[@Eru Iluvatar]: Unfortunately, I cannot accept Purple Man at this time.  According to the rules, all players must begin with a hero or a walking-the-line character.  You must first submit a character that falls under one of those categories first and then make at least three posts before you can apply for a villain character.  If you wish to play as Purple Man, I would suggest that you apply first for a hero/w-t-l character first and make at least three posts.  While I don't want to come off as a rule Nazi, but I have to stay with the rules I have put in place.  Also, so far I have let a couple villain characters be accepted as a hero/w-t-l character, so I will be hesitant to accept anymore like that.  Who will we fight if all our villains are heroes? 

Edit: Also, the Soviet Union does not exist in this RP.  It's 2012.  The USSR has been dissolved for 11 years.

Also, [@Nightraider], once the time stamp on your Taskmaster post has changed to 24 hours/ 1 day, you are free to post your CS in the Character Sheet tab and begin posting.
