Many of the world's so-called Super-Villains now reside in high-security prisons, scattered throughout America, while the more benevolent metahumans are watched closely by SHIELD. The world still flinches at the sight of super powers, whether good or bad, but those who deem themselves heroes are at least tolerated.<br/><br/>The Avengers is an initiative which both SHIELD and Stark Industries supported, with the former being more subtle in its help while simultaneously positioning themselves to manipulate its members. SHIELD sees the Avenger program as a method in pitting freak against freak while diminishing the losses of its own agents. Stark Industries on the other hand feels the Avengers are the only way to break the stalemate between SHIELD and its enemies. Stark's father, before he died, also believed the Avengers might be the only hope earth might have as he felt the current stability was nought but the calm before the storm.<br/><br/>With the creation of the Avengers also came the building of a school, Stormvalley high, which (through no coincidence) a large number of teen superheroes now attend. Here the teen Avengers are able to live under the aliases given to them by SHIELD while hopefully attaining a sense of stability and normalcy between missions. Most remain ignorant of the fact that they share the same school with their colleagues from the Avengers.<br/><br/><em><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">Game Mechanic:</span></em><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 11pt;"><br/>Marvel Teen Avengers allows players to pluck characters from the Marvel universe, revise them in almost any manner they prefer and plop them right into our own little RP world. The differences between each character and their alternate-selves may vary, both greatly and subtly, with only two constants; their skills/powers and alignments. It doesn't matter how much of them has changed (or stayed the same) from the original world to the current as long as they retain their alliances and abilities. As for the world itself, the heroes and villains all might be in their teens but humanity has progressed to its currently developed state.<br/><br/><br/><em><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">"Current" Restrictions:</span></em><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 11pt;"><br/>-First, check the Character thread to see which characters are already approved and in play. We are not allowing multiple versions of the same character.<br/><br/>-Secondly, if you wish to make a custom (non-canon) character, that is great! Just try to avoid powers those already in the game possess; we are trying not to double up here. Or if you wish to alter a canon character to work that is also great! Gender-swapping characters has been done already so that is one way to go. The only restrictions are that we would like all of the characters to be 'teenagers' and heroes. We are not looking for villain PCs at all, at this time.<br/><br/>-Thirdly, right now we have an overabundance of super-strong/super-tough characters, so we would really like to see characters that fall outside of the "Sheer strength" category.<br/><br/>-Lastly, we want to stress that this is first and foremost a plot driven game with bits of drama, comedy, and action alike. <strong>We are not looking to have "sexual encounters" be a large part of this game.</strong> If you are looking for a game with an abundance of such or a game that you, yourself or your character, -requires- a partner/relationship then you may want to look elsewhere. This is a team oriented setting. Not lone wolves, rogues, or the like. You must in the end, be able to adapt well to the setting and the group. </span><br/></span></span></span><br/><br/><br/><hr/><hr/><br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 15pt;"><strong>Please PM the following character sheet to Josietta for approval.</strong></span><br/><br/>If/when your character is approved he will post it in the character thread for you.

It no longer is based solely on a group of Teens in High School. It is based on a group of Heroes learning to be Superheroes in a world that is strife with danger after being peaceful for so long. There is one noteable difference in the first post of the main thread:  the Head of Shield is not Kelly, but <strong>Director Colonel Nick Fury.</strong></em></span><br/><br/><br/><hr/><hr/><br/><div align="center"><strong><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: comic sans ms;">Weapons Cache:</span></span></strong><br/><br/>The Avengers Weapons Cache is supplied with various Stark Tech Weapons. Most all of those weapons are handguns and rifles that fire blasts of energy. They all have settings for stunning and lethal damage. The cache is a small supply room in the top most floor of the Avengers tower, just off the same room the Quinjet is seated. It is only big enough to allow up to two people to enter comfortably at any given time. Captain America and/or Storm must be present to open the door to the weapons vault. The key is signatured to their specific persons through ways unknown to any but Tony.<br/><br/>On either side of the room the weaponry is displayed with a fingerprint coding to "check" them out. On the far end, opposite the door, is a small wall of melee weapons. Most of which would include silver-coated blades, such as swords, axes, and daggers. There is a small number of throwing stars and knives as well. The melee weapons are fingerprint/dna coded as well. In order to remove these weapons from the vault you must submit your fingerprint. This is for Tony to keep track of where his weapons are going and to prevent enemies who may have some how gotten into the vault (which is highly unlikely), from taking them without being identified. If you attempt to remove a weapon from the cache without submitting a fingerprint or dna sample you will be locked inside and the air would be sucked out of the room within 2-3 minutes time.<br/><br/>A Specialty Items:<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>The Sonic Taser</strong></span><br/><br/>(http://www.tnr.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/slideshow_image/taser.jpg)<br/><br/><br/><em>A pocket-sized “Sonic Taser,” a Stark Industries prototype that uses high-frequency sound waves to paralyze adversaries temporarily.
