With how many characters in DC are derivatives of other DC characters, it's bound to happen with OCs. The challenge is always making it your own.
That said, I do love folks playing the lesser known characters, and I stated earlier that I'm undecided about the bigger ones. What @Garficcino wrote...
Yeah, I'm gearing it towards folks playing their own OCs for the most part. Not necessarily powered, or even heroic. As far as the framework goes, I have that information coming soon.
But, I can say that I'm leaning towards a style of progession that puts major focus on one specific arc at a...
It will probably come up at some point, but I'm not 100% what I'll be doing in regards to folks playing characters from established DC lore like a Batman or a Superman.
They would still be active during the period the RP takes place, so it would be odd to ignore their existence.
It's interesting what you said about locking people out. I used to fear that when I was creating worlds or settings, I got around that by doing a broad strokes type of history for certain events.
This war happened, but the details will be worked out when, if, we ever decide to roleplay that...
"These people, these superheroes, are exactly who we needed to defend our weak and innocent from the terrors that this world and the universe at large will throw at us.

I should also clarify, I do also mean worlds and characters that are original. Continuing stories in those settings or any setting. Just wanting to know if everyone else is as nerdy as me about this kind of worldbuilding.
I wanted to know how everyone feels about having different stories and RPs take place in the same setting, be it one they or someone created, that may not necessarily be related?
And for those that have done it, how has it helped your worldbuilding skills or has influenced a plot or character...
Hello, everyone. I've taken a long hiatus from roleplaying, but now I feel it's the perfect time to make a triumphant return to it. I've enjoyed reading everything on this site, especially Empire City, shout out to those folks, and I'm glad I found it.
