<Snipped quote by Lord Wraith> I won't mind if the Foot was included. If you need me to fill out the details, reach out to me. I'm working out an idea of the Hand and Foot relations with Silverstein.
That was going to be my follow-up question.
Tell you what, you guys work out the details and then just either PM me a blurb, or post one here, and I'll add whatever to the OP for them.
Yes please, the Hand does. Adding ninjas always makes everything 100% cooler.
Also, I almost forgot. I think you should include Fisk being the mayor of the city for the new york peeps.
That's probably a good detail to add somewhere.
I was going to start adding 'plot summaries' to track active plots so people could have a quick reference point for what everyone else is doing, and sort of a way of maybe also encouraging collaboration.
This is my rough example below obviously based on my own stuff:

THE ETERNAL NIGHT
Premordial forces are disturbed when fanatic cultists follow archaeologists who unearth a hidden city in South America that was meant to be left buried and forgotten. Inside were twisted creatures imbued by the power of the bat-god, CAMAZOTZ, who is determined to bring about the end of the Fifth Cycle by way of the Eternal Night. To do this, the bat-god requires sacrifice wrought by a deathbringer, and he has set his eyes on CARTER HALL.
Characters Involved: Hawkman Desired # of Players: TBD
Also, I made a slight change to the roster. Given the number of characters applied for, withdrawn and those who haven't posted yet. If you want an image on the roster, you gotta post first.
Once you have a first post, I'll add you to the roster.
Rescinding my Superman sheet. I'd been waffling on it for the last week, and concluded that I didn't have the drive to do it. With a Supergirl acceptance, I feel like Kryptonians are covered in-game right now.
Sadface, but excited to see what you come up with next.
So I've been on the fence lately and wanted to present this sheet. I would like to take in opinions on the idea and how well it gels with the rest of the sheets. This would be a more grounded story.

The concept for this iteration of Wolverine is not too wildly different in personality from his comic iteration. The difference lies in how Logan's life has played out. Keeping on the theme of long life, Logan has fought in almost every war imaginable since the 1870's, trained as Ogun's greatest student, and saved the life of a young Kenuichio Hoshida aka Silver Samurai. Where things differ is Logan is blood brothers with Sabertooth and Nick Fury would end up recruiting the pair for the Weapon X program under SHIELD where Logan would earn the codename Wolverine. This program would introduce them to Logan's most trusted ally in Wade Wilson while also tearing Logan and Victor apart. Under Abraham Cornelius, Logan still undergoes the process that bonds adamantium to his skeleton. Due to how they were treated and the things they were forced to do, he would eventually defect after injuring Nick Fury.
The major inspiration for the next part of Wolverine's life would be from stories like Lone Wolf and Cub, Vagabond, and God of War 2018. Logan falls in love with Sarah Kinney, who at first is working undercover for SHIELD, and they sire a child together, Laura. Laura is special as her body creates adamantium, not needing the bonding process like her father. Sabertooth would be sent to take the child, killing Sarah in the process. Spending years on the run, Logan now has to raise Laura while dealing with his past.

I think Wolverine is one of the most well written characters in comics. All his stories are personal and about facing his past. He's one of the few where the writing is consistent without hard swings in his character. The one thing that Logan has never gotten to do is raise his children. While he has mentored and played father figure to many characters, I think there is a story to tell of him being a father despite the things he has to face. I think this grounds him to an extent, forcing him to truly think about his actions, instead of diving head first into violence. The story will put him at odds with Nick Fury and SHIELD, who is envisioned as a bit of a villain, but not evil. Logan and Laura will roam, facing daunting odds and growing as a family....alongside Laura's annoying Uncle Wade Wilson.

Nightwing -Dick Grayson, former Robin, now former Nightwing, was injured in a fight, left with a bad leg and unable to carry on like he previously had. Basically, a recluse living in a penthouse apartment in Bludhaven.
-This Dick would have to be older than Ruby's Babs. Started with Batman when he was 12, struck out on his own approximately five to six years later and was injured several years into his solo career.
-Source of injury TBD, few ideas tossing around in my head. Could be taken from Beyond where a team up with Batman went South. Could be mutually assured destruction from Blockbuster, betrayal from Tarantula etc.
-A new Nightwing has appeared on the streets of Bludhaven. This Nightwing doesn't follow the Family's code, brutally killing criminals.
-Dick sets out to confront his identity thief, in the process finds himself over his head and is saved by Terry McGinnis. This encounter plays out similarly to the Batman Beyond origin, with Terry realizing Dick was the real Nightwing and setting him up to confront the imposter.
-The imposter is Tad Ryerstead. Upon his defeat, Tad could become 'Talon' or even a Talon?
-Rogues would be a mix of Batman Beyond and Nightwing with various supporting characters from both. Focus ultimately is on the mentor-student dynamic between Dick and Terry, with new elements introduced due to the significantly reduced age gap. Not to mention the potential for Dick being jealous and/or resentful of Terry 'squandering' his physical peak.

"How do you get 'Dick' from Richard?"
C H A R A C T E R P O R T R A I T C H A R A C T E R P O R T R A I T
A cesspool built from Gotham's runoff, anything that doesn't put roots down in Gotham gets flushed into the city-like sewer known as Blüdhaven. A port town, Blüdhaven got its start as a whaling town before becoming an industrial port. The sky is layered in a thick cloud of smog, while streets are constantly filled with fog due to the miles of antique boiler pipe laid beneath cobblestone streets hastily repaired with asphalt and concrete.
But for a brief moment, the city had hope in the form of its very own Bright Knight.
Richard 'Dick' Grayson, the former protegé and Robin of Gotham's Batman, outgrew the shadow of his mentor's cape and, after a soul-finding journey, adopted a symbol of rebirth he learned from a distant Romani relative. From the ashes of Robin rose Nightwing, who took to the streets of Blüdhaven, using the best tricks learned from the Bat to inject fear into the superstitious and cowardly lot that preyed on the vulnerable.
But years of war against the crimelord known as Blockbuster took their toll, eventually driving Dick Grayson to his breaking point, and in a final confrontation, Dick was left maimed and traumatized while Blockbuster was killed.
A former vigilante turned recluse, Dick Grayson has reluctantly enjoyed a simpler life, managing a gymnastics facility and becoming a superintendent over a small apartment complex. However, a new Nightwing has appeared in Blüdhaven, and with it, a trail of bodies, brutally killed by blunt force trauma.
Unable to allow his legacy to be tarnished and fear turned against the people of Blüdhaven, Dick is forced out of his mandated retirement.
The Bright Knight Returns.

Why do you want to play this character, what is the driving motivation behind both this desire and the character themselves. What do you hope to accomplish and where do you want the character's story/stories to go? For a driving character, there should be enough of an outline present to interest other players along with specifications towards how many players you're looking to involve or available roles. For supporting characters, this should indicate either a plot you've arranged to be part of or the type of plot you're looking to be involved in. Roaming characters have the privilege of doing either or simply stating a roadmap for the character to exemplify how you'd ideally like them to move between plots.
