Character you would like to play: Norrin Radd, the Silver Surfer
Powers: Norrin wields the Power Cosmic, a force of cosmic nature that pretty much allows hims a wide array of abilities from near indistructability, super-human strength comparable to the likes of Superman and the Hulk, can travel at light speeds, manipulate all forms of energy and matter on a large scale, fire cosmic blasts, uses a cosmic surf board to travel the spaceways and it can be controled mentally by Norrin, etc.
Brief biography of the character's history: Norrin Radd was once a normal humanoid being from the planet of Zenn-La until the day Galactus came. To save his planet from being destroyed, Norrin gave himself to the World Devourer and became his Herald, who's sole purpose is to scout a head and find suitable worlds for his master to consume.
Norrin, normally pacifistic in nature, performed his task admirably with no small part to to mental tampering by Galactus. Despite this tampering his service to the Planet Eater ended on the ravaged planet of Oa. Unable to stop the destruction of the planet that was home to the Guardians and their Green Lantern Corps, the Surfer renounced his master.
After rescuing the Green Lantern Hal Jordan and returning him to Earth, Norrin Radd set out towards the stars to formally resign from Galactus' service. After a confrontation with the Devourer, Norrin was freed from his servitude as Herald. Setting out amongst the stars to atone for his part in the death of billions, the Surfer saved a group of refugee slaves and discovered about the plantoid, Warworld. Along with the help of the Kree hero, Captain Mar-Vell, Norrin Radd freed the populace from the despot, Mongul.
But Norron could not rest as the Green Lantern, Hal Jordan, arrived and asked for help in facing a dire crisis: The Coming of Galactus.
Hal's homeworld of Earth was threatened by The Devourer and his new herald, Lobo, but the Earth's heroes along with Norrin Radd turned the tide and drove off Galactus. After goodbyes, Norrin returned to space but soon ran into the annoyance known as the Impossible Man. After a brief but violent encounter, Norrin was able to rid himself of the Poppupian. But trouble once again found the wayward Surfer. Trouble in the form of the infernal creatures Mephisto and Neron. The demons both tried there best to get the Surfer's soul, but both failed. In the end, it was Norrin who made out for the best in the encounter as he was finally reunited with his lost love, Shalla Bal.
Now Norrin Radd and Shalla Bal are making their trek home across the stars to Zenn-La...
List a few reasons why you have chosen that character: He's easily one of my favorite heroes in all of comics. His pacifistic nature coupled with his raw power is a fun balance to play. He's arguably the most noblest of heroes in all of comics, and I need that to balance out all the evil bastards I play.
What can you bring to this game?: Experience in RPing and excellent character to help flesh out the OU's cosmic side.
Color and font you plan on using for your character's speech: gray, bold
How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: As many as need be, life permiting.
Please provide a small sample post with original content in the style that you plan to write your character in (must be at least 3 paragraphs long and contain at least 1 line of dialogue):
The Surfer felt the cosmic power surging from his being as he called upon it and reached out to his surroundings. He closed his eyes as he pushed his senses forward, pushed them to their ultimate limit as he scanned the entire planet in under a minute.
Norrin Radd's eyes opened, and he smiled.
"This is real", he stated, "this is no illusion."
"We are free", Norrin exclaimed in joy, his beloved Shalla Bal joining him.
"Oh, beloved", speaks Shalla Bal as tears of happiness stream down her face as she rushes over and embraces Norrin Radd once more.
"I knew that you would come for me. I knew it."
"No force in the multiverse can keep me from you", replies Norrin as he hold his love tightly.
"But how did you come to be captured by that demon", asked Norrin as he gently pulled away from Shalla Bal.
"It was days weeks ago, or maybe years...time did not seem to move in that hellish place", she began and was forced to look away from Norrin as she recalled the memories of her time spent in Neron's clutches.
"But I was approached on Zenn-La by a man garbed in green finery", she continued as her gaze once again met the Surfers.
"He told me that you were in danger, and that you needed help."
"He offered to take me to you", Salla Bal went on as she recalled her final night on Zenn-La.
"I was worried I might lose you forever, so I accepted...", she spoke with a tinge of regret and embarrassment.
"I feel foolish", she scolded herself, "I am smarter than that. To be duped so easily."
"Neron seems to be a being of great power", Norrin interrupted, "it would not surprise me to find that he used some charm on you to sway your decision."
Shalla Bal smiled, "Thank you, Norrin."
"It was not until he took me back to his domain that I discovered that I was to be bait to capture you", she went on.
"But then you came, and you defeated the devil", she stated with a smile of gratitude, "and you saved me once again."
"No force in the multiverse can keep me from you", he stated once more, and Shalla Bal smiled warmly as she knew he meant every word.
"So what now, beloved?"
"Now", replied Norrin as he held Shalla Bal tightly once more and lifted off of the ground.
The Surfer took to the sky, heading higher and higher into the atmosphere.
Within seconds they find themselves in the darkness of space, and, like a streaking comet, the Silver Surfer departs the lush Eden and disappears into the veil of stars...
"Now we go home."

Character you would like to play: Doctor Doom

Brief biography of the character's history: Born to gypsy healer, Werner Von Doom, and gypsy witch, Cynthia Von Doom, Victor grew up in the impoverished life of the gypsies. Despised by the Baron of Latveria, Doom's tribe was continuously hounded and hunted, never allowed a moment of peace. His mother tried to end this life of misery by making a pact with the devil, Mephisto. Cynthia gave the vile creature her soul in exchange for the power to stop the cruelty that was forced upon her people. But Mephisto had the last laugh. Cynthia was given the power to stop the Baron, but she was unable to control it. After nearly murdering the occupants of an entire village, the distraught Cynthia Von Doom was shot and killed by a surviving soldier.
Victor and his father did not have time to mourn her death though, as their tribe was again forced to flee. One day though, the Baron's wife grew deathly ill, and none could help her. So the Baron did call on the services of Victor's father, Werner, to cure his wife. But the Baron's wife was too far gone and soon died. Angered and blaming Werner, the Baron went on a rampage. Werner died in snow bank, shielding Victor from the Baron's men. Not willing to kill a child, the men allowed Victor to live. Returning to the camp in the dead of night, Victor found his mother's box of occult artifacts and books, and pledged to himself that he would avenge his family and free his people from this life of fear.
Victor studied the ways of the occult as well as honed his impressively growing skills in science, the latter which led to the creation of impressive devices that kept the Baron's men at bay. Tales of these creations reached all the way to the United States, and the young Doom soon was granted a shcolarship at Empire State University in New York. Doom took the invite to go to school there, and met a man that would become a major figure in his future life, Reed Richards.
Doom soon became the prized student at the school, but all that changed when his roommate Reed arrived. Harboring nothing but contempt for the young Richards, Doom saw him as his inferior, not as a peer. Victor quickly moved into a single dorm room, and continued his private experiment: a device that would allow him to contact his mother from beyond. There was a flaw in it's design though, which Reed pointed out. Doom's pride did not allow him to see it though as he scoffed at Richards warnings. Activating the device, Doom was able to converse with his mother, and found out her soul resided in Hell. But Richards was right, and the device soon exploded, leaving Victor with a scare on running down the side of his face.
Victor was soon kicked out of school and returned to Latveria only to discover his people had been all but wiped out in his absense. Blaming Reed for all his problems, Doom vowed he would one day get revenge on the second-rate scientist. Doom then traveled the world, seeking a cure for his scared face. Soon he came upon a lonely monestary of monks in Tibet. There he lived for many years, mastering their sorcerous ways and quickly becoming their leader. It was here that he first crafted the armor that would one day become known throughout the globe. Eager to done it, Doom put on the mask before it was cooled properly, turning his once fixable face into a truly scared visage.
Doom enhanced his suit technologically, and soon returned to Latveria and disposed of the Baron and all of his supporters. Doom then declared himself King and began making Latveria into the tiny super-power that it is today. When the alien despot Darkseid invaded, Doom protected his country and it's people from attack. Soon Doom found himself under the eye of the rogue Kryptonian, Zod, but quickly turned the tables on the tyrant when he showed Zod he had his allies, Ursa and Non, help prisoner. After making a pact with Zod, Doom began hatching another scheme. Using the Psycho Pirate, Doom began gathering devices of great power in order to create the most amazing android the world had ever seen. A creature which would be used as a personal defender to Latveria and servant to Doom's will. Soon his creation will be complete.
Doom's creation, Amazo, proved to be a remarkable success, and along with his two Kryptonian servants, former prisoners Ursa and Non, Victor has begun the workings of a nefarious plan that will surely spell Doom for all...
List a few reasons why you have chosen that character: He's easily one of my favorite heroes in all of comics. His pacifistic nature coupled with his raw power is a fun balance to play. He's arguably the most noblest of heroes in all of comics, and I need that to balance out all the evil bastards I play.
What can you bring to this game?: It's freakin' Doom, one of comic's and the world's most recognizable characters! He's a villain and I'm sure you all know how I feel about villains. I have some big things planned for the Doctor...BIG plans.

The shadows danced over the stone walls of the ovoid room in the bowls of Castle Doom as the candles and torch light slowly flickered away.
Victor Von Doom, Emperor of the small but powerful country of Latveria, stood in the middle of a large en-circled pentagram drawn in white chalk on the stone floor. The chalk lines were flawlessly drawn, as though they had taken many painstaking hours to complete.
And so they had. When attempting dimensional travel, everything must be in perfect order.
To Doom's left and right stood his two Kryptonian bodyguards, Ursa and Non, and directly behind the monarch loomed his greatest creation, the android Amazo.
"Do not disrupt the outline", growled the Doctor to Non as the Kryptonian shifted a bit, almost rubbing his foot against a line of chalk that formed the pentagram.
Non simply grunted in subservience and remained still.
"There", spoke Doom, more to himself than his servants, "It is finally complete."
"Now, prepare yourselves", commanded Doom as he began chanting. As the ancient arcane words escaped from Victor's lips, the symbol began to pulse with an eerie white light. The pulse was slow and drawn at first, but soon increased in speed as the Doctor's chant grew louder.
Ursa crinkled her nose as a foul oder filled the air. The smell of sulfur.
Non grunted as he curiously watched his master finish the spell and the pentagram's pulsing light turned solid and began to envelope the four in a dome of energy.
"What is happening, Lord Doom", asked the apprehensive Ursa.
"Where is this magic taking us?"
"Do not fear, Ursa", Doom replied softly.
He stood in the middle of it all, a beacon of calm amid uncertainty. The white light from the mystical dome that had enclosed around him shining off his regal armor. Under his mask though, Doom stared out straight ahead. His eyes, along with his mind, looking more at what is to come next, his face an outer mask of the indomitable will that burned inside him.
When Doom spoke those four words, Ursa steadied herself and remained calm as the event transpired around her and the world began to blur and shift before her eyes.
"We have a date with the devil, and I do not wish to be late."
A green flame erupted around the dome and soon winked out of existence in a powerful implosion. The rush of air from the collapse violently put out every candle and torch in the ovoid room, bathing in entirely in darkness.
And as the dust settled the room was empty, it's four occupants now nowhere to be seen...
