Hi, all. I'm ErsatzEmpress and I'm excited to be unveil a new Marvel roleplay project: Marvel - RE: Imagine.
This will be a sandbox style roleplay, based in a reimagined Marvel Universe. Players will be able to choose and apply for any character appearing in Marvel's 80+ year history, letting you put your own stamp on the canon characters we love and tell the stories you want to be told. We are not beholden to any events from the canon, but instead will dictate the history of this Marvel Universe!

F I N A L W O R D:
As with many of us, the Marvel Universe holds a very special place in my heart. I want to be able to put a fun stamp on it, and take as many of you on the journey with me as I can. If I get a few declared interests below I'll draw up an OOC and see where we go from there. I look forward to hearing what you all think:
