ULTIMATE MARVEL RPG VOL.2 SIGN-UP FORM

Screen Name: SenseiofCheese

Character you would like to play: Steve Rogers, Captain America.

Powers and a brief description of the character in proper English:
After signing up for a mysterious experimental procedure, timid Steve Rogers was injected with the Super Soldier formula. Transformed into the legendary Captain America, Rogers was an invaluable part of the Allies' victory in WW2. On his last mission, Captain America sacrificed himself for the lives of thousands, falling into the freezing Atlantic. Recently, his frozen body was found and brought back to life. Adjusting to life in the new millenium, Captain America now helps the world alongside the Ultimates, with his superhuman strength, speed, agility and stamina.

Three reasons why you have chosen that character:
1. I loved playing him for the period of time I did so.
2. I got a lot of kudos for my portrayal of Cap, so I must have been doing something right.
3. After I started playing him, Steve became somewhat of a poster boy for giving characters a chance for me. I disliked him to begin with, but I've now grown to love the guy.

What can you bring to this game? A dedicated player experienced with the character. Hopefully, plenty of badassery and a good leader for the Ultimates.

How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: I can post quite often a day when interacting with other players.

The world I fought for...the world I died for...

It's in danger once again.

It's turning into a world where gangsters can rule nations and almost rule cities, in which hotels and apartment houses and celebrated restaurants are owned by men who made their money out of brothels, in which a screen star can be the finger man for a job, and the nice man down the hall is a boss of the numbers racket; a world where a judge with a cellar full of child pornography can send a man to jail for jaywalking, where the mayor of your town may have condoned murder as an instrument of money-making, where no man can walk down a dark street in safety because law and order are things we talk about but refrain from practicing; a world where you may witness a holdup in broad daylight and see who did it, but you will fade quickly back into the crowd rather than tell anyone, because the holdup men may have friends with long guns.

A world where people have abilities. Godlike abilities that allow them to do things the most brilliant of writers could never even think of. And some of these people use these abilities to destroy. To steal. To murder.

It's a world where the American Dream is in danger each and every day.

"A world that needs Captain America."

Powers and a brief description of the character in proper English: Clint has an excellent aim that he transfers into archery and marksmanship. He was a member of the Ultimates Black Ops team until recently when he was promoted into the limelight. He has been seeing his teammate Natasha Romanova.

Three reasons why you have chosen that character:

What can you bring to this game? A character.

How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: As many as I need to.

Do you know how to post pictures on the hype boards: Yes

Provide a small sample post for your character, about 4 paragraphs with at least one line of dialouge:
Clint stood up and made his way to where Fury stood, taking his place. He looked up and the other Ultimates could see how red his eyes were and the five o'clock shadow that covered his face.

"I met Natasha on my first day at SHIELD. From what I could make out she was fairly new as well. Surrounded by veterans and hard faced men that constantly smoked cigars, we became good friends. The very best of friends. We worked together and she saved my life many times. We relied on each other to survive. She was always there if I ever needed her. I always thought I didn't. I was...wrong to say the least. She was a...she was...Natasha was beautiful. In every sense of the word, she was gorgeous. She was funny...if you knew her. She was smart, she was very very smart. And she was...she was normal. That's not something you find with the people I work. My colleagues are all World War II veterans, super genii with armour, people who can shrink or grow, the incest twins with superspeed and magic. She was the closest to normal I could, or ever would want to get. I was at the gates of hell and she was the one that brought me back," he said, and bowed his head again as tears started to fall.

"That's the thing about us mortals. We're just candles floating around in the darkness, and our flames flicker so briefly it's almost non-existant. We try so hard to make a difference and at the end of the day what have we to show for it? A lump of granite and a rotting carcus. But not you Natasha, not you. You deserve better. You always deserved better. You and I, we weren't able to move mountains with our minds or turn the world backwards but we were special. You were special. You saved me, and I will always remember you. I....I don't know how to say...words can't describe what you meant to me...what you mean to me. Sleep well Natasha...I love you, then and now. I always will," he whispered. He raised his head and forced a brief smile, chuckling falsely.

"And Thor. Well, I don't think this is the way Thor would want us marking his passing. I want it known that I voted for lots of mead and many hearty wenches, that's what I think he would've wanted. Well, Thor....what to say about him. Thor was a good man. He made me laugh. A lot. He was the team powerhouse. I honestly don't know what we're gonna do without him. However he died, however it went down - I'm sure it was for a good cause in absolute style. Rest well brother," he said, tapping the empty coffin affectionately.

[Catman_prb]

May I suggest we have a selection of the best posts from the old 'volume', like the Heroes vs Villains rpg?

[Venom160]

I don't see why not. PM me the post/posts you'd like added and I'll see to it that it'll be put up.

[Catman_prb]

Oh, I didn't really have any in mind. Just thought it might be nice...

[Mr. Marko]

What the hell?! I decided to come back to check in on things and the whole damn place fell apart!! What are the details on the reboot? Whats the cut-off? ANSWER ME!

[Venom160]

Ah I see. I'll see what I can do.

[Venom160]

What the hell?! I decided to come back to check in on things and the whole damn place fell apart!! What are the details on the reboot? Whats the cut-off? ANSWER ME!In short Uatu saw that the X-men would fall at the hands of Onslaught and the other heroes would be slaughtered before they would be able to muster a counterattack. Uatu, not bearing the sight of his beloved Earth destroyed, uses what power he had left to revert most of the ugly past that lead to this disaster. The new cut off points are:

USM: Post Clone Saga
UXM: Magnetic North + The Apoc arc and Cable arc from the previous vol.
UFF: Frightful
Ultimates: Gods and Monsters.

[Mr. Marko]

I'm assuming its the RPG's clone saga and not USM's clone saga. What's the state of the T-Bolts?

[Venom160]

Actually we decided on going with the comic's Clone Saga. As for the Thunderbolts they were sadly a victim of the reboot. Though if you want to keep them a team I'm sure we can work something out.

[Mr. Marko]

Hmm...interesting.

[Venom160]

ULTIMATE MARVEL RPG VOL.2 SIGN-UP FORM

Screen Name: Master Bruce

Character you would like to play: Ultimate Daredevil

Powers and a brief description of the character in proper English: Though blinded, Matthew Murdock's remaining senses were heightened to a superhuman degree as a result of being hit with a radioactive isotope as a child. Training himself to work with his disability, Murdock found that by combining his accute sense of hearing with his sense of touch, he could create an inner radar that would allow him to see the world around him better than he ever could with sight. Trained in gymnastics, aswell as boxing, judo, and other street level martial arts, Murdock's list of skills only grew, making him more than a formidable opponent by the time he became The Man Without Fear.

Daredevil works as a vigilante to right wrongs that the justice system can't. By day, he is a lawyer and attorney-at-law for the underprivileged. But by night, he is an unforgiving avenger, taking his clients' cases and turning them into crusades for vengeful justice. He operates primarily out of New York City's Clinton area, known better to it's locals as 'Hell's Kitchen'.

Three reasons why you have chosen that character:

1. Daredevil has always been one of my favorite characters. It seemed like a no-brainer to apply for him any time that I did before. And right now is no exception.

2. With the RPG rebooting, I have a chance to really dig into Daredevil's comic book history and pull out some of it's real gems, modernizing them for an Ultimate continuity.

3. There's honestly no character I'd rather play in this game.

What can you bring to this game? I've been reading Daredevil comics for years, so I know that I can bring a knowledge of the character's personality and skills to the table for interaction. I've also made a considerable reputation for playing slightly, if not outright psychotic characters, so I can bring a little of that into my portrayal of the character's Ultimate changes.

How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: As much as I'm permitted.

Provide a small sample post for your character, about 4 paragraphs with at least one line of dialouge:

His name is Matthew Micheal Murdock. He was born a catholic to a family with strict values and even stricter morals. His mother left him. His father was unrightfully taken from him. To add insult to injury, so was his sight. But even so, he sought out true justice, and in the process, he found love again. But circumstance and morals prevented that love from fruition. And by the end of his pain and his torture, this young man was turned into something else entirely. You could say he became a devil of a person.

"Put the girl down."

Right now, however, this devil is in quite the predicament.

It had all started a week ago, when a young beaten and battered woman stumbled into the Law Offices of Nelson and Murdock. She was frightened, scared... and Matt had picked up on that long before she was able to finally tell her story to him. She had once belonged to a religious cult of hoods within the neighborhood, and served under a man named Zebediah Killgrave, who the cult believed was the reincarnation of Christ. But when the young woman had stumbled onto a secret about Killgrave... He had ordered the cult to beat her, convincing them that she was an agent of the devil come to smite him from his ruling. The truth was, Killgrave wasn't reincarnated. He was just a greedy metahuman who had received a set of powers in a random accident, much like Matt. But unlike Matt, he used his powers to gain wealth and fortune, convincing each member of his cult to trust him with their bank accounts in return for everlasting life. The reason he had the woman beaten was to keep her too scared to tell that to the other cult members.

Of course, hearing this story this sickened Matt, and he accepted to defend the young woman in a lawsuit against Killgrave. But the case ended once the woman agreed to drop the charges. Knowing this to be odd, Matt discreetly tracked the woman down, and discovered that she had rejoined the cult which called themselves "The Purple Men". Changing from Matt Murdock into his masked vigilante identity of The Daredevil, He managed to sneak into the warehouse that The Purple Men occupied. But being spotted by one of it's members, His cover had been blown, forcing him to act in a more forceful manner. Which leads to the situation now, where Killgrave has Daredevil's former client as a hostage, with a gun to her head. Of course Daredevil can't let Killgrave murder the woman, but the one thing that separates the three is the cult itself. And picking up on their movements with his radar, Daredevil soon realizes that they're about to attack. Which isn't good, needless to say.

"No thanks,", Killgrave responds, still holding the gun. "I think I'll have them kill you instead."

For a moment, Daredevil takes this as a bluff. But it's his mistake, as The Purple Men begin to charge him. Widening his eyes, Daredevil quickly leaps into the air and fires the grapnel of his club to the ceiling, swinging above the cult as he makes a desperate attempt to attack Killgrave. But to no avail, as Daredevil feels a sharp tug at his leg. Dropping from the club, Daredevil spins, kicking the nearest Purple Man across the face and freeing himself from it's grip. Landing amongst the crowd of them, Daredevil takes his other club, and begins to fight them off, one by one. But as he does, Daredevil can't help but think uncertainty. Is this really happening?

It did seem rather out of the ordinary. A man dressed as a devil fighting a cult of religious extremists dressed in purple robes, being controlled by an evil man that they believed to be the reincarnation of Jesus Christ. As Daredevil thought about it, he realized something else. It was a bit of an irony, too. But maybe he could use this to his advantage.

"Stop!", Daredevil shouted to the attacking group. "Just think about it for a moment. He's misleading you all... Don't you understand?"

"SHUT UP!", Killgrave shouted back, angrily. "He's the one trying to mislead you, my children! For he wears the garb of Satan himself! He is most desperate to turn you against me! But do not listen to his cries of convincement, for they are the path to eternal sin! The only way to redeem thyselves is to fight this spawn of the devil back! KILL HIM!"

Daredevil gritted his teeth, as his radar begin to send him signals of the cult's continuing attack, despite his attempt to clear their minds. Well. That went nowhere.

... Epic win. :up:

Screen Name: Optikal

Character you would like to play: Sabretooth

Powers and a brief description of the character in proper English: Sabretooth had enhanced senses, and could track a target by scent alone. His wounds healed rapidly. His natural claws and fangs were later enhanced with adamantium coating, and four foot-long retractable claws were added to each arm.

Sabretooth is a mutant soldier and commando for Weapon X, under the direction of a man by the name of Colonel Wraith, who referred to him as "a poor man's Wolverine".

He appears to be the only mutant who enlisted in the program by choice, due to his high-ranking position and his high authority in the operations. He is practically the same as the Earth-616 version of Sabretooth, having accelerated healing and keen senses, with the exception that he has four adamantium claws surgically implanted in his arms in an attempt to one-up Wolverine after having many failures in the service of Weapon X.

One of the adamantium claws implanted in his left forearm is broken. Exactly how and when this occurred has not been revealed. He has a burning hatred for Wolverine and also, as he stated in his encounter with him at Weapon X, for the primitive Homo sapiens. He feels that his cruel, psychopathic nature was merely a natural part of being a mutant. When Magneto attempted to destroy the world so that he could eradicate humans, Sabretooth asked him to kill as few animals as possible.

Three reasons why you have chosen that character:
1. He's seriously bad-ass
2. There seemed to be a severe lack of villains before
3. I like big snarling men

What can you bring to this game? The enthusiasm to be a part of creating a new legacy within this RPG.

~{Wolf-Pack, this is Raven Two. Status Update?}~


Creed placed a finger on his earpiece, bowing his head slightly so that the mic would capture his hushed voice. “Raven Two, this is Wolf-Pack leader. Target is a click to the north. Target is holed up in civilian village. Orders to proceed?”

He hunched down and scanned the grim expressions of his team. These men were the best of the best. Super Soldiers in a very literal sense. Their black painted faces were set, but Creed could see in each soldiers eyes that they were ready for combat. After a brief pause, the tinny voice in his ear piece returned.

~{Wolf-Pack. Weapons are loose. Target to be apprehended by any means necessary. Raven Two out}~


Creeds jaw tightened and his hand shifted on the automatic rifle resting on his knees. The heat of thick jungle they were crouched in caused a steam stream of sweat down his back and he shifted uncomfortably. “Alright we’re going in and extracting the target. Weapons are loose but I don’t want any…"

Flashing pain in his head seared his thoughts. Creed screwed his eyes tight shut against it but still it came. He noticed that amidst the pain he could hear the rustling of a nesting bird 50 meters of to the left and taste the scent of alarm and uncertainty in the air. His blood ran heavy with the urge to hunt…. To kill….

“You alright Vic?”

Creed opened his eyes and blinked. His team-mates were gathered around him, concern on their faces. “Huh?” he muttered, still groggy.

“You alright? What the hell happened?” Asked Alec McArthur, the man to his left.

“Ugh. Nothing. This damn jungle heat, it’s gettin’ to me. Anyway, where was I?”

“Weapons loose. A.M.N”.

“Right. I want this one to be clean and easy. We go in quick, hit ‘em silent and get him out. If you can avoid fire then do so. Weapons are loose but there are innocent civs in there an’ I don’t want their blood on our hands”. He glanced at each of the three faces surrounding him. “McArthur”, he said, looking at the slender Scots-man. “You’re on point. Check the perimeter and put down any sentries”. He turned his attention to the burly African directly opposite. “Daniels, you’re in there with me. We’ll need those Sledgehammers of yours if we get stuck”. Daniels grinned and clenched his fists, watching as they turned to solid stone, before turning back to normal. “Cortez, you’re our rear guard. Cover our asses and keep the back door open”. The Spaniard hawked and spat, his face grim but his green eyes smiling. “When we get there I’ll call in Raven Two and we’ll have twenty minutes to get in, get out and get to the LZ. Any questions?”

Each man shook their head in silent reply. “Okay, safety’s off. Let’s move out Elites”.

Triskelion, Detention Block D

Deep within the bowels of the Triskelion the Earth's most deadly of creatures spend their days confined to a cell. Within the government funded building are many rooms and many hallways. Each cell has been specifically designed to house its captive, ensured to keep the resident from leaving.

Most recently, SHIELD, the Triskelion's founding father, has been running tests on their inmates. Psychological and physical examinations for their newest and latest venture. For a few weeks "Project Jupiter" has been underway, led personally by Carol Danvers. The records and evaluations that SHIELD has collected have been very enlightening, bringing them to conclusions that to most would disgust, but to them, only intrigue.

Carol Danvers walks slowly down a hallway inside the secure structure, documents held closely at her side. Her black tinted glasses mask her eyes, hiding most of her emotion and personality. Two SHIELD operatives walk behind her, keeping a distance while staying close. The operatives are dressed in formal atire, their black suits poorly covering the mounted armor beneath. Carol reaches a doorway and she stops, pausing outside with a frown. "Well?" She says in an apathetic tone. "Open the door."

"Ms. Danvers," one of the operatives speaks, moving in close. "I was told to warn you that inmate 4356-"

"Stowe it, agent." She says in a gruff voice. "He's highly dangerous, mentally psychotic, and legally insane. Just like the last twenty." She stares again at the door and motions impatiently to the agent. Reluctantly he takes out a key card and slips it through the device by the door handle. A click is heard and the metal door slips open. "Thank you, agent. Don't enter unless you're given the signal."

"Yes, Ms. Danvers." Carol steps inside the room and tightly closes the door behind her. As she walks forward inside, she sees a fold out chair and a small metal table, firmly bolted and welded to the floor infront. Opposite the table a man sits lazily in a chair. His hands are handcuffed to the table tightly by thick metal restraints. His body is clothed in the usual attire, a bright orange jumpsuit with a number typed in bold print over the right chest. As Carol takes her seat in the adjacent chair, she grimaces slightly as she stares at the man's face.

"Unpleasent to look at?" He asks with what could almost be considered a smile.
"I've seen worse." Carol replies sternly.
"Don't hide it." The man says with a casual tone. "We all feel fear." Carol ignores the man and places the files on the desk in front of her.

"Subject Wade Wilson, also known as Deadpool. Self proclaimed "human supremacist" with a severe aversion to the mutant species. Sergeant during the Wakanda Wars and now known mercenary." Pausing for a moment, she turns the page and takes in another deep breath. "Records show he is mentally unstable, being a bi-polar sociopath and in addition a possible schizophrenic. His physical condition is dire and pecular due to an unknown accident. Studies show he is uncooperative, arogent, and at times, violent." She slaps the records firmly and leans back in her chair. "Did I miss anything?"

"You forgot the part about me being well versed in four kinds of martial arts."

Carol stares at the man with a deep look, examining him closely as he sits completely relaxed in his seat. "Alright, 'Wadey'," she starts, her tone sarcastic. "Why did you take the name 'Deadpool'?"

"Alright." Wade starts. "We'll start with this one?" Carol stays motionless, her face plastered with the same look of stone. "Hmm," he snickers. "Okay. It all started when I was a boy. My father was an alcoholic, you see. A real real mean one. It's why my mother left, you know." He pauses for a moment, looking to Carol to see any sign of emotion. She shows none, and he simple shrugs and continues.

"During the day he was nice. A real "Mr. Nice Guy." Yep, that's old dad. A saint, really. Until about eight o'clock. That's when the bottle came out." Wade takes a deep breath and moans a little, his eyes squinting slightly with the sense of nostalgia. "Everyday he'd turn into someone else. A demon that only wanted to hurt. Heh, I remember one time I came home, oh, I was so excited. I had made the little league team. I wanted to make my dad proud so I had worn his old jersey from his days as a player in high school. Course, during the tryouts, I got it all dirty. Needless to say, when he saw me, he didn't find it amusing. No, no. Not at all." He stops for a moment, pausing in the silence to breath. He stares up to Carol and looks her in the eyes.

"He beat me. Oh, did he beat me. It's days like those that remind you how harsh life can be. How dark it can be."

Carol stares at Wade, looking him straight in the face as he leans back in his chair. She lets out a deep breath as she stares at the prisoner, his expression seemingly sincere. "None of that's true, is it?" She asks blankly, her tone harsh. Wade laughs, placing his hands behind his head awkwardly.

"Haha, no." He responds without care. "Not a word."

"Didn't think so." She replies in annoyance.

"Sure makes a good story, doesn't it?" Carol stays silent, shifting in her seat. She opens the files on the table and lowers her glasses as she examines the documents inside.

"You're going to keep this up, aren't you, Wilson?"
"Keep up what?" He asks with sly voice.
"The uncooperative spirit." She says frankly. "Everytime we speak to you we never get a straight answer."
"Well, I guess it's the atmosphere. I usually don't respond well to 'dark and intimidating.'"
"You realize these evaluations we do could potentially provide you a release, right?" Her voice trails off, her tone commanding. Wilson simply snickers, a mocking laugh to her efforts. He leans forward in the chair, placing his hands back on the table. He looks into Carol's eyes and stares deeply, looking almost into her soul.
"I'm going to be released, babe." He says with a smirk. "And one of you will be the one to do it. And you know what'll happen when you let me out?" He asks suspiciously. "You'll be the first person I kill. With my bare hands."

Carol's eyes widen, taken back by Wilson's remark. As she sits in shock from his response, Wade grins proudly as he leans comfortably back in his chair.

"Alright." Carol says, collecting the documents from the table and rising to her feet. "I think my analysis is done..." She turns her back and walks to the door at the end of the room. She presses a button by the window and a loud buzz is heard in the room. As the door opens, Wade leans forward and clears his throught.

"Do you know exactly what a Dead Pool is, Carol?" He asks slyly. Carol turns back to him and listens intently, curious to hear what he'll say. "It's a game people play to predict who's going to die next. During the war, we played it a lot. The funny thing is, it's more accurate than you'd think. Sure, maybe you wouldn't die first after your name came up, but it was only a matter of time. Death put his black mark on you in those days, and trust me, he always collects his dues. Well, except for me." He grins as he rubs his hands together nervously. "When my name came up, I was sure my days were numbered. Haha... I feared death then. I was so young...so naive. You know when they say some things are worse than death? I learned that lesson. First hand."

Carol smiles slightly, her mind both skeptical yet intrigued by the mercenary's words. "Sounds like hell, Wilson."

"War is hell." He responds coldly. "But everyday there's a dead pool played. The object is to make sure your name doesn't come up next. Keep that in mind, Ms. Danvers." Carol smiles and steps out the door, closing it behind her.

"I will, Wade." She says as the door clicks shut. "I will."

Powers and a brief description of the character in proper English: Peter Parker was just your average teenage nerd attending Midtown High School, until he was bitten by a spider that had been enhanced by the prototype super soldier drug, Oz, and given the arachnid-like abilities of a spider. At first, he used his powers for selfish reasons, and one night when Peter had the oppurtunity to stop a robber, he didn't. That same robber managed to kill Peter's Uncle Ben, which had caused Peter a tremendous amount of guilt for not acting responsibly, and so a hero was born. Using his uncle's advice of "With great power comes great responsibilty" to guide him, Peter became Spider-Man to protect the citizens of New York so they do not share the same fate as his beloved Uncle.

Peter/Spider-Man has the powers of enhanced agility and strength, adhesion to any surface, and a spider sense to detect danger. He also has wrist mounted web shooters, and is also a natural genius in the fields of science and physics.


Three reasons why you have chosen that character:
1. I'm a big fan of Spider-Man comics and other Spidey media, and to play him in an RPG would be a great honor
2. I'm more of an Ultimate Spidey fan than 616, so I'd much rather love to play Ultimate Spider-Man.
3. This RPG needs a better class of RPer, and I'm gonna give it to 'em.:hoboj:

What can you bring to this game? I want to write a Spider-Man that can hopefully live up to the legends that wrote him in all the RPGs until now. I'll completely stay true to the character and not do anything that can take away from who he is.

How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: As much as possible

Provide a small sample post for your character, about 4 paragraphs with at least one line of dialouge:

So... I have this friend. Smart kid actually. Kind of witty, his Aunt May is great, and boy is his girlfriend, Mary-Jane Watson, beautiful. But this 'friend'... There's more to him than the eye can see, for he leads a secret life... One full of action and adventure! As well as the occasional turmoil and crazy whackjobs trying to kill him, because he's no ordinary kid... As it turns out, he's Spider-Man! And this friend's name is Peter Parker, which just so happens to be my name too, because he's actually not a friend of mine... He's me.

"Why do you parade around in red and blue webbed tights and risk yours and your loved one's lives on a daily basis, Pete?" you ask? Do you REALLY want to know? Because let's face it, this story isn't for the faint of heart... You really want to know why I am who I am? Okay... I'll tell you.

It all started with one man. My Uncle Ben. You see, when I was bitten by a spider that was genetically enhanced with a prototype super-soldier serum (you know, like the one they used on Captain America? I met him once. Quite the hoot, that guy is...), and gave me these... powers. These abilities that were similar to a spider, and at first I used them to make money by wrestling, until the guy in charge didn't give me the money I earned, and he was robbed right after I had left the room. The burgler even ran past me in the hallway, and I let him go... I thought it was a nice little revenge for that guy not paying me. Boy would that decision come back to bite me in the... well you know. Because I failed to do the responsible thing by stopping him, he managed to shoot my Uncle Ben to steal his car. He died in my arms... The last thing he told me was "With great power, comes great responsibility...". I would, from that night on, LIVE by those words, and thus, Spider-Man was born. Using his powers responsibly to help the citizens of New York avoid the same fate as my Uncle Ben, not only because it's the right thing to do, but also to honor that great man that raised me and guided me to live by that motto. That's why I do it...

That's why I'm Spider-Man...

After all, that's who I am. I'm Spider-Man. Even right now, I'm swinging through the skies, watching out for the people of this city...

You know something? It's such a beautiful day today in New York City. The sun is shining. The wind is cool and refreshing, and the predominately natural scent of automotive exhaust and 12-inch frankfurters is barely noticeable. It feels calm. Serene. Tranquil. Something I rarely get to experience, given what I do. It feels good. Almost makes me want to sing...

"Don't stop! Believin'!"

As I rocked on to the Journey that played in my head and continued swinging on the fibrous thread of web that I held firmly in my head and between my fingers, I felt a strange feeling in the back of my neck. One that caused me to come to an abrupt halt. It was my spider-sense, and it was going off like the Tin-Man walking through a metal detector.

I gently let go of the line and clung myself to the side of a nearby building to notice my surroundings, taking in every detail. Looking for any irregularity, and that's when I heard it. An alarm. It sounded like a schoolbell, and believe me, I know all too well what that sounds like. Except it was louder, and much more alerting, like it's coming from...

The bank. Luckily it's only a few feet away...

Jumping off of the reflective window, I pressed my middle two fingers into the buttons in the palm of my glove, and watched as the strands of webbing all weaved into one larger line before adhering to the nearest balcony, and with a tremendous amount of momentum, I leapt off the web at the near-top of my swing arc and felt the rush as the wind blew against my masked face, before landing gently on the roof of the bank, before I crawled off the ledge and down the side of the wall, and utilizing the element of surprise, I managed to peer through a window to get a good look of what's going on.

"Well lookie who we have here..."




* * *

Can you believe this guy? It seems like every other day he's trying to make his big score, but I'm always right around the corner...

"Everyone back up! Now!"

BOOM!!

http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/0/77/141908-153069-shocker_super.jpg

"I said, Back the F*** up! I'm not kidding around this time!"

If there is one guy, just one person that I actually hope to see at a bank robbery, it would have to be Herman Schultz, the "Shocker". The guy is so lame, that every time we meet, it ends with him in webs. And lucky me that it's, once again, he who has set off the bank's alarms, and lucky him that his freindly neighborhood Spider-Man happened to be around today to crash the party.

"Pleasure doing business with you. Now if you'll excuse me--"

"Omigod, it's Taylor Hicks! Fancy seeing you here! Can I have your autograph? I'm a big Idol fan..." I announced as I lowered myself from a webline clinging to the ceiling like a Duncan yo-yo, obstructing his path to the front door.

"Spider-Man!" The crowd of bystanders called out, alerting the Shocker of my prescence.

"Spider-Man! Wh-what are you doing here?"

"I had to make a transaction. It's incredible how much web-shooters cost these days. I blame it on the poor economy..."

"Enough talk, web-head. Get out of my way before I crush you like the bug you are..."

"First off, I prefer the term "arachnid"... And second, I agree. No more talking. Let's jive!"

THWIP!

Before he could blink, I shot a small line of web at the dufflebag of cash he had in his right hand, and managed to rip it from his gloved fingers. He looked down at his empty hand before looking to see me gone, clinging to the ceiling and webbing the dufflebag to it. I wasn't worried too much about how the staff will get it down, because the web will disolve in about an hour anyways. Plenty of time for me to take this clown to the cleaners...

Before I got too deep into thought however, my spider sense went off in time for me to dodge one of his vibro-blasts. I then jumped from the ceiling to a nearby pillar, and looked at the Shocker shooting wildly like a maniac. He's gonna bring this place down, and there's too many hostages in here for me to allow him the time he needs to do that.

"C'mon, Hermy. Catch the birdie!" I taunted. He then shot out another deadly discharge, which to his chagrin I again easily avoided.

"Hold still, Spider!"

"My god, Shocker... Your aim is worse than Dick Cheney's! I bet you couldn't hit the broad side of your friend's face!"

"Ha-ha. Funny, wall-crawler. Let's see how much you laugh when I crush your windpipe..."

"You'll have to catch me first!!"

The Shocker then became so enraged that he launched three more vibro-bullets, and with each one I avoided, I came closer and closer to where he stood, which caused him to move back towards the wall and infront of another huge support pillar. Then when he was distracted by my insults, I simultaneously fired two lines of web at him, which had both missed his head by centimeters...

"Hah! You missed, web-head."

"Wasn't aimin' at ya..." I retorted with a smirk, tugging on the pillar behind him and watching it collapse on top of him. It knocked him out cold...

"Night night, Shocky."

In the next moment, I was gone. Swinging throught the skyline of the Big Apple, leaving behind a webbed up supervillain, and a note attatched for the police that read...

Screen Name: Syn (Mercenary)

Character you would like to play: Peter Parker, AKA Spider-Man

Powers and a brief description of the character in proper English:
Peter Parker was an ordinary teen until one visit to a science lab. There, he was bitten by a radioactive lab spider, giving him amazing powers and changing his life forever.

With super strength, agility, the ability to stick to walls, a spectacular precognitive warning, and an uncanny sense of humor, Peter Parker has become Spider-Man. Since that fateful day, Peter has tried to live up to the phrase told to him by his uncle, “With great power comes great responsibility.” Ever since, Peter has fought super powered baddies, mob bosses, and the struggle to pass High School while making it home before curfew.

Peter has superhuman strength, stamina, speed, agility, reflexes, durability and an accelerated healing factor. He can stick to most surfaces like a spider, and his spider-sense gives him precognitive abilities. He has web shooters he's developed on his own to shoot an adhesive web string that he uses to zipline around the city.

Three reasons why you have chosen that character:

1. Spider powers as a teen? :up: Epic.

2. Teen depression? Epic fail. But fun.

3. Spidey is easily my favorite Ultimate character or character in Marvel.

What can you bring to this game? My wit and talent. And because that’s not sufficient enough, I’ll throw in a keg and some brownies.

How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: As many as I need to.

Do you know how to post pictures on the hype boards: Yes, I am savvy in the fields of picture postage on hype. Duh.

Provide a small sample post for your character, about 4 paragraphs with at least one line of dialogue:

"Alright, class, now pay attention. If the triangle has a ninety degree angle, then the hypotenuse is twice the length of the left side."

I can't pay attention anymore. As the teacher drones on about geometry and angles, all I can think about is getting out of this stuffy room and into the fresh air. True, a few months ago, all I would dream about would be staying in rooms just like this for a few extra hours and study study study. But now? Haha. That's all changed. Thanks to one little accident.

"Mr. Parker!" He shouts, slapping the board with his hand. I jump a little in my seat and come back to reality for a moment. The class laughs as the teacher shoots me a stern look. "Daydreaming again?"

"Sure, Mister Wilson!" Flash shouts. "Dreams are the only place he's not a loser!" I shake my head at his insult. Typical Flash.

"Well, Mr. Parker, maybe you'd like to solve the equation for us?"
"Burned." I look at the board and ignore Flash. Alright, simple geometry equation. Just gotta remember the theorems and a few key tricks.

"Well," I start, a smile wide on my face. "If the triangle is tangent to the circle then the length of the exterior angle has to be fourty five so...the arc is a hundred fourty eight degrees." Mr. Wilson stares at me with awe, his mouth wide open. He lowers his arms and closes his mouth.

"...very good, Mr. Parker." I look across the room and turn to MJ. She smiles, giving me an inspirational look. I wink, and she winks back. The bell's rings loudly, it's annoying tone both a bother and a relief. "Class, don't forget, midterms on Friday!" He shouts, trying to overpower the sound of the bell. I grab my backpack and jump up from my chair, running for the door. School's out for the day. Time to have some fun.

As I make my way into the hallway, I feel a tug on my arm. I turn to see Kong and Hobie walking up behind me. "Hey, Pete." Liz says to me with a grin. "You runnin' out so soon?"

"Heh, yeah." I say, shrugging my shoulders smoothly. "You know how it is with work and everything."

"Right," Liz winks. "'Work'."
"Otherwords, making out with MJ." Hobie says with a grin.
"Actually, he really does have work." A voice states, coming up into the small grouping. MJ steps up beside me and puts her arm on my shoulder. "Pete's busy again. Besides, Hobie, you should know Pete's runnin' with Kitty Pride."
"Oooh." Hobie howls, punching my arm. "Stud."
"Heh...right, yeah."
"Don't get nervous, Pete." MJ tells me with a smirk. "Tell Kitty 'hi' for me." MJ steps into the flow of kids running to their busses and soon disapears. As I watch her walk away, a part of me longs to tell her the truth. Kitty and I have been growing distant lately, and she seems like she just doesn't get me. I mean, I care for her and all, but...well, sometimes you just remember the way things used to be and just wish you could go back.

"Woah, Pete." Liz says with a snicker. "Staring at MJ walkin' away, huh?" She laughs and taps Hobie on the shoulder. "What is this, a network drama?"
"Sorry, I'm just distracted today..."
"Weren't distracted during Wilson's class, Parker." Flash shouts, walking up and joining in. "You nailed that problem."
"Thanks, Flash." I tell him with a grin.
"Now if you could just 'nail' some other stuff, huh?" He slaps my arm hard and begins to laugh immaturely. Hobie rolls his eyes while a few kids from the surrounding area join in on the laugh. I let out an annoyed sigh and turn away. "Come on, Parker. Cheer up, it's a joke."
"Kinda like your grade in there, right?" I say with a smirk.
"Oooh!" Hobie shouts, instigating the two of us. "Parker just thrashed you, bro." Flash's face turns red and he growls under his breath.
"Yeah, Eugene." Liz says with a smirk.
"DON'T CALL ME THAT!" He shouts, throwing his fists in the air. "Damn, Parker, you wanna go?"

Suddenly, I hear them. The noises of the people around me just fade and all I focus on are those old familiar noises. Sirens, coming fast right down the street. "Sorry," I say, running off down the hallway. "Gotta go." As I throw my backpack over my shoulder I turn and call back out to Flash. "Later, Eugene." I smile. I hear the faint sound of Flash yelling in anger and I laugh. Times are good.

I duck quickly into the back alley. God, it's almost like a sport now. I throw my backpack behind some crates and immediately begin to strip. As I pull off the soft clothing I reveal my tight identity beneath. I toss my clothes in a ball by my bag, grabbing the mask from the pocket. I pull it tightly over my face, setting it in place. As I feel my breath hit the material and warm my face I feel almost at home. This is me.

I put my arm up in the air and pull my fingers back on the webshooter. A thin line shoots out and I pull up, lifting off into the air. I start my swing down the street, passing the busses and the people beneath me. They shout to me, some commending, some insulting. Either way, I'm here and they know it. "Hey, Spidey! GO GET EM!" I salute to the onlooker, smiling beneath my mask.

http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w259/SpideyRPG/Spidey6-2.jpg

After a few blocks and minutes later, I catch up to the police cars. Doesn't take too long. I look down the road and I see where they are going. Robbery, the usual. I take a few long jumps and get a head of the cars. Without much effort, I'm there, Central Bank. A barricade is already set up and the crazed thief is holding them off a lot better than I'd expect.

"GET BACK!" He shouts, holding the bags in one hand and a boomerang in the other. "Aye, I'm warnin' ya, mates, these blokes hurt!"

"BOOMER!" I shout, leaping through the air and landing gracefully on the road in front of him. "So good to see you!"
"SPIDER-MAN!?" He exclaims in terror.
"Oh, come on, Boomer, don't pee yourself. It's only me."
"Aw, damn. Not you. Anyone else."
"Now, now, Boomer," I say casually, stepping forward toward him. "No need for language."
"Aye! Step back, mate!" He holds up the boomerang high above his head, cocking his arm preparing to throw it. "These, mate, are new. Improved, you might say. I've set these to explode on impact. I hit one of these cop cars, let's just say they're gonna have a real bad day."

"That's cute, Boomer." I say with a chuckle, positiong my webshooter carefully as I try to distract him. "But how am I suppossed to take you seriously if everytime you talk I expect you to wrestle a crocodile?"
"Aye, warned ya mate." He smiles beneath the loose costume and my head flares. Uh-oh. Without thinking I pull my fingers back on the webshooter and send a line right into his visor. "CRICKEY!" He shouts, stepping backward clumsily. I leap forward and flip over him, snagging the boomerang from his hand before kicking him swiftly to the ground.

"Jeez, Boomer." I say, catching my breath. "These look kinda cheep up close. Are they a suvenier from Outback?"
"Aye, dammit!" He shouts, struggling to remove the web from his mask.
"Again with the language." I say, shaking my head. I step forward toward him and place my hand on his shoulder. He turns in a frenzy and stares at me, straight into my wide open eye holes. "What do you call this baby?" I ask, pointing to the explosive boomerang. "The bloomin' onion?"
"GET BACK!" He shouts, blindly going to punch me. I step back with ease, plenty of time to dodge. As his fist flies by my face and grab his forearm and twist, applying little pressure. He drops to the ground and I let out a relaxed snicker.

"Alright, Boomer, time to go n'yght n'yght." I say with the worst Austrailian accent I've ever heard. I let loose a swift punch, knocking him right in the jaw. His body goes limp and he drops quickly. I catch him and gently rest his unconscious body on the concrete. "No worries, boys." I shout out to the cops. "He's just napping." One of the policemen runs up to me, his gun out and aimed.

"Stand down, Spider-Man. Hands up."
"...You're kidding, right?" I ask him in a dissapointed tone.
"Hands up, come on!" He shouts again.
"I just stopped the criminal. He's right there!" I point, finger toward the unconscious body. "Come on, man. Free pass?" He stares intently at me, his face grim and angry.
"Hands...up." I sigh, and shake my head.
"Okay." As my hands raise above my head, I shoot a web from my webshooter and catch a building side. I jump back and swing hard into the air.
"HEY!" The policeman shouts angrily. "You're resisting arrest." He growls. "Who do you think you are?!"
"Who me?" I ask, waving back to him as I swing off into the distance. "I'm your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man!"

My name's Peter Parker. I go to Midtown High School in Queens. I'm just your average ordinary teenager. I go to school football games, do my homework, and hang with my friends. I have a girlfriend, a job, and I live with my aunt in a small house near the park. Pretty normal. Oh, yeah. One more thing you should know.

I'm Spider-Man.

Screen Name: Byrd Man

Character you would like to play:Captain America

Powers and a brief description of the character in proper English:

From Wiki:

Steve Rogers started off as a frail volunteer for scientific experimenting on behalf of the U.S. government. He underwent extensive surgery and steroid treatment and training to become Captain America and fighting the Nazis during World War II. He would eventually come into battle with Herr Kleiser who introduced a prototype atomic bomb and intercontinental missile that were made with alien technology meant to target the White House. However they were too late to stop the process from commencing, but Captain America managed to get to the missile as it launched. In a successful attempt to stop it in mid air, he fell into the sea and was presumed dead. Years after, the body of Captain America was found in the Arctic Ocean frozen in a block of ice. It was as if he hadn't aged a day. It is unknown whether it was due to cryogenic preservation or the super soldier serum that prevented him from aging. Now, Captain America leads The Ultimates into battle!

Powers: Super human strength, agility, stamina, and a fearless leading ability.

Three reasons why you have chosen that character:

1. I was told I played him reasonably well.

2. He's American, dammit! AMERICAN! :cmad:

3. See 1 and 2.

22:00 Hours
Above Iraqi Airspace

What happened to my world?

That's a question I wonder almost every day. People are no longer respectful to things they once held sacred. The American flag is ridiculed and spit on by American citizens, people sue for having to say God in the pledge of allegiance, the president is criticized for trying to defend America against our enemies. Youngsters walk around with their underwear showing and listening to obscene nursery rhymes they call music.

While I do realize there is much wrong with the world, there is some good. Sixty years after they couldn't eat in a diner, negroes now have a president. I suppose this world can't be that bad.

But I do know that it is not the America I lived and "died" in, I do know that this is still my country.

The plane rattles and shakes as we inch closer to the drop zone.

I don't mean to sound like an old fart, but that's how I feel about America now. There is so much that I don't understand about the world now, I guess that's why I continue to fight.

While almost everything I've know has changed, combat still hasn't.

People accuse me of being a hot head, of starting trouble. They don't understand.

Fighting is all I know now. It's how I fit in this world.

Fighting makes me feel normal. It's sad to say it, but when the chips are down and the bullets are whizzing, I'm back home.

I look up into the cargo hold and see the light turn green.

Making my way to the plane's door. I slide my shield on my back and leap out the door.

My country needs me again and I am more than willing to take up the call.

Screen Name: Eddie Brock

Character you would like to play: Danny Rand aka Iron Fist

Powers and a brief description of the character in proper English: Danny possesses the ability to focus his chi in a variety of ways. The most well-known way is to channel it into his fists, making them impervious to pain and as strong as metal. However, he can also heal himself through meditation. It's possible for him to 'charge' a projectile's chi - thus making it like his Iron Fist.

Danny Rand is the son of Wendell Rand, a multibillionaire corporate CEO. However, Danny and his father stopped talking after Danny got his high school sweetheart, Colleen, pregnant. Danny, Colleen, and their daughter, Heather, struggle to get by sometimes. After years of training, Danny developed the power of the Iron Fist, using it on the criminal underground. However, his quest has brought him at odds with the police many times.

Three reasons why you have chosen that character:
1. He was my first RPG character ever. I didn't stick with him then, but I plan to stick with him now.

2. I intend to make Danny a character with real issues: he has trouble paying the rent, his relationship with his father is nonexistent, Colleen is tired of his run-ins with the law, etc.

3. Four words: Ultimate Heroes for Hire.

What can you bring to this game? I have thoroughly enjoyed all my Seasons with this RPG, and I don't plan on this new Volume being any different. The past week or two has given me time to come up with plans, and I'm excited to get started.

Provide a small sample post for your character, about 4 paragraphs with at least one line of dialouge:

I wince as the shot burns my throat on the way down. I don't drink hard liquor regularly, so I'm not used to the sensation. It's a good burn though - like hot chocolate on a snowy day. It takes your mind off other sources of pain. Plus, it just makes you feel good.

"Hey!" a voice behind me barks as I'm tapped rigorously on the shoulder. I turn around, my drink still in hand. The man in front of me eyeballs me angrily. "The boys over there tell me that you're Iron Fist," he explains accusingly.

I look over his shoulder at a group of whispering thugs. They're watching intently. I sigh. "Look, I'm just here for a drink, man," I explain calmly as I start to turn back around. He grabs me on the shoulder. "Have it your way," I mutter as I put my glass down.

Spinning, I deliver a quick hook to the man's chin. As he stumbles back, I kick out his legs. He falls to the floor with a dull thud. I clench my fists and enter a ready-stance.

"If you're looking for a fight, I'll be happy to oblige," I explain to the surrounding patrons. I could use the chance to hit something, anyway, I think to myself. They eye me cautiously, and I watch for someone to make his move. They always wait until they think you're not...

I harden my fist and deliver a crushing uppercut to the man who charges at me with a pool cue. The sound of metal clanging rings out. I don't feel a thing.

Two down.

Character you would like to play: Norman Osborn aka The Green Goblin

Powers and a brief description of the character in proper English: As a result of the explosion during Norman's experiment, his DNA is forever mutated. At first uncontrollable, Norman now possesses the ability to control his transformations into the Goblin: a hulking creature with incredible strength, agility, and pyrokinesis. Norman's most dangerous power, however, is his ability to manipulate.

Norman Osborn was trying desperately to recreate the Super-Soldier Formula in order to save his funding. Naturally, he was in disbelief when Peter Parker was transformed into Spider-Man by a bite from a spider infected with an experimental OsCorp serum: OZ. In an attempt to recreate Peter's accident gone horribly wrong, Norman was turned into the Green Goblin. He has had multiple encounters with Spider-Man and SHIELD, and he is currently in custody at the Triskelion.

Three reasons why you have chosen that character:
1. I wasn't going to apply for Spidey, but I knew I had to play someone in his universe. After consideration, Osborn seemed like the only viable choice.

2. I plan to make Norman a threat to the Ultimate Marvel Universe at large - not just the arachnid-themed parts of it.

3. Two words: Ultimate Thunderbolts (V. 2).

Provide a small sample post for your character, about 4 paragraphs with at least one line of dialouge:

"I'll have your head for this, Fury," I threaten from within my cell. Three metal walls with a plasma barrier instead of bars. I'm impressed that they expect to need such high security with me. It's not exactly a wrong expectation, either. No one locks Norman Osborn up in a cage. No one.

Fury puts his hands on his hips and replies, "Careful, Osborn. Talk like that will only make matters worse." He doesn't smirk - the smug bastard - but I know he wants to. He's been trained for years in the art of getting under people's skin. Unfortunately, even I am not immune. However, I can control my rage. Save it for later, if you will.

"What could possibly be worse? You make that sniveling swine Octavius my cellmate?" I ask challengingly. Fury has nothing to threaten me with. As much as he'd like to see me suffer with Octavius, he also knows that our combined intellect would eventually guide us to combining our efforts. Even this cell cannot hold the combined strength - and cunning - of the two of us. "At this point, I have nothing to lose."

"See, that's the problem with guys like you," Fury remarks. "You always think that. But, see, you forget about your son."

Harry. What a pathetic failure of a son. That is, until the accident changed him. Here I thought I was the only one to benefit. It wasn't until much later that I learned he had been transformed into something new. Something a father can be proud of. Even so, the little brat continues to disappoint. Were it not for his intervention on the White House lawn, I would not be in my current situation.

"Why would that concern me?" I ask calmly, concealing my true thoughts. "He's grown up to be just like his mother. Little bastard stabbed me in the back twice - once literally! The only reason I'd want him alive is so I could kill him myself!" That part is true. However, I have renewed faith in my son. Maybe he can become more than he ever was - like his old man.

"Funny. 'Cause what I heard is that you were demanding to see him not that long ago," Fury thinks aloud. I had forgotten about that incident. I was on the brink of losing it. I've since regaining my composure. Even so, Fury has me in a tight spot. Check.

"Like I said, I want to squeeze the life out of him with my bare hands," I counter. Fury appears slightly annoyed. Our never-ending chess game continues.

As Fury is leaving, he calls back, "Just remember not to drop the soap, Norman. There are some sick people in here." The door closes, and I am alone with my thoughts once again.

ULTIMATE MARVEL RPG VOL.2 SIGN-UP FORM

Screen Name: Matt Murdock

Character you would like to play: Peter Parker, Ultimate Spider-Man

Powers and a brief description of the character in proper English:

"Child of the spider; first cousin to the atom."
- J. Michael Straczynski, Spider-Man: Coming Home

Fifteen year-old Peter Benjamin Parker is the average high school student at Midtown High School. He's shy, insecure, and intelligent, "as smart as they come," according to his uncle. He lives in Forest Hills, Queens, New York, with his Uncle Ben and Aunt May. His parents, Richard and Mary, died in a plane crash, leaving Peter to be the responsibility of his aunt and uncle. A lover of science, he's grown to be an apt amateur chemist, physicist, and biologist. On a routine visit to the OsCorp facility as part of a school field trip, Peter was bitten on the hand by a genetically enhanced spider. Initial speculation from the OsCorp officials predicts Peter's certain death as a result of of the bite. Instead of dying, though, Peter inherits the spider's abilities including increased strength, agility, reflexes, the ability to cling to walls, and a precognitive "spider sense" that warns him of danger. He returns to school, having learned of these abilities, with newfound confidence, and the willingness to stand up to bullies who've treated him as fodder for years.

During a fight at his school, Peter blocks a punch from Flash Thompson, the local bully, and the thrust of the punch mangles and breaks the bones in Flash's hand. He earns money to pay off the resulting medical bill by wrestling professionally in a costume the promoters provide. A burglar Peter refuses to stop later kills Peter's Uncle Ben. Wracked with guilt, he modifies his wrestling costume and dedicates his life to fighting crime. Exceptionally brilliant, he completes his scientist father's research on adhesives, thus, inventing the web compound for the webshooters he built. Peter tries to balance school, a job, a girlfriend, his Aunt May and his life as Spider-Man, which proves to be difficult.

Difficult, but not impossible.



Three reasons why you have chosen that character:
1. Spider-Man is my favorite superhero. It's that simple. MB has Batman, Byrd has... the clap, and I've got Spidey.

2. Since day one that I joined this game, I've wanted to play Spider-Man. I got my shot a few seasons ago, and dropped him out of fear for not being able to truly own the character. Now, though, I'm back. And I'm ready to own him.

3. It's Spider-Man!

What can you bring to this game? The warmth of a child's laughter.

How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: Lots...and lots... and lots and lots.

Do you know how to post pictures on the hype boards: I do.

Provide a small sample post for your character, about 4 paragraphs with at least one line of dialouge:

"...Well ain't this just perfect?"

Swinging my way home from the Bugle is one thing. Swinging my way home from the Bugle during a horrendous lightning storm is totally another. When the rain is coming down so hard, you can barely see out of your mask, you know it's time to change into your civvies and hail a cab. When it's pouring with rain, rain that stings as it slams into your skin and lashes around you as you go, and lightning is slamming through the skies of New York like it's tissue paper, you so totally know it's time to call for a cab.

It's tough, though, balancing the benefits of webswinging with the downsides of hurling myself about in the rain. On the plus side, I can go much faster from "point a" to "point b". On the down side, I catch pneumonia as I go. Plus, swinging is a way easier way to go about my --

"HACHOO!" I sneeze hard as I drape a webline along the side of a construction site. Fantastic! A cold. Just what I need in the middle of the spring. Now I can count on Aunt May giving me an earful about "wearing a coat" and "being more careful." Awesome. Awesome blossom.

Where was I? Swinging, right.

It's easier to go about my patrol here in the skies than in a cab. That's definetly a plus. On the down side, though, there's the possibility that I could fall, or miss a webline, or hit my head, or one of any number of things that could result in my imminent demise. On the other hand, Flash Thompson could hit me in the face really hard and put me in a coma, so I guess nobody really knows what "safe" is anymore, huh?

People point at me and snap pictures as I swing by their office windows. They grab and tug at the sleeves of their coworker's pressed linen shirts and say things like "whoa! I didn't know he was real!" I'm used to it by now, even though I haven't been at this "hero" game very long. You'd be surprised, though, even though I save old ladies from runaway buses, stop bank robbers, and put down the craziest-of-the-crazy villains like Doctor Octopus, people still hurl cans, bricks, and whatever other garbage they can get their hands on in my direction. A few of them could play for the Yanks, with their aim. My back and the top of my head have gotten nailed with garbage more times that I'd care to count. And I owe it all to my loving, benevolent, warm-hearted boss, J. Jonah Jameson. The operator of the finest bird-cage-liner in town, the Daily Bugle, Jolly Jameson has made it his sole burden to rid the city of me. Sure, he boasts about exclusive interviews with Iron Man and Captain America, but me? I get headlines that read "SPIDER-MAN IN KAHOOTS WITH MAFIA!" or, my personal favorite: "SPIDER-MAN: HERO OR MENACE?!" That one runs every couple of weeks... if I'm lucky. Every few days if I'm not. Whatever doubt the people of this fine, horn-honking city have in me... I fully blame on Jameson. Sure, Daredevil, a guy who breaks bones and leaves people inches from death (I've only ever left the real bad guys a foot away, at most), gets great press. Meanwhile, I'm left high and dry.

"Hachoo!"

Well... in this case... high and sopping.

THWIP!

A webline goes taught in my hand, the adhesive material in the chemical compound tugging on the fabric of my glove. I pull up on the thread and swing in a low arc, flying just above the roofs of cars. Drivers swerve as they see a guy in his pajamas soaring over them. As I swing I see a woman topple into the street.

"Watch out!" I shout, as I slam onto the roof of a car beneath me. I crouch down on the roof of the car and explode forward, snatching the lady just before a cab hits her. Hell, it nearly hits me as I'm saving her.

"Yeesh!" I say, placing her down on the sidewalk and glancing down the street. "Crazy New York cabbies."

Damsel in distress, right in front of you, here, Parker. Get with the program.

My head snaps back to her as she dusts herself off.

"You alright, ma'am?" I ask sincerely.

Her eyes slowly move up to meet the lenses of my red and black mask, as if she's only now realizing that Spider-Man, yes, the Spider-Man, just saved her keister.

The rain slams into us as we stand on the sidewalk. My costume is soaked through and through, skintight as it sticks to my frame. It'd be quite a show for the ladies if I wasn't wearing my athletic support.

...We'll mark that as a plus for webswinging?

"I... Are yo..."

"Yes, I am. The one, the only, the big-time-super-hero known as Spider-Man."

Her eyes close and open again, as if in slow motion as she processes the information.

"T...there was a man." Stammering. How sweet. It's not everyday you get to meet Spidey. "He had a purse, he slammed into me. I think he stole it."

It's as if she's still processing her near-death experience, her run in with a superhero, and the fact that she saw a guy running away from the scene of a crime all at once. And it's taking forever. Four-eh-ver.

"Can I get a direction? A finger-point?" I say, gesturing around and about, "A 'he-went-thata-way!'?"

She holds a finger up and points down a nearby alley. Just when you thought the day couldn't be more of a clich--

"Hachoo!"

I run my forearm along my upper lip. Yum...

"Thanks for the help."

THWIP!

I pull myself into the alleyway, staring quietly down the half-dark corridor of bricks and glass. It's scary. Even with spider-sense, I still get that feeling in the pit of my stomach. The same one you get in the pit of your gut when you're in a haunted house. Your heart becomes a lump in your throat and --

KRA-KOOM!

I twitch.

...and evening thunder makes you squirm. Of course, the dang thunder only happens when you're in the alleyway to begin with.

A light is mounted just above a doorway to a restaurant or club... the bulb isn't working. How typical.

And then I see him. He's not scary or intimidating. He's a guy. With a baseball cap over his face, searching through the purse... his loot. And he, apparently, hasn't noticed the lanky superhero clinging to the wall six feet away from him.

"They say you can learn a lot about a lady by going through her purse." His head snaps up at my pubescent voice.

"I don't think that's what you're doing this for, though."

THWIP!

I lean back and let go of the wall, swinging on a webline and connecting with his jaw with a hard kick. He lifts into the air and slams into a wall, shattering some of the bricks.

"Wow." I say aloud, watching as he slumps to the ground on one knee, his hat beside him. He's bald. Probably from a biker gang. I can't lie; I'm pretty impressed that he was able to break the brick. Usually these petty guys go down in a punch, maybe two. "Gotta say, I mighta underestimated you. Usually, the guys I slam into brick walls while quoting The Incredibles don't have the stamina to get up."

I watch as he pulls himself to his feet, and, somehow, the rain pours harder. As the man gets to his feet, my lenses meet his eyes. My skin begins to tingle, and the air seems to crack as a grin slowly starts to spread across his face. See... it's times like this that I'm glad I have a spider-sense. If I were in any real danger, it'd be going haywire...

Tingling. Back of my neck. Spider-sense.

Looks like I spoke too soon.

His eyes glow as mine grow behind my mask.

"Something tells me that this idea might... have... been... very..."

http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/7739/415860electroultimate00.jpg

"...Bad."

Him? Electro. Loser extraordinaire. Former member of the Kingpin's hitsquad, the Enforcers. Knocked his tookus out with a big funnel of water. Basically got him to short-circuit. Looks like he's managed to fix that issue and can fully control electricity.

Me? Spider-Man. Hero extraordinaire. Former member of the chess team. Currently covered in water and about to face off against a guy who can manipulate electricity... I guess we'll call that a downside of webswinging.

"Ya think, insect?" Electro snarls.

Spider-Sense. Lightning bolt coming. I leap into the air as Electro fires his hand in front of him, firing a bolt of pure electricity into the spot on the brick, leaving a smoking fragment of stone in it's place. I don't even have the nerve to comment on the error Electro made regarding spiders being insects. Honestly, it's growing to be quite a problem in the supervillain community and I just don't feel like my constant corrections are making a difference.

I spring forward, dodging a blast in mid-air as I head right for Electro.

"Stand still." He confidently hisses, "This'll be over soon."

"Stand still?" My retort comes swiftly as I bounce about the alleyway, "Why? So you can fry me like an egg? Smoke me like a salmon? As far as I can remember, you had a real food theme going last time we fought. Remember? When I beat the snot outta you?"

Chuckling to myself, I roll along the wet pavement.

"Ah, good times."

I find a louisville slugger in a heap of garbage and heave it out. Electro's body is fully electrified. I need to make sure I don't touch him... unless, of course, I want to end up as a spider-on-a-stick.

Like a javelin, I hurl the bat at Electro's face, hitting him square in the jaw.

"Gah! Dammit." He roars. Snatching everything I can find that might hurt him, I start pelting him with garbage.

In a lull in the fight, he sticks his neck out excitedly, sending water running off of his chin.

"You wanna get crazy?" The electricity coursing through his flesh and clothes begins to turn blue, along with the rest of his skin. And, then, I realize... I might've just bitten way more than I can chew.

"Let's get crazy!"

Electro burts into a flash of bright blue light, as electricity courses through each droplet of water falling around and onto me. I scream in agony as the blue electricity singes my skin.

I slump onto the ground, in a smoking heap.

"You've been a pest for me for too long!" He announces victoriously.

"Gulp..." I say aloud.

Time to be the hero.

Screen Name: Matt Murdock

Character you would like to play: Tony Stark, Ultimate Iron Man

Powers and a brief description of the character in proper English: What to say about good ol' Anthony Stark? He's a billionaire, a drunkard, and a guy in a suit of armor. Did I mention drunkard?

Three reasons why you have chosen that character:

1. Powered armor.

2. Shameless flirtation.

3. Al-co-hol.

What can you bring to this game? A consistent smattering of Iron Man posts. :up:

How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: Enough.

Do you know how to post pictures on the hype boards: Yes

Provide a small sample post for your character, about 4 paragraphs with at least one line of dialouge:

Ultimate Iron Man

Tony Stark flew through the air, spinning and narrowly avoiding the windows and girders that lined his city. Beneath the Iron Man mask, his breathing was labored, but steady. This part of the city always made him uptight. He hated approaching the site where Project: Nexus had been deployed, as he rolled through the air, he could almost feel the death around him.

He landed on the roof of Stark Tower, having finished his patrol. He tapped a few buttons on his wrist and felt his mask slide back.

"Uh... Tony... Come in." The voice of Jim Rhodes rang loud and clear in Anthony's ear piece.

"Go ahead, Rhodes."

Stark was sipping from a straw connected to one of his air-intake valves. A constant stream of alcohol kept the intrepid billionaire brash and pain-free.

"There's a situation in midtown..."

His friend's voice was timid, much like that of a child who's bracing a parent for a bad grade.

Stark heaved a sigh and tapped the buttons on his suit once more.

"I'm on my way."

The helmet locked in place around Stark's devilish face. The HUD illuminated on the back of his faceplate, registering communications with Iron Man HQ in the sublevels of Stark Tower.

"This is Iron Man." He muttered. "Rhodes is having some trouble in midtown, we're going to have to delay that routine service."

His assistant, on the end of the line made a brief acknowledgment of his remarks.

Grinning to himself, Iron Man hurled himself off of the building.

"Full power to the jets on my mark."

The angle of his descent was such that he would collide with a full office building within seconds if he didn't take action.

"Mark."

The boots ignited with a roar, launching Iron Man into the air, narrowly avoiding a crowded office.

BWOOSH!

His trip was a short one, to the center of town, but it gave him plenty of time to think about the life he'd been leading. Recently, he'd grown far more introspective. He didn't know how much the public knew about Nexus, if anything at all, and he didn't want to say something he shouldn't.

Then again, that hadn't deterred him from making an appointment to appear on Larry King Live this evening.

"Thanks for showing up to the party."

Rhode's robotic voice shook Stark out of his daze, and the two were glaring at each other in mid-air.

"It's nice to see that my War Machine armor is being put to good use." Iron Man jested.

The War Machine armor was outfitted to directly connect to the robotic components that Tony Stark would give to paramilitary soldiers. Essentially, it was a black and silver version of his prototype armor, with enhanced weaponry and stronger armor.

Finding it too cumbersome and slow, Stark left the prototype chip as an unmarked envelope in his storage warehouse which Rhodes, of course, thought was a bomb of some sort.

"LOOK OUT!" War Machine said as he snapped into action. He launched himself forwards, firing a beam of energy at their opponent.

"Who are we fighting, anyway?" Iron Man asked, exasperated.




http://images.wikia.com/marveldatabase/images/b/b0/Rhino_%28Ultimate%29_001.jpg

CRASH!

"I'm gonna tear you boys apart!" The Rhino roared, demolishing part of a city block.

"This guy again?" Stark asked, exasperated.

"Again? AGAIN?! You've fought this thing before?"

Tony smirked from behind his helmet. Rhodes obviously hadn't been at this for very long, and it showed.

Narrowly dodging a car that had been hurled into the air, Stark barrel rolled towards the ground.

"The great thing about this armor we're wearing, Jimmy..."

Stark swooped under the gargantuan legs of the Rhino.

"...Is that most problems..."

BWOOSH!

Stark was above Rhino now, confusing the large, but dumb, behemoth.

"...Can be solved by taking them head on!"

"Eh?" Rhino's head shot up, his red eyes meeting Iron Man's white and blue ones. "Get down here!" He roared.

"Well, if you insist." Stark said.

VROO!

The jets in Iron Man's boots ignited and thrust him straight into Rhino, who was unable to withstand a straight shot. Within seconds, Iron Man had a firm grasp on one of the back plates that held many of Rhino's robotic components in place. With a simple tug, they were exposed.

BZZT-CLIK!

The machine gun mounted on Iron Man's forearm deployed and locked onto the wires and chips inside Rhino's back.

RATATATATATATATATA.

Bullets ripped through the processors and cables with ease, and the Rhino's robotic eyes slowly went dim.

"What now?" Rhodes asked, embarrassed.

"Now I fly back to Stark Tower and get ready for my interview while you wait for the proper authorities."

With that, Iron Man rocketed skywards, headed straight for his home.

Holy Hell. :wow:

Question: we only have two GMs? Or is Noon coming back for the RPG? If it is two, what happens if two GMs go for the same character? I understand that SSF will have to abstain from the voting on Spidey and leave the soul decision up to V. Also, in the case of Sensei and I going for Cap. What happens if SSF votes for Sensei, and V votes for me? Who will cast the tie-breaker if Noon doesn't come back?

You ****ers arn't gonna make these decisions easy are ya. And Byrd I'm sure Noon'll be coming back. Works been kicking her ass lately.

Only question I have is in regards to the 24 hour rule. Is that from the time the game's new ooc thread starts up or the first application for the character in question?

[Byrd Man]

Way we do it in OU, 24 hours from the first app.

it'll be 24 hours from the first app. So any apps after 8:31 won't be considered.

By the way, Op, I hope you won't take me editing my application as any kind of discouragement. I threw my application together 'cause I thought I'd be uncontested. If you're throwing your hat in the ring, I want to make something I'm proud of.

May the best man win. :yay:

Them's fightin' words.

[Eddie Brock]

Them's fightin' words.
Sssh. :yay:

In any event, if I don't get Gobby, I'll probably go for Ock - so it's all good.

Why do I feel the urge to apply for a third character? :confused:

Master Bruce is approved.
Optikal is approved.

Yeah, that's me. Your amazing, spectacular, all around cool Spider-Man.

I'm hanging by Fred tonight, who is easily the friendliest looking gargoyle in the Big Apple. He doesn't talk much though. I jump from my makeshift hammock to take a seat beside him.

"How do you sit like this all day?"

He doesn't respond.

I'm about to say something extraordinarily witty - of course - when the sound of police sirens hit my cuddly ears. I have that factoid on good authority, by the way, and no, not from my Aunt.

I sigh and give Fred a pat on the shoulder.

It's got to be tough being a gargoyle in this city.

"Duty calls, my stalwartly stoney friend." I shoot a webline to the nearest building. "See you in another life, brother."

Ten seconds later and I'm swinging through the city.

Cost of web fluid? Fifty bucks a cartridge.
Cost of web shooters? Twohundred bucks per wrist.
Web-slinging? Priceless.

"Woohoo!" I call out in my deep man-voice just recently struck by full-on puberty. "Woohoo!"

An hour and a half and eight beers later.......

I leave the gang and grab my bag as I head up to my room. I throw the bag on my bed and walk out onto the balcony overlooking the backyard. I take a deep breath and start replaying everything thats happened. I really don't know how long I spent out there but the sound of laughter is heard coming down the hall and my door opens.

"Oh **** War you missed some funny ****. Kurt got shnockered again and started dancing around the kitchen singing some german folk song. He passed out soon after so John and I dragged him into his room and threw him on his bed."

She falls back onto my bed and stretches. She looks back up to me and see that I havent moved.

"Whats wrong?"

I shake my head and turn around.

"It's Piotr, iv been trying to figure out why he would just up and leave us right in the middle of a fight. And lets not mention Jean...."

"Eh Jean always shows up naked and confused, thats her thing I guess. And don't worry about the Tin Man, im sure he'll be back."

"Its not just that. I just can't shake the feeling something bad is about to happen. This was the feeling I had before Apocalypse reared his ugly mug."

Silence settles on the room. Just mentioning Apocalypse's name is enough to bring those memories surging back in vivid detail. Ali gets up and walks over to me. She wraps her arms around my waist and looks up into my eyes.

"Well let it happen. We've gotten through it before we can sure as hell do it again."

"I know but......"

She places a finger on my lips silencing me.

"No buts...."

She kisses me so hard that it hurts. She finally breaks the kiss and smiles.

"Lets go to bed. We'll deal with everything else tomorrow."

Before I can say anything she takes my hand and drags me back into my room. As we fall into bed I hear the low rumble of aproaching storm clouds.

Character you would like to play: Steve Rogers, Captain America.

Powers and a brief description of the character in proper English:
After signing up for a mysterious experimental procedure, timid Steve Rogers was injected with the Super Soldier formula. Transformed into the legendary Captain America, Rogers was an invaluable part of the Allies' victory in WW2. On his last mission, Captain America sacrificed himself for the lives of thousands, falling into the freezing Atlantic. Recently, his frozen body was found and brought back to life. Adjusting to life in the new millenium, Captain America now helps the world alongside the Ultimates, with his superhuman strength, speed, agility and stamina.

Three reasons why you have chosen that character:
1. I loved playing him for the period of time I did so.
2. I got a lot of kudos for my portrayal of Cap, so I must have been doing something right.
3. After I started playing him, Steve became somewhat of a poster boy for giving characters a chance for me. I disliked him to begin with, but I've now grown to love the guy.

What can you bring to this game? A dedicated player experienced with the character. Hopefully, plenty of badassery and a good leader for the Ultimates.

How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: I can post quite often a day when interacting with other players.

The world I fought for...the world I died for...

It's in danger once again.

It's turning into a world where gangsters can rule nations and almost rule cities, in which hotels and apartment houses and celebrated restaurants are owned by men who made their money out of brothels, in which a screen star can be the finger man for a job, and the nice man down the hall is a boss of the numbers racket; a world where a judge with a cellar full of child pornography can send a man to jail for jaywalking, where the mayor of your town may have condoned murder as an instrument of money-making, where no man can walk down a dark street in safety because law and order are things we talk about but refrain from practicing; a world where you may witness a holdup in broad daylight and see who did it, but you will fade quickly back into the crowd rather than tell anyone, because the holdup men may have friends with long guns.

A world where people have abilities. Godlike abilities that allow them to do things the most brilliant of writers could never even think of. And some of these people use these abilities to destroy. To steal. To murder.

It's a world where the American Dream is in danger each and every day.

"A world that needs Captain America."

ULTIMATE MARVEL RPG VOL.2 SIGN-UP FORM

Screen Name: Byrd Man

Character you would like to play:Captain America

Powers and a brief description of the character in proper English:

From Wiki:

Steve Rogers started off as a frail volunteer for scientific experimenting on behalf of the U.S. government. He underwent extensive surgery and steroid treatment and training to become Captain America and fighting the Nazis during World War II. He would eventually come into battle with Herr Kleiser who introduced a prototype atomic bomb and intercontinental missile that were made with alien technology meant to target the White House. However they were too late to stop the process from commencing, but Captain America managed to get to the missile as it launched. In a successful attempt to stop it in mid air, he fell into the sea and was presumed dead. Years after, the body of Captain America was found in the Arctic Ocean frozen in a block of ice. It was as if he hadn't aged a day. It is unknown whether it was due to cryogenic preservation or the super soldier serum that prevented him from aging. Now, Captain America leads The Ultimates into battle!

Powers: Super human strength, agility, stamina, and a fearless leading ability.

Three reasons why you have chosen that character:

1. I was told I played him reasonably well.

2. He's American, dammit! AMERICAN! :cmad:

3. See 1 and 2.

What can you bring to this game? Captain America

How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: As much as needed.

Do you know how to post pictures on the hype boards: Do you think this letter on my head stands for "France"?!...Uhh, I mean yeah.

Provide a small sample post for your character, about 4 paragraphs with at least one line of dialouge:

22:00 Hours
Above Iraqi Airspace

What happened to my world?

That's a question I wonder almost every day. People are no longer respectful to things they once held sacred. The American flag is ridiculed and spit on by American citizens, people sue for having to say God in the pledge of allegiance, the president is criticized for trying to defend America against our enemies. Youngsters walk around with their underwear showing and listening to obscene nursery rhymes they call music.

While I do realize there is much wrong with the world, there is some good. Sixty years after they couldn't eat in a diner, negroes now have a president. I suppose this world can't be that bad.

But I do know that it is not the America I lived and "died" in, I do know that this is still my country.

The plane rattles and shakes as we inch closer to the drop zone.

I don't mean to sound like an old fart, but that's how I feel about America now. There is so much that I don't understand about the world now, I guess that's why I continue to fight.

While almost everything I've know has changed, combat still hasn't.

People accuse me of being a hot head, of starting trouble. They don't understand.

Fighting is all I know now. It's how I fit in this world.

Fighting makes me feel normal. It's sad to say it, but when the chips are down and the bullets are whizzing, I'm back home.

I look up into the cargo hold and see the light turn green.

Making my way to the plane's door. I slide my shield on my back and leap out the door.

My country needs me again and I am more than willing to take up the call.Alright before I say who gets approved I want to tell you all that any complaint posts or PMs will not be acknowledged. There are plenty of characters out there.

Sensei is approved. I'll post my decision for Spidey tomorrow.

Okay. Now that's it's all said and done I'll take my leave from the RPG. Cap was the only character I wanted to play, so best of luck to you all.

[Venom160]

And that, my friends, is why I didn't want the 24 hour rule in this game.

[Byrd Man]

The 24 hour rule didn't have anything to do with me not wanting to join the RPG. If anything, the rule is the sole reason I posted the app. Sensei had already beat me to the punch, so either way I was boned.

Screen Name: Syn (Mercenary)

Character you would like to play: Ritchie Gilmore, Prodigy

Powers and a brief description of the character in proper English:
Superhuman strength and durability, near-flight leaping ability, gliding, agility, peak speed for humans.

Ritchie Gilmore is Midtown High School's biggest Jock. When he's not beating on the smart kids in the bathroom for their homework, he's going to parties and living the high life with his friends. Ritchie's mom died when he was only a kid, his memories of her are faint. He lives with his dad in Queens and tries to spend as little time home as possible. If life's a party, why stay in?

As for how he gets his powers? Wait and see...

Three reasons why you have chosen that character:
1. I want to play a teenager. It's fun.
2. Prodigy is a pretty interesting guy in the comics. I mean, when they made a law for superhumans to register in 616, most people were either signing or running. Ritchie? No...he got piss drunk and told Iron Man to **** off. Stupid, yes. But we all respect a guy with balls.
3. Imagine Flash Thompson as a superhero.

What can you bring to this game?
I can bring whatever the hell I want. :cmad:

Midtown High, Homecoming Game

"WE LOVE YOU, RICH!" A girl shouts.
"GO, RICH GO!"

The crowd cheers me. I hear their chants, their cries, their love. It's all for me. All for me. Their words inspire me, act as fuel for my adrenaline. I grip the football tight in my arm, pressing it hard against my chest. It becomes part of me as I run, moving across the field with lightening speed. As I move it all becomes a blur. The sounds run together, the voices hard to pick out. In my peripheral vision I only see yellow and red, blobs of out team's color jumping and moving about.

As I look forward, I see them coming toward me. The saftey and the linebacker, headed right for me. A grin comes across my face as I brace myself for my maneuver. Everything goes into slow motion as they come on me, going to grab me and bring me down. I turn my back, spinning around the linebacker as he jumps to tackle. As he passes me, I hear him hit the ground, grumbling in rage at his failure.

"Got it!" I hear the other shout, moving on me without a second to spare. He's fast, too fast. He slams into me hard and ends my momentum, stopping my run for just long enough to bring me to a halt. As I force forward, he grabs and rips at my body, tugging at me with brut strength. This guy's good. "Go down, *******!" He growls, continue to rip at me like a lion. I press forward, one foot in front of the other, nearly dragging him.

I stare only at the ground, looking at the green turf below me. Suddenly, my vision sees it. My luck pervails again and I cheer. I step over the white line and I cheer; I'm in. As I walk in the endzone, the saftey finally brings me down. I drop to my knees and continue to shout. The crowd cheers and I smile proudly. "TOUCHDOWN!"

The player releases me and I raise instantly, nearly getting to my feet in a jump. I throw the ball down on the ground and throw my arms around in a frenzy. The crowd cheers me and I watch the scoreboard change, home 25, visitors 17. "Nice try," I say as I pass the other player making his way back to his bench. "But if you keep letting me through like this, they're gonna think I'm paying you." I laugh loudly as I Jog across the field and head for the sidelines, still in a daze from my achievement.

"And number 43, Richard Gilmore brings in a second touchdown for the Midtown Tigers. With thirty seconds left in the fourth quarter, I'd have to say this game is the Bulls' to lose." The announcer says, broadcasting my victory over the entire stadium.

As I walk back to the bench, my teammates pat my shoulders and hit my helmet, each congratulating me and praising me. "You're a monster, Gilmore." Flash says, laughing loudly. "They're done, now. No way they can come back from that."

"Just don't screw it up, Thompson!" The coach yells, walking over toward us. "Get out there and gimme some hustle, dammit."

"Yes, coach." He says, putting on his helmet and running out with the rest of the defensive line. "Good play, Gilmore." He says, turning to me. "You're on fire again."

"Thanks, coach." I say with a grin. "I try."

[Venom160]

[Eddie Brock]

ULTIMATE MARVEL RPG VOL.2 SIGN-UP FORM

Screen Name: Eddie Brock

Character you would like to play: Danny Rand aka Iron Fist

Powers and a brief description of the character in proper English: Danny possesses the ability to focus his chi in a variety of ways. The most well-known way is to channel it into his fists, making them impervious to pain and as strong as metal. However, he can also heal himself through meditation. It's possible for him to 'charge' a projectile's chi - thus making it like his Iron Fist.

Danny Rand is the son of Wendell Rand, a multibillionaire corporate CEO. However, Danny and his father stopped talking after Danny got his high school sweetheart, Colleen, pregnant. Danny, Colleen, and their daughter, Heather, struggle to get by sometimes. After years of training, Danny developed the power of the Iron Fist, using it on the criminal underground. However, his quest has brought him at odds with the police many times.

Three reasons why you have chosen that character:
1. He was my first RPG character ever. I didn't stick with him then, but I plan to stick with him now.

2. I intend to make Danny a character with real issues: he has trouble paying the rent, his relationship with his father is nonexistent, Colleen is tired of his run-ins with the law, etc.

3. Four words: Ultimate Heroes for Hire.

What can you bring to this game? I have thoroughly enjoyed all my Seasons with this RPG, and I don't plan on this new Volume being any different. The past week or two has given me time to come up with plans, and I'm excited to get started.

How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: As many as are needed of me.

Do you know how to post pictures on the hype boards:
http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/0/77/216809-65781-iron-fist.jpg

Provide a small sample post for your character, about 4 paragraphs with at least one line of dialouge:

I wince as the shot burns my throat on the way down. I don't drink hard liquor regularly, so I'm not used to the sensation. It's a good burn though - like hot chocolate on a snowy day. It takes your mind off other sources of pain. Plus, it just makes you feel good.

"Hey!" a voice behind me barks as I'm tapped rigorously on the shoulder. I turn around, my drink still in hand. The man in front of me eyeballs me angrily. "The boys over there tell me that you're Iron Fist," he explains accusingly.

I look over his shoulder at a group of whispering thugs. They're watching intently. I sigh. "Look, I'm just here for a drink, man," I explain calmly as I start to turn back around. He grabs me on the shoulder. "Have it your way," I mutter as I put my glass down.

Spinning, I deliver a quick hook to the man's chin. As he stumbles back, I kick out his legs. He falls to the floor with a dull thud. I clench my fists and enter a ready-stance.

"If you're looking for a fight, I'll be happy to oblige," I explain to the surrounding patrons. I could use the chance to hit something, anyway, I think to myself. They eye me cautiously, and I watch for someone to make his move. They always wait until they think you're not...

I harden my fist and deliver a crushing uppercut to the man who charges at me with a pool cue. The sound of metal clanging rings out. I don't feel a thing.

Two down.

ULTIMATE MARVEL RPG VOL.2 SIGN-UP FORM

Screen Name: Eddie Brock

Character you would like to play: Norman Osborn aka The Green Goblin

Powers and a brief description of the character in proper English: As a result of the explosion during Norman's experiment, his DNA is forever mutated. At first uncontrollable, Norman now possesses the ability to control his transformations into the Goblin: a hulking creature with incredible strength, agility, and pyrokinesis. Norman's most dangerous power, however, is his ability to manipulate.

Norman Osborn was trying desperately to recreate the Super-Soldier Formula in order to save his funding. Naturally, he was in disbelief when Peter Parker was transformed into Spider-Man by a bite from a spider infected with an experimental OsCorp serum: OZ. In an attempt to recreate Peter's accident gone horribly wrong, Norman was turned into the Green Goblin. He has had multiple encounters with Spider-Man and SHIELD, and he is currently in custody at the Triskelion.

Three reasons why you have chosen that character:
1. I wasn't going to apply for Spidey, but I knew I had to play someone in his universe. After consideration, Osborn seemed like the only viable choice.

2. I plan to make Norman a threat to the Ultimate Marvel Universe at large - not just the arachnid-themed parts of it.

3. Two words: Ultimate Thunderbolts (V. 2).

"I'll have your head for this, Fury," I threaten from within my cell. Three metal walls with a plasma barrier instead of bars. I'm impressed that they expect to need such high security with me. It's not exactly a wrong expectation, either. No one locks Norman Osborn up in a cage. No one.

Fury puts his hands on his hips and replies, "Careful, Osborn. Talk like that will only make matters worse." He doesn't smirk - the smug bastard - but I know he wants to. He's been trained for years in the art of getting under people's skin. Unfortunately, even I am not immune. However, I can control my rage. Save it for later, if you will.

"What could possibly be worse? You make that sniveling swine Octavius my cellmate?" I ask challengingly. Fury has nothing to threaten me with. As much as he'd like to see me suffer with Octavius, he also knows that our combined intellect would eventually guide us to combining our efforts. Even this cell cannot hold the combined strength - and cunning - of the two of us. "At this point, I have nothing to lose."

"See, that's the problem with guys like you," Fury remarks. "You always think that. But, see, you forget about your son."

Harry. What a pathetic failure of a son. That is, until the accident changed him. Here I thought I was the only one to benefit. It wasn't until much later that I learned he had been transformed into something new. Something a father can be proud of. Even so, the little brat continues to disappoint. Were it not for his intervention on the White House lawn, I would not be in my current situation.

"Why would that concern me?" I ask calmly, concealing my true thoughts. "He's grown up to be just like his mother. Little bastard stabbed me in the back twice - once literally! The only reason I'd want him alive is so I could kill him myself!" That part is true. However, I have renewed faith in my son. Maybe he can become more than he ever was - like his old man.

"Funny. 'Cause what I heard is that you were demanding to see him not that long ago," Fury thinks aloud. I had forgotten about that incident. I was on the brink of losing it. I've since regaining my composure. Even so, Fury has me in a tight spot. Check.

"Like I said, I want to squeeze the life out of him with my bare hands," I counter. Fury appears slightly annoyed. Our never-ending chess game continues.

As Fury is leaving, he calls back, "Just remember not to drop the soap, Norman. There are some sick people in here." The door closes, and I am alone with my thoughts once again.

Thanks for the approval on Spidey. I think all of the applications were all great. The decision couldn't have been easy.

I do have a request, though (and I fully expect the answer to be "no."). Is there any way (any way at all) we could make it possible for me to the arc involving The Suit and Eddie Brock? I literally have no idea how we could do it, but the Black Suit saga is an arc I've wanted to do for, y'know, forever. The one thing I don't want to do is go all the way back to the arc in USM, basically totally going right back to the start of the character. Methinks that'd be a bad idea.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. :yay:

Fair enough. I merely thought that since the game hasn't started yet, that particular cut-off point could be adjusted, since it doesn't affect anyone other than the player writing Spidey. But still, you're GM and it's fair ruling.

But still, you're GM and it's fair ruling.Yes but what about if someone comes along wanting to play Venom or Carnage? They would have to go back and read SSF's custom arc. Wasn't that the point of this reboot? To eliminate the need of having to go back read previous rpg arcs to play a character?

Yes but what about if someone comes along wanting to play Venom or Carnage? They would have to go back and read SSF's custom arc. Wasn't that the point of this reboot? To eliminate the need of having to go back read previous rpg arcs to play a character?

True.

Then again, that could be said about everyone's characters two days into the game. Whatever I do with Captain America, the next person to play him will have to read up on him/ask what's been done.

But, I'm just arguing semantics. I don't disagree with you on any particular point.

[Venom160]

I understand and I'm not trying to start any ****. I just defending my decision. I don't think it's a valid reason to rewrite cutoffs that were agreed upon before this reboot happened.

Oh, totally. No resentment on my part.

[Eddie Brock]

I have to agree with V160. We all have arcs that we dream of doing, but sometimes the logistics simply aren't possible. And, for what it's worth, I was toying with the idea of playing Venom - especially now that the Thor temptation is off the table.

[Blacklight]

If I may, why doesn't he do a sequel or do his own version of War of the Symbiotes in which Peter once again gains the Black Suit? At the very least, he can do a flashback of some sort that, while faithful to the original story, can be slightly (and I mean slightly) altered, can he not? Spider-Man9x17 did his own story where Peter was once again in possession of the suit in a string of events that was orchestrated by Harry Osborn. He can do something like that too.

Spider-Man9x17 did his own story where Peter was once again in possession of the suit in a string of events that was orchestrated by Harry Osborn. He can do something like that too.
I hope he does do his own War of the Symbiotes. It would sure justify picking up Venom. :hehe:

[Blacklight]

I hope he does do his own War of the Symbiotes. It would sure justify picking up Venom. :hehe:
If I'm not mistaken, Spider-Man accidentally regains the black suit in the story right? At least until the Ultimates came into the picture? I don't see why that, in his own version, he simply has Peter in possession of the suit longer than the comics version to write whatever means he wanted accomplished, before finishing the story with Eddie getting it back and there being a huge fight between the two of them and Gwarnage that results in the suit merging with the Carnage suit, which would result in A) Venom gaining the Spider-symbol like the game, or B) Him becoming a big, huge, weird-eyed monster like the comics

[Saved]

Not to mention the fact that Spider-man9x17 did a story with the black suit in Season I of this rpg which was after the Venom cut off in USM. No need to go back and rewrite established continuity for the sake of rewriting it simply because one person wants to. It's an RPG. Do the stories you want, just make them make sense in current continuity and it'll fit alright.

Peter only had the black suit for five minutes in the Venom arc anyway. Not like you're rehashing old stuff that much. Keep in mind, I'm not a fan of this idea (if you didn't know already.) But I'm not Spider-Man, so it's not my say what is done with him. But I am a member of the RPG which means I'll always rule on the side of continuity. :up:

If Eddie goes to college and will be there in a few seasons...I say go Venom. ;)

An interesting tact to take for a storyarc might be that Peter uses the suit again after Venom resurfaces. Great ideas so far. I knew about Spidey9X17's arc, I just didn't know that it came Post-Venom. *strokes invisi-beard*

Thanks for the ideas, guys.

[Eddie Brock]

I have to.

ULTIMATE MARVEL RPG VOL.2 SIGN-UP FORM

Screen Name: Eddie Brock

Character you would like to play: Eddie Brock aka Venom

Powers and a brief description of the character in proper English: Naturally, the Venom suit has the ability to change its shape and conform to its user - granting him or her whatever is needed. As a result of the time spent with Spider-Man, the suit 'learned' how to use all of Spider-Man's abilities - even to the point of creating organic webs.

Eddie Brock Jr. suffered a tragedy as a young child. Unlike his best friend, Peter Parker, Eddie did not deal well with the death of his parents. Still, he managed to rise above and continue with his life. A student at ESU, he worked very closely with Doctor Connors. Eddie had been trying to recreate his father's work - especially the Venom suit, an attempt to cure cancer. After a fateful reunion with Peter Parker, Eddie found that his work had been stolen. It didn't take long until Eddie realized that Peter Parker, who was also Spider-Man, stole the suit and destroyed it. Luckily, Eddie had a backup suit which he donned to enact his revenge on Peter.

Three reasons why you have chosen that character:
1. Eddie is my namesake, and I chose it based on this incarnation of the character. Making Eddie a former friend of Peter's was nothing short of a stroke of genius, and it opens up a whole new dynamic between Spidey and Venom.

2. With Gwarnage officially part of the continuity, I can't help but want to write (along with MM) my own version of 'War of the Symbiotes.'

3. I can't help myself. Venom is such a poorly written character in modern comics that I can see where complaints about him are coming from. However, I hope to write Venom the way I think he was meant to be, and hopefully that will make others realize his potential.

What can you bring to this game? Enthusiasm out the wazoo. I honestly didn't think I'd pick up a third character, but all this talk of Venom and symbiotes swayed me. Besides, I've never played Venom for any considerable length of time.

How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: As many as are needed.

Provide a small sample post for your character, about 4 paragraphs with at least one line of dialouge:

I need to feed soon. The hunger is burning in the pit of my stomach, tearing at my insides like a million tiny blades. Pain courses through my body in waves as the Suit is forced to feed off me for temporary nourishment. My skin is literally peeled from muscle tissue as the Suit consumes it. It won't be satisfied. It's never satisfied.

Neither am I, anymore, it seems. My entire existence - my entire being - is devoted solely to the destruction of Peter Parker. For going behind my back, for betraying the memories and works of our fathers, and for trying to destroy the Suit, I must destroy him. And the Suit? Well, the Suit needs his DNA to survive. Without it, the Suit is reduced to consuming me. Soon, I fear there will be no Eddie Brock left.

So I feed. It buys me precious time. Once I have enacted my revenge on Peter Parker, I will allow the Suit to feed on him, and I will be free. I've spent many nights figuring out what I'm going to do when my crusade is done. For the past year, it's been my entire life. It will be strange living in a world without a Spider to squash. Still, I have my own hopes, my own dreams, and I'm entitled to them.

But for now, I must feed.

As I pass a darkened street corner, I spot fresh meat. Two men. One of them is considerably chunkier. I decide to set my sights on him. I approach, and the two men eyeball me suspiciously. They're huddled closely. A drug deal, perhaps? It's of no consequence to me. I can afford to think of nothing else - save for feeding. With a primal growl, I allow the Suit to take over. Before it closes over my eyes, I see the terrified expressions on their faces.

"NYAAAAAAAARGH!"

Screen Name: O'l Canucklehead

Character you would like to play: James "Logan" "Lucky Jim" Howlett A.K.A. WOLVERINE

Powers and a brief description of the character in proper English: Wolverine carries a unique healing factor that allows him to regenerate damaged tissue and cells at an incredible rate. Also he is gifted with enhanced senses akin to animals. His reflexes are near human perfection as is his strength. His bones have been laced with adimantium, a rare, near indestructable metal, by the government agency "WEAPON X". He has been trained for many years to be a brutal and efficent killing machine, however it apears that there was little training needed as his animal instincts and near uncontrolable rage can drive him to defeat nearly any opponent. Wolverine has been trained in many forms of martial arts, with this combined with his other various attributes Wolverine has proven to be a force to be reckoned with.


Three reasons why you have chosen that character:

1. For those who know me, Wolverine is obviously my favorite character. I know almost all there is to know about him and love getting any chance to play him.

2. With the many similarities between the character and myself I feel as if I can add a personal touch instead of it feeling distant and without connection to the author.

3. I have played him in this RPG before, in fact I believe I have the longest standing record for playing Wolverine here. I would love to continue the work I did so long ago.

What can you bring to this game? Shiny claws, lethal blows, and grandma's old fashion fruit cake.

A small town in eastern Canada 12:00 Am

Sitting at the bar with my hand on the bottle, the cold condensation running over my fingers, I can see the usual crowd going about things in the usual way. I sniff at the air just to familarize myself with each scent around me. The scent of mud and rock wafts in from my left, the guys at the end of the bar are obviously construction workers, they have their work cloths still on from the day and they drink what they can afford. The waitress serves them another pitcher of light beer, they thank her in the most disgusting "hey baby" way you can think of and pinch her ass as she walks away.

Stale Brute after shave and cigaret smoke fills the air from my right, even without my senses I could have picked this guy out of a crowd. He slowly sips on some old whisky straight up. He has the look of an tenured alchoholic. I can faintly catch the scent of apples on him, not your grocery store apples but the wild apple trees that gows a little south of here. He's not from this town.

Directly behind me I can smell cheap perfume, the kind you can buy from any drug store in town. Au De Skank. She probobly picked it up off the same rack she got that gum she's smackin so loud. Every click makes me wana wire her jaw shut....or at least provide the need for it. She is all over about six different guys, and judging by the way their lookin at her I don't think they would have a problem letting that continue the whole night through. They all disgust me.

I get a good read on everyone and lift the bottle to my lips. The lager fills my mouths and runs off my cheeck a little. I go to wipe my mouth when my nose is suddenly hit with a new stench...blood. It hasn't quite reached me yet but I smell it near by. I wait for a moment, tracking the closeness of the scent in my head. The scent combines with expensive cololgne, the hundred dollar a bottle stuff. As I hear footsteps getting closer I turn my eyes to the door, I change my body language to look like nothing more than sitting at the stool, but in all actuality I am preparing to attack just in case. The door flies open and there he stands, dressed in a sharp suit, hair slicked back with a toothpick in his mouth. As he breaths I can smell the blood stronger. The sick bastard had blood on his toung, and I have no doubt that its not his own. He turns around, looking in all directions and finaly he spots....me.

His boots knock hard on the wood floor of the bar until he is standing right behind me. He looks over my shoulder at the bartender and orders a bourbon and coke. I lift my head up and say....

"Why bourbon and coke? Which one sets off the taste of blood?"

I hear him let out a slight chuckle, and he replies,

"Well you should know. But thats not why I ordered it."

"Oh yea?" I say curiously, "Than why is it bub?"

He sits down on the stool as the bartender hands him his glass. He takes a sip and says,

"Its what I always get on your birthday. That or a wild Indian Princess."

My blood boils with rage, yet I have no idea why. And to make matters worse the bartender decides to speak up.

"How do you make a Wild Indian Princess?"

He looks at the man, laughs a little and says,

"Sorry pal, I don't know how to make a Wild Indian Princess" He looks directly at me and says, "I only know how to break one."

Without thinking, even for a second, I jump from my chair, lunge out at him with my claws extended and screaming,

"CREEEEEEEEEEEED!"

As I tackle him he whispers,

"Happy birthday Jimmy."

Cafe El tigre, Downtown Manhattan

I awake suddenly, my eyes fluttering as I come to. I hear the sound of cups clanking together, people laughing and talking. As I look around the area I realize where I am. I'm in a cafe, sitting in a lone booth by the corner of the restaurant. I hold a cup of coffee in my hands, it's cold. I've been here for a while, apparently.

"Excuse me, sir." A voice says in a plesant tone. "Sir?" It calls again. I turn to my left and see a waitress staring at me with a strange expression on her face. I smile awkwardly to her, giving her the impression I recognize her.

"Oh, yes." I say, acknowledging her. I look quickly to her chest and see the nametag over the left pocket on her shirt. "Yes, Janice." I say smoothly.

"Yes, sir, you asked me for the bill." She places a black sleeve holding a reciept and a credit card and places it on the table in front of me. She gives me a forced smile, "Have a nice day," she tells me, walking away briskly. Great, that wasn't awkard.

I take the black sleeve and pull out the credit card. Examining it closely, I notice it's familiar. It's mine. I take the reciept and look at the bottom. It's signed. "Steven Grant." So...he picked up the bill.

I reach into the pants pocket of the expensive suit I wear and pull out my wallet. I take the credit card and the reciept and slip it inside, putting them in their designated pockets. I pull out a few dollars and place them on the table, making sure to leave a decent tip. "Alright," I say, slipping my wallet back into my pants. "That should do it." I rise from my seat and stare out the window at the skyline in the distance. I see the sun fade behind the skyscrapers and suddenly my stomach sinks.

"Not much time now." I say to myself with worry. "I've got minutes." As I move to walk toward the door, I stick my hands in my jacket pockets. Just a habit, really. Something I always do. As I reach around inside, I feel a piece of folded paper. I grip it tightly and pull it out. What's this, I wonder, opening the paper carefully. As I read the paper, I see it is a note, written in my hand writing. Well...not exactly mine.

"-Marc,
Pick up flowers for Marlene. Tomorrow is her birthday."

Marlene. Our girlfriend. Funny, I'm awake so little nowadays I nearly forget I'm dating. I look to the watch on my wrist and check the time. Seven thirty. I have an hour or so left. I'll swing by the flower shop on the way home while I still have time.

I push open the door and I hear the bell ring as I walk out onto the sidewalk. As I walk down the street to my car, I feel the headache in the back of my head brewing. He's waking up. "Stay in there." I growl, pulling the keys from my pocket. "I need an hour, dammit. Just gimme that much." I put the key into my car door and open it, carefully slipping inside my corvette and closing the door behind me. As I put the key into the ignition of the car, I feel tired. Very tired. "No..." I whisper as my eyes roll back into my head. "No..."

****

Awake. I feel the cool keys between my fingers. Instantly, I remember where I am. I've been watching. I turn the keys and start the car, listening closely to the familiar hum of the engine. "Sorry, Marc." I say with a grin, putting the car into drive. "There's work to be done."

Character you would like to play: T'Challa, King of Wakanda

Powers and a brief description of the character in proper English: Although T'Challa has no powers, he has been trained in almost every form of combat known to man since he could walk. T'Challa was the leader of the opposition during the Wakandan civil war, during which time he was backed by the American government. Since his appointment to power, he has proved a fair and just leader, and has kept a steady flow of vibranium into the US.

Three reasons why you have chosen that character:
1. I've thought up an awesome back story for Wakanda, which I want canon before anyone else.

There is silence in the jungle as my unit moves forward. There are five as well as T'Challa himself. They were handpicked as the best of the best long ago, and tonight, they prove themselves. In their hands, they carry nothing but the ceremonial glaives. Whilst being ornamental, they are still sharpened enough to be deadly in the hands of a true warrior.

Two of M'Baku's men are standing guard on either side of the gates to the small military encampment that had been set up in the days following the death of T'Chana. Before a word can be muttered, five shadows rise up and strike them down with a silent fury. Their bodies were swiftly dragged into the treeline.

The five shadows move slowly into the camp, finally splintering off from each other. Three move to the left and the other two move towards a smaller tent, located near the back of the camp. One of M'Baku's officers sits in the tent, headphones on his head that connect to a wireless radio. His throat is slit, and his rasping corpse pushed off of the chair. The two men swiftly set about changing the settings.

"Foxhound, this is Charlie-Niner, are you receiving me, over?" T'Challa speaks into the microphone.

"Charlie-Niner, this is Foxhoud, receiving you loud and clear, over,"

"The UN Operation White Ape is a go, I repeat Operation White Ape is a go, over," T'Challa says.

"Message received Charlie-Niner, over and out,"

T'Challa sits back in his chair and smiles a dark, melancholy smile as the screams of the rest of the camp reach his ears.

Magneto got careless and got captured by S.H.E.I.L.D.
A little Deus Ex Machina?
Yes.
Impossible?
No.
Also a segway into The first Thor post as you will see tommorow,.
First of all, deus ex machina ties up loose ends with a plot... it doesn't completely end a story arc. I tend to think I am a pretty laid back individual when it comes to this stuff but, some of this stuff doesn't make sense. For example: why would Magneto attack the Triskellion out of the blue? What's more, why would he do so without any back up?

Stopping only for the ocasional massacre of a village, after which he would raid there food stores and rest for a while.

There aren't many "villages" in the United States. What's more, there aren't many that could simply be massacred with Magneto being on his merry way... only to massacre another one.

Magneto would hover along... destroy a TOWN... sit down, enjoy some Hostess Fruit Pies amidst the bodies of the store patrons whom he'd just massacred (without being attacked by anyone or law enforcement) and just be on his way, maybe to do it again.

Then, out of nowhere, Nick Fury shows up. Now, speaking technically, I think it would make more sense for him to be... y'know... with the Ultimates. But, that's just me. And, then, how CONVENIENT! Fury has a gun invented by Tony Stark! I probably should've been consulted, but **** that ****, yo. Let's just ****in' wing it for now. Then Fury produces his stick, in some sort of prelude to a gay porn film:

" If you want to play it the hard way we'll play it the hard way."
Fury Took a stick out of his pocket and aimed it at Magneto.
"A Stick is your weapon? You Humans are even more stupid then I Thou- Arggggh"

What's more, there are spelling and grammar errors throughout the post. You capitalize random letters... a lot.

I'll talk to my fearless leader, Venom160 when he comes online to see what we ought to do.

[SenseiofCheese]

It's not that, believe me. It's that you know what's happening, you just don't believe you're actually reading it.

It's times like these I wish I could 'fly over the Americas at my top speed, only stopping to slaughter the occasional village and raid their food supplies and rest'.

[Saved]

Strangely, I was most insulted by the fact that Fury did something himself for once. :huh:

[Mr. Marko]

Is there a quality control policy here? Cause there should be. I'd love to play Magneto, but...

[SenseiofCheese]

Can anyone honestly say they didn't see this coming when they read those apps for Thor and Magneto and thought to themselves "Oh, approved. Really?"

Oh ****! :wow:

[Venom160]

Odinson I seriously recommend going to previous seasons of any of the rpgs here and read up. Practice your storytelling and writing skills. Also I think you should start with a lesser known character. That way it'll be easier to gain some experience without drawing in such negative feedback. Don't be discouraged though cause we all started out as newbies and most of our first posts was like that to some extent.

[Eddie Brock]

Gentlemen. There's no need to turn this into bullying. I think we all agree that the quality of the posts needs to be improved, but it would be wrong to just all gang up on the kid.

[absonic93]

so Ultimates cut off point is Gods and Monsters? that's interesting. Does that mean ol' USA is gonna turn into an invasion ground soon?

[absonic93]

app for wasp. Now i feel like I have the opportunity to really shape Janet the way I wanted to.

SCREEN NAME: absonic93

CHARACTER YOU WOULD LIKE TO PLAY: Janet Pym (The Wasp)

POWERS AND A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE CHARACTER IN PROPER ENGLISH: Janet and has the power to reduce her body size, and in doing so, she sprouts insect-like wings that allow her to fly. While in this size, she is also able to generate a "wasp" sting which she discharges through her hands. On occasion she has been known to be able to use her wasp stings while at full size. Janet has these powers because she has the mutant gene.

Janet is the wife of Hank Pym, although they have always had a rocky relationship. Her DNA was used in his growth serum that allowed him to become Giant Man.

THREE REASONS WHY YOU HAVE CHOSEN THAT CHARACTER:
1.) She's a major part of the Ultimates.
2.) Her insecurity leads to great character development.
3.) Janet kicks ass. (she brought down the Hulk!)

WHAT CAN YOU BRING TO THIS GAME:

an intriguing storyline

HOW MANY TIMES DO YOU INTEND ON POSTING A DAY IN THE RPG:

As much as I can

DO YOU KNOW HOW TO POST PICTURES ON THE HYPE BOARDS:

That's a rather personal question, don't ya think?

PROVIDE A SMALL SAMPLE POST FOR YOU CHARACTER, ABOUT 4 PARAGRAPHS WITH AT LEAST ONE LINE OF DIALOGUE:


Janet Pym was alone. She couldn't connect with her team mates, or for that matter, she couldn't even connect with her boyfriend. Night after night, listening to Steve ranting about how inappropriate that girl's attire is, or the disrespect coming from America's teens, Jan felt distant. It was like dating her father-except that he has bulging biceps, and a rock hard six pack.
Although despite what the rest of the Ultimates would say, Jan wasn't that superficial. Steve was really there for her when she was in trouble. She didn't approve of his methods, but she knew his intentions were noble.
"Jan" Hank said from across the table. Janet awoke from her trance.
"Oh, I'm sorry Hank. I've just had a lot on my mind lately. What were we discussing?"
"You were gonna explain to me what you've been up to lately in the Ultimates"
Jan's mouth began with a story about a terrorist the Ultimates had just apprehended, while her mind wandered on about Steve. Was she doing the right thing? She had connected well with Steve considering they were both outcasts from the team, members who maybe didn't fit in so well.
"Jan, the Ultimates have been becoming more and more involved in foreign affairs" Hank began "What's gonna happen next? An invasion of the middle east?"
Jan's only option was to believe in her heart she had made the best choice. She and Steve would never last, the generation gap was too large to just ignore. And besides, she needed this, she couldn't just keep on avoiding Hank.
"Jan?"

[Blacklight]

May I suggest keeping Jan away from the Blob at all costs?

"If I haven't read it, it's new to me!"

[Harlekin]

Why is Clint sleeping with Natasha? His family should still be alive.

[Catman_prb]

His wife is estranged to say the least. It's not a continuity error on my part.

[Harlekin]

It's not? Really?

Clint and his family were happy just before they were killed.

[Catman_prb]

As near as I can make out, the most we see of them before the cut-off point is Clint calling up his kids to tell them he loves them. That doesn't mean that they're happy...Do you have some kind of personal problem with this?

[Harlekin]

Honestly, yes, I do. What makes Ultimate Hawkeye different, unique especially among the other Ultimates, is that he has a wife and kids whom he loves a lot and they love him. He's not 616 Hawkeye, and having him be with Natasha is something I consider to be out of character.

[Catman_prb]

Really, I don't see why you're getting so worked up. Just because he isn't sleeping with his wife, doesn't mean that he automatically has no relationship with his children. I honestly don't feel like I need to explain the entire view of my character to you, but let a GM sort it out if they feel that it's OOC, or is damaging the entire game.

[Harlekin]

Chill, Cats. I'm not getting worked up at all and you don't have to explain anything to me. All I was saying was that your posts didn't match up with the character - as I perceive him at least - and I was wondering why. No need to get defensive.

[Catman_prb]

And I was just trying to explain my reasoning. No problem.

[Harlekin]

All that I'll ask though then is why are you going down this path with him? His family provides a wealth of story opportunities.

[Catman_prb]

Because it is what I wanted to do with my character.

[Matt Murdock]

Is there a quality control policy here? Cause there should be. I'd love to play Magneto, but...
I think that the application process is the quality control mechanism, but when all someone has to do is throw up an application, it doesn't do much for the guy. It's like that Seinfeld bit:

What does it take to get a cab driver’s license? I think all you need is a face.

[SenseiofCheese]

How about we change the subject to something nicer. Saaaaay, my awesome new application?

ULTIMATE MARVEL RPG VOL.2 SIGN-UP FORM

Screen Name: SenseiofCheese

Character you would like to play: Parker Robbins / The Hood

Powers and a brief description of the character in proper English: Parker Hood as a normal human being. He has a wife, a lousy job, a small apartment in a bad neighborhood, and no powers. Not a single one.

Three reasons why you have chosen that character:
1. 616 Hood interests me, and I want to try putting my own spin on him.
2. With the big-time action bound to ensue for the Ultimates, I want to have a street-level character to play with as well.
3. Always fun to Ultimize a new character.

What can you bring to this game?

A new character, dedication and beer.

How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG:

Plenty. Plenty and plenty.

Do you know how to post pictures on the hype boards:

Why, yes. Yes, I do.

Provide a small sample post for your character, about 4 paragraphs with at least one line of dialouge:

~nd so, Spider-Man left the scene after apprehending the criminal known as FCLICK

Parker Robbins' finger touched down on the remote control and the television set immediately went to black. He sighed as he pushed himself off the couch, his wife's hand lingering on his as he stood up.

"You comin' to bed?"

Maggie, the love of his life, looked up and smiled as she had smiled when they first met. "I'm just gonna brush my teeth first. I'll be right in."

Parker bent down and planted a small kiss on her forehead before making his way into the bedroom. The room itself was normal, if a little small; their queen-sized bed planted in the middle of it, large enough so that Parker had to turn slightly if he wanted to fit between the bed and wall. Photographs of Maggie and him on their wedding day, vacations, holidays as well as a scattering of family photos littered the walls.

As he got into bed, Parker heard Maggie in the bathroom. The faucet, which had been leaky ever since they moved in, spurted water as he began drifting into sleep. Before he went out, he felt Maggie kiss him gently on the lips before lying down next to him. She put her arm around him and buried her face in his neck.

"G'night, honey."

"G'night."

[Matt Murdock]

Approved.

[Matt Murdock]

On a sidenote: Where've you been all of my life?

[SenseiofCheese]

Behind you.

Seriously, take a look back once in a while :csad:

[absonic93]

is it one approval this time around or two?

[SenseiofCheese]

Just the one.

And MM, sorry for that Cap post, I'm brainfarting when it comes to writing today.

[absonic93]

oh cool, I'm set to go.

On a side note, was Captain America ever decided? cause he and Janet are together at this point and that could be a starting scene perhaps

[absonic93]

damn double post....but I don't want to just waste this post.....

PIE BEATS CAKE! (there we go, Now it's an important post)

[SenseiofCheese]

Sounds great to me. Makes it weird that Cap sleeps by himself, but I really can't be bothered to go edit it so that Wasp was with him in bed. I'm having a bad writing day, so let's just say that from NOW on, they're together :woot:

[Eddie Brock]

Based on a myriad of factors - the most pertinent one being that I don't want to step on MM's toes - I've decided not to play Venom after all.

[Matt Murdock]

But my toes like being stepped on. :csad:

[SenseiofCheese]

Cats, that Panther post was fantastic. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that so far you really like writing him, judging from the length of your post. It's like with The Hood, for me.

My post could have been a lot shorter, but I just felt the urge to put a **** ton of effort into it. Now I have millions of things planned, almost every post for my run penned inside my head and I can't wait to write them out.

In any case, I can't wait for more BP from you.

And MM, that Spidey post, even before you added to it and it was part of your app, is one of my favorite Spidey posts of any of the RPGs he's in.

[Saved]

Why don't you just have sex with them! :cmad:

[Eddie Brock]

But my toes like being stepped on. :csad:
As I said, that wasn't the only thing I considered, but it was - more or less - the tipping point. For now, I'm contented with my two characters.

Might I suggest not using yellow as a font color? It's quite painful for the eyes. Whenever I want yellow, I use orange.

[Matt Murdock]

I hope I'm not overstepping my bounds, here, but Thor Odinson, I believe that Venom160 might have rescinded the approval of one (or both) of your applications. I'm unsure because I don't know whether or not Magneto was a serious character, or just a plot device. I believe, however, that Venom was quite clear that we, as GMs, are going to recommend that you pick up a B or C level character, just to sharpen your teeth on. Someone who would ensure maximum interaction with other players would be best. Please don't mistake this as us asking you to quit or leave, we just think that as a new player it would be best for you to get some experience before picking up two very powerful and universally used characters.

[Blacklight]

I don't see why he should. Obviously his applications were good enough for Venom to accept, so why instead of taking away his characters you both allow him more time to figure out how to properly RP in this game? I mean, sure, it might be a bit rough around around the edges, but that's no reason to go back on your word and take one or both of his characters away. One of the points of a reboot was for new players to come, and treating them this way just because of a few mishaps is not only just wrong, but it also ruins the integrity of the game and makes it look like any new players that aren't that good will suffer the same treatment.

[Venom160]

Nobody is taking a character away from anyone. I was simply suggesting that maybe he should consider picking up a lower level character. Not necessarily c-listers just someone who would be easy to rp and gain experience with. But thats all they were suggestions. But Odinson do work on you writing. Your Thor post shows improvement but keep at it. Be very detailed, get into the character's mind. Consider doing a solo arc so you can work on your skill without worry about pissing anyone off. As SSF said we're not trying to be asses we're just handing out alittle constructive advice.

[Gallagher]

My plan to get Thor back has failed! DRAT!
