poor SpiderByte he obviously doesn't know that when you become a gm you become immortal. Its like a ****ed up Highlander kind of deal.
 
So having just now looked into the IC thread I have this to say:

Is the Hitler thing real? Like... no ****? It's not a dream sequence?

**** me. I'm speechless.
 
Screen Name: Gallagher

Character you would like to play: Scott Summers/Cyclops

Powers: Eye-beams man! Red ones!

Three reasons why you have chosen that character:

1. We need more X-Men, not to mention players.

2. I miss playing Cyke from way back when.

3. Been reading through the first 4 volumes of Astonishing again. Damn I love Cyclops.

Write two complete sentences using proper English grammar explaining what you think you can bring to this RPG in particular:
The start of an X-Team, seriously where the hell did these guys go? Come on people pick up more Muties!

Sample (Out of Continuity, last Cyke post before I left, won't be continuing on from this point):

"Well that was a waste of time."
Emma pitched in as the two X-Men travelled along the darkend roads in their truck, starting the long drive back to a secret warehouse on the docks that the X-Men had found themselves hold up in.

"We had to try Emma, there was always the chance he knew something about it."
Scott answered, not taking his eyes off the road ahead. "Where did you go last night?"

Emma looked taken aback by Scott's sudden line of questioning.

"What do you mean dear?"

"I felt you leave the bed, you didn't come home for hours."
Scott said, his face practically made of stone, his expression serious.

"I... I went looking for answers. Just like we did today."

"What are you doing in there Emma?"
Scott asked, tapping his temple lightly. "I can feel you, you know? After all these years did you not think I'd be able to pick up on when you were affecting me?"

"I just want to know where this sudden distrust has come from Scott."
The telepath professed.

"I do trust you Emma, I trust you with my life."
Cyclops replied, his face not changing.

"Good... You've no reason to doubt me my love."

"Have I not?"

"What is this?"
Emma said, turning in her seat to face her lover a look of confusion and hurt on her face. "Why are you suddenly so..."

"You dissapear into the night, you dont come home, you're distant, you enter my head without permission... I didn't want to let those kids go did I Emma?"

The white queen was silent for a moment before answering.

"No... I influenced your decision... I had to do something drastic otherwise more children would be dead. You needed to be a stronger leader Scott, I was only trying to help you realise this, you're wavering, your confidence in yourself is failing."


Scott put on the brakes and the truck grounded to a sudden halt.

"How do I know this isn't your doing Emma? How do I know my sudden lack of confidence isn't down to you?"


"Don't flatter yourself Scott, your failure as a leader is your doing, not mine."

"So you admit? You think I'm a failure, maybe you should lead the team?"

"I wasn't suggesting that."

"Then what are you suggesting Emma!?"
Scott yelled finally snapping his anger getting the better of him. "You've sat there, undermining me, exploiting the one weakness you know I have..."

"Ha! One weakness? Scott my dear your mind is a maze of personality defects that I can't even comprehend. Confidence issues are only scratching the surface."

"What would you have me do!?"
Summers cried, his whole body shaking.

"Let go."

"What?"

"Those children died because you weren't strong enough, let me help you, let me show you the way."
She said softly, reaching a hand out, stroking his hair. "I can make you a better leader, I can make it so that you can save everyone. Thats all you've ever wanted to do isn't it? Save everyone?"

She moved her other hand, placing them on either side of his head.

"Let us make you a better, stronger leader."

"Us?"
Scott said, feebily.

"Only the strong will survive Scott..."
 
Dropping Luke Cage completely as I don't much fancy running a team all by myself.

Alkali Lake.
Canada.
1972.



Two men sat alone in the small room. A large mirrored wall on the left of the room, provided a viewing space for a group of scientists to make their notes on the goings on. Within the grey box-room sat a man wearing a black uniform. Across the small table sat a dark haired man in a white vest and black jeans. He had the butt of a cigar in his mouth and casually blew smoke through gritted teeth after each puff.

The officer spoke up first, rummaging idly at a thick file on the table in front of him. “Mr Howlett, as you are aware, this organization has selected you for our programme for a very specific reason...”

“Because I’m a freak”,
he grunted matter-of-factly.

The officer pursed his lips, cautious as to his manner around the other man.“We prefer the term ‘mutant’. But yes, you were selected for your mutant healing ability as well as your training and talent as a soldier. Our programme desires the best of the best and in your field, you are one of the best”.

“I’m THE best”.

“Indeed. Should you wish to sign up to our programme, you will be given training and preparation, as well as a position in our most elite black ops force. You will also be paid a significant sum for your time and co-operation”.

Logan scratched his face idly, considering the proposal. “What exactly is this ‘programme’ and what are you and your buddies standing behind that mirror over there planning to do to me?”

The officer flicked his gaze toward the mirror and back towards Logan. “I... uh… We plan to have you undergo a series of physically enhancing tests. Your body will be tested to the limit as we attempt to ‘enhance’ your already considerable talents”.

“Keep talkin'…” Logan leaned back in his seat and stretched his legs out, crossing them and folding his arms on his chest. “Look. You can be straight with me and we’ll be on the level, or you can keep tryin' to leadme down the long path and I can rip your arms off. Choice is yours, bub”.

The officer swallowed hard, his gaze flicking toward the mirror repeatedly. “Well, you will be partaking in a variety of experiments by the very best medical minds available. We will enhance your powers, give you better toold for job and make you damn near indestructible”.

Logan’s expression remained flat as he became lost in thought. After a few moments of silence and a whole load of erratic glances by the young officer, he smiled. He removed his cigar from between his teeth and died it out on the desk. Leaning forward, he caused the young man to tense “And if I say no?”

“Well Logan, you will be free to go about your life as you see fit. However, there is one more outstanding matter that we must address…”

"Heh" he snorted, “And what might that be?”

“Your father. He died around the same time you disappeared. We’ve been investigating his death for a long time. The killer was never found. But we know pretty much everything. The file is right here. Should you choose not to accept our offer, then I’m afraid this file might become a problem for all of us. However, should you undertake our programme, I’m sure you’ll find that paperwork… well, it can have a habit of disappearing”.

Creed scowled and let out a low throaty growl. “I knew you bastards had somethin’ up your sleeve the second you picked me up in that hell hole. Well bub, looks like I don’t have much of a choice then do I?”

The officer stood and smiled, moving to the door with the file under his arm. “We all have choices Mr Howlett. It’s what we do with them that counts. Welcome to the Weapon X program Logan".

MARVEL RPG SEASON VII Application


Screen Name: Op

Character you would like to play: Reverend William Stryker

Powers: None. Baseline human.

Three reasons why you have chosen that character:

1. I have a story to tell.

2. See answer 1.

3. See answer 2.

Write two complete sentences using proper English grammar explaining what you think you can bring to the RPG: Enthusiasm and the ability to tell a good story. I also do good sucky sucky... ten dollar.

How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: as many as need be.

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):


"And the Good Lord appeared to me, and proclaimed that the demons were put here on Earth by Lucifer himself! To test the faith of the good, and the pure and the holy!"


Sat upon a stage to the left of a large golden dias, Matthew Risman stared at the speaker. The man upon the dias was covered from neck to toe in long black robes emblazoned with a brilliant white crucifx, his arms spread out over the crowd as he spoke. His name was Reverend William Stryker and he held a captivated congression in the palm of his hand.

Risman glanced over the crowd in front of them and shuffled in his seat a little. Matthew knew first hand that Stryker was a great man, and more of a saviour to the hundreds of people in the room than any of the super-powered freaks that were falling out of the sky.

"And as the world bends and cowers to their will, we will not yield! We will stand strong! Our faith is our power, our purity is our strength and the Lord upon high is our guidance!"

"AMEN!" a random member of the congregation hollered.

"PRAISE THE LORD!" the rest of the congregation joined in.

Matthew glanced across at the white haired leader and smiled, He was the epitmoy of strentgh and power, and every syllable he ushered was spoken with the absolute conviction that was needed to rally people to their cause. The meeting came to an end and the Congression filtered out of the hall. Risman remained in his seat until the room was mostly empty before getting up to approach the Reverend.

He pulled back the deep hood that had covered most of his face and stood, nodding in appreciation."Another brilliant speech Reverend. Each day more and more join our following. Soon we'll have enough followers to begin our mission in earnest."

Stryker smiled, his eyes glistening. "People are weak alone, they need certainty and leadership in these dark, uncertain times Matthew. That leader is God himself, I am merely a messenger for Him".

Stryker began to walk towards a small side door leading into a small study in the back of the building. Matthew fall into step just behind him. "And your position is a great one Reverend. The Lord is indeed wise and good and we are eternally for him saving the lives of my family."

Stryker stopped in his stride and turned, grasping Rismans shoulders at arms length and staring into his eyes. "God loves you Matthew, as God loves all of his children. He gave you a gift and in return He merely asks for your faith. You are a good man Matthew and in turn, you are destined to do great things".

Matthew nodded in acknowledgement. "I know. I will do whatever it is that He asks. And I will do it in his name".

"Good Man". Srtyker smiled.

Goddamn.

Good thing I only edit the roster every few months.

Double approved. :up: :up:

So, you play Ares, Wolverine, and Stryker?
 
Yes. Stryker especially is absolutely vital in my long term plans. Ares is waiting for some Avengers style action and Wolvie is with the soon-to-be-reformed X-men.
 
Word of advice, Spiderbyte. Just because Deadpool can break the fourth wall, doesn't mean he should in every single post. It works best in small doses, cleverly and discreet. Not saying that you shouldn't do it, but maybe just done it down a notch.
 
Ah, okay. I just wanted to spread the news of the 2011 Deadpool film release announcement.
 
You linked to IMDB... I wouldn't call that an announcement.
 
That's fine, and I know you're eager to play DP. I take it this is your first time dealing with RPGs, and I'm just trying to offer a little constructive criticism. Sometimes, less can be more.

Agreed.

And one last thing, I know Keyser has been cool about it for now but try not to hijack someone else's story or 'arc'. Other people might not be so thrilled to have your Deadpool appear out of nowhere with no explanation and disrupt their posts. Can cause problems.
 
What do you mean, 'hijack'?

I think he means just showing up in a storyline someone else is working on without asking first. While this is an RPG, it's an anonymous group creative writing based RPG on the internet, and it's considered polite, and ultimately the most beneficial to the story, to talk to someone about direct collaboration.


Also, I don't play in this game, I'm just butting in. It's an example of what not to do, really. :o
 
Ooooooooh.

K.

I'll lay back and watch it for a bit, i guess. Just to get more of a sense of whats going on.
 
So having just now looked into the IC thread I have this to say:

Is the Hitler thing real? Like... no ****? It's not a dream sequence?

**** me. I'm speechless.


Yes, it's real. I've had this craving to put Hitler's brain in a giant killer-robot armed with chainsaw-machine-guns for a while now, and this thread gave me the opportunity to finally do it.

Hmm, Deadpool's a martial-artist. I wonder if he has any Chi? I wonder how his soul would taste?
 
Is that last Loki-Deadpool interaction in plain sight of all the Avengers?
