The Ultimate Marvel RPG Season I Sign-Up/OOC Thread

Actually I'm going to drop Black Knight. I'm just not feeling him as much as I thought I would and would like to leave him open for someone else to Ultimize later and hopefully better than I was going to. In the meantime, I'm going to apply for someone else...

 

Dropping both Hawkeye and Magneto. New job and a complete lack of enthusiasm for the games in general right now. Will probably come back at some point in the future though.

 

Third time's a charm, right?

"So you're leaving?"

As much as he didn't want to leave her and his children, Clinton Barton looked down as the pair stood next to their bed, confirming her conclusion.

"It's Nick, Laura. I can't leave him hanging. He needs us. All of us. He wants me there by his side. I mean look at what happened to Washington..."

Clint grabbed the remote from his nightstand and switched on their television to find the news already being viewed. More specifically footage of the rubble that used to be the nation's capital. Footage that compelled him to be alongside his team as they fight the people responsible...

"It's fine. Go. Go find who did this..."

"Tell the kids I love 'em."

"Always..."

"I love you."

"I love you too, Clint. Come back in one piece."

"Always do." He responded as he smiled, kissing his beautiful wife's forehead.

Then he turned and grabbed his case and headed straight for the Triskelion's hangar. Where the Ultimates were waiting...

 

bumped with a sample. Sorry for the delay.

 

You're both approved.

Red Robin if I don't see a post by Saturday I'm bunnying U.S. Agent and moving on with something else for spidey.

Drawing dangerously close to the two week limit.

 

After a bit of thought, I've decided that, against my best interests, I'm going to drop out as Iron Man. With my focus consistently gravitating towards Ultimate DC, aswell as my interest in another character in another RPG, I just won't have the focus for Tony that's needed for this arc.

So, yeah. Seeya around.

 

Poor, MB. He was such a good poster too. He will be missed.

*sharpens knife*

 

Iron Man's open?

 

Hopefully not for long. Just waiting on you to get your app for Tony up.

 

ULTIMATE MARVEL RPG APPLICATION

Screen Name: Eddie Brock

Character you would like to play: Antonio "Tony" Stark / Iron Man

Has this character appeared in the Ultimate comic books? If not, how will you 'Ultimatize' him or her?: Tony is one of the founding members of the Ultimates, and as such appeared in The Ultimates Volume 1. He was also featured in two miniseries detailing his origin.

Is the character a hero, a villain, or walking the line?: He's a hero.

The big question - Why this character?: I've never understood why Iron Man was always considered a second-tier character, but I'm glad that the Iron Man movie propelled him to a more prominent status. Especially in today's world where heroes aren't quite as heroic as they used to be, a drinking, gambling, womanizing arms dealer with a heart of gold is quite an interesting case study.

Brief background information of the character: Antonio Stark is the child of two prominent figures, billionaire industrialist Howard Stark and brilliant scientist Maria Cerrerra. As a result of a lab accident, Maria is exposed to a regenerative virus, which the fetal Tony inherits. The virus kills Maria, but not before she can deliver Tony - who is born with neural tissue expanding across his body. In an effort to save his son, Howard Stark uses an experimental bio-armor which protects Tony's sensitive skin.

Howard would later be murdered by Obidiah Stane, one of his business rivals. This left an orphaned Tony to take control of Stark Industries. While Tony delved deeper into alcoholism and womanizing, Start Industries became the cutting edge of technology and arms manufacturing in the world. After discovering he had an incurable brain tumor, Tony decided to make up for his mistakes and use his resources to save the world as Iron Man.

Powers, abilities, and noteworthy equipment: The excess of neural tissue across Tony's body makes him unmeasurably intelligent, but it also comes with the drawback of making his body hyper-sensitive to pain. His tissue regenerates very quickly, though, giving Tony a sort of "healing factor." As for noteworthy equipment, well, Tony pretty much has it all. I suppose the most obvious thing to mention are the numerous Iron Man suits that Tony has designed for a variety of occasions.

What can you bring to this game?: Well, it's been a while, so I can't quite tell you how much gas is left in the tank. However, I'm taking it slow, and I'm going to dedicate as much time and energy as I can to the few characters I do have.

What color and font would your character use? (Please fully type the font out): Bold Red Century Gothic / Dark Red Fixedsys

How many times per week do you plan on posting?: Not as many as I could in my heyday, but I won't regularly drag things on when people need me to post.

Do you know how to post pictures on the Hype! boards:

Provide a small sample post for your character, about 4 paragraphs with at least one line of dialog:

My eyes are starting to hurt. How long have I been up? Check the clock. 4:37 AM. Hmm. Didn't think it was that late. Oh well. There's still work to do. I reach for my coffee cup, accidentally shuffling schematics and papers on my desk. I don't take my eyes off the holographic screen. I bring the cup to my lips and take a sip.

"Ugh," I groan as the coffee touches my lips. I look down into the cup of hot, black liquid. "Needs something," I mutter to myself. I pat my legs, searching for a familiar object. I find it in my pant pocket. A flask. I unscrew the cap and pour a considerable amount of its contents into the coffee. I then replace the cap and toss the nearly-empty flask aside. I take another sip.

"Better."

I turn my attention back to the holographic screen. A three-dimensional rendering of my current Iron Man armor rotates silently before me. I tap the screen once, freezing the suit in place. With another tap, I zoom in on the suit's power core. The screen illuminates my face as the only source of light in my darkened office.

"Losing power somewhere," I remark to no-one in particular. "Need to be more efficient." I tap the screen, and the model returns to its original zoom, rotating once more. I pull up a menu listing all the suit's specification. I frown. "Let's see what we've got."

Weapons. Ha. Can't afford to sacrifice any power there.

Flight. I suppose I could lower maximum speed, but where's the fun in that? Note to self: investigate further methods of making suit aerodynamic.

What else?

Defense and shielding.

I lean back in my chair, gently rubbing the growing stubble on my cheek. "Well, they always did say that the best defense is a good offense..."

 

Approved.

 

Once we get to the palace, I was going to have us run in to Jakkara's hired super villain mercs. So, if there's any particular character you wish to Ultimize and duke it out with just let me know via post or PM.

 

Is the Ultimate Spider-Man cut-off before Ronin's introduction?

 

The Ultimate Spider-Man cutoff is before Venom.

 

Ultimate Ronin was Moon Knight, which I have. But since the cut-off date occurs before that comes about I don't have any issue with you "Ultimizing" Echo (or perhaps even a new character) for the role if no-one else has.

Reminds me, I've got to throw another post up here soon...

 

I just wanted to know if he hasn't been established so that I can utilize him down the line for a Hawkeye story. So thanks for the approval of my using him when the time comes.

 

Oh yeah, you have Hawkeye... didn't think to put two and two together

Yeah, I wasn't going to go down a Ronin tangent with Ultimate Moon Knight anyway, so its more than fine with me.

 

I'm glad these cutoffs won't make things confusing and cause problems.

 

Cool beans.

 

Sorry for my lack of posts guys. Been alittle rough trying to get back in the grove of posting. I'll have a Quicksilver post up soon. Also welcome back Edd. Good to see ya dude.
