I really, really can't believe I'm doing this. I mean, really. But, hey, if you can't have fun in a web-based role-playing game, I dunno what the world's coming to.
If anyone gets annoyed or offended about this application (which is entirely serious, by the way)... then... um. I have no idea what to tell you. Please step back from the computer, evaluate your life, and realize that this is a game on a superhero message board.
From The Pages Of... RPG APPLICATION
Screen Name: Matt Murdock
Character you'd like to portray: Peter Griffin
Superhuman powers, traits, other attributes of interest: Peter has no attributes of interest. He's a beer-loving, mischief-causing, New England family man. With his wife, Lois, daughter, Meg, sons, Stewie and Chris, and best friend, Brian the Dog, Peter often gets involved in benign, idiotic, and outrageous situations. He is bound by the laws of cartoon physics, but, for the most part, the situations he finds himself in are entirely plausible. He has gone through dozens of events that would kill a regular person, and has come out unscathed. Though it may be difficult to bring this to a game of the serious nature of From the Pages Of..., I think it only serves as a challenge, and could only accentuate Peter's heroic nature if he's practically immortal. Also of note is that it is somewhat unclear as to whether or not Peter can break the fourth wall. He's spoken to the audience of the show several times, but has never made a definite address to the viewers.
Originally appearing from (which comic, and company?): Family Guy as published by Devil's Due
Fictional history of the character (as you're going to interpret it): Living the same life as his television counterpart, Peter is an Irish African-American ******ed illegal Mexican immigrant living in the suburbs of Rhode Island with his attractive wife and talking dog. His baby has a British accent for no apparent reason, and he has made mortal enemies out of James Woods, a giant chicken, and countless others. Spending his days at 31 Spooner Street, in Quahog, Peter is a character who lives the epitome of a normal life and, yet, always gets himself into some sort of crazy scenario.
Hero, Villain, or Walking the line?: Hero
List a few reasons why you chose this character: I'd like to get better as a comedic writer and I like Peter Griffin. I'm a big fan of Family Guy, and hope to do the character justice. That's really about it.
Write two complete sentences explaining what you can bring to this RPG: I'm pretty dedicated to most, if not all, of the games I play in. Things have gotten rough schedule-wise in the past, but, for the majority, I've kept my commitments in the games I play in. Also, I can bring the face of a character that has a chin shaped strangely like male reproductive organs.
That is to say that they look like testicles.
How many days a week you intend on posting in the RPG: Completely depends on the action.
Please provide a small sample post as your character, at least three paragraphs and one line of dialogue in length:
It seems today, that all you see...
"Thanks, Ollie."
And, just like that, the report shifted back to the normal adventures of the patrons of Sam Malone's Bostonian Bar.
"Holy convenient plot devices!" West cried, "Do you know what this means, Griffin?"
Peter nodded vehemently.
"That woman must be completely barren. Just... deserted. She must be like the dairy aisle on Easter. No eggs."
West simply stared at the man, dumbfounded.
Do you know how to post pictures on the Hype boards?: You bet.

It seems today, that all you see...
Seated upon his comfortable couch, watching an episode of Cheers, Peter Griffin smiled to himself. He was having a wonderful day, watching television, drinking beer, and occasionally letting his flatulence escape his control. His wife, Lois, entered the living room of their home, carrying their son, Stewie, with her.
She placed the boy next to his father, and kissed him kindly on the head.
"Peter, I'm going out with Bonnie. Make sure Stewie is asleep by 8:15. Chris has a report for school tomorrow, and Meg has to get ready for a geography presentation."
"Alright, honey, I'll have all of that taken care of by the time you get home." Peter said with a smile, not even taking his eyes off the TV.
Lois eyed him cautiously. She knew better than to trust him with menial tasks. It wasn't that he didn't have a good heart, it was just that... well... being married to a ******ed man took effort, that was all there was to say.
"Yes, that's a perfectly good idea, Lois." Stewie sarcastically touted."Leave the ******ed Mexican in charge of your infant son and the education of your children."
"Aw, Stewie doesn't want me to go." Lois said, patting her son on the head. "Don't worry, sweetie, Mommy'll be home before you know it."
"Yes, of course she will." The boy hissed, batting her hands away angrily,"Provided, of course, that there's a home for her to come to. Has she forgotten what the fat man did the last time she was out, mm? As I recall he had all of the celebrities he knows over, and we all know how well that turned out."

•••••
The Griffin's living room was full of celebrities. A make-shift stage had been crafted out of the bottom of the stairs, and Peter, dressed in a fine suit, made his way onto it, gripping a microphone.
"Everyone, I'd like to thank you all for coming, you all look magnificent."Spotting someone in the crowd, he cried out happily,"Farrah! You look wonderful."
He shifted on the stage and smiled. "We have a slew of guests tonight, I'm glad you were all able to come out. Tonight, though, is a special night for all of us. In just a few minutes, we'll have two of the greatest musical geniuses in the world. One of them is sure to Thrill you,"He said with a snicker, "and the other will knock your socks off with some terrific, terrific guitar playing."
The doorbell rang, and Peter scurried off stage, passing an older gentleman, painting an elaborate, though fancifully realistic caricature of Glenn Quagmire.
"Wow, Andrew,"Peter said, passing the artist,"you really capture Quagmire's chin, there. Great stuff!"
He opened the door, only to be greeted with the familiar blackness of an empty hood.
"Uh oh."Peter muttered. "Can you come back in, like, five minutes? Michael Jackson and Les Paul are about to duet."

"A celebrity death joke?" Peter's dog and best friend, Brian, asked, pulling himself up onto the couch. "Really?"
"Beggers can't be choosers, Brian." Stewie snapped.
The pair's conversation was suddenly interrupted when Mayor Adam West burst through the door to their home.
"Griffin!" He cried, as Stewie and Brian bolted away.
"Uh... Yeah, Mayor West?" Peter asked quietly.
"I was just out, doing my nightly laps around Quahog's suburban streets, when I saw the most terrible thing on someone's television set!"
A breaking news bulletin suddenly interrupted Cheers, and Peter and Mayor West were suddenly faced with the news duo of Tom Tucker and Diane Simmons.
"Beggers can't be choosers, Brian." Stewie snapped.

"Our report on your latest failed pregnancy will have to wait, Diane, because it looks like the world of Quahog has been invaded by a cast of characters that are completely and utterly... normal?"
"That's right, Tom. Indiana Jones, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and even the Spirit, a fanciful character thought only to exist in comic books, have all been spotted in surrounding towns."
"That's what the reports are saying right now, viewers. And it looks like every person spotted has been a stereotypical adventure hero. And, of course, no news report would be complete without a consultation with our BlackUWeather Meteorologist, Ollie Williams. What character are you, Ollie?"

Let's see. So far in this RPG we have allowed characters from Heroes, Chuck, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Star Trek, Stephen King novels, and managa characters. I say the Griffins get the **** out! 
But seriously. If you allow all that, might as well let him play Peter.

Hey guys, I've been neglectful to this game, and you have my apologies. I'll be getting a Spike post up more than likely tomorrow
Righto, I should explain myself. Basically, I haven't had the interwebs for months due to a lot of rubbish happening around here. As such, since no one else seems to have picked him up I submit again for my old character.
From The Pages Of... RPG APPLICATION
Screen Name: The Turtle
Character you'd like to portray: The Doctor
Superhuman powers, traits, other attributes of interest: The ability to regenerate, saving himself from death. This results in a complete change of appearance and personality. He travels in time in a time machine stuck in the shape of a 1950's Police Box. He has two hearts and he often claims to be able to "see" time.
Originally appearing from (which comic, and company?):
Previously: Doctor Who Weekly (Marvel), Doctor Who Comics (Marvel)
Currently: Doctor Who Magazine, Doctor Who Comics (IDW), BBC Publishing.
Fictional history of the character (as you're going to interpret it): The Doctor is an alien - a Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey. He left his home planet, seeking adventure. However he occasionally lies and says he's in exile. He travels in time and space in his ship - The TARDIS. Normally traveling with human companions, he now finds himself alone. He enjoys interfering in human history. Currently in his first body, it is growing old and he feels the end of his first life coming.
Hero, Villain, or Walking the line?: Hero
List a few reasons why you chose this character: The Doctor
How will this character differ from it's original incarnation?: I'd be taking the original character and infusing it with modern sensibilities,
Write two complete sentences explaining what you can bring to this RPG: I've been involved in RPG's before - so I know what I'm doing. My character selection opens up very epic story lines.
How many days a week you intend on posting in the RPG: At least once per day. Minimum.
Please provide a small sample post as your character, at least three paragraphs and one line of dialogue in length:
The white doors hum as they open, and the old man enters. He supports himself on an old, battered wooden walking stick. He looks around him, admiring the clean, white console room. He touches a wall, feeling it's vibration - it's BREATHING. The TARDIS, thinking, feeling. Alive.
He hobbles over to the console, and props his stick against it. He reaches for a lever, and pulls it. Slowly, a grinding fills the room. Like two sheets of metal being rubbed together, but deeper. More powerful. The sound of the entire universe contained in this one room.
He smiles to himself, then looks around. It strikes him now, that he is alone. Even with all of time and space at his fingertips, he is alone. He smiles wearily, then pats the console.
"Oh well old girl, I propo...suppose it's just me and you now, hmm?"
Do you know how to post pictures on the Hype boards?:
Yes, but it seems pointless to do so atm.

Well, finally got alittle bit of a post up. It's not much, and I apologize for that, but I'm going to take some time to seriously rededicate myself to this game.

When have they interacted with Chuck's group? We've been hiding out in a hotel with Indiana and just now came outside to a vampire ambush. And the GB/Hellboy/Buffy team wasn't involved with that. I thought we were at two different parts of town, unknowingly working our way towards each other.

Okay. Nevermind then. Our group was fighting by a hotel, so I was under the impression that it was the one you all were holed up in.
I shall edit it away.
