One Universe RPG: Season IV OOC Thread

[Optikal]

Cools. Just trying to think of a place to insert Moon Knight. Looks like he'll work as an anti-hero semi-villain.

 

[Blacklight]

And on the cosmic side of things, Ion is squaring off against Thanos on Attilan, who just killed Ganthet and beat the Inhumans down within an inch of their lives, including Crystal, Kyle's girlfriend. A story I plan on finishing soon myself since JB went MIA

I'm still trying to settle on a villain to play as, but then I came across this in an old 1994 comic:

"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.

List a few reasons why you have chosen that character:
1. War Machine is cooler than Iron Man.... Yeah, I said it!
2. He's my favorite character
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

“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?”


Do you know how to post pictures on the hype boards?:

 

[wiegeabo]

You have canon envy, don't you.

 

[Byrd Man]

Approved.

So that makes two for you? Moon Knight and now War Machine.

 

[Optikal]

You have canon envy, don't you.

Huh?

Approved.

So that makes two for you? Moon Knight and now War Machine.

Aye

 

[wiegeabo]

You keep picking up War Machine.

I assume it's because you like his nice, big, long, hard cannons.

 

[Optikal]

I love him to bits. I have a story to tell too, but prior to my current personal state, I was in no position to keep going as him.

On that note, I've just taken two ****ing god damn hours to write a huuuge post for him and the Hype has eaten it because a 'Security Token' was apparently missing! What in the blue furry hell is a 'security token'?!

 

[wiegeabo]

If you leave your page open for too long, your session expires. The security token forces you to log in again (or usually just reload the page). Just in case you were on a public computer and forgot to log off. That way someone can't post as you something that'll get you banned.

It's also the reason I copy all my text before ever posting. Even if it's just an edit. I never remember that I opened a page the night before and it needs refreshed.

 

[Byrd Man]

and if you used Firefox (like yours truly) it actually saves what you've written when you go back to the previous page, so your posts are never lost

 

[wiegeabo]

Well, not always. I've still lost a few with Firefox.

 

[Optikal]

I did go back, but FF didn't save the post.

Also, I usually hit CTRL-A, CTRL-C before clicking to post, just this time I forgot. Still, I put a condensed version up now, so it's all good.

 

[Carnage27]

I'll have a Joker post up tonight or tomorrow, wieg.

Probably won't get a Spidey one in until the weekend.

 

[Red_Robin77]

I'll get a Robin post up whenever I can.

 

[Carnage27]

I have one more Spidey post in Gotham, and then I'll have him and the Titans show up to fight Amazo. Sound good?

 

[Carnage27]

So, I've got a question. Are we moving towards the whole registration act mumbo jumbo? Because if so, I've got a character I'd like to pick up.

 

[Byrd Man]

I'd say it looks like that. I'd be for it being considered and coming close to being passed, but not actually passed. I really don't feel like doing an OU CW. To me, CW was one of the worst things that came out of Marvel in the past few years and when we tried it in Marvel it all but killed that RPG.

I agree that I wouldn't want a full blown CW, but I personally wouldn't mind having the JL wanted for a while until reemerging to save the day and being pardoned.

Or something like that.

That's actually what I was thinking, having The Avengers, S.H.E.I.L.D. and the Sentinels out finding the Justice League- kind of like Civil War and Siege but not as drastic.

Plus, I have a plan for the final battle between the government and the Justice League

 

[Carnage27]

So...what the hell made the explosion there, Karem? Was it Superman and Amazo colliding?

 

[wiegeabo]

I thought Amazo slammed Superman into the city at full speed.

 

[Karem-Knight]

I thought Amazo slammed Superman into the city at full speed.

Yeah, pretty much; sorry, should have made that more clearer.

 

[Byrd Man]

Did my lame "For Justice" rallying cry kill everyone's momentum?...It was the best I could think of.

It was either that or "Justice League: Jitterbug!" and I can't see how dancing would have helped the situation.
