Wanted: Bucky Barnes

After Hydra's fall, one man found their Soldier. Protected him. Freed him from the Words. Gave him a home and a new life. Now, with the nation spiralling towards civil war, that man is becoming the newest enemy of Bucky's oldest friend. What will he choose?

Live to Rise is looking for someone to answer that question. Will it be you?

Ah yes, the three genders: Girl, Boy, and Mischief

Wanted: Lady Tareva

Lady Tareva is the Sorceress Supreme of Atlantis.  She's not quite as powerful with magic as Dr. Strange, but as a full-blooded merwoman, she has a number of physical advantages (and can use magic to counter some of her limitations, such as not being able to breathe out of the water).  She also has formidable mental discipline, enough to allow her to resist the allure of the Serpent Crown (at least long enough for her to secure it).

As Atlantis' Sorceress Supreme she has a place on the Royal Council and near-total authority when it comes to magic and magic-users.  Even Namor will defer to her (usually, anyway, he's really bad at deferring).  On the flip side, with great power, etc. etc.  She's responsible for protecting Atlantis from mystical threats, and helping out with mundane ones if they're more than Namor and the mundane defenses can handle.   She takes that seriously, but the rest of her history and personality are up to you.

Suggested PB: Virginia Hey

Wanted: The Patriot // Jeffrey Mace

Mace is the Deputy Director of Operations for AEGIS (Augmented-Enhanced-Gifted Investigation Service) and Gyrich's partner in crime law enforcement.  His past relationship (if any) with everyone's second-favorite redhead is fairly flexible.  Previously they were played as having been friendly acquaintances for years, but I would be open to them meeting for the first time via AEGIS if that's what you prefer.   (FYI, my Gyrich isn't the raging asshole he's often written as in the comics, though he does have strong views on superhumans behaving responsibly).

As we depart from MCU continuity before he was introduced, he can be pretty much anywhere in his show timeline (other than, you know, dead).  Already-powered, not-powered-yet, getting-powered-up, it's up to you. Likewise, feel free to incorporate comic elements that can fit into the MCU, if you like.  

Questions or ideas or anything, please hit us up!  We'd really love to have this guy!

Live to Rise - Premise & Plot

It's the day after tomorrow, and yesterday the world was turned upside down. Once upon a time last Tuesday, most of humanity lived in the bliss of ignorance. There was no such thing as monsters. Superheroes and villains lived only in comic books, and aliens were confined to science fiction. Anybody who claimed otherwise could safely be dismissed as a conman or a crackpot. Of course, every now and then there would be a whispered story of something inexplicable or a rumor of someone larger than life, but there was never any solid proof, and you know how people exaggerate. It was probably just some guy with a high-tech prototype. Or weather balloons. Or swamp gas. Then one fine spring day a god ripped a hole in the sky, and everything changed. Hundreds of thousands of people witnessed an alien invasion of one of the largest cities on the planet, and they and millions more watching on tv saw it defeated by a handful of extraordinary individuals. When it was over, Manhattan was littered with alien corpses and pieces of unearthly technology, and formerly comfortable certainties were no longer so assured. Then, there was another alien attack on Greenwich, and suddenly, reality was a whole new ball game.   Afterward, the dust might have settled, but nothing else did. Despite the best efforts of SHIELD, a thriving black market in alien artifacts sprang up, as people from hoodlums to scientists to mercenaries to dilettantes to cultists scrambled to get their hands on some. Other superhumans, inspired or infuriated by the example of the Avengers, grew restive. Politicians the world over sought to manipulate the tragedy to advance their own agendas. And further afield, across the universe and beyond, other forces took notice of a previously unremarkable little blue world ... * -------------------------------------------------------- * Where We Are Now The revelation of Hydra's infiltration of SHIELD happened a little over a week ago, and the fallout is still raining down. SHIELD has been outlawed (at least temporarily) in many countries, including the US, and most agents are either on the run or in hiding. Maria Hill is the acting Director, and is aboard the Helicarrier, which has been granted asylum by the island nation of Genosha. Hydra, however, is in even worse straits, having placed a number of very powerful and ruthless individuals on its Insight List, including several heads of state and crimelords like Wilson Fisk and Giuletta Nefaria. The events of Age of Ultron have not happened, though Wanda and Pietro exist (and we would love to see them in play, be it as villains, heroes, or something in-between). While the Tesseract and the Aether exist, they simply are what they are and aren't Infinity Stones. The gem in Loki's scepter is, as was established in Avengers ("You can't fight yourself") a creation of the Tesseract, though it is sentient in its own right, making for some interesting AU possibilities for Vision. For mutants, things are not going well. In late December, the Brotherhood made an attempt to assassinate Senator Graydon Creed, which failed spectacularly thanks to a motley group of X-Men, Avengers, and Sentinels. Most of the terrorists were either killed or captured, and Magneto himself was badly wounded by Sentinel Prime. Anti-mutant activists were both enraged and emboldened, and Creed is already hard at work on passing Registration laws and expanding the Sentinel program. On the magic side of things, the Tesseract's removal back to Asgard led to an upsurge in magic in the world. With the Convergence destroying the Barrier Odin had put in place to shield Midgard, beings from other Realms are now able to get in. The Convergence also destroyed the Montesi Formula, leading to a return of the curse of vampirism (though most individual vampires destroyed by the Formula remain gone). * -------------------------------------------------------- * Live to Rise is set in the Avengers/Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. universe and includes: * Incredible Hulk * Captain America 1 & 2 * Thor 1 & 2 * Iron Man 1-3 * Avengers * Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (episodes 1-8)* We also include an AU-ified X-Men 1, but not 2 or 3.     Inclusion of other Marvel comic based movies will be on a case-by-case basis (except X-Men 3, which will never happen). * pretty much all of the events occurring between Episodes 9 and 17 are also included, with the possible exception of Lorelei's visit

The world has been thrown into turmoil. Two alien invasions in as many years has resulted in thousands of casualties, with both only narrowly beaten back, and dangerous advanced technology falling into unscrupulous hands. Magneto's defeat by the Sentinels drove mutant supremacists to increasingly desperate and savage lengths. Rumors grew of uncanny monsters stalking the shadows and taking the unwary. But, through it all, humanity placed its trust in S.H.I.E.L.D. And then S.H.I.E.L.D. fell. Join this universe at live2rise.jcink.net
