Screenname: xman:blacklight

Character You Would Like To Play: Susan Storm aka the Invisible Woman

Powers: Sue can render herself wholly or partially invisible at will. She can also render other people or objects invisible, affecting up to forty thousand cubic feet of volume. She achieves these feats by mentally bending all wavelengths of light in the vicinity around herself or the target in question, and she somehow does this without causing any visible distortion effects; she also somehow directs enough undistorted light to her eyes to retain her full range of vision while invisible. Sue can also mentally generate a psionic field of invisible force apparently drawn from hyperspace, which she manipulates for a variety of effects. Most commonly, Sue generates near-indestructible invisible force fields around herself or other targets. She can vary the texture and tensile strength of her field to some extent, rendering it highly rigid or as soft and yielding as foam; softer variations on the field enable her to cushion impacts more gently, and are less likely to result in a psionic backlash against Sue herself (in rare cases, sufficiently powerful attacks on her psionic fields can cause her mental or physical pain).
Sue can shape her psionic force fields into invisible constructs, usually simple shapes such as barriers, columns, cones, cylinders, darts, discs, domes, platforms, rams, ramps, slides and spheres. By generating additional force behind her psionic constructs, Sue can turn them into offensive weapons, ranging from massive invisible battering rams to small projectiles such as spheres and darts. She can generate solid force constructs as small as a marble or as large as 100 feet in diameter, and her hollow projections such as domes can extend up to several miles in area. By forming one of her force fields within an object and expanding the field, Sue can cause her target to explode. She can also travel atop animated constructs such as ramps, stairs, slides, columns and stepping discs, enabling her to simulate a limited approximation of levitation or flight. She is capable of generating and manipulating multiple psionic force fields simultaneously.

Basic History Of The Character (Up until this point): Born Susan Storm, Sue and her brother Johnny had a happy childhood until their mother Mary died in a car crash. Their father, celebrated surgeon Doctor Franklin Storm, survived the accident without injury but was unable to save his wife despite his best medical efforts. His spirit broken, Dr. Storm abandoned his practice, becoming a gambler and a drunk, and eventually went to prison after he accidentally killed an underworld loan shark during a struggle. Sue became more like a mother than a sister to Johnny thereafter, though both were soon placed in the custody of their loving aunt Marygay. While she was still quite young, Sue became smitten with her aunt's handsome and brilliant tenant, science prodigy Reed Richards, then a university student.
The young Storms lived a relatively normal life with their aunt for several years, interrupted by the discovery of the mystical Amulet of Zarathos, which had been unearthed by local archaeologist Professor Henry Brandeis. Working together, Johnny, Sue, family friend Max Parrish and the Professor's daughter Cam managed to prevent the amulet from falling into the hands of vampire lord Dracula; during the conflict, Max used the amulet to become a demonic Ghost Rider, though Johnny helped Max prevent this transformation from becoming permanent. During her own college years, Sue began doing some minor acting and modelling work and renewed her contact with Reed, dating him steadily for some time. Reed's old friend Ben Grimm took an interest in Sue as well, though she remained loyal to Reed. When a sudden loss of funding threatened to derail Reed's experimental starship project, Reed urged his pilot, Ben, to join him in making an unauthorized test flight before the project shut down. Grimm was reluctant, but accepted the challenge after Sue questioned his courage. Sue and her brother Johnny insisted on coming along as well, wishing to share the risk. The quartet successfully launched into space, but intense cosmic rays penetrated the ship's shielding and irradiated the crew, forcing them back to Earth. On landing, they discovered they had mutated into superhumans, and Sue became the Invisible Girl. Dedicating their new powers to super-heroics and scientific exploration, the quartet became the Fantastic Four. Sue's relatively static invisibility power made her seem like a weak link in the team at first, but she soon discovered that she also had the ability to project and manipulate invisible force fields, making her a more effective combatant.

Three Reasons Why You Have Chosen That Character:

1. She has not yet to be played in a no-continuity based RPG.

2. She is the most powerful member of the Fantastic Four

3. She's HOT!!!! *sizzle*

What Do You Plan On Doing With This Character As A Person : I plan on playing her as a more outgoing and strong instead of her being withdrawn and quiet and wanting a normal life.

Two Complete Sentences In Proper English Explaining What You Can Bring To This RPG (As A Player): A kickass story of the FF. An oppurtunity to play a female in an RPG.

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

Byrd you bastage! You never approved me! Well, I'm going to pretend you did and post anyways. I'm a rebel that way. :woot:
 
Why didn't anybody tell me about this?! To be honest, I'm more of an Ultimate Marvel guy, so I love this idea. Not to say that its Ultimate...but the idea of having to follow years and years of story (like my Canuck compadre Feature has already said) is a pain in my butt, especially since I really only read Ultimate. I'm more of a casual reader than a full-on fanatic. Anyways, on that note...

Screenname: Mr. Marko

Character You Would Like To Play: Iceman

Powers: Absolute control over temperate and ice, able to generate it at will.

Basic History Of The Character (Up until this point): Having been forced out of his home when his powers erupted, Bobby Drake moved out on his own and worked at a small call center doing telephone surveys, not completing high school. He kept to himself, trying to avoid the world around him, with virtually no friends. On occasion he would bring girls in after a night on the town, but would refuse to call them again. Essentially, Bobby Drake is an a**hole who needs some serious direction in his life. X-Men anyone?!

Three Reasons Why You Have Chosen That Character:

1. There are lots of pictures of him. (What?! I like pictures!)

2. Love the X-Men.

3. He's cool. Har har har.

What Do You Plan On Doing With This Character As A Person (IE: How are you changing him or her?): I'm taking a spin on him in the fact that usually, Iceman is an insecure little kid. I want to explore what he would be like if he was more confident and wreckless.

Two Complete Sentences In Proper English Explaining What You Can Bring To This RPG (As A Player): I can really bring a new Iceman to the Dawn of Marvels. I will make you all read cool things that Iceman does. *checks and rechecks his proper English*

What Fonts Do You Plan To Use For Your Character’s Speech? (Makes the roster look better): Hey, man! I'm Cool! Times New Roman, This color

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

Bobby Drake kicked back in his easy chair, Bud in hand. It was always nice to have a cold drink. He had been out on his own for over a year. Even though he was only 17 years old, a cheap fake ID had been getting him into bars and liquor stores for over a year now.

Suddenly, the phone rang. He'd let it ring, just to see what they had to say.

Soon, the answering machine picked it up. "Hey, Bobby. Its me, Kaci. I've been trying to get ahold of you for a couple of days now, and I havn't been able to reach you! Are you on vacation or something?"

Bobby chuckled to himself. Kaci. She wasn't the best he'd ever had, but she was one of the most forward. And stupid. She was way too easy to play. No challenge.

That really was what Bobby was missing now-a-days. A challenge. His job was lame, the people around him were lame, and to be honest, he would rather sit and watch MTV than hang around with the rest of the people his age, aka a bunch of senior year twits.

"You know, Bobby, I thought we really had something. You know, like a connection. I guess I was wrong."
The answering machine beeped, indicating the message had been saved.

"Yeah, well ya know what, babe?"
He crumpled his beer can and threw it at the phone. "You were a bad lay!"

You're approved, Marko. :up:

And blacklight, you'll need a sample post for Susan.
 
Not that I know of.

Hey, first Iceman post up. Just a little history on why DoM Iceman is such a baddie. What do you guys think? BTW, who is playing Psylocke? I heard she was on the X-Men.
 
No one is playing Psylocke but she is on the team.

Here is the team so far:
Wolverine
Jean
Cyclops
Iceman
Chamber
Psylocke

And, Marvels Finest, like Byrd said, the X-Men are a long way off from doing any missions.
 
Exactly how rich is Tony Stark in this btw?

I think he'll be the perfect target for an anti-capitalist and egalitarian attack....
 
Hey if SHIELD was planning on finding Captain America, now would be a great time. let me know!

He's rich.....rich. I mean rich. I'm talking Bill Gates rich, the richest man under the age of 50.

Well, S.H.I.E.L.D. hasn't officially formed yet. I'm still working on some basic back story to give us some key points and moments in Fury's history and what drives him to create this world wide peace keeping organization. I still have a more key points to build on, two or three, before he brings the groundwork for S.H.I.E.L.D. to the U.N. shouldn't take me more than a day or two though, if you don't mind waiting.
 
By the way, what does everyone think of Daredevil and Fury thus far. I know I don't have a lot done with them, but in the next few posts for each, I'll have some very big character points laid out for each.
