A Marvel Comics RP
IC
Co-op: Lessoni
Safe. Thats how civilians felt when the Avengers were still active. And so it came as no surprise that after the untimely death of Tony Stark and the end of the Avengers, people all over the world began to feel insecure.
The year is 2033. After Nick Fury's resignation, Black Widow took over as director. But Natasha soon mysteriously "committed suicide", leaving the organization in disarray. Captain America is 190 years old, and the effects of the super soldier serum are wearing off; he is left with a poorer physical ability and lots of wrinkles. Dr. Bruce Banner is in hiding to prevent himself from losing control after the last incident. The Fantastic Four have gone missing. The X-Men have been confined to darkness as the government begins to crack down on young untrained mutants. The world is left with few reputable heroes to defend it.
Elsewhere, evil is flourishing. The New York mob led by the Kingpin has vastly expanded, and is responsible for most of the street crime on the East Coast. They have entered into an uneasy alliance with Oscorp, now led by a goblin-less Harry Osborn; he's supplying criminals with arms and tech. 28 year old Daily Bugle photographer Peter Parker is doing his best to manage the barrage of crime in NYC along with Daredevil, but Peter's having a hard time balancing his life with his responsibility.
Young heroes are rising. But will it be enough to keep the sinister plans at bay?
Welcome to the OOC Thread for Marvel: Resurrection. This is a superhero RP set in the Marvel universe, and New York City in particular. You can be a hero or villain, any original character or Marvel. You can have connections to existing Marvel heroes or villains, or create and entirely original one. If you do play a heavy weight Marvel character, try to play them well. The plot is mostly open ended. I'm looking for a CO-OP who can basically take on most of the OP's duties, since I've only run one RP before.
The Rules
- You can be an OC or almost anyone in the Marvel universe.
While you can make your own character, which I highly encourage, the nature of the RP gives you many pre-existing characters to play as. Marvel comics has a plethora of characters to offer. You can be any one of them if you like. I will add that any original Avenger, X-Man, or member of the Fantastic Four (e.g. Wolverine, Reed Richards, etc.) will be quite old - probably nearing 60 or more. I may bar you from being any character I see as being too OP. I also reserve Peter Parker, my personal favorite, for myself. - Decisions
This is mostly a sandbox rp. So you are free to make your own stories and arcs within the Universe. Your arc may fall into my ideas for a plot story and get caught into my arcs. That being said, my word and the word of anyone I appoint as a Co-OP is binding. If you don’t like a decision, I will, of course, have a look at it. - Post Quality
I don’t dislike short posts but please use proper spelling (I don’t care what regional variant), grammar etc., and make it at least a paragraph or two. - Posting Commitment: Nothing is worse than making an RP only for it to die. Therefore, I ask that players make at least one post every 72 hours. If you find yourself unable to post, please let me know in the OOC thread.
- Posting Speed On the flip side, blitz posting can also be infuriating. So, esepically during arcs and interactions, I recommend giving your fellow players time to post within a reasonable time. We all have real lives. If a player is unable to post within 72 hours, then it would be safe to post by them. Just keep interactions nice and smooth and easy to catch up on.
- IC Manners
Remember, we are writing a story, not playing to win. If I think you are writing your character as overpowered I will ask you to tone it down. - Character Death
Player death is possible in this RP, though will be quite rare and easily avoidable, but please don’t write that you have killed another character unless you have OOC permission from the character's owner to do it. If someone goes inactive in the middle of a fight scene without explanation and cannot be raised, I may decide to kill their character off. - Keep it PG13
Shouldn’t need to be telling you this really. Hopefully you all know how to write forum-safe stuff by now. I will be extremely disappointed if the mods have to pay us a visit. - Banning Players
I really don’t want to be doing that but I reserve the right to if you cannot follow the (hopefully, rather simple) rules above.
