Since time long past, Earth has been a world of Marvels. From Gods, to aliens, to mutants, powered individuals have walked the Earth, shaping its history. These ages of heroes would come and go, most recently during World War II, when Captain America would lead a new generation of heroes against evil. This age of heroes would end with the disappearance of the Captain and the end of the war.

However, a new age of heroes would begin in the past several years. There would be the Spider-Man, guardian of New York City, the X-Men, champions of mutant rights, and the Fantastic Four, explorers of all of reality. These early heroes would shape public perception of powered individuals. For mutants in particular, things would be hard with groups like the Friends of Humanity and the Purifiers directly targeting them.

But things would improve with the return of Captain America and the formation of the Avengers, Earth’s mightiest heroes. With the aid of SHIELD, a global peace keeping agency, the heroes of the world would continue to battle evil as it presented itself. However, a specter of the past, the terrorist organization Hydra, would turn out to be a major threat.

It was revealed that for decades, Hydra had secretly been in control of SHIELD, manipulating world events. The Avengers would reveal this secret to the public at large, causing Hydra to take drastic action. Using all the resources of SHIELD, Hydra would begin to attack all the superheroes of Earth. This would lead to a massive crisis in which widespread devastation happened across the planet.

In the end, Hydra was defeated, but at great cost. Many people died and SHIELD was left in shambles, before quickly disbanding itself. This led to a period of uncertainty for the world as they were without a global peace keeper. However, Nick Fury, disgraced former head of SHIELD, would convince Captain America to take control of the defense of the world.

Starting Project: Unlimited, Captain America would begin transforming the Avengers from a superhero team into a global defense agency. Seen as the heroes of the Hydra crisis, the Avengers would be welcomed with open arms by the general public.

Both former members and new heroes would be recruited into the Avengers, as they began creating various teams stationed around the world. One of the first teams formed would be based in New York City, operating out of the Avengers Mansion, former HQ of the Avengers.



This will be an original Marvel roleplay, set in its own Alternate Universe. Right now the lore is loose as it will mostly be determined by the players. The only events I’m ruling out right now is M-Day, the Blip, and the Krakoan Nation. If you are playing a Canon character, you could either play their classic version or re-imagine them in some way. If you wish to play an Original character, just make sure that it would make sense for them being an Avenger.

Rules:
  • Abide by all rules of the Guild.
  • This roleplay is PG-13, so no excessive violence or sexual material.
  • No power gaming.
  • Two character maximum at the start of the game.
  • Post character sheets here to be approved.
  • Have fun!




This is the Character Sheet. Please include all listed sections, but feel free to add more sections if you want. Also fancy it up with BBCode if you want.

Name: (Please put your character’s real name)
Alias: (Include their codename at the very least, and possibly any other names they are known by)
Age: (Must be 18+ or equivalent if non-human)
Gender: (All gender identities are welcomed here)
Appearance: (Can be a written description, image, or both)
Personality: (Could be as simple as a few words related to personality traits, or more expansive if you want)
Powers: (List all powers that the character has at the start of the RP. Also include relevant weaknesses)
Skills: (These can be anything from combat, to professional, or even mundane skills like gardening)
History: (I need two to three posts at minimum, just so we can get a handle on how much or little you are varying up your version of this character. If you want you can include an expanded version)
Sample Story lines: (Just 2 or 3 possible ideas for stories for your character that I can work into the game itself)
Extra/Notes: (A place to put anything else about your character you think we should know)

Here is the discord link.
@Lilissen
No there is still room, and Silk is available. I just ask that you consult @Eviledd1984 as he is playing Spider-Man. And maybe also @PatientBean who is playing Black Cat, and @Birdboy who is playing Lizard, since they are both part of that Spider section of the Marvel Universe.
@webboysurf
Iron Man would definitely work. So would Hawkeye or Mockingbird, just note that ImaginedBird67 was considering playing the Kate Bishop Hawkeye, so you two might need to collaborate if you end up picking related characters.

@Birdboy
A reformed Lizard could work. I’m a big fan of the reformed villain trope.

@Byrd Man
You know what, your example post has swayed me. I will allow Howard the Duck as an Avenger.

@PatientBean @ImaginedBird67 @Crimson Flame
Glad that you guys are as excited for this as I am!

@Sanity43217
I think that original character would work. I’m envisioning that most of the agents and techs of SHIELD who weren’t actually Hydra would have been recruited as support members of the Avengers. Also secret sub-divisions of SHIELD is something we are going to be exploring from practically the start of the story.

ANNOUNCEMENT:
The OOC thread is going up tomorrow.
@Sep
Sorry about the massive delay on my posts. Real life has been crazy lately so I've only had time to quickly respond to posts rather than write out an entire IC post. But I should be fine so I got up a post as both the Ark and the Starjammer.





Location: Coruscant

Upon finishing his introduction, Optimus Prime decided to stand in the corner of the meeting room, his three other officers following after him. Unfortunately the room was not designed with Cybertronians in mind as the four Autobots could neither sit down or stand up fully without hitting their heads on the ceiling.

The Autobots decided to remain silent as the various other parties introduced themselves, Jazz noting that the heavily armored biologicals had a reaction to the sight of the Cybertronians. But Jazz decided to ignore it, as the Autobots probably seemed like some strange alien race. But to the group of Autobots in this room, these biologicals of seemingly the same species were foreign to them, having never encountered them before.

Admiral Killian then began to speak mentioning that something called a Jedi would be coming to test the sincerity of the dimensional travelers. Optimus Prime was fine with this, knowing in his Spark that he and his comrades intentions were pure. As for the other parties, Optimus hoped for the best that they were sincere in wanting to help. Yet he couldn’t help but glance with his optics at the one called Warmaster Horus.

The biological known as Colonel Carter, apparently an expert on the Replicators, then spoke, passing some sort of portable computer to each of the gathered factions. The Autobots weren’t really sure what to do with it as the buttons were much too small for their over sized mechanical digits. So instead they focused on what the Colonel had to say.

Apparently the Replicators could consume metallic material to create more of them, which given the fact that they were on a planet sized city did raise a lot of concern in Optimus. This scourge also had something called a human version, Hound assuming that a human was the name of the species that all these biologicals seemed to be.

Prowl took intense interest when the topic of how to defeat the Replicators came up. As Chief Tactical Officer of the Ark, it would be up to him to prepare a strategy to combat the rampant machines. While the Replicators were immune to energy weapons, apparently projectile weapons would do the trick. Thankfully, the Ark and its Autobot warriors did have a good supply of projectile weapons, and those currently with energy ones could switch.

The armored humans then showed off one of their projectile weapons. Optimus couldn’t help but be impressed as they explained its functions, though he did note that the size would better suit a Cybertronian than one of these humans. But that awe was quickly broken, when the Warmaster suggested that the ships began orbitally bombarding the planet below.

The Autobot commander was immediately taken a back by this idea. Daniel Jackson had said that there were over a trillion beings living on Coruscant, and with it being a city planet, that meant they were probably tightly packed together. Firing at even one area controlled by the Replicators would cause massive loss of life for the locales.

But before Optimus could object, the human known as Picard did. After rebuffing the ideas of Horus, Picard then suggested that the gathered alliance could try to negotiate with the Replicators as some of them had sentience.

“I agree that negotiations most always be attempted before one declares war,” added Optimus Prime.

But then Daniel Jackson, apparently a different being than the one who brought the Autobots here, jumped in and debunked the notion that the Replicators could be reasoned with as even the human form just existed to consume. While that didn’t technically mean they were evil, it did mean that they were a threat to every reality in existence. Optimus figured that once they consumed Coruscant and the rest of this galaxy, they would just look for a new one to feed on. That universe could easily be the Autobots’ own.

After Carter talked of creating a powerful disruptor, and O’Neill of using teleportation to evacuate the planet, Optimus turned to his Science Officer, Hound.

“Would it be possible to use our space bridge technology to evacuate Coruscant?” Optimus asked.

“Unfortunately no. We could open a portal to the planet below, but it would only be one way from the Ark to the planet,” replied Hound, “We would need some kind of mini space bridge generator to bring down to the planet. But all work on a mini generator was stalled by the evacuation of Cybertron.”

Optimus briefly paused, “And what of this disruptor weapon Carter speaks of?”

“Well, Wheeljack would probably be better suited for that, but I bet if we pool our technology together we could come up with something,” answered Hound.

Optimus then approached the center of the room and began to speak, “I’ll send my best minds to help work on the disruptor. As for evacuating, my ship the Ark could ferry evacuees away. While it is not massive, we should be able to fit several thousand beings if they are the same size as you humans. After all the Ark was built to evacuate beings off a dangerous planet.”











Location: Mandalore

As Christopher, Alex, Lorna, and Carol were led by the royal guard through the city, they couldn’t help but notice the similarities between this world of Mandalore and that of planets in Shi’Ar space. Even though he knew he was in an alternate universe, Christopher could believe that this city was designed under the leadership of the Majestrix of the Shi’Ar Imperium.

After a brief walk, the Starjammers were led to a warehouse nearby some docks. The pirates were then motioned to enter the building by their guard escort. Inside Christopher found a nearly empty warehouse, save more guards and a regal figure at then end of the building. The Captain of the Starjammer could only assume that this was the Duchess that had been mentioned over the comms.

The woman then confirmed that she was the Duchess Satine before welcoming the assembled parties. However, before Christopher could ask any questions, the Duchess asked how it was possible that they had arrived from alternate universes. Only for one group to mention dimensional engineering. Considering he was from a planet that didn’t even have faster than light travel, Christopher was out of his league when it came to knowledge of science. But then the others simplified by saying a powerful being named Daniel brought them.

“Yeah he kind of popped in out of nowhere, asking if we could help save a universe,” added Christopher.

Then one of the more heavily armored people removed their helmet, revealing a good looking red haired woman. Christopher tried not to stare, instead shifting his thoughts over to his beloved Hepzibah. But then the redhead stated that they had been gathered to fight machines attacking Coruscant.

At the mention of the threat to Coruscant, Duchess Satine confirmed that there was talk of a plague on the planet, but that the gathered individuals were far off from the Republic capital. The redhead then asked the most pressing question: Why were we here?

“Yeah, Daniel had said that we were to help with the fight on Coruscant, but we’re here on, Mandalore I think you called it. What’s the deal with that?” asked Carol.

“I don’t know, in all my time as a superhero, I’ve encountered a few ascended beings,” stated Lorna, “And they’re always mysterious, not doing exactly as they said they would.”

“Hold on ladies, maybe the Duchess does have an answer,” said Christopher.

But the Captain of the Starjammer wasn’t entirely sure that Satine could provide an answer. She seemed quite shocked by their arrival, so she could easily be just as in the dark as the dimensional travelers were.
@Sep
Awesome! Who are you thinking of playing as?

@webboysurf
Great, let me know when you have a character in mind.

@PatientBean
Black Cat would work, just maybe check in with @Eviledd1984 as he is intending to play Spider-Man.

@Sanity43217
Original characters are totally allowed. Just run their concept by me first to make sure it works for this RP.

@Byrd Man
I'm not sure if you are being serious. If you are could you explain what you had in mind with Howard the Duck? I haven't read a ton of comics with him but what I have read makes him seem like a poor fit for the Avengers.

@Birdboy
We definitely have room for more players.

@ImaginedBird67
Both Kate or Captain Marvel would work for this RP.

I'll probably wait a few more days before putting up an OOC thread.
@Eviledd1984
It would be great to have you back as Spider-Man. Do you intend to keep him how you played him last time, older and with a kid?

[@Patient Bean]
Good to know. Now all you have to do is decide on one.

@Redcord
I'm going to mention this now that if players want to use connected characters, please consult other players of connected characters, just so that we can maintain a coherent lore.

@NinaDivine
Glad to see you have interest in this. All of your character options would work, except Power Princess as I have plans for her and the Squadron Supreme pretty early on in the story. But if you really want to play her, send me a PM and we can figure a way of fitting her in.

@Byrd Man
Great that you're showing interest! Do you have any characters in mind?
Glad to see that people are interested in this.

@udonoodles
I’m hoping that this RP will last. As for your possible character options, all would work as members of the Avengers.

@PatientBean
Thanks for the interest. Dagger would definitely work, as would Black Cat or Emma Frost as long as they’re in one of their more heroic moods.

@Crimson Flame
Can’t wait for Billy and Tommy to return!

@Redcord
Thor would be great. And you don’t have to re-imagine a character if you don’t want to. You could play someone exactly as they are in the comics, MCU, or other official media.

I'm going to wait see for now if more people are interested before I create an OOC thread.
@mattmanganon had already asked me if it was alright if he used Hot Rod and I gave him permission. I don't think the crew of the Ark will mind losing one insignificant crew member (at least insignificant at this point in the story). Also I'm going to try having a new IC post up in the next two days.

So I want to run a Marvel roleplay set in its own universe. The actual lore will be formed with the aid of the players as we figure out how long superheroes have been around or what events have specifically happened. Right now all I’m ruling out is M-Day, the Blip, and the Krakoan nation.

I specifically want to play canons, which can be drawn from the comics, movies, or a complete re-imagining. However, original characters are also welcomed as well if that’s what you want. The only thing I ask with character choice is that it would make sense for them to be an Avenger.

As of now only two characters are taken. Steve Rogers is a central NPC and is busy running the Avengers, however you could use someone else as Captain America. I’m also going to play as Jim Hammond, the original Human Torch. At the start of the roleplay, I’ll be allowing two characters per player.

So who is up to forming their own canon as part of a global Avengers agency? Please post your ideas for a character, especially if you are going to be reimagining them.

@Eviledd1984 @Crimson Flame @Artemis Arts @BangoSkank @BenG85
Seeing if any of you want to join this new iteration of the RP?
