I've kind of feel out of the loop since the invasion ended can someone get me up to speed.
Also i'm thinking of dropping Hulk in favour of Deadpool. Cerealkiller182 hasn't posted in a long while, way over the 2 week limit. So if the mods agree its ok, I will put an application up

Hey guys. I just want to say that everyone is doing a really good job and I am enjoying reading all of the posts. Also, I kind of wish I had Captain America get his jet inside the ship just before the ship teleported. It woudl have been fun to be on the planet. Oh well.

One Universe history draft 2!
There was a flash, and a boom. And two that were separate became one.
One Universe RPG history
The One Universe is a melding of the histories of both DC Comics and
Marvel Comics. Every aspect of history is merged, every character affected.
Cosmic
Thanos, Galactus, the Asgardians, and every god and goddess of both Marvel and DC are present. The Fourth World, with New Genesis and Apokolips, exists in a separate dimension, wherein Izaya, Highfather of New Genesis and arch-foe of the dread god Darkseid communes with the Source, an aspect of the One Above All. Thanos remains in love with lady Death, though she is an Endless, his love for her knows no bounds, and all of his schemes culminate in her loving him. Galactus was created by the One Above All from the miasma of creation to be the counterbalance to life. Galactus is an enormous, planet consuming being and the embodiment of the Power Cosmic, and he uses heralds to find the most suitable worlds for consumption. Still there are Watchers, a great society of cosmic beings who have pledged to record all that transpires in creation. Their quest is that of ultimate knowledge, a quest that can never truly end. They have recorded everything since the dawn of creation, from the Final War of the Old Gods to the formation of the galaxies and planets. They remain neutral entities, forsworn only to observe; never to interfere.
The gods and goddesses all exist as part of the realm of the Dream King, Morpheus, their power waning and increasing dependent upon how many worshippers they have. There was, in ages long ago and unrecorded, a massive battle between the Old Gods, as they are termed. After this cosmic conflict, ended only by the intervention of Morpheus who sought to preserve the dreams of all, the gods decided upon new paths while the One Above All created the Fourth World of the New Gods, who existed outside of the realm of dreams. The Asgardians chose to protect Earth and watch over it, for many were the legends that the next gods would arise from that place. They had only uncountable millennia to wait before they saw the beginnings of mankind's godhood.
Earth
1939-1946
In the 1940s, the so-called Golden Age of the Mystery Men. There, legends like the All-Star Squadron and the Justice Society of America fought evil the world over in the age of the World War. Captain America was a founding member of both teams, and Green Lantern, the Emerald Knight of Gotham City, stood as the shining example from his age. With the end of the war came the death of Captain America, a death of such great magnitude that it rocked the fledgling superhero community. Shortly afterwards, both the All-Star Squadron and the JSA disbanded in mourning. With the coming of the Cold War, the mystery men faded into obscurity.
2005-2006
The Superheroes Return & The Invasion of Earth
It began, fittingly enough, in New York City. There, a man gifted with the powers of a spider was seen, a marvel of his time. The appearance of the Spider-Man heralded the opening of the floodgates as dozens of costumed champions and horrible villains emerged. The Superman in Metropolis, the villainous Doom in Latveria, and ever more. The heroes were a disparate group, not acting in a unified manner until the monstrous Hulk appeared in Star City during a gathering of the rich and powerful in the mansion of Olliver Queen. Unknown to many, the superheroes were in attendance, figures such as Tony Stark, Clark Kent, and Reed Richards all there. Superman, Iron Man, the Flash, the Batman, Mr. Fantastic, the Thing, and Black Canary all worked together to put down the Hulk. In the aftermath of the colossal battle, many of the heroes were left questioning their purpose. In the melee, Olliver Queen's mansion had been annhiliated and the performing group The Flying Graysons had been killed, leaving only Dick Grayson behind, who was taken into the care of Bruce Wayne. Shortly following this event, a group of explorers in the Arcitc, working for Lex Luthor and Wilson Fisk's LuthorFisk Inc uncovered a shocking discovery. Frozen in the arctic wastes was the long thought dead Captain America, who was quickly reviatlized and brought up to speed on the new world he found himself in. As the world hailed the return of one of it's greatest champions, ominous portents began appearing.
On Asteroid M, Magneto was sent to another dimension, leaving the mutant nation of Genosha leaderless. In Star City, the Green Arrow fought a shadowy assassin named Kanto. Iron Man's armor, aided and enhanced by a Motherbox of New Genesis, gave Tony Stark warnings of impending doom and knowledge of a nightmare world called Apokolips. Finally, the watcher Uatu warned Reed Richards of the coming of a being known as Darkseid.
A day later, it began. With a boom, an invasion fleet unlike any other assaulted Earth. From Tokyo to Paris, LA to NYC, the ships came. At their head was the dread god Darkseid, immortal ruler of Apokolips and master of the Omega Effect, had come to Earth seeking conquest. Against his nigh-omnipotent might stood the assembled heroes of Earth. Wolverine, Nick Fury, Sabretooth, Spider-Man, and the Green Arrow boarded Darkseid's command ship, while Lex Luthor and Captain America attacked it in LuthorFisk developed aircraft. But despite the resistance from Earth's heroes, Darkseid would not be denied his conquest. Darkseid manhandled even Superman and Thor when they attempted an assault on him. The fight was so furious that a three hundred foot crater was created by the battle. It was not until Reed and Sue Richards of the Fantastic Four arrived that Darkseid stopped his assault. Reed Richards held the most powerful weapon in the universe, the one thing that gave even Darkseid pause.
The Ultimate Nullifier.
Reed was given a choice by Darkseid. Hand over the Ultimate Nullifier and Darkseid would leave, or use it. Realizing that if Darkseid was given the Nullifier it would only serve to make him more powerful, Richards decided to use it. The energies of the Nullifier came in contact with the Omega Effect, and in an astonishing display of cosmic power, the Omega Effect won out. Darkseid and his forces, instead of being Nullified, were returned to Apokolips, momentarily shattering the minds of Darkseid's soldiers. Unfortunately for the heroes who had boarded Darkseid's command ship, they were returned to Apokolips along with the ship. Now, as the heroes attempt to find a way home, Darkseid contemplates his failures and forms new plans for Earth.

wiegeabo said:Screen Name: wiegeabo
Character you would like to play and a brief description of his/her powers and Bio: Jay Garrick. Flash (Golden Age)
Three reasons why you have chosen that character: We need a speedster. With a new league of superheroes forming, Jay's experience would be invaluable. Jay's like an uncle to a lot of heroes, and probably has some stories involving himself and Captain America during the war.
What can you bring to this game: I'm already Juggernaut, so I'd like to be a DC hero.
How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: Already posting a couple of times a day.
Do you know how to post pictures on the hype boards:
Dude..Just remember your 'niece'

I feel so..historically accurate. I've never been able to portray this type of relationship in an RPG before...nostalgic and it's just cool!
Ummm ...about that first person thing, would it be weird to change my post formats halfway through?
I feel kinda old school and traditional doing it in third person perspective.

Master Bruce said:Oh yes, that's just what we need. A nice big Hulk fight to celebrate the bonding of two people as husband and wife.
Well Superhero weddings never do go as planned...

BUT MOST of the time they never go as planned.
