Only if you can think of imaginative ways to kill him.



...poor Cats.

 

[Catman_prb]

So...no chance of approval then?

 

[Byrd Man]

Fine, fine, fine. You're approved. Happy now, you *****?

 

[Catman_prb]

Brilliantly

 

[SenseiofCheese]

For those waiting on me for the Avengers, I plan on moving us forward soon. I had wanted to make a post where Hank Pym calls each hero to a meeting (the thing we all talked about), but find myself short of time right now.

So, in short, if you're okay with it, have your Avenger show up for briefing and we can roll on.

 

[Johnny Blaze]

Heh...I got post number 420 in the IC thread. It's fate.

"One Universe" RPG SEASON IV SIGN-UP FORM

Screen Name: Optikal

Character you would like to play: James Rhodes / War Machine

Powers:
Rhodes was trained as an aircraft pilot and studied aviation engineering while in service with the United States Marine Corps. He is exceptionally skilled in both fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft operation/maintenance and has piloted various aircraft at Stark Enterprises. Due to his Marine Corps training, Rhodes is an experienced soldier and formidable fighter skilled in the use of military weaponry such as small arms and a variety of unarmed combat techniques. In addition to being an accomplished pilot, engineer, soldier, and businessman, Rhodes derives multiple abilities from various hi-tech armors, either designed by Stark Industries or extraterrestrial in nature. With his years of experience with both the Iron Man and War Machine powered armors, Rhodes is skilled in armored combat and uses a more physical fighting style compared to Stark

Rhodes sustained several fatal injuries requiring an added life support system with cybernetic implants in place of his limbs and parts of his face.

The armor's computer displays can be projected due to holographic generators and the armor's systems are operated via a cybernetic link to Rhodes himself. The armor is composed of alloys such as titanium and Wakandan vibranium coated for stealth capabilities, and can be sealed for space and underwater travel. Armaments include sonic generators, pulse bolts, and miniguns. Besides being independent of all outside systems, the armor can interface with any system and has cybernetic interlocking capabilities that can integrate mechanical constructs to repair and upgrade the armor.

Brief biography of the character's history:
James Rhodes is an African American who was born in the South Philadelphia section of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. A lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps, he served tours of duty in Southeast Asia as a combat pilot.

He is a long time friend and ally of Tony Stark, the hero known as Iron Man. Stark has repeatedly offered Rhodes a career working for him. However, Rhodes heart was in his military career. After being retired as a disabled war veteran and after taking several career paths, Rhodes finally took Stark's offer and became Stark's personal pilot, chief aviation engineer for Stark International, and one of Stark's closest friends and confidants.

“Charging at 50…. Clear!”

BZZT!

“C’mon...”

“Charging at 100… Clear!”

“Come on damn you!”

Beep…



​

Beep... ​

Beep… beep… beep… beep…


“Welcome back Mr Rhodes”.

***​

He awoke in a bright room. The fluorescent lights hanging overhead hurt his eyes and he winced involuntarily. Most of his body was still heavily bandaged. The cannula in the back of his left hand itched and he hadn’t heard of the liquid that was being fed intravenously through it. His vision was blurred and his head swam in pain and confusion.

The whisper of a door hissed to his right and he felt a rush of cold air wash across his face. A man appeared at his bedside, a long white jacket over a grey suit and a clipboard cradled in his right arm. “Good Morning James. My name is Dr Thorne. How are you feeling?”

James lay back on his pillow and groaned. “Like I was hit by a damn truck”.

“Well, you've been through a lot. I thought you weren’t going to make it through. But I haven’t lost a patient yet, and you weren’t going to be the first. You’ll be feeling pretty weak for a while I expect, you’re doing better than I thought you would given the extent of your injuries”.

“What happened?”

“Well James..." The doctor swallowed and shuffled uncomfortably, unable to look his patient in the eye. "We had to amputate your limbs to save your life. You also had three broken vertebrae, a punctured lung thanks to two broken ribs. You had a shattered jaw and a cracked skull. Also, internal bleeding and bruising as well as various bodily scratches and crazes”.

Rhodes swallowed. His head swam. He was restrained to the bad and couldn't see the rest of his body. It couldn't be true though... hell, he could still feel his fingers! he could feel them right there on the end of his arms! Rhodes knew that was a common problem for amputees though. His rational thinking kicked in near instantly. “So… how come I ain’t dead?”

The doctor smiled, his thin lips spreading wide across his face. “Well, in short… you were. You died James and I brought you back. Thanks to pioneering technology and the sizeable wealth of the man that paid for this, I was able to bring you back. We've had to implant cybernetic technologies into your brain, your skull and your spine. It'll take time before you're well enough to undergo further operations, but with a bit of patience and time, we'll reconstruct you as best we can”.

James swallowed a breath, his mouth becoming dry. He scowled, his mind trying and struggling to drink in the new information. “Who paid for this and… why?”

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):


Alkali Lake.
Canada.
1972.


Two men sat alone in the small room. A large mirrored wall on the left of the room, provided a viewing space for a group of scientists to make their notes on the goings on. Within the grey box-room sat a man wearing a black uniform. Across the small table sat a dark haired man in a white vest and black jeans. He had the butt of a cigar in his mouth and casually blew smoke through gritted teeth after each puff.

The officer spoke up first, rummaging idly at a thick file on the table in front of him. “Mr Howlett, as you are aware, this organization has selected you for our programme for a very specific reason...”
“Because I’m a freak”, he grunted matter-of-factly.

The officer pursed his lips, cautious as to his manner around the other man.“We prefer the term ‘mutant’. But yes, you were selected for your mutant healing ability as well as your training and talent as a soldier. Our programme desires the best of the best and in your field, you are one of the best”.

“I’m THE best”.

“Indeed. Should you wish to sign up to our programme, you will be given training and preparation, as well as a position in our most elite black ops force. You will also be paid a significant sum for your time and co-operation”.

Logan scratched his face idly, considering the proposal. “What exactly is this ‘programme’ and what are you and your buddies standing behind that mirror over there planning to do to me?”
The officer flicked his gaze toward the mirror and back towards Creed. “I... uh… We plan to have you undergo a series of physically enhancing tests. Your body will be tested to the limit as we attempt to ‘enhance’ your already considerable talents”.

“Keep talkin'…” Logan leaned back in his seat and stretched his legs out, crossing them and folding his arms on his chest. “Look. You can be straight with me and we’ll be on the level, or you can keep tryin' to leadme down the long path and I can rip your arms off. Choice is yours, bub”.
The officer swallowed hard, his gaze flicking toward the mirror repeatedly. “Well, you will be partaking in a variety of experiments by the very best medical minds available. We will enhance your powers, give you better toold for job and make you damn near indestructible. You will be the fourth man to undergo our Super Soldier testing and should our tests be successful, you will join our group of genetically enhanced Elites. In short Mr Howlett, you will become super-human”.

Logan’s expression remained flat as he became lost in thought. After a few moments of silence and a whole load of erratic glances by the young officer, he smiled. He removed his cigar from between his teeth and died it out on the desk. Leaning forward, he caused the young man to tense “And if I say no?”

“Well Logan, you will be free to go about your life as you see fit. However, there is one more outstanding matter that we must address…”

"Heh" he snorted, “And what might that be?”

“Your father. He died around the same time you disappeared. We’ve been investigating his death for a long time. The killer was never found. But we know pretty much everything. The file is right here. Should you choose not to accept our offer, then I’m afraid this file might become a problem for all of us. However, should you undertake our programme, I’m sure you’ll find that paperwork… well, it can have a habit of disappearing”.

Creed scowled and let out a low throaty growl. “I knew you bastards had somethin’ up your sleeve the second you picked me up in that hell hole. Well bub, looks like I don’t have much of a choice then do I?”

The officer stood and smiled, moving to the door with the file under his arm. “We all have choices Mr Howlett. It’s what we do with them that counts. Welcome to the Weapon X program Logan".

Forgive Wieg. I smoked a joint of some good White Rhino with him, and he's not thinking too clearly.

 

[wiegeabo]

Happy now, ****ers?

 

[Johnny Blaze]

I am.

 

[wiegeabo]

I am.

That's just the weed talking.

 

[Johnny Blaze]

That's just the weed talking.

And I'm pretty much on a perpetual high, so if the weed stops talking then something's wrong.

 

[Johnny Blaze]

I'm confused. Did Nightcrawler just open the cafeteria doors and tell Scott to hold on, then teleport back to help Jamie?

 

[Carnage27]

I'm confused. Did Nightcrawler just open the cafeteria doors and tell Scott to hold on, then teleport back to help Jamie?

My bad. He grabbed Scott, told him to hang on, and teleported the two back.

I should have made that more clear. I'll edit.

 

[Johnny Blaze]

Ah, right on. That's what I thought you were getting at, but I wasn't sure.

 

[Johnny Blaze]

FYI, only Gambit, Nightshade, and Jean are currently helping to evacuate the facility. Storm is still with us.

I know JB is going to kill me...but I'm dropping Daredevil. I am so sorry, JB.

When the advanced civilisation of the planet known as Krypton was put into danger, it's top scientist rocketed his only son off the planet in a desperate attempt to preserve the dying race. Landing on Earth, the craft that carried the infant was found by a loving farming couple. Renamed Clark Kent, the boy grew up in Smallville, Kansas, where he discovered that he had abilities far beyond those of normal men. Told of his heritage many years later, the boy set out on a worldwide quest for answers, while discreetly using his powers to help other people. Taking up journalism while on his venture, Clark eventually returned to the US, and applied for a job at the top newspaper in the world: The Daily Planet, of Metropolis. Getting the job, Clark soon learned that he had a need to continue on with helping other people with his otherworldly abilities. The Kents, sewing him a costume and helping him invent a mild mannered persona with a pair of thick glasses, watched as their son left Smallville to persue his career in journalism. When moving to Metropolis, Clark encountered Lois Lane, the top reporter of the Daily Planet. But during an assignment covering Lex Luthor and Wilson Fisk's company merging, Clark was forced to reveal his new identity to the world, and thus, a hero was born. Dubbed "Superman" by Lane, Clark now continues to lead a double life of secrecy, both as the mild mannered reporter, and Champion of Tommorow

From Season II, one of my favorite Superman posts.


I stare as Hal, I mean Parallax, stands before us and Galactus.

"Are you sure about this?"

"If it means saving this world, Superman. Then so be it."

I curtly nod, this will probably be the last time I see the man who I've only just met and I already consider him a brother in arms.

"Do me a favor, though. Spread the word to all those planets you may come across and tell them one thing..."

"Earth is off-limits. No matter who you think you are or where you come from, You can't conquer Earth. Let them know that even the great devourer, Galctus, was stopped and sent with his tail between his legs."

I look around at all the heroes surrouning me, and for the first time I notice, they're all looking at me...not at Flash or Captain America, but myself.

"Earth's protectors will fight to until their bodys are broken and they can longer draw a breath to defend this planet. Earth is off-limits."
