Okay, so I'm hoping this isn't too much of a dick move...
"One Universe" RPG SEASON IV SIGN-UP FORM
Screen Name: Catman_prb
Character you would like to play: Lex Luthor
Powers: None, save for being one of the smartest people on the planet, and holding the office of President of the United States.
Brief biography of the character's history: Once the famed Golden Boy of Metropolis, Luthor became envious of the adoration for the new breed of superheroes - those who could fly, not play the stock market. His jealousy of these heroes, especially Superman, led him to increasing levels of paranoia and vindictiveness. By far his most successful plan to date, Luthor ran in the presidential election, winning by a small minority. Now in his first term of power, Luthor has collected a number of paramilitary groups, mercenaries, and even the Avengers themselves, and he plans to save the world. The human way.
List a few reasons why you have chosen that character: I do feel a real need to play in this game, and I think that each major arc should have a PC'd villain.
What can you bring to this game?: Uhm...a PC'd villain?
Color and font you plan on using for your character's speech: Arial Bold purple
How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: As many as I need to.
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):
SHIELD Laboratory
It was a masterpiece, and he knew it. The Sentinel program was a success of the American Dream. Grand, impressive, cheap, effective, mass produced robots enforcing peace and the American way. Of course, Stark had shown him up in public, and that couldn't be tolerated for long. But still, the Sentinel program was a success, and once again placed the United States at the top of the international arms market.
"Is it ready?" Luthor asked tersely, his heels clicking as he walked through the dimmly lit lab.
"Yes sir," one of the technicians said, half bowing, half shuffling beside him. Pathetic.
Of course, the Sentinel program was only on a large scale. On a smaller, more delicate scale it required something...a bit more finite. It was the only one of it's kind, constructed by skilled craftsmen from around the world. Later on he would see if Waller could have them rounded up and shot. He did not need his secrets passed around like notes in the back of an infants classroom.
Oh, but it was so beautiful. It put him on a par with those...creatures and abominations that were attempting to control his world. Our world, he should say. Some of them he had the upmost respect for. Stark, for example, was a peak of human intellect, and easily able to contend with the aliens and sub-humans that he hung around with. If he weren't a pathetic drunk, Luthor may have attempted to draft him onto his cabinet.
The machine itself was...outstanding. The original blueprints he had obtained from Obidiah Stane, but he had fiddled about with it since then. Replaced a weapons system there, a control system there...and of course the rock located next to the power source. That was very important. The secret weapon. And he was not arrogant enough to believe that he should construct it from LexCorp tech alone; nor even the military. No, no, there was a bit of Stark Industries in there, a dash of Wayne Enterprises, even a circuit board or two from Kord.
The suit radiated power, and he put his hand on it's cold shoulder, as he would have done a child. He pressed a button and the interior computer came online. He grinned.
"Hello beautiful," he whispered.
