The Brand New And Improved "Heroes vs. Villains: Marvel" RPG OOC/Sign-Up Thread

[Keyser Soze]

That's a Captain America post up now. Thank you for your patience, SM9X17, and sorry for keeping you waiting so long.

 

[JewishHobbit]

So what's been going on in here? I've not been around since I had to drop out after my Lifeguard stuff... the X-Men and Green Goblin vs Red Skull.

What's going on in the story?

 

[MichaelChen]

The Mandarin kidnapped a bunch of Chi channeling martial artists and ate their souls to counter the effect of self-cannibalism and Extremis infection that occured in his last Iron Man story. Basically set-up-stuff.

Apocalypse tried to invade New York with an army of symbiotes, but was eventually defeated by the Avengers, the newly-debuted Iron Patriot, and a few others I think. That's the biggest thing that's happened recently. Oh, and Cap had to retire and hand his role over to Bucky.

Currently, the Avengers are out looking for the nine Norn Stones of Asgard, Sabretooth is still having a mob war with Kingpin, and the Iron Patriot is covertly rounding up supervillains for SHIELD (after Norman cleared his name by resurrecting and then framing Harry as the Goblin)

2nd character time for me.

MARVEL RPG SEASON VII Application

Screen Name: Byrd Man

Character you would like to play: Daredevil

Powers: Superhuman senses, radar sense, excellent martial artist and athlete in peak human physical condition.

Three reasons why you have chosen that character:

1. Daredevil is one of my favorite Marvel characters

2. I've been reading Bendis and Brubaker's runs on the character over the past week, and I want to impliment some of the things they did and have some fun with him.

3. I like blind people, but seriously. I had fun writing Matt in the unique first-person perspective last time I played him and I want to do it again.

Write two complete sentences using proper English grammar explaining what you think you can bring to the RPG: Decent RPer who likes to write and portray Daredevil.

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

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 can smell the ion in the air as lightning crashes all over Hell's Kitchen. One of those summer storms that dissapear as quickly as they show up. I forget about the rain pelting my body and listen.

"What do you say we get outta here?"

Even through the rainfall and techno beats of the nightclub, I can hear his voice. Kid's name is Richie Jenks. From what Mario told me about him, he's a rich kid who gets a jolly out of hanging with poor kids. I've never meet him, but Mario told me plenty about him, even let me listen to a so-called "rap album" they recorded. Mario said he was the one who pinned the robbery on everybody else, his parents pretty much paid his way out of jail.

"Your place or mine?"

He's laying it on thick to the girl he's trying to pick up. I stay poised as they walk out the club and into the stormy night. The car comes to life and purrs, it's a foreign job from the way the engine reeves. Probably a suped up japanese car. The smoke pouring from the cars exhaust stings my nose as the car leaves the club parking lot.

I shoot a line out my billy club and swing away, following the car as close as I can.

********

​

I can hear Richie's heart beating out of his chest as he walks into the dark bathroom of his apartment.

"I'll be there in a minute girl, I just need to find some protection."

The lightswitch makes a click as he moves it to the on position. I feel the light's heat hit my skin.

"Jesus!"

His heart races as he sees me staring back at him in the bathroom mirror.

"You're way off."

The breath leaves his mouth as I wrap my arm around his neck. I toss my billy club up, the heat leaves the room as the lightbulb breaks.

"Mario Rodriguez was your friend. You set him up for something he didn't do."

"Gaa!"

He struggles to speak as his heart approaches near heart attack speed.

"You're going to confess to robbing that liquor store. You're going to tell the truth, Mario didn't have anything to do with it. You want to know why you're going to do that?"

"Acck!!"

I tighten my hold on Richie's throat and I push him towards the sink.

"You can never escape me. Bullets don't harm me, nothing harms me. But I do know pain. And sometimes I like to share it....especially with someone like you."


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

 

[bkhedr]

So do you even need approvage?

 

[Byrd Man]

Even GMs gotta follow the rules, my brotha.

 

[Spider-Man9X17]

So, anyone wanna tangle with Cap, give me a point to jump in with him?

 

[MichaelChen]

Well, I am in the process of resurrecting Cap's ultimate enemy, Hitler himself, but he's not quite ready yet. Should have him up and about shortly.

 

[bkhedr]

DD is approved.

Spidey, dude, remember the random events I talked about?

Gimme till tomorrow morning and I'll give ya something to fight.

 

[Byrd Man]

If Hitler and random events are enough for Bucky, you could have him join in with Spidey and H4H.

 

[bkhedr]

Hitler and random events would have been enough for Steve Rogers....

 

[MichaelChen]

And done. Hilter's brain is now in a giant killer robot armed with chainsaw-machine-guns. Have fun! t:

That....that may be the most balls-out-awesome-insane sentence I've read in quite a while.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Sorry I haven't been around guys. I've been buried under other commitments.

In case it wasn't obvious before, I've dropped Steve Rogers. Bucky Barnes is our Captain America for now.

I do, however, intend to get back on the ball with Loki. That's the character I'll be solely focusing on in Marvel for now. I'll try and do some catch-up tomorrow.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Crap it. Last night I spent a lengthy amount of time writing up a Loki post that got me caught up on everything and back into the game. But when I went to post it, my internet died. I tried until past 3am to get it working again to post it, but it wasn't happening, so I had to leave it. I come on this morning, the internet's working again, but other's have posted and moved the story on in a different direction than the one my post would have taken it. I'll have to go see if any of my post is salvageable.

 

[Watchman]

You really think it's going to be that easy?

Dr. Doom takes the stone and leaves. What fun is that?

I was actually thinking Dr. Doom takes the stone.... then tries to kill us all anyway.

 

[bkhedr]

Hitler in New York? Singing Frank Sinatra tunes?

Methinks Bucky has far better things to do then worry about the silly little robbery I set up :P

 

[Watchman]

I was actually thinking Dr. Doom takes the stone.... then tries to kill us all anyway.

With gusto...and a giant robot.

 

[bkhedr]

Watchman, dude, your Doom is a bad ass.

 

[Watchman]

Watchman, dude, your Doom is a bad ass.

Thanks t:

 

[MichaelChen]

I haven't figured out a way to fit in a precise description of the Hitlerbot in the actual story that flows smoothly, so I'll describe it here where there is no need for pretty prose.

The Hitlerbot looks kind of like Mysterio, with eyes on its shoulders and a glass bowl for a head. However, the bowl has Hitler's brain visible in it and is only a little bigger than a human head, despite being on a body the size of a large building.

Also, the colors of the robot are red and gold, much like Iron Man, as the robot is made mostly of stolen Starktech, albeit older designs and using cheaper metals.

The forearms are massive Gatling guns.

 

[MichaelChen]

Okay, I have kidnapped and ultimately murdered five people with tremendous talent at martial arts, especially mystic Chi channeling martial arts. This should be noticed by those people who have interest in such things, like Iron Fist.

Those victims include a member of the Hand, and someone working for Stark Enterprises, which should also make a few people curious.

I have unleashed a giant killer-robot piloted by Hitler's brain on New York. Said robot contains stolen Starktech.

I have driven Hydra out of Afghanistan and am now using that territory to bring massive amounts of cheap, pure heroin into New York.

If anyone would care to react to any of this, I would be pleased.

 

[bkhedr]

Just FYI. I won't be posting for the next 48 hours or so because of work demands on my time. Expect Thor and Sabretooth posts by Monday.
