Quick nitpick, J'Adore: Jamie Madrox is already a team member of the X-Men, not a rogue mutant.

Man, that was actually the character I had an interesting idea for. What's his story and has anyone used him?

 

[Andy C.]

He was only really used as an NPC during Johnny Blaze's run as Cyclops. Was never given any backstory or much of anything in terms of personality, though.

Basically, the X-Men are a federally-sponsored task force organized in the wake of the assassination of Charles Xavier in the 1990s. Their job is to seek out unregistered mutants, then either recruit or detain them.

Broken link. Only post the part of the link after the equal sign. But on the topic of Iron Man, I'm going to make every attempt to restore and maintain productivity as him. And to begin that process, I'm going to drop Ghost Rider.

[CoreBrute]

Very nice video by the way.

[Andy C.]

Okay, seriously guys, it's been the better part of a week now with zero activity in the IC Thread. Get your asses back in here!

 

[Carnage27]

Yea, sorry Andy. I've been meaning to get a Shadowcat post up all last week and just had crap to do. I have no homework tonight though, so I will have one up, as well as a Strange post.

 

[sabetoonth]

Guess what Hulk post hasn't been made yet?

I'm getting around to it.

 

[Red_Robin77]

Post up, I'm really getting into the groove of Clint now. I think.

Character you would like to play: Kallark - The Gladiator

Powers: Gladiator possesses a number of superhuman capabilities as a result of his unique alien physiology including superhuman strength (capable of shattering a planet),superhuman speed, stamina and durability (capable of withstanding an explosion equivalent to a supernova); reflexes; heat vision (stated as "hotter than a star"); frost breath and is capable of warp speed flight (measured as "a hundred times the speed of light"). Gladiator's abilities increase and decrease in accordance with his level of confidence and is vulnerable to a certain form of rare radiation.

Basic history of the character (Up until this point): Kallark is an alien from the distant planet Stronia. The planet was one ravaged in war, the entire species divided into two familes had battled endlessly for millenia. War was all a Strontain knew and they were bred from birth to be soldiers. Kallark himself was the top of his class in every sense and quickly rose through the ranks to become Praetor, personal bodyguard of the Strontian Majestor and her people.

It was in this position that he saw the brother of the majestor, the cruel prince D'Ken unleash his final doomsday device to destroy his sister and take the Strontian throne for himself. The Majestor learned of D'Kens Neutron Bomb and sent Kallark out into space to meet D'Kens battleship in combat. The battleship was a ruse though and the bomb had already been launched. The Neutron bomb was intended to wipe out a specific set of targets around Strontia, but the vile D'Ken had miscalculated and before he could react, from the vastness of space, Kallark watched his homeworld burn and explode, shattering into the stars.

In one simple act, the entire planet and his entire species was wiped out. Kallark, Praetor to the Empire was lost. The Gladiator was the last of his species.

He turned from the fire and the destruction and wandered the bleakness of the universe, trying to find a place and waiting for the blackness of death so that he may join his people once more. Eventually though, he came upon a small planet in the Sol system. A planet the natives called 'Earth'. And it is here, upon this 'Earth' that he now finds himself. An alien without a home. A man without a family. A warrior without a war.

Why Have You Chosen That Character?: Kallark has always interested me. He's what I'd consider to be Marvels equivalent of Superman and that's a direction I'd quite like to take him in.

What Do You Plan On Doing With This Character (IE: How are you changing him or her?): He'll be ahero to the people. But I really want to tell a tale of a lonely man trying to find his place. I always thought that being the very last of something is a concept that can and has produced some of the greatest stories I've read and I'd love the chance to turn my hand to that and try to create my own.

Two Complete Sentences Explaining What You Can Bring To This RPG (As A Player): I'll reiterate what I put in my last app. Experience and a smidgen of talent.

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 Planet Strontia. Home of the soldier. The land of war. This is where he was born. In the fire and the storm and the blood of battle. A life fit for no child. His toys were weapon of death. His friends were victims of their fate. His life was nothing but the desire to win. To die for the cause was the greatest honour befitting a Strontian.

But Kallark was denied that honour.

He was the only one left. A lone wolf. A man with no home and no life. An existence that yearned for death ot take him.

But he was a God.

The power gifted to him from heritage and experience. Other species cowered before him. They knew the dark legacy of his kind and the violence they so readily wrought. The universe despised Strontia and her bastard children.

And so he flies, with no destination or course. A relic of a lost culture. A curiosity of the past. Centuries old and yet still so young. A mind as strong as the physical body it was encased in.

Kallark.

Lost son of Strontia.

And as he stares at his hands and sees the echoes of blood upon them he knows that there is no place for him. Not for people like him. Too much blood. Too much death.

So he travels to the farthest reach of the universe. To the system ruled by the star they call Sol. And he finds a planet as blue and as vibrant and as full of life as Strontia once was. He knows of these 'humans'. Short lived and weak. A mere speck in the corner of the great blackness. But yet full of hope and wonder.

He descends to look upon them and search for his place.

But to them, even a lonely God is still one to be feared.

They level their weapons at him and order his surrender. But surrender is never an option for him. It is treason to his fallen blood kin. He does not surrender, but also he does not fight.

He extend his arms outward, a gesture of openness. "Fear me not, Earthers. I mean you no harm. My name is Kallark, but those who know me call me The Gladiator".

Hey, Op's back!

Which means that Gladiator is APPROVED.

 

[Catman_prb]

Finally finished reading the IC thread. Will think about applying soon.

 

[Carnage27]

It'd be awesome to have you, Cats.

Who are you interested in?

 

[Andy C.]

We'd be glad to have ya back, Cats.

 

[Catman_prb]

Well, depending upon his availability, I was thinking of picking up Thor, but obviously if Optikal's still playing him I wouldn't want to mess that up. Failing that, I could always pick one of the various mutants in the X-Men.

 

[Andy C.]

Op was playing Thor before he dropped out, but when he had to leave the game for a bit, technically his characters became up for grabs again. Op's back, but he hasn't re-applied for Thor yet, so the character's still available until he does.

Character Application

Character you would like to play: Thor, the Thunder God

Powers: Strongest of the Norse gods, master of the elements of the storm, Thor also bears the might hammer of the God, Mjolnir, which can only be wielded by the pure of intent.

Basic history of the character (Up until this point): The Asgardians were at war with the Frost Giants for centuries, until Odin brokered a peace. Thor was part of the diplomatic party that was in conference with the Giants. During the summit, Loki plied Thor with drink, and the Thunder God was quickly angered by insensetive remarks from the Giants. Thor went into a murderous rage, only stopped by the combined intervention of Balder, Loki and Odin himself. In order for the peace, and Asgard, to survive, Odin had to sacrifice his favourite son, opting to exile him to Midgard. The Thunder God has since made alliances with the Avengers, even going for a drink with the Vision.

Why Have You Chosen That Character?: He's one of the big three, and needs a consistent player.

What Do You Plan On Doing With This Character (IE: How are you changing him or her?): I'm keen to explore the Norse mythology aspect of the character.

Two Complete Sentences Explaining What You Can Bring To This RPG (As A Player): Good storytelling. Peace on earth.

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):
Thor staggered out into the alleyway behind the bar, leaning against the brickwork for support. He shuffled forwards, attempting to keep his balance with one hand keeping a tight grip on Mjolnir. He vomited in the gutter until he was dry-heaving, and then pushed himself back up, moving his hair out of the way. He staggered again and fell down onto the wet cobbles, leaning his head against the wall. He moaned.

"Father!" he shouted into the sky.

He pushed himself back onto his feet and off of the wall, standing on his own two feet. He moved into the centre of the alleyway and shouted again, raising his head to the sky.

"Father!"

Thunder crashed, lightning flashed and a figure in a wolf fur pelt stepped out of a crack in the world. He wore an eyepatch, a livid scar running down his cheek. He bared his teeth, snarling.

"What?" the Lord of Asgard barked.

 

[Andy C.]

Allrighty, let's see if we finally have a Thor that's going to stick.

Catman is APPROVED.



Also, a bit of an announcement. Activity's been dragging for a while now, so in order to rectify this, I'm going to be doing the weekly roster checks again. Since I know a lot of people have a lot on their plate during the Christmas season, I won't be posting the weekly checks until after New Year's. However, I will be checking the roster over the next couple of days and PM anyone whose characters are approaching the 30-day mark.

 

[Byrd Man]

This:

"—And in the pages of that Holy Book, I learned the importance of the virtues of faith and forgiveness. And I learned that only through faith in the Lord and through the love of Him and not mortal, adulterous women, will I ever find true peace and happiness. And by accepting the Lord as my personal savior, I am forever under his protection and guidance. I’m a believer now, guys. I’m saved! Afterwards, I felt a million times better! I feel like I can take all of SCYLLA by myself!"

“No one’s stopping you.”

“Also, I really hate gays now."

“…….Wonderful…Why don’t we—“

"—And Jews."

“.....”

“…..”

"....."

Made me.

Rain Dog, I love you.
