C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T ________________________________________________________________________________________ In this interpretation, a banished Klyntar did bond with Spider-Man and fed on the hero's desire to stop the Green Goblin's reign of terror. But when he couldn't save his lover, Gwen Stacy, after being used as bait, something unexpected happened to the symbiote. The symbiote was beginning to experience every emotion that both Spider-Man and Peter Parker have ever felt. And it became overwhelmed for the first time ever, causing him to sever the bond. Upon escaping to a relatively quiet church, the Klyntar stubborn upon a broken man seeking forgiveness. Edward Brock had lost his admirable job and was disowned by his father. He planned on committing suicide after he visited the church. But, the symbiote sensed his hatred towards Spider-Man and pain for losing everything meaningful in his life. That was the night that Venom was born. And for four years, Venom terrorized Spider-Man and Peter Parker throughout New York City. It was always the same story: someone close to their mortal enemy gets hurt, Spider-Man shows up and fights Venom. And it always ended the same with Spider-Man coming out on top while Venom got locked up in prison only to escape to repeat the story again. But then, 2018 came and forever changed both Eddie and the symbiote. A completely different symbiote bonded with a known serial killer, Cletus Kasadym, and became Carnage as they began a rampage through Manhattan, killing dozens of innocents. Upon learning of the murders, Venom met up with the killer in an attempt to neutralize them. But, Carnage saw through the lies and quickly overwhelmed them while learning about Anne Weying. Venom tried to save their only friend from a monster, but it was already too late. With no other options and a determination to get revenge, Venom sought help from their mortal enemy: Spider-Man. So, the two of them worked together to track down Carnage leading them to the North Brother Island. That was when Venom abruptly betrayed Spider-Man and allowing Carnage to kill them in exchange for a truce. But, then, something strange happened. The symbiote started to re-experience the same emotions that they felt four years ago. But, it emphasized Peter's memories of Uncle Ben and Gwen Stacy—the good and the bad. Eddie, still bonded with the symbiote, also experienced everything and made him sympathize with his swore enemy. Upon learning that their pain was identical, Venom surprised Spider-Man by tackling Carnage and causing them to fall into the fire below. Unsurprisingly, everyone thought that both Venom and Carnage died on that night. But it wasn't the end of their story. Venom found themselves washed up on the shores of Massachusetts. And instead of returning to New York, Eddie and the symbiote chose to remain dead to focus on themselves. That was what they did for two years. Then, an evening news segment on a string of bizarre murders caught their attention. Afraid that Carnage was back in action and seeking revenge against Spider-Man, Eddie and the symbiote made the decision to return to New York City. Not as the infamous Venom but as Agent Venom. P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) ________________________________________________________________________________________ I have been dreaming of playing Venom ever since I joined the superhero roleplays years ago. So, I was incredibly grateful to @webboysurf when he listened and gave me the all-clear to play out my version of Venom. For this roleplay, I am planning on having Eddie and the symbiote desperately trying to reform (with help from the web-head, of course). So, as a roaming character, don't be surprised if you see them swinging around New York City with a familiar web-slinger (and any other wall-crawlers). Overall, the entire story will be about Venom and Eddie having remorse and empathy all because of their former mortal enemy.

I think you have Carol all wrong, but I'll wait till I have IC posts to back that up. But cocky is definitely not a word I would ascribe to her.

@Lord Wraith

Fair enough, cocky is a poor choice of words. Just thought that she would've been proud enough for achievements to boast about them. Hell, maybe I am wrong and will eat my hat when I read the post.

<Snipped quote by Mao Mao>

You're going to have to explain this one to me.

@Lord Wraith

I kinda had a hard time with your character, to be honest. I probably should've picked Ruelle's Live Like Legends instead. But I thought Legend sounded better for Carol because she (assuming here) was kinda cocky military personnel with the right heart. The kind of person willing to fight until they're bleeding and sweating for someone else. Now after listening to both songs, I kinda wished that I chose Ruelle's song instead.

C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T ________________________________________________________________________________________ What happens if an immortal goddess demands change in a stubborn world? In this interpretation, Diana of Themyscira has lived a relatively long wondrous from the late-1910s to the present day. She has seen the beauty and the ugly of mankind, made many friends and enemies, and even fell in love. But even as she slowly adapted to the times, the Themysciran could only watch as the climate started to change in an unprecedented manner. There was only so much she could've done without governments and authorities interfering and putting enough red tapes to choke a rhino. In the last decade, friends of Wonder Woman begun to notice a sublet change. Something that both world wars were unable to do. Something that didn't break when her first friend, Steve Trevor, was murdered in front of her. Something that she was still teaching about to everyone, including other heroes. Something that the Gods of Olympus bestowed upon her birth: Hope. Wonder Woman was losing hope. P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) ________________________________________________________________________________________ A year ago, I made the ragtag group known as Misfits as a response to what I felt in the midst of a global pandemic that shined a light on issues plaguing our world. Deep down, I had hoped these issues would've been properly addressed. But now? Uncharitable billionaires are having their own space race on the backs of their exhausted workers who don't make enough to afford rent. Record shattering heat waves, floodings, and wildfires destroying communities and lives while oil and gas executives rest comfortably. And corrupt politicians are desperately trying to maintain the idea that everything is still fine and everyone is happier than ever while the world burns on. That got me thinking. How would heroes react to our current circumstances? And my mind went to Wonder Woman. As a driving character, I would love folks to join as supporting and roaming characters if they wish to deal with political themes and topics. As for supporting characters, I am looking for someone to be Wonder Girl (preferably this version of Cassandra Sandsmark or Yara Flor) and Troia (Donna Troy but I don't want her to be Diana's sister or clone). I have plans for the Amazons, Twelve Olympians, Nubia, and Wonder Boy (Bobby Barnes). S Y N O P S E S ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ NEW NORMAL One minute, a megafire endangers several agricultural communities in the Western United States. The next, record-breaking flooding creates chaos and threatens a large town in Ireland. Wonder Woman is doing all she could in the face of an inevitable climate apocalypse. But even she doesn't truly possess the power and wealth to bring forth meaningful changes. No, it's the dismissive politicians and selfish billionaire CEOs that wield such strength. So, instead of sitting on the sidelines in despair, Wonder Woman decides to fight back against climate inaction and inactivists, even if it upsets a lot of powerful individuals.

And while the police department was expected to condemn the vigilante, the commissioner instead came out in support of the arrests and thanked the vigilante for "their service to the community" before accepting them into police custody. Wonder Woman, outraged by the endorsement, begins hunting down the vigilante before someone ends up dead. But what she doesn't know is that the vigilante is more than ready to deal with her...

Way ahead of you bbbb

@Cybermaxx

If you're up for song suggestions, then I'd suggest Olivia Rodrigo's brutal because I was considering that song over Chained to the Rythem...

Also, I totally didn't just steal some of the songs for my own playlists...

Sensation & Wonder: An Absolute Comics Roleplay [DC & Marvel One Universe Style Game]

Interesting that Hozier fits Mr Freeze. I personally saw him having Beethoven, Mozart and Vivaldi for his music

@Ever Faithful

I don't tend to pick only instrumental songs because it isn't my cup of tea. But I'd imagine Mr. Freeze liking music (as long as it's meaningful) because it's really the only thing that makes him have emotion. Hozier is known for having deep meaningful songs (Take Me to Church is one of my favorites) and listening to In the Woods Somewhere while reading your sheet made sense especially in the final verse:

I clutched my life
And wished it kept
My dearest love, I'm not done yet
How many years
I know I'll bear
I found something in the woods somewhere

I could explain further if you want me to, but the verse (to me, anyway) vibes with your Mr. Freeze.

Everyone's doing banners, headers, and other cool things. Meanwhile, I'm kinda in a silly mood. I might do playlists because I love music and trying to match the kind of songs that fit with the characters. But for now, here are some of their "theme" songs. I can happily explain why I pick that song for your character if you wanna know.
