This is reasonable. However I would still like to keep the number of members around four, so I think I'll poach some members of the Inhuman Royal Family (House of Agon), since I don't think they're that popular, and although they were former enemies of the FF, they soon became allies afterwards and collaborated often. Let me know if this is acceptable.


Yeah that would be a better fit for this

Ok. I did just come up with another idea, since the FF building is in New York, they might interact with New York heroes quite often. That being the case, Luke Cage has a power set similar to The Thing, so I think it might be a good fit to recruit him as an FF member. Let me know if this is acceptable, if not I'll go back to looking for an Inhuman to fill the spot.

Again, Luke Cage is a pretty well established character in his own right so I'm going to have to veto that like She Hulk and Kamala. If the goal is just to have a character with a similar powerset to The Thing, I would think that the easiest choice would be to just use The Thing. I'm not entirely sure what these changes really bring to the story beyond power sets.

Feel free to correct me here, but from the outside looking in, it does kind of seem as though things are being changed for the sake of change, which isn't really the kind of thing I'm looking for here. Like there are a lot of very sweeping changes to the lore in this concept, which isn't bad in and of itself, but there doesn't seem to be much in the way of justification for why beyond some aesthetic factors.

I reserve judgement until a formal application's infront of me, but just food for thought.

@ErsatzEmpress I don't know exactly what your plans for Senator Kelly are, but i was thinking of maybe Norman working with him behind the scenes. Alternatively, i'm good with Norman just playing to the masses in an attempt to garner votes and their Anti-Mutant rhetoric's being unrelated.

Kelly is actually gearing up ready for a second shot at the republican nomination for the 2024 election so there'd definitely be at least an unspoken sense of rivalry there. In the meantime though could definitely see him making use of Osborn as long as their interests are alignned.

Seeing as this has long since passed the 48 hour competition period without challenge, Doctor Strange is



...and also accepted.

Feel free to move your CS to the char tab and post in the IC when your ready. Sorry for missing it under everything

@ErsatzEmpress would you mind if the scenario between Kelly and Norman is an agreement that both of them will run and whoever fails at the presidential nomination will be the others running mate in order to get the Mutant Registration act pushed through?

In Kelly's Mind: "I'll use Norman's resources and public sympathy to my advantage, but he's not a politician, he has no idea how to navigate MY battlefield. There's no way someone who has never even held a public office will get elected President. Then i can get a leash around those damn mutants and deal with them at my leisure."
In Norman's Mind: "Kelly has the connections in the political world that i can exploit and abuse to my own benefit to get where i need to be. He's just a regular human being, no match for my superior intellect. And if he gives me any problems? Well, one "Rogue, unnamed mutant" can quickly make him a Martyr for my cause. Once i'm President and this Mutant Registration thing is through, Parker will have no choice but to come out as Spider-Man or give up wall-crawling for good. Either way, a few bribes here and there and before you know it, Parker Industries is gone and Parker will have no choice but to send Normie to live with me, then i can take my time crushing him like the bug he is."

No, you're right. I should just focus on the primary difference and catalyst for change, "what if the Fantastic Four didn't have a Mr. Fantastic?" My initial thought was that The Thing really always wanted to be cured, and despite Reed's best scientific efforts, Ben Grimm always remained The Thing. I thought that if Doom aided the FF instead of fighting them, he could provide a solution with magic, but I should consider the fact that Reed is considered the "smartest man on Earth", so a solution to The Thing's problem should not be trivial, even via magic, so I'll keep The Thing in the roster and supplement with one of the inhumans more closely tied to the FF lore like I originally planned. Thanks for regulating and keeping my "what if" ideas from running too wild.

My next post will probably be the application (finally), though I am currently traveling and will probably not get the sheet completed for maybe a week or two.

Sounds good to me, thanks for taking all that onboard. Enjoy the rest of your travelling!

@ErsatzEmpress I’m dealing with serious IRL shit at the moment right now which is why I’m rescinding my position for Doctor Strange after one post. I know this is sudden but I cannot delve into another one of these comic book RPs at the moment.

No worries, thanks for letting me know. IRL always comes first, I hope everything sorts out for you. If things change you'll be more than welcome back

My next one is in the oven, unlikely to be done today as will be celebrating my sister's birthday with her later, so I'd say ETA tomorrow!

Hey everybody, how's things? Is this thread still open for late joiners? I was thinking of writing one of a few characters, Punisher, Daredevil, Ghost Rider(s), or Hulk. Hopefully none of them steps on any toes

Hiya,

Yeah, always open for applications! Any of those characters would be more than welcome.
