WHAT IF'S:
The crucial element to the game: each character who is applied for comes with one of these doo-dads.
-XAVIER and MAGNETO's roles are reversed, ie: XAVIER is against humanity, Magneto wishes to save it.
-PETER PARKER never rid himself of the symbiote, being consumed by it.
-DAREDEVIL killed the Kingpin and took up his position as the crime lord.
-RICK JONES is the HULK, and has almost total control.
-WOLVERINE is stilll under the control of Weapon X.
-Only SANDMAN'S childish side remains from the split.
-BEAST never suffered his further mutation
-VULCAN grew up with his brothers, and is now on MAGNETO'S side.
-MR. IMMORTAL joined the avengers after growing up in New York.
-The Phoenix force inhabited ROGUE instead, and she ended up joining MAGNETO'S brotherhood of mutants.
-GAMBIT never gained control of his powers and they corrupted him.
-NORMAN OSBORN never went insane, and became the HOBGOBLIN instead.
-BIG BERTHA was self centered until her rejection from society, where she was take in by the brotherhood.
-GHOST RIDER was saved from his deal with Zarathos and bonded with Yeshua and Azrael to become the spirit of redemption and execution.
-TONY STARK made ironmen for the government, whilst keeping the ultimate upgrades for himself.
-When FRANK CASTLE'S family was exectued, he was shot and suffered brain damage which fractured his psyche and distorted his memory and mind.
-ADRIAN TOOMES was a police officer, forced into retirement, upon BLACKI DRAGO'S death, he took his equipment to become the VULTURE and continue fighting crime.
-JEAN GREY was abducted by the Shi'ar as they thought she possesed the phoenix force. However learning she didn't, she was sent to earth to retrieve the one with the phoenix force.
-DOC OCK didn’t become a criminal and worked his way up in SHIELD until he gained control of it. Now he secretly uses SHIELD for his life of crime.
-HAVOC lost control of his powers after running away and killed several people. Atoning for his sins he joined the Brotherhood, although he still has a short temper and is prone to outbursts of anger.
-NAMOR married Sue Storm and left his kingdom for the land with his lover. The fantastic four were never formed.

So the Venom and Carnage symbiotes both exist? If so, then theoretically, the Toxin symbiote could exist as well, right?
Hopefully the answer to both is yes, because I have a plan formulating.
Eddie Brock
04-25-2007, 07:03 PM
Ok, everyone should brace themselves. Ready?
WHAT IF? MARVEL RPG SIGN-UP FORM
Screen Name: Eddie Brock Jr.
Character you would like to play: Eddie Brock AKA Toxin. (Go ahead, re-read that as much as you want. It's not going to change.)
WHAT IF? PROPOSAL(and explain why if you can): What if Eddie Brock bonded with the Toxin symbiote? (Explanation in the next section.)
Powers and a brief description of the character in proper English: The Toxin symbiote gives Eddie all the abilities of its father, Carnage, and its grandfather, Venom. Therefore, it has the ability to shoot webs, turn invisible, shape-shift, climb on walls, generate weapons from itself, etc.
(Still confused? Ok, here: ) Eddie Brock was at the peak of his career at the Daily Globe when he was approached by a man who claimed to be the infamous Sin-Eater. Eddie wrote a wonderful article called "MY INTERVIEW WITH THE SIN-EATER." Eddie respected the man's wishes, and therefore, he did use the man's name in the article. Eddie's popularity soared and pressure mounted. The police begged him to reveal the man's identity. Eddie wrote a follow-up article which revealed the man's identity.
(Now, here's where it deviates from the original.)
However, Eddie could not bring himself to publish it. The next day, Spider-Man revealed that Stan Carter was the real Sin-Eater. All along, Eddie had interviewed the wrong man. Eddie was embarrassed until he realized that nobody knew that he had screwed up. Eddie quickly destroyed the follow-up article and claimed that he knew it was Stan Carter all along. Eddie's life only got better from there. Now he was a respectable journalist, and he received all the perks that came with that.
However, it appeared that no one can escape their fate. Not even Eddie. One day, he came across the 1000th symbiote. Eddie had no clue what this thing was when it attached to him. Eddie was scared at first, but he learned to embrace it. Now that Eddie was no longer fueled by a hatred for Spider-Man, he used his new suit - which he nicknamed Toxin - to fight injustice and to protect the innocent.
Three reasons why you have chosen that character:
1. Eddie Brock is my favorite villain, (duh, look at my username), and I'm quite proud of this spin I put on him.
2. It'll be fun playing Eddie Brock as a true hero, not a villain or an anti-hero.
3. Toxin needs some love, too. :yay:
What can you bring to this game? I can bring a knowledge of how things are run around here, and therefore, I won't do anything that I know is wrong (such as bunny without permission, etc.)
How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: Frequently.
Do you know how to post pictures on the hype boards:

I say approved, but I'm not sure if I have that authority.
Good to have a third symbiote on the team.
And since I'm pretty sure that apprentice hasn't posted one in more than 2 weeks, I'll be applying for spider-man. He'll talk with your brock about some stuff.

This is what I was hoping for.
I don't think Cyrus'll mind.

I have to formulate a plan of some sort. I'm not even sure what route I want to go, but I have a design I'm going to use for the suit, etc. I just have to figure out some sort of explanation.

This is gonna be way the hell out of left field, but I think it'll be fun.
WHAT IF? MARVEL RPG SIGN-UP FORM
Screen Name: guitarsingerguy
Character you would like to play: Eugene "Flash" Thompson aka Venom
Powers and a brief description of the character in proper English: Flash Thompson went to the same high school as Peter Parker. In fact, he spent his days bullying Peter. After graduation, Flash reconciled with Peter and enlisted in the US Army. While serving, word of the hero Spiderman made its way into the military ranks. Flash was envious of the new found hero. Upon Spiderman becoming evil, the military put in motion a plan to fight the villain. Flash Thompson was chosen. The military experimented on his body giving him very similar powers to those of Spiderman. He had enhanced strength, agility, the ability to stick to objects, organic web shooters, even spider sense. Flash was given a gray and black costume made by the military and given the name Venom by his superiors.
http://www.alexrossart.com/galleries/spiderman/full/spiderman1.jpg
http://www.alexrossart.com/galleries/spiderman/full/spiderman3.jpg
Flash returned to New York ready to face his foe. After tailing Spiderman for several weeks, he realized that Peter Parker was Spiderman. Flash became clinically depressed at the thought of having to defeat his former companion. It was high school all over again. Since then, Flash has crawled into the bottom of a bottle, that is, until today.
Three reasons why you have chosen that character:
1. I think it's an interesting spin.
2. Will make it easy to work with Eddie.
3. Keep the RPG alive!
What can you bring to this game? Hopefully some fun and enjoyment.
How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: As many as necessary.
Do you know how to post pictures on the hype boards: Yes.

I only have one objection to your character GSG, Corrupted Spider-Man took the name venom in the last post but I'll fix that in my intermittent post.

No need for that man. I can simply come up with a different name. Any suggestions?

I'd try to come up with something that would be a reference to the comics.
Steel Spider, perhaps?
By the way, Spideyssuperfan, I'm going to do a TINY bunny of Spider-Carnage in part 2 of my prologue. Eddie is going to hear the police mention Spider-Carnage when he walks near a crime scene. After all, Spider-Carnage has to give birth to Toxin. Plus, this is all told in flashback, so it shouldn't interfere with Spider-Carnage.

Well, yeah. The idea wouldn't be to come up with some entirely new character. That kinda defeats the purpose of it all together. Any other suggestions just so I have a few choices?

Doppleganger? Yeah, that one kinda sucks.
In one What If? Story, Flash is bitten by the radioactive spider and he becomes Captain Spider. But that's kinda cheesy.

Steel Spider could work since the costume is gray. I guess I could really use Iron Spider as well if need be.

Yeah...
So wait, when it says that the FF were never formed, do they still have their powers or did that never happen either?
Kaboom
04-26-2007, 05:46 PM
heres what happened the ff did their trip into space. however when they came back, in one of their first missions together sue storm met Namor and fell in love.
They eloped. since shes unable to live underwater, Namor abandoned his underwater kingdom to live on land which created a power vacuum in atlantis and has lead to Namor and Sue being on the run from atlantean bounty hunters.
Reed became a recluse.
Johnny Storm, became John Storm, the head of Storm industries, and a movie star. Storm industries has become a weapons manufacturer selling to the government. Recently John Storm became the vice-president of the uinted States upon the presidents assasination and the then-vice president asecenion to the higher office.
Ben Grimm is employed by Storm Industries, and John's body guard and enforcer.
Sue was recently kidnapped by an unknown entity, and namor went to John for his help in finding her. Unfotunately, Mastermind had taken over John's Satellites, leaving JOhn essentially blind. Accordingly, John told Namor to disable Mastermind's satellite uplink as this was the only way to find Sue- Namor did so.
Namor is now on his way back to Storm Industries with Nocturne, and Sunspot.

Alright, never mind then. If nothing had happened with the FF (other than Sue), I was going to come up with something for Johnny.

I'm just going to take up the mantle of Steel Spider, so I'll be slightly changing my app up just a tiny bit.
Matt Murdock
04-26-2007, 09:21 PM
Sorry I didn't reply faster about the name.
I was planning on Scarlet Spider taking the Iron Spider identity in my next post, but, if you want the steel spider one you can take it.
Personally, I plan on changing the Spider-Man post anyway because it totally defeats the entire point of the what-if?. The what if essentially eliminated Venom by having a corrupt, evil, spider-man.
Personally, I think that the venom route is the absolutely wrong path to take. Let me know if I'm wrong, though.
Also, Chameleon will be making an appearance in the post i'm about to put up. There won't be a what-if attatched to him, and his appearance will be very traditional, so if anyone wants him in the future, it won't be a problem.

That's completely up to you. If you don't want to use the mantle, then I'll take it up simply because it sounds better then Steel Spider. It truly doesn't make any difference to me though.
Eddie Brock
04-26-2007, 09:55 PM
Ok, I came up with something off-the-wall for a major arc...
What if Morlun was Spider-Man from the future?
Imagine, at some point in the future, Peter is finally freed from the symbiote. He looks back at everything he did while under its influence and he decides that there is only one thing to do. He has to go back and kill himself before he grows too powerful.
Matt Murdock
04-26-2007, 09:57 PM
I'll think of some names, and we'll all decide on a good one.
Am I right about venom, though?

I think the whole point of the Original Spider-Man what if was that Spider-Man would never be able to rid himself of the symbiote.
I like the idea though.

I don't know...I'm trying to think of another What If? twist, but it isn't coming easily.
Besides which, even if I did Morlun, it would be temporary. I would much rather have a long-term character.
Is the roster going to get cleaned up? I don't want to kick anyone out...but my one idea was What If Hydro-Man and Sandman Never Separated? However, we already have a Sandman.
Matt Murdock
04-26-2007, 10:07 PM
Try an already taken character, see if you like it.

I'm sorry guys, but I'm going to have to drop out of this RPG. Exams are pretty much my life right now, and revision is paramount. I'm sorry to disappoint everyone who was in an arc with me, or going to be, but some things have to come first.
I'll return soon, I hope...but it's unfair to leave y'all hanging.

Hey, I am alive, just been rather busy. HIV test is like next week since you remembered, lol. I think it's funny to be honest. Anyhow, I love what's happening here!
I will be dropping punisher soon, as he's been unconscious for a very long time now.....lol.
It looks like spidey will be main focus at the mo, i wonder why at this time of the year......lol
anyway, I loved that morlun idea, the idea of spidey coming back to kill himself is shazam!
BUT, I think Jean Grey will need taking up soon, so Punisher might be dropped for her, as for mastermind, I still have some plans, but when solo-ing i forget to post as often, so I prefer working wth people, anyhow, let me know thoughts and stuff, and did I ever mention I love Toxin? One of my fav's, amazing artwork with the toxin series also! I expect lots of scans :)
Also, my E-mail if anyone needs it: CyrusBBales@hotmail.com

I check my E-mails daily at least, so if you need to get in touch, that's the best way :)

Without further ado:
WHAT IF? MARVEL RPG SIGN-UP FORM
Screen Name: Eddie Brock Jr.
Character you would like to play: Reed Richards, aka Dr. Doom.
WHAT IF? PROPOSAL(and explain why if you can): What if Reed Richards became Dr. Doom? (Explanation in the next section.)
Powers and a brief description of the character in proper English: Reed has the ability to stretch any part of his body and he can shapeshift. He is also extremely intelligent, allowing him to create unique devices and make multiple scientific break-throughs.
After losing Sue to Namor, Reed disappeared. He became a recluse and the world thought they had seen the last of the world-famous scientist. However, out in the desert, Reed began to plot. The emotional scars were too unbearable and Reed lost his mind. He built a large array of weapons and came back to New York as Dr. Doom.
Three reasons why you have chosen that character:
1. We need to see what happened to Reed.
2. We can't go on without Dr. Doom.
3. I love twisting characters.
What can you bring to this game? Reliability and quality.
How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: As many as needed.

Eddie Brock
04-28-2007, 04:19 PM
Guys, I was wondering...since this is the 1st season, we haven't come across this....but how does the season continuity work in this RPG?
I was thinking that every season should be its own story. That way, we can try different What If? proposals every season, rather than be held down by the ones established now.
Plus it's less intimidating to new players that way. They don't have to research past seasons.
I hope all that made sense.
Cyrusbales
04-28-2007, 04:22 PM
That was going to be the question I asked at the end of the season.....
Matt Murdock
04-28-2007, 04:23 PM
Cyrus, I'll bunny him.
EBJ, good idea. But that doesn't really make season to season RPGing much good in this one.
I think, though, that at the start of a new season, it might be good if we go over the past What-Ifs and see if there are any we want to retcon.
Eddie Brock
04-28-2007, 04:24 PM
That was going to be the question I asked at the end of the season.....
Because if I had signed up as Spider-Man at the start of the season, I would've done: What if Spider-Man had stopped Uncle Ben's killer?
It would be kinda similar to the What If? comic of the same concept.
I just need to know so I can plan on whether or not to leave cliffhangers at the end of the season.

*bursts into tears*
Then...
*sniffs*
I guess I'll have to...
*sniffs again*
drop Iron man.
I love writing as him, but there's an opportunity I can't pass up.
Unless someone desperately feels that I ought to keep him.
Matt Murdock
04-28-2007, 04:49 PM
Oh, and cyrus, I think we should alter the application so that it includes an area for a sample post.
Would that be ok?
Matt Murdock

I'm gonna put one in, just in case.

Im confused.
I mean Flash is trying to get a handle on Spiderman's life right now. I wouldn't mind an early confrontation just to set the ground work.
Matt Murdock
04-28-2007, 05:36 PM
Gotcha.
Well we don't have a spider-man.
Yet.
I'd say that we ought to give it about 10 - 20 minutes ;)

And now, Ladies and gents, it's time for another in-character application!
WHAT IF? MARVEL RPG SIGN-UP FORM
Screen Name: This poor slob's screen-name is Spideyssuperfan... heh. Nice to have a fan.
Character you would like to play:
Peter Parker, better known as the Terrifying...
The deadly...
The Amazing Spider-Man.
Aka me.
Peter? Peter Parker? What the hell are you doing on my computer?
Something you won't regret, tubby.
I am SO not tubby.
Right, and the Kingpin was a model before Daredevil slapped his fat ass to the curb.
Wow. You're in quite a bad mood, aren'tcha?
I've just decided to stop taking garbage from people. I make my own rules. I've decided to stop trying to make everyone happy.
So, your plan now is to make everyone miserable?
Misery loves company, bucko.
Nice suit....
Powers and a brief description of the character in proper English:
Proportional strength of a spider, spider sense, extreme agility, speed and reflexes. I built some cool wrist mounted web-spinners, but they're obsolete since I've had the...
The what?
Huh?
You were in the middle of telling us about your powers.
Oh right. My web-shooters are obsolete now that I've got my new costume...Which does...
It makes me stronger, faster, and more of a badass than I was before. Plus it creates organic webbing.
And this costume has NOTHING to do with your total dismissal of joy and all things good in the world?
Christ, what is it with the fifth degree? I'm an inch away from slapping you with my pimp hand.
Three reasons why you have chosen that character:
1. Psychotic Spider-Man being written by an utter loon. Do I really have to say more?
2. Spider-Man is my all-time favorite character. Ever.
3. It's an intriguing What if?
Please write, using proper grammar and English, a sample post in character:
Peter Parker wasn't himself. He never had been, really. In school, he was the nerd that nobody liked. Then, after that experiment, he was Spider-Man. A superhero, trying to do the right thing, that, surprise surprise, nobody liked. Then, he encountered that black goo. The goo had covered his own suit, giving him a new symbol and a refined control over his powers. He knew something was wrong with it. He tried to drive it away, but he didn't have the stomach to do it completely. The power the suit gave him... he couldn't deny that he enjoyed it. An overwhelming sense of freedom had driven him to put his Spider-Man costume on in those first weeks he had the new suit.
Then things got crazy. First, he thought that his attitude had changed with the suit. In time, though he started to think differently. He'd done things he had never thought of doing before. Hurting people, murdering them, even. The first was the Vulture. His life had gone so easily. A quick kill.
The evil inside Peter, the constant and raging urge for revenge had been heightened by the black costume. For a while, Peter was in control, fighting the anger, pain, and temptation that came with such power. But eventually, he gave in.
Don't be mistaken, the Black Suit was a hero, or at least trying to be. That part of Peter had rubbed off on it. That, however, was the only part.
Parker had even managed to escape the symbiote's cold, unforgiving grasp for a few bittersweet moments. But, in the end, he was again captured by it.
The moment that Peter Parker was truly lost, however, was when the Suit killed Madame Web, the one chance Peter had at saving himself.
He had blown up at Aunt May, he had let Mary Jane kill her own father, but he had never truly hurt anyone he had cared about before. Not until then, at least.
Peter Parker is sleeping right now. Well, that's not saying much, he's never really there. It's just the suit. But the suit, too is sleeping. Dreaming of what could be.
http://www.modelman5.com/images/venom.jpg
<There is no 'we', no 'us' -- I am in control and I love it. Spider-Man is no more! Instead, meet..."
"Venom!"
My eyes snap open after seeing that horrible image. I, Peter Parker, really hope that was a sick dream. I look around and see that I've fallen asleep on a gargoyle on the Empire State building... again.
"Good Morning, New York! Are you ready for another Spider-riffic day?!" I say sarcastically.
I lunge off of the building and shoot a webline out and catch onto the underside of a news chopper. Heh. News.... what've they ever done for me? They make me out to be a ruthless, killing, evil freak. Alright, so nowadays those things are quite true. But, before, before I had taken control of my own life, I was a good man. An honest man.
I hear a cry come from an alleyway. Several sirens sound. The cops'll get there soon.
They can have the left overs.
I land on the fire escape of the building that is on the side of the alleyway. Typically, I'd hate making a massive noise when arriving on a crime scene, but I don't sweat the small stuff anymore.
I slide down a webline from the bottom of the high fire escape and see a man holding a knife to a woman's throat as he starts undressing her.
I slide down so that I'm right behind him.
"Ahem." I say. He whirls around and drops the knife. "Shouldn't you buy this kind woman a drink first? Call me old-fashioned, but that's what I'd do."
He grabs her around the throat and heaves her in front of him. I hesitate... something I haven't done in a while.
Why do I even bother hesitating? This guy is chump change.
"Oh, please, puddin'. I could use your face as a squeegee for my windshield if I wanted to." I grin under my mask.
"Say, that's not a bad idea!" I shoot a webline out and catch him around the face. I heave him into the air along with me and hurl him out of the alleyway.
He lands hard on the top of a cab, sending the advertisement on top flying.
I swing casually off of the webline and spin around a nearby traffic light, letting go so that I land right next to the cab.
I grab the man by his hair and haul him down onto the hood, with his face facing the driver's seat. "Still with me, big guy?"
He grumbles.
"Good." I web his hands behind his back, pull his head back, and smash his face through the windshield.
"We go left and right to get the best clean! Up and down will just leave streaks."
I run his face through the windshield, from left to right, ensuring that every possible shard is lodged in his disgusting face.
I whistle a merry tune as he cries for mercy.
Once the windshield is completely knocked out, I pull the panting criminal out and put him on his knees on the ground next to the cab.
"I sure hope you don't have brain trauma. Y'know... we oughta check!" I ram his head into the side of the cab. He cries and bleeds more, but I didn't hear a crack.
I hit his head with the cab again.
And again.
I go a few more, devastating times until I hear a loud crack.
"Bingo." I say, punching him hard in the forehead. His remaining skin is indented, flat, and lifeless upon his forehead and his eyes slowly roll into the back of his head. Blood starts to seep from most every hole on his head and I drop his lifeless corpse to the ground.
"Y'know... in the medical profession I think this is when a patient 'dies on the table'." I say, chuckling.
I hear the screeching of tires and glance over my shoulder. A few police cruisers have arrived. The officers have their doors open and are aiming at me with their firearms.
One fires a bullet at me and it hits me in the shoulder.
The bullet falls to the ground, leaving me unscathed.
"Man. This is the thanks I get for doin' my civic duty?"
What can you bring to this game? Plenty of blood. And the occasional game of Yahtzee!
How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: Lets see...
I have a skull cracking on noon that day.
My hands are tied with the insane hero Calendar shoot on Wednesday.
I have a motion picture coming out on Friday...
Looks like I won't be able to post much at all.
I'll be able to post as much as possible, though. Especially now that the RPG is back up and running.
Do you know how to post pictures on the hype boards:

WHAT IF? MARVEL RPG SIGN-UP FORM
Screen Name: Cyrusbales
Character you would like to play: Jean Grey
Powers and a brief description of the character in proper English: Jean has powers of telepathy and telekinesis; they have been greatly enhanced by Shi'ar technology. She also is accompanied everywhere by her personal guard, the immensely powerful Gladiator. All her natural abilities have been upped to above normal human levels.
Three reasons why you have chosen that character:
1. Well we have a phoenix.....
2. Never played a chick before!
3. Cause I want to do more stuff....
What can you bring to this game? Well I brought the game in fact, so anything else is a bonus! :wow:
How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: as many as possible
Do you know how to post pictures on the hype boards:
http://www.adherents.com/lit/comics/img/JeanGrey.jpg
WHAT IF? PROPOSAL(and explain why if you can):
Continuing from before, where jean was thought to be the posseser of the phoenix force, so was abducted by the Shi'ar, until they found she was not, so experimented on her until she was incredibly tough and sent her with her companbion Gladiator to retrieve the phoenix force.....
Cyrusbales
05-03-2007, 06:29 AM
and I shall approve myself with that much :)

Cyrusbales
05-03-2007, 10:56 AM
the way i figure it, there needed to be someone who could have a shot at taking her down, what better way than having someone who is entirely designed with years upon years worth of knowledge from an alien race soley to take her down!
I feel this rpg's first lesbian kiss on its way...

Lol, never been called a lesbian before.....

Just another Jean post, building up her character a little bit and her frame of mind, rather than being a mindless actioner, I'm gonna try to build her up nicely and stuff :) Prob one of my fav What if's so far, shame I didn't come up with it!

He should enlist spidey.

Eddie Brock
05-12-2007, 10:16 PM
Ok, after reading SSF's latest SS post, I really want each season to be stand-alone. I want to see some definite closure on the Spider-Man story...whether it's a happy ending or otherwise.
Besides, we can all come up with, like, 5 different What If?'s for any given character. It should be a crime to not use them all.
Matt Murdock
05-12-2007, 11:07 PM
In that case the Seasons are going to need to be extremely long.
Eddie Brock
05-12-2007, 11:11 PM
In that case the Seasons are going to need to be extremely long.
Probably...but doesn't it make more sense this way?
Matt Murdock
05-12-2007, 11:13 PM
It would work either way. I personally would prefer having season to season continuity work, but with the what if changing whenever the player wanted it to.
Eddie Brock
05-12-2007, 11:16 PM
It would work either way. I personally would prefer having season to season continuity work, but with the what if changing whenever the player wanted it to.
But you can't change the What If? without affecting everyone.
For instance, say someone wants to re-write Sue's What If?
Then my Dr. Doom What If? has no point because Sue never married Namor.
It's the Butterfly Effect, man.
Matt Murdock
05-12-2007, 11:40 PM
Not necessarily. If a What-if was discontinued with a character, all the player would have to do would be to write a detailed explanation in an incharacter post of why the what if no longer applied.
For some, like Spider-Man and Ben Reilly, it's as simple as losing a symbiote.
For Iron Man, he could build in a failsafe to his Iron Man suits and then utilize it at the right time.
The what-if wouldn't apply, but the repercussions of the what if would.
Cyrusbales
05-13-2007, 01:13 PM
well we'll take a vote on it when we reach the end of the season, which is a long way off people!
Eddie Brock
05-13-2007, 01:19 PM
well we'll take a vote on it when we reach the end of the season, which is a long way off people!
That may be true...but it changes how you write the character towards the end of the season.
If it IS an ongoing thing, then you can plan for cliffhangers and you can do an arc to set you up for Season II.
But if it's not, you need to know so you can prepare to write an ending that brings closure to the character,
So I think the vote has to occur towards the end, but with a reasonable amount of time so that if we go with the latter option, people have time to end whatever arc they are in and write the conclusion for their character.
Cyrusbales
05-13-2007, 01:34 PM

Well, that happens in every RPG....it's just worse here for some reason.

Cause it's the what-if rpg, so fantasies can be realized in a single post
no-one seems to be bothered :(
Just waiting for you to post :p

Regardless of whether this RPG revives itself or not, I won't be returning (:csad:).
If you've been to any of the other RPG threads, you'll see that I've been lightening my character load....long story short? I'm in 3 RPGs here (not including this one) and 6 RPGs at Syn's board (with 1 in production).

There we go, now there's a reply.

to be honest tho, with three people, an RPG can't really survive too well, I know you two post regularly and stuff, but unless we get more regulars, it's gonna slip into the darkness of the forgotten realm :(

WHAT IF? MARVEL RPG SIGN-UP FORM
Screen Name: xman:blacklight :xmen:
Character you would like to play: Vision
Powers and a brief description of the character in proper English: The Vision possesses complete control over his density, and so is able to render himself intangible or extraordinarily massive and diamond-hard at will. He can partially materialize within another person, causing his victim extreme pain. The solar cell on the Vision's forehead emits beams of infrared and microwave radiation, with temperatures ranging from 500 to 30,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
Three reasons why you have chosen that character:
1. I would like to play the Vision in a way never done before.
2. I like Visions character.
3. I think this RPG needs some good storylines right now
What can you bring to this game? My complete knowledge of the Marvel Universe. My creative talents and huge imagination.
How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: AMAP (as much as possible)
Do you know how to post pictures on the hype boards: yes

WHAT IF? PROPOSAL(and explain why if you can): What if the Scarlet Witch made the Vision human?

WHAT IF? MARVEL RPG SIGN-UP FORM
Screen Name: xman:blacklight
Character you would like to play: Spider-Woman
Powers and a brief description of the character in proper English:Jessica possesses superhuman strength (can lift at least up to 7 tons), endurance and speed. She can focus her bioelectric energy into "venom blasts" sufficient to stun or kill normal humans, and she can also adhere to almost any surface. Jessica rapidly forms an immunity to all poisons and drugs, and is totally immune to radiation. Her metabolism generates pheromones which attract human males while repulsing females, though she uses a chemical "perfume" that can nullify this effect. Jessica has lost and regained her powers more than once, but has recently emerged with her powers restored greater than ever.
Three reasons why you have chosen that character:
1. I would like to play Jessica Drew as an evil person.
2. I would like to tell a great story as Jessica.
3. I would like to be a part of this RPG.
What can you bring to this game? My great creativity and imagination and knowledge of all things Marvel.
How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: as much as possible.
Do you know how to post pictures on the hype boards: yes.

BTW Cyrus, I put 2 apps so you can pick one for me. I only want one for now. I might take up the other one later.

To be honest with you, this RPG needs several regular posters, I have no problem accepting your Vision app, but not enough people play at the moment, if other hop on-board and help thigns roll again, then all is great!

personally, I'd like to do the Spider-Woman symbiote. I think I'll accept that as my app.
Cyrusbales

well all the symbiote stuff has already been done in this continuity so far, so there is no room for another symbiote, we even have a toxin, lol.

I planned on using the symbiote named Agony.

IF people want this RPG to actually continue, there are several options open,
-We get a load of regular posters and carry on....
-We restart from scratch, writing off what we have so far, but maintaining the concept of the what if structure etc.
-We leave it for a while, like a suspension, and hope people come around to the idea in coming months etc.
Other than that, death is the only option my compadre's....
Cyrusbales
07-02-2007, 05:54 PM
We could always replace this thread with an existing what if universe, like MC2 or 2099.
you have your option gentlemen, please continue....

I say, let this thingy die and do something else. Maybe revive the Multiversers Unlimited over in the Misc/Others section.
Matt Murdock

The other symbiote theory isn't possible. They were taken from Venom, who, in this continuity, has yet to be established. As such, those symbiotes aren't even alive yet.
Matt Murdock
07-04-2007, 06:41 PM
Tell ya what, XM:BL, come up with better (think more extreme) "What-If's" and I'll approve you.
Why not use this RPG as a training ground for the kid?
Matt Murdock
07-04-2007, 06:42 PM
Or pick up another character, with a pre-determined "What-If?"
Cyrusbales
07-04-2007, 06:42 PM
Well seems like a plan I guess, as long as it's something very creative, and even better if it affects other characters too....
Cyrusbales
07-04-2007, 06:43 PM
seen noon around lately? She up for continuing our little ruccus?

I gotta agree w/ byrd. This seems to have lost all its posters. :( I think a restart is needed. Something to rehype and all that.
Cyrusbales
07-05-2007, 04:59 PM
Since it's already here as an RPG, we may as well do what we can to make the most of it..... complete restart with the same concept anyone?

well we need at least three votes from people saying they want a restart, and then I'll set it up :)
Byrd Man
07-05-2007, 05:12 PM
I say :down Nay. It failed once, chances are it's gonna happen again. Now a Silver Age Marvel RPG might be better........
Always willing to give it another go, i was having fun til everyone just stopped :(

Whatever happened to gsg?
Cyrusbales
07-05-2007, 05:29 PM
we have two reboot votes.....
Since the threads are actually here, it won't make a difference to the hype if we do continue it....so i'm up for it, another vote or two to reboot is always ideal...
Cyrusbales
07-05-2007, 05:38 PM
continuing the grey/rogue arc, so we can use that for closure, as the phoenix is a decent enough force to END a continuity :)

With so many new RPG's etc, me and noon finsihed up the season thread, it's still there for your enjoyment, with some great stuff and idea's, perhaps in a year or so, we can give it another whirl, but I got the thread closed now.
Twas great guys.
