Titans: Unique Young Superheroes RP

Okay, while Saxton Hale is admittedly an awesome paragon of manliness, his tendency to fight anything that will fight and randomly attack hippies prooobably means he won't fit well or be able to interact much, as I'm seeing it personally? I mean it might work, but just as a player I'm kinda seeing some immediate personality, teamwork and character motivation conflicts XD

Also the killing. There's precedence about no killing. Especially on a team that includes someone trained and raised by Batman.

How many non anime characters do we have? Some variety is always good

Rin and Vita are right. At the moment, ALL of the characters we have are actually non-anime characters. Ultraman is from a live action series and Megman is well...Megaman, a videogame character in this case based mainly off of a Western comic book adaptation and a Western animation cartoon. Ben 10 is Western animation, Iron Fist is Marvel comics as well (I just used an anime character's picture because as unlikely as it is there is NO proper art of him as a child on the internet) Metronome's second character is from Gargoyles, an awesome Western animation show, the list goes on and on.

In fact, it's adding anime characters that would create more variety in terms of genre,, not the other way around.

Since this is meant to be a young superheroes RP according to the premise and title and such, if you were to use Captain Falcon you'd probably have to age him down to late/early teens. You could attempt this on Saxton Hale, but his manliness would make the process impossible.

Well if we're very interested in keeping it as close to canon as possible wouldn't work without adding something that is non canon. Now I have been looking into the golden age superheroes, I think those heroes could work for the rp, I might go with one of them as a character

Like I said it's all the GM's decision.

Well, I've had a chance to say my piece about why I think John Carter's powers and location are hard to change while still keeping him John Carter, so how would you want to make him work? It's all the GM's decision anyway.

Um...Being in Amestris isn't what MAKES Edward an Alchemist necessarily, and regardless the character is still from his own setting anyways with actual reasons as to both why he's now on our Earth and as to why his Alchemy still works, or at least he's supposed to. If nothing else Alchemy can be considered a type of magic, which exists in our fused DC/Marvel universe already.

In the case of John Carter the ONLY reason he has any powers is because Mars has a different, lighter gravity field than Earth. He doesn't have any powers or a magic system or anything like Ed has. Carter's powers are completely circumstantial, and any human from Earth put on Edgar Rice Burroughs' Mars would have them. Putting him on Earth and still having him keep those powers makes absolutely no sense unless you change him to the point where he's John Carter in name only.

It's like saying Superman should still have all of his powers while living on a planet with a red sun. You could maybe do it (and considering the long run history I'm sure someone has done it for Superman) but it goes against the nature of the character and their powers.

This is all for the GM to decide anyways, but the comparison to Ed isn't very valid.

What could he do again?

Technically he doesn't have any powers. On mars he has super strength and agility, but that's because Edgar Rice Burrough's Mars has lower gravity, so he just seems superhuman compared to the Martians and the Martian atmosphere. On Earth he doesn't have any powers since he's...y'know, an ordinary if skilled human. Also he's unaging, but that might have something to do with astral projecting back and forth from Mars and being reconstituted in an identical body each time.

He's basically an earlier, barbarian-hero stylized version of Adam Strange and his adventures on Raan. He's also like Adam Strange in that putting him in-context on Earth kind of makes him pointless and goes against how the character works, but that's my opinion I guess?

Also just realized that using John Carter at all would likely mean ignoring any parts of the setting involving DC Comics Martians.

Similar issues as Walter referred mainly to his being a non-powered hero in the case of Savage. Too much overlap with Nightwing, Bucky and initially Iron Fist. His being a progenitor of characters we already have is part of the issue. That said he's more acceptable than say, The Shadow or The Spider.

Titans: Unique Young Superheroes RP

Personally feel like the darker, more readily lethal tone of a lot of pulp characters would clash with the RP and other characters. That and most pulp characters are non-powered. Essentially I feel like they'd present similar issues to the ones the GM has (and I agree with) about Walter.

Can we have an original character?

The entire point of the rp is using established characters from different mediums. So no...

This has been mentioned multiple times. No OCs
