I was curious if anyone wanted to start a roleplay involving the Avengers plus any other superheros you would prefer. Gimme a bump if you have any ideas or wanna do this.
Plus I was wondering if anyone thought it would be crazy to add characters from completely different genres, such as Lord of the Rings/the Hobbit, or even Doctor Who. Hoping for some posts. :)

First off: That little boy was creepier than any other villain or species in the entire Whoniverse!

That said, My idea would be a new avengers protocol of all OC's or else each avenger goes looking for an apprentice.

Haha the Empty Child is definitely the creepiest. Interesting idea. I guess we'll see if anyone else wants to join.

I would be interested depending on if we are going with OCs or not.

I'd be interested... Primarily if we are allowed re-imaginings of canon characters.

I'd be interested if we're going for OC's

I'm interested either way.

I prefer to have OCs but I can stand to play a re-imagined marvel superhero (I call Hercules if so.)

May be interested depending on plot and if you do not try mixing in LotR or Doctor Who.

Like a Young Avengers kinda sorta thing?

I think the re-imagined canon characters sounds good, plus oc's. Dang. No-one liked my crossover ideas? I think if the integration were plausible it would work out.. but okay. DX nevermind...

It would depend on how you integrated them I think more then anything. I mean modern day and Lord of the Rings stuff is a bit of a far fetch on its own but shifting it so they mesh together I could live with.

I'm not inherently against crossovers but Marvel, LotR, and DW are terrible candidates just from their different rules alone. LotR is past centered, has medieval technology at best, magic is so rare it's almost non-existent, and other races are as populous as humans and live with them on the same planet. Marvel is present centered, has futuristic technology, magic is huge and game-breaking (seriously Doctor Strange could take on all the non-magical avengers at once and win), and humans dominate the planet with other races living only where humans cannot (Atlanteans, Moloids, etc.) DW is future centered, has far more advanced technology than even the most advanced race in Marvel, magic is just another form of science, and aliens walk amongst humans mostly in secret. LotR has a subtle guiding hand theology, Marvel has active and interfering gods and godlike entities, and DW has no god with the Doctor acting as a guiding hand instead. DW is all about technical pacifism with the solutions always being brains over violence. Marvel and LotR prefer combat with heroes.

Then there's the power creep issue. Like Archie meets the Punisher, crossovers get ridiculous when one side is clearly stronger than the other. The aforementioned story played it for laughs and it only lasted a single issue. Doctor Strange would kick Gandalf's ass without a second thought. Thor would wipe the floor with Aragorn. Anyone should technically beat the Doctor because he isn't a fighter but, chances are, he'd pull some trick out of his ass and defeat everyone up to and including the One-Above-All. No matter what, someone looks like a chump.

Maybe just crossing one over with the other. Definitely not all three. I also really don't think LotR would work with either of them. So Marvel/DW is theoretically possible but still highly unlikely. Even DW doesn't like alternate universes and the present shown on DW isn't anything like Marvel's.

Question though. By "reimagined canon characters," does that mean like an alternative universe? Like the ultimate universe? 'Cause I like that idea. Means less continuity to worry about.

Yeah I wasn't worrying about continuity that much. But wow. You have quite a brain there, sir. Or miss. I was thinking like alternate universes/different planet type things, but maybe I should leave this to the pros. And you're right. The Doctor would beat all. XD
