Let's. Get. Dangerous.
Ever since I saw this image of a revamped forgotten character from Marvel's past I thought about a story adapted from Darkwing Duck just with humans instead of anthropomorphic animals....
So the general idea isn't note for note redoing Darkwing just with humans, cause doing comedy sitcom type stuff isn't really my jam. In my head I imagine this is the darker themed pulp character that the duck version would've been the parody of. Batman is to Batduck as Darkwing is to Darkwing Duck. A pulp themed hero in purple. A fearless young pilot. A young girl in need of a new home. His rogues gallery that's on par with Batman and Spider-Man... IDK why Disney hasn't done more with this concept?!
A human form of Launchpad could be comedic sure, but maybe Launchpad is more daring like Race Bannon and less comic relief in this? Slight alterations here and there are perfectly fine. After watching tons of stuff from behind the scenes there were even a couple more of the badguys that would've switched sides, Bushroot being the big one. Anyway here's a handful of characters I'd hope to fill out in the RP. The idea is I'd take Darkwing to set the tone. Anyway the cast, name changes (if they're duck or animal themed), and images if I've found anything good for reference.
So yeah... I know... it's SUPER niche. I'd be doing good if I could find a handful of DW fans. HOWEVER... I can totally make an RP with just another four or five peeps. I left a ton of the characters out, and the story we roll with will be based on what we get in terms of cast. There's a ton of potential in the concept, and if I can manage to pull this off I'd love to give another RP a try with something like Tale Spin with humans rather than animals.
And that's the bare bones of it. A few pictures gave me the idea to run with the idea finally. Lately I'm just feeling nostalgic and I have a huge love for pulp characters like the Shadow, Doc Savage, and the Green Hornet. I even threw a couple spots in the cast for original characters to spice things up a bit more. If enough people are game I'll throw a CS template together and post it and we can get to work developing the rest of the RP!
