FetzenI think twenty four hours is probably a good bet. Twenty-four hours for everything - from application to acceptance and for voting. Of course, if the vote gets out of hand before then we can always call it.

Giant pictures should come with a trigger warning.
Like @Vandy, I am a little worried that this Supes is coming across a bit too political, too sharp-edged, but I trust Morden's ability to get me to buy into it with time.

@Architect That's my secret... I didn't love you to begin with.
I'm cool with the rest of you though. Just not you, Architect. Never you.

Oh, and Kai Ro is accepted. @Bounce
Perhaps there's another point of difference: I'm not too hot on legacy characters showing up in games that are set fairly early on into someone's superheroing career. If someone turned up tomorrow and wanted to play Supergirl I would try to accommodate them as best I could but until that point I won't make reference to anything like that IC.
Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.
@The Grey Warden I'd quite like to see you take a crack at Ollie, though I did enjoy your Selina last time I read it, so either would be good. For the sake of the game I think Green Arrow would be more significant.

Don't think about it too much. If you want to play Scott Lang as Ant-Man, you play Scott Lang as Ant-Man. Don't write a thousand word history explaining the transition. Hank Pym exists, he made the technology and was Ant-Man for a period, now Scott Lang is.
I feel like we're getting bogged down a little, which is my fault given I'm technically in charge, but I want to get this thing started as soon as possible. Let's play, not spend forever talking about playing.

@GreenGrenade Miles is cool because he's in the mainstream continuity now.
@Bounce To be honest I would overwhelmingly prefer people to play mainstream DC/Marvel characters but I'm trying to use a bit of discretion where I can. Given that you've not radically changed a pre-existing character and that most of the GL stuff takes place off world I thought I'd allow it. I'm probably stricter about changes when it comes to big names but with characters nobody else is going to apply for I don't see the point - unless it's completely world-breaking.

Alright, alright *throws hands up* if you say so, you're the boss. I will say though I don't think that's such a big deal to change if I want to play the character.
P.S. Not trying to undermine your authority or anything, really you are the boss I don't want to cause any trouble.
I'm just explaining the story I had in mind. This whole game came out of a One Universe idea I had about a more embattled Superman working in a world with a JLA financed by Lex Luthor and then I thought, "Why not throw it open to everybody else?" seeing as there's a dearth of comic book games on here.
I think I've said several times that ultimately the player is sovereign over their character and their place in the world once they've been accepted. I stand by that. I just wanted to give you a bit of context, that's all.
Lex had always hated Superman because he is the one man in Metropolis more powerful than him. Sure in the beginning he would have tried to manipulate him but now we're four years in. Plus if Lex built the Justice League he sure doesn't want Supes over shadowing him on his own super team. Lex is incapable of being second place to an unhealthy and obsessive degree. Superman is the one person he really thinks overshadows him.
If the invitation comes from Cap that'd be fine but Lex certainly wouldn't be happy about it. Lex has been willing to work with Superman only in extreme circumstances and is on the Justice league in the comics right now so he can undermine Superman's own team. He doesn't want that to happen to him.
Yes, and Superman's invitation into the Justice League was years ago. Lex creates the Justice League because he wants to control Superman. When Clark says no, Lex spends millions unearthing superheroes of his own, finding and unthawing Captain America, tracking down Mjolnir that had crashed to Earth, all to spite him by creating the greatest superhero team on Earth. The reason the Justice League even exists in this universe was so that Lex could have Clark under his thumb and when Clark refused Lex made sure it was even bigger and more beloved than Superman - in the current climate at least.
Trust me, I've thought this through.
