I'm sorry for the late intro post, but Thor's story has officially started!

ASGARD
Loki's Performance Theatre

A tall, grim looking man wheeled a large man onto the stage on what was a table-sized gurney. "Quick!" He yelled. "My husband is pregnant and he's about to burst in any moment."

The voluminous man groaned in agony as he rubbed his stomach. "Get this baby out of me!"

A dashing man in a bleach-blonde wig waltzed on stage in response to their cries. "Oh my! Right away! Though, we might have to do a c-section. Will that be okay?"

The pregnant man's eyes widened in genuine surprise and hopped off the gurney and turned to the audience. "Forgive me, my Lord, but I refuse to go on any longer. For one, Meredith Grey isn't even that kind of doctor, and secondly, I'm tired of being typecast because of my belly."

A loud sigh escaped the lips of a skinny man dressed in a green elfish outfit and echoed throughout the theatre. "First you complained about being the Chief of Police past his prime and now this. If you don't want to be typecast, Volstagg, you'd lose that weight and get back to your staggeringly perfect days. You don't see Fandral complaining about always playing the woman."

"I actually don't look or feel too bad in these wigs." Fandral responded.

"This is a waste of time," Volstagg's stage husband muttered. "We wouldn't be doing this if the All-father hadn't sent Thor to Midgard as a babe."

"What was that, Hogun?" Their director asked before disappearing and reappearing on stage next to him. "My brother is alive and has been on Midgard all this time?"

"Yes and no, my Lord. He's only been on Midgard these past twenty years living as a mortal unaware of his true lineage." Hogun answered with slight hesitation.

"Interesting. You three are dismissed for today."

The three warriors turned actors departed the stage feeling defeated and uneasy about the future with their prince now learning about what had happened to his brother so long ago. Fandral shook his head at Hogun as they walked out of the back exit. "And I thought I was supposed to be the careless and loose-lipped one. We need to alert the All-father that Prince Loki knows."

"Wouldn't he already know?" Volstagg asked as the door closed behind them.

METROPOLIS

Donald Blake woke up next to a woman whose name he had already forgotten. After busting a drug trafficking operation by a criminal gang running out of Suicide Slum, the 100, Donald ended up cooling off in a bar named Ace O'Clubs while still in his Thor hoodie. Despite it taking a lot for him to get drunk he really enjoyed drinking, but what he enjoyed more was being around the people. Despite being a year younger than the legal age, the owner of the bar allowed him to drink there. The older gray-haired man was named Bibbo and welcomed Donald there ever since he stopped some thugs from trashing the place. Bibbo in some ways was like a second father to Donald and even gave him some pointers from his days as a boxer. One night when he did actually manage to get drunk he confessed to Bibbo that he was the mysterious hero the Daily Planet had been writing about. He of course didn't believe him, but ever since then he felt safe there.

Donald walked over to the chair in the young woman's room where he left his clothes and started getting dressed. He wanted to leave before she got up. He didn't like that awkward after morning exchange.

BOOM!

The sound of the explosion reverberated throughout the whole room waking Donald's one night stand in the process.

"Donald? What was that?" The woman asked as she sat up groggily to see that he was no longer there and her window was open.

An airplane was currently crashing over Metropolis with a hole in its cargo hold and a damaged engine from the explosion. Thankfully the suppression systems in the cargo hold put out the fire before it spread or caused more problems, but the same couldn't be said for the engine. There was a mass panic on board as people began to put on their oxygen masks and pray to the whatever god they served for someone or something to interfere and save them.

A brave soul looked out the window to see a hooded man flying next to their airplane. Were their prayers being answered or was he the cause of this? They got their answer when his hood pulled back to show him inhaling deeply before flying in front of the engine to douse the fire with his super cooled breath.

Donald called on his power over the weather to manipulate the winds to slow the plane's descent and carry it to the airport's runway. The plane dropped its landing gear once they hovered over the runway and was able to land safely. Donald smiled as he heard the sounds of cheering and tears of joy from the passengers and staff of the plane. This was the perfect way for him to start his morning. He didn't want to wait around for them to depart the plane. He didn't care for the glory. He was just glad that people were safe. He decided to leave it to the authorities to figure out what happened in the cargo hold.

LONDON
Winslow Schott's Flat

"DAMMIT! DAMN YOU, DUNHILL! DAMN YOU, THOR!" Winslow Schott yelled as he destroyed everything in his living room that he could get his hands on. He had been planning this assassination for months all for it to be ruined by a loser in a hoodie. Walter Dunhill was an arms manufacturer who ruined his life by killing his wife, Mary. She was lifelike doll that he made for himself, but she and his love for her was real and Dunhill snatched her away from him all because he didn't want to make weapons for him. All Winslow wanted to do was make toys, but that wasn't enough. The evil people of the world wanted him to make weapons. He didn't want to take innocent lives. Even if he wasn't the most sociable person he still cherished life. But Dunhill stole that from him too and now this hero stole his one chance at revenge and salvation.

Winslow collapsed to the floor in defeat and started crying. "Why'd you have to save him? Why'd you have to snatch away my retribution? You're not a god. You're just some show off in a hoodie." He wiped away his snot with his sleeve and dropped his head to the floor. "What will I do now?"

"Called for a god?" A voice asked. Was Winslow hearing voices now? He looked up to see a man in a strange green outfit sitting on his couch. "This place is a mess. Where are your servants?"

Winslow was too mentally weak to run away or fight back against this stranger who just appeared in his home. "Who are you?"

Loki's lips curled into a devious smile. "A friend."

Because taking on too much never goes well for these games.

@Sep

Tis is true. I just couldn't decide between the two.

Worlds Collide: A Merged Universe Superhero Roleplay

Okay, after a day off and two days of brainstorming ideas for either TMNT or Genosha, I am honestly stuck on picking one because I like both rough concepts that I came up with equally. I'd like to hear your thoughts and see how well they align with the overall story. Based on the feedback, I will select one concept to focus on. If you don't mind, you can review my incredibly rough draft of ideas below.

TMNT, but the Hamato Clan is an integral part of the League of Assassins.

The Hamato Clan dwindled in size, wealth, and influence compared to their peak in the Edo period. But it was their ability to adapt to whatever situation presented itself that enabled them to last into the late 20th century. Hamato Yuuta faced the same dilemma that had cursed his ancestors when a simple offer was proposed by The Demon: join his League of Assassins willingly or be forcefully assimilated.

Whatever honor remained died, but it was a calculated move that had been done countless times centuries ago. It was how the Hamato Clan survived the Sengoku period, thrived during the Edo period, and consolidated its power in the Meiji era. And as a reward for their cooperation, the league granted them greater autonomy and access to resources that were normally restricted to sub-organizations. The privilege wasn't squandered.

>On his deathbed, Yuuta believed he had brought honor back to his clan. He left the world comforted that his sons were destined to usher in a golden age. Hamato Yoshi leads the Hand clan while Oroku Saki leads the Foot clan upon their father's death. Almost immediately, the already existing sibling rivalry intensifies to the point that it begins to affect their efficiency. And it all comes to a head one day.

>The Demon assigns the Hand and Foot clans to monitor StockGen, a scientific research company front, regarding their latest research and experiments. It's there that Yoshi and Saki learn the owners and head scientists, Robert and Baxter Stockman, have developed a mucilaginous substance that enhances any creature's size, strength, and intelligence. Yoshi then discovers and captures a corporate saboteur from a rival firm, TCRI, who gets caught in the middle of wiping out both main and backup data on the research.

>After a lengthy interrogation conducted by Saki, they learned of a hypothesis proposed by Baxter that theorized the mutagen, if modified enough, could mutate humans as well. But it is initially dismissed by Robert. Intrigued, the Demon commands that the hypothesis be explored and grants the necessary funding for it to be presented. The deadline arrives with a promising development. Baxter requests the saboteur as the test subject for the mutagen, much to his father's disapproval. The Demon allows it.

>Yoshi watches in surprise as the saboteur gets covered in the substance and then disturbingly transforms into a humanoid scorpion. Baxter proclaims his hypothesis a success and explains how it combines with human and animal DNA to create a hybrid that does not compromise human intelligence. Saki believes it to be a key instrument to rewriting the world, which the Demon agrees with as well. Yoshi...

>A duel between brothers occurs and eventually ends in the sewers in New York City. Yoshi wins but gets exposed to the mutagen by one of his brother's dirty tricks. He painfully transforms into a brown rat, one that he almost tripped over earlier in the fight. When he awakes, he sees four baby turtles standing over him. Yoshi goes back to the surface in an attempt to contact his clan for help, but it ends with a cop firing on them out of fear and sheer incompetence. Yoshi decides right there and then to rise and teach them via exile.

Magneto, but he finds another way of achieving his dream.

Charles Xavier's dream of assimilation and coexistence was always a foolish, naive notion conceived by a desperate man seeking answers. And when it was put to the test, humankind revealed its true colors in a hideous manner their thoughts of the dream. But ever such the idealist, Xavier never faltered for his dream. His closest friend disagreed and began sharing a more realistic dream, one of subjection to mutantkind as a means to pave the way for the next stage of evolution: the Homo superior. And when it was also put to the test, it not only saw grand-scale devastation but also gave humans ammunition to further spread prejudice about mutants. He realized right then and there that his dream had a fatal flaw.

Magneto left his previous life behind him in order to find the solution to that flaw. Unlike Xavier, though, he didn't have a manor or the wealth and influence to preach to a wider audience. Nevertheless, that did not stop him from trying.

>His original teachings leads other mutants to band together and form a brotherhood. Magneto emerges from hiding to reveal himself to his followers, who vote for him to lead. Fought with Professor X and his X-Men several times. Short-lived. Magneto goes into a self-imposed isolation to recontextualize his dream.

>Time in isolation leads him to the realization that outright violence and conquest will ultimately lead to genocide and the extinction of all mutants. Instead, a different dream is introduced, one where mutantkind must make use of its gift for the sole purpose of survival. Only through formidable might would humankind accept mutants, albeit begrudgingly. Magneto denounces his old dream and soon spreads the new one throughout the world.

>His acolytes, inspired by his new teachings, seek out Magneto and convince him to end his self-imposed isolation. After roaming around the planet for a couple of years, news of unrest in the small island nation of Genosha off the coast of Africa. Under the leadership of David Moreau, he has maintained a decades-long apartheid state, oppressive towards non-whites and mutants.

>Magneto and his Acolytes use the opportunity to embolden mass protest and a general strike across the country for change. Tension between protesters and police/military nearly escalates to active revolution before much of the Genoshan leadership is subdued. The Republic of Genosha is declared, and the story starts as Magneto and friends formulate a government.

Oh, mb. It’s alright. I do agree that it feels like some X-Men aren’t really standalone materials. They mostly are team players whose main motivation is to act as the bridge to connect mutantkind with mankind.

And yeah, consider me writing a Wolverine sheet early next week. I haven’t quite found the right time to write it this entire week, unfortunately :/

@Terry Bogard

I did have it as an idea that Thor believes he's a mutant(if they're known about) or a metahuman if you want some Wolverine/X-Men and Thor stories.

My true weakness.

@Lord Wraith

I see why you gave Lex his luscious locks back.

@King Kindredyeha alresdy thought about it

@Aurkanthis

Thank you!

@Aurkanthis Hey, do you mind bolding Aksel's text when he speaks or changing the color? It's hard to read.

Kimetsu no Yaiba: Fuōnmachi no Ryō

Tentatively interested. I have a potential idea, just not sure if I have the bandwidth.
