In the 90's the premiere superheroes were the Alliance. Sanctioned and funded by the United Nations the team was comprised of a humanoid cat-man from England named Leopold, a giant of a man called Megaplex, the armored Lady Liberty, as well as others. The times though... they're always changing. The Alliance had fallen apart in recent years. Constantly rotating new heroes in and out of the group, scandal with foreign organizations, and corruption when it came to the oversight from the UN eventually lead to the dissolution of the group. And then Lady Liberty was found dead due to mysterious circumstances while in her civilian identity.
Liberty City is a city of adventure and intrigue on the Atlantic Coast of North Carolina. It's design is reminiscent of a compacted NYC, however instead of five boroughs it only has four. It is home to several superhuman individuals and is formerly the home of the super-team the Amazings, as well as the recently deceased Lady Liberty.
* Liberty City is taken from the GTA series and has been slightly altered here and there for this RP.
* Rather than a Liberty statue with a coffee in her hand, the statue will resemble the male Colossus of Rhodes.
* Like Marvel's NYC, Liberty City will have several superheroes and villains operating there regularly that often interact with each other.
* The Amazings were an off-shoot of the Fantastic Four. They operated in the city from 2009 - 2022. Mister Amazing, Amazing Jane, Judy Juggernaut, Firecracker, and Kid Cosmo made up the team.

We lost a couple players the last couple months so we're looking for a few good people!! The general idea is to build a universe similar to how Invincible is mostly inspired by DC, we're just gonna loosely base this universe on Marvel. The RP will include heroic crossovers, fights between heroes, and team-ups leading into the eventual founding of a super team (the New Alliance) within the game. Now, that isn't saying you HAVE to join the super team. Originally in the comics the Hulk only joined the Avengers long enough to take down Loki. When looking at the building blocks of a more connected universe I look to movies and comic story lines like James Gunn's Superman, Civil War, the Avengers, Justice League War [the animated retelling of the new52 JL origin], Hulk vs. the Thing, Underworld Unleashed, etc. There are a lot of teams and concepts involved, but not everyone's characters will be team players or want to be. And I get that. There will always be the option to have a 'Wildcard' which is exactly what it sounds like. Can be anything and not even based on an existing archetype. Maybe you wanna create something of an amalgam of Hawkman and the Punisher and toss into the game as a vigilante w/superpowers? That can still happen.
REMEMBER!!! Characters don't have to be note for note knock-offs of existing characters. My Liberty Son is about as different from Capt. America as he can be. My guy is patriotic and has a weapon, that's about where the similarities end.
We're currently wrapping up a chapter so it's a good jumping on point for any new players. I've got more time to RP than usual this next week so I should be quick to respond to anyone with questions or ideas they need help fleshing out. So far we've got a solid cast of six with two players using villains and keeping things interesting. Come check us out!!
