Ambition

"This time, it'll work" Edition



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 before 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.
*DON'T* If you are thinking about it, then don't.

@Crimson Flame @Shard @Kenshi @FalloutJack @Skittlez

Here it is, the OOC. There's a Character Sheet skeleton in the first post. If you see a character in the plot summary that you would like to use, feel free to say so and i'll change it to be more in line with what you want to do.

The only other matter of business that immediately springs to mind is, do people want me to set up a Discord server so that we can chat about story idea's and other stuff in real time?

I can work with Discord as much as without it. Just make sure it's not like on the Guild's main Discord server. If that's a big one, there could be a near-constant stream of messages that I won't be able to deal with.

@FalloutJack Don't worry, it'd be a private one, dedicated to only this RP. I find that chatting in real time really helps, especailly when you're trying to come up with story idea's, it's nice to have someone you can spitball off of.

@SkittlezI'd rather you kept it to one story to start off with. That being said, being that this is a Sandbox, feel free to have as many people in your story as you need. I actively encourage Odd Couple pairings.

@FalloutJack

Interesting CS. Only complaints i can see so far are:
1) Please only include in the Allies list characters that you plan to play. Batman's kinda a big one, so him serving as a tertiary character in your story is probably a no, due to someone probably wanting to make a CS for him at some point.
2) So, in the "Story Overview" section, you've done a great job on how your character got here, but i will need some detail on where your character is going. Some basic "These are the kinds of stories i'm planning to tell with this character"

Apart from that, it's looking good so far.

I want to make some aesthetic changes to the character. Just an appearance tweak. Will repost soon.

@mattmanganon Fair point on the Batman thing, but I was thinking that the overview was leading to the establishment of Cobalt Thorium G as a big deal and the reason she shows up here, and then my opening post proper deals with how she gets here, directly after. If you really want me to add another paragraph, I can do it, but I was in fact planning to lead right to her arrival at the start of the RP. Up to you.

@FalloutJack Nah, man, i get that part, but what i meant was, i assume there is more than a single storyline you are gonna try and explore, i kinda want an idea of what the storylines are going to be, it helps me plan a narrative, as well as the most fitting world events to have. Even if it's just a couple of bullet-points. It's just that you've got all of these listed enemies, but your only immediately planned villain is Allen. I understand how Baron Von Madness and the Maniacs played into the past of this character, but how will they fit into the future? What's your plans for Zen showing up in this universe? Is the Hellverse coming to her or is she going to the Hellverse? Stuff like that.

@mattmanganon Okay, that ought to do it. All the villains with their ambitions will have plenty of reason to be incoming, and the big one is a necessary lynchpin. Anymore questions, comments, concerns, etc., I'll be in touch.

@FalloutJack Looked it over. I have no immediate concerns. All i ask is, try not to make your adventures have world-altering consequences, or that could really fuck up other peoples plans.
