Am I Nick Fury?

Well, it's not like there's a lot of other roles a nonwhite person could have.

The Hulk isn't white And isn't Cap black now?

That's ridiculous. The whole point of Cap was that he was the exact kind of physical being the Nazis wanted to be, but kicked Nazi ass. For America.

Anyway, further chat should go to the chat thread.

We really should segregate the two better.

Actually, this is not ridiculous because it isn't a retcon of Steve Rogers' race. He just hands over his powers and alter ego to some black guy.

Please provide as much detail as possible.
RP's Overarching Concept: One year after what might be the most devastating event in the history of the multiverse, a group of "wizards" have to help rebuild what remains of the Earth.
Genre/s:Dystopia, Sci-Fan, Sci-Fi, urban fantasy
Character or Faction Based:Character.
Detailed Description:

(Image)

That, friends, is the defining trait of humanity. We keep fighting, even when there is no hope, when we know we cannot win, when our enemy is our inner self,

or a god.

Thabo Addan, Councillor of the Metaphysical Guild, eighteen minutes before he died at the hand of Beelzebub.

At the Origin, there was only the Is. The Is was and is and will be the collective energies of the Multiverse, an omnipotent, omniscient spirit. From Itself, the Is created the Universe, stars and planets and galaxies. It created many other spirits and gods, but those which were most important and dear to Its heart were Jehovah and His brother, Satan, Personifications of Good Order and Good Chaos. For millennia, the Brothers reigned over the world of Earth, watching and guarding its people, the Human race. And they made some of these humans special, given powers over Chaos and order, over reality itself. These people were known as gods and sorcerers and spirits over the years, but we know them as Metaphysiks.


And there was peace.

But this peace did not last, for into a poor farming village was born a healthy, robust boy, named Beelzebub. Beelzebub was a Metaphysik, with unprecedented control over Chaos, and he joined the Order at a young age. But Beelzebub's heart was dark, and he was not like his father, Satan, who was Good, for he had a dark, evil soul. As he grew, so did his powers, until the lad could manipulate the Earthfiber itself.


And, guided by his black heart, he attacked, rending Pangea into seven continents, and killing many Metaphysiks, before the Is intervened and banished him to wander the Multiverse.

Beelzebub, though, did not see this as a punishment. For aeons, the Render stalked the Multiverse, devouring worlds and their energy, giving himself more power, and by December 13, 2014, he'd whittled down the Multiverse to one world.

Our world.

The Destroyer attacked Earth, as nations and armies fell before it, only the Metaphysiks resisted, the whole Guild coming together, in the Amazonian jungle, to battle Beelzebub. Over a million Metas took the field that day, and only six hundred lived. We stood, in the wet heat, for only a few minutes. Then, the swirling red storm that heralded Beelzebub's approach came upon us, parting to reveal....

A boy. About sixteen, with long, dyed-green-and-purple hair, pale skin, and wearing a black hoodie. But it was the eyes. They were blue, and danced with madness, as this boy spread his hands, and the storm rushed forth, and the slaughter began. Screams and shouts rent the jungle, as each of us battled a duplicate of Beelzebub. I don't know how long we fought, screaming and shouting and dying, until the storm subsided. Beelzebub simply stood there, looking behind us. As one, the Metaphysiks turned, and saw Them. Satan and Jehovah, with a young woman standing between them. I knew her: Ellis, a young German lawyer, from Frankfurt. As we watched, the Devil and God became pillars of blue and gold light, respectively. These pillars swirled into Ellis, who glowed with white light for a moment, then she attacked the Breaker, flinging him into deep space, slowly becoming the avatar of Balance. While they fought, the sky glowed white and red, blocking out the stars. None of us saw the fight, but the Is granted us a vision of the end.

Ellis, battered and bruised, faced Beelzebub, floating in the void. The Evil One lunged at her, but Ellis caught him, and with a blaze of white light, flung him away. While Beelzebub raced at her, the brave, brave woman found a way to end him for good.

She turned a nearby planet into antimatter. With another blast, they collided, Ellis forcing Beelzebub and herself to crash into the sphere. For a moment, the sky on Earth went dark, before blazing with white light.

.

Now? The fuck-uppage of the Earth is immense, and guess who gets to fix it? That's right, the characters!

Need Help With: Interest, any suggestions are welcome.

What do you need help with:Covering up plotholes.

The world of Residen, a world of complete peace. The world is a perfect utopia, with no one complaining at all. Crime is non-existent, no one has pain, and no one is ever sad. The people are completely contempt with life. This is because of a special task force known as "Destiny", who maintain the peace and order of the world. These agents are commissioned and ran by the head of the organization, Doublo Ross, a man obsessed with action. Doublo is believed to have Hero's Syndrome, a mental condition creating an intense desire to constantly "be the hero". The rumor emerged when a group of mercenaries set off a bomb that destroyed the largest tower on the planet, the Global Banking Tower, taking away the perfect utopia that Destiny created.

These mercenaries were clearly well-armed and well-funded, but no one in the organization could figure out how, but Doublo was completely enthusiastic about the arrival of a group destroying the perfect utopia. He seemed like it was a blessing, immediately being the first one to arrive at the scene of the crime. Once there, he gave nothing but implied praise to the terrorists. He seemed to know they were going to attack because he had a full report on the situation quickly also, recognizing them as the Ronnus Cunos.

I've been thinking about creating an RP storyline revolving around the King Kong universe (2005 version, of course). Perhaps a British trade vessel crashed on Skull Island several decades prior to Carl Denham's notorious Venture voyage?

The passengers and crew would be forced to survive and try to find a method of escape from the hellish island. Maybe the trade vessel was secretively carrying military supplies during the early stages of WWI, thus giving the characters weapons and supplies needed to sustain themselves on the island?

It's an idea in progress. I figured I would request some public assistance. I would be willing to help someone with the storyline if they would like to take it over, as I already have a couple active RP's currently in session.

So are there still dino's? And what is the status on King Kong? Is he supes aggressive like in the movie or does that come later?

Of course there would still be dinosaurs! And given the fact that this RP would take place a little before the events of the movie, maybe there could even be more of Kong's kind?

By 1933, the year in which the film is set, Kong is the last of his species (given the scientific name "Megaprimatus kong" by Peter Jackson). The RP would probably take place during 1914-1916. Perhaps several of Kong's relatives were still alive during this time period? The arrival of the players could explain the sudden deaths of the giant silverback gorillas.

I might be interested. Depends on how this develops

But we would need a legitimate reason for the survivors to willingly push deep into the heart of the island. In the movie, their motivation was to rescue Anne Darrow. What would be the motivation in this case? To get essential ship repair resources only found at the center of the island?

Someone could be kidnapped like in the movie.

I suppose. Or they could be tracking a smaller group of crew members/passengers that briefly left the ship to scope out the island shores after the crash?

[Alleniana]

Are we like the Avengers of P2TM?

Am I Nick Fury?

Is that a rhetorical question?

-

It's got a good setting, but what would the players be doing? Rebuilding houses, killing bandits, thinking of recycling strategies, what?

Mostly, defense stuff: fighting bandits, training, dealing with mutant creatures, basic post-apocalyptic shit

That would be awesome. What about the sacrificial tribe in the movie?

Oh, they will be there. Based on the movie, they seem to dominate the rocky shores. Perhaps the RP will delve a little more into their customs and...rather gruesome and barbaric culture.

King Kong (2005)

[Abserdia]

I'm thinking of creating an RP in which you play as a monster hunter (Taken straight out of the video game!)
What it's like is, i'm the head hunter and give out the quests, while the other RPers attempt to kill this giant monster.
These monsters stand in at about 200-500 ft! Then you pick your weapon, and then attack!
But what i need is a way to figure out how strong the monster will be.
Like, i can't have the RPers rolling through it as a breeze!
So any suggestions?

[The Armed Republic of Dutch Coolness]

I recently made a RP about Monster Hunters. Suddenly, someone else did. This'll be number 3?

[Abserdia]

Oh, then i guess no MH RP for me!

[The Armed Republic of Dutch Coolness]

Neither are about the Video Game, however.
