Doesn’t matter what the politicians or the mobs say. Doesn’t matter if the whole country decides something wrong is something right. This nation was founded on one principle above all else: the right requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or consequences.

With those measurements naturally Stephanie has an imposing stature. Outside of combat Stephanie tends to stick with shirts and jeans, only really wearing a dress for fancy events or whatever. [b]Characters Abilities:[/b] When she was put through the experiments of the super soldier program. Stephanie Rogers body was put to peak, possibly higher than peak human conditioning. Her reflexes have also been increased to peak human potential and are nearly instantaneous. She can run a mile in just over a minute, and her warm up bench press average is 1100 pounds. Her body is also built up enough to provide natural immunizations to not only get sick or poisoned.. But access fatigue poisons in her systems leave her unable to tire herself out and always ready to go at maximum ability. [b]Characters Skills:[/b] When SHIELD brought Stephanie out of cyro status they have since given her top of the line educations in free running, and various martial arts including jujitsu, Greco-Roman wrestling, boxing, judo, and karate. On top of everything else, Stephanie's legendary vibranium shield remains her signature weapon. As well as providing defense against numerous types of munitions. Stephanie is known for being able to nail multiple people with a well aimed shield throw. Her time out in the fields of Europe during World War II originally had her providing medical support, leading her to be helpful in that field to a degree. Since some of her techniques are considered outdated now. Most of all though the war also gave her great leadership skills, as well as being a commander and tactician. She is an expert in reading codes, maps, and doing other military-related skills. Also she speaks English, German, Russian, Japanese, and some Italian. [b]Origin Story:[/b] Growing up in the 1920‘s of sprawling Brooklyn, New York. Stephanie Rogers already knew what fighting meant. When she was born it was a premature birth. Doctors weren't sure if she'd even live past a month, however even as a newborn baby Stephanie fought and grew up. Though she was small, weak, and frail, she never really identified herself as one of the other girls. She always tried to hang out with the other boys, playing baseball, and even in the face of adversity showed a toughness and willpower that very few even much older than her possessed. As Stephanie grew older she watched on as the Nazis grew in power in Europe alongside Italy and Japan. Desperately wanting to join in on the fight Stephanie repeatedly tried to enlist to the army to no success, as women weren't allowed to join, and even if they were Stephanie was too weak. Disgruntled but determined Stephanie studied and was able to get into the military as a field nurse. She was given proper training and even handled some battles, but her superiors were concerned about her frailty and wanted her off the field as a precaution. This ended up with her being put into a program the Government had been working on for a while. The program, known as ‘Project: Rebirth' to those who knew about it. Was a life long project of Dr. Abraham Erskine, a German man who aimed for achieving human perfection. However as he watched Axis power grow he escaped his homeland and brought his work to the US government. Though by the time Stephanie Rogers was brought in to assist, the project was reaching desperate levels. A few soldiers had been given an injection with what was called the super soldier serum. Effects ranged from no changes in the test subject, to the subject becoming dangerously ill. The program was threatened to be cut if no positive results could come from it. In a last ditch effort to find a possible solution Dr. Erskine had each of the 12 or so people involved directly with the program provide a blood sample. No one's samples seemed like they would work, except for Stephanie's. Even with the aspect of finally being able to fight out on the front lines, Stephanie still needed to be talked into volunteering by Dr. Erskine. But the doctor had a great deal of faith in Stephanie, and convinced her to try. After getting injected with the super soldier serum the testing began. Finally, after what seemed like hours for Stephanie of intense physical stress. She emerged a completely changed woman. She was weak, small, frail before. Now though Stephanie felt stronger, healthier, and looked as tall and powerful as she felt. The test was a major success. Before the celebrations could really start though, the base Project: Rebirth was happening in was raided by Nazi spies. With a cry of “Hail Hitler!" the spies broke into the lab and opened fire. Stephanie Rogers with her new found strength fought off the spies, but Dr. Erskine was shot and while bleeding out told Stephanie he was proud of her. Dr. Erskine died shortly afterwards despite Stephanie's efforts to save him, the formula for the soldier soldier serum dying with him as he never wrote it down or told it to anyone. With Stephanie Rogers now the most powerful soldier in the US military. She was given rigorous military training and reunited with her longtime friend Bucky. As well as given a new, state-of-the-art shield. The two started heading out on high priority assignments and immediately showed a very strong presence in the war. However military officials were concerned that the most powerful person in the US army was a woman, and while they wanted to promote this new figure they dubbed Captain America. They didn't want to reveal the Captain’s gender. Thus the military in secret hired a circus strongman to play the part. This fake Captain America went around the US posing as the real Captain America, often while Stephanie Rogers was out in Europe fighting. When Stephanie found out about the fake Captain America, needless to say she was very angry. All of her hard work was being ignored while some meathead (Albeit a friendly meathead who often sent Stephanie very nice care packages) got all of her attention. As she raised her concerns about the situation with her superiors, she made it clear when the war was over, come Hell or high water she was going to get the recognition she deserved. As the war began to truly turn the tide, Stephanie Rogers and Bucky Barnes were given a critical assignment. Going after and assassinating Johann Schmidt, a top scientific aide to Adolf Hitler. As the mission waged on, Stephanie and Bucky snuck onto a train as a means to quietly get to Schmidt's location only to get ambushed. In the ensuing melee, Bucky fell to his death when a chunk of the train was blown off, launching him off to the canyon next to the tracks. Sad but determined Stephanie went on. Finding his program HYDRA Stephanie found out about the inhumane and cruel experiments Schmidt was conducting. Stephanie fought Schmidt, now going by the title of Red Skull, in a long intensive battle. As Red Skull tried to escape in an air ship Stephanie Rogers caught up to him. Finally able to plant an explosive on the ship she detonated it as she stood near an open doorway to escape. Launching her out of the ship unconscious before crashing into the cold waters below. Stephanie Rogers and Red Skull were both presumed dead after an extensive search for her yielded no results for either. The man who played Captain America continued to do so unimpeded in television and movies. Eventually retiring and passing away in the year 1973 as a proud father of two children. His secret, and the truth about Captain America, never being revealed and instead considered nothing more than an insane conspiracy theory. During a search though in the area in the year 2013, SHIELD found Stephanie Rogers' body. Intact and seemingly preserved in ice, researchers could only assume the super soldier serum acted as a sort of protection from frostbite and other things. During a careful thawing under medical watch. Stephanie Rogers slowly began to wake up. Confused she thought she was captured by Nazi forces, Stephanie fought her way out until breaking out of the secret lab she found herself in modern day Times Square. Nick Fury, someone she knew as part of the Howlin' Commandos, calmed her down as he helped her understand she was now 67 years into the future. The experience, while relieved in some ways knowing the good guys won the war, was traumatic for Stephanie. Although Stephanie was given a position within SHIELD, she wanted instead to spend a few years catching up on everything she missed. When Stephanie went to check on the bank account she had growing up. Stephanie was stunned to found out the few dollars she had in it originally had inflated to absolutely insane levels. Using it to get a very nice apartment in Brooklyn, Stephanie started to get comfortable and start trying to pick up on everything she missed out on. While SHIELD had her also go out and study various martial arts as a means to stay active. However a few months into this new life, Stephanie was given a call to return to action. Due to an incoming attack of a massive being named Galactus. The former Captain America suited up again, this time in brand new gear although still with her trusty shield. Captain America led the other heroes into the battle having seemingly never missing a step. The battle was long, wrought with casualties, but at the end of the day was won. With it the world finally found out the truth about Captain America as the US Government admitted to the man being an actor. She was given all the medals and achievements she was owed in a big ceremony in Washington DC. As the whirlwind came to a close though Stephanie Rogers found out that during the war. Her superiors did feel guilty about having someone pose as Captain America. Planning to reward her properly for her hard work after the war. Plans and other work was put into place to help use her image to inspire women all over the country in a different way.

Feeling her field medical work, and general army experience will hopefully provide a lot of help to the rest of the team.

[b]Sample Post:[/b] [center][b]Radio City Music Hall 1940[/b][/center] [i]“Who’s strong and brave, here to save the American Way?”[/i] “What is this?” Stephanie Brown hasn’t been back in the states for some time, out fighting in the depths of Europe against the evil Axis forces. When she came back though, she was left with the surprise of her life. Her title of Captain America was becoming a strong, proud symbol of America’s strength during the war. Something she was proud of at first. That is, until she found out WHO they saw Captain America as. [i]“Who vows to fight like a man for what’s right night and day?”[/i] The chiseled man held up the shield made from a cheap metal, not at all the one Stephanie was using in the war. Prancing along to the music and proudly proclaiming how the American people could support the troops. All the while Stephanie quietly sat from behind the curtains. In a yellow dress with heels that were cramping her feet hard. Sitting on a costume trunk with a leg wrapped in. Looking on at a display on the stage that was equal parts shocking, insulting, and befuddling at the same time. They were burying her, there was no other way to put it. They were ashamed of the fact the person out there saving them was a woman. “Man, they sure love ya...” As the familar voice of Bucky came in next to her. Stephanie’s long time best friend walking up and leaning against the same costume trunk. “I mean... they sure love him. Whoever the Hell this guy is.” “His name was Eli something...” She was still too shocked to remember it. “He seemed like a decent enough fella. Still...” Stephanie didn’t know how to put it. Continuing to watch on as she felt a lump in her throat she couldn’t decide was from anger or sadness. [i]“Who’ll give the Axis the sack, and is smart as a fox?”[/i] “Bustin’ your butt for this country, and it can’t even give you the recognition for it.” Bucky quietly remarked aloud as watched for a moment longer before turning to Stephanie. “What is this world coming too?” Unable to answer Stephanie quietly hopped off the trunk and started to leave. She felt like she had seen plenty, and none of it she liked at all. “Hey where ya goin’?” Bucky quickly caught up with Stephanie. “Somewhere I can get a stiff drink, so I don’t break something.” Stephanie tried to pull away from Bucky’s grasp. Only for Bucky to finally gently hold her arm and make her stop and look at him. Turning to see a warm smile from Bucky in a fancy suit she never imagined him wearing. “Hey I’m not doubting that for a second. I’m just saying wait up a moment. You think I want to see this sham?” Bucky gestured back to the show. [i]“Who’ll kick the Krauts to Japan?”[/i] “Man that guy’s not even a very good dancer...” Bucky glanced back and shook his head. Watching on as the guy hoisted up a special prop motorcycle to look strong. Stephanie turned back for a moment to the stage, only to quickly shake her head. “I’m noticing a lot more things wrong with this than his bad dancing.” She noted before going back to her goal of leaving the theater. Only after a few steps pausing, “Still.” She looked back at Bucky. "Least I got you knowing I exist.” Stephanie noted with a smile. Bucky smiled back, “Hey what have I said? I’m with you ‘til the end of the line, pal.” Bucky wrapped an arm around Stephanie’s shoulder. “Now about that stiff drink...” [i]"The Star Spangled Man with a Plan!"[/i] [/hider] [hider=Reed Richards - Mr. Fantastic] [center][img]https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/578337889018253312/UfOSHR5V.jpeg[/img][/center] [center]“There's no problem that can't be solved.”[/center] [b]Your Name:[/b] Drewvonawesome [b]Character Name:[/b] Reed Richards [b]Character Alias:[/b] Mr. Fantastic [b]Character Allignment:[/b] Lawful Good [b]Character Appearance:[/b] Reed stands normally at around 6‘2 and although he is fit, still has a lanky look to him. Although Reed appears fit, a side effect of his powers has him only weighing in around 80 pounds. Clothing wise Reed has always maintained a clean, simple look. Usually a dress shirt, long or short sleeved. With khakis and a pair of sneakers, usually with a lab coat on considering that’s usually require for the things he does in his spare time. Even with his newfound powers Reed is still nearsighted and needs glasses. He realized quickly though the glasses were going to need to be as flexible as he is. It took him about an hour to develop and create such a pair of blue rimless glasses. It has to match the rest of the attire after all. Aside from everything else Reed also has a single strap backpack he wear out on the occasional mission that'll require extra gear. The suits do have pockets, but they're not very big. [b]Characters Abilities:[/b] Reed possesses the ability to stretch his body. stretching straight ahead, fingertip to toes, Reed can stretch his body 300 miles before he feels any discomfort or pain. Given the way his body was transformed in gaining his powers. Reed cannot get sick and is virtually impossible to use psychic powers against. On top of that, Reed's elastic powers allow him to be able to mold, inflate, flatten, and otherwise use his elastic powers to almost limitless possibilities. [b]Characters Skills:[/b] Although his elastic powers are the main thing that makes Reed Richards Mr. Fantastic. Reed himself would say that he considers his intelligence much more of his true super power. Its not much of an exaggeration either, Reed Richards is considered by and large one of the most intelligent people on the planet. Having cracked the top five of Forbes top 25 scientific minds of the twenty-first century. Ranking above teammate Susan Storm which he'll occasionally teasingly remind her. Knowing she's still slightly bitter about it. Having graduated High School at 14, and earning numerous college degrees by the time he was old enough to drink. [b]Origin Story:[/b] [b]Origin Story:[/b] Reed Richards was always destined to change the world, his father had told numerous people that when Reed was growing up. He never dwelled on such a notion personally, and didn’t really have the ego to be boastful about it. Instead Reed showed his incredible intelligence through a genuine passion and love for science in its many forms. Its not entirely coincidental either that Reed became such a person. Reed’s father Nathaniel Richards was a very well accomplished astrophysicist with best selling books and even a television mini series to his name. While Michelle Richards, Reed’s mother, was a chemist who has been credited with the creation of many key components for various medications. Even with all that behind him though, Reed’s intelligence was still a surprise to many, by the time most kids were learning the alphabet. Reed was learning the details of the periodic table, and by the time Reed had started going through puberty he was already a high school graduate and attending the University of California. It was around this time though that tragedy struck the Richards family deep. Nathaniel Richards had called his son around 10:15 at night, and told him that he loved him very much, but he had something important to do. This would be the last time Reed ever spoke to his father. Police reports and investigations turned up nothing on Nathaniel Richards’ whereabouts, and the case went completely cold. Reed’s mother was completely ruined emotionally by the turn of events. Quitting her high profile work and beginning working from home independently. Her and Reed still have a good relationship, but Reed knew his mother was now a shell of her former radiant self. The news sent shock waves through the scientific world, however it led to a unique turn of events for Reed. Soon after Reed was approached by Dr. Franklin Storm, a close friend to Nathaniel Richards. He had a think tank program known as The Future Foundation which had been operating for years with Government funding. He offered Reed an invitation to join the program but originally Reed refused. Wanting to attend school further and help console his mom in her grieving. Understanding, Dr. Storm decided to not pursue manners further. However Reed’s mom caught wind of the conversation. She didn’t want Reed to worry about her or grieve for his father. She trusted Dr. Storm having known him for many years, and made Reed assure her that while he never exactly forgot about her. That Reed made sure his own life was his first priority. Reed reluctantly agreed, and a week later joined Dr. Storm’s program. The next few years Reed, alongside Dr. Storm’s kids Susan and Johnny. Worked on a program that Reed was able to provide numerous assistances with. The program was to design a space craft that can go beyond any current vessel and go into faster than light speeds. A prototype was built and Reed, Susan, and Johnny were all set to perform the first real testing of the FTL craft. However due to things such as planetary alignments, and weather, the test window was slim. Made worse when the man charged with piloting the ship, Benjamin Grimm, became horribly sick with the flu. All hope seemed lost of the project when one of the interns who the group worked with, Jennifer Walters, offered to fly the plane. Showing she had a pilot’s license and could pass the simulation of operating the craft, since many of its control systems were based in modern aircrafts rather than typical space crafts. The day of testing started out perfect, the ship broke through Earth’s atmosphere cleanly. While the group set the coordinates to travel to Pluto and back. Although initial tests suggested the trip would take around 3 hours round trip. The ship was able to accomplish the feat in one hour. Although when they arrived near the dwarf planet the ship’s control systems gave a warning of dangerous cosmic radiations detected. The crew returned back to Earth and although it meant the results were successful in many ways. The four felt ill when they had arrived back on Earth, which along with an engine malfunction caused the ship to crash into the Atlantic Ocean. The team saved by last second heroics from Johnny. Strangely though the illness passed notably quickly, and testing revealed to radiation levels present on any of them. Soon though the four began to notice strange changes in themselves and each other. It all came to a head for Reed when while writing a entry about the test earlier in the day. Felt his body grow more and more loose, only to soon watch on in horror as his body turn to act more akin to rubber. Stretching and bending in unnatural ways. Reed eventually was able to keep a hold of himself and control his newfound elastic powers. But it was only the start in a series of events where Reed watched Susan vanish before his eyes, Johnny running around on fire but not hurt, and Jennifer turn much larger, stronger, and green. Originally no one in the group had any plans of superhero business... well besides Jennifer and Johnny. Reed meanwhile fell into a depression trying to figure out how to cure the others, feeling solely responsible for what happened. In the week after they returned to NYC however. A sudden attack on the city by a horrifying giant monster. Reed and the other three were able to stave off and stop the monster from destroying the city. Although the group was not able to figure out the monster’s origins. Their heroics quickly led to a change in their collective fate. Afterwards the public media found out about Reed and the others. From the discovery to their part in fighting the being. It all gave Reed a newfound sense of purpose, leading to him and the others officially becoming The Fantastic Four. Reed came up with the name as when he was little he used to daydream of being a superhero named Mr. Fantastic. Who would use science to solve the world’s problems and beat up criminals. He took up the alias (even though Johnny thought it was nerdy as hell), and the four began a newfound life as celebrity superheroes. Reed used the new found fame to help spread the word of science and its importance. Much in the same way his father had when Reed was growing up. Creating a charity for scholarships for young scientific minds, appearing on talk shows, and speaking on Congress about global warming. Reed Richards has seen the team come a long way in the last two years. As on top of all their work Reed and the rest of the team were integral to handling the Galactus situation. Now as they begin year three of The Fantastic Four, Mr. Fantastic can’t help but be excited for the future and what it holds. [b]Story Arcs:[/b] Stardom - As the Fantastic Four become a premier celebrity superhero team, Reed and the rest of the team quickly learn the price of high status. The Maker - A mysterious figure begins haunting Reed, seemingly to take Reed out. It only becomes more dangerous when its revealed to be an alternate reality Reed Richards. Driven mad by failure and out to prove his superiority, even if it means taking out every single other alternate reality Reed Richards in the process. Doomed - When Reed Richards begins looking into his father's disappearance. All signs begin to point to a particular castle in Latveria. Whisked Away - When the ruler of Atlantis becomes smitten with Susan Storm. He kidnaps her leaving the other three, especially Reed, in a mad dash to save her. [b]Supporting Cast:[/b] Nathanial Richards - Father - Missing, presumed dead - Reed deeply loved and respected his father. Reed hates not knowing what happened to his father, and has sworn to one day find him. Alive or dead, Reed just has to know the answers. Michelle Richards - Mother - A good woman, Reed’s mother was an equally accredited person. However when Nathanial went missing, Michelle was devastated. Quitting her job and beginning new work from home, a shell of her former self. Susan Storm - Teammate - Reed has always liked her, like a lot. Not just as someone to work with but in terms of her personality, not to mention her good looks. Even still though her intelligence is one Reed greatly appreciates, as she’s been one of the only people in his life who can keep up with him, even surpassing him in some areas. When the media started looking towards who the leader of the team is, Reed didn’t hesitate to let Susan shine. Johnny Storm - Teammate - Reed admittedly doesn’t know as much about Johnny as his older sister Susan. He knows Johnny has a lot of engineering ability, and that his had many issues. Jennifer Walters - Teammate - Like Johnny Reed doesn’t really know her that much. When they first met Jennifer was kind of an easy person to forget. Small girl who didn’t really speak up much. Now a days she’s much more different. Though in a weird way it helped her break out of her shell which in turn gave Reed a great idea of how she is, and thus becoming good friends with her. Franklin Storm - Susan's father - The head of the project, Franklin always struck Reed as a troubled soul. He knew way, Franklin losing his wife gave Reed in plenty of ways memories of losing his dad. Still his very by the book, stern, and in a lot of ways clearly very protective of Susan. It does make Reed wonder though how such a man could father Johnny, who is borderline polar opposite.

Hulk smash real good!”[/center] [b]Your Name:[/b] Drewvonawesome [b]Character Name:[/b] Jennifer Walters [b]Character Alias:[/b] Hulk/She-Hulk [b]Character Allignment:[/b] Chaotic Good [b]Character Appearance:[/b] How Jennifer looks really depends on the moment. Under normal pre-space flight conditions, Jennifer was really a tiny girl. She only stood about 5‘3 and while she was healthy did have a bit of a skinny frame to her. Her nearsighted eyes requiring glasses, and Jennifer usually preferring to wear simple, un-flattering dresses. When she turns into Hulk however, Jennifer blooms into a green skinned amazon powerhouse. Towering at 6'7 and weighing in at an incredible 550 pounds of pure muscle and strength. Jennifer's hair and eyes also turn the same shade of green from their respective brown and blue. [b]Characters Abilities:[/b] When she is normal Jennifer is healthy and fit which give her the standard levels of strength and ability for a normal person. However when she uses her powers to go into her hulk form her abilities multiply greatly. Granting her superhuman strength, endurance, and healing time. She retains her intelligence and can change in and out of her normal and hulk forms at will. Though the process for doing so strains her body and causes her pain. So its not something she'll do on a whim unless the circumstances call for it, as well as only being able to do it so many times a day before she needs time to recover. [b]Characters Skills:[/b] Although not quite superhuman smart, Jennifer is an intelligent woman. With partial college credits towards a degree in law. She has some self defense training from a course she took while in college, and after gaining her powers starts studying mixed martial arts to improve her ability in action. Also, something she's never really shared with anyone else, but she has been getting the sense as of late she might be a character in a post by post role play... don't ask. [b]Origin Story:[/b] ((Coming soon)) [b]Story Arcs:[/b] Always Angry - When tragedy hits Jennifer's private life, she begins to slowly lose control of herself with mounting rage. Leaving the rest of the team to have to stop her from rampaging and destroying the city. The Defense Rests - Despite not fully accredited as a lawyer yet, Jennifer has to defend Johnny Storm in an intergalactic court against a being known as Ronan The Accuser. [b]Supporting Cast:[/b] Morris Walters - Father - He was alright, he was an attorney but losing his wife and Jennifer’s mom caused his once shining career to plummet. He only gets work now as a low end state attorney, and often drinks himself to sleep. Thankfully his never been abusive to Jennifer, but she still is haunted from time to time of that mental image of him. Laying on the sofa, watching TV static late at night, drinking, and crying. Elaine Banner-Walters - Mother - Deceased - She doesn’t really know her mother, Elaine died when Jennifer was 5 years old. Her dad always told her she was a great woman, kind and gentle. Bruce Banner - Cousin - Bruce was never really much of a talker as Jennifer knew him. He came from an admittedly much worse off house than her. Still they confided in each other a lot growing up, living only around 15 minutes from one another when they were younger. These days though Jennifer doesn’t really speak to him much. Its not out of spite or hatred, but Bruce is just difficult to get hold of. Reed Richards - Teammate - The brains of the squad, Reed has always had a aire of almost mad scientist minus the mad part in Jennifer’s mind at least. Someone who could think of something insane but very useful, and a few hours later would have it finished and working perfectly. It wasn’t until the team really formed though Jennifer worked up the nerve to talk to him. Finding out what an approachable, and kind guy he was. His not quite her type dating wise though, plus his CLEARLY got a thing for Susan. Susan Storm - Teammate - Susan and Jennifer have always been friends, since Jennifer’s friendship with Johnny meant knowing Susan by association. Susan though isn’t at all like him, the bravado and outlandish replaced with bravery and willpower of vibranium. Susan is the team’s leader and beating heart, the main spoke that makes all the gears work. Its almost impossible for Jennifer to not respect the Hell out of her. Johnny Storm - Teammate/BFF - Jennifer’s brother from a different mother. The two knew one another since they were little and around him was the only time Jennifer felt like she could let her hair down so to speak. Though she’s gotten in trouble numerous times because of him. He always has the good sense to help her out of any situation, caused by him or not. She’s still eternally thankful Johnny’s on the team too. If there was anyone in this crazy situation her life is now she’d want to experience it all with, its Johnny Storm. Sparky - Cat - She got Sparky fairly recently, someone to keep her company in her small apartment after work and study. Lazy little thing, usually just lounges around and does his own thing. [/hider]
