Welcome to Mountain City, a city of adventure and intrigue. In Mountain City, a hero is made every day and a villain every night. A thriving metropolis, Mountain City is a modern city, built in the Appalachian Mountains of the eastern United States. Over the years the city thrived with coal mining being its main source of revenue however it quickly became a leading industrial city on the eastern 'States with several noteworthy corporations, factories, and production plants. Westman Chemical Plant, Napier Valley Ammunition Plant, Pepsi Cola Bottling Company, and Wells Helicopter are just a few of the reasons people choose to live and work in the grand city of tomorrow. The Mountaineer is widely known for its stories of new superhumans and celebrities, as well as the general local news. Midtown is where most of the action is, as well as the Mercury Mall. Subdivisions, landmarks, and schools include Lee Heights, the Kirby River, Bendis Elementary School, Mountain Avenue [one of the longest streets in America], Simon Middle School, Kubert High School, Riverview [ghetto subdivision], Highland Park, Warpath State Park [in the mountains], the Museum of Tomorrow [tech museum], etc. The city sees a number of tourists as well, all trying to get a glimpse of superhumans in action. Mountain City has more superhumans than any other major metropolitan city in America with a general population of over three hundred and sixty thousand residents with an estimated fifteen thousand superhumans possibly within city limits. And who are these superhumans?

__________________________________


That's where you guys come in. This Sandbox-style RP idea is to build an original universe but not necessarily a team right off the bat unless some of you want to. The general idea is to build a universe similar to how the big two comic book companies have done with heroic crossovers, fights between the heroes, and team-ups leading into the eventual founding of a superteam within the game. Now, that isn't saying you HAVE to join a superteam. Originally in the comics the Hulk only joined the Avengers long enough to take down Loki. When looking at the building blocks of a more connected universe I look to movies and story lines like Batman v Superman, Civil War, the Avengers, Justice League War [the animated retelling of the new52 JL origin], Hulk vs. the Thing, Secret Invasion, etc. There are a lot of teams and concepts involved, but not everyone's characters will be team players or want to be.

Posting requirements include a one post minimum in the IC per week. If we don’t hear from you for ten days in the IC then your name will be removed from the active/accepted player list. I'm not exactly looking for Advanced level length posts, I just don't want to have to assist everyone with their own individual stories because that isn't what this game is about. Two or three players could be working on their own thing in the game while I'm mimicking a battle like Hulk vs Thing or Superman vs Batman with another player in the background. If we lack a Superman or Capt. America type character or somebody else we may need, then the group can have dibs on collectively making them.

Throughout the game we'll create supporting characters and such for our characters and the universe as a group. However, players will also have the option of a secondary character after five posts in-game. Secondary Characters will need the same info as your Primary Characters and will just be used less often whenever you're not coming up with anything for your Primary Characters. Secondary characters will need Character Sheets posted and approved in the iCheck. Sandbox heroes and villains will also be made as we need them and can be used by anyone and everyone and I’ll make a list in the character tab so everyone knows what’s available.

Active/Accepted Characters Include:

Blueface – Me – GM
Black Witch – @NecroKnight
Huntsman – @Still Lake
Savior – @Metamore
Empyrean – @Ruiner
Enorme – @rocketrobie2
Harbinger – @Clever Hans
Noir – @Double
Kaze – @Kazemitsu
Drakos - @DocRock
Pineapple Pizza – @The Bork Lazer

Accepted characters can go ahead and start reposting your characters in the Character Tab. I’m shooting to post the IC later tonight or early in the morning. To anyone who wishes to apply keep any potential Character Sheets and discussions in the iCheck thread.

GM Notes 1/17/20 – I’ll update this part of the opening post whenever something happens that needs to be announced. This opening post may be modified off and on the first few days to include additional info, graphics, etc.

I know I said I was going to turn the profile into a police report, but I decided it wasn't worth the extra effort to do so, I'll just make a note when I post IC that the police are after her.

Took one too many Tylenol PMs and just now hopped on the laptop. Trying to finish the IC opener real quick before my son's basketball practice. If the ending seems rushed... its because it's going to be LOL. Might wait for the rest of the group to repost CS's before we begin the IC to make sure we haven't already lost anybody. Some of the accepted players were fairly new to the guild...

@Omega Man Fun idea, every now and then you make a post from the perspective of a news anchor, reporting on the various actions of the heroes and villains alike around Mountain City. It could be expositiinal as well as entertaining.

Edit: Expositional

@Omega Man Should I come up with an archetype for my character? If so, what do you reccomend? He comes across to me as a Super Solider/Wild Card Hybrid.
