"One Universe" RPG SEASON IV SIGN-UP FORM


Screen Name: Carnage27

Character you would like to play: The Joker

Powers: None that are know, although some claim that Joker’s apparent insanity is actually a form of “super sanity”, which is a form of ultra-sensory perception. This has never been confirmed. While seemingly off his rocker, Joker is capable of amassing a loyal mob of followers, and is able to put together crimes of epic proportions. Joker’s ultimate goal is always chaos, and will never balk at an opportunity to stir the pot. He is a whiz with gadgets and chemistry, creating many clown-themed weapons of lethal effectiveness. The Clown Prince of Crime is also a master of explosives.

Brief biography of the character's history: Almost nothing is known about The Joker’s past. As he likes to say, “If I’ve got a past…I’d prefer it be multiple choice!” One thing can always be confirmed, Joker is a force for chaos and anarchy.

List a few reasons why you have chosen that character: He’s possibly the greatest villain in comic book history, and I’d like to take a shot at writing such a challenging character. I’ve also got an interesting plan for him at the end of the season, but we’ll see what’s going on with the game before I go through with it.

What can you bring to this game?: A villain, which is needed badly in this game.

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

How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: As many as needed, but my Joker posts would come at the same pace as my Spider-Man ones. I want to take my time and make sure I do the character justice.

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):


1…

I half stroll, half skip out of the downtown Gotham Bank, sawed off shotgun flailing loosely in my hand. Being back in Gotham makes me feel like that time me and Billy Mays got into Pablo Escobar’s personal stash. I come to a stop and wait for the Family Guy-esque flashback to start. Oh that’s right. I’m not on a TV show. Yet. I wonder who’d they’d get to play me. I bet it’d be someone like Johnny Depp, that French humping bastard. Anyway…

2…

This town has always enjoyed my antics. It’s the only reasonable explanation as to why it’s so easy for me to get the ludicrous amount of plastic explosive I've currently got stashed away. It’s the only explanation as to why the Bat still hasn’t come to sop my fun like he always does. Honestly the size of the stick that plugs up his guano hole must be massive. I wonder where him and Bird-boy put it on their nightly adventures. Or maybe the boy blunder is the catcher, he could always take a beating.

“Hehehe…” I chuckle to myself. What can I say, sometimes even I make myself laugh.

3…

KABOOM

The bank explodes in a glorious blaze of flame, the heat blasting against my face. Sweat begins to trickle down my forehead, smudging the paint that lines the creases of my face with it.

“Boss! What about all the money-“ the thug is cut off by a blast from my shotgun, his blood splattering across my face, showing brightly against the whiteness of the paint.

A smile creeps across my face as the rest of my crew pull our van around. As I get in, I plop down in the back, “Remember boys…It’s not about money…It’s about sending a message.”

I pause and look around at the guys, “Where have I heard that before?”

The van screeches away, and the message is left in flame on the side of the bank.

Whoops, forgot I was a GM.

Approved.

Now post in Star Wars!
 
*whistles*

...

What?

What?

Nothing to see here. Just waiting on something. A character to get chopped, for example.

*whistles*

:super:
 
You don't have to wait to apply.


But the chopping will commence this weekend of you want to.
 
"One Universe" RPG SEASON IV SIGN-UP FORM

Screen Name: Eddie Brock

Character you would like to play: Kara Zor-El / Supergirl

Powers: As a Kryptonian, Kara possesses all the same powers as her famous cousin, Kal-El. Among these are superstrength, superspeed, flight, invulnerability, heat vision, x-ray vision, superhearing, and arctic breath.

Brief biography of the character's history: Kara was the daughter of Zor-El, older brother to famed scientist Jor-El. When Jor-El predicted the destruction of Krypton by Galactus, he was ridiculed by Krypton's High Council. The only person who believed him was Zor-El. So Jor-El and his brother made plans to save their respective offspring - Kara and the baby Kal-El - from dying with Krypton.

Trapped inside a chunk of rock, Kara's spaceship stalled and did not reach Earth until thirty-some years after Kal-El landed. Upon arriving on Earth - and encountering the Fantastic Four - Kara learned that her baby cousin Kal-El was now a grown man, using the powers granted to him by the yellow sun under the name Superman.

After living under the watchful eyes of the Fantastic Four for a time, Kara moved to Smallville where Kal-El's Earthly family took her in. Kal-El - known on Earth as Clark Kent - taught Kara how to use and control her powers, and she now follows in his footsteps as Supergirl.

List a few reasons why you have chosen that character: I was the one who established much of Kara's in-game history, so I'm more than happy to take up the reigns again and continue writing her story. With the dawn of the Teen Titans, Supergirl is going to be a very fun character to write.

What can you bring to this game?: Reliability, dedication, and a hint of lemon.

Color and font you plan on using for your character's speech: Bold Powder Blue Century Gothic

How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: As many as are needed to progress my story logically.

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):

"Ready?" Johnny asks patiently.

I stare deep into his eyes. Taking a deep breath, I close my eyes and nod.

He nods back. "Okay, just remember everything I've taught you," he reminds me.

"I'm ready," I assure him after a brief pause.

Johnny lobs up the popcorn kernel, and I watch it carefully. Positioning myself properly, I open my mouth. I have misjudged the distance, and I feel the popcorn bounce off my chin. Another failed attempt.

Man, humans have strange ways of entertaining themselves. Then again, perhaps this is just Johnny. I really don't know. I only know four humans - the Fantastic Four. They've been pretty nice, but I still wish I could go out more. But, of course, Reed always reminds me that it's too dangerous.

Not anymore. I have control of my powers. I won't harm anyone.

Johnny shakes the bowl. "We're all out," he explains - referring to the popcorn.

I smirk. "Not a problem," I reply. And in the blink of an eye, I race downstairs and grab a new bag of popcorn. By the time I return, only a handful of seconds have passed. I must say that I love my powers.

"Y'know, Kara, you don't always gotta run errands for Hothead," Ben reminds me. He is relaxing on the couch. "He knows where the stairs are."

"She likes using her powers," Johnny assures Ben before I can speak up. I toss the bag of popcorn to Johnny, and he heats it up using his powers. Within a minute, the kernels begin to pop. "So, Kara, when are you and I going to hang out - without Ben around?"

I arch an eyebrow. "You certainly aren't making a suggestion," I state.

He flashes that big smile of his. "What if I am?" he inquires back.

"Sorry, Johnny, I only like nice guys," I respond playfully. I wink at him as he pours the popcorn into the bowl.

"Shot down!" Ben announces from across the room. He seems to be enjoying this.

Johnny scoffs. "Don't laugh at me. You can only get girls who are blind."

Suddenly, Ben's playful demeanor dissipates. He gets up from the couch and stomps across the room. The entire floor of the Baxter Building begins to shake. "I'll ring your neck!"

Before I can intervene, we all turn at the sound of the elevator. Johnny and Ben immediately desist as Reed and Sue enter the room. "What the Hell is going on here?" Sue asks demandingly.

"It was nothing, Sis. Lighten up," Johnny complains. Those two are always at each other's throats. I suppose that's normal interaction for human siblings.

"Kara, Clark is coming," Reed tells me.

My thoughts suddenly change to Clark. It's been about a month since the Fantastic Four found me, and that was the day that I met Clark. Unfortunately, I still didn't speak English so we couldn't communicate. But after taking telepathic lessons with Professor Xavier in upstate New York, I learned to speak Clark's language.

That's when he dropped a bombshell.

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.

List a few reasons why you have chosen that character:
1. War Machine is cooler than Iron Man.... Yeah, I said it!
2. I like non-X Gene characters
3. umm... I... umm... did I mention War Machine was cool?

What can you bring to this game?:
I think I can bring recreational drugs, sex and mechanical violence. Also, experience might filter in there somewhere too :up:

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

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):


“Charging at 50…. Clear!”



BZZT!

“C’mon...”

“Charging at 100… Clear!”

“Come on damn you!”

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?”

I need him back in my life.
 
I do. The way he strokes my hair and shushes my sobbing when I'm sore and gaping really makes me feel special... :awesome:
 
Nice to have you back, EB.:up:

It'll be good to work with you again.
Good to be back. Also good to be writing Supergirl again. By the way, I've been reading up on what I missed, and I must say that I couldn't have asked for a better successor for Spider-Man than you. :up:
