Thanks!

And, yep. The sun is magical and projecting sort of a firewall around the entire solar system. No information of any kind, including light, in or out. So no, nobody knows about other galaxies and universes on this Earth! And nobody in other galaxies or universe discovers Earth.

I'm sure there are theories about it, like the sun had to come from somewhere, right? But it's just guesswork, because there's literally no way to tell. Meanwhile the universe outside is super wild and full of all sorts of nasty stuff that her Newtonium telescope detected. Like the best telescope and scanner, ever. Basically magic, lol. Like most of Stark's tech. I mean she saw Thanos, and Galactus, and all sorts of bad stuff. Stuff that's about to find out where Earth is in a few decades time. I think that would spur a sudden urge in her to create something, anything, that could stand up to that stuff and protect Earth. Like, say, Ultron. :P

At first I thought it might be a little much for her to be the only person in history to have figured out this new mega powerful element and use it to scan the universe, but then I remembered Stark has literally been the first person to invent time travel so, hey, this could be that for her, lol.

edit: Would you want me to go into more detail about her combat abilities were she accepted? or even before?

That won't be necessary at the moment. Should the character be accepted we can figure that out in more detail then. I may have more questions as the week progresses and I get a better idea of potential team dynamics. Thank you for the answers you've already provided.

I am curious, though, when you say he has adopted the guise of a young billionaire, do you mean he is simply behaving as the playboy, heir apparent everyone expects him to be, as is normal for the character, or that he has crafted himself a new identity? I assume the former and you're going the typical route, albeit more extreme, but I'm just checking.


The former is correct. His imitation of a "sane" person is to act the fool who relishes in his wealth and attention from the press. If he were ever outed, I imagine it'd be like discovering one of the Kardashians were secretly Jeffrey Dahmer all along.

I don't see how this is farfetched...

But, noted. Also, given he is both more modeled after his pulp iterations but still exists in a modern world, what sort of gadgetry does he operate with? I don't need a full layout at the moment, just a rough idea of the sort of equipment quality this Batman is used to. I'm imagining more simple batarangs and grappling hooks over sonar grenades and infrared vision.

The OG Batman largely used batarangs, rope, smoke pellets (practically his go-to, in those days) and the occasional firearm, so you're not far off. I think the biggest difference for nessescity is that he'd still have some kind of super-computer, frag/flash grenades, and The Batmobile, which would be militarized... all of which he'd probably lose anyway as an abductee. But he's definitely way more reliant on basic cunning than high-tech prowess.

Alright, makes sense to me. And, yes, the tech-based characters will definitely have lost out on some of their gear upon abduction. For the purposes of making his games more entertaining, Mojo would have the slaves provided with certain equipment and costumes - gotta be flashy for the audience. I imagine for certain characters their equipment/armor would also suffer damage in the death games. Upon acceptance, these sorts of details will be worked out. But you would have a limited supply of gear to utilize.

Which makes it interesting when arriving on alternate worlds and realizing you need to replenish. What's that? Pull off a heist on this reality's Batcave to restock on batarangs? What could go wrong...

Figured I'd toss my hat in the ring here, see how it lands. Might make a few changes before the week is up.





Interesting concepts. A question about the Captain's world, though. Was the entire Earth destroyed and the survivors are on a Skrull world now?

Gotta fix up that sheet later. I think the plan was that Steve is surviving on a Skrull world, and the rest of humanity is stuck on an "ark" of sorts floating in space. Not much of humanity left.

Steve is one of the only humans left in Skrull captivity. There's a chance there could be more... And those that are left are in a precarious position. Not a great reality to be stuck in.

Alright, well, for story purposes, I need everyone to have been on Earth (or an ark where Earth formerly was, I suppose) when their abduction took place. So if you could work that in, that'd be great. Shouldn't change too much of the concept so long as the Skulls maintain control of Earth orbit, etc. Sort of like Agent of SHIELD's fifth season plot with the Kree.

I also have to admit, I'm on the fence about accepting a Hulk concept. I want to let you know now so there's time to submit a different proposal if you would prefer. Right now I'm not sure how I feel about the viability of a true Hulk in a group that will be together indefinitely. It's not the same as him making frequent Avengers appearances in comics or the team-ups over the years. It'll be an ongoing, nearly inseparable group format. I think if it was more of a Professor Hulk or Joe Fixit-esque concept I could see it being more viable, and I know I would be okay with a She-Hulk. But, while I like the concept itself, I'm just not entirely sure that a full-blown Hulk who is the dominant personality would work well for this.

I haven't made a decision one way or the other yet, as I said just want to let you know my current thoughts long before the app deadline. If you have further ideas for the concept and want to ask me about them directly, feel free to DM me.

Colour me interested. I've been hankering after an Exiles-style game for a while.

I'll have a proper read through the OOC thread and other people's sheets and see if I can come up with anything, but I'm pretty busy in real life at the moment so I don't want to overcommit myself.

Somebody told me that I could get accepted in this. I already have a defined character, they aren't an Exile. But, maybe I could do something else to be in. I haven't read the rules and regs yet, but you know I will if I get accepted by way of submitting a character sheet.

So, what's up homeslice? Do I have to be an Exile?

uh, This may not be a character-wise exclusive thread. Excuse that. I confused this Marvel/DC cast for another.

I feel like this is the type of game where you can comfortably join without feeling overpressured. I care more for reliability and perseverance over rapid-fire posting. Quality over quantity with me. I find you get significantly fewer failed RPs and dropped players that way.

As noted in the opening post, I'm officially only looking to enforce one post per month for each player. And while I expect that there will be times where it's more frequent than that, there won't ever be pressure to churn out posts on a weekly basis. So, hopefully, this would be the sort of relaxed atmosphere that would suit you right now.

I'll do some re-writes sometimes this week, and DM you if I have any questions. Thanks for the feedback ahead of time.

To those who have expressed interest thus far, and any who come along next, what alternate worlds or concepts would you like to see? Whether it just be a character you like/think is underutilized and would like to see be the focus of a reality the group visits, or a story arc from the comics you felt didn't end properly and would want to see revisited, or something from our real-world history you think would create a unique reality had it gone a different way, etc.

While I have dozens of alternate realities already plotted out, I am interested and open to including others suggested here.

I think what made the original Exiles so interesting was that the team wasn't comprised solely of marque characters.

Funnily enough, not only were a lot of the more obscure ones (Mimic or Blink, say) actually the more interesting, but it gave the whole run this sense of genuine unpredictability. Anyone could get it. Kind of like the Suicide Squad. So as enthralling as I find "Diana Prince with Mjolnir" concepts, I have to say I love the really out of left field ones. Hopefully I can add something along those lines before the deadline closes.
