My white whale idea that likely won't come to pass, even with my admission that I'll probably try other characters, is still Carol Danvers, Green Lantern. One of y'all -- or a Hypester -- once just threw out the idea that Hal Jordan was Carol's wingman who perished on a mission, and so Carol's whole arc would be learning to overcome her fear and PTSD from that incident and becoming Green Lantern. It'd even explain how she could end up with NASA (taking a cushy desk job over anything remotely dangerous) and meeting Phillip Lawson aka Mar-Vell aka the Green Lantern of Sector 2814.

Pretty sure we talked about it when I did Tony Stark, Iron Lantern for Henry's first RPG Singular Universe thing. We had fun for a whole two or three posts but then Spider-Man become available because @Architect dropped off the face of the planet.

To the surprise of no one, I'm attached at the hip to Batman, so there'll be no character swapping from me.

My Daredevil concept was that Fisk took Matt in and oversaw his training directly with The Hand until Daredevil became Fisk's own personal enforcer and turning Murdock into his own private attorney, making him more of an anti-hero character with designs on overthrowing The Kingpin when the time was right. Heavily inspired by the Shadowland/Spider-Gwen stuff, with a bit of a master and apprentice angle going on. I just really love the idea of making Murdock more morally ambiguous, given the many runs on the character that have flirted with the idea but never gone full-tilt - with the exception of a single run that took a promising portrayal and fucked it at the last minute by making all of it a case of demon posession.

There. Now that I've spoiled the concept, I can exorcise the desire to play it out.


Speaking of DD. I've always wanted to go back and retry my Devils concept from the first All-Star Marvel. I got one season out of it, but I had a whole fucking Scorsese-like epic of betrays, murders, and so many Rolling Stone/Eric Clapton inspired montages.

Oh before I get more drunk I should say that I have an idea that's a little different than my typical Kara for year 3-4. If I ever get to that point. Less crash landing on Earth and more crash landing on War World. It's a riot.

Random Inebriated Thought:

What player characters in the RP would you consider taking up if the player took a leave of absence to try something new? How would you build off the current season's dynamic, setup, and concept? What character would you be most interested in helping grow in a collaborative fashion?


I don't really think I could add anything to anyone's concepts, since alot of them are personally suited to their player. But if you're asking who'd be fun to play as a presented concept from another player... probably HenryJonesJr's Gwen or Wraith's Thor. I'd have done such a lesser job with either of those, though, and probably would've gotten lost very quickly.

I did have a notion of playing a female version of Spider-Man at one point, but it was heavily inspired by Mayday Parker and not Gwen, with Peter as her father and MJ being killed in the manner of Uncle Ben. There were also alot of villain concepts I wanted to play with in gender-swapping certain members of the rogue's gallery, aswell as switching entire dynamics around. But HJJ has done such a good job that I'd have felt like a pale imitation.

As for Thor, Wraith's concept itself would be fun to play around with, but I don't know enough about Thor's mythos to really play him. I'd be super lost.

Oh, and my white whale outside of my Kara which you guys who have been with me since 2013 should all know about is probably my Felicia Hardy as an agent of Kingpin. Wouldn't ever work in this game, but she's one of the big two concepts I've made over the years that I've never got to go far with. Me and Andy talked about doing a Spider-Man co-op story once, but it hasn't happened yet -- but he does seem receptive to the idea which means I'm super hyped to do so when the time comes. He's one of my favorite people to collaborate with.

I actually have a Supergirl concept myself that I once tried seven or so years ago, but the RP died and I only got two posts out.
Same with Starfire, two posts about ten years ago and then the game went gonezo.

I've done Starfire twice. One of the games crumbled after one or two posts where I realized I wasn't compatible with the direction. The other didn't get far. I got maybe three posts in that one. But I had fun setting shit up. Would love to try her out again. Maybe one day. People seemed to like my version. Biggest regret is I didn't get to play off Wraith long enough in the RP I tried her in on try number two.

Out of everyone, probably Wraith's Thor. I have a half-done sheet tucked away for my interpretation of the guy, but honestly a lot of my ideas (i.e. all of them) wouldn't fit with what Nate's done. His is a really great comic-inspired version, whereas mine is pretty much just Thor from the myths and would play with the concept of gods, Fate as a very real and literal force of reality, living stories, and what would happen should a god challenge Fate, with touches of Marvel-isms here and there. So really, Nate's Thor fits the spirit of the game a lot better and I should probably save this for a solo writing sorta thing.

Shamelessly stealing Andy's bit.
Ever since New 52, most of DC's characters can say the same.

See, and here your brief turn as Thor in... one of these fuckin' One Universe things... where you played up the Donald Blake alter-ego and also had a romance going with Diana Prince has left a serious impact on me that's always made me want to see more. I think the Asguardians and the Amazons make for interesting bedfellows (metaphorically and literally).

Possibly. I don't know that I had the whole Hal angle worked out back then. (He was Carol's coworker, but still very much alive.) But once the idea of fridging that fucker off-screen came to me, I've never been able to escape it... *wistful sigh*

I almost played Carol Ferris as a heroic Star Sapphire in this game before I decided on Bekka. True facts.

My other idea I always wanted to run with was doing a peculiar type of Sandman run. Not that Sandman but Wesley Dodds. Essentially this story of how he was cursed with immortality in a fight against Vandal Savage in the 20s and now he's been hunting him down ever since to figure out a way to die. I don't know, I like the idea of this haggard old man that has seen several ages of super hero come and go. Seen his wife die. Seen his kids grow old and die. A man that just wants to finish one last job so he can finally go to sleep. Maybe after I finish Natasha's story, but that's a long way away from now lol.

I'm interested in taking up Elijah Snow at some point down the road, but there's no way I could do Warren Ellis any sort of justice on that front.

On the front of multiple characters, how would the GMs feel about temporarily retiring a character? Suppose someone provided an IC reason to take a break from a character for a season, and had a spin as somebody else?

I once had a old, cranky Wesley Dodds as a supporting cast to my version of Batman. He was his "chemist expert". His day job was as a professor at the University of Gotham. Batman's exploits inadvertently pulled him out of retirement.
