But why would you NOT want to write contemporary political phi - ... you know what? Ask a dumb question...
Hey guys, it's been awhile since i last posted on these boards and I'm hoping to get back into some online role-playing. If you'll have me I'll have an application up in a day or two.
"Tonight" turned into "in 5 nights' time" for me, but it's there now.
My EeePC power cord is broken if you're wondering about the delay. Frankly, I blame Erin...
I acknowledge that the language in the last post was a little blue in places (also pink, white on black, teal... hyuk, hyuk, *guffaws*) but I maintain it was in character and I am going somewhere with it...

Create a Hero RPG SEASON IV Application
Character you have created: Samson The Mighty/ The Youngster
Alias: Sam Osborne
Speech Color: Gold, Italic
Character Alignment: Hero
Identity: Secret
Character Personality: Sam is a warm hearted kind of guy always willing to put others before himself. He likes to stay in the background trying not to be seen. Can be shy at times until he gets to know a person.
Origin Info/Details: His story begins on planet Zarrton. Sams real father Xon was known as a High Knight. On the planet Zarrton a High Knight is the kings top soldier. The King had called Xon to his throne room after hearing the news that his High knight child hasnt been born yet. It only takes Zarrtonian women 3 weeks to have their children and its been 5 weeks and Xons wife hasnt had hers.
When a knight has a child he is automatically pledge into the knights army, unless the child is born as a sincraft. (Sincrafts are Zarrtonians born with a defect. The Zarronian race has a unique ability to age to the state when their bodies will be in its prime. When a Zarrtonian woman child is not born within three weeks this is a sign that the baby will be a sincraft. For the Zarrton race if a child is born a sincraft it is put to death no matter what along with the mother.)
When Xon approached the kings throne room he went in on a kamikaze mission. His pride wouldnt let him lie to the king so he knew that there was only one thing left to do. He knew he had to try and kill the king because if he didnt the king would automatically put his wife and unborn son to death. So Xon went in with the intentions of killing the king and anyone that would dare stand in his way. Once in the throne room he told the king that his child wasnt born yet. The king told him that this means only one thing that his wife and son must die. Knowing this Xon prepared himself for battle. Xon fought with all the other high knights knowing he was fighting a losing battle but this didnt bother him none all he had to do was buy his wife and unborn child some time. Xon gave everything he had to every punch and kick slam he deliver till he saw the sign he was looking for. Through all the chaos he looked to the sky and saw his wife escaping on a ship. Once seeing that he gave up fighting now that he had pushed his body way passed its limit holding off the other high knights. As the king was about to deliver the fatal blow he notice that Xon was laughing and as he looked closer he seen a remote detonator on Xons wrist. Xon knew that even that if his wife got away on a ship heading to another planet that wouldnt be enough. There is a good reason why sincrafts were put to death and Xon knew why. Knowing this on the third week when his child still wasnt born he had went around the world planting bombs on critical points on the planet.
Before the king could even move to stop Xon he had pressed the button blowing the entire planet away all to save his only son.
Xons wife space ship had crash landed on the planet Earth. When she landed she had sensed with her special ability that she had been notice and people were on the way to capture her. She did the only thing she could do and that was run. While running she knew that at any moment she was going to get captured in a matter of minutes and the only thing that mattered to her was unborn child. She also had sensed that when she crashed landed that her ship had force someone else close by to get in an accident. While running she came across a woman who was trapped in a flipped over red truck unconscious. She quickly flipped the truck back over and ripped the driver side door off. She placed her right hand on the ladies forehand and the other hand on her stomach. A blue color glow came from the alien womans hand and went into the lady. All of the ladies injuries had healed. The alien woman then ran off as she finalized at the last second that the group that was after her was closing in. As she went to run away it was to late, they had caught her.
A month later the lady in the red truck had found out she was pregnant. This was a miracle to her and her husband being that before the accident she wasnt able to have any kids. They didnt know why or how she was able to have this kid now and they didnt care they were just happy that they were having a baby. During the course of her pregnancy, Janet had lost her husband Jim. Jim was a police officer who had got killed on the job. So after her husband past away she moved to the country because she figured it would be a better place to raise her son.
Sam has grown up to be a good person with just him and his mother taking care of each other. At the age of 15 thats when Sams powers began to manifest but he never really truly knew what was happening to him. Some day he would be a little faster or he would be a little stronger. Each day it was always different. His powers came to full play on his 17th birthday. He was telling one of his friends about the changes he was going through. During the conversation Sams mother had got into an accident. Her car was trapped between a van and a tractor-trailer. Seeing his mother in danger Sam had finally awakened his true power inside. He got his mother out of danger. He also noticed that he was a bit different. He stood in front of his mother not a 17 year boy but a grown man who looked as if he was in his early thirties. At that moment after saving his mothers life he knew then what he had to do with his life.
After that event that took place he decided to become a super hero. He found one of his fathers old hoody and he sown a mask inside the hood. From that day forth he went by The Youngster. His first act of super heroism was when he saved a group of people from a bus that had a bomb on it. From that day he knew that this is what he was meant to do.
Just like every hero he has went through bad times and for him it was him losing his mind. As he got older and his powers began to get stronger his alien natural began to manifest making Sam more violent and having more of a killer instinct. Sam went on a rampage going to the point where he was hospitalizing criminals. If it wasnt for his idol Icon Sam might have crossed the line and may have never been able to come back from it.
Once Sam has got back to his senses he decided to take a break from being a hero. So for a couple of months he cut himself off from people and stayed to himself and focus on himself mentally. After he felt that he was ready he rejoined the Guardians.
Now older and more experience Sam has decided to become a part time member of the Guardians as he now has plans to venture off and begin his own team.

He gains the powers of Invulnerability, Flight, Super-strength, Accelerated Probability (which allows him to slow down time, analyze which action to take, and then do so at a superhuman speed), Electric Manipulation, Decisive Memory (Anything that he has ever learned seen or heard from the day he was born stays in his mind as if he had just received the information. With this he has the ability to search through his memories as if he were re-experiencing them referred to as a holographic memory), Reverberation Vision (This is a two in one power. Reverberation vision uses his super hearing to not only hear from a far distance but also see beyond the human eyes. As the bouncing of sounds and vibrations off the surroundings enable him to see what's happening. If he would use his power to listen into a room next to him, as sound bounces off objects or people in the room. In his mind he is painted a picture of the layout of the area and the people in the room would be seen as just a black figure. Now with his Decisive memory if he happening to be listening to a person talk. Instead of just being an image of a body he will see their face only if he has seen the person face to face and heard them speak.) When he is in his normal human form he still able to use all of these powers but can only use two at a time and they are only 50% of his full strength.

List a few reasons why you've created that character: Well he was like my own version of Superboy. When I first at the idea of him I was going in the direction of him being a sidekick type but as time gone by he somehow became more than that, he grew into his own man. So I think it is only right for me to continue with him and take him to the next level.
What can you bring to the RPG?: Some good ideas. Another rpger posting for the CAH. You know the same as everyone else.
Do you know how to post pictures on the hype boards?: Yup
Sample Post (Minimum Four paragraphs containing dialogue):
While running I notice to the left of me that I pass a sign that read Lost Haven. A trip that would normally take 35 to 40 minutes only took me a couple of minutes to get to. This running at super speeds is just more than amazing. Not only am I running at fast speeds but it looks like a path is already set out before me and all I have to do is just fallow it. I move just at the right times to ease by passing vehicles.
This alone is remarkable, I wonder what other things I can do. Fly, lift cars over my head like there nothing. I thought to my self. Then as I was running my speed began to slow down to the point I was moving at average speeds. I stop in the middle of the street and look at the cars around and notice that they are not moving as slow as they were before. Before I could figure out what was happening everything went back to its original speed. The sound of a car slamming on its breaks brought my attention a head of me. I stood there not able to move just looking as the car was about to hit till the driver made a sharp turn to the right crashing into a pole. Others tried to avoid the car that crash into the pole but by doing so they did nothing but hit other cars causing a big accident.
While all of the chaos was going on I notice out of the corner of my eye that a black truck was heading straight at young woman who was dining at an outside restaurant as if nothing was going on. I knew that if I yell for her to look out it would be to late I would I have to get to her myself. Not knowing what was going to happen I took off running. I notice while running to catch the truck before it hits the woman that man speed wasnt quite as fast as it was before. I pass the truck and as I do so my speed goes back to normal. The woman looks at me as I just appear right in front of her face. My speed is gone there is only one thing I can do. I quickly grab her in my arms and get down on the ground using my body to shield her from most of the hit. I start praying to God that a miracle occurs.
I close my eyes and brace my self for impact. Then it takes place, the truck hits my back but shocking to me it doesnt hurt. I feel the front of the truck cave in against my back. As the impact of the truck hit against me I look up and see the truck flipping up in the air. As it was passing by I notice debris hit the woman on her head. The truck lands on a bunch of tables luckily once people notice the truck coming they all ran out of the way so know one got hurt.
First thing I do is look around and make sure that what just took place wasnt seen. As I take a quick glance I observe that no one seen the truck hit me. I feel the woman beginning to move in my arms so I look down and make sure she is alright. She starts shaking her head slowly and rests her hand on her forehead.
Hey take it easy okay your head got hit by some of the wreckage from the truck but it looks like youll live. I stay to her hoping she didnt notice me run to her in super speed.
I who wait you? I saw you there here.
From the jump I could tell the hit to the head had taken its toll. Nothing she was saying was making since. She waits a couple of moments and got her thoughts together.
The truck I saw it hit you, head on.
Dang she notice but maybe I can play it off since she did get hit in the head.
If I did, Id be dead. I ran to you to get you out of the way and then as I grab you another car had hit the truck sending it up in the air. Thats when we drop to the ground and a side mirror or something had hit you in the head. It must have given you some kind of imagination.
She then slowly gets to her feet and looks at the truck and looks at blue Honda accord that was behind me and notice that the hood of it was damage. She didn't see that the Honda had got hit by another car and lost control and just happened to end up next to us.The evidence around us was so convincing that she had to believe what I told her.
Must have. She said while rubbing her head.
As we were standing there three men came out of no where shouting and heading in our direction.
Ms. Love are you okay did you get hurt? One of them ask.
Im fine. Go get the car.
Right away the men quickly did as they were told it was obvious she is a young woman with power.
Looks like I have to go but I will see you later. Today is your lucky day.
Your injury, shouldnt you stay till the ambulance gets here so they can check it out?
She then leans in and kisses me on the forehead softly and looks me in the eyes.
No need. Ill be fine thanks to you.
She steps back and smiles. She looks at me and then starts to walk away. As she is walking I notice a necklace on the ground. I grab it and see two Ls that must be initials that stood for something.
Hey your
Before I can finish I notice that she was already gone.
I typed this in the "what you think you can bring to the rpg" question, but I need to emphasize this because my time still sucks: this is going to be temporary as of right now.

Humble spirit, but takes action when he has to. He understands that he has been bestowed with powers that have potential to be very destructive, and controlling those powers at times ever since the Invasion has caused him to somewhat fear himself. He can be a smart alec, and sometimes treats the entire thing as a game which is a strength as well as a weakness.

[FONT="] Origin Info/Details:[/FONT]
Michael was an orphan and has been for as long as he can remember.
His birth mother, as was told to him, was to have been a spirited woman. Always keeping her faith in God, and living her life according to his plans, she was a parishioner of the local Cathedral. Her romantic life was not something commonly known, yet she gave birth to a child. Giving birth to him, however, she had died; Michael was sent to the orphanage. He didn't stay in the orphanage for too long, however. By the time he was 9, he was finally accepted into an adoptive family: The Angelos. As a child, Michael would grow up according to his adoptive family's lifestyle which just so happened to be that of any common family around the area: devoted Catholics. He took up a interest in art, and one day his teacher glanced at one of his pieces of work one day and said "Wow, Michael Angelo, you're a real Michaelangelo" and the nickname stuck. It never bothered him, however. The nickname was something that he accepted easily.
Many Catholic schools around the country have different times when they allow a young man or woman to take the sacrament of Confirmation. Confirmation is the conferral of sanctifying grace and the strengthening of the union between individual souls and God. Little did Michael know, that his Confirmation would become so much more than that. On the day of his Confirmation, he was given the duty of The Archangel.
It was not through a burning bush, or a voice to his head, it was through an angel. The morning day of his Confirmation on Sunday, Michael was visited by the Angel of Prophecy: Bath Kol. The angel told Michael about the task of The Archangel, but the young man was so much in shock about it, that he believed it to be a dream. But the moment that Michael went up to the altar later that afternoon before The Bishop to complete his sacrament of Confirmation, he felt something change in him; but he did not quite understand what.
Recently he had found out that the truth behind his "purpose" was all a sham. An orchestrated plot by an angel wanting revenge on his creator as it was revealed that Bath Kol had simply been waiting for the time where Michael would be worthy and powerful enough to rescue St. Michael the archangel from his prison in Hell. Once he received the lost angel's blessings, Bath Kol took action to steal Michael's powers from him, and attack Heaven in attempt to recreate the world in what he deemed to be pure and free of sin.
With Bath Kol's plans thwarted, Michael is told by St. Michael the archangel that he and the other Archangels had agreed: they wish to continue to bless Michael with the 3 blessings of God channeled through them. And that he simply...can live life how he sees fit finally.
Hero Type (Select one):
Supernatural Elemental (Divine Agent)
Power Level (Select one below):
World Level, Cosmic on Sunday
Powers (Be Specific):
He is blessed by the Archangels of God's heavenly domain. On each day, he receives a different blessing (passive powers). His powers are categorized into 3 main blessings:
- The Pax Dei (Peace of God) - This allows him to communicate with the Archangels which bless him for their counsel: Gabriel (Monday), Michael (Tuesday), Raphael (Wednesday), Zadkiel (Thursday), Ariel (Friday), Uriel (Saturday), Metatron (Sunday).
- The Salus Dei (Salvation of God) - This allows him to heal upon committing the act of prayer. His Healing abilities are limited by the Will of God. He can heal grave injuries, but if it is God's will that said person dies, his healing will have no effect for example.
The Pax Dei and Salus Dei are passively always available to him, and he can also sprout his angel-fire wings at will as well. But in order to tap into the Cordis Dei, he must fully transform into The Archangel State. Also when in this state he can summon forth St. Michael the Archangel's firey sword (The Sword of the Spirit).
- The Cordis Dei (Spirit of God) - This is his most commonly used of the blessings as this allows him control over the Elements of Creation: Fire (Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday), Water (Monday, Tuesday, Sunday), Earth (Friday, Saturday, Sunday), and Wind (Wednesday, Friday, Sunday).
On Sundays, he is at his most powerful. Not just because he can harness all 4 elements at once, but because he is blessed by the strongest of Archangels on this day: Metatron.
Attributes:
(Note that Michael has finally found out how to tap into the potentials of his abilities as he learned that he can exceed his limits the more Faith he has in himself.)
Strength Level:
30
Speed/Reaction Timing Level:
30, 80 on Sunday
Endurance at MAXIMUM Effort:
3 hours, 5 hours on Sunday
Agility:
10X, 20X on Sunday
Intelligence:
Average
Fighting Skill:
Mastered
Resources:
Average
Weaknesses:
When not in the Archangel State, while still able to passively tap into 2 of his blessings and has some imbued strength and endurance, he is not nearly as powerful when in the Archangel State. Used to be powerless on Tuesdays until he rescued St. Michael the archangel from Hell.
[FONT="] Supporting Characters (Does your character have a significant other? A mother? Friend? Who are they, what do they have to do with your character?):[/FONT]
[FONT="]List a few reasons why you've created that character:[/FONT]
- Flux - New Girlfriend. Also fellow teammate of The Guardians.
- Father Damian - Priest at the local Cathedral. Frequently helps Michael when he goes into the Church, feeling lost. He is also going to be Michael's mentor as he tries to understand his role as The Archangel.
I originally wanted to make a healer type of character, so immediately thought of an angel like character. When it came down to really thinking about it, I decided I wanted a character who was blessed by the angels. When I went around trying to find information, I stumbled upon information about Archangels, and I knew this is what I wanted to work with. I happen to be Catholic, and the idea of a hero like this appeals to me. And also because I am Catholic, I figure I can portray and define who he is well. I figured it would be interesting, because I was pretty confident that a character such as this would never be brought up or introduced.
[FONT="] What can you bring to the RPG?: [/FONT]
To be honest, I just feel I need to tie up where the character was left off. Sadly I became inactive when some really important stuff went on. I need to clearly state his current...well, state. Then if I can stick around I will. But leaving some stuff unanswered just bugs me.
