Can I be a *****e and apply?

 

[wiegeabo]

Go ahead, if it'll mean some posts

 

[Saved]

Actually, that was the one thing keeping me out of this rpg. I didn't want to apply and get stuck with no one else posting. Is it you and Carnage and ... that's it?

Hey, hey, hey! Byrd and I were posting back and forth as Gordon and Joker, but I've since left him hanging.

Seriously, though, there are some tempting names up there, and if it's for the good of the RPG...

 

[Saved]

I'm lookin at Tony or Cap, pretty much. Gotta love em'.

 

[Byrd Man]

I'd like to keep on playing Cap. Give me until tomorrow evening to try and post. If I can't get one up by then, feel free.

 

[Saved]

Make me.

 

[Eddie Brock]

Johnny Storm is fair game. In lieu of that...

"One Universe" RPG SEASON IV SIGN-UP FORM
​

Screen Name: Eddie Brock

Character you would like to play: Scott Summers / Cyclops

Powers: Scott possesses the mutant ability to convert solar energy into powerful concussive blasts from his eyes. In addition, he is a highly trained fighter and marksman. Scott is also an expert tactician and natural-born leader.

Brief biography of the character's history: Scott Summers was just an orphan living in Omaha, Nebraska, when Professor Charles Xavier found him. The Professor knew of Scott's mutant abilities and presented Scott with a solution to his control issues: a pair of glasses made with ruby quartz lenses. The Professor offered Scott a place in his Academy in Westchester, New York, where Scott could live free from persecution. Scott, with the help of his glasses, learned to use his powers and proved himself as a formidable fighter. Eventually, he was appointed as the leader of a top-secret team of mutants known as the X-Men. Operating out of the school, Scott and the X-Men serve to protect the world from dangerous mutants as well as offering safe haven to others like them.

List a few reasons why you have chosen that character: The X-Men are a non-entity (but with the state of the game right now, who isn't?), and if we ever want to solve that problem, it starts at the top with Cyclops. Because they're almost virtually untouched, the X-Men have a wealth of storylines just waiting for them.

What can you bring to this game?: Yet another sucker ready to try his hand at reviving the One Universe's X-Men, but at the least I'll put together some decent stories as well as some semblance of a solidified team roster.

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

How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: As many as it takes.

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):

*NOTE: This is just a sample and is by no means canon.

I step onto the Blackbird, the sound of my boots against the metal floor filling the expanded cabin. Behind me, Jean Grey makes her way to her seat along the cabin wall. I march to the front of the cockpit and turn on my heels, facing my team. The X-Men. I give a quick nod, making sure I've got their undivided attention.

"Alright, team, you've all been briefed, but let's review one more time," I begin, instinctively standing at Parade Rest before them - feet shoulder-width apart, arms folded behind my back. "This is a standard search-and-retrieval mission. Our--"

Piotr - or Peter - Rasputin, alias: Colossus, clears his throat before interrupting, "Pardon me, but is Wolverine going to be joining us on this mission?" There's a curious mutter of interest among the other X-Men as they survey the cockpit, seeing that Wolverine is indeed absent.

"Logan has taken an extended leave-of-absence starting today," I report. I resist the urge to add, "Good riddance." Wolverine is a loose cannon, and though the Professor continues to vouch for him, I'm not so sure where his loyalties lie. Simply put, he's not the kind of person I feel comfortable being in the trenches with.

"But I just saw him this morning," chimes in Kurt Wagner, alias: Nightcrawler.

"And he left shortly thereafter," I answer curtly. Jean catches my gaze with those green eyes of hers, and I realize I'm taking out my frustration on the team. Taking a deep breath, I continue, "Our target is an eighteen year-old girl. Birth name unknown, but she calls herself Rogue."

Bobby Drake, alias: Iceman, elbows Kurt in the ribs. "Sounds hot."

Ignoring that, I say, "The target is a leech. If she comes into physical contact with you, she will absorb your powers, your memories...even your thoughts." The X-Men fall silent at that. "Prolonged contact can have dire consequences. She is believed to be responsible for the hospitalization of eight civilians and one mutant."

~A young mutant with control issues. I now see why you wanted to take this mission.~

You never really get used to hearing other people in your head.

"Our orders are simple. We bring in Rogue peacefully, if possible. As always, lethal force is not authorized, so if she resists, our priority is to take her down as quickly and safely as possible." I unfold my arms. "Any questions?"

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

 

[Byrd Man]

Cyclops is....

APPROVED!

 

[Eddie Brock]

Cyclops is....

APPROVED!

How'd you know my Beast casting choice?!

In all seriousness, though, if anyone with a good memory could help me: what X-Men have been introduced?

Cyclops
Jean Grey
Beast
Colossus
Iceman
Nightcrawler
Multiple Man
Jubilee
Gambit
Rogue

Does that about cover it?

EDIT: Oh, and Wolverine, of course.

 

[Byrd Man]

Yep, and a few DC characters have been brought into the fold. Beast Boy and someone else...I can't remember who it was.

 

[Eddie Brock]

Hmm. Well, X-World, prepare yourself for consolidation!

 

[wiegeabo]

Yep, and a few DC characters have been brought into the fold. Beast Boy and someone else...I can't remember who it was.

Starfire?

 

[Byrd Man]

No, she wasn't ever part of the group. ****, I can't remember the guy's name. It was back when JB was playing Cyke and I was Beast for awhile. I remember Beast Boy and fighting Brother Blood, but I can't remember exactly. I wanna say it was the Ray, Ray Terrill, but I'm not sure.

 

[Catman_prb]

Yeah, it was the Ray. Just to note, Magneto's now at the Institute.

 

[Carnage27]

Expect a Spidey post tonight. My laptop has been dead for a week, but I have access to another computer. Also, I'll probably apply for another character.

 

[Green Lantern]

Ahem. Kitty's been introduced.

 

[Eddie Brock]

Ahem. Kitty's been introduced.

Of course, but she's in Gotham and not with the X-Men/Xavier's Academy.

 

[Eddie Brock]

I know that Pyro is traditionally Australian, but I made him Irish. Why? Because I'm the Juggernaut, *****!

 

[wiegeabo]

No you're not. I was the Juggernaut!!!

 

[Carnage27]

Eddie, expect another X-Man to be joining up with you. I putting the final touches on my app now.

 

[Eddie Brock]

Eddie, expect another X-Man to be joining up with you. I putting the final touches on my app now.

Excellent. That lineup was the one I planned on using (plus Iceman, who will be joining the fray in my next post), but if you're applying for someone else, I don't have a problem bumping the team up another member.
