Premise

There was an idea [...] to bring together a group of remarkable people to see if they could become something more. To see if they could work together when we needed them to, to fight the battles that we never could
Former Director of SHIELD, Nick Fury

The Avengers are Earth's Mightiest Heroes, a group of incredible individuals with unique powers and gifts that allow them to fight the battles ordinary humans cannot. They protect the Earth from threats both internal and external, acting as our first and often final line of defense. But Avengers are not forever - they grow old, they die, they fall in love, they retire, they disappear. To secure the future of the world, we need to train the next generation of heroes - the new Avengers.

To this end, the Avengers have founded the Margaret Carter Institute, known to the public as Avengers Academy. There, students with special gifts are trained to become the next generation of superheroes, learning how to function together as a team to accomplish what no one person can do alone. But Avengers Academy isn't the only school for super heroics, competing for students with the Jean Grey School, Strange Academy, and Braddock Academy among others. Each year, schools from across the globe send their best and brightest students to participate in the Contest of Champions. The first prize is one million dollars and the top superhero teams tend to recruit from the contest winners. For the last two years, the Young Avengers of Avengers Academy have won the tournament, donating the majority of their winnings to charity.

But this year, things may be different. Excelsior, another Avengers Academy team, have assembled with the goal of winning the tournament. All they need to do is pass the qualifying round and then they'll be entered into the tournament, held at the Future Foundation Arena, where they will fight the best young superhero teams from across the world.

When Excelsior is approached by a young inventor who promises to help train them in the weaknesses of their opponents, is it too good to be true? Can they trust Edward Acra? They're just students - what could possibly go wrong, right?

Our World

In this RP, we consider the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies up to and including the first Avengers film to be cannon. There are roleplays that have happened in this timeline as well, forming our own Roleplay Universe (please click here to see the full in depth lore guide for our multiverse).



Below are stats on some superhero academies and superhero teams - obviously, this list is not exhaustive. Come 2038, there are tons of teams and schools all across the globe. The ones that I've listed here are ones that have been established in the comics; but please do imagine that there are many more, definitely outside of the US.


As this is a school setting, you will have classes that your characters attend. The school works on an alternating day schedule, where half of the week students focus on superheroics (i.e., classes on how to use their powers, strategy, teamwork, alien languages, how to triage survivors, and so forth), and the other half of the week students focus on traditional education (i.e., math, science, literature, theater, and so forth).

There are no general education requirements at the Margaret Carter Institute beginning at the high school level. The high school entrance exam assesses students in a variety of subjects, ensuring that the basics are mastered, before students go onto specialty education. The Academy operates on a quarter system, and some classes do have pre-reqs, which can be met by either taking further placement exams or taking classes at the Academy.

In your CS submission, put down your thoughts/ideas for a suggested course load. The GM will then contact you with your official classes shortly before the start of the game, so that way people will have classes in common.

Lastly, by popular demand, we will have uniforms at the academy! The uniforms are basically a rip-off of the Umbrella Academy uniform, only with a stylized Avengers A rather than the umbrella on the crest. The color of the uniform's trim will match what dorm your character has been assigned to (each dorm will have a faculty member in charge, who acts as your guardian while at school). Students are required to wear their uniforms Monday through Thursday, with Fridays being free dress days.

Rules
*Rules are enforced and you will be removed if you break them.
  • Applications:
    • Post the CS in the OOC for review.
    • Change the color code to a unique one (i.e. not in use by a current character). Please try to avoid colors that are very similar to the eye as well.
    • Choose a faceclaim for your character that is not currently in use - if you're not sure if someone is using that FC, ask the GM.
    • The GM can refuse a concept for any reason, yet will generally work with you to fix up the character until they can be accepted.
    • Talk to the GM if you want your character to have established connections (i.e. if this were a Percy Jackson RP and you wanted to be Percy's goddaughter, talk to the GM in advance for approval).
    • GM approved character sheets should be posted in a hider in the Char tab.
    • The GM will check posting history / previous RPs - you've been warned.
    • Once CS's are approved, relation sheet will go up and must be completed and added to CS
    • Under Extras in your CS please post a link to a post you have done in the past to show you have read the rules. If You submit a CS without this it may be declined.
    • Special - To New Comers To The Guild - Pm The Gm for a tid bit to add under extras instead
  • Post Content
    • No use of racial slurs in posts. Sure, you may be playing a racist white guy from the 1950s, so just use asterisks - you'll convey the same idea.
    • Nudity needs to be run by the GM before posting. In general, this is PG-13 when it comes to romance, sexual interactions, exposure, and so forth... Violence wise, anything goes. This can get gross.
    • Fade to black for things that verge into the area of smut/other taboo subjects. Seriously. Your post will be deleted otherwise.
    • The world and NPCs and events are controlled by the GM. If the GM says it's raining, then it's raining. Results will be randomized per dice mechanics.
  • Posting & General Behavior
    • Follow all of the rules of the forum - they're the law of the land.
    • If you need an extension or you're struggling - or even if you just aren't certain what to do - please reach out to the GM! Communication is key.
    • All posts are backed up on the back up forum after they have been posted - the GM will provide the link for this forum. It only takes a few seconds and it ensures all your hard work is preserved!
    • You must post once every 7 days - once your last post on RPG reads as 8 days ago you will be removed from the RP.
    • If you need an extension, ask!! If an emergency comes up on day 7, of course come and talk to us - we'll be more than happy to work something out. It's very rare that an extension request is denied.
    • You may NOT copy and paste something from someone else's post and add it to your own. This includes dialogue.
    • Minimal 2 posts between your last
    • No editing posts without GM approval.
    • Each post should include two well developed paragraphs (please don't make me define how many sentences are in a paragraph. If they're long sentences, then sure 5 is fine - if they're shorter, maybe 15 is best).
    • Read all posts! Seriously, people are reading yours so spread the love and read theirs!
    • No tagging for interactions in your post - people use this as a crutch usually to get away with not reading everything.
  • Other:
    • Character deaths will happen, no one is safe - it will be randomized and you will be notified when your death approaches. (This does not mean you are out of the RP, it will mean however you need to make a new character should you wish to continue.)
    • The GM reserves the right to make decisions as to how much additional time, if any, will be granted to post if the forum is glitching. A week to post is plenty of time even if the forum glitches a day or two. But usually, I do tend to be pretty generous about it...
    • Rules and character sheet will be added to and changed as need be depending on problems or points that come up.
    • Under Extras in the CS also mention your favorite Marvel TEEN character so I know you at least skimmed this...
    • Check the discord chat every few days. Invite will be provided by the GM.


Character and Relations Sheets

Please read through the instructions for this character sheet carefully. There are some sections that have special instructions and will depend on the type of character you are making.


You will record your thoughts and opinions on other characters. There are no PC relationship requirements to begin with, however it is likely that some of your characters grew up seeing each other fairly often and/or that they've been classmates at the Academy for a while.

If you are playing a legacy, you are required to include a relation for their parent/relative - (i.e., if Guin Stark were in this RP, she would need to have a relation section for Tony).



The code below only applies to magic-users:

I'm interested in this and the Abandoned Hope universe. I've just submitted a character sheet for X-Men Cosmic Crusades, but I would mind joining this as well.

This looks interesting too! Dang....I am in a decent amount of RPs and now I don't know if I want to join this, or Blue's. If I had to pick I am leaning more towards this as it is a new one whereas Blue's (though incredible and respectable) seems to be long-standing and, if I am being honest, I am somewhat intimidated in joining an RP that has been going on for a bit.

I am keeping an eye on this, for sure though.

Hello there. This looks promising, but I've got a couple of questions:

- How much of the expanded lore would I need to catch up on? Or will the canon MCU stuff be enough to understand?
- Would you be open to 'Ultron done right better' kind of character, or should I write it more as just a regular armor person? (Have examples to show of how I done the former)

I can wait on the discord for know. But I do have an idea for a character idea if you would like to hear. Basically he’s the illegitimate son of a god (I haven’t decided on which one), who ended up on Earth, specifically Canada, as an orphan. He would then be adopted from an orphanage for kids with superpowers by the hero Northstar and his husband. As he got older his parents realized that he would need help mastering his powers, and since there was no hero school in Canada, he would be sent to Avengers Academy.

@PatientBean No worries fam! :) If it sways your opinion at all, this RP is going to be more school centric than Blue's X-Men RP. The characters are teenagers here, whereas in X-Men they're in their 20s. The X-Men also are more established superheroes and have fought some huge villains, whereas these kids are brand new.

@Forsythe Hey there! You basically don't need to know any lore - anything that is important will be explained in one of my IC posts. The basic vibe of the setting for this RP is that we're in the near future, there's now tons of schools for superheroes, and the Avengers have gone global. Anything more specific than that, you honestly don't need to know. Canon MCU stuff should be enough to get you by, and I'll let you know if anything needs a tweak!

I'm fine with you doing a robot sort of character! :)

@Martian Oh I love Northstar! He and Kyle just adopted a kid in the comics together too, it was very sweet. I chatted with my co-GM and we like the concept, but think that it could be simplified - i.e., either he's the adopted kid of Northstar & Kyle and he has powers, or he is a demigod kid of a god.

@Morose
I have a new version of the character idea. Basically he would be a twist on the whole Changeling myth, where a human child is replaced with a monster to be raised by humans. But in this case the monster would be a Dire Wraith, a shape shifting alien. The infant Wraith would be sent to Earth to grow up into a world leader, but something went wrong and he had no memory of being a Dire Wraith. He would be brought up in a home for super powered orphans, my character would be believed to be a mutant. He would then be adopted by Northstar and his husband, before training at Avengers Academy.

But if the Northstar adoption idea doesn’t work, I did come up with original parents for my character.

I think I'll apply to this one. I kind of like the idea of the school aspect with young heroes. I should have a sheet up sometime this week.

@Martian I think for me, it feels somewhat like two different concepts? Like, I think the dire wraith changeling idea is cool, but I don't see the reason why that kid should be adopted by Kyle and JP. (So sorry this is being a bit pedantic) - I think if you want a kid of Kyle and JP, then they can be a mutant - or if you want the dire wraith or the demigod, then they shouldn't have Kyle + JP as parents.

@PatientBean Cool, we're excited to have you!

@Nallore Will look them over after work!

WIP so far.
- I really don't like to use faceclaims. Too restrictive/impossible to find a fit for what you have in mind. Did the best I could with googling random images.
- Stark family. Let me know if it is a nogo.
- Had to kinda expand the power section of the sheet because robot.
- Used Abbr tags in some places to indicate the truth behind the coverup persona. They don't work for mobile but I don't have a better idea on how to do this without making the sheet cluttered.
- To be done: History -> Personality.

@Forsythe Looked at this quickly, and I think the main sticking point here does come down to the Stark Family connection. I think with the conceit that she's a better Ultron, that she was a robot made by a famous genius, that she'd be better suited for the Pyms. (We follow the comics lore more closely here with Ultron, having him be made by Henry Pym). (Another note on the Stark thing - we have a pre-existing character in this RP'verse who is Tony's kid, so by this RP Tony has grandchildren, so I think the lone legacy of Stark I don't think would work as effectively for Antonia as it might have otherwise).

For the faceclaim - if you can only find one image you like that's good enough! Can even be a drawing.

Fair point. I am not that familiar with the Pym family (mostly Henry as he is portrayed in the Avengers academy comic), but I know a bit about the comic Ultron, I think I can work with the comic lore well enough. The original iteration of this character was based on Ultron-15 aafter all :) (And Sentinels and looking at the mostly mutant lineup... Fun times ahead when that bubble bursts :D)

Anything in the expanded lore worth mentioning? Would she have any existing Pym sibs etc.?

@Forsythe No worries! I'm not a Pym family expert either lol. The Pym family lore pretty much matches the MCU, with the exception that we restored Pym as Ultron's creator. So Pym has a kid, Hope, and she's in a relationship with Scott Lang who has a daughter, Cassie (Cassie will be an NPC in AA). So if anything, she has something akin to a niece. Janet is around, was rescued from the quantum realm. We did a soft redo of his motivations for making Ultron, where in the lore, he makes Ultron to try to make something that could travel to the quantum realm and retrieve Janet (+ some other PCs who had gotten trapped there).

TLDR - Pym has his MCU family, he made Ultron to rescue Janet from the Quantum Realm and it backfired on him.

EDIT - He also basically made Vision in this reality as well, since the Age of Ultron was done with the time travel nonsense following comics lore rather than movie lore. So Vision would be a sibling.

@Nallore let me know when you've made these edits and I'll confirm it looks good

Diana -
  • Age is off - she would be 16 at the start of the RP, and have her 17th birthday coming up in a month or so
  • Coursework needs to go in the correct spot of the CS - should be in between Combat Skills and Medical Issues/Injuries
  • Under family, her brother's surname is actually Novikov (Novikova is the feminine surname, he takes the masculine one)
  • Character quote?


Mads -
  • Age is off - she would be 15 at the start of the RP, going on 16 that November.
  • Does Mads not carry a backpack or a purse with her? It's fine if she doesn't, just odd that she shows up w/ nothing to class lol
  • In the history, you don't really answer how she discovered her powers? Like, you give the age and how it's normal in the family, but don't really describe it beyond that
  • Grimoire looks good to me!


@Trainerblue192 let me know when you've made these edits and I'll confirm it looks good

Dorian -
  • Missing pronouns - should be listed between Birth Place & Gender
  • I think knowing all 4 of those languages is a lot, so I'd like for you to remove one - he can always learn a new language in the future. Maybe remove Sanskrit and change the 3 years of Sanskrit skill to say 'basic Sanskrit' - or you could do something similar with Latin. Or change the Korean to be a skill for purely conversational Korean? Idk. But something lol.
  • Can you add descriptions on what Tag You're It and Peek A Boo mean?
  • Anything in his backpack?
  • The magic sword - what does it... do? lol
  • Maybe give him more stuff for Twitch Streaming equipment wise? You've got tons of room to put things in his dorm room!
  • Theme song was switched over to Favorite Song, so if that's the same then just replace the label - if not, what's his favorite song?


@Achronum
Danny - these are basically all suggestions / minor things, so once you make any edits, go ahead and move him over!

  • This doesn't even really need an edit, but basically bc of his birthday, for him to be the same grade as Dorian it means that Casper and James waited a little longer to put him into school (i.e., his July birthday meant he could've been a grade above Dorian, making him a senior, but it's not unusual for parents to decide to have their July kiddo get an extra year at home before starting to help them be ready / more mature). And like, it makes sense to me that James and Casper would do that lol.
  • Could you put a description of Tag You're It next to the skill?
  • Has he been diagnosed with ADHD? If so, does he have ADHD meds on him / in his dorm?
  • No need to make an edit here, but maybe he has some kitchen supplies in his dorm room - like an illegal toaster oven or something :P
