...Honestly, and I'm not trying to be mean, as you know I would've loved to see that MC2 RPG get up and running, but I think you should've thought it out a little more before applying.

Putting up an app without a backstory or even so much as a couple of selected moderators isn't nessacarily building confidence that you can be as organised with the actual game itself, which an RPG requires in order to run properly.

That said, I'm willing to wait until said sections are properly filled out, as you've said you will, for my final call on whether or not this should get my vote to be approved.

I am coming up with an Awesome Long backstory, but it might take awhile to do it. Like the Gods, Future and New Age, their backstories took about a day, and about the GM thing, I realized that I can't GM, I need someone good to GM. I realized that all the Applications I've submitted were RPG's that I wanted to play, not GM. I'm not ready. I'm still pretty new to it, and unless all the experienced RPers think I'm good enough to GM, I don't think I can. Please consider accepting this. This is a perfect combinaton of Marvel, MC2 and New Age. I can come up with an awesome backstory and a head and assistant GM's in no time. :woot:

[Kaboom]

Do you want to know how it happened? How we got here? To this place? It was the perfect storm.

When did it began? Maybe it began with the birth of mutants. Maybe it began on the ill-fated space flight.

All I know is now, I am not allowed to act. Just observe...

Just watch.

The Skrull Empire. Always at war with the SHi'ar, until there was no longer a shi'ar, until there was only a Vulcan Empire. Vulcan who returned to Earth to wage war against humanity, except the humanity he found had become enslaved to those very same Skrulls.

How? The Illuminati. Charles Xavier. Black Bolt. Namor the Submariner. Reed Richards. Doctor Strange. All replaced by Skrulls. Why? Because they were the keepers of the infinte gems.

Except the Hulk came back. And war was raged.

The end result? A feifdom. The entire planet came under the rule of the Skrull EMpire. Except Africa. The intial cradle of civilization. There the last vestages of humanity remain protected by Bruce Banner himself.

The 198? Scattered through the world, living as nomads. Some are turncoats having aligned themselves with the Skrulls.

Our other heroes? Our Avengers? reduced to guerilla warriors trying in vain to take back our planet, one splinter cell at a time.

All set against the coming return of Vulcan, Emperor of the High Vulcan Empire with Deathbird as his mate.

And me. Franklin Richards. The most powerful being in the universe...forbidden to interfere. Alowed only to watch.

Yes, this is the future of 616. This is its New Age.

[Kaboom]

if that sounds good to everyone i can flesh it out more, with a timeline. who lives, who dies, etc.

[Blacklight]

Do you want Head GM Kaboom?

Sounds good, if you need help fleshing stuff out, or have more thoguhts, just let me know!

[Kaboom]

id rather get some peoples input on the premise before investing that amount of time in it.

[Kaboom]

Do you want Head GM Kaboom?
i owuld have no problems doing that, assuming its a playground people want to play in.

[Red]

Hmm...I get the feeling the there are already enough Marvel-related RPG's and the whole section is a bit slow right now. Perhaps this should be held off until people can better prioritize themselves.

theres 3, Dawn, Ultimate, and the other one.

i dont play in ultimate, or the other one. but my understanding is those should be going to hiatus soon. this could be played before the next season starts.

in any event, there could be 100 marvel rpgs and if there are people willing to play in them they should be allowed to.

[Blacklight]

As for the death list Kaboom, I have a couple suggestions:

Nick Fury
MJ (cliche, I know)
Iron Man
Cap
Hulk
Daredevil
Some X-Men, maybe even Wolvie
Jessica Drew
Moon Knight
Falcon
and Iron Fist.

[Red]

Hiatuses? If you are refering the a gap between seasons, that doesn't last longer than a week, if that.

The truth is the RPG community is a small minority of Hype and there aren't enough of us to spread over all the RPG. You yourself are in what seems like 6 RPG's, I'm sure you can't commit to posting once a day for each. Everyone is spreading themselves too thin, and another RPG especially another Marvel based one, will not help matters.

'Course this is all my 2 cents, you're free to do as like.

how do you come up with death lists? and how can i kill Hulk when he's humanity's leader?

[Saved]

This in continuity with Spider-Man reign?

[Kaboom]

This in continuity with Spider-Man reign?
right now there is no real continuity. i was extrapolating to the end of the world war hulk and the coming skrull war to create a world where human kind and mutant kind have been taken over. it would be a whole new spin. im not real familiar with spider-man reign, but it either could be or could not be included.

[Saved]

Ok then.

[Batman]

Death lists should be up to whoever plays what character. Say someone wanted to play Spider-Man. They and they alone should have the option of whether or not MJ or Aunt May are dead. (Though I can't imagine Aunt May actually still being alive, by this point.) The lists should be added to as characters are taken up, not before... that limits the options of who can be used and who can't.

At least, that's what I think.

i agree--unless the death of the character factors into the backstory but at this time since the backstry is loose, if someone wants to reserve a character then we can cut that problem off at the pass.

[Saved]

I agree with MB, but there should be some Deadlists of X-men, villians, and heroes so it shows how bleak the world is.
Though it doesn't mean those people are truly dead.

[Eddie Brock]

You know I'd love to, but like everyone's said - I'm stretched too thin.

Granted, the Movie RPG is looking to be going down the pooper, so that's two less characters for me to worry about. :o:csad:

[Blacklight]

how do you come up with death lists? and how can i kill Hulk when he's humanity's leader?
Sorry, forgot about the Africa part. I bet BP is pi$$ed about that.:woot: and I thought that some heroes would be dead so other people could take up there mantles, like in New Age DC.

[Eddie Brock]

BL and Kaboom, either of you have ideas for what characters you're reserving?

[Kaboom]

The essential story seems to be the skrulls win the skrull war and take over earth. All humans have been moved to africa where they are protected and ruled over by Hulk who has essentially bartered with the Skrulls to keep Africa free---kind of like a penal colony for humans.

and this is set against the Vulcan Empire returning to earth.

The only people who are presumed dead are the illuminati, seeing as how thats integral to the story (since they were replaced by the skrulls and were the ones who sent hulk off world).

[Kaboom]

i actually thought about being Apoc

or maybe nate grey.

[Blacklight]

BL and Kaboom, either of you have ideas for what characters you're reserving?
I want to play Elektra as the New Daredevil after Matt Murdock dies.

[Saved]

Not a fan of this idea...

[Eddie Brock]

So Spider-Man is alive and available? :ninja:

[Saved]

So Spider-Man is alive and available? :ninja:Go ahead. He'll be 60.

[Eddie Brock]

Well, one thing that definitely needs addressing - how far in the future are we talking here?

[Kaboom]

aside from hulk and the illuminati, everyone is available. and we dont need to set it 30 years in the future. it can be 10. i havent fleshed out the backstory yet just the general premise.

essentially what if earth was actually conquered. how would we fight back?

[Blacklight]

Not a fan of this idea...
Why? Do you know how many heroes became DD?

[Saved]

Why? Do you know how many heroes became DD?
Yeah. But Elektra becoming DD seems...farfetched IMO.

It was either that idea or Pepper Potts becoming "Iron Woman" for me.:woot:

Anyway its not my decision so don't let me stop you. Its just my input.

[Kaboom]

oy vey. XBL you had a good idea, dont go ruining it.

[Blacklight]

oy vey. XBL you had a good idea, dont go ruining it.
I know. Maybe just Matt Murdock DD.

And maybe all the heroes can get some awesome futuristic suits.

[Kaboom]

Time Frame: Ten years in the future

see earlier posts for general premise.

The initiating event was the Skrull war. Apparently, the Skrulls have invaded Earth years before and were simply awaiting "activation."

Think the jedi massacre.

Because since the Illuminati were Skrulls, everyone under them were taken out of comission

Iron Man- director of SHIELD and the avengers.
Doctor Strange- the other avengers and other mystics.
Xavier- all things X
Namor-Atlanteans
Black Bolt-Inhumans
Mister Fantastic- the FF.

If this is a go, I will tweak the APP.

what happened to your character during the invasion?
where is your character currently stationed?
What are his objectives?

[Kaboom]

I know. Maybe just Matt Murdock DD.

And maybe all the heroes can get some awesome futuristic suits.
no more fighting over costumes!

[Blacklight]

no more fighting over costumes!
I concur.

[Eddie Brock]

So basically Africa = Zion, and the Skrulls = the Machines...using a Matrix analogy?

[Blacklight]

Kaboom, would the heroes and villians be working together for all intents and purposes against the skrulls?

[Kaboom]

So basically Africa = Zion, and the Skrulls = the Machines...using a Matrix analogy?

i dont know so much if its teh matrix. maybe a more apro pro analogy would be if when europeans came america, and segregated the native americans into camps. what if they decided to fight back?

or maybe the jewish slave revolt against the pharaoah.

its essentially a conquered people deciding to take back what has been taken from them.

[Kaboom]

Kaboom, would the heroes and villians be working together for all intents and purposes against the skrulls?

i dont know. that is what everyone could decide. I do not invision a future where there is a united front against the skrulls, more like side pockets each doing theyre own thing.

Well, I just meant in the sense that Africa is the last human refuge...so that's where everyone would be, correct?

[Kaboom]

not necessarily. humans/mutants/ who want to be free of skrull intereference would be in africa.

anyone else ..well the world is big...lots of places to hide.

Well, in that case, Spidey'll still be in New York...which I assume will basically be a Skrull wasteland?

[Kaboom]

skrulls can either start their own cities, or take over existing ones.

existing cities can either be inhabited by Skrulls, or ghost town/old west types.

[Eddie Brock]

Since you're using World War Hulk and the impending Skrull crossover...it's pretty safe to assume that Spider-Man's unmasking still exists in this continuity? If so, is there any way to just magically poof that away?

Yeah, don't include it in the continuity.

[Eddie Brock]

Yeah, don't include it in the continuity.
Especially since it'll be hard for Peter Parker to fly under the radar (like I planned) if his identity is known.

[Gallagher]

Hello RPer's. I'm a newbie when it comes to things like this I admit. However I love to write and think I could do it if I gave it a try.

This seems like a fascinating idea, I'd love to play an aging Victor Von Doom, desperately trying to hold onto Latveria as the Skrull enslave his people.

I'm sorry in advance if I get anything wrong, like I said, this is new for me.

Well, It's late and I'm fairly tired after work so I'm not up to writing anything new tonight, but here is something I wrote a while ago featuring Doom.



Lightening danced across the midnight sky illuminating the grassy region known as Latveria. An old structure stood atop a hill looming over a small village like a deadly shadow, its walls high and its moat deep, a fortress.
Inside music and entertainment occupied the inhabitants. People cheered and laughed at the jesters and musicians, the food was warm and the drink plenty, yet still an air of mysticism and foreboding claimed the otherwise joyous halls.

“More wine! Were down to the last dozen bottles! At the rate Ivan is throwing it down it won’t last out the night.” Joked a hearty man, his beard slightly unkept yet otherwise smartly dressed, an air of importance and nobility surrounded him.
“Bah! I’m doing the drinking for the both of us it seems old friend. It’s a celebration is it not?” Ivan took another large swig of his drink.
“Sure looks that way, although I’m not entirely sure what were s’posed to be celebrating”, hiccupped another man, food crammed into his mouth by an eager fist.
The hall was filled with people celebrating, Long tables scattered around, filled to the brim with food. Another loud cheer erupted as several entertainers began to juggle with flame.

An unoccupied throne stood at the end of the stretching hall, its grandeur and elegance said a lot about its owner, the instigator of these festivities. The lord’s absence had not gone unnoticed; many of the conversations that night were discussions of the whereabouts of one Victor Von Doom.

“Humph, he’s probably in the basement tinkering away at his beloved machines. He’s so far in his own little world that he has most likely forgotten about the invitations he sent out.” Another nobleman declared in a rather loud and obnoxious voice.
“Not so loud Hector, You forget that you are but a Lord of Latveria, Victor is our ruler and you’d best stay your tongue. Yes, the people love him.”
“Well the people aren’t privy to his company, he’s psychotic. We’d be better off without him; we were more than comfortable before his arrival. What makes the son of a gypsy so special that he usurps the governors and seizes our land? He probably only keeps us around to amuse himself.” Hector said loudly so everybody could here.

“And amusing you are Lord Hector” A towering figure had taken up his throne, a cloaked hood casting shadows over his masked face.
“I am well aware of the court’s mindset; you would have me killed, if you were not so spineless.”
“Lord Doom, let me be the first to congratulate you on such a fine feast.” Squealed a small man, his face clearly terrified at the mere sight of his dictator. “I’m sure I speak for everyone when I say your are most mistaken sire, we do not wish you harm. Hector has had a bit too much to drink, that is all. We are lo-”
“I am mistaken am I? You think I am wrong? That I am not wise?” Doom interrupted before the small man could finish. Now practically trembling the man stepped back toward the rest of the nobles.
“No, no of cour-”
“You think you can do a better job of leading the people of Latveria? You wish to usurp me is that it?” Doom said calmly, his voice deep yet unthreatening.
The man did not speak. Hector decided to in his stead. “Now see here Doom-” A burst of energy sent the soon to be lifeless body of Hector slamming against a far wall.
The room gasped and looked at the singed corpse, looking between there ruler and there dead friend most of the noblemen just stood and stared. Victor Von Doom rose from his chair silently and surveyed his audience.
“Anybody else care to share their sentiments?” The room was deathly silent. The small man stepped forward.

“My lord… Why did you call us all here?”
“I am going away for a time. Do not fret, for I shall return. In my place I leave you all in charge of your respective lands.” Doom answered, speaking to his guests with a sneer beneath his mask. ‘Pathetic creatures’ Victor thought. He hated the fact he actually had use for these snivelling beings. It had been Doom who had taken control of these people 4 years ago, given them freedom and order, and how do they repay him? With disloyalty and murderous intentions.
“I shall take care of certain situations upon my return.”
“Where are you going Lord Doom? And for how long?” spoke Ivan.
“Do not worry, I shall return in a short while. I am going away on business; a certain item has come to my attention, an item I desire greatly. But it is no business of yours Ivan, nor of anybodies in this hall. Now leave, all of you. I must prepare for my trip.” The nobles began to slowly exit the hall constantly looking between the body of Hector and there dictator, Dr. Doom.
By the time the men had reached the doors Doom had left his throne, his sweeping cloak lashed behind a door on his way down to the dungeons.

“We can’t allow this to continue” Whispered a man to the rest “Doom’s departure may give us the opportunity we need”…


Hope that's OK, its a fairly recent prologue to a bigger story that never got off the ground.

EBJ- Spider-Man

I'll help ya GM. I may not be able to get in the game for a while, but I can sure as hell help you at GMing. ;)

BTW, Cap Chosen is for the new Cap replacement. Steve Rogers is gone for at least 2 years. :(

[Gallagher]

I had an idea for when the RP starts, how about everybody writes a short prologue of what their character(s) were doing on the day the Skrull took over, call it S-day if you like. Just an idea. :yay:

[Oh Snap!]

Captain America: The Chosen isn't about replacing the 616 Captain America though, it's a Marvel Knights title (akin to Spider-Man: Reign or the several The End books). It's definetly not in continuity, as far as I know.

Not right now, I'm in too many RPG's as it stands and don't want to spread myself out anymore than I already have.

I agree with X that there are already enough RPG's for my liking in the Marvel forum and also don't like a few of the idea's being thrown around.

But I'll see how it goes I guess :o.

Well, I don't think it'd just be a day. I think a takeover like this would span over months, with the humans fighting for as long as they can before stopping.

[Gallagher]

Oh ok, I envisioned it as a very quick takeover, akin to war of the worlds, were it takes a matter of hours/days. Was my sample OK Eddie?

I see no flaw (with the sample).

But the difference is that in War of the Worlds, you didn't have superheroes fighting back. That only prolongs the process.

Yes, that is a lot more logical. I see where your coming from now. And thank you.

For some reason (this is totally out of the blue) I feel it would be really effective if someone like Deadpool was a casualty, gives it that feeling of no one is spared. Not even the nigh-invlunerable 4th wall breaking comic relief.

Anyway, I'm getting ahead of myself, we need more players before going into detail I assume?`

[Kaboom]

rally the troops! i think this would make a great story especially since it takes our heroes who usually work to keep the status quo and switches the gambit around to make it all age of apocalypsy...

I seriously need to buy Age of Apocalypse because I have never read all of it. Just bits and pieces. The premise always had me interested, same thing with this RPG showing the Heroes and Villains in a different time and situation than they would normally appear.
I'm quite excited by this, hope we can get it approved.

[Blacklight]

One or two characters? Let's Vote!


Also, I think that Kaboom is right and a death list might not be neccesary yet, but for my "Elektra being the new Daredevil in honor of Matt Murdock who died bravely rebelling against the Skrulls" idea, any body who wants to reserve a character should decide if anyone in their storyline is alive or dead, a great example being that EBJ has got dibs on Spidey, so he should decide if MJ is dead or not, and a different perspective being is if someone wanted to play Moon Knight, but he isn't Marc Spector, just another person being Moon Knight because he's retired or dead, they could add Marc Spector to the casualties, and with that said:

We should have these as rules:

So that way we can be extra-creative.

[Eddie Brock]

Might I suggest that, in addition to a Dead List, we have a Skrull List?

That way, we can keep track of what heroes were secretly Skrulls at the time of the takeover.

That's a great idea. It could give players a chance to explain their characters backstories better.

[Gallagher]

That's a great idea. It could give players a chance to explain their characters backstories better.

So the Illuminati (Including "That Blasted Richards") were Skrulls then? I'm sorry I don't keep up with current Marvel comics as often as I should. Or are the Illuminati just dead? I have a great story in mind if Richards is dead. :yay:

Just for the record I kinda liked your Elektra = DareDevil idea :woot:

[Cyrusbales]

Okies, just a thought, but we're gona need villains right? And everyone always plays as heroes, and I always end up picking up the villain tab in every RPG, if that's something I have to do here, then I can live with that I guess. Which characters in this RPG are gonna be pretty necessary(either in PC or massive inferance and NPC'ing)?

-Hulk
-Vulcan

These two spring to mind, depending on the timeframe, for example, how long do we have before vulcan returns etc?



If I choose a hero, Ghost Rider is looking a pretty good bet, but due to the time frame, There would probably be a new GR by then.

Anyway, Kaboom, give me a few bits an pieces o backstory you want me to work on, and I'll do it, much like the 'manorians' in the future RPG, I wrote about 10 pages(didn't post it all) from just 2 sentences :)

[Gallagher]

Okies, just a thought, but we're gona need villains right? And everyone always plays as heroes, and I always end up picking up the villain tab in every RPG, if that's something I have to do here, then I can live with that I guess.

I have reserved Victor Von Doom, who is, in this time frame, definitely a 'walk the line' type figure. Doom is going to do things for both good and evil. So I got the Villain side covered slightly.

By the way, just to refresh my memory, Vulcan was Scott Summers other brother was he not? Gabriel Summers?

[Cyrusbales]

Yeah, Vulcan is the harcore member of the Summers family. lol

[Gallagher]

Yeah, Vulcan is the harcore member of the Summers family. lol

I was lucky to have picked up Deadly Genesis not so long ago then otherwise I would have had no idea who the hell you guys were talking about :woot:

[Kaboom]

So the Illuminati (Including "That Blasted Richards") were Skrulls then? I'm sorry I don't keep up with current Marvel comics as often as I should. Or are the Illuminati just dead? I have a great story in mind if Richards is dead. :yay:

Just for the record I kinda liked your Elektra = DareDevil idea :woot:

the illuminati were the skrulls:

reed richards
namor
blackbolt
tony stark
doctor strange
charles xavier

the reason the skrulls chose they illuminati were because they are basically in control of every super powered resistance the skrulls would come up against and because they were in the posession of the infinty gems.

The people I invision having died on the first day of the take over are cyclops, emma frost, jean grey (but shes already dead), ms. marvel, luke cage, gorgon, sue storm, wong.

only because those are the people who would most likely have opposed the illuminati and who would have needed to have been "purged"--think star wars and the jedi purge.

which is also why civil war was instigated, to give the heroes an opportunity to off themselves before the main invasion.

Okies, just a thought, but we're gona need villains right? And everyone always plays as heroes, and I always end up picking up the villain tab in every RPG, if that's something I have to do here, then I can live with that I guess. Which characters in this RPG are gonna be pretty necessary(either in PC or massive inferance and NPC'ing)?

-Hulk
-Vulcan

My thoughts are that Vulcan should return in the last post of season I.

However, what I think would make this awesome, is if we make this a 2 or 3 character rpg, the alternative character must be from the shi'ar/vulcan story.

As for hulk, i invision him as a kind of like a protector of Africa, thats always around but never seen. if someone wants to PC him though, i suppose thats fine.

[Cyrusbales]

Cool, I won't PC hulk then, just having a few thoughts tis all.

The problem with the Vulcan arc, is that there may not be enough characters to go around for people in it.

[Kaboom]

By the way, all my modern marvel knwoledge comes from the hype, so I'm a little out of touch, classic marvel i smore my thing, so a lot of this stuff will take me a while to learn etc.

By the way, all my modern marvel knwoledge comes from the hype, so I'm a little out of touch, classic marvel i smore my thing, so a lot of this stuff will take me a while to learn etc.

I'm in the same boat, nowadays I only really keep up with The Ultimates. (The book not the whole Universe)

[Cyrusbales]

I kinda keep up with ultimates universe, but I stick to reading classic things now, mainly hellblazer and hellboy are my two main reads at the mo, good stuff.

Anyhow, my knowledge of current marvel :

Illuminati, and the whole situation with them and the hulk etc etc.

I have no real idea about x-men and i briefly read some of civil war.

I'm going to pick up annhialation soon though, looks like on eof the best major marvel arcs in years.

[Matt Murdock]

Does anyone have dibs on Deadpool or Daredevil?

[Kaboom]

Does anyone have dibs on Deadpool or Daredevil?
xbl wants to play as elektra using the daredevil name.

deadpool is free.

[Matt Murdock]

Dibs on the Merc with a Mouth.

What about matt murdock himself?

[Kaboom]

Dibs on the Merc with a Mouth.

What about matt murdock himself?
nothing is being done with him, however since XBL called dibs on the name daredevil....i presume that matt is either dead or retired.

[Kaboom]

The day everything changed:

Nobody saw it coming. There were rumblings of course. Jessica drew brought the first body in. She was the first to find out. Unfortunately she brought the body to Tony Stark, Director of SHIELD. What she didn't know was that he was also a skrull.

It happened quickly after that. The Illuminati revealed themselves destroying everyone who could serve to over throw them while they were continuing their subterfuge.

Scott Summers. Emma Frost. Nathan Summers. Wong. Ms. Marvel. Luke Cage. Gorgon. Susan Storm.

It was intially thought that the Illuminati had protected us from the Skrull invasion by blaming the recently deceased . Little did we know, it was the Illuminati themselves that were the Skrulls. When the entire fleet arrived, we never knew it was coming.

We fought back as long as we could. The Incredible Hulk was deputized as Field commander, he was of course our most powerful hero left, but even his efforts were nearly in vain when up against the entire Skrull Empire. Eventually, Banner struck a truce with the Skrulls--safe haven in Africa. We had given up.

Certain Heroes had not. Fury was still out there trying to assemble a new team of Avengers using his full 33 op base knowledge as striking points. The X-Men were also around, now led by Mr. Sinister and Magneto. Other heroes are whispered as ghosts. Spider-Man. The New Daredevil. War Machine.

All of their efforts have been in vain thus far as the Skrull Empire continues its dominace over a conquered human race.

But I have a plan.

[Cyrusbales]

curios, sinister and mags, hmmmm, new avengers? I think I've found what I wanna do!

[Gallagher]

Alright so we have 5 players now? That is enough to start a Sign Up/OOC thread isn't it? Unless you want to get more people on board before starting one.

EDIT:Just read Kaboom's post. Ooooo Sinister and Magneto leading the remainders of the X-men? Genius!

[Cyrusbales]

wait for a while, and get some copncrete stuff down etc.

The Skrull Empire.

The Skrull empire has covered the entire globe.

Safe Haven for humans is in Africa.

Latveria has been reduced to a shell of its former grandeur. It was given its own tract of land in Africa over which the Hulk has no authority.

The Skrulls are lead by The Skrull Empress, however her location is unknown.

The Skrull cities are either new, or past human cities that have been taken over.

Otherwise, the world functions relatively normally, but remebers the Skrulls are a militaristic empire, and as such, the leaders live in riches, the people live in poverty.

Factions. That's all we are now; close groups of friends who know who to trust.

Then again, in this day and age, everyone knows exactly who they can rely on: Themselves.

Whether you're a Skrull or not, I guess that's the one constant, isn't it?

You can always trust yourself.

Lately, though, I'm not so sure. I feel pangs of regret. A shadowy desire to give up.

The Skrull empire has grown so powerful that they were able to drive off the Hulk. They made him submit.

It was then that I realized how the quickly the world is changing. The Hulk I knew, or at least thought I knew, is long dead. No longer does his rage fuel him. It is, instead, his fear. Spider-Man, too, has perished. Heroes, we were. We put our masks on, fighting valiantly for everything we believed in. Spider-Man even gave up that which he held so closely: his true name.

Captain America was lost because he too gave up that which he most valued: his freedom.

We only have one choice, now, though. We, the heroes of earth, living in Africa, must band together.

We're in hell right now. And, either we can stay here, and get the **** kicked out of us. Or, we can climb back to the light; the light of the once epic and true people we were. When you've got nothing left to lose, you find out that life is a game. A game that everyone loses at some point, but one that only ends once you stop playing... when you throw in the towel.

Me? I'll never throw in the towel.

I know there are more like me; watching, waiting. We wait for a sign. A sign that will let us know that it's time to put our masks back on, and fight for what we believe in.

A sign that signals the fall of the Skrull Empress and her empire.

After all, in this game of life, she still has a loss coming to her.

And I plan on ensuring that she gets it.

Well i thought of Kitty going round, trying to save as many people as possible from the Skrulls and taking them to Africa.
And Marko would just be acting as a terrorist, randomly attacking skrull bases and the like. Im not sure if that helps.

[Kaboom]

these are the affiliations:

Skrull Empire: those who are loyal to the Skrulls.
Vulcan Empire: those who are loyal to Emperor Vulcan. (Shall have a big part to play come season 2).
Vigilante: Those who operate on their own for their own means.
Rebel: Those who work actively to overthrow the Skrulls. If you are a rebel you must be part of an established team. the current rebel groups are:

X-Men S: The X-Men Lead by Mr. Sinister.
X-Men M: The X-Men lead by Magneto.
Avengers: Guerilla groups lead by Fury out of the 33 secret bases that SHIELD has established prior to the Skrull invasion.
Human: Those humans who live in Safe Haven (Africa) under the protection of the Hulk.

If you wish to create a new rebel group that must be specifically approved.

[Apprentice]

Is Captain America alive in this universe?

[Kaboom]

Is Captain America alive in this universe?

This universe is an extrapolation of 616 that works directly off the events of the illuminati, civil war, world war hulk, and the upcoming skrull war.

that being said Cap is dead.

Does not mean he can't be brought back.

[Apprentice]

In which case, I'll lay down a reservation on him please.

[Matt Murdock]

While the humans offer no resistance, other beings fight the Skrulls with all of their hearts, nerves, and sinews.

The symbiotes Carnage, Venom, Shriek, Toxin, and others have forced their "others" to the limit, as they constantly spawn new symbiotes, and use them as an army, fighting off the Skrulls that patrol the borders of our home.

At best, though, the symbiotes amount to little more than a thorn in the Empire's proverbial side.

Yet, tactically, they've been useful. Creating unwilling hosts from Skrull generals, revealing some of the empire's most important outposts.

The Silver Surfer, too, has proved to be invaluable. Being above regional, border disputes, he strikes right at the heart of the empire, often resulting in catastrophic destruction. Captured on numerous occasions, the Surfer has divulged little to the empire, and all that he has told them has been false.

They think he is a tool for their benefit, but we have a man on the inside.

One far more useful than a being with the Power Cosmic.

Matt Murdock has long been thought of as dead. His lover, in a fit of grief and sorrow, took up the Daredevil mantel in his absence. Few know the truth though.

Matt Murdock was captured by the Skrulls and, instead of being tortured, was put to work as an instrumental part of their government. He's the best attorney money can buy, and as such, he gives defenses to the human rebels captured by the Skrulls.

Given a lavish home in the Skrull capital, Murdock seemingly works for the Skrulls. But, with his enhanced hearing, Murdock can hear the inner workings of the Skrull government, reporting troop movements back to his superiors.

Murdock is, in every sense of the word, a spy.

Harlekin: Smasher, Vulcan Empire.

He survived Vulcan's take-over, and has now sworn allegiance to him.

I also think we should keep it to just one character for at least the first few weeks. As already mentioned by Red X, other RPG's are taking away from the "main" RPG's. Two characters take up too much time.

For the record, I can't promise all too regular posting with Smasher, which fits him perfectly. He has been sent to Earth by Vulcan as a sort of suicide commando, a herald. His mission? To assassinate the Skrull elite. The first season consists of him preparing and trying to accomplish that mission.

[Gallagher]

The Future of Marvels: Season 1 Character Application

Screen Name: NowufaceDoom
Character you would like to play: Dr. Victor Von Doom

Is this a 616 character, or someone who has taken up the mantle of a 616 character: Regular ol' 616 Doom

Powers: Genius-level intellect,
Command of magic

Powered armor grants:
Superhuman strength
Physical Resistance
Energy Projection
Flight

Alliance (Rebel, Skrull Empire, Vulcan Empire): Rebel Scum :woot:

Who is your character and what has your character been doing since the events of the purge: Victor Von Doom is the Ruler of Latveria and the hated enemy of the Fantastic Four, he is also a very gifted scientist on par with or perhaps even the better of Reed Richards.

After the Skrull attempted to take control of Latveria (Doom foolishly hoped that his diplomatic immunity would still have some sway. The first and last time he will ever be foolish) he rallied every doombot in his possesion to meet them on the front lines, he fought valiantly but was nonetheless pushed back to Castle Doom, where he has remained. A mystic power created by Doom himself surrounds his fortress. All of the remaining citizens of Latveria have took shelter with their Dictator. Food and supplies have been sneaked into the province by spies and stealth agents of the Super Hero rebels for some time. But security around Latveria ever increasing the supply of food and fresh water are no longer very frequent and Doom's enchantment of the castle will not hold out for much longer. Soon Victor Von Doom must make a decision, stay and hope help comes... or fight.
Three reasons why you have chosen that character:

1) Doom has never really been seen as the fearless leader type, now I get a chance to show it.

2) I've always loved his character

3) We both have god-complexes :oldrazz:

Write two complete sentences using proper English grammar explaining what you plan to do with the character you've chosen (i.e. What are your goals? Will you be doing anything different with the character than is usually seen?): I'm going to focus less on maniacal plotting/scheming Doom and more on the fearless warrior/leader Doom, which I don't think has ever been done before to be honest. Doom will be forced to work with people he once fought with, which would be a great thing to try and write for me.

How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: As much as I can.

Color and font you plan on using for your characters speech:
Green Book Antiqua Bold

Please provide a small sample post with original content in the style that you plan to write your character in (must be at least 3 paragraphs long and contain at least one line of dialogue):

"MY PEOPLE" I roared.

How could the world let this happen... How could I let this happen... I could hear the distant sounds of battle echoing around the castle.

At first it looked like but a dark storm cloud, the Skrull ships had descended upon us like a swarm.

I could still hear the screams of the first casualties... A group of gypsies, my own kin, possibly even relatives. Wiped out in a flash. People panicked. Ran for their homesteads. I knew at once any attempt to hold up in those pitiful structures was futile. I led my troops, my most loyal of servants and machines, into the heart of the swarm. Our last desperate attempt at freeing my country... my people. It was in vain. Their numbers too great even I-- ... even I fled.

Now here I stand... the lord of a broken kingdom. Castle Doom... the last bastion of hope for the people of Latveria.

"My people..."

my reservation is that the vulcan storyline hasnt been developed much yet and we have to decide if vulcan knows about the skrull takeover or discovers it upon his arrival. If you want to help flesh that out, it be great.

Elektra/Daredevil is a rebel and Human.

By the way, it took me so long to write up my application (had to go and have something to eat) i missed a lot of the previous posts. You say Latveria is now apart of Africa? Hmmm, is there anyway to change that, Latveria being where it is was integral to my story arc with Doom.

One thing I'd like to add is to prefer a name change. Calling this Marvel RPG "Marvel: New Age RPG" just seems odd because the DC Future RPG has the same name; but it came first.

I propose changing the name to something more interesting (For example I liked the name of MB's Marvel RPG whole lot for a YO RPG, very interesting and more original) just for the sake of it; regardless of being a member or about to be or not.

Also, on another note, I overread something about making Elektra DD? Not just being a big DD fan...that doesn't make sense. Course, you could argue with the "how" and "why" she would take up the persona.

Kaboom has already changed the name to "Future of Marvels" RPG, and basically, all the superheroes are under the impression that Matt Murdock is dead (although he's really been captured by Skrulls) and Elektra is honoring him and becoming the new Daredevil and working with the rebels in his memory.

[trustyside-kick]

That's a shame, because really the only Marvel character I'd care about taking up is DD or at least Matt. I like Marvel characters, sure...but as far as RPing would go really only Matt. Well, have fun with it all guys.

im actually think of changing the name again from "Future of Marvels" to "Marvels: Days of Future's Present, Season 1"

[Gallagher]

Where's the real Illumnati?

Thats what I was thinking, they couldn't have been Skrulls all along surely?

[Cyrusbales]

Where's the real Illumnati?

Chillin' with LT

[Eddie Brock]

I would assume that the Skrulls disposed of them so as to avoid any complications in their plans.

[Gallagher]

I would assume that the Skrulls disposed of them so as to avoid any complications in their plans.

But thats not 100% Concrete though right? That's what the world will assume, that Reed, Xavier, Strange etc are dead.

[Eddie Brock]

Nothing in comics/RPGs is 100% concrete. :o:oldrazz:

[Kaboom]

I would assume that the Skrulls disposed of them so as to avoid any complications in their plans.

the world should assume the real iluminati are dead.

the fake illuminati however did not dispose of them. remember the reason they replaced the illuminati was because they know where the infinity gems are. being as the skrulls do not posses the infinity gems, they can not just get rid of them as they are they only ones who know where they are.

Excelsior!

[trustyside-kick]

So, the story behind this RPG is that the Skrulls took over the Earth? So every hero that is still standing is either spy or rebel?

[Kaboom]

or living in safe haven under a negotiated truce protected by the hulk

[Eddie Brock]

Ain't life a kick in the head? :oldrazz:

[Gallagher]

Ain't life a kick in the head? :oldrazz:

It is when your Matt Murdock and Elektra's done stole your mantle :ninja:

[Matt Murdock]

Do NOT speak of such things.

[Eddie Brock]

Alright...where are our esteemed semi-mod's - Twy and MB?

[Kaboom]

i wish i knew? should i pm mb or is that considered rude?

[Matt Murdock]

I'm sure they'll get around to us.

[Eddie Brock]

i wish i knew? should i pm mb or is that considered rude?
He won't get it anyway. :o:oldrazz:

As for Twy, isn't she sick? Or having computer troubles?

[Kaboom]

beats me. i wish mb twy or jb would join this though.

[Eddie Brock]

beats me. i wish mb twy or jb would join this though.
Knowing MB, there's a good chance he will.

Don't know about Twy or JB though.

[Johnny Blaze]

I'm in too many RPGs as is, so I don't see myself joining another one. Plus the Skrull thing is really my cup of tea. Sorry guys. :csad:

[Batman]

Yeah, I really don't think I could fit another one in, myself.

On a lighter note, if twy thinks everything's good as is, I'll put in my vote for approval aswell.

[Matt Murdock]

Hooray master bruce!

[Byrd Man]

I'd be intrested...as long as it had a decent backstory, but I don't really like the whole Skrull thing.

[Matt Murdock]

Thanks, Joe Quesada!

[Byrd Man]

It's not his fault. It's ya'lls fault. You can pick the continuity jump off point.

[Kaboom]

i guess since i picked the jump off point its my fault. anway i think its a good place to start, im sorry you disagree byrd. if you have a change of heart, hopefully well be around.

[Eddie Brock]

Well, the thing you have to ask is: if not the Skrulls, then what?

What possible event could give us the dark, gloomy future setting that we want?

I'm open to suggestion...but I can't think of anything. Plus, it's Kaboom's game, so it's his decision.

[trustyside-kick]

Edit.

[Byrd Man]

Why does it have to be gloomy? You know, all comics futures don't have to be like Kingdom Come.....:o

[Eddie Brock]

Edit.
It was XBL's game idea...but Kaboom took over as GM, and he came up with the backstory by himself. So essentially, it's become his game.

I guess it doesn't HAVE to be gloomy. But where's the fun in that? :huh:

[Eddie Brock]

No matter the backstory - whether gloomy or not - I'm playing Spidey the same way.

So it really doesn't affect me. My plans aren't exactly specific to the Skrull invasion.

[Blacklight]

It could be the Skrulls and the Kree.

[Johnny Blaze]

You'd have a better chance of cats and dogs inter-breeding than getting the Skrulls and Kree to team up.

[Harlekin]

Exactly. It's either Skrulls, Kree or Shi'ar, but none of those three together.

[Catman_prb]

Do you think i could drop Sandman as a reserved character?

[Harlekin]

No.

Yes.

No.

Well, okay.

[Catman_prb]

So kind.

[Eddie Brock]

Well, he doesn't have the power to do that. :o

...

But he's correct. I have the power, and I say you can. :o:up:

[Catman_prb]

Oooh acceptance twice

[Kaboom]

lol

[Kaboom]

ebj flauntin the power!

[Blacklight]

What other guy do you want Catman prb?

[Eddie Brock]

ebj flauntin the power!
Damn right. :o

[Harlekin]

What other guy do you want Catman prb?
No discussing on whether giving people two characters is a good idea or not?

[Blacklight]

Elektra/Daredevil is a rebel and Human.

And SSF, All the heroes are under the impression that Matt is dead, unless you want him to be under a new persona?

Could I reserve Moon Knight as well Kaboom?

maybe an updated reserve list?

[Eddie Brock]

I think perhaps we should hold off on 2nd characters. At least until the setting is fully established...that way more can add their own unique touch to this future.

[Blacklight]

What do you think Kaboom? Maybe EBJ is onto something.

[Eddie Brock]

It doesn't affect me one way or another.

I don't plan on a second character. Spider-Man is more than enough for me, and plus I don't want to overload.

[Matt Murdock]

What do you think Kaboom? Maybe EBJ is onto something.

I see my opinion counts for jack.:o

[Catman_prb]

Thats what i was thinking. Better if i establish Kitty first nd all that jazz.
Whats your opinion spideysuperfan?

[Blacklight]

I see my opinion counts for jack.:o
Your opinion counts too SSF. What do u think?

[Eddie Brock]

I see my opinion counts for jack.:o
Well, Kaboom is like the executive branch. He can veto anything we decide, so it's really HIS decision more than anything else. :o

[Kaboom]

i think we should stck to one character. The only exceotion will be that you are permitted a second character as long as it comes from the other side of the story. So like if im Nate Grey on Sinister's X-Men, if I want a second character, it MUST be from the Vulcan story.

or the Skrulls, or Avengers etc. I presume.

Do spies count?:ninja:

[Catman_prb]

I dunno, wouldnt the avengers nd xmen count as the same side?

[Kaboom]

no no. there are two stories. One on Earth. The other in Space.

If you want two characters they should be kept apart. That way when vulcan arrives in season 2, we already have it pretty set up.

[Catman_prb]

Ah right. Which space characters can we choose from. ( i dont know the vulcan story)

[Cyrusbales]

Well you could mix it up and have one of many space fairing characters in the vulcan story, Nova perhaps :)

What's the status on this bad boy at the mo?

[Kaboom]

Ah right. Which space characters can we choose from. ( i dont know the vulcan story)
It takes off right from the supernova story.

Vulcan crowns himself emperor of the shiar and takes deathbird as his wife. I forgot the xmen that were in space opposing it, but i know Havok was one of them.

if nobody wants to be Vulcan, ill play as him, although i would prefer not too.

[Catman_prb]

Ill play Vulcan, if you give me an hour or so to read up on him

[Cyrusbales]

You could have Vulcan NPC'd heavily, have him sem as a highly powerful character above all, like a king, almost mythological in stature....

[Kaboom]

how about this as a compromise. you are allowed 2 characters, 1 from each side of the story. However, you are also free to have one attached npc that once selected cannot be later applied for by someone else.

[Catman_prb]

Sounds good...are we still allowed to kill off characters in our openings?

[Cyrusbales]

how about this as a compromise. you are allowed 2 characters, 1 from each side of the story. However, you are also free to have one attached npc that once selected cannot be later applied for by someone else.

Is that really necessary? Surely just general RPG etitqute would sort the NPC thing out.

[Blacklight]

What's the status on Cap Marvel?

[Gallagher]

Damn that Doom, not having an friends for me to claim as NPC's :cmad:

Unless...

I reserve the right to use Reed Richards as an NPC

*Gasps from audience*

[Kaboom]

Is that really necessary? Surely just general RPG etitqute would sort the NPC thing out.
say im nate grey and im using sinister. if someone wants sinister i would have to give him up under regular etiquette. this lets me finish my sinsister arc in keeping with the 2 character rule, and yet we still get to flesh out the other half of th rpg

[Blacklight]

Reed is missing and or dead.

[Cyrusbales]

Just a thougth though, that would put people off, if each person takes 3 of the characters out, then people will be scared to join or not want to due to amount of characters they want, already being taken.

[Gallagher]

Reed is missing and or dead.

I am aware of Richards current status. I don't plan on using him lightly, and certainly not any time soon, but he will crop up in the story, alive or dead.

[Cyrusbales]

The illuminati are strictly off limits I'm sure, you can only have the skrull replacements I believe, correct me if I'm wrong kaboom :cwink:

[Blacklight]

I actually like Kabooms idea, especially if you attach an NPC to your Earth character. It'll be like the rebels are always teamed in pairs for missions, and also gives me a chance to explore a Elektra/Marc relationship.

[Gallagher]

The illuminati are strictly off limits I'm sure, you can only have the skrull replacements I believe, correct me if I'm wrong kaboom :cwink:

I'm not going to bring the Illuminati, presumed dead, back to life carelessly. I just had an interesting idea on how to use Richards through the course of the story

[Catman_prb]

Sorry may i raise the question: Are we allowed to kill characters off as the result of the skrull invasion, or are the ones listed the only casualties?

[Matt Murdock]

Nobody ever dies in comics.

Like, ever.

[Catman_prb]

...But we've already killed off a couple of people for this rpg...

[Matt Murdock]

They'll be back

http://www.noooz.com/archives/gfxbin/2006/06/arnie.jpg

[Gallagher]

Comic book characters are like needy ex-girlfriends, they just keep coming back.

[Catman_prb]

...sure...
Ok then lets re-phrase. Can we do heroic last stands during the invasion, when im "sure" theyl come back?

[Eddie Brock]

MJ's staying dead, or so help me God, I'll have her killed again! :cmad:

[Kaboom]

Sorry may i raise the question: Are we allowed to kill characters off as the result of the skrull invasion, or are the ones listed the only casualties?
i dont want too many characters killed off but if you want to, make sure theyre part of your character's universe (like mj to spidey, or pepper to tony, but not giant man just because you dont like woman beating b^%$&(d (b@%$&(d) )give me a heads up about it and i can add to the dead list.

I am aware of Richards current status. I don't plan on using him lightly, and certainly not any time soon, but he will crop up in the story, alive or dead.

illuminati imposters may be played as.

the real illuminati are strictly off limits for this season for everyone including myself.

[Harlekin]

- I don't think Vulcan needs to be played yet. He doesn't actually show up till season 2 anyway.
- Let's keep it to one character. None of this attached NPC stuff. Proper etiquette says you can't use an NPC anyway till someone else is done with them.

[Gallagher]

the real illuminati are strictly off limits for this season for everyone including myself.

Hmmm, Ok, I can work around it.

[Eddie Brock]

Sooooooo...

How about that twylight? :O

[Eddie Brock]

The Amazing Spider-Man. That's why they used to call me.

But Spider-Man died several years ago. Now, there is only Peter Benjamin Parker.

I chose to stay in New York City - despite the deteriorating conditions. With the help of Doctor Steven Strange, I was able to restore my secret identity.

All-in-all, life hasn't changed as drastically as one would expect. Other than the overwhelming poverty and the Skrull militia in the streets, life goes on as usual in the city. But it is a city that once was vibrant and colorful, and now is merely shades of gray.

People are executed daily, as an example of what happens to those who speak or act out against the Skrull. Our so-called "inalienable rights" have been stripped of us.

No free speech.

No freedom of religion.

No right to assembly.

The Skrulls have made the Patriot Act seem like child's play. No more than three humans are allowed to gather in private, and public places are swarmed with Skrull eyes and ears. Telephones and computers have been taken away. The only way to communicate is with letters - all of which are opened and read by the Skrulls before they can be sent. If the Skrull suspect you of conspiring to overthrow, you are sentenced to death.

To me, the "good fight" no longer exists. Every day I hear rumors of a human rebellion forming in Africa. When I do, I consider them foolish.

The Skrull have won, and I am Spider-Man...no more.

:up:

Nice take on Peter.

[Eddie Brock]

:up:

Nice take on Peter.
That's just a general teaser. I want to flesh out my first Spider-Man post a lot more, but you don't show your whole hand. :cwink:

[Cyrusbales]

Still undecided on character so far, we need a villainouse presence though:(

[Eddie Brock]

Still undecided on character so far, we need a villainouse presence though:(
Well, the only problem with this backstory is that the only villain is really the Skrull.

[Cyrusbales]

Exactly :( Unless, someone was IMPERSONATING a Skrull! Oh, the irony :)

[Eddie Brock]

I mean, at least with DC:NA - yeah, there was a devasting event to create a darker future, but heroes still could fight villains.

The more we talk about it, the shakier my faith in this backstory gets. :csad:

[Blacklight]

Would Titannus be a good or bad guy? He maybe a skrull, but he hates skrulls for making him their guinea pig. Maybe he could help the resistance.

[Cyrusbales]

The Skrulls could always utilize certain villains as their police type thing.

[Gallagher]

Well, if it helps I can have Doom more villainous?

[Eddie Brock]

Well, if it helps I can have Doom more villainous?
I think Doom (and all the other villains for that matter) would be more concerned about overthrowing the Skrull first - rather than fighting heroes.

[Gallagher]

I think Doom (and all the other villains for that matter) would be more concerned about overthrowing the Skrull first - rather than fighting heroes.

Yeah, thats how I see it. I cant really see Doom sitting around in his castle thinking 'Hmmm, the skrull are destroying humanity and the holding the world prisoner... but what do I do about that BLASTED FANTASTIC FOU-- I mean FANTASTIC TWO!'

Some how don't see it happening, I think Doom (of all people) would have his priorities right. But im just trying to help out with the Villain situation.

[Eddie Brock]

Not much can be done for the Villain situation...at least not until (if at all) the Skrull are overthrown - which wouldn't be any time soon. :csad:

[Cyrusbales]

I really wana work on the new avengers or as I'd like to call them the Revengers, see what I did there?

I figure it would be like a group of guirella fighters, struggling to take small victories, but I don't wanna play fury, so I'm considering the roster for it.

BTW, what's happened with atlantis?

[Gallagher]

BTW, what's happened with atlantis?

Didnt you hear? its sank to the bottom of the ocean.... :dry:

OH you mean in the RP? good question

[Matt Murdock]

You know, good readers, I'd love to tell you that the most beloved characters are always the good guys.

They're not.

Some of them are evil, cruel, and cheaters. Like Darth Vader.

Some of them are idiots, retards, and freaks. Like Voldemort or the kid from "Mask."

And some of them, the best of the best, are "cover-your-ass" types. They only look out for themselves and do whatever anyone asks them to for the right price. They're mercenaries, folks. And that's what I am.

I'm a merc. And I'm a merc with a mouth.

Unfortunately for the rest of the heroes on... well... planet Earth, the Skrull Empire had slightly more to offer than Africa. So, with the dream of action in my heart, and dollar signs looming on the horizon, I took up employment with them.

So, first Earth; tomorrow the galaxy.

unless the villains swear allegiance to the skrull empire. there always cabals.
