@DC The Dragon The death of Peter Parker? Is that an accidental carry-over from a previous game?

No, that's part of his history before Marvel's Secret Wars Event and his being rolled over into the Main Marvel Universe in its wake.

The only reason that I mention it, is because he remembers these things and it was one of the main things that molded him into the Spider-Man role.

@DC The Dragon Are you intending this to be an Elseworlds-esque story that doesn't fit into the "main" continuity of the game? There's already an accepted Peter Parker character for this RP, who I do believe is very much alive.

EDIT: Or are you saying that, like the current 616 universe, this Miles was transported from a different universe into the current game's?

No. Miles wasn't originally from the 616 universe. There was one, but he was killed long ago. Have you read secret wars..?

This is literally Miles Morales past, but not this RP's present and current stand of events. I'm in communication with this RP's Peter Parker for stories, the one I am talking about is separate and dead, having been from what was the Ultimate Universe, from a universe in Marvel's Continuity's Past.

Please do not drag this out as something that it isn't.

The thing about this game is that it's completely separate from any existing continuity, as I've tried explaining in PMs (hence why I connected Miles to the Titans and not the Champions in my sheet). You don't have to follow existing continuity to a tee, and it's encouraged that you don't. Personally I'm a little uncomfortable with how you've set up Miles, and would've liked if you continued our discussion to make sure that, like I said in our PMs, we're both happy.

This is ultimately up to @Lord Wraith and @Retired (as the as of yet unannounced co-GM), but that's my personal stance on this.

Ah I see. I've misunderstood a bit, though, at the same time, I'm saying that this is literally his past and what pushed him to becoming Spider-Man, canonically.

Edited: I've removed that section to keep from causing any further turmoil on the issue.

@DC The Dragon I think you're confused as to what I was asking. Nowhere did I suggest Miles was from the 616 universe. I was asking if you, as the player, are intending for your version of Miles to be similar to what was recently done, i.e., bring Miles from an alternate universe (one in which Peter Parker had died, as was the events in the Ultimate universe) to this current Absolute universe (the one that we as players will all be writing in).

So, my questions are: 1) Is your Miles Morales (your character, not the comic versions) from a separate universe originally? 2) Are you trying to make this Miles the actual version from Earth 1610? And 3) is your intention to suggest that a similar cataclysmic event such as what was depicted in the comic's Secret Wars has occurred in the multiverse of Absolute Comics?

As GreenGrenade has mentioned, Absolute Comics follows it's own, completely separate and unique continuity. It is not beholden or linked to any previous continuities depicted in comics, shows, movies, or other roleplays. You can, and are encouraged to, base your character upon and draw inspiration from events and such depicted in the aforementioned media, but that does not mean your character would actually be from those universes.

And, to prevent any further misunderstandings, I am the Co-GM for this game, and am asking these in an official capacity, not to incite any issues. I apologize for that not having been made clear on my part, as obviously I do not have the GM tag yet.

EDIT: I'm a little late on the draw, apparently. Curse you, food, for dinging as I was mid-response.
I encourage you, DC, to further discuss with @GreenGrenade the specifics of your character, and how your intended version of Miles fits with what he envisioned for Spider-Man. I would, though, suggest that alternate universes and people traveling from them to this one not be included quite yet.

I've simply had a full-fronted misunderstanding.

I may just leave the Spider-Man angle be as the goal isn't to make anyone uncomfortable, and simply focus on Shang-Chi and Blue Marvel's line of things amidst everything once I get their applications and story arcs in place.

Understandable, but don't feel like you can't apply for Miles. I would've just liked a more open line of communication, is all. :)

Round and round like a horse on a carousel...
An older Joker, fearing that Batsy has lost sight of what's truly important, and hoping to return a sense of priority to the aging vigilante.
Will I catch up to love? I can never tell.
He's feeling the years himself, and doesn't want to depart without showing Gotham who its citizens deserve, playing the final joke on everyone who thought their city - and humanity at large - were worthy of men like Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent.
I know chasing after you is like a fairytale
Joker has been laying low, watching his empire and influence spread and take root throughout Gotham through dazed, bored eyes. He's bored of 'heroes', bored of 'villains', bored of 'good' and 'evil'. Something needs to be done.

BUT I FEEL LIKE I'M GLUED ON TIGHT TO HIS CAROUSEL

@Archangel89, @HushedWhispers and @Roman, all of your character sheets are accepted.

@DC The Dragon, let me know if you decide to move forward with Miles and I will give the sheet a look over.

@Everyone,if you want to start posting in the IC for solo stories, you're welcome to do so provided you have been accepted. I will be introducing the first couple of Crossovers likely over the weekend but I want to get an idea of the cast before I start crafting a group situation.

I believe I'm most admired for my internal consistency. Here's a character:


T H E W I N T E R S O L D I E R

" M a y b e y o u d i d n ' t h e a r , S c h ä t z c h e n ? I t ' s c o l d o u t s i d e . "

B A R N E S ? ? ? / ? ? ? / 1 9 1 9 ( A G E ) M A L E T R U E N E U T R A L

C O N C E P T A B S T R A C T:

This interpretation is based on a version of the character that I have been mulling over for sometime. Following their defeat at the hand of the Allies in World War II, the leaders of HYDRA were left with two choices: jump ship to serve under SHIELD or return to operating within the shadows. The remnants of HYDRA survived on in this way, influencing the course of world events with the aid of special operatives known as Winter Soldiers. Recruited against their will, these assassins and enforcers were mentally conditioned for absolute obedience to their HYDRA masters. As part of their brainwashing, they were fed false and conflicting memories while their own were suppressed, in view of eradicating the person's sense of self, and to ensure their compliance, a method pioneered by Dr. Arnim Zola. When the Winter Soldier was not in use, they were frozen cryogenically, suspending their body's natural ageing process. After Zola's assumed death following a SHIELD raid on their principal facility, the project was thought abandoned and the Winter Soldiers were placed in stasis until such a time as they could be made useful again.

I intend to tell the story of one such Winter Soldier, awoke by accident and struggling to reconcile the two lifetimes sharing his head. One, the son of HYDRA's one-time leader, BARON HEINRICH ZEMO; the other, sidekick and follower of American war hero STEVE ROGERS. Their goals: to find out who they are, and to dismantle HYDRA.

Nothing too lofty.

N O T E S:

P E R S O N S O F I N T E R E S T

Dr. Arnim Zola: The engineer of Winter Soldier's current state, and a high ranking HYDRA operative. It is believed that he was killed in 1995, in a raid carried out by SHIELD.

Baron Von Strucker: By most accounts, the leader of the international terrorist group HYDRA. There are rumours that he has served them for more than a lifetime.

Captain America (Steve Rogers): The American super soldier and hero of World War II. Bucky served under him, alongside Nick Fury's Howling Commandos for much of the war. Cap seemingly died, preventing Baron Heinrich Zemo from launching a super weapon that would have ensured the Axis Powers' victory in the war.

Baron Heinrich Zemo: Father of Helmut Zemo and HYDRA super scientist, he served under the Red Skull up until his defeat at the hands of Captain America. He became the leader of HYDRA and survived many attempts on his life, dying of natural causes after retiring to Brazil.

Colonel Nick Fury: Rumors say the leader of the clandestine SHIELD agency served in WW2, in charge of the Howling Commandos. But that can't be right surely?

Time is variable. For all Crossover and Crises stories where I'll be providing and guiding the plot, they will be set I our present of 2017 which will be the 'Present' of the RP. But you're free to tell your solo stories as happening whenever you want. In fact, I encourage stories told in the past to help contribute to the game's lore and establish a timeline.
