Avengers Unlimited [On Hiatus]

The Torch

Real Name:

Jim Hammond

Codename:

The Torch

Age:

83

Gender:

Artificial Male

Appearance:

On the outside, Jim looks like a regular human, just being tall at 5’11’’ and having a well toned athletic build. He appears to be Caucasian, with baby blue eyes, and short straw blond hair. His skin is blemish and scar free as his skin can be repaired manually as it’s artificial. The most common outfit to see Jim in his hero uniform, as it’s the only clothes he owns that are fire proof. This uniform is a one piece crimson colored suit, with gold decals of a stylized flame. When wearing something else, Jim tends to wear plain t-shirts, sweaters, or jackets. On his lower half is usually jeans or dress pants, and either dress shoes and running shoes.

Personality:

Despite not being really human, Jim has far more humanity then some people. Jim always seems to find a way to connect with others as he tends to be a people pleaser. Maybe not having to go through the pains of growing up, Jim is not jaded and has an optimistic view of the world. That is not to say that he doesn’t know pain, as he did live through the atrocities of World War II. But Jim tends to compress these negative feelings into energy used to make the world a better place. Jim is the kind of person to think that life is always getting better.

But this simple look at the world does come at a cost. Jim has never understood the more complex emotions, whether that being due to him being created or just his natural temperament. Grief is hard for him, as is love. The only true romantic relationship he’s had was with Spitfire, whose live he had just saved before they began the relationship. His idea of love is that it is perfect and forever, so he still thinks that Spitfire would love him all these decades later. While Jim is enamored with changes in technology, he doesn’t get that people can change as well.

Powers/Abilities:

Jim is an artificial human, who is close enough in body to humans that he had most of their weaknesses. His skin is not tougher, his bones can break as easily, and he can get head trauma. What does make him different is his unintended fire powers. Jim can set himself on fire at will, as fire does no damage to his body. When in this fire form, Jim can fly, shoot blasts of flame, or release bursts of heat. However, Jim’s flames abide by the rules of other flames, so water, lack of oxygen, and flame retardant chemicals can put out the fire. Another benefit of being an artificial human is that you can’t die. If Jim was deprived of oxygen, he would enter a stasis mode. In fact if Jim would ever have something happen to him that would kill a human, he merely goes into stasis.

Jim is well read, and is quite skilled as a mechanic and a pilot, always having a way with machines. He has developed a level of mastery over using his powers in combat, and has been trained in unarmed combat by Captain America. Jim is also adept at learning computer software and hardware, as he finds computers one of the coolest technologies of the current age.

History:

My history section is a little bit too long

Created as an experiment by Prof. Phineas T. Horton, Jim was created as an attempt to create an artificial human being. While this advanced project took many years to develop, the artificial human was finished in 1939. When he was first activated, Prof. Horton was exuberant, that was until the creation caught fire. While the Professor was naturally alarmed, the construct seemed to be fine, despite being on fire. So Prof. Horton decided to start teaching the creation. Within a few weeks he became as knowledgeable as an average adult, and soon after the Professor would figure out a way to turn the fiery form on and off on the construct.

Now being able to blend in with humans, Prof. Horton began introducing the creation to the wider world. Given the name Jim Hammond, the creation was passed off as a family friend of the Professor. Jim would have an easy time making friends, eventually deciding that he wanted to become a police officer. But before that could happen, Jim’s home of New York City was attacked by Namor the Sub-Mariner. The Prince of Atlantis was mad at the surface world, so he decided to attack one of its largest cities. During the attack, Jim would jump into the fray, using his fire powers. While fighting Namor. Jim would discover that he could use his fire powers to fly. Eventually Jim fought Namor to a standstill, causing the Atlantean to retreat to the ocean.

Following this battle, Jim would be dubbed the Human Torch by the media. He became the focus of several newspapers as he was one of the first superheroes to emerge. Over the next year, Jim would build up the story of the Human Torch, fighting crime in New York City and battling the mob. But that would all change when the United States entered the second world war. Jim would be approached by the US government, who knew he was the Human Torch. They gave him the job of being a special agent in the European theater of war.

Jim would run many secret missions for America, fighting some of the strongest Nazi agents. But during this time, the secret society of Hydra would be formed. Hydra would take over all of the Nazi’s magical, scientific, and occult studies and projects. To counter this new organization, the Allies formed the Invaders, a special strike force of powered individuals. Jim would be one of the founding members of the Invaders, alongside the number one hero Captain America, and Namor, now seemingly working with the Invaders.

But the Invaders roster would soon expand as heroes like Bucky, Union Jack, and the Whizzer joined the team. But the one new member who would get close to Jim was Toro, a teenage mutant with similar fire powers to Jim. The Invaders would work together for several years, facing many Hydra operatives. This would include a case where Union Jack’s sister was bitten by a Nazi vampire. In an effort to save her life, Jim gave her an infusion of his artificial blood. This would cause a change in her, allowing her to become the hero Spitfire. She would then join the Invaders, beginning a relationship with Jim.

However, the Invaders would disband at the end of the war. Starting with the disappearance of Captain America and Bucky during a secret mission, Namor would also leave to return to Atlantis. The other members would all drop off for their own reasons, until it was just Jim and Toro. Their final mission together would be assisting the Russians in the invasion of Berlin. The two fire heroes had been tasked with capturing Hitler, and had approached his bunker. But the Fuhrer had a special guard of powered soldiers, who greatly damaged Jim. Toro would drag Jim’s body back to the American army, where he learned that he had gone into a stasis state.

Jim’s body would be stored in a secret American government warehouse. He would remain there until the later 1960’s when he was temporarily revived by Prof. Horton. The now elderly Professor had dedicated the rest of his life to reviving Jim, who now had about four months of energy. Jim wished to be a hero again, so he was recruited into SHIELD, serving under a now adult Toro. Together they protected the world for a few months, during which time Jim thought that Hydra might still be around.

But then Jim’s energy reserves ran out again, and he was placed in a SHIELD facility. But this time he would spend many decades in stasis, as the world greatly changed. Eventually in the late 2010’s, Jim would finally be revived again. A young SHIELD scientist had decided to try mixing alien Chitauri with Jim’s artificial body. This seemed to work as Jim now had an unlimited amount of energy. He would immediately seek out Toro, who was now in his nineties and living in a nursing home. The elderly man would be overjoyed to learn that his friend was back. Jim would then learn that Toro had been the former director of SHIELD. Using his contacts, Toro would get Jim reinstated in SHIELD.

Jim would also learn that his friend Captain America was also alive and leading a new team, the Avengers. Jim would also learn that there was a new hero using the name Human Torch. Not wishing to cause any confusion, Jim shortened his hero alias to just the Torch. Jim would then serve as an agent of SHIELD for several years. While interacting with British agency MI-13, he would find that one of their agents was Spitfire, now apparently immortal. But before he could rekindle the relationship, the truth of Hydra controlling SHIELD came to light.

Jim would just barely escape a massacre of clean agents. He would then find Captain America and help him take down Hydra. While the heroes were successful in defeating Hydra, it also meant that SHIELD was no longer a thing. But when Captain America decided to expand the Avengers into a global peacekeeping organization, Jim was one of his first recruits. Now Jim has been given a room at the Avengers Mansion, where he is ready to serve alongside a team of other Avengers.

Supporting Cast:

• Thomas Raymond aka Toro - A mutant who served alongside Jim in WWII. At one point he was Director of SHIELD. Currently lives in a nursing home.
• Steve Rogers aka Captain America - Stalwart ally of Jim during the war. Helped him accustom to modern day, and recruited him into the Avengers.
• Jacqueline Falsworth aka Spitfire - Sister of Invader member Union Jack. Gained powers after a blood transfusion from Jim. She and Jim dated during WWII. Revealed to be immortal and alive in modern day.
• Namor aka the Sub-Mariner - The first powered individual Jim fought. They served together in the war. He is now King of Atlantis and considered a potential threat by the Avengers.

Extra/Notes:

I’m playing Jim very similar to his 616 version, but this version hasn’t gone through as much, so he still is optimistic. I also want to explore what it means to be an artificial human, mostly through his relationships with others.

Avengers Unlimited [On Hiatus]

This is a world of wonders. Gods, aliens, and mutants walk the Earth. These powered individuals will often use their powers for their own benefit or to help others. These beings became known as supervillains and superheroes respectively. These heroes and villains first showed up during World War II, with heroes like Captain America captivating the public’s attention. In the decades following the war, the existence of mutants became public knowledge. Anti-mutant groups like the Friends of Humanity would quickly form as superheroes were lowered in public opinion.

This would change with the dawn of a new era of heroes. From the Spider-Man of New York City to the return of Captain America, heroes would once again be valued. This new influx of heroes would result in the formation of many teams like the Fantastic Four, X-Men, and the Avengers. While these heroes were busy fighting crime, they were watched over by SHIELD, a global defense agency. For many years this setup would work as heroes regularly saved the world. But that would change one year ago.

Captain America, leader of the Avengers, would discover that the terrorist organization Hydra was secretly in control of SHIELD and had been manipulating world events. The many heroes of Earth would team up to defeat Hydra, capturing most of its leaders. In the wake of this crisis, SHIELD would be disbanded. The planet was now left with a large hole in security.

Captain America would then be approached by Nick Fury, former head of SHIELD. After the two spoke, Cap would decide to expand the Avengers into a global agency. Captain America would then recruit many former and new members to the Avengers in what was known as the Unlimited Initiative. The first squad of these new Avengers teams would be based in New York City, operating out of the old Avengers Mansion.

This is an alternate universe Marvel RP, focusing on playing as canon characters. However these characters aren’t limited to classic Avengers, as pretty much any heroic character is acceptable. Characters can also be reinvented as long as the core of the character remains the same. Original characters can also be acceptable as long as they fit in this universe, but they would be a minority.

This RP will be episodic in nature, following this new team of Avengers navigating a world post-SHIELD and Hydra. Other Marvel heroes will pop in every so often for a guest appearance. Also players are encouraged to submit story ideas to steer the course of this RP.

Rules:

• Abide by all rules of the Guild.
• This roleplay is PG-13, so no excessive violence or sexual material.
• No power gaming.
• Two character maximum at the start of the game.
• All Avengers must be 18+, or equivalent if an alien, robot, clone, or something like that.
• Post character sheets here to be approved.
• Have fun!

This is the character sheet. Feel free to add more sections as needed, and fancy it up with your choice of BBCode.

For the history section please make it at least two to three paragraphs, covering origin, reaction to the SHIELD-Hydra reveal, and how they joined the Avengers. Also the extra section is mostly for talking about how you reinvented the character.

Marvel World War M Interest Check

@Chulance
Post-apocalyptic/dystopian Marvel sounds cool. How many characters are we allowed? I have ideas for both a mutant and a member of the Ultimates.

Lost World: Antarctica

@Theyra
So I love adventurers find a lost world with dinosaurs and magic stories, so this is definitely interesting to me. But I was wondering how prevalent magic is? Like is it only a thing in the past? A character idea I have is a famous conspiracy theorist that bought his way onto the expedition.

@Sanguine Rose
Yeah I know I can be obscure with my references. I'll start brain storming my character more, and will PM you if I think I need to discuss anything.

Avengers Unlimited

@Chulance
Thanks for the interest. I am currently allowing two characters per player, and both your picks are fine, just note with Thor that Rekker is playing a different take on Thunderstrike, a character similar to Thor. If you still want to play Thor that is fine, as I think it would be cool to see how these characters interact.

Hope Among the Stars (Sci-Fi Survival)

@Guccicorn
So I had my character sheet almost done for a while now. But since you put up the OOC, I decided to finish him, and here he is.

Chief Biologist Kai Harris

---

IDENTITY

---

Name: Kai Harris
Age: 20
Gender Identity: Cis Male
Pronouns: He/Him
Sexuality: Bisexual
Country of Origin: New Zealand
Ethnicity: British/Maori
Background: Kai was born into a dying world. Both of his parents were prominent scientists in New Zealand, having made their fortune designing genetically modified crops that are near indestructible. However that massive success did seem almost pointless as the Earth itself was doomed. But then the Phoenix Project began, a way of saving humanity. Kai’s parents would work on the project, helping design the bio-domes that would house plant life aboard the ships. It was during this period of work that they were selected by the lottery to have a child that would be on one of the ships.

Kai’s parents would take this opportunity to create the best possible child for the survival of humanity. They would invest most of their money into pursuing genetic modification for the fetus in the womb. While this technology had been around for a while, it was prohibitively expensive and looked down on by certain groups. But Kai was modified anyway, being born perfect in size and weight. He would also learn to walk and speak much sooner than other children, and would begun schooling a full two years earlier then average.

Kai’s parents would steer him in the direction of biology from a young age, as that was what they knew. As a child Kai would involve himself heavily in the conservation of the native species of animals of New Zealand. He would start a petition to have these animals included aboard the colony ships, as a way of preserving Earth’s rich bio-diversity.

Kai would graduate from university at the age of fifteen, earning a degree in biology. Following his completion of his academic studies, Kai would begin training for his time aboard the colony ship. Kai underwent basic astronaut training, quickly becoming proficient with the systems of a colony ship. He would also do supplemental studies, such as medical so that he could be a back-up doctor, or using a rifle to defend his crew from any potentially dangerous wild life.

It was two years into his training that higher ups at the Phoenix Project recognized his knowledge and skill. Kai was assigned the position of Chief Biologist aboard the Ursa Minor, the last of the colony ships. While it excited Kai to be given such a prominent position, it also meant that the finality of his life on Earth was coming.

In the weeks leading up to the launch of the Ursa Minor, Kai was a wreck emotionally. But he forced himself to work through it, saying goodbye to his family and beloved planet. When the time came to launch, Kai decided not to go see his parents as it would be too painful. So instead he remained on the bridge as it launched.

As Kai was going into stasis, he knew that the sun was going to consume the Earth any time now. It was with this painful knowledge that Kai went into the long sleep, hoping that he would find happiness on the world they were headed to.

@Sanguine Rose
So I was considering character ideas and I was wondering if a guy bonded to an alien/alien artifact would be acceptable? Think like Blue Beetle, Darkhawk, Green Lantern, or Starbrand. I haven't decided yet what powers this fusion gives my character.

Avengers Unlimited

@Ultimate Spidey
I am also a fan of Ultimate Jessica Drew, especially her relationship with Kitty Pryde, given that Kitty had dated the original Peter but was now on a team with a female version of him. I think it could be really interesting to explore that in this RP. Also Xavin sounds really interesting, enough so that I'll probably be reading Runaways next time I start a new series on Marvel Unlimited.

@Dark Cloud
Thanks for the interest! Flash Thompson is a character I got re-introduced to through the Extreme Carnage storyline and he would definitely be an acceptable Avenger.

For everyone else, I'm going to wait two days to see if anyone else is interested in playing. During that time I'll work on the OOC thread, and post it then.
