Screen Name: Batman
Character you'd like to portray: MI-6 Agent 007, James Bond
Superhuman powers, traits, other attributes of interest: Though he lacks superhuman attributes, Bond is trained to the level of peak performance in most of what is humanly achievable, both in intelligence and physical endurance. An expert marksman, fluent in several languages, a master hand-to-hand combatant and even renowned daredevil, there's actually very little that Bond hasn't proven himself fully capable of exceeding at. Bond's most crippling weakness is actually his own ego, often getting him into trouble and perilous situations. As a recently promoted agent of MI-6, British Intelligence, Bond has been given perhaps his most signature weapon in service - a license to kill.
Originally appearing from (which comic, and company?): Going off of his current publishing rights, Titan Books' The Man With The Golden Gun
Fictional history of the character: Bond is the son of a Scottish father, Andrew Bond of Glencoe, and a Swiss mother, Monique Delacroix of the Canton de Vaud. The boy James Bond spends much of his early life abroad, becoming multilingual in German and French because of his father's work as a Vickers armaments company representative. When his parents are killed in a mountain climbing accident in the Aiguilles Rouges near Chamonix, eleven-year-old James is orphaned.
After the death of his parents, he goes to live with his aunt, Miss Charmian Bond, in Pett Bottom village, where he completes his early education. Later, he briefly attends Eton College at the age of 13, but is removed after four years because of girl trouble with a maid - then sent to Fettes College in Edinburgh, Scotland, his father's school. Bond briefly attended the University of Geneva. Bond lies about his age in order to enter the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve during the Gulf War, from which he emerges a Lieutenant Commander.
It is this time period that creates his larger field resume, making him prime for Britain's offer to join MI-6's program of privatized special agents, or Secret Intelligence Service (SIS). Though he spends most of his training on a tour of duty through Europe, Bond's skills catch the attention of his superiors rather soon and he is sent on the steps to becoming a 00 agent, the primary field operatives of the British Government. His first assignment is an undercover one, infiltrating a series of illegal card games at Montenegro's Casino Royale, held by a ruthless banker named Le Chiffre. MI-6 believes the games to fund terrorist activity, so Bond is sent in as a player.
It is during this time that he meets and falls in love with an agent of Britain's treasury department, Vesper Lynd. His intention is to quit the service and leave with Lynd after the mission's completion, content enough to give up the life of an agent. But though Bond is successful at preventing Le Chiffre's plan from taking hold, he is unable to prevent the intercutting murder of Vesper at the hands of a vengeful organization called Quantum that helps orchestrate the game and fund Le Chiffre's holdings for the winner. Distraught and left cold-hearted by Vesper's death, Bond finally earns his 00 status by taking the required two kills - a bullet for Le Chiffre and a bullet for the mysterious Mr. White, the leader of Quantum. By the time he returns to London, Bond's status is activated and he is given his liscence to kill, becoming Agent 007.
Hero, Villain, or Walking the line?: Hero
List a few reasons why you chose this character: Well, I mean, it's James Bond. I think all of us at some point have been a fan of the movies, and even fantasized about being a secret agent, which was a character type that he popularized. The reason I chose to play him here is that he's the perfect foil for a character that I intend to introduce as a villainous presence in the game, while at the same time giving me an outlet to give plenty of homage to the remake of Casino Royale, one of my favorite films of the last decade.
Write two complete sentences explaining what you can bring to this RPG: Hopefully, a decent grasp on the world of secret agents and the sort of extraordinary things that Bond can be made formidable against. Oh, and I suppose I'm a decent writer who can interact well with others.
How many days a week you intend on posting in the RPG: Many as I can manage.
Please provide a small sample post as your character, at least three paragraphs and one line of dialogue in length:
"And for you, sir?"
"Vodka martini, two olives. Shaken."
"Not stirred?"
"Not if you want to keep breathing."
The bartender chuckled, but his customer's eyes were serious. Quietly, he turned around began tending to the mysterious man's drink. Nerves were high as the gala for Russia's Prime Minister began the evening's festivities, bringing about a world class series of guests and diplomats. The celebration was intended to promote peace throughout the neighboring borders, as Russia's government had just successfully cracked down on a series of weapons' smugglers that had ravaged the East for a number of years. The prime minister called it a new beginning for those affected by gangland violence, but the talk of the town seemed to speak differently. There was almost certain to be a retaliation strike by the remaining members of the heavily armed cartel, but in their optimism, none of the Russian government seemed too concerned. They were only fortunate that Britain's intellgence weren't as forgiving.
Only lightly tapping his earpiece as his fingers ran through his hair, James Bond's eyes were fixated on the crowd. He could read people almost as well as he could read literature, but there were no indications of foul play in any of the patrons surrounding the prime targets of any sort of assassination. From his ear, he could hear chatter amongst MI-6's prominent spies, already wondering if they were better off pulling out. Bond wasn't so sure, as he took his glass from the bar and raised it to his mouth, his gaze bouncing even further from the lavish trappings to the balconies.
"I certainly hope you're not paying attention to your colleagues, Bond. That tip came from reliable sources."
Bond smirked. It seemed his superior shared his sentiments. "And I thought you'd be off to bed at this hour."
"Not with an international crisis on hour hands. Just what the hell do you see in there?"
"Lots of saps, and lots of fools. A few interesting parties, but nothing terribly important."
"Just remember that the instigators wouldn't likely want to call attention to themselves."
He took another drink.
"Doesn't mean they wouldn't."
That's when he noticed an individual going through the crowd, heading towards a hall that was unoccupied to the right corner of the room. Bond's eye kept tailing his movements, but they were fluid and active, like he was in a rush. Placing his cocktail down, Bond advanced through the crowd and crossed paths with a young woman serving the guests some wine, giving her a polite nod and indicating the direction he was heading.
"Excuse me, I'm a bit lost. Do you happen to know which room that is?"
She looked over. "Oh, I believed that is the Prime Minister's personal quarters. That part of the estate is strictly off-limits to guests."
Bond's eyes narrowed.
"Thank you, that is all I needed to know."
Reaching into his pocket, Bond's fingertips latched onto his .34 service piece and he made his way after the potential suspect. All the while, M's voice kept coming back at him.
"Bond? We're getting a reading that you're heading west. Is everything alright?"
Bond's pace increased, knowing he'd get an earful about this.
"Perfectly fine."

Hmm... I'd like to possibly try to get back into things around here. I'd like to play Hellboy again, though villains seem needed.

Either one would be awesome. I've been trying to do as little as possible with Hellboy in my BPRD arc since I figure someone will eventually want to jump in and play him.

I might just go ahead and not worry about Hannibal and the A-Team. I played them long enough in the last game, and I'm doing some stuff in another RPG that's in the same vein as the stories I'd tell with them, so it'd be best to focus on that story instead of split it between that and the A-Team. Plus, more focus on Holmes which I'm digging now.

Screen Name: wiegeabo
Character you'd like to portray: Dr. Samuel Beckett
Superhuman powers, traits, other attributes of interest: Sam is a genius. Born a child prodigy in 1953, he was reading by age 2, and doing advanced calculus in his head by 5. He was beating computers at chess by 10, playing piano at Carnegie Hall by 19, and earned a blackbelt in several martial arts by the time he graduated high school at 16. With an IQ well over 200 and a photographic memory, Sam went through 4 years of MIT in just 2, and eventually earned 7 doctorates in various fields including Medicine, Chemistry, and Quantum Physics, and became fluent in the same number of languages. Before his 30th birthday, Sam had won a Nobel Prize in physics and was called the 'Next Einstein' by Time Magazine.
But, through all of it, Sam was fascinated by the concept of time travel. The interest began with the string theory of time travel developed by his mentor at MIT. But the interest became an obsession when Sam's father died of a heart attack only a few years after his older brother was killed in Vietnam. And Sam begin to think that by time traveling, he could fix what once went wrong and help people throughout history.
Knowing he'd need the government to fund his research, Sam begin working for government projects. During his time with Project Starlight in the 1980's, Sam met his best friend Admiral Albert 'Al' Calavicci, a brilliant computer programmer named Gushie, and the love of Sam's life, Donna. He brought this core group of people into Project Quantum Leap and, in 1995, Sam's dream of time travel came true when he stepped into the accelerator...and vanished.
But something went wrong, and Sam was uncontrollably leaped into the body of a person in the past, switching places with them, while still appearing and sounding like them to those around him. The leap also caused partial amnesia. Sam would have been lost in time if not for the help of Al, who communicates with Sam as a hologram projected into Sam's mind, and Ziggy, the artificially intelligent computer that is Project Quantum Leap. With their help, Sam finds himself leaping from life to life, striving to put right what once went wrong, and hoping each time that his next leap...will be the leap home.
Originally appearing from (which comic, and company?): Quantum Leap tv series (NBC), Quantum Leap (published by Innovative Corporation, 1991)
Fictional history of the character: [/FONT][FONT="]Sam is the creator and head of Project Quantum Leap, an experiment in time travel to allow people to travel within their own lifetime. But,[/FONT][FONT="] impatient to test his theory, Sam leaps before the project is ready, and finds himself lost in time, uncontrollably leaping from person to person, setting right what went wrong with their lives. And each time he succeeds, he leaps into another person with the hope that, one day, the next leap will return him home.
His friend Al can communicate with Sam as a hologram projected through time. Only Sam can see and hear Al, and Al sees and hears everything around Sam as a hologram in the imaging chamber back at Project Quantum Leap. After years of various leaps, Sam's footprints in the changes of time have been both small and large. He prevented his father's heartattack, and saved his brother in Vietnam. He saved Marylin Monroe's life so she could complete filming of The Misfits, and saved Jackie Kennedy from Lee Harvey Oswald's bullet (by actually leaping into Oswald at various points in his life), and even, by leaping into his great-grandfather during the Civil War, saved the life of Martin Luther King Jr's great-grandfather. Sam has even fought evil leapers who try to set wrong what once went right, and may have actually taken on the Devil himself one Halloween...
Eventually, Sam learned from someone who may or may not be God, that he actually controlled his leaps. But, instead of finally leaping home, Sam leaped to prevent Al's wife from declaring him dead while he was a POW in Vietnam, saving their marriage. Now, Sam is leaping again, but the leaps are more difficult now, no longer confined to his lifetime, nor to just the past...
Hero, Villain, or Walking the line?: Hero
List a few reasons why you chose this character: Sam was one of my favorite tv heroes growing up. He was a good man and the character was a good role model. And now that I've started watching some of the show again, I'm all excited.
Write two complete sentences explaining what you can bring to this RPG: Even though Quantum Leap was canceled after season 5, the plan for season 6 was to make the leaps harder (even having multi-episode arcs) and free Sam up to travel further into the past and even to the future. And our game happens to take place in Sam's future...
How many days a week you intend on posting in the RPG: Honestly, it might only be on the weekends. But if I have time, I'll try to get a weekday post up.
Please provide a small sample post as your character, at least three paragraphs and one line of dialogue in length:
Blue energy spreads out, covering his body, electricity rippling along the surface. But no sees this. No one notices. And, honestly, how could they? How could normal people see a four dimensional ripple of energy?
The answer: normal people can't. But he can. He's done it before. He doesn't see it happen to himself. To him, one moment he's there, there's a tingle unlike anything he had ever felt before wash over his skin and sink into his very core, and the next moment he's somewhere else. Somewhen else. But he has seen it happen to others. And he knows that's what he looks like when he leaps.
***
The tingle fades, and is replaced by the all too familiar confusion. Think of what it would be like to blink your eyes, and be in a completely different place by the time they opened. Combine that with partial amnesia, utter confusion, and a lot of adrenaline, and you might get a small sense of what I feel every time.
Luckily, after you've been leaping for a few years, you get pretty fast at recovering.
First thing's first, look around, get some perspective. Sights, smells, noises, take them all in. Gather as many clues to try and figure out what's happening as fast as you can. Get you're bearings. Leaping is always easier when you've got some sense, how ever vague, of what you just leaped into.
I notice that I'm squatting down in a large room. Around me, men and woman are busy doing...things. It takes me a second to realize they're police. Or, at least some of them are. But these aren't normal police uniforms. At least not for anywhere in the States.
"Well? What do you think?"
I look towards the voice. A tall man is also squatting across from me, giving me a curious look. He's tall, thin, and judging by the accent, definitely British.
"Think?" I say, knowing enough to put on an accent of my own, hoping it's close to being correct.
"About the body."
"Body?" I look down and notice the body. The body of a dead man lying between us. Doesn't take a genius to figure out what's going on.
"Honestly, you really need to work on your concentration, Watson."
"...oh boy..."

Can i choose this big guy?
By the way, there's not any harry potter comic is there?
And if we choose 2 charactesr can we end a story arc with one of them when we think it's time and then choose another character to fill the void?

My problem? I JUST DON'T GIVE A ****. THEY CANCEL MY SHOW, AND **** GOES CRAAAZY.
Nah, but seriously I've just been busy with an unsuccessful job/apartment hunt. I was actually going to have a post up today since my gf is visiting for about 2 weeks and it's likely I won't get any posting done then.
