Break a mugger's nose.


Or have Kara making money as a stripper. Whatever works.

 

[Johnny Blaze]

How about breaking a mugger's nose while stripping?

 

[wiegeabo]

See, that works too.

"One Universe" RPG SEASON IV SIGN-UP FORM

Screen Name: Byrd Man

Character you would like to play: Jim Corrigan/The Spectre

Powers: From wiki

"The Spectre is the most powerful known being in the universe, capable of virtually any feat."

Brief biography of the character's history:
A NYPD detective, Jim Corrigan was murdered in 1982 by drug dealer Memo Hawkins after Corrigan's investigation into Hawkins' drug ring got too close for comfort.

As Corrigan's soul floated through purgatory, he was approached by Archangel Gabriel with an offer. He could have his vengeance on Memo for a price. He could never let his soul be at rest, instead he would be the host for the Spectre, God's Angel of Vengeance. He would walk the Earth for the rest of his days, neither living nor dead, punishing the wicked for God.

Jim readily accepted, becoming the right hand of God and punishing all those who have openly defiled God's law.

List a few reasons why you have chosen that character: I like the Spectre and his addiction (yes, addiction) towards vengeance. I also want to interact with the Marvel mystics and etc. I also want to point out that mostly all my Spectre stuff will be solo. I won't have him get involved in anything, I understand he's too powerful for that ****.

What can you bring to this game?: Decent RPer with experience.

Color and font you plan on using for your character's speech: Dark Green, Times New Roman, Size 3 and bold

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


His name is Don Phillips and he lives at 316 Easley Street in Los Angeles, before that Mark Johnson and lived in Kansas City. He left Kansas just about the time four young boys' bodies were found in a field, strangled beaten and molested.

You can run on for a long time.
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Sooner or later God'll cut you down

The same thing is starting to happen in L.A. So far, two boys around the age of ten were found in drainage ditches, dismembered and molested. Mr. Phillips sat in a parked car watching children at a playground on the other side of the road. It was a mild day in the City of Angels, but the pedophile is sweating. Wicked thoughts are on his mind.

Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
​

​

He's getting ready to make his move when a figure appears in the backseat. The sudden movement catches Phillips' attention.

"Jesus!"

"You wish," The green-cloaked figure said.

"Get the hell outta my car!"

"I don't think so, see you're a bad man. A very bad man Mister Phillips...or should I call you Mister Johnson?"

He started to get out the car when the figure grabbed him by the shoulders and slam him back in the seat.

"Feel.....Feel the pain you've caused others. Feel how those boys felt as you raped and killed them."

The Spectre's hands start to smoke and sizzle as the pedophile screams in agony.

"GOD HELP ME!"

"God? God is not listening anymore. There is only me, God's Wrath. I have my ears open, and the only thing I can hear is your screams. May God have mercy on your soul."

Johnson started to shake and shutter as blood poured out his nose and mouth. He finally slumped over and collapsed into the car's front seat.

"Justice is served..."

Just like that, Angel of Vengeance disappeared, leaving Johnson's dead body in the car by itself. It would be almost five hours before anyone discovered the dead body. Two days after that would be the wake with no family or friends in attendance. The burial followed that evening. Don Phillips/Mark Johnson's body laid in a pauper's grave.

This all took place while his soul was burning in Hell.

Justice had been served.

Stripping, eh? Hmm. I have an idea not far from that...

 

[wiegeabo]

Stripping, eh? Hmm. I have an idea not far from that...

Excellent.

Now, if the stripping can somehow include a pic like this

Spoiler

we'll be all set.

 

[Eddie Brock]

That's close enough to stripping, right?

 

[wiegeabo]

Only if you can find a pic of Laura as a cheerleader.

 

[Eddie Brock]

Only if you can find a pic of Laura as a cheerleader.

I'm actually trying.

 

[wiegeabo]

You better be!



For it is a worthy endeavor

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

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!





BZZT!

“C’mon...”

…............................................ .​

​

“Charging at 100… Clear!”

BZZT!​

…................................................. ....​

“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?”

Holidays are over and I can finally commit to this thing. Pretty please?

 

[wiegeabo]

Ah geez. I just got through deleting your name from the list. Now I have to type it back in?


sigh. Approved

 

[Optikal]

Just leave me up permenantly!

Nevermind the Spectre app.

Screen Name: Byrd Man

Character you would like to play: Leonard Snart/Captain Cold

Powers: None, but Cold possesses a freeze gun that allows him to freeze objects to absolute zero.

Brief biography of the character's history: Leonard Snart was a common burglar the night he broke into Cyclotron Industries in Central City. During his theft, he stumbled upon Cyclotron's latest prototype invention: a gun that could freeze anything to absolute zero. Snart took the gun and, after futile attempts to sell it, he began using it in robberies and dubbing himself Captain Cold.

Now, years later, Snart is the unofficial leader of the group of Flash villains known as the Rogues.

List a few reasons why you have chosen that character: I've always loved the Rogues. Cold is probably my favorite of the group and I want to give JB and wieg headaches.

What can you bring to this game?: Yo momma! ......uhh, sorry about that...A decent RPer with three and a half years experience on these boards.

Color and font you plan on using for your character's speech: Trebuchet MS, blue, and bold.

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

Sullivan's Bar & Grill

"And that's a cold shot, baby," Stevie Ray Vaughan belts out from the jukebox.

"Yeah that's a drag
A cold shot, babe
I've let our love go bad."

I'm sitting at the bar, polishing off my fourth Jack and Coke.

"You think it's true what they said about Flash?"

"Can I get another? Thanks. What's that they say about the Flash, Mick?"

"The one we're fighting ain't the same one."

I shrug and take a swig off my new drink.

"How many fast guys are there that run in red tights?"

Rory just shrugs in indifference and goes back to nursing his White Russian. That's when I start to realize how long McCullough's been gone.

Mick watches in silence as I walk into the bathroom and find the new Mirror Master with a straw up his nose and a half line of blow on the sink.

"C'mon, Len...," he starts to plea. My hands around his head cuts off the cries of mercy.

"What the **** did I say?"

I shove McCullogh's head into the sink and turn on the faucet.

"We don't have much in the way of rules, but you don't touch goddamn drugs. You hear me? You want to be a ****ing junkie, you don't do it as one of us."

McCullough struggles against the water and flails against my grip. I pull him up by his hair and calmly talk while he gasps for air.

"I catch you with the nose candy again, I'll stick your head in the sink, but only I'll freeze the water."

In one final motion, I push McCullough against the wall.

"Understand me?"

He nods feebly as I turn and leave the bathroom.

"Everything okay," Rory asks as I climb back up to the bar stool.

"Yeah. But, goddamn do I miss Sam Scudder."

oh, you son of a *****.

 

[Byrd Man]

oh, you son of a *****.

:heart:

 

[wiegeabo]

:heart:

It's like you're actually him.

 

[Shlee]

So uh... what's going on with Elektra anymore in this RPG? ^_^;;

 

[Carnage27]

Hey guys, just got internet. I'll catch up on reading and start working on posts. Shlee, I'll contact you as well. Glad to have Spidey's woman be a PC.

Sorry about the delay.

 

[wiegeabo]

So uh... what's going on with Elektra anymore in this RPG? ^_^;;

Still hanging around Gotham. I haven't used her in a while.

 

[Carnage27]

*Sigh*

It's with a heavy heart that I do this, but I'm going to drop Kurt for the time being. I've been playing him for a long, long time, and with the general lack of X-Men PCs, I just don't have the drive to stick with him right now.

 

[wiegeabo]

And I was about to pick Wolverine back up.

 

[Catman_prb]

I was considering posting as Jamie again.

 

[Carnage27]

And I was about to pick Wolverine back up.

Really...hmmm....

If that happens I'll reconsider.

 

[Carnage27]

Hey Gotham people....

Could we get posting? I'd like to get this Joker plot going.
