Quote:When Copyright Protection Becomes Public DomainThere needs to be some sort of law that states if a comic book character is dead (actually dead) and hasn't had an issue in 5 years then their name is up for grabs.
The data below will let you know when you can safely use a piece of art or music without permission because it is now in public domain after copyright protection expiration, or how long the copyright protection will last.
* Published before 1923 - now in public domain
* Published from 1923 to 1963 - When published with a copyright notice © or "Copyright [dates] by [author/owner]" - copyright protection lasts 28 years and could be renewed for an additional 67 years for a total of 95 years. If not renewed, now in public domain.
* Published from 1923 to 1963 - When published with no notice - now in public domain
* Published from 1964 to 1977 - When published with notice - copyright protection lasts 28 years for first term; automatic extension of 67 years for second term for a total of 95 years.
* Created before 1/1/1978 but not published - copyright notice is irrelevant - copyright protection lasts for the life of author and 70 years or 12/31/2002, whichever is greater
* Created before 1/1/1978 and published between 1/1/1978 and 12/31/2002 - notice is irrelevant - copyright protecion lasts the life of author and 70 years or 12/31/2047, whichever is greater
* Created 1/1/1978 or after - When work is fixed in tangible medium of expression - notice is irrelevant - copyright protecion lasts for the life of author and 70 years based on the the longest living author if jointly created or if work of corporate authorship, works for hire, or anonymous and pseudonymous works, the shorter of 95 years from publication, or 120 years from creation. -
Quote:Agent Liberty is featured in the World of New Krypton series from DC Comics. He has a cameo as George W. Bush's bodyguard during the summit with the New Kryptonian delegates. This is a recent title. (Within the last 3 years.)There needs to be some sort of law that states if a comic book character is dead (actually dead) and hasn't had an issue in 5 years then their name is up for grabs.
I mean, seriously, who the hell has even heard of Agent Liberty in a way other than your forum post? -
Ever since rejoining, I'm having a hard time finding groups and people to hang out with. I seem to run into a lock of soloers or people who are RPing. I would like to find a regular group of people to hang with. Please don't recommend trolling the global channels, I haven't had any luck there. XD Send me a PM here or comment below. Thanks.

You gotta read the whole thing T, not just skim it. The theme is a futuristic interplanetary alliance which is recovering from the tyranny of an evil emperor. You were sent back by your planets government to ensure their survival in the coming civil war. The idea is to make your character, and make the planet they come from, the planet would then be in the Alliance. You got to read the whole thing to understand it...

So that is the gist of it. Questions? Comments? Additions? I would like everyone's honest input, and see if something like this is worth it and is desired. Feel free to send me a PM or comment below.

Popular themes I would like to include:
Mutants: Under the Emperor, genetic modification was encouraged and widespread, although mutant society has since diminished, they are still numerous throughout the United Systems.
Cyborgs/Androids: Like genetic modification, synthetic life and augmentation proliferated across the old empire and there are numerous planets which accept synthetic-only lifeforms.
Steam-punk: After the collapse of the old empire, many planets turned to the Eighteenth century for inspiration, powered by steam, these civilized worlds are filled with many wondrous inventions.
Zombies: In an empire where scientific advancement was placed ahead of human rights, zombism was inevitable. Though the legitimacy of necrotic culture is a subject for much debate, there are several worlds with thriving Necropolises, filled with both feral and non-feral Undead and their terrified neighbors.
Magic: Under the empire, magic was rationalized into the science of Symbology, which flourished and became widespread. Although most practitioners approach Symbology as they would any other science, there are tales of backward worlds where powerful wizards lord over ignorant populaces.
Utopian: In the wake of the empire, several worlds prospered greatly, and now live in Utopia-like city-states on their respective planets. They seek to spread their light to and ever darkening universe.
Dystopia: For some worlds, the end of the empire wrought only more chaos and many worlds were all but destroyed. The survivors hiding in underground cities, they emerged to find only lawless wasteland. These hardy people seek to tame this unforgiving landscape and take back their homes.
Under-developed worlds: Many planets slid even further back and now mirror ancient eras in Earths history. -
Sounds cool, they could finally include Sparkblade then.

SMERSH! OMG YOU'RE BACK!
Sorry for that, I just missed your posts, they were always a source of great enjoyment... -
So, I've had an idea bopping around in my head for a little while for a themed SG or Coalition, and it kinda goes something like this:
Story: In the distant future, humanity expands throughout the cosmos and begins colonizing hundreds of planets, ruled by an immortal God-Emperor, this vast empire enjoys a tense era of peace. That is, until the excesses of the Emperor inspire a rebellion that sparks a war. Finally, after Millennia under his iron heel, the people trap the Emperor in a pocket universe. The people then quickly form the United Systems Alliance and enjoy 200 years of peace on their independent, but united planets. Until war and unrest threaten the solidarity of the Alliance. People everywhere are frightened, and with the possibility of open war between the planets, there are even whispers of the old emperors return. As the last hope of your people, YOU have been chosen to journey to the distant past, to claim allies for the coming conflict, or to ensure victory by any means necessary.
Summary: The idea was to create a back story that opens up another universe of possibilities, I enjoy making homage-characters to popular series, and I thought this would be the perfect way to implement some of my theme characters, while getting to see all the great theme or non-theme characters that other people come up with as well. The idea is anyone can join, make a character and planet that they hail from, and just jump right in.
Why make a themed character?: I enjoy a character with a set theme, I find it easier to play and get involved with his development. And, if I want to RP, I have a ready-made character. -

If Shawn Kougi still plays I would recommend him. And no, I don't think he charges either, but it's been a while, so who knows...

For the love of God, don't do it!

I just rolled a Katana/Regen Scrapper based on Fenris from DA2! Had a lot of fun RPing/Teaming in Praetoria with Arathen! Got to lvl 6, woot!
I usually base my characters on other games in some form or another. It adds a little depth to the character that he's not another Crey or Praetorian or Mender or whatnot.
I'll be in Praetoria for 14 more lvls, so bring your lowbies by!
All non Praetorians can access Praetoria in Pocket D, no matter what lvl. -
So I'm trying desperately to get back into to CoX, but I'm having trouble finding an interesting group to hang out with. I like to team, casual RP, do costume contests as well as anything else that catches my fancy. I don't like to run a lot of TFs, but I'm not adverse to the idea if that's what's going on. I'm also looking to roll a new character, but I don't want to be the only lvl 1 in Atlas. So if I looking interesting send me a PM in the forums or leave a comment below.
