Christmas today, dragged interstate. Will get something done over the next few days though.
Apologies for my absence. Got swamped with work. I'll have something up for Bounce tomorrow.
Hound, please make sure your wife is aware there are greater things at stake than simple office politics.
I might try and sneak in a Thor post today or tomorrow. Dr Fate is gonna sit on the back burner for a minute or two.
Not that I think anyone is waiting on me, but I'm gonna ask for a little leniency regarding post frequency in the next month. I have a surgery on Tuesday, and I expect the recovery/followups will command a lot of my time in the following weeks.

Worse... her distant relations
I had a big event with the girlfriends family yesterday which kind of derailed posting. I'm off today so fingers crossed

C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P TTen years ago, Reed Richards, Susan Storm, Johnny Storm and Ben Grimm set out together to test the world's first superluminal-capable spacecraft. Their vessel passed through cosmological event, exposing them to an impossibly high dosage of unknown radiation that fundamentally restructured the crews' genetic makeup. Upon returning to earth, the four of them pledged to utilize their new abilities for the betterment of mankind, christening themselves as the Fantastic Four.
They've spent the last decade protecting humanity from all sorts of fantastical threats: the Mole Man, the Wizard, Ronan the Accuser and the Super-Skrull, Annihilus, Victor Von Doom, the Council of Reeds, Mongul, as well as a host of others. The four of them have explored a vast multitude of planets, dimensions and universes. They have discovered unimaginable truths about the nature of existence, and they have stood before cosmic entities of existential significance. Through it all they've only grown closer as a team- and a family.________________________________________________________________________________________P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S )
P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S )Put simply, I have an itch for high-concept science fiction shenanigans that only the Fantastic Four can fill. I've been reading Johnathan Hickman's run and I'm brimming with inspiration. Its always sort of surprising how one of the oldest and most established superhero teams gets little attention in these One Universe Games, but Morden Man's foray in UOU is something I've gone back to several times while stewing on this sheet. Its just plain good.
As for the character themselves, I decided to take advantage of our longer timeline to include the team's rich history. They're all veteran heroes at this point, ready for just about anything that you could throw at them- or so they believe. I'll be putting a great deal of my focus toward the family dynamic of the Fantastic Four, especially in regards to each member's relationship with Valeria and Franklin, the Richards' kids. Something Hickman emphasizes in his run is the importance of family, and whether or not we're willing to put it before everything else- and in that run's case, before the world. That's something I'd like to touch on as well.

On this note, I'm going to start enforcing our inactivity timer of 14 days starting tomorrow. Since it's pretty detailed in the rules and was never formally addressed back at the start of the RP. Will either spur activity or free up unplayed characters.
