Young Justice Renegades: A Team Worth Dying For

@Lord Wraith

I didn't watch all of Once Upon a Time, but I watched the first couple of seasons and man, Rumple had to be my favourite character.

What rules?

@Lord Wraith

The very limited rules.

Magic always has rules.

Rules make fun more accessible.

Just brushing up on my knowledge on the rules of DC magic.

No no, I made her cookies. No one has made me cookies.

@Lord Wraith

Well I've not seen you this excited for a while. That was my point.

Young Justice Renegades: A Team Worth Dying For

I came here to chew bubble gum and post memes.

And I'm all out of bubble gum.

@Lord Wraith

I haven't seen you this excited since that time that lady from church made you cookies.

Rogue Continuum: The Singularity Crisis (A DC and Marvel RP)

Maybe I should clarify something. I thought that the title specifying this as a DC/Marvel roleplay would encourage people to stick close to those sources, but that was my mistake.

<Snipped quote>

This line was more so meant to preempt questions regarding properties like Hellboy, TMNT, Invincible, GI Joe etc. Not properties like MtG or Ben 10 or things that are not classic superhero genre comic lines. This is, after all, stated to be a DC/Marvel comics game.

While I am absolutely willing to consider characters from comics outside of DC/Marvel, please keep in mind that the intent of this game's narrative is to lean heavily into both of those sources. And, as stated in the opening post, I am more likely to accept characters of those publishers.

If you want to apply as a character from an Image comic who is native to a purely Image comic reality, that is fine. If you want to take an aspect from a Dark Horse comic and blend it into a reality that is mostly Marvel, that is great. If you want to apply as a movie character who just so happens to be sucked into Mojoworld and exposed to the multiverse... probably less than ideal.

I should have stressed this more from the getgo, so this is on me, but I want to make sure everyone interested knows that this is designed to be almost entirely DC/Marvel based with some smaller hints and appearances from outside properties. It's why I have DC/Marvel in the title. It seems right now that people are taking that one sentence from the opening post and running away with it, which is great that you're all psyched about the concept, but I think you're focusing too much on that one small detail.

If you see this RP concept and are only interested because you'll have a chance to play someone outside of DC/Marvel in this type of game, odds are this isn't going to be the RP for you. I highly recommend that everyone keep in mind that this is, at its core, a DC/Marvel RP.

Hey I'm cool with this, I mainly got excited about properties outwith as I was reading last night on nightshift and am running on a combination of low sleep and vaccine ickyness. I have ideas based around Marvel/DC.

| Character Identity |

| Age |

| Character Differences |
What, if anything, makes this character different and/or unique from most canon interpretations. Note any major changes that stand out from mainstream counterparts, power and skillset alterations, altered public or secret persona, etc.

| Brief World Background |
Just a brief blurb, a few paragraphs at most, on what about this reality makes it different than others. What changes in mainstream comic or real-world established history, what major events did or did not occur, what the current hero landscape looks like, etc. Please also include whether or not this is a universe comprised of solely Marvel or DC property, or a blended world. If they are an alien, while you may note changes to both worlds, I would primarily want to know about their Earth.

| Brief Character Background |
Similar to the above section, just a few paragraphs at most on the character's personal history. Note their experiences, any life-defining events, and where/what they were doing the moment they were abducted. This will have been during a moment where they were distracted or unawares, and alone/unseen. Whether sleeping, during a major conflict, after an exhausting battle, etc. If your character isn't originally from Earth, make sure they were present on Earth during their abduction and for several weeks beforehand. Likewise, if you could include a sentence or two on their experience since their captivity. For these characters, they would have been slaves anywhere from a few days with no experience in death games to a few months with a handful of experiences. Do not hesitate to ask questions if you need more details.

@RetiredI might go the Skulduggery route, as the underground world of magic can fit into Marvel/DC more easily.

Are you talking blending SG-1 into the typical comic worlds of DC and Marvel, or taking SG-1 straight from their 'real world' Earth and throwing them into the madness of comic lore?

@Retired

I feel like the real-world SG-1 into the madness of comic book lore would be interesting. I might toy with the former idea though.

In terms of the former, it was just an idea that popped into my head (as I was reading last night). In that, the Skulduggery Pleasant books really have a similar tone to a lot of comic book properties. There is one point through a couple of books where it turns out he's way more powerful as he has basically an alter-ego with incredibly powerful necromancy where he was the Deathbringer and could essentially slay an entire battlefield solo but I wasn't going to include this aspect, depending on the power level of the cast.

Entirely as good as powered ones. Last go around I initially accepted a campy version of Batman and a 'reformed' Norman Osborn in the Iron Patriot suit. Both opposite ends of the non-powered spectrum. Being a survivor in Mojo's death games as someone without powers leads to a lot of potential character development, I feel.

One of the most important things to keep in mind when coming up with a concept is that these characters will be part of a team. An impromptu, forced-together group, but still a team. So characters that don't fit into team settings or can succeed against anything by their lonesomes are risky to apply for. When it comes time to choose final contenders, I'm going to be looking for characters that can fit together as a unit. When I am judging an application, I am looking for which characters will best work together collectively from a narrative standpoint. Powersets, personalities, home dimensions, tone, etc. I am aiming to avoid both a team comprised of entirely clashing concepts as well as completely identical ones.

So long as that is kept in mind during character creation, I think you'll be golden.

The reason I am avoiding giving a hard set list of "do this" and "don't do that" is that that takes away from the openness of the roleplay, and that is a core aspect when it comes to character design. I encourage freedom in the process. Just make sure common sense is applied with that freedom, y'know?

@Retired

My two main ideas are the use of SG-1, or by bringing in Skulduggery Pleasant (obviously for review/consideration, I'm just letting you know where my heads at so if its an instant no nobodies time is wasted)
