Not making any promises, but if I can come up with something in the next week...

Absolute Comics - A Multi-Fandom Singular Universe Roleplay

Hate to leave you all hanging, but I've had zero progress on any post since being accepted for Spider-Man... weeks ago. So I think it's best to call it here and just admit that I'm not really in a writing headspace right now. Kills me because I had a ton of ideas, but ideas alone don't formulate posts.

Best of luck to the game, everyone's doing really good work in it.

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 ___________________________________________________________________________________ Peter got bit by the spider in 2002, learned the big lesson in power and responsibility, and a rough version of all the big events from the comics spun out from there - barring a few exceptions, since it doesn't make sense to include every single crossover and team-up he's ever been apart of in a collaborative setting. So no Secret, Civil, or miscellaneous wars to speak of. But he fought The Sinister Six several times, while still in High School. He lost Gwen Stacy and Captain Stacy in college. He'd been cloned a time or two by the time he graduated. He took on an alien costume that wound up creating Venom. The city's turned against him multiple times thanks to Jameson and The Daily Bugle. He's married to Mary Jane, they were gonna have a baby, a miscarriage happened, they split up, got back together again. He was a science teacher at one point, a full-blown engineer at another point, and has been making pitifully little money selling photos to Jameson for half his life. And a couple of years ago, Otto Octavius was in control of his body for an extended period. All of this is compacted into 24 years of character history rather than 64 years of comics' history. Point being, this is a Peter Parker that's been tempered by the weight of experience. He's about to turn 40, but he's closer to the end of his career than he is to the beginning. Because of that, he's grown more confident in his abilities as a hero, struggling way less with balancing two lives than he used to. I'm playing with the idea of Peter being the first major superhero NYC ever had, so he's having to contend with the fact that now there's a bunch of superpowered individuals popping up all over the world that might make him redundant. Not looking up at a bunch of older heroes with stars in his eyes, but looking back at a generation he may have helped inspire, wondering if he's done right by them. Which will be reflected directly in characters like Miles Morales, the Spider-Women, and a version of Spider-Gwen, but I want the interactions to have Peter be the guy in the room who's seen and done it all, for a change. One thing I will specify is that I want to stick with the idea that death matters in Spidey's life. That when Norman Osborn got impaled by the glider, or when Harry succumbed to the Goblin formula, or when Aunt May died peacefully at home, they were never undone. Which means that storylines like Sins Past and One More Day couldn't have happened - which is just... so unfortunate, y'know? So unfortunate. P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) __________________________________________________________________________________ The keyword in what I want to do is "rebuild". Peter's life has been a chaotic mess for years, and he's only started to get a handle on it again after he and Mary Jane reconciled following The Clone Saga, Superior, and a few other periods that drove them apart. He lost a promising job thanks to Otto test-driving his mind but gained a tenative second chance, Jameson is about to retire and finally get off his back, and all of his big villains are starting to wind down after years of being humiliated by him. So of course, the Parker Luck has to kick back in eventually and he's going to have to be tested. But at this point, that's just business as usual for him. The more startling status quo would be if forces didn't conspire against him and everything he loves. I'm hoping to interact with a variety of characters, since Spider-Man is a very established presence in a world that, so far, doesn't feel like it has alot of those. I'll likely have some solo plots going on, but I'm basically free to cross paths with whoever on the side, as long as they're either in New York or have a very plausible reason for Peter to travel. But a home turf's a home turf, y'know?

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.

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 ___________________________________________________________________________________ I don't intend to reinvent the wheel, but I'm harkening back to his early appearances in the comics by having him be generally mysterious as opposed to being everyone's friend who's already earned the public's trust. He's been saving people since he was a teenager, more or less doing the Superboy thing, but has only started wearing the suit and going by the other moniker for a year. Otherwise, people have only really known him as a powerful gust of wind, a streak of red and blue, or the rare eyewitness account - like any cryptid or alien sighting, but on an active scale. The big change I want to make is to move the action away from Metropolis. Lois is actively covering LexCorp's misdeeds, and Lex has taken the company worldwide. So she and Clark are on assignment out of the country, far too busy to focus on one city. By expanding the scope of the adventures, I want to make whenever they do appear in Metropolis be that much more meaningful. Clark hasn't even actually set roots there, he's still staying on the farm back at home on the rare occasion he isn't saving the world or doing his job as a reporter. Another change I want to make is that, apart from Ma and Pa, Superman has nobody in his corner right now. Lois has been burned too many times by powerful people claiming to be benevolent, so she's a skeptic. Jimmy is nobody's pal at first, acting as a rival of Lois and Clark while freelancing through Flamebird, an indie news outlet. And Lex is Lex - the sooner this interloper is burned to ash, the better. Clark Kent, glasses edition, is the side of him that'll develop interpersonal relationships. He's still a little new to the Planet, tagging along with Lois as she travels across the world on a tear to unseat Luthor from power. Clark is the one who really develops as the core of who Superman is. P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) __________________________________________________________________________________ It's always fun to revisit Superman every couple of years and I feel like this time, I have a take that is more interaction friendly. Since I want to stress Clark not being focused on saving Metropolis more than the world itself, he can appear anywhere at basically any time and lend a hand. And it feeds into the ongoing narrative to have him do that, since if he appeared strictly in the places Lois and Clark are stationed, he'd arouse suspicion. My hope is that I can develop him and his supporting cast to a point that I can tell interesting stories with everyone, not just Superman, and start to go places that the comics either haven't or have barely tackled. As for the narrative, LexCorp is up to no good and powerful enemies are born as a result of that no-gooded-ness. But there may be others that look to try and oppose LexCorp with a more destructive approach, forcing Superman to have to step in and stop the world's most powerful man... and sometimes protect him.

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 ___________________________________________________________________________________ This is my attempt to blend my two favorite Sojourner Mullein runs: the original Far Sector and the utterly fantastic Absolute Green Lantern run. In this continuity, Jo's one year tenure as the City Enduring's 'sheriff' has turned into a decade long posting at the frontier of known space- a place so distant from Oa that her sector has no official numerical designation. She's built a life in the City Enduring: she has a voice on the Trilogy council, oversaw the return of emotions for twenty billion souls, and married Syzn of the Cliffs, by the Streaking Ice. Just as she allowed herself to feel comfortable, disaster struck. The preeminent Green Lantern of Earth, Hal Jordan, is dead. Murdered by forces unknown. Worse still, his ring refuses to seek out a replacement. While Guy Gardner and Jon Stewart are busy protecting the most chaotic sector in the galaxy, the Guardians of the Universe have elected Sojourner Mullein to investigate Jordan's death. She's forced to leave her new life behind, returning to a world so far in her rear view it may as well be alien. P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) __________________________________________________________________________________ My goal with this run is to introduce my favorite Green Lantern to a more 'mainline' continuity. The Green Lantern Corps and the other flavors of the emotional spectrum are all present and well established, both to act as background for my own run as well as to leave other players plenty of toys in the sandbox- if they want them. I'm more than keen to establish the cosmic side of the game if there's interest in that. If other players want to write for the Corps, I'm happy to make room. Characters like Guy, John and Simon will feature in my stuff but their roles aren't so vital that they're unavailable to interested parties. And Kyle, Jessica, Jade and Alan are completely off my radar. Hal Jordan's a fucking corpse, though. Sorry. As for my solo act, Sojourner Mullein is not a traditional green lantern. Her power ring is designed in such a way that it has a lower power ceiling than an ordinary variant, but its self-charging, requiring no trip back to a power battery to juice up. That makes it poorly suited for knock down, drag out fights with Atrocitus or Sinestro. For Sojourner, its an investigator's tool: a means to see that which cannot ordinarily be seen, go where she could not ordinarily go, and a way to dig up the secrets people try to bury.
