The "What If? Marvel" RPG

GameMaster: CyrusBales
Assistant mod: Braniac 8

This game is similar to the Marvel RPG, However it is based off of What if's, so the players can shape a new world of marvel.

RULES:

-Players can choose any hero/villain in the Marvel universe, No God-Like characters(galactus etc). Only two hero's/villains may be taken up as a maximum by any one player, all must be approved by game-master.

-The what if's stem from the 616 universe, not ultimate.

-WHAT IF= When you submit a character from, you can submit a 'what if' that will shape the marvel universe, obviously they all must be approved before accepted, and with the character roster will be a 'what if' roster.

-No Killing. Unnamed faceless NPC's may be killed, but not comic characters. Someone else may want to take up the character, or they may be important to another story.

-You can go anywhere on Earth, or travel off planet, but do so within your characters means.

-You are your character, so act like it. Talk like them, use there dialouge. Do not exaggerate your powers, or pop-up here and there without explination.

-Several stories can be going at once, and you have the freedom to interact with other characters.

-No Time Travel.

-You must post at least once every two weeks, though it is preferred that you post more. If you go two weeks without a post without prior notice, your character is up for grabs.

-You must have at least 50 posts on the Hype boards to be eligible to play

-And of course, all regular rules of the Hype apply.

-Have fun.

[Cyrusbales]

(EDIT ON THE FIRST POST, put up a couple of what if's to get the bal rolling)

and Corporal, not got any what if plans? At the moment I'm waiting for enough people to show interest, then I'm gonna open the season thread, so, if you post a what if, then I can approve you(if i like it)

 

[Cyrusbales]

OK, I'm gonna take up Professor Xavier, and he's 'evil' in this universe. His and Magneto's positions are pretty much switched.

 

[CorporalHicks]

what if matt murdock was called a different name when he was a kid

 

[Cyrusbales]

what if matt murdock was called a different name when he was a kid

How would that effect him as a hero? Wanna make any changes to the fantastic four perhaps?

 

[CorporalHicks]

he wouldn't be called daredevil.

what if dr. doom turned good?

 

[Cyrusbales]

he wouldn't be called daredevil.

what if dr. doom turned good?

Dr doom could lead the fantastic four, and reed richards could be the enemy? something like that, (obviously they wouldn't be called the fantastic four anymore, lol) if you can think of something good, then post a what if proposal when you'r sure(and tell more people about this )

 

[Venom160]

Dr doom could lead the fantastic four, and reed richards could be the enemy? something like that, (obviously they wouldn't be called the fantastic four anymore, lol) if you can think of something good, then post a what if proposal when you'r sure(and tell more people about this )

sounds cool, how bout "What if Venom bonded with Cletus Kasady instead of Eddie Brock?"

 

[Cyrusbales]

Possibly, as the Spidey route has yet to have been explored, that's a possibility.....

 

[Cyrusbales]

Go with it if you want, elaborate and see how it goes

Screen Name: byrd_man

Character you would like to play: Franklin Richards

Powers and a brief description of the character in proper English: Son of Reed Richards (Mr. Fantastic) and Sue Storm (Invisible Woman) and as far as powers....

Known Powers: An Omega-Level Mutant. Franklin Richards is a mutant with vast psionic powers. When Franklin achieves the conscious use of his full powers, he will have telepathic powers, tremendous telekinetic powers, the ability to fire enormously powerful energy blasts, and the ability to rearrange the molecular structure of matter, even up to a cosmic scale.

Reality Manipulation (latent): ability to manipulate reality itself. Nigh-omnipotent reality warping powers on a potentially infinite level, even up to a cosmic scale. His abilities are so great that he can create “pocket” universes in alternate realties. (A pocket universe is a cosmos that does not equal our own in size).

• Molecular Manipulation: ability to rearrange the molecular structure of matter, even up to a cosmic scale.

Telepathy (latent): He can read minds and project his own thoughts into the minds of others within a radius of 250 miles (on Earth). With extreme effort he can greatly extend that radius. His notable abilites include:

• Telepathic Illusion: ability to create realistic telepathic illusions and cause people to experience events which are not actually occurring.
• Telepathic Cloak: Can mask his presence from being detected by others. His abilities can at times go undetected or be counteracted by other more powerful telepaths depending on their level of skill in using their own psi abilities. He can extend these defenses to others around him as well.
• Mind Link: ability to develop a mental link with any person which remains as a connection to that individual.
• Telepathic Camouflage: ability to mask himself, and other peoples' presence from those around him. Can telepathically disguise himself, making her appearance to those around his quite different (changing the appearance of clothing, as well as more involved disguising).
• Mind Control: ability to control the minds of others upon mere concentration.
• Mind Possession: ability to possess the mind of another, and use that beings body as your own.
• Mind Alteration: ability to alter the minds of others by force of will.
• Mental Amnesia: ability to cause loss of particular memories, and amnesia in another person or even in a group of people.
• Psionic Shield: ability to erect a psychic shield for protection of himself and of others minds.
• Psionic Blasts: can project psionic force bolts which have no physical effects but which can affect a victim's mind so as to cause the victim pain or unconsciousness and can even kill an adversary.
• Astral Projection: ability to Astral Travel and communicate with others astrally through his own will, or through contact with the thoughts and memories of others. In the astral realm, where he can use his powers to create "ectoplasmic" objects. He cannot engage in long range astral projection on the earthly plane.
• Mental Detection: can sense the presence of another superhuman mutant within a small but as yet undefined radius of himself by perceiving the distinctive mental radiations emitted by such a being.
• Mind Transferal: able to transfer both her mind and powers into other host bodies should her own physical body be somehow killed.

Telekinesis (latent): possesses telekinetic abilities enabling him to levitate and manipulate living beings, inanimate objects, and to some extent energy psionically. He can “lift” as much as 10 tons of weight and possibly even more and can enable himself to “fly” at great speed.

• Bio-Blasts: ability to fire enormously powerful energy blasts which he generates from his bodies extrasensory potential.

Precognition (latent): precognitive abilities, which manifest themselves in his dreams, enabling him to envision possible future events. Although there are countless possible futures, Franklin foresees the most probable future path, and therefore his predictions usually come true. Franklin seemingly cannot foresee events more than roughly a few days in the future. Franklins precognitive power developed to the point at which he could see images of future events when conscious.
Dream-Trance (latent): ability to place himself in a trance-like state which remaining fully conscious. While he is in this trance, he can project an intangible, ghostlike image of himself to another location, through which he can see and hear what goes on at the location. What Franklin has called the “dreams” he has while in this state are not truly dreams, but his conscious awareness of the environment into which he has projected his “dream-self.”



Three reasons why you have chosen that character:

1. His powers are reason enough alone.

2. He's the offspring of the first family of superheroes

3. It'll be cool to see a grown up Franklin

What can you bring to this game?
The most popular omega mutant, next to Phoenix.



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

WHAT IF? PROPOSAL(and explain why if you can):

WHAT IF? Franklin Richards never reverted back to his childlike state and stayed as an adult version of himself.

 

[CorporalHicks]

what if heroes and villians got along?

what if reed richards sided with dr. doom?

 

[Batman]

WHAT IF? MARVEL RPG SIGN-UP FORM

Screen Name: Master Bruce

Character you would like to play: Spider-Man

Powers and a brief description of the character in proper English: Spider-Man posesses the powers of a man sized arachnid. This includes the power to crawl walls, lift over 10 tons, the proportionate agility and speed of a spider, and a sixth sense that warns him of impending danger (Spider-Sense).

With the symbiote, not only are those powers amplified, but he's given new ones like organic webbing, bulletproof protection, and the ability to morph and create new clothing.

Peter Parker used to be one of the greatest heroes of all time. Forged by the combination of a radioactive spider bite and a hard life lesson to endure, He went onto become a superhero called the Amazing Spider-Man. However, during a galactic level war, his costume was torn, so he was given a new one in the form of a mysterious black orb. The orb crawled onto him, making his costume turn into a black and white alienistic substance. Peter revelled in the power it gave him... But unknown to him, the costume was taking over his mind. Now, he's not one of the greatest heroes of all time. Now... he's something else entirely.

Three reasons why you have chosen that character:

1. He's my favorite Marvel character of all time.

2. I have ideas on how this particular predicament would affect his world as a whole.

3. I play Spider-Man in the 616 RPG. This version would give me a new challenge with the character.

What can you bring to this game? Two years of Hype RPG experience. ...And maybe some pie, too.

How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: As many as possible/needed.

WHAT IF? PROPOSAL(and explain why if you can): What if Spider-Man never rid himself of the symbiote?

Imagine a world where Peter was completely corrupted by the symbiote. His fears... his anibitions... they'd all be completely gone. He would never be the same man again. There'd be no Venom, sure. But at what cost?

[Cyrusbales]

I hate a mate who was ona board where they had proteus in the RPG, and he basically ruined it by being too powerful, don't want that to happen, although very imaginative choice I must say! I'm trying to base characters around what if's so we make sure we get some very different stuff to the normal 616 RPG.

We could do with a Magneto is anyone is interested? Would be cool having him as a hero

Approved

Sweetness. But I have two questions:

1) Is all of this going to be in the same universe? I don't see how we'd be able to interact if it wasn't... So are all of these "What If's" apart of the same continuity, or are we in different universes?

2) Two characters are allowed for this, right? I know it's on the first post... I just wanted to be completely sure before posting a second application.

Yes it's all in the same universe, so obviosuly no what if's that conflict. and yes there are two characters max, but people who've proved themselves as good posters can only take a second, and from the other RPG i know you're good We only need like 2 or 3 people before i can set up the season

 

[Brainiac 8]

I think it should be one universe, but the GM is going to have to make sure the ideas don't step on the others toes... Which means now there can be no Kingpin or Venom player.

That is correct...right?
