Character you would like to play: Angel

Powers and a brief description of the character in proper English: Originally Angel had hollow bones, hawk-like senses, and a pair of feathered wings. But due to Apocalypse's genetic experiments, Angel has also aquired super strength and a low level healing factor.

Three reasons why you have chosen that character:

1. He's one of my two favorite Ult X-men characters (the other being Dazzler).

2. Iv always wanted the ability to fly and this is the closest I'll ever get to actually having that power.

3. Plus he kicks ass.

What can you bring to this game? The usual: babes, booze, and blunts.

An hour and a half and eight beers later.......

I leave the gang and grab my bag as I head up to my room. I throw the bag on my bed and walk out onto the balcony overlooking the backyard. I take a deep breath and start replaying everything thats happened. I really don't know how long I spent out there but the sound of laughter is heard coming down the hall and my door opens.

"Oh **** War you missed some funny ****. Kurt got shnockered again and started dancing around the kitchen singing some german folk song. He passed out soon after so John and I dragged him into his room and threw him on his bed."

She falls back onto my bed and stretches. She looks back up to me and see that I havent moved.

"Whats wrong?"

I shake my head and turn around.

"It's Piotr, iv been trying to figure out why he would just up and leave us right in the middle of a fight. And lets not mention Jean...."

"Eh Jean always shows up naked and confused, thats her thing I guess. And don't worry about the Tin Man, im sure he'll be back."

"Its not just that. I just can't shake the feeling something bad is about to happen. This was the feeling I had before Apocalypse reared his ugly mug."

Silence settles on the room. Just mentioning Apocalypse's name is enough to bring those memories surging back in vivid detail. Ali gets up and walks over to me. She wraps her arms around my waist and looks up into my eyes.

"Well let it happen. We've gotten through it before we can sure as hell do it again."

"I know but......"

She places a finger on my lips silencing me.

"No buts...."

She kisses me so hard that it hurts. She finally breaks the kiss and smiles.

"Lets go to bed. We'll deal with everything else tomorrow."

Before I can say anything she takes my hand and drags me back into my room. As we fall into bed I hear the low rumble of aproaching storm clouds.


To be continued.....

Woo stands rooted to the spot as Kitty leaves and Janet and Hank Pym arrive with Pietro and Wanda Maximoff. They pay their respects and share a brief moment of silence before leaving Woo and Fury standing infront of the grave stone. Fury nodes and one of the gravediggers flips a little switch causing the casket to start lowering. A loud beep breaks the silence as Fury presses a button on his watch and turns to Woo.

"I gotta go theres a situation."

Woo simply nodes. Fury bends down and grabs a handful of dirt and sprinkles it into the grave.

"Rest in piece kid."

Fury turns and heads for the chopper.

"Alright troops move out!"

Woo looks down at the coffin as the diggers start filling in the hole. He stays until they're finished. He places his on hand on the head stone and sighs.

"Good bye Anton."

James Woo slowly lowers his head and leave as rain starts to fall.



The End.

 

[Matt Murdock]

Best Storyline: Sinster - I, personally, enjoyed reading this story from start to finish. The pace was right, the story was well done, and I didn't feel obligated to read any of the posts, I actually wanted to.

Best Hero: Tarantula (Venom160) - I first approached Venom160 about the clash between The Scarlet Spider and Tarantula way back in the middle of Season III. In my collaboration with him, I saw what quite a few of the characters here lack: a distinct interest in them held by the writers. Sure, we all have vested interests in how our characters interact and how our stories play out, and, in some cases, characters become conjoined to players. EBJ has Spider-Woman, I've got Deadpool, Feature plays Sandman, and Mr. Marko's is Forge. We all have our given roles and our adoration of our characters and their stories is clear, and I think that it's undeniable to admit that Venom160's dedication to the stories is among the highest we have in the game.

Best Villain: Charles Xavier (Feature) - He's killed Beast, lost his mind, and taken on Sinister. Feature's Xavier is a badass, plain and simple.

Best Multiplayer Character: Master Bruce - We saw a total of 38 posts from Master Bruce in Season IV. It's such a shame that we didn't get any more from him, as he's an excellent writer. That said, the infrequency of his posts makes each one more of an event, something to be valued and taken as a part of its own story. Something that Bruce seems to do quite well is to write his characters objectively. I don't sense any of his own personality coming through in his writing, which is something I strive for. I think that Bruce's style, his ability to differ from character to character seamlessly, is what sets him apart from the writers and the actual players. That deserves some kind of recognition.

Best Developed Character: Thor (NowufaceDoom) - In his, thus far, short run as Thor, I've had the opportunity to work with NowufaceDoom pretty closely, given his character's natural interaction with my own. From a development standpoint, I think that Thor's really come quite a long way. When I read Doom's depiction of the Thunder God, I see him as I would in Ultimates I and Ultimates II (I'm not a fan of III, to be honest). He seems like he's almost itching for a fight, and I think that NUFD's gotten Thor's development just right. Is he a God, is he a nutjob, and how does he really feel about Tony Stark?

Best Rivalry: Blackheart & Ghost Rider (Syn(Mercenary) and Byrd Man) - This rivalry started way back when this game was still in Season III (I think) and has lasted quite a long time. It's hard to deny that Syn's Blackheart is an ultimate villain, refusing to let up on Byrd's Ghost Rider, even to the extent of forming the Ultimate Hellfire Club. Once again, this was a pleasure to read and a great addition to the Season.

Best Fight: Ultimate Hellfire Club v. Ultimate Thunderbolts

​

Best Newcomer: Have we had any?

Best Post: None. I'm not gonna play favorites.

MVP: Eddie Brock Jr. - You can always count on EBJ to post a well-written, engaging, and fun to read response that keeps the action flowing, and breaths life into the game. That's what an MVP is to me, so that's why EBJ gets this one.

 

[Matt Murdock]

You're approved, Venom.

 

[Eddie Brock]

Thanks for the award, Murdock.

We're doing the awards in this OOC? I'll keep that in mind as I work on them tonight.

 

[Matt Murdock]

Would anyone have any objections to the altering of the two-week rule, so that it is similar to the one in the "Westchester" game?

 

[Venom160]

You're approved, Venom.

danke

Thanks for the award, Murdock.

We're doing the awards in this OOC? I'll keep that in mind as I work on them tonight.

Would anyone have any objections to the altering of the two-week rule, so that it is similar to the one in the "Westchester" game?

[Blacklight]

Why must you?

 

[Eddie Brock]

Why must you?

I don't. I have one character. Your logic is really flawed sometimes.

 

[Blacklight]

I don't. I have one character. Your logic is really flawed sometimes.

Character you would like to play: Tony Stark AKA The Invincible Iron Man

Powers and a brief description of the character in proper English: What to say about good ol' Anthony Stark? He's a billionaire, a drunkard, and a guy in a suit of armor. Did I mention drunkard?

Three reasons why you have chosen that character:

1. Powered armor.

2. Shameless flirtation.

3. Al-co-hol.

What can you bring to this game? A consistent smattering of Iron Man posts.

How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: Enough.

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 dialouge:

Ultimate Iron Man - All Good Things

Thor was gone, despite Tony Stark's deepest and most sincere requests for him not to leave.

Stark's entire world as he knew it had somehow changed, he saw the world through different eyes.

He sat quietly in a chair in the lounge at the Triskellion, across from Captain America, sipping a glass of water. The Ultimates had returned from Tarantula's funeral less than whole. Spider-Woman left with Patriot, and Hawkeye had gone home to his family. Wasp and Pym were grieving alone at their home, while Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch were somewhere in the huge city of New York.

Some simulations were running on a set of plasma screen televisions behind the two, abandoned heroes. Each possible outcome of the impending attack showed catastrophic casualty numbers, each one numbering in over five thousand.

As the alcohol he had ingested at the wake started to really set into his system, Stark began playing with the black tie wrapped around his neck. Playfully running it through his fingers, he felt the pain that gripped his body continuously gradually drift away.

At last he was at peace.

"Goddamned shame." Captain America finally said.

Stark, fully coherent, raised an eyebrow.

"Which part?" He muttered simply.

"All of it. The kid, this end-of-the-world crisis, the president..." Captain America seemed to be lost in thought.

"All of it... especially the young kid."

"Welcome to the Ultimates, Mr. Rogers." Stark said quietly.

The two kept staring at each other, Captain America's shield glistened in the neon glow of the lights above them as it sat in the corner.

"I suppose we should make a toast."

"To what?" Rogers asked, intrigued.

"Survival."

"Here here."

Tony finished his water in a single mouthful and slid the glass onto the coffee table between him and his colleague.

"Why'd you build the Iron Man suit?" Captain America asked, reaching out to his teammate.

Stark took a second to truly think about the question and his response.

"To entice women." He said, simply.

Rogers laughed, understanding that Stark wasn't going to open his shell at all tonight.

Stark pushed himself up off of the sofa and stared out at the city.

It was dusk.

Quiet.

Calm.

As if on some sort of cue, the lights in the lounge went out with a simple CLICK.

Stark turned around and stared at Captain America, who was bathed in the red glow of the emergency light.

"What's going on?"

"An excellent question." Stark's voice was vaguely sarcastic, as if he didn't have the foggiest notion of why the building had lost power.

Fury barged into the room and stared at his two employees.

"Everyone alright?" He asked.

"I believe that Steven is fine, but I seem to have lost my sight."

Rogers and Fury simply stared at him.

"Kidding."

In the center of the room, a green light began to pulse, hovering over a conference table.

"How cliché." Stark observed, fixing himself a drink at the bar.

The light grew in intensity and a figure stepped forth from it, bathed in its bright glow.

"Stark..." Rogers muttered as he readied himself, shield mounted on his arm.

Stark's eyes widened as the green light faded away, leaving nothing but a silver figure floating above the conference room.

"Can he see us?" Rogers asked.

"I dunno, how 'bout you ask?"

Roger's didn't even smirk.

"Ultimates." The being said. "As you are aware by now, I am planning an attack on your world."

The being flickered in and out of visibility.

"Son of a *****, it's a recording."

"The casualties will number well into the thousands at the time of my initial attack. After that, your planet will slowly die, as its inhabitants begin to become infected."

Fury stared at the hologram, visibly enraged.

"Your time of reckoning has come."

With that, the lights returned and the hologram vanished, leaving the three men to stare at each other, paralyzed with uncertainty.

KRA-KOOM!

The view of the city had changed dramatically in such a short period. The sky was gray, with clouds covering any light that dusk would bring.

Lighting struck buildings and towers, as the city itself seemed to tremble and quake at the its impending attack.

"Get the president on the phone... and the mayor. I want an all-out evacuation to start RFN."

Stark blinked as he slumped back onto the sofa, holding his head in his hands.

"Don't bother, Fury. Just call the team."

"What the hell do you mean 'don't bother?' We can still save some lives!"

"No. We can't." Stark said simply. "We're too late."

Project: Nexus had begun.

Spoiler

Character you would like to play: Benjamin Reilly aka The Scarlet Spider

Powers and a brief description of the character in proper English: Created from a stray sample of Peter Parker's DNA by Doctor Miles Warren. Warren worked closely with a member of ESU's science department, Ben Reilly. Reilly worked with Dr. Curtis Connors on creating a crude clone of Peter Parker, which then became the monster known as Carnage. After leaving Connors' side, Reilly attempted to recreate Carnage on his own. Eventually, the second Carnage experiment became self aware and took on the crime fighting alias of the Scarlet Spider. After several twists and turns, the Carnage experiment was told that he too was a clone. The true Scarlet Spider had been duplicating Carnage experiments after abandoning his creator, and mentor, Miles Warren. Now, he's back, having completely rid himself of Carnage, trying to make up for the atrocities he's committed in the past.

Three reasons why you have chosen that character:

1. The Scarlet Spider's always been a favorite of mine.

2. I'm finally, at length, bringing an end to the Carnage arc I started in Season III. Carnage has been a thorn in Reilly's side, and this season it ends.

3. This can lead to an interesting dynamic between myself and EBJ, especially with Ben's rejection of the Suit once and for all.

What can you bring to this game? Tarantula. Byrd Man may not care about him, or anyone else, but go ahead... try and get the bastard back without me. You NEED me!

How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: Porn.

Do you know how to post pictures on the hype boards: I haven't got a frigging clue.

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

His eyes stare back at me, dull and vacant, as if he's still thinking about what to say. Part of me wants him to say something, anything. My own thoughts and my heartbeat are almost too much for me to deal with at this point, my own head has gotten way too small.

At last, Pete speaks.

"And do what?" He says with his trademark wit, "Leave the whack-jobs of New York in the hands of... well... a whack-job?"

I sneer.

"If you're talking about what happened with Ant--"

"I'm talking about what happened with J. Jonah Jameson." Parker says, simply cutting me off. "He's an innocent person. You used him to get to me. No. You can't do that and expect me to entrust my city, my home, to you."

I can feel every bone in his body screaming for him to just give up, to accept the reality that he shouldn't be Spider-Man. So, I'm going for the one million dollar question, the big one.

"And if you die?" I ask, almost condescendingly.

I see his mask pull back in such a way that I can tell he's grinning.

That's not a good sign.

"I hope I go out fighting." He says with a maturity far beyond his years.

That's where he and I differ, I guess. He wants to go out fighting. I'd rather not go out at all. Why is that a bad thing, though? Why should I be judged for valuing my life?

I blink, realizing that nobody's judging me... nobody but myself.

"You've hurt people tonight. I can't let that go unspoken for."

Whatever remorse or sorrow I may be feeling is gone.

"Let's dance." I growl.

Parker lunges at me, his movements are slow, as if he's groggy.

I duck out of his path with ease, and roll along the rooftop.

As Parker hits the rooftop, I pivot and fire a pair of weblines at his back. They go taught and he slams onto his back. He grabs the lines himself and pulls me onto my face.

"That the best you've got?!" He jests. "Throwing my own tricks my way?"

*THWIP*

Character you would like to play: Ultimate Wonderman

Powers and a brief description of the character in proper English: Sargent Simon Williams was a member of the covert, paramilitary agency known as the CIA. Sex for dinner and death for breakfast was his lifestyle, and he enjoyed it. Recently, Williams has been contracted by the government to head into Iraq to assassinate a prominent businessman who launders money and easily brings weapons into the impoverished.

Three reasons why you have chosen that character:
1. No previously established continuity? Well, ****, sign me up!
2. He's a character I think should get an Ultimate counterpart.
3. Technically, his body is an infinite supply of energy... that means he can do whatever the deuce he wants, whenever he wants to do it.

What can you bring to this game? Nothing.

Do you know how to post pictures on the hype boards: What're the 'hype boards?'

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

"Crimson?" I ask, as I draw my pistol. The desert air is hot against my skin, and I can feel beads of sweat dropping down my neck. Doesn't matter. It's all part of the job.

"Crimson?" I ask again, as I screw the silencer onto my firearm.

The members of my squad just stare at me nodding.

"I give you guys cool names like PoonNailer and Batarang and you give me the nickname CRIMSON?"

"Well..." Jenkins says quietly, "You wear those crimson glasses every day."

Why is there always a guy in a squad named Jenkins? And why is he always just ****ing dumb? Don't get me wrong, he's got a heart of gold... but he's a damned moron.

"Let's just go to work." I say, pulling back on the barrel of my gun and check to see that a hollow point is in the chamber.

With a swift kick to the door, we're in the arms warehouse takin' out towelheads.

Tell me you were expecting that. I might believe you.

Past tense?

 

[Eddie Brock]

Best Storyline: Feature's Onslaught has made us actually read the X-Men. I kid, of course - about the reading part, I mean. Professor "Doesn't Harm a Fly" Xavier killed Beast. Let that sink in for a moment, people. Now, consider this: that sick bastard isn't done yet.

Best Hero: Hard to believe that Thor was such a non-presence for so long once you've seen what NowufaceDoom has done with him. The dude preaches peace, but he'll smack you around with his hammer. Yes, that was an intended euphemism.

Best Villain: We got to see the depth of NowufaceDoom's Mister Sinister last Season, and isn't that really what makes a good character - especially a villain? We can't really understand where they're at if we don't know where they came from.

Best Multiplayer Character: This RPG needs villains, and I only wish I was more reliable in that department. However, such an utterance will never escape from the lips of Syn (Mercenary). We all know him for Blackheart, but Syn also brought us Kaine and Namor last Season. This time around, he's promising a mutant-hating Cable. Who's got the popcorn?

Best Developed Character: How many gay Russians do you know? I know that I'm only aware of Colossus, played expertly by Feature. It takes a lot of balls to play a gay character in a community that never gets enough ribbing of one another. Then again, I suppose it doesn't hurt that Colossus will break you if you say anything about him. Either way, Feature covered new ground with the Ruskie, and for that I commend you, comrade.

Best Rivalry: NowufaceDoom's Thor, SenseiofCheese's Heimdall, and the NPC'ed Loki made for an interesting rivalry triangle. It's good to see another manipulative villain besides Blackheart, and the effective NPC'ing of Loki made this possible.

Best Fight: The obvious choice is Matt Murdock's Scarlet Spider versus Venom160's Tarantula. Was there any other fight that was paced so quickly, executed so brutally, and concluded so shockingly?

Best Newcomer: Isn't SenseiofCheese new 'round these parts? If not, he's the newest person I know of, so this one goes out to him. Keep it up with Heimdall, and don't let me down with the Thing.

Best Post: I'm a sucker for well-written Spider-Man posts, and when you put Master Bruce in the driver's seat, that's exactly what you get.
http://forums.superherohype.com/showpost.php?p=14384677&postcount=1234

MVP: I feel like I always keep giving Venom160 this award, but the situation never really changes. He contributes just as much now as he did the last time I gave him this award, and he deserves it just as much.

Wow. Really? You liked that post?

I didn't think it was that great of an arc, but the fact that at least someone liked it makes me feel ten times better about it.
