Thank you kindly. Glad you're digging it.

Get on MSN and we can figure **** out.

 

[Carnage27]

I'm working on a post now. I'll have it up tonight or tomorrow.

 

[Optikal]

Hey dudes. Just let y'all know that I'm dropping Akira and Ollie. I'm just not feeling the whole 2099 thing as much as I thought I would. Sincere apologies to Sensei, I know we talked about some stuff and sorry to let you down bro.

 

[SenseiofCheese]

Aw, shucks.

 

[UltimateRPGs]

Did a little roster updating. Removed Optikal and Madrox.

Mighty Thor as Doom and Belvedere as Fury are on the bubble. If there's no posts or word of their intention by this weekend, they'll be removed from the roster.

 

[Johnny Blaze]

Since Optikal has dropped out, his AGM spot needs to be filled.

Anybody interested in being my special little helper?

 

[SenseiofCheese]

I haven't dropped Punisher. I'm just thinking of how to proceed with our story since Op has left, but I'll post soon.

I'm looking to get back into this biatch so why not? I'm up for it.

Ryan Cassidy/Deadpool post up tonight hopefully.

 

[Catman_prb]

**** it, I'd be up for it if you want. It may make me post more.

 

[Johnny Blaze]

Damn, now I have to flip a coin to decide on a new AGM.

And the winner is...Gallagher.

SoaD fans unite!

 

[Catman_prb]

It's like the Masons.

 

[Gallagher]

Only with more screaming?

 

[Johnny Blaze]

So, I'm thinking of allowing a 3rd character. Mainly because I have a bunch of ideas for possible future characters.

But I want to see what the rest of you ****ers think? For it? Against it? Don't give a flying **** either way?

 

[Spike_x1]

I'm all for it.

 

[Carnage27]

I couldn't care less. I won't be picking up a second anytime soon, let alone a third.

 

[Johnny Blaze]

Since nobody's said anything against it, the option of having a third character is now available for those interested.

Character You Would Like to Play: Apocalypse

Character Alignment (Hero, Villain, or Walking the Line): Villain

Character's Speech Style and Color (actually say what the **** it is, *******s): Navy, Impact, Size 3

Faction They Belong To (i.e. members of a corp, church or cult, underground meta group, etc): Armageddon Inc.

Appearance/Costume (Briefly describe or post a picture of what your character's costume looks like): Going to go with his AoA look for this 2099 version.

Powers and Abilities:

(Taken from Wikipedia)

Apocalypse is portrayed as an immensely powerful mutant,[54] surpassing even his former minion, the Harbinger in power, who was capable of going toe-to-toe with the Avengers and Cable at the same time. Even when in a severely weakened, dying state, Apocalypse was able to defeat an assembly of X-Men.

Apocalypse possesses several superhuman powers rather than a singular mutant ability, unlike other mutants. He further augmented himself by Celestial technology, though it is unclear if these enhancements granted him any additional powers beyond what he already possessed. His powers appear to change according to the story's need and/or the creative team's desires; Apocalypse was initially portrayed as a shape-shifter with the ability to teleport himself and others over unknown distances, but his powers have been greatly expanded since then, and he has displayed immense strength, near invulnerability, rapid regeneration, energy absorption and projection. He has also been shown to resist telepathic attacks, and use limited telepathic and telekinetic capabilities.

Apocalypse has complete control over the atomic structure of his body — can alter his form as it suits him; allow his body to become extremely malleable, change his density and even increase his size and strength by taking on additional mass from an extra-dimensional source. Apocalypse can stretch, or contort his limbs and body into a multitude of shapes and sizes, with elasticity and flexibility far beyond the natural human limits. He can open holes through his body to avoid attacks. He is able to form various weapons (e.g. blades, hammers, guns, or shields) with parts of his body, including wings or jets to enable flight. He is also able to adapt his body to apparently any disease or environment. On one occasion, he has shown the ability to phase his hand through another object/person. Through his shape-shifting ability, Apocalypse can give himself virtually any physical superhuman power and transform himself into a vast variety of disguises.

Thanks to his mutant power of immortality, Apocalypse is immune to aging. He does not need sustenance of any kind, and his body produces practically no fatigue toxins during physical activity, enabling him to exert himself at peak capacity indefinitely. Apparently Apocalypse belongs to a sub-species of immortal mutants known as the Externals. He has been referred to as an External on several occasions; however, his longevity is believed by Selene as mostly due to technological means. Although, Apocalypse was already many centuries old before his first encounter with the technology with which he would later integrate himself. To note, Selene herself needs to maintain her supply of life force that she drains from living victims.

Aside from his superhuman powers, Apocalypse is extraordinarily intelligent and wise. His knowledge in various areas of science and technology, primarily genetics and biology, is far more advanced than conventional science; even Beast needed Apocalypse's expertise in biology to cure Xavier of a techno-organic virus. Apocalypse has knowledge of Celestial technology that he uses for his own applications, such as altering mutants or humans (he is able to directly interface with the various technologies he has at his disposal). Apocalypse is a skilled demagogue, able to turn former adversaries to his side. He is also a master strategist; Apocalypse revealed to his Skrull allies during the gathering of the Twelve that he had been precisely preparing his plans for centuries, using hundreds of generations of pawns and peons, both human and mutant, all to reach the specific end goal of evolving to a level of power beyond even the Celestials themselves.

Apocalypse has also been able to get to Olympus, the home of the Greek gods, something few mortals have achieved.

Brief Origin/History of Your Character and Their Personality: Tucked away inside his pyramid stronghold, Apocalypse was in his regenerative slumber when the Great Cataclysm struck. The forces behind the meta-human extinction event caused Apocalypse to awaken, and the High Lord looked out to see a world in ruins. Ever the opportunist, Apocalypse saw this as his chance to set the foundation for his empire. Using his Celestial technology, Apocalypse took control of the lands once known as Egypt, Israel, Jordan, and the Arabian Peninsula.

Other Corporations tried the take control of his kingdom, but all failed. Promoting his lands as a safe haven for mutants amid a world seeking to eradicate them, Apocalypse gained many loyal followers. Chief among them are his Four Horsemen. Setting his capital up in the holy city of Jerusalem, Apocalypse rules his lands with an iron fist.
Now the High Lord bides his time, waiting as his mutant army grows by the day. One day soon, he will branch out and begin his conquest. Bringing about his Age across the globe.

And, to make things more intriguing, word has reached his ear that Xavier's old school is secretly back in business. And that an old acquaintance is running the show...

Supporting Cast:
Four Horsemen of Apocolyse: Halloween Jack (War, a mutant shapeshifter who's 'main' form is that of a lanky, green-skinned humanoid with stark white hair, and abnormally long, pointed teeth; powers include the ability to shapeshift into anything he can think of, high degree of superhuman physical abilities, heightened senses extreme enough to even track speedsters, sense of balance that defies gravity, allowing Jack to scale and cling to any surface, from clinging to the side of buildings to balancing perfectly on top of an opponent's head, razor sharp claws), Skullfire (Famine, comprised of living energy that appears as a human skeleton shrouded in green flames; powers include levitation, able to absorb and channel the energy around him for destructive blasts, energy form makes him practically immune to conventional attacks and weapons); La Lunatica (Pestilence, shapely female with long, stark white hair, chalky white skin, and blood red eyes; powers include ability to manipulate the emotion in those around her, she can feed off the repressed and negative memories and emotions of those around her, increasing her physical abilities. Her strength and speed can increase in levels to rival that of old mutants like Colossus and Quicksilver, respectively. Lunatica's durability is also superhuman, as she is able to take extreme amounts of punishment, a fact she revels in), and Samael (Death, a genetically altered clone of Warren Worthington looking like the Archangel of old; powers include flight, healing factor, and immunity to telepathic attacks. Equipped with bio-mechanical wings made of Antartic vibranium, giving them the ability to cut through practically anything and any metal, Absorbs ambient energy and converts it into the form of energy darts, which Samael can fire clusters at a time and can shred a foe to pieces in seconds. The wings are practically indestructible, and Samael is able to use them as a shield, even making himself completely untouchable by curling up and wraping them around himself like a cocoon).

How Often Do You Intend to Post in This RPG Each Week: As many as need be, life permiting.

Sample Post (must be a minimum of 4 paragraphs with at least 2 lines of dialogue from your character):

"You are a foolish little man, Stone", Apocalypse growled.
The Scourge of the Middle East, as he was dubbed by some of the other Corporate heads, stood in his chambers as the holographic image of the head of Alchemax's CEO floated before him.

"Did you honestly think that I would not find out? I have dealt with conniving worms for countless centuries, and you are no different."

"I'm sorry, Apocalypse", Stone frowned.
"I have no idea what you're talking about?"

"Do not play games with me, human", roared the High Lord.
"You will find that I am not amused by such antics. Your team of infiltrators was discovered three days ago."

"Infiltrators", Tyler furrowed his brow.
"I still have no clue what...wait, was it a balding man, about six-feet tall with glasses?"

"You know it was. He and his entire team have been punished for their transgressions against me."

"Excellent news", smiled Stone, as a look of relief washes over his face.
"One of our R&D field captains went AWOL two weeks back. Didn't like the fact that we were cutting his budget. He did have a really deep hate for your kind too. Figured he'd might end up in your neck of the woods."

"You are almost as skilled a liar as Liesmith", Apocalypse remarks.
"But again you try to take my technology from me, and again you fail. When will you realize that you are destined to die out like the rest of nature's mistakes?"

"We are the future, Stone", Apocalypse's eyes narrowed, "a fact you will learn very soon."

 

[Carnage27]

Sweet, JB.

I've changed my mind about not having a second character. Thinking of someone to apply for now.

EDIT: On second thought I'm going to hold off on the second character for now.
