I actually liked Green Lantern and Daredevil.
Then you get a double helping of Catwoman! Multiple monitors! >:(

Bio
Very well, where do I begin?
My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet.
My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament.
My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard, really. At the age of twelve, I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles.
There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking. I highly suggest you try it.

1. Could a player start with a character on an alternate Earth?
Like if someone wanted to play as Val-Zod from New 52 Earth 2, the Joker from the Tangent Universe or Spider-Gwen.
Or would that be too... complicated?
2. What if one player wanted to play Kal-El and another wanted to play Val-Zod? Could both characters possibly be accepted and exist in the same world? Or would the GM decide who had the better CS?
3. Would a villain whom started out as a hero (such as Sinestro who was a Green Lantern) be allowed as a main PC?
1 and 2. Theoretically, yes. I'd largely base that off of who is the first to submit an application with the name "Superman" attached to it, and what their opinion of this is, but you could start off from an alternate universe and find your way to the game's. However, I'd suggest waiting to see who plays Superman if you want to co-exist with them, since he's a major PC and that falls under the jurisdiction of his universe.
3. That's alright, as long as they aren't a villain at the time you're playing them. I just don't want antagonists out there that complicate a main hero's mythology with conflicting variations. But in the case of Sinestro specifically, if you wanted to make him the main hero Green Lantern, that's cool with me.

And yeah, there are no dibs. Even from me, necessarily. So if someone's expressed interest in somebody you want, that doesn't mean jack until an app is submitted for approval.
(Though if any of you attempt to steal Batman from me, I must warn you that I will find you in your sleep, gag you, bind you to a chair and force you to watch Green Lantern and Catwoman over and over until your eyeballs bleed. Whether you want that to happen or not is on you.)

And to be clear, for right now only one character per person is allowed.
I don't want people to burn themselves out trying to write multiple stories at a time - I know how tempting that is, given I'd love to play about a dozen other heroes alongside Batman, but I also know how daunting that would be. I'd rather just stick with who I want most and give my all to that.
If this game makes it to a Year Two, then the idea of expanding character slots can come up. Or if we somehow do really well and there's a serious void still needed for major characters.

Oh, yeah. Cap definitely exists and is available to be played.
The reason I left the details surrounding him vague are so that whoever picks him up can decide on how he's "returned" to the present, that way nobody has to be beholden to the idea of him being entombed in a block of ice for 80 years.
You could theoretically spin Captain America's origin in a number of ways, whether it's to make him a 95-year-old who aged in real time or have a series of people who succeeded Steve Rogers - if Rogers was ever even Cap at all in this universe. Or, if that's not your thing, you could do the origin story as it normally happens and work from there, based off of any pre-existing version. (Ultimate Marvel, MCU, ect.)
See, that's what I mean by flexible continuity. I'd approve an application for Diana Prince to have been this Earth's Captain America if the scenario and application are thought-out and sound enough. Or a reformed Red Skull, just to throw out as many ideas as possible. This is an Ultimate Universe, so there's nothing really set beyond the backstory beyond the loose concept of there having been a real Captain America whose existence was hidden by the government.
Speaking of which, in terms of any plans for any of that backstory, there are none. The backstory is where my part in crafting the game's setup ends and the player created continuity begins. So if anyone wants to do their own version of the JSA, The Invaders, Bucky Barnes, SHIELD, CADMUS, any of that, they're free to dabble.
So write your apps to your heart's content. The vetoing process of any details that seem off to the game's setting will only start once the OOC thread goes up and applications are put forth.

No, in this version, she's The Penguin. Oswald is actually Two-Face, and Dent? Well, let's just say he'll fill out a catsuit better in this game than most...

And yet I just can't seem to stop inventing new ways to kill those damned parents. I'm worse than Warner Bros.

Just when I deleted it all.
If it makes you feel any better, my Batman backstory was super barebones, and now I'm gonna have to rewrite it from scratch to make things a bit clearer. So I screwed myself as much as anyone. :P

So Minimum One, Maximum Four? Strictly Four? Or Minimum Four? Sorry to be a pain, just want to be sure I understand.
Maximim Four, Minimum One. If you want to leave things close to the chest, that's your perogative. I've got no issue with that.

Just a heads up, I'm changing the backstory requirement in the app from one paragraph to four, just to give people more freedom to flesh out their characters. I wanted to curttail the more masturbatory nature that these applications lend themselves to, but given that this is a Year One game that encourages straying from the beaten path, it might be beneficial to enforce the rule but in a looser sense to help people establish differences in how their characters got to where they are.
