, but the above limitations are definitive.
  • We will grant a second character concept to players who demonstrate a commitment to the game and a consistent posting schedule.
  • Players can compete for characters if an application for your desired character is posted ahead of yours and has not yet been accepted. To compete for a character, you have a twenty-four-hour window to state your intent to compete. The GM Team will then judge the two competing applications.
  • In terms of character creation, you are free to overhaul and redesign any canon character from one of the aforementioned publishers. This means you can tell the story of the character how you believe it should be told. However, there is one major limitation, the heart and soul of the character must stay intact. The character should not be changed so much that they're unrecognizable. This means that Batman can't be a cold-blooded killer any more than Spider-Man can be a rich, well off playboy. Every aspect of the character that isn't a key to their major identity is malleable, this can even include sex and abilities if so desired.
  • Player characters are claimed on a first-come, first-serve basis. If the parent character (i.e. Batman to Robin), hasn’t been claimed, the legacy is just as available. If another player comes along and asks about playing the parent, it’s requested that both players be as accommodating as possible to allow the other to express their vision. It is understandable that sometimes two visions will not mesh, and in this case, we will give the player who came first precedence. If a GM needs to step in as a mediator or an arbiter, we can arrange this in a group PM.
  • The 'parent character' or 'acting parent characters' have a say in any further legacies being applied for. For instance, if you were playing Spider-Gwen, and another player applied as Ben Reilly, as the established 'parent' character, you could are able to voice if the concept compliments your own, or if you would rather the character not be accepted. The GMs will take this into consideration before moving further ahead with any legacy application.
  • Absolutely no 'OOC' chatter in the In Character Thread. If you have a question or anything to explain there is an Out Of Character Thread provided. You have no excuse to make an 'OOC' comment in the IC and if done it will be heavily frowned upon. If you require a more immediate answer, don't hesitate to directly ask the GM Team or relevant player in the Discord.
  • Writing expectations for this roleplay are at least two (2) well-developed paragraphs as a minimum per post. Three (3) to five (5) paragraph posts, however, would be awesome so long as you're not simply chewing the scenery. Proper spelling and grammar is also expected but small mistakes here and there are understandable. Blatant offences will be called out.
  • You are required to post at least once per character within a fourteen (14) day period. There will be a post-check-in, once per week performed by the GMs in order to ensure the IC is moving consistently. Extensions will be given in extenuating circumstances. Please recognize your limitations before joining the RP, if you are unable to post once every ten days, then it's highly likely that you do not have enough time to keep up with the RP. In the event that you do miss the deadline, your character will be listed as 'inactive'. After a further week of inactivity, your character will be expelled, and dealt with as necessary in the IC, whether killed or used as needed and then discarded. This whole process is simply easier if you just let the GM know if you're unable to keep up or simply have lost interest in the RP. If you find yourself in a plot with another player and they disappear, do your best to move on without them and quickly finish the arc to the best of your ability, or ask for the help of a GM.
  • This is a Character-Driven RP, and as such you are encouraged and expected to take charge of your character's sub-plots and storylines. There will be a heavy emphasis on collaborative activities and team building as well. The GMs will be leading the RP in the traditional sense with a driving plot and will ensure the RP keeps moving however we do want to see you develop your characters and produce your own plots. However, we don't want to see you lock your character out of interaction and focus solely on your character and their 'world'. No one enjoys watching you play with yourself, it's always better to let someone else join in on the fun.
