This now a Spider-Man RP.

Let's get stupid.

That's how it always goes. Spider-Man and Batman the Roleplay.

T H E S T O R Y S O F A R... T H E S T O R Y S O F A R... ________________________________________________________________________________________ Ten years ago, Leonard Snart and Mick Rory were nothing but juvenile delinquents. The arrival of The Reach did nothing to stay their young anger and budding criminal activities. If anything, the sudden upheaval in society made it easier for the pair to get away with their petty antics. Five years ago, recent high school graduate Leonard picked up his best friend from a detention center where Mick had spent the last month. Tagging along was Leonard's younger sister, Lisa, who excitedly pointed out the brilliant light show in the sky above to the two hoodlums. They watched in stunned silence as the heavens exploded with The Reach's final 'gift' to humanity, bathing all three in cosmic warmth. One year ago, with dangerous rhetoric on the rise and hate crimes against metahumans becoming all-too-common, the trio made a decision: they would not be victims. Five months ago, three metahumans struck an Agency detainment facility in Central City where they stole classified military intel and freed an illegally imprisoned mutant, Roscoe Hynes. One month ago, Colonel Wade Eiling, commander of The Agency's Central City division, gave a press conference about the metahuman threat within the city and announced an increased military presence to combat this. Four unknown individuals, reported to be highly dangerous terrorists, were named as public enemy number one. Colonel Eiling swore that, one way or another, he would put an end to these metahuman Rogues. P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) ________________________________________________________________________________________ This RP has a unique premise and setting, and so I wanted to design a concept that doesn't merely exist within but exists because of the world. It wouldn't be fun to merely run a superhero that does general superhero things all while the country falls to fascism. In a world where the president is essentially enacting martial law and declaring war on metahumans, it would only be natural for certain metahuman elements to react. Realistically, it would be the roguish elements that would lash out first. Who better than to resist than the honorable Rogues themselves? The Rogues in this world never formed as villains because, simply, the heroes didn't exist in any meaningful form. Not until after the world was already changed, twice. Instead, their criminal behavior lies in their adolescences and as current enemies of the state. I intend to fully explore this premise of a United States falling to fascism, a purely fantastical concept never seen before in reality, and what resistance might actually look like in such a world. I have a general plot line for this team that can carry them through solo posts as well as collaborative ones, though Central City will be the primary backdrop for some time.

Okay. Let's talk.

First thing's first, we on the GM team owe everyone a major apology. We have not been very active in the last couple of months, and speaking for myself I have made promises for posts that never came to fruition. I'm not going to waste your time by offering the various justifications for this because we all know real life can hit us like a truck sometimes. Still, it was our responsibility to try to stay on top of things here, and we failed in that regard. That's on us, and we fully accept that.

That being said, seasons are changing and life is (knock on wood) getting somewhat back on track for the moment. I know for myself specifically, with the school year ending and my teaching responsibilities being nonexistent until summer school begins, I'll have much more time to refocus on this game. And all of us on the GM team are still interested in this concept, and have talked about trying to breathe some life back into it.

However, that's up to all of you. I'm going to be honest; it's been some time, things were slow to progress, and I understand there's a shiny new option on the Guild at the moment. So we all understand if those of you who had stuck around are experiencing waning interest. If that's the case with the majority of you, we'll accept it and hopefully revisit things in the future. But if most of you are still keen, and you're down for some renewed activity, then the GM team will immediately take some steps to liven things up. Including a potential recruitment drive and a new event.

So, we ask that all of you chime in and give your thoughts. Hit us with those yays and nays. Let us know if you honestly want to, and can invest the time/energy into, continuing.

MARVELS: Streets of New York

It was down for a bit today but only today for me.

Btw I have been in a slump for this RP and, admittedly, really frustrated, but I took some time and decided I wish to continue.

@PatientBean

I'm glad to hear that you want to continue. Things are much slower here than I would prefer, truth be told, but consistency and the desire to keep going is key.

<Snipped quote by Retired>

Yep, it was definitely down yesterday for a while! I was a bit worried it would have been guildfall 2 lol

@Half Pint

That's what I said the other day. For me, I couldn't gain access to the website since Saturday, so I was worried it was another Guildfall.

MARVELS: Streets of New York

Was the website down for everyone else the last couple of days?

MARVELS: Streets of New York

Sorry for seemingly ghosting for a bit. I've been dealing with some miserable shit lately and, honestly, have done absolute shit all recreationally the last couple of weeks as a result. I'll see about getting that long-ago-promised Black Cat post up later tonight.

I know things have been a little slow here, but seems like people are sticking with this, which is great, so something should be coming down the pipeline for you all soon.

MARVELS: Streets of New York

Sorry for the absence, I was dealing with some medical stuff recently. I've cleared out some time to write tomorrow.

Gonna try to Elektrapost tonight! Question time! If you could pick a second character to play, who would you go for? My pick would go to Hellcat.

@BoomBadaBing

My initial pick was going to be Punisher. I have a lot of stories to tell with the character, especially dealing with the sort of rampant corruption ongoing today. However, I don't feel like I could utilize Punisher in a way that didn't feel isolationist, and this game is all about collaborative efforts.

MARVELS: Streets of New York

I'll work on my next post this weekend. Also, I'll carve away some time to catch up on the IC as I am admittedly behind on others' posts.

MARVELS: Streets of New York

I would also say, don't be afraid to reach out to people directly if you're holding off posting for someone. It's much better to just send a message and check than to wait.

MARVELS: Streets of New York

I'm surprised I made it to my April break without getting sick. I was surrounded by ill students this last week.
