Welcome, to Counter Earth.

It may seem like Earth, at first, but don't let that fool you. Sure, Counter Earth's history is very similar to Earth, but 70 years ago, there was... A divergence.

A man from another world came, hoping to find a perfect world. He was quickly disgusted with what he found, and decided to "clean house". He discreetly set himself up, and got to work creating his "perfect" people to populate his Utopia- This was the rise of the Beastials; mutant animals, in varying states of near-human. Between his advanced technology, his machine enforcers and a rapidly increasing force of loyal Beastials, it wasn't long before this man conquered Counter Earth and declared himself "The High Evolutionary", supreme ruler.

The Beastials enjoy privelage, and status living above the clouds in towering metropli, while humans are kept in second class, populating the crowded ruins/slums of the old cities, called "The Basement". They're all "tagged", implanted with tracking devises so that they can be tracked at all times (The Rebellion has rigged themselves with means of jamming the signal to avoid being scattered and wiped out).

People, Beastials and humans alike, mostly go about their daily lives, many of whom grew up not knowing anything but the rule of The High Evolutionary, but there is an underground resistance building, occasionally being a pebble in The High Evolutionary's shoe, but otherwise planning and biding their time...

There are also masked vigilantes, some nursing grudges against the powers that be, but otherwise not aligning themselves with the Rebellion. Others are victims of this world, and fighting to protect others, and more still have their own special motivations.

Figures of Note

The High Evolutionary

The main villain of the series, the High Evolutionary, disgusted with the behavior of human on Earth, believed that a greater genetic diversity heightens survival traits. He left Earth to travel to Counter-Earth to begin anew, but found the same destructive tendencies that Human's had plagued his Earth. The High Evolutionary then proceeded to create a new society, with his human/animal creatures loyal only to him called Beastials (Half-humans, Half-animals). The High Evolutionary also created an elite squad of Beastials called the Knights of Wundagore, who also use the Machine Men as law enforcers to keep the humans in order. The New York City on Counter-Earth is divided vertically with humans living on the bottom and the Beastials living miles above the street, ruling with an iron fist. The High Evolutionary's plan was simple, to turn this planet into an earthly paradise, no matter what it takes.

The Knights of Wundagore

Knights of Wundagore - A group of elite Beastials who serve the High Evolutionary.

Lord Tyger

Lord Tyger is a genetically-evolved tiger and one of the High Evolutionary's first New Men. He was later placed as the leader of the Knights of Wundagore. Unlike his comrades, Lord Tyger's nobility is genuine; he operates with a sense of honor and tries to be fair and patient with humans. But, he is loyal to the High Evolutionary, and believes in their cause, even if he looks down on the actions of some of his fellows.

Sir Ram

One of the High Evolutionary's Knights of Wundagore and a genetically-evolved bighorn sheep. He has done various experiments (on humans) and is both cruel and hateful towards humans.

Lady Ursula

One of the High Evolutionary's Knights of Wundagore and a genetically-evolved bear. Ursa is more of a bully; brutish, mean-spirited and eager for a fight.

Lady Vermin
[center][vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/marvelan…
One of the High Evolutionary's Knights of Wundagore and a genetically-evolved rat. She is flirtatious, but don't let her "lady like" demeanor fool you- she's just as capable in combat as her fellow Knights, and can be quite cunning.

Machine Men

The Machine Men are robots that serve as the law enforces of the High Evolutionary and often back up the Knights of Wundagore.

The Hunter

The Counter-Earth version of Kraven the Hunter who is bald-headed with a ponytail and is always barefoot. He is one of a few humans that the High Evolutionary allows to live in the upper parts of the city. He works as a mercenary for both the rebels and the High Evolutionary.

Electro

The Counter-Earth version of Electro, he's a Beastial electric eel that possesses electrical powers. Electro is a guard for the High Evolutionary's main base Wundagore Castle.

Counter-Earth Rebellion

A group of humans that lead a rebellion against the High Evolutionary's forces.

Karen O'Malley

The Leader of the Rebellion. She was experimented on as a child, and as a result has abnormal strength and agility.

Daniel Bromely

Another member of the Rebellion, he came to New York City with his family before the High Evolutionary took over Counter-Earth and he is one of the few humans that lived a normal life before the Beastials were created. His family was taken to Castle Wundagore by the High Evolutionary and they were never seen again. Bromely was angered with the High Evolutionary that destroyed his life and family and decided to join the Human Rebels.

Git Hoskins

Git is a member of the rebels who doesn't speak. Sir Ram made an experiment on Git when he was young, resulting in him having mummy-like bandages and giving him the powers to stretch and control his bandages. Due to his appearance, he didn't have any friends growing up. Because of this, he has a personal grudge against Sir Ram.

X-51

X-51 was an obsolete Machine Man who crashed and unexpectedly gained sentience. As the result, the android becomes benevolent and protects humans from the High Evolutionary. X-51 joined the rebels for both humanity and machines' freedom.

Green Goblin

Hector Jones is the Counter-Earth Green Goblin. This version is actually a hero instead of a villain. Instead of a glider, he wields a backpack that sprouts wings.

Vulture

He is the Counter-Earth version of the Vulture. Like the Counter Earth Green Goblin, this version of the Vulture is a hero instead of a villain. Vulture was a human who got Bestial powers, hanging out with Beastials and disrespecting humans while he was also playing with his human servant's son. When he caused his human friend trouble, he hated the High Evolutionary for what he did and rebelled against him.

UUUUGGHH, I wanted to put the figures of note under a hider and for some reason the character sheet hider is the only one that wants to work.

In any case, applicants have the option of submitting a spidersona, but I strongly recommend also submitting a different character. Initial applicants will be the only one's allowed to do this, and I only need ONE spidersona, so make sure you're alternative is a character you actually want to play.

I'll post when I've approved a Spider character, so that applicants know it isn't an option anymore.

I mean, I've mostly appropriated a preexisting property and repurposed it (the fanfic is strong with this one), but I appreciate the compliment and enthusiasm.

Don't hesitate to send me a character using my provided template!

The Spider-Man character I had in mind does not fit this RP… So, I’m not submitting a spidersona. Here’s a character that does fit. What do you think?

Name: Elle Munroe

Alias: Storm

Alignment: Rebel/Vigilante

Mutant

Backstory/Motivation: Elle lived a fairly normal life with her parents, or as normal as one could get given the circumstances. They lived in “the basement” and didn’t have much in the way of money… However, Elle had both her parents, and they made do with what little had. For years, this was the only life Elle had known, and she was ok with it.

That was, untill a powerful hurricane rolled in to New York. Elle’s family couldn’t afford to take the right precautions. The result was that their home was destroyed, both her parents were killed, and Elle was left buried under rubble and debris for days. To this day, she suffers from claustrophobia because of it.

She was found later by some machine men, who took her to the Knights of Wundagore. Obviously, they did not treat her well at all, sir Ram performed cruel painful experiments on her. The process turned her normally brown hair white, but also gave her weather manipulation abilities. She escaped the first chance she got.

For a long time, she lived on the run. Pickpocketing and stealing to survive, and remaining in hiding from the High Evolutionary. One day she pickpocketed the wrong person, or in this case, the right person. She was caught by Karen O’Malley, and taken in by the resistance. They treated her well, taught her to use her powers, and gave her a home. Now she aids the resistances cause, and acts a vigilante under the alias Storm. Using her abilities to help other humans however she can.

Appearance:



Elle is a tall and lean black woman. Her thick white hair falls slightly past her shoulders, and it is often flowing in the winds her powers generate. Her eyes are a dark brown. For clothing, she wears whatever is practical that she can get her hands on. As storm she wears a purple body suit with a long cape attached by shoulder pads, as well as a sash around her waisr. Her feet are covered by thigh high boots, and her arms are covered by opera length purple fingerless gloves. She wears a purple domino mask, which really isn’t doing much to conceal her identity considering her hair is a dead giveaway… She also wears lightning bolt earrings, and a matching pendant, as well as a gold tiara on top of her head.

I like this... The Rebellion is almost exclusively human, so her use of her powers is more likely self taught. I think it's a good thing she met up with them, the odd weather phenomenon combined with her tag might have made it easy for Sir Ram to hunt her down, but I also just kind of assume her tag was damaged or shorted out in the accident. A serious advantage, to not be tracked :P

Anyway, thumbs up to this character! Other applicants, be advised: I prefer these applications done through PM.

Go ahead and move over to the Character Tab!

Not sure how I missed this, as I am a huge fan of Spider-Man Unlimited. In fact I had re-watched the show at the beginning of the year. If you're still looking for players, I do have an idea for a Counter-Earth Ant-Man fighting for the resistance.

Pretty much. I have a loose idea for a story, but intend to build on and work around what you all do, so, taking the initiative and really engaging would be really good for the game.
