'DAWN OF MARVELS' RPG Application

Screenname: Eddie Brock Jr.

Character You Would Like To Play: Peter Parker, the Amazing Spider-Man

Powers: Peter possesses all the strength, speed, and agility of a spider. Peter can fire organic webs from his wrists. Additionally, he can stick to (and thus climb on) walls. Oh, and he has a "Spider-Sense" which warns him of immediate danger.

Basic History Of The Character (Up until this point):
Master Bruce said:
A student of Empire State University with the highest honors in the scientific field from High School, the 19 year old Peter Parker's dreams of becoming a renowned and famous inventor seemed to be a sure thing when Peter's friend Harry Osborn managed to talk his father into reserving a spot for him. But when the company went to near bankruptcy and the spot had to be dropped, Peter found himself desperate for money, as he had hoped to help his Uncle Ben and Aunt May pay off their debts for all of the years they had spent raising him. Looking to get a part time job with Doctor Curt Conner's physicianary firm, Peter was accidentally bitten on the hand by a lab spider that had escaped the facility's testing grounds.

At first, the spider's effects seemed minimal, as Conners himself checked Peter's blood after the incident. Going home, citing that he didn't feel well as a result of the stress, Peter's body went through a dramatic change overnight, as the spider venom proceeded to bond with his DNA. By the time Peter woke up, he was both shocked and amazed to find that he was clung to his bedroom ceiling. Realising that his physique had also improved, Peter began to discover other strange abilities, as he accidentally shot out what appeared to be a web during a job interview that, needless to say, didn't turn out well. But as Peter began to realise he had become superpowerful, he began to get cocky, showing off and using his powers for his own gain to both humiliate a college rival named Eugene "Flash" Thompson, and impress the former cheerleader captain and the love of Peter's life, Gwen Stacy.

Entering a stunt show at the Liberty Island fair, donned in a mask and bug-like goggles, Peter amazed the crowd with his abilities. Impressing a producer for MTV, Peter was finally offered a true job when he agreed to appear in his own reality show. But realising that his identity couldn't be exposed, for fear that his life would become extremely complicated, Peter crafted a homemade costume to hide his identity and add to his gimmick, dubbing himself "Arachnoid", a name that would later be ditched upon realising it was too corny.

Arriving on set to shoot the pilot of his show, Peter witnessed a robbery take place at the ticket booth. But already in a hurry, and citing that he had more important things to worry about, Peter simply let the thug run past him as he entered the studio.

With his first taping a true success, as a live audience was capitivated by the stunts Peter had displayed, Peter went to stop for some coffee before heading home. It was at the local coffee shop that Peter approached a crime scene, as the owner had been brutally shot down and murdered. Realising, horrifically, that it was none other than his Uncle Ben before he could truly confirm it, Peter demanded to know where the murderer was. Being told he had fleed to hide in Brooklyn, Peter dashed across the city and changed into his costume.

Confronting the murderer as he took hostages to try and escape, the gunman was caught off guard and defeated by an enraged Peter, who proceeded to attempt to kill him. But when Peter got a look at his face, he was shocked to learn that the murderer was none other than the same man that he had let rob the ticket booth. Turning the murderer over to the police, that night, Peter Parker learned a powerful lesson that would haunt him for years to come: With Great Power, Comes Great Responsibility.

Taking this notion to heart, and realising he could no longer let himself be selfish, Peter used the costume and abilities to help other people, taking on criminals and lower level street gangs, and easily subduing them for the police. This managed to catch the attention of a suffering tabloid, The Daily Bugle, who proceeded to flame Peter's alter-ego for being a freak, and perhaps even a mutant, a race of which had threatened humankind with a war declaration led by Magneto. Dubbed "The Unamusing Spider-Man" by the tabloid's readers, and columnist Edward Brock, Peter realised that being a hero came with a price, as he continues using his powers and abilities to carry on his responsibility as The Spectacular Spider-Man.

Three Reasons Why You Have Chosen That Character:
(Is this really necessary for a character like Spider-Man? :oldrazz:)

1. Spider-Man is my favorite comic character, hands down, bar none.

2. If I didn't pick him up now, someone else would! :wow:

3. You guys need posting, correct?

What Do You Plan On Doing With This Character As A Person (IE: How are you changing him or her?): MB wanted an ever-so-slightly darker Spider-Man, so that's what we'll get. I also plan on showing a much more confident Spider-Man, who isn't afraid to face anyone or anything.

Two Complete Sentences In Proper English Explaining What You Can Bring To This RPG (As A Player): I'm excited to NPC such an expansive, colorful supporting cast - something I haven't completely experienced before. And I think that will translate into my posts.

What Fonts Do You Plan To Use For Your Character’s Speech? (Makes the roster look better): Red Comic Sans - Peter ; Bold Red Comic Sans - Spider-Man

Please Provide A Small Sample Post In The Format You Wish To Portray Your Character In: I'll complete this once I've gotten in touch with MB.

Do You Know How To Post Pictures On The Hype?:

I don't have aim or yahoo. Just PM me if youve got the time.
 
Wow. It took me 20 posts but Johnny Blaze is finally Ghost Rider. Oddly enough, that means my arc is about to end. And since no one plays in this RPG anymore, that means I'll soon be dropping him and leaving this game to die.

Oh well...

Damned good arc though.

Many thank you's. :woot: I really liked writing it and thought it would have been a shame to leave it unfinished. Who knows... maybe this RPG will suddenly pick up and I'll be able to play as Ghost Rider for many seasons to come!

Right?

...

:csad:
 
I have to admit, it was definetly a great arc, I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. :up:
 
I'm going to keep posting as Spider-Man until I'm the only poster left.

And then I'll probably just kill myself.

...

Or drop the RPG. Whatever.

:csad:
 
Well, it's not neccessarily over. I'm just getting tired of trying to keep it alive. I'll be around for a bit to finish up the initial arcs I began for GR and Wolvie... then we'll see...
 
Sorry guys, but that's the end of my Wolverine. GR will be finished up soon... then this game will pretty much be over.
 
Ok...is there anyone big that hasnt been used yet? Or has been dropped?
 
Ah...not worth the effort of putting an app forwards really is it?
 
Hmm...okay...how would a big arc with anybody left playing in sound?
