Okay, after several months of little to no actual internet connection of my own, I'm finally back for realz. That means I can actually get my **** together with Green Goblin!

....tomorrow, once I get caught up with what the hell's been going on since the last time I posted.

Sweet. Once I get done with the Avengers we can do that thing. Not that thing but the other thing. You know, the thing with the thing and the other stuff.
 
's cool. I need to wrap up my stuff with Doc Ock and the Six first anyway. Looking forward to making the web-head's life a living hell, though.
 
Thor post up today...and FYI everyone Thor and Apoc are fighting on street level with Apoc's ship hovering overhead.
 
Yeah, I was just catching up with OOC and was about to say.... We're on the street, the horseman re there too. Ozymandias, the stone immortal is on the ship ready to fire the cannons.

Also, don't forget about the symbiote plague!

Oooh, so much to contend with! muahahahahahaaaa!
 
So Wolverine's not being played? Sweet. I think I might apply for Marvel's number one team-****e :yay:
 
I hope have a Hulk post up tomorrow or Sunday. The past two weeks have been utter hell at school. I was actually kicked out of one of my Drama classes yesterday after not being able to stay awake because I've been forced to pull off too many all-nighters. My workload is finally lightening up, so by the end of today, I should actually have time to post before the s**tstorm of school work begins anew.
 
Sorry, bkhedr. I was dead, but have now been exhumed from my grave as a Black Lantern, and shall get a post up soon.
 
Ahh so you weren't all dead, you wwere just reading Blackest Night :P
 
Apologies for my epic fail chaps. I'm shuffling over to IC RIGHT NOW :(
 
Just wanted to give props to y'all (Especially you, Bkhedr) for making the climax to my time playing Apocalypse so much fun :D

Now that ole Apoc is in the grasp of the Celestials, I can't wait to read how you guys are going to solve the Symbiote infected problem.
 
I'm not dead either, but my laptop almost is, hence my lack of posts lately.
 
Not dead either. Just more overworked than I originally thought. Getting a post up tonight will definitely be a top priority for me now.
 
So, seeing as how I'm the only GM left. I decided to get a scapego- I mean another GM.

Even thought this RPG has been too quiet, I'm appointing Bkhedr as Co-GM.

Together we will rule you all! Hear us, fear us, and obey!
 
Just to clarify, in case there's any confusion; the Leader in the current comics isn't dead, but the cut-off point of this RPG from the comics' timeline is before it was revealed that he faked his death, so he is effectively dead for all intents and purposes in our continuity... [blackout]sort of.[/blackout]
 
Right on guys. Seeing as though I'm now done with Apocalypse, I figured I'd reinvest in the other tale I started weaving a few months back. So with that in mind, I resubmit:

MARVEL RPG SEASON VII Application


Screen Name: Optikal

Character you would like to play: Punisher

Powers: None. Weapons Specialist and Master Tactician.

Three reasons why you have chosen that character:

1. I want a street level hero

2. I want to tell a story

3. And I really really really want a zigga zig aah!

Write two complete sentences using proper English grammar explaining what you think you can bring to the RPG: i kan mayke a gud strry aboot heroes and vilans what will set your world on fire then a fireman will come and put it out and hulk will make love to t'challa and theyll hav lil black and green babys and will rool the world. and frank kastle will be a babysitter employed by the red skull to look after the babys and change his codename to pacifier and he'll look like vin diesel who betrays sugarman to nick fury for not winding the bays and destroying genosha. did i win?

How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: Abou' tree fiddy.

Please provide a sample post in the style that you plan to write your character in (must be at least 3 paragraphs long and contain at least 1 line of dialogue):

I could still taste it.

The metallic tinge of my own blood as it trickled from smashed lips and broken teeth. The fat man hovered over me like an exitable vulture fluttering around fresh carrion. The club in his hand swung close to my face, the cool air soothing bruised flesh as it brushed over me. I thought of how long I'd been here, hands zip-tied behind my back, knees aching on the damp concrete.

But time was irrevelant now, soon the big man of the operation would be here and the .44 calibur round that poured my brain out of the back of my head would be my finality.

It's strange really, kneeling here in the middle of a deserted warehouse, waiting death to arrive. You'd have thought that my life would flash before my eyes, that I'd contemplate all the rights and wrongs in my life. I figured that I should be pondering regrets and all the other crap you hear about on TV. Fact of the matter is though, that kneeling here, bloodied and broken, on the verge of death, the only thing I could think of was the fact that I really needed a piss.

The fact that of all the people I've ever hunted down, and all the filth I've removed from society, it was these small time drug pushers that managed to get the drop on me really left a sickening feeling in my gut.

The job had been as simple as ever. A crack house. A festering pit of needle riddled scum that the law had chosen to overlook. Even when the twelve year old carrier they were using was raped and shot. I'd stormed it and taken out most of the junkies with ease, but the bum that hid in the closet suprised me with a tazer to the back of the neck.

It went black after that.

Until I awoke here.

The fat man swung the bat again, grunting when I refused to flinch at his threats. His cell rang and a few brief grunts later he flipped it closed and I knew it was only a matter of moments before that .44 smashed through my forehead. The fat man turned away from me and kicked at a lump of brick, sending a cloud of dust up into the air as it skittered across the filthy concrete.

In that moment I knew that I had one chance.

I surged to my feet and charged him, cannoning into him and knocking him to the ground. I followed through and rammed my head into the bridge of his nose, dizzying myself but managing to shatter his bones and knock him out. He hit the ground with a dull thud as a spray of his blood sprayed across my already beaten and bloody face. I clumsily fumbled my knife from my arsenal laid upon a small fold-away table, managed to reverse it and cut the ties from my hands. Quickly, I grabbed the unconciouss thug, dragged him to a dark corner and tied him up with his belt. Then grabbing my coat and my weaponry from the table I picked up the sawn-off and my desert eagle, before slipping the coat over aching shoulders.

Suddenly the doors to the warehouse swung open and a small skinny man in a vomit coloured pin-stripe suit entered, flanked by two burly guards. Both the guards dropped with a bullet to the head from the eagle before they even raised the rifles in thier hands. The small man turned and tried to run, but stumbled and fell as I blew out his kneecap. He rolled in the dirt screaming and bawling like a baby, thick sticky blood seeping through white knuckled fingers as he clutched at the destroyed knee. I strolled over to him and levelled the shotgun at his head.

"It's over DeBlaine. Time for your punishment".

"P-please don't kill me kill me Castle! I can get you money... cars... women... whatever you want..."

I thought of about three different lines to spurt, funny quips like Spider-man often offered up. The little gangster pissed himself and made no attempt to mask it as he wimpered and cried at my feet.

The police would be here soon enough, but even a hooked up small time punk like DeBlaine would be out in a few months with nothing more than a slap on the wrist and a few hundred dollars less in his bank account. Home free and back using ten year olds to run his ***** through the streets.


"I'm sorry Frank, I'll leave town, I'll get out and you'll never here from me again! Just leave me Frank, leave me here for the cops".

Lying, weasely, no-balls scum.

The worst of them all.

Tasting the blood in my mouth, I hawked and spat.

And pulled the trigger.


Do you know how to post pictures on the hype boards:

Oh wait, you're Ares so you never left....

In any case since I'm a co GM now I've been doing some thinking. Being an old school RPer I believe in the GM as a Game Master not just roster administrator. Basically the GMs are responsible for keeping the game going and keeping it fun for all the players.

So......

I've got this idea to stimulate the RPG and bring some new excitement.

Basically I'm thinking Byrd and I can settle into our GM roles in a more traditional paper and pencil sort of fashion by basically generating random events ( i can jury rig a marvel oriented random events table). This will make the RP world seem more alive and give heroes and villians things to do (if they want)

This would of course mean that I would be constantly playing a third character who is always changing.

So one time it could be Nefaria attacks a nuclear power plant another time Blizzard robs a bank, another time one of the hero's friends is kidnapped, or a stadium collapses.

Ect. Ect.

I was thinking one random event every 20 posts or so.

What do you guys think?
 
You mentioned my boy Blizzard... that alone makes your idea full of WIN!
 
Alrighty then. Expect the first random event early next week. I will always make a post in this thread to let everyone know its on.

Once its on players are welcome to get involved in the event, use it to advance their stories, start new stories off of it, or just ignore it if they wish.

But remember, even if you all ignore it, it still happened. IE: just because no PC foils a bank robbery doesn't mean the bank wasn't robbed. But don't worry, I'll be sure to let you know before I post anything like Aunt May has Terminal Cancer, or Pepper Potts is kidnapped by Ezekial Stane.
 
Hang on... So you'll be throwing things out there that will directly effect another characters specific history? (Aunt May having cancer example)

Because whilst I'm up for some random events, there definitely shouldn't be direct consequence for anyones particular direction.
