Screenname: Marvels Finest

Character You Would Like To Play: Jon Starsmore/Chamber

Powers: Chamber is a mutant who is naturally composed of pure psionic energy. In truth is physical body is just a shell for what he truly is. The initial emergence of his powers blew a hole in his chest and lower face, completely incinerating most of his internal organs. Because of this, Chamber no longer needs to eat, drink, or breathe. Oddly enough, Chamber's blood does continue to flow through his extremities, as if propelled by a churning engine of psionic flame itself. However, he is sustained solely by the psionic flame that rages within his body. If it were somehow snuffed out, he would most likely die. But then, he might argue that he's already died once, and came back, so his reaction to a disruption of his mutant abilities may still be unclear. As his flames are actually psionic in nature, and do not rely on some form of fuel to continue to burn, they do not seem to be affected by conditions that would be adverse to actual flame.

Basic History Of The Character (Up until this point): Jonothon Starsmore and his girlfriend Gayle Edgerton were at a London nightclub when his mutant ability erupted in an explosion of psionic energy. The blast tore a hole in his body from his mouth to his navel, destroying several of his major internal organs including his heart and lungs, and also crippled Gayle’s legs. Jono survived the manifestation, though his body had been transformed into a “chamber” of volatile energy. Horrified, Jono fled, and went into hiding in the sewers of London. It was then that he was contacted by Charles Xavier via projected telepathy, which actually startled Jonothan at first, for he did not know of this newfound ability. Charles explained to him that he provided a safe haven for people like himself, and that he could help him control his powers. So Starsmore prepared for his voyage to the states, hoping to find the safehouse he'd been looking for.

Three Reasons Why You Have Chosen That Character:

1. He's my favorite Marvel character of all time.

2. He can still get tang, even without a lower jaw.

3. I miss playing him, and I don't know why I didn't think of him before.

What Do You Plan On Doing With This Character As A Person (IE: How are you changing him or her?): I plan on having Jonothan manifest better control over his powers, (over time, of course), as well as giving him a slightly more social personality. I also want to explore the potential of his powers--how much damage he really can do.

Two Complete Sentences In Proper English Explaining What You Can Bring To This RPG (As A Player): I can bring frequent, descriptive posts. I can also bring a positive attitude towards this game. :woot:

What Fonts Do You Plan To Use For Your Character’s Speech? (Makes the roster look better): Verdana,2,Bold

Please Provide A Small Sample Post In The Format You Wish To Portray Your Character In:


They think I'm a bloody terrorist!, Jonothan Starsmore thought to himself, now standing within the shadows of an alley. He crouched lower, not wanting the blue and red lights of London's finest to reveal him. It had been a horrible night for Jono. One minute, he was having dinner with his beautiful girlfriend, Gayle, the next minute his lower torso and jaw exploded with a flash of light. He didn't even know what happened to Gayle...he had to flee the scene. The people in the restaraunt, and the cops, they all thought he had set off a bomb of some sort. They chased him into the sewers.

Those hands enclosed within fingerless gloves held that scarf that hid his lower jaw. The furnace of psionic energy flashed slightly beneath the wrappings, streams of it flickering and dancing out into the darkness around him, illuminating his presence. Bollocks! A man walking down the street noticed him, stepping closer to the alley.

"'ey! Aren't you the ruddy git the police're afta'?"

Jon gave no response, the look of nervousness coming across his face as he stepped back a few feet.

"Yeah! You are! I saw you on the telly! 'EY OFFICERS, I FOUND HIM!"

Apparently two officers were patrolling the street above him, who then radioed for help.The man stepped closer into the alleyway, looking at Jono while the sound of sirens drew nearer. This was too much...he couldn't take it! Oh ruddy hell.

~"STAY BACK!"~

His voice screamed loudly into the man's mind, through the use of telepathy. It startled the man of course, for his voice carried an echoing tone, which seemed to bounce around in your head, oddly enough. The man drew nearer, along with five policemen behind him. Jon's torso and chest began to flare up violently, the wrappings becoming loose.

~"AHHHHHHHHH!"~

The blast was catastrophic, sending streams of psionic energy in all directions, destroying the brick on each side of the alley, and connecting with all six of his adversaries, sending them flying high into the air. It looked like a bloody trapese act. The old man who tattled on Jonothan had now landed on top of a lamp post, groaning like an old dog. The rest of the cops were either eating pavement or had crashed into the windows of a nearby apartment duplex. Jono had of course made his exit from the area, creeping through a maze of alleyways before reaching an old warehouse where he would remain until hearing further instructions from Xavier.



Do You Know How To Post Pictures On The Hype?: Aye. See above.

Never heard of him before, oddly, but approved anyway. :up:
 
Pure old school english stereotype with the police there, lol.

Anyhow, I'll do my app for mandarin soon, hell I'll get to beat byrd's ass so it's on!
 
First Iron Fist post up. I need to shrink that banner, but I'll handle that later.
 
Okay guys, my first Ghost Rider post is up.
I would REALLY like to know what you guys thought. Especially Byrd. Not just because you're my bro, but because I am playing Johnny and his family EXTREMELY southern, and you're the expert when it comes to that. :cwink:
 
I personally thought it was great. Really emotional. Also liked the reference to the penance stare. Well played. :up:

It kinda reminds me of the beginning of the movie, which I was a really big fan of, except your Johnny isn't a kid. I think it was cool how you did that. I like this no continuity stuff.

Yeah me too. I think that's why I sort of gravitate towards the Ultimate RPG more. You are kind of free to do anything you like, whereas in other games you've got to contend with years of stories and many season of others' work. That has its appeal too however, as it creates a sort of challenge... maybe this means I'm just a lazy sod... :csad:

Anyways, thanks alot for the kind words guys! :woot: I think our game here is really going to be fantastic. We've got some really good ideas and some really telented RPers.

By the way... I'm still waiting for your comments, Fonz.
 
Wow. I think that was longest you've gone without a post involving domestic violence. Glad the drought is over! :up:
 
I got it, both of them. I just got home, man. I been gone all day covering boring ass meetings. But, I'll get on it ASAP.
 
Oh, alright man. I was just makin' sure, because they've messed up before. No rush, or anything.

:woot:
 
My Mandarin app is nearly done, it's got like a page of back story, sorry guys:(
 
"Ass meeting you say....."

A domestic violence laden post from Byrd just wouldn't feel right if it wasn't followed by a homo-erotic post from Cy.

All is right with the world. :word:
