Since time long past, Earth has been a world of Marvels. From Gods, to aliens, to mutants, powered individuals have walked the Earth, shaping its history. These ages of heroes would come and go, most recently during World War II, when Captain America would lead a new generation of heroes against evil. This age of heroes would end with the disappearance of the Captain and the end of the war.

However, a new age of heroes would begin in the past several years. There would be the Spider-Man, guardian of New York City, the X-Men, champions of mutant rights, and the Fantastic Four, explorers of all of reality. These early heroes would shape public perception of powered individuals. For mutants in particular, things would be hard with groups like the Friends of Humanity and the Purifiers directly targeting them.

But things would improve with the return of Captain America and the formation of the Avengers, Earth’s mightiest heroes. With the aid of SHIELD, a global peace keeping agency, the heroes of the world would continue to battle evil as it presented itself. However, a specter of the past, the terrorist organization Hydra, would turn out to be a major threat.

It was revealed that for decades, Hydra had secretly been in control of SHIELD, manipulating world events. The Avengers would reveal this secret to the public at large, causing Hydra to take drastic action. Using all the resources of SHIELD, Hydra would begin to attack all the superheroes of Earth. This would lead to a massive crisis in which widespread devastation happened across the planet.

In the end, Hydra was defeated, but at great cost. Many people died and SHIELD was left in shambles, before quickly disbanding itself. This led to a period of uncertainty for the world as they were without a global peace keeper. However, Nick Fury, disgraced former head of SHIELD, would convince Captain America to take control of the defense of the world.

Starting Project: Unlimited, Captain America would begin transforming the Avengers from a superhero team into a global defense agency. Seen as the heroes of the Hydra crisis, the Avengers would be welcomed with open arms by the general public.

Both former members and new heroes would be recruited into the Avengers, as they began creating various teams stationed around the world. One of the first teams formed would be based in New York City, operating out of the Avengers Mansion, former HQ of the Avengers.



So I want to run a Marvel roleplay set in its own universe. The actual lore will be formed with the aid of the players as we figure out how long superheroes have been around or what events have specifically happened. Right now all I’m ruling out is M-Day, the Blip, and the Krakoan nation.

I specifically want to play canons, which can be drawn from the comics, movies, or a complete re-imagining. However, original characters are also welcomed as well if that’s what you want. The only thing I ask with character choice is that it would make sense for them to be an Avenger.

As of now only two characters are taken. Steve Rogers is a central NPC and is busy running the Avengers, however you could use someone else as Captain America. I’m also going to play as Jim Hammond, the original Human Torch. At the start of the roleplay, I’ll be allowing two characters per player.

So who is up to forming their own canon as part of a global Avengers agency? Please post your ideas for a character, especially if you are going to be reimagining them.

interested! i believe we were in secret wars together a while back, which never really got off the ground. but the concept of reimaginings definitely hooked me, so i'd love to try it again here!

as for character ideas, i have a few, but i generally like to wait and see what others do first so i can play off of them. currently, though, im considering iron lad, loki, and wiccan for reimaginings.

Hi!

I would love to throw my interest into this.

As for characters I am considering, I would love to do either Black Cat, Dagger, or Emma Frost.

Well, I must admit my own interest in this.

I think, for the moment, I'm mostly interested in playing Thor. Not sure if I'd be reimagining him or not, that mostly depends on the developing lore.

Glad to see that people are interested in this.

@udonoodles
I’m hoping that this RP will last. As for your possible character options, all would work as members of the Avengers.

@PatientBean
Thanks for the interest. Dagger would definitely work, as would Black Cat or Emma Frost as long as they’re in one of their more heroic moods.

@Crimson Flame
Can’t wait for Billy and Tommy to return!

@Redcord
Thor would be great. And you don’t have to re-imagine a character if you don’t want to. You could play someone exactly as they are in the comics, MCU, or other official media.

I'm going to wait see for now if more people are interested before I create an OOC thread.

Did you want me to join this rp? I won't mind joining. I guess it's a continuation of the last Marvel RP.

Gotcha! No specific version of him comes to mind, in part because there is a decent amount...buuuut theres a solid core there no matter which version, which should be easy to work with. I'll no doubt figure something out.

Edit: Honestly, only thing I can think about atm is maybe editing his appearance a bit, plus working out a collective backstory with any prospective Loki players

Possibly interested in joining this if there is still room.

As for character ideas, I don't know. There are so many choices!
Some initial names that come to mind are:

Spider Woman (Jessica Drew), She-Hulk, Power Princess/Zarda, Star Brand, & X-23.

@Eviledd1984
It would be great to have you back as Spider-Man. Do you intend to keep him how you played him last time, older and with a kid?

[@Patient Bean]
Good to know. Now all you have to do is decide on one.

@Redcord
I'm going to mention this now that if players want to use connected characters, please consult other players of connected characters, just so that we can maintain a coherent lore.

@NinaDivine
Glad to see you have interest in this. All of your character options would work, except Power Princess as I have plans for her and the Squadron Supreme pretty early on in the story. But if you really want to play her, send me a PM and we can figure a way of fitting her in.

@Byrd Man
Great that you're showing interest! Do you have any characters in mind?

I think out of all of those options, I kinda like Black Cat the best. Never played as her before.

I know you were specifically asking for Canon characters, but I got a few Marvel OCs I’ve been looking to dust off. How hard is the Canon only rule?
