When the world's strongest fell, hope rebuilt itself.
One year ago, the sky tore open...The Crucible - an AI machine god from beyond the stars - descended upon Earth, harvesting planetary energy in a campaign that spanned continents and dimensions. Its purpose was pure efficiency: absorb, process, move on.
Earth’s heroes stood together one last time — and lost.The battle raged for seven days across every horizon. When it was over, the Avengers were able to detonate the Crucible’s core, leaving behind fragments of impossible technology and silence where the world’s protectors once stood. But the Crucible escaped.In the aftermath, nations mourned. Relationships between heroes became strained. Villains took advantage of what would be called the "Year of Mourning."Calling on the memory of the heroes who fell, Vision formed The Path to Peace Network - an attempt to rally and stabilize the world, collect the mysterious Crucible fragments, and prepare for the Entity's inevitable return.
The "Fallen Six"The heroes who vanished during the final battle are known as the Fallen Six — the last to stand before the Crucible.Steve Rogers (Captain America)Led the final assault on the Crucible’s ground forces, wielding his shield against endless opposition. His last transmission: “Keep the light alive.”Thor OdinsonSummoned storms across half the planet, channeling divine lightning through the Crucible’s engines before vanishing in a blinding flash.Doctor Stephen StrangeContained a collapsing dimensional rift opened by the Crucible. The spell held, but so did the rift, taking him with it.Carol DanversAbsorbed the energy of a Crucible fragment to protect her allies, but the overload severed her from reality.Ben Grimm (The Thing)Piloted a direct strike against the Crucible’s planetary core, leading a S.W.O.R.D. assault unit through the upper atmosphere. His craft made impact, breaching the machine’s armor long enough for Thor’s lightning to strike the opening.Janet Van Dyne (The Wasp)Infiltrated the Crucible's core systems that connected its physical form to its processing consciousness.
RULES & EXPECTATIONSPath to Peace is not a solo sandbox — it’s a shared world.This group is collaborative. We’re building a long-term story together, and that means participation matters.We’re not “activity hawks,” but if you’re joining, you’re expected to contribute, not just wait for mods to create every story.
Whether it’s writing, helping others brainstorm, or leading small ops — your effort shapes the experience for everyone.1. Standard RulesRespect others. No harassment, no OOC drama.Descriptive writing only. Para, multi-para, or novella styles welcome.One canon muse per player. OC variants may be considered later.No godmodding or powerplaying. Always get consent for major interactions.Stay true to canon personality and tone. Adapt to the lore, but keep your muse recognizable.Real life comes first. You can take breaks — just log a hiatus in the proper channel.2. Group ParticipationPlayers are encouraged to initiate threads, run small missions, or build storylines within their division.Mods provide structure and global events, but this story thrives on collaboration.If you prefer to write casually or seldom, that’s okay — but note that progression and story impact come through active contribution.3. Prohibited ContentNo explicit NSFW or sexual material.No hate speech, racism, or bigotry (in or out of character).No plagiarism.
HOW IT WORKSPath to Peace is a living story — shaped by its players.1. The WorldThe RP world exists on Discord, with a hub account on Twitter for promotion.Writers post threads and storylines in the discord according to their Division.Discord is used for mission coordination, rolls, communication and standard RP.Major story beats are managed by moderators, but every player’s actions influence the world.2. Missions & FragmentsMissions are how your actions shape the story.Narrators (mods) post official missions in Discord.Writers sign up with their characters.Each mission includes difficulty, time estimate, and possible rewards.Successful missions may recover Crucible Fragments — remnants of alien tech left behind after the battle.Fragments matter.
They can be analyzed by Vision, stolen by villains, or harnessed for power — and they directly affect the ongoing lore.3. Field OpsWhen no mod is available, players can still write their own short “field ops”. These are self-led missions that develop personal storylines, recover fragments, or deepen character arcs.Field Ops must stay within lore consistency.Players can roll for outcomes using the dice bot system.Major events or global-scale stories must still be approved by mods.4. Mission ScoringMission outcomes depend on:Writing quality and effort.How well actions align with character canon and logic.Team cohesion and creativity in problem-solving.Dice rolls only determine chance outcomes — the rest comes from your storytelling.A good mission may grant 1–2 Crucible fragments.
A failed mission might see fragments fall into enemy hands.
Below will be applications to apply for the role of player and for the role of narrator. Accepted applicants will receive an invite to the Discord.
Q: What kind of RP is this?This is a Marvel Comics–based literate roleplay group run like a collaborative campaign, with the elements of D&D, incorporating a "West-Marches" style system with D20 rolls.
The story follows the aftermath of the Crucible Event, where Earth’s mightiest heroes vanished.
Players take on the roles of surviving heroes, villains, and agents trying to restore balance.Q: Is this based on the MCU or the comics?This group follows Marvel Comics continuity, not the MCU.
Adaptations are welcome, but characters should align with their comic personalities, histories, and relationships.Q: How do I join?Fill out the Google Form linked on the Hub Twitter account.Wait for mod review and acceptance.Once accepted, you’ll receive a Discord invite link.After joining, your role and Division access will be assigned.Q: What if my favorite character is taken?Only one version of each canon character exists in this story.
If your choice is taken, you can:Apply for another character who fits your writing style.Wait for inactivity or hiatus removals (announced periodically).Apply as an OC if it fits within a Division and lore context.Q: Can I play an original character (OC)?Yes — OCs are allowed if they make sense within the world (e.g. a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, a sorcerer’s apprentice, or a mutant).
You’ll still need to apply via the same form, and mods will ensure balance and fit.Q: How do missions work?Missions are story-driven threads that last for a specific amount of time. (Ranging between 15 minutes to an hour depending on type of mission.) This solves the issue of group and story threads in groups either fizzling out and going nowhere, or not having a proper conclusion.
Players sign up under the mission post; mods choose who participates based on character fit and balance.
Success or failure depends on dice rolls, teamwork, and creativity.Q: What are Crucible Fragments?They’re remnants of the defeated AI god, the Crucible, scattered across Earth.
Fragments hold strange power — some enhance tech or magic, others corrupt.
They are the story’s central “MacGuffins,” influencing global power struggles.Q: What’s a Field Op?Field Ops are player-led mini-missions or personal stories that don’t need a narrator.
You can use them to explore character arcs, relationships, or small-scale missions.
If the outcome affects world canon (like finding a fragment), mods will review and approve it.Q: Can villains participate in missions?Yes. Villain muses can run independent operations, oppose hero missions, or seek Crucible tech.
Outcomes are based on rolls and narrative fairness — not who writes “better.”
Collaborate OOC before combat-heavy interactions to ensure everyone’s on the same page.Q: How are missions scored?Each mission earns a Mission Performance Rating (MPR) based on:Creativity and teamworkWriting quality and flowRoll results and decisions
High-scoring missions may yield Crucible Fragments or intel rewards.Q: How often do I need to be active?There’s no strict activity quota.
If you need time off, post in the #hiatus-log channel.
Long inactivity without notice may free your character for others.Q: What happens if I fail a mission?Failure doesn’t end your story — it evolves it.
The world reacts: villains grow stronger, divisions adjust strategy, and missions branch naturally.
You can even base future Field Ops on the aftermath.Q: How do I know what Division to join?Street — Ground-level threats, Defenders-style.Global — Avengers-scale missions and geopolitics.Mystic — Magic, dimensional, or occult dangers.Cosmic — Space, alien, or interplanetary threats.
Mods may suggest placement based on your character’s lore.Q: Can I switch Divisions later?Yes — after one major mission or narrative arc, you may request a transfer if it fits your story progression.Q: Who runs missions?Narrators (Mods) run official missions.
Players can volunteer as Acting Narrators for Field Ops if confident in story pacing and fairness.Q: How do dice rolls work?Use a standard d20 roll:DC 8 = EasyDC 12 = ModerateDC 16+ = Hard
Natural 20 = major success
Natural 1 = major failure
Narrators can assign small bonuses for teamwork or canon synergy (+2 to +3).Q: Can I use art or make edits for my muse?Absolutely. Character banners, edits, and art are encouraged — just credit creators if using others’ work.Q: How do I contact the mods?For lore or system questions → use the help channel on discord orFor private concerns, application issues, or disputes → DM the Hub Twitter account.Q: Will the Crucible storyline come back later?Yes. Fragments and discoveries build toward an eventual Event Arc, where the missing heroes may return — or something worse arrives.
