Link to Role-Play
​

Justice Avengers is a crossover superhero role-play inspired by the comic book industry. The world of the RP is a combination of different settings taken from different franchises, but will primarily take its cues from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The two main influences are Marvel and DC Comics, but other franchises that can be considered "superhero" are allowed and can be implemented into the over-all universe.

Any character that fits the RP's definition of a superhero/villain or from a franchise focused on that definition will be allowed as long as we can work their story into the RP's universe. So if you're not sure if they're allowed...just ask! As such, almost any character -even if they're native to Marvel and DC- will need their history (and possibly powerset) altered to fit the RP. On that note, keep in mind that the RP will have a very Avengers-like tone and set-up so even if a character fits the definition, they may not be easily incorporated into a superhero RP.

The main superhero team is the Justice Avengers, founded by SHIELD, but the X-Men also exist. We'll also make more teams as we need them. The only confirmed characters in the RP will be mentioned in the story unless they're claimed by someone; I'll pretend certain characters, no matter how prominent, don't exist in the RP until they're either claimed or used in a way. However, some characters will probably be mentioned and put "on hold" until we need them. If a character is claimed later into the story, we'll edit the RP however we can to make their "universe" fit.

You can be a general version of a character or a specific one from a specific form of media (maybe you like teenage Tony Stark from Iron Man: Armored Adventures). If it's a specific version, just make sure I know~

The RP will start before the final battle against Ultron in Sokovia Latveria as everyone comes together to save the world. There will be a time-skip afterwards to the real start of the RP with the new status quo, which will be figured out after we know who all is in the RP. So your characters can be on any side (that makes sense) at the beginning and then end up however/wherever you'd like (so your character can be on Ultron's side or be a lone hero and switch to the Justice Avengers during or after the battle, etc.).

Recommended franchises to choose from: Marvel Comics (Avengers, X-Men, etc.), DC Comics (Justice League, Teen Titans, Constantine, etc.), GI Joe, Image Comics (Invincible, Spawn), Dark Horse Comics (Hellboy), Power Rangers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Stan Lee's The Condor, original film properties (Hancock, Jumper, Push, etc.)


Official Rules

1. No godmodding/powerplaying however difficult that may be in this RP. Be creative with your characters, but don't ruin everyone else's fun!
2. No OCs.
   
3. The basics of any characters have to be as true as possible to their source, but we can change everything after that such as gaining a new power throughout the RP, a different romance from the source, etc.
4. To follow Rule 3, we can change anything about the character that we have to in order to make them fit into the RP.
5. I can't stress this enough: if you want to be a character and aren't sure if they're allowed, just ask! It's a pretty open RP.
6. If you want to claim a character for later, I'll allow it if you have a good reason.Otherwise, we'll leave them available for someone else.
7. You can have as many characters as you want, but you must be able to keep up with them or I'll ask you to cut down.
8. Only one of each character and each alias! If someone picks a character you wanted, but it's a different person under the mask (but same alias), we can work something out. If someone picks the same character and they have the same real name, but a different alias, then we can still work something out. There has to be a major difference between the two, though; Smallville's Superman and Man of Steel's Superman can't coexist.
9. If you want a character, just post claiming him/her/it and what they're from! Remember to mention if it's a specific version. If you can think of a way that they'll fit into the RP, then

"A person -generally humanoid- with unique capabilities who is tasked -either by personal mission, special circumstances, or as an occupation- with combating crime, defending citizens, or protecting the Earth as a whole."
​

What it means to be a "superhero" is difficult to define. In fact, Earth has seen many different people dedicated to making the world a better place over the years. By extension, "supervillains" have risen to do harm to those who can't defend themselves. The world is no longer mundane; aliens, robots, mutants, demons, extra-dimensional threats and more have made Earth the center of a diverse universe. As such, superheroes and supervillains have emerged with various origins and abilities. The Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division -SHIELD, for short- was founded as humanity's defense against extraordinary threats. With programs on the front lines such as the GI Joe branch of the military, the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense, and -most recently- the Justice Avengers Initiative, SHIELD has become a globe-spanning defense organization composed of even more diverse and threat-specific organizations. SHIELD has backed Earth's defenders in protecting the planet against threats such as the Chitauri, Kryptonians, the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, Hydra, the Sinister Six, and even the Golden Army.​

However, one of SHIELD's defunct defense programs -an advanced Artificial Intelligence named Ultron- was brought to life by terrorists using extraterrestrial technology. Spreading himself throughout countless bodies and harnessing technologies ranging from Hydra's weapons to mutant-hunting Sentinels, Ultron brought it upon himself to save the world...by destroying humanity. Fortunately, Ultron's plan to integrate himself into a new body was foiled by the Justice Avengers, giving birth to a new hero: Vision. Unfortunately, however, Ultron's mysterious endgame involving large amounts of Vibranium in the country of Latveria has not been stopped. ​

It is up to not just the Justice Avengers, but all kinds of heroes to stop Ultron and save humanity from extinction.​

Justice Avengers
Founded by SHIELD Director Nick Fury, the Justice Avengers Initiative was designed to bring together a group of remarkable people who could together do more to defend the world than any one person could do alone. If it wasn't for the Justice Avengers, Earth would have fallen to the Chitauri or the Kryptonians and it never would have been revealed that Hydra, a Nazi terrorist organization, had infiltrated SHIELD.

S.H.I.E.L.D.
Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcements and Logistics Division
An enormous umbrella organization comprised of several world defense organizations. Controlled by a board, but directed by Colonel Nick Fury (at least, publicly), SHIELD has a branch for virtually any type of threat: criminal, terrorism, supervillainy, paranormal, extraterrestrial, extradimensional, and so on. Though their main branch was infiltrated by Hydra, almost all of Hydra's elements have been flushed out. Due to its large size, various of its agents have experience in superheroics. Some of its smaller departments are ARGUS (the military branch of which the GI Joes are a part), the BPRD (the supernatural), and X-Force (mutant business).
​

X-Men
Led by Professor Charles Xavier, the X-Men are a team of mutants based out of Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. Though they have been the subject of extreme prejudice, they are responsible for saving the world on more than a single occasion. Some have even served with the Justice Avengers, as well as SHIELD/X-Force.

Hydra
A terrorist organization with roots in Nazi Germany, Hydra was thought to be dismantled during World War II. However, it was splintered into many factions and had even infiltrated SHIELD. Though it was mostly flushed out out of the defense organization, Hydra has been on the rise -along with Cobra, its military division. Hydra's experimentation led to Ultron's current form.
