New York City, 2024.


Disgraced, in one way or another. That we all have in common here. This world is filled with scum that deserves to be removed from it. This city grows more and more cancerous cells by the day, and even worse still, fills with those who call themselves "Heroes". Again I say, we have been disgraced. We are the ones deserving of power. We are the ones deserving the fruits of our labors. We are the ones to be crowned rulers of this city. Of this world!

One last time I say, we have been disgraced. No longer, alone we have strove toward our goals in well placed faith and duty. Now, we will come together to complete our goals. Now, we shall become Ominous, a name to be feared in the night, and one of future rulers. Rise with me, as we take our rightful place!


After the infamous "snap", nothing had been the same. Though it had been reversed, not everyone was brought back in the same way. Some were different. Some didn't want to be back. Other's simply didn't return., lost on another timeline What was left afterward was a large power vacuum in the underground of New York City, and a flurry of heroes trying to deal with bigger things, all while lacking the direction of the infamous Avengers themselves. The City awaiting a new head to be appointed at the top of the undying snake that was this city. What was coming was exactly that. Crime was rampant and rules were no longer able to be enforced. New vigilantes and heroes took to the suit. And though it all, a band of veteran and newblood morally gray individuals with a lust for power, as well as outright villains, have come together to form the young band that will come to be known as Ominous. With fingers that potentially reach into massive reserves of resources through individually held criminal empires or unknowingly large companies, possibly to different worlds or dimensions, as well as individuals with powers that could scale to those same unknown heights, in this city they are a rabbid animal fighting to become top of the food chain.


This is an interest check for a Marvel roleplay from the perspective of a newly formed team of villains. Their goals will be different, but ultimately align within the same wide scope of wanting what they believe is theirs. This will have very dark tones, death/killing, substance abuse, evil plots, ECT. It will also be set within the MCU. if you've seen the individual Netflix Defenders' & Punsher series, those are a good kind of example.

I am interested in this as well. As for tone, I have vague memories of watching season one of Daredevil and Jessica Jones. But as it is set in the MCU as a whole, how crazy can we go with powers? A character idea I have is a part-Asgardian part-New Yorker with portal magic, who steals stuff across the nine realms and space, but is currently hiding out on Midgard in New York while some power is looking for him (maybe the Nova Corps). If that concept doesn't work, let me know and I can come up with something a little more grounded.

@Timemaster Fantastic! Let me know if there are any questions you have.

@Martian I've really been trying to decide this. I really love the power idea, and I don't think there's going to be a hard limit on the scope of powers.

That being said!!! I really think there being a variety is the way to go. I'd like to have some street levels and some planetaries, to allow for all kinds of plots. I'm honestly toying with the idea of having "Archetypes" to be filled, opposing the characters of Avengers/X-Men/(Insert Team Name). And that being said, yes there will be mutants involved, merging the newer X-Men movies with any comic book material that you'd like, though still overall being set in the MCU.

Sooo back to your question, If I were to make a list of different archetypical characters to be opposed, how would you feel about that?

Edit: Scrapping the archetype idea, I think.

Brainstorming a Wizard character that would have taken up the New York Sanctum after Dr Strange and some other Wizards were dusted.

I've got two idea at the moment for powers :

1. Aura-like power which would basically mean my character would be able to generate auras from herself with different effects.

2. Duplicate - she will be able to duplicate herself, each clone being able to duplicate as well and so on but as far as the clone would go from the original, so will the psyche will break and their resilience. To the point when the 10th clone could be destroyed simply by a papercut or something like that.

@Sanity43217 Sounds fantastic. I was thinking about a von Doom child, so sorcery abound. I believe he'll using magitech for the most part, though. Gene-coded, grown and modified by his father. Let me know what you think up!

@Timemaster Both could be super useful, depending on the aura effects and I've always loved clone abilities. Excited to see what you make.

@Shovel If you're not here to make a character that manipulates shovels, named "The Digger", get outta here. (Jk plz stay I need all the fantastic players I can get

I'm thinking that during the snap, a normal human who ends up developing a skillset similar to Magneto, being able to control magnetic fields to some extent, but uses it more creatively. Things like wearing plate armor so that he can vibrate it, allowing it as essentially kinetic dampening or using the fields to create static electricity.

@BreathOfTheWoof Sounds lovely! What exactly do you mean by "during the snap", though? How does he develop these abilities?

I noticed you said mutants exist, and the new movies will be considered canon in this role play.
I had an idea where MC would be a clone of Gambit. Maybe one of the kids from Logan. Not sure, still piecing it together.
He arrives in New York when he’s about sixteen. Without any real way to support himself, he starts busking. Doing “street magic” and card tricks to earn a couple bucks. His powers and general lack of wealth or a home, land him in with a rough crowd. A crowd that seem his powers and quick fingers useful. Working as a low level thief and street magician for a few years before the snap, and subsequently learning magic. Scanning most of the times and texts into his iPhone and stealing a magic tarot deck, that lead to some even better card based combat scenes.
Maybe he has one of these to print sigils on cards to combine magic with his mutant power.

@Sanity43217 That sounds dope! Definitely yes on the portable printer! My main character, Warren von Doom, will be handing out various upgrades with his skills as well! So look forward to that, development & progression of tech+gear/power/skill is one of my favs in roleplays, and I hate how downplayed they are in movies & series.

@ZxyxZemon
I would prefer not to have archetypes, and just let everyone come up with whatever character concept they like. As for my character I'm thinking that his parents were an Asgardian battle mage and a Xandarian criminal who met while hiding out in New York City. Basically he grew up all over the realms and space. As an adult he uses his portal magic to rob many institutions, which are now after him so he's hiding out in New York where he was born.

@Martian Yeah, I scrapped that idea. Also, that sounds lovely. First group mission will be a heist of very significant proportions! We'll also get to see the first battle with the new dastardly hero team! Or part of it, at least.
