Quicksilver

Battery Park! It was just as thrilling as Pietro, Piers if you knew him well enough, remembered. Vague memories of the first time he and Wanda visited drifted through his mind. The Statue of Liberty loomed in the background, watching over the city like… it was pretty creepy if he thought enough about it, so he tried not to. “What building is that?” Wanda had asked excitedly, pointing to yet another Skyscraper. “What bridge is that?” To Piers, they all looked the same, so he made up random names that Wanda eagerly believed.

The first time that the twins visited the park, he mistakenly called it Central Park, because there were no batteries or electrical outlets he could find. Piers stopped briefly to watch some buskers, and bought a hot dog from an older looking man with a cart, adding both ketchup and mustard because there simply was no finer combination. He turned around, half expecting to see his sister chastising him for always eating, though truth be told, she made sure to pack plenty of snacks when they were together. He missed that. He missed them just being them. He didn’t care how it sounded - which was a lie - he’d never say it outloud, of course, not to anyone but Wanda, but this was definitely was not what he planned or hoped for. Sure, Wanda would disappear now and again. He was no stranger to wanderlust himself, and less of a stranger to needing some time and distance. The thought helped him sleep at night at least, at least until the alarm went off.

Beep Beep Beep – he snapped out of his stupor, and he involuntarily scowled. “Jebiga,” he swore under his breath, pulling the card from his pocket. Rogers wants a meeting? That elicited a curious eyebrow quirk. At least that would keep his mind occupied. He started to speed off, stopping only momentarily to offer what he considered a sexy lopsided grin at two pretty women in the park. His smile faded as he backed into a corner mail bin, near sending him sprawling. It elicited a laugh from the two women, which he’d be comfortable thinking was a flirty gesture back when it replayed in his head weeks from now as he tried to sleep. He sheepishly took a few steps back and spinning on his heels, took a cleansing breath before sprinting to the Avengers Mansion on 5th. He’d be there in a blink.

Piers stopped short in the situation room, quickly assessing the uh… situation. “Torch. Fury. Cap, he said, nodding in greeting. “Arrow Kid, Kid I don’t know, Cat napper, holy crap, other Cap,” he smiled at Captain Marvel, impressed. “Kid who…” he stopped mid sentence. Kid who looked like him, wait, what? He did a double take, eyeing the other speedster with the silvery hair, both his eyebrows raised. No, noooooo…. He inwardly chuckled. He was careful, always, and if he didn’t have anything on him, he could be to a bodega and back in a blink with a full pack. He narrowed his blue eyes to get a better look. “Quick… Silver…” he introduced himself to the room, in case there was anyone he hadn’t yet met. He was bad with names. And faces. And made up heroey names, and most plotlines of novels he had to read when going to night school, but that was a different story for a different time. For now he had to focus. Concentrate. Breathe.

Dagger

Tandy stood in the front of the mirror in her room, feet in Croisé, like the woman instructing on her phone. Sure, New York was teeming with dance studios, but at 19, she was far too old to start en pointe training, and besides, who had time for any of that? This was New York, there was always something happening somewhere. Some sort of trafficking that needed to be dealt with, some big baddie strolling up like he owned the place. Besides, Ballet was mostly a form of meditation, a workout like no other, and she liked her feet too much to spend hours ruining them.

“Plié ….. Plié ….” the woman droned in a French accent. “Grande Jeté…” Tandy lept to the side, just as the card in her pocket sounded.

“Captain Rogers in the situation room….” She hastily swapped pulled a pair of pants over the leotard, rolling them at the waist. And pulled her hair out of the bun, tousling it for good measure. “Assemblé” she chuckled to herself, sliding into a pair of running shoes.

Tandy wouldn’t say she loved New York, but then again, she didn’t hate it either, better or worse it was home, and home was something else she didn’t take for granted. Kate was already in the situation room with Torch and some others. She resisted the urge to ask what was the sitch, cursing the late nights she and Cloak would spend watching Kim Possible down at the shelter. This wasn’t for play, not with Captain Marvel there, and with an emergency meeting called, she took her place with the others.

Avengers: Unlimited

Quicksilver

Name: Pietro Maximoff
Alias: Quicksilver, Piers Maximoff
Age: Wanda’s age (28 ish? 30?)
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Quicksilver is six feet even, 175 lbs and slightly on the lanky side. He has blue eyes and most notably, silver hair.
Personality:
He’s impatient (comes with the territory), impetuous, and easily distractible. He fakes confidence, which sometimes makes him come off more arrogant than he is.
Powers:
Super Speed/Physiology/Metabolism, Superhuman reflexes and stamina, quick intelligence in that he can read something very quickly, however retention is another issue. Weaknesses: Impatience, Anger Management, he’s undergone mental breakdowns and bouts of depression.
Skills:
Can speak Russian, Serbian and a few Romani dialects. He can fight (thanks to his speed and training from Cap), and play piano. Naturally pickpocketing.
History:
Pietro (Piers) and his twin Wanda grew up in Serbia (Sokovia, depending on what canon you want the game to be in) believing they were the children of Django and Mayra Maximoff until they were about 9 or 10, when one of Stark’s missiles destroyed their home and killed their parents. Piers was overprotective of his sister as they grew up on the streets of a war torn country. They traveled as Rom, finding the nomads to be hospitable and welcoming to two war orphans - until their powers began to manifest.
Piers’ superspeed was helpful to say the least, he was an expert pickpocket and was able to steal food to support his sister and Rom family, but Wanda’s powers were a bit more problematic. Wanda’s hex powers caused a home to burst into flames, and the Rom, being a superstitious people branded her a witch. Mob mentality took over, despite her brother trying to protect her, and they were saved when Magneto stepped in. Grateful to Magneto, and angry at Stark, who they believed responsible for the death of their parents, they were raised in seclusion to get a better handle of their powers which were intended to fight the Avengers. It was there they learned his true intention - he was actually the twin’s father, who was now using them as weapons. Seeing the err of their ways, they took refuge this time with Captain America, the Avengers and the United States. Piers later left, spending time between helping rebuild the war-torn country and in the states, trying to live a ‘normal’ life after Wanda fell in love with Vision. His mental health was suffering. The sister he looked out for and doted on no longer seemed to need him, but when Cap called about the new initiative, Piers was all to happy to don the Quicksilver uniform once again - especially after learning of his sister’s disappearance.
Sample Story lines:
I’ve been talking to Crimson Flame about ideas concerning Billy and Tommy, about Piers piecing things together, and I’m looking forward to working with him. Finding Wanda will be a priority for Piers. He also is not fond of Vision at all. He can act as a mentor for the boys if he’s able to earn their trust.
Extra/Notes:
I’ve left out the Crystal/Kree/Luna storyline, but kind of combined Age of Ultron with some comics and parts I liked. Piers is currently too immature to be in a serious relationship, but he does like to play the field.

Dagger

Name: Tandy Bowen
Alias: Dagger
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Tandy is 5’5 and 115 lbs, with blue eyes and long blonde hair, with an unusual light color mark forming a C around her right eye. Physical genetics were kind to Tandy, thanks in part to a supermodel parent.
Personality: Outgoing, friendly, flirty, but misses being ‘normal’
Powers:
Lightforce generations, she generates “living light” generally in the form of daggers. She steals some lightforce which can weaken opponents, and can usually control the daggers to stun, paralyze or kill. Light manipulation, lightforce purge (she can remove toxins or drugs from a person’s system), weakness: Her lightforce only works on living beings. She couldn’t for example throw a dagger through a door or use it to pry something open. She can become agitated or feverish if she collects too much or loses too much lightforce. Lightforce can be addicting. She has to control the amount she drains from someone, as the more she collects, the more ‘drunk’ belligerent she can become.
Skills:
She has had years of classical ballet training,
History:
Tandy grew up wanting for nothing except love. Her self-centered ex-model mother Melissa and Roxxon exec father Nathan were miserably married, spending most of their together time in spectacular fights that often culminated in police visits. She often retreated to her room with headphones to dance to avoid hearing the fighting. At 14, her father was driving her home from ballet while arguing with someone from Roxxon about an oil rig danger. As he heard the rig explode, the distraction caused him to swerve into a semi, sending the car careening off a bridge into the water. Nathan, was unconscious, and Tandy began to panic as the car started to sink. Something in the falling debris, a wave of energy gave her the strength to escape, saving her father in the process. Nathan Bowen believed he was saved by divine intervention, and set off to find spirituality, but not before draining his family finances to donate. Melissa, who had once relied on youth and looks now found herself in a dire situation. She quickly re-married Phillip, Nathan’s co-worker/best friend from Roxxon. Phillip made uncomfortable advances on Tandy which Melissa turned a blind eye to. Fearing for her safety, Tandy left, catching a bus to New York with no plan in mind. Outside of the Port Authority terminal, Tandy was almost robbed, but saved by a young homeless boy named Tyronne Johnson. She bought him food, and they became friends.

They survived on the streets, selling everything Tandy had brought with the exception of her ballet shoes. They aren't proud of it, but they survived however they could, generally by stealing until they were rounded up like stray dogs, and injected with an experimental drug D-Lite, she and Tyronne would be the only two that survived. Whatever happened to Tandy in the lake grew stronger, and with a bit of practice, learned control of her powers. Tyronne learned had powers, and the two would then team up to help other kids from suffering the same types of fates. They targeted anyone who preyed on the cities vulnerable youth, but Tyronne’s power was out of control. The older they got, the stronger they became. They based their operations out of a church in New York, where a priest was concerned that Tyronne’s powers were dark magic or demon based. As Cloak grew, was not able to stop his darkness from becoming all consuming, and the priest turned to Dr. Strange for help. It was Dr. Strange and Wong who would take Tyronne to the mirrorverse where he remains. Tandy would stay on with Strange for a bit, later joining the Avengers.

Sample Story lines:
Tandy has yet to find/confront the person responsible for killing her and Tyronne’s friends with his experimental drug.

Roxxon Corporation - I see them as purveyors of some shady things, Tandy’s father will be under investigation for whatever happened the night of the explosion.

Tandy’s father’s storyline. He would gain his own powers from the incident in the lake, using them for evil instead of good, he believes himself to be a god.

Extra/Notes:
I combined a bit of the the short-lived Cloak and Dagger series with the comics. I know Dagger was an Avenger during the Civil War series, but I’m willing to make any changes.

Hi, RPGuildians!

@Sherlocke Welcome to the Guild! What sort of games do you like?

@Catharyn

Anything with a good storyline, and players willing to make it happen! I write a lot of fandoms, MCU, DCU, Cyberpunk, fantasy, high fantasy. This board seems to have a great mix of all that.

Avengers: Unlimited

I've chatted with Crimson Flame regarding Quicksilver, but I'd also like to throw Dagger into the mix if I could. Please let me know if there are any changes needed!

Avengers Academy: Junior Year 💥

@Morose I'll check them out - thanks!

Avengers: Unlimited

@Crimson Flame I would LOVE to play their uncle and collab! (Come on Tom Tom, race ya!) But if you would rather not, I'll be happy to pick a different Avenger.

Avengers: Unlimited

@Martian I don't know that I could pull off Tony Stark, but if Quicksilver is available, I'd be happy to play either version of him.

Avengers Academy: Junior Year 💥

Sorry, I'm still getting used to the formatting on the board. I'd like to apply with Shayne, if I could! Willing to make any changes (or formatting changes) that need to be made!

Shayne Renee Vaughn

Hi, RPGuildians!

Just wanted to say hi, actually I wanted to put together a haiku or something artistic but then I didn't want my first impression to be quirky. Second or third, maybe.

I've looked at the site for about a week, maybe two, maybe longer, and there a lot of great games, and what seems like a great community. I'm excited to write with some or all of you!
