Hey guys. I usually do most of my stuff over on the ORP but thought this idea would fit better here.

What I am thinking, is that Watchmen, one of my favorite graphic novels ever, is currently in the spotlight with a major hollywood flick and all. So, what I thought would be interesting, was if we did a Watchmen 20 years later thread.

Ozymandias detonated the "Alien Invasion" as planned. The world shook in fear. World leaders band together and form a peaceful trust. Then, Rorschach gets his revenge. His diary is posted for the world to see in The New Frontiersman. At first people disbelieve it. He was a criminal. A psychopath. However, someone, supplies files, documents, incriminating evidence, to the world. Ozymandias has gone into hiding. The world remains vigilant. The world remains united.

For now.

In the wake of all of this, the world has found it's need for heroes once more. After the disappearance of Nite Owl and Silk Spectre, and the exile of Doctor Manhattan, the world felt woefully unprepared for the machinations of someone like Adrian Veidt. This world has found a new generation of heroes. After all...

Quis custodiet, ipsos custodes.

I want to find people that would be interested in this idea. I do not intend for the thread to be overly sexual, although certainly, that has been an aspect of Watchmen since the first comic. However, given the graphic nature of the world in which Watchmen takes place, I felt this was the right place to put this idea. There are many possibilities for characters, from a Nite Owl 3 to those that may have been altered by the science that pervades this society, or those that may have somehow been altered, awakened, by the psychic blast that Veidt unleashed.

I am open to most any idea, PM or post here if you have any questions.
 
Blake Wright ultra feminist (if they have them)
hates that she was born a woman
was a parlor trick hypnotist until veidts blast
name Mesmer
that all I have so far
 
Excellent. Hyper-feminism is fine. I mean, there was a good deal of all "isms" present in Watchmen.

I like the idea thus far. Looking forward to seeing where you can take it.
 
Not to jump on the x-chromosomal bandwagon...

Could I be a new Rorschach... an inheritor of his delusions and his journals... except have this be a woman?

After all, Rorschach was originally inspired by The Question, and they just made the new Question a woman...

Just an idea, and it's entirely crazy.
 
Chas, my love. Can I ever say no to you? That actually sounds brilliant. And, given that all his gear was convienently left in one place... works for me. Damn police squirreling away his stuff. lol

Nice. How does Mesmer do her thing? Does she use tech? Did the massive psychic backlash somehow awaken her in some way? What does she stand for? Things of that nature. That would be most useful. So far so good tho.

Thinking currently the story will mainly take place around the rebuilding of New York. The finishing of the once great city.

The focal point of her power is her watch
While she can use her ability without it the watch is more like an emotional crutch not only weakening her power but her sanity if not near or touching her
 
Nice. Hopefully we can get a couple more folks joined up. Then I will start the IC thread.
 
I'm definitely interested. I'm thinking some type of Comedian-esque character, who's been doing the united world govt's dirty work, from putting down separatist rebellions to overthrowing govt's who aren't cooperating with the US-Russian oligarchy. Lots of black ops work. I'll have more details up later, gotta get my bar b que on, it's fuckng gorgeous outside here in Missouri.
 
Sounds good so far. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help out.

Looking forward to getting this off the ground.
 
Ok guys, just hoping to get a couple more folks before I open the IC thread. If you know anyone that would be interested, pass it on.
 
I love watchmen and would love to be part of this. Let me think of a chatacter...
 
Ok, so just want to bump this and see if everyone is still interested. I am thinking I will just throw up an IC post and see if maybe that draws further interest. I will have something up by tomorrow afternoon, if y'all know anyone else that would like to partake, have them drop me a PM.

I should, Fates and God and Powers and Muses willing, have a lot of time this weekend. In that time, I should have my new Rorschach up and mobile.
 
Chas as a female Rorschach... strange, yet hot...

This would be cool to join but.. I've only seen the movie, and I'm not sure I could do it justice.
 
Well Ahren, this is an AU setting. So, if you feel up to it I would welcome you aboard. For most intents the movie was rather close to the book. Just a few of the subtleties and the ending.

If you decide you want in just PM me a bio. Or if you have AIM I am usually on.
 
Ok. So I started an IC thread, those that have already cleared ideas feel free to post. I will be posting some more world base stuff later. Here is the link to the IC

NICE.

And, um, Ahren. :: grins, blushin' ::

I appreciate the vote of confidence.

...one wonders if the voices in this woman's head will put up with a quantum of fanservice ever? I'll do my best, but I can't promise anything.
 
Well Luna, like i told you I think I'll be working on something similar to Nite Owl, but he won't be a new Nite Owl.
 
Hmmmmm...

I read Watchmen a little time ago, been hearing about the movie. Perhaps I will join. Probably as an effeminate young man who would be like... I don´t know...

Think Bruce Wayne without the murdered parents but the same zeal for justice and the same money. Dressed in a tuxedo and a top hat, inheritor to a great fortune. Uses a sturdy cane as a weapon. Probably knows or has a friendly relationship with Ozymandias ("he taught me the rich can be heroes too").

I shall call him...




THE BARON
 
At this point, Ozymandias has been in hiding for quite some time. It has been made public that he was responsible for the destruction of New York. He is very much alive, but his whereabouts is currently unknown. The Baron could certainly have been influenced by Ozymandias as a child or some such, but, given Ozy's status as a terrorist, he wouldn't have had the time or opportunity to do much training of others.

Looking forward to this getting off the ground.
