"One Universe" RPG SEASON III SIGN-UP FORM
Screen Name: Syn (Mercenary)
Character you would like to play: Jim Hammond, the first Human Torch.
Powers: Fire manipulation, flight, able to live without oxygen for periods of time.
List a few reasons why you have chosen that character: After reading Marvels, Jim Hammond peaked my interest in, 'who was he really?' Now after reading Avengers Invaders, I think it'd be interesting to see this guy be played. Especially since we already have a Torch, but this guy is different in a lot of ways. And if anyone has read Rising Stars, well Jerry Montrosse kicked ass.
What can you bring to this game?: A good RPGer with some interesting stories and a cool spin on a classic character.
Color and font you plan on using for your character's speech:Franklin Gothic Medium Red
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 (must be at least 3 paragraphs long and contain at least 1 line of dialogue):
It's been so weird for me. I just woke up one day and...existed. I had no name, no job, no home, nothing. Who am I? Why was I lying on that rooftop? Do I have amnesia? I must.
As I walk down the streets of New York, I check my pockets. As I slip my hand through the fabrics of my pants, I find nothing. No wallet, no money...and no ID. What guy wakes up on a roof in nice cloths with no memory or ID?
As I turn the corner, a man suddenly bumps into me. Instead of my body giving, it stays firm. The man falls backward, landing on the ground in a hard drop. Quickly, he gets back to his feet, yelling in my face.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" He screams. "Watch where you're going! Who do you think you are?"
"I don't know." I respond simply. It's true. I don't. Who am I?
"Yeah, smartass? You think that's funny?" The man throws a punch to my chest. I feel him hit me hard, but for some reason, it doesn't phase me. I feel no pain. "What the hell, you want me to hit you harder?" The man throws a punch to my face, this time knocking me back a step. He grins as he sees my surprise, somehow satisfied in my falter.
Suddenly, I feel a warm feeling come over my body. It spreads from my chest, moving to my arms and legs quickly. I expect to sweat, but for some reason, I don't. I look to the man in front of me and see him staring at me in fear.
"What?" I ask, moving toward him.
"Get away, demon!" He screams, running from me in fear. Why is he scared? Why is he- Suddenly, I feel my body burning. I feel an intense heat all over me. I look down at my arms, and to my shock, they are on fire. I am on fire.
"Oh my God!" I exclaim. The fire grows, the flames burning brighter and stronger on my body. "Someone...HELP ME!" I yell in panic. I'm on fire. I'm burning! How did this happen?
Maybe the question I am seeking the answer to isn't, "Who am I?" Maybe it's, "What am I?"
Do you know how to post pictures on the hype boards?: Yep.
