Does anyone know how far from Latvaria Sokovia is?
They're both Eastern European from what I can gather and I was wondering how pissed Viktor got when that dust cloud rolled over the border. :p
I do believe that (as of right now) Sokovia is a fictional country that has only appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Therefore, Doctor Doom would not have seen any of the events of Age of Ultron because he is currently a loser hacker working for FOX. :D
Deadpool is still here, but he got bored of waiting so blew his own head off. It should be grown back just as soon as the next post comes up, so there won't be any delay getting a reply sorted out.
Unless he decides to do the thing with the pineapple again... oh god, please don't let him do the thing with the pineapple again...
Decided to put up an app for a new character. Still looking for an Iron Man player (any of the Avengers would be do, but I have a plan to accommodate the formation of the Avengers with only a Ms. Marvel player (me) and an Iron Man player).
Player Name: Dedonus Character You Wish To Play: Carol Susan Jane Danvers, better known as Ms. Marvel Moral Alignment: Good Affiliation: Solo, but eventually the Avengers Character Origin & Backstory: Carol Danvers was born in Boston, Massachusetts to Joseph and Marie Danvers. Even though she was the eldest child in the family, her father, Joseph favored his two sons, Steven and Joseph Jr. No matter what she did, whether Carol excelled at school or athletics, nothing pleased her father. It almost seemed as if he expected one of his two sons to carry on the family name. Even though his sons did not perform at the same level as Carol, their father still preferred them.
During her middle school years, tragedy struck the Danvers family. At the time, Joseph Danvers’ contracting business was barely staying afloat. One night, Joseph Sr. was driving Carol and Steven home after their father had drank his sorrows away after a dismal day of work. Since he was too intoxicated to be operating motor vehicles, Joseph Sr. caused a traffic accident. While the other driver luckily left the crash relatively unharmed, his son Steve failed to survive. Carol’s father could not accept the reality that his impaired driving caused the death of his eldest son, instead blaming Carol as the child who survived.
Ever since Steven’s death, Carol’s father descended into a spiral of despair. Now the bottle became his constant companion, even more so since the decline of his contracting career. Sometimes, when business was not faring well and Joseph has drank too much, Carol’s father would come home in a drunken stupor, capable of beating what remained of his broken family. While his two remaining children would occasionally feel the blunt force of their father, Carol’s mother usually was on the receiving end so that her children were not.
Carol’s abysmal life did not end there. Her junior year in high school, Carol learned that her family had only enough money to send one of his offspring to college and that her father had chosen her brother over her, in spite of her superior academic and athletic career. For her entire life, Carol had dreamed of the stars, wishing to go to space one day. She wished to become Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineer so that Carol could one day see the stars. However, now her dreams were crushed.
Or so she thought. But at what costs?
Powers and Abilities: -Kree-Human Hybrid: Through the experiments of the Brood, Carol Danvers is now a hybrid of the Kree and human species. These experiments raised her powers above the levels of any normal human or Kree. For instance, Carol inherited the Kree skin density, bestowing upon her near invulnerability. However, since she is a hybrid, she does not need an enriched Nitrogen atmosphere to breathe. -Superhuman Strength: Due to her enhanced Cree/Human physiology, Ms. Marvel is able to easily lift 75 tons (average). However, as she absorbs energy, Ms. Marvel is able to lift more weight, easily over 100 tons. -Superhuman Speed: Ms. Marvel is able to move at high speeds, easily above any levels a normal human could ever dream of. -Superhuman Agility and Reflexes: Ms. Marvel’s agility, balance, and reflexes far exceed that of any regular human. While concentrating, only villains with the fastest reflexes and truest aim will be able to land a blow on Carol. -Superhuman Stamina: Carol’s enhanced Kree-Human physiology allows her to continuing exerting herself at full effort for several hours. Her energy absorption ability increases the upper limits of her stamina. -Invulnerability: Ms. Marvel’s skin is able to withstand almost any soot of punishment, while her energy absorption defends her from almost anything else. Bullets bounce off her skin like nothing, while larger armaments fare a little better. Repeated powerful blows can wear her down, but weaker ones may sometimes go unnoticed. -Flight: Ms. Marvel is able to reach Mach 3 while flying. At lower speeds, she is able to maneuver in the air with ease. She is also capable of using her own body as a human projectile, ramming into her enemies with great force. -Photonic Blasts: Carol is able to blast photonic projectiles from her hands. Her energy absorption enhances the power of these bolts of energy. -Energy Absorption: Part of Ms. Marvel’s invulnerability is her energy absorption. While her body can absorb any form of energy, her body is especially efficient in absorbing electric, light, thermal energies and radiation. -Minor Molecular Control: Ms. Marvel is able to change her clothing through using her energy absorption powers. She is also able to switch between her hybrid and regular human form at will. These powers are easily used with the slightest amount of heat or light energy.
Sample Story Arcs: -The Sins of the Brood: Introduction Arc where the Brood kidnap Carol and perform their experiments on her. -The Rise of A Marvel: Carol adjusts to her new life as a human-Kree hybrid, using her powers to save Boston from countless threats. -Avengers! Assemble!: Pretty much self-explanatory! :D Still looking for an Iron Man character…
Sample Post:
Carol gently closed her bedroom window, making sure no one would hear her leaving the house. However, because of the ruckus that her drunk father was making a few rooms over, there was almost zero risk of her being caught by anyone because the click of her closing window would have been drowned in the shouts of her father. Mr. Danvers was not inherently a terrible father, but one who had been plagued by bad luck. Losing his son, coupled with his job, which was a major source of income for the Danvers household, would have caused anyone to spiral out of control.
Once outside, Carol turned away from the house and rushed out into the darkness. Before mass consumption of electricity and artificial light, darkness ruled the night. Mankind was not terrified at the existence of monsters, but rather by its curiosity and imagination. Monsters did not lurk in the night, but what if they did? However, once artificial lighting became universality consumed by humanity, the fear of the unknown dissipated. Unfortunately, the artificial light causes an effect that makes the stars in the night sky seem dimmer. Even going out into a dark field will not be enough if there is a neighboring city polluting the sky with light.
Even though the amount of artificial light did not make that night perfect for star gazing, Carol picked out the Andromeda constellation from the various stars twinkling in the night sky. While she could barely pick it out, Carol could discern a dim light, which was actually the Andromeda galaxy, located right next to the “knee cap” of the Andromeda constellation. While it is not the closest neighbor to the Milky Way (the Magellanic Clouds and a few other smaller galaxies are closer), it is one of the largest neighbors to our own galaxy.
Suddenly Carol was blinded by a blaring light. Has her father already found her? However, Carol deduced that it could not be her father because of the direction from which the light was originating. Instead of coming horizontally, somehow the beam of light was coming from above. Carol reached down to touch her hand on the ground, but she was bewildered to discover that her hand did not feel anything solid underneath her. In fact, when she looked down at the ground, she had already risen up several feet off the ground. Panicking, Carol flailed in vain as she tried to get back to the ground. Whoever (or whatever) was abducting her must have decided that the commotion that this Earthling was making was putting them in a vulnerable position to be discovered, forcing them to activate some kind of device that knocked Carol out cold. For the rest of the way up to the alien space-craft, Carol did not make another sound, nor did her limbs stir.
<Snipped quote by Dedonus> Not going for the Captain Marvel currently operating with the Guardians of the Galaxy then? :)
She's just starting out. I can't make her a Captain at the beginning. And isn't making her a Captain a demotion anyways? At least in the Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes Animated Series said that Carol had a higher rank in the military than Captain America.
I know some of you (but not all of you) have either gone missing over the last few months since this has started. I just would like a confirmation whether any one of you are still on board. I am planning to get some new recruits and I would like to know which characters are still open.
<Snipped quote by Sep> Yes, this is still going on. And yes, I would be fine with an early variation of the Hulk.
Cool beans, I'll start working on it now.
To be honest, comic wise I've read very little (I've actually only recently gotten into it and Spider-man was first, obviously, but I got a few ordered. Also I can't afford to buy every comic so I've been buying volumes). But I know my lore and the three different personas that can really interact/clash.
But yeah, I'll get to work. Also interaction, that was something for me before I need to check with people before doing so yes? I mean I don't want to intrude on their stories but I don't want to just run around doing my own thing all the time :P
W.I.P - I will tweak quite a bit of the origin though I used quite a few of the power descriptions from the Wikia as they describe them better than I can. I have toned down several things however, and going to play a lot on the psychological aspect. If anything right now screams "Lolnope" now tell me and I'll change it now.
Player Name: Sep Character You Wish To Play:Robert "Bruce" Banner / Hulk Moral Alignment: Bruce Banner - Heroic, he holds to strong Heroic Ideals. Hulk - WTL. He isn't a hero he just wants to be left alone. Affiliation: None, on the Run. Eventually S.H.I.E.L.D / Avengers Character Origin & Backstory:
Bruce (The Robert often being forgotten) was always an intellectual child. With a scientist father and a stay at home mother he had the capability for a regular childhood. However even then he was being set up with an alter Ego. His father was often abusive, memories that he would often repress and while that in itself isn't extraordinary it is what his Father was doing to him behind the scenes that was what created the Hulk. His father a brilliant science in the field of radiation was often exposed to it in his daily life. Shielding was inadequate and without knowing he would become irradiated, that radiation he would pass onto everything around him. However these doses were not enough to be of concern.
It was when S.H.I.E.L.D used his father to study an strange crystal that killed all those who came in contact with it. They felt that they could use it to become the next major weapon, however before they could perform any tests Bruces dad mysteriously disappeared with a copy of the material. Despite the man hunts he has never been seen since, and all that remained was the grave of his Wife and his now parent-less Son. He went on to study, without knowing it becoming a child prodigy of his father.
Years later he would go on to become the lead scientist at the very base his dad had once worked at, on the very same material that his dad worked on. Finally making a bomb it was ready for testing, however as luck would have it the science was not right. The yield far greater than to be expected the bomb blew up, and the blast radius extended to the facility where they were monitoring the test. Nobody is really sure why, be it through some bioligical freak miracle or something deeper Banner survived the explosion, waking up miles away with no recollection what happened.
Born on the day of the accident the Hulk and Banner have had a very strenuous relationship, to say the least. After being blamed for the explosion, due to the fact he survived, that claimed a military base Banner has been hunted. On the first occasion where the police caught him he is seen on Camera transforming into the Hulk and tearing the police vehicles to shreds, without killing anyone. They now believe they have the possibility of an even better weapon on their hands. Though Banner and Hulk have other problems.
Hulk sees Banner as puny, and just wants to be left alone. From the world, even from Banner. Despite the rage within him he often seems to be more at peace with most animals than with people... for whatever reason. Yet at the same time him and Banner are connected and to be left alone he cannot exist all the time so he often allows the transformation to occur only when Banner needs the Hulk to survive. Banner himself just wants to clear his name, and fears what the military could do with a power such as the Hulk. Having brief recollections of some of the feats, and seeing on the news, what he can do. He also wants to know what kind of relationship truly exists between the two of them.
It is an uneasy alliance, the balance of which is often tipped one way or another however with more and more heroes emerging it is time for the Hulk to find his place in the world, or leave it.
Powers and Abilities:
Super Genius-Level Intellect: Doctor Bruce Banner is a super-genius in nuclear physics, possessing a mind so brilliant that it cannot be measured by any known intelligence test. Banner is regarded by Tony Stark as the greatest nuclear scientist on Earth.
Self-Restraint: When Banner is the Hulk he can influence the Hulk's behavior only to a very limited extent.In a kind of "Hulk/Banner" hybrid. It is unsure on how much they can influence eachother currently.
Transformation: In times of great stress, rage, fear or anything that hormonally increases heart rate and increases physical abilities in normal human beings instead transforms him into the Hulk. However as he can transform in times of calm (later, not currently) this indicates that there is something physological as well as physical. Due to the reaction being often related to stress it is almost night impossible to physically wound him without the Hulk appearing.
It is not known how but when his rage subsides, or the "Hulk" relinquishes control or some unknown reasons the extra bodymass he gains during transformation is lost. As the Hulk his skin turns green and he turns into a 8'8", 2,400 lb goliath.
Strength: Hulk is best known for his strength that can affect his entire body. Though this is said to be almost unlimited due to varying factors such as the Hulks rage/stress/excitedness or indeed Gamma Radiation or Dark Magic fuels his strength. Though the physche of Bruce Banner can also affect the Hulk and can limit the Hulks strength, which is why the Hulk never actually kills anyone. Despite this the more enraged Hulk gets, the stronger he gets the less open he is to reason and the less coherent he is and the less he thinks about his actions. Which makes him dangerous, especially if he is against a certain target as he won't care about anyone/thing else in his way. - This also extends to his lungs that are able to inhale vast quantities of air (Though he hasn't figured out this yet). - Naturally this extends to his legs, allowing him to run great speeds for his size or jump vast distances.
Invulnrability: In addition to immense strength, the Hulk's body possesses a high degree of resistance to physical injury. The Hulk has survived tremendous amount of punishment throughout his career. The Hulk's skin is impervious to conventional blades, Adamantium and Vibranium being strictly the few known metals that can effectively pierce and penetrate his skin. However other beings of immense strength, such as Abomination or beings augmented such as the Hulkbuster armour can cause some physical damage. Strong blows to the head depending on his level of rage can also knock him out, and while he is usually impervious to gasses/tranquilizers sufficiently strong doses in high quantities can knock him out.
Regenerative Healing Factor: Despite the Hulk's high resistance to physical harm, it is possible to cause the Hulk injury. If he is caused injury it is possible for him to heal the wounds at great speeds, however he cannot regrow limbs lost limbs unless he is enraged to levels that he has not yet reached or is victim to a high enough dose of radiation. This healing factor is also the reason it is hard to use tranquilizers to knock him out as his body tries to counter the drugs, and does so rapidly.
Adaptive: It is possible for Hulk to faced extende periods of time in oxygen-less outer space/under water without suffocating, but he is also capable of speaking in these enviroments. However it is theorised that this is linked to his level of rage and he has yet to experience this.
Increased Psionic Resistance: In many instances the Hulk has demonstrated great psychic resistance as side-effect of his rage and the multiple personalities inside his mind. However it is capable, of using mental input to further enrage the Hulk or even enrage Bruce Banner to the point in becoming the Hulk.
Sample Story Arcs: - Menace or Hero? Hulk/Banner need to find a way to co-exist. - Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D - Currently reading these ones and I love the concept. - Avenger? - That's if you do this Arc I'd like to get involved in it. - Planet Hulk - Depending on if you plan to open up the cosmic realm this could be a possibility if he is cast out, and a way to tie in cosmic/earth based heroes together.
Sample Post:
Just keep it together Bruce. He let out a sigh, before breathing in again slowly. Opening his eyes. Cap low over his forehead he walked off the bus into the city. He was here to try and make his way towards the Future Foundation. They'd help surely, they had to help. He couldn't do this himself, that much was obvious and the military was hunting him. No the best option was to go to Oscorp. Norman Osborne was supposedly one of the smartest guys on the planet and had the resources to back him, yes he himself was smart but his expertise were limited largely to that off radiation everything else was... well. Not really his field.
This was at the point where he stopped really watching where he was going, jostled a bit to the left. To the right, someone was on front of him. Then he looked up and he was in an alley. Two people followed him in and he knew immediately this was bad. Breaking off at a run, keeping his breathing controlled. He stopped as he was facing a big guy, about six foot. Towering over him. One of them drew a knife. "Ooooh, somebody is wanting trouble." "No guys, I don't want any trouble. Why don't you just let me go and nobody will have to get hurt, all right?" He winced, he had said it. That was it, they'd see that as a challenge. "Oh, nobody will get hurt huh? Why don't we just waste this one? Thinks he's so big."
He screamed, part in fear part in pain as he felt the blade pierce his back. His heart rate elevated, and he fell to the ground screaming. Convulsing the thugs just looked upon him perplexed. They didn't hit him that hard did they? It was only a little blade, not meant to go very deep. That's when he looked up at one of them, his eyes turning green and his skin began to shift. "He's one of those mutant freaks! Get him!"
The kicking didn't help them, in fact it made things worse. All he could focus on, besides the pain was that he didn't want to kill these people. He couldn't lie, he didn't want to hurt them, but he didn't want them to be killed.
Bones snapped and moved, grinding against one another. Muscle mass grew as if out of nowhere as the thugs began to step back. The Hulk stood, the knife falling broken out of his back. He just breathed heavily, one of the thugs moved first. Pulling out a gun and shot Hulk in the back. He just turned absorbing the shot. Throwing a dustbin in their direction knocking two of them into a nearby wall, when the other three began to run he jumped, pulling himself via the building (and removing a chunk of wall) to get on front of them. There he stomped, the ground cracking enough that they fell into it...
[[If this is acceptable, this is where I'll start the IC.]]
