Ambition



History


Heroes have always been around in some form or another, it's just that most people didn't realize it. I mean, men like Merlin and Etrigan have existed since history started to be properly documented, but they didn't really start to pop up more frequently until the settling of the New World, when men like Jonah Hex, Zorro and the Lone Ranger began to make names for themselves. They were seen as a novelty, until society developed the means of getting their antics to the public at large. In the 1930's, the first wave of costumed crusaders. Men like Dan Garret "The Blue Beetle" Britt Reid "The Green Hornet" and Namor the Submariner began to don costumes and help those in need in the post-Wall Street Crash society. They captured headlines everywhere, but it wasn't until the beginning of troubles in Europe that people truly saw the need for these super-powered individuals. At this time, a number of the larger named heroes, such as Diana Prince "Wonder Woman" Steve Rogers "Captain America" and Stardust the Super-Wizard got together to come up with a way of coordinating the heroes of the world against the tyranny of the Axis, this group would become known as "The Justice Society" gathering heroes from all over the world.

The Justice Society took part in many decisive battles against the Nazi's, the picture of , but with great good, great evil raises to oppose it. The Red Skull and the forces of HYDRA, along with men like Baron Blitzkreig, Krakko the Samurai-Robot and The White Lions were always there to make sure that the Allies had to fight tooth and nail for every inch of europe that they liberated. Sadly, Captain America was lost in the fighting, but his martyrdom spurred the free world to redouble its efforts.

After the fall of the Nazi's, the next menace that came was draped in Crimson, the world held its breath for 45 years as the east and west starred each other down. but during this time, the Mutants began to make themselves known. Charles Xavier, a young scientist, along with his best friend, Erik Lehnsherr, travelled across the world, gathering Mutants, bringing them to the safety of the "Charles Xavier Institute for Gifted Youngsters" the world also witnessed the rise of S.H.I.E.L.D. A joint taskforce of U.N. countries, designed to safeguard the people from superpowered individuals. It was in the early 90's that the world bore witness to the rise of its greatest hero. The man they simply called "Superman"

S.H.I.E.L.D. was notorious for working in the open and this made a number of people inside of the American government nervous. To this end, they created their own secret taskforce that would only operate in the shadows, this group became known as "CADMUS"

The Gimmick


So, every RP like this has to have a gimmick, it's the rules. What is the gimmick here? Well, every so often, i'm going to start dicking with your story. These will be called "World Event" Where everyone, suddenly, has to deal with the fact that something has gone wrong in the world. Could be an alien invasion, could be WWIII, could be something as simple as The Joker replacing every pillow in your house with a Whoopie-cushion. In any case, when these pop up, i will expect you to deal with them in some way. You don't have to drop everything you are doing, but at least have it play in somehow.

Essentially, i'm giving you guys a big plot of land and saying "Build whatever you want on it. Just bare in mind that i will, every so often, replace all of your cement with custard."

Rules


*You came here expecting to be GM'd by a Madman, but instead your GM is a GOD!!!!* I am the be-all, end-all of arguments here. If i say "Quit that shit" then i expect that shit to be quitted.
*Be Courteous* This is a RP for everyone involved, if i feel that someone is griefing too much, or causing others to not feel comfortable, there will be disciplinery action taken
*18+* Always one that comes up. If you have the feeling that what you are posting isn't for wholesome christian websites like this, then put it in a hider labelled 18+. So, yes, if you want gory slaughter, or hard-core nudity and in-depth descriptions of the horizontal monster-mash, then feel free to, but at least warn us with that hider.
*Posting Expectations* This is going to try to be as laidback as possible, as such, i expect people to make an IC post at least once every 3 weeks, if you let us know over PM or just posting in the OOC, then that should be ok. If you are having trouble coming up with a post, then do feel free to spitball idea's either in the OOC or by PMing me.
*Canon Mains Only* So, every sheet should be based around a main character that was in continuity from a franchise. Doesn't matter too much which franchise, but i don't want any OC main characters. Now, if you want some OC secondary/tertiary characters, then that's fine, but try to use as much of their existing supporting cast as you can.
*DON'T* If you are thinking about it, then don't.

Do we have to be established characters or can we make OC's?

If it is established characters only, can I play Superman? The intent is to play the character as the comics or the animated series portray him, someone that likes helping people. The heroic symbol. He will not be all powerful. Maybe among the greatest heroes yes, but he's going to get knocked around.

Is the history you've written set in stone? It seems rather restrictive, as it writes the history for some of the bigger named heroes that some people may wish to apply for, such as Superman and Captain America, while also deciding the history of some villains and organizations.

To be perfectly honest, i was hoping someone would want to play Superman as the Big Blue Angel. I highly encourage you to throw up an CS.

@webboysurf No, it's not set in stone, as i said in Interest Check. If you want to play any of the characters and reimagine them, that is 100% ok. The only things that are set in stone is the following:

*The heroes from WWII era exist and and the Justice Society of America faught on the side of the Allies. The Axis villains were all members of HYDRA.
*Superman exists.
*Professor X and Magneto exist.
*S.H.I.E.L.D. and CADMUS exist, with CADMUS being established much more recently.

@mattmanganon

I will make one small request when submitting my CS.

I kind of want Superman to really have a deep seated respect for emergency responders and law enforcement officers. To him, these people protect and help others without the benefit of being bullet proof and thus are brave, maybe even braver then he is.

Additionally, he has an admiration of Captain America, having always seen the icon of heroic ideal even while growing up in Kansas. If Captain America is still alive, i'd humbly request some kind of mutual respect and friendship if able. A kind of "You're my hero." from a younger generation to an older one.

@ShwiggityShwah Well, that would have to be discussed with someone if they play Captain America. He's not dead, he's currently on ice. I've decided to leave him there until someone claims him.

As for the other one, i don't see that being a problem at all.

A WIP, I want to make sure the RP has alot of players before I put in effort to make a proper character. I've made plenty to only have the RP never get off the ground.

In all seriousness, you look like you've got a plan and I like where it's going.

What is post length? I think that two to five paragraphs is cool.

@officaz pretty much, try to post as much as you can and try to progress your story with each post. I'm not asking that every post be it's own self contained story arch, but try to make sure that your posts are enjoyable to read.

Got any ideas for the character you'd like to play?

Just came back to the Guild and ready to RP and this seems interesting. Most likely will apply as Wolverine, specifically Jimmy Hudson, the son of the Ultimate Marvel Wolverine. Of course I'll be mixing things in from other continuities and my own ideas. Expect a character sheet tomorrow.

Might toss a character sheet out tonight, tomorrow, or early next week. I've got a rather wild X-Men concept I haven't gotten the chance to work out, so I'll prob app with that.

Well, time for me to make my own contribution.

Now, although Marvel and DC are big on this universe, it also contains other superhero comics, which I intend to use fully.

A bit skeletony, I admit, but it will build up in time.

@Jareth Sounds good. Although, i think you may want to work things out with Webboysurf since he seems to be going in the X-Men direction.

@webboysurf Wild concept sounds good. If you need someone to bounce idea's off of, do let me know.
