ULTIMATE MARVEL RPG VOL.2 SIGN-UP FORM
Screen Name: Eddie Brock
Character you would like to play: Eddie Brock aka
Venom
Powers and a brief description of the character in proper English: Naturally, the Venom suit has the ability to change its shape and conform to its user - granting him or her whatever is needed. As a result of the time spent with Spider-Man, the suit 'learned' how to use all of Spider-Man's abilities - even to the point of creating organic webs.
Eddie Brock Jr. suffered a tragedy as a young child. Unlike his best friend, Peter Parker, Eddie did not deal well with the death of his parents. Still, he managed to rise above and continue with his life. A student at ESU, he worked very closely with Doctor Connors. Eddie had been trying to recreate his father's work - especially the Venom suit, an attempt to cure cancer. After a fateful reunion with Peter Parker, Eddie found that his work had been stolen. It didn't take long until Eddie realized that Peter Parker, who was also Spider-Man, stole the suit and destroyed it. Luckily, Eddie had a backup suit which he donned to enact his revenge on Peter.
Three reasons why you have chosen that character:
1. Eddie is my namesake, and I chose it based on
this incarnation of the character. Making Eddie a former friend of Peter's was nothing short of a stroke of genius, and it opens up a whole new dynamic between Spidey and Venom.
2. With Gwarnage officially part of the continuity, I can't help but want to write (along with MM) my own version of 'War of the Symbiotes.'
3. I can't help myself. Venom is such a poorly written character in modern comics that I can see where complaints about him are coming from. However, I hope to write Venom the way I think he was meant to be, and hopefully that will make others realize his potential.
What can you bring to this game? Enthusiasm out the wazoo. I honestly didn't think I'd pick up a third character, but all this talk of Venom and symbiotes swayed me. Besides, I've never played Venom for any considerable length of time.
How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: As many as are needed.

Provide a small sample post for your character, about 4 paragraphs with at least one line of dialouge:
I need to feed soon. The hunger is burning in the pit of my stomach, tearing at my insides like a million tiny blades. Pain courses through my body in waves as the Suit is forced to feed off me for temporary nourishment. My skin is literally peeled from muscle tissue as the Suit consumes it. It won't be satisfied. It's
never satisfied.
Neither am I, anymore, it seems. My entire existence - my entire being - is devoted solely to the destruction of Peter Parker. For going behind my back, for betraying the memories and works of our fathers, and for trying to destroy the Suit, I must destroy him. And the Suit? Well, the Suit needs his DNA to survive. Without it, the Suit is reduced to consuming me. Soon, I fear there will be no Eddie Brock left.
So I feed. It buys me precious time. Once I have enacted my revenge on Peter Parker, I will allow the Suit to feed on him, and I will be free. I've spent many nights figuring out what I'm going to do when my crusade is done. For the past year, it's been my entire life. It will be strange living in a world without a Spider to squash. Still, I have my
own hopes, my
own dreams, and I'm entitled to them.
But for now, I must feed.
As I pass a darkened street corner, I spot fresh meat. Two men. One of them is considerably chunkier. I decide to set my sights on him. I approach, and the two men eyeball me suspiciously. They're huddled closely. A drug deal, perhaps? It's of no consequence to me. I can afford to think of nothing else - save for feeding. With a primal growl, I allow the Suit to take over. Before it closes over my eyes, I see the terrified expressions on their faces.
"NYAAAAAAAARGH!"
