Byrd, Sensei, if you guys want me to edit that last Sabretooth post just say so.
Could you edit it so that Danny gets up and kicks everyone's ass? That'd be nice.
But no, seriously, that was a very cool post. It'll be awesome to try and work our way through this little dilemma :word:

Finally have an Internet connection again, so expect a Hulk post up tomorrow, hopefully, depending on how well my call with Air Canada goes when I wake up and mentally prepare myself to be put on hold for hours (they lost my luggage with a number of very expensive things), and how long it takes. For now, though, I'm just going to copy & paste my sample post; but expect a real post up later tomorrow (probably in the evening).

“This isn’t working.” Jamie says as he creates more dupes to send into the fight.
“Yeah, you’re getting thrown all over the place.”
Jamie gives Layla a sarcastic glance.
“Then why don’t you go know him to death.”
That exchange made me laugh out loud :woot:

Two things:
1. To all my Avengers buddies, isn't it about time we picked a chairperson?
2. It would be awesome if somebody picked up Fisk.
Keyser Soze
03-01-2009, 07:16 AM
1. I assumed it was Iron Man since we're in Stark Tower, but perhaps an officially assigned leader would be good to have.
2. I would like to see someone pick up Fisk too. But up until then, he will be heavily NPCed by Electro UK and myself as part of our current arc.

MRG Continuity question. Everything takes place sometime after House of M, but the current Avengers are obviously not the same Avengers. Has it been stated what became of the New Avengers that were in place as of the House of M? I know Luke, Spidey, Captain America, and maybe others have shown up but what happened to the Avengers of that time?

Spidercide's in my story and he's a clone of Parker. There's going to be a slight mention about it in my next post so I wanted to get it straight. It shouldn't be anything that influences the real Spidey though.

SuperFerret
03-02-2009, 12:32 AM
Not sure, but bk's been using them in his Thor arc. I just used one (with permission) as a crossover arc, to show that they're everywhere. Plus, I liked the story idea.
JewishHobbit
03-02-2009, 12:40 AM
I see. Thanks.
Also... in regards to my Madrox storyline. I'm torn on two outcomes for this storyline and either way is going to be pretty big. Just so everyone knows it'll be big enough to where if any of you want to (at the time) you can all get a piece of some major action. If anyone wants to team up or at least tie their stories in previous to that just PM me. I'm always up to team ups.

Okay guys... new post is up. I kinda felt like my story was dragging so I jumped it up 3 weeks. My original plan was to have Jamie jumping all over the place for Sinister facing various villains from the Marvel Universe finding little clues as to who is behind it all and why, but I felt that THAT would drag it on even further, so I jumped ahead and reveal the villain now.
Question for all... would you guys be okay if a massive problem suddenly flooded New York causing all kinds of havoc?

It'd be awesome to see you back. Just so you know, this season marked a reboot for the game. The game was dying under the old continuity, so we've started with a new Season 1 - following a post House of M/pre Civil War continuity - and have seen a big spike in activity as a result. We're back to basics in terms of story now, so jumping on should be easy.

Unfortunately this arc was intended differantly, but due to my being a late addition I didn't realize some other storylines that were going on made my story irrellevant, so I've had to change gears. So it's not as thought out as before, hopefully just fun.

Okay, unexpected guests. My friend, along with his wife and 2 kids, have gotten booted from their home (stupid economy) and so we're bringing them into our spare bedroom for a few months. They have to be out by Saturday at noon so I'm going to be spending the next few days getting ready for them to show up, then helping them get in here as well, so I obviously won't have time to post much. I'll try to get at least one more up tomorrow before work but we'll see. If I vanish for a few days, that's where I've been.

Okay guys, for anyone in New York (which should be just about everyone) the new Madrox post is up and it's ending could really influence a lot of people. It's up to you how you want to play it. My original idea needing to be scrapped, I thought of this and thought... why not? So if anyone wants to jump in, go for it. I have no set future plans so it's open how you guys want to play it. Bring in any character or alternate character you feel would be fun to play with or fight, or if no one wants to play along then I'll find some way to fix it quickly, or I can keep it going the rest of the season... up to you guys. I just thought this would create a fun playing field for everyone to experiment with.
note: the two characters shown in the end were just examples of what's coming through. They're aren't necessarilly there for any more reason than that. Use them if you want, or not... up to whoever feels like following up on it. Heroes or villains... I'm just curious to see what comes of this. Hopefully you guys are cool with it.

Buy the way guys... I have no set plans in mind with this alternate reality arc, so go wherever you want with it. I don't even have any plans on how to end it. So have fun.
Also, I'm completely cool with anyone bunnying me. If someone wants to move a story along and need me to do it and I'm not on... bunny away. A friends' family moved in with us this weekend so we're pretty busy cleaning, preparing, unpacking, etc. So I may be a bit slow moving for a few days. Plus, I through my back out... so sitting in a chair for long periods of time kinda sucks.

03-11-2009, 07:00 AM
FYI Avengers the N'Garai we are facing (and any N'Garai summoned by an Ifrit for that matter) are not your standard X-men fighting N'Garai. They are elders far more powerful than their younger counterparts.
Also just a reminder for everyone an Ifrit (despite any appearances to the contrary) is a universal threat. Each single Ifrit is more than a match for Odinpowered Thor and the only thing keeping us alive is the rules set by the LT that forbid the Ifrit from battling us directly (and vice versa) hence the empowering of mortals and the summoning of N'Garai.
Just thought people might need reminders :)

Sorry to those I was, or had plans on, writing with. To JH and the others in the Madrox story; you can either NPC Magneto or, rather, just have him take his leave.
I'll have a new application, perhaps two, up later.
JewishHobbit

I'm actually getting slim on time myself and kinda want to drop Madrox so I can focus on the other stuff I have going on but I don't want to leave the story I've started opened. I figure I'll start working toward concluding my part of it and then I'll probably be quitting too. I knew my time would be tight but I at least got to put some stories into play.
As for the alternate realities storyline... I'll leave it up to you guys. When I conclude it (or anyone really, I have no plans at the moment) do we want all the alternate characters sent back or leave them in the main 616? There could be some interesting stories that could include some alternate characters. Plus, if anyone wants to play as an alternate version of a character then this could give them that chance.
Let me know what you guys think and I'll play accordingly.

Character you would like to play: The Hood
Powers: The Hood, true identity unknown, wears a cloak that endows him with several magical abilities. He can, among other things, levitate, become invisible as well as fire an unknown type of electrical energy from his hands. Aside from this, The Hood is an expert marksman, wielding dual pistols with surgeon-like precision.
Three reasons why you have chosen that character:
1. I have some interesting plans. Innnnnteresting plans.
2. I've always found the Hood cool, and I want to try my hand at him.
3. I'm going to establish the Hood as a massive threat for the greater MU.
Write two complete sentences using proper English grammar explaining what you think you can bring to the RPG: I'm going to bring an enthusiastic player. And also, tweeeests.
How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: Probably once every couple of days, but when I'm interacting, a few times a day.
Do you know how to post pictures on the hype boards:

Genius level intelligence. Accelerated healing factor, razor sharp claws and teeth

2. The chance to play an X-Man in the early days after M-Day should be fun.

Please provide a sample post in the style that you plan to write your character in (must be at least 3 paragraphs long and contain at least 1 line of dialogue):
From The Notes of Dr. Henry McCoy
March 16th M-Day Plus 180
My research has taken a positive turn. While comparing the X-Gene of a mutant unharmed by the events of "M-Day" (Subject #3456) and the X-Gene of a mutant affected by the events (Subject #7788), I noticed something rather interesting. The chromosomes appear to be frayed on the end of the mutant affected. Could this possibly a burn-out due to Scarlet Witch's cry of "No more mutants"? Does this mean that, with time, the chromosomes shall repair themselves and send the mutant population thriving once again?
Whatever the reason for the cause, I shall continue to investigate further over what exactly caused the decrease in the mutant population, and how to reverse it.
I must figure out exactly why. If not for science, but for my fellow mutants.

Henry.
I pause from reading my book as I sit in my laboratory.
"Yes, Charles?"
I require your assistance with Cerebro.
"What's wrong, now? Don't tell me you have your head stuck in it again..." I chuckle to myself as I place my book aside and remove my lab coat.
I'm afraid it's something else, Henry. Cerebro is picking up a reading of a mutant in Europe.
"Interesting...what is so unusual about it?"
It's a fetus.
"Do you mean?"
Yes, I believe we've found the first child to be born after M-Day and with it...
"The secret to solving the whole thing..."
I'm close to being on all fours as I leap out of my lab and race down the hallways to Charles' Cerebro chamber.

Please provide a sample post in the style that you plan to write your character in (must be at least 3 paragraphs long and contain at least 1 line of dialogue):
Somewhere Else:
Dr. Stephen Strange drifted through the Astral Plane. He had been away from the Prime Plane (i.e. Earth) for only a few weeks, but had begun to feel homesick. Odd , he thought, I have strayed from Earth for much longer than this, and I have never before felt such an overwhelming need to return.
"Perhaps I should return," he said aloud, though within the Astral landscape he made no sound, "lest something terrible happened in my absence."
With that, Stephen Strange began to make his way back to his home plane.

Matt Murdock
03-17-2009, 09:51 AM
MARVEL RPG Application
Screen Name: Matt Murdock
Character you would like to play: Daredevil - The Man Without Fear
Powers: Murdock was blinded as a youth when his eyes came into contact with high levels of radioactive waste. The waste essentially "short-circuited" his optic nerve, permanently blinding the boy. However, his other four senses (touch, taste, smell, and hearing for those of you who didn't pass fourth grade the first few times) function at unparalleled levels. The muscles in his body grew stronger, giving him strength and agility comparable to that of an Olympic grade athlete. His sense of smell was heightened to primal levels, allowing him to track people and gain perceptions of the world around him that others couldn't imagine. His sense of taste was made more acute, granting him the ability to feel subtle changes in temperature. Lastly, Murdock's sense of hearing has given him superhuman balance. He can climb across any surface and, while hearing wind currents, can "see" the events happening before him using echolocation.
Three reasons why you have chosen that character:
1. Daredevil is a really compelling character. He's fun to play as and fun to write.
2. Daredevil somewhat stereotypical. He's a character whose father was taken from him and, as a result, he fights crime on a day to day basis. In that way, he's Marvel's equivalent of Batman. And, what's more, as tempting as it may be to pick up a psychotic villain, or a character who is somewhat "off the beaten path," Matthew is interesting to me in that I can pick him up and just keep the stories simple.
3. The issue of Matthew's faith will often come up in the stories I write. As an atheist, I think I can bring a unique perspective on the character's hesitation to immerse his vigilante alter ego into his faith.
Write two complete sentences using proper English grammar explaining what you think you can bring to the RPG: I can bring a good writer with plenty of experience. I can also bring pictures of adorable animals that I will post at random intervals in the OOC thread.
How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: Twice.
Please provide a sample post in the style that you plan to write your character in (must be at least 3 paragraphs long and contain at least 1 line of dialogue):
Daredevil
The Man Without Fear
Sight, sound, taste, touch, and smell. These are the five senses of the human body; these are the five tools which human beings have been given by Mother Nature and natural selection to help them survive in this chaotic, unforgiving world. Five basic abilities built into the human genome, all of which are critical for survival.
Matthew Michael Murdock lacks one of them: sight. At a young age, he lost his ability to see in a freak encounter with radioactive waste. Nurtured by his alcoholic father, Murdock learned that, in life, things aren't always easy, and the world isn't always kind.
His father taught him to be fearless; to never stop fighting for what he wanted or believed in. His brashness and quick temper earned Matthew the name "Daredevil" when he was ridiculed by his classmates.
The name stuck.
Now, in adulthood, Murdock lurks in the shadows of his neighborhood, trying to reconcile the life he leads as The Man Without Fear with the one he's slowly leaving behind as Matthew Murdock.
No matter what happens in his life, though, Matt Murdock will always be a watchful protector of the people of Hell's Kitchen; inspiring the people to fight their way out of the darkness they live in each day. To an extent, he'd done so... he's helped people back into the light. If for no other reason than because they know that when they set foot out of their homes and apartments, they're safe. They're watched by a silent, guardian Devil. A man without fear, boundaries, or limits when it comes to protecting his people.

MARVEL RPG SEASON VII Application
Screen Name: Eddie Brock
Character you would like to play: Steve Rogers aka Captain America
Powers: As a result of the Super-Soldier Serum, Steve Rogers' strength and stamina were heightened to the peak of human potential. He possesses uncanny awareness of his environment, often using it (along with his shield) against his opponents.
Three reasons why you have chosen that character:
1. I've never played Captain America, but I've always wanted to. I mean, c'mon! He's Captain America!
2. I was looking for an "in" in this RPG, and what better way than the Avengers? I know I'm not a regular around here, but I promise I will do my best.
3. There are few things in this world more interesting to me than Captain America in the modern day. America's image is so tarnished that it makes you wonder how Cap would operate.
Write two complete sentences using proper English grammar explaining what you think you can bring to the RPG: As I said, I've only played short stints in this particular RPG, but those who have played with me can attest that I'm enthusiast and consistent. I genuinely try to improve post by post, and with the right character, I truly believe I can.
How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: As many as are needed of me.
Please provide a sample post in the style that you plan to write your character in (must be at least 3 paragraphs long and contain at least 1 line of dialogue):
1944 - Normandy
The tiny beads of water splash on my face, stinging my skin. I clench my teeth and squint into the night sky. In the distance, the sun has just begun to rise over France. It won't be up before we hit the beach. Scratching my chin, I notice the five-o-clock shadow I've been growing. It seems like forever since I've had a clean shower and a warm shower. My outfit is grimy and sodden. The once brilliant blues and reds are now just ghosts of what they used to be. Even they have been hardened by this godforsaken war.
I look at my men. Some are silent, others twitchy. One soldier is puking over the starboard side of the boat. My eyes are drawn to another soldier, desperately clutching a rosary. I linger on him for a while before looking to my immediate right at Bucky. He's so quiet. It's not like him. He doesn't even acknowledge me. He just stares straight ahead.
The salty air is rifled with the smell of urine. The silent is only interrupted by the deep, powder-filled coughs of anxious men. They have every right to be. When we hit the shore, half of 'em are dead. Bang. Just like that. The thought makes me clutch onto my shield. I've never lost a man in my company. Never. Often, I joke with Bucky that it's the only reason he's still alive. But this morning is not one for jokes.
"I hope you boys came ready to kill some Krauts today," I remark solemnly. In the approaching distance, the first shots ring out.

Hey guys...this looks pretty interesting. I might turn in an application tomorrow, after I get a look at what's what. I did notice on the first page, it looked like everyone and their character wasn't named, like JH having Madrox. (Or, maybe I'm just blind.)
I do have a question: Is the goal of the thing to interact with the other stories, or do you just have your own adventure, and if you feel like showing up in other ones...or someone gets into yours, it can happen.
Byrd Man
03-17-2009, 08:16 PM
The roster does need updating.
But yeah, the point of this thing is to have fun. Tell your stories the way you want to. You can get as many people involved in a storyline as you want, or you can solo it. The choice is up to you! Oh, and make sure nobody gets peeved if you use their character without their permission.
Phaedrus45
03-17-2009, 09:56 PM
I have another question. When I choose a character and they interact with secondary characters...those not picked by other people....should I ensure nothing has been done with them previously?
For example, if I choose Kitty Pryde and I want her to interact with Colossus, should I make sure Colossus isn't involved in a current storyline...or for some reason, hasn't been killed off?
Oh, and is this thing indefinite? I noticed there were previous seasons...is there a forseeable end>

Yeah, you want to make sure a character you plan on using isn't tied up in another storyline, dead, or away for whatever reason.
Also, the game will keep on going until it dies. It almost died before, but a reboot sparked interest and brought it back to life. So, right now there is no forseeable end, just like the comics.

(What sucks is that the current Hulk storyline has my idea, that I think I wrote about in one of the Hype threads a few years back.) Oh, but using Colossus would be alright. I was thinking about using him; but, I can tweak the story in various directions.

MARVEL RPG SEASON VII Application For New Players
Screen Name: Phaedrus45
Character you would like to play: Kitty Pryde
Powers: Intangibility (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_comic_book_superpowers#Intangibility_or_ph asing)
Three reasons why you have chosen that character:
1. She fits perfectly into a storyline idea I've had for the last four years.
2. In the early 80's, she was my favorite X-Men character. Sadly, since the 90's, many of her adventures and characterizations have been badly written.
3. With the storyline, it's essential to have a character who's dealt with the death of loved-ones.
Write two complete sentences using proper English grammar explaining what you think you can bring to the RPG: I'm pretty dedicated to the threads in which I post. I don't pop up in every one; but, my dedication can be seen in the Contest Of Marvels Tournaments.
How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: On weekdays, I can post quite frequently in the mornings and afternoons. Weekends and evenings won't be as frequent, because my children come first. I will admit at times I might have my eggs in too many baskets, as we've just started the new season of CoM; but, I've noticed I still have quite a bit of time on my hands.
Please provide a sample post in the style that you plan to write your character in (must be at least 3 paragraphs long and contain at least 1 line of dialogue):
The graveyard was not immaculate or grandeous in any way. It would be considered quite small by many people's standards; yet, it seemed much too large for those who frequented it. It was well-kept, none of the flowers left beside the tombstones wilting away to nothing; and, like today, was visited often. It was a place for rememberance. Quite a few of the graves didn't even house any remains; for, in this line of work, many times a body is unable to be found. Also, families preferred to have their loved ones brought home; and, this was just a means to grieve and remember those lost to a much larger family.
"I miss you so much," the young gal said. On her knees, she wasn't talking to just one tombstone. She had lost too many loved ones: Banshee, Jay Guthrie, Moira MacTaggert, Madelyne Pryor, Jean Grey. But, today as with most days, her focus was on two of her greatest friends: Illyana Rasputin and Douglas Ramsey.
"No matter how much times passes, the pain never eases. Why must so many of our enemies continue to come back, time after time again, yet you two...ones I love the most...still are lost to me."
Kitty remembered how excited she was when she first joined the X-Men. It wasn't the foes of the X-Men that frightened her; it was some of the newer members, namely Wolverine and Nightcrawler. It was here she had her first crush, Colossus. It was here she had her heart broken....same guy. She never counted on the loss. Heck, when Jean died, it felt like the rarest of things. Heroes never died!
Kitty didn't notice at first the figure behind her. He appeared out of nowhere; but, after all the years of fighting so many villians, or being hunted by those who hated you simply for the fact you're born different than them, you develop an almost sixth sense when something is out of place. Becoming intangible, she quickly turned around, posed to strike...or flee, if it seemed the better of the two options.
Whoever she expected to find, this wasn't even on the list of possibilities. Hell, she was even left out of the first War! It was because of this bastard that her life, the personal one that could have been so different...that could have been filled with love...was thrown into upheaval so many years ago. She's thought...NO! She's DREAMED of what could have been if not for this man!!!
"YOU SON OF A *****!" she screamed.
With a wave of his hand, she froze solid. He simply said, "forgive me, child; but, I'm here to bestow on you your greatest wish. It's just up to you how badly you want it."
Do you know how to post pictures on the hype boards:

Hey Watchman... was that last Iron Man post refering to something ealier when Tony recognzied the 18 year old and said "It was you..."? I'm just curious. Should we know who that was or are you building to it? I've only read about 12 to 14 issues of Iron Man my whole life (and his stuff in the Avengers comics post Disassembled) so I'm not familiar with any of his adversaries or past adventures. I remember something about a young version of himself taking over but I don't know the actual story, curious if that has something to do with it.
Also, will you need help in any way? Now that Jamie's laid out his plan to fixing the alternate reality issue, he can't really do much toward building the machine so him and his little squadron of random heroes are free to help out if needed.

The timeline for this rpg starts shortly after House of M, so Kitty is still with the X-Men and perfectly fine. You may want to check some previous X-Men storylines though to see what's been done with them so you can write accordingly. Being a late comer myself someone else may want to fill you in.
However, some big things going on right now just so you know... someone (Red Skull I think) has placed a bounty on the head of superheros. There's certain prices per groupings and X-Men are one of those groupings (you can find the post on the first page or two of the in character thread) so that's still going on. And currently Madrox's story has unleashed a ton of alternate realities on New York so there's chaos amongst the confusion as parts of new york are transforming to the Age of Apocalypse, 2099, etc. and their characters are running amok in confusion (including people like Maestro, Fallen from Mutant X, Apocalypse from the AoA, and probably a hundred others). Madrox, Loki, and Magneto are working on correcting the problem though, so that will be over soon.
Oh, and aparently Sabretooth is a major crime lord.

Anyway, could some of you tell me of characters that are being used...maybe some that have been killed, like American Eagle.
I see Mystique is being used at the beginning of the main thread. Is she still being used? (Heck, is she still alive???)
Here are some other characters that I'm have on my mind, that I would like to know if anything has happened to them:
Cassie Lang
Rogue
Colossus
Namor
Punisher
Jubilee
Thunderstrike's son in the Spider-Girl world
Warpath
Swordsman
Abomination
Cannonball
That's some names that come to mind right now; I know someone has an interest in Colossus; so, if you are, just let me know. Also, anyone else with people on this list, let me know.
Thanks, guys!

Nothing has happend with Kitty as far as I know.
And one thing that might help you out from now on. With Kitty's speech. Try to color code it like everyone else does. It helps tell the difference between characters if you have a good many of them in the same scene.

Thanks, Byrd. I've been noticing that in the posts you guys make. It sure makes it a lot easier to read, like you said.

Yeah, there are enough clues that it's not that big of a mystery.
The thing that was a pain in the butt, I have so many places to go with this, that most of the night, I couldn't sleep. I found myself thinking about all the characters who've lost loved ones in the MU...who to use...and, trying to think of bad guys who have lost people too. (I had a great idea with Red Skull; but, he's in that big storyline right now.) Anyway, if I wasn't thinking about it, I found myself dreaming of thinking about it. Finally, I had to get up at 2:00 AM, and I watched a movie, called "Happy-Go-Lucky" for a couple hours.
Now, I'm tired, though.

Thanks again, Byrd. BTW, Gallagher did use Beast for a while in his early posts. He was one of the X-Men thinking Magneto taking care of the children at the mansion might not be that bad of an idea. (I'm only on page 8, though; but, I haven't seen Beast mentioned for a while now.)
As for Mystique...it would seem she was last seen in a forest, right after Magneto killed off Avalanche. Luckily for me, he let her live.

MARVEL RPG SEASON VII Application For New Players
Screen Name: Thor Odinson
Character you would like to play: Hercules
Powers: Hercules possesses the typical powers of an Olympian, including superhuman speed, durability, and reflexes. His primary power is his superhuman physical strength; Hercules is physically the strongest of all Olympians. His strength is sufficient to hurl a giant Sequoia tree, drag the island of Manhattan back into place,[42] and preventing a gigantic fissure from ripping it apart.[43] While the limits of Hercules' strength have never been measured, he has been strong enough to stand toe to toe with Thor and the Hulk.[3][44] The former once stated that Hercules possesses superior mettle in unarmed combat.[45]
At one time, Hercules had been punished by Zeus, a punishment marked by a "lightning bolt" tattoo on Hercules's shoulder. As a result, Hercules' powers, particularly his strength and immortality, were weakened considerably. However, in the recent Ares limited series, Hercules is shown fighting on behalf of Olympus with Zeus' blessing, and it has been officially stated that his full strength and godly attributes are restored to their usual levels.[46]
At his full power, Hercules is functionally immortal, as are all Olympians, being immune to all known diseases, and his godly life force renders him capable of recovering from any conventional injury that does not severely dismember or disintegrate his body, but this was reduced at the time of Zeus's punishment.[47] Hercules is immensely resistant to physical injury and has withstood the impact of high caliber machine gun shells, falls from tremendous heights, exposure to temperature extremes and powerful energy blasts without sustaining injury. It took two point-blank blasts from the god Michael Korvac to bring Hercules to the point of death.[48] Similarly, Hercules proved able to survive a vicious ambush from several superhumanly strong supervillains, including Goliath, the Wrecking Crew and Mister Hyde, despite being severely drunk at the time, although he fell into a coma from the damage.[49]
Hercules is an accomplished boxer and Greco-Roman wrestler. He is highly skilled with all forms of weaponry used in ancient Greece as well as the unarmed art of Pankration, which he is reputed to have created. His weapon of choice is his enchanted Adamantine "Golden Mace," forged by Hephaestus, the blacksmith of the gods. The mace is known to be as durable as Thor's mystical Uru hammer, Mjolnir,[3] and to strike with equivalent force.[50] He is an extraordinarily gifted archer, as well as an extraordinary hand-to-hand combatant. He was educated by tutors employed by his foster father, Amphitryon.
Before attaining godhood, Hercules employed arrows dipped in the lethal blood of the Lernaean Hydra, and wore the virtually indestructible hide of the Nemean Lion. Hercules sometimes rides about on chariot built by Hephaestus, which is drawn by enchanted Olympian horses which can fly through space and into other dimensions.
Three reasons why you have chosen that character:
1. He is similar to Thor.
2. i like The Incredible Herc Seires.
3. He is an interesting character esspecially with Amadeus Cho.
Write two complete sentences using proper English grammar explaining what you think you can bring to the RPG:
I will be A Hercules who is a little Bad-ass but is Trying hard to be a "nice" hero. The witty banter between him and Cho will never Cease!
How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG:
1
Please provide a sample post in the style that you plan to write your character in (must be at least 3 paragraphs long and contain at least 1 line of dialogue):
At Thee! I screamed as I charged at mine Brother, Ares.
"Ha!" He retorted "Did Thy Think Thy Could defeat me with brute Force? I Art Ares God of war! And with that comes knowledge of every strategy known to mortals and gods alike!!"
He took a poison spear and jabbed it in mine side. I was wound'd! But i did fight on...
I Am Hercules i shouted I survived Hades Itself! - And that was when i was a Mortal. Now, I am a God! -Did Thy really think thy could Take me out with that spear?
I Took my mace and I Smashed Ares's head open-
but then I awoke. I was in bed, in mine room, In Avengers mansion [OOC question: In HVV do the avengers have the mansion or the tower? Given the fact that Steve Rogers is still alive i'm inclined to go with the mansion. anyhow Getting back in charachter....]
How I wished That Dream was Real! How i wished that I could wipe The Smirk off Ares's face. Ever since he rebeled Against Father Zeus (like Loki did against Odin) I have yearned to bring him back too Olympus for Justice. but i must stay here and be an Avenger, For thus did i swear to Thor:
That i would be an Avenger for the next year, A year which Father Zeus hath Banished me from Olympus because of a misunderstanding. And that I should Not hunt ares Down rather I should wait. Why did Thor want me so much, thy might ask? Because Tony Stark (Iron Man) had heard from that villian he fights the mandarin- yea, He heard thus From The Mandarin:
That Ares will soon strike Earth. And That we should be ready- Thor wanted Me at the Avengers side, for my expertise with Ares.
Like a fool I agreed to enter into a most sacred oath with Thor -on the River Styx that even Father Zeus would not dare break. But How I wish to Hunt Ares and Strike Him! I am Tired of waiting And i shall not do so any longer.
I Get up from my bed and go unto Thor.
"I weary of this Waiting. Please Pardon me for breaking the most sacred oath I hath made to thee.......

- Use quotation marks "" when writing dialogue.

Thanks, JH. I still get pissed at Bendis for that Beyonder story.
Anyway, one of the rules is you cannot apply for such a vastly powerful character, like Beyonder, I think. Plus, Beyonder will go by the wayside very soon. He's just a means to an end.

Ok, I have finished the opening sequence of my storyline. I will say I have no idea who will end up winning the contest; and, if anyone wants to get involved, I have no problem with that. If someone just wants to pop in, kill off some character and be done with it, that's cool too. (I've left it open to who all the characters on the island are, only naming about 10, I think; the only prerequisite is they have to be someone who hasn't really achieved the fullest extent of their powers and someone who has suffered a great loss in their past.)
Also, as any characters I am using will return to normal after all is done and finished; feel free to use anyone I mention in other storylines in this thread. (Just know, what happens during the contest won't be determined for a while; so, they might have someone from their past return to life.)
............................
Originally, I planned to use a few heavy hitters; but, most of those characters are taken. Then, the idea of "not achieving the fullest potential of your powers" occurred to me. That left it wide open to really scour the B-list of the Marvel Universe and learn a bit more about characters I didn't know about. (For example, the Kraven the Hunter portion wasn't that known to me. I didn't remember he was a mutant, and completely forgot about the whole "Beyond" storyline he was involved in.) Also, I was originally planning on a major villian being Red Skull, cause I thought he'd try and bring back Hitler. Now, I'm thinking Kraven can be made really, really interesting, especially since I had Beyonder turn him over to his wild side immediately.
.............................
Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy reading it. Like I said when applying to the Heroes Vs. Villians RPG, I hated that something similiar is currently happening in Hulk; but, oh well.
........................
EDIT: Oh, and after next week, I'm on vacation with my family! I might try and get a laptop to try and get something in during my sparetime; but, not too sure about that. I'll be gone for a full week; and, the day after I get back is Seattle's ComicCon.

Character you would like to play: Molten Man (Mark Raxton)
Powers and abilities: The Molten Man has superhuman strength, endurance and durability along with some interesting applications of fire. He's also a bit of a genius.
Three reasons why you have chosen that character:
1. Okay, basically, I've got three things going on with the supervillains right now. Plot A got started with the Taskmaster. Plot B got started with Batroc. Plot C, or rather category C, as there won't be an overarching plan, starts with Molten Man.
2. What side he ends up on is always ambigious until the end. He's not really a villain anymore, but he's still from a hero.
3. He's a guy on fire.
Write two complete sentences using proper English grammar explaining what you think you can bring to the RPG: Another character that hopefully some people can relate too, or at least, are interested in reading about. Besides that, experience. Sexy experience.
How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: As many as I care to do.
Please provide a sample post in the style that you plan to write your character in (must be at least 3 paragraphs long and contain at least 1 line of dialogue):
"Was there anything you'd like to say before we decide?"
The members of the parole board looked at him, their pens in hand, forms laid out before them on the table. They were two men and a woman, all three were neatly dressed. He too was wearing a nice suit, one that didn't catch fire when touching his gold-coloured skin.
None of the members of the parole board seemed particularly uncomfortable in dealing with him, a man with 'powers'.
"I am the Molten Man," he finally started. "That's a part of me that's never going away. He's who I am when I look into the mirror, when I put on this suit, when I try to play a game of ball with my nephew. He is who I am when I dream at night. I can never escape him."
The man looked from one member of the board to the other, each meeting their eyes.
"But I'm also Mark Raxton, scientist, brother and hopefully, some day, family man. I've done good things. I've done bad things. A lot of bad things.But I'm ready to move on, to be free."
"To be more than just the Molten Man."

MARVEL RPG SEASON VII Application For New Players
Screen Name: Belvedere
Character you would like to play: Helmut Zemo, 13th Baron Zemo
Powers: After the "Born Better" miniseries Helmut no longer posesses the moonstones (I'm not entirely sure whereabouts the continuity of this RPG starts, however). Zemo's incredibly intellectual with good tactical and leadership skills, he is also well trained in hand to hand skills however mainly relies on the large wealth of technology in his posession.
Three reasons why you have chosen that character:
1. Helmut's an interesting character - he's still trying to find out who he is, his father taught him that Zemo's were superior to everybody else because of who they were and for a long time he believed that. But last time we saw him he had begun to question that, it's a great place to pick up the character.
2. I think everybody can sympathize with Zemo slightly, despite the fact he has and probably will continue to do terrible things to get his own way, everyone comes to a point in their life when they start to question who they are. Helmut decides his own role in life - at times he can be the brilliant tactician that's saving the world, at others the supervillain that's endangering it because of his own short-sightedness.
3. He rocks the pink mask like it's going out of style. Heck, he might think he's better than every single human being on the face of the planet who doesn't have Zemo blood running through their veins, but he's a modern man - you've got to give him that.
Write two complete sentences using proper English grammar explaining what you think you can bring to the RPG: I believe I can bring to this RPG a very human character in Zemo, like alot of us he's still trying to figure out who he is. I also hope I can bring some fairly entertaining and well-written (minus a few cases of comma-splicing every now and then) storylines.
How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: 0.5
Please provide a sample post in the style that you plan to write your character in (must be at least 3 paragraphs long and contain at least 1 line of dialogue):
I am Helmut Zemo, Baron Zemo XIII.
The Zemo bloodline was something my father took much pride in and attempted to instill within me the same pride. Our bloodline lived very much up to it's namesake for much blood had been shed over the title that came before my name - I am sure long after I am gone the violence will continue.
A book with little meaning to me once said "the sins of the father shall be visited upon the sons" and like many sons I am still paying for my father's. However not many sons had fathers like mine: Heinrich Zemo - Nazi war criminal, sworn enemy of Captain America.
I know now what I have to do to free myself of the shackles which have held my prisoner my entire life, but it will not be easy.

MARVEL RPG SEASON VII Application For Veterans
Screen Name: SenseiofCheese
Character you would like to play: Patrick Mulligan / Toxin
Powers: Toxin, the symbiote offspring of Carnage, possesses the abilities of his two predecessors; He can stick to walls, can change shape into a different person, and also has unlimited webbing, which takes on a shape of thick red and blue tendrils.Toxin can also blend in with his surroundings extremely effectively, and he can form solid weapons from his limbs like his father. Toxin also has a healing factor like his predecessors. Unlike the others, Toxin can track anyone, not just other symbiotes, as long as he has something to pick up a scent. Another difference is that Toxin, while dependent upon it's host, does not appear to have bonded with him. In fact, Toxin and Patrick Mulligan will often converse while in their human form. He has also been shown to overpower Venom and Carnage, both at once.
Three reasons why you have chosen that character:
1. He's a criminally underrated character.
2. The powers of Venom and Carnage, murderous in their nature, but with the mind of a child behind it. It'll be interesting to get into.
3. I look forward to writing the constant struggle between Toxin's primal urges and Patrick's moral fortitude.
Write two complete sentences using proper English grammar explaining what you think you can bring to this RPG in particular:

To be honest, I agree. I've always felt a sample post should be mandatory. However, when one is given the choice between doing one and NOT doing one, more often than not, my laziness will win out. I'll throw together a quick sample now.

Toxin sample post:
"No."
"I said no."
My hands are buried deep in my coat pockets and I'm walking down a dark alley, in a dark city full of dark things. It's a street I wouldn't advise anyone to go down alone, and even I would have thought twice about coming here myself when I was a cop.
"You know the deal. Two hours of play time every night. You agreed to it, remember?"
Suddenly a low rumble seems to shake the buildings, as the night overhead grows even darker. I can smell it in the air before it happens; rain starts pouring down on me. It slams into me but I hardly get wet. My 'clothes' are sort of waterproof, you understand.
"Not yet."
It's a dark city full of dark things.
"Well, well, well. Looky here." a deep voice calls to me.
I turn to see a group of three large, bald-headed men slowly strolling towards me. They're all carrying weapons; a pipe, a knife and a baseball bat.
"Seems someone took a wrong turn." the thug in front chuckles, twirling the large blade between his fingers.
"I don't suppose it would help if I told you I didn't want any trouble?" I ask, fully expecting the chorus line of laughter my question receives.
"Hahaha, smart dude."
"Fine. Just don't be too rough."
The thug with the bat swings it in a circle, smiling. "Oh, you betta believed we gonna be rough."
Suddenly my clothes start to shift. It's like they come to life.

"I wasn't talking to you."
"Playtime."

Yeah, so would I to be honest.
I'm having a little trouble thinking of a way Zemo could possibly lose the moonstones though, the whole unlimited power thing's a tad annoying. :o
Maybe he stopped at a rest stop, went to wash his hands, left them laying on the counter, and when he came back, someone stole them?

So when are we going to start considering awards? Is that usually done at the end of a season? Just curious.
And I only really have maybe a post or 2 left in my Madrox story. I haven't decided if I'm going to keep going with him, drop out, or just change characters after that. I'll probably play it by ear. I wouldn't mind maybe jumping into Phaed's Beyonder storyline. It seems interesting.

Feel free to do that. I'm going to try and get a post up today; but, have to go hear my daughter sing at school today, and am leaving in a couple minutes for that. She has a dang half day! I'm so tired of how many half days and teacher conference days there are in school now. No wonder school goes until almost July! I don't remember this many days off when I went, that's for sure.

It'll be a bit if I do it. I'm not even sure if I'll keep playing yet. It depends on if I have time to keep playing. I want to, but I'll know better here shortly.

I think making the sample post optional was a huge mistake, and is a policy that should never have been put in place. It's a great tester in deciding whether or not to go through with an app. If you can't summon up the passion to do a character post for a sample in an app, how will you be able to summon it up for regular IC posting?

As long as you don't plan on beating him up and bringing down his empire, any time you want.
Quite frankly seeing as how Sabes already has one loss to Wolvie in this RPG, I do not like your chances :yay:

You're all right, it was a stupid idea on my part. I originally thought that the veteran guys didn't need to prove themselves, but then a huge heap of people joined, but no one posted. So yeah, I thought I said we were moving back to the old one a while ago. Did I not get rid of it on the first page?
Its my bad, sorry guys, I was just trying out something new that made signing up a bit more user friendly, but it obviously didn't.

No worries, Harlekin. In this storyline, the person killed goes back to the normal 616, all intact! (Kind of like the CoM.)

Hope you don't mind Banner stumbling onto the scene, Bkhedr. If this was something you wanted Thor to do alone, I can edit.
EDIT: Also, is it alright if there are one or two characters from the multiverse who weren't sucked back into the portal? I have an idea to use a version of a Hulk villain that was in one of the movies, but if that's a no-no, then I can easily forget about it.

Hey Spike I'm all for interaction and normally I wouldn't mind at all. But this actually a critical point in my story so if you could hold off for a bit (and edit the existing post) that would be great.

I wrote it so that Jamie passed out after he extended his dupe creating abilities. It's always reason to believe that the portal powered down before all the alternate reality characters were sucked back in.

Screen Name: Blacklight
Character you would like to play: Carnage (Cletus Kasady)
Powers: He has the same powers as Venom, whom of which has the same powers of Spider-Man as well as the symbiote's natural shapeshifting abilities. As a symbiote, Carnage is vulnerable to both sonics and fire.
Three reasons why you have chosen that character:
1. As his name suggests, I want to cause some bloody carnage.
2. I have plans for Carnage that'll lead into the rebirth of a dead characeter whom of which I wish to play afterwards.
3. I get to tangle with some symbiotes.
Write two complete sentences using proper English grammar explaining what you think you can bring to the RPG: A murderous psychopath that is neither green nor has eight limbs. Depth to rather 2D character.
How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: A couple
Please provide a sample post in the style that you plan to write your character in (must be at least 3 paragraphs long and contain at least 1 line of dialogue):
Too long have I gone without blood. I need to feel it's warmth on my skin again. It makes me so happy. It makes the voices go away and replaces them with bright lights... Like Christmas!! Oh I can just feel it now. It splattering all over my face as I tear into my victims. Oh it would make me such a happy camper! Want it! Need it! Gotta get it! Let's go! I am Carnage, and Spider-Man is dead. When I get through with him, of course. No need to panic, I got this. I'm Carnage, but I'm not Carnage am I? I need it back. Need the blood, need the suit. Need suit to get blood. Need it to have fun, to have blood. Fuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnnnn....... Yeeeeesssssssssssss...... Hissing is fun. Blood and hissing is FUN!!!
"Oh hey there, friend! Mind getting that for me?"
The nearby orderly ducks down to grab the apple I dropped from the tray in my hands in my cell, and that's when I take my chance to stick the plastic knife I sharpened in his brain. From there I took the keys and opened up the cell door, and made a break for it.
Hold on, Carnage, baby! Daddy Cletus is coming for ya!
Do you know how to post pictures on the hype boards:

- Isn't Carnage27 still playing Carnage? Check it with him, since I think he's playing the symbiote. Might be interesting if you just play Kletus.
- Plastic knife doesn't allow for brain-sliceage.

-Last I knew, I thought Carnage had dropped Carnage. If he didn't then I might've just 'fo-pah'ed. Although he hasn't posted in a loooong time anyways, way over two weeks.
