You need to choose a higher profile Marvel Super Hero.  Below is a list of approved character choices,  if you have alternatives please contact me directly for approval.Once you pick a character note it here and then write a short 3-4 sentence brief on how you plan to roleplay the character,  this will give me an idea to know that you will be roleplaying the character close to their iconic style  (I don’t want a bloodthirsty Spiderman running around).In the very beginning, the Heroes will be in their normal environs  SEPARATE – doing whatever they do (so other than those on similar teams like the FF or at the Avengers Mansion will be communicating with one another immediately),  but that will change once the ball gets rolling.  New York will be the basic starting ground,  but if you see your Hero being out of town or elsewhere that will work for the opening set-up as well.  Once chosenPlease write a short Bio for your Hero with the following format…HERO NAME:REAL NAME:    [Is Identity Secret:  Yes or No]QUOTE:OCCUPATION:BASE OF OPERATIONS:PERSONALITY:  BASIC POWERS & TACTICS:BACKGROUND:Power Level Limits will be determined by me once you send in the Hero you wish to play…  You can then go about building the character as you wish.  I will expect you to keep the basics of the Iconic Hero down  (same with basic background)  but feel free to  “reimagine”  minor things about Statistics as you think will be cool/fun for the Ultimate setting.  For Example:  our Ultimate Spidey might have his webbing be organic  (like the movies)  rather than Equipment.I will approve or suggest changes on all final stats.Finally, I don’t want characters posted here where everyone can see them. Please email characters directly to me. I prefer that everyone use  “Simpson’s Mutants & Masterminds Character Builder”,  it is an Excel program -  but if you cannot use it for whatever reason write your Hero up in standard  “Stat Block”  similar to those shown in the M&M Core Book  or  Freedom City.Questions about the game in general can be posted here or emailed to me.RUNNING THE GAME When action starts that requires us to go round-to-round, I’ll detail the situation as appropriate and post an initiative order. Each player then posts his hero’s actions, making all relevant die rolls and including them as a “footer” in his post. Once everyone has posted, I’ll cobble together the various posts into a round summary. Then, the process starts over again. This is pretty much a PBP standard.There are, however, two problems with the standard.1. By the time your hero’s turn comes up in the initiative order, your posted actions may be irrelevant or impossible.2. Spending Hero Points becomes problematic.Fortunately, these problems are not insurmountable.1. You can post one alternate desired action. Think of this as an if-then situation. This means your may still bump into a situation where hero ends up with no possible action during a round, but these occurrences should be rather rare.2. I won’t be making your damage saves for you. You roll your own damage save against the DC that I’ll provide. If you don’t like the result, spend a Hero Point and take appropriate action.OTHER STUFF... 1.   Put your characters name and or codename in the title of the post. This helps not only me but other players to remember who you are.2.   Character will roll all dice for their characters 3. “Quotes” for when your character speaks or is saying something. 4.   Thoughts should be Italics. If you want to use different colors that’s fine, just so long as I can see them. 5.   *Asterisks* for actions, and put the roll result, plus your skill/attack, etc. bonus and total for your result (*Spidey looks around, Spot 5 +10 =15*). If you want to spend a Hero Point in any case just put that in there also (*Spidey shots the big villain by the door, rolls a 1, spending a Hero point to re-roll I roll…*). This goes for Saves also.  Remember that you can spend a Hero Point after you roll BUT before you know the result if you succeed or not. Remember it all about the trust.  If you are attacking, please include the DC and type of attack that the target needs to make (*Spidey punches the big villain by the door, rolls a 12 +8 ranged attack bonus =20 DEF, if it hits, the villain takes +5L {with 1 level of Penetration} damage*). 6.   Any OCC questions, etc. please put something like [OCC –question, can Spidey get a clear shot at the villain by the door?]7.   At times I will use [ spoiler ] posts for certain characters about certain information. I will tell the person who can read them, and he or she can react to that information. 8.   In combat situation, at the top or the bottom of the post put how many Hero Points you have left and how main hits you have taken (Lethal and Stun) and any other conditions that you are under (Dazed, Fatigued, Drained, etc). 9.   I will be using the Option: Knockback (M&M pg. 129). 10. No house rules. Until I'm more familiar with the PbeM game, I'm not prepared to change it.</blockquote>
