The big question - Why this character?: I've said it before, but what the hell. Even before the movie hit and everyone began to like him, Iron Man was my favorite Avenger. And by default, my favorite Ultimate. He's just a fun character to write that, by all means, combines the tech-savvy modern day billionaire with the arrogant drunkard of today's party-hard socialities and puts both characteristics through the wringer. Then goes the extra mile, and adds a heavily weaponized armored suit ontop of that.
Brief background information of the character: Growing up as the child of a respected doctor and a billionaire scientist, Antonio 'Tony' Stark became a child prodigy. Boasting a college-graduate IQ by the age of six, Tony became his father's protege and began to tinker with inventions long since abandoned by Stark Industries, ultimately improving upon them and helping launch the company as a top grade military-supplier. But like always, there came a downside to his talents. Because of the nature of his birth, Tony's skin became ultra-sensitive and regularly pained him. It was because instead of just an internal brain, his skin was apart of it aswell, making him a walking cerebrum and a bi-product of science. To help him cope with his condition, Tony's father created an external protective shell that allowed the boy to live close to a normal life.
But others soon looked to capitalize on Tony's genius. Howard Stark's buisness rival, Obidiah Stane, would be prominent among them as he tried unsuccessfully to kidnap and use the boy against his father. When that didn't work, Stane organized both the deaths of Howard and Maria, leaving a teenage Tony an orphan. Taking up his father's corporation and empire, it wasn't long until Stark became a billionaire playboy, using alcohol to dull the pain of his condition and use his frequent party contacts to get himself invested into all sorts of revenues. It wasn't until he developed an inoperable brain tumor that a distraught Tony began to work towards fufilling his true calling: Protecting the world, while he still had the time to leave an impact on it. Constructing a high tech suit of armor, Tony Stark publically became the technological hero known as The Invincible Iron Man.
Powers, abilities, and noteworthy equipment: When wearing his constantly evolving Iron Man armor, Stark possesses the abilities of superhuman strength, durability, and flight. His weapons include high-powered laser cannons, controlled rockets, and machine guns.
What can you bring to this game?: Hopefully a version of Tony Stark that hasn't gotten too stale, since my last outing as the character.
What color and font would your character use? (Please fully type the font out): Century Gothic Bold, Red, for Tony's normal speech, Dark Red Fixedsys for when he's Iron Man
How many times per week do you plan on posting?: Probably more than my other characters, of late. I don't plan to do much solo stuff with Tony at first, so there's the team-dynamic to work off of with The Ultimates.
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:
"Now this is a party."
The supermodels giggled to themselves as Tony Stark raised his half-full glass of champagne in a pseudo-toast, lounging about in the penthouse suite of the hotel he had just checked into with a horde of women as his accompaniments. While some would call the action to be brash and thoughtless, Stark was just wondering to himself where to place this one on the list. He had been all around Europe for about a week, and rather than get back to buisness on his first day returned to American soil, Tony decided that the best course of action would be to switch out business for pleasure. In short, he'd celebrate his return by having copious amounts of sex and alcohol.
Mostly alcohol.
"You know, ladies, this brand actually can't be legally purchased in the country. Just a little fun fact for you,", Stark smirked, sloppily pouring himself some more.
"But since I've never been one to let dear old Uncle Sam disrupt what could be a beautiful night, I just asked myself the obvious. Who said that being an amoral Government puppet couldn't have it's own rewards?"
Downing the glass with a grin, Tony laid back, allowing two of the supermodels to lay themselves on his shoulders as the others danced to the loud music that was blaring across the entire room. Though the neighboring guests frequently yelled or complained to the management, nothing was said to stop them. Because just above his room's wine cooler laid the deed to the hotel itself. Tony had bought the property on the spot.
"Oh, Mister Stark...", One of the models sensually moaned. "You're making me sooo hot."
"You're becoming quite the aphrodisiac yourself, my dear.", Tony replied, as the model began kissing him on his neck.
"What would you say if I asked you to spend the night?"
"But Tony,", One of the others asked. "Don't you have, like, a giant monster to fight or something tommorow?"
"Pamela, darling... the correct term is 'Abnormal Scientific Monstrosity'.", Tony corrected.
"And even if that were the case, which it may very well be... I've come to the conclusion that even superheroes need time to themselves."
Tony's eyes widened in pleasure, as the model kissed him in a tender area.
"Oh and right now, I'm thinking that I need as much of that time as I can stand."
