Any one of Marvel's Young Avengers would work.Marvel has a whole universe filled with superheroes. There's gotta be one you like.

I'm a hardcore DC fan, it's either DC characters or any other non marvel company.

No offense but I keep getting a vibe that this rp is somewhat biased towards either generic American characters or anime inspired characters, which some of us don't want to do

I have to side with archmage, it's hard to use canon characters who haven't been over used constantly, like I love superman, the flash, green lantern and a lot of others but I wouldn't play as them in an rp because then it just becomes generic.

Also I'm still interested but I probably won't have a character sheet up until the first of December

How many non anime characters do we have? Some variety is always good

Let's B!tch. I feel it's a healthy release for our roleplay annoyances 2.0

My first problem with this is that you're generalizing as "boring and uninteresting". I won't dent that there's a lot of trash anime (and some would disagree with me about that), but to me, there's also a lot of trash Western/superhero/etc. stuff (and some would disagree with about that too). Anime, while it does not interest , are appealing to a majority of people on this site, as I assume the biggest age group is 14-21 or something, and if I'm not mistaken, that's the age group that's most interested in anime. I'm not trying to defend it, since a good anime is far and inbetween (to me), I think a lot of the ideas the shows have are kinda interesting concept-wise, and thus intrigues people to combine this show they really enjoy with their hobby of RPing and blammo.Unless I'm unaware of some hidden selection of shows, then I think that another reason people like anime is because there's a bit of a lack of more serious (for lack of better word) genres on animated shows on Western. Like, 90% of the animated things I see on TV are straight comedies. I think superhero stuff is more serious than most cartoons, but then there's the issue that some people such as myself either don't care for that, want something more than just "generic hero that's better than everyone else saves day" (which is ironic for me to say, since I just complained about you generalizing), or something like that. I don't know how to word what I'm trying to say in this paragraph without being an ass.Anyway, back to the main point. There are some people who just rip off anime for their characters and their plots, but there are some people who like concepts or ideas from anime and thus would like to RP in that setting/whatever. I'm extremely confident that you have, do, or will do exactly that, but just with the things you yourself like. Anime is a big thing right now (to the dismay of some), and if you can't handle that people like something you don't like, then that's your problem. I guess my "complaint" is people generalizing things further than they should. I'm like 99% sure "Anime" is not a genre, but a catagory for shows to be in and be assigned genres.

I just have yet to see any anime that interests me and I've know a lot of them. I know that superheroes are generic at first glance but the history and the meanings behind each hero is what makes them so beloved, and they don't get enough respect in my opinion, anime has tons of respect sometimes to the point where you get idiots who are Weeabos who just ruin it. Also I'm a comic book fan and there are plenty of non superhero comics. As for animation, the west has movies. I know a lot of people like anime on this, but the Guild is not specifically an anime role-playing website and it makes it less inviting to people who aren't interested in anime

I said this once and I'll say again, there's way too much anime on this cite and it gets so annoying. It's like people can't characters that are anything else except anime themed characters. I don't like anime with the exception of shows I was into as a kid just for nostalgia purposes, but the rest is just boring and uninteresting, and it's everywhere. Seriously people have some variety.

I'm more leinent and if he came up with a way to have john carter simulating mars condition on earth in a way that's logical I would be open to it. After all we have a character who's sole canon appearance was being in an egg. That said good luck pulling that logic loop off.All that said, John could be accepted, but it might be smarter to think of someone else instead.Also Mega Man is accepted. I'd post up the Ruby Spears Mega Man theme song to celebrate. But I'm being lazy and on my iPhone.

How do you feel about golden age superheroes as characters?

Well, I've had a chance to say my piece about why I think John Carter's powers and location are hard to change while still keeping him John Carter, so how would you want to make him work?

Well if we're very interested in keeping it as close to canon as possible then it wouldn't work without adding something that is non canon.

Now I have been looking into the golden age superheroes, I think those heroes could work for the rp, I might go with one of them as a character

I'm being reminded why I find canon rps annoying
