Blight aka Derek Powers is McGiniss' arch-enemy. He killed Terry's "father".. I don't know how much he cares about him now since Bruce Wayne is his actual father. But Powers did have Terry's father killed. They used the Jokers calling card to cover the whole thing up. Also you could use Inque.. Terry has it out for her because he has never defeated his on her own. Inque was always defeated by someone else, not by McGiniss himself. Twice by Wayne, once by Superman, and once by her own daughter. The Royal Flush gang would be cool, but remember.. Ten is to Terry just like Catwoman is to Bruce.

That is true, its just Blight to my memory hasnt made lots of appearances (outside the show aswell) i mean he was there and all but i just cant remember him doing dastardly deeds all the time but maybe i just forgot.

Inque, very true i just never really liked Inque i just saw wasted potential but i guess thats coz i thought she should have been more darker.

Royal Flush Gang/Ten i just really would like to explore that whole sceneraio i mean the potential do to something great is there.

Spellbinder could also be done, while not exactly an arch nemisis he could be good for plot devices

Well, thinking about it, idk how well Blight would fit considering he was just the head of a company, and one which Batman is in control of in present times. I think the Royal Flush Gang would be interesting so perhaps one of the groups of villians we face is the past and present Royal Flush Gangs who have teamed up. I could see that as a good storyline.

Also, Kuuaga {GZR}. I look foward to reading your profile if and when you post one!

You could always do the creation of The Royal Flush Gang (Beyond Version). I mean, if you have Terry in this RPG, you're already dealing with Alternate Realities/Time Travel. You could have the RFG show up NOT as the RFG, but as some random Street Punk Gang. They meet Joker in his prime and are inspired by his controlled chaos and they adopt his look, becoming The Royal Flush Gang. So, basically, Terry would witness the formation and creation of the Gang that has caused him so many problems in his time frame. *shrugs* Just something I came up with reading your back-and-forth discussion here.

ImBillPardy

01-07-2010, 05:27 AM

lol, its not a bad theory the only problem is Royal Flush Gang has been around for a long time. I think that since Royal Flush Gang is always family the two from each time period meeting could be quite cool.

Revan

01-07-2010, 05:51 AM

So I have a question, can we also include characters from the Marvel vs. DC comic? There were amalgam versions mixing a marvel and dc character together in that. Like there was SuperSpider which was superboy and spiderman mixed...idk just wondering....

I definitely want to join this RPG, just figuring out who to be :]

ImBillPardy

01-07-2010, 08:52 AM

Darkclaw pawns any other amalgam character!

Revan

01-07-2010, 09:42 AM

-Oh yeah Darkclaw is sick. I've seen cosplay versions of his costume that were amazing!

-Two Royal Flush gangs, that is a really cool idea. I always thought Batman Beyonds biggest nemesis was the revived joker, but that wouldn't work in this story obviously.

-So, I posted a bio for Scarlet Spider. I somewhat changed his origins around a bit timeline wise. Also he hasn't died yet like in the Marvel timeline, for obvious reasons.

- But if that amalgam idea is possible, I'd still love to make a bio for one of those characters.

(and yes that was an ADD post)

Question

01-08-2010, 03:25 AM

...I thought I was the only Scarlet Spider fan around here.

That makes me happy.

I want to apply, I just don't know who I want to apply *as*. Batman was my first choice, but for obvious reasons, not an option now.

Shadow Ranger

01-08-2010, 03:37 AM

Q - Yeah Batman was my first choice too. I figured Iron Man was going to be the closest to Batman I could get. :p

Bill - I wasn't aware the RFG from Beyond were direct descendants of the original. Very interesting and would be very cool if they met. :)

Question

01-08-2010, 03:49 AM

...if I applied as Robin, would I get to pick which one?

Damien Wayne is awesome.

Revan

01-08-2010, 04:24 AM

Oh man...Damien....what about Nightwing though? hes at least an adult and he has issues with bruce that would be interesting..

Question

01-08-2010, 04:51 AM

I'm not huge on Nightwing.

I'm honestly not even sure I want to play Damien, as much as I do love him.

I might actually go original character.

Revan

01-08-2010, 04:56 AM

Hmm, I was thinking about going amalgam....if that works for this RPG.

Oh and Scarlet spider is so awesome. I really felt like he should have lived instead of spidey! ha

Shadow Ranger

01-08-2010, 10:04 AM

I was considering Nightwing when I was trying to decide who to play. I was also considering Green Lantern (Hal Jordan), but I thought he might be considered one of those Heroes too powerful to be there from the beginning and I didn't want to have to sit out for a good portion of the RPG. You know... one of you guys could go Marvel just to even things out. :p

Question

01-08-2010, 03:51 PM

That's the thing.

There *is* a lot of DC going on, but I don't read a whole lot of Marvel. I suppose Captain America would be cool enough. I just don't know him, and would probably end up playing some kind of parody of him.

Revan

01-08-2010, 05:22 PM

Captain America would be good, so would Ghost Rider or Daredevil. Maybe Moonknight?

Question

01-08-2010, 05:46 PM

Molly Hayes?

Eleven year old girl with mutant superstrength.

I do loves me some Runaways.

Revan

01-08-2010, 06:00 PM

I have no clue how that is hahah but yeah sure..

Shadow Ranger

01-08-2010, 11:59 PM

You could always play Wolverine? He's not that hard a character to play. He's short, bad attitude, Canadian, says 'bub' all the time, has Adamantium Claws and a Mutant Healing Factor and Heightened Senses, has nearly the Martial Arts skill of a Ninja, and never kills.

Or even Hulk. Again, not that hard to play. Giant, green, scientific genius, and crushes things with his bare hands.

*shrugs* Just some suggestions. Not sure how much Marvel you read, Q. Just remember, Wikipedia is your friend. ;)

GoldPhoenixRanger

01-09-2010, 12:23 AM

These are all good ideas! Personally Question, I think Wolverine would fit better.

However, I am willing to make a deal, since I know you will do an awesome job. If you create a good profile, I will allow you to play Batman and take another character myself, since you as Batman would be awesome now that I think about it.

Plus I think Q as B-man and Shadow as I-man will be the funniest shit we've ever seen (B-man the straight but funny guy, Ironman sarcastic and witty), knowing how they will play the characters. Plus, you can work out the whole deal with Future Batman and maybe a little rivralry with the other Billionare playboy on the block (Stark).

Let me know, I'll start looking for a back-up character.

-GPR

Evil Ranger

01-09-2010, 05:23 PM

hmmm I'll have to give this some thought... But does it have to a pure Marvel / DC char or can it be based on one?

Accel

01-09-2010, 08:17 PM

What about Thor

Question

Nah. Don't get me wrong, the offer's greatly appreciated, but I'm about to play a thinly veiled Batman ripoff in a soon to be starting D&D game IRL.

I do think I've picked someone, though. I'm going with either Zatanna (http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Zatanna) or Nico Minoru (http://marvel.wikia.com/Nico_Minoru_%28Earth-616%29). Zatanna's my very favorite heroine ever, but Nico would be representin' some Marvel love. I'll have a bio up very likely tomorrow.

Man, though, how cool would it be to get three other RPers to go in with me on the Fantastic Four?

Shadow Ranger

01-11-2010, 02:57 AM

Man, though, how cool would it be to get three other RPers to go in with me on the Fantastic Four?

If you could manage to do that, I'd want Sue Storm-Richards. ;)

Geki Viper -- Assuming you get the role of Superman, could I persuade you to play Lex Luthor as well as Braniac? (If GPR will allow it.) I was kinda hoping whoever took Superman (if someone took Superman) would take Luthor so Stark would have a worthy business adversary in the bid for control of New Metropolis. :) By the way, brilliant move in choosing Braniac for Superman's Nemesis. That should prove interesting.

Question

01-11-2010, 03:02 AM

I should probably call preemptive dibs on Reed Richards, just in case, huh?

GoseiManta

01-11-2010, 05:11 AM

@The Grand Kage:
Hey, have you given any thought to Black Panther?

GoldPhoenixRanger

01-11-2010, 05:55 AM

I don't see anything wrong with multiple characters if you guys want to do that, as long as it doesnt get too confusing. I could play either of the others, though idk which one suits me best. Probably Johnny Storm. Although, I kind of wanted Green Lantern too. Eh, the team is more important.

Oh, btw, everyone who posted a profile is in because they are all great. Check CC for details.

-GPR

Revan

01-11-2010, 07:31 AM

I really think that the fantastic four is a great idea, Doom would probably be a key villain anyways, having them there would add to the story. I could do another character as well, I was thinking maybe the newest Blue Beetle or maybe or ShatterStar from X-men. But if you need a fantastic four member, I could play Ben Grimm /The Thing, even if I dont know too much about him im sure it wouldnt be that difficult.

Btw, thanks GPR for letting me in.

Mr. Kage

01-11-2010, 08:29 AM

Back @ Geki, I am going with Daredevil, Bio will be up tomorrow, got a half day at work

ImBillPardy

01-11-2010, 08:46 AM

Daredevil awesome choice, love Daredevil!

As for why Terry is no longer in the future i was thinking that the Royal Flush Gang try to steal something like a Flux Caspsitator or something and TK (Tomorrow Knight to avoid confusion with GPR) would come in start kicking ass then during the fight the gadget gets activated which happens at the same time as the merger as a result they all get sent back to the present day!

and if we can have two characters i shotgun Deadpool!

Evil Ranger

01-11-2010, 01:23 PM

How long will the casting call remain open? I am thinking / doubting about Blade or Morbious... But I have an examen the day after tomorrow so I don't know if I will be able to finish the bio on time.

Well, you could always borrow from the current time-line of comic books and suggest that Black Beetle Jaime Rayes' nemesis has been defeated sometime before the story begins. The black scarab has come to Wayne Corp. to be torn apart, and reverse engineered. Luthor Corp. has hired the Royal Flush gang to go after the Black Scarab wanting to reverse engineer the black scarab for their own profits.
Terry intercepts the Royal Flush gang as they break into Wayne Corp., and the Scarab's time travel function is activated as the cosmic energy waves from the merger of the universes wash over the damaged Scarab. Thus throwing Terry, and the Royal Flush gang back in time, along with the Black Scarab. Which is either lost in the past having split off after the time vortex was opened. Or it arrives in the past merged on the back of Terry, thus giving him the ability to return home at the end of the story, taking the Royal Flush back with him.

GoldPhoenixRanger

01-11-2010, 02:57 PM

I'm not going to bother closing the CC just yet, since profiles are still coming in, but I would like to accentuate something:

There are a lot of members here already and more seem to be coming, so please stay active. Too many members is often a death sentence for many RPG's and I don't want this game to come to that. If I have to, I will divide us up into teams and have multiple storylines going at once. We can then all meet later on or something. I think this will help keep everyone active and keep the game moving.

Question

01-11-2010, 03:46 PM

I thought it would be cool to get three people to do the Fantastic Four with me.

If it happens, I call dibs on Mr. Fantastic, and Shadow Ranger wanted Sue Storm-Richards.

If you thought SR and I playing Iron Man and Batman would be awesomely funny, imagine us playing a married couple.

Revan

01-11-2010, 03:47 PM

Spaceghost!!!!! He would be interesting to see someones take on him. I think no one's playing deadpool yet because they would have to have his snappy one liners all the time, he's constant comedy.

Also lest ye not forget:
http://www.samruby.com/Heroes/HowardTheDuck/HowardTheDuck.gif

Also DC owns Image comics so thats TMNT, Youngblood, Witchblade,Darkness, Invincible and Spawn......oh man....Idk who I want to be now...

GoseiManta

01-11-2010, 03:51 PM

I would, but I have three majors under my belt at the moment. I didn't think of the Fantastic Four. I've played Ben Grimm before, that was fun. =\
Ah well, give it time.

Shadow Ranger

01-11-2010, 08:11 PM

Hey Q, it looks like we have more than enough people willing to bust out the FF. GPR said he'd play Johnny and Mr. Batman Beyond (sorry forgot your name atm) said he'd play Ben or if we can convince him, Geki Viper. Wanna go for it? Since you'd be playing Reed and you don't really have a Nemesis for Nico, I think you should also play Doom. Doom and Mandarin would make a formidable pair. ;) Not to mention Reed Richards would be one of Tony Stark's most loyal allies since he spear-headed the Superhero Registration Act (or whatever it's called) with Tony. ;) Anyway, let me know. I can pump out a bio for Sue.

GPR - I think you got Q's character backward. I believe Nico is her real name and Sister Grimm is her "hero" name.

Yeah, if GPR's down for it, I'd love to get this motley crew going as the Fab Four!

...!

Awesome!

Yeah, if GPR's down for it, I'd love to get this motley crew going as the Fab Four!

You know, I just did a quick count of heroes so far and, assuming DD and Deadpool get accepted, the FF would outbalance 9-4 in favor of Marvel. I don't know who GPR has in mind to be the main bad guy for this RPG. I think we should let him make the final say as to whether we bust out the FF or not.

Oh and GPR, you mentioned posting stuff regarding storylines and stuff for the RPG. It's kinda hard to do that when we don't know what you had in mind already. I mean, I kinda set up a New Metropolis and a bid for power there with the corporations. And if TGK gets DD accepted, we'll have Kingpin to deal with so that will be pretty cool. Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne one side with Lex Luthor and Wilson Fisk (that's Kinpin's Real Name, btw TGK ;) ) on the other. And The Mandarin waiting in the wings to pick up the pieces. ;) Aside from that little sub-story, I didn't really have anything else in mind. I was just going to wait and see what you had planned and go from there.

Evil Ranger

01-14-2010, 01:25 PM

I just posted my bio.

Now in case I get in:

Note that I have replaced the Nemesis part by a quest. I am wrote the bio so Wayne/Batman would be his mentor. So my first question would be if that's okay by GPR and my second would be if there might be others who feel that their char would be suited for the mentor role and are willing to play it?

Question

01-14-2010, 04:22 PM

A lot of people seem to be going Marvel.

I might switch to a DC character soon.

Revan

01-14-2010, 07:01 PM

I was thinking about that too, as much as I like scarlet spider, hes kinda of bland for this. I'm looking up characters as we speak.

Shadow Ranger

01-15-2010, 03:38 AM

Wow that's a Hell of a concept, Evil. I wouldn't mind if Leo ended up on Tony's doorstep if you get accepted. Since Tony's a "corrupt politician," he could learn a lot about the corruptibility of government and leadership and the old adage, "Power Corrupts, But Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely."

GoldPhoenixRanger

01-15-2010, 05:21 AM

Ok, I've been a bit to lax with this game of late, so let me get in gear and sort this mess out:

1) I've decided that based on the number of players, it will be best if secondary characters are not allowed for the time being. We may be able to work some in later, but for now it would be too hectic. The lone exception is Gekiviper's Lex Luthor, as he needs a character to play until Superman comes in later.

2) The rest of you that posted profiles are in as long as you stay active. Unlike most RPG's, I have no problem killing characters instaneously without warning if they become too inactive. That goes for everyone.

3) Now we need some storylines. I think I will have multiple storylines going at once, and each will have a member in charge of them (assuming the members I select agree to it). First off, here is the full member listing:

1. Batman (Bruce Wayne) - Played by GoldPhoenixRanger
2. Batman Beyond (Terry McGuinnis) - Played by ImBillPardy
3. Iron Man (Anthony "Tony" Stark) - Played by Shadow Ranger
4. Scarlet Spider (Ben Riley) - Played by Revan
5. Superman (Clark Kent/Kal-El) - Played by GekiViper
6. Nico Minoru (Sister Grimm) - Played by Question
7. Daredevil (Matt Murdock) - Played by The Grand Kage
8. Moon Knight (Marc Spector) - Played by The Doctor
9. Dark Leo (Leo, son of Lion-O) - Played by Evil Ranger

Now then...if anyone changes characters, please let me know. The current ratio is Marvel - 6 DC - 3 so its a bit uneven but thats ok.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Now then, here are my proposed storylines to start this out:

A) Bats, Cats, and a Royal Flush - Batman awakens and discovers the changed world. He immediatley heads to the Batcave to check on the world and finds all the changes. He has no idea what has happened but decides that he must survey Gotham City (now a merger of Gotham and Chicago, but keeping the name because those two wont merge well). However, before he can leave, Alfred discovers Leo at the front door and brings him to the Batcave. Leo introduces himself and explains his need for training and such. Batman then finds him a human disguise. The Batcave alarm goes off and they find what appear to be two Royal Flush Gangs robbing Gotham First National, taking advantage of everyones disorientation. Batman and Leo head to the scene but find another Batman (Terry) already fighting them. The three team up and beat the Royal Flush Gang, but they escape and so the three heroes return to the Batcave, and begin a search for the missing crooks and also to find information about the changed world, both as heroes, and as their alter-ego's. [Led by GPR]

2) I don't have names for others and don't want to go too far as there seem to be character changes in the works, but I'd like a story in which Lex Luthor meets for buisness discussions with Kingpin. This could be the set up for a major villian plan for us to battle later. During this, Tony Stark could be spying on them, or could enter the meeting either to meet incognito or just bust in in costume and beat them up, though I think the first one works best. After the meeting, Tony contacts Bruce Wayne to discuss what he learned and what they can do about it. I also foresee Luthor dealing with Raoul Bushman at some point too.[Run by Shadow Ranger]

3) I can't think of much here, but I think if they stay that Scarlet Spider, Moon Knight, and Nico should meet up somewhere in New Metroplis, perhaps fighting bad guys, and discuss what they can do in this new world. Perhaps they can spy on Luthor/Kingpin's meeting as well. [Run by Question]

4) The Mandarin will definatley come in later to "pick up the pieces" as Shadow put it, but that will be a storyline down the road.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, thats all I have for now. If anyone has further ideas to develop this, then please throw them out there so we can build upon them.

I also want to point out, with the ratio mentioned above, we only need one person to change from Marvel to DC or things will be thrown off the other way. Question and Revan, please speak to each other and decide which of you will change.

I'm liking the ideas so far GPR. I'll start working on some ideas tomorrow. And I'm sticking with Scarlet Spider lol

Evil Ranger

01-15-2010, 08:37 AM

Quick addition: His hero outfit is the same as on the picture but in darkblue/gray (matching batman), a matching lion mask and the Thundercats symbol on his belt.

The Sword of Omens gives him a morph like function from human form to his thundercat form armed in his hero outfit. In both form the sword is hidden within the glove, but when human he has a watch that serves as the Eye of Thundera. (to warn him and allow him to morf by touching it.)

@ Shadow Ranger: Thx, I actually remade the char several times. I started out using Lionn-O himself as my char but that just didn't work for me somehow.... I am going to stick Bruce as main mentor because I am rather a fan the Dark Nights way of thinking but I'll make sure Leo drops by Tony on a regular base ;)

A suggestion: maybe Lex Luthor can become intrigued by the Eye of Thundera and it's power now he doesn't has Superman around to stalk? Orange Lantern vs Thundercat would be sweet :p

01-15-2010, 05:47 PM

Before any big storylines start, if it's okay with you GPR I think I might wanna change characters. I mostly chose Moon Knight because I like his motif and powers. But truthfully I don't know much about him as a character, so I'm not sure how well I could portray him.

Thats really up to you Doctor. Question is alredy changing brands, so if you want to change then thats fine, but sticking with Marvel would be appreciated if possible. If not then we can work it out. To be honest I don't know much about Moon Knight either, aside from what I've observed in Spiderman: Web of Shadows on PS3. Let me know what you decide.

GoldPhoenixRanger

01-15-2010, 05:51 PM

Doctor - Yea, thats fine. I can edit your CC post with the new profile later.

Shadow Ranger

01-16-2010, 02:28 AM

Storylines sound good, GPR. I can't wait to see who or what you've chosen as the Main Villain. :) One thing, though, I was hoping we could work in The Daily (The Daily Planet/Bugle) as a focal point in the business war in New Metropolis. Like maybe it's what draws the heroes together? Like Tony realizes he can't take on both Luthor AND Kingpin alone. He meets Lois at The Daily and she decides to call in "a friend" who is as powerful as Luthor, Kingpin, and Tony in the business world to help Tony. That friend, of course, is Bruce. ;) I don't know, just something I came up with off the top of my head.

Revan

01-16-2010, 04:18 AM

Ooo thats definitely an interesting idea, I also remember reading a the Marvel/DC crossover and there was a twinge of attraction between Lois and Peter Parker, maybe this would be the same with Ben Reilly? idk just throwing out ideas.

Shadow Ranger

01-16-2010, 07:04 PM

Well seeing as how Superman is "lost in space," Lois probably wouldn't be dating anyone so... yeah an attraction to Ben Reilly is possible. But I would clear it with Superman himself first. ;)

GoseiManta

01-16-2010, 07:10 PM

I'm not partial. I don't think this Clark will have time for Lois. Lol. Have at it. She's spunky and fun, I just think Clark is going to stay on New Krypton when things pan out.

01-16-2010, 07:17 PM

Just so you guys know, I decided to go with Wonder Woman for my DC character. I should have it ready to PM to you soon, GPR, if you want to start the game in the meantime.

GoldPhoenixRanger

01-16-2010, 07:41 PM

Ok cool Question. I have to go out for a bit but when I get home tonight, I'll try to make time to work out some further storylines and get things moving.

Great ideas everyone!

Question

01-16-2010, 10:38 PM

Quick suggestion, feel free to tell me how you guys feel: I have Ares, Greek god of War/Death, as Wonder Woman's nemesis. How about Bushman and Kaine being tapped by Ares, looking to seed some conflict and war in this new combined Earth? They seem like the sort of generals Ares would tap, and a newly combined Earth would set all sorts of seeds of future conflict.

edit: No more Moon Knight, so... whoever's The Doctor's nemesis?

The Doctor

01-16-2010, 10:40 PM

Well Raoul Bushman was Moon Knight's nemesis. But if you still wanna involve him in the game that's all well and good. Iceman's nemesis is Pyro lol.

Revan

01-16-2010, 11:50 PM

Hmm well Kaine would definitely be interested in that.

GoldPhoenixRanger

01-17-2010, 10:09 PM

Ok, so with the new characters, here are the storylines we need to organize:

1) Bats, Cats, and a Royal Flush (ready to go)

2) Ben Riley goes to The Daily to try and find out whats happening, meets Lois Lane somehow....perhaps gets a job there?

3) Fisk and Luthor have a meeting regarding how they can combine their forces to take control of the city's underworld and therein the city itself. Of course, both have plans to stab each other in the back and the earliest possible opportunity. Tony Stark can either meet with them openly or spy on them. Either way, he will then somehow meet up with Bruce Wayne and form a buisness alliance. The way this happens is up to you Shadow. Also, we need to figure out how the Mandrin can be involved.

4) Wonder Woman, Iceman, and Daredevil need storylines, so I'm open to ideas.

5) Ares recruits Raoul Bushman and Kaine to be his Generals in his attempt to bring major War back to the world so that the people of Earth will worship him again and so he can therefore become Godly again. This can lead to general chaos and be a second major source of battles, along with the combined forces of Kingpin and Luthor.

Also, I'm thinking that Pyro seems like the kind of guy Kingpin would use as hired muscle for whatever he plans to do, so perhaps he can be worked in that way. I'll open story threads once we have at least one decent storyline for each character.

-GPR

Question

01-17-2010, 10:12 PM

Are we still using Bushman? I only ever mentioned him because he was Moon Knight's nemesis, before I saw that Doc had changed characters.

GoldPhoenixRanger

01-17-2010, 10:35 PM

Well, he's still a Marvel character and he fits in with your original plan so I don't see why we can't use him anyway, even without Moon Knight. Plus he can contact Luthor perhaps and we can work him in that way as well.

-GPR

Mr. Kage

01-17-2010, 10:41 PM

Well Kingpin is set up and Dare Devil well who knows, he will appear when and where you least expect it. muwhahahahahaha, lol

Evil Ranger

01-17-2010, 10:43 PM

For the enemies of Daredevil, ICeman and Wonderwoman I might have a suggestion.

I would not mind playing the League of Shadows from Batman Begins (with a link to the immortal version in the comicbooks) as an additional enemy. The idea would be that Ra's al Ghul was immortal long before he met and trained Bruce Wayne (it just didn't came up during their encounters before). After his failed attempt to destroy Gotham the League of Shadows was crippled in resources and manpower so Ra fell back in the shadows himself.

Now he has a newly trained army and a revived global network/facilities. All he needed was a new opportunity to learn humanity another lesson in humbleness. The fusion of the worlds gave him a new view. He saw this a chance to destroy all superheroes and villains while bringing forth one or more global catastrophe that would bring mankind to it's knees, giving the League of Shadows to rebuild a new world order from the ashes (or to see another one raise to replace the old but keeping it in check from behind the scenes).

This way it would not be the good guys vs evil guys but more a triangle where you have good vs evil and the league of shadows vs both of them.

Ra's forces would infiltrate and help both out sides as they see fit to suit their own final goal. Possible he can team up with Ares at certain times.

GoldPhoenixRanger

01-17-2010, 10:47 PM

Not bad, except Wonder Woman's enemy is Ares, who is the main guy in the other storyline. Otherwise, I like it. As long as Grand Kage and The Doctor agree to it, then I don't have a problem.

-GPR

Evil Ranger

01-17-2010, 10:59 PM

It wouldn't be something permanent, it would be more like Ra tricking/manipulate Ares or helping him to create a situation that he needs to create his own doomsday scenario.

And this way we can create situations where the hero's have to doubt if they want to team up with Ra to stop the KingPin and Lex knowing that Ra's only motivation is something in the nature of "I need you guys alive for the moment. Can't have you all pushing up daisies just yet"

Mr. Kage

01-17-2010, 10:59 PM

So Daredevil would be apart of this league secretly while he worked with the others then?

GoldPhoenixRanger

01-17-2010, 11:03 PM

I dont think thats what he meant, he was addressing the villians of those heroes, namley Ares, Kingpin, and Pyro. In other words, for a period, Ra's would namipulate the other villian groups into doing what he wanted so he could achieve his ultimate goal.

-GPR

Mr. Kage

01-17-2010, 11:12 PM

Alright then, sounds good, I am ok with that.

Evil Ranger

01-17-2010, 11:24 PM

I'll give an example to be more clear.

In a first step Ra tips the Kingpin/Lex about several new technologies and a possible usefull combination. Let's say forcefield technology an army research base, a new energy source in Metropolis and the location where Metallo is laying inactive.

Then after the Kingpin steals the items and Lex his team dig up Metallo and start installing the combined technology in/on Metallo. At that point a Shadow League operative makes sure that Daredevil and his friends get wind of the link between the robberies and the location of the lab.

The good guys stop Metallo before he is installed with both the new energysource and the forcefield (which would have made him as good as invincible and a serious danger to Ra's plans).

The hero's are not aware that League operatives within the Kingpin and Lex their organizations got away with copies of the research enabling the League to upgrade their elite fighters with personal forcefields and build light versions of Metallo as additional warriors.

Mr. Kage

01-17-2010, 11:35 PM

Pure Awesomness, let's do it!

GoldPhoenixRanger

01-17-2010, 11:38 PM

Sounds good to me as long as you can keep it all straight for us ER, lol!

-GPR

The Doctor

01-17-2010, 11:51 PM

Whatever anyone wants to do, I'm up for it. I figure the Marvel heroes would probably meet up somewhere. As would the DC heroes. I know Bobby would probably know Tony Stark and Matt Murdock, I'm not sure about Ben Reilly though. I mean most heroes know each others alter-ego's right?

Shadow Ranger

01-18-2010, 01:00 AM

Doc - Don't forget that my version of Stark is the Anti-Hero, the man who spearheaded the Superhero Registration Act. Mind you, in the story of my Stark, the Act hadn't gone through yet and Captain America is very much alive so he's not the target of Superheroes world-wide, but he's still rather hated by those who opposed the Superhero Registration Act.

Evil -- If you think The Mandrin is going to let Ra's Al Guhl and his League of Shadows rule the world, you've got another thing coming! ;) I guarantee you, with Ten Rings Inc. as his resource backbone, he's more than ready to go to war. Also, if you plan on going with the Luthor/Kingpin being in league with Ra's, might I suggest adding Tony Stark to that list? He can use his somewhat tarnished reputation to gain favor and infiltrate the little group from the inside, a la Batman (crica Kingdom Come). Just a thought.

The Doctor

01-18-2010, 01:37 AM

Oh, is he? Interesting. Well regardless of his opinion of him, Bobby will know Tony Stark, be it personally or from TV, etc. And if the SRA is part of this at all, for the sake of my personal choice Bobby is Anti-Registration. :p

Shadow Ranger

01-18-2010, 04:39 AM

Yeah I thought so, Doc. After all, the X-Men have always been about blending in to "normal" society. So having the world know they are Mutants would be the last thing they want. Also, I haven't decided if I'm going to bring the SRA into this. Having to stare down Superman is a scary thought and something Tony Stark probably doesn't want to have to deal with. Unless, of course, Lex Luthor gives him the blueprints for LexCorp's Kryponite Laser Technology. ;) If GPR wants to use the SRA, that's fine with me. I just used it to establish Tony's mindset and the mindset of any Marvel Superheroes toward him. I also thought it might prove interesting if, say, Batman starts becoming friends with him and someone like Iceman looks at him and says, "Are you nuts, Bats?! This is the guy that wants the world to know you're Bruce Wayne and you want to be his friend?!" Also, I thought it would be cool to play a "Fallen Hero" that redeems himself in the eyes of his peers by helping to save Reality.

Now that I think about it, without realizing it, I really did set up several interesting storyline options because of how I've set up Tony Stark.

Oh and as an aside, Doc... I didn't realize who you were until SHR just sent out that PM with the OLLLLLLD thread from Rangertalk V2. Why didn't you say something man? :D

Anyway, when are we going to get this show on the road?

The Doctor

01-18-2010, 08:21 AM

Yeah, pretty much. I mean making the SRA law would destroy everything Professor X and the X-Men have been working towards. And I could totally see Bobby saying that. XD Isn't it awesome when you do things unintentionally?

Also, yeah I guess you could say I'm a oldie. Was it V2? Really? Woooooooow lol. I was probably with my original name back then, S.P.D. Black Ranger. I just found out you were back the other day, and most people know who I am. :p

GoseiManta

01-18-2010, 09:42 PM

So..
Lex is going to be buddy buddy with Mr.Fisk?
We're going to have a cold one with Ra's, and plan robots who can kill lotsa folks?
Sounds, interesting.
I waited this long to say something about what's going on in here.
Alright, I should also note, I will be posting in first person for Luthor and Superman, but I will be in third person with Brainiac.

Now you should all be made aware, that Lex has his Orange Lantern ring, from the Darkest Night story-line. What he's going to do with that is something I'm going to reveal as we go along. Please, don't make plans for that.

Superman is going to be on New Krypton until the heroes begin to migrate to defeat the big bad. However his arrival will be delayed by Brainiac attacking him when he tries to leave New Krypton. Until that point, I'll be making posts about Superman trying to triangulate his position in the Universe.

GoldPhoenixRanger

01-21-2010, 01:22 AM

Ok, everyone,

I want to start by letting everyone know that Revan PM'ed me to let me know that due to his underestimating how much school work he would have, he has decided to leave the game. As such, Scarlet Spider is no longer in our storylines.

I will open a story thread by the end of the week assuming everyone is still interested in the game, which I hope you are. I think I'll have multiple story threads going to start, to keep things in order and also keep them moving.

We know Bats, Cats, and a RF will be one storyline, and there should also be one for the Fisk/Luthor meeting and however Tony Stark will relate to that meeting.

We also need to decide on a storyline to include the remaining characters, namley Iceman and Daredevil. These will be the starting storylines and will evolve into further storylines as the game progresses.

-GPR

Evil Ranger

01-21-2010, 08:08 AM

Can you post an updated overview of the current cast then?

A storyline suggestion: Devil on the Ice

Dokter Frost is hired by an unknown organization (later to be revealed to be the League of Shadows) to break into several army, public and private facilities to steal and remove their data concerning the 2 worlds fusing together.

At first authorities and Daredevil are under the impression that Iceman is the one behind the attacks. By the time they figure it out (because Daredevil and Iceman are fighting nearby a facility that is being robbed. Iceman being there to go after the real villain to clear his name...) Frost has completed his assignement and/or manage to defeat the two heroes.

This leads them to tracking him down to Gotham where they meet up with the Bats and Leon.

On a side note: I am changing my char's hero name to "Thundercat" and his outfit to as displayed o the picture only with 2 clawshield/gloves instead of just one and the colors to the sames on the picture. (I couldn't find a way to make a true Thundercat fight from a suit that is based on darkness and fear. Just doesn't work with the Code of Thundera and all that...)

Mr. Kage

01-21-2010, 09:10 AM

Sounds good, I am up for it!

The Doctor

01-21-2010, 09:01 PM

Hmm.....interesting idea. Sounds like a plan.

Evil Ranger

01-21-2010, 09:36 PM

Shadow Ranger

01-22-2010, 06:42 AM

I have been reviewing the thunderacts episode and I have some ideas for later episode already.

Turns out that we have to make a decision however.

Option A: the planet on which the Thundercats stranded in their past was another earth then the fused one. In that case it would be First or Second Earth (the Thundercats stranded on "Third Earth" )

Option B: one of the earths (the marvel then) is Third Earth. In this case Leo was transported waaaaaaay back into the past and somewhere on the planet the Dark Piramed is located in which a (relatively) young Mumm-Ra lays to sleep. (in the Thundercats storyline it is implied that human archeologists awakened Mumm-Ra about a 1000 years before the Thundercats crashed on Earth. Once he woke up he kinda well.... the planet ended up rather "planet of the apes" style....)

Both option give story options that could make an interesting episode.

My personal choice would that the earths were First and Second Earth from Thundercat legacy and that there is a backup reincarnation pyramid of Mumm-Ra somewhere on the planet that sneaked into reality when the universes were fused.

Leo would also be placed back x years in time. This would mean that at one point he can be send back after learning what he needed to learn, win the war on Thundera and come back to earth to help out his old teachers later one (but only like a week further in the storytime line)

One slight problem Evil. Thundera is in Marvel's Universe. Marvel and DC have been merged. Thundera no longer exists as it was. Chances are beings from DC's version of Thundera (whatever that may be) will have already helped the Thundercats lay waste to their enemies or their enemies lay waste to them before Leo even gets to Merged Thundera.

Now in terms of Third Earth... how about this? Let's says Marvel's Earth doubled as Third Earth for the Thundercats (for the sake of simplicity). On DC's Earth, Mumm-Ra was never awakened because of differences in evolution (or make something up as to why DC's Mumm-Ra never woke, but Marvel's did). When the Earths merged, Mumm-Ra (real Mumm-Ra) merged with them. He found the Reincarnation Pyramid of DC's Earth, Marvel's Pyramid having been blinked out of existence with the merger. He also discovers that the Pyramid responds to his commands and power since he's already used his Pyramid in Marvel's Universe multiple times and is already attuned to the power signature. Since the Mumm-Ra of DC's Universe has been dormant for so long, the Pyramid recognizes "live" Mumm-Ra as the true Mumm-Ra, so it doesn't awaken DC Mumm-Ra. When Mumm-Ra activates DC's Reincarnation Pyramid for the first time, it catches the eyes of those attuned to the occult (magic), specifically Ra's Al Guhl and The Manadrin. And if you REALLY wanted to, you could have Mumm-Ra's Minions (Sssslithe, et. al) merge to the new world with him or even have him find the DC equivalents and "recruit" them. What do you think?

Evil Ranger

01-22-2010, 07:52 AM

One slight problem Evil. Thundera is in Marvel's Universe. Marvel and DC have been merged. Thundera no longer exists as it was. Chances are beings from DC's version of Thundera (whatever that may be) will have already helped the Thundercats lay waste to their enemies or their enemies lay waste to them before Leo even gets to Merged Thundera.

Euhm few problems with your theory:

First off, there would be no Thundera or Mumm-Ra in the DC universe. (if you go by that logic there also should be Marvel version of Krypton and a DC version of the symbionts from Spider etc)

Secondly and more to Leo's case... He has been displaced through time and space by the Book of Omens.... It is would more then reasonable within the Thundercat universe that the the Thundercat dimension is an entirely other one within the Marvel Universe then where the other heroes come from. The Book itself is in fact not really a "book" but a doorway to other planes and dimensions. So basically everything goes as long as you keep the keep in mind that the Book can send you to any universe, dimension time and place. It just picked this specific point because the fusion of 2 worlds would be a great training change for Leo.

Even if you would say that there is a DC Thundera and that it is the same earth, Leo would still have to be bounced a few 1000 years in past or the future for earth to have reach it's current state. (When his grandfather left it earth was inhabited by amazones in treetops, robo-bears and hobbit like fellows).

Looking at Mumm-Ra... Well the bastards never dies he just gets banished by his master the evil spirits when he fails to often in a row. Then someone does something to piss the spirits of and they create a new pyramide and release him from his time warp banishment. All things considered I would now say that I would like to keep him out of this RPG, maybe just one guest appearance when the evil spirits try to destroy the Book or something like that. But he is annoying enemy to deal with especially in rpg's :)

Just thinking of it all give me a headache.... So lets make it like this.

There was no DC Thundera but just like New Krypton was, the Thundera solar system has been shifted to a different location and there was a time difference of about 5 years. In the mean while Thundera exploded (again... it has a habit of falling apart when there is trouble) without survivors. The location of Third Earth is also unknow after merger and this planet is as far as the Thundercats are considered 4th Earth.

Leo will be informed of this by the spirit of his grandfather at the begin of the first episode. Over time it will be revealed that the Book of Omens and Key of Thundera are on earth aswell. When he is ready for it and has reclaimed this items they will send him back to the point where he left. There he can fight off the invaders the next 3 years and then start his search for 4th earth to help out his old friends.

Shadow Ranger

01-23-2010, 05:07 AM

Sounds like you did a lot of research for this character. Either that or you a huge fan of Thundercats. ;) Either way, the new version of your story sounds better than the old one. Of course, I'm not running this RPG so it's not up to me. I can't wait for this to start!

GoldPhoenixRanger

01-23-2010, 07:09 AM

Ok everyone,

I think I've successfully organized the opening storylines. Here is the updated cast list and the storylines:

Cast:

1. Batman (Bruce Wayne) - Played by GoldPhoenixRanger
2. Batman Beyond (Terry McGinnis) - Played by ImBillPardy
3. Iron Man (Anthony "Tony" Stark) - Played by Shadow Ranger
4. Superman (Clark Kent/Kal-El) - Played by GekiViper
5. Wonder Woman (Diana) - Played by Question
6. Daredevil (Matt Murdock) - Played by The Grand Kage
7. Iceman (Bobby Drake) - Played by The Doctor
8. Thundercat (Leo, Son of Lion-O) - Played by Evil Ranger

Storylines:

A) Bats, Cats, and a Royal Flush - Batman awakens and discovers the changed world. He immediately heads to the Batcave to check on the world and finds all the changes. He has no idea what has happened but decides that he must survey Gotham City (now a merger of Gotham and Chicago, but keeping the name because those two wont merge well). However, before he can leave, Alfred discovers Leo at the front door and brings him to the Batcave. Leo introduces himself and explains his need for training and such. Batman then finds him a human disguise. The Batcave alarm goes off and they find what appear to be two Royal Flush Gangs robbing Gotham First National, taking advantage of everyone’s disorientation. Batman and Leo head to the scene but find another Batman (Terry) already fighting them. The three team up and beat the Royal Flush Gang, but they escape and so the three heroes return to the Batcave, and begin a search for the missing crooks and also to find information about the changed world, both as heroes, and as their alter-ego's. [Led by GPR]

B) Devil on the Ice: Dokter Frost is hired by an unknown organization (later to be revealed to be the League of Shadows) to break into several army, public and private facilities to steal and remove their data concerning the 2 worlds fusing together. At first authorities and Daredevil are under the impression that Iceman is the one behind the attacks. By the time they figure it out (because Daredevil and Iceman are fighting nearby a facility that is being robbed. Iceman being there to go after the real villain to clear his name...) Frost has completed his assignment and/or manages to defeat the two heroes.
This leads them to tracking him down to Gotham where they meet up with the Bats and Leo.

C) Power Hungry: Everyone is anxious to attain power in this new world. Wilson Fisk and Lex Luthor schedule a meeting to discuss a partnership between their business empires. Tony Stark joins them and adds Stark Industries to the mix, even though he’s actually secretly just trying to learn their plans. Meanwhile, Ares tracks down Raoul Bushman and Kaine (a tribute to a lost character and lost player) and hired them as his Generals for the purpose of causing chaos and starting war, they forcing people to worship him again and giving him back his godly power. At the same time, Ra’s al Ghul and the League of Shadows are putting in motion multiple plans to achieve their own control over things. We also cannot forget that The Mandarin and Ten Rings Inc. are putting a scheme or two into action as well. [Everyone plays their own villain, if your villain is involved.

D) It seems we need a storyline for Wonder Woman, as Superman is currently out of the picture. Question? Any ideas?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I will likely be opening the story threads tomorrow (Saturday) night sometimes, so be on the lookout.

If anyone has a way to fit Wonder Woman in here somewhere, then feel free. Actually, if you want Question, she can join my crew at the Batcave, as depending on where she was before the merger, she would logically seek out Batman since Supes is off planet. Let me know what you think.

-GPR

ImBillPardy

01-23-2010, 07:12 AM

Thats what i would think WW would do!

Evil Ranger

01-23-2010, 08:39 AM

Wouldn't it be rather hard for Iron Man to do an episode on it own? Maybe it's a bit easier to play the rpg with WW involved that storyline. Else we'll have 3 there stories with one that has 4 players, one with 2 and one with one....

Maybe Ares his generals can crash the summit for some reason?

Sounds like you did a lot of research for this character. Either that or you a huge fan of Thundercats. ;) Either way, the new version of your story sounds better than the old one. Of course, I'm not running this RPG so it's not up to me. I can't wait for this to start!

I was a hugh fan of it the shown from my 6th to 9 years or something like that. Then the show was cancelled and a bit later Power Ranger started airing over here :) (the irony to play a thundercat on this board is just...)

When I started the rpg I wanted to make a dark thundercat (I hardly never play a pure good char, not my nature see my username) but then I started watching the series again on youtube to get some ideas background... (I really should have been doing something more productive but what the hell...) and then I remembered that it was one of those really old show with a moral in each episode, corny jokes at the end and all that.

So I figured that I would take up the challenge of playing a straight up knight in shining armor. Too bath for the bats however... I am thinking Leo will be pretty annoyed with the dressing up like dark creatures and secret identity life.

Anyways lets start up the game thread :p

Shadow Ranger

01-23-2010, 04:55 PM

Ummmm... it's not just me in that storyline. Sure I'm the only Hero in that storyline, but I'm not the only player. I actually kinda like the people in my storyline even thought I'm the only real Hero because both Luthor and Kingpin aren't inherently evil. Kingpin maybe more than Luthor since he is, after all, a Crime Boss. Luthor just doesn't like Superman, but he has nothing against the people. So if, say, Ares' Generals started messing with the people of Metropolis... with Superman off-planet, Luthor would consider them "his people," he'd defend them. He'd either sic Team Luthor on Ares' Generals or he'd pull out his Ring and suit up himself. And that might prove interesting. Team Luthor with Iron Man as their "General" teaming up to save the people of Metropolis. That would also work further toward Tony trying to sell himself as someone who has the same goals and ideals as Luthor. I mean, what better way to con--- I mean ingratiate himself to Luthor than to allow Luthor to 'borrow' his 'personal body guard'? :p Sure Fisk would probably know that Tony is, in fact, Iron Man (every Marvel character, Hero or Villain, should know that with Leo being the only possible exception), but Luthor doesn't. ;) And that would keep me from getting bored and allow me to bust out Ol' Shell Head!

Question

01-23-2010, 05:29 PM

The only real idea I had for Wonder Woman was that, with Superman offworld, she'd be the go-to superhero(ine) for the government to ask for help, so she's flitting about to crime after crime, crisis after crisis, handling things as best she can and maybe cameoing in other storylines, at least until Ares decides it's time to take care of her.

Maybe Superman could contact her later and ask her to use Themysciran tech to help triangulate the location of New Krypton?

GoseiManta

01-23-2010, 05:37 PM

I was thinking he would try something like that Q. But I'm curious how I would go about integrating Kryptonian Krystal technology to.. Themysciran.. Err.. Magic?

Question

01-23-2010, 05:51 PM

Themyscira actually has a lot of high technology, but even if we don't want to do that, it could be something like talking Diana through some Fortress of Solitude tech. She knows where it is.

GoseiManta

01-23-2010, 06:06 PM

Hmm, I like that idea. With the world in disarray, Diana rushes to the Fortress. Fighting her way north obviously.
I'll have Kal-El prerecord a message to her explaining the transmission delays and how to operate the communication crystals.

Evil Ranger

01-23-2010, 06:25 PM

Wouldn't the Fortress be relocated also ? Unless she was there at the moment itself or Jor-El calls out to her somehow it would take sometime for her to find it. Maybe an episode for later? "Search for solitude" Once all heroes get together the figure out that they need the tech of the Fortress?

Question

01-23-2010, 06:29 PM

Wonder Woman's been to the Fortress, so she'd be able to find it again. Why would it have been moved?

GoseiManta

01-23-2010, 06:29 PM

Hm, you have a point Q.

Evil Ranger

01-23-2010, 06:35 PM

Wonder Woman's been to the Fortress, so she'd be able to find it again. Why would it have been moved?

Well universes have been fused... Gotham and Chicago have been merged.... New Krypton is relocated... I think you can write that off on the fusion of 2 worlds. The two Northpoles would have been fused also afterall... It's a new world... I mean it's not like Gotham/Chicago will have the same route plan like it had in the past right?

Hm, sounds good. It is disguised, so if it's not where it belongs, then they would have a hard time. Perhaps Kal-El remotely activates it from New Krypton, and it activates a summoning beacon originally intended to alert the Justice League that the Fortress is under attack. However, now that the universes are merged. All the heroes are alerted. Sound good?

Sounds good... But maybe the bad guys pick it up aswell and start their own search for it? Turning it into a treasure hunt :)

Shadow Ranger

01-23-2010, 08:53 PM

Geki and Q, you two just gave me a GREAT idea!

I think we should go with Ares sending his "Generals" to wreak havoc in Metropolis and, maybe, having Luthor calling out Team Luthor to deal with them. Then maybe Ares either decides to show up himself or send something a little more... God-Like... to assist his "Generals" who seem to failing at taking out Team Luthor. Enter Iron Man, "on loan" from Tony Stark. But even with Iron Man's help, the Demi-God is still too much.

Meanwhile in the Fortress of Solitude...

Wonder Woman is trying to help Superman get back to earth when the Fortress' Crisis Monitoring System goes nuts. Upon inspection, Wonder Woman discovers that New Metropolis is under attack... from Ares. Superman tells Wonder Woman to go to the aid of Metropolis while he continues to find his way back to Earth.

Wonder Woman arrives in New Metropolis in the nick of time to "save the day."

Iron Man is grateful. Luthor starts to get worried (since he knows Wonder Woman, after all). Fisk watches from the sidelines, appraising the ever-shifting tides. And Ra's and Mandarin continue their plotting. Ra's would also know Wonder Woman and Mandarin would be interested that Stark has decided to don the Iron Man Armour again after all this time. That and since Wonder Woman's abilities are mostly magic-based, he'd be REALLY interested. With most of the Major Villains converging on the Cosmic Battle Field of New Metropolis, many of the Lesser Villains might be drawn to "assist" the Major Villains. And the other Heroes would begin to take interest, especially Batman (with Superman off-planet, Batman probably would have taken it upon himself to install remote security in Metropolis so he can keep an eye on the city for Supes). With New Metropolis rapidly becoming Ground Zero for a Major Cosmic War, Superman begins to feel the pressure to return, as quickly as possible, to Earth. As the story progresses, the Cosmic War begins to swell to a head and Batman, now leading a "Justice League" comprised of heroes from both DC and Marvel, not only struggle to protect and serve, but to find a way to bring Earth's Mightiest Champion back during Earth's greatest time of need. (Speaking, of course, of Superman.) And in the middle of all this (GPR's Main Villain, whoever that may be, notwithstanding) are the two Men who have made their Criminal Careers on Organized Chaos... Ra's Al Guhl - The Demon's Head... and The Mandarin. Talk about a partnership I wouldn't want to cross... even if I were Superman.

How's that for bringing everyone together in a nice, neat package? :D

You know... I'd LOVE to see that story as an actual Graphic Novel (like Kingdom Come Style). :D

So... what do you guys think?

Question

01-23-2010, 09:01 PM

I like it!

JLA - Justice League of Avengers!

Well universes have been fused... Gotham and Chicago have been merged.... New Krypton is relocated... I think you can write that off on the fusion of 2 worlds. The two Northpoles would have been fused also afterall... It's a new world... I mean it's not like Gotham/Chicago will have the same route plan like it had in the past right?

Yeah, that's a good point. Fair enough.

Maybe that can be a running subplot. Wonder Woman being the new Superman, but also trying to find a way to track down the FoS so she can use it to track down real Superman?

Evil Ranger

01-23-2010, 09:11 PM

I think it's a pretty good story plot, only thing I am worried about is having too much storyevents at one time...

So I would like to suggest to have several "chapters" above each set of episode:

A new universe to discover: all the heroes first actions in the new universe. The first 3 episode that we discussed already.
A fused league: the heroes have their first general meeting and determine their new collective stonghold/get installed there (the watchtower and another group gaurding the Fortress of Solitude untill Superman returns)
Villain fusion: the villains start to team up aswell.

Or maybe it's better to have the villains team up first so the heroes have an incentive to team up?

Anyways I would like to have Leo settle as guardian of the Fortress... It kinda seems fitting to have him seeing as he is the only survivor of his race and defender of the values of his father just like Superman was when he arrived on earth.

Maybe that can be a running subplot. Wonder Woman being the new Superman, but also trying to find a way to track down the FoS so she can use it to track down real Superman?

Well maybe Leo can fix up a hoverboard (young thundercats tend use these to get around) and head off with WW to the norht pole to find it? I can think of several ways for a Lord of the thundercats to find the Fortress in the Northpole and that way the heroes can get a grip of Leo's abilities.... After they know crap about him.... It's like have an episode and then they can head back to the others just in time to help them in a battle against.... doesn't matter :)

Shadow Ranger

01-23-2010, 09:40 PM

Justice League Assemble!! :p

Evil - I wasn't thinking all of this happening in a single, large Event. Was thinking more along the lines of a Story Progression as opposed to a Story Event.

Q - Wonder Woman would have to learn to work with Iron Man or... at odds with him might be interesting too. After all, New Metropolis is Tony's home for now so he would feel that he, as Iron Man, should be the city's protector. Actually... at odds might work better. I would think Wonder Woman doesn't trust Luthor at all and since Iron Man would be "working" for Team Luthor, she might not trust him either. Hmmmm... yes...

I wonder what our esteemed RPG Creator thinks about this idea?

GoldPhoenixRanger

01-24-2010, 04:11 AM

I think that this RPG is going above and beyond anything I expected and I thank you all for that!!

As for the storyline ideas, everything I've heard is great, espicially Shadow Ranger's summary for the continued progression of the storylines. Let's start with the ones we have now and we can move into the new one's as we progress. Once the heroes unite, everything will merge into one story thread for simplicities sake.

For now, I'm going to open threads for Storylines A, B, & C to get things moving. Geki and Question, if you guys want you can make your posts for Supes and Wonder Woman in whichever of the existing threads, or I can give you your own thread for now, its up to you.

Actually, what I'd like to do is have a member in charge of each storyline, so that the person running it is part of it. So, I'll be running storyline A, Shadow I'd like you to run Story B, and Story C can be run by either Kage or Doctor, whichever of you wants to do it. Those of you running threads, please create them with this format:

"An Un-Paralleled Crisis - Bats, Cats, and A Royal Flush"

Obviously for yours the title will feature whatever title yours storyline has (see previous page).

I'll edit this and post links to the threads when they are made. I'll also create an updated storyline list with the stuff that will happen once these initial storylines are done, and post that as soon as I have it done.

You guys rock! Great thread Shadow, nice structure. Both you and Geki are playing your characters perfectly. I hope my Batman meets with everyones approval. I'm sure BillPardy's does, as he had a great opening post as well.

Count on seeing those future storylines in some sembelence of organization by the end of the night (I hope, lol).

I just want to state that those in charge of each story can make descisions about and organize story details (anything major needs my approval obviously) as well as help others with their posts. Obviously we will keep track of each others stories so we all know whats happening.

This is probably the biggest RPG I've ever undertaken and I'm glad I'm doing so with such an enthusiastic and creative group of Role Players. Let's keep it going, I'd hate to see this die out like so many other games.

-GPR

Shadow Ranger

01-25-2010, 01:19 AM

GPR - I think your opening post for Bats is very well done. Thought, I'm not sure his first instinct would be to suit up. But then again, he's your Bats, not mine. :)

TGK - Ummmm... good question. I would say just do an introductory post like Geki and I did, showing Fisk reacting to a merged city. I'm not a huge follower of Daredevil so I'm not sure how Fisk would react or really what he'd be doing. You seem to have a pretty good grasp of Daredevil so I'll leave the introduction of Wilson Fisk up to you. I think he's got his own company and building, doesn't he? You could have him start there and, like, have one of his minions come running in all wigging out about the merger. *shrug* Like I said, I don't know the world of Daredevil all that well.

Hmmmm... so Ra's is in his own Story? Didn't realize that. My bad. Guess Bid For Power is going to be the Stark/Luthor/Fisk Show. Question, make sure you post for Ares once in a while. I'll let you decide when you want Ares to sic his generals on New Metropolis. Keep us on our toes. ;)

For now, I'm going to keep Mandarin in limbo and keep an eye on all of the stories. Depending on what happens, he may or may not make an appearance. He'll definitely show up once Ares starts raising Hell or once Ra's Al Guhl makes his presence known, whichever happens first.

GoldPhoenixRanger

Yes I know it is a double post!

@Doc it will be in New Metropolis

Correct. It makes sense for it to be in New Metropolis because:

A) Daredevil would be there keeping an eye on Kingpin

B) Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters is about an hour north in Westchester, NY, which is where Iceman would probably hang out.

So yea, go with New Metropolis.

01-25-2010, 08:00 PM

Since Gotham has been "fused" with Chicago, do we know which city has been "fused" with New Metropolis?

EDIT: Also, Bobby is already aware of the string of break-ins correct? Hence the reason why he runs into Daredevil while tracking down Dokter Freeze?

01-25-2010, 08:05 PM

01-26-2010, 11:46 AM

If I had to hazard a guess, I would say yes. After all, Mr. Freeze's real name is Doctor Victor Fries (pronounced Freeze, not Frys).

Geki and Kage - Let's have our characters explore the "New World" a little. Maybe have Luthor pay The Daily a visit or something. I could see him thinking about trying to pull what he pulled before when the universes merged and try to buy out The Daily. And, of course, that draws the attention of Kingpin as it did before. *shrugs* Just some possibilities to get the ball rolling. At the very least, I need to know if Luthor is still going to be at LexCorp or not since Tony's going to visit him. Eventually, I'm going to have Tony bust out Iron Man and that should draw the attention of both Luthor and Kingpin for very different reasons.

Evil Ranger

01-26-2010, 12:00 PM

This is something that just occurred to me as I was reading Evil Ranger's last post in "Devil On Ice". I've never heard of Dokter Frost/Freeze. But to me he sounds like Mr. Freeze from Batman. Is that who its supposed to be?

Ah crap it's Mr. Freeze.... Sorry my mistake, but you can blame the translation of the orginal Batman series when I was a kid... there he was doctor Freeze :)

Sounds good Geki. Go ahead and post for Lex when you have a chance. You can end it with Tony's Limo cutting him off and him getting out of his car or something and I'll pick up from there.

Kage - I'm planning on having Tony go to The Daily after his meeting with Luthor (or during it, if Luthor decides to ride with Tony). If so, it might be good to have Fisk begin making his way there. I can think of no other place in New Metropolis to formally begin the Three-Way Bid For Power. ;) I have plans already for if the three of us end up at The Daily. :D

Shadow Ranger

01-27-2010, 01:21 PM

Hey sorry for the double post!

I got inspired to write up a concept for a new RPG based on The Justice League. The inspiration came from someone else's Casting Call. I wont say which, but I'm sure you guys can figure it out. I wanted to run it by you guys before I made a full-fledged Idea Topic for it to see what you guys thought. You know, since you're all Comics Geeks AND you're Mods and Admins for the site. :D Who knows, you might tell me to bypass the Idea Topic altogether and just post the CC. :p Anyway here's what I have so far, just the story synopsis. I hope you all like it!

Justice League: Generations
Rated PG-13 (For Language and Violence)

Story:

The Justice League. A group of Heroes and Heroines who banded together to protect their home, Earth, and fight the forces of evil and darkness. But not only did they combat Earthly evil, but evil on a Galactic, and even Cosmic Scale. They’ve saved Reality and Existence more times than they can remember. But now, the human members are old and tired. Many of them have hung up their capes, cowls, masks, and spandex. A large reason for this is that many of their Arch-Nemesis have gotten old with them and have simply retired. The Joker, now getting on in years, has decided that it’s too much work and not as much fun to break out of Arkham Asylum to wreak havoc. He now spends his days locked up in Arkham Asylum with the love of his life, Doctor Harleen Quinzel, Harley Quinn. Lex Luthor, a ruthless businessman, crooked politician, and bane of Superman’s existence has settled down to run his company, LexCorp International. He has given up trying to best Superman and run Metropolis and has decided to live out his remaining years doing what he’s tried to do on the side his entire life, aid the citizens of Metropolis. Also, after having discovered that the original DNA strand used to clone himself also contained the DNA for Kryptonite Poisoning, he has ceased his cloning operations and destroyed the DNA template. This is just an example of the aging of the villains.

Many of Gotham’s villains have followed Joker’s lead and retired or semi-retired from crime as they, too, are getting on in years, causing Batman to have all but disappeared from the public. His presence is still felt throughout Gotham, but on a much smaller and more hidden scale. And what of The Man of Steel? He has settled down on Earth with his wife, Lois Lane-Kent and lives his life as and works at The Daily Planet as Clark Kent, Ace Reporter. They are thinking about starting a family. With the Leaders of the Justice League, for the most part, retired, the other heroes have either retired themselves or moved on to other things. They have finally achieved that which they have fought so hard and so long for: World Peace. But as with all things in their lives, THAT is not bound to last.

The year is 2030. The villains of yesteryear are either dead or retired. The heroes of yesteryear have suffered much the same fate, that of human aging. Most remain alive, but inactive and retired in their advanced age. Clark and Lois have, in fact, started a family. Lois gave birth to their daughter, Diana Martha Kent. Lois and Clark have raised their daughter with much of the same ideals they were raised. This became especially important during her teenage years when her powers and abilities manifested themselves. Now at the age of 20, Diana will find herself faced with much the same choice her Father did at her age, for an ancient, powerful menace from beyond the Cosmos has returned to strike at Earth now at its weakest state. This menace is familiar to the original Justice League, but not to this generation. And the timing couldn’t be worse as Superman himself is off-planet. The Earth needs its Heroes once more, but will they step forward? Diana must take up her Father’s mantle and never-ending quest in order to protect her home. Thanks to the stories her parents told her of her Father’s ‘Glory Days,’ she knows that she will not be able to do this alone. Right now, her only lead is a mysterious man of Gotham City calling himself The Batman. But this time, Batman isn’t Bruce Wayne. So who is he? And can Diana trust him with the fate of the world? The time has come for a new generation of heroes to take the mantles of the predecessors. The world needs The Justice League! But will the world be happy with the Justice League they receive? This is a new era and a different generation. The old values aren’t necessarily the values of this generation. The world should be careful what they wish for. Join the ranks now and decide what values The Justice League will now stand for! You may just surprise yourself!

Evil Ranger

01-27-2010, 08:47 PM

I would wait untill this rpg gets of the ground and proves to be playable before making spin offs :)

But in general I am not to impressed to be honest. This "new generation" thing has been done and redone since... well since Start Trek The New Generation :p You really should come up with an original enemy or danger to make it work.

But I would make an idea topic about it if you want to go one with it.

GoldPhoenixRanger

01-28-2010, 04:00 AM

I would tend to agree, espicially since I would hate to see members going to that RPG and neglecting this one, plus theres already the RPG you ripped off so people are probably heroed out right now anyway. But once this one is either well underway or dies out (I hope not) maybe we could all give it a shot. The next generation thing is a bit played out, but it can be done with the right incentives and as long as it was well thought out, which it seems to be.

For now we have a slew of villians and cross dimensional chaos to worry about, to lets deal with one crisis at a time, lol!

Yea, I realized that Bruce probably wouldnt have suited up unless he was going straight out and it would have looked lame to have him tke the suit back off after having just put it on, so instead I changed the first post so he puts on a sweatsuit instead of the Batsuit (we've seen him in the grey sweats in the cave during various episodes of the animated series).

This way he can go talk to Leo without revealing his idenity right away, then reveal it to him once leo has earned his trust. Good eyes though Doc!

Question

02-06-2010, 02:23 PM

NUH UH!

I'm typing a WW post now. And it gave me an idea.

Ares + USA + New Krypton Disappearing + Realities Merging

Ares is gonna play up the paranoia the US Government is feeling right now, and maybe New Krypton's too eventually, to try and incite an all out war between the merged Earth and New Krypton. The President and his people are assuming that New Krypton is behind the recent merging of realities, and they disappeared in an attempt to both hide from reprisals and to sneak attack the combined and chaotic Earth sometime in the near future.

Pending GPR and GekiViper approval, of course. This wouldn't really be anything but paranoia until New Krypton is located anyway, so it's not like it's something we have to do now or never. I'm still playing up the President's paranoia over it, though, just because.

edit: Actually, if GekiViper wants to, you could play up the same suspicion among the New Kryptonians, that Earth was responsible for displacing them out of fear, even if it's not directly due to Ares' influence. Symmetry!

I like that idea Question. Even though native New Kryptonians might be suspicious of Earth, Superman wouldn't and he would be the most influential and prominent person on the planet. The suspicions of his people might cause Superman to actually attempt to return to Earth to find out what's going on.

Also, Geki, I happened upon the Comic where Luthor gets his Power Ring while perusing my local Bookstore a few days ago. It's a good thing I decided not to go with Hal Jordan as my character. :D

Shadow Ranger

02-08-2010, 09:24 PM

Geki -- I've set things up so Tony will ride with Luthor to The Daily. I'll let you decide when Luthor allows Tony to ride with him, hopefully within a post or two. At that point, go ahead and have Tony get in the car, then cut to The Daily. A whole car's ride worth of dialogue would be boring to read. :p I'm thinking Luthor's intention, just like in the first Marvel/DC Crossover, is to buy The Daily. So if you want, you can have Luthor and Tony make their way up to the Editing Floor and have Lois or Jimmy or Perry recognize Luthor and ask him what he wants, at which point he'll say something about purchasing The Daily.

Kage - I'd like Fisk to be there by that point and have him interject with his own offer. Then I'll have Tony step in and suggest a three-way partnership. Then a couple of posts with the three of us "discussing" the partnership and the fun can REALLY begin. :D

Mr. Kage

I think what we needed was someone who had a character in each of the storylines that could have kept it going, this type of game requires constant movement and if GPR calls it dead i have an idea which would allow people to use any comic book character, Marvel, Dc, Dark Horse, Image etc if any of you guys sound interested i may get it up and running.

Hey guys,

I want to apologize for my lack of attention to this game lately. Between working two jobs plus taking four Grad school courses my plate has been a bit full and so I didn't focus on this game as much as I should have and that wasn't right.

You guys didn't deserve to be abandoned like that, espicially by a guy that supposed to be running the RPG section.

I made another post in Bats, Cats, and a Royal Flush, if you guys are still interested in the game. If you aren't then I totally understand and I won't take it personally as it was my own fault for letting it get on life support like this.

But I think it can be saved! *Puts on Bat Cowl and voice depeens* So, what do you say?

Ok well I can keep Bats, Cats and a RF going but I don't really have control over the other two, those are you guys.

Kage, The Doctor dropped out of the game so you need to decide if you just want to forget the Mr. Freeze storyline and have Daredevil join one of the others, or what.

As for the Power Struggle, I believe we're waiting on GekiViper, unless I'm mistaken Shadow. Either way, however that's going, I'm not sure he'll be returning as his activity here has dropped significantly from what I've seen (unless I'm just unobservant).

So that's where we are, once everyone checks in we can determine who we have to write out, and how the storylines need to change as a result.

Shadow Ranger

03-03-2010, 05:01 AM

Well since you're story takes place in New Metropolis, you could always join Bid For Power. You could have DD get all pissed at Iron Man for, apparently, whoring himself out to Lex Luthor. That is... if GekiViper comes back...

GoldPhoenixRanger

03-03-2010, 05:32 AM

I like the sound of that that idea above. Once Daredevil gets in IM's face for whoring himself out to Lex, maybe he can wittness the fight at the bank but not get involved? Just an idea.

Basically yea. You would confront Iron Man after his meeting with Lex if you want to have something active to do, and if Shadow agrees.

-GPR

Shadow Ranger

03-04-2010, 12:56 AM

Well basically I was thinking after the whole meeting of the "Triad" at The Daily, I was going to have Metallo appear (completely ass random, I know, I need someone who can go toe-to-toe with Iron Man) and Tony would excuse himself a la Clark Kent to put on the suit. At the same time, Lex excuses himself and calls in Team Luthor to protect New Metropolis since Lex had nothing to do with Metallo's re-appearance. Of course, Team Luthor's got nothing on Metallo and they soon find themselves on the wrong end of Metallo's Kryptonite Beams. At this point Daredevil can arrive if he wants, but before he can do anything, Iron Man flies in and beats the tar out of Metallo. I was thinking Iron Man ends the fight by ripping out the Kryptonite that acts as Metallo's Power Core, wondering what it is. As if on cue, Lex shows up and tells him what it is. He then "confiscates" the Kryptonite and makes his sales pitch trying to "recruit" Iron Man. Iron Man tells him to talk to Stark, his boss. This interchange can be heard by a loitering Daredevil. Later, Stark and Luthor meet to "discuss" the terms of Iron Man's temporary employment by LexCorp. Also, after the Metallo fight, news of Iron Man's appearance reaches the ears of Wonder Woman in DC (if Question is still with us). This, of course, prompts Wonder Woman to investigate since, you know, she won't allow just anybody to protect Metropolis when Superman isn't there. If we really want to draw everyone in at the same time, White and Jameson can start getting pissed off at the "Triad" and decide they need legal representation. Enter: Matthew Murdock, Attorney At Law. This would also allow Matt to see "The Triad" at work and then he can get all pissed off at Tony for working with Lex and Fisk (Matt would be especially pissed that Tony, of all people, would work with Wilson Fisk, of course with Tony's recent activities whoring himself out to politics, Matt wouldn't be that surprised). Matt wouldn't get on Tony about the whole whoring out Iron Man thing until the second fight (whatever that may be) when Iron Man shows up with a LexCorp Logo on his chest (yes I'm planning to go that far for the ruse and I know Tony would do it :p).

Anyway, that's what I have so far, some of which I just came up with off the top of my head (the Daredevil/Matt stuff and drawing Wonder Woman in). What do you guys think?

So... has anyone heard from ER yet?

Question

03-13-2010, 01:16 PM

So, um...

NUH UH!

I'm typing a WW post now. And it gave me an idea.

Ares + USA + New Krypton Disappearing + Realities Merging

Ares is gonna play up the paranoia the US Government is feeling right now, and maybe New Krypton's too eventually, to try and incite an all out war between the merged Earth and New Krypton. The President and his people are assuming that New Krypton is behind the recent merging of realities, and they disappeared in an attempt to both hide from reprisals and to sneak attack the combined and chaotic Earth sometime in the near future.

Pending GPR and GekiViper approval, of course. This wouldn't really be anything but paranoia until New Krypton is located anyway, so it's not like it's something we have to do now or never. I'm still playing up the President's paranoia over it, though, just because.

edit: Actually, if GekiViper wants to, you could play up the same suspicion among the New Kryptonians, that Earth was responsible for displacing them out of fear, even if it's not directly due to Ares' influence. Symmetry!

GPR - I recommend closing the "Power Struggle" or "Bid For Power" Thread and starting a new one for the remaining characters from that thread if you plan on keeping this RPG alive. Maybe re-focus that part of the story on Washington D.C. and Wonder Woman? *shrug*

GoldPhoenixRanger

04-01-2010, 03:09 AM

I was waiting for ER and he seems to have returned now. Gekiviper is gone so someone needs to take over Superman/Lex Luthor if this is going to continue.

I'll delete the that Power Struggle thread tommorow at some point, and I'll post in here to let you know when it's gone.

I'm thinking that once the two Batmen and Leo are all together, that thread should go as well and we should then re-evaluate our storylines. Ideas are appreciated. I'm thinking Batman meets Iron Man somehow and they call some kind of hero meeting but it becomes an issue with half of the Marvel heroes not liking Tony so Batman has to convince them all to help because this crisis is more important then superhero registration right now.

Then the villians can launch their assorted plans and various heroes can be launched to defeat each one. Any problems?

EDIT: The "Bid for Power" story threa has been deleted.

GPR - What do you want the rest of us to do? (Those of us that were in Bid For Power, I mean) Also, do we NEED Superman?

GoldPhoenixRanger

04-05-2010, 12:49 AM

I suppose we don't really need Superman right now but he does pertain to the finale of the game so eventually he has to come in, plus Lex Luthor is cool.

Anyway, I've got an idea. I'm going to cut off Bats, Cats, and a RF and say that Terry defeated the RF Gang and then went to the Batcave to find Bruce and see whats going on. He arrives as Bruce and Leo are about to leave so they are together and the story comes out. Batman can then contact Wonder Woman if Question is still in the game, and then the other major DC heroes, while one of the villian teams attacks (somebody pick one). When this happens, Tony will assemble the Marvel Heroes but when they find out it's him that called them, those that were against the registration will be angry and not want to join. The DC heroes will then arrive and Batman will give a speech convinicing them to put aside that issue in lieu of the bigger problem.

Then we can fight the first villian team, then the next, and so forth. All the villian plans can be played out, and then the finale can occur.

So Shadow, if you could create a story thread in which Tony begins assembling Marvel heroes (in any way you choose, but they must assemble so therefore those against registration should probably br contacted by a third party), I'll open one for Batman to assemble DC Heroes and close Bats, Cats, & RF. Mention the big heroes of your universe, even if they arent played characters for right now, just so we can say they are around doing something.

I might not get to this tonight, but tommorow for sure.

Shadow Ranger

04-05-2010, 02:43 AM

Hmmm... so we need Superman huh? If you can't find anyone else to take him, I will. And Luthor, at that. I can use Superman's existence in this RPG as an impetus to reform the Avengers. If you give me the go ahead, I'll post with Luthor in the DC Thread that you start up. I don't know how well I'll do with Orange Lantern Luthor since I don't know what he can do with those powers. I've only read the comic where he actually gets the ring and that's it.

So... our Marvel Heroes are who?

Iron Man
Daredevil
Ice-Man (I think?)

Who else?
Once I get a list of our Marvel Heroes, I'll start a thread for them.

Also, GPR, don't forget to post in PR: Crisis. ;)

GoldPhoenixRanger

04-06-2010, 01:21 AM

For Marvel Heroes, just mention Spiderman, Hulk, Ice-Man can inform the other X-men once he knows, maybe Fantastic Four, idk. Just say that Iron man (or a third party repsentative) informs them of the goings on and that he's trying to unite them to fight a common foe (being whichever of the villians we decide to use first).

As for Superman, I have no problem taking him over myself with you taking over Lex Luthor, if thats ok with you. I don't know anything about his Orange Lantern powers but we can forget that part if you want.

For DC I'll assemble Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, Aquaman, plus the two Batmen, Wonder Woman, and Leo.

Ok I just looked through the CC for this RPG. It looks like Revan never posted and since The Doctor bowed out, Marvel is only down to:

Iron Man
Daredevil
Deadpool

Honestly, I don't feel really comfortable playing Lex Luthor. I'd rather take someone else. Incidentally, you listed off a bunch of heroes that aren't actually in this RPG... do you intend us to take multiple characters?

I don't mean us to play those characters, I simply meant for our characters to acknowldege that those characters exist and are there doing something. That's all we need to know, we don't have to reference them after that.

Also, I posted a while back announcing that Revan pulled out of the game. I also forgot that the Doctor bowed out.

In that case, you don't have to play Luthor. He can be an NPC that we all control as need be, or we can have one of the other villian groups kill or incapacitate him and take control of his empire secretly. Whatever works.

Currently, DC is the two Batmen, Leo, and Wonder Woman I think so we only have one more person then Marvel anyway. Not a big deal.

OOOO, I just got a better idea!! Maybe we try to recruit the other heroes but they are too busy dealing with other problems to help out (or they don't trust Tony for some of the Marvel guys) so those of us left (playable characters) all go to fight the villian group and meet each other. We then form a cross-universal Justice League of Avengers to fight the villian groups and try to restore order to the world. Any takers?

Oh, and glad you're still in Question!

Ummmm... you forgot Superman, GPR. ;)

Also... maybe Kingpin takes over LexCorp?

Lastly, I think we should bring on one more Marvel Hero/Heroine. Since this is your RPG, GPR, it's up to you who want playing the last hero. So far we have Bill offering to play one and Q offering to play one. Then to even out the power, I'll take Thor and Loki. Since I'm planning on having Mandarin sit back for a while, playing Loki will be fun. ;) Ares the God of War and Loki the God of Mischief... yeah the Earth is fooked! :D

If you want i could play a character who very neutrel and not selfish but very into his own lil thing, like Spawn or The Crow.

GoldPhoenixRanger

04-07-2010, 07:42 AM

Ok folks, lets get some solid plans:

1) Kingpin will "meet" with Lex, incapacitate him in some way, and take over Lexcorp, combining it with his own empire.

2) Thor and Loki are fine. For the final Marvel character, it really doesn't matter to be who it is. I'm thinking Nico is a little out there for the situation, but thanks Question. I have to say, Spawn is an idea I hadn't thought of, but I think he and Batman would probably kill each other, just judging by their opposing characteristics and the image above. Since Iron Man is leading this group, I would sat a good ally would be Spider-Man, since he supported registration, albiet reluctantly. Another one I'd consider would be *Gasp* Captain America. If anyone would realize the need to put aside small fights for the bigger one, it's him. Someone like Wolverine or another X-Man would probably feel the same way, espicially with Professor X's training. Anyone can play one of these characters, I don't care who.

3) Thor and Loki are fine Shadow, and a good idea to balance power since we have Supes. It would be interesting to see Thor and Loki team up to lead the group against Ares (with the help of whoever is playing his corresponding hero, since I forgot who it was).

4) I agree Bill, that picture rocks!

Sorry I've been so minimal on this guys but I'm just totally bogged down with school projects right now and I need almost all of my time to get them done. Luckily the semester ends on May 1st so it'll all be good after that.

Batman and Spawn work well together, albeit grudingly and with a lil aminosity between. Ive always seen Spawn as a version of Batman if Batman did kill! Spawn/Batman was a pretty sweet crossover and Miller always seems to play Bats darker side better then anyone.

Ill pass on Captain America (hes my most hated Marvel hero) and i just dont think i could pull off a good Wolverine. I can do a good Deadpool though *wink wink nudge nudge*...but i just dont think he would fit in very well.

Shadow Ranger

04-08-2010, 04:10 AM

Ares's Nemesis is Wonder Woman.

Also, I don't think Loki would ever team up with his brother. If anything, Loki would team up with Ares to kill his brother. ;)

As for the final Marvel Character, Spider-Man is a great choice. Bill, if you can play Deadpool well, you should do just as well with Spider-Man. After all, they both crack wise in the middle of combat. ;)

Some other suggestions are Gambit, Magneto (yes he would help out, but might be a tad on the powerful side), any one of the Fantastic Four, Dr. Strange (again, might be considered too powerful, but I could definitely see him involved), Venom (he sees himself as a protector of Earth so he'd help out), Nick Fury (but he might be woefully underpowered), or even War Machine (though, seeing as how I'm playing Iron Man, he might just be seen as a clone character). Off the top of my head, those are the popular and well-known characters I can think of that would fit well with what I know of the story so far. Honestly, though, any of the X-Men, X-Force, or X-Factor characters would help and would fit. If I didn't feel that we needed to even out the power of Superman, I would have taken Wolverine as he's my favorite Marvel Hero. Anyway, hopefully that gives either Bill or Question some ideas! ;)

04-08-2010, 10:14 AM

I did consider Spidey....mainly coz id have Carnage as his villain...and i do a GREAT Carnage...so much so i get too into character and banned from sites for having too 'graphic' content in them.

Ok so i will apply for Spider as well, im thinking to start him off in his Iron Man armor then when its like "hey we got worlds to save" he will revert to his red suit to show the need to pull together!

Question, if you want Captain America then thats fine, as it helps even the numbers. Ok, lets see here. So far we have:

Marvel:

Iron Man - Shadow
Daredevil - Grand Kage
Spider-Man - ImBillPardy
Captain America - Question
Thor/Loki - Shadow

DC:

Superman - GPR
Batman - GPR
Batman Beyond - ImBillPardy
Wonder Woman - Question
Leo, son of Lion-O - Evil Ranger

Once I have the new profiles, then I'll open two storylines for respective recruits of the two brands. Once that occurs, and the heroes are recruited by Batman or Iron Man (I'll note that Superman won't be joining us until later). Then the first set of villians attacks and the two groups meet when that occurs and they team up.

So, what I need from you guys (aside from the profiles for the new characters) are suggestions for the order in which we should face the villian teams. We have:

1) Wilson Fisk & Lexcorp
2) Ra's Al Ghul & his group
3) Ares and his Generals
4) The Mandarin & his forces.

What do you guys think?

Cap bio recieved! I'm not going to post the Spidey/Cap bios unless someone wants me to, since the CC is archived anyway.

I've been debating as to how to continue this in terms of story threads so here's what I will do. Each person make a post involving Batman or Iron-Man recruitng them in some way. That should look like this -

Batman Beyond - Make a post where Terry is looking around the batcave and does a quick flashback memory of how Bruce and Leo arrived and helped him beat the Royal Flush Gang at the bank, and they then returned to the Batcave where everyone explained their situations.

Leo - You can make a similar post about helping Batman Beyond at the bank.

Spidey, Cap, & Daredevil - Make a post about Iron-Man contacting you in some way and asking you to form a temporary team to deal with the major problems facing the world right now, since most heroes are too busy.

Iron-Man - You can make a post about recruiting the above three heroes.

Wonder Woman - Just have Batman contact you somehow and ask you to meet him at the Batcave.

Batman - I'll open with a post about saving Batman Beyond at the bank.

Supes & Thor - We'll worry about them later.

Sound good? Ok, this will all be in one story thread for convenience. What I need for you guys is we need to decide which villian team will attack first and how. Give me some ideas guys!
