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

I'd change the red to black. That's my only comment at this point.
Yeah, I changed the format of the post.

I was trying tohighlight the changes to the application by making the new stuff red, but it was too much text for a post if I had it twice.

So I just put those two headings at the end and deleted half of it.

So the red stands ot more as being meaningles and out of place...
 
ULTIMATE MARVEL RPG APPLICATION

Screen Name: Optikal

Character you would like to play: Clint Barton / Hawkeye

Has this character appeared in the Ultimate comic books? If not, how will you 'Ultimatize' him or her?: N/A

Is the character a hero, a villain, or walking the line?:
Hero

The big question - Why this character?: I was never that fond of Captain America, always preferring characters with more 'grime' to them than the star spangled superhero. Hawkeye was one such character. His Ultimate appearances offering a more military and tactical approach to the character than his 616 counterpart. I like the way the character develops throughout the 3 volumes of Ultimates and would love to put my own spin on it.

Brief background information of the character:
A former Olympic archer, Clint Barton became a U.S. intelligence agent over a decade ago. Active around the world, he was present for the liberations of Kosovo and Afghanistan, as well as the fall of the Berlin Wall.

He became a close friend and frequent colleague of fellow agent Nick Fury, and the two operatives were key founders of the modern intelligence agency S.H.I.E.L.D. Both rose through the ranks until Fury became the agency's director and Barton (code-named Hawkeye) became an elite agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s black ops division, often partnered with ex-KGB espionage legend Natasha Romanov. Despite his dangerous, globe-spanning profession, Barton managed to build a more stable family life than most of his peers, residing for years with his girlfriend Laura (who recently became his wife), with whom he had three children: Callum, Lewis and baby Nicole, named after her godfather, Nick Fury. Hawkeye habitually phoned his family before every mission to say good-bye, just in case he never returned. He always returned, even after a mission which pitted him, Romanov, and their support team against two office buildings full of extraterrestrial Chitauri sleeper agents. Most of their team died, but Hawkeye, the Widow and a handful of others survived, wiping out the Chitauri sleepers in the process.

Shortly thereafter, Hawkeye and the Widow were promoted to membership in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s new celebrity superhero team, the Ultimates, complete with newly falsified backgrounds to make them more acceptable public figures. When the Ultimates thwarted a Chitauri plot to destroy Earth, thanks in part to unwitting assistance from the monstrous Hulk, it was a wounded Hawkeye who managed to bring down the rampaging Hulk once the aliens were defeated

Powers, abilities, and noteworthy equipment:
Hawkeye is a master archer with extraordinarily fast reflexes, exceptional dexterity and near-perfect aim. He is also an excellent all-around marksman well versed in conventional firearms, and has an uncanny knack for using miscellaneous hand-held objects as projectile weapons. Hawkeye is a veteran espionage operative, a formidable physical combatant, and an experienced fighter pilot.

What can you bring to this game?: A sexy Party

What color and font would your character use? (Please fully type the font out): Arial Purple Bold

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

The truck rumbled along the road as the men in the back rocked and rolled with the bumps. Most of them clutched at their rifles with sweaty palms, cold nervousness overtaking them. Their sense of duty was resolute though, Clint couldn't fault them on that. He opened his cell phone and tapped the speed dial, listening to the ringing tone.

"Hello?"

Clint smiled to himself, his heart soaring. "Laura? It's me".

"Hey baby, the line's kinda funny, are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm alright.Just another day at the office, y'know?".
He glanced around at the other soldiers. None of them glanced back.

"Mhm. You be careful, I've just bought a roast for when you get home tomorrow and I don't want to have to waste it".

Clint laughed to himself. The calls were always the same. He'd make ure he spoke to his family and she'd try to filter out their fears with a bit of lighthearted gossip or a flip remark. "Listen Laura, Give the kids a kiss from me. Tell 'em I love 'em".

"I will do. I love you Clint".

"I love you too".


Clint flipped the phone closed as the transport rumbled to a stop. He took a breath. "Alright boys. Lock and load. This is what we do!"

Guns clicked and soldiers began to pour out of the back of the truck and onto the battlefield. Clint threw is hood over his head and placed his goggle over his eyes. Bow drawn and both pistols in their holsters, Hawkeye launched himself onto the battlefield.

Just another day at the office.
 
Why thank you kind sir. I was going to apply as Steve Rogers but I bottled it at the last minute because I don't think I'm good enough to lead the Ultimates. I'll leave that to someone far more talented :D

It's a sign man, that's the app the Internet ate just as I was going to post it. Besides, if I could do it, you could, only better.
 
From reading OOC earlier, I figured you were going to pick up :thor:
If you're not, I miiiight just have to take up a second character!

And dude, you'd make an awesome Cap! :up:
 
Today is the last day for posting competing applications. At midnight tonight, any apps left unapproved will be approved, and it becomes first come, first serve.
 
ULTIMATE MARVEL RPG APPLICATION

Screen Name: SenseiofCheese

Character you would like to play: Captain America

Has this character appeared in the Ultimate comic books? If not, how will you 'Ultimatize' him or her?: He has.

Is the character a hero, a villain, or walking the line?:
Hero

The big question - Why this character?: Well, I had an absolute blast playing him last time, and people seemed to like what I did with him. Despite my own beliefs to the contrary, I actually managed to rise to the occasion and lead the Ultimates in battle.

Brief background information of the character: Ultimate Captain America's origin does not differ all that much from his 616 counterpart. A frail volunteer during WWII, Steve Rogers was the subject of the Super Soldier Project. Injected with the Super Soldier Serum, Rogers became a living legend. As the war hero Captain America, Rogers played a pivotal role in the Allies' victory over the Axis. On his last mission, Captain America made the ultimate sacrifice when he was lost in the Arctic, saving millions. But he was found, many years later, and brought back to life. Despite his own doubts, Captain America still has a place in the modern world; as the leader of the Ultimates.

Powers, abilities, and noteworthy equipment: As a result of the Super Soldier Serum, Steve Rogers possesses strength, speed, agility and stamina greater than that of any human man. Aside from a keen strategical mind, Rogers possesses a shield made of adamantium and a near limitless array of weapons outfitted by SHIELD.

What can you bring to this game?: A dedicated poster with previous experience with the character.

What color and font would your character use? (Please fully type the font out): Fixedsys, blue, bold.

How many times per week do you plan on posting?: Whenever it is needed of me.

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

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

"Again?" Steve sighs, returning the salute.

"Yes, sir." the SHIELD agent confirms. A man of his skills could be out making a difference in the world; the disappointment in his voice is clear.

"Well, you did the right thing calling me." Steve pats the man on the back, giving him an assuring smile. "I'll take it from here. You've done good, son."

"Thank you, sir." the young man throws off one more salute before leaving the bar.

Steve makes his way through the bar, stepping over an unconscious, half-dressed woman. "Good God." he shakes his head as he finally spots his target.

The man is a mess. Sweat stained hair, his suit looking like it got caught in a tornado. Traces of vomit on his lower lip and lipstick on his neck. The man, fast asleep, is smiling.

"Tony." Steve kicks the man softly in the arm. "Wake up, Tony."
 
Can we give a run-down of all of the characters who are on-board so far and others still awaiting approval, might make things easier for other folk who are considering joining.
 
I mean... *puts on spruiker's hat* we've got EVERY single X-Men character other than Cyclops still on the block.

That's right EVERY SINGLE X-Men character... they've all got to go, and at prizes so low you'll think its mad-cap Marvel mutant madness!

Not a fan of the mutants? Well how does this sound to you? 3 of the 4 fine figures of the Fantastic 4, all priced to clear... that's right. Ben Grimm, Sue Richards, Reed Richards. Get in soon because the Baxter building is having a krazy klearance and Richards's's's are flying out the door!

Any Avengers/Ultimates fans will be overcome with joy at the prospect of having their very own Thor, fresh with Mjolnir! Black Widows, Nick Furys, Wasps, Henry Pym and they've absolutely GOT TO GO!

More a fan of the Eastern culture? We've got Iron Fist, the Mandarin, and Shang Chi (he's LOADED... with wasabi) they're all priced to clear and let me tell you folks, you won't be hungry again in an hour...
 
**** it, Hammer time.
