Mister Negative usually ends up playing a key role in Cindy's storyline for me. That and a slight lean towards Asian American influences with immigration so I'd want to know exactly what that country is.
I will point out @rocketrobie2 is looking at a potential Spidey sheet.

It's basically just Vietnam 2 and I only asked for the country and its war to be included in the timeline so we could have a definitive recent war for characters with military backgrounds like Moon Knight and the Punisher to have fought in. The Marvel wiki would have better info on the details than I or even any of the GM team probably would.

Oh.
It is actually a place in Marvel comics. I thought it was invented for this.
Hmm okay. That isn't too new to what I know. I might be able to come up with a good idea for a storyline for Silk.

If I could be frank, I'd love to see you do something different from Silk. I feel like I've seen you do Silk in the last couple of iterations of this style of RP.
That said, if your heart is set on Silk, I won't stop you from pursuing her.

I miiight have had an idea or two before. Ideas that I read up on so could maybe do them justice. Back around Halloween, I did want to do something that was a little more mystical horror in nature. Change up the writing.
I'll think about it. Read what everyone else is doing. Get my bearings a little.

Its always good to push yourself as a writer, and try something new. Sometimes it helps your creative juices too.
Amazing intro post! It’s absolutely dripping with atmosphere, from their less than ideal shelter, to Wanda’s mixed feelings over Pietro’s methods of keeping them fed and her worry over his well-being, you do a great job at conveying their desperate circumstances — the Serbian was a lovely touch in that sense, a subtle reminder of just how far away from home they really are. I really enjoyed the way you portrayed magic through the candle, both as a representation of Wanda’s struggle to control her power as well as a demonstration of the immensity of Strange’s own. Speaking of which, the promise of Strange potentially acting as a mentor for Wanda has me positively giddy. I love your voice for him, and the idea of a seasoned sorcerer like himself acting as a mentor (or at the very least a guiding hand) for a desperate soul just looking to survive is the kind of dynamic engaging stories are made of. I can’t wait to see more of Wanda’s journey.
Smallville’s influence shows in a big way in Superman #3 and I love it. The decision to give Clark two siblings is an interesting one to me, especially Ryan, who was always one of my favourite show-original characters — he seemed like someone Clark could relate to, not just as an older brother but as someone who shared in Clark’s experiences as an outsider with strange abilities. Which is why it was a nice surprise seeing the inverse of that dynamic through Jessica, who has no powers but seeks comfort through her and Clark’s shared experiences with Kryptonite-infected people and more importantly, fear. Ma and Pa Kent’s interactions also felt very reminiscent of their Smallville selves, probably my favourite adaptation of the two in which they feel the most like complex, well-rounded characters in their own right. My preference for Superman tends to lean pre-Crisis, in which he’s an orphan twice over and grappling with the loneliness that comes with it — but this family dynamic you’ve set up is so rich with potential not just for Clark, but every other Kent, that I’m very excited to see where you might take it.
As for Superman #4, once again I love the bits of Kryptonian worldbuilding you revealed. The genophage is a really cool touch that I don’t think I’ve ever seen before — the idea of Rao forcefully turning red and the Kryptonians losing their abilities via deliberate devolution is an incredibly fun and novel take. Jor and Zor-El’s conversation was touching, loved what it revealed not only about the Superman suit’s functions, but their family dynamic as well. Volcana’s circumstances were heart-wrenching, and I for one can’t wait to see Clark butt heads with the Luthors, the DEO and ARGUS, as I’m sure that whatever plans they may have for metahumans, they can’t bode well for anyone.
Hooo boy. What can I say, I’m a sucker for this kind of setting — hell, this kind of premise in general. The House is the type of place that lights my imagination on fire, a special kind of horror that twists the familiar into something foreboding and uncanny and wrong. With every post this premise has me wondering exactly how John plans to get himself out of this one. For a guy without magic he sure does seem to have a knack for getting himself into situations where it’d be nice to have. His and Astra’s dynamic is a refreshing flip after volume one’s heavier, baggage-laden exploration of John and Chas’ friendship. Their banter is a treat, and John’s exasperation over dealing with a fourteen year-old’s fourteen year-olding was delightful. The ending was a pitch-perfect cliffhanger, I can’t wait to see where you take them on this timeloop journey and how your planned crossovers will fit into it all.
Pretty fitting that, brief romantic fantasy aside, our first Iron Fist post opens with a punch. Danny seems to have been dealt a bad hand both literally and metaphorically at the onset of this story, reeling from grief and rage, his power stolen and blood on his mind. His anger is palpable as the fight unfolds, every strike a release, Misty trying in vain to speak some reason into him. Danny feels like he’s at his lowest point here, and I’m curious to see how he’ll climb back up — you’ve left me wondering about his relationship to Orson and what it was that’s tipped him into such intense grief after his death, as well as what exactly Shiva means to him, a romantic connection that I didn’t expect. Hope to see more of what I imagine will be a bloody revenge quest against Davos, and I’m keen to see Danny and RPing rookie John Table’s Luke interact!
Wait a minute. I swear I just did one of these for you. I think this might be my favourite Emma post so far; the way you use perspective in a meta sense to represent the shift in Carl’s dreamspace as he unanchors himself from the narrative was so well done. The abstract description of this mental plane was so disorienting, but still brimming with clarity — while unfamiliar concepts to the reader, it’s clear that you’ve thought this all through, and for such an abstract power as telepathy it’s gratifying to see it defined so creatively. And once again, Emma’s characterisation shines through, imposing herself onto a young mutant’s dream because she saw the opportunity for a teachable moment and took it, only his best interests mind. For the children, always. Gimme more! More!!!
First chance in a bit to actually try writing something today! Gonna have a lot more time in the next couple days so hopefully I'll have a CS put together here soon! (Also gotta catch up on all the posts... SO far behind)
Gonna make a nicer Banner when I have some time but there’s a CS for ya, gonna get started on post numero uno/catch up on the reading/ celebrate Christmas
What the hell?! That was so cool. I loved the imagery, and the overall idea of the train was so inspired and I loved the way you created the mythology behind it. I really felt like I was watching a movie for this, it was so very visual and the first person narration really centered everything for me to feel so involved and present there. I enjoyed the POV swap, and seeing how Vigilante and Blade perceive each other and already they feel so lived in in the way that you write them. Looking forward to more of this.
I am vampire obsessed so this was just a complete delight to read and tonally different to the other stories going on in AOC. The living carriage was fucking disgusting and I loved it.
More Wanda posts please! Another really enjoyable entry to your Scarlet Witch, I love the bond of the twins and liked your choice to play out what happened through their debriefing of it. Pietro is a great voice of reason against Wanda's more intuitive and heart based guidance. I'm so excited to see where you take them and how you will unpack their past with Sinister especially as I have pieces on that same board too.... I am just stoked to see this Scarlet Witch :D
>Clark soared free from the prying eyes of the media, otherwise known as his coworkers.
He feels so fleshed out already, and I enjoy reading a character who us just so morally good. His doubts over whether he did the right thing with Volcana make him so compelling and I look forward to how you continue to unpack this and hoping I can get some collab action with you on this, if not with Emma then a member of the Mutant Council for sure. The Mutants having an ally in Superman is such a boon to them. Of course it wouldn't be a Wraith post without a sexy redhead also, I like Lisa a lot :D
TWO BRUCE POSTS MERRY CHRISTMAS TO MEEEE. Ross was such an ass to Bruce and Rick first of all lol! Bruce surviving what he survived. Ross "You're a mess". I'm so curious about Rick, and I really liked that Bruce still looked out for him and wanted to keep him close. Very curious about Tala as well as I don't know a lot about her but she seems like trouble and I liked the way you described and introduced her. With the second one, Betty really stole the show for me and learning more about her and her history with Bruce was a great glimpse at what is to come. AND THEY KISSED!
A literal Christmas post! Welcome to the RP first of all and what a great post. I find the banter between all of the characters involved in the con really amusing which builds to the rapport they have and their starting point in the RP too. It was just funny and refreshing; I also have no idea who this character is, so I'm looking forward to you playing out your goals for him as a villain to hero - I am keen to see what happens with the score from this truck. It's feeling like a strong origin story so far.
This interaction in particular made me lol
> “I’m sweating like a wh- lady of the evening in a church wearing all this. Sorry Pierre.”
“No worries Henry, just glad you caught yourself. Shelia’s actually the show stopper now. Roll her out when they got big money comin-“
“What’s it matter if he says the ‘W’ word anyway? Shelia’s a stripper not a lady of the evening.” Roger interjected, beginning to strip out of his Santa costume.
Ahhh you called back. Loved the opener and the I Am Hopeful section especially. I like my heroes hopeful and I like me heroes heroic which she really is in the sequence with Jackie where she saves her life. I love that she is bold and speaks with the authority she has, and the continuous hatred/confusion over the mortal weapons and also THORS AAAAAXE. (I had to copy and paste that to read it haha)
Like we already said, the references to other characters through the artifacts is so clever and I got a kick from reading it. I wonder if there is any meaning to it? Or just a fun Easter egg. Can they be used perhaps to bring characters in to the House? I think you are very deliberate in how you write so I'd expect it to have something meaningful behind it. Who knows really but I'm keen to read more of Hellblazer. Your prose is really powerful here in the way that it builds confusion of the time and space and I thought the last paragraph with the words pecked out was just so fucking cool. Urgh. I wish I thought of that!!
