Brief biography of the character's history: Credit to ComicVine:

Rebelling against his rabbi father, Marc Spector was a heavyweight boxer, a U.S. Marine, and a CIA agent. Frustrated with the politics of the agency, Marc went on to become a mercenary. In Africa, he met a French mercenary, Jean-Paul DuChamp, who would become one of Marc's closest friends. Frenchie later became Marc's pilot. While working for terrorist, Raoul Bushman, Marc began to question his choices. In Sudan they stumbled across an archaeologist Dr. Peter Alraune's excavation of an Egyptian Pharaoh's tomb. There, Bushman killed the Archaeologist.

Marc, feeling guilt, attempted to help, Alraune's daughter, Marlene escape. Annoyed with his betrayal, Bushman beat Spector and left him in the desert to die.

Barely conscious, Spector managed to return to the ancient tomb. Marlene was there with her father's men and brought Marc to rest near a statue of the moon god, Khonshu Weak from his fight with Bushman and the elements of the desert, Spector died.

As Marlene cried over his body, Spector suddenly came back to life. It was his belief that Khonshu had brought him back from the dead in order to be the moon's knight of vengeance. Spector removed a cloak from the statue of Khonshu and confronted Bushman again, and this time, he came out victorious, thus Moon Knight was born.

Returning to the states with Marlene and Frenchie, the trio decided to fight a war against evil. Spector used his fortune from his mercenary days to create some aliases to infiltrate different aspects of society. One persona was that of Steven Grant, a New York millionaire. In the guise of Grant, Spector was able to make high profile contacts. Spector also created the persona of Jake Lockley, a New York cab driver. Through Lockley, he was able to make several contacts "on the streets." It appears as the act of juggling the different persona's put a strain on Spector's mental health.

List a few reasons why you have chosen that character: Spector is an awesome character, and I want to take him in a completely new direction.

The shady little bar could hardly hold fifty people. From the outside, you knew you were in the projects. Men came in and out, and so did their prostitute companions. From above, on the roof, Moon Knight watched in disgust. He was waiting for his buddies from the fight to come rushing home. He knew that this was where Bushman had used to work. It was also very possible for Bushman to still be there. Time would tell, not thoughts, and Moon Knight knew that.

A gangster wearing a dark blue bandanna suddenly came rushing down the sidewalk. He pushed past several hookers and stumbled to the ground before he could reach the door. When he got to his knees, two men in black suits wearing sunglasses exited the bar and picked the man up. He struggled and sputtered, trying to explain his situation. Moon Knight watched intuitively. He had never seen such sharp-dressed men working this far into the projects. Unless they were undercover police officers, which was highly doubtful, they looked awfully suspicious.

Moon Knight squinted and tried to stretch his hearing range to find out what was happening. The man claimed that a masked person had beaten everyone up, and that both the money and the drugs were lost. The guards looked at each other. One took a peek back inside the bar. Odd. He then nodded and the duo dragged the punk to the alleyway. The victim tried to scream, but a hand clamped over his mouth. The other guard proceeded to put on leather gloves and then pull a silenced handgun from his jacket.

The guard aimed at the man’s head, only inches away. Beads of sweat started to roll as the man watched the gun. It moved up and down slowly as the guard enjoyed his taunting. The guard then enjoyed a foot striking him in the temple and knocking him against the wall of the alleyway. The other guard looked in amazement and let the man go, reaching for the gun in his own jacket.

Moon Knight spun and clobbered the guard’s hands with the balls of his feet. He whimpered and rolled to his side. Moon Knight ripped open his jacket and took the weapon, emptying the ammo on the wet and slimy cement. He then proceeded to fling the gun towards the street. The revolver bounced on the pavement and shot straight into a sewer grate.

"What do you want?!" The man screamed, backing away.

"Vengeance" Moon Knight growled.

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 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..."

"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."

"One Universe" RPG SEASON IV SIGN-UP FORM

Screen Name: Batman

Character you would like to play: Vandal Savage - The Red Skull

Powers: Immortality, staggering intellect, tactical genius and an expert on war, science, and world history. At times, he can also possess a limited superhuman strength and reflexes, as a result of experimenting with formulas based on the old super-soldier serum.

Brief biography of the character's history: It is unclear how many thousands of years that he has been truly alive, but Vandal Savage had experienced all there is to see. Every war, every conflict... every single event relevant to the history of the human race. Savage knows the secrets of how mankind first walked on land, the origins of ancient religion, and the deterioration of our modern society. Yet rather than use his centuries' year old knowledge for the benefits of mankind, Savage found himself more drawn to the infamous monsters and killers of history's darkest chapters - such as the slayer Jack The Ripper, or the warlord Genghis Khan.

But it was the face of Nazism, Adolf Hitler, that fascinated Vandal the most. Becoming his secret apprentice during the beginning years of what would become World War II, Savage studied his mentor from afar and was fascinated... perhaps even enthralled by the monarch's delve into subsequent insanity and tyranny. As an agent for the Nazi parties, Savage readily committed unspeakable atrocities and high genocidal war crimes during the period of 1939 to 1943. Many of his crimes would become staples of the Holocaust itself, with Hitler doing everything in his power to protect the secrecy of his prized soldier.

On his first mission as a decorated General for the party, however, Savage met the man that would make the first true negative impact on his thousand-year-old life - Steve Rogers, better known as Captain America. When scoping out one of Savage's prison camps, the Captain proceeded to help free nearly a dozen hostages and overthrow many of the guards. When Savage realized this, he mistakenly believed he himself could take on the star-spangled avenger without consequence.

He was wrong. Spotted by many of his captives, Savage was severely attacked and beaten, resulting in a disfigurement that tore off much of his facial skin before he would be rescued by German troops. And though he was alive, his face would never recover, leaving him looking less like a man and more like a living skeleton; a fact of which he blamed entirely on Captain America, the only man who successfully opposed his fascism. Following the suicide of Hitler, Savage silently took command of the German party and embraced his new appearance, earning a new name from his countless victims: The Red Skull.

After Captain America seemingly died at the end of World War II, The Red Skull vanished aswell, preferring to work behind the scenes as he did so many years ago. Becoming involved in international drug operations and mob affairs, The Skull was given a mythical presence amongst worldwide crime syndicates from the late 60's to the late 90's, seemingly unable to be caught or be killed. Finally believed dead, the world moved on, and The Skull's enemy Captain America would return in the new millennium. But as he returned, so did The Red Skull, silently watching the Captain's growing career as a superhero expand across his native lands. He has waited for an opportunity for revenge for decades, and now, he may finally get it. And with Savage's hope, the world of today is about to learn what true evil is.

List a few reasons why you have chosen that character: I think it's an interesting story. With One Universe, we've always had this creative freedom to go about and make changes to characters that connect them with both the Marvel and DC sides of the comic book spectrum. But only rarely has that opportunity been truly embarked upon, the most famous probably being JB's Dr. Fate/Strange character of last season. So instead of simply bringing The Red Skull of Marvel lore in to meddle with Captain America's affairs, I've decided to take a different approach, and make The Skull twice as dangerous of a character than before. I've got some truly twisted stuff in mind for the character, and want to let my imagination run free with being a sick and truly evil mother****er who's origins take him through every single villain of history.

What can you bring to this game?: A mouthful of ideas and a pocket full of sick, twisted fantasy - mostly involving Captain America's fried carcass on a stick.

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

How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: I don't know. My sanity may suffer from being such a sick bastard, but... well, f*** it, who needs sanity?!

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):

"<Whuh... w-where... where am...>"

The man's slurred words echoed throughout the corridor, rivaling only the sound of dripping water. His vision fuzzy, his hearing faded, he felt as if he had drifted off into a deep sleep and awoken days later. He didn't remember much about the moments before. All he knew was that he was walking with his wife and daughter on the streets of Prague's town square, hurriedly trying to make an appointment. After that, it all went dark...

<No.>, he thought. That wasn't all he remembered. Something about... a car. A vehicle. Some sort of black van that pulled onto the curbside, blocking him and his family from making it to the other side of the street. He remembered shouting... yelling. He was initiating defiance from something terrible. His wife's shouting. His daughter's screams...

Instantly, the man became distressed with that memory fresh on his mind. He couldn't see, but he could feel the cold metal chained against his wrists and ankles. The damp concrete beneath his knees, as he realized he was laying down. His heart began to race, as he thought of where he could possibly be. But it only quickened with the thought of his child.

"<E... Emily?>", He asked weakly. "<Where... where is my...>"

Silence was broken. The man suddenly paused, as he heard something from across the room.

It was... music.

Specifically, a tune he had heard many times on the street, being played by street urchins and performers. It was a composition from Bach, one of his cello suites. A number one in G major. One of the composer's most famous compositions, heard around the world for decades. The light, soothing music almost brought a calmness to the distressed man who couldn't see, couldn't move, and could barely speak.

Almost.

"<And how are we doing, this evening?>"

The voice he heard was unlike any he had heard before. It was almost malformed... gravelly, to the point of distortion. But there was something else in it's tone. Something eerily calm and confident, despite the trying circumstances. The man sat up fully, hearing more noises associated with the origin of the voice. He wanted to see where he was, and who was with him... but something was blocking his eyes. Covering his entire head, infact.

The music only continued to play.

"<Who is there?>", The man weakly asked, feeling sore all over his body. "<Can someone help me?>"

"<Perhaps,>", replied the voice. "<In a manner of speaking.>"

Before the man could deciepher what that meant, he was suddenly given his sight back. With the removal of a burlap sack, which had apparentally been placed upon him during his transfer to... whatever this place was. The man looked around, hazily, as his vision began to clear. He was in some kind of old and dark furnace room, barely able to breathe from the fumes of the burning coal. Infront of him stood a hooded man, his back facing him, wearing a black leather apron over dark clothing. He was tinkering with something unseen.

"<Who... who are you?>", He asked. "<What am I doing...>"

The hooded man held up the back of his hand, motioning for him to be quiet. "<Patience.>"

Looking around, the man soon discovered that there were others in the room, partially hidden in shadow. They all wore some sort of identical uniform. For a moment, he wondered if they were with the governing party, or some sort of international sanctum. But the more he thought, the more he realized that it couldn't possibly be the case. These men were dangerous.

"<I realize this can be a very confusing time for you, Rabbi Merrein...>", The hooded man continued, slowly turning around. "<But unfortunately, it is also about to become a very painful one.>"

Merrein froze, as the hooded figure produced what looked like a metal branding rod. It's end was glowing and red, indicating it to be burning hot. The hooded figure began to slowly advance, as calm and easy as if he were an old friend. But the Rabbi was not looking at any friend. He was staring down the glowing brand, hoping, and praying that it wasn't for him.

His prayers went unanswered.

"AAARRRGGGHHH!"

Merrein fell on his back, as his chest now began to steam from the incredible heat. The pain was unbearable, and probably the worst he had ever felt in his fifty one years of life. As he lied down, screaming and writhing from the scorching wound, the hooded figure walked back to a table, placing the rod onto it.

"<You would do well to relax, Rabbi. Concentrate on the music, perhaps?>", He nonchalantly suggested. "<This is one of Bach's most famous pieces. A true work of musical art, which is a rare commodity for today's society.>"

The hooded figure turned his head, once. "<Would you believe I witnessed it's creation?>"

But Merrein heard none of it. He only focused on the pain, and it's blinding burn. Tears streamed forth from his eyes, as he struggled to lift himself back up. The hooded figure only focused on his table, pulling out various items that the Rabbi could not see. But he could hear the grinding of blades, the twitching of metal... all horrific sounds, for a man in his position.

"<P-Please...>", He begged. "<What... What do you want from me?!>"

The hooded figure did not face him. "<Want, Rabbi? Nothing. You have nothing to offer us.>"

"<Then wh... what do you want?>", He asked.

"<To silence you.>", The figure explained. "<You are a voice for a kind that has existed far beyond it's years, and must be eliminated piece by piece. You presume to give them faith, when they should be abolished. And that is an unforgivable sin.>"

Unable to respond to such an answer, The Rabbi curled up on the floor, beginning to cry from both pain and fear. "<I-I just want to see my family. Please. Please let me see them...>"

The hooded figure paused.

"<If you wish.>"

Turning, the figure reached up to his own head, and removed the obscuring hood he was wearing. The rabbi gasped in horror, as he saw the figure's grotesque features in full light. His skin was painted red, covered in what looked to be human blood. Tattoos aligned his body, as he peeled away his apron and shirt, dropping them to the floor. His face was distorted... almost as if it were nothing but the bone underneath. But it was his eyes... his peering, cold, and unforgiving eyes that stare down at him as if he were a wild animal that needed to be killed.

"<Tell me, Rabbi...>"

Merrein's face began to lose it's color, as he slowly began to realize what he was looking at.

"<Do I wear them well?>"

Screen Name: Karem-Knight

Character you would like to play: Amazo II

Powers: Amazo is an cybernetic android built to have the same powers as all members of the world's Justice League. Each time a member of the JLA attacks him he only becomes stronger with in time, it has managed to almost obtain godhood status with it's sheer amount of power. My version of Amazo has the following powers; all of Superman's powers, Captain America's indestructible shield, Iron Man's armour components, Green Lantern (Alan Scott's) power ring, The Flash (Jay Garrick's) speed, Batman and Wildcat's fighting skills and any other member of the Justice League or metahuman whom attacks him he immediately gains a fragment of their powers.

Brief biography of the character's history: The former Amazo was created by Dr. Doom on his quest to obtain the power from the Source Wall and achieve godhood. The League eventually defeated this android. However on orders from President Luthor himself, the U.S. Government and S.H.E.I.L.D. have found some of Dr. Doom's and Professor Ivo's old blue prints and components to build a better and more destructive force of Amazo to fight the Justice League and eventually kill them.

List a few reasons why you have chosen that character: Amazo is a great character with an great concept behind him of a created life form that could potentially achieve godhood. This version will also aid for my arc with President Luthor trying to win back the people and public trust my showing the world how dangerous a group of people like the Justice League are to the world.

S.H.E.I.L.D. Hellcarrier

They joined this company to serve and protect the world from immediate danger, instead they were now pawns of a man bent on destroying a force similar to them and their cause. The scientists had their ethical difficulties with this job that they given to carry out, but how could they stop? Could they just tell the President of the United States "No sorry, I disagree with this task.." no; instead they believed his reasoning that and their new leader Amanda Waller also told them what to think. They weren't even doing their own studies, they were carrying out Luthor's instructions and perhaps that was more worrying then simply following his orders.

Amanda Waller came inside the lab with her hands behind her back and her ever present stern face expecting the results.

"Is it ready!?" she asked expecting a quick answer; one of the scientists slowly got the answer out. "It will be shortly Miss Waller....only a few more minutes!"

"If I asked Hank Pym to do this job it would be over by now! Too bad he's still helping with the Kahndaq situation..."

They continued their task and put every single piece of data and hardware while Waller had her ice tea watching over them until finally, the head of the operation came over to her.
"Miss....it's finished."

She walked over and saw the machine, it looked stranger than the last model but certainly more human. She nodded to the scientists and got her cellphone out to inform her boss. "Mr. President....it's ready!"

"Good...now, remember Waller...not a word about this to The Avengers or anyone else. Oh, and deal with the scientists with Miss Frost..."

"Understood, they won't remember a thing."

They turned the android on, it was now a complete pawn of the government to combat the super humans that threatened it's new leader, it sat up in a complete upright position and Waller begun to talk to it one on one.

"What is your name?"

"Amazo 2.0."

"Whom do you work for?"

"Professor Ivo, my creator."

The lies it had been fed were all it knew, it's programming was now going to bring hazardous conflicts through the world.

"What is your main priority?"

"Destroy the Justice League."


"Excellent, go to it now!"


Without word or warning the robot stood up and walked over past the Hellcarrier and then flew towards it's programmed destination.

[Byrd Man]

There is a superhuman cold war brewing between the Avengers and Justice League. The Avengers, a government sponsored team created by president Lex Luthor, is attempting to override the Justice League as America's super-team. In response to this and Luthor's Sentinel project, Tony Stark has taken it upon himself to wage a PR war with Luthor, including Captain America into the fight. Currently, Cap and former SHIELD director Nick Fury are in Europe, working with Checkmate to discover if Luthor has ties to the terrorist group HYDRA.

And Batman, Robin, and Spider-Man are matching wits with Joker in Gotham.

That's pretty much it.
