Vandy — Roleplayer Guild

Hello fellow DC comics fans, I noticed that there is at least one Marvel universe RP on the forums but there is sadly a lack of RP's centered around my favorite comic book universe. As we all know (assuming that we means current DC fans) DC comics has recently "rebooted" the universe in 2011 with the New 52. Now it seems that they might once again change the DCU as we know it. The New 52 is both good and bad depending on the individual book series. However for this RP we will be completely rebooting the entire DCU starting from scratch. Each player will initially take on one hero form the DCU of their choosing. Sidekicks will come later on meaning at the beginning of the RP there will be no Robin/Supergirl/Kid Flash type characters. Characters like Nightwing will also be off limits in the beginning because he was Robin first of course. Also villains such as Lex Luthor and the Joker will be played by the player taking on their heroes. (The player playing Batman will have all Batman villains to use in their character's multiple arcs.) We will create engaging stories using our characters and each character's backstory is up to the player as long as it makes sense for the character. (Superman is from Krypton and Batman's parents are dead. However are Ma and Pa Kent still alive? Is Alfred an old man or Bruce's childhood friend? That's up to you!) If you want to be the Green Lantern, are you Hal Jordan or Jon Stewart? Basically play the character how you want to play them. We will start off pre-justice league. Your character's first arc will be the beginning of their crime fighting career, all characters will therefore start off very young (18-24) and will not yet be all powerful or have all of their gadgets. Meaning Superman just moved to Metropolis and is fighting bad guys in blue-jeans and a t-shirt. The police will see us as dangerous vigilantes causing more trouble than we are fixing. Feel free to do cross-overs and team ups with other players however the first world threatening event will not come until all characters have completed at least their introductory arc. When this event happens (I have plans of course) is when the Justice League will form for the first time and then afterwards we can really go off and establish our selves as super heroes and not city bound vigilantes. Also a player can take on multiple characters after 3 IC posts of their initial character. Sidekicks however will not come in until after our first Justice League event. Now I believe that's everything, I will put up the OOC/IC thread once I get at least three other people interested and I will further expand on the idea and setting of our world. Also I will be playing as Superman but any other character is up for grabs. If multiple players want to play the same character, I and the players not wanting to play said character will will take a vote on who should play them based on the character sheet of each interested player.
