I'll be honest, I'll be focusing on the Forever Knights rather than Intergang. They might come up again relation to them though, but definitely not the focus currently

@Natty

I suppose the same question applies then for the Forever Knights.

Since we're talking about organizations, I'm wondering how Earth Protection Force and Agent Bishop would fit within the story. And since the GDA now exists, would he and other significant characters serve under Cecil? Or would they just serve under S.W.O.R.D. instead?

@Mao Mao

Without knowing anything about the Earth Protection Force, my first question is how does it differ from S.W.O.R.D. in terms of scope, or how would you define the Earth Protection Force?

Would it work as a subdivision of one of the other organizations?

Global Defense Agency has been added to the OP at the request of @Ruby

But I'm also excited to use them.

<Snipped quote by Lord Wraith>I'll get back to you on the Brotherhood of Mutants as I think more about them and actually have a Rogue post out, but Cadmus should probably be taken out unless you have any plans for it, since it was developed firstly for Bruce in Odyssey and I think it would be better to wait and see how other players utilize Cadmus/Pierce on their own terms then have them be beholden to another game.

@Pacifista

I honestly had thought I did take Cadmus out already.

I did put a bit in green on my sheet but I can condense it more once I'm off if you want

@Colonel Sep

Feel free to tweak the following. This is what I came up with based on the blurb in your sheet and then I just went with standard A.I.M.:

A.I.M. - Originally an offshoot of Hydra, Advanced Idea Mechanics or A.I.M. is best described as an organization of scientists and their hirelings dedicated to the acquisition of power and overthrowing of all the world's governments through science and technology. The organization supplies arms and technology to various terrorist and subversive organizations to foster a violent technological revolution and to generate profit.

NANITE EVENT, THE - The Nanite event occurred five years ago in the small European nation of Abysus due to the interference of A.I.M. during the Stark Expo, which led to a breach. Despite a failsafe that prevented any airborne nanites from becoming active, quarantine ultimately failed. In the fallout, these nanites have spread in some form all over the globe. Thankfully, they seem unable to self-replicate outside of a living body. Strangely, only planet life in Abysus seems to host nanites; they are attempting to spread but Providence has teams around the border of Abysus creating a one-hundred-metre deadzone.

PROVIDENCE - Providence is a specialized militarized offshoot of A.R.G.U.S. that was created in response to the Nanite Event. A public-facing entity, perhaps more so than its parent organization, Providence's first priority is to cure the naninte-infected EVOs; if a cure cannot be secured, then they are to contain the threat. As an absolute last resort, Providence will issue a kill command, but their official doctrine is 'Cure, Contain, or Kill.'

Would you like a more detailed piece on the nanite event itself?/EVOs and what they are just incase anyone wants to fight a monster for a random post

@Colonel Sep

I will take whatever you want to give me, and I'll ensure it's in an easy place for others to access.

@Lord Wraith likely not today but if I get a chance to write up a blurb can you throw up a bit about Providence?

@Colonel Sep

For sure!

And this goes for anyone. If you have an organization, an individual or something constant you want represented across the game. Feel free to submit a blurb for the OP. This not only helps keep things consistent in the IC but also encourages collaboration and coordinating similar plots, which can lead to team-ups and crossovers between characters.

All that good stuff we want to see in comics and aim to replicate here.

I'm working on my post. Though something's been bugging me that I wanted y'all's opinion about. I'm wondering whether you guys would like to read the prologue as one massive post or five separate posts spread out?

@Mao Mao

Depends on how massive, I post how I like to read so I gravitate towards bite-sized chunks of one scene. I think there's merit to both, though in just doing the prologue as a prologue or splitting it apart and using it to draw parallels to the present.

On another note, I'd added an Ongoing Plots section to the Zeroth Post of the IC. Most of it is a framework with placeholder names for arcs, so if you want yours filled out differently, you've got to send me something. Otherwise, I'll keep making up arc names and eventually descriptions lol

Also added Fisk as Mayor of New York under notable information.

<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.

@Mao Mao

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.

Absolute Comics - A Multi-Fandom Singular Universe Roleplay

<Snipped quote by Lord Wraith>

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.

@Silverstein

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:

_{I S S U E # 0 1}

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.
