[twylight]

Ok twy, that pic you posted just made me choke on my food, lol. There should be some kinda warning above the picture such as: Please finish chewing before scrolling down.

Like I said....accident.

 

[MaskedManJRK]

I'm lobbying for big bad guys. We have like, Darkseid, Luthor, and Mordru. Those are all DC. We need some Marvel big bads besides Dr. Doom. How's about some MODOK? Red Skull? Dormammu?

Daredevil's fine, but there isn't enough villainry in this here RPG, in my opion...

"Have you forgotten about the great Doctor Octavious, you pitiful imbacile?!"

...You might want to run now.

Besides, who would want to play a wussy little goody-goody anyway?

"Who are you calling wussy, Michael Blane-wannabe?"

"One Universe" RPG SIGN-UP FORM

Screen Name: Electro UK

Character you would like to play and a brief description of his/her powers and Bio: Daredevil... do I have to go through the whole powers thing? It takes so much writing and we all know him...

Three reasons why you have chosen that character:

1. Brubaker's Daredevil inspired me to do so... and that's only after 1 issue, buy this book people!

2. Daredevil's such a dark character, a place I haven't really explored yet

3. I've always loved DD's character, I'm eager to give him a go

What can you bring to this game?
A dark, serious Daredevil that portrays the character perfectly.


How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: However many needed

Do you know how to post pictures on the hype boards: Yep

Just so you know, me and Sentry established how we know each other. FYI:

Both Matt, Bruce, and Elektra trained with Stick at one point. Both Matt and Bruce were chasing for Elektra, who eventually chose Bruce. The three fell apart, Elektra left soon afterward.

The two met again while at Ollie's Star City party. Matt and Bruce decided to let differences slide, and Bruce decided to help Matt with getting him better equipment.

So Bats and DD have a history? Cool

"Darkseid runs from no man or god!"

But in all seriousness, yeah the Spidey villains are popular, but they don't exactly strike fear in the hearts of a planet, do they? You won't see Doc Ock holding a miniature universe hostage unless Captain America gives him what he wants. You won't see Venom slyly building up a massive force to overwhelm the defenders of Earth all while solwoly dividing them, so that noe can present a united front against the massive forces he will use against them. You don't see Green Goblin mucking with the stuff of creation itself in some primordial pool of power just to get back at Dr. Strange for helping Spider-Man.

Like I sad, we need big villains. We've got the big heroes, but we don't have their foils for them to play off of.

Yeah I see what you're saying, but the problem I think with bad guys is they're kinda limiting (just speaking personally here) I find it much harder to post as a bad guy than I do as a good guy. The only reason is bad guys slip in and out of the comics, the good guys are always there. It would be pretty boring for someone to pick up - Galactus say - because it would be "Planet - dead, planet - dead, planet - Dead"

And would only get to to anything when they came to Earth, had to get beaten and that's that...

They then do it again, until the next time they invade earth, which they cant do that often because it would make it boring.

What I think would be best is people who are willing to pick up big villians for a crucial story, the lead up to it, the execution and a little follow on, and then not have to worry about posting until the next time that particular bad guy is needed. Elected threats as it were. Because really, what else is there for the Red Skull to do when he's not fighting Captain America in some way. Detailing six months of him being unable to do anything has only a certain amount of appeal.

I don't see why we need big comsic heroes/villians for this, though. I'd rather have more smaller stories (like what me and Punisher are doing, for example) then always have big cosmic storylines. They're good to have, but not all the f**king time!

I agree, a cosmic story should be massive. If they happen relatively often there's nothing special about it.

What's most fun about this RPG is just the fact that you get to have interactions like Punisher and Batman.

I haven't made my first Rouge post yet; I'm kinda stuck as where I should start off. Just would like to know state of mansion, professor’s condt. and where the x-men are etc.

I would read through the entire RPG, but it really would be faster if someone would just tell me *whine whine whine*

 

[Red]

Sorry LibrarianThorne, Darkseid's been and gone.

Its the real villains turn.

I'm no expert on the matter, but I don't think there's too much gone into that... hmmm... don't quote me though. You might want to go solo for a little bit, then come across the X-Men...

just a thought.

It's like Turtle said, not much gone on there. Your best bet would be to message OC and see if he had anything planned for it. He and DarthWolverine are the only other X-Men and last time I spoke with OC on the phone I think he may have mentioned something, probably just do a solo thing for a while to get yer character's past and stuff ironed out.

You can pretty much make the past whatever within reason. OC and I kept the background that Logan and Creed had, but only cuz it wouldnt be the same without that past.

 

[Sparta*]

Yeah, this RPG has been relatively X-men free Noon...If I were you, i'd start with Rogue before she was an X-man. Most of the people in the RPG took their characters from step 1, and kind of melded them into what they wanted...so you could have Rogue just finding out about her powers or whatever, and then maybe have her come across Mystique who is willing to help her or something.

Ok, thanks! I'll get right on that first post

I know what you're sayin, but I think that really just pertains to most of the bigger villains. Although I think Magneto might be an exception as well as a few others. Ill have no problem with Sabretooth, just because he just ****s with whoever's around whenever he is bored. He isnt really a "huge" bad guy, but he's an easy character that I can do a lot with considering the fact that he also does merc work.

I think the limitation of a villain lies within what kind of character has been established in comics and such because that tends to influence us even though we start from scratch.

 

[Red]

By the way to let you guys know, i will put an Deadpool post once i hear back from Soze

Yeah I see what you're saying. Same with Venom - he's a strange one in that he kinda fights crime too, so I can do that, but for the huge villians it will be a problem.

How so? With Darkseid, there's a ton of stuff I can do. I haven't even touched on New Genesis, yet, and there's a ton of stuff I can do there.

Same withg most other cosmic baddies. You think Galactus is just like "Oh wait, it's Tuesday, maybe I should check out what's going on at Earth today!" There's other plots and storylines they can concoct and interactions. Personally, I really want someone to pick up, say, Thanos because that would give me a PC to interact with who isn't based on Earth. The big cosmic villains allow for lots of development and plots based on them, whereas I really get tired of the "street level" villains. Partly because they get much more play than the big bads, and because they get beaten so much more often. It's like, Doc Ock shows up with some new toys, gets the crap beaten out of him by Spidey, and goes away until he can back with yet another new toy and get the crap beaten out of him by Spider-Man. Yawn. At least with guys like Galactus and Darkseid, it forces the heroes to deal with the fact that they will in all likelihood lose against these guys in a physical confrontation, so it forces lateral thinking on the part of the good guys.

Okay point taken. Sorry If I annoyed you in any way. What I was actually saying (although I think I only mentioned it a few posts back) is that this was a perceived problem, that might put a lot of people off of big bads. Everything I posted after was just an extension of that. When I say "a problem" I simply mean in terms of how easy it would be to get into another thing. As Venom all I have to do is say "I wanna beat the crap outta some people" and I go do it, with Venom I can get away with that. I think maybe a lot of people are possibly turned off because they don't know what to do with the Big Bads when they're not invading - like VC stated earlier, despite the fact that this is new, a lot of people are still kinda follow what's happened in the comics, and in the comics they just... invade... theres not a lot of their day to day lives. I didn't mean to cause any offence dude.

No offense was taken, nor was my last post meant to be read in anger.

I guess I just get tired of the lower level villains because we see them so much, and we never see them win. Ever. When was the last time one of Luthor's plans to kill Superman in the comics actually succeeded? 1954 or so?

From an RP standpoint, I guess I just think it's much easier to RP someone like Goblin or Joker than someone like Darkseid. Goblin and Joker, for all their insanities, are still human, and there's that basic block to build off of. With someone like Darkseid, he's completely alien, and as a player, I have to get inside his head and really figure out how he views his world. I look at Earth and I see a pretty neat looking planet. He looks at Earth and sees a cesspool of chaos, a world clamoring out for his aid, a world in desperate need of guidance by his hand. I look at Apokolips and see hell. He looks at Apokolips and sees a paradise unmatched by anything in the galaxy. Stuff like that makes Darkseid much more difficuly to RP, but really gives me some oppurtunities to work around. Not to mention really cool stuff to do. And I suppose I just wish that there were more PCs to interact with, besides the heroes of Earth (who he will be done interacting with very shortly).

Actually for anyone to portray a character in a good manner they have to get inside his psyche too. Besides, just because a lot of the lower level villains are human doesnt mean anything for a basic block. Hell, I could go to well, all of them that are humanoid have the same building block.

I don't think it is necessarily harder one way or the other. Darkseid has his minions and is so powerful it isnt really a challenge for him with anyone one on one. The lower level villains are better in my mind because they may not always succeed in plans, but the fact remains that they are left to concoct and execute these plans that makes them interesting characters.

That's just my two cents.

 

[Watchman]

Since we have Daredevil now I was wondering if I could revive my Bullseye. Me and Sentry had this whole rivalry plan but we never got to do it.

So just wondering if I can pick Bullseye back up again

 

[Batman]

Personally, I have no problem with it. But I'll wait to see what the other mods say.
