Screen Name: Watchman
Character you'd like to portray: 9-Jack-9
Superhuman powers, traits, other attributes of interest: 9-Jack-9 is the world's greatest assassin. He's an electrical being that is able to travel through any electrical equipment. He is able to fire off electricity and manipulate his size.
Originally appearing from (which comic, and company?): Zot! Eclispe
Fictional history of the character (as you're going to interpret it): Sir John Sheers was one of England's deadliest weapons. He had the ability to astral project himself into a virtual reality device that created the thing known as 9-Jack-9. He was used to kill off any enemies of the state. That was until John Sheers was murdered by the vigilante known only as V. The body was dead but the mind lived on. People disall over the world spotted the "ghost" of 9-Jack-9. He appeared during the "Purge" but quickly disappeared. His location and motivation is unknown.
Hero, Villain, or Walking the line?: Villain
List a few reasons why you chose this character: Well he is an interesting villain and there are no other places to use him.
How will this character differ from it's original incarnation?: The original came from a parallel world and was only just an assassin for hire. I'm going to give him a bit more motivation.
Write two complete sentences explaining what you can bring to this RPG: For one I would bring an interesting villain and hopefully an interesting story. Also, one of the few comic characters.
How many days a week you intend on posting in the RPG: Whenever I can
Please provide a small sample post as your character, at least three paragraphs and one line of dialogue in length:
A street light blinks and standing below it is a ghost like figure. The street light next to it blinks and he is under it. He travels under each light, blinking out of existence and into it each second. Each time getting closer and closer to his target.
It's a busy roadway. He bounces between each vehicle until he stops inside a black sedan. The radio goes static and then a voice overrides the music.
"Evening Richie." The voice sent a chill down his spine.
"Who's there?"
"Me." The man looks to his the passenger side there was now the thing sitting there with its blank stare.
"You are suppose to be dead! We shut you down."
"Poor naive Richie. Do you understand how small you are? Only a little cog in the great machine." Jack grabs the steering wheel and pushes it toward the left. The car shoots across the lanes and crashes through a guardrail. Standing at the ledge Jack looks down at his job well done. Without saying a word he turns his back and heads toward a sign made up of lights reading road work ahead. And like that he's gone.

Screen Name: Affliction
Character you'd like to portray: John Connor
Superhuman powers, traits, other attributes of interest: He's just an every day normal human caught up in a war that is yet to happen. His only aid is his instinct to survive.
Originally appearing from (which comic, and company?): Dark Horse / Dynamite
Fictional history of the character (as you're going to interpret it): In the future, powerful, intelligent machines have dedicated themselves to the eradication of humanity, and John Connor is the leader of the human rebel group Tech-Com that opposes them. Skynet, the supercomputer mainframe of the machines, decides that John Connor is the focal point of the rebellion and that his termination would end the opposition. After repeated failures at terminating John during the war, Skynet decides to use a time dilation device to send cyborg assassins called Terminators to various points in John Connor's past in an attempt to terminate him before the war ever begins.
The year is 2008. After managing to stop Judgement Day in 1997, John Connor has lived a nomadic life of solitude. His mother, friend and mentor Sarah contracted Leukemia and died. Since then, John has kept himself off the grid trying to live out his life before the apoloyptic events that destroyed his past and threaten his future come to pass.
Unbenkownst to Connor though, Judgement Day was not averted, merely delayed... 2008 is the year that the world changes forever, and Judgement Day looms once more...
Hero, Villain, or Walking the line?: Hero
List a few reasons why you chose this character: He is just an every day human with no special abilities or powers, caught up in a situation beyond his control or comprehension.
How will this character differ from it's original incarnation?: The original was always on the run, trying to avoid his destiny. My john will learn to embrace that and fight it head on.
Write two complete sentences explaining what you can bring to this RPG: Umm... I can bring enthusiasm and the ability to tell a good story. Also... Midget Porn and Skittles.
How many days a week you intend on posting in the RPG: Whenever needed.
Please provide a small sample post as your character, at least three paragraphs and one line of dialogue in length:
"1997 was the year the world was supposed to end. It was the year of Judgement Day. The day the machines destroyed the world.
"That was 11 years ago.
"Judgement Day came and went. A day like any other in the minds of almost every other person on this planet. People still went about their business, laughing, playing, loving, fighting and simply....living. Each breath of air they sucked into their lungs, each kiss or embrace they shared, each moment that they continued to exist was a gift. A gift from my mother and my father. And a gift from a version of myself that was yet to exist.
"My name is John Connor.
"I was supposed to stop the war and save the world.
"With the help of the Terminators, my mother and I did.
"And yet deep inside, I have a feeling. As I look at the faces of humanity going about their own lives, I feel the darkness looming. In the pit of my stomach and the back of mind i know.
The war is inevitable... and it's coming".

Used Watchman's application as a guideline, huh? *points to Superhuman Traits and Originally Appearing*

You have my approval.
Glad someone's willing to play as Connor. I was contemplating picking up the T-800 as my next character. If you could edit the "Superhuman abilities" portion of your application, I would have no issues with accepting you.

Thanks PP! The original app was for T-800, but I figured he'd work better as an NPC alongside Connor. If you want to pick him up though, he's all yours!

The Terminator I'd play would be evil, though.
Mainly because I'm a bastard.

Watchman and Affliction, both your apps look good far as I'm concerned. You each got my approval.

...I would dispute that, but I can't be assed. I'm also debating which app to put up first: Firefly or other...

Interesting choice, Watchmen. I look forward to reading it.
