I'm sorry about not posting (ever) as Hawkeye. He's a character I don't know very well, so there wasn't exactly a set style I could use to write as him. Plus, I don't exactly know what his role is, what the arc he's in is about, and what the deal is with his various relationships. I'm interested in playing as him, but I just don't think I've got the gusto to stick it out with him. So, until I get a better handle on what's actually going on in this game, I'm going to drop him and try and get more involved with Deadpool. The recent Disney acquisition leaves a lot of potential for me having some fun with the fourth-wall, and that's something I'm interested in. With the Joker, I've been pretty isolated, and a little bit hesitant to really dive in deep. Hopefully, with Carnage's arc, I can change that.
"One Universe" RPG SEASON III SIGN-UP FORM
Screen Name: Matt Murdock
Character you would like to play: Deadpool
Powers: Deadpool was involved with the Weapon X program, and, as such, has an incredible healing factor. Usually, he's one to use weapons and violence in a situation, instead of his words. Wilson's aim is borderline perfect, with a wide assortment of weapons.
Also, he can teleport for no reason whatsoever.
Brief biography of the character's history: I've played him before. Weapon X, Wolverine, fighting, Origins. Yada, yada, yada.
List a few reasons why you have chosen that character:
- Deadpool's a fun character to write as.
- I want to bring some comedy to the game.
- It's hard not to enjoy playing as Deadpool.
What can you bring to this game?: Really, the thing I want to bring to the game is a version of Deadpool that's more satirical than he is simply stupid. Granted, in order to accurately portray him, there'll need to be some aspects of idiocy here and there, but, for the most part, I want to try and be humorous, as I noted in my Peter Griffin application in Pages. What's more, there's a story that's just starting off, so I've actually got a story to start off with right away.
Color and font you plan on using for your character's speech: Impact, 2, Black/Red
How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: So many.
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):

"This is bad."
Deadpool sprinted along rooftops, leaping over alleyways. Behind him, at least a dozen members of the Kingpin's personal guard were following him.
"This is bad on so many various levels."
He teleported hither and thither, over rooftops and between bullets, with no discernible pattern. His stream of teleportation, it seemed, followed as logical a course as his stream of consciousness.
"Never should've decided to go after the Kingpin."
Deadpool's Journal
September 3, 2009
Went to Kingpin's city hideout.
"No, Wilson!" He cried aloud.
"As addicting as it may be to think that way, you can--"
Was met with ambush. Lots of tough men with their stainless steel guns.
Think they're strong, think they're important.
Don't know how wrong they are. Don't see big picture.
Don't see that they, their boss, and I don't matter.
Don't make difference. For all our guns and anger and money, don't change things.
Nothing changes. Nothing ever changes.

"Argh! Just stop it!" Deadpool roared, spinning on his heel and drawing a sai and his katana. With precision and deadly accuracy, he teleported, appearing behind one of them. The katana sliced through the man's midsection with ease. Hurling the sai at the other man, Deadpool watched as it tore into the bone between his eye.
"Ha!" He snarled behind his mask, grinning gleefully.
"Looks like ninjas can't dodge everyth--"
Goons were easy to eliminate. Problem lies with head of snake, not body.
Must find head of snake. Must find Kingpin.
Must find Wilson Fisk.
Deadpool blinked behind his red and black mask, retrieving the sai from the skull of his opponent.
"Through the internal narrative," He said happily,
"I suppose I'm going after Kingpin, the greatest sell-out, sleezeball, and loathsome mobster of all time."
"Oh, Boy, ho-ho!"
