You guys are really pulling deep for these singular 'I' words. I expect the next potential player to respond with "indubitably."


I


Inconceivably intrigued


Indubitably, my good Roleplayers. I put forth a new rule: All posts and replies must, henceforth, start with the letter "i".

Let's irk @Byrd Man some more with the following historical revisionism:



This should help tide you all until I can get an OOC up later this week, and give you a headstart on concepts that fit the world. These will be the lore events that are canon and unchangeable.

Already I'm looking at the mutant sheet I've got mostly done, reading this, and regretting my life choices.

Regretting life choices is usually standard for people who have to deal with me.

would howard stark and, by extension, stark industries, have had any presence worth noting in this timeline? i'm trying to conceptualise a spin on vision, and i was thinking of tying him back to them.

I made sure to only canonize enough events and figures from the comics in order to flesh out the world and set up future events. I chose not to include more than was necessary so that prospective players have a lot of freedom in their concepts. So, as long as yours fits within the mold of the timeline presented and the general setting, you should be fine to spin as you desire. All concepts that stay within timeline and lore boundaries will be equally considered.

You're free to tie the Starks into historical events. When players are accepted, their character concepts become canon and major events from their background will be included in the timeline (under a different color to denote GM canon versus player canon, as the latter is subject to change with drops). Stark Industries could easily be designing a Vision as part of the current superhuman arms race, if that's what you were wanting.

For those who may be working on X-Men plans, this is the concept I'm going to be using barring that it should prove irreconcilable with whatever other mutant POVs we see.

My short list of ideas are being trimmed down so I should be able to have something by the time we have a thread proper.

Glad to see so much interest. I'll begin the first steps of putting a thread together after work today, but I wouldn't expect the OOC to be up until Thursday.

Also, I realize at this point there are people actively creating character sheets, so I should say this now to avoid wasting the time of some of you. I'm going to be playing Spider-Man. I debated allowing competing apps against me with an impartial third party judge, but I plan to use Spidey's story to set much of the narrative scene in NYC so ultimately I decided on just taking the character. That being said, aside from other direct Spider-powered people which is a no-go, the Peter I'm going with doesn't present any conflicts should someone want to app as someone Spider-adjacent.

Apologies to those who may have already begun brainstorming Parker plans.

Also, for those wanting to explore the street level stories in NYC, the Maggia will feature heavily in events there. They've been the dominant criminal organization in the city for almost a century. The backdrop for NYC at the start of the RP will be the onset of a gang war between the recently weakened Maggia and other organizations.

Hopefully that helps with prospective street hero concepts. If that hinders any, let me know and we can work together to come to a compromise. Unlike the timeline events, I'm flexible with my personal Spider-Man intents.

Do you have a link to an old game you've run? Just want to have a close approximation CS template to whats going to be used here. No sweat if not, I'm good flying by the seat of my pants to start with and changing stuff later.

quick q - what's the difference between 'direct Spider-powered people' and 'Spider-adjacent'?

The color scheme can be adjusted, it's just that way because of Spider-Man. But so long as your character sheet hits these items, all is well. I highly suggest you use the notes section for listing dedicated NPCs you plan to write in your arcs, if any, so as to avoid conflicts.
