Since awakening strange cosmic powers from a device called the Psyche-Magnetron, Carol Danvers has done her best to do right by the people of Earth–and anyone in the greater cosmos that doesn’t have someone to protect them. It’s been a tough job, but it has been her duty.

The years since the Chitauri Invasion of Earth have not been easy. After helping fend off the alien invasion, Carol found herself as one of the central members of a defensive initiative that would come to be known as the Avengers. However, as the years would come and go Carol would find herself struggling to deal with her own mental alacrity and her role as a protector of Earth when her Kree heritage dragged her several galaxies away at a time, dealing with crisis after crisis. Some of them inherent to the danger of Earth and some of them not. It begs the question as she gets older, a question that has been asked by her friends in the United States military. How can she be the protector of Earth when she’s three galaxies away solving an intergalactic crisis or fending off a cosmic horror?

The last time I played Carol Danvers she was mostly relegated to Earth stories and I’ve been in a particular science fiction sort of mood in recent weeks. As I’m getting back into a writing groove I’m hoping this won’t come across too clumsy as well. I’ve looked at some of the modern rewrites with Carol between the 616 and MCU as well as thought about how I’d interpret some of her rogues, their space empires, and everything inbetween. As it appears we are getting a few space-faring heroes this’ll also allow me to not be completely isolated going forward.

I'm not particularly good most of the time at planning fifteen arcs in advance, so consider that most of the below will be constantly developing as ideas come-and-go and as they happen in my posts throughout the role-play. 

2010 - Carol Danvers encounters the Psyche-Magnetron and wakes up in a Kree Medical Facility on Hala. She learns of the Greater Universe and the strange powers the now destroyed device had supposedly given her.

2011 - Carol is thrust into intergalactic conflicts when a plan by the Skrulls implicates the Kree in the destruction of a Shi’ar fortress. War is avoided, though Carol is firmly placed in the galactic consciousness as a result.

2018 - The Avengers battle Graviton on Earth while Carol fends off a Zn'rx invasion on a distant planet.

Galen-Kor - A Kree military official Carol has had to work with in the past.

Jessica Drew - Carol’s closest friend (and biggest critic) within the United States government, an agent of SHIELD who as of recently has become disturbed with the escalating anti-mutant sentiment growing in the United States. 

Dr. Michael Barnett - Operating out of New York City, Dr. Barnett serves as Carol's therapist and psychologist when the need arises.

Minn-Erva - A Kree scientist who is responsible for a lot of the current developments of Kree weapons, often cold and aloof with Carol due to her involvement with Kree politics. The two tolerate one another.

William Bridges - One of Carol's former mentors while she worked within the American military and currently an operational advisor of the Avengers Initiative.

Cal'syee / Deathbird - The daughter of Majestor Neramani of the Shi’ar, Cal'syee has sworn revenge against her sister and the current Majestrix of the Shi’ar Empire. Carol has worked with her, begrudgingly, in the past to halt the Shi’ar’s plans for intergalactic conquest.

Ronan the Accuser - A Kree fanatic who is one of the most intelligent tacticians that the empire has produced. He does view Carol as part of the empire and there have been very violent disagreements between the two in the past. Carol suspects he is the greatest danger to the Kree, though she has yet been able to prove his intentions are dubious.

Titannus / The Super-Skrull - A Skrull without the ability to shapeshift who was sent to the Milky Way to pull Carol Danvers away from Kree space to enact their plans.

The following is something I just decided to draw up, haha:

Prev | Next

It had been close to ten years since Carol had talked to her father. 

Part of her thought it hadn’t been long enough. Another part screamed at her for being a bad daughter. Another part made a snide comment about Joe’s ability as a father. It was like a Three Stooges play in her head, only far more gloomy and melodramatic. But that was Carol’s relationship with her father.

She never really came to terms with her feelings and the two of them never really could have that honest conversation she had hoped for before she went off on her own. There was always that nagging in the back of her head, like a mixtape on loop–repeating the ‘greatest hits’ of her life. The smashed glass of a bottle of whiskey on the kitchen floor. The yelling, the terrible incomprehensible yelling. The rambling about her mother leaving them without a care in the world. It was classic misogyny wrapped up in a bow of remorse and confusion. Her brothers didn’t know how to deal with it, so all Carol could do was one of two options: stare it back in the face and deal with the consequences or go somewhere else until the tantrum was over and the alcohol finally let him sleep.

Sometimes she’d be entire galaxies away and his god damn echo would be there, behind her, and she’d feel like she was ten years old again. It was a rotten feeling. She hated it. Wanted nothing to do with it.

She never thought she’d actually be back home to see him. She felt small, but she also knew this was her last chance for some kind of closure. Some kind of talk. 

She sighed to herself, “I guess I'm on my way back home. Whether I like it or not.”
