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

Fury is NPC, but whether he stays a permanent NPC is to be decided, I guess. The only one who ever applies for him is Gallagher, and then he drops him after, like, half a post

ULTIMATE MARVEL RPG APPLICATION

Screen Name: Optikal

Character you would like to play: Erik Lensherr / Magneto

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?: Villain
The big question - Why this character?: Magneto is a pure badass, always has been and always will be. He's a key villain that can tangle with any of the superheroes or the teams they form.

Brief background information of the character: Erik Lehnsherr killed his mother (his father's fate is unknown) when he found out that his mother was a project manager of the Weapon X program and had kept and tortured Wolverine, Erik freed Logan and then fought his way out. Magneto's mother had wanted to "cure" mutants, and her son. However, it has also been alluded to that he is from a very wealthy and well-connected family that he has parted ways with. His wife's name was Isabelle, and he is aware from the beginning of his familial relationship with Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch. It is also noted that he verbally mistreats them, hinting that he regards them as a living reminder of having an inter-species relationship.

This version of Magneto is significantly darker and more cynical than the mainstream version, regarding all humans with utter and unwavering disdain and likening them to "insects". An arrogant fantasist who gradually sank deeper and deeper into his self-proclaimed role as Mutant Messiah, Eric Lensherr eventually reinvented himself as Magneto, the leader of the Brotherhood Of Mutants and a ruthless terrorist who is willing to kill hundreds in the name of mutant supremacy. On several occasions he has attempted to implement unflinchingly genocidal plans for humanity. He commands a noticeably larger Brotherhood than his mainstream counterpart and has displayed enough power to defeat the Ultimates. Additionally, he was the one to cripple Professor X.

Powers, abilities, and noteworthy equipment: Magneto's mutant powers give him mastery over all magnetic forces. He can perceive the magnetic forces of the earth and bioelectrical patterns of all living beings. He can draw on and use the magnetosphere of the planet, which extends far into space. He can use his power to reshape even the most indestructible metals in existence, including Adamantium.

He can control even the most insignificant magnetic particles in the atmosphere and living beings, reversing their blood flow or ripping out any ferrous elements through their tissues. (He can create fields of magnetism strong enough to manipulate non-ferrous items as well, though he may be using anti-gravity fields to do this.) He has demonstrated the ability to lift tens of thousands of tons with his magnetic powers, although the greater he exerts himself the greater the physical and mental stress. He can erect magnetic force fields with a high degree of impenetrability around himself or others for protection and can fire bursts of magnetic (including EMPs) or electrical energy.

What can you bring to this game?: F-CK YOU, CHELIOS!

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

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

Throughout the hundreds of years that humanity had existed, conflict had always been waged between minorities. Humans had abused, enslaved or even murdered their own kind all because of differences. Whether it had been religion, appearance, language or culture, conflict always existed and always will exist. Humanity has also been known to label, Germans once believed themselves to be the Master race, Africans had at times been called Negro’s, dogs or just plane slaves. With the discovery of a new “race” came a new label. “Mutant”, “gene-freak”, “threat” as the government once called them. Though the government tolerated them, the people still feared them, and that fear evolved into hate.

“PLEASE I DIDN’T DO ANYTHING WRONG!!” He screamed frantically.

Men chased him, intent on causing him harm. All because he looked ugly to them. He ran frantically through the alleys, a foolish choice. After running for what seemed like hours he groaned as he saw the dead end. Not even his survival instinct remained as the man; rags covering his bestial features fell on the discarded garbage. He put his hands to his eyes as the four torches shined in his face. The poor man was too disorientated to even describe the men, though he could tell that at least one of them was black. It seemed that not even people that experienced racism themselves could sympathise with mutants.

“Please, I don’t have any powers I just look different” The man pleaded.

“Your still a mutant, and your kind aren’t welcome in these streets” A tall man, apparently their leader said as he gripped his iron pipe tightly.

Another one of the men reached into his coat pocket, removing a pistol from it. He clicked the safety off and lowered the barrel towards the mans head.

“Hey I thought we agreed we’d just send a message” A shorter man said.

The gunmen thought for a moment before he holstered his gun. For a moment, the mutant sighed in relief before the man in front of him pulled out a knife.

“No please I beg of you, JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!!!” He screamed, trembling back in fear.

The thug didn’t say anything as he lowered his neck. Suddenly the man with the pipe smacked the cutter over the head, knocking him out cold.

“What the f-ck are you doing?” The gunman asked.

“I- I don’t know, the damn pipe just moved on its own”

The mutant’s ears twitched as he heard the metal creaking around him. Each of the thugs stood alert. Suddenly, the pipe flew out of the thug’s hand, flying into his face, shattering the bones there. The thug stumbled across the ground and the others looked in shock at the floating iron pipe. Two ran, but were hung as barbed wire from a nearby fence wrapped around there throats and severed heads from bodies. The gunman aimed his gun, but much to his shock it began breaking apart, its pieces scattering across the floor. The pipe rotated in the air before flying towards him. With ease it shattered through his breast bone and exploded out of his back, carrying the skewered man across the alley to be hung up on the wall. The man tried to cry out but blood frothed from his mouth.

The mutant staggered to his feet and recoiled into the corner as a dark shadow floated down into the alley. He held out a hand to the mutant. "These homosapiens..." the word was spat out rather than spoken, "...they'll never learn. What is your name boy?"

The young mutant only dared glance at his savior. "M- my name's well... I don't know. Some folk just call me Anole".

Magneto removed his helmet and smiled at the frightened mutant. "Well then Anole, Come, I will take to safety where these animals will not be able to harm you. You will be with your own kind. Welcome to my brotherhood".

 

[Johnny Blaze]

Right on. You're approved.

You do know that, as of the current point in continuity, Magneto is a prisoner in the Triskelion, right?

 

[Gallagher]

The underground train came to a grinding halt, the breaks screeched and the doors pried themselves open. Toad opened his eyes and let them adjust to the harsh light inside the car, once they did he took a look around, the dirty looks had died down somewhat since he got on the train, but a few offended individuals still stared in disgust.

A child, sat with his mother, whispered and pointed in Mortimer's direction. Toad met his eyes with a glare of his own, sticking out his tongue in a child-like insult. The boy squealed and jumped up onto his mothers lap. Toad simply smiled to himself as he rose from his seat and clumsily trooped out of the door and onto the platform.

"Where to now Mortimer? You got no one, no friends, no family. If you were to jus' crawl up 'n' die in the middle of the street no one would notice. The X-pricks wouldn't take you in, Mags is in the nick...." Toad lamented, raising his headphones and planting them on his ears. "Life aint turned out nothing like what I planned. You're a loser Toad, always bloody have been. Shoulda died when I was supposed to, when I was born, never should've survived bein' dumped by me parents."

As Mortimer reached street level he looked up at the building surrounding him, the moonlight shining off of mirrored surfaces. "I need to get out of 'ere. This city is killin' me. Too many bad memories." Toad sighed as his shoulders slumped down, his arms flapping by his sides. " New York, New ****ing York."

The alert sounds off as I run through military base, a pistol in each hand, shooting down the approaching soldiers easily. I hear footsteps behind me and drop the pistols as I run out of ammo. I spin around on one foot, taking the machine gun from my back and shoot down the next wave of advancing men. I sling it over my shoulder and proceed down the corridor, moving swiftly.

"Come out, now."

Nothing. Some people never learn. I turn to one door that slides open and I pull off a tear gas grenade from my belt and throw it in, before closing the door. I step back and wait a few seconds, a faint trickle of gas pouring out from underneath. Suddenly the door slides open again and form the smoke stumbles out a balding middle-aged scientist, coughing his lungs up. The door slides shut and he crawls towards me struggling.

"You know what I want."

"What do you mean?" he coughs out.

I step forward and pull a knife out from my belt, twirling it in my fingers, considering where to start. I move my hand down swiftly, aiming for his heart before he screams out and I stop just before.

"Don't!"

I smile cruelly and hold the knife to his throat, glancing it so he can feel the cold metal.

"Tell me everything about Project: Rebirth."

 

[Matt Murdock]

Hot.
Damn.

Approved.

 

[Optikal]

Hoooly.....

 

[Matt Murdock]

U.S. Agent is on the roster.

I made a recruitment thread over in the Marvel Comics section, just so we can really start getting fresh blood in here. If you guys wouldn't mind going and saying that the game doesn't completely suck, that'd be swell.

 

[Optikal]

Can we say that it does suck?

No publicity is bad publicity.

Character you would like to play: Hercules

Has this character appeared in the Ultimate comic books? If not, how will you 'Ultimatize' him or her?:I don't believe he has appeared in the Ultimate Universe. I'm basically going to keep him the same as the 616 version, but
no one is going to believe he is a god, like Thor in the original Ultimates series. He will however be more lighthearted than Thor.

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

The big question - Why this character?: Because I love Greek Mythology, and he's become one of my favorite heroes recently.

Brief background information of the character: Son of Zeus, King of the Greek Gods, and Alcmene, a mortal woman, Hercules was once the greatest hero of the ancient world before being betrayed by his Olympian family. Possessed by Hera, he murdered his wife and children. In his disgrace, he performs his 12 labors. Eventually he was asked to join the Greek Pantheon, to Hera's dismay. As the Greek God of Strength, he influenced events around the world, until the Greek Pantheon fell out of favor with the people. Almost 2000 years later,
with faith completely lost in them, the Greek Pantheon has died and Olympus has faded out of existance, and the Half-Mortal Gods have been returned to Earth.

Powers, abilities, and noteworthy equipment:
Super-Strength and Invulnerabilty. I'm gonna leave that goofy mace out of the ultimate universe.

What can you bring to this game?: some knowledge of the Greek world, and some comedy.

What color and font would your character use? (Please fully
type the font out): [FONT="Book
Antiqua"]Book antiqua Green

How many times per week do you plan on posting?: God... I'm really going to try this time.

2420 Years Ago
The Hellespont

Hercules approachs the army of Persians coming off of their ships at the Hellespont, the entrance to the Greek world.

The Persian empire has started a war with the Greeks, again. 10 years ago, the First Persian War ended. But during the brief period of peace, Darius the King of Persia, died. His son Xerxes blames the Greeks for his death, and his new found power has gone to his head. He claims he is a god come to Earth, and that all the Earth shall be his.

Little do they know that Greece has a protector, a god who will defend Greece's borders till his last breath, which makes being immortal very useful. Hercules has been a god for over a thousand years now, but he has never had to come to earth. There has never been a threat as large as Xerxes' forces.

As Hercules approaches the Persian armies, his booming voice is loud enough for all to hear "Where is this self proclaimed God-King?! I would like to see the look on his face as I pull him off his golden throne."

The whole Persian army stops, and one small man comes forward. Well... small for Hercules. The man is 6'3" and built like a bull. This, however, for Hercules is nothing but a joke. Hercules stands above all men, and the muscles in his arm are as large as this one man.

"The King does not grace his presence on this disgusting land."

"HA! Why? Is he too much of a coward to face the People of Hellas himself? Being a God and all, I would think he could take on the Hellenes himself?" Hercules' booming laughter shakes the ground, and causes some of the boats to break from their moorings.

"You dare call Xerxes Sunking a coward?!" The man unsheathes his sword, his muscles tense up. He prepares to strike.

"I bet he sits in his little golden palace, giving orders to little men like you because he dare not even attempt to fight a mighty Hellene!"

The huge man charges toward Hercules. Hercules brings his foot backward and kicks the man, sending him flying into the sea miles from shore. The Persians stand in shock, but one man screams "Charge!" and the massive army stampedes toward the towering Hercules.

"HA! A whole army before lunch! I'm going to work up an appetite!"

 

[Matt Murdock]
