What shows/movies are you watching?

They pushed The Marvels back to November.

It probably needs more time in the kitchen, anyway.

Age of Marvels - A Marvel Comics Roleplay [CLOSED]

My dad's health is steadily declining, so I've had to play nurse for a lot of that. It's taken a lot of my creative energy, so I'm hoping to figure out where my commitments stand with my energy at this moment. I'd like to carry on here, I did get posts started in my head, I just haven't written them out yet.

Will have to make sure to set aside time because this hobby is a lot of how I keep my sanity. Still here. Ish.

To Become a Knight! ~ A Chivalric (Mis)Adventure

---

“Eh, I’ve never had problems with incantations before.”

Eli’s casual remark was paired with a shrug as the next group entered the arena as the first one left.

To those who recognized Eli they wouldn’t have been particularly surprised he wasn’t hard pressed to be worried about incantations or aura users whatever their class may have been. Incantations had been tried on him before, the rare aura user he clashed with did the same. It never really mattered, because Eli’s own use of aura as the Absolute always stacked the deck. Too many had underestimated him in certain areas. There was a lot to that perception and through the years Eli always relished in it. Whenever he was faced with magic he was sure to taunt them, asserting that using magic was a clear sign that they could handle whatever he threw at them.

Despite Eli’s boredom in the perceptive boy’s remarks about needing to be on their guard, Eli wasn’t keen on making a fool of himself. It was so much more fun to make a fool of others, after all.

“I think I’ll be fine.” He added, “Magic is easy to counter.”

She's not sure Charles will go for it, but given the right scenario, she might not have to. ◼ X-Men Charles Xavier's central mutant counterterrorist response team.

The first one to welcome her to the team and the only one who never gave up trying to reach her when she was on the other side.

She is concerned about Lorna’s obvious bitterness, though. ◼ Nightcrawler (Kurt Wagner) TBD ◼ Professor X (Charles Xavier) Professor Charles Xavier. The world’s leading expert on the X-Gene and founder of the X-Men. Lorna hates him; admires him; respects him.

C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T ________________________________________________________________________________________ The planet Linda Lee-Anne Danvers was originally born on was known as Krypton, a planet that was on the verge of collapse. Her name was Kara. Her father, Zor-El, was a scientist who had been attempting to prepare a route to safely save his species but even through his support by his brother, Jor-El, they found themselves at an impassable point as the ruling government of Krypton continued to deny that their planet was dying. When the final days finally reared their head, Krypton was in chaos, but the two brothers found themselves realizing the dark reality of the situation – they may have been able to procure enough illegal resources to build their escape but as the planet was caving in around them they only found enough time to save their children and not themselves. Unfortunately, Kara and her cousin’s journey to their destination was not as idyllic as their parents would’ve hoped. A large interstellar anomaly interfered with the accuracy of the spacecraft’s navigation systems – though it could’ve been much, much worse. Avoiding being trapped in the storm for several light years, Kara’s pod soon approached the planet Earth, though she wouldn’t be awake to witness her abrupt, violent landing. When she came to she found herself in a room she did not recognize with a bandage on her head. The words her father spoke to her on Krypton became clouded and hard to remember; she didn’t even remember her name. Despite an immense language barrier between her and the woman who found her, she found herself less alone. She was eight years old. Her appearance in the woods of western Delaware, as weird as it was, ended up being what saved her from a lifetime of scientific experimentation, military ownership, and indoctrination. The woman who she had locked eyes with upon waking had been a retired physician. Despite not knowing English, she began her recovery with her and her husband. These two people ended up becoming who she would come to call her parents. Eventually, the two came up with a name for Kara until she could remember her own. From the age of eight onward, Kara’s life became a topic of confusion for her. The memories of her old life, her birth parents, and her mission was clouded, only ever coming to her in her dreams and nightmares. For the longest time she could not remember Krypton, though she never had any long-lasting allusions that she was normal. By nine years old she was climbing the tallest tree in the Redden State Forest; by twelve she was running faster than any automobile or train she had ever seen. She could feel her powers growing and at first she thought she was a “mutant”. Her father refused to let the notion scare her and told her while there was nothing wrong with being a metahuman that she wasn’t one. It was a strange conversation hearing about her “pod” and how she came down from outer space, but as she heard it the more it made sense. It made more sense as she visited the “pod” that her father had kept hidden away in an abandoned silo near his property. Slowly, in her senior year at Midvale High School, she began piecing things together. Eventually, her name came back to her and found herself traveling across the world to find more answers. Perhaps in the process she would find a way to balance college and protecting people with her abilities. P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) ________________________________________________________________________________________ With this game focusing heavily on the mutant conflicts what I want to do here is tap into that. With a few friends asking me to make a mutant-oriented character to help bounce off of them, I’ve also taken a long look at the mutant lore presented as well as other active characters. I think Polaris is the right fit for me here. If I can coordinate with the Havok player there’s some personalized stuff to handle, but I can also engage with the active X-Men team in scenes where both of us are present, so there’s that. Overall, this is more of a reactive character than a solo character – but I do have plans for forming X-Factor, coming to blows with The Purifiers, the Brotherhood of Mutants, and other antagonists. I won’t just be waiting to see what is happening. If the RP is lively, I can collaborate and contribute. That’s my pitch.

“Pod 12. Prepare for unsecure landing.”

On an alien planet in a near-but-distant future, humanity begins anew.

It’s funny how the tides change due to one simple miscalculation. Several months ago you finally got accepted to be lifted up to Project Eden–a planetary exploration and resettlement initiative established by the governments of the Planet Earth. To finally reach out into the cosmos and try to temper the dangers of the greater galaxy while Earth comes closer-and-closer to its final days. You don’t know it yet, but you joining this initiative? It will be the best thing you’ve ever done. The trials, anxieties, and politics that come with starting a new colony will be tough, but with a ‘golden world’ so close to your fingertips, why would you pass up on the opportunity?

Earth Date 04-03-2857.

That’s what the console of the Earth Federation Star Vessel Olendda reads as clear as day.

The date that the crew members and its clientele were supposed to arrive to a new destination, a “golden world”, a planet denoted to be the perfect place for a new contingent of humanity to settle. A Terra Nova.

But this is no Terra Nova.

Planet B3-71002, codenamed “Ekkonaor”, is an Earth-like Terrestrial Planetoid on the edge of the galaxy. And that’s it–that’s all that’s recorded about it. A name, planet type, and a bunch of numbers. The colonists and star vessel staff know one thing, though: they are going to learn a lot more about it very soon. With the crew of the Olendda awoken to the ship caught in the middle of an uncharted asteroid storm, they are forced to accept the situation and rotate to the escape pods of the vessel before the empty void of space swallows them whole.

PROMPT: I often dream of the stars. Years ago, I told myself I’d see them. For real. But on Solomar, that’s the kind of thing that gets you laughed at. Kicked into the dirt. Because it’s a delusion. Something that can’t be done. Because the Empire won’t let us leave.

But she didn’t really know what she wanted out of the order. She didn’t see herself as “hero” material, even after awakening her magical abilities during her initiatehood. She didn’t have a direction and she was taught to not give trust to anyone, not even herself. But being a warden was a thing and she would find her purpose within it. Besides, she was one of the best combatants the order had seen in over a decade. Being capable makes it real easy to solve disputes, certainly, but over the years she has once again gotten bored. Her reassignment to caretake a ward of initiates is not a duty she feels particularly against. It’s another thing to do.

The Kingdom of Pallaviel has stood in the southern reaches of the continent of Iedda for centuries, fighting off threats of the merciless and greedy. It has suffered great tragedy and great triumph.

You know it well. It has been your home for your entire life. Several years ago the village you lived in, Ardenfeld, was attacked by a coalition of bandits with particular iconography. You were a child then and survived by the skin of your teeth, hiding with your friends. When the smoke cleared you were all orphaned. You parted ways, though you kept in touch as each of you found yourselves part of a new life and creed but none of you forgot the bandits who robbed you of your childhood and your families.

Ten years later, on the anniversary of the massacre, as adults, you reunite in a tavern on the road named The Lying Wolverine. As you will soon learn, your shared bond will start you on a path of great adventure. This is not a single story reflecting that but many.
