Parameters for Characters:
The current world is bleak; with the remaining hero forces diminished by President Osborn's passing laws against vigilantism and his pressure to combat the growing amount of mutants.
The world currently:
Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters has been reclaimed by the federal government and from Headmistress Jean Grey's hands. It is now New York State Treatment Facility for Mutant Youth, more akin to a juvenile detention than a school to hone one's abilities. The students here are trained and experimented on in order to diminish or eliminate their powers entirely. As far as the general public knows, it's preventing future supervillans. When it comes to the reputation among other heroes, mutants and sympathetic circles, it is a compulsory prison.
Norman Osborn is now President Osborn, after a sweeping victory at the polls two years ago. His son, Harry Osborn runs the company.
The Avengers are disbanded, and were since the near defeat with Ultron. SHIELD is technically a pawn of President Osborn's, but original and loyal members have gone into hiding and operate underground. Of the Avengers, Steve Rogers, Dr. Stephen Strange, Tony Stark, and Thor Odinson (for now) are dead. Any other members can be killed at a player's discretion, gone missing, or stay alive and around completely. These four are canonically gone from our timeline. Iron Fist is also dead, in case anyone was curious. If there are any questions, please ask!
The Young Avengers, or our group of sidekicks, parted ways five years ago. All could have chosen to leave the state entirely before restrictions rose, or could have returned to complacent citizenship. You may also continue your vigilante or hero efforts underground. Know that all eyes are on you, and you are on a watch list.
The X-Men are also disbanded, and have suffered the most casualties of all the groups. Many were killed in the Ultron attack, and many others have gone missing, with fear that they have been taken captive and experimented on by one of the various science groups under the President's thumb. Known alive members, albeit in hiding on a small island named Krakoa off the Pacific Ocean, are Jean Grey, Magneto, Mystique, Emma Frost, Storm, as well as the New Mutants and some other students that they managed to escape with. Scarlet Witch and her twin brother Quicksilver lead the Brotherhood of Mutants, who's numbers are unknown but they are in hiding as well. Other X-men who aren't mentioned are considered dead or somewhere in hiding. Names not mentioned can be negotiated as alive or dead, as per the player's discretion.
The Future Foundation suffered the least casualties, but the significant death of Johnny Storm already caused quite the fracture. The Fantastic Four of course, are not in operation as heroes. Everyone has resumed their scientific duties, and are sympathetic to mutants and their fellow heroes. Peter Parker is a scientist there, or was, as he has gone off the radar.
New York is highly monitored and the security in and out of the state has been ramped up. Aside from Norman's Liberators' a group who's identities remain hidden for now, his Sentinel Program monitors the streets with small drones that patrol, seeking out any signs of unknown energy, unknown activity or possible mutant activity. Public reception on the president is mixed, but everyone can agree that the streets have been 'safer' from massive destruction since, and petty crime has mysteriously lowered in reported crimes. It has not been eliminated completely, but known offenders seem to have disappeared completely off the streets...
THE CS OUTLINE
please feel free to use a custom character sheet as long as the basics are applied to it. Also feel free to use no code whatsoever. Reserves are allowed even if multiple people are going for the same role. Please be lenient with your character if there is heavy demand for one specific role.
THE ROLES
THE LEADER. First to defend, and last to concede, the leader was somebody marked by passion and ambition. They always had an infectious sense of courage in the face of the burden weighing on their shoulders.
ELI BRADLEY, Taken by:
fin
THE PRODIGY. Ever the competitive spirit, the prodigy worked tooth and nail for their recognition. Categorized as somebody ever sure of themselves, deep down, they struggle with feelings of doubt about their own competence.
VIVENNE STRANGE, Taken by:
BELIAL.
THE REBEL. The rebel has never done well with rules. Accustomed to being their own authority, their lethal methods aren't always praised by their colleagues. They see things clear, right and wrong, and are willing to do what it takes to punish wrong.
Taken by: Open.
THE CREATOR. Learned and well-educated, the creator is gifted with exceptional intelligence. They are have an ambitious curiosity that threatens to surmount their sense of ethics.
Taken by: Open.
THE WARRIOR. The warrior is a fierce and loyal individual that hails from another world. They are more experienced with bloodshed than the rest, and will do whatever it takes to ensure the safety of their comrades, and the Earth.
Taken by: Open.
THE JOKESTER. In the face of danger, the joker is seemingly at ease and in their own world. They provide a sense of lightheartedness amidst calamity, although sometimes ill-timed. The Jokester battles with something important in their personal lives.
Taken by: Open.
THE GUARDIAN. Usually the most level-headed sidekick, the guardian doubles as the mediator. They have a way with words, and the scalpel, as they tend to wounds both physical and mental. Sometimes, at the cost of their own health.
Taken by: Open.
THE OUTSIDER. The only one who might not be recognized is the outsider. Not a sidekick, not a hero, not even present when Sokovia was forced into the skies. The outsider is a completely new face that found their way into the mix of things.
Taken by: Open.
THE INNOCENT. The youngest of the group, the innocent was most marked by the events that happened five years ago. Their naivete and optimism was both a weakness and a strength for the team. They looked up to the Leader greatly.
Taken by: Open.
THE MAVERICK. The maverick was skilled, and exceptionally so; though their arrogance and recklessness was what most people remembered of them. They were fiercely independent and recognized the unorthodox qualities to life.
Taken by: Open.
CHARACTER CREATION RULES
1. Applications are not first come first serve, so feel free to go for whatever role you'd like. Try to keep in mind a sense of unification, and going for a role that doesn't garner as much interest makes you more likely to be accepted. We don't mean to be any kind of elitist or biased with any of the applications, but please show us your best! We will consider characters that best fit the roles, as well as that best manifest the gritty, despondent and realistic take on the genre. The icons in the code here do not mean that any of the mentors are set in stone (except for Fin and myself with our cheeky relevant icons). Feel free to pick whatever mentor you'd like! But we do want to encourage character diversity in personalities and motivations. Not everyone will be the same cookie cutter hero. The more drama, the better.
2. If your character is not accepted, please don't take it personally! It isn't meant to be any kind of personal slight against anyone. If any extension is needed please notify either me or Fin. Otherwise, apps will be due in ONE WEEK as of this post (which will be clarified in the OOC thread). Soft deadline is one week. Hard deadline will be two days after for extensions. Then we will invite people into the discord.
3. Faceclaims are to be realistic, with real celebrities or models. No 'real' people (people you know, random photos on deviantart or pinterest). If you don't know who they are, don't use them. No drawn or anime art. Any art in the app can be used for aesthetic (such as comic references).
4. As specified, characters should be 21-29. If you yourself are under eighteen, I urge you to seek another RP. This was not specified in the interest check, but we are saying it now. This is for community comfortableness sake as well as maturity level in and out of RP. We are going to be harsh yes/no on this. If you are eighteen in a month, please do not apply.
