[Byrd Man]

So...who's on first?

But, yeah. Cats maybe give it a day to see if Karem shows up to object.

 

[Catman_prb]

Okay, I make that 24 hours since Luthor was chopped, and since I applied. I'll have my first post up in a few.

It's been almost 3 weeks since the last post according to wieg's latest character list, so here's an application

"One Universe" RPG SEASON IV SIGN-UP FORM[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Screen Name: Blacklight[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Character you would like to play: Peter Benjamin Parker; The Amazing Spider-Man[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Powers: Able to cling to any surface, enhanced agility and reflexes, disproportionate strength, "Spider senses" that allow him to sense dangers that approach him. He also was able to create webshooters to dispense artificial webbing he was able to synthesize himself, and using said webbing he's able to swing around the city (his preferred method of transportation).[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Brief biography of the character's history: Peter was just 15 when he was bitten by a radioactive spider that endowed him with various arachnid abilities as well as the knowledge needed to create his own biodegradable web compound and wrist mounted 'web shooters' to go with it.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]At first, Peter used his powers for selfish reasons, until his own selfish acts led to his Uncle Ben's murder. Since then he's used his powers responsibly and helped to protect his hometown of New York City from crime as Spider-Man.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Recently, he's broken up with longtime girlfriend Barbara Gordon (aka Batgirl) and began a relationship with Gwen Stacy, his high school crush. He's also been wearing a fabric version of his black suit after the recent events that lead to the destruction of Stamford, CT. [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]List a few reasons why you have chosen that character: After many missed opportunities, I'm ready to play Spider-Man again, for I've never had as much fun in the RPGs since I played him in Ultimate. Spider-Man is a longtime favorite character of mine, if not my all-time favorite.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]What can you bring to this game?: The usual: Reliable posting, writing I put my heart and soul into as well as some fun-filled arcs I hope you all like taking part in.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Color and font you plan on using for your character's speech: Blue Comic Sans MS for Peter, Bold Red Comic Sans MS for Spider-Man (Black while he still wears the faux Black suit)[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: As many as I can.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]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):[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]

Damn you, Luthor. Damn you to hell...​

[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]After a rather... displeasing day at school, to which Flash Thompson heavily contributed, I came home just in time to catch our 'Commander in Chief' Lex Luthor's latest press conference where he re-instated the Sentinel Program and he was trying to initiate his Superhuman Registration Act on the news. It took all I had to keep from throwing my remote through the TV screen in anger. Then, as if that wasn't bad enough, all the news channels kept showing the scandals surrounding the League courtesy of Hank Pym, and instantly I knew it was ALL Luthor's doing. He's clearly trying to trash their reputations... More than likely so the public will lean more towards his Avengers as opposed to us.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]I keep playing all the news reports, as well as the press conference in my head over and over, realizing that Luthor's not playing around. He's going all out on this one.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Having his lead man trash the JLA, only to introduce his own twisted analogue to them. It makes me sick. But as much as I hate that man with every fiber, every molecule of my genetic makeup, for Gwen's and Aunt May's sake, I have to leave those matters up to the big boys and stay out of it. As much as the League can use mine and the Titans' help, I can't instigate Luthor into targeting me. I just have to go about my own thing, and hope for the best...[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]And as such, I'm going about my normal activities as planned.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]"Hey, buddy! The Flash called... He wants his gimmick back."[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Or rather my not-so-normal activities.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[FONT=&quot]"I'll make you eat those words..."[/FONT] The lightning-emblazoned criminal snarled as I fell gracefully from my webline and landed before him.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]"Ooh... I'm so scared!" I sarcastically remarked, "No wonder why your name is Speed Demon..."[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]

Spoiler

[/FONT]

​

[FONT=&quot]"I'll teach you to mock me, pest!"[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]In a scarlet-navy blur of speed, he charged at me, which was enough to send a painful message from my spider-sense to my head, and my reflexes made me jump up and stick to an adjacent wall.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Looking up at me and noticing how I'm no longer in his line of fire, he stopped.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[FONT=&quot]"Come back down here and fight like a man!"[/FONT][/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]"Y'know, all you villains are the same... Always wanting me to come down and fight like a 'man'. How about you come up here and fight like a spider!?"[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Now, when I said that, I totally forgot that when you have superspeed, you can defy gravity...[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]"Fine. If you insist..."[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]...which means he can run up walls.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]"Oh crud..."[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]BIFF![/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]"OOF!"[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]The super-speeding punch sent me skidding up the side of the building. Something of which caused a lot of friction between the brick and my costume, and made things more painful as it burned a quite a bit. I soon regained my bearings, however, when I jumped off the wall and fired a strand of webbing on the flagpole nearby so as to swing myself around, regaining my momentum. I released it to land safely on the roof of a car in the street below... But in seconds, he was already standing before me, leaving a gale in his wake.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]"Miss me?"[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
"Double crud..."[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Something tells me that despite how fast this guy is, this is going to be a really really really really long fight.[/FONT]​

[FONT=&quot]Do you know how to post pictures on the hype boards?:[/FONT]

[Byrd Man]

Did you run this by Carnage? I mean, he's past the two week mark, but the character's really not "open" until the thirty day point, or so I thought. I could be wrong.

 

[wiegeabo]

Carnage has 24 hours to post and keep his character, according to the rules.

 

[Carnage27]

Well it's a good thing I have a post almost ready for tonight.

Also, expect some upped participation from me. I'll be stuck at home basically very weekday night due to school starting, so posting will pick up.

 

[Keyser Soze]

I was coming on here to drop out of 1U, only to find I've already been removed from the roster!

I had run out of all spark for Iron Man. Really, the only reason I was keeping him was so as not to leave Karem-Knight high and dry after the arc we had planned together. But now he's gone too, so that's not even a problem. I hate to contribute to The Curse of Iron Man in this game, but I just couldn't carry on with him.

Thor is a harder one to drop. I had really big plans for him this season, and I think if I'd been able to follow through it could have been some of my best work. And that's why I was trying to hold onto him, despite failing to get motivated to post. But no, I don't think I can do my planned arc justice, not if it's posting just to stay in the game. So with a heavy heart, I drop Thor too.

It may not be goodbye. I left 1U back in Season 1 after having a great time playing Lex Luthor, then came back in Season 2. So maybe there'll be a comeback down the line. But for now, I feel like I just can't devote the time and effort this great game deserves. Sorry guys.

 

[Carnage27]

Holy crap he's alive!

And he's leaving us...

 

[wiegeabo]

So that's what it takes to get Carnage to post.


Also, screw you Keyser!

All those things you said that night were obviously lies. You don't care at all.

 

[Carnage27]

So that's what it takes to get Carnage to post.

I promise I'll be better!

If at first you do not succeed...



"One Universe" RPG SIGN-UP FORM

Character you would like to play: Tony Stark, the Invincible Iron Man.

Powers: Through a powerful suit of exo-skeletal armor utilizing his repulsor technology, Tony Stark's suit grants him the abilities of flight, increased strength, and powerful repulsor energy blasts.

Brief biography of the character's history: After being the victim of a brutal missile attack, resulting in many shards of shrapnel being lodged into his heart, Tony Stark became a prisoner, forced to build weapons for the terrorists that held him captive, until he built a device that managed to keep the shrapnel from reaching his heart, and with it, an extraordinary suit of armor that he used to escape imprisonment and begin his superhero career as the Invincible Iron Man.

List a few reasons why you have chosen that character: Iron Man is hands down one of my favorite Marvel superheroes, and playing him once more would be my honor.

What can you bring to this game?: I was hoping I could bring a darn good Tony Stark.

Color and font you plan on using for your character's speech: Red Arial Bold for Tony, Red Fixedsys Bold for Iron Man

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

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):

"Tony... If your hearing this, then I've already left..." the message in Tony Stark's voicemail inbox started to play while he sat in the chair in his office at Stark Towers.

"I've decided that I'm not going to wait for you any longer... I've met someone, and even though I was going to wait for you to put a stop to your drinking, I can't anymore. I love him... and I'm taking time off from the League to be with him. I'm sorry..."

"End of message..."

Tony didn't say a word. All this time wasted he thought, and for what? I stop drinking for her, and she's leaving me anyways... Way to go, Tony. Way to go...

But I guess it was inevitable he figured. I mean, I almost just had a relapse as it is. What with Fury highjaking my Human Torch android, and my near quitting the League. I was just about ready to open that bottle up and chug it down whole. Who says it wouldn't have happened after me and Dinah got back together?

Tony sighed as he leaned back in his chair. Trying to hold back the tears... Because whether or not it was meant to be between him and Dinah Lance, it still hurt him... Deep down.

"Sir..." Edwin Jarvis interrupted, after entering his employers office.

"What is it, Jarvis?" Tony Stark replied, still focusing his eyes on the records handed to him from his faithful secretary of his latest sales.

"There's a phonecall on line-one from a Miss Virginia Potts for you, sir."

"Thank you, Jarvis."

Tony sighed before he pressed the button on his telephone that sat patiently on his desk, and bringing the reciever to his ear.

"Mr. Stark?"

"Yes, Pepper?"

"I just recieved a phonecall from a Whitney Frost regarding a proposition she wanted to run by you. Should I arrange a meeting?"

"Sir..." Jarvis interrupted again.

"Hold on a sec, Pep..." Tony asked, covering the mouthpiece with his hand. "What now, Jarvis?"

Jarvis simply pointed to the wall-sized window behind Tony, and Tony turned around in his chair to see a small explosion down below, and a man with a red and silver suit of armor, similar to his own, nearby. Tony quickly removed his hand from the mouthpiece in haste...

"Pepper? You still there?"

"Yes, Tony."

"Good. Tell this Whitney person that I'm available Friday, and while you're at it, cancel all meetings for the next couple hours. Someone apparently needs an ass-kicking..."

"Yes, Mr. Stark." she finished, hanging up on her end, before Tony did the same.

"Jarvis..."

"Yes, Mr. Stark?"

"Prepare the suit." Tony stated, getting up from his desk.

"Yes, sir. Anything else, sir?"

"Yeah..." Tony said, pulling a secret lever on his office wall, revealing the entrance to his Iron Man lab.

"Get me a scotch. Something tells me I'm gonna need it..." Tony Stark asked his faithful butler, figuring that there was no more reason to stay sober.

Despite his heart being broken and shattered, there was still a job to do, and Tony Stark knew it would be a job for the Invincible Iron Man.

 

[Catman_prb]

Yeah, I'm dropping Jamie. I just can't play him like i used to.

"One Universe" RPG SEASON IV SIGN-UP FORM

Screen Name: J'adore

Character you would like to play: Jessica Belle Chambers aka Jesse Quick

Powers: Superhuman Strength: She possesses super strength like her mother.
Super Speed: Using her father's formula "3x2(9yZ)4A" she is able to move super fast and to turn it off she can speaks the formula "Z25Y(2AB)6." She was eventually able to solve the formula.
Flight: She can fly by running at super-speed and then lunching into flight.
Phasing: She can vibrate her atoms at such a high speed that they can slip past atoms of solid objects.

Brief biography of the character's history:

Jesse Chambers is the daughter of the Golden Age heroes Johnny Quick and Liberty Belle. She was born in Queens, New York after the two young lovers quickly wed at a young age. Jesse was never really torn up over her parents' divorce, as she was very young. While growing up she eventually learned how to access the speed force using her father's mantra. She had also managed to master her super strength and the ability to phase and fly through her speed.

Hearing about her mother and father's adventures in the Invaders back in WWII, Jesse was inspired by their heroic acts and was fascinated how they fought alongside the world's greatest hero, Captain America. Jesse was trained by her mother in the skills of hand-to-hand combat and trained by her father on how to perfect her speed. She soon decided she too wanted to become a hero herself, embarking on brave missions, always going solo. Her parents were reluctant at first, but after she proved herself that she was a hero of her own, they supported her 100%

During one of her late night outings, she met Nathan Heywood - Grandson of Commander Steel, one of the Invaders and her parents teammates. The two had an instant attraction, and it wasn't long before they fell in love. History was repeating itself as Jesse fell pregnant at just 19 - But all good things have to come to an end. After a brutal attack from The Fourth Reich -a group of Nazi's- Jesse was left highly wounded and Nathan was sent into a coma.

It wasn't long before Jesse discovered she had a miscarriage. The trauma got to her and she stopped being a hero, retired you could say. She started to rebuild her life and a year later - Nathan awoke from his coma and the two carried on their relationship.

List a few reasons why you have chosen this character: [FONT=&quot]: [/FONT]Jesse is a great character to play as she's independent and has a lot of connections to various heroes, due to her relation to Liberty Belle and Johnny Quick.

What can you bring to this game?: A player who can take a character out of it's comfort zone and make it work.

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

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

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):

Sitting next to my boyfriend on a crisp Friday night is just what I want right now. A busy day at the office is welcomed by a loving boyfriend with our favourite meal, Chinese. We fight over the remote, we share our food, she ask how our day was. Simple things, that normal couples do. But, of course, there's nothing normal in the life of Jessica Belle Chambers. My mother was Liberty Belle and my father was Johnny Quick. Two very different people with very different abilities...Who married.

But I guess I can thank them in some ways. If it wasn't form them and their friendship with Henry Heywood, I wouldn't of met Nathan - the love my life, the would be father of my child...The hero once known as Citizen Steel. But now, everything's...alright, you could say. But I do miss my heroic days. Short lived but certainly worth while. Nathan says he doesn't miss those days, but I know he does. He didn't have any abilities, but he was the best weapons marksman, the best fighter, I knew. His skills compared to mine and together we were unstopabble.

"I'm just going to let my hair down...I'll be in the bedroom. Back in a minute," I flash a smile at Nathan, giving him a soft kiss on his cheek.

I leave the sofa gently, placing my glass of wine down on the wooden table. I walk up the stairs and watch my reflection in the mirror. I sharply spin round, pulling the scrunchie out of my hair and throwing it onto the bed. I stare blankly above my wardrobe cupboard. A dark, dusty garment bag lays there, almost calling my name. I jump onto my bed, almost silently. I gracefully stretch up my arm, grabbing the garment bag and yanking it down from on top of the wardrobe cupboard. Blowing the dust off it, I carefully pull the zip down.

I breathe heavily before I can see the tight red fabric peaking through. I take the outfit out, running my hand down the smooth red top. I kneel down on the bed, pulling the beige boots close to my chest, taking a deep breathe in. Staring down at the black mask I once wore, I place it around my eyes once again, starring into the mirror infront of me. I stand up again, still on my bed. I place my hands on my hips, smirking as I suck in my stomach.

"Jesse Quick..."

Iron Man and Jessie Quick are both Approved

 

[wiegeabo]

Ok, we implemented this in WoH to spur posting, and I think we'll do the same here.

So, we're going to move to a 21 day post limit rather than 30 day. Basically, go past 21, and lose your character, instead of the old 30.

Captain America is playing Byrd Man?!

 

[wiegeabo]

Yep. He got tired of the lazy bastard not posting for him.

 

[wiegeabo]

You fools! Joker just pulled the trigger. Gun the bastard down!

I promise Batman will look the other way.

 

[Byrd Man]

Heh. If this happened to be the real world, Joker and Harley would have been gunned down as soon as they even pulled a piece. That's if we were in the real world.

 

[Eddie Brock]

Thus ends my brief tenure as the Joker. It was fun.

 

[J'adore]

Byrd Man, are you still playing Cap?

I'm playing him in the sense that I'm smacking my head against the wall, trying to figure out where exactly I want to go next.

"One Universe" RPG SEASON IV SIGN-UP FORM

Screen Name: Carnage27

Character you would like to play: Teth-Adam aka Black Adam

Powers: Using the powers of the Egyptian Gods, Adam gains super human strength, endurance, speed, flight and mind powers.

Brief biography of the character's history: Teth-Adam was the son of the Egyptian Pharaoh Ramses II, and was chosen to be the wizard Shazam to be his champion and battle evil across the world, which he did for centuries. That is, until Adam, under the influence of Shazam's evil daughter Blaze, forcefully overthrew the government of Egypt and appointed himself ruler.

In response, Shazam stole Adam's powers from his body, which, being centuries old, withered to nothingness in seconds. Adam's power was stored in a scarab, which was discovered centuries later by one of his descendants, Theo Adam. Theo unleashed Black Adam's essence, and the god-like being took control of the country Khandaq, before President Luthor sent the Sentinels and Avengers to dethrone him.

Adam is now in the process of being broken out of a SHIELD facility in America.

List a few reasons why you have chosen that character: He can be a central figure in the current drama of the game, and allows for another side to the Luthor/JLA battle.

What can you bring to this game?: A nice anti-hero.

Color and font you plan on using for your character's speech: Georgia Bold

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):

An explosion rocks the SHIELD compound as my eyes flutter open and adjust to the harsh, white light of a medical examination room. I quickly attempt to regain my footing, but the SHIELD mental destabilization is still affecting my motor skills.

I stumble, but am quickly propped up by a man dressed in a SHIELD uniform, "Be careful, lord Adam. It may take a few moments for you to regain your strength."

"Thank you," I reply, standing on my own. "What is your name, man?"

"Tehnet Hassan," he says, bowing his head.

"Then once this is over, you will be rewarded, Tehnet Hassan. So says Adam," I reply. "Now, stand back. I would not want you to be harmed."

He does so, leaving the room. I nod to him, look to the heavens, and yell, "SHAZAM!"
