[OOC] All-Star Marvel: Age of Heroes

[Enarr]

Trying to decide whether to do a Cyclops here or in UOU.

[Gowi]

I already have three characters, but I see I wasn't the only one inspired by the Cyclops mention.

[Rade]

I was gonna say, Gowi, how many characters do you need in one RP?

Henry, I like that you didn't take the amnesiac Logan approach. I'll see where I stand on concrete Kitty ideas. Also, how old is Jean?

[Sloth]

Rade said Also, how old is Jean?

As old as you want her to be.

[Rade]

Helpful as always, Joe.

I do my best.

[Taka]

Goddamn it.....Welp that takes Logan out the run for me.

I should just make Krovus cause the Blade of the Pheonix is awesome or...*gasp* good guy Vulcan.

Might have another idea (and some posts up tonight, yo) since Henry's mutants are so compelling and I do feel very.... tonight. :3

No! Don't do it! My CS is almost done!

Edit: In retrospect, this probably doesn't refer to Quire. Still needed a push to get him out though.

Player Name: ErsatzEmperor
Character You Wish To Play: Quintavius 'Quentin' Quire
Moral Alignment (Hero, Villain, Walking the Line): Villain
Affiliation (what group/team/organization, if any, is your character affiliated with?): None. Formerly, Advanced Idea Mechanics.
Character Origin & Backstory: W.I.P
Powers and Abilities (What can you're character do? What can't they do?):

• Telepathy: with the aid of the A.I.M 'harness', Quire is able to read the thoughts of anyone, providing that they have no guards in place or indeed possess a brain. He is also able to impose his own thoughts upon others, either as a communicative response or in an effort to subtly control them. He is able to reach out to no more than five people within close proximity of himself. Originally envisioned to allow the user communication with animals, unhindered by the language barrier, the resulting weapon was deemed 'too unethical for A.I.M' and placed in cold storage. That in itself is saying something about the power it holds.


• Telekinesis: The aforementioned device also gives the user a form of telekinesis. Guided by the head rather than the hands, this feature cannot be utilised simultaneously with telepathic control as it would over heat the user. Capable of lifting up to sixteen tonnes otherwise unaided (affording some users the ability to fly), this function can be negated by possessing limited concentration.


• Telekinetic weapons: Due to the wrist-mounted device he now possess, he has the ability to form a knife of pure telekinetic energy. This, in turn, has the ability to interact with actual matter, sometimes allowing it to cut through it. The device is temperamental and power consuming. It is hidden beneath a mess of wrist bands and beads to keep up the pretence of 'mutant'.


• Brawling: While he has received no formal training, Quire has developed a brawling technique. This form is brutal and a little passionate, though can leave him very open to attack in groups consisting of more than one participant.


• Intellect: While possessing a strong, gifted mind! he is cautious to use it. He is highly mentally lazy, preferring to take from the backs of more guided men.

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):

"Hands in the air! Put them in the air. Aren't you listening to me? Hands in the ai--"

THWIPP!

The S.W.A.T officer flies to one side with an almost explosive force. He lands with an apparent crunch, first knocking the vault door slightly ajar. He doesn't seem to be moving. As the superpowered criminal crosses the threshold to it's prize, they take another look at this broken man before walking over them.

"Hands in the air? Google me! Laws don't apply to me!" The young adult calls back, one arm and one finger firmly raised.

"And there you are. Can't see why the pigs would want to protect you. You're not really that shiny."

Sat infront of him, a pile of gold stacked high and wide. Hundreds upon thousands of blocks. A treasure hunter's dream. But no leather.

"Wrong vault..." Quire chastises. As he turns however, exiting seems slightly more difficult than once thought. Five officers, the barrels of their guns facing him down, begin to bar his exit. Quire seems to have time to say something before they start firing. Make it count.

"Fuck."

You're still welcome to try for him. There's still a couple of hours left.

Naw. I'd prefer not to. I don't want to make the CS and put so much effort into it and not get him when I could do that with Vulcan nor would I want Henry's hardwork to go to waste if I was to beat him for the character. Its just how I see things. I respect his Logan as he just got the X-Men up and running. Plus if I'm lucky, night will make Cyclops and we can force someone to be Havok. The Summers brothers shall exist.

Fair enough.

[Rade]

No rough/incomplete CS for Otto, yet, EE?

[Gowi]

I was gonna say, Gowi, how many characters do you need in one RP?

ENOUGH TO FILL MY CREATIVE DRIVE.

So... four I guess.

Surprised my head came up with the idea in all honesty, it's like a first post is coming to life in my head. Though I could ignore that.

Working on it. It'll come later on, for sure.

[Rade]

Okie dokie. Just making sure you were still planning on being Otto.

[Gowi]

Working on finishing the Kravinoff post I started last night.

Thanks. Logan's amnesia has always been one of my least favorite aspects of the character. IMO it was an easy excuse for his violent ways to continue. I prefer a character that's lived for a century and a half and remembers every single person he's killed. I think it adds more to the character. I'd rather have the man who knows the animal is in the back of his mind and tries to keep it there rather than the man who lets the animal always has control because eff it that's all he knows.

Also, I'd say Jean is around 27-28. She was really young when Logan found her.

The thing about Wolverine, and the only real reason I like him, is the inner turmoil of him fighting his savage nature. I see him as someone who's like a Phoenix, he can be destroyed only to rise again and claim vengeance on those who've wronged him. I like him because of the fact that he doesn't question what's right, he Instinctively acts on his feelings and what he knows. It looks like that is the kind of Wolverine you're going for.

Though I do believe that he often suffers from poor characterization and general overuse.

As much as I love Wolverine, I also feel that the loner, forgotten past versions have been done to death as well. I like the idea that he's a father figure to Jean. We'll see how the violent Logan and parental Logan co-exist.

Also, since you've gone for the Weapon X history and we have backgrounds that cross slightly, would you like to discuss the possibility of team-up/crossover arcs for the future, if you so desire of course? I'll PM you some details I have for ideas tomorrow when I collect them.
