    This RPG is similar to almost all others on Superhero Hype boards, except in this continuity, both the Marvel and DC universes are merged as "One Universe".

    In the past year, many new champions of the world have been born. Superman, The Last Son Of Krypton. Batman, The Guardian Of Gotham City. Spider-Man, New York's Webbed Wonder. Daredevil, Hell's Kitchen's Man Without Fear. But just as many threats to mankind have arisen in wake of the heroes' spawning. The heroes' first obstacle came when Oliver Queen's benefit party in Star City was disrupted by The Incredible Hulk. Heroes such as Superman, The Fantastic Four, Batman, and Iron Man found difficulty in defeating the beast, but they eventually won out, setting the seeds for a possible forging of allieances. However, Earth's first superpowered danger on a global scale came in the form of Darkseid, an Apokoliptian ruler bent on enslaving Earth and it's inhabitants. Defeated by Reed Richards and many other of Earth's heroes, Darkseid was encased in another demension. With the heroes having defeated the alien warlord, all seemed well... For a short time. But when General Zod, an insane superpowered Kryptonian survivor with Superman's powers, broke free of The Phantom Zone... All was seemingly lost as the monster wreaked havoc upon America in search of the son of Jor-El. But it was The Flash, Jay Garrick, who won the day by inspiring Superman to fight back, resulting in a collosal battle for the fate of the world. The battle ended with Zod's death at the hands of a kryptonite radiation, and the earth was saved once more. With the heroes having defeated the world's greatest threats, the year came to an end, with the formation of a new, powerful super-team, dedicated to protecting all of mankind; Superpowered or not.

    How will the past year affect the present? What dangers will the superheroes oppose as they grow within their roles as Earth's guardians? How many new heroes and villains will emerge?

    "One Universe" RPG SEASON II SIGN-UP FORM

    Screen Name
    Green Lantern

    Character you would like to play Connor Hawke, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. codename Arrow

    Powers: None. Normal human, but extremely skilled in martial arts and is among the best shots in the world.

    Brief biography of the character's history: Connor was an orphan, raised by Richard Dragon. During his young child hood, he and Richard lived and trained with Tibetan monks. They returned to America in time for Connor to attend and graduate from both High School and college.

    Three reasons why you have chosen that character:

    1.
    I wanted a character I could reinvent as a spy.

    2. I'm a bit partial to the Arrow family and Connor was the only one not established yet.

    3. MB convinced me to join this RPG.

    What can you bring to this game?: People seem to like my RPing in the other games I'm part of. :o

    Color and font you plan on using for your character's speech: VERDANA Bold

    How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: as many as needed...

    Please provide a small sample post with original content in the style that you plan to write your character in: I made my way down to the firing range, headphones firmly nestled in my ears as I listened to Drowning Pool, namely the song that made them big, "Bodies" Great song to blow off steam too, and right now things just aren't goin' the way I want them too, so I need it.

    At the line, I checked my clips. Both guns had a full magazine. I knew that, just wanted to be sure. There was only one other guy down here, and he was looking at me funny. Probably because I had headphones rather than the typical earmuffs. Oh well.

    I don't bother to aim, I just put my hands out holding the pistols, and quickly squeezed the triggers. Two holes appeared in the target right where his pupil's should have been. Just how I wanted it.

    The other guy was watching me intently now. His mouth opened, and he said something. I couldn't hear most of it over the music, but the words "Really f**king impressive" made it through. I ignored it and threw the guns in the air. I watched them flip end over end, and crossed my arms to catch each with the opposite hand it had been in. They fell to rest in my hands and I squeezed the triggers again, no new holes appeared in the target, but the two original ones widened slightly as two more bullets went through them. I subtley glanced at the other guy, and his expression was one of amazement. I couldn't help but smirk a little. I put my left hand behind my back and squeezed off another shot with my right, this one going right between the eyes. Then I turned around just enough to be able to shoot the target with my other gun, putting a hole right where the heart of the target would have been.

    The other guy was coming my way, so as a courtesy I pulled out the earbuds.

    "Now you're just f**king showing off, you bastard."

    "Nah, just blowin off some steam. You think this is good, you should see me with a bow and arrows."

    Do you know how to post pictures on the hype boards?

    No, I've been a member for three years, and have an avatar, but NO idea how to post pictures :o

    Screen Name:
    Master Bruce

    Character you would like to play: Superman

    Powers: Superman posesses the ability of flight, x-ray vision, heat vision, artic breath, super strength, endurance, super speed, and super hearing.

    Brief biography of the character's history: When the advanced civilisation of the planet known as Krypton was put into danger, it's top scientist rocketed his only son off the planet in a desperate attempt to preserve the dying race. Landing on Earth, the craft that carried the infant was found by a loving farming couple. Renamed Clark Kent, the boy grew up in Smallville, Kansas, where he discovered that he had abilities far beyond those of normal men. Told of his heritage many years later, the boy set out on a worldwide quest for answers, while discreetly using his powers to help other people. Taking up journalism while on his venture, Clark eventually returned to the US, and applied for a job at the top newspaper in the world: The Daily Planet, of Metropolis. Getting the job, Clark soon learned that he had a need to continue on with helping other people with his otherworldly abilities. The Kents, sewing him a costume and helping him invent a mild mannered persona with a pair of thick glasses, watched as their son left Smallville to persue his career in journalism. When moving to Metropolis, Clark encountered Lois Lane, the top reporter of the Daily Planet. But during an assignment covering Lex Luthor and Wilson Fisk's company merging, Clark was forced to reveal his new identity to the world, and thus, a hero was born. Dubbed "Superman" by Lane, Clark now continues to lead a double life of secrecy, both as the mild mannered reporter, and Champion of Tommorow.

    Three reasons why you have chosen that character:

    1.
    I played him all through last season. From beginning to end. That's a rare thing for me to be able to say. What's rarer is that I got to play him from before he put on the tights, to his first real victory against a largert than life threat. I'm not about to hand him over to someone else... There's at least 60 more years of history I've barely even acknowledged.

    2. Superman is the ultimate superhero. He was the first, He spawned many others, and he's still a great character to this day.

    3. I want to explore more of the character's history, aswell as better blending him into the "One Universe" angle.

    What can you bring to this game?: Hopefully enjoyable writing, good interaction, and kick ass, over the top flight battles.

    Color and font you plan on using for your character's speech: Bold Blue Verdana for Superman, Blue Verdana for Clark Kent.

    How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: Depends on how fast the game is moving. But I'd say once or twice.

    "One Universe" RPG SEASON II SIGN-UP FORM

    Screen Name: wiegeabo

    Character you would like to play: Jay Garrick (Flash)


    Powers: Ability to tap into the Speed Force to attain superspeeds, accelerated healing and metabolism, and more powers he is just discovering.

    Brief biography of the character's history: Jay Garrick has been the Flash for years. He fought in the war as a member of the JSA alongside other heroes like the original Green Lantern, Captain America, and Nick Fury.

    For years Jay and the rest of the Justice Society of America fought villains and protected the innocent until the team finally disbanded. Even though he and Joan Garrick have been happily married for years, they have no children. But, like the other senior members of the JSA, consider Dinah Lance, daughter of the original Black Canary, their niece, and as close to a daughter as they ever had.

    Over the last few years Jay has lived a relatively quiet life, being the hero of Central City and occasionally helping out the other Flash in Keystone City. That is untill the invasion of Darkseid and Zod's attacks on Earth. Now, Jay is working towards building a new group of heroes to prevent any such future threats.


    Three reasons why you have chosen that character:

    1. Jay is a great character in his own right, with a rich history to create and/or build upon.

    2. Over the last season I've really grown to love playing the character.

    3. I can't wait to start putting together a new theam and working through our first trials and growing pains.


    What can you bring to this game?: A season's worth of character building and a couple of ideas for some nice story arcs.


    Color and font you plan on using for your character's speech: This is how Jay talks, and thinks...

    How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: As many as I can which is usually at least a couple of times each evening.

    Please provide a small sample post with original content in the style that you plan to write your character in:

    It's been several weeks since, as the military calls it, 'The Incident,' or as the press calls it, 'The Battle for Earth.' And the world is still trying to heal. Not surprisingly, SHIELD was able to cover up the nuclear attack and keep it from the general public. The cover up was made easier by the fact that most were more concerned with healing from the devistation Zod had reigned down.

    Pokolistan-Russian relations were in chaos. Zod had ripped the small country asunder with his coup. So many people had died on both sides. Even now the area is a volatile powder keg.

    Chicago had cleaned up what was going to be the future site of the New Sears Tower. The city still hurts, but the people decided they weren't going to let Zod win.

    Washington DC had taken some damage as well during the Superman/Zod fight. But now most of the damage had been repaired and, thankfully, no lives lost.

    The tidal wave caused when Superman's body hit the ocean damaged coast lines in Eurpoe and Africa, and caused minor damage to the east coasts of both Americas. All totaled, Zod had directly or indirectly caused nearly four billion dollars in damage and taken 18,534 human lives.

    The number still haunts me.

    I've also been busy these last few weeks. It had taken some time for me to fully recover. And I had gladly spent those days back home with Joan. She hovered over me like I was on the verge of death, but no matter how much I wished she wouldn't, I never complained. We nealy lost the planet, and I was thankful for every moment we had together.

    After recovering, I paid visits to everyone I could find. Superman, Zatanna in San Francisco, Olliver Queen in Star City, Ted in Gotham, Spider-Man in New York, and most recently Tony and Dinah. I even happened to run into Juggernaut down in Texas. Why he was in Texas he didn't say, although, honestly, he didn't say much except four letter words as he told me he wasn't interested. I even spoke to Batman again, but he was as indifferent, and frightening, as ever.

    I told all of them the same thing. That soon, we would be meeting to create a new group of heroes to make sure that what happened would never happen again. And if they were interested, to meet at the old JSA Brownston here in Gotham on the specified day. And that day...

    "...is today."

    Oh you know I'm back for Season II

    "One Universe" RPG SEASON II SIGN-UP FORM

    Screen Name:
    Andy C.

    Character you would like to play: Colonel Nick Fury, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    Powers: Fury has no overtly supernatural abilities, but his exposure to the Infinity Formula has severely stunted his aging process, giving him the appearance of a man in his early fifties, even though he is nearly 100 years old. Fury has trained to the peak of human fitness, is an expert in hand-to-hand combat, and is adept with virtually any weapon. He is now once again privvy to all of the resources and agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and can launch tactical strikes by convention or unconventional means anywhere in the world.

    Brief biography of the character's history:

    At one time, Nicholas Joseph Fury was the greatest soldier the world had never seen. A veteran of the Second World War, Fury led a special task force known as "The Holwing Commandos" on countless missions against the Third Reich. During one of these missions deep into occupied France, Fury was severely maimed by a landmine, only to be found by Doctor Berthold Stremberg. There, he was used as a test subject for the Infinity Formula, which healed his wounds completely and greatly reduced his aging. However, without an annual dose, Fury would die.

    After the toppling of Hitler's empire, the world descended into the long decades of tension and paranoia known as the Cold War. It was in these years that Fury would earn his reputation. He joined the OSS and then the CIA, wherein he gained the rank of Colonel for his work in Korea; it was the last official rank ever bestowed upon him.

    As the Cold War intensified, and the US government became more aware of the slow but sure increase of metahuman and mutant populations worldwide, they formed the Strategic Hazard Intervention Espionage and Logistics Directorate, or "S.H.I.E.L.D." Due to his exemplary work behind enemy lines in two wars, as well as missions against the Soviet Union itself and underground terrorist groups such as HYDRA and the League of Assassins, Fury was one of the first and finest agents for the job. Throughout the course of the Cold War, Colonel Fury was on the forefront lines of a secret war between S.H.I.E.L.D. and countless foes, eventually becoming the Director of the covert organization. The exact details of his 40-year-long career are, of course, strictly classified.

    In response to the growing threat of superhuman violence (particularly after the Apokolips Invasion and the attack of General Zod), S.H.I.E.L.D. has now brought Fury back out of retirement. His first action upon returning was monitoring the battle between Superman and Zod, eventually ordering a nuclear strike. In the time since, he has worked tirelessly to ensure that S.H.I.E.L.D. will be able to handle any and all threats to the American people...by any means necessary.

    Three reasons why you have chosen that character:

    1.
    The Colonel is a great character to play, and now that there are at least two more agents affiliated with S.H.I.E.L.D., I should be able to interact a bit more.

    2. Fury can work incredibly well as both the grizzled old war hero and the shady untrustworthy government man, so he can fill in the sort of gray areas between hero and villain.

    3. Somewhere down the line, I'd really like to see someone set up Checkmate, causing an internal political struggle that could lead to the OU equivalent of Civil War.

    What can you bring to this game?:

    Detailed and creative writing, nearly flawless spelling and grammar, and (I'd like to think) a great handle on how to build and utilize dramatic tension.

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

    Times New Roman, Size 3, Black, Bold

    How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG:

    Much as I can, as long as the creative juices are flowin.'

    Please provide a small sample post with original content in the style that you plan to write your character in:

    "One Universe" RPG SEASON II SIGN-UP FORM

    Screen Name: wiegeabo

    Character you would like to play: Bruce Wayne (Batman)

    Powers: Even with no superpowers, Bruce Wayne represents the pinnacle of human physical and mental abilities. Years of disciplined training of both body and mind have created the man destined to be the world's greatest detective. Batman is also a master of a variety of martial arts and uses his vast wealth and the resources of Wayne Enterprises to fund his campaign of crimefighting.

    Brief biography of the character's history: A happy only child of wealthy Thomas and Martha Wayne, eight year-old Bruce's life was shattered when his parents were murdered infront of him. That moment changed Bruce forever as he dedicated his life to preventing anyone from having to go through what he did.

    Partially raised by faithful family butler Alfred Pennyworth, Bruce spent his youth and early adulthood traveling the world. Bruce trained his mind and body to peak conditions and trained with various masters across the globe in all the arts he would need to fight crime including martial arts, criminology, science, and pschology.

    Now, disguised as a bat, and newly partnered with a young boy name Dick Grayson, Bruce strikes fear in the hearts of criminals as the Batman.

    Three reasons why you have chosen that character:

    1. I took over the character towards the end of the season and look forward to playing in two or three arcs that are starting to develop.

    2. I look forward to creating a new Batman from the start of his career, and especially exploring his detective side, and giving proper focus to Bruce.

    3. It's the Batman! Who doesn't want a chance to play the Batman!

    What can you bring to this game?: Besides a few good storyarcs, the interaction of the Batman with some of DC and Marvel's biggest criminals, and the chance of some great detective work and fights...absolutely nothing.

    Color and font you plan on using for your character's speech: This is how Bruce speaks, and thinks. And how Batman speaks, and thinks.

    How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: at least a couple of times each evening, and more as necessary and possible.

    Please provide a small sample post with original content in the style that you plan to write your character in:

    "Mr. Wayne! Mr. Wayne!" The press shout as I step off my personal jet. My arrival in New York was supposed to be kept quiet, but someone at the company must have slipped it to the press. I sigh as I step on the tarmac.

    "Mr. Wayne! Ben Urich, Daily Bugle. Any comment why you've decided to pay New York a visit?"

    I put on my best free-wheeling playboy smile. "Well Ben, it is Ben right? Well, there's a couple of buisness dealing I'm looking into. I'm not at liberty to say of course. Very hush-hush. After that, well, I'm sure there's more than a few parties to drop in on in this city."

    A couple of reporters laugh. I keep myself from throwing up in disgust. A few of the tabloid reporters try to get me to say what parties I'll be attending, but I ingore them. Security keeps the press held back as I get into the waiting limo. We enter the parking garage. A minute later, three identical limousines leave, pulling and splitting up all the waiting reporters and their vehicles.

    Ten minuets later, a mid-sized car leaves the parking garage, completely unmolested by reporters. "Where to, Master Bruce?"

    "To the hotel, Alfred. We get checked-in, then set up our base of operations tonight."

    Do you know how to post pictures on the hype boards?:

    It better not be Bruce. He may have been a man-****e in his youth, but the Batman has no time for children...biolgical children. ;)

    Character you would like to play: The Green Lantern (Hal Jordan)

    Powers: Jordan wields a power ring of the Green Lantern Corps, an incredibly powerful weapon that allows the wearer to manipulate or duplicate virtually any form of matter or energy. This power of the ring is limited by two things: the individual Lantern's willpower, and the amount of energy stored in the ring. The ring itself must be recharged every twenty-four hours, and due to an 'impurity' in the Battery, cannot effect the color yellow (however, due to Parallax's escape from the Central Battery during the battle with Galactus, this may no longer apply)

    Brief biography of the character's history:

    Hal Jordan is a test pilot for the U.S. Air Force, operating out of Ferris Air Field, gaining a reputation as a practically-suicidal daredevil in the cockpit and a braggart out of it. While serving time for a DUI, he experienced something that would change his life forever.

    The dying alien known as Abin Sur crashed his ship in the nearby desert. His last action in this life would be to pass on his mantle to someone worthy, and he found Jordan, granting him the phenominal powers of a Green Lantern.

    This newfound power was soon put to the test, as Jordan was visited by another Lantern, the harsh and arrogant Sinestro. He was meant to take Jordan under his wing and train him, but instead had to rush him to the Lanterns' home world of Oa, to face an unspeakable power: the world-eater known as Galactus.

    After a horrific battle, Jordan used the power of the Central Battery to try and stop Galactus, unwittingly freeing the demon Parallax. Oa was destroyed, and both the Green Lantern Corps and the Guardians of the Universe were all but destroyed with it. Due to Jordan's actions, a handful of Lanterns managed to survive, as well as the Guardian known as Ganthet.

    Upon his return to Earth, Hal was given a new task from Ganthet: find the other Earthman who once called himself the Green Lantern, the one who wields the power of the Starheart.

    Three reasons why you have chosen that character:

    1.
    Hal's a classic character, one of DC's all-time big 7.

    2. After playing villains and anti-heroes, I'd like to sink my teeth into playing a straight-up good guy for a while.

    3. Considering we've got an old-school JSAer with Jay, I think the old Flash and the new Lantern would have some interesting interactions. Not to mention bringing back the classic pairing of Green Lantern/Green Arrow.

    What can you bring to this game?:

    A plate of nachos, perhaps?

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

    Arial Black, Green

    How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG:

    Much as possible if there's something interesting going on.

    Screen Name:
    The Question

    Character you would like to play: Spider-Man

    Powers: Superhuman strength, speed, agility, and endurance. He can also cling to almost any surface and possesses limited precognative abilities. Last season, he received a certain "wardrobe upgrade" that boosts his powers and gives him limited shapeshifting abilities.

    Brief biography of the character's history: You all know the story. Bit by spider, gets powers, tries to make money, doesn't stop a crime when he has the chance, same criminal kills his uncle. Last season, he started his crime fighting career, met Batman, was drafted into Jay Garrick's "Justice Society of Avenging Leaguers," and was bonded with a very weird suit that, for all he knows, hitched a ride to Earth on Darkseid's warships.

    Three reasons why you have chosen that character:

    1.
    He's a very fun character.

    2. I played him last season.

    3. I think I could do a better job with him this time around.

    What can you bring to this game?: Two words: Venom saga.

    Color and font you plan on using for your character's speech: Peter Parker, Spider-Man.

    How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: As often as possible. :o

    Please provide a small sample post with original content in the style that you plan to write your character in:

    ...hm?

    What?

    Where am...


    Okay, I haven't been at this super hero thing for too long, but I'm guessing it's not normal to wake up in the middle of the night in full costume, standing in the middle of an alleyway, and looming over an unconscious bleeding guy. What the hell is going on?

    Just you finally letting yourself be free, Pete.

    What?!

    I trun around.

    "Who said that?!"

    No one.



    ....I better get home now.

    I shoot out a web line and swing away. Probably just sleepwalking. Sleepfighting. Whatever. Probably just nerves.


    Yeah.





    Only a matter of time, now.
