[OOC] CLOSED - Ultimate One Universe: Season One

[Retired]

Hey guys how do you calculate @Retired's post count? Don't you fucking worry, he'll break his neck to tell you himself.

@Byrd Man

Just wait until I hit double digits. I'll throw a party.

@Retired

I'm sure you're almost in four digit territory if you include OOC.

[Enarr]

Ah, it seems like just yesterday we were at 217 IC posts.

[Retired]

I had, like, 40-60 posts total on this account prior to joining this game.
I also had less than ten total ratings and now I have:

Rating Received Given

...someone who's put out four posts over the course of a month...

Yo just figured I'd give you folks a heads up that I just had surgery. This shouldn't effect my posting schedule too much long as I recover in time, but just in case I figured I'd inform you.

Also I'm of the opinion that having only one character creates better focused stories. More than one and you are just splitting your head up too much.

[Master Bruce]

@Eddie Brock

Well, no one ever said the star-spangled man with a plan's actual plan was to post consistantly...

(Seriously, though, your Cap has been great. Be a shame to see you drop him, though if it's for Catwoman, well... who the hell is Cap?)

@Hexaflexagon

Did you get a third arm? Because if-so, that would be cool as fuck.

Oh, shit. Take your time, no worries. Wasn't anything too serious, I hope?

Nah it was an old hockey injury coming back to bite me lol. Got hit in the face with a puck. That made a tooth grow into my jaw instead of my mouth apparently lol. It got really badly infected so they had to cut my jaw open to get it out.

@Hexaflexagon

Yikes. Having had an abcess for an ingrown tooth that had to be pulled, I sorta know what that's like. The pain of such an infection is the fucking worst. Glad it got treated.

The idea of taking over someone else's character does have a sort of appeal. Kind of like how Byrd did it a few times back in the Hype days or when Eddie took over for Master Bruce. But yeah, I'll probably swap out Bekka to play something else when the time comes. When Season 2 happens I will have a LOT to consider, but as Eddie says I want to explore the options in the sandbox.

@Master Bruce

To be honest, your curveball with Selina in the last post threw me for a loop, and I'm not sure I'd be able to carry on (what seems to be) your vision for her. In other words:

PADME: You're going down a path I can't follow!

(But I'm excited to watch it develop.)

@Eddie Brock

I like it, but it also reminds me of Ultimate One Universe: Genesis where I played Helena for three or four posts before the game itself poofed. The song of missed opportunities. God damn it's such a good arc I want to donate to a patreon for more.

NO STAR WARS! ONLY PEACE AND PROSPERITY!

Random Inebriated Thought:

What player characters in the RP would you consider taking up if the player took a leave of absence to try something new? How would you build off the current season's dynamic, setup, and concept? What character would you be most interested in helping grow in a collaborative fashion?

[Master Bruce]

To the surprise of no one, I'm attached at the hip to Batman, so there'll be no character swapping from me.

My Daredevil concept was that Fisk took Matt in and oversaw his training directly with The Hand until Daredevil became Fisk's own personal enforcer and turning Murdock into his own private attorney, making him more of an anti-hero character with designs on overthrowing The Kingpin when the time was right. Heavily inspired by the Shadowland/Spider-Gwen stuff, with a bit of a master and apprentice angle going on. I just really love the idea of making Murdock more morally ambiguous, given the many runs on the character that have flirted with the idea but never gone full-tilt - with the exception of a single run that took a promising portrayal and fucked it at the last minute by making all of it a case of demon posession.

There. Now that I've spoiled the concept, I can exorcise the desire to play it out.

@Master Bruce

Thanks, mate, you solved my "What to play next season?" problem!

[AndyC]

While we're on the subject of purging the sinister urge to play secondaries, apart from the Mr. Robot Question and Heavy Metal Ghost Rider, the other thing I always keep wanting to do but never quite managing to pull off is do Raven and Starfire as a buddy-cop comedy sort of thing. Seems like it should be the perfect fit for that formula, right? One's a happy-go-lucky beautiful alien princess, and the other is the Anti-Christ, what sort of wacky situations will they get into next? But the one time I tried it, I never got past one or two posts, and then most of the other games I've played since then it's never caught my attention enough to be more than just a secondary.

[Eddie Brock]

My white whale idea that likely won't come to pass, even with my admission that I'll probably try other characters, is still Carol Danvers, Green Lantern. One of y'all -- or a Hypester -- once just threw out the idea that Hal Jordan was Carol's wingman who perished on a mission, and so Carol's whole arc would be learning to overcome her fear and PTSD from that incident and becoming Green Lantern. It'd even explain how she could end up with NASA (taking a cushy desk job over anything remotely dangerous) and meeting Phillip Lawson aka Mar-Vell aka the Green Lantern of Sector 2814.
