I am still on RPG, so do feel free to message me. Just don't have the time or energy to actually join any RP's right now. Focusing on a LOT of other projects, including getting into Audio Drama.

Sorry for disappearing for 2 months. Life kinda went to shit and RPG was pushed to the back of my mind.

@Master Bruce The Power Rangers analogy is pretty much what i was thinking. Ronan's minions would mostly consist of the Non-Lantern Green Lantern villains such as Doctor Polaris, Karshon The Shark and The Icicle, as well as a couple of the "Alien Mercenary" villains that both Marvel and DC are littered with such as Death's Head, Starbreaker, Lunatik, Draaga, etc. who can be defeated and then released or escape for other players to use. I also had an idea for an episode where Hal gets trapped on an alien ship that wanders into orbit of Earth where it's just him and a half-broken, half-insane Manhunter bot that he has to give the runaround whilst trying to figure out a way off the ship. But i also had idea's for stories of smaller human villains (Including Hector Hammond) or regular civilians having got their hands on the missing rings and getting up to mischief with them. Those stories would follow more of a set up like an episode of Supernatural with them finding the ring, news reaching S.H.I.E.L.D. of ring-based shenanigans going on somewhere else in the world and then Hal and Sinestro going to investigate, before a fight breaks out, the heroes win and the Ring users don't remember a thing about their time under the rings influence. I'll always ask the group before reaching outside of the Lantern mythos for villains though.

And yes, i appreciate the "We are just starting off" so yup, mostly going to be smaller skirmishes, no World Ending Threats. As i said in the Interest Check, when i reach endgame and Ronan does reach Earth, it's going to be a very isolated invasion where he uses alien technologies to make sure the rest of Earth remains oblivious to him and the carnage of Coast City until he has what he's come for. Partially because he doesn't want the rings escaping his grasp, but mostly because he's read the reports of the Kryptonian and he isn't confident he can take that guy until he has the rings.
@Retired 3 weeks into writing for 6 stories at a time

Go Character Sheet, I Choose YOU!!!

The other story I'm tempted by is a "What if Robbie Reyes and Jaime Reyes were Brothers?" Story, primarily based on the fact that their dads are both "Alberto Reyes"
@Simple Unicycle Don't worry, there is such a thing as "People learning from their mistakes" and i'm hoping the GMs will give me the opportunity to prove that. And while yes i was planning on using John, it was more going to be in the "Old soldier looking for redeption" capacity, but at the end of the day, the decision is up to Sep and Bruce if they want to trust me with him and if they see the aggregious incident from 4 years ago as too much to trust me and then, as always, i'll abide by the GM decision. Also, being that John is his own character with his own story and rogues gallery, if someone specifically says "Hey, i got a John Stewart focused story i want to do" i'm sure we can work something out.

@Sep As i said, i would never dream of forcing a threat upon anyone else, and that's going to be the endgame scenario for the story. It would be the old:

Minion: "My lord, the planet is ripe for the taking! Shall we begin the destruction?"
Warlord: "The rings, you fool, all forces to Coast City, we need to secure the rings! They are too powerful to risk dividing our forces. We must focus entirely upon their fortress until the rings are in my grasp. Then the rest of planet will be ours... And then... THE UNIVERSE!!!"
Minion: "My lord, the Communications Decoys are in place. They will not be able to call for help and the rest of the planet will have no idea we are here until it's too late."
Warlord: "Excellent, there will be no escape for them this time!"

For the most part it's going to be the Power Rangers style "Warlord sits on his ship sending a monster of the week to attack our plucky young adventurers"
@Sep Well, the main point of the story is to have that "The big bad is coming and we gotta be ready for him" edge. I'm looking into big alien warlord types. Would Ronin the Executioner sit better with you?
@Sep Fair enough. I'll start digging for a suitable replacement.
@Sep The villain is always up for debate. Honestly, if there was gonna be a War World visit, the entire battle would be focused entirely on Coast City or maybe have them lure it to the Moon so that the battle doesn't spill over to other peoples story, unless they specifically want it to.
Applying for Lanterns again, but i'm going back to basics, trying something a bit different, even if i think the structure of the previous one worked and as much as i'd love to try it again, i doubt it'd be accepted. So i think i'm gonna try something a little... Closer to the original characters, but along the same lines of story.

@Mao Mao Transformers at least had the caveat that it USED to be part of Earth 616 continuity, even if it isn't anymore. TMNT has never been, to my knowledge, part of Marvel or DC official continuity.
