These powered individuals will often use their powers for their own benefit or to help others. These beings became known as supervillains and superheroes respectively. These heroes and villains first showed up during World War II, with heroes like Captain America captivating the public’s attention. In the decades following the war, the existence of mutants became public knowledge. Anti-mutant groups like the Friends of Humanity would quickly form as superheroes were lowered in public opinion. This would change with the dawn of a new era of heroes. From the Spider-Man of New York City to the return of Captain America, heroes would once again be valued. This new influx of heroes would result in the formation of many teams like the Fantastic Four, X-Men, and the Avengers. While these heroes were busy fighting crime, they were watched over by SHIELD, a global defense agency. For many years this setup would work as heroes regularly saved the world. But that would change one year ago. Captain America, leader of the Avengers, would discover that the terrorist organization Hydra was secretly in control of SHIELD and had been manipulating world events. The many heroes of Earth would team up to defeat Hydra, capturing most of its leaders. In the wake of this crisis, SHIELD would be disbanded. The planet was now left with a large hole in security. Captain America would then be approached by Nick Fury, former head of SHIELD. After the two spoke, Cap would decide to expand the Avengers into a global agency. Captain America would then recruit many former and new members to the Avengers in what was known as the Unlimited Initiative. The first squad of these new Avengers teams would be based in New York City, operating out of the old Avengers Mansion.

However these characters aren’t limited to classic Avengers, as pretty much any heroic character is acceptable. Characters can also be reinvented as long as the core of the character remains the same. Original characters can also be acceptable as long as they fit in this universe, but they would be a minority. This RP will be episodic in nature, following this new team of Avengers navigating a world post-SHIELD and Hydra. Other Marvel heroes will pop in every so often for a guest appearance. Also players are encouraged to submit story ideas to steer the course of this RP. [centre][img]https://i.imgur.com/RnLxZkK.png[/img][/centre] Rules: [list][*]Abide by all rules of the Guild.
