So, I'm assuming that once Magneto strikes, I can just have some low-level mutant group attack Keystone?

So, I'm assuming that once Magneto strikes, I can just have some low-level mutant group attack Keystone?

Sure go for it. Magneto and his force are all going somewhere, but I don't see why mutants that believe in his cause wouldn't take their own initiative.

 

[Carnage27]

Well guys. Let it begin!

 

[Eddie Brock]

Finally!

 

[wiegeabo]

Ok, since the attack's moving forward, I moved us forward as well. I figure the team stuck with the original plan to split up. This lets us get rid of any NPC's we don't want to write for since we could say they're sticking around in their assigned city to handle any local uprisings.

Good idea.

 

[SenseiofCheese]

I hope no one minds Wally joining up with the gang in Metropolis. It's a big step for him, character-wise, to kind of look beyond Keystone in regards of what he's doing.

Also, I want to punch a lot of bad muties.

 

[Blacklight]

I'll be posting replies today everyone. Sorry abput the lack of posting...

 

[wiegeabo]

Sensei, meant to give you these links about the backstory to Quicksilver I set up.

Jay helped train Pietro in being a speedster.

Thanks muchly, wieg. I knew Pietro had met Jay in some capacity so I had Quicksilver mention it, but it's a great help to have it all laid out in front of me to read.

 

[wiegeabo]

No problem. I was thinking I had mention QS and Wally had known each other, which is what made me look. Guess I didn't, so you're cool there.

 

[SenseiofCheese]

It'd be awesome if you have Jay spot Wally fighting Pietro. Could make for some interesting reunion time.

 

[Carnage27]

Hey EB, just letting you know you might want to do a little edit. Blob is in Metropolis. Sorry.

 

[Eddie Brock]

I'm gonna kill something. Ugh. I have other ideas, then.

EDIT: Problem solved.

EDIT 2.0: I know he's been used sparingly, but I'm hoping no one will really care that I have him with Magneto's forces. I plan to explain it in my next post.

 

[wiegeabo]

Wow. Looks like Magneto kicked this place into high gear.

On a side note, Keyser's made me sad.

I had Harvey listed as a hero for such a long time.

Then when he was injured and started to turn, I moved him to walking the line.

No, I had to move him to villain, and rename him Two-Face.


Damn you for making me care so much about a character!

 

[Keyser Soze]

It makes me sad too....

 

[trustyside-kick]

I kinda laughed, actually.

 

[Eddie Brock]

I must report that I am dropping Hulk. I was done with him for the Season anyway, and I want to focus on Spider-Man starting in Season IV.

 

[wiegeabo]

You were done after three posts?

 

[SenseiofCheese]

That's EB for you. Leave's you wondering if that was all there is.

I should know

 

[Eddie Brock]

You were done after three posts?

Well, I didn't know the Season was almost over when I picked him up. The arc I had planned was pushed back to next Season.

 

[Keyser Soze]

The Curse of The Hulk is worse than the Curse of The Punisher!

 

[Matt Murdock]

"One Universe" RPG SEASON II SIGN-UP FORM

Screen Name: Matt Murdock

Character you would like to play: Eddie Brock Jr., Venom

Powers: As a result of getting the black symbiotic organism after Peter Parker's encounter with it, Eddie Brock Jr. was granted all of the powers of Parker's alter-ego, Spider-Man. Wall-crawling, heightened agility, and superhuman strength. The symbiote itself creates organic webbing, giving Brock an infinite supply.

Brief biography of the character's history: When Eddie Brock was actually a good reporter, he wrote a story for the Daily Bugle. Unfortunately, only a small part of this story was true and Spider-Man uncovered Brock's lies. Now, that would be bad enough, but Brock also managed to get fired by J. Johnah Jameson; and he decided that he was going to commit suicide. He went to a church, asking for forgiveness from God for the sin he was about to commit. Turns out, Spider-Man was at the church, too. Yada, yada, yada... Black-suit, Goo, powers... you know the story...

Three reasons why you have chosen that character:

1. Venom gets such a bad wrap as being a character with no depth. He's just some homicidal freak who only wants to go after Spider-Man. In a sense, that's absolutely right, but I'd like to bring another layer of him to the forefront.

2. Forget that "Lethal Protector" garbage. That's going out the window. This Venom's going to hunt down Spider-Man.

3. I like the character.

What can you bring to this game?: A unique take on Venom.

Color and font you plan on using for your character's speech:
Eddie Brock: Black, Book Antiqua
Venom: Black, Book Antiqua, Bold

How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: As many as possible / necessary.

Please provide a small sample post with original content in the style that you plan to write your character in:

IC: Eddie Brock Jr.

Eddie Brock stumbled into his apartment, still tattered from Spider-Man's breaking into it.

His head was pounding... he could feel his heart racing.

In an attempt to relax, he put on some music, full volume.

Holy Diver!
You've been down too long in the midnight sea
Oh what's becoming of me

​

What was happening to him? What had happened in the church?

He was going to kill himself, but he didn't. A voice told him not to.
​

Ride the tiger
You can see his stripes but you know he's clean
Oh don't you see what I mean

​

Whose voice was it?

​

Gotta get away
Holy Diver!

​

"Who the hell talked to me?" Brock asked himself, as the music persisted.
​

Shiny diamonds
Like the eyes of a cat in the black and blue
Something is coming for you

​

<"I did, Edward..."> The same voice said.

​

Race for the morning
You can hide in the sun 'till you see the light
Oh we will pray it's all right

​

Brock spun in a circle. That voice.

It had followed him home...

It was after him.

​

Gotta get away-get away!
​

That's what he had to do... He had to get away.
​

Between the velvet lies
There's a truth that's hard as steel
The vision never dies
Life's a never ending wheel

​

<"Edward, you don't need to run."> The voice said, sounding disappointed.

"Who are you?" Brock asked, still looking for the voice.

<"Where did you first hear my voice, child?"> The voice asked.

"The church..." Brock mumbled.

<"Do you see Edward? Do you see who I am?">

"God?" Brock asked, slightly confused.

<"No... I'm God's gift to you. You asked for the power to crush Peter Parker. So now I have been given to you."> The voice in Brock's head continued.

The music grew louder.

​

Holy Diver!
You're the star of the masquerade
No need to look so afraid

​

"You're here to help?"

<"I'm here to give you whatever you need."> The voice said.

Brock felt liquid slipping up his face and he welcomed it. He felt no fear. He instead felt like he was seeing things clearly for the first time... through a pair of new eyes.

<"The gifts I give you are yours to do with what you will... but the first gift I'm giving you is...">

​

Jump on the tiger
You can feel his heart but you know he's mean
Some light can never be seen

​

"Peter Parker." Brock spat, embracing his new voice, as he was enveloped in darkness


Do you know how to post pictures on the hype boards?: Yes.

"One Universe" RPG SEASON III SIGN-UP FORM

Screen Name: Peter Parker

Character you would like to play: The Joker

Powers: None. However, the Joker has a virtual arsenal of crazy-tastic guns, weapons, and other little 'toys.'

Let's face it, I'm probably going to make his tools up as I go.

Brief biography of the character's history: Well, not a lot is known about the Joker. He's a sadistic murderer with an obsession with Batman. He doesn't have a backstory, he doesn't have an origin. He just is.

Three reasons why you have chosen that character:

1. A while back, I had a massive IC fight with Karem as Daredevil. I'd like to try it from the other side this time.

2. I was told by pretty much every one of my (imaginary) buddies in Ultimate Marvel that my Deadpool was pretty good. He's the closest I've ever come to playing a real, bona fidelus psychopath; until now, that is.

3.

What can you bring to this game?: A pretty decent writer who has read plenty of Joker-related comics.

Color and font you plan on using for your character's speech: Century Gothic, Bold, 2, Purple.

How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: As many as is required by my fellow players.

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):

​

Please allow me to introduce myself.
I'm a man of wealth and taste

The city has been quiet lately.
​

I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a mans soul and faith
And I was round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain

That's a good thing, I suppose. Well...

Good for a few individuals, as far as I reckon.
​

Made damn sure that pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate

And, well, my reckoning is pretty well-off, to be honest.

Sure, I get off by hearing the terrified cries of innocent bystanders, but, hey, who doesn't?
​

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name

I've found in my years of gleeful misanthropy, one word has been common among the teeming, terrified, tumultuous masses:

"Why?"

Their papers print it in their headlines, their news anchors ask it time and time again, and the mommies and daddies ask each other before they go to sleep every night.
​

But whats puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

The answer is invariably simple of course, as most things in life are.

It makes me smile.

Then again, what doesn't these days?
​

I stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain

People these days are far too serious. After all, there's a punch-line in everything.

Isn't there?

Bombings, robberies, and rapes all have a brighter side, you've just got to be enlightened enough to see it.
​

I rode a tank
Held a generals rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank

Psychopaths, loony-toons, and kooks all have the right idea. I mean, when do you see one of them without a big ol' grin on their face?
​

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Ah, whats puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah

The city has been quiet lately.​

I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made

That's a good thing, I suppose. Well...

Good for a few individuals, as far as I reckon.​

I shouted out,
Who killed the kennedys?
When after all
It was you and me

And, well, my reckoning is pretty well-off, to be honest.

Sure, I get off by hearing the terrified cries of innocent bystanders, but, hey, who doesn't?​

Let me please introduce myself
Im a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reached Bombay

The city really has been quiet, even if my head hasn't.

Now, I know what you're thinkin'.

And, no. I don't hear 'voices.' I'm not crazy.

Just enlightened; ideas buzzing here and there inside my mind... it gets hard to keep track.
​

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But whats puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby

The city's quiet.

It's about time I change that.
​

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah

Hope you guessed my name.
​

But whats confusing you
Is just the nature of my game

"Woo-woo!"​
