[OOC] Captain America: Return of Old Friends

[Jones Sparrow]

The world is a new place. Ever since the Avengers took down Loki and his alien army, the world hasn't really been normal since. S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't really have to conceal super humans anymore... or hide themselves for that matter. The world has a sense of protection. A hope when there's a worse case scenario... Which might be sooner than people think. It may be months after The Battle of New York, but it has been over 70 years since Steve Rogers has left his own world. He left everything he knew and loved and woke up in a country he barely recognized. Now a covert S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent, Rogers travels the world stopping potential threats to not only the United States, but the world... But he isn't the only one who has been sleeping.

Old foes of the Sentinel of Liberty are coming back... and forming together to take out the one who destroyed their plans, or future ones. Enemies like the Red Skull, The Winter Soldier, and Baron von Strucker will do anything in their paths to kill Rogers, and everything he stands for... But Rogers won't be alone. S.H.I.E.L.D. will personally give him access to form a team of his choice to take down the super villains. Under his legendary leadership, They might be able to take them down...



RULES:
1) this is a Captain America RP, so i wouldn't like major Avenger characters like Iron Man or Thor in this. Although Black Widow and Hawkeye and people in S.H.I.E.L.D. are accessable
2) You can create your own hero, and S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent! but don't make them OP'd... just be fair
3) You can be a hero/villain, but i would HIGHLY recommend being a hero. Villains kinda have to wait around, and they usually just cause action
4) Not only will this be a action RP, but also a kinda drama-ish one... Cap is a deep character believe it or not haha. He had morals that aren't that common in today's society, and also has a sense of loneliness.

Name: Steve Rogers
AKA: Captain America
Age: over 80 years old, But appears 22
Appearance:
Bio: (gonna use the Movieverse since it fits more in my opinion haha)

I was born in Brooklyn on July 4th, 1918. My Father died in The Great War, and my mother was a nurse who died of pneumonia. I wasn't a strong kid... at all. I got bullied, and picked on, and beat up. Lets just say i really don't like bullies. One day I was in another one of my fights when a much stronger, and cooler kid came to help me. He beat the snot out of them. He told me his name was James "Bucky" Barnes. And we were friends for life from that moment on. After watching propaganda for World War II, i desperately wanted to help fight the good fight. I tried multiple times to enlist, with different stories, and different names. I was always rejected. One of these attempts i was confronted by a German man named Dr. Erskine, asking me questions and why i wanted to join so badly... he gave me the opportunity to enlist.

At boot camp i went through hell. I clearly wasn't cut out for it, but i kept telling myself this was to help others...And Peggy Carter's face made it worth while too...When i sacrificed myself for a fake grenade, i passed the test. I was the first, and only experiment in Operation: Rebirth. It was very painful, but after the experiment... I was taller. Stronger. And felt like i could actually do something... but that was short lived. I started to sell war bonds for the army. I wasn't in the front lines sacrificing my life like others. I was punching a fake Adolf Hitler in the jaw... until i rescued P.O.W.'s behind enemy lines, one of them being Bucky. That's also where i saw the failed experiment of Dr. Erskine, The Red Skull, or Johann Shmidt.

After that i was a war hero. A man people trusted to follow into battle. And it felt amazing. I got a shield that could block anything, and with that and my squad, we started taking out the Axis Powers and H.Y.D.R.A... One mission Bucky fell off a train and into a large ditch... i never saw him again. It took a lot to get me back into action... but this was the one was to go after the man who took away my best friend. I went to Shmidt's hidden base, chased him into a plane, and we fought. He was taken into the mythical tool that gave him all his power called the Tesseract, and he left me to deal with a nuke carrying plane heading straight to Brooklyn. I had no other choice but to crash the ship into the ocean, taking me with it... saying goodbye to Peggy, and everything i loved.

I woke up later in confusion, and a completely different New York. I was told that i was sleeping for over 70 years, and we won the war... It was tough. waking up to a completely new country, with completely new views... and all the things that happened when i was out... A week later Director Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D. tells me he has a mission for me to save the world along with other heroes of the modern age. At first we fought, and disagreed, and hit rock bottom... but in the end, Stark, Thor, Black Widow, Hawkeye, and Dr. Banner and I stopped the threat. After the battle we all split up... But i stuck with S.H.I.E.L.D. I was a soldier, and old habits die hard.

Personality: Has an incredible sense of Honor, courage, and humility. Absolutely hates bullies. Always wants to see the good in people. Will do anything to help the weak and defenseless. Very shy around women, but once in the battlefield he gives off a strong sense of leadership and calmness. Feels like his ideals and morals are outdated, and misses the ones he cared for the most.

Powers/Traits/Weapon(s) : Peak human strength, speed, durability, stamina, agility, reflexes, and healing. He is as perfect as a human could ever get. Can dodge a bullet point blank, very flexible, a master tactician, photographic memory, knows how to use and operate any weapon and vehicle, and has mastered his own combinations of hand-to-hand combat, a mix of everything. He also can overcome any temptations, and gets the job done. Carries a vibranium-metal alloy mix shield that can absorb most of an object's kinetic energy, and can rebound of any surface. Can only be broken on a molecular level.

Other: Loves apple pie, is a very good artist, and knows spanish, english, german, russian, japanese and some italian.

Name: Shang Chi
Aka: Master of Combat
Age: 25
Appearance:

Field Suit

Bio: Shang Chi was groomed to be a grandmaster at an early age. All he ever knew was the pursuit of martial perfection. But as he grew older and more curious, he began to question the purpose of this life that his father had claimed for him. His own investigative work soon revealed that his father was Fu Man Chu, leader of one of the world's most vicious criminal empires to date. The revelation shook his core, as he wanted no part in his schemes. So he fled at an early age, making an oath to the world that he would do everything within his power to stop his father's evil doings. Fu Man Chu was angered by his son's disobedience and has since sent trained assassins to kill him. But Shang Chi stayed off his father's radar for 10 years, honing his abilities by mastering new ones. He was recruited into S.H.I.E.LD's hong kong division where he was trained in tactical warfare and espionage. After several S.H.I.E.L.D. campaigns, Shang Chi was secretly relieved of his duties by Col. Nicholas Joseph Fury and went rogue.

Rumor has it that he's investigating the terrorist activities of his father's criminal organization around the globe.

Personality: Shang Chi reflects a calm demeanor, even in combat. He is a patient man with a sharp mind and an indomitable will to overcome the impossible.

Powers/traits/weapon(s) :

Chi Manipulation: Honed though intense years of martial arts training, Shang Chi has complete control over his mind and body. He is able to enter a trancelike state to resist poisonous effects or ignore pain. Chi mastery allows him to detect nearby individuals and at its most optimum, withstand and inflict serious damage amongst superhumans.

Master Martial Artist: Widely considered the greatest martial artist to have ever lived, Shang Chi is a grandmaster in nearly all disciplines. While Chinese martial arts is his particular specialization, he has adopted a new style that incorporates an organic mix of all styles.

Weapons: While nearly anything in his hands could be used as a deadly weapon, Shang Chi prefers to use his fists. However, S.H.I.E.L.D., through Tony Stark's directive, has constructed special metal bracelets for him that can deflect knives and bullets.

[Jones Sparrow]

Accepted!!

[Skull]

yeshhhh

[Hillan]

I kinda wanna get in on this.
What are we talking about, in terms of activity? Twice a week? Casual standards or high-casual?

Should I be a human, or can I make a mutant? Was thinking of maybe doing Ben Reiley / Parker.

[Jones Sparrow]

I would prefer more than twice a week. slow activity causes the RP to die down, yet too much activity causes people to drop out because they can't keep up..

And as for casual, I don't really care for a maximum/minimum. I personally prefer quality over quanity. If its a really good, and driven post, then i won't mind it being short.

You can create any character you'd like, or pick your favorite hero, but i don't really want anyone too big like Stark or Thor stealing the show. Its a Cap RP. If you can make someone fit into it, go for it!

[Hillan]

I'll make Ben, then. Cheers.

[Hillan]

Name:
Ben Richard Reiley
Aka:
Scarlet Spider
Age:
23
Appearance:

Except the red parts are darker-blue, and with the shield logo on the back.
Bio:
Ben is the artificially created clone of a certain Peter Parker, Spider-Man. He didn't inherent any of Parker's memories, yet, he feels a strong connection to certain things. Things he can't quite figure out, Regardless, that was three years ago Spider-Man was cloned. Ben's purpose was to eliminate and destroy the Spider-Man. Which he attempted. He found the Webhead, and the two fought. The fight was long as bloody, and it happened all over New York. The two clones trading blows and shooting web. Evenly matched in every sense.
The fight ended with both of them passing out on a rooftop in Queens. Ben would later find out about the man who had created him, a scientist who had been hired by The Kingpin. His name was Michael, and by the time Ben had gotten to Michael, after recovering from his wounds from Parker, the lab was already gone. Instead, he was contacted by a certain Director Fury, whom promised him a opportunity to save the world. Ben reluctantly accepted, and went into S.H.I.E.L.D training for a year and a half. At which point he was deployed into the field. He himself, a little bit disappointed he wasn't allowed to join the Avengers Initiative.

But now, he's given a real shot at saving the world, all the while working along side one of the greatest heroes of all time.
Personality:
Witty, immature and loud-mouthed. He talks as much as he eats. He's one to pull jokes even in really uncomfortable situations. The dude has a pretty serious anger problem that he tends to keep hidden from others by cracking jokes and playing the role of a jester. He's also got a huge complex about the fact that he's not the real spider-man.

Powers/traits/weapon(s):
Enhanced Physical Features:
Strength, Agility, Speed, Durability, Healing factory are all on par with that of the original spider-man.
Spider-Sense:
A sixth-sense, giving him precognitive abilities, allowing him to sense when there's danger to him or someone he cares about. His spider-sense is less fine-tuned than Peter's.
Web-Shooters: Ben holds specially made web-shooters that shoots web more powerful than that of Parker's. They're mounted to his wrists, and he can make several patterns out of them in just a matter of moments.
Other:

He does for some reason really like 90's Boyband-music.

[Jones Sparrow]

Nice! Accepted!

[Hillan]

[Hillan]

Okay, so when we starting?

[Skull]

Probably until we get 2-3 more...

I created Emily in the old Guild and never really got to play her and hope you'll give her a chance

Full Name: Emily Freedom Rodgers
Hometown: Albany New York
Age: 18
Code name: Freedoms Shield
Ability/Abilities:
Her strength, endurance, agility, speed, reflexes, durability, and healing are at the zenith of natural human potential. Rogers' body regularly replenished the super-soldier serum, it does not wear off.
The formula enhances all of her metabolic functions and prevents the build-up of fatigue poisons in her muscles, giving her endurance far in excess of an ordinary human being.
This accounts for many of her extraordinary feats, including bench pressing 1200 pounds (545 kg) and running a mile (1.6 km) in 73 seconds (49 mph/78 kph).
Rogers cannot become intoxicated by drugs, including alcohol,or by impurities in the air and is immune to terrestrial diseases.
She is also highly resistant to hypnosis or gases that could limit her focus.
High proficiency in Judo, Boxing, Taekwondo, Krav Maga and Capoeira
She has an energy enhanced shield built by Tony Stark using materials similar to those that make up his armor which can be used with either arm to either block attacks or as an improvised offensive weapon.
An additional effect of it's unusual construction is that it is able to cut through metal with relative ease. Much like her great-uncle's vibranium shield the energy shield can also be thrown, including ricocheting off multiple surfaces and returning to her hand,
Her uniform is made of a fire-retardant material, and she wears a lightweight, bulletproof "duralumin" scale armor beneath her uniform for added protection.

Brief bio:
The secrets of creating a super-soldier were lost with the death of its creator, Dr. Abraham Erskine but a sample lot was discovered by a secret branch of the Army's R&D agency.
Eager to try and recreate the project they began researching the best course.
However, in the decades after the creation of Captain America there have been numerous secret attempts to recreate Erskine's treatment, only to have them end in failure. Even worse, the attempts have instead often created psychopathic super villains.
It was during their research that they discovered one of Dr. Erskine's secrets, Steve Rodger's DNA had a unique marker that was needed.
Having only a small amount of the ”Project Rebirth” serum they began a fevered search after 911 for Rodger's extended family and a suitable subject.
Emily Freedom Rodgers was born on July 4, 1994 in Albany N.Y. to Ernest Rodgers and Lacy Jones Rodgers.
Emily was a normal girl living the middle class life in Albany when at the age of 12 they found her. Her genetic markers were perfect for the revival of Rebirth and the R&D lab created conditions that led to her seizure by DFACS on the trumped up charges of Abuse.
Once they had her they began their research, at first giving her small doses of serum along with artificial energy stimulation they found her body like her great uncle's could regenerate serum and they could leach it from her. Each round of bloodlessly was like being set on fire for young Emily but none cared how she felt. Blinded by a lust for power they kept her caged like an animal between sessions without a care for her mental well being.
For two years they tortured poor Emily then at the age of 14 after using her body as a factory they'd collected enough serum and merely kept her on hand for future study.
They'd failed to notice that during their experiments Emily's body had changed and while she wasn't a super soldier by use of the serum, her adolescent body had mutated mimicking its effects.
They had planned on keeping her and their project a secret but one day Agent's of SHIELD raided their operation.
Arresting all those connected with the legal project SHIELD doctors had discovered what the project's doctors had missed, Emily was no longer a normal girl.
SHIELD reunited young Emily with her parents but maintained a watch on her after swearing her to secrecy.
They also under a covert project known only as Mentor inserted agents in her area who's duties were to direct her development. Some were teachers in her school, others were shop owners one was the local martial arts instructor.
Shield remembered all the help her great uncle had been and saw in Emily the chance to create his replacement in the Avengers should he quit, retire or be killed.
Emily was encouraged to be a new hope for the future of america. Her school received the best teachers Shield could covertly entice to teach there and because of this the school scored higher over all in their work and grades.
Emily knowing of her power couldn't help herself and has used her abilities to safeguard her town from time to time.
This required that Shield supply her with a uniform and shield to protect her true identity. Lucky for Shield her home's location and the surrounding area are sparely populated and seldom suffer major crimes.
One day the Avengers were battling against a powerful foe in California when Nick Fury found out that AIM was moving something important. He knew that they were taking advantage of the Avengers absence and that he must move fast. Sending out a call to Emily he had her join a SHIELD team as a counter to any supers that they might have.
Emily while not as skilled as her great uncle she is by her nature a super soldier with an excellent tactical ability.
Shortly after stopping the convoy of AIMs transports a battle began. Emily and the Agents she was around were having great success till an AIM agent fired off an RPG type weapon several times at her group. They'd taken refuge near a transport which was struck twice. The devices they were transporting began exploding leaving Emily little choice but to cover the retreat of her agents. It was while beginning her own escape that an explosion caused a device known as the Siege Perilous to activate and suck Emily into it before disappearing it's self. Falling through dimensions Emily was on a one way journey which dropped her into. Central park in an alternate dimension.
Injured and needing to conceal herself she quickly found shelter. This New York being so much like the one in her dimension Emily tried to make contact with SHIELD to no avail as her encryption systems were not compatible with those here. Her equipment having suffered so much damage she assumed that her transmitter was busted and hit the beacon which did show on SHIELDs systems as an unauthorized use of their frequency.
Dispatching a team of agents SHIELD soon made the startling discovery of Emily dressed in her Uniform. After an initial bit of confusion which could have erupted into a fight when Emily asked for a counter sign identification she was brought in and debriefed.
It was only after the Appearance of Director Fury that she shifted her cover story and told them the truth. She knew he was not her Fury but she could sense in the man all those qualities she'd come to respect and admire even in his alternate.
Fury for his part was stunned and elated when he found that he'd not only been given a new Super Soldier but one that was loyal to SHIELD's mission and himself. He at first thought to use her as an agent and not expose her existence to those outside the need to know till he remembered that Steve Rodgers himself didn't react well to being lied to and always discovered when someone did, it was another of the annoying side effects of Erskine's formula.

[RumikoOhara]

Did this RP die?

[Skull]

Not sure... but I'm still here.

[RumikoOhara]

Dam an I really would like to play Emily

[Jones Sparrow]

I hope it isn't dead! haha but your character seems interesting... So its an alternate dimension where Rogers' brother lives and carries on the genes... It'll be interesting to see how they act with each other haha. Accepted!

[RumikoOhara]

Actually Emily's his great grand niece in the alternate dimension and she idolizes her uncle steve which is the reason she chose the call sign Freedom's Shield
Of course he and she would have certain clashes in some areas, one being that she's been raised with different expectations of how a girl acts an dresses

[Willem3141592]

Name: Marc Willems

Aka: Recon

Age: 23

Appearance:

Inside armour

Outside armour

Bio: Marc was born and raised in the Netherlands. He was born with a lethal nerve disease, while everyone else died around the age of 5, Marc never had any discomfort from it and lived a normal healthy life. He joined a Dutch branch of the S.H.I.E.L.D. academy, euroM.I.N.D., learning the basics. Unfortunately his disease caught up with him in his second year and he was paralysed from his waist down. Due to this he had to transfer to the intelligence assessment branch. The following years his health kept decreasing. Fearing for his life, Marc tried many kinds of medicine and eventually he managed to get his hands on a variant of the superhuman serum. It is unknown how, but Marc survived the effects of the serum and his entire nerve system was replaced by a different kind of nerve system. The effect was additional and greatly enhanced senses, as well motor skills, at the cost of over-sensitivity and over-stimulation. Despite this he managed to graduate academy, get recruited by S.H.I.E.L.D. and take on a couple of missions.

Personality: Marc is a friendly and warm person, often smiling and making the best of his life. His over-stimulation has put a dent in this somewhat, and there are moments when he's very irritable. He's open-minded and tries to see things from every angle. He also prefers logic and well laid plans.

Powers/traits/weapon(s):

• Super sight: He is able to see with enhanced clarity,detail and frequency, as well from a greater distance. With much concentration he is able to zoom in on objects, magnifying them. He's also able to see a bit into the ultra-violet and infra-red spectrum. His field of view is also a it larger than than of a normal human and is able to see very well in the dark.


• Super hearing: His hearing is able to pick up very soft sounds and he has a very wide range of frequencies he can listen too, even radio. With much concentration he is able to pick out one sound and focus on it.


• Super smell: Marc can smell traces that are usually only found by analytical machines and deduct the composition of it..


• Super taste: Same as smell, but for taste.


• Super touch: With this Marc can feel the slightest changes in pressure, including those through air and is able to sense very precisely the temperature of faraway objects.


• Super balance: Marc has an excellent sense of balance.


• Electro and radiation awareness: He is able to sense electric fields and different forms of radiation.


• Super reflexes: Not only his sensory nerve system change, his motoric nerve system has too. His reflexes are near instantaneous.


• Super muscle control/dexterity: Marc is very precise and never shakes. He is able to move every consciously controlled muscle exactly as he wants to. This includes his vocal cords, allowing him to reach otherwise inaccessible frequencies and volumes. It also makes him an excellent voice impersonator and ventriloquist.


• Improved pain resistance: While nowhere near 'enhanced' levels, Marc is able to deal very effectively with pain, because of his constant exposure to it. Rarely, in moments of great concentration or stress he is able to shut it off.

The downside to this all is that he can't control all of it. He is not able to power down and is constantly bombarded with sensory input. This gives him very heavy headaches. He's also very sensitive to everything, for examples bad smells and the like and flash-bangs and the like will render him unconscious due to exposure.

He wears a rather standard S.H.I.E.L.D. armour, only it is outfitted with sense dampening features such as noise-cancelling headphones, changing his senses more to an 'enhanced' level. His weapons are a standard S.H.I.E.L.D. pistol, knife and a quarterstaff for keeping enemies at distance in close combat.

Other: Marc is addicted to painkillers and alcohol, because these numb his senses.
