Marvels RPG: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

Originally known as Casualties of War, based heavily in the [[Marvel Universe]] post-[[Civil War (Comic Book)|Civil War]], it was eventually hacked. With some additions being made and some balancing issues being addressed, Marvels was opened a few weeks later. This time, rather than being based in any specific point in the [[Marvel Universe]], the storyline was set in an [[Alternate Continuity]] based on both the [[Marvel Universe]] and [[Ultimate Marvel]] (Universe 818, to be specific), while allowing members to put just about any twist on characters that they want, in addition to allowing completely original characters. While a lot of characters work solo, most are banded together in different teams, each with specific mission statements and/or location.

* ''Excalibur'' (British [[Super Team|super hero team]].)

* ''Generation X'' (A [[Super Team|team]] made of teen [[Superhero|super heroes]] based in New York. A team of [[True Companions]] formed during the Conquest event. Includes Spider-Man as a member.)

* ''New Avengers'' (Believing that Nick Fury had a larger plan with the Avengers, Wolverine faked his own death and formed a team of his own.)

* ''Serpent Society'' (A team of snake-based criminals who is simply out to get rich.)

* [[Anti-Hero]]: Many, including the Punisher and Wolverine.

* [[The Atoner]]: Several, including Synch whose ability to mimic powers led to him burning down his school when they first manifested.

* [[Badass Normal]]: The game contains rules for making your character a non-powered human, which gives your character a high amount of bonus at the start of the game, but also makes them much weaker than other characters in the long run... of course, most members can find ways to get around those weaknesses.

* [[BFS]] and [[Absurdly Sharp Blade]]: Several. Most notably Excalibur, wielded by the Black Knight.

* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: Black Knight diving down and cutting off the Hulk's arm just as he is about to crush Aura.

** Ceri and Sunfire saving about half of Hong Kong from the Hulk.

** For Example: Carnage or Terrax.

* [[The Chessmaster]]: Nick Fury. Professor Charles Xavier {{spoiler|Sr}}. Forge, {{spoiler|controlling the Brotherhood by keeping Magneto artificially alive.}}

** Ares: Killed in Siege.

** Winter Soldier (Bucky Barnes): Imprisoned in Russian gulag in the comics.

** Silver Samurai: Killed in Wolverine Goes To Hell.

** Human Torch: {{spoiler|Killed during the Three storyline}}.

* [[Death Is Cheap]]: The rules allow characters to be ressurected or having narrowly escaped death through retcons.

** Daken fighting his way through the Japanese Underworld to return to his body spiritually, after his body was sliced into tiny pieces by Black Knight. This small obstacle was removed with some participation by Kiji and the Hand who surgically and mystically restored his original body.

* [[Determinator]]: Many. If any of the New Avengers are coming for you, you better run.

* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]]: The heroes managed to defeat the Galactus Swarm, making them the first species in the universe to survive the infestation.

** Vengeance is, for instance, a pretty obvious [[Captain Ersatz]] for Batman.

* [[For the Evulz]]: Some teams or factions are under no illusion of what they are. The Chaos Swarm is generally seen as Evil for Evil's Sake.

* [[Improbable Aiming Skills]]: The ability to make split second aiming decisions and being able to 'cap' a butterfly at 100 yards is always useful on the occasion that your character happens to run into a Super Villain. Aiming Powers such as Reflex Aim, Targeting and Instinctive Aim are a staple at the site. Characters with particular skill include: Hawkeye, Spider-man and Longshot.

* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]: With each member being allowed four characters when joining the site and the possibility to buy more, this is unavoidable.

* [[Loads and Loads of Roles]]: Each member has access to at least four different characters. At the time of writing, the member with the most characters has 29.

* [[Powered Armor]]: The rules actively support the creation and usage of these.

* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]: Several characters, what with them being demons or otherwise immortal or long lived, as granted by the Extended Life/Immortality power. The site's version of Wolverine is notable for having been alive since the stone age, opposed to his [[Marvel Universe]] counterpart having lived for a little more than 100 years.

* [[Retcon]]: Has happened from time to time, mostly if a member have taken over a scrapped character from another member.

* [[Superhero]]: Seeing as how it is based on the [[Marvel Universe]], there are plenty of these...

* [[Super Villain]]: And just about every character that isn't a super hero is a super villain.
