A) I'm dropping Magneto. Yes I know I suck.

B) Has Black Widow been used/introduced at all in this game?
 
I guess we can add "All X-Men characters not named Logan" to the "Cursed Characters" list.

Hey now, I played Nightcrawler from the end of Season II until like halfway through this season.

You saw Iron Man 2, then? :oldrazz:

:dry:

...

Twice.:awesome:

After some searching, I haven't found anyone who's used her, so I'll write up an app.

Screen Name: Carnage27

Character you would like to play: Natalia Romanoff/The Black Widow

Powers: None, however Natasha is a master combatant, both armed and unarmed. She is also a master acrobat, and trained by SHIELD as a mast of espionage, becoming an expert hacker, seductress, and tactician.

Brief biography of the character's history: Natalia Romanoff was born in Soviet Russia in the early 1980s, but barely spent anytime in her home country, as her father, then a top KGB field agent, defected to America.

From the day she could walk, her father began training her in the art of espionage, and when she came of age she was recruited into SHIELD by Nick Fury himself, who was very good friends with her father.

Natalia quickly established herself as an excellent field agent, as well as becoming Fury's go-to agent for espionage, completing spy missions in Russian and Victor von Doom's Latveria.

But when Lex Luthor was voted into the presidency, and Fury was cast out as SHIELD's leader, replaced by Amanda Waller, Romanoff was caught in the middle. Fury ordered her to stay in the department as a double agent against the new corrupt regime, which she agreed to. Now, Natalia stands between two sides of a conflict that could soon explode into full-blown war.

List a few reasons why you have chosen that character: Scarlett Johansson.

Kidding, of course. Kind of. Iron Man 2 has got me interested in the character, and I'd love to try my hand at a hero with no powers. And with SHIELD and the Justice League at odds, it'll be fun to play someone torn between both sides.

What can you bring to this game?: A hot redhead. Who doesn't love them?

Color and font you plan on using for your character's speech: Tahoma, Dark Red

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

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):

I sprint through the back alleys of Washington D.C., praying that they don't realize I'm gone. I kick off of a wall to hop a fence, not wasting anytime trying to go around.

It gets more and more dangerous to go AWOL, especially after the Amazo incident. Luthor has put a lock down on SHIELD, and Waller is like his puppet, moving when he tells her. It makes me sick to see what SHIELD has become, and that's all more the reason to get to this meeting tonight.

A voice calls to me from the shadows, and I slide to a halt, "Agent Romanoff, I was afraid you weren't going to show."

"Colonel Fury," I respond with a smile. "It's good to see you. I hope you've been well."

"Cut the crap, Natalia," Nick Fury responds in his usual, gruff voice. "I've got another request for you."

"You're not the only one, Nick."

Looking forward to doing some "black-bag" stuff with Black Widow as Cap. :awesome:
 
Are we going to get some sexy action between Keyser and Carnage? :awesome:


...I mean, with their characters.
 
Hey Keyser and Byrd, mind if Black Widow meets you at the airport?
 
Really sorry for my lack of posing here guys, I have A-Levels so I'm kind of pre-occupied but the good news is that I finished my Drama exam yesterday, so I'll be able to get a few posts up during the next two weeks.
 
Sorry for not replying to your PM, KK. I'd rather discuss the issue over IM, if I can catch you on there at some point.

Good luck with the exams!

Screen Name: Optikal

Character you would like to play: Black Adam

Powers: From the Egyptian gods, Adam draws super-strength, invulnerability, flight and super-speed.

Brief biography of the character's history:

Teth-Adam is the son of the ancient Egyptian Pharaoh Ramesses II, and impresses one of the high priests, the wizard Shazam, with his good deeds. The wizard gives Teth-Adam the power to become the superhero Mighty-Adam by speaking the word "SHAZAM", which itself is an acronym of the initials of Gods from which his power is derived.

Mighty Adam serves as Egypt's champion for many centuries, but becomes corrupted by the charms of a mysterious woman, revealed to be Shazam's evil daughter Blaze in disguise. The bewitched Adam is convinced that he and his mistress should rule Egypt, so he kills the Pharaoh and appoints himself ruler.

Shazam learns of this treachery and strips Adam of his powers, encasing them in a mystical scarab necklace. Adam's depowered body rapidly experiences the aging process that the magic had staved off, and the former hero withers away into a dried cadaver in seconds.

Shazam buries both the body and the scarab in the tomb of Ramesses II, where he plans for it to remain for all eternity. In death, the former hero is referred to as "Khem-Adam" ("Black Adam"). Disillusioned by what he perceived as Adam's betrayal, Shazam waits several millennia before appointing a second champion to fight evil in his name.

Thousands of years later, during the late 20th century, an unscrupulous archaeological aide named Theo Adam finds himself assigned to the Malcolm Expedition, financed by the Sivana Foundation to excavate the tomb of Ramesses II. Adam uncovers Khem-Adam's tomb in a secret passageway, and leads his superiors, C.C. Batson and his wife Marilyn, to the discovery. Upon first sight of Khem-Adam's scarab, Theo Adam becomes obsessed with the artifact, and kills both Batsons in order to steal it.

Adam soon rises to prominence and becomes leader of the small country of Khandaq, where he rules with ruthless efficiency. He has travelled to the Norse realm of Hel in order to return the God of Thunder, Thor, to the living amongst other heroic deeds. Recently though, he has fallen victim to the evil machinations of the President of the USA, Lex Luthor. Coming to blows with the Avengers and surrendering to Luthor in order to half a massacre of his countrys citizens at the hands of Luthors robotic Sentinels.

Currently, Adam is held in a permanently sedated state deep in a top secret SHIELD facility.

List a few reasons why you have chosen that character: This game needs villains. I like Adam.

What can you bring to this game?: The usual.

Color and font you plan on using for your character's speech: Black, Bold. Georgia for Black Adam. Unbolded Georgia for Teth-Adam

How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: many.

-Out Of Continuity-

A hot wind whirled around the blazing sands surrounding the Egyptian city of Cairo. The sun was unusually hot this time of year in the desert country, known for its steaming hot summers. In the city, the markets were operating at full capacity, despite the extreme heat. Vegetables and trinkets of all kinds were being sold and traded as if there was no tomorrow. Small cars whizzed down the dusty streets next to camels and pack animals of all sorts. In a region of economic and social turmoil, everybody seemed chipper enough to give a wave to one another.

Away from the city limits, on the other side of the mighty and majestic Nile River lay the desolate and isolated communities of farmers and fugitives from the law. Surprisingly enough, not too far from there, closer to the dunes and bones, lay the imposing Cairo Provincial Prison; the English name of the jail. Surrounded by fierce sandstorms and miles upon miles of worthless desert made escape from the prison unacceptable not only to the bosses of the jail, but to the inmates themselves. They know full well what the desert can do to a man.

Technology hadn't kept up its visit to the prison; the walls offered only a laughable protection from the sand and wind and the bars were unusually weak. None of this matter, really, since the guards knew that no man would dare risk leaving one prison into an even worse prison known as the Sands of Death—the desert itself.

The cells were given to two inmates at a time. Crime was on a decline at this point in time, so less prisoners were left in the prisons. The guards still had their fun; however, Brutality was still a common part of daily life in Cairo Provincial; it was a matter of surviving the guard's attacks more than the inmates themselves. Still, the prisoners were the worst of the worst in this hellhole.

In the M wing of the prison, in a cell at the end of the block, a prisoner lay silent and stared at the ceiling above. A strong wind blasted sand and dust through a small hole in the cell. It didn't matter anyway; sand was always getting through one way or the other. His cellmate was in the midst of sleep while the racket of the other inmates was echoing through the cellblock.

Inmate Number #2356 is what they called him here. Outside, he was known as Theo Adam, a successful geologist and college graduate. When word of his incarceration reached those who respected him the most, an outcry started immediately. That is, until they found out who, what and how it happened. His friends and family turned their backs on him and left him to rot in this god-forsaken prison.

I'll get them all back for this, he thought.

"What do you plan to do today, Adam?" asked the groggy cellmate.

"I plan to escape from this hell, you pathetic insect," retorted Adam.

"Such temper, Adam! You have got to be joking about escaping," said the cellmate, rubbing his eyes and looking at the hole.

"I don't joke," said Adam.

"Can you please plug up that hole?"

Adam ignored him and looked out his jail cell down the cell block. One guard was walking up and down the rows, minding his own business as the other sat at his post and read a dirty magazine. Adam poked his head back in and lay on his bed.

"I'm sorry for what I'm going to do later, my friend," said Adam as he closed his eyes and rested.

"What are you talking about?" asked his cellmate.

"You'll see," Adam said.

Just a note there, Truemastermind, Kasper Cole isn't White Tiger right now. He's just a detective part of the GCPD's Major Crimes Unit. You can still use White Tiger, but let's just say he's not Cole.

I didn't say he was Kasper Cole, did I? Plus, I just thought the picture was pretty cool.
 
I didn't think you mentioned his name, I was just letting you know if you ever planned to.

Screen Name: Catman_prb

Character you would like to play: Jamie Madrox

Powers: Power to duplicate himself by use of any type of energy. This is restricted by the suit built for him by Moira McTaggert.

Brief biography of the character's history: Jamie grew up in one of the rougher areas of London. He was orphaned at three, and sent to live in a care home. There he was adopted by Dr. Moira McTaggert, at the age of 16. Also around this time, he became increasingly ill. McTaggert ran some tests herself, and found that Jamie's X-Gene was activating. Within a few days, he was creating duplicates against his will, through converting energy. Eventually Moira managed to create a device that allowed Jamie to control his power by thought, although large energy input will overide the device. After her colleague Charles Xavier opened his school, Moira decided it would be better for Jamie to be around children like himself and sent him over.

List a few reasons why you have chosen that character:
He's salvaged from the Westchester RPG, which never really took off.
It's my interpretation of an age-old character.
He seems a workable character for my annual attempt to stay in this game.

What can you bring to this game?: A player, which is always good.

Color and font you plan on using for your character's speech: Arial Dark Red

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

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):
Jamie pressed his head back against the chair in some kind of mute frustration. The flight from Gatwick to New York took around 7 hours and 45 minutes. He had spent 45 of those minutes, starting, reading and finishing the book he had brought with him for the journey. He had tried to fall asleep but the feel of being on a plane had kept him awake. The person sitting next to him seemed to be some kind of generic, over-weight New York businessman whose only purpose in life was to take up two seats.

The plane finally set down at some New York airport that Jamie immediately forgot. He grabbed his luggage bag and the battered guitar case, moving through customs as quickly as he possibly could. When he finally made it out of the throng of people there was a well built man with red shades on standing lazily by the gate with the name 'Madrox' written on a piece of card. Jamie walked over to him self-consciously, reasoning that there weren't likely to be any other Madrox's around.

"Er, hi?" he said, rather hesitantly. The man's attention immediately head immediately snapped round, focusing on him. Jamie was almost as tall as him, probably due to him being the largest 17 year old that he had ever met.

"Jamie?" he asked. Jamie shrugged. The man looked like he was expecting someone else.

"I'm Scott," Scott said.

"Nice shades," Jamie said, a wry smile upon his lips. Scott raised an eyebrow and gestured towards the exit.

"The car's out back,"

Just wondering; would the Titans be willing to recruit another mutant? Or is the evolutionary quota full?
