This'll be my last pitch for awhile. Anymore, and I'll be the SuperFerret of RPG Applications. :o

RPG Application

Screenname of the Proposed RPG’s Game Master: Master Bruce

Do You Have An Instant Messenger that we can reach you on for better conversation? (i.e MSN, Yahoo, AIM, ect.) And if so, what is your screenname?: allstarbatman - Yahoo; [email protected] - MSN

Gamemasters/Assistant Gamemasters already chosen: byrd_man, as he's the only one I've really discussed the big details of the concept with.

How will the overall layout of the RPG be?: 2 GM's, with possible additions in the future, should the RPG become successful. It'll be mostly player controlled, with the GM's only coming in to enforce the rules and accept applications... however, the GM's will also offer advice on character backstories/changes, should anyone seek it. It'll be an ongoing, season-by-season RPG, similar in vein to the Ultimate DC RPG.

Premise of RPG, if it is a user created RPG see below for applicable additions to this Applicaton, (Must be a paragraph or longer):

PLEASE NOTE: This is a bit long, so try to be patient in reading it over. It's the general sypnosis of the history before the game's actual starting point, as I see it...

Master Bruce said:
1961 sees America in heated combat aiding in the Vietnam war, sparking a worldwide depression and an overpopulation in poverty. However, hope is found when Colonel Nicolas Fury Sr. drafts in the young and brave cadet Steven Rogers to lead the American army with a fullproof plan to end the war in favor of America and it's allies. But when the Soviet leader, a war tactician by the name of Johaan Schmidt, enters the fray with an army of his own, and a supply of unpredicted nuclear weapons, Rogers makes the ultimate sacrifice in protecting his troop as he launches himself onto the missile Schmidt attempts to detonate and use to destroy the American allies. The missile explodes, sending Rogers into the Artic sea and freezing him there for a period of more than 40 years.

With Private Rogers presumed dead, but his sacrifice marked as the testament of true heroism, his example brings forth inspiration in the most bizzarre forms. Young Peter Parker, a college student of Queens, New York, is subjected to a set of amazing spider-like powers, embarking him on a quest for personal fame and, ultimately, a true lesson in responsibility. The billionaire electronics mogul Anthony Stark, owner and CEO of Stark Technologies, is caught in crossfire with Al-Quedian troops that attempt to seize his weapons' empire in a branch located in Iraq, which sets Stark on the path to, ironically, becoming Invincible. Young Matt Murdock, the son of a priestess catholic and championship prize fighter, graduates law school and makes history as the first blind graduate to excell in as many fields as he does, but takes a new path once true justice cannot be found for himself in the courts he once believed in.

As these events take place, other, less inspiring and perhaps even horrifying transformations occur. Victor Von Damme, inhertier to the embassy of Latveria, a third world nation, is horrifically scarred when conjuring up unknown forces in attempt to save his mother from death, leaving the young man looking for revenge against the world as a whole. Psychiatrist and world renowned speaker Doctor Otto "Octopus" Octavious is kidnapped and put through a bizarre string of tortures that involve grafting monstrous limbs to his body, in attempt to drive the good doctor mad... This fails, however, when Octavious becomes obsessed with improving upon the arms, eventually conquesting for ultimate power. And perhaps the most threatening to the world lies within the mutanary figurehead Erik Magnus Lehnsherr, who has decided to declare war on humankind for their years of mistreatment to the mutant race.

All the while, Commander Nick Fury Jr. seeks to continue his father's legacy by starting a global espionage and intellegence agency known as S.H.I.E.L.D., where their newest recruit and mascot comes from the most unlikeliest of places... the frozen tomb of Private Steven Rogers.

Heroes. Villains. Allies and enemies. Superpowered and monstrously transformed. 2007 sees the dawning of a new age. The dawn of Marvels.

Essentially, going off of a mindset used when I intially started the Ultimate DC Universe RPG, this is my answer to the Marvel Universe with that same concept: Creating, and playing your own twists and versions of Marvel Characters in a freshly started enviroment, building character reputations as you see fit, without the need for following past continuity that isn't user created.

Players would be free to introduce their own concepts and ideas to each character, though they'd have to remain at least somewhat faithful to their core. (IE: No giving Spider-Man a new secret identity alias, such as "Alex Ketch", or something. He'd have to be Peter Parker, and have an Aunt May, ect. But beyond that, you could do anything you wanted.)

And, also to note, the ideas I presented above are not nessacarily required to be followed. They're just ideas, pretty much setting examples of the kind of liberties one can take with a character.

What will this RPG bring to the RPG forums? (please write two complete sentences): I think, overall, the RPG would give players a chance to be really innovative and unique with characters in the Marvel Universe, as opposed to having to follow the continuities set in motion by Marvel themselves, with 616 and Ultimate. These are characters that are obviously beloved by alot of us here... so, I think with this RPG, it'd give us a chance to admire them on a more personal level, as they'd have our own spins and twists on them.

Do You Know How To Post Pictures On The Hype?:
 
By the way, before anyone's wondering (if anyone :o)... Iron Man/Tony Stark is reserved for byrd man, while I'll be taking on the role of either Spider-Man or Daredevil. I'll try to decide soon... I know alot of people would be looking to play either one.
 
I don't understand is this like a prequal?
 
Oh, no. Not at all. No connection to 616 or Ultimate. It's to establish a completely new, player created continuity.
 
I'm taking on way too many RPG's. This sounds like a great idea. I think this is my last slot.

Can I reserve Jean Grey?
 
Consider her reserved.

Reserved List

The Invincible Iron Man
byrd_man

The Spectacular Spider-Man
Master Bruce

Jean Grey
Charlie No-One

Captain America
Kaboom
 
Damn. You crazy son of a *****. I can't believe you went through with it. Either way, I'm glad I can play a lush who walks around in a billion dollar suit of armor. I'll know how Red X feels.
 
I'll read through this later, when it's not half 2 in the morning....

I hope having too many RPG's on the hype doesn't cause the overall interest in each one to dwindle...
 
I can see that. The X-Men are more than two people. Also, I imagine Jean and Wolverine won't meet for a while. I am going to start her off without the X-Men.

I want Wolverine to be Xavier's first X-man, and then Cyclops comes in and steals Logan's thunder.
 
That might not work. Jean was going to be the Prof's first student. I need to do some set up though. My first few posts would be a mix of flashback and current.
 
Yeah, Jean would be needed, but I think you could be the second student, but it would appear that you were the first. If this gets accepted, I will go into more detail.

By the way, since Master Bruce is a headmaster of the approval thing, who will give the second seal of approval after Twy?

I think JB maybe.
 
Well if we can change the characters than I reserve Scarlet-Spider. On the grounds that I can bring him in early. Clone or not.
 
Nah, by him posting it he's already given his approval ;) So it's just *me* ^_^

MB, I think you crossed the SF line, LONG ago. :p


MB, if you can put a final count up tomorrow. ^_^ It would be great. I'll IM you.
 
So how much here is changed, so what is the current socio-political status etc?

I'm thinking cpt. Brittain could be fun for me with a few tweaks....

Think of it as the political and socio world of today. Post 9/11, Bush is prez of US. Whoever that guy is that took over for Tony Blair in England is PM.
 
Hmmm, my only problem with taking up a british character, is that everyone here is american pretty much, so everything happens over there....


Whats the deal with Bruce Banner here?
 
Whats the deal with Bruce Banner here?

I think you're missing the point. YOU CREATE HIM! As long as he's named Bruce Banner and has a connection to the Hulk, you can fill in the other gaps.
 
It's just because of the pre-established elements of peter parker, doc ock etc, I was making sure there wasn't existing plans!

So other than Cap America, there's no pre-existing heroes since roughly present time in this RPG?
