There you go, Byrd. That wasn't so hard, was it?

 

[Byrd Man]

It's well deserved. Spider-Man gets drunk and ****s **** up with Cyclops and Captain America while Nick Fury watches and plays with himself is probably my favorite arc in any RPG.

....aaaand I just got the inspiration for my next submission to the Create-A-Post thread.

 

[bkhedr]

Thanks for the awards Nod Andy. I will put my votes up later today or sometime tomorrow. In the meantime I gotta ask: Op, buddy, you still playing Thor? And if so, and your busy, can I bunny him for a sec to free Vision up?

 

[Logan]

I'm going to have to beg a bit of a wait before I'll be jumping IC full swing. I've been having chronic tooth aches and I'll want to be top condition to bust out some Wolvie luvin. By luvin, of course, I mean snarking, scowling and cigar chewing.

 

[Andy C.]

Allrighty. Just FYI, you've got three weeks to get a post up in the IC thread before you have to re-apply for the character.

 

[Nimibro]

i need a small break from docky, school's a real chore and it's the most jammed part of the semester, so i'll re-app in a month if nodoby apps for him before me. it was a fun time, but schoolk's really bad, so i'll have to ahve a small break, ok?

 

[Andy C.]

Fair enough. Just know that your character is now up for grabs.

 

[Red_Robin77]

Hey guys, sorry I haven't been on in a while, but I'm glad to see Op's going strong with Thor. Just thought I might apply for somebody a little different:

Character you would like to play: Clinton Frances "Clint" Barton (a.k.a Hawkeye)

Powers: Clint hasn't got any super powers, but he is trained to the peak of human strength and skill, and can utilize most if any weapons, particularly a bow and arrow.

Basic history of the character (Up until this point):

Clint was orphaned at the age of 13. His father was killed during post-Vietnam black-ops missions against the rising threat of mutants, and his mother, driven to alcoholism and prostitution, choked on her own vomit in the backseat of the car of the man she had picked up at the bar that particular night. Clint and his brother Bernard disappeared, Barney showing up a few months later in a local circus. It was believed Clint ran away to avoid being sent to an orphanage, and fell off the radar. After ten years living in obscurity and mystery, however, Clint Barton reappeared suddenly and with a vengance, single handedly thwarting a terrorist attack by the radical group HYDRA against the Wakandan Embassy. Under the codename Hawkeye, he has been working underground against the dark forces emerging around the world. Most believe that Clint, growing jealous of his brother who had grown into a Hollywood A-List action star, had come out of hiding to steal back some of the spot light.

However, another theory has emerged, and while less accepted by the public, could soon tip the balance of the struggle for the world: Clint was taken in and trained by Nick Fury, learning the old ways of the world and all the secrets of S.H.I.E.L.D., and may have the Super-Soldier Serum running through his viens. Is Hawkeye just the newest person jumping on the super-hero bandwagon, or has the time come for a new breed to restore the old guard?

Written by Spider-Man9X17.

Why Have You Chosen That Character?: I wanted somebody fairly different to the average hero, and Clint has always seemed cool in my eyes (yes, even as Ronin), and I like what 9X17 setup.

What Do You Plan On Doing With This Character (IE: How are you changing him or her?): Coming off from what 9X17 established, I plan to make Clint obsessive, particularly with his targets, and a lot more deadly and vicious. He's a mysterious character, and I've got some planned story arcs that'll explore that.

Two Complete Sentences Explaining What You Can Bring To This RPG (As A Player): As a player, I can bring fresh new ideas to the RPG that could expand the universe we're creating. I'm also bringing a character who has a lot of potential to make things happen.

Please provide a small sample post in the format you wish to portray your character in (Minimum three paragraphs/one line of dialogue, maximum six paragraphs):

The Senator took to the stage. The audience cheered. The sniper rifle is aimed. As the Senator addressed the assembled public, above him sat a "security agent" holding a sniper rifle, a real H.A.M.M.E.R agent lying dead next to him. He wasn't all dead. As the assassin lined up the shot, Clint Barton opened his eyes, and looked up towards the killer.

In one movement, he leapt up and grabbed the killer around the neck, and threw him to the floor. The speech went on, as the assassin tried to get back to his feet, Clint holding him down with ease. Suddenly, the enemy headbutted Barton in the head, and Clint keeled back in pain. The killer made for the rifle again, but this time he was beaten to it, as Barton grabbed the sniper and aimed it down the corridor behind the balcony, and fired. The fire alarm rang out loudly through the hall, as the assembled crowds below began to disperse loudly, heading for the fire exits.

"I win. Gonna cough up who you work for, or am I going to have to throw you off this balcony?"

The man ignored the question, and ran towards Barton, whipping a knife out from his pocket.

"Little advice: take everything I say seriously," Clint hinted helpfully, as he kicked the man in the chest, sending him hurtling over the edge, and down into the empty hall below.

 

[Andy C.]

Sounds good. Check your PM box for some details regarding Hawkeye, but other than that, your app is APPROVED.

 

[sabetoonth]

[Eddie Brock]

Posts coming soon. The Halloween festivities have kept me up and about most of the weekend, but it's the perfect time of the year for a little Ghost Rider action, don'tcha think?

 

[Byrd Man]

No. Valentine's Day is GR's holiday.

 

[Carnage27]

Hey everyone, expect me to re-apply for Stephen Strange soon. I really want to finish my origin arc with him.

 

[lilgreenthumb]

[Andy C.]

Ummm.....okay. Thanks for stopping by, I guess.

The All-Star Marvel RPG
Character Application

Character you would like to play: Stephen Strange

Powers: At this point in time, Strange is not the sorcerer supreme. He is merely a novice sorcerer, traveling the world and studying under a myriad of different teachers. Still, Strange has showed slight psychic abilities throughout his life, including telepathy and hypnotism.

Through training, these abilities have enhanced, as well as Stephen being able to tap into the mystical sources of the Universe to his benefit. Through the magical training, he’s able to fire mystical bolts, use telekinesis, teleport, project shields, conjure objects, as well as absorb other forms of mystical energy.

On his travels, Strange has also trained in a few forms of martial arts, and when mixed with his mystical abilities, he is a deadly hand to hand fighter.

Basic history of the character (Up until this point): Stephen’s birth parents and true last name are completely unknown, as he was discovered on the front door of a orphanage in Philadelphia with a note that just read, “Stephen.” Throughout his childhood, he often converse with imaginary friends, whom he insisted were real, which often caused the other children and orphanage workers to call him “Strange”. But the “imaginary” friends were actually beings from other planes of existence drawn to him due to his great magical potential.

Stephen ran with the name, and when he came of age and left the orphanage he adopted it as his official last name, and set out into the world to train under the masters of mysticism throughout the far reaches of the Earth, prompted by the visions of an Asian man who visits him in his dreams.

He’s basically stolen, hitchhiked, and stowed away his way through Europe at this point, doing anything and everything to survive. While on the journey, he has also ran into plenty of supernatural threats which have grown in power as he has.

I last left him with the Ancient One, who informed him that he was destined to be the new Sorcerer Supreme of the Universe, and that his training would need to be completed under the Ancient One. When we pick up with him, he'll be a few months into the training.

Why Have You Chosen That Character?: Doctor Strange has always been an interesting character to me, but never one I’ve know a whole lot about. This game gives me an opportunity to use what I know and combine it with the idea I’ve got in my head.

What Do You Plan On Doing With This Character (IE: How are you changing him or her?): First of all, he’s going to be a lot younger in this universe, basically around 25. Also, I see him as more of a world trekking, gritty adventurer ala Indiana Jones. He’ll be going all over the place to take care of supernatural threats and be more laid back than the stuffy sorcerer he tends to come across as.

But, he’ll still fight some crime here and there and join up with other heroes.

Two Complete Sentences Explaining What You Can Bring To This RPG (As A Player): I can bring the mystical side of the Marvel Universe into the All-Star version. Also I want to finish the story I started a few months ago.

Please provide a small sample post in the format you wish to portray your character in (Minimum three paragraphs/one line of dialogue, maximum six paragraphs):

I focus hard on the spell the Ancient One has been teaching me for the past few days. It's one that I've had trouble with, more so than any of the others he's presented to me. My master has commented repeatedly that I am the quickest learner he's ever seen, but I still can't hold a candle to his power.

The daunting task of becoming the world's Sorcerer Supreme has been weighing heavily on my mind, slowing my progress. I don't understand how a misfit like me can be the world's most powerful sorcerer, but if the Ancient One says it is so, it must be.

As I relax and let go of my stress, my spell activates, and fire springs from my hands, taking the shape of two great serpents, who dance around me in a protective tango. They strike out at the Ancient One, who produces a shield that destroys them, "Good, my pupil. Now, practice by yourself for two hours then take a break. You have done well."

"Thank you, master," I reply as I get back in my stance.

 

[Andy C.]

Stephen Strange is APPROVED, albeit with one strike against him since you allowed him to time-out once already. Still, good to have you back, Carnage.

 

[Carnage27]

Yea, back when I dropped him work and school were weighing on me. Now all I got is school, so I have more time to post.

 

[Optikal]

Can't do this no more guys. Life just won't let me
