Sensation & Wonder: An Absolute Comics Roleplay [DC & Marvel One Universe Style Game]

Things are very East Coast-centered right now. Am I correct in understanding that even if we pick up a supporting/roaming character in addition to our driving one, that we would still have to post with that character once every two weeks, even if there's no current plot for them to hop in on? @Lord Wraith

I'm debating grabbing someone else that's more West Coast to balance things out so that other players have someone to play off of outside of Gotham and New York.

@Retired

Good question! About the supporting/roaming characters, it's something I've been thinking about as well.

Although the East Coast is easily and obviously the best coast, @Bork Lazer and I are going for those sweet southeastern vibes (it hurts my soul to abandon the proper East Coast, but it had to be done for the plot).

Sometimes a man just wants to shoot arrows where he pleases without the Hague getting involved...

@Hound55

What the Hague doesn't know won't hurt them.

Unrelated, moved Nightmaster into a supporting character role for Ragwoman, mostly because he's a) dope and b) I wanted to write up some stuff with the Oblivion Bar.

Similarly, I preemptively moved Zatanna into an allied character role for Ragwoman, as I think Ragwoman needs a fancy mentor type of mystical character, her supernatural rags aside, she's not a wizard, Harry (I checked with @Master Bruce too, so I'm not stealing his thunder or disrupting any Zatanna plots on his part).

I'd actually really like to write her as a roaming character at some point (traveling around the world to perform magic shows seems like an easy cover), but for now I'd just like to express an interest in having her appear in a Ragwoman story. If anyone happens to be dying to write her though, hit me up and we can probably work some custody agreement out.

Scene from the first Crisis as all of the Character sheets pivot to the magical/supernatural:

@Hound55

Don't worry, magic is in everyone's heart, you just have to search for it or something.

That or be baller and just have a magical artifact.

I updated my character sheet with a pretty long (as of right now) list of characters that came to mind when I began thinking of story arcs for Ragwoman.

It's all pretty stream of consciousness on my part, so sorry if it's confusing! However, I wanted to follow some of the great examples posted so far and really toss out some ideas in terms of characters that I think could be interesting to see interact with Ragwoman (although by no means is my list exhaustive and I'm sure there are a ton of other interesting characters).

Update

Edit: I might move some characters over from "of Interest" to actually being involved sooner rather than later, but for now I just want to ponder my really long list. Any thoughts, feedback, or interest is more than welcome, especially if you have or might have designs for any of the mentioned characters (sorry for my lack of brevity in advance).

Edit Edit: Forgot to mention the greatest comic book character ever. The Phantom. A man in purple, almost deceptively blue tights, fighting pirates with his Colt 1911s and his fists.

I need to figure out a way to add more witches and black cats to the RP.

I'm more surprised by how many supernatural cast members we're getting. Usually the mystical side is underrepresented

@Kaggs what happened to Canary? 😂

@Sep

IDK, TMNT teaming up with Batman sounds like a paradigm shift to me, so not sure I can't wildly support it.

If you're looking for another player to 'guest write' Constantine anytime, I happen to know both @Roman and @John Table have great versions of Constantine.

@Lord Wraith

Awesome! I don't want to pressure anyone, but I like the idea way more of having some heavy hitting characters that overlap with Ragwoman be run by other players. I think roaming / support characters are a cool idea presented in this RP and I really want to try to use it to everyone's advantage. I'd love at some point to have Ragwoman (if she makes the cut) pop into someone else's main plot in more of a roaming or supporting role.

Don't need to be sorry, whilst I'm not a GM Hellboy's one of those non-Marvel/DC characters who have had an exception made for them in the past (possibly because of some of that old DC history) and the fact the premise generally kind of fits.

I'd say it's worth it to at least take a swing at an app, if that's what you want.

@Hound55

Haha, yeah, we'll see how things go, but if there's a good time, I might just do it (or trick someone else into doing it).

Well, looks like I may be dusting off Magik once again

@Natty

You know you want to. ;)

Thanks for all the feedback and discussion, appreciate it!

I think Ragwoman is pretty flexible in terms of a CRISES she cares about.

Anything major Evil with a capital E would probably grab the attention of her raggedy suit of justice. I think similarly to the justice oriented version of Raven that @Hillan proposed, Ragwoman is pretty easy to involve in almost any plot since a part of her focus is "punishing true evil".

Related, any CRISES that involves the supernatural or touches on the supernatural would have an obvious and easy connection with Ragwoman (personally at some point I think that it would be wonderful to form a supernatural superhero team with other players for something major, basically the Shadowpact in the RP).

I'm adding some stuff to my character sheet, but I was wondering if anyone had plans for Constantine?

I don't really feel a need to write him as a main character, but he'd be pretty great as a "visiting" character for an Ragwoman issue.

Similarly, if no one else shows interest, I'd love to write Zatanna as a roaming or supporting character (or have her appear if someone else wants to write her).

The dream is probably Hellboy though (sorry not sorry).

Either way if anyone has any level of supernatural character interest, pop by my character sheet later today and I'll have some updates in the character note section on characters I think would be fun to involve at some point (but more than happy to talk things through if someone else has their heart set on one of those characters, everything I have in mind is mostly ideas at this point and I just want to offer some chances for collaboration).

As an example for more of a major event type of scenario, if someone wanted to write Dr. Strange for a bit, I bet we could figure out a fun crossover issue.

The rags work in mysterious ways.
