"Our very strength Invites challenge. Challenge incites conflict... Conflict breeds catastrophe."
In the wake of a Kree insurrection in 1995, S.H.I.E.L.D Director Nick Fury began a colossal project known as the Avengers Initiative, which saw the formation of an organised group of people with extraordinary gifts and abilities. Superheroes. These "Avengers" guarded the Earth from threats both internal and external, in times of turmoil even working with similarly aligned departments such as the X-Men, Sanctum Sanctorum or the Fantastic Four. Throughout these long years of chaos, the Earth's heroes battled its villains relentlessly, the Combined Organisations of the varying heroic groups and Government Peace Agencies soon saw the near-eradication and suppression of villainy. Earth entered what could only be described as a Golden Age, the people and its protectors grew content in a world fueled by change.
In 2018, Thor learnt his brother, Loki, had somehow come upon one of the six fabled Infinity Stones, the Space Stone - known as the Tesseract - and had acquired an army with the intent of launching a full-scale invasion of New York. The Iron Man, Tony Stark, took immediate steps to bolster Earth's physical defenses in the form of a robot Peacekeeping force hosted by an evolved A.I known as Ultron. The plan backfired horrendously, and Loki's invasion coincided with the A.I's rogue takeover of tech institutions across the globe. Earth was unprepared for the scale of war thrust upon them, heroes everywhere took up the mantle and rushed once more into the fray and villains long in hiding revealed themselves in chaotic emergence. As this war raged on, an unprepared Asgard was attacked by Frost Giants, leaving the bi-frost damaged and preventing Earth aid from Thor. Tony Stark, working with Bruce Banner, created an evolution of Jarvis known as Vision - powered by the Mind Stone - with the intent of fighting Ultron cybernetically. However, Loki's invasion culminated in a great battle above Avengers Tower, as a nuclear missile hacked by Ultron as a last laugh was destined to blast the whole City into dust. A 48 year old Iron Man made the ultimate sacrifice, single-handedly carrying the nuclear warhead into the rift through which Loki's forces attacked. Soon after Ultron was eliminated by Vision, but the Trickster God escaped the planet using the Space Stone.
The year is now 2031, and the scars of war plague the planet with lethal intent. Villains and crime are back in full force as Governments and Organisations suffer internal strife at an all-time high. Additionally, without a united goal and with many countries blaming America's Avengers for much of the suffering, international tensions and subterfuge are extremely common. The Old World is dead, most - if not all - of Earth's mortal defenders are either deceased or retired, the future is uncertain. It falls onto the green and inexperienced descendants of heroism to take up the mantle of their parents and safeguard their homeworld from obliteration. This is the dawn of a new age.

Hello! So in the wake of Endgame, I figured a good Marvel RP wouldn't be out of place. This will be a unique blend of the MCU and Comicverse, with very little focus on the more outrageous aspects of Marvel. Most characters will be to the scale demonstrated in the MCU or Fox's X-Men, however most characters from the comics will be open to have as your character's predecessor. Additionally, smaller twists to your character's backstory and lore are encouraged provided they make sense. I want this to be a mutual collaboration, where all ideas and storylines are encouraged. If you want to play a villain's predecessor, then that's fine too! The RP won't be possible without the interaction and trust of the players, and we can work together to make an experience everyone can enjoy.
Aaaaand everyone's least favourite part. Rules!
Rule 1: There's no definitive length, but writing quality is critically important. No one-liners, and you have to be coherent and reasonable in your posts. I'm not asking for essays or the descriptions of an Author, just reasonable writing skills.In the wake of a Kree insurrection in 1995, S.H.I.E.L.D Director Nick Fury began a colossal project known as the Avengers Initiative, which saw the formation of an organised group of people with extraordinary gifts and abilities.

Rule 2: No powerplaying or godmodding under any circumstances. You can't use another player character without permission or make moves for them, no instant-hitting other players.
Rule 3: No overpowered characters or actions. Think of the movie on the MCU scale, the absolute highest attainable power level of any given character can be no higher than pre-Infinity War Thor. Villain exceptions will be considered. No overpowered actions means tools that break the scale, so no Godblasts, no Phoenix Force.
Rule 4: No abusing unique items, Captain America is iconic for his vibranium shield so an OC can't duel wield vibranium shields. It's perfectly acceptable to use comic items that fit the lore tied to your character, just don't go overboard.
Rule 5: Fair Play is very important, if you're refusing to be engaging or interactive in the RP and insta-dodging or lording a superior powerset over another character, you will be warned, then removed. Being untouchable is basically being OP, don't do it. Hawkeye tried to subdue Vision in Civil War, he stood no chance but still had an effect. Both sides of the spectrum should treat vast power difference engagements similarly.
