[bkhedr]

I'm on vacation and have been away from a computer.

Will post soon though.

 

[bkhedr]

K I know I am holding us up. I will get a post up today I promise (a Thor post so Keyser isn't stuck anymore)

 

[Optikal]

*Pops head in*

Woah... Seriously the IC thread has moved two pages since I was last here like... 2 months ago?

*leaves again*

So come back and help kickstart this shiz.

Yeah, your abysmal portrayal of Deadpool destroyed the morale of every other player in the game.

Pwnd.

So after much aggravation and having to completely reformat my harddrive, I make my less than triumphant return.

Welcome back, brother.

 

[Optikal]

Guys, think we can get an updated roster up in here?

Also, what's the cut-off point for the X-Men?

 

[Byrd Man]

Cut off point for the X-Men is like the cut off point for everything in the RPG, post House of M pre Civil War.

And for the roster, go stick the roster in your ear! Just cause you're not listed as Punisher, you're gonna complain?!

 

[Optikal]

Nope, what's the point in complaining about how utterly *****e the administration in this place is?! I actually wanted to see who was available more than anything else.

Screen Name: Optikal

Character you would like to play: Vulcan (Gabriel Summers)

Powers: Vulcan is a mutant with the ability to manipulate vast amounts of energy. In addition to traditional energies of the electromagnetic spectrum Vulcan has displayed control over exotic energies such as Cyclops' optic blasts and magical energy.

He has used his powers to produce light, heat, force, and electricity, as well as warp or disable large amounts, and different types, of existing energy sources, tap into and suppress mutant energies, survive in the vacuum of space, and fly. Outside a planetary atmosphere his flight speed can even reach near the speed of light. He is able to go without food for long periods by directly absorbing energy. He can manipulate electricity within a person's brain. He can also use the powers of others by manipulating the energy in their brain. When he uses his powers, his eyes glow. He has been confirmed as an Omega-level mutant.

Why don't you get on ****ing MSN, Byrd.

 

[Johnny Blaze]

So, since it seems that villains are lacking...

Screen Name: Johnny Blaze

Character you would like to play: Kang the Conqueror

Powers:

Taken From Marvel Wiki

Aging: Kang is over 70 years old chronologically, but has managed to stop his aging completely using his far-flung futuristic technology. Thus he appears to be a man in his mid-40s.

Superior-level Intellect: Though it is hard to gauge Kang's intellect given his futuristic origins, his genius is nothing short of super-human by modern standards. He commands technology beyond the most sophisticated designs of Stark Industries and Doctor Doom, and has made breakthroughs in time travel and robotics. Kang is the only known time traveler (other than his counterpart Immortus) who has the ability to travel through time without creating divergences.

Political Savvy: Kang is a brilliant military tactician and a peerless general. Using his considerable charisma, Kang was able to raise an army and conqueror his first world within weeks of building his armor. He has conquered everything within 100 light years from Other Earth, including the counterpart Badoon and Shi'ar empires of his reality. Though he considers it a chore, Kang is also a capable statesman.

Skilled Combatant: Kang is a master of both armed and unarmed combat. He has managed to go toe-to-toe with Captain America, and single handedly held back Immortus' time-tossed army for several minutes during the Destiny War.

Indomitable Will: Through sheer force of will, Kang managed to separate himself from his future counterpart Immortus. Kang is absolutely fearless, and will stop at nothing to accomplish his own goals.

Battle Armor: Kang's battle armor is produced from a rare synthetic alloy from the 40th century. It is neuro-kinetic, meaning it responds to his subconscious thoughts. Though Kang has no powers, his armor endows him with rough equivalents of super-human abilities.

* Enhanced Strength: Gives Kang the ability to lift 5 tons.
* Durability: The armor has a built in force-field that extends from 2 feet away from his body, outward to 20 feet in all directions. It can withstand even a nuclear strike at point blank range.
* Anti-Gravity Device: Kang has a device in the gauntlets of his armor that allows him to render objects weighing up to 2.2 tons weightless.
* Video Communicator: Built into the right wrist is a video communicator, which he can use to stay in contact with his bases from any point in the time-stream.
* Time Travel: Kang's armor can create temporal divergences, giving him the ability to travel through and manipulate time.
* Concussive Bolts: Kang can fire concussive blasts from the finger tips of his gauntlets; these blasts have the force of several tons of dynamite.
* Weaponry: By cracking his fingers, Kang can summon any number of weapons which are transported to him through time-stream instantly.
* Electric Shock: By flexing his muscles, Kang can activate a powerful electric shock.
* Hover Pad: Kang has often made use of a hover-pad in his battles.
* Survival Kit: Kang's armor has a self-contained atmosphere, 30 day supply of food, and waste disposal system.

Weapons: He typically carries various weapons, such as an anti-matter defense screen generator, a "vibration-ray" projector, an electromagnetic field amplifier, neutrino-ray warhead missile launcher (hand-gun size), cobalt energy glove, electrical paralysis generator, nerve gas sprayer and a molecular expander. He commands a vast array of warriors from across all periods of time, including his own future era, armed with advanced weaponry. He used numerous robots, most notably his Growing Man stimuloids, packed with the "Growth Pollen" of the world Kosmos, which causes them to grow in size and strength by absorbing kinetic energy; this Growth Pollen uses the same energy accessed via the size-changing "Pym Particles" discovered by Dr Hank Pym.

Three reasons why you have chosen that character: He's one of my favorite character in comics. He arguably the Avengers greatest villain. And, finally, because I ****ing want to.

Write two complete sentences using proper English grammar explaining what you think you can bring to the RPG: I don't think, I know I can bring experience in RPing. Other than that, not a God damn thing.

How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: As many as I ****ing feel like.

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):

June the 6th, 1944

Normandy, France

The Allied Forces charged up Omaha Beach, being met coldly by spray of the sea and Nazi gunfire.

Men screamed out orders as they pushed forward to find cover. Others screamed in agony as the bullets from the machine gun fire tore them to pieces.

"Push forward", screamed Kang as he stood from his cover.

"Do not remain a stationary target! Move!"

Slowly the Conqueror, dressed in the garb of an U.S. Ranger Captain, began to rally his squad and move them up towards the bluffs.

Kang and his soldiers made their way up into edge of the bluffs as the Germans continued to tear into their ranks. Taking some cover in a shallow trench, Kang and his squad faced a line of razor-wire.

"Wire-cutters", called Kang and a private quickly ran up, a pair of large wire-cutters in his hand.

Leaning over the trench, Kang cut the razor-wire enough to open up a pathway.

"All right! Move out, go! Go!"

The soldiers charged through the opening and into enemy lines. From the pill boxes towering above them, German troops opened fire with their MG 42s. Eight soldiers fell as the squad moved inland.

Machine gun fire ripped down the dirt path, taking out a young private.

"Take cover!"

Moving behind some structures along the dirt path, Kang's forces dived for cover.

he was born in blood and fire.

obsidian eyes took in the milling crowd as they gathered around the tv sets displayed in the store window. Most were silent, a few offered their own one-liners and tired quips borne of armchair politics. He drew the hood of his jacket deeper over his face, drowning dark eyes in darker shadow.

he was raised in pain and slavery.

as people jostled for position to get the best view, the young man dressed like a a typical card carrying member of new yorks homeless pushed himself into the crowd. Months of practise at working crowd allowed him to slip inbetween people like an oiled snake. He reached the glass and saw what the commotion was about. On the many screens, playing silently was a live news feed of a recent battle. The ticker informed the crowd that the mutants known as the x-men taking on an as-yet unidentified foe.

he lived at the will of others.

his dark eyes took in the scene, watched the figures dance about the screen in lethal combat, he read the repeating ticker of near useless information. Then he saw him. Just a picture. A still image that brought the nightmares everytime he slept into stark clarity. A hand pressed against the glass as he leaned in closer, dark eyes narrowing. His mind raced as memories and dreams, visions and ghosts rushed back and clicked into place.

and then he died for them.

the man in the image was responsible for it all. And his payment was long overdue. Dark eyes watched for a moment longer as the name formed.

"xavier" he whispered.

in blood and fire.

MARVEL RPG SEASON VII Application[/CENTER]

Screen Name: Ummmm, I forget

Character you would like to play:Daredevil

Powers:Blinded as a youth by an unknown radioactive substance, Matt Murdock's other 4 senses were heightened to superhuman levels, as well as being granted a radar-sense. He is also in top-notch athletic condition.

Three reasons why you have chosen that character:

1. I like the dark, grittiness of the characters

2. I would like to play a street level hero to compliment the world-renownedness of Hawkeye

3. I think Greek assassins-turned prostitute-turned assassin again are hot

Write two complete sentences using proper English grammar explaining what you think you can bring to the RPG:I can bring beer. And I can bring nachos

How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: As many as my pitiful life will allow

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):(Disclaimer: This is a post from the original Dawn of Marvel's RPG, though aside from the origin aspect of the post, this is how my Daredevil will be written. Forgive the lack of formatting at the moment, I'ma bit pressed for time.)

“Coucilman Evans, you’ve met my client, Miss Amber Reigns before, is that correct?”

“Yes sir.”

“You have a very personal relationship, in fact?”

“Yes.”

“And what is that relationship?”

Matt Murdock could not see it, but he could sense the defendant squirm slightly, though the jury seemed unaware of the uneasiness as well. It wasn’t there fault; they just saw the councilman in a different way…literally. Matt could hear the grief fluttering of the man’s heart, pick up a shortness of breath, and even feel the minuscule rise in body temperature.

“She’s a dancer at Sal’s Strip Saloon. I paid for a private dance from her every Wednesday night.”

“So, it is safe to say then that you were there Wednesday, March Third?”

“Yes.”

“The night that Miss Reigns was assaulted and raped in the back alley of Sal’s?”

His heartbeat quickened even more.

“Yes, but I’ve already said, I had nothing to do with that. I have witnesses that have already testified that I left the club that night almost an hour before this incident.”

His heart quickened, skipped a beat. Body temp up again. Bingo. Liar.

“Yes, councilman, but some of those same witnesses say you also left after a very loud confrontation with my client, a confrontation she says came about after you crossed the line of customer privilege. Do you care to contest that point?”

“As a matter of fact, I do. Miss Reigns wasn’t quite on her game that night, so to speak, and after I left her a tip a bit short of her usual amount, she began defensive and aggressive, and physically tried to take my wallet from my person. If you ask me, this whole thing is just a scam to get what she feels I shorted her, and then some.”

“You lying B@$TARD!”

Amber Reigns jumped from her seat in anger, quickly subdued by Foggy Nelson, Matt’s partner in law.

“Order! ORDER! Mr. Murdock, your examination just seems to be going in circles around what has already been previously been said. Do you have anything else to add?”

“No sir. I was just trying to reiterate the fact that Councilman Evans had not only the preexisting relationship with my client, as well as being in the right place in a very close time frame of said crime, and that we must also nto forget that bits of his skin were found under my client’s nails. This all coupled with the oft overlooked fact that my client has fingered him as the perpertrator…”

“All circumstantial Mr. Murdock.”

Councilman Evan’s lawyer stood up.

“Your honor, I would also like to remind the jury that several other men’s skin was found under Miss Reigns’ fingernails, something that is surely common in her line of work.”

“Noted. If nobody has anything else to add, the jury is adjourned for deliberation.”

-

“Not guilty. They found him not guilty!”

“Matt, there was no solid case against him. Some down on her luck stripper crying rape against a high class councilman. Things weren’t good for us from the start.”

“He did it, Foggy. Beyond the shadow of a doubt, he did it.”

“I’m not doubting you, buddy, but like I said, we were against the wall to begin with. Look, you can’t win ‘em all. All you can do is give it one hundred percent, right?”

Matt nodded slowly, the words sinking deep into his soul

-

“One hundred percent.”

Matt extracted a small metal box from the top shelf of his closet and laid it on his bed, slowly opening the lid. Inside were several neatly folded pieces of flexible, though highly tough, dark red fabric. He pulled out the top piece and held it out in front of him, as though he were looking at it. A red mask, designed to fit over the top part of the head, with a small horn protruding from above either eye. It was truly demonic to behold.

“It’s time.”

-

"Mmmmmm....so, how much do I owe you."

"Three hundred, but for a performance like that, I almost feel like I owe you."

"Doll, you gave me plenty."

The scantily clad woman emerged from Councilman Evan' car, walking around and leaning in the driver's window to collect her payment.

"So, you a regular around here?"

"I'm around every now and then. Can't stay in one place too long. Draws unwanted atten..."

*CRASH*

The windshield of the car suddenly exploded in a shower of glass shards, Councilman Evan's himself hit hard in the face by a hard, metal, red shaft. His call girl let out a shrill cry, backing away from the sudden commotion.

"Get out of here."

The voice came from the shadows, a low growl, booming from the bowls of Hell. The hooker hesitated for only an instant, and then was gone.

Evan's reached up and wiped a stream of blood from his nose, oblivious to the voice in the darkness or his feeling hooker. He was brought back to reality by a crimson gloved hand that suddenly found itself tightly around the Councilman's neck. He looked up, his face reflected back in the shiny, blood red eyes of the Devil himself.

"You have innocent blood on your hands, yet you run around free. You can only run from justice for so long before you have to pay the devil his due."

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): "Such a lovely child," Khan said as he patted the head of the pig-tailed blond little girl.

"Please don't hurt her!" said the sweating, balding little man on the viewscreen.

"Will the guards be away from their posts at the chemical plant tomorrow night at midnight?" asked The Mandarin in his deep, smooth, rumbling voice.

"I can't do that!" replied the little balding man, "there's no way for me to hide who sent the guards that order! They'll know I was in on it within hours of you hitting the place! They'll kill me!"

"I'm growing bored with this conversation. Plus, it's eating into my lunch-break" said The Mandarin, a smile twitching at the edge of his face. "Whatever shall I do about that?"

One of The Mandarin's rings began to glow. The little girl screamed as her body warped and mutated and shrank, transforming in seconds into a delicious bowl of mandarin duck.

The little balding man on the view-screen clutched what was left of his hair in his hands, "you murdered her! You monster!" he screamed.

"Not yet!" proclaimed The Mandarin gleefully, "what my Matter-Rearranger ring has done can be undone just as easily. Assuming, of course, that there is enough left of her to restore."

The Mandarin plucked a small piece of mandarin duck out of the bowl with chopsticks, "I wonder which part of her this was?" said The Mandarin, "her finger? Her toe? Her eye?" he closed his eyes and popped the piece of mandarin duck into his mouth, chewing it slowly, savoring the exquisite flavor.

"For godssake, stop! Stop!" screamed the little balding man, "I'll do it! I'll give all the guards the night off!"

"Excellent!" said The Mandarin, "I'm so pleased that we could come to an understanding."

God, I need to catch up on this game. School work's taken up almost all of my attention recently, and the UDC RPG is pretty much the only game that I've had time for lately (sorry guys, but I just naturally gravitate towards that one). My final exam is on Monday, though, so after that I'll have oodles of free time and I fully intend on getting up to date on the IC posts here, and posting the hell out of the Hulk and Banner.
