"One Universe" RPG SEASON III SIGN-UP FORM

Screen Name: Sentry2005

Character you would like to play: Genis-El, aka Captain Marvel

Powers:
Genis is armed with both a naturally superior biology (from his mothers Titanian heritage), as well as his fathers Kree powers. He is also provided a small additional power boost by the bonding with a Mon-El clone (see biography).
He is also armed with the Nega Bands, a weapon of Kree origin which allows for Flight, energy blasts, as well as transportation to and from the Negative/Phantom Zone.
He also has a form of cosmic awareness, a sense which allows him to detect anomalies in the universe.
Due to his bonding with Mon-El, as well as Kree physiology, Genis is also Super strong and quite durable. While he has displayed use of Daxamite powers, these are not within his control and as such rarely used.

Brief biography of the character's history:
Genis is the product of genetic engineering involving Mar-Vel, of the Kree Empire and Elysius, an Eternal from Titan. His mother, alone with the death of his father, artificially induced the aging process on young Genis, causing him to bloom from childhood into adulthood.
However, there was a flaw in Elysius’ plan; Genis’ body was unable to support itself, and now needed to be bonded to host body, as his father had once been before him. At that moment, three teenagers appeard to Genis and Elysius. Claiming to be from the 31st century, they told of a Legion of Superheroes, an intergalactic police force, inspired to fight for justice by Genis’ father, the hero the universe will come to know as Captain Marvel.
Taking Genis to the future, he was bonded with the Daxamite Mon-El, himself suffering from lead poisoning. The combination of both heroes kept both Mon-El’s lead poisoning and Genis’ biological disruption in check.
Genis-El (as he became known) fought with the Legion for several years, until it became apparent that he would have to return to his own time. Mon-El was separated from Genis, and substituted with a genetic duplicate created by Brainiac 5; devoid of its own life, but able to allow Genis a full existence.
Genis was sent back to what he thought was his own time, but finds himself sent back several years too early; his father hasn’t even arrived on Earth yet. Stuck in this time, it is up to Genis to forge a name for himself as Captain Marvel, until he can work out why he is here in the first place…


Three reasons why you have chosen that character:

1. I was here at the beginning (founding player) as Iron Man and wanted to get back into the rpg scene. Genis seemed like a character I could work with.

2. Want to try some Legion stuff. Plus been watching Lost and seeing time travel used correctly makes me envy that story telling technique. Here is my attempt :P

3. Think it adds some nice unique mythology to the RPG; Legion AND Mar-Vell introduced in one character, who doesn’t cut off access to them at any other point.

What can you bring to this game?:
Someone who loves to write, and will hopefully show you an interesting side to a old character.

Color and font you plan on using for your character's speech: Genis will talk in a Impact Blue kind of a font.

How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: At least once a day. I intend to be quite solitary with my arcs until I have more time (as a teacher, school holidays are where its at :P)

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):

Brainy said this would hurt. He was wrong. It hurt more.

My name is Genis-El; son of Mar-Vell, forgotten son of Daxamite, heir to the Eternals. It sounds loftier than it really is.

I’ve just got back here after a brief stay in the 21st century. Crazy, I know, but with the new Captain America being a chick, anything can happen these days. Heard she’s been seen with Superman in Metropolis as well…

But there’s nothing like the late 21st century to call home. 2078, the year of kings. The first thing I want to ask someone though is where the hell all the hover cars have gone…

That’s when I notice. Cosmic awareness kicks in. Somethings wrong. The universe is too… young. Not by much, barely noticeable. But it’s enough. Enough to tell me Brainy got it wrong.

I shoot up, taking to the skies for a better look. Things are missing.

No statue for Supergirl in Metropolis Park. I shoot to New York, no Stark Tower.

Right places. Wrong time.

I hate Brainy.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just a quick note to add; I've possibly overpowered Genis by bonding him with a Daxamite. I think it adds to the character, and makes the story feel more cemented in both Marvel and Legion lore. However, if GM's feel this needs to be changed, I will think of an alternative (it just seemed to make sense in my mind...)

*flashes everyone and then scurries out*

 

[Sentry2005]

Crap it. I've been waiting for an approval for like two days... you got my hopes up, and all i got was flashed

Also... should be 31st century in that application when he talks about a female cap... I can't be bothered to edit it.

 

[Shlee]

ALL YOU GOT was flashed? I am insulted. You suck!

Approved.

 

[Sentry2005]

In fairness, it was a text flash... If it had been an in the person flashing, I'm sure I'd have been more affected by it.

 

[Shlee]

Well you can thank me for telling Byrd to approve your happy flash-hating ass.

 

[Sentry2005]

Thank you

Also I don't hate flashes... just a text flash when i'm expecting an rpg approval for application. That's the only circumstance. Ever.

All other times, girls flashing is awesome. Mega awesome.

 

[Eddie Brock]

I'm seriously considering applying for my namesake...

*flashes everyone and then scurries out*

And I thought this day was going to suck.

Also... should be 31st century in that application when he talks about a female cap... I can't be bothered to edit it.

*smacks him on the back of the head*

What's wrong with you man?!

 

[Lockandload1]

I've learned my lesson. Here's my profile.



"One Universe" RPG SEASON III SIGN-UP FORM

Screen Name: Lockandload1

Character you would like to play: Character you would like to play: X-23 (Laura Kinney)


Powers: As a clone of Wolverine, X-23 possesses most of his mutant powers. However, since she is still in her teens, some of her powers aren't as developed as those of Wolverine.

Regenerative Healing Factor: Like Wolverine, X-23's primary mutant power is an accelerated healing factor that enables her to regenerate damaged or destroyed tissue with far greater speed and efficiency than an ordinary human. She is capable of fully healing injuries resulting in massive tissue damage and blood loss such as multiple bullet wounds, slash wounds, and puncture wounds within a matter of minutes. Her healing factor is developed to such a degree, she is capable of reattaching severed limbs, such as a hand. It is unclear, however, if she is actually capable of regrowing severed limbs or missing organs.

• Foreign Chemical Immunity: X-23's natural healing also affords her the virtual immunity to poisons and most drugs. She can be affected by some drugs, such as tranquilizers, if she is exposed to a massive dose.

• Disease Immunity: Due to her highly efficient immune system, X-23 is immune to all Earthly diseases and infections.

• Superhumanly Acute Senses: X-23 possesses superhumanly acute senses that are comparable to those of certain animals. She is capable of seeing at much greater distances, and with perfect clarity, than an ordinary human. She retains this same level of clarity in near-total darkness. Her sense of hearing is enhanced in a similar manner, allowing her to both hear sounds that ordinary human's can't and to hear sounds that ordinary humans can, but at much greater distances. X-23 is able to use her highly developed sense of smell to track targets by scent with an impressive degree of success, even of the scent has been eroded by natural factors, such as the weather.

• Superhuman Stamina: X-23's muscles produce considerably less fatigue toxins during physical activity than the muscles of an ordinary human. She can exert herself at peak capacity for about 24 hours before fatigue begins to impair her.

• Superhuman Agility: X-23's agility, balance, and bodily coordination are enhanced to levels that are beyond the natural physical limits of even the finest human athlete.

• Superhuman Reflexes: X-23's reflexes are enhanced to levels that are beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete.

Bone Claws: X-23's skeleton includes two retractable bone claws in each arm and one in each foot that she can extend and retract at will. These claws are housed beneath the skin and muscle. Unsheathing them causes her skin to tear and bleed, but the wounds are quickly dealt with by her healing factor. X-23 can unsheathe any number of these claws at once, although she must keep her wrists and/or feet straight at the moment the claws emerge. The claws are naturally sharp and tougher than normal human bone, allowing X-23 to cut through most types of flesh and natural materials.
Longevity: Presumably, because X-23 is a clone of the mutant Wolverine, her healing factor will also provide her with an extended lifespan by slowing the effects of the aging process.

Peak Human Strength: Because of her healing factor, X-23 can push her muscles, joints, and ligaments to levels beyond the natural limits of a woman of her height, weight, and build without sustaining injury. Unlike Wolverine, her skeleton isn't laced with Adamantium. While her skeleton, much like her musculature, can withstand greater pressures than a normal human skeleton, she can only withstand so much weight and pressure without sustaining fractures. While not superhuman, she is as physically strong as an ordinary human can be and can lift about 800 lbs.

Abilities
​

Expert Covert Ops Training: Raised in captivity, Due to her extensive training as a top-secret operative, X-23 has been trained to become a living weapon. She is highly trained in the use of long range weapons and explosives, and is an expert in assassination techniques.
Expert Tracker: Due to her enhanced sense of smell, Laura is a dangerous tracker and has memorized many different scents.
Master Martial Artist: She is an excellent hand to hand combatant, with intensive training in numerous armed and unarmed martial arts techniques.
Multilingual: Laura can speak fluent American English, French, and Japanese. She might be able to speak other languages.

​

Paraphernalia

Adamantium Claws: X-23's claws have been coated with the nigh-indestructible metal Adamantium. As a result, her claws are virtually unbreakable and are capable of cutting almost any substance, with the exceptions of Adamantium itself and Captain America's shield. Her ability to slice completely through a substance depends upon the amount of force she can exert and the thickness of the substance. Due to her healing factor, the presence of Adamantium in her body does not interfere with her bones' normal function of generating blood corpuscles. ​

Brief biography of the character's history:

A top-secret program originally failed to recreate the original Weapon X experiment involving Wolverine, but were able to salvage a single genetic sample with damaged Y chromosomes. A proposition was made to create a female clone. The geneticist that pressed on with the project was forced to become the surrogate mother;
Thus, X-23 was born.

X-23 was raised in captivity and trained to become a weapon. Her services were continually served to the highest bidder, leaving her emotionally stunted. A "trigger scent" was created by the company which forced her into a berzerker rage, and it was used to force her into killing her mother. As the surrogate mother lay dying, she named X-23 "Laura".
​

Three reasons why you have chosen that character:

1. Mentally/emotionally unstable characters interest me.

2. I stepped away from hero RP'ing a while ago, and I need to hone that skill again. This character strikes me as a challenge, and I'll do my best to work on it.

3. I want to see if I can really get into a character so unfamiliar to me.

What can you bring to this game?:
I'm determined. No matter what, I try my hardest to get ideas and actions across. And I greatly appreciate feedback; if I'm not doing something right, let me know.

Color and font you plan on using for your character's speech: Lucida Sans Unicode, color orange​

​

How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: I'll try for once a day, but it may fluctuate depending on my school schedule. However, I'll always try to get one in on the weekends.

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):

It had been three weeks since she had seen him.
Jason Rocher: A boy of only sixteen, like her, had captured Laura's attention a few months ago. The feelings she had for him were unusual;
so unusual, in fact, that she had cut her own arms with her claws out of desperation. Love, in itself, was so uncommon for her that she wanted to tear it away. And yet..

..!

Laura's eyes widened from behind the bushes.
He was back again! She watched him as he congregated with his friends, and her heart leapt against her will. That was, until he went to a girl in the shade of a tree and kissed her.

The claws unwillingly sprang from her hands, ripping the toughened skin in their way. Her eyes lit up with rage and betrayal as she snarled from her hiding place, and as soon as the girl made the mistake of walking far away from the crowd and towards the shrubbery, the battle was on.

"GRAH!"

Laura leapt from the bush with wild abandon as the girl opened her mouth to scream. However, she had enough skill to silence the blonde, underdressed lass before the others could hear. Laura growled as she took her rage out on her target, slashing away with blind rage. A splatter of blood here and there, until the long curls were covered in foul crimson.

She huffed after making quick work of the prey, and made an immediate move to conceal the body. Laura hissed as she quickly made a shallow hole in the ground for the blonde and dumped her minced parts inside, kicking the dirt back into its normal place.

"You worthless piece of ****. I hate you, I hate you, I hate you so much...
Couldn't you have gone after someone else? Not him...Why did you have to go after him?!"

Laura's quiet scorning became less vengeful and more tear-choked as she finished the makeshift burial. It wasn't killing the girl that made her unhappy..
Not at all. What disturbed her was that she knew she couldn't return to this place again. That one outburst had cost her dearly, and the bitter feeling of a broken heart pressed against her chest. It was driving her to get off the premises. And once she was far enough by herself, she would cut her arms in self-loathing. The emotions of confusion and sadness ran through her body like a shockwave as she turned and ran into the woods.

Any idea how much longer this league meeting is gonna last? I wanna get the Brotherhood into some destruction.

 

[Eddie Brock]

I'm seriously considering applying for my namesake...

...but instead, I'll do this:

"One Universe" RPG SEASON III SIGN-UP FORM

Screen Name: Eddie Brock

Character you would like to play: Dr. Bruce Banner/The Hulk

Powers: Strength/speed/leaping - all proportional to Hulk's anger level. The more enraged he becomes, the more enhanced these abilities are. Bruce's size increases dramatically when he's transformed - rising to a height just above 9' tall.

Brief biography of the character's history: Caught in the radiation of a gamma bomb explosion, Bruce Banner should have died. Instead, something new came to life inside him. Whenever Bruce is upset, he is transformed into something that is known only as the Hulk. Chased by the US government and separated from his love, Betty Ross, Bruce searches desperately for a cure. Bruce has an ally in Bruce Wayne - even though the Hulk killed Dick Grayson's parents during a rampage.

List a few reasons why you have chosen that character: I enjoyed my run as the Hulk, and it only ended because Superman was up for grabs. That said, I had plans, and I wish to pursue them.

What can you bring to this game?: Hulk brought nachos! (Nobody tell him that we don't have dip. It won't be good.) Anyway, by "nachos," I'm sure my oversized, green friend means "active participation" and "enthusiasm." The Hulk likes to speak in metaphors.

Color and font you plan on using for your character's speech: Green Arial Narrow for Bruce Banner/Dark Green Arial Black for the Hulk

How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: These kinds of questions make the Hulk angry, so let's move on...

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):

There are aspects of my personality that I can't control.

Where am I now? I move around so often, it's hard to keep track of myself. Well, I remember that I ran into Spider-Man a few weeks ago, so I must be in the United States. But I could be anywhere by now.

Okay, this is a motel room. That really doesn't tell me much. Let's check the drawers. Here's a Bible and a phone book. Texas? I'm all the way in Texas? Already? That's right. I remember now. I was making a break for the border, and I decided to stop for the night. I can't stay stateside for long. Lord knows that enough people are looking for me...

What's that? It sounds like...a helicopter. Oh no, don't tell me that they found me! I knew coming back to the US was a bad idea! I should have gotten in touch with Bruce Wayne. He could have found a safe place to hide. Think, Bruce, think! The sound of screeching car tires and approaching helicopters can only mean one thing. I peer out the blinds to confirm my worst fears. It's the Army.

And when I lose control, it's very dangerous to be around me.

I can feel him trying to break free. I know that it's my only hope, but I can't let him take over. "There has to be another way," I assure myself.

No.
