Worlds Collide: A Merged Universe Superhero Roleplay

Happy swamp ass saturday to those who celebrate. If the green I'm using for his dialogue isn't great to read for anyone, please let me know and I'll change it.

@Half Pint

I leave Half unsupervised for 3 days and come back to... swamp ass saturday.

Worlds Collide: A Merged Universe Superhero Roleplay

Going to be taking the baby on (what feels like) a world tour, since everyone wants to see him in his costume, so I'll be away from Friday until Monday again.

Worlds Collide: A Merged Universe Superhero Roleplay

First go at 1 in the morning. Hopefully the draft concept is there and well enough explained.

The tail is warm and fluffy, and is also capable of being used as an extra limb to grasp and bounce with. It gets tucked away when she needs to assume a civilian identity, which, in her own words, gives her "a conspicuously awesome butt". ◼ "Squirrelese" Her squirrelly nature allows Squirrel Girl to communicate with squirrels. She can mimic their sounds and even direct their actions, including in combat if she so wished. ◼ Superhuman Attributes Squirrel Girl can lift up to twenty five tons and can easily leap several stories. She also has superhuman jaw strength, though chewing through your problems is the least of your worries when you're leading an army of squirrels. ◼ Eyesight Like squirrels, Squirrel Girl has better eyesight than most. Her eyes even have excellent night vision, and are often seen "glowing" red in the dark. ◼ Healing Factor Squirrel Girl can heal somewhat faster from injuries than other people, but not as quick as Wolverine, Deadpool, or any other hero that might also have a strong healing factor. - T O O L (S) ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ◼ Monkey Joe (& Co) The squirrels that Squirrel Girl commands (and is best friends with). Monkey Joe has been by her side since the beginning, and the other squirrels came along later on. Experts at subterfuge, they can swarm quickly and are dangerous in number. ◼ Spikes & Claws Squirrel Girl's gloves have sharp claws built into them. She also has a retractable knuckle spike that can carve through solid wood. ◼ Utility Belt Though the belt has many pockets for tools and other hero gadgets, it primarily contains various types of nuts. Pistachio, hazelnut, walnut, peanut and more; Squirrel has them all. - N O T A B L E S K I L L S N O T A B L E S K I L L S _________________________________________________________ [+] - S K I L L (S) ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ◼ Martial Prowess While Squirrel Girl is obviously not as skilled as Captain America or similar heroes, she has had her fair share of bouts.

T H E S T O R Y S O F A R... T H E S T O R Y S O F A R... ________________________________________________________________________________________ Doreen Allene Green has always been a bit of an oddball. Born with a squirrel tail, she found it difficult to fit in with others. Even in a world of superheroes, kids are and can still be total dicks. A family doctor declared that she wasn't a "mutant", but even he couldn't explain the squirrelly features that Doreen had. Well, thanks, doc. It's always helpful to tell a kid that you don't know what makes you "you". You, your bushy tail, superhuman attributes and... the ability to communicate with squirrels?! Yup, you've heard that right. After Doreen saved the life of a neighborhood squirrel from a vicious dog, things got a little weird, and a little heroic, too. Grateful for her help, the squirrel, known as Monkey Joe, encouraged the youth to use her abilities to help others like she had done for him. The words stuck in Doreen's head. Heroism—being a hero. Golly gee, it sounded fun. And so, with Monkey Joe now at her side, Doreen set out for a heroic life of "kickassery". She found herself idolizing the heroes that she read about online in articles. Captain America, among other heroes. The greats that constantly changed the world (for better or worse). Doreen wanted to be with them. To be by their side, kicking evil villain butt right along with them. Problem is, when you're stuck in nowhereville, there isn't much butt kicking to go around—just some small town fry. But, hey, every great hero had to start somewhere, and if keeping the local store from being robbed is her start, then so be it! P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) ________________________________________________________________________________________ Put simply, I'm a sucker for Squirrel Girl. I'm totally not a one-trick SG lord in Rivals, no siree. You've got the wrong roleplayer, I tell ya. Anyway, Squirrel Girl has largely been a joke character. She exists to be "unbeatable", defeating the likes of Doctor Doom, Juggernaut, Thanos, and even Galactus. What I want to do is pull away from that aspect and focus upon a more realistic version of Squirrel Girl (at least, "comic realistic"). The jokes will still be there; it'll just be less zany cheese and throwaway gags. She may think she is unbeatable, but I don't want this to full of "press 1 and instantly win the game/battle" story beats. So, to combat this, I'm going to start all the way at the beginning. Marvel Super-Heroes (Vol. 2) #8-like, wherein Squirrel Girl is a dumb kid and her squirrels trying to be jumpstart heroes. Essentially, what I intend on is a zero-to-hero type storyline, wherein Squirrel Girl works her way up to the ranks of the heroes she has grown to idolize. As for other story beats or plot points that might come into play, I'm thinking: - Is Squirrel Girl a mutant? This is left ambiguous; the writers say she is "distinct from a mutant" and that her genes had been modified by unknown means, but regardless people still debate if she is a mutant or a mutate. I think it'd be a fun thing to explore perhaps with a mutant/X-Men player(s). - Will Squirrel Girl join any organization? Squirrel Girl has been in quite of a lot of teams or initiatives. The Great Lakes, US Avengers, etc. Perhaps an apprenticeship is down the line since she spends her time idolizing superheroes. - Is Monkey Joe marked for death? Perhaps. Tippy Toe and the others are bound to show up, but whether or not our favorite squirrel pal will be crushed to death is up in the air. It could work for a great cliffhanger issue. These are just some of the ideas I've had bouncing around in my head. I'm open to others, though I've never been big on DC so forgive me if your ideas are DC-inspired and I look at you clueless.

@Kuro

The Unbeatable Beatable Squirrel Girl is approved.

Go forth and kick Thanos' ass.

When I submitted my sheet on the basis of 'I'm trying to re-discover my ability to write and enjoy this long-time hobby of mine, and I do not intend to collaborate or interact with other players/characters for at least the first entire arc of my story', I meant it. I've been very clear about my intentions with my participation, both to GMs and other players. If it's rubbed anyone the wrong way then I consider that a small price to pay for what has been, so far, a very successful foray back into a pastime I love dearly but have had steadily robbed from me for the past two-and-a-bit years and won't apologise for it.

@Roman

You're fine with us.

While we do encourage writers to get together to tell amazing stories, there's plenty of room for those who want to carve a solo path too.

Thanks, I'll have it cleaned up in a bit

Whelp, that at least gives Mary Jane a chance with one of them.

My headcanon is now that Spider-Man's theme song is the theme from "The Young and the Restless"

If this was Peter Porker, you'd be taking the lead.

Alas.

That would be great! It would be cool to build up friendships between everyone's characters for when larger scale events happen. Even some fun small posts where characters start hanging out inbetween larger plot threads would be great at some point!

@Half Pint

What I'm reading is that Firestorm has the professor's credit card and the pizza is on him.

Worlds Collide: A Merged Universe Superhero Roleplay

Would anyone be interested in an epilogue after the event itself concludes?

Smaller stories where people can split off if they want, rescuing people from damaged or burning buildings, swapping superhero instagrams, or whatever?

I was thinking that could provide a transition either back to people's solo stories or set up where some might want to have a more 1 on 1 or small group interaction.

One of my first games on RPGuild 1.0 was as a gender-bent Danny ('Dani') Ketch who'd only recently been possessed by Zarathos.

@Roman

I remember that, vaguely I think. What a long time ago now.
