The "Dawn Of Marvels" RPG Signup/OOC Thread

People keep thinking that the X-Men's first mission is to go pick up Beast in London, or Chamber and Beast in London, because I originally reserved McCoy. But then I dropped him. I thought I had made it clear, but apparently not, hence the rather eye-catching post.
 
But...NVM. I barely pay attention in the OOC anyway.
 
...Well, Finest, it was clear from the beginning to me. Anyways, I'm going to make a quick post as Iceman too, just to develop that a bit.
 
Not ready yet. Give me two more posts and then I should be good. I am kinda of busy right now though. I have tech rehearsals and shows all week so please bare with me.
 
I'm considering a hulk villain btw for my second character.
sweet, but expect too much hulk interaction, hes gonna be busy with steve and a certain quest to find a certain patient zero.
 
Screenname: Red Leader

Character You Would Like To Play: Gambit

Powers: Telekinesis, slight pyrokinesis.

Basic History Of The Character (Up until this point): When Gambit was born, before he even left the operating room, his telekinetic power was strong. He was too young to control it, and he killed his father accidentally with a syringe. He was raised in a foster home for the rest of his childhood. His new mother was a heavy drinker. His new father, a gambling addict. The neighborhood was also unfavorable. Rebellious, he would consistently beat the neighbors' children, and steal from their houses. At 15, he was in complete control of his powers. At 17, he fashioned a costume out of their old clothes, and left home secretly, hating his new parents and seeking acceptance. He has since found it-- In the local Louisiana Thieves Guild.

Three Reasons Why You Have Chosen That Character:

1. Gambit has always been a favorite hero of mine, in and out of the X-Men.

2. He was the first guy that came to mind, as far as thinking about possibilities.

3. I was kind of afraid to pick Thor because it looked like he would be too epic for the situation. Okay, bad phrasing. But I wanted to make it strictly earthly.

What Do You Plan On Doing With This Character As A Person (IE: How are you changing him or her?): I thought I'd mix up his life story slightly, and also, at least initially, see how he'd make it on his own.

Two Complete Sentences In Proper English Explaining What You Can Bring To This RPG (As A Player): I cannot say now for sure, how long integration with other characters will, take, but first speeding that process up will be my priority. But after that, I plan on bringing to the story a slight abrasiveness that the character isn't complete without, and I'll bring interactions that will make others think.

What Fonts Do You Plan To Use For Your Character’s Speech? (Makes the roster look better): This is Gambit, Bold and Purple.

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

I was sloppier than usual this time. Running didn't even work. And it's too tight a spot for card tricks. I almost make it into the dim Jazz bar before the big lug I just stole from pushes me down. He makes me cough up dust from the dirty-ass hardwood floor. I rotate and look back up at the brute in front of me. He thinks he looks intimidating. It won't get him his wallet back. I tell this big dumb oaf what's coming.

"It's not your money anymore. I need it more than you do. Now get out of here, before I stain your shirt with your own blood."

I pick myself up and dust my jacket off, and then he charges. Literally, he charges at me like a Rhino. I'll admit, the move caught me off guard. I landed on a barstool, and thought it broke my fall, 'til it tipped over. Okay, screw risk. I don't wanna kill him anyway. But these people don't know, and more importantly don't need to know, that I'm a mutant. I pick up a leg from the newly broken barstool, and pretend to swing it, but my mind is what really throws it at him. He gets knocked out cold. I laugh, because it looks like it's all too common for the bartender.

What the...

Okay, first, don't you have to have 50 posts or a really good sample post? Two sentences isn't a sample post. Second, you only gave two reasons. I'm not a GM...but...

Anyways, got another Reed post up. I might get another Iceman post up if people aren't ready in time. Just something with Psylocke some more. I'm assuming that Cyclops and Jean are actually at the mansion already and just not caught up on their back stories, so I'll leave that be. I might just have some sort of training exercise with the two before the mission.
 

Wasn't two sentences, but either way, the form said SMALL sample, so that's what I gave. I see now, though, that I did indeed only give two reasons. That was a grave error on my part and I think I might edit it to include the planned third reason. I also fail to see what post count has to do with anything. Forum RPGs are all too common to deserve such skepticism. If you want length, you can check the origin. It's not a novella because the form specified that the origin story be basic.
 
Dude, not to be a prick but your sample post has to be more than a few sentences. Ya know at least a paragraph.

But I do agree with you on post I was in most of my RPG's before I had 50 post.

Also welcome to the HYPE Red Leader. =]]
 
words... ..."not to be a prick"

Not at all... I guess, looking at the post, I barely demonstrated how I really type. If nobody minds, I'll just edit the profile.

Also, thanks, I hope to have fun here.
 
Yeah, sorry, rereading my post I was a prick too. I just want to make sure that you present yourself in a way that people realize your potential immediately. That's all. Welcome.
 
I edited it to make it more enjoyable, less brief. Sorry, Marko, and Jinn. But, hey, at least I've got that whole "abrasive" thing down pat, eh?
 
Kaboom, you mentioned hulk was the result of the gamma project, mind if I PM you some idea's about the project as a whole, and it's future etc?

For the idea of my 2nd character.

sorry the gamma project is actually someone else's baby. Ive been discussing it with them behind the scenes.
 
Okies, my thoughts was that further projects could spawn abomination and leader, one keping the intelligence and gaining strength, the last one increasing intelligene instead.

But if someone else is handling it, then I'll back off, there's plenty to explore here :)
 
'DAWN OF MARVELS' RPG Application

Screenname: spideyssuperfan

Character You Would Like To Play: Flint Marko AKA Sandman

Powers: The Sandman has the ability to transform into a malleable sand-like substance which can be hardened, dispersed, or shaped according to his will, something akin to a type of geokinesis limited to sand and small rock particles. Even if his body is blown apart, he is capable of reforming it. His striped shirt and cargo pants are both a part of his mass sand-like body.

Basic History Of The Character (Up until this point): The Sandman has been alive for decades. He volunteered for a radiological experiment in the 1930's that granted him his abilities. At first, Sandman set his sights on the easy prices: low-level bank robberies and muggings. Soon, though, he learned how to use his power for bigger benefits. Using his considerable wealth, Sandman became an influential member of the 1920's mafia. After a decade in the mob, Sandman had annoyed many other members of rival families. Seemingly being 'whacked' Sandman went into hiding, waiting for all the members of the original gangs to be imprisoned or die.

Three Reasons Why You Have Chosen That Character:

1. Sandman? He's a fun character.

2. I look forward to playing as a character who can do anything he wants.

3. I think that having a classier Flint Marko is an interesting twist.

What Do You Plan On Doing With This Character As A Person (IE: How are you changing him or her?): He's not a petty crook, he's involved in the mob and will be a character who acts behind the scenes.

Two Complete Sentences In Proper English Explaining What You Can Bring To This RPG (As A Player): I can bring a Sandman who will be involved with multiple characters. Spider-Man and Daredevil alike will want to bring down this returned mobster.

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

The man was sat in the waiting room of the office building.

His hands, drenched with sweat, held a single manila envelope.

He heard a faint bell ring and he stood up.

He walked towards a massive, oak door and eased it open.

"Uh... Sir?" The man said quietly.

"Have a seat, son."
The man behind the desk said.

Rain poured onto the glass and an occasional lightning bolt was the only thing that would illuminate the room.

The man slid the envelope across the table.

"These are the pictures you asked for, sir."

The man across the table took the envelope in his hand and opened it.

"You took these?" He asked.

"Y-yes, sir." The man replied.

"You know we needed specific shots, right?" He asked.

"Yes, Mr. Marko, but these shots are just as go-" The man attempted to reply, but was cut off with a flick of Flint Marko's wrist.

"We don't have those shots, do we?" Marko asked.

"No, sir." The man said.

"So you failed?" Marko asked.

A shot of lightning struck through the New York sky.

"Yes, sir, I did. Please... don't punish me, Mr. Marko." The man pleaded.

"I'm not going to punish you, my friend." The mobster said, leaning into the light, "That's what those men outside the door are."

Everything looks good so.... Red and SSF.

"APPROVED!"
 
Cool. I like it. Sandman, the Mafia boss. Very cool.

Hey, X-Men, get posting! You're killin' me! Byrd!! Aren't you Cyclops?! Get your rear in gear! Everyone else too! GAGH!
 
I'm working on it. I'll get something sometime tommorow. Nothing major just Cyke at the mansion.
 
Made a post as Gambit, I hope everyone likes it. 'Tis my first post on a HYPE RPG.
 
Hey Red, just so you know, the school is still in its very early stages and only has a handful of students. Cyke, Jean, Iceman, Psylocke, Wolverine, and soon to be Chamber. With Gambit, that's all the students in the mansion. I'll make a post so we have some interaction going on here. Also, Xavier's school is still very under the radar and secret. Just a few facts to keep continuity going.
 
I'm fleshing out an app and backstory for Juggernaught, the oppertunity to play him without him being a ***** mutant or a really depowered waste of time is pretty high, also would give the more powerful heroes, like HULK for example, someone who can actually go toe to toe with them.
