One Earth: The Marvel/DC RPG: Sign-up/OOC Thread

[Johnny Blaze]

So, what's the Ultimates' roster look like, both PC and NPC?

[Byrd Man]

I think it's Cap, IM, Thor, Wondy, Hawkeye, Black Widow, and Black Canary. There may be one or two more, but I know those seven are members.

[Johnny Blaze]

Ok, so the team pretty much just started and is still building a roster?

[Byrd Man]

Yes. No. Maybe. I don't know. **** off.

Rick Flag and Phil Coulson are SHIELD Agent support, and Wildcat is also on the team, though I'm going to move him to more of a support role after this mission.

[Johnny Blaze]

Well, since it seems the group is still in it's rookie season, so to speak, and most heroes preoccupied with other threats, that makes it the perfect time to apply for a very special villain.

App coming soon...

[Johnny Blaze]

Character you would like to play: Victor Von Doom

Powers: Doom is a skilled sorcerer, having studied under some prominent mages. Doom wears a unique full body suit of highly advanced armor, which is a melding of both technology and magic. Doom's battle suit contains a myriad of weapons such as force blasts, flight, personal force fields able to withstand a nuclear blast, telekinesis, among others.

Doom is a genius in the fields of physics, robotics, cybernetics, genetics, weapons tech, bio-chemistry, and time-travel. Doom is also a charismatic leader, skilled tactician, master manipulator, and a talented enough liar to make Mephisto himself pause in admiration.

Brief history of the character:
History of Doom from Franklin Richards' original app for the character:

Victor Von Doom was born in Latveria to a family of gypsies. Victor's people were tormented by the then Baron Vladimir at every turn. When the people could stand it no longer. Doom's mother, Cynthia turned to dark magic to solve her problem. She lost control of the demon, Trigon, and he seized her and took her to his fiery realm. Doom lost his father to the armies of "King" Vladimir years later.

Victor's life was in shambles. He used his skills in sorcery to infiltrate Vladimir's army, where he advanced his knowledge of technology and weaponry. His hard work garnered the attention of American soldiers stationed in the area and eventually he was offered a chance to attend school in the States on the government's dime. Victor traveled west. Saying goodbye to his lifelong love, Valeria.

Victor went to Metropolis where he attended school with such notables as Reed Richards, Ben Grimm, and Lex Luthor. Victor was at the top of his class and became bitter rivals with Richards and Luthor. His tenure there ended however when an experiment of his went horribly wrong.

Reed Richards saw Lex Luthor leaving Doom's dorm room when he decided to drop in on Victor. He discovered the room was empty but before he could leave he noticed a device Victor must have been working on. He examined the device and began to peruse some of the operational notes when Victor stormed into the room demanding to know why Richards was in his dorm.

Reed explained that it was a mistake but insisted that Doom recheck his figures because he had noticed a problem. A problem Doom dismissed due to the circumstances. That and the fact that Richards was jealous of his work.

Doom rushed his efforts and finally devised a way to contact his mother and free her from Trigon's hold. But the machine blew up in his face instead, scarring him.

Doom was expelled from the University and deported from the country. Upon returning to Latveria, he was faced with the evolving realities of his home country. A country ripe with corruption and tyranny. A reign of genocide and ethnic cleansing. Doom had had enough.


Doom was powerful but he needed more. He needed to temper the steel of his character. A vision of his mother and the last words of dying monk would be the sign he needed. He traveled to the Himalayas to find a temple of destiny. A temple that would make him into the Master he'd hoped for. There he struggled to survive and when he arrived he learned all that they could teach. Eventually he emerged from his cocoon. He was Victor Von Doom no longer.

He was Doctor Doom.

He returned to Latveria as a whisper amongst the peasants. He could have simply flew to Vladimir's castle but he advanced slowly. A campaign of the people. And when the congregation arrived at the throne, Doom took power. Doctor Doom threw the dead form of King Vladimir from the ramparts of the castle and flew his flag from the tower.

Latveria is now stabilized, and it's people free and under the control of Doom. The good Doctor now has turned his sights back across the Atlantic and to Reed Richards...the man he hates more than anything. Doom will grind Richards under his iron boots, and any other of the heroes who gets in his way.
For the world deserves Doom's guidance and Doom alone has the pedigree to rule.
And it is only a matter of time until all kneel before Doom...

List a few reasons why you have chosen that character: It's Doom, and I have plans...

What are your plans with this character? Do you have a story: Yes, and all will be revealed when Doom decides you are ready.

Color and font you plan on using for your character's speech: Dark green palatino linotype

Please provide a sample post with original content in the style that you plan to write your character in (must be at least 3 paragraphs long and contains at least 1 line of dialogue):

"Hail, Doom!"

"Hail, Doom!"

"Hail, Doom!"

Victor Von Doom stood on the balcony of his palace that overlooked the main square of the Latverian capital, Doomstadt. It was the annual holiday celebrating their liberation from the cruel King Vladimir. With Doom leading them, the people rose up and defeated the Tyrant King. And now Latveria was free of oppression and tyranny of dead King Vladimir...and under the yolk of Doom.

But Doom used his genius to better the lives of his people, make their day to day duties to the state easier. And for this, they loved him. Doom was a saint compared to Vladimir in their eyes.
If Doom cared though, he didn't show it.

With a wave of his hand, Doom spun about, the shining sun flashing off of his armor, and strode inside the castle.

"Ah, the simple-minded masses", Doom sighed.

"Sire", the robot servant bade with a bow as it approached it's master.
"The system is operational, per your specifications."

"Excellent", Doom smiled behind his mask.
"Let us go see just what the future holds..."

DENIED!

Wait no.

Approved.

[Byrd Man]

Don't even trip. Approve this man again just because of who he's picking up!

[Byrd Man]

Are we waiting on anything in particular to move the stuff with Annihilus forward? Let's get a move on, I got a character I need to return to his proper universe!

[Johnny Blaze]

And Reed and the FF need to get back to Earth so Doom can murder them.

Yea, sorry. I need to get a post up either tonight or tomorrow.

[Andy C.]

Heads up, I'm gonna be out of town for a couple of days. So Byrd, you might wanna NPC Scarecrow a bit to keep the Arkham stuff going.

[Byrd Man]

Sweet. Time for Crane's latent homosexuality to come out in the form of a dance number.

[Carnage27]

Posts will be up tonight.

[Carnage27]

Cap and Ivy will have posts tomorrow. Wanted to get that post out of the way before the weekend.

[Optikal]

I was going to post this app in the 'Nuff Said game but it keeps pissing me off having to go to a different board rather than just bring this section up so I'll do it in this game instead.


One Earth: The Marvel/DC RPG

Character you would like to play: Baron Karl Amadeus Mordo

Powers: Baron Mordo has vast magical abilities derived from his years of studying black magic and the mystic arts. He can manipulate magical forces for a variety of effects, including hypnotism, mesmerism, thought-casting, and illusion casting. He can separate his astral form from his body, allowing him to become intangible and invisible to most beings. He can project deadly force blasts using magic, can teleport inter-dimensionally, and can manipulate many forms of magical energy. He can tap extra-dimensional energy by invoking entities or objects of power existing in dimensions tangential to Earth's through the recitation of spells. He can also summon demons, but often does not have enough power to force them to do what he wants them to do.

Baron Mordo has some knowledge of a karate-like martial art form, and has an extensive knowledge of magical lore.

Brief history of the character:Originally a Transylvanian nobleman (born in Varf Mandra), Mordo became a student of the Tibetan sorcerer known as the Ancient One. When Mordo plotted to kill his teacher, the Ancient One's visitor, Dr. Stephen Strange learned of the plot, forcing Mordo to cast restraining spells to prevent him from warning his master or attacking him. When Strange selflessly decided to accept the Ancient One's offer to learn magic in order to help the old man, the Ancient One freed him from those spells, which he was fully aware were in place, and trained him as a formidable enemy of Mordo. Eventually Mordo was exiled by the Ancient One. Mordo's abilities were similar to those of Doctor Strange, but Mordo was particularly skilled at astral projection and hypnosis, as well as mesmerism. He was more than willing to use powerful black magic and invoke demons, both of which Strange was reluctant or unable to do, although both acts would sometimes backfire on Mordo.

List a few reasons why you have chosen that character: This game needs villains and so far as I know, Mordo has never ever been played as an IC character in any of the games. I also have what I hope is going to turn out to be a brilliant arc that will effect the whole OE Universe!

What are your plans with this character? Do you have a story: I do have a story, though I'm hesistant to reveal it all in a mere application.

Color and font you plan on using for your character's speech: Georgia. Green.

How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: Probably every few days.

Please provide a sample post with original content in the style that you plan to write your character in (must be at least 3 paragraphs long and contains at least 1 line of dialogue):

"Look at them. Milling around, living out their pathetic, meaningless lives. What purpose do they serve?"

"They are your people now. Their purpose is to serve you, my love".

In the deep shadow of Mount Wundagore, Baron Karl Amadeus Mordo turned from the large balcony overlooking his new home of Transia. Stood in the archway leading back into the castle stood his new lover and recent widow, Maria Russoff. She was wrapped in a silken shawl but even in the dim light her golden hair shined in almost ethereal light.

"You are truly a vision my dear" Mordo smiled, taking her hand and raising it to his lips. "A treasure that the late and unfortunate Gregor never truly appreciated".

Maria took her hand back and stepped past Mordo, moving to the balcony herself. Their was a gentle breeze carried from the mountain and on it the scent of a variety of flowers and plant life. She inhaled deeply and turned back to him. "Gregor was a good man, but a man of little imagination. But you, my Baron, you are a man of rare brilliance. You're ideas, your dreams, they are beautiful".

"Indeed?" Mordo asked, his arms slipping around her waist and head nuzzling into the crook of her neck. "Tell me more..."

Maria turned in his arms and ran a hand down his chest, looking up into dark eyes. "Later, when business is concluded. Your agent has returned and he has requested an audience with you".

"Ah, finally" Mordo grinned and moved towards the castle.

"What has he brought to you?" Maria asked, following him into the ancient building.

"The key to the universe itself" Mordo replied with a cold smirk.

Wait. Why does that piss you off?

[Byrd Man]

I don't know if I can approve you, OP. This third character is another Marvel one. I thought that if you had three characters, you had to have at least one DC one if the other two were Marvel, and vice versa.

I don't know. I'll let Carnage make a ruling.

[Johnny Blaze]

My two cents, Optikal should be approved. I know I sided with the rule in the past, but I don't agree with it now.
If somebody wants to play 3 DC characters or 3 Marvel characters it shouldn't matter. With there only being a handful of RPers, any PCs added to the game should be welcomed.

Now, I can see making it so you can't have 3 premium characters at a time (i.e. Me applying for Flash, when I already have Superman and Joker). I can see wanting to let the big stars be spread out more among the players and not letting one person hog a trifecta of them.

[Byrd Man]

Interesting... I don't seem to recall asking for your goddamn opinion!

Because the RPG section is bookmarked on Chrome so when I bring up a window I click on it and the RPG forum opens right up. I can barely tolerate the rest of the board. The Marvel one is off to the side. It's the epitome of internet laziness to have to dig it out.

That's fair enough dude. I'd forgotten about that rule. If it's not approved I will literally just transplant that story onto a DC character. I'm a Marvel through and through though which is why I try to stick to that side of things. However, rules is rules and I've no problem abiding by them

I agree that it can seem a little shut off when for example you'd have potentially three or four players and between them sharing Cap, Iron Man, Batman, Superman, Joker, Flash and Spider-man.

I mean, I prefer B, C and D Class characters myself as there's more creative freedom without the pressure of playing those guys. But for those who want to, I agree that maybe one or two marquee names and then a B or C list character would really spice the game up and create plenty of new story opportunities.

Ah. Well, to be fair, I had left redirects in the RPG forum for both threads, I just accidentally deleted them whenever I was doing some stuff to beef up the Archives. Sorry if that led to any inconvenience. If we're still determined to keep things over there, I'll try and restore the redirects, at least. Make it easier for anyone in the RPG forums to find it.
