It's been almost 3 weeks since the last post according to wieg's latest character list, so here's an application
[FONT="]
"One Universe" RPG SEASON IV SIGN-UP FORM[/FONT]
[FONT="]
Screen Name: Blacklight[/FONT]
[FONT="]
Character you would like to play: Peter Benjamin Parker; The Amazing Spider-Man[/FONT]
[FONT="]
Powers: Able to cling to any surface, enhanced agility and reflexes, disproportionate strength, "Spider senses" that allow him to sense dangers that approach him. He also was able to create webshooters to dispense artificial webbing he was able to synthesize himself, and using said webbing he's able to swing around the city (his preferred method of transportation).[/FONT]
[FONT="]
Brief biography of the character's history: Peter was just 15 when he was bitten by a radioactive spider that endowed him with various arachnid abilities as well as the knowledge needed to create his own biodegradable web compound and wrist mounted 'web shooters' to go with it.[/FONT]
[FONT="]At first, Peter used his powers for selfish reasons, until his own selfish acts led to his Uncle Ben's murder. Since then he's used his powers responsibly and helped to protect his hometown of New York City from crime as Spider-Man.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Recently, he's broken up with longtime girlfriend Barbara Gordon (aka Batgirl) and began a relationship with Gwen Stacy, his high school crush. He's also been wearing a fabric version of his black suit after the recent events that lead to the destruction of Stamford, CT. [/FONT]
[FONT="]
List a few reasons why you have chosen that character: After many missed opportunities, I'm ready to play Spider-Man again, for I've never had as much fun in the RPGs since I played him in Ultimate. Spider-Man is a longtime favorite character of mine, if not my all-time favorite.[/FONT]
[FONT="]
What can you bring to this game?: The usual: Reliable posting, writing I put my heart and soul into as well as some fun-filled arcs I hope you all like taking part in.[/FONT]
[FONT="]
Color and font you plan on using for your character's speech: Blue Comic Sans MS for Peter, Bold Red Comic Sans MS for Spider-Man (Black while he still wears the faux Black suit)[/FONT]
[FONT="]
How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: As many as I can.[/FONT]
[FONT="]
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):[/FONT]

Damn you, Luthor. Damn you to hell...
[/FONT]
[FONT="]After a rather...
displeasing day at school, to which Flash Thompson
heavily contributed, I came home just in time to catch our 'Commander in Chief' Lex Luthor's latest press conference where he re-instated the Sentinel Program and he was trying to initiate his Superhuman Registration Act on the news. It took all I had to keep from throwing my remote through the TV screen in anger. Then, as if that wasn't bad enough, all the news channels kept showing the scandals surrounding the League courtesy of Hank Pym, and
instantly I knew it was ALL Luthor's doing. He's
clearly trying to trash their reputations... More than likely so the public will lean more towards his Avengers as opposed to us.[/FONT]
[FONT="]I keep playing all the news reports, as well as the press conference in my head over and over, realizing that Luthor's not playing around. He's going all out on this one.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Having his lead man trash the JLA, only to introduce his own twisted analogue to them. It makes me sick. But as much as I hate that man with every fiber, every molecule of my genetic makeup, for Gwen's and Aunt May's sake, I have to leave those matters up to the big boys and stay out of it. As much as the League can use mine and the Titans' help, I can't instigate Luthor into targeting me. I just have to go about my own thing, and hope for the best...[/FONT]
[FONT="]And as such, I'm going about my normal activities as planned.[/FONT]
[FONT="]
"Hey, buddy! The Flash called... He wants his gimmick back."[/FONT]
[FONT="]Or rather my
not-so-normal activities.[/FONT]
[FONT="]
[FONT="]"I'll make you eat those words..."[/FONT] The lightning-emblazoned criminal snarled as I fell gracefully from my webline and landed before him.[/FONT]
[FONT="]
"Ooh... I'm so scared!" I sarcastically remarked,
"No wonder why your name is Speed Demon..."[/FONT]
[FONT="]
[/FONT]
[FONT="]"I'll teach you to mock me, pest!"[/FONT]
[FONT="]In a scarlet-navy blur of speed, he charged at me, which was enough to send a painful message from my spider-sense to my head, and my reflexes made me jump up and stick to an adjacent wall.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Looking up at me and noticing how I'm no longer in his line of fire, he stopped.[/FONT]
[FONT="]
[FONT="]"Come back down here and fight like a man!"[/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT="]"Y'know, all you villains are the same... Always wanting me to come down and fight like a 'man'. How about you come up here and fight like a spider!?"[/FONT]
[FONT="]Now, when I said that, I totally forgot that when you have superspeed, you can defy gravity...[/FONT]
[FONT="]"Fine. If you insist..."[/FONT]
[FONT="]...which means he can run up walls.[/FONT]
[FONT="]"Oh crud..."[/FONT]
[FONT="]BIFF![/FONT]
[FONT="]"OOF!"[/FONT]
[FONT="]The super-speeding punch sent me skidding up the side of the building. Something of which caused a lot of friction between the brick and my costume, and made things more painful as it burned a quite a bit. I soon regained my bearings, however, when I jumped off the wall and fired a strand of webbing on the flagpole nearby so as to swing myself around, regaining my momentum. I released it to land safely on the roof of a car in the street below... But in seconds, he was already standing before me, leaving a gale in his wake.[/FONT]
[FONT="]"Miss me?"[/FONT]
[FONT="]
"Double crud..."[/FONT]
[FONT="]Something tells me that despite how fast this guy is, this is going to be a really really really really long fight.[/FONT]

Do you know how to post pictures on the hype boards?:[/FONT]
