Just so you know, I'll concede my She-Hulk CS since I'm a newcomer. My main will be Deadpool and after the probation period (however long that is) I'll see about restarting her if no-one else has taken her up or I can fit it around the Hulks character.

Heard good things about the movie, heard she's a great character and it looks like she's about to wreck shit up
"The hairs coming down bitch!"

Did I not put that rule in? I put it in Infinite...This is why websites shouldn't shutdown...
So it appears I will be sticking with Deadpool then. No problem. I willrock on

I thought it was odd that he kept changing from green to pink...My utmost apologies Raider; I've misread your name as Runner for the last twelve or so hours.
It's perfectly alright. Once the avatar system comes in, I doubt that will be a problem.
I've now got a nice sig banner to help you.Gowi said
Nightraider and Nightrunner need to have a duel.
I'll PvP the shit out of him in the arena, Deadliest Warrior style!

I like you, Nightraider. What was your username on the former site?Update for those who care: my CS will begin it's transfer from paper to text in less than an hour.
It was Nightradier. NightraDIEr as opposed to the proper Nightraider I have now.
Not that many noticed, but I noticed. I noticed a lot!!

Should we really be talking about second characters for new players to the game, anyway? Shouldn't there be a probationary status immediately like Andy instilled formerly? On that note: if a wiki is "note for note" of the character you are doing and you can't write it in your own words then that's a warning sign from the beginning and shows a lack of creativity which is the opposite of what this game is about.
If you feel new players should only have one character, I won't argue. I'd be happy to focus on just 1 for the time being if it comes to that.
As for the wiki thing, I'm inclined to agree with Gowi. If you're going to be lazy now, then put off writing it until you're not. EE isn't going to be picking the CS's until much later so it's not like you don't have the time, plus he has rules for competing ones. It makes it look bad if you just C&P it just to get it out there.
Personally, I'm not going to try and change my characters story to fit yours if you've mostly copied yours from a wikia, regardless if it's what you wanted anyway. I'm not trying to sound like an asshole, but I put some effort into this, and while it may not be 100% unique, it is mostly all my own idea, with only references to in-universe characters from the wikia. Sorry Matt, but I'll leave mine as it is and let EE decide. If you win, power to you.
Wow, thanks for responding directly Mahz. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside....
But yea, I do remember there also being a dead window on the old forum (unless I'm thinking of a different forum).

Player Name: NightRadier (2nd application)
Character: She-Hulk
Aliases/Nicknames: Elizabeth “Betty” Ross
Alignment: Walking the Line
Affiliations/Known Associates: S.H.I.E.L.D., Bruce Banner.
Character Origin:
Betty is the only daughter of Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross and her mother Sharon Ross. While Sharon encouraged Betty’s inquisitiveness and curiosity as child, Thaddeus sought to quell these traits and shape her as one would a soldier. This led to Betty becoming resentful and rebellious against her father as she reached her teens. One night, while out looking for her wayward daughter, Sharon was blindsided by another driver and killed. The death of her mother crippled her emotionally and Thaddeus dealt with the loss of his wife by tightening his grip on his daughter.
Betty graduated from New York University with a BScs and PhD in Science, particularly in atomic and radiation sciences, where upon she began looking for work to try and escape her father once and for all. After some contract work with S.H.I.E.L.D. to garner experience, she was contacted by one Stephen Lang through her father, who required a specialist consultant in gamma radiation for some governmental testing experiments. Betty accepted the job, not knowing that Stephen Lang was a part of the Purifiers, the anti-mutant terrorist organisation and was intending to use gamma radiation to “cure” mutants involuntarily. When she began working for Lang, she met an outspoken, confident fellow consultant, who after a time, she began to fall for, as did he for her.
On the eve of the 1st test of the gamma screener, Lang revealed his intentions with the inclusion of a restrained Epsilon level mutant teenager in the test chamber. Upon learning of this and the fact that the teenager may not even survive the test, Betty immediately tried to end the experiment but the sequence was locked. In a desperate attempt, she tried to free the mutant inside the chamber. She was successful but was knocked to the ground by the mutant as he escaped. As the gamma screener fired and she faced her death, she thought about how Lang could have done this, how she hadn’t asked her companion out on a date, how her father had helped put her in this situation and how she felt about herself at all this, how angry she was……
Betty realised that if this was Heaven, then it was cold, wet and felt very much like grass. She had awoken in a field, with no idea where she was, how she had gotten there and was naked aside from her favourite purple yoga pants. She made her way to the nearest town, “borrowing” a shirt on the way. While in a local diner, she learned from the T.V. news that a large, green skinned creature described as a “hulk”, had destroyed the Lang Labs and fled the scene. All attempts to reason had been met with solid rage and anger. Betty knew that it had been her, changed from her gamma exposure. She had to get away from the diner, the town, the area, from people…
Not much is known exactly in the interim year that Betty disappeared. She has travelled the world, looking to control the “She-Hulk” inside her and hopefully, find a cure. She has learned that anger induces the transformation and that it is possibly a result of supressed anger from her mother’s death and her father’s suffocating control that she never dealt with. She has also learned that, due to her other “incidents” across the world, a group known as the HulkBusters has been set up and is, unbeknownst to her, headed by her estranged father, Thunderbolt, who does not know the creature is actually his daughter (due to the other consultant being knocked unconscious during the commotion in Lang Labs and Lang claiming she perished and that the creature is a mutant menace) and blames it for his daughter’s death. Betty has since returned to the States in a desperate bid to contact the one man who may be able to help her, her fellow consultant……one Dr. Robert Bruce Banner.
Powers and Abilities:
As She-Hulk:
1. Superhuman Strength: According to reports from the Hulkbusters, the She-Hulk has been capable of astronomical feats of power and strength. One operative in a debriefing is quoted in saying “…the angrier She got, the stronger She got!” So far, no official limit on her strength has been assigned, not after the New Mexico incident.
2. Regeneration and Durability: Her endurance and healing has also been significantly increased, with injuries Betty receives being healed as she changes. She can also take a large about of punishment, being hit with rockets, mortars and even an orbital Arc weapon and she has still kept coming
3. Below Average Intelligence: Like an unleashed caged animal, the initial transformation into the She-Hulk was one of uncontrolled rage and anger for Betty. Since then, with subsequent transformations, She-Hulk has begun unconsciously tapping Betty’s knowledge for new skills including the ability to speak coherently and reason to some degree.
4. Other: Resist psychic control, radiation absorption.
As Betty Ross:
1. Military Knowledge: Despite her heart being in the pursuit of scientific knowledge, her father forced her to undergo military and strategic training before she attended college and as a result, this knowledge has benefited her from evading the Hulkbusters and, in some way, the She-Hulk in fighting them.
Weaknesses:
1. The Change: While Betty has tried to restrain her emotions and control them, they can still build in her until the She-Hulk bursts out and in these events, the She-Hulk is filled with uncontrollable rage and can attack anyone and anything in reach.
2. Mental state: Both the mental state of Betty and the She-Hulk are both fragile. The She-Hulk, when in “control” is paranoid of others, brutally aggressive and an isolationist. While one would think these are separate feelings from Betty, the truth is that they are the same and shared with Betty. She too is paranoid, but of herself and what she may do to others if she changes, she is aggressive in her goal to rid herself of the She-Hulk and she feels isolated because she wants to be, so she can’t hurt anyone else.
3. Gas Attack: She-Hulk can be temporarily subdued with intense attacks with chemical weapons such as anesthetic gases but can recover quickly if exposure is uninterrupted.
Equipment:
Stretch pants and tube top: Made of a very elastic material, Betty is conscious of her body while in She-Hulk form and as a result, has taken precautions to keep herself decent.
Why do I want to play this character?:
I think it would be interesting to see how similar events would turn out if a different character was exposed to them. In this case, the role reversal of Betty Ross and Bruce Banner seemed like a good story to mess about with. Also exploring the unique relationship between the Hulk and a different character to Banner has several interesting concepts when a different personality is in play. Finally (and not to sound sexist), the main point of the Hulk’s persona is based on emotion and changing the character to a woman will have an impact on their emotional state.
What do I plan on doing with the character:
I plan on having the She-Hulk experience similar situations as Banner did, but have them play out differently now that there is a different character. This, of course, will affect the rogue gallery. Perhaps the Leader is an old roommate friend of Bettys who was jealous of her looks a la Single White Female, learns she’s the She-Hulk and tries to become like her, turning her into the Leader (or something similar). She is also going to be the one of the powerhouses of the Universe, at least for the time being.

You're both more than welcome to put up competing apps with your own takes on the character.
But ya see that's what has me now confused, I'm not going after the Hulk per say but rather rewriting it so an incarnation of the She-Hulk comes BEFORE the Hulk. The Hulk is still technically up for grabs.
