Character you would like to play (please include the color and font you plan on using to portray the character): Natasha Romanoff (formerly Natalia Romanova) AKA Black Widow

Powers and Brief Origin (provide at least two sentences):
Born circa 1928, Natalia "Natasha" Romanova was apparently orphaned as a child when she was trapped in a burning building during an early attack on Stalingrad by enemy forces. Ivan Petrovitch Bezukhov, a Soviet soldier, found Natasha in the inferno and rescued her. Although Ivan kept a close eye on Natasha as she grew, by the late 1930s she had attracted the attention of Soviet intelligence, which began her training. In 1941, she was almost brainwashed into serving the ninja clan the Hand, but was saved by Ivan, Logan (James Howlett, later Wolverine) and Captain America. Following World War II, Natasha was recruited to become part of the Black Widow Program, a team of elite female sleeper agents. Among the Widow’s instructors was the Winter Soldier, formerly Captain America’s sidekick Bucky (James Barnes); Natasha studied as a ballerina to cover for her true occupation. The Soviet state eventually arranged for Natasha to marry Alexi Shostakov, a champion test pilot. After a few years of a happy marriage, the KGB faked Shostakov’s death in a rocket test; grief for Shostakov drove Natasha’s resolve deeper and she continued her education with the Red Room Academy, finally being appointed the title of the Black Widow.

Group your character is aligned with (if applicable): Hero

Write two complete sentences using proper English grammar. One to explain what you plan to do with the character you've chosen. The other to explain why you've chosen this character. (i.e. What are your goals? Will you be doing anything different with the character than is usually seen?): I have chosen this character because she is a bad-ass chick who's not afraid to get dirty when it comes to fighting. I plan to have less Black Widow and more Natasha, making Natasha have a more backseat role in finding Silver Sable, hiring various mercenaries.

Please provide a small sample post with original content in the style that you plan to write your character in (must be at least 3 paragraphs long and contain at least one line of dialogue):

Natasha Romanoff stood in the dark lit room, wearing a leather biker jacket and thin black vest. This was accompanied by dark denim tight jeans, with high black boots stretching to the knee. Her bold red hair stood out in the darkness, as well as her cherry red lips. In front of her, stood Neena Thurman AKA Domino. Domino was suited up in her usual costume, a large gun loosely gripped in her right hand, which was covered by a tight leather glove. "Neena Thurman. If I recall, you are doing this for free, yes?"

Domino sighed, cracking a gentle smirk. She gently arched her head up, almost looking down on Natasha. Natasha slowly turned her self around, walking over to the large computer, in front of her a large computer screen. Her sharp heels echoed throughout the cold, empty, dark room. She began typing with her blood red nails, the sound of the keys being pressed down were memorized into Domino's head. The screen then fuzzed, making a crippling noise. Within a few moments, the image of Elektra appeared up on the screen. Millions of files surrounded the image. Above the image, was the logo of SHIELD. Domino slowly opened her mouth, releasing a soft chuckle.

"You want me to get this b*tch?" Domino questioned. Natasha pursued her lips and nodded.

"Yes. But there's no rush, Neena. I want you to find her, then bring her back to me. Do not do anything else without me."

Natasha emphasized on her last sentence. Domino walked over to her, loading her gun slowly. "Two things. One - Don't call me Neena. Ever. And Two - What about SHIELD and all that fuss with Contessa and Maria Hill?"

Natasha snatched the gun and held it, carefully scanning it. She slowly raised it into an aiming position, carefully looking into the aim. She smirked and pressed down on the trigger, a bullet flying out and hitting the far metal wall at the other end of the room. The sound of the bullet echoed, ringing in Natasha and Domino's ears. "For now, we don't worry about them."

Screen Name: J'adore

Character you would like to play (please include the color and font you plan on using to portray the character): Maria Hill

Powers and Brief Origin (provide at least two sentences): Skilled athlete and martial artist,
Trained in espionage, weaponry, and computers.

Born in Chicago to a father who never failed to make his resentment of her survival and her mother's death in childbirth clear to her, upon reaching adulthood Hill first joins the United States armed forces, and later becomes an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. Hill has a brief stint in Madripoor that gets her noticed by various heads of state and government around the world.
After the scandalous affair of the Secret War and its disastrous effect on New York City, S.H.I.E.L.D. director Nick Fury goes into hiding. Maria Hill, viewed by the leaders of several nations as being both an efficient agent and, more importantly in their eyes, not directly loyal to Fury or any of his personal cadre, is appointed interim Executive Director. For a time, a Life Model Decoy of Fury is regularly used in public to maintain an illusion of normalcy within the Directorate's ranks. Hill is expected to be loyal to United States interests before those of the United Nations, which S.H.I.E.L.D. is supposed to serve before any other country. After she is named Director, Maria is confronted by Nick Fury one night. He warns her that if she evers sees anything suspicious to use an LMD, referencing the coming Secret Invasion. He also warns her that if she does anything that he feels is wrong, then he will kill her.

(i.e. What are your goals? Will you be doing anything different with the character than is usually seen?): I have chosen this character because she is an independent woman who's not afraid to take action at any cost of the 'greater good'. I plan to make changes to Maria Hill, as now Norman Osborne runs SHIELD. Not only will she be on the tail of Natasha (along side Contessa Valentina) but she will also have time adjusting to Norman's reign, her sense of good and evil becoming warped.

With a long pause, Maria Hill let out a gentle sigh. "If this doesn't work, then we're all going to hell,"

Contessa Valentina Allegra de la Fontaine smirked slightly, twirling her gun around her fingers. She paced herself backwards and forwards. Maria pursued her lips, playing around with her pistol, aiming it and pretending to fire. Behind her, stood a large computer, with the image of Norman Osborne on it. "I know Ms Hill. Believe me. As long as we make Silver's death public by the end of the month, Natasha can't touch The Hand,"

"What about getting past Norman? You and I both know that no one is safe round here anymore. I might get fired tomorrow, next week or even in a couple of hours,"

Maria tightened her belt, sliding her pistol back into one of her pouches. A few SHIELD agents pondered around the room, files closely held in their hands. These six SHIELD agents were all under the current supervision of Contessa and Maria, a special sector, doing a low-down mission on recovering Silver, before Natasha can. Contessa slid out her phone, punching in a few numbers. She twirled her hair whilst the phone rang.

"First, we make a call to Ms Amy Chen. I'm sure she'll be more than pleased to supply us with back-up,"

Maria rolled her eyes, walking out of the room and into the dim lit offices of SHIELD. She looked around, taking in some air, she began walking straight. She started thinking about the soon to come changes of Osborne. What will be next? Can he be trusted? Maria then flattened her expression. She should not question anything. Just focus on her duty to SHIELD and how it shall be fulfilled.

"And so it begins..."

Maria Hill is currently comatose. She was knocked out on an attack on the helicarrier. If you want to start it out by having her wake up from said coma, then I'll approve you.

Character you would like to play (please include the color and font you plan on using to portray the character): DEADPOOL!!!!!!

Powers and Brief Origin (provide at least two sentences): Some weapon X crap... to be fair the guy can't even fully recall it himself. Power wise, he's got the ol' healing factor and he's "super" good at fightin' n' stuff.

(i.e. What are your goals? Will you be doing anything different with the character than is usually seen?): I feel like I've kind of matured as a writer ever since giving Deadpool a stab last time, so to think I can offer a new take on a character I was beginning to feel like I was running into the ground.

My name is Wade Wilson, and I'm a bad guy.

"Everyone, I have... a bomb!"

Well, I'm not "evil" bad.

"OH MY GOD!" "ARRRGH!"

It's not like I'm Dr. Doom, I don't want your eternal soul, I have no idea what I'd even do with that.

"Let's just stay calm and I probably won't kill you."

And I definitely don't wanna destroy the world. Who would there be to annoy?

"No promises though."

I just get a kick out of being a bit of a dick. Rhyme unintentional.

"Please... I have a son!"

That, and the fact that being a bad guy pays through the nose. All the way up the nose in fact, and into the brain. Actually I think a quater got stuck up there once and made me the guy I am.

"I have a son and a wife!"

The New York train system. It's like... well you saw Spider-man 2 right? You're reading this, of course you saw Spider-man 2. Well it's like exactly that. I don't know why people even take public transport anymore, the amount of damage caused any time Bruce Banner wets his pants, there's such a high risk of one of these carriges being your huge, "Cribs"-style coffin.

"Yeah well I got 2 kids and 2 wives buddy, so let's stop gloatin'!"

These people will be glad to know that this train won't be their coffin. I'd imagine once I blow this thing sky high their coffin will be an office window, or the street floor-- Wait, did that guy say he had 2 wives!?

"You, lover boy, get up."

I'm thinking of either having her wake up from a coma or say that it was a LMD of Maria Hill that was in the explosion.

Screen Name: Optikal

Character you would like to play (please include the color and font you plan on using to portray the character): Arachne - Julia Carpenter

Powers and Brief Origin (provide at least two sentences): An athletic young single mother, Julia Carpenter was drawn into a covert double life by an old college friend, federal agent Valerie Cooper who believed Julia would be an ideal test subject for a secret government super-agent program. Reuniting with Carpenter seemingly by chance, Cooper promised her cash-strapped friend lucrative employment and manipulated Julia into undergoing a series of experimental treatments, including injections of a formula incorporating rare Amazon jungle plants and spider venoms, which gave Julia superhuman powers. She became an operative of the CSA as Spider-Woman. The CSA was based in Washington, but Julia initially moonlighted as a seemingly independent super hero in Denver. When the near-omnipotent Beyonder abducted an entire Denver suburb (including the Carpenter home) into space as part of his Secret Wars, Julia fought the Beyonder's army of villains alongside heroes such as the Avengers, the Fantastic Four, the X-Men and Spider-Man (who was so impressed by Julia that he adopted a new costume based on her outfit for a time).

Arachne has superhuman strength (able to lift approximately 10 tons under normal conditions), agility, stamina, and reflexes. Her powers are very similar to Spider-Man's, but hers are psi-based. The psi-webs that she produces are more versatile than Spider-Man's chemical-based webbing, since she can will them to move on their own and manifest themselves even from a distance. She uses her psi-webs to attack and ensnare her opponents, as well as swing on them from building to building much like Spider-Man. By concentrating this psionic force in her hands and feet, she is able to cling to and crawl across any surface, even scaling sheer walls. Arachne also possesses heightened senses, which allow her to sense vibrations, and has been intensively trained in hand-to-hand combat.

(i.e. What are your goals? Will you be doing anything different with the character than is usually seen?): I've chosen her because she's a good Z lister that I can do a lot with.

Rain battered the grounds as she staggered up towards the main doors. Trying to wipe blood and rain and matted hair from her eyes, Julia willed herself forward. Fractured ribs, cuts and bruises all hampered her progress and she fell to her knees, crying out in agony.

The attack had come as a surprise and she knew that any escape was only a temporary reprieve. Whoever her attacker was, they were out for blood and Julia was seasoned enough to know that this was only the beginning.

On hands and knees, with superhuman effort, she reached the doors and pounded a weak fist upon them. She was met with silence, other than the battering rain pulsing in her ears.

"Please..." she whispered out loud as she thumped at the door.

An eternity passed as she bled out and rainwater washed her lifeblood down the concrete stairs. Finally the creak of the door flooded her frame with warm air. Julia tried to look up at the figure standing above her.

"H-Help me" She croaked before unconsciousness took her into blackness.

 

[bkhedr]

Arachne is approved

 

[Spider-Man9X17]

Much thanks for the award nod, bkhedr. I was gonna pick up Johnny again and introduce him to a new era of RPGers, but I thought I should expand my horizons. Darn though if you didn't plant a seed now...

 

[Spike_x1]

Thanks for the nomination too, bkhedr. I didn't know if anyone was even reading my Season 1 solo stuff.

 

[Belvedere]

Uh.

Stupid Hype ate my post earlier, so I wrote it all out again, was just about to post it and what does it do? Eats it again.

There will be murders for this, I promise you that.

Character you would like to play (please include the color and font you plan on using to portray the character): Johnny Storm, The Human Torch

Powers and Brief Origin (provide at least two sentences): His primary power is the ability to envelop his entire body in fiery plasma without harm to himself, in which form he is able to fly and to generate powerful streams and/or 'balls' of fire. He can also manipulate his flame in such a way as to shape it into rings, cages, etc. Even when not engulfed in flame himself, the Torch has the ability to control any fire within his immediate range of vision, causing it to increase or decrease in intensity or to move in a pattern directed by his thoughts. Additionally, he is able to absorb fire/plasma into his body with no detrimental effects. He also has the ability to fly, and due to increased metabolism is immune to poison.

Group your character is aligned with (if applicable): Fantastic Four

Write two complete sentences using proper English grammar. One to explain what you plan to do with the character you've chosen. The other to explain why you've chosen this character. (i.e. What are your goals? Will you be doing anything different with the character than is usually seen?): The Human Torch just feels natural for me. He was my first character, and I think a favorite of the old games. This time around, we'll see the same fun Johnny, without the baggage of a family.

"Ladies, ladies, please. There's enough to go around. I promise you, it's much more fun to get inside first."

The groupies chuckled.

"I like the way you girls think," Johnny Storm winked as he escorted the two girls on his arm to the front of the VIP line, finding the path quickly blocked by a new, very large bouncer.

"Not so fast, pretty boy."

"S'ok, Chuckles. They know me here. I have my own table reserved for life."

"Don't think so."

Johnny laughed, tsking in feigned sadness.

"You clearly are new here, so I'll forgive you for not knowing who I am, even though I am internationally famous and loved by all."

"I know exactly who you are, and you're no longer welcome here. New ownership. No capes welcome. Orders of Mr. Creed himself."

"New ownership...oh, I get it." Johnny slapped the bouncer on the shoulder. "That's good. How much did 'Mr. Creed' pay you? Huh? C'mon now, you got me. Come on out, Benjy!"

"Ain't no joke, small fry."

"Really? Well if that's really the case, whoever Mr. Creed is, he has made a very big mistake. If there's one thing anyone should ever know, it's that you don't mess with Johnny Storm's favorite macking hotsp...Hey! Hey, I was talking to you! HEY! THIS IS IMPORTANT!"

Johnny scowled, smoke rising from his around his neckline as his collar singed.

"Something smells...orange."

This better be your last one!

And people say I have a problem with characters.

[Andy C.]

Heh, I love that right now nobody is after Sabretooth just on the grounds that he's a mass-murder and a crime lord. Gambit wants to take him out because he wants to be the new Kingpin, Johnny Storm wants to take him out so he can get laid, etc.

 

[Byrd Man]

DD was after him for those reasons, but you see how that ended up. Hood is after him to stop that crime boss ***hole!....Just so he can be the onlu crime boss ***hole in town.

Sorry I've not been around, guys. I've been suffering from a lack of motivation in all the RPGs, and I've been more occupied doing work on my own comic project. I'll try and get caught up some time soon.
