Maybe you should add a sales tax, byrd, so you can make a little extra dough? A general price increase might just piss off the customers. :csad:
 
"One Universe" RPG SEASON III SIGN-UP FORM

Screen Name:
Catman_prb

Character you would like to play: Alexei Shostakov, the Red Guardian

Powers: Enhanced physical abilities, expert hand to hand combatant and weapons master.

Brief biography of the character's history: Alexei joined the Russian Army at an early age, becoming an airbourne cadet. When the Russian scientists had developed a modified version of the Super-Soldier serum, Shostakov was one of the first volunteers, and the only survivor of the early tests. He was promoted to the rank of Captain, given the codename Red Guardian and assigned to the 76th Airbourne Division.

List a few reasons why you have chosen that character:
  • In Soviet Russia, character picks up you!
  • I want to play a villain.
What can you bring to this game?: A modern version of an underused character. And a pineapple. Don't ask me why.

Color and font you plan on using for your character's speech: Arial bold, browny red thing.

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

Please provide a sample post with original content in the style that you plan to write your character in (must be at least 5 paragraphs long and contain at least 3 line of dialogue):

The night was rolling in, Shostakov thought to himself over the drone of the plane. The men were all lined up behind him, some fidgeting anxiously, others staring into the space of their own minds. Alexei entertained himself by running his hand over the two silver pips on his arm that identified him as a Captain, and the small ornate bear that showed he was a Russian Super-Soldier. His earpiece buzzed.

"Red Guardian this is command, you have a go. Roll into Azerbaijani airspace," he heard in his ear.

"Copy, command, rolling in," he shouted over the static. He turned his head to look at the men. They were young, as was he, and unexperienced. Apart from a short conflict a few months back, they had not known war, and they had not known the training that he had. But that would change. In time they would become warriors, and they would become feared by the rest of the world. So help him, God. The red bulb next to his head lit up. It was time. He stood.

"Red light!" he shouted. All the men stood as one, shaking their arms to get feeling back in their numb limbs.

"Check the man in front of you!" he shouted. They started patting down their comrades in front of them, checking for any irregularities in their kit. He got the all clear from the squad. There was a loud droning sound as the anti-aircraft guns opened fire. The light went green.

"GO, GO, GO!" he bellowed. Each man ran up to the door in turn, before taking the leap into the air. He watched the black silk parachutes open up in the night's sky, illuminated by AA guns. Then he took a deep breath and leapt out the door.

So good to not see my name on that list for a change. :)
 
I've been under the weather for the past few days, with no sign of quick recovery, so I'm not sure I'll be able to get a post up.

That said, if you want to bunny Tony along, wieg, you're more than free to do so. I've kept you waiting long enough.

Ahem. :cmad:
 
Will do, MB. Feel better so you can return to being a drunken *******. And a goatee wearing *******.


...what is with you and *******s.
 
Computer is operational. I lost a LOT of data, however... *sigh* My wireless network card is being a ****e, and it will not get recognized after I install the software for it on my computer, so I need to figure out what the hell is going on. Once I get teh intarwebs up and running, I should be fully operational. I might have time to do a post today (doubtful, but possible if I get the time while I'm babysitting all day) so we'll see. I know I'm up on the chopping block. Oh well.

~Shlee, happily posting from the working Mac at the house she nannies for.
 
In case you haven't seen, Syn and PP had to drop out. :(

This means Superman, Captain America, and Spider-Man are available.
 
Read back a bit, wieg. Only Syn really dropped out. PP's was a joke. (Hint: Highlight the end of it.)

I know this, because I was like a step away from applying for The Joker. :csad:
 
"One Universe" RPG SEASON III SIGN-UP FORM

Screen Name:
Blacklight

Character you would like to play: Clark Kent (Superman)

Powers: As a kryptonian, once he's absorbed the rays of a yellow sun, he gains the powers of flight, near complete invulnerability, enhanced senses and lung capacity, and immeasurable strength that can move planets.

Brief biography of the character's history: Clark Kent was your average farm boy from Smallville, Kansas. That was, until he found out he was adopted...

You see, Clark is not of this world. He's actually from a planet lightyears away. A planet called Krypton. His father was a brilliant Kryptonian scientist named Jor-El. He lived with his wife and newborn son, Kal-El, in peace, until Galactus attacked. He destroyed all of Krypton and every single inhabitant on it, except young Kal-El, whom of which Jor-El had sent in a ship towards a much safer planet. Earth.

Some time later, the spaceship had crashed in a cornfield during a meteor shower in Smallville. A cornfield owned by Jonathon and Martha Kent....

Upon investigation of what they thought to be a meteor, Jonathon and Martha found that it wasn't a meteor, but the ship from Krypton, with baby Kal-El inside. They had opened it, and once the baby Kryptonian was held in their arms, they decided to raise him as thir own, and even giving him the human name of Clark.

Since then, Clark has now become a mild-mannered grown man, and a reporter for the prestigious Daily Planet in the city of Metropolis. Of course, what people don't know, is that when Metropolis is in peril, Clark secretly uses his Kryptonian abilities, and morals of truth, justice and the american way to defend the city as the Man of Steel....Superman.

List a few reasons why you have chosen that character: Superman is THE greatest comic book superhero in history! And to play him would be an honor. A privelage that I wish to uphold. Not only because it would let me play one of the greatest superheroes in comics, but to finally show my skills as an RPer. I want to show this community that I can be capable to play a first-tier character, and that I'm no longer the idiot who didn't even know what a sample post was. I want to show everyone that I can play Superman.

What can you bring to this game?: I can bring frequent posting, and definate enthusiasm. Superman-wise, I'll post as him as best as I can. I feel like as each day passes by, my writing quality grows, and I want to put it to the test so I can be hopefully become close to the best of our Superman players in our community.

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

How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: I definately plan on posting alot per season. Hopefully maybe almost everyday.

Please provide a sample post with original content in the style that you plan to write your character in (must be at least 5 paragraphs long and contain at least 3 line of dialogue):

"KENT!! My office! NOW!"

The loud bellows of Perry White had brought all eyes on to the reporter he summoned, who timidly sat at his desk typing, and pushing up his glasses when he stood up.

That reporter was none other than Clark Kent. The guy everyone doesn't notice. The guy trying to make ends meet. The guy who'll never get the girl. The guy who's about to be yelled at by his boss...

"Y-you...wanted to see me, sir?" Clark asked after sticking his head through the doorway.

"Yes, Clark. Have a seat."

Clark fixed his glasses and took a seat in fromt of Perry's desk, twiddling his thumbs to relieve his tension.

"Kent, I need you to go to STAR Labs and cover the unveiling of the meteorite they found in Utah last week..." Perry ordered, showing clark the headline in yesterday's paper mentioning the event in question.

"But, sir. I don't know if I can cover an event like tha--"

"Kent, stop being such a pansy!" Perry yelled. Clark immediately pursed his lips shut.

"Now listen to me. I don't tell anybody this too often, but you're one of the finest reporters I've got on the paper. Your stories, Kent. They're amazing. You describe them with such detail...it's like you were actually there."

Clark looked down to the floor in embarrassment.

If you only knew, Perry...

But before he could continue listening to Perry, something was ringing in his ear. A faint sound. But it wasn't coming from the room. No. It was coming from elsewhere. So Clark concentrated, and he concentrated hard, so that he could make out the noises and piece them together...

BOOM!

"HEEEELP!!"


"SOMEBODY SAVE US!!"


"SUPERMAN!!!!"

But then Clark's attention soon turned back to Perry, so that he can end the conversation as quickly as possible and find out who's attcking the city.

"So what do you say, Kent? Are you gonna do it or am I gonna give it to Lane?"

"I'll cover the story, Perry. You have my word. As a matter of fact, I've got to run home to get ready. I'll see you tomorrow!" Clark responded as he rushed out of the door.

"I expect that story on my desk tomorrow morning, Kent! NO EXCUSES!!!" Perry shouted from his office at the powerwalking reporter.

"You got it, Perry!" He yelled back, heading for the elevator. He started walking faster and faster, even runing a few small steps, passing by all his colleagues.

"Whoah there, Smallville. What's the rush?" The elegant Lois Lane had inquired as the nearly running Clark sped by her.

"Emergency. You know how it is, Lois." He said taking those final steps towards the elevator before pressing the button and walking inside. As the doors closed, the last thing he saw in the Daily Planet office was Lois getting up from her desk and looking at Clark in the elevator.

Now. This looks like a job for...

Just as the doors completely shut, and Clark could feel the elevator going down, he took off his glasses pulled off his shirt to reveal the big red "S".

300473-109153-superman_super.jpg



In a matter of milliseconds, the mild-mannered reporter had finished shedding his clothes to become the Man of Steel.

The doors of the elevator had opened once it came to a stop, but when they staff looked in, there was no one inside. Because before the doors completely opened, Clark, using his superspeed, had ran outside and took off into the skies. Faster than a speeding bullet towards the origin of the commotion...

As Clark navigated his way through the skyline, the citizens below began to take notice of their icon, and began to cheer.

"Look everyone! Up in the sky!"

"What is it? Is it a bird?"

"I think it's a plane."

"No, it's...It's..."

Clark smiled as he knew what he was going to say. He was all too familiar with that line.

"It's me. Superman..."
