Avengers Academy (1x1x1 Drew/Spud/Chao)

‘May You Never Yield, May You Never Fail.’

Its a name that has always been associated with bravery, heroics, and serving for the greater good. Men and women, from those possessing the mightiest of powers, to even the most humble and skilled. All have come and gone over the many years, seeking the kind of glory that only comes with joining such an elite team.

That team? The Avengers.

~ First page of the Avengers Academy pamphlet

Created as a response to the growing panic over countless threats like Hydra, mutants and by association The Brotherhood, and many others. Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division, or SHIELD for short. Created what was then called The Avengers Initiative. Led by the recently unfrozen World War II hero Captain America, the team has been a symbol of hope in all the madness in the world. Providing not just defense for serious dangers against the world, but aid to those in need as well.

Many have come and gone from the ranks of The Avengers, either voluntarily or from unfortunate circumstances. The two biggest constants of the team though have been Steve Rogers and Tony Stark, respectably Captain America and Iron Man. However even with his peek physical skills Steve finally decided to slow down. Shocking the world when he announced he was stepping down effective immediately as leader of The Avengers. What shocked everyone even more was what Steve Rogers had decided to do with his newfound free time.

Even as a man from the past, Steve always wanted to look ahead. The next new recruits that would lead The Avengers into the next century and beyond. To that end he brought up an idea to Nick Fury that would eventually lead to the creation of Avengers Academy. A private academy that would bring in great young heroes to be. Teach them everything important, and train them in handling their powers and combat scenarios.

The Academy would be a prime target for enemies though. So Nick Fury had it be commissioned to be on the top of a specially made helicarrier. Which ensured a perfectly safe environment that keeps outside distractions to a minimum. The academy however features many amenities for staff and students alike. Not only a state of the art training area that doubles as an athletic arena for basketball, football, soccer, baseball, and even ice hockey. A pair of Olympic sized swimming pools. Plus there is a student lounge filled with video games, pool and air hockey tables, and some of the most comfy couches you will ever rest your rear end on.

While some of the teachers and faculty staff consist of either paid normal teachers or medical personal. A majority of the staff either hails from SHIELD or are former Avengers in their own right. Hank Pym, formerly the original Ant-Man, runs the science labs and program at Avengers Academy as an example.

This year promises to be Avengers Academy’s most interesting year yet, as students are arriving in from around the world to either continue studies or are new. None are aware yet of the crazy year ahead.

Rules/world guidelines:

- The school is high school/college aged stuff, 15 year olds going up to 21 year olds.

- There is a dress code for classes and training but its fairly loose. Going on shirts, polos, button ups, even hoodies, each with the Avengers Academy logo on it and a flag on the left sleeve representing the student’s country of origin. For gym and hand to hand combat class, the students have sleeveless Avengers Academy shirts, and MMA style board shorts and fingerless padded gloves. Outside of classes students can wear whatever they want barring anything considered offensive. When it comes to costumes students can bring in their own (typically not as high quality as it can be) or a small team of seamstresses can measure you out for one after your first year of classes.

- The two dorms on campus are divided by gender, with two to a room. Usually paired randomly though if the students agree to it, are allowed to switch rooms to stay with friends.

On the character sheet are two separate sections, the first is a basic set up, the second is a sheet that Avengers Academy supervisors and teachers have filled out on your character. Initial observation report being the first impressions the staff had on your character. Training regimen/expertise is what kind of specific classes the student has been put into, and if any a natural skill they have that will be utilized in field. Potential outlook is the general feeling among the staff about the student’s future as an Avenger. Finally base case scenario and worst case scenario aren’t basically becomes an Avenger or doesn’t, but looks at how they would function as an Avenger given their strength and flaws. What their role on a team would be essentially.

Yeah I've been busy, I'll post tomorrow, but I'm a little concerned considering nothing's stopping you and me, but I'm wondering if they're still paying attention to this.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier (Drew/Spud)

“Doesn’t matter what the press says. 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. When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move. Your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world--

No, you move.”

Your Name: Drewvonawesome

Character Name: Stephanie Rogers

Character Alias: Captain America

Character Allignment: Neutral Good

Character Appearance: Stephanie Rogers stands at an imposing 6‘4 and weighs in at around 250 pounds. 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.

Characters Abilities: 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.

Characters Skills: 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.

Origin Story: 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 a new found sense of pride, Stephanie happily accepted joining the Avengers. Feeling her field medical work, and general army experience will hopefully provide a lot of help to the rest of the team.

“Who’s strong and brave, here to save the American Way?”

“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.

“Who vows to fight like a man for what’s right night and day?”

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.

“Who’ll give the Axis the sack, and is smart as a fox?”

“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.

“Who’ll kick the Krauts to Japan?”

“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...”

"The Star Spangled Man with a Plan!"

The Legion of Superheroes RETURN

Even being as much of a rookie technically as Captain Marvel was, he still couldn't hold back the look him and the others gave one another when Cap suggested talking things out. The look that suggested 'oh those rookies am I right?' Still, Bulk Lad was aching for a fight. It was his hypersu skills that got him on the team for the most part. Well that and his insane appitate, that probably helped in a weird sort of way.

Well... they did have Matter Eater Lad on the team so...

When Bulk Lad got close, he didn't wait for any of the numerous clones to start talking. By the property damage that had already happened it was clear they weren't in a talkative mood. Instead Bulk Lad cut the flying he was doing. Suddenly diving to the ground like a rock. Bulk Lad aimed his shot as he fell, finally with a mighty thrust slammed both of his feet right into the surprised chest of one of the clones with a drop kick.

Bulk Lad - 13 hp
Multiplus - 15 hp [-1 hp from drop kick]

Even though Bulk Lad's landing seemed to make the ground quake, as well as left Bulk Lad laying in a small self made crater. He was still plenty spry enough to roll back a touch, using momentum and a little shocking agility to get back to his feet. Glancing over Bulk Lad cupped his hands so Captain Marvel could hear him. "Hey not that I don't appreciate the passive approach, but they don't seem to want to talk!" Bulk Lad sounded like he was having a ton of fun, why wouldn't he? Beating people up was something he was very good at.

Before Bulk Lad could get back to work though he felt a few of the clones suddenly start climbing on him. Trying to pound away on him, but all the small strikes weren't doing much to stop him. Only making things worse was Bulk Lad, laughing as he was swiping at them like they were insects. "Hey stop that! It tickles!" Bulk Lad commanded without a response. So finally the massive hero took matters into his own hands. Grabbing one of the clones at their legs. Hoisting the clone around like a human shaped clothesline. He started swinging at the other two clones to get them off of him.

Bulk Lad - 9 hp [-4, two basic punches from clones]
Multiplus - 13 hp [-2 from two clotheslines]

Alright posted finally....

Small aside, and this isn't something like I'm enforcing as a rule or whatever. I tend to approach RPs based on something kids watch with a sort of PG vibe to it. Or at least something where younger audience are one of if not the main demographic of the show.

Voltron: The Universal Defender

Daniel was about to let out a high pitched whining spiel about why his life should be spared. His legs crossed to try and prevent himself from urinating all over the ground. Before Daniel could get very far into his squealing however. A lion like figure came in like a furry bullet. Leaving the three aliens looking pretty... well dead-like.

Then it looked at him and started talking, and although to normal ears it sounded calm and almost bold. Daniel heard something more akin too...

“IAMSCARYLIONMANIEATYERFACEEEEEEEEEE!!!”

Eye twitching ever so gently Daniel shook just a little in place from absolute fear, the front of his jeans suddenly looking a bit wet.

“I... I think I just wet myself...” Daniel squeaked.

Suddenly ducking under Thembalani Daniel sprinted out of the large camping tent in a mad dash. Screaming the whole time in a tone one usually associates with little girls with a gross insect on their body. Going a straight line through the terrain, Daniel didn’t know where the hell he was going, and frankly wasn’t even thinking anymore. Still, Daniel was getting there, where ever 'there’ is exactly.

In his panicked haste, Daniel felt a loose part of ground give way from his foot’s planting on it. The bit of loose ground with leaves opened up causing Daniel to flail as he suddenly fell into a dark hole. Having gone from nearly getting killed by aliens with guns, to nearly getting killed by a single lion alien, to now getting killed from some random bottomless pit. All in all Daniel felt his life flash before his eyes for the fifteen times in that 5 minute span.

Slamming unceremoniously onto a hard ground. Daniel felt all the air fly out of his body as he could only finally let out a meek “Dangit....” Finally Daniel started to get back to his feet, glancing up at the opened hole above and realizing he might want to get a move on. Hopefully he might still be able to lose that thing.

Only when Daniel turned around, having his goggles turn into night vision. Daniel began to really look around his newfound location. All over the walls, sprawled out like a mad man’s drawings. Were crude pictures, all of the same thing. A lion, standing tall over what looked like people. Quietly Daniel walked over, placing a hand on one of the drawings. Confused, was that lion person friendly? Some kind of God to whoever lives on this planet?

Seeing a tunnel Daniel’s curiosity got the better of him. Seemingly having already forgotten what happened just moments ago. Daniel quietly, and cautiously plunged into the darkness. His goggles showing the way as he kept seeing drawings, plus what looked like writings in a foreign tongue. Something about all this left so many questions in Daniel’s mind. He wished he had his recorder with him badly. Everyone at the Galaxy Garrison might not even believe him about any of this!

Suddenly though Daniel felt his foot stub itself on something on the ground. With a yelp of pain Daniel hopped on one foot while consoling the other. Glancing down, where he expected a rock, only to find something much more fascinating. It was some kind of black, thick arm band looking thing. Quietly Daniel let himself go back to two feet as he leaned over. Carefully picking up the device to examine it. “What is this?” Daniel asked aloud. While he would’ve quickly dismissed it as something simple. Upon closer examination, Daniel could tell just by glancing closer at the thing there was something to this.

Cautiously, Daniel began to slide it gently up to his left wrist. Feeling it snugly fit, he couldn’t help but realize how light the thing was. What was it though?

Voltron: The Universal Defender

I'll take over for her, no worries.
