Spud -The Kawaii Potato-
Lady Thor -Tarene-

VILLAIN

Free Agent (for now).

Tarene's parents were told by a Seer that they were going to raise a child who would become an Asgardian Goddess and travel across the realms fighting for truth and justice. In disbelief, her parents kept the message of the Seer as secret, they feared that their unborn daughter would throw herself into danger and unnecessary risks if she heard the story of the Seer. Several months later, Tarene's parents discovered they were expecting a child and finally they welcomed Tarene into the world.

For the majority of her life Tarene's upbringing was uneventful, borderline mundane, her parents disallowed her to partake in anything particularly dangerous, for fear the Seers vision would come true and she'd fall into harms way. Despite their best efforts, fate caught up with Tarene and the Seer who had warned her parents of her destiny, tracked down Tarene herself and told her, rather cryptically, that she would come to possess tremendous power and would fight great evils.

She allied herself with Thor, and despite her best efforts, she was not able to defeat Loki, Thor, who always sought to redeem Loki, refused to deliver a killing blow, or allow Tarene to deliver the killing blow. During Ragnarok, the Thor Clone attacked Tarene and she was badly wounded. Tarene was positive she'd failed her destiny and was going to perish at the hands of her greatest ally, he didn't just beat her, he absolutely destroyed her. Just before the THor Clone could deliver the final killing blow, the real Thor intervened, saving Tarene's life. She managed to escape to Vanaheimr where she spent many many years, terrified to return to Asgard after the events of Ragnarok.

Eventually Tarene dedicated herself to trying to find Thor, always believing he survived Ragnarok, perhaps tricking herself he was strong enough to face the end of days and walk away unscathed. She felt certain that Loki perished, having witnessed a fraction of the chaos he'd caused before she was able to escape. She began a journey through the 9 realms searching for Thor or clues about what happened to him, but her search for Thor was fruitless, she also heard nothing of Loki, further affirming her belief that Loki had indeed perished during Ragnarok.

Over time she began to believe that Thor too had perished and gave up her hope of finding him alive and well, it was then that she came across Thor's hammer. She decided to take the hammer, hoping it would aid her search to find answers of what happened to Thor, since her hopes of finding him alive began to diminish, but of course she had to figure out how to lift it. Having lost her powers during Ragnarok, Tarene is at a loss as to how she will pick up Mjolnir and regain her cosmic powers. Although she doubted her abilities, she attempted to lift Mjolnir regardless, in the hope that somehow her power has been restored. To her own surprise, the hammer budged slightly in her grasp. A faint glimmer of hope blossomed in her chest and with renewed vigour, she attempted to lift the hammer again and it swung up from the ground with ease in her grasp, her power once again restored.

She resumed her search to find Thor, hoping that somehow, possessing Mjolnir would aid her search. Eventually she decided to go to Midgard, not suspecting Loki to have (a) Survived Ragnarok and (b)Wind up on Midgard. She adopted the human name "Tara" as a disguise and attempted to blend into human society (and at first it failed absolutely terribly).

Still out of her depth, she's settling into human society and keeping a generally low profile, finally managing to hold down a job in an old bookstore where there is virtually no technology since she can't understand it at all. Recently she overheard a number of teens looking at the comics in the bookstore chatting about "Superhumans" and she asked where she could learn more, hoping that perhaps Thor is with these super humans.

She posses Mjolnir and thus inherits the power of Thor, so she can pick up and wield the legendary hammer and command thunder/lightning, rain and storms. She possesses tremendous strength and enhanced stamina and metabolism because she is an Asgardian Goddess. She heals quickly, hits hard and ages incredibly slowly and is immune to disease. She has the ability to fly, by swinging mjolnir and using the tremendous momentum to "throw" herself along with the hammer across great distances. She can use this method to travel between realms. Since Ragnarok, she has grown tremendously in terms of her power and her power is said to rival that of Odin's, perhaps she is more powerful than Odin at this point.


Story arc 1 (a.k.a. Renegade mode): Tarene discovers Loki is alive and hell-bent on revenge she attempts to kill Loki at all costs, regardless of the consequences. Blinded by rage she betrays her destiny to be the "goodie" who defeats a big-bad-evil and her only aspiration is to see Loki suffer, and suffer tremendously.

Story arc 2 (a.k.a Disney Version/Happily Ever After): Tarene discovers Loki is still alive and doesn't try to kill him (WOW!), instead she urges him to help her find Thor. Whatever happens next is dependent on Loki's reaction

Story arc 3 (a.k.a Best of Both Worlds): Tarene finds Loki and tries to kill him before Loki convinces her (whether he's lying or not) that he's turned over a new leaf and wants to redeem himself. She agrees to help him fight for a greater good in the hopes that she'll live up to her destiny.

Story arc 4 (a.k.a the only one where Loki isn't hugged or harmed): Tarene gives up her search, disheartened, and aims to just blend in in human society, however her destiny once again catches up with her and she finds herself picking up her hammer once again to fight a big bad evil.

Story arc 5 (a.k.a Season 2, Thor without a Hammer): After losing Mjolnir, Tarene suffers an identity crisis, with Asgard gone, her past and her future is erased, and now without the hammer she has no "fresh start" to cling to. She is stuck in limbo and begins a soul search which ultimately leads her down a dark path. Unwilling to forgive Loki, whom she blames for destroying Asgard (which is true) she also believes he is to blame for her downfall on Midgard. Now a wanted fugitive after escaping custody, Tarene has nothing left to lose and wants to take all she can from Loki ... starting with Midgard.

(this is from a 1x1 with a friend where I play Loki and an OC and she played Thor and another OC)

Disclaimer: While Sam Wilson is the current Captain America Steve Rogers still existed, and if anyone wants to play him I won't stop you. I'd find the interaction between the two interesting.


Player Name: Sep
Character You Wish To Play: Captain America - Sam Wilson
Moral Alignment: Hero
Affiliation: S.H.I.E.L.D - Avengers Founder
Character Origin & Backstory: Sam Wilson was the son of a Church Minister in DC. From a young age he was a volunteer, just wanting to help others. However after his mother was murdered at the hands of Gangsters life took a disturbing turn. He turned to violence and gang life, he tracked down the ones responsible for his mums death and killed them. He took to taking what he wanted, however in a way thtat never really had him cross the law. Just in a do what needed to be done kind of way, if he ever took anything it was from someone who deserved it (In some way or another). Which is what led him to military life.

He exceeded in every sense of the world, a great soldier. He was loyal, followed orders, and did what needed to be done without crossing the line and becoming a psychopath. He was so good he was transferred into Special Forces, where a mission in South Africa got him onto the radar of one Colonel Nick Fury, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D who had him transferred under his command. IT was during his time at S.H.I.E.L.D that his moral compass began to point in its original direction.

In the calm enviroment, where he could see the bigger picture and had to think about it he realized what he had done. He hadn't done anything terrible but he had done some bad things. He worked on changing that, he thought about the big picture. He worked on redemption, he didn't work against soldiers anymore. He worked against threats. Organisations like Hydra and Aim were different from working against foreign nations, these were people who were doing bad things for bad reasons. They weren't just soldiers following orders, they had chosen their path. He worked quickly, cleanly and efficiently and when life got weirder, so did he.

With the discovery of some of the original Super-Soldier serum, and the eventual complete and utter mapping of the serum. He was injected and augmented, while it wasn't enough to make him a rival to the original Captain America with the flight harness he was still just as dangerous and just as skilled and as such a New Captain America was revealed to the World on front of the White House. The Presidents promise to help keep the citizens of America (And the world) safe from all the wacky dangers that were presenting themselves these days. Since then he has continued working for S.H.I.E.L.D as Captain America, and has recently been given a very... serious project.
Powers and Abilities:
- Assisted Flight: As an Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D he recieved training in use of a rare flight system, essentially a jetpack with wings he became renowned in a new age of Governmental Super-heroes, this was prior to recieving the super serum.
- Super Serum: An original sample of the Super-Soldier serum that created Captain America was discovered by S.H.I.E.L.D, after running every possible test they could in order to re-create the serum. However then with an emergence of villains, and heroes. Fury decided the best solution was to give the serum to his most skilled, and trusted, agent. Sam Wilson. The serum gives him increased endurance, strength, slightly increases his cognitive abilities (nothing major, just makes him able to make snap decisions quickly) and also gives him a minor healing factor. Nothing akin to the Wolverine or the Hulk however if a wound isn't immediately fatal and is cared for correctly he will heal quicker than the average Joe. However, as he recieved less of a dose than Steve Rogers his augmentations at the hands of the serum are less than the original Captain Americas.
Sample Story Arcs:
- Avengers Initiative : This will be the one I start with. I will PM you with more details @Dedonus so nobody get too excited yet.
- Fall of S.H.I.E.L.D : Plan to make this one last longer than it did in Cap2 and change up the ending as well.
- Finding of the first Captain : If someone wants to apply as Steve Rogers, I think it'd be quite nice to keep both characters and have them meet after the first is unfrozen.
- Civil War : I think, cast permitting this would be a fun one to do. Something I'll always lead up to but not ACTUALLY do until the times right.
Sample Post:

"You have to be kidding with these choices sir." Wilson was in complete and utter disbelief. He believed in the program, however these candidates... were just terrible. He pushed a file forward. "This one, ex-criminal turned S.H.I.E.L.D agent, turned criminal?" He then pushed forward another one "This ones just a kid in a pair of tights-" Fury went to interrupt, however Wilson didn't give him the chance. "These last two, one isn't confirmed to be a hero or even powered and the other one is literally the god of mischief that can't end well." He sighed, before Fury spoke up again.

"You done?" Wilson just nodded. "I know you can handle these individuals and can shape them into a team, yes most of them are inexperienced, rookies even. Hotshots and lone wolfs but we need to pull them together-" He pointed to the screen behind him which currently shown the Hulks rampage in New York. "We need a team who can handle it when something like that or worse can happen. Also-" He pointed to the woman wielding the hammer. "That confirms that she is powered, and the other one is an unknown. Though she seems patriotic." Wilson just chuckled at that. "So did the people you sent Taskmaster to hunt down." Fury just kind of grumbled at that one, being pushed by the Council to do things never ended up with the best results.

"I'm not asking, you're the one who can lead this team. You have the leadership skills, the training and the capability to do it theres no doubt about that. Just think what will keep happening if superheroes keep going unchecked, eventually we're going to get given the order to hunt them down and start putting them in cells." He threw an additional file on the table as he walked out. "Also, if it wasn't clear. This is an order." Sam just laughed as the door closed behind Fury, before opening the file on the table.

"Oh Lord, not Barton."

Derek Chandler was in the Air Force Academy and ultimately flunked out after seeing what he thought was a shapeshifting green alien. In fact what he saw was a Skrull infiltrator spying on the armed forces of the Earth in preparation for an invasion to gain ground on the Kree Empire. One night, after following the man he believed to be the alien he'd seen before, Derek was abducted by the Skrulls who began operating on him while still in Earth's orbit. Fighting out of the trance like state he was put in, Derek awoke and was able to cause just enough damage to the ship and the two alien Skrulls on board to see the alien craft crash into the Nevada desert.

Surprised that he survived the crash, Derek was shocked to find his eyes had altered color and that he was a lot stronger and faster than a normal human now. Making his way to his only remaining relative in NYC, his older brother [38] Donald, the 21 year old Derek decided to give superheroics a go with several superhumans catching the attention of the public eye as of late. Taking inspiration from a pair of 3D movie glasses in his brother's vast DVD collection, Derek settled on a symbol to call his own and the alias: the 3D Man.

Powers and Abilities (What can your character do? What can't they do?): Derek now possesses strength, durability, speed, and stamina three times that of a normal human being. He can run as fast as 70 mph, but can attain short bursts of speed up to 90-mph. He can leap heights of up to 30 feet into the air. He can lift or press up to 1,400 lbs regularly. He also possesses a quasi-telepathic link to the distinct aura of the Skrull race, making him able to detect them in any form they assume. His brother calls Derek's power the 'Tri-Force'.

Sample Story Arcs: Give 2-3 ideas on where you want to go with your character.

The Power Skrull: Paibok is a captain in the Skrull army sent to deal with the 3D Man. The Skrulls' first attempt at a 'super' Skrull, Paibok possesses powers and abilities far beyond the basic shapeshifting of the green skinned aliens. Possessing flight, bio-electric energy blasts, strength and durability on par with the Thing, a hypnotic stare, as well as ice manipulation... he very well may be the one to take down the 3D Man.

Secret Invasion: Derek begins hunting down Skrull infiltrators in the form of civilians, 5th string heroes and villains, as well as somebody higher up on the food chain [TBD by myself and Ded].

Big Time: After establishing himself as a hero, 3D Man could become a member of the Avengers or perhaps something more like the New Warriors if there's enough younger heroes in the game. He'd get more of a super suit at this point as well.

Player Name: Natty
Character You Wish To Play: Robert “Bobby” Louis Drake, AKA Iceman
Moral Alignment: Hero
Affiliation: The X-men, The Amazing Friends,
Character Origin & Backstory:
Bobby was born to a fairly uninteresting family. Sadly his parents, as well as the majority of the rest of his family were extremely anti-mutant. Luckily Bobby remained free from the controversial views that many shared for mutants in the town for a large part of his childhood, due to him attending an Orthodox Jewish day school where he was taught about acceptance and generally the exact opposite of his parents, despite their shared faith. When he was 15, Bobby was forced to attend public high school due to his family not being able to pay for his school fees after his father lost his job. This meant that for probably the first time of his life Bobby was introduced to the harshness of the real world. He was constantly bullied for both his scrawny size, as well as his faith, causing him to stop practising in order to attempt to fit in.

Initially, he wasn’t aware of his mutant abilities when they first appeared, believing himself to simply be suffering from a cold when he found himself constantly shivering. After weeks of pestering, Bobby finally agreed to go on a date with a girl named Judy Harmon, although this was mainly in order to stop his fellow classmates from calling him gay if he didn’t. During the date, Bobby was attacked by school bully Rocky Beasely, and his gang, who believed that Bobby stole Judy from him. In an attempt to fight back, Bobby accidently ended up unleashing his abilities and freezing everything in the nearby area, including the bullies and Judy. It was then that two new people arrived on the scene; a bald headed man in a wheelchair, accompanied by a young man wearing bright red sunglasses. They introduced themselves as Professor Charles Xavier and Scott Summers respectively, with them claiming that they were both mutants. After they sorted out the situation with the frozen bullies, with Charles erasing their memories of the event, they proceeded to explain that they had been watching over Bobby for a few days now after detecting that he was a mutant, with them offering Bobby a place at their institution, as well as a member of their team; The X-men.

Worrying as to what his parents would think of him being a mutant, Bobby agreed on the condition that his parents were to be told that he’d be attending an ordinary prep school. Xavier agreed.

Bobby settled well at Xavier’s school, with him learning how to control his abilities, as well as undertaking advanced courses in a variety of studies. He became very sociable in this new environment, often taking on the role of class clown. He soon took on the moniker of Iceman, officially becoming a member of the X-men, alongside the rest of the students. Here he befriended a young woman named Angelica Jones, with the two bonding quickly. During his time with the X-men, Bobby regularly fought against the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, led by the Master of Magnetism himself. Bobby soon developed a rivalry with Brotherhood member John Allerdyce, AKA Pyro.

Due to her father being accepting of her mutation, Angelica soon encouraged Bobby to tell his parents about his. The confrontation didn’t go down well, with his family initially believing that he was simply coming out to them, a matter they also high disagreed with. To be honest though, their initial beliefs weren’t wrong, as Bobby also took this time to tell them that he was gay. Obviously they did not take the news well, with them naming their son a freak, as well as calling the police. Xavier’s arrival put a halt to the situation, with him once again having to wipe the minds of all of the people involved. Bobby didn’t mind as either way, he wasn’t ever speaking to his parents again.

After this event, Bobby lost his newfound confidence, sinking back into the sadness he had experienced back in high school, despite the support of him coming out from the rest of the team. After a trip to a science museum which led to the X-men teaming up with the Amazing Spider-Man in order to take down the Juggernaut, Angelica discovered that Spider-man was actually her old friend Peter Parker. With the two finally reunited, as well as her sensing that Bobby needed something to take his mind off of things, she introduced him to Peter. The three, despite Bobby’s initial reluctance, decided to form a team known as the Amazing Friends.

The regular crime fighting trips to New York greatly improved Bobby’s outlook on life, allowing him to return to his happier, clowning self. This happiness went on for months, with both Iceman and Firestar balancing their time between the X-men and the Amazing Friends. Unfortunately this came to an end when Peter retired after Gwen’s death, causing Bobby to focus more on his duties as a member of the X-men.

Upon hearing that Spider-man had returned to the streets once more, Bobby decided that it was time for he too to get back out there!

“Shouldn’t you be in bed, Mr Drake?”

Bobby dropped his spoon in shock at the sound of the old, British Professor, resulting in the chunk of ice cream he had been about to eat to spill across the table top. Recovering fairly quickly, Bobby scrambled to clean it up, attempting to scoop it up with the spoon, although he only succeeded in causing even more of a mess. Giving an apologetic smile to the obviously bemused Professor, he decided to give up, sitting back in his seat.

“Sorry Professor, I couldn’t sleep.” He sighed, his eyes scanning his arms for a watch. Remembering that he had left it up in his room, he looked back up. “What time is it anyway?”

Still smiling, Charles Xavier wheeled forward, moving his wheelchair up to the kitchen table. He was currently wearing a pair of silk pyjamas, which made Bobby worry that he had somehow awoken the man from his slumber. A wink from Xavier however told Bobby that the Professor knew what he was thinking.

“Don’t worry, much like yourself, I have been up late pondering too.” His reply calm and collective. “As for the time, I believe it is some time after 1am.”

Bobby gave the man a nod in return. A silence spread across the two of them for a few seconds, giving the teenager time to reach for his spoon once more and attempt to chisel off another chunk of ice-cream from the tub.

“I know what you’re thinking, Bobby.” Xavier broke the silence. “What happened today with the Brotherhood wasn’t your fault.”

Stopping in his tracks, Bobby once more let go of his spoon, leaving it suspended upwards in the ice-cream tub.

“I let them escape. What use am I against a guy who can fucking control metal? All I can do is freeze things and that doesn’t even do anything with fucking John being there! I’m useless! I’m a joke!”

His fists slammed down into the table, ice erupting from the points of contact. By now Bobby had risen from his seat, his voice raising in volume as he did so. Tears began to stream down his face

That was when he felt a comforting hand on his arm. Steadying his breathing, Bobby turned to find Charles sat in his wheelchair next to him, gazing up with a reassuring look on his face.

“Robert Louis Drake. Everybody likes you, Bobby. They always have. You’re a fun guy. Honestly, you’re what holds us all together.” Xavier took a moment to pause, moving back around the table once more. “Out of all my students, former and current, you have always had the most untapped potential. All you can do is freeze things? Dear boy, you have the potential to do so much more, you have no idea! Bobby, you need to stop looking into the past and begin looking into the future. With the world we live in now, we have no room for untapped potential.”

Bobby stood in silence as the Professor turned to leave.

“What should I do?”

Xavier stopped in the doorway, his eyes still ahead of him.

“Something amazing, Bobby. Nothing less.”

“Oh, is that all?”

Bobby withdrew back into his seat calmly, his mind racing through all that had happened. He looked again to where the Professor had left. Smiling he thought back to when he had first arrived at the Institute. Everything had been so new and scary. He had been so alone that first night, until he had found himself in a similar position to where he was now. Taking advice from the Professor while feasting on ice-cream. While so much had changed since then, it was nice to know that some things had remained the same.

“Amazing, huh?” Bobby murmured to himself, pulling his spoon free from the tub. “I can do amazing.”

Player Name:Sep, Again... don't kill me Ded.
Character You Wish To Play:Doctor Victor Von Doom
Moral Alignment: Villain/Hero (Point of view levels of complexity)
Affiliation: Latveria
Character Origin & Backstory:

Born Victor Von Doom as a Romanian Gypsy in Romania his mother was a sorcerer while his Father was an aide to the royal family. However everything changed after a monarch under his fathers care died due to illness. While it was no fault of his fathers they were forced to flee. He had already seen the worst of the country but now Victor being on the run saw a completely different aspect too it, and it disgusted him. However he was too young to truly understand and comprehend what was going on. His Mother trained him, as best she could for they faced many threats on the roads and there was something she had not told him.

On the eve of his tenth birthday, his mother disappeared. Currently camping in the wilderness there were no tracks, no signs that she had willingly left them or that she had been taken. She was just gone. His father never explained why, Victor suspected him in having a hand in it. The days turned into weeks, and into months. It was not until the dead of winter till Victor demanded his answer. Upon crossing a frozen crevice, the ice shattered and his father fell in. His arms grabbing on to the ice, Victor just turned to face his father and though he knew the best way to get his father, surveying the Ice and the way he had fallen in he did not move.

Confronting him, he demanded to know what his mother had been so worried about for she always had been when he tried to remember a time when she didn't seem to be looking over her shoulder. It wasn't until he began to slip that he confessed. He had talked Victors mother into signing a pact with Mephisto in order to take on Guardsmen who terrorized Gypsy camps throughout Latveria, however she discovered that for every guard she killed an innocent child in the village died. The compassionate soul that she was she renounced her power, Mephisto then appeared before her reminding her that her soul still belonged to him, and he would take it in his own time unless she decided to give him her son. She refused and Mephisto just vanished, that was until the eve of Victors tenth birthday where he kidnapped Victors mother.

Enraged at this prospect, that it had all been his fathers doing. He had given her the greatest burden to carry rather than trying to carry it himself, without thinking he let off a blast of dark magic shattering the ice and sending his father into the depths, where Victor presumes he died.

Alone in the wastes, he wandered on. Where near frozen to death he stumbled upon another Gypsy camp. Temporarily renouncing the name of Doom he lived a happy life. It was here that he met his first love Valeria and throughout his teen years the two were close. Learning magic from the few who taught it within the camp, and more importantly studying. Once he had started it could not be stopped, it was as if his mind had a hunger for knowledge. After all, when it came to saving his mother mere magic wouldn't do it. It was time to update himself and the country and bring them on part with the rest of the world.

On hearing about the up and coming genius, wishing to increase the reputation off their university he was offered Scholarship at the University of New York. This is where he met Reed Richards, who tried to befriend him however Victor refused. He even tried to construct a dimensional teleporter, when Reed pointed out a flaw in the design Victor in his arrogance refused to believe it. How could he afterall make a mistake? This was his technology and his designs. He knew the physics and the maths. So when it failed, and caused an explosion he blamed Reed for interfering in his experiment however the damage was done.

He was expelled for "unethical" and "illegal" experiments, despite the fact that boundries had to be pushed for the continuation of science. He did not see people complaining about the pretty boy and child prodigy Howard Stark, who quite often felt threatened by those who could rival him in both the fields of science and in terms of appearance so never hesitated to gloat about his wealth to Victor. This was made worse by his physical scarring, while minor made Doom hide his face. He was damaged, and the world had done that to him. Though he would make a new face, like he would make a new better world.

Hearing word of a group of Tibetan Monks who dealt in magical affairs he travelled to their temple, where after months of meditation they helped make him a metal suit of armour. The last piece he insisted upon, in order to become an ideal and perfect he needed his face to be concealed behind a mask. Rather than merely attaching it to his face he had it placed onto his face while still red hot. If his face had not been imperfect before it certainly was now.

Returning to his home country he saw a chance to make a difference. While many in the country did not like the current Baron or the Monarchy due to the tensions in the region he felt he had to be very careful in how he took power of the country. Through clever assassinations, with no tie to him, disappearances and people fleeing the country there was eventually just the Baron himself. Doom, instead of just killing him started a revolutionary movement, though always keeping a hand in the shadows. Riling people up in the right places, an ensuring that nothing untoward would happen to his movement.

Within two years Doom sat on the throne.

He cares deeply for his country, trying to do what's best for it and it's people. Revolutionising Robotics himself to patrol the country and keep it safe from external and internal threats (Some of those internal threats can sometimes be due to differing opinions) and using them as a prime export for other countries Latveria has been experiencing an economic boom like it never has, and in the background Doom is planning to expand his reach. To gain more power, to make this a perfect world.
Powers:

Magic
Doom has trained in the mystical arts for many years, since he was a child. His mother taught him the basics, and then after her passing he devoted his life in order to become more powerful in a bled of technology and the mystical arts. He could fire magical blasts, create force fields. He can also currently perform some basic enchantments however without more training these abilities while powerful are not as strong as many other Sorcerers who have spent more years perfecting their art.

However, do not mistake these for parlor tricks. These abilities can easily kill regular people, and make fighting him a bitch.

Technology
Something he has spent equally as long on as his magic arts is his mastery of technology, gaining himself a place within the ranks of Tony Stark and Reed Richards in terms of intellect (Though he himself believes himself superior). His armour is as strong as Iron Mans, and completely self sufficient. He is also capable of developing advanced weapons, and even robotic replicas of himself.

- His armour with or without magic is capable of expelling bolts of electricity.
- His armour can also generate a force field.

Abilities:

Super-Genius class Intelligence
As mentioned above he is on the level of intelligence off Tony Stark and Reed Richards. To date he has already created several advanced inventions, though mainly he has worked on his armour, shielding and weapons he has also worked on robotics creating A.I so sophisticated that his "Doombots" can be used as body doubles. Like his old rival Reed Richards he is also working on trying to crack Dimensional Travel, seeing it as the gateway into cracking time travel.

Doom specializes in physics, robotics, cybernetics, genetics, weapons technology, biochemistry, and dimensional travel. He also has natural talents for leadership, strategy, politics, and manipulation.

Diplomatic Immunity:
As the leader of a sovereign nation, Doctor Doom often visits the United States or the United Nations for political reasons. He enjoys diplomatic immunity during these trips, and his embassy is considered foreign soil.

Hand to Hand Combat
Through time, patience and training (That at times required no small sum of money) he has trained with some of the best swordsmen on earth and with various other instructors to become proficient in armed and un-armed combat.

Story Arcs:
These are just three concepts, I have more written down somewhere

-Politics: While he officially has diplomatic immunity (Unless he is called to court for War Crimes) there is still a lot of politics that he needs to get involved in. Which is difficult for a man of his position.

-Latveria Prosperity: Latveria while contested has little in way of natural resources, and Doom only ever strives to make the country better. How will he do this? Though not only does he need to think about the economy but he has to think about all the threats surfacing in the world.

-Heart of Doom: He once had love, how will she view him now?

-Dooms World: World Domination, duh. Though I think he may be stopped.

-A Mothers Love: Finally having the power he will travel to meet Mephisto to win back his mothers soul, however what price will he pay? How will she react?

-Death of Doom: When Doom has severe head trauma much of his past is forgotten, what will happen to this new Doom who only remembers his life as a student and a ruler and a complete personality twist makes him no longer strive to take over the world. Though part of him wishes to regain his memories, especially as some of his intellect has been lost during the injury.

-Throne of Doom: He took the throne, and disposed of most of the family. Most.

Sample Post:

"Do you have any proof though Director Fury?" Doom could smile under his mask, it was always at this moment where he had his opponent in his grasp that he enjoyed the most. Once again allegations were flying at him as S.H.I.E.L.D were inquiring about activities going on concerning the sale of his doombots. It was a political game, and one Fury was poorly equipped to play, though in the end how could he not be outmatched? He was against Doom after all.

"No we don't, Sir-" Such spite in the use of the word Sir. There was no respect in it, there was loathing and hate. Fury had played this game with Doom many times, Doom could almost feel sorry for him. However this was precisely why he refused to speak to anyone else except Fury when it came to dealings with S.H.I.E.L.D. Being the ruling monarch of a country had its advantages after all. "-However your robots are being used by several criminal groups-"

Doom raised his hand in a gesture to stop. "I'll have to stop you there Director. You know full well that I do not personally oversee every sale, however I can assure you that all our clients are vetted to ensure that they will not cause harm to any of our allies either in Europe or overseas-" allies, as if they were on par with Doom. "-Do you blame Tony Stark for when his weapons were used against U.S. Forces?"

Doom had him, and Fury knew it. "No but-" Doom raised his hand again. "I am sorry Director, however this seems entirely unfair and judgmental. Just because we are a fledgling country, you feel you can bully us around and sell only to you. However I will not stand for it, and if I hear off this again I will be sure to bring it to the attention of the UN when I meet with them, and on speaking about the UN I will require an escort." He could see that Fury was already thinking on what he could be up to. While to the public Victor Von Doom was nothing but a caring monarch several heroes who decided to poke their noses in his affairs often caught wind of some of his plans, though never enough to bring him to any form of trial as he had diplomatic immunity it would take a war tribunal to do so.

"An escort Sir?" The silence was broken.

"Yes, there have been several breaches in my perimeter and while I have been able to combat these threats outside of my borders where I have less control of the variables I require an escort who knows the lay of the land better than I to keep myself safe. Will this be suitable?" Fury almost groaned, he could tell. "Yes Sir, anything else."

"No thank you." With a wave of the hand the transmission was gone, and he turned to the table behind him where he was working on some of his latest designs. He had to be ready.

Character You Wish To Play: Anthony Stark – Iron Man

Moral Alignment (Hero, Villain, Walking the Line): Hero

Affiliation (what group/team/organization, if any, is your character affiliated with?): The Avengers certainly in the future, right now just Stark Technology as its CEO.

Character Origin & Backstory: In the idea of the original meaning, Tony Stark was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Though in this case it might as well been a platinum encased spoon with wi-fi and GPS capabilities. Tony Stark's dad is the CEO and the second generation of the Stark family to run Stark Industries. A weapons manufacturer who had a serious penchant for powerful equipment that was always on the cutting edge.

Tony never really knew his mother, as she passed away when he was little. His father though was a role model for him in every sense of the word. Martin Stark had a dry witty tone, loved rock music, especially the kind from the 70s and 80s, and even with his wealth was someone who was never stuffy to anyone. When Tony though was very little he developed a heart disease that made his heart slowly lose energy. Doctors told his father he had very little time left before his body could no longer even support itself. In a moment of almost mad scientist like focus. Martin Stark brought his son to the company headquarters, and after a week of non-stop work. Fitted his son with a energy reactor core that kept his heart moving sufficiently. Over the years since refining the technology to make sure Tony would be healthy and that any dangerous side effects were dealt with.

He wanted Tony to be raised right, and from day one had Tony attending public schools in New York City. Though when he was sent to the schools he was always reminded, to see the others who didn't have the money, the lifestyle he could afford. It wasn't about mocking them, it was about understanding where he is, and how that spot could help make their lives better. Even still though Tony had trouble fitting in and relating to people.

As Tony reached his second year of high school his father was leaving the house more to attend to business matters. Him and his son, who was by this point in his father's eyes outmatching him in intelligence. Created a artificial intelligence program to run day to day operations in both their lives and managing the house. The program was named Jarvis, and both the father and son immediately found an improvement in their lives with him. They especially had a laugh when Apple introduced Siri, those filthy copy cats.

Tony's life changed however when his father went out the Middle East to demonstrate a new high grade explosive. It was only going to be a three day trip but on the second night he was kidnapped by terrorist groups. After weeks of searching for him, Tony found out from Nick Fury's own mouth that they had found his father, dead.

Suddenly Tony Stark went from simply a kid to becoming the new CEO of Stark Industries because of his father's will. Originally drowning in his own depression Tony was willing to just let any of the higher ups in the company just take over operations and avoid it like the plague. However it was a chance visit to the headquarters that Tony started to see things differently. He was going in to fill out some paperwork letting Obadiah Stane, a long time friend of his father and one of the company's top executives, take over as CEO.

While Tony strolled through the company he saw things, things that knowing what his father had died for make him sick to his stomach. Bombs, guns, explosives, so many things of war, so many reasons he had to die. Tony turned and walked away before ever filing the paperwork, and the next day returned to claim his spot as CEO of the company.

On his first day Tony Stark announced the company would begin a complete overhaul of operations. Moving from weapon crafting to everyday electronics, and changing the name of the company to Stark Technology. At first people thought he was insane and delusional, and fears over someone so young taking over the company caused stock in it to plummet. However Tony had a plan, through an immediate advertising campaign that became the talk of the business world, buying up small start ups and giving them time and money to create, and careful reorganizing of positions without causing much lay off. In the first year Stark Technology rebounded, and now seemingly is looking to dominate the smart phone, television, and even video game markets in the coming years.

However Tony himself wasn't satisfied enough.

He still wanted answers, something that could soothe the burning in his soul over what happened to his father. Not to mention it was the fact that all those weapons still existed. It all fueled him to doing something about it. On his own time at home, Tony took some of the old firepower that the company was leaving, and began working. He originally worked on other prototypes and concepts before he found himself with a suit of armor. It used all the best and highest quality material and equipment money could buy. Best of all it worked on the same reactor core that his father made him all those years ago. In a year's time, a working prototype was finished, Tony Stark dubbed it 'Iron Man'. Now with only some private practice sessions to his credit, Tony Stark plans on a lot of quality time with his newest creation, if he has any hopes of ridding himself and the family name of the dirty warmongering.

Powers and Abilities (What can your character do? What can't they do?): Tony Stark himself is a simple person. Healthy and although has the reactor core in his chest, normal as normal gets. All of his power comes from the suit of armor.



Iron Man's abilities are constantly changing because of his constant technological upgrades on the armors. In general terms, he has super strength due to the build of his armor. The exact amount of strength is unknown, but it seems that he can lift and press over 100 tons.
The armor is very durable, capable of withstanding tremendous amounts of punishment. Tony Stark's armor has a muscularly aligned matrix of crystallized iron enhanced by magnetic fields over layers of other metals like titanium, which grants him endurance capable of withstanding high caliber bullets with ease. He can withstand rockets, torpedoes and such, although he does take damage. The armor also enables Iron Man to fly at high speeds, exceeding the speed of a jet airplane, due to the rocket propelled boots that are placed on the bottom of the armor's boots.

Iron Man's suit has many power sources, such as solar converters, electrical batteries and an on-board generator that uses beta particle absorption as a fuel source. The suit is also able to convert nearby energy sources, such as heat or kinetic energy into electricity, or even drain electrical energy directly into the batteries for recharge. Although the suit has some open holes to allow the wearer to breathe normal air, it can be sealed off, allowing the pilot of the suit to go underwater or into space by granting its own life support and limited air supply systems.

Stark also has equipped the suit with numerous weapons over the years, making the suit more powerful each time. The most often used weapons are the repulsor rays (magnetically channeled beams of super-heated plasma) that are fired from Iron Man's palms or gauntlets. Other weapons that are built into the armor include the uni-beam projector in its chest (controlling the full range of the electromagnetic spectrum from blinding searchlights to cutting lasers), pulse bolts that pick up kinetic energy along the way, so that they hit harder the further they have to travel, an electromagnetic pulse generator and energy shield, the generation of ultra-freons, the creating and manipulating of magnetic fields, sonic blasts, and a holographic generator to create decoys. Everything is voice operated as well as automated through specific commands and using JARVIS. Most importantly though the suit comes with a five terrabyte MP3 player built in. After all, when Tony Stark kicks ass, he needs his music.

Sample Story Arcs: Beginning the Avengers along with whichever Captain America is and SHIELD.

Finding out there was more to his father's death than just random kidnapping and murder.

With Sep's permission of course. When Hulk goes on a rampage Tony Stark uses his newest creation, the Hulkbuster suit. After all if he can't take down his science bro, who can?

Sample Post (This is used as an introduction to your writing – try to keep it to around three paragraphs or more and try to include dialogue):

Las Vegas, NV
Electronics Consumers Conference

“YEAH! KILLED IT!” Tony Stark put his hand up high as several other hands slapped it hard. The showcase presentation was a complete success. Already tech blogs were raving about the new handheld gaming system, plasma TVs, and smart phones with unbreakable plexiglass screens. Then again Tony Stark knew it was all going to be a success. Success was something he needed for the company badly. The company needed big smash hits to be able to rebound after the opening troubles. Sure Tony Stark knew the road as CEO of his family's enterprise was not going to be easy, but turns out investors REALLY don't like the idea of an 18 year old fresh out of High School not only running a major corporation, but completely changing said corporation's main supplies and image. Said young out of high school kid had a lot on his plate, and knew failure would mean the end of the now third generation ran business.

As Tony Stark got high five after high five, finally adjusting and loosening up the skinny black tie he had on with his grey shirt and black slacks. “Ah, man I tell ya, The Geto Boys said it best. Damn it feels good to be a gangsta!” Tony Stark beamed. “I'm fairly sure CEOs aren't people who should be quoting The Geto Boys.” Tony Stark turned to see the larger James Rhodes. A close friend of his father turned executive of daily operations after Tony put himself in charge. “Whatever, bunch of haters I tell ya.” Tony stated with a dismissive wave of his hand.

“Well either way Tony, we still have a few business matters left with the show before I would call it a complete success.” James Rhodes, for as much as Tony both liked and hated it, was always extremely attentive when it came to the details. “The show was great, but I think Stark Technology is really going to need its big thing to really put it over the edge.” Tony paused after getting a can of soda from a catering table to glance back at James. “Wait hold up seriously? I know I wasn't the only one who heard the crowd screaming like pre-teens at a...” Tony Stark realized he didn't realize who was the big it singer right now. “Whoever the Hell concert these days. Beiber still right? No wait uh whatever point is they loved it. What the Hell kind of big thing are they talking about?”

Quickly Tony Stark pulled up his smart phone, instantly seeing that while a lot of sites were praising the presentation and items the company had planned. There was a consciousness against a really big item to put the company on the map. Tony's joy had dampened a bit as he flipped through the twitter posts, facebook posts, everything on the web about the show that all seemingly said the same thing. “What the Hell? What did I need to juggle chainsaws while humming AC/DC to make these people happy?” Tony sighed irritated before a thought dawned on him. “Wait! I might have it. Rhodes schedule a press conference at HQ. Next week, early afternoon at the best. They want a showstopper? I'll give them a showstopper...”

Player Name: Angel Vicky
Character wanting to play: The Goddess of Fidelity, Sigyn is THE VALKYRIE.
Moral Alignment: Hero
Affiliation: SHIELD and the good guys.
Character Origin and Backstory:
Valkyrie is a heroine who has hosted many spirits, those amongst them being Brunnhilde the Warrior of Asgard and Amora/the Enchantress to name but a few. This time around the Valkyrie plays host to the reincarnated Goddess of Fidelity, Sigyn. Daughter to Freya, Niece to Gaea. And eventual Wife to Loki and Mother of his children. Born into the vassal of who would have been the mortal Samantha Parrington.
SIGYN’S PAST LIFE

The Gods, so moved by her unwavering loyalty, endurance and determination right up until the end of days, the Ragnarok, decided to grant her a second chance on Earth. There she would be their Messenger, their Warrior of justice and their Hope of continuing on Asgardian legacy.

During her time on Asgard, before she perished along with most Asgardians, she was a captivating beauty and all-round animal lover. She loved to sing Asgardian songs in her angelic voice, she cared for war orphans and she healed injured soldiers. Although, born a Vanir, she was desired by many Asgardian men, and even the God Loki himself. Instead of refusing his advances, she accepted Loki’s affections instead as she was only arranged to marry Theodric but did not love him. After all, who could resist that charismatic grin? Therein begins her undying love and loyalty to the God of Mischief. And she there she would stay with him until the very end, even enduring his cruelness and tragedy. That is when Odin gave her the title - the Goddess of Fidelity.

Just before the coming of Ragnarok, Gaea entrusted her to protect the Younger Gods. And during this time is where she befriended Amora, the Enchantress. Amora sought to manipulate her into helping taking Lady Sif out of the equation so that she could be with Thor instead. Upon realising, Sigyn refused to betray her sister in arms Sif. And so Amora became her sworn enemy.

Alas, she remembers nothing of her past life, centuries ago. She only catches mere glimpses at a vague past life through a dream state or occasional visions. Her new life is on Earth now.

THE VALKYRIE - A NEW LIFE

The Gods watched as a human baby girl emerged into the world – to the Parringtons. And as their chosen name for her lay on the tip of their tongue, before they could name her Samantha, the Gods intervened all they heard was all they heard was Victory, Victory, Victory. The name Sigyn meat victorious and thus her name was chosen to be the same in Latin. They spoke the name Victoria… and instead of retaining her golden locks, her hair turned darker to like that of Sigyn’s.

Born to wealthy family of eccentric philanthropists, the Parringtons, and good friends to the Stark family. The young Lady Victoria dedicated her spare time to charity along with her parents. As a child she always had a strong sense of justice. At her parent’s dismay, she wanted to join the police force at a young age to tackle drugs and crime; she had a decent enough IQ too. So the first chance she got she studied criminology and psychology to be able to get into investigation and after schooling she entered the Police Academy as a teenager. It was there she found something strange, being that her flesh was 3 times as dense as a humans but it had never been tested until now. She possessed extreme endurance, she passed all physical activity with flying colours, and nothing fatigued her for an hour or so; she was very good at fighting off men twice her size and held her own, despite her feminine physique. It wasn’t long before she was moved to a Special Ops division in the British government (MI6) where only the most experienced combat agents go. She went undercover, busted drug lords, and cleaned up the streets. She loved her job. Nothing could compare to the thrill of the chase and being in close proximity of death. It was then that SHIELD picked up on her special skills.

Under SHIELD’s wings, she grew as an agent and her sense of justice growing with it. She got on well with the female and male agents alike she’d never let any man touch her, she’d developed trust issues with men that she just could not explain, and the only man she could trust and depend on was Captain America.

Very quickly SHIELD noticed that she never came back with a scratch. And when she was shot for the first time and healed completely by the next day, they pulled her in for a full examination. Everything about her, human. No X-gene, no nothing. She just assumed the government had enhanced her somehow, of hearing stories in the past with super soldiers. But they did nothing of the sort. She was born with her ever growing powers. And day by day she grew stronger until 2011 she fully discovered she was not entirely human…as an entity inside grew deep within her…

Her shoulder blades burned and she was tired every single day as if she’d not slept all night. Unbeknownst to her, that at night whilst she slept, her subconscious Asgardian spirit awoken. The Valkyrie appeared, only ever to be seen at night, watching over the city with brilliant white wings of light emanating from her back. This caused rumours - “do Angels walks amongst us?” in the tabloids. She paid them no mind until SHIELD showed her CCTV footage of her bedroom. There lay her sleeping physical body and, as if sleepwalking, awoke and stood up. Somehow, her nightdress magically transformed into silver plated armour and a sword (Dragonfang) appeared in her hand. At this point she didn’t have physical white feathered wings that flew, only two wings of spiritual light glowing sprouted from her blades. And the only thing expressed from this entity was sadness on her face and a single tear, yet still every bit as graceful as a flower.

It was then decided she needed specialised training at SHIELD with THE Captain America, Black Widow and the other SHIELD operatives.
And the Gods thought it was time to unleash the full might of their chosen Valkyrie…

Powers and abilities:
Asgardian – she has the same powers as Sigyn’s magical spirit healing properties and can give her life force to others. She has some tarns-mutational powers similar to Loki; she can transform into her armour and summon her weapons from the Ether like he can. She also has conventional Asgardian attributes such as super human strength, agility, vitality, resistance to injury and disease, also with the added Valkyrie iconic wings to aid her (as she doesn’t have the winged horse to ride in Midgard!)
Resurrection - Like all Valkyries, she can perceive and sense the coming of Death. She can see a "deathglow" surrounding a person who is in serious danger of dying, although most Asgardians and humans cannot see the glow. A person surrounded by the deathglow might still be saved from dying. She can transport herself and a dying or dead person from the Earth dimension to an other dimensional realm of the dead, just by willing herself to do so. She can also return through an act of will.

Weapons:
-Dragonfang: The blade was fashioned from a tooth of an extra-dimensional dragon. The sword was bestowed upon her by the Gods. Sword Attributes:
-Indestructible.
-Magic absorption: Dragonfang absorbs force when comes into contact with blood.
-Capable of destroying mystical barriers: Dragonfang is actually capable of shattering mystical barriers.
-An iron spear and heater shaped shield; instead of the Viking like round.
Her swordplay is of Asgardian style and her prowess is only matched by that of Lady Sif, she can lift 45 tonnes compared to the average Asgardian who can lift 25t.

Weaknesses:
Loki. She is soul bound to him no matter what, destiny and fate – can they really be changed?

Trust issues: She finds it hard to trust people, especially men. Constantly feels she has to take care of herself and she feels great loneliness.

Heartbroken spirit: She pushed any potential love interests away in the past, in the fear they'd break her heart. But you cannot break a heart that's already broken. Maybe a new cause and adopted SHIELD family can help to mend it.

Visions: She can become trance like state when having a vision of the past or even the future if the Gods wish her to see the people that need saving. She is their Saviour.

Sample Story Arcs:
A team grouping/Avengers Initiative etc: I would be very interested in teaming up, as Valkyrie was a part of the Lady Liberators and the Defenders.

Thor/Loki/Asgardian lore: although she does not remember her past life, she would still find it a comfort to be around Lady Thor’s presence, being of the same kin. Depending if Thor/Loki do want her to remember the past, then she would hope Loki has turned over a new leaf as her loyalty to him has never once wavered. Might find it hard to trust him though.

SHIELD/Cap America/Hawkeye: Can help carry out SHIELD missions, have friendships form with Cap and Hawkeye, taking down any baddies that require general thrashings and the like.

The Hulk: Valkyrie's family try to help the Hulk in the comics and she was also used to fight him. Valkyrie can hold her own against him, so she could form a bond of trust with him and be able to talk him down. A potential 'Beauty and the Beast' maybe?

Sample Post:
DAY OF RECOKONING - “I've been having these weird thoughts lately...” Sora, Kingdom Hearts.


“I look ridiculous.” Valkyrie stares at herself in the mirror, unamused.

“I think it’s quite cute.” Maria Hill responded as she came to preview her colleague in her silver plated Valkyrian armour for the first time. Adorned fully over her arms and chest but with black spandex bodysuit underneath; leg plates only going up half way the thigh. It was too skimpy for her liking and uncomfortable to say the least.

“I look like bloody Xena Warrior Princess…” Victoria scowls in her British accent, removing her winged metal helmet, holding it to her side and turning to Agent Hill. She sighs and gazes the floor. “How can anyone take me seriously in this thing? I look like I'm going up for sexiest medieval knight - swimsuit edition.”

Maria chuckles, she forgot how witty her new found agent friend could be. “Oh dont be so worried. We can always change it to suit you. But YOUR own subconscious conjured up this thing, remember?” She pointed out as she took the helmet from Valkyrie's hands. “Yes and now I cant UNconjure it.”

“Have you decided on a name for yourself yet, V?” Maria asks as she began to help her out of the armoured plating that seemed to detach easily.

Victoria lifts her eyes up pensively. “V....” Her nickname. Everybody called her it. “V for...Valkyrie.” She knew that was the one. “I look like a Norse angel of death.” She expresses as she looks hers legs over, by bending her knee up slightly.

“Oooh dont say it like that, it's scary.” Maria shudders at the 5'8” woman as she helps remove her other bracer.

“Is it wrong..that I want people to be a little scared of me? Otherwise how are they going to address me, Maria? 'Hey baby, sweetcheeks, dollface how bout you show us your backstroke?'” Victoria mimics a sexist male with sarcasm as she rolls her eyes, unbuckling the main belt piece.

“You'll get a lot of that off men because you're very pretty.” Agent Hill puts her hands on her hips. “I get it ALL the time, until I punch them in the gut. That tends to make them shut up.”

“I can see why Director Fury likes having you as his wingwoman, Agent Hill.” Victoria smiles for the first time in a long time. A sincere, warm smile that could comfort just about anyone.

“He sure does. He's confident when tough lil' cookies like us have his back.” Maria smiles back, she herself rarely smiled. She took herself way too seriously. It seemed she and Agent Parrington had much in common. “Hey y'know what...I dont usually go out much but I say we have a girls night out. What do you say, Valkyrie? Has a nice ring to it.”

Victoria's eyes light up, but then quickly dims again. “But I'm not allowed out of SHIELD HQ yet am I? They still don't know what I am...imagine if I blew up a building with people in it or something weird..” She walks over to her dressing table and plonks herself on the stool.
“I'm sure you wont.” Maria reassures her. “On purpose.” She had to add, as a joke.

Victoria looks up at her, almost horrified. “It was a JOKE, okay. Dont worry, I'll square with Fury, we'll have an escort in case anything DOES happen, and maybe Natasha can accompany us and we can just forget about men for one night.” Maria continues to persuade her with a wink.
V could feel a sense of mischief welling up inside, she just could not refuse. “Alright.” She grins.
----
Later that night, Victoria, Maria and Natasha were painting the town BLACK. Maria and Natasha both in little black dresses, Victoria had a more modest white dress. It was in the nightclub downtown that the would be Valkyrie had to shut herself in the bathroom. Her shoulder blades were burning hotter than ever before, rendering her completely useless. Writhing in agony against the marble floor, her blades bulging. She heard her dress slowly ripping. She tried to hold in her cries of pain as she felt something emerge from her back, a feathery sort of touch.

Watching blood trickle down her sides and drip onto the floor. She knew something was very, very wrong. Her tracker had not moved for an hour, Agents Hill and Romanov try to find her, eventually leading to the locked bathroom and a very long queue of girls that Mother Nature called upon. They bang on the door. “Victoria? Are you in there? Are you okay?” Maria yells through the door over the deafening death metal music. Natasha sighs at her then kicks the door in.

There they find Victoria holding up her bloodied white dress around herself, and what looked like brilliant white angel wings. “Oh my god....” Maria gasps. SHIELD immediately retrieve her from the building and return her to HQ.

As she sat in the medical bay with wings sprouted, and adorning a medical robe, she stares at the floor in shock. She just didnt understand. 'Sure could use Cap's inspiration right about now...' The agent thought. “Maybe I really AM a Valkyrie......” She lifts her head up slowly, her bright blue eyes glowing with whispy energies never seen in any mortal. “God. Why are you doing this to me...?” She weeps to herself.

“My Child, do not relent.” A hazy apparition of a Goddess appears before her adorned in a golden long draped dress. It was Freya. Victoria gasps, she didnt know if it was real. “You have been chosen by the Gods, as our Salvation.” Freya's voice whispers gently through the air.
“Who's salvation..?” V leans toward the woman and before she could get an answer the image disappeared. “WHO'S SALVATION?!?!” SHIELD agents watched her screaming at nothing and falling to her knees in emotional turmoil. “I think we have another one for Wilson...” Voiced director Nick Fury who was sat in on the viewing, throwing her confidential files onto the table before leaving the room.

Victoria threw her face into her hands, her long wavy hair fraying out around her shoulders and wept. “I'm a monster......”

Character You Wish To Play: Reed Richards – Mr. Fantastic

Moral Alignment (Hero, Villain, Walking the Line): Hero

Affiliation (what group/team/organization, if any, is your character affiliated with?): Leader of the Fantastic Four

Character Origin & Backstory: When Reed was born he already had a legacy, albeit it a short one, that would've been daunting for most others. Reed's father was Nathan Richards, a brilliant scientist who had written numerous books and documentaries on space and the concepts of everything around it. His mother Helen Richards though also had many scientific degrees in various fields. Even with all this however, Reed showed even early on that he was capable of being smarter than any of them. By the time most kids were just going into pre-school Reed already had the knowledge that could put him into High School. Even still though his parents wanted him to learn patience and humility, so they had him go through the school years and never leap ahead any grades, despite numerous people at school insisting he did.

When Reed however reached the age of 14 everything changed. His father was working on design concepts and small scale experiments on something he proudly told Reed 'would change everything'. However after one resulted in a miniature black hole that nearly sucked him in before he was able to shut it off. Nathan Richards canceled and abandoned the project quickly. He started using his time and stature in the scientific world to make sure that the very leaps and bounds were handled responsibly worrying that one advancement made too quickly could be apocalyptic in its sheer danger. It all led to him however finding out about experiments being done in Latervia and by one Victor Von Doom. The leader of the country was creating something Nathan Richards worried could lead to even more destructive danger than his own experiment. One night he went into Reed's room before his bed time, kissed him on the cheek. He told him that daddy had to go do something important, and that no matter what he loved him very much.

That night was the last time Reed has ever seen his father.

Seemingly Nathan Richards vanished off the map. Never telling anyone where he went made finding him all but impossible. Reed though in his grief finished everything through High School in a depression fueled rage. Getting a G.E.D. Diploma that he doesn't even keep out anywhere out of shame. As he knew later after a talk with his mom that he couldn't let what happened affect him. Still Reed found himself in a deep slump of sadness that he couldn't shake. His dad meant a lot to a lot of people, but to Reed he was a superhero. Someone he didn't have to look up too because he was right there, always with that smile, and that belly laugh that always made Reed himself laugh.

By chance the New York Comic Con was coming up, something the more geeky side of Reed loved attending every year since he was very little. Worrying about Reed, she had Reed's long time friend. The equally geeky Benjamin Graham, take him on a weekend trip to the convention. She got them hotels next to the convention center, and gave Reed plenty for goodies and food. Still by the end of the first day it didn't seem like it was working, Reed just mostly stayed in the hotel room, watching TV as Ben had to seemingly beg to even get him to go out for dinner that night. However the next day Reed finally went, more to shut Ben up than anything else. However during the day when he was sulking along he saw something radiant. The girl his age was simply stunning, even without considering the lovely costume she was cosplaying in. Reed's heart thumped harder and harder at the sight of her. Ben realizing what was happening played wing man and quickly got Reed to go talk to her. Her name was Susan Storm, and the two couldn't be detached from one another for the rest of the weekend.

Shortly there after Reed was approached by her father, another renowned scientist in Dr Franklin Storm. Reed knew about and admired his work (Having not really previously connected the dots on Susan being his daughter), and was surprised when Dr. Storm asked him to join his think tank program The Future Foundation. Reed was flattered, but as of yet hasn't had any idea what project he could do with them.

Powers and Abilities (What can your character do? What can't they do?): Reed's body has undergone a metamorphosis where in his body essentially allows him to be completely and utterly flexible and elastic. He can stretch his limbs from toes to fingertip upwards of 3 miles but with practice that number can certainly raise. He can also reform himself into things like a ball shape to bounce around in, stretch individual limbs like fingers and toes, inflate himself or deflate himself flat, along with countless other feats that are hindered by his imagination alone. On top of this his body structure has changed completely. No longer supported by a skeletal structure, Reed's body has an almost harden gel like substance supporting it, as well as no longer a stomach but instead a unique bacteria sack that allows Reed to survive off of oxygen alone.

Reed though personally considers his biggest 'super power' to have always been his intelligence. Quite simply Reed Richards could very well be the most intelligent man on the planet. Having gotten top studying in astrophysics, biology, bio-engineering, and countless others.

Sample Story Arcs: Give 2-3 ideas on where you want to go with your character.

After the big project, the teleportation device his father was working on, fails spectacularly. Reed finds out one of the people who was working on it has mutated for the worst, a strange monster like creature that buries itself underground and produces mole like monsters a sexually. Finding out about him and having to fight its now mindless form leaves Reed depressed and blaming himself, on top of what happened to himself and the other three.

Reed along with the rest of the newly announced Fantastic Four begin to put the pieces together about where his father went and what happened to him, which leads them to a certain castle in Latervia.

(This one with Kid Lantern's permission of course) After their constant struggles and disappointments against 3D Man, The skrulls decide to use the Fantastic Four as the base for a new Super Skrull prototype. However when they get DNA samples from the four it causes the heroes' powers to go haywire, and result in the curious side effect of being able to exchange powers with one another through physical touch.

Sample Post (This is used as an introduction to your writing – try to keep it to around three paragraphs or more and try to include dialogue):

As Reed Richards could faintly hear sounds coming from all around him, the bathroom where his roommate for the weekend Ben Graham was singing Dinosaur Laser Fight, the traffic outside that is distinctive for New York City morning rush hour, and the dull sales person on the tv. Reed just quietly sighed to himself as he stared up at the ceiling while laying practically motionless in bed. Sure he had on clothes and had been awake for an hour or so, but he just would've rather gone back to bed.

It had been some time since his father told him good night that last time, before vanishing to who knows where and if his even alive there. As intelligent as the young man was he couldn't stop repeating questions that had no logical answer. The biggest one of all though was why, why did he leave? Was it something Reed did? Was his mom and dad not getting along as well as they were making it out to be? Reed's brain was wrecking itself as Ben came out of the bathroom. A light misting of steam coming out with him as he had changed into some fresh clothes. The large, muscular guy in a Jets jersey and jeans took his fingers through his blond buzzcut hair before glancing over at Reed.

“Hey Reed man you're awake!” Ben started into with the chummy Brooklyn accent of his. “Listen man come on its going to be great today, they're doing some giveaways today, and man the booth babes. Dude the booth babes are amazing this year let me tell...”

Ben paused, a bit disappointed as he watched Reed silently roll over in his bed putting his back to his friend. “No its fine, just go ahead man I'll catch up later.” Reed softly said with a sigh as he hoped Ben would leave.

“Reed...” Ben had to hold back his irritation before he walked over to his bed and sat at the side, facing Reed. “You told me that yesterday and you didn't do it. Hell I had to make you come have dinner with me last night. Look I really liked your dad too Reed, he was a Hell of a guy. But... come on man everyone is worried sick about you. This whole weekend was to give you something special. Bro I'm not just going to let you sit here and wallow away like this. That's not the Reed Richards I know.”

Looking out the window of the hotel room Reed grimaced, he knew Ben was right but there was still that part of his brain, that nagging feeling that told him he still didn't 'get it'. Still Reed had to fight it and hold it down as he shut his eyes for a second. He finally turned over, “I uh...” Reed had to force it out. “I guess...”

-Later-

It took some time, as it felt like Reed was just using small inconveniences and annoyances to just justify not wanting to be there. However Ben was prepared, and had to get Reed back into the right geeky frame of mind. It started with some panels where Ben was able to get autographs for Reed of some comic book writers and artists. Going through the booths Ben helped find Reed some figures that he was looking for. Slowly Reed was giving a faint grin, just letting himself get back into things again. It still hurt, but he saw how hard Ben was trying and if nothing else it was providing a nice distraction.

“Alright alright Ben seriously now, I think you know better than to doubt Captain Marvel.” Reed shook his head having to hold back a laugh.

Ben chuckled, not just because of their discussion but frankly he saw some people nearby give a slight cowering to his presence. There was something fun about looking like a jock and scaring people who would be impressed by the engineering and robotics knowledge he actually possessed. “No man Superman could totally take him, Captain Marvel is just a kid playing superhero.”

Reed smirked, his hand having to hold up his head a bit. “Yeah and that's what makes Captain Marvel more awesome.” Reed and Ben continued to have their argument, one that had been made in the past and will continue with the two until their too old to even remember comic book characters. Reed always enjoyed it though, it was that kind of thing you could never justify with anyone rationally.

As the two continued on, Ben was trying to raise a point about Superman's endurance or something like that when Reed suddenly found himself unable to even hear him. It was due to someone nearby, a cosplayer who had her mask off and was talking to someone else. The girl though was... Reed just couldn't look away, it wasn't even the Hawkgirl costume she was wearing. It was just her. She just had Reed's attention and wasn't letting go.

“...so what I'm saying... Reed? Reed!” Suddenly a hand on Reed's shoulder sucked him back into the real world where Ben looked on confused for a moment. Finally though he looked over at the girl and back down to Reed, quickly picking up the social situation at hand with a grin. “Oh I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were a bit preoccupied.” Ben said as Reed felt his cheeks start to turn a harsher peach tone.

“I wha no no no I mean no she's just got a nice costume!” Reed stammered out a response even he had a hard time figuring out after the fact. Having to look away to try and figure out quickly how stupid he sounded.

Ben chuckled a bit, patting Reed's shoulder again. “Sure buddy, it was just the costume...” Ben saw how Reed was getting very embarrassed but also saw an opening. “Why don't you go talk to her?”

Reed's eyes shot open wide as he glanced back hastily, “I what? No I don't even know what to say! I'm just going to look stupid.” Reed figured as much, the only other time he tried to talk to a girl like this was asking someone to prom. It ended about as well as Reed figured seeing as how she laughed thinking it was a prank set up.

“Here come on Reed if you're so concerned I'll help.” Suddenly Reed felt Ben's large hand grip his wrist as he started pulling him towards the girl. Leaving Reed panicked, excited, and feeling like he was about to vomit all at the same time. He tried to get Ben to let go having to shuffle his feet in his forced movement but all hope faded and he soon found himself face to face with something amazing, and with nothing to say.

“Hey whats up? Sorry to barge in but I'm Ben, this is Reed. Here Reed say hi.” Ben had given him the opening, Reed felt his heart rushing in his body like it was bouncing all over the place. All the knowledge he possessed, all the smarts he had and will ever have. None of it prepared him for this, the brief pause felt like an eternity as Reed had to muster up his courage. Here goes...

“Uh, hi!”

Player Name: Angel Vicky
Character You Wish To Play: Susan Storm - The Invisible Woman of Fantastic Four

Moral Alignment (Hero, Villain, Walking the Line): Hero
Affiliation (what group/team/organization, if any, is your character affiliated with?): Fantastic Four, Reed Richards

Character Origin & Backstory: The oldest child of renowned scientist Dr. Franklin Storm, Sue Storm inherited her father's genius. From early childhood, she was one of the prodigies studying and working at the Baxter Building, a midtown Manhattan government research lab. Following her father into physics, at age eight she built a sugar-powered rocket and accidentally destroyed her father's car, after which she changed her focus to "inner space" biology.

Then her mother passed away. She had to become the mother figure to her younger brother Johnny as their father broke down into a depression. This caused her much stress and struggle to keep on top of her school work by having to look after her brother, father and the house. She still maintained high grades and reached top of her class. She was very pretty in her teen years but she had no time for boys, so the popular girls in school began to shun her for not participating in the social normality. This made her shy around people her age and found only comfort in attending comic cons with her brother, it was the only time she could truly let her hair down.

This is how she meets Reed Richards and Benjamin Graham, at the New York Comic Con. Her new best friends. She connected with Reed on an intellectual level and he really challenged her mind with his wondrous knowledge. He was drawn to her lovely costume of a Hawkgirl from the popular DC comics (ofc we know Marvel is better!) and she explained how she made it herself. She had become very talented at tailoring for mending Johnny's clothes and expanded on her craft skills as a hobby to get away from not having any friends of her own. But now she had them and she was so excited.

When she got home after the con she couldn't stop talking about her new friends Reed and Ben to her father. This inspired him to give Reed a chance at his think tank programme; having heard of Reed's outstanding work already at a young age. He called it The Future Foundation. There they would be the test subjects of Reed's ill-fated experiment....

Sample Story Arcs: Give 2-3 ideas on where you want to go with your character. (same as Drew's for Reed Richards)

After the big project, the teleportation device his father was working on, fails spectacularly. Reed finds out one of the people who was working on it has mutated for the worst, a strange monster like creature that buries itself underground and produces mole like monsters a sexually. Finding out about him and having to fight its now mindless form leaves Reed depressed and blaming himself, on top of what happened to himself and the other three.

Reed along with the rest of the newly announced Fantastic Four begin to put the pieces together about where his father went and what happened to him, which leads them to a certain castle in Latervia.

(This one with Kid Lantern's permission of course) After their constant struggles and disappointments against 3D Man, The skrulls decide to use the Fantastic Four as the base for a new Super Skrull prototype. However when they get DNA samples from the four it causes the heroes' powers to go haywire, and result in the curious side effect of being able to exchange powers with one another through physical touch.

Powers and Abilities: Sue Storm possesses the ability to mentally bend all wavelengths of light around her or her target. This ability allows her to render the target in question invisible to the human eye and all forms of electronic detection. Sue can also generate invisible force fields that allow her to levitate herself or other objects, propel or manipulate them however she wishes, and generate invisible force weapons and protective shields.

Sample Post:

Susan tapped her foot impatiently. “C'mon Johnny we're going to be late.” She spoke to her younger brother who had his head stuck underneath a car in their garage. She was already wearing her Hawkgirl outfit that she herself made, feather by feather from out of a pillow. Johnny was in a boilersuit and covered with grease. “”Yeah hang on, Sis.”

“Now Johnny. I DO NOT want to miss the masquerade, I want to win best costume this time!” She had a competitive side to her fiestyness, along with her gorgeous blonde locks and curvy figure. She had to make a good contender this year.

“Yeah I said cool it, I gotta fix this for Dad.” Johnny was eager to please his father and be accepted as his not so brainy son, but ever so handy with all things mechanical.

“I said NOW!” Susan kicks his shin. “OW OW OWWWW what did you do that for?!!” Johnny rolls out from under the care and holds his shin bone. “Get dressed, shower, shave, and lets shove off.” Sue could be very bossy when it suited her, but she had to be with Johnny otherwise they'd never get anywhere sometimes.

At the Con, Sue walks the various stalls, having to stop at EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM to listen to Johnny try and chat up every single girl he came across. Though the girls seemed more interested in talking to Sue and asking how she made her cool outfit. Johnny got fed up and pushes Sue away “Go away you're cramping my style sis.” Sue folds her arms and pouts. “Fine, I'll be over there. BY MYSELF!” She yells at him and storms off. She never had a date, or even a best friend. When Johnny didn't want her around she had to be by herself. And this made her quite angry, after everything she did for him - dressed him for school, made his breakfast, lunch AND dinner, made sure he washed, brushed his teeth. She was practically his mother. And when he didn't want to hang around with her, she felt he was very ungrateful.

Susan found herself talking to an older lady who had made her own dresses at a stall, she delighted in talking fabrics and how they fit together, and she was eager to learn how she made her lovely dresses. And that's when she had a tap on her shoulder from Benjamin Graham.

“Hey whats up? Sorry to barge in but I'm Ben, this is Reed. Here Reed say hi.” Ben had given him the opening, Reed felt his heart rushing in his body like it was bouncing all over the place. All the knowledge he possessed, all the smarts he had and will ever have. None of it prepared him for this, the brief pause felt like an eternity as Reed had to muster up his courage. Here goes...

“Uh, hi!”

Susan blinks at the two guys her age. She was used to men approaching her, and also used to Johnny being over protective. But something was different about these two this time. They weren't your usual jackasses. They both looked geeky, and Reed looked especially shy but she liked that. And suddenly she was excited. People her age wanting to talk to her who had the same likes. Could it be the start of beautiful friendships?

“Um....Hi!” She herself didn't really know what to say but her smile lit up the entire room and her blue pearly eyes shined as bright as the stars.

“Hey, hey, hey, Sue ain't got no time for you.” Johnny finally pulls away from chatting up Poison Ivy to catch his sister being “hit on” or what it looked like. Sue elbows him right in the stomach, still smiling through gritted teeth. “Johnny, be nice!” Sorry about my brother, he's just being protective.

And then Sue and Reed got to talking, therein beginning their close friendship.

Player Name: Angel Vicky
Character wanting to play: Jean Grey

Moral Alignment: Hero
Affiliation: Professor X and the X-men
Origin and Back Story:

A level 5 class mutant; who rarely arise once in a generation. Born to Professor John Grey and Elaine Grey. This fiery red head showed at an early age that she possessed extraordinary power and was very intelligent. She was the Queen Bee in high school, perfect at every aspect of education with straight A grades and also very athletic to boot. She played in all of the sports teams; hockey, softball etc. but she was mostly known for being captain of the girls’ soccer team at Belleville High. She won many trophies and awards for her sporting nature and her academic feats. She dated the most popular guy in school, Duncan for a little while. And if she had leaded a perfectly normal life she would have gone on to have a scholarship with Harvard University.

But at the age of 15, she did not have an ordinary life. Her best friend Angie was ran over by a car, the emotional impact this created, caused Jean’s mutant X gene to kick in - at first telepathy. She felt Angie’s pain and thoughts as she died. This caused such distress to the teenage red head, so much that her other power also awakened – telekinesis. Every car on the road around them exploded into the air by an 'unknown force', which later civilians were told a freak gale force storm had hit out of nowhere.

Later that day Professor Xavier and his then friend and colleague Eric Lehnsherr, before he formed the Brotherhood, was alerted to this phenomenon and visited the street where Jean lived. They discovered that all of the cars on the street, all garden hoses and all objects outside of the houses were levitating. The neighbours were scared and had deserted the whole street. Jean’s parents were very worried by their daughter’s weird abilities. Xavier and Eric saw unlimited potential within her. Xavier foresaw the problems of a distressed Jean being in public while Eric saw only raw power to be used against mutant haters. She had isolated herself from everyone and everything at the loss of her friend. Before they really knew what Jean was, her other school friends knew there was something weird about her after that and shunned her. Jean fell into a depression, but Xavier took her under his wing.

Eric and Charles eventually fell out over the formation of the X-men and the inclusion of Jean grey into the midst over the team's "purpose". She was the first female member of the original founding members: Cyclops, Angel, Beast and eventually Storm as their 5th. Xavier taught her how to use her telekinetic and telepathic powers to help people and fight for mutant kind. She and Scott Summers became best friends, even to forming a telepathic link to each other, but before they could start a relationship, Jean had reached a high level of expertise in genetics (under Xavier’s tutelage) and it was time to for her to unlock her mind and go to Harvard University. The two were then separated for 5 years.

Whilst Jean was away studying to become a doctor of genetics, she was able to keep her powers in check thankfully. Unfortunately, Scott became close to another during his depression when Jean left - Lee Forrester, unknowingly it was Emma Frost in disguise. Emma is a member of the Inner Circle, the reason why she used Scott to get close to the X-men was so she could get to Jean, their members tracked down the Phoenix Force that dwelled within her. Emma put a mental impression onto Scott as she is a telepathic mutant, she was also able to block Xavier's mental probes to come across as a normal human. This allows her to infiltrate the X-mansion as Scott's girlfriend. And so instead of Scott and Jean, the iconic mutant couple, it so became Scott and Lee.

When Jean graduated with a PhD, she was heartbroken to find Scott had moved on. But that didn’t let it stop her from becoming a senior member of the X-men and one of the most popular teachers for the newer intake of mutants. She also became the institute's medical doctor; she helped the Professor build Cerebro to seek out new mutants in need. And she was beloved by all her team mates and pupils alike.

Now the year is 2012, Dr. Jean Grey now helps Professor Xavier recruit struggling mutants and teach them as he did for her. The Marvel All-Stars twist - Emma Frost (under another's identity) has finally got her Scott Summers and Jean is unattached, in every storyline/alternative universe Wolverine never gets the love of his life. Maybe it’s finally time he gets a HAPPY ending in this alternate world? This is for fans of the Emma/Cyclops and Jean/Wolverine couplings.

Powers and abilities:
Telekinesis
Telepathy
Astral projection
Mind reading and control
Memory alteration and erasure
Psionic blasts

He will attempt to capture Jean. Sinister's usual base of operations lays in the Savage Land where mutant abilities are suppressed.

The Phoenix Saga and the Inner Circle – we all know that eventually Jean Grey becomes the Phoenix. But we will have her as the GOOD Phoenix. Her powers allow her to generate psycho kinetic fire. And this is where Emma Frost came in; she had infiltrated the X-men to keep an eye on Jean, as a member of the Circle/Hellfire Club. As she knew, she was the one born in this generation to inhibit the Phoenix Force. Sebastian Shaw wants to get his hands on Jean all for himself.

Rise of the Apocalypse – The ultimate X-men villain that all other Marvelites could technically join together against. And in light of the upcoming new X-men movie of Apocalypse.

Mojovision – A sci-fi, fun storyline that we can get crazy with. Mojo is an intergalactic being that teleports people into his arena for a broadcasting show. He uses the X-men to teleport them into strange fantasy world to battle their way out alive. Maybe he wants to teleport the X-men, Spidy, F4'ers, Avengers/SHIELD heroes and Asgardians onto a far away planet in a fight for survival to battle the strongest beings in the galaxy.

The SENTINEL programme – Trask Industries are making powerful sentinels to hunt mutants, Xavier has predicted a post apocalyptic world where nobody wins. He urges the X-men to stop them before they kill all humans on the planet.

SAMPLE POST

Xavier Institute for the Gifted, March 25th 2005.
Danger Room, 7pm:

Back then, she was known as Marvel Girl.
http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Nd30oHfVHXg/UFLWiJpQM6I/AAAAAAAADsA/sMgAuCTzX9M/s1600/DS_215_Jean+Grey+coloured+small.jpg

“JEAN! WATCH OUT!” Cyclops screams across a war-torn New York city street. Jean gasps as she dodges a laser beam shot at her from behind, she managed to dodge it just in time. It came from a large spaceship. An alien invasion was being simulated in their war room.

She turns around and throws her hand out toward the ship, it moves backward and smashes against the side of a skyscraper. “Nicely done!” Storm remarks. Jean nods toward her, she'd come a long way from not being able to control her outbursts to being able to make precision quick-thought decisions. She helped her to control her mind powers. Unfortunately, in doing so, she stole that psychic link that she had with Scott and manipulated him into thinking he had more of a link to her as she wanted Cyclops for herself.

Cyclops' eye beam slashed straight through a spaceship, ripping it in half. Jean then puts up a forcefield of telekinetic energy around Cyclops as the other ships concentrate fire at him. “This alien invasion is a bit extreme don't you think?” Maybe she just couldn't take it that seriously. But unbeknownst to the X-men Xavier had a future premonition that involved the Shi'ar Empire. And then devised a programme that incorporated the Shi'ar ships to ready his X-men for the possibility of invasion. Humans were NOT alone in the galaxy.

“Perhaps. Though I do believe the Professor has his reasons.” Ororo's strong African accent echoes through her wind tunnel over the sounds of battle. Jean could use telepathy and telekinesis at the same time, that's what made her so powerful....and dangerous. Emma Frost had known she was a level 5 mutant since the Circle began to watch the Grey teenager at age 15. The Circle's objective, millenia after millenia, to seek out the 'Phoenix Force' possessors that were born every five hundred years. After the very first Phoenix Force bearer levelled an entire empire a very long time ago with a single wave of fire, the “Templars” of the time formed a secret society dedicated to stop it happening again. The Inner Circle/Hellfire Club is now headed by Sebastian Shaw at present. Emma's objective was to infiltrate the X-men and watch over Jean Grey.

Now came the real test – how much could Jean Grey handle? How much could she be pushed to the limits without breaking? Xavier HAD to know. He didn't want to do this but...he set the danger level to maximum. At this level, there was every chance the X-men could be fatally wounded. But he had faith in Jean, Scott and Storm. He reserved Warren and Hank for rescue on the sidelines.

All of a sudden the mother ship approached the city of New York. Ten times bigger than that of the normal ships. It readied an all mighty beam blast to level the entire city. As it hit, there was an enormous gale force wind that shot toward them. Jean's only option was to shield all three of them in her protective psycho barrier. The force was incredible, she had to dig her feet into the cracked ground by pushing herself downward at the same time. She had to hold it or they would be flown back and be lost in the hurricane winds. A skyscraper falls on top of them. Now she had an incredible weight on top of her as well.

Pushing her power to the very limits of her mind, concentrating on nothing else but survival. Showing no signs of backing down, pushing herself even further. Cyclops blasted through the forcefield and broke the skyscraper into pieces. As Jean gritted her teeth and screamed in pain that her mind was feeling right now, a small fire began to emanate from the centre of Jean's chest. Emma was half way across the city as she felt the Phoenix Force arise. With widened eyes behind a car wheel she gasps 'No....not now!....' She thought in horror, thinking this was it, the moment Jean would not be strong enough to contain it. And she wasn't there to supress it or absorb it.

But Jean did not unleash the full potential of the Phoenix. The blast wave passes and the skyscraper debris crumbles to the sides of them. Jean could relax, she puts the forcefield down. Panting, she looks around, she gives the other two a thumbs up before passing out completely. The danger room powers down and Beast runs in roaring. “JEAN!!” He picks her up in his huge blue furry arms. “Thank god she's breathing”. She was smiling as she lay there unconscious. She knew she could save them from something awful. Prof X sighed with relief and hung his head down, feeling guilty he just put his prized apprentice through all that.

Storm watches Hank take Jean away to the medic-bay with her arms holding her elbows. She was worried. Emma pulls up outside the mansion, she'd found the Phoenix Force of this era. And she was the one who was going to have to stop Jean from killing millions. She and the Circle would have to keep an even closer eye on her from now on during her upcoming Harvard days. "Now just to get in close to Scott...as Lee Forrester." Emma schemed.

Thankfully, not a day went by with any incident that Jean needed to use such a force again. That is until 2012.

Character You Wish To Play: Pietro Maximoff - Quicksilver
Moral Alignment: Hero
Affiliation: The X-Men, possibly The Avengers in the future
Character Origin & Backstory: Having never known who their real parents were, Pietro and his fraternal twin sister Wanda both grew up in the presence of Erik Lehnsherr, a former holocaust survivor who claimed he was a good friend of their parents. The two grew up in the war torn Sokovia, where even from an early age they fought against the corrupted Sokovian Government at Erik's urging. While Wanda was very much for about the cause, Pietro wasn't quite as much, however he deeply cared for Wanda and went along with everything more to keep her safe rather than fighting the power.

As Pietro and Wanda grew older their X-Genes became activated and an already active and impatient Pietro gained superhuman speed. Making him even more impatient and irritable. Still he held to his own convictions and using their powers the two worked in guerrilla operations together until Erik Lehnsherr took Pietro aside and offered him a chance to do some work in another area.

With the growing number of mutants causing civil unrest. Pietro joined his adoptive father in The Brotherhood. There though he watched Erik clashing with respected college Charles Xavier on how to handle the crisis. The more of it he watched, the more Pietro lost respect for his adoptive father and in a moment that shocked everyone involved. Told Erik he was staying with Xavier when Erik left to form his own group.

Legally adopted and registered into a US citizen. Pietro didn't join the X-Men as it was being formed, instead wanting to find himself as all his life he had seemingly done things for other people. He discovered punk music and movies, both of which gave him a kind of joy he never really had before. He started learning how to play guitar as a hobby and has an impressive DVD and VHS collection. Though considering his snarky and simple minded approach to problem solving left Xavier cautious about having someone he viewed as the son he didn't realize he wanted being in the X-Men. Especially considering that Pietro's adopted father was rapidly becoming an enemy. Making Charles worry about where Pietro's allegiances will lay. However Pietro has assured Charles that he wants nothing to do with his former father. Having gone so far as to dye his normally white hair brown to show his changed ways. While he searches though for his sister Wanda however, Pietro has put his attention to being a part of the X-Men. Knowing that he's got a long way to go in order to earn their trust.
Power and Abilities: Able to reach speeds around 770 mphs, aka the speed of sound. All while not suffering from any wind or frictional problems. With his powers Pietro has very high reaction times, and can accomplish feats such as running across the top of water, running up the side of buildings, and running in a circle fast enough to create whirlwind vortexes. Though he hasn't quite perfected it yet, Pietro can also vibrate the molecules in his body fast enough to essentially phase through solid objects.
Sample Story Arcs: - Pietro's first and foremost goal is to show his new found teammates in the X-Men that he can be trusted despite his past.

Pietro after some time searching finds Wanda only to realize she's changed for the worst.

- (Hypothetical idea) When the X-Men have Pietro play double agent and join the Brotherhood as a means of stopping them from inside. Pietro struggles with finding complete acceptance in the group and has to choose if he can stay loyal to the X-Men.
Sample Post:

Pietro sighed irritated as he glanced back over at the clock, 10 pm. Once again all he could do was regret making it to the bar so quickly as the rest of his friends were apparently taking their sweet time. Sure Pietro could of just borrowed one of Xavier's cars and just drove to the sleazy bar like a normal person. But that wasn't Pietro's style at all. Plus just sitting in New York City traffic would've been worst. Gritting his teeth Pietro ran fingers though his chocolate brown hair as he glanced around. It was hard to explain it to someone who didn't understand. But while they were all suppose to meet up around 10, even just the few minutes of waiting was killing the Eastern European.

Finally though they all arrived, Pietro had to bite his tongue as he said his greetings to them while holding back the string of expletives he wanted to spew out for them making him wait around and drink down a screwdriver while the band was doing its last tune ups. For all he knew though Pietro's friends didn't know about his superhuman running. They have said they were completely cool with mutants in discussions in the past. However as Pietro would say to other mutants, “My powers are no body's fucking business...”

“Alright so what the Hell band is this?” Pietro asked, his voice still dripping with the Eastern European accent his always had, as the performers were on stage about to start. “They're called The Dazzlers, some group out of LA.” One of his friends called back as the feedback from the speakers hissed off of a plugged in guitar. The lead singer, a woman who looked pretty frail but dangerous enough to not want to say it to her face, stepped up to the microphone with a snarl.

“IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE SHOW YOU CAN KISS MY F---ING A--!!!”

“Ah she's a woman after my heart...” Pietro half-joked as the band started into their first song.

NAME
Henry “Hank” Pym, Jr.

MORAL ALIGNMENT
Hero

AFFILIATION
Pym Technologies

ORIGIN AND BACKSTORY
Henry and his sister, Hope, were born in 1988 as a set of fraternal twins in the Pym Estate in New York City. For most of his childhood a degree of his parents past seemed shaded in ambiguity. This was due to the fact of Henry Pym (Sr.) and Janet Van Dyne’s former work with the federal agency known as SHIELD, a secret that the two tried to keep buried throughout their children’s youth. As it is known, Henry Pym founded Pym Technologies whilst he also invested in his wife’s start-up company called Yellowjacket — a fashion design firm that due to Janet’s expertise in business and enterprise led to a successful venture that became one of the most relevant fashion & design firms in New York City.

After a brief attendance at Empire University Hank found himself bored and feeling anxious at home. His father and mother had recently separated due to an altercation between them that led to additional stress at the Pym Estate. Whilst his sister fell into academia as a full-on exile Hank seemed to approach his stressful feelings in the opposite direction as he began to get into a string of debates that turned into messy arguments with his father. After several of these arguments and the issues that followed Hank decided he was done with New York and took a flight to Europe for an extended period of time. In the period that followed he began wandering as a sort of wayward soul as he traveled through Transia, Sokovia, Slokovia, Lichtenbad, Latveria, and other countries as he tried to not only get away from the expectations of his family and his peers but also to gather his thoughts— to become something closer to himself and not “Henry Pym II”. However, years later in 2011 Hank returned when Hope, the only one he kept in contact with, reached out to him telling Hank that he had to come home immediately—something had happened.

Henry Pym, Hank’s father had been hospitalized. Annoyed at however this could’ve happened, whatever bridges he thought were broken between him and his father seemed to reconstruct overnight as he took flight from Paris to New York. His father’s condition brought the fractured family together in a weird fit of irony – something that Hank would reflect on much later. Following clues left by his father, he discovered the culprit of his father’s condition being Pym Technologies co-founder, Elias Weams, who was on the brink of discovering “Weams Particles” and continuing a project that Pym wanted buried due to the dangers of not only development of the technologies but also the military consequences that were bound to follow-- Pym refused to allow his company to go the way of Stark or Osborn. Knowing Pym was in his way Weams hired an individual to take care of him named Hargood Wickham. After discovering his father’s “Ant Man” suit, his journal, and connecting the plot to Wickham and Weams he proceeded with stopping Weams’ intentions by donning the Ant-Man suit and infiltrating the facility to sabotage the fruits of Weams’ labor. This would end with a battle (after dispatching Wickham) between Hank and Weams’ – but not before Weams donned the “Gigantus” suit himself driving him insane in the process. When Weams was defeated he found himself at the center spotlight to the world and the vigilante career for Hank had begun.

It seemed like the Pym family was back on track with the recovery of Henry Pym and his rekindling of his relationship with Janet, Hope’s extreme success at taking control of Pym Technologies in the aftermath of Elias Weams betrayal and attempted murder of her father, and Hank’s own passion for helping others through the identity of Ant-Man— things were settling back in. Deciding to stay out of Pym Technologies Hank looked to focusing full-time on helping others and looking into the history of the AST-62 suit through discussions with his father. As 2011 came to a close he found himself stopping many threats unaware that there was one just looming on the horizon…

POWERS & ABILITIES

• Genius Level Intelligence – Henry has inherited the intellectual capacity and capability of both of his parents and despite not using it as often as he should still shows that he is an extremely smart as well as creative individual who thinks consistently out of the box and on his feet. This lends to a great ability to get out of difficult combat scenarios as well as engineering gadgets seemingly on the fly.
• AST-62 – Codenamed the “Ant-Man”. The AST-62 (although heavily modified) is a state of the art technological exo-suit developed by Henry Pym Sr. to exploit the utility of Pym Particles for a variety of uses. The suit was ideal for covert operations during the Cold War especially due to its ability to shrink or expand the wearer in size by several magnifications, enhancing the wearer’s speed & strength, and also using a cybernetic helmet with low frequency psionic emitters could grant communication and partial control of insects.
• Hand-to-Hand Combat – Starting with self-defense classes in the twins childhood, Henry was introduced to judo and karate classes which he kept up decently into his teenage years which is when he “got bored” of the instruction during his rebellious phase. Recently he has been implementing his martial arts into his crime-fighting.

SAMPLE POST

“Do you want ants, Hank? This is how you get ants!”

“You just said…” Hank’s smile grew before suddenly he just lost it.

Maria Trovaya had no idea why Henry “Hank” Pym Jr. had just bursted out in laughter, making her feel like a damned idiot in the process. Maria’s brows narrowed and her cheeks rose in agitation as she slammed her foot down in Hank’s apartment in New York City trying to stop his childish outburst. The apartment was not particularly lavish and it was only accented by her frustration of how her supposed boyfriend was keeping his apartment; open containers of sugar on the floor, a broken sink that he still hadn’t gotten to, and various other issues that just pointed to the man’s lack of giving a shit entirely.

“...I’m sorry,” Hank let out an exhausted chuckle.

“Augh! You’re impossible, Hank!”

“...Maria. Oh shit.”

Hank ran the palm of his right hand of his face; he was such an idiot sometimes. The twenty-four year old knew that his girlfriend was going to be pissed with him and probably for more than a standard business week. He shook his head, that was the kind of shit that got him in trouble with his sister when they were younger-- one stupid joke led to one swift punch and Hope knew how to throw punches. His girlfriend however was less of the hitting type to tell him he was an idiot and more of the ‘I’m going to leave and not talk to you for a week because I think you laughed at me and thus belittled my entire existence’ type. Honestly after this relationship he found his sister so much more endearing. Definitely preferred the punching.

He took another breath as he turned to his kitchen as he tapped a small watch on his wrist. “You can come out now, she’s gone.” He muttered as a small group of ants emerged from their hiding places.

Well, his girlfriend was kind of right about the whole ants thing. Sort of.

“Huh? She’s never gotten over something this fast before…” Without thinking about the ants he went to open the door and a face he didn’t recognize looked down at him as a badge was shoved in his face-- one he recognized. SHIELD.

“Henry Pym Jr. I presume?”

Hank could feel his throat swell and his heart tick. “No, I’m Tony Stark. He lives a few doors down, you can’t miss him.”

“Very funny. But we need to have a conversation. About Ant-Man.”

Sample Story Arcs:

Avenger of Earth: Zhib-Ran arrives on earth and begins working with SHIELD to help them make the earth a safer place. He takes on the identity of SHIELD Agent Milton, hiding his true purpose and origin from the humans until the opportune moment arrives for his conquest of the planet. Yet, Hyperion has grown fond of humanity. He would soon remember, however, why his parents hated commoners, and turn on SHIELD and earth.

Conquest of Knowhere: Hyperion arrives at Knowhere, determined to conquer the city as his own and establish himself as king. He is forced to fight the Guardians of Knowhere in his attempt to control the crime hub.

King Hpyerion: Hyperion becomes the king of a planet/society. He rules over them with an iron fist, until someone comes around and forces him to leave.

Squadron Sinister: Once his other plans fail, Hyperion turns towards the rest of the galaxy once more and hunts down the most infamous criminals in the known universe and invites them to join the Squadron Sinister.

Sample Post:



Agent Milton sat on top of a skyscraper in the middle of New York City. The locals called the structure the "Daily Bugle." Apparently it was a facility built for the express purpose of delivering biased journalism to the drooling masses of New York. Mark brought one such piece of propaganda up to where he could look at it: a newspaper, the humans called it. Covered in pictures and writing. Why did this "Bugle" continue to use such an outdated form of communication to deliver its message to the people of New York City. Even here, on the primitive planet called earth, they had more efficient means of transferring information from one location to multiple locations. A network of computers devised many years ago that allowed the public access to the 'information superhighway.' Despite the existence of this system, the Daily Bugle and a number of other outlets insisted on having their opinions transported by hand. It baffled Zhib-Ran, who's own world used a sort of 'internet' to spread news. Everyone carried a device that could be wirelessly accessed at any time by those allowed to present information to the entire planet.

That was another thing this planet, and more specifically the western portion of it, lacked: censorship. Why allow men like this J. Jonah Jameson to spew lies about important public figures like the Spider-Man? The Spider-Man is a hero. He serves as an icon to the people of New York City; the denizens look up to him as their savior. Well, they should, anyway. From what Zhib-Ran had seen, not everyone appreciated the wall-crawler's presence in the big apple. That fact can be attributed to the mud slinging of Jameson more than likely.

"Hmph." Hyperion puffed as he observed the front page. A picture of Spider-Man slinging through New York's skyline. Odd, Zhib-Ran thought. How did they manage to get a shot from this angle? The photographer must have been standing on the ledge of a massive structure to get a shot from that high up. How could he have known the Spider was swinging by at that exact moment, to take a picture without blur? How very odd. Zhib-Ran began to read the article on the front page. It was an opinion piece written by multiple authors. The article raised an interesting question: Should superheroes be allowed to work within the city without regulation by the government? Of course not. Hyperion answered within his own mind. You can't trust an ordinary citizen to do the work of the police. But law enforcement on earth was not equipped to deal with the threats that required the attention of superheroes. Hyperion went on to read the rest of the article on page eleven. The Daily Bugle offered a simple solution: SHIELD. They wanted people to look at SHIELD and see how well their system worked, and how it could be applied to law enforcement at large within the United States of America. Vigilantes are brought in, trained, and given badges before they're sent off to work for the city. They would get a paycheck, benefits, the whole package. What's not to love?

The article failed to mention, and Hyperion failed to realize, the shortcomings of such a plan. For Zhib-Ran hadn't the time to mull over the positives and negatives, because Captain America needed his assistance.

"Agent Milton." A voice suddenly spoke from Zhib's watch.

Hyperion raised the device closer to his face and pressed a button on the side. "This is Milton. Go ahead." Zhib-Ran was still getting used to calling himself "Agent Mark Milton" instead of Zhib-Ran or Hyperion. Why the humans wished for his identity to remain a mystery, Zhib did not know. But he had chosen to work with SHIELD until the day when he no longer needed them. For Hyperion's plans to come into fruition, he needed SHIELD's full trust. So, for now, Hyperion would do as they told. No questions asked.

"Captain America has activated his distress beacon and requested your assistance. He's currently in the Savage Lands, Antarctica- you should be able to find him without too much trouble."

"Of course. I'll be right there."

Hyperion switched the device off and set his newspaper down. He quickly removed his grey suit jacket and carefully folded it up, setting that down as well. Zhib removed a pair of sunglasses from his pocket and put them on before straightening his tie and jumping to his feet. A quick rolling up of his sleeves, and Hyperion was ready for work.

Then he jumped.

Zhib-Ran fell from the roof of the Daily Bugle towards the busy streets below. People looked up and pointed; he could hear screams and calls for help as he rapidly descended towards the asphalt. Time itself seemed to distort as Hyperion activated his powers. Everything slowed down to a crawl. Zhib glanced around with his enhanced vision at the faces of the people below. A moment later, after he had finished enjoying the fresh air, Hyperion began to fly. He suddenly shot forward at speeds approaching light, flying above the New York skyline. He was careful not to get too close to any buildings; his powers allowed him to keep air disruption to a minimum, however there was still the chance that Zhib-Ran could shatter the windows with the amount of air he was kicking behind him at the speed he was going. If Hyperion wasn't able to regulate air flow around him, he imagined flying at light speed would be equivalent to setting off a nuclear bomb in the middle of the city.

Good thing that wasn't a probably for him, isn't it?

It took less than a second for Hyperion to reach the research facility. However, for the extra-dimensional alien, it felt like quite a bit longer. He had to fly up into space and use his telescopic vision combined with his X-ray vision to locate Sam Wilson. Then he had to fly down to Antarctica and traverse the Savage Land without crashing. It felt like an eternity. If Zhib wasn't so experienced with his powers he would have wondered if he reached Sam in time to save him. But he was experienced, so that wasn't an issue either.

Hyperion smashed through the metal and concrete that made up the facilities walls. Debris froze in mid air as Zhib took the time to examine in the situation. The room was filled with what appeared to be dinosaurs in strange glass cases. Cap was looking at one such dinosaur. The good captain appeared to have locked eyes with the creature. Hyperion turned to see a group of AIM agents approaching from another door, all of them armed with state of the art laser weaponry. They wouldn't affect Hyperion; he'd feel them, but it'd probably just tickle. Time sped back up to normal as Hyperion slowed to a stop. The AIM agents entered the room and pointed their weapons at the intruders. However, Cap didn't move. His eyes were stuck on the dinosaur. That was when Hyperion realized that the strange earth creature in the tube must have had the captain under some sort of mind control.

He had to act fast. Hyperion flew forward, right at the pterodactyl. He tackled the beast out of its tube and dragged the flying monster through a nearby wall. And then another wall. And another. Once they were outside, Hyperion let go of Sauron and allowed the monster to get up. The naive "hero" believed it was just some misunderstood lizard, and believed it would fly away after that. "Go on." Hyperion urged. "Get outta here."

Hopefully Cap could deal with the AIM guys on his own, because the dinosaur didn't seem very willing to leave.

Character Origin & Backstory:

X-51 was originally designed to be a protector against alien threats as part of a US Army project. All of the other robots in the series went insane after gaining sentience, while X-51, who has been called "the Robot with a soul", survived. X-51 had solar powered batteries built into his exoskeleton and was raised as the human son of his creator, Dr. Abel Stack. At some point the Machine Man built his own ship to travel the stars called the Shockwave Rider. Coming into contact with the Watcher called Uatu and later the Celestials, they deemed his sentience profound and assisted him in traveling back in the direction of Earth after getting lost in the far corners of the galaxy. Coming across the wrecked Knowhere base of the Collector and a pair of his keepsakes, the telepathic and telekinetic Earth dog Cosmo, as well as Troll, together they formed the Guardians of Knowhere.

Powers and Abilities (What can your character do? What can't they do?):
Machine Man's powers include super-human strength, speed, durability and endurance. His body is made of adamantium, and he has a cybernetic brain that gives him a superhuman analytical ability. He has telescopic and microscopic vision and detachable limbs which can be controlled when separated from the body. He also extends his limbs and shapes them into melee weapons at times when in combat.

Along with the built-in abilities for defense, Machine Man has a multitude of devices, including anti-gravity generators that allow him to fly, built into his body. He also has sensors and various radars, a chromatograph, seismometer, audiometer, transceiver and gravity wave detector. His palms contain pulse beams similar to that of Iron Man. X-51 is virtually immortal as long as his programming/consciousness is kept secure. Any damage done to his body can simply be repaired.

Sample Story Arcs: Give 2-3 ideas on where you want to go with your character.

Origin of the Guardians: This would be the story of how X-51 came into contact with Cosmo and Troll and formed their team after Knowhere was ravaged by an unknown adversary.

Planet of the Symbiotes: When the Shockwave Rider crashes on an unknown planet, the Guardians are stunned to find an entire planet of symbiotes in all shapes and sizes. Some of the alien creatures were attached to the dinosaur like animals that inhabit the planet, others in the more oozing form, all deadly in their own ways.

the Herald[s]: Before the current herald of Galactus, Morg, can finish studying a planet and destroy it's defenses for his master, the Guardians must do everything in their power to keep the herald from finishing the job and turn Galactus towards a planet without life. But what could prepare them for a second herald called... Terrax?!?

Sample Post (This is used as an introduction to your writing – try to keep it to around three paragraphs or more and try to include dialogue):

"It has been many months since I have seen home. The stars once full of so much wonder now seem so desolate and empty. After coming face to face with one of the last known Watchers in the universe, and ultimately annoying the Celestials in all of their omnipotence, there is not much that interests me. The ship is still running exceptionally well, I would expect nothing less having had help from the Celestials themselves. However, I have noticed a trail of wreckage and debris spanning across a few space sectors now..." the Machine Man thought at the control seat of the ship.

"Now... this is interesting." X-51 said out loud.

He was one with the ship now. His hand was no longer on a steering wheel, rather in was jacked into the controls with his hand shifting mechanically and taking control more directly. The scanners were actually longer range than what his body was capable of itself, but they showed no signs of life. After a few more moments X-51's ship finally locked onto something. A cargo transport ship, or rather what was left of it. It seemed as if it was being robbed by the hawk like humanoids in the Fraternity of Raptors. Machine Man had a run in one one of their kind trying to attack Uatu the Watcher. X-51 disconnected from the ship's controls and put the Shockwave Rider on auto-pilot.

As X-51 walked to the hatch in the back of his rather large ship considering he was only a single life form, his mechanical body began to shape chrome plated adamantium back thrusters and larger boot jets. Small openings in his back and calves seemed to give birth to all types of machinery as the enhancements were made. Before they were even complete, Machine Man exited his ship headed straight for the dark hawk-like Raptors. Tuning to the frequency their tech uses for communication he warned.

"You have fifteen seconds to back away from what's left of the cargo ship and vacate the sector and then I open fire. This is your only warning." Machine Man stated.

"We claim thisss vessssel and it's cargo for the Shhhhi'ar Empire!" said the more chrome colored Raptor.

"Itsss the one who killed Gyre! He mussst paaay..." said the other of the two in a darker suit with a blue crystal in his chest.

It was all out mechanical humanoid war for about three or four minutes with X-51 coming out on top. After their crystals were broken and their armors damaged, the two Raptors flew away. The weaponry Machine Man had generated slipped back into the openings of his mechanical body after folding and spinning to compact itself. The robot with a soul made his way to the pilots seat of the cargo ship to find it was piloted by another machine.

"You deserved better my mechanical brother." X-51 thought to himself putting his head down for a moment in respect, "Those Raptors are into some nasty business, and claiming allegiance to the Shi'ar? Further study required..."

Character Origin & Backstory: Warren Worthington III was your average rich kid with all the spoils and such privileged people were used to. That was until the day of his 13th birthday when he noticed something growing out of his back. One year later he had fully functioning wings, and despite his father's protests he used them to fly. Upon learning of other mutants and the Xavier School, Warren checked the place out for himself and even enrolled. However after about a month or two his anxiety to do something more kicked into gear and he headed out on his own. He had dreams of becoming a costumed adventurer but kept his head down and his wings tucked into his overcoat for the next few years while moving up in his father's company and attending college. After buying up as many shares in the company as possible, Warren took great pride in taking control of the company once he had over half the company in his back pocket. In nearly the exact same way as his father took the company from Warren Worthington I no less.

Still going out for a nightly fly every so often, Warren heard the screams of a young woman one night who was in the process of being mugged by two grungy looking men. When Warren touched down and saved the woman from the attackers, she broke down into tears claiming God had sent one of his agents to save her. Rumors began about an Avenging Angel defending the citizens of NYC. After seeing costumed heroes in the media like Capt. America and Spiderman, Warren made a costume of his own and took to the skies more regularly as... the ARCHANGEL.

Powers and Abilities (What can your character do? What can't they do?): Archangel has wings granting him the ability to fly as well as enhanced physical attributes [strength, speed, endurance, durability]. There is also something in his blood that heals his wounds quicker, making him able to heal from serious injury within days and grow new wings within a few months if they're completely removed. He just heals quicker, but he doesn't have the OP'ed Wolverine/Deadpool healing factors. At some point later on I'd like to give him a flaming sword, I just don't know where he'll get it or how strong it will be.

Sample Story Arcs: Give 2-3 ideas on where you want to go with your character.

Angel of the City - Just an introductory arc where he teams with another more well known hero to take down an enemy. Ideally this would be one of Marvel's big guns.

Sinister Revelation - I'd like to introduce Sugar Man as a scientist named Johnathan Sweet working for Worthington Labs who had a secret agenda with Archangel's father. The secret? Warren's father had Sweet trying to clone him another son but without wings. After Warren takes over the company and Sugar Man loses his funding after Warren discovers his father and Sweet's secret, it leads into the next arc...

Angel of Death - My version of Archangel will meet his nemesis, Sugar Man's greatest experiment, the Angel of Death [or just Death for short]. Blue skin, metal wings [cause originally he was cloned without them!], but with the look of the newer younger Angel's evil self... SEEN HERE.

"If only my father had experienced flying he would've seen why I snuck out so much when I was younger. The wind in my face and flowing through my hair, the taste and smell of moisture in the clouds the higher I fly... it's all just amazing..." Warren thought as he flew in the clouds in the early morning hours of the day.

The sun was rising over the skyscrapers of New York City. Archangel finally saw his destination point in the Worthington Industries building about six blocks down from Williams Innovations. His muscles contracted, and his wings folded inwards as he touched down on the roof of the building. In a secret stash he found some clothes he'd put away for just this sort of thing. After dressing himself in more casual clothes he tossed on his overcoat. Most people assumed he wore one because he was rich and that's the sort of thing they wear over their expensive suits. Most people assumed Warren was just another one of those douchebags. Of course, he wore it to conceal his wings...

After a long and boring shareholder's meeting, Warren flipped through some monthly reports from their pharmaceutical division. A lab in New Jersey seemed to be spending quite a bit of money on materials and equipment. Nearly everything was signed by a Doctor Johnathan Sweet.

"I'm going to look into this a bit later, right now I need to get out and stretch my wings..." he thought.
