Hasbroverse: What If?

@Dragonfly 9@Duthguy So, what kind of RP would you guys prefer? So far i have the following idea's, and "I'm fine with whatever" is an incredibly unhelpful answer, "Preferably B, but i'm also good with A" is a good format for an answer.

A) Traditional Party RP: There is a story about characters going across the different timelines on some kind of adventure, exploring the could have beens and might haves along the way to the greater goal.
B) Nation RP: Pretty much, the RP takes place in 1 specific universe where each player gets to decide one faction that they control, be it G.I. Joe, Cobra, Decepticons, Autobots, Jem and her band, the Space Knights, the Wild Force Power Rangers, the Wind Ninja Academy, the Arashikage Clan, Earth Coprs, ETC. Conflict stems from the clashing of world governments and changing allegiances. The Joes may one day get orders from the president that those guys in Angel Grove cannot be allowed to keep their Colossal Assault Vehicles and that they will surrender them to the US Government. D'Compose might manage to infect Matt Tracker and send out orders for M.A.S.K. to attack Earth Corps.
C) Group Storytelling: Each player gets a whole world to control. They decide how it works. Maybe the Rangers, Joes, Autobots, Holograms, Earth Corps, Space Knights and the like have all been rolled into 1 grand Earth Defence Command? Maybe this is the bad timeline, where Cobra Commander is President of the World, Megatron rules Cybertron with Optimus' head on his throne, the Misfits are the one true girl-band at the top of the charts and Jem is being made to write their songs? Maybe it's a world that has only just started to learn about the new and weird stuff going around. In any case, some great big extra dimensional threat is about to rear its ugly head and all of these timelines are about to become intimately aware of each other.
D) Free Exploration: You chose character/characters that you control. You work for your respective leaders and travel this strange world at your leisure. Team up with allies, fight enemies, do what you will. Just know that, every so often, your higher ups will demand things from you.

Hasbroverse: What If?

@Duthguy What kinds of things are you familiar with and what kinds of AU are you looking to explore?

Hasbroverse: What If?

@Dragonfly 9 Still figuring out the details. Might run it more like a Nation RP, might run it like "Single character, or team of characters from each AU" We'll see what interest there is and what kind of stories people want to tell.

Hasbroverse: What If?

So, i've been toying with this idea for a while. But pretty after seeing some other guys do something similar, i've decided to try it out in a different way:

Pretty much, i'm looking for some writers to take part in a multiverse RP. One where weird things happen based off of Hasbro (And affiliated) properties, such as:

*Transformers
*Power Rangers
*G.I. Joe/Action Force
*Rom The Space Knight
*Ghostbusters
*Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
*Action Man
*Zoids
*Jem & The Holograms
*Beyblade
*My Little Pony
*Gobots
*M.A.S.K.
*Magic the Gathering
*Inhumanoids
*Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light

Pretty much, a whole weird and interconnected universe where you ask yourselves "What if...?" stories an help bring those stories to life in weird and wonderful ways.

What if the Power Rangers were bad guys and Rita and Zedd were the Emperor and Empress of Good? What if the Autobot/Decepticon war never spilled over to Earth? What if Cobra won and destroyed GI Joe, before setting out to take over the world? What if it was Pinkie Pie who was the Element of Magic and became the Allicorn Princess? What if it was the Gobots and Renegades were the ones who came to Earth instead of the Autobots and Decepticons?

And then there's the weird crossover ones that can happen: What if Spike Witwicky and his pals were the ones who were called by Zordon to be his Teenagers with Attitude? What if Cobra Commander was from the Changeling Hives of Equestria, instead of the Himalayan Snakemen of Cobra-La? What if Optimus Prime had scanned Bruce Sato's Rhino and helped him in his fight against Miles Mayhem? What if the Space Knights were defending the galaxy from the denizens of Dimension X instead of the Dire Wraiths? What if Phyrexia invaded Cybertron?

The possibilities are endless and i'd love to discuss some possibilities for stories.

Young Heroes

@Eviledd1984@Crimson Flame@mattmanganon Guys, I'd like to discuss power level's with you. For our game, I'd heroes like Beast Boy - strong and with cool abilities, but nothing too crazy. Imagine fighting bad guys in a back alley, not destroying cities or fighting cosmic entities. Think more fists and gadgets, less world-ending threats. Cool powers, but gotta keep it street level! This considered, do you guys have any ideas for your characters?

@OfTheValley

Hmmm, depends on the setting. I mean, what's the story? I like making characters who have some kind of stake in the story.

Young Heroes

Potentially, I remember trying this a while ago in Amalgamvers where you picked a DC character to be one of your parents and a Marvel character to be the other. Lead to some weird and wacky combos.

What kind of RP mood are you in?

Still can't help but crave something Star Trek after getting back into Star Trek Online.

X-Men: Cosmic Crusades 👽

Robert Linden

Rob watched Magneto continue to lose further and further control. Well, trying to appeal for the good of his family sure as hell didn't seem to help. God damn his spine was hurting right now, the rubber insulation wasn't doing as much as he had hoped. He needed to push through further. If he didn't stop Magneto here and now, he was going to pull the station to pieces. He looked back to the others, he was close to the epicenter of Magneto's freak-out and with all of the metal bending and flexing around him, he couldn't hear a damn thing that was happening back there. Most of the others attempts to communicate that he should maybe try something else getting lost in the din. Think, Rob, think. Nothing to really do but try and get further through to him. Maybe... He tried pushing himself further, through the shards of metal, putting his hands up to his face to protect from the shrapnel that was starting to chip away at the aluminium outer shell on his body. He didn't want to absorb anything coming at him because that would make him even more susceptible to the magnetic forces. He pushed his way through to within arms reach of Magneto, but that's when his legs gave way... But he didn't fall to the ground. Instead he seemed to get caught up in the swirling vortex of metal around Magneto for a second, thrown against the wall. He landed and absorbed his feet into the ground to keep himself in one position for a second to think. No, his spine had too much Adamantium in it, he wasn't getting anywhere close to Magneto with that. He had been hoping to maybe absorb the helmet to make him open to the psionic attacks for the others, but that most certainly wasn't happening. "CAN SOMEO-" He called, but the sounds of battle and metal were too much. Nobody was going to hear him, also, his sentance was cut short by metal shards flying into his mouth. His tonsils might be aluminium, but when they got pinged by a shard of steel flying at them, it made his gag-reflex want to blow chunks everywhere. As plant vines sprang across the walls to try and keep them together, Rob threw Mary a thumbs up in gratitude, of course, she had other things to deal with, so he doubt she saw it.

Well, appealing to the visionary didn't work, appealing to the father still had no effect... Maybe it was time to appeal to the maniac? Getting up, his feet unfused with the floor and he pushed his way past through the debris field. He was starting to feel the nicks adding up, he was going to die to death by a thousand cuts at this rate. "MAGNETO!" He called through the cacophony of broken station. "IS THIS WHAT YOU'VE BEEN REDUCED TO. THE MASTER OF METAL NOW A PUPPET DANCING ON THE STRINGS OF A SNAKE-OIL SELLING RAT?! YOU ARE THE ONLY HOPE FOR MUTANT KIND!!! ONLY YOU CAN BRING US THE AGE OF MUTANT PEACE WE WANT... NO WE NEED THAT AGE. ASTEROID M WILL BE A NEW EDEN THAT WE CAN GROW FROM!!! YOU ARE MAGNETO!!! STOP PLAYING HIS GAME, SNAP OUT OF IT AND BE THE MAN WHO WILL SAVE US ALL!!! ASARI SAW THAT IN YOU!!! SHE SHOWED ME I WAS WRONG ABOUT YOU!!! I DESIGNED THIS PLACE FOR YOU AND ALL OF THOSE WHO RELY ON YOU!!!" He was hoping that in his addled state, Magneto wouldn't see through the lies about him having drank the Kool-Ade, but it was more about getting him to pull himself together, stroke his ego to the point where it can break out and assume full control. "WE ALL FOLLOWED YOU TO THE STARS BECAUSE WE BELIEVE IN YOU! YOU ARE THE UNDISPUTED MASTER OF MAGNITISM! THE GREY KING OF GENOSHA! THE HERALD OF THE AGE OF MUTANT KIND!!! NOW START ACTING LIKE IT!!!" He roared at Magneto. If not even the maniac that wanted human genocide could break through Cortez's control, then they abandoning M might be their only choice. He just REALLY hoped that his 5 years of planning wasn't going to just be undone by a drug dealer and a bunch of trigger-happy X-Men. He put his hands up to protect his face from the barrage of metal shards, regardless of what happened now, it was time for him to pull back.

I got my proposal all ready to go: "What If: The Writers didn't need Peter Parker to suffer constantly for no god-damned reason?"

X-Men: Cosmic Crusades 👽

Robert Linden

Rob was taken aback a little by Pietro having a go at him for his Irishness, but quickly regrouped and shook his head "Bloody Yanks..." He mumbled under his breath , before Carolina ran over to Neil and he followed. He smiled as the Gender Terms were brought up. He tried his best with them, but he was very much a man before their time. "Just try your best to show respect." He replied in a "I dunno, i just try my best" sort of way.

As the Shards started firing, Rob hadn't been looking and wasn't so much effected by the shards of metal, smashing into his hardened skin, but some parts of him were starting to act weird, he quickly put himself between some of the other X-Men and Magneto. He then looked at Magneto to see it was him freaking out. "ERIK!" He yelled, before running over to him. He was lucky that Aluminium wasn't magnetic, but he quickly collapsed as he got close to Magneto. Yeah, the Aluminium on his skin may not be magneticly conductive, but that Adamantium that was keeping his spine together sure as hell was. The waves kept pulling the adamantium out of allignment, meaning that he was pretty much doing a Ministry of Silly Walks in a desperate attempt to stay upright. "ERIK, YOU GOTTA PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER! YOU GOTTA KEEP M TOGETHER, YOU'VE GOT A DREAM THAT NEEDS SAVING!!!" He roared at him over the din of shuddering and cracking metal. He then laughed "I HATE TO SAY I TOLD YOU SO ABOUT THAT CORTEZ GIT, BUT I DID TELL YE SO." He then looked at the others. "DEAL WITH CORTEZ, I'LL KEEP ERIK HERE COMPANY!" To be honest, Rob had had quite some time to prepare for a fight with Magneto. He understood that Magneto was a Mutant Supremacist and would rather murder a million baby humans than harm a single hair on the head of a Mutant, but he had always had that niggling paranoia that Magneto would try to kill him after M was completed in one of those Bond Villain "And now nobody will be able to reveal M's secrets, MWAHAHAHAHAH!!!!" twists. He grabbed one of the wires in the wall absorbing it, one of the lights near him went off as he grunted, using the rubber insulation to surround the adamantium in his spine. It helped, not perfectly, but at least he was able to move more coordinatedly now. He spat the copper of the wire onto the floor in a little ball then moved back into the middle of the hall and flung his arms and legs wide, trying to cover as much of the hall as possible, ready to absorb the next piece of metal that came flying and hopefully "COME ON, ERIK, YOU'RE STRONGER THAN THAT TOSSPOT, AND SO IS THE DREAM OF M! IT'S YOUR DUTY TO KEEP M TOGETHER! FOR ALL THE MUTANTS, FOR YOUR BROTHERS, FOR YOUR SISTERS... He turned to see Pietro hit by shrapnel and trying to hobble away "YOUR CHILDREN!!!" He breathed a little more heavily. "ASARI BELIEVED IN YOU. DON'T LET HER DOWN, DON'T LET THE CHILDREN DOWN!!!" He REALLY hated having to bring Jasmine and Asari into this, but anything to try and give Magneto the emotional anchor he needed to fight this right now. He'd deal with the fallout later. Right now, Magneto was in danger of tearing the whole station apart. ONE FATHER TO ANOTHER, YOU KNOW YOU'LL DO ANYTHING TO PROTECT THEM, SO PROTECT HIM NOW!!!" He roared with passion and fury "DON'T ME THE SHITTY FATHER THAT DOES THIS TO THEIR CHILD!!!" He pointed to the scar down his face, he had told Magneto about how his father had done it to him with a straight razer after his powers first manifested. DON'T BE THE HUMANS YOU'RE ALWAYS SAYING WE'RE ABOVE!!!"
