DC x Marvel - Chapter 1: Genesis
-BUMP: UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT-
A custom setting inspired by the Marvel and DC comic universe where the players are the firsts of a new era of heroes and villains. Forget what you know of DC and Marvel settings, there are no established heroes and no infamous super villains. You are the first of your kind.
Characters are created by taking two characters, one from Marvel and one from DC, and using these as the base and inspiration for a brand new character. The new character itself has to be new and different from it's inspirations, not simply taking one character's power and adding them to the other character. Creativity is the center piece of this game.
Game is to focus primarily on the human element of the character and how you will choose to fit within the world. Will you don a mask and use your abilities for the greater good? Will use your new found powers for your own gain? Will you reject your calling and chose to cling to your old life?
Welcome to San Francisco, the year is 2019. Project Darkseed, an nascent alien creature entrusted in secret to Anthony Stark, titan of industry and master of Stark Enterprises, stirs in it's containment, the unpredictable but not undesirable consequences of endless experimentation and testing. The resulting wave of psycho-cosmic energy put dozens of people into a recuperative and supernatural coma from which they've just woken. As yet the pattern has not been connected. As yet, Tony Stark's questionable intentions have not been revealed.
Come, emerge into the waking world, imbued with newfound powers perhaps by the DarkSeed Wave, or perhaps from other sources, ready at last to embrace or reject the gifts laid upon you. San Francisco is abuzz with mystery and metahuman activity.
