Tomorrow?!?

I am disappointed.

@Hound55

You're from upside-down world, so it's practically yesterday.

OOC will definitely be up tomorrow after I return from work.

@Wicked Sweet Characters like Jessica Drew and Julia Carpenter who aren't actually connected to Spidey's origins initially are definitely doable. I just ask that the Spider-Woman name isn't used.

Happy to talk if there's a particular concept you want to do.

What I'm going to go with

@Sep

I almost went with the idea of Nova being instrumental in the defeat of the Chitauri. So, I love to see this.

I should mention, since so many of you are finalizing concepts already, that there will be a 48 hour window from the moment a sheet is posted in the OOC until it can be accepted. This is to allow for players to submit an application with a competing or overlapping concept. In the event of competing apps for a character, no decisions will be made until 48 hours have passed since the last competing sheet was posted.

I know a lot of people are probably eyeing some of the most popular characters, and some may have already begun working on sheets for them. So just know this won't be a first-come-first-serve situation, and you'll have ample time to finalize your own concepts.

_{Except for me in regards to Spidey because this is a dictatorship.}

And this is how I know people are ancy for an OOC.

Mmmm that's the best CS

Can you tell me anything about the themes or tone you're planning on.

Like you mentioned Spidey and Street Level so is it primarily Street Level and Light Hearted?

I tend to write try hard "gritty" "dark" characters in superhero RPs. I'm thinking of trying Captain A, Wolverine, or an alt version of Bushwacker...but they're all kind of dark and the last is bordering on a villain.

Like from a range of Daredevil to Sentry to Puck, street level to Superman level to goofy.

@BangoSkank

All tones and themes are welcome. I'll be telling a street-level story and using arcs from my Spider-Man and the gang war in NYC as backdrops for GM events. That doesn't mean, though, that I'll only have the events focus on street-level. They will be focused on American cities and potentially cosmic should we have enough space heroes, however, so places like NYC will be hubs. Think of the stories told in this roleplay as similar to those told in comics. Some titles are more serious than others. They have a wide range of genres. Whatever tone you wish to write in is acceptable unless, of course, that tone is lambasting the game or its members.

I will say, though, any concepts bordering on villainous are likely to be denied. This is a hero or vigilante only game. That being said, dark is fine. Just don't break any of the Guild rules and keep things from being edgy for shock value.

And when you interact and collaborate with others, either on your own or through GM events, be prepared to adjust your tone to fit the current arc if necessary. Even Wolverine isn't a brutal gore machine 100% of the time in all titles.

@Hound55

You've convinced me. Accepted.

So sexy Aunt May with the Moonstone is all clear for take-off...

@Hound55

You're just describing Marisa Tomei.

<Snipped quote by Retired>

quick q - what's the difference between 'direct Spider-powered people' and 'Spider-adjacent'?

@Roman

By the former, I mean characters like Miles, Venom, Silk, any of the clones, etc. Characters that directly got their powers in similar ways to Peter and/or run around as a Spidey-copy-with-a-twist. This is because my Peter will be 5ish years into the hero life and those sorts of characters don't yet fit into his story. I know how popular some of these characters are, so I wanted to get out ahead of that.

By the latter, I'm referring to characters like Black Cat or similarly street-level adjacent heroes and vigilantes that are linked to Spidey, but not linked to Spidey's origins or identity. Or, likewise, attaching your concept to other Spidey rogues or supporting cast is also fine. For instance, tying Otto Octavius into your character's backstory.

If you're not sure where certain characters may fall, please ask and I'll clarify.
