The New Marvels: An Avengers Academy RP

I'd say you're fine holding off; it makes sense that it's not quite as fast as those, given that it's both 1: Made from scrap metal and a dream practically, and 2: Also a hover-bike, so in exchange for not being directly as fast, it literally gets to avoid most problems normal bikes would have to experience lol

The New Marvels: An Avengers Academy RP

On that note, how's everyone doin' here? I've been eagerly awaiting more completed profiles as we approach the time for me to properly launch this RP!

For a heads-up, I'm planning to, at the very latest, launch the RP by the end of October; this means everyone here has roughly 2 weeks to work out their sheets and get then RP-ready! And if we can get them all done sooner, then I can see about kicking things off earlier as well, so hopefully that makes for some exciting incentive! Looking forward to seeing everyone's work soon :)

@Qia

Whoops, left this for longer than I planned; yup, the changes are lookin' good. Feel free to bring her in, and welcome to Avengers Academy!

The New Marvels: An Avengers Academy RP

Mia Thompson

"Don't call me Antgirl."

---

Real Name: Mia Thompson

Age: 19

Gender: Female

Alias/Nicknames: Black Viper

Color Choice: Green (I think black would be too hard to see in writing)

Appearance: Mia is a lithe and agile young woman, graced with light-brown eyes and standing at a height of 5'6". Her physique boasts a lean and athletic build that mirrors her dedication to heroics. Ebony hair, typically kept in a tidy bun, adds a touch of elegance to her appearance. In her day-to-day life, she opts for casual attire, favouring comfortable choices like jeans and tank tops. Mia is also careful to conceal the two antennae-like protrusions on her head, reserving their unique features for her superhero persona.

Personality: Mia is renowned for her spunky, free-spirited, and adventurous nature, always ready for the next thrilling challenge. Her outgoing and quick-witted personality makes her a lively presence at the Avengers Academy. Motivated by a deep desire to harness her unique powers for the greater good and contribute to a safer world, Mia approaches her studies with unwavering confidence and resourcefulness. She thrives in high-pressure scenarios and is ever-eager to extend a helping hand to her fellow students, embodying the spirit of a true hero in the making.

History: Mia's journey began as a diligent student at a prestigious research university, where secret experiments involving the genetic alteration of various insects unfolded behind tightly sealed doors. Inquisitive by nature, she often explored the university's labyrinthine facilities, seeking out hidden mysteries. One fateful day, her curiosity led her down an unexpected path as she stumbled upon the wrong room. In a twist of fate, she was bitten by an experimental ant, an event that would forever change her life.

The ant's bite bestowed upon Mia an array of unique abilities, a fascinating blend of powers that bore both similarities and distinctions from the conventional Spider-Man abilities. As her newfound gifts began to manifest, she embarked on a journey of self-discovery, exploring the limits of her enhanced agility, wall-crawling prowess, and remarkable capacity to communicate with and command ants. These extraordinary talents set her apart, and she found herself teetering on the precipice of a destiny far grander than she could have ever imagined.

Mia's transformation was not without its challenges, however. The exhilarating thrill of wall-crawling and the rush of commanding her arthropod allies came hand in hand with newfound responsibilities. She realized the potential of her abilities to make a meaningful impact on the world, and with that realization came an unwavering determination to harness her powers for the greater good. Inspired by her parents, who had instilled in her the values of compassion and altruism, Mia resolved to follow the path of a hero.

Powerset:

Ant Physiology: Mia possesses the physical traits and abilities of an ant. This includes enhanced strength relative to her size, allowing her to lift and carry objects many times her weight. She can also crawl on walls and ceilings with ease, much like an ant.

Antenna Sense: Mia has heightened sensory perception through her concealed antennae-like protrusions. She can detect vibrations, sounds, and even faint scents in her vicinity, making her extremely alert and able to navigate through challenging situations with ease. She can also use her antennae to communicate and command ants, albeit not always with success.

Acidic Sting: Mia can release a corrosive, acidic substance from her fingertips. She can use this ability defensively to create barriers or offensively to incapacitate foes. Her acidic sting can also dissolve materials and restrain adversaries.

Equipment/Paraphernalia:

Acid Projectors: Mia wears specially designed acid projectors on her wrists that allow her to release and manipulate her corrosive acid with precision. She uses them for both offensive and defensive purposes during training exercises.

Utility Belt: Her belt contains additional acid cartridges, communication devices, and tools for maintaining her acid projectors.

Weaknesses:

Limited Offensive Abilities: While her acidic sting is a potent weapon, it requires precise aim, and its effectiveness can be diminished by adversaries with protective gear.

Vulnerable to Certain Chemicals: Mia's corrosive acid can be neutralized or blocked by certain chemicals or materials.

Inexperience: Mia is still a relatively new student at the Avengers Academy, and her inexperience can lead to misjudgments and overconfidence during training simulations.

Antennae Sensory Overload: Mia's antennae allow her to detect minute vibrations and sounds in her surroundings, providing her with an acute awareness of her environment. However, in situations with exceptionally high levels of noise or intense vibrations, her antennae can become overwhelmed. This sensory overload can disorient her, making it challenging to focus or maintain her concentration. In combat scenarios where explosions or loud noises are prevalent, she may struggle to effectively use her heightened senses, leaving her vulnerable to surprise attacks or distractions.

Training Scenario/Testing Post:

In the heart of Avengers Academy's state-of-the-art training facility, Mia found herself immersed in a rigorous combat training scenario. The sun hung high in the sky, casting long shadows across the simulated battlefield. Her instructor, James 'Rhodey' Rhodes, had devised a challenging exercise to push her limits. Paired with another fellow student known for his telekinetic abilities, Mia's mission was to navigate a densely wooded area filled with obstacles and holographic adversaries. Their objective: to secure a hidden 'target' deep within the woods while thwarting the advances of their simulated enemies.

Using her wall-crawling skills, Mia quickly scaled the towering trees with ease, granting her a bird's-eye view of the battlefield. The forest's dense undergrowth posed no challenge to her enhanced agility as she gracefully moved through the terrain. The subtle vibrations sensed through her antennae also allowed her to detect approaching threats before they came into view, so the girl was not too concerned. Together with the other's telekinetic prowess, securing their objective should not be difficult at all.

As they ventured deeper into the forest, however, the training exercise intensified.

Simulated explosions and gunfire filled the air, creating a cacophony of sound that tested Mia's heightened sensory perception. Her antennae senses, finely tuned to detect vibrations, began to pick up multiple sources of movement—both real and simulated. The frenetic pace of vibrations threatened to overwhelm her, making it increasingly challenging to distinguish between friend and foe. It was a moment of vulnerability, a weakness that Mia knew she needed to overcome at some point to be an effective hero.

Mia couldn't help but feel a pang of annoyance as Rhodey's voice crackled through her earpiece then, his advice echoing through her mind. "Trust your instincts," he'd said, and while she knew he meant well, it wasn't as if she hadn't been trying. Rolling her eyes would have been a waste of precious seconds, though, so she took a deep breath instead. She needed to push past the frustration and focus. She knew that if it were easy to handle her antennae senses in the midst of chaos, she would have mastered it long ago.

As she briefly closed her eyes, Mia allowed herself a moment to recalibrate her heightened senses. She knew she couldn't afford to let the sensory overload continue to disorient her. With newfound determination coursing through her veins, she deliberately tuned out the deafening noise and honed in on the unique patterns of vibrations surrounding her. Slowly but surely, she began to regain her footing, finding her rhythm once more. She and her companion, now working seamlessly together, navigated the battlefield with precision, quickly completing the objective given to them.

Relationships

💛 Bruce Banner (Professor Hulk; Headmaster) 💛
Mia greatly admires Professor Hulk. She respects his intelligence and dedication to training the next generation of heroes at the Academy. Bruce's guidance and wisdom have also left a profound impact on Mia, and she looks up to him as a mentor.

🌓 Virginia 'Pepper' Potts (Rescue; Vice Headmaster) 🌓
Mia has a neutral relationship with Virginia 'Pepper' Potts. While she acknowledges Pepper's role in running the Academy, they haven't had many interactions beyond administrative matters.

🎆 James 'Rhodey' Rhodes (War Machine; Battle Tactics Teacher) 🎆
Mia greatly respects James 'Rhodey' Rhodes for the advice he often gives her when it comes to her abilities and accounting for her weaknesses on the battlefield. Mia often seeks advice from Rhodey on improving her combat skills, as well, although she does get a little annoyed from time to time whenever she feels too coddled by him- and in general.

🌓 Vance Astrovik (Justice; Hero Studies Teacher) 🌓
Mia has a neutral relationship with Vance Astrovik. While she appreciates his role in teaching heroism, they haven't had many personal interactions.

🌓James 'Logan' Howlett (Wolverine; History Teacher) 🌓
Mia has a neutral relationship with Wolverine. She respects his vast knowledge and experience but hasn't had many in-depth conversations with him.

💛 Greer Nelson (Tigra; Tracking/Investigation Teacher) 💛
Mia has a good working relationship with Greer Nelson. She appreciates Greer's guidance in honing her investigative skills and often seeks her advice on tracking techniques, especially with the use of her ants.

🙇 Wade Wilson (Deadpool) 🙇
Mia has a tense relationship with Wade Wilson. While his unconventional methods can be amusing at times, Mia finds him unpredictable and their interactions tend to be a mix of amusement and frustration.

💛 Peter Parker (Spider-Man)💛
Mia has a friendly and supportive relationship with Peter Parker. She met Peter during a chance encounter in New York City while she was still coming to terms with her new abilities. Peter offered his guidance and shared his experiences as a young hero trying to balance life as a student and a crime fighter himself. He encouraged Mia to embrace her newfound powers and use them responsibly :).

My favourite hero is Spider Man sooooo you know I had to have her had a good relationship with him xD (even if he's not necessarily a part of this).

@Qia

I like it! There's only one thing I need edited prior to fully accepting this sheet; at the start of the RP, this will be the first time Avengers Academy is opening its doors, and thus, the first time anyone will be there. As such, Mia shouldn't have any prior experiences in the Academy yet. This also probably extends to most of her relationships (barring Peter ofc lol)

The New Marvels: An Avengers Academy RP

@MemeKingDave@Blizz

Both Sigurd and Hazel (AKA Nomad) are accepted! Minor thing for Dave though; when you bring your sheet into the Character tab, be sure to actually have the Relationship post be apart of it this time, they aren't meant to be separated xD (though ofc keeping up the dividers and its own hider zone are good).

Also, while not really a 'problem' per say, I do find it funny that Hazel is using a hero alias that Captain America actually used to use back when he was against the government. Just a fun little note lol

The New Marvels: An Avengers Academy RP

<Snipped quote by Mintz>

Not a pairing I expected tbh.

I have to fix up my CSes, and write the sample posts, but Billy and Tommy are coming.

@Crimson Flame

He found out they had a relationship for a time in comics and ran with it lol

The New Marvels: An Avengers Academy RP

For sure! The cast so far could definitely use some more spiritual/mystical vibes, and I can't think of a character much better suited for it than GR himself!....Granted I also just think he's rad as Hell (pun intended)

So for sure run with that if you want! Gambit would also prove interesting, given I know one player is making the son of Storm and Nightcrawler. Gotta love some Mutant rep :D

The New Marvels: An Avengers Academy RP

The world has been through a lot; years, even decades of catastrophic, world-ending events, from the rise of the malicious AI Ultron to the Destroyer of Worlds, Galactus, and everything in-between, but the world has always had heroes to stand up in the face of unimaginable adversity, with no other being more famous (and on a few occasions, infamous) than the Avengers, Earth's mightiest heroes. But in recent times, the Avengers have become a shadow of their former selves; after a confrontation with the Mad Titan Thanos, possessing the powers of the Infinity Stones, the whole universe was afflicted by an event called The Snap, where the Titan used the Infinity Stones to erase half of all life in the universe. Eventually, though, after several years, the heroes of Earth (and even beyond) were able to rectify this catastrophe...But not without its costs.

Captain America finally hung up his shield, passing both it and his title to Sam Wilson, the Falcon, who had been a faithful companion of his as he fought in the 21st century. Iron Man, having been the one to finish off Thanos with the power of the Infinity Stones, nearly died from it; now he lies near-catatonic in a hidden S.H.I.E.L.D facility suffering from an unknown advanced form of cosmic radiation, slowly killing him, with their top scientists working on an answer to the malaise. In his absence, James Rhodes took back up the mantle of War Machine to fill the void where Stark once stood. Thor has left Earth behind after the events that transpired with Thanos, trying to grapple with the loss of his home, Asgard, as well as his own failings therein. Many other Avengers became estranged as well after the 'Infinity War', as it was, with some of them leaving the Avengers outright or taking a backseat after this latest crisis, for a myriad of reasons.

The Hulk, who at this point had reached an accord with Bruce Banner and became the entity colloquially known as 'Professor Hulk', recognized the strain the Avengers were now placed under, with members leaving at a rapid pace. Thus, he came to a conclusion; the world would need to be prepared for even further dangers after the Mad Titan's assault, as the uneasy peace they held now wouldn't last. As such, with generous funding from STARK Industries courtesy of Tony's wife and current CEO of the company, Virginia 'Pepper' Potts, Hulk founded Avengers Academy, with the intent of training the next generation of superheroes to face whatever would threaten their world next. The Academy certainly had its work cut out for it, though....

Here it is; the Avengers Academy RP I promised everyone! But before I go leaping into character sheets and whatnot, let's go over a few ground rules here.

• 1: Respect Each Other - A simple rule, but that makes it the most important. I want everyone here to treat one another with respect at all times, since we want this to be a friendly, welcome environment. If there are ever any problems, too, don't be afraid to tell me, and I'll handle it to the best of my abilities.
• 2: No Godmodding - Also self-explanatory; your character isn't the center of the universe, and they sure as Hell aren't invincible (even if Superhuman Durability can make ya feel otherwise). It's important for characters to fail from time to time, and they'll be all the better for it. It's a lot more interesting to see someone fall and stand back up than always being on top. This also, of course, involves manipulating or outright controlling other characters against the will of their writers.
• 3: The Time Limit - Generally, I allow a grace period of about a week between posts from players before I bug ya 'bout it. If you respond and tell me what the hold-up is, then usually I'll be more than happy to extend the time a touch longer. However, after a longer delay, or a lack of response on your end, I'll likely assume you are MIA and have you moved out of the RP until further notice. So stay on top of things!
• 4: Hidden Rule - This ISN'T A RULE! HAHAHAHA! Nah, this is a secret lil' thing to prove you actually read this damn thing. Tell me your favorite Marvel character, hero or otherwise! For me, it's Moon Knight.
• 5: No Killing (Friendlies :) ) - Unless another player explicitly agrees to the idea, you are NOT to kill other player characters! This also is the general rule of thumb for named NPCs, both villains and heroes alike; be sure to ask me if you intend to try and kill them. Nameless mooks or the like though? Go wild! Though that could still have some consequences...
• 6: Have Fun! - Yep, this is MANDATORY! You better be having a good time with all our superhero antics, or so help me... >:C

---

Alright, boring ol' rules aside, it's time I give y'all the Character Sheet in all its glory! I'll be using hiders for the two major sections on the sheet, which I'll expect you to do the same; I'd also recommend using hiders for some of the larger sections of the main sheet as well to save some space for those scrolling through, such as the History or Powers sections. Annnnnnyyyyhoooo! Here it is!

Character Sheet Example

_{Insert Character Art Here}

_{(Fancy text optional)}

"Insert funny quote here."

---

Real Name: What your character's real, full name is.

Age: What your character's age is - for the Academy, they should be around 15-22.

Gender: I think this is self-explanatory?

Alias/Nicknames: Your character's heroic alias, as well as any other nicknames they have; whether for their heroic alias or otherwise.

Color Choice: What color you are using for your character's dialogue; for this sheet, it is silver. As shown before, you also use this color to mark each category here. Mostly for style points lol

---

Appearance: While technically handled by the character image that should be above, it's nice to have a little more; whether it be a written description or maybe another image or two denoting between their superhero attire and typical wear is up to you.

---

Personality: How does your character act? What motivates them? How much do they just really not like somebody? All of these are valid; this is the spot to flesh out how your character interacts with the world around them.

---

History: Your character's life story, as specific or vague as you'd prefer it to be (though if it's vague, I'll be expecting more details in PMs; it's my job to know stuff, after all).

---

Powerset: What kind of power(s) your character possesses. This can be ignored if your character has no abnormal powers of their own, as Equipment will have its own tab. I will also present an example here of how to lay out a powerset.

• Superhuman Strength - Guy has Superhuman Strength, able to lift several tons and break through stone with his bare fists.
• Superhuman Durability - Guy possesses Superhuman Durability, unable to be harmed by most conventional means, like bullets or blades.
• Regenerative Factor - Guy can regenerate from most surface-level wounds within minutes, and broken bones and the like can repair within a few hours. Deeper damage, however, can prove more lasting.

Equipment/Paraphernalia: What kind of gear your character has; for tech-based heroes, this is where the meat of your powers will come from. For others, it might supplementary. This is also where you can put more minor objects and bobbins they carry on their person, like personal affects and the like. As with the Powerset, I will provide an example.

• Gold Medal: Guy always keeps a golden medal he was awarded during his track days in high school.
• Giant Hammer: Since Guy is extremely strong, he decided to use a massive hammer that would be completely unwieldy for most others to use.

Weaknesses: Weaknesses is exactly that; the flaws in your character, whether emotional, physical, or technological. Point out weak spots in their powers, character flaws that can be exploited, or vulnerabilities in their gear that could be detrimental. Like before, an example will be provided.

• Arrogant: Guy has grown very self-absorbed due to his unbelievable strength and durability, making him easy to bait and anger by prodding his pride.
• Hammer: Guy has become very reliant on his hammer, so disarming him makes him a far less competent combatant.
• Simple Powerset: While Guy is strong and tough, that is all he is. There is little nuance to his powers, which means he's very simple to outmaneuver or predict.

---

Issue #0/Testing Post: Here, you'll design a post of your own, preferably 3-5 paragraphs long, utilizing your character (and any amount of NPCs you may want, though obviously I want the focus on your character), to see how they may play out as characters. It also serves as a good test for those playing canon characters, to see if you can grasp how they should act and feel.

---

---

---

Relationships Sheet

Relationships

This section goes over relationships your character has in the roleplay, both with other PCs and NPCs alike, whether they be antagonistic, friend, familial, or even romantic. Also, Relationships will be sectioned off from the rest of the sheet, so as to save some space. As an aside, I'd also recommend you hold off on writing for relationships between other characters until your character has properly interacted with them; to save a bit of headache on the first write-through. Also, this section is technically optional when it comes to having your sheet accepted; but I'd like to see it worked on. :)

💀 Bruce Banner 💀

(You can either write it as a list, like presented here, or as a general description of their thoughts on the person in question; your choice! Also, if you feel like going the extra mile, you can add a quote from the character themselves relating to the character in question)

• Guy misses the old Hulk; he smashes still, sure, but now it's way more boring.
• Guy is also totally bitter than in spite of the fact they are the 'lamer' Hulk, they're still way stronger than he is.

💛 Doreen Green 💛

Guy thinks Doreen is pretty awesome; I mean, you have to be to make a name like 'Squirrel Girl' work. She's strong, hard-working, and cheery; they get along perfectly well.
