Ultimate One Universe: Marvel/DC RPG

Anyone heard from Jones recently? It's quiet. Too quiet...

Quirks

I have an unreasonable aggression towards mannequins. I have an obsessive compulsive reaction to step exclusively on tiles diagonal from one another within grocery stores and similar places. I haven't taken any medicine for as long as I can remember because I'd rather be sick than allow modern medicine and chemicals to complicate my ailments. I am obsessed with nineties era punk rock.

Favourite 5 villains

So only playing as seemingly heroic vigilantes?

Nah. You'd get to play as superheroes/supervillains. But rather than using superpowers or advanced technology, you're limited to modern utilities. Unlike Batman, who was inspired by the legend of the Zorro and classical literature amongst mythology and psychology, you're characters are inspired by the comic book superheroes and their mainstream appearances. You can genuinely be heroic, you just can't have a system of crime-fighting/law-breaking without the 'kinks' of superheroics/supervillainy.

Unless I am mistaken, I personally saw this as a somewhat lighthearted parody role-play, a loving deconstruction of genre with some slightly more serious overtones at times. I would most certainly not mind doing a more serious one by any means, however. It is just what I understood when I read the introduction.

You pretty much hit it right on the nose. This is what I was going for. I think certain aspects of 'Watchmen' would serve well to compare the tone, as would Waid's Daredevil run.

Ok. To put this bluntly, you're in a trap and your best move is to get out of there. Note I speak from having been in the exact same situation multiple times before.First, you already have worries that if she would do this she she has va boyfriend nothing stops her from doing it when with you. That is a legit and true worry.Secondly, if she honestly thought you were a good boyfriend preferable to her current one she would of. left him for you by now.This is not saying you are not a better boyfriend. But she doesn't value you as one and its better to not have her take advantage if you like that.My suggestion is to pass in her and wait for someone else. This has all the same warning signs my past relationships did that all ended terribly. I'm just hoping that you don't have to suffer the same way I did.Good luck.Also, I completely relate to wanting to beat up someone who is a total dick and tries to Intimidate others. I personally have 0 patience for such people.Good on you for not doing it though. Violence only would of made things worse for all three of you. Its always best to avoid throwing fists if you can help it. The world needs less fighting in it, not more. Double when relationships are part of the equation.

I appreciate the advice and am extraordinarily likely to follow it. Thanks, assorted dudes and fellow gamers.

Cool, people. A couple questions for those interested:

●What characters would you create?

●Tonally, what had each of you read into this? (Gritty, Lighthearted, etc.)

●Are there any requests or suggestions for what to do with this game?

What's Bothering You?

Dervish said The fact she's leading you on like that is not good for either you or her boyfriend, who as far as I'm concerned has done nothing wrong. Have you ever considered he was sizing you up because he thinks you're butting into his relationship and maybe trying to break it up? What would you do if the situation was reversed and it was him trying to get between you and her? You'd probably want to kick his ass, and fighting him is NOT going to win her over or prove anything other than you think with your fists and are quick to anger. The more you push, the more you're going to drive her away, it's that simple, and trying to break up a relationship because you fancy a girl is a dickmove.

I'm not trying to interrupt their relationship. I actually went so far as to say that me and her should avoid talking. It's just... that didn't work. Plus, I never look for fights, and I wouldn't have hurt someone to look cool or to impress anyone, if anything it would've been legitimate self-defense because he was the instigator, he is taller, overall larger, and he was attempting to intimidate me. Plus, it also wasn't actually my fault because she approached (and continues to approach) me.

So, yeah. I'm not impulsive, generally speaking, I just had to bite back the urge to beat him so I would come out not being 'that guy who beat up her boyfriend'. The fact that she talks to me isn't my fault. If anything, instead of sizing me up, I (call me crazy!) would've tried talking to a guy coming between me and my girlfriend.

EDIT: Based upon the previously given information I do see where you formed your opinions and totally support them, even if it means that the right thing would involve me being hurt as a result.

I'll say this. That first girl has a boyfriend already, so if you really do care about her, maybe it's best that you stand back, don't get in the way, and let those two be what they will be. I won't get into too much detail with my own personal life here, but I was in a similar situation...and find myself in something of a similar situation now (except the girl in question and I actually have a history together). Bottom line being, she's seeing someone and if said someone makes her happy....maybe you should let them be happy. Would be different if it was just someone she liked but wasn't actively dating, but if they are dating...maybe just try to let it go, hard as that is to do.

You are undeniably right. And I wouldn't argue with you at all. I'd merely like to bring out a problem with that. She constantly talks to me, and it's hard to let her be. We pretty much established that I would be her next boyfriend. Her current boyfriend is a dick, but he never does anything to her. So out of respect for them, I have been holding myself back. One thing I have a problem with is that we talked for two days straight while she had a boyfriend. It makes me ask myself "Why wouldn't she do the same thing to me?" I genuinely feel like we do have a special synergy, but maybe it means more to me than it does to her.

Her boyfriend started sizing me up after school once. I may openly be a 'nerd', but I'm not a wimp. So I threw my arm over his shoulder and started strolling for a second, establishing that he would not be intimidating me at all. As opposed to simply beating the living shit out of him for sizing me up like that. So that is a tricky spot for me. The only reason I didn't beat him into submission is because she was watching. Sometimes I wish I did anyways.

I was bullied as a young child, so showing mercy against people trying to intimidate me is excruciatingly difficult. I have a tendency to tackle anyone partaking in bullying on an impulse. It's the only impulse I have that I don't bite back.
