I would say that Creed, regardless, is going to be too similar. Just the nature of who he is.

Rogue Continuum: The Singularity Crisis (A DC and Marvel RP)

I have a couple of different character ideas regarding both submissions. Plus another I want to run by you but it's late here.

@RainforestGiant

Feel free to run any by me when you have the time.

I definitely would not classify Loki as a martial artist haha.

I'm talking about the Victor Creeds, Batmen, and Logans of the world, etc. Hand-to-hand fighters with a specific weapon/tool they specialize in.

Do you consider Pete one of these archetypes?

@Nib

Not really, no. Only in the aspect that he also fights hand-to-hand, but I think there's more than enough difference between him and Nomad. Especially as Maxx stated Nomad was a brawler and not his usual acrobatic comic self.

Rogue Continuum: The Singularity Crisis (A DC and Marvel RP)

Alrighty. So, I am not closing applications yet, but I have made my decision on the first two characters I'll be accepting:

Nomad as played by @Cybermaxx and Six/Spawn as played by @Bounce.

These two players were already invited and officially in the RP from the onset (so there are still two or three open slots, this doesn't change that for anyone else), but just like everyone else they had to go through the character application process. After the first ten days, of all submissions currently seen, these are the two I feel are the best 'starting points,' so to speak, for a team.

With Nomad officially being one of the characters brought into the RP, the other applications that have similar martial/brawler type characters would be largely redundant. I don't want to flood the team with too many of the same archetypes. That being said, if you were one of the people who applied with such a similar character then no worries! You can absolutely submit a new proposal if you are still interested, and I will happily consider anything new you bring to the table.

I think with these two characters accepted it will allow for me to have a more clear picture moving forward of what I will be looking for.

I am going to keep the application process open for another week - May 13th, 12:00 AM EST will be the final deadline. Hopefully, by then everyone who is interested in applying has done so, and those of you who have been here since the start will have had ample time to submit new concepts.

To Bounce and Maxx, please hold off on moving your applications to the character tab until all characters have been accepted.

I know I originally said I'd make decisions on apps after roughly a week, but I'm going to extend it more. There are a couple of people who are interested but due to IRL events haven't had a chance to get their application up.

Wellll ain't that unfortunate. In this timeline Steve Rogers is much more of a brawler than in the comics. All he's got to work with is his military training, which was much more focused on tactics and weaponry usage than strict hand to hand. Augmented speed and strength, combined with the shield, make him very dangerous to normal humans. Things get trickier against more skilled or stronger opponents who can cancel his strengths, forcing him to be a bit more clever in his approach. Steve takes advantage of his shield's strange properties and his environment as much as possible, and he's not above pulling a gun when things get messy enough.

This Rogers is not a superhero, he's a soldier. Its a philosophy that'll inevitably lead to him bumping heads with his teammates whenever he starts barking orders or asks people to make uncomfortable decisions. He's' not one to sacrifice his principles- ever- but there's a naivety to the cape-and-tights types that gets on his nerves. Plus, to be honest? All this shit that's going on is totally overwhelming. The man comes from a universe where he's the weirdest thing walking around. And now he's fighting aliens and jumping through dimensions. He's as out of place alongside these super types as mainstream Rogers is in modern times.

@Cybermaxx

I love this explanation. Thanks.

There can only be one green here.

You all have characters that are pretty martial arts focused with leadership skills. Nomad, Batman, Sabretooth, Old Patch, and Dark Web. If you wouldn't mind, can you take the time to describe to me how you envision the character's role inside and outside of combat? Otherwise, I can only see them as their archetypical roles, which makes them all fairly similar.
