Bio

Very well, where do I begin?

My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet.

My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament.

My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard, really. At the age of twelve, I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles.

There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking. I highly suggest you try it.

Correct.
Johnny Storm by @Retired is also in the above group, considering his 24 hours went by as I was posting.

My Superman app will be judged when Andy's app is 24 hours old. Not normally how it'll be done, but the GM apps (note: mine, not Sep's or Doc's) will be considered special circumstance.
Well, we did it. The first 24 hours went by for the first applications that were posted. As a result of any lack of competing apps, and because there are no issues to be seen with them in accordance to the rules and premise, the following characters...

The Question by @Simple Unicycle
Mr. Terrific by @Half Pint
Project War Machine by @Lord Wraith
and Spider-Man by @Hound55 are totally, 100%...

There still room for a few more? I know I'd like to take a crack at this if I can actually figure out a character to pick lol


Character sheets are always welcome! There's no cutoff.
Will I regret this? Probably.

But I guess there's no clearer way to announce that second slots are allowed.

@Pacifista I see no issues.


Y'know how he's been split up in the comics? Maybe you could be Superman Flesh and I could be Superman Blue.
R U L E S O F T H E G A M E :

This is an open-ended roleplay. Prospective players can apply at any time. To be considered for the game, you must fill out the character sheet above to completion. Choose either a canon DC or Marvel Comics hero or anti-hero character when you apply, making sure to portray your intention and take on them within the provided parameters. You may apply for up to two characters at a time.

Once you apply for a character, you must wait a full 24 hours for the GMs to consider whether to approve it. Should you want to apply for a character not yet approved by the GMs, you may challenge someone else for the role.

By applying, you agree to participate in the IC at least once every two weeks. Failure to do so without prior notice to one of the GMs will result in your character being removed from the roster without question. You may attempt to re-apply, but it's to be entirely at the GM's discretion.

Remember the setting. This is a world in which superheroes as a whole are a week old when the game begins. Referencing other heroes and their pasts needs to be done with absolute caution. Don't reference things like rogues galleries and sidekicks or other comic book/alternate media-based snippets of information. Failure to do this will require a GM intervention, likely resulting in extensive editing. Multiple instances could result in removal from the roster.

You may use different colored text for each character in your posts, or you may leave the color blank, but please try and make it legible. Often, brighter colors for text work much better than darker colors.

In the IC, you're free to utilize any supervillain from Marvel or DC to tell your story in the best way you see fit. But don't use an already taken hero character's archenemy. These characters are needed for a hero character's specific development. If you're unsure of who those characters are, wikipedia.org, comicvine.com, and plain 'ol Google are your friends. You can also simply ask in the OOC if you're unsure.

The RPG is currently PG-13. Cursing is allowed, as that isn't against any Guild rules, but any territory that crosses into 'R' such as graphic sex and violence needs to be handled way more delicately.
