Just to make it clear, we're going back to the 24 hour rule period for this week as far as new characters go. So if you're playing someone else and anyone wants to contest your apps, they can. Returning characters, however, do not have to wait for approval. With that being said...

We are torn by division, wanting unity. We see around us empty lives, wanting fulfillment. We see tasks that need doing, waiting for hands to do them. To a crisis of the spirit, we need an answer of the spirit. And to find that answer, we need only look within ourselves.”[/i] -- Richard Nixon [b][u]Character You're Applying For:[/u] The Fantastic Four Reed Richards – Mr Fantastic Sue Storm – The Invisible Woman Johnny Storm – The Human Torch Ben Grimm – The Thing[/b][/center] [b]Powers And Abilities:[/b] The Fantastic Four’s powers and abilities are unchanged from last season – in that they are almost identical to most traditional depictions of the team. Ben suffered a facial wound in his fight with Hector Hammond at the end of last season which has left him slightly more vulnerable than we are used to. Otherwise, Johnny, Reed, and Sue remain pretty much the same, other than a change of scenery for the four of them. [u][b]Season One Recap:[/b][/u] Since arriving in the Ultimate One Universe, Reed has used science as a coping mechanism. Having failed to fulfil his promise to return the Fantastic Four home, Reed throws himself into science once again as a means of coping. Even more so than in his own universe, UOU Reed Richards was held up as a saviour of sorts – a visionary that would chart mankind’s way out of the darkness – and this season we’ll see Reed take that mantle on with both hands. Having “lost” his family, Reed seeks to construct a new one, all the while refusing to humour that his relationship with Sue might be a thing of the past. Having tried her best to hold the Fantastic Four together last season, Sue embraces the newfound freedom the team’s breakup presents. Away from her brother and husband for the first time in years, Sue trades in New York for a completely new environment, and finds herself mired in a world of politics and intrigue that require her to rely on her wits more than her power – with the fate of millions resting on her shoulders. The end of last season was particularly traumatic for Ben. Mind-controlled by a power cosmic-imbued Hector Hammond, Ben was forced to beat Guy Gardner within an inch of his life and then suffered a facial wound that he still bears the scar from. But a life on the sidelines is not the Grimm way – and when presented with an opportunity to help change the world in a more direct, impactful way by an old friend, Ben takes it. Though he soon learns that his new field is decidedly more murky than the one he left behind. Johnny has perhaps struggled most of all. His first few months in the UOU were marred not only by sadness, but a deep, impotent anger towards anything and everyone, as he failed to process the loss of his world – and most of all his close friend Spider-Man. An encounter with Spider-Woman last season managed to help Johnny pull through the worst of his pain, but the destruction of the timecraft has plunged Johnny into despair once more. He, more than the others, is lost without the meaning the Fantastic Four lends to his life. Yet he may be on the cusp of discovering new meaning in his UOU counterpart’s past. [u][b]Where Do You Plan To Take The Character This Season?:[/b][/u] The end of UOU Season One saw the destruction of the timecraft that brought the Fantastic Four to the Ultimate One Universe. Without a means to return home, Maria Hill (now Acting Director of SHIELD) presents them with a choice: assume the places of their dead UOU counterparts or be resettled under new identities and commit to never using their powers again. The Fantastic Four begrudgingly agree to the first option and SHIELD announce their “successful” return to distract from the fallout from the breakout at The Raft. Within weeks the strain of the facade gets too much for Ben, Johnny, Reed, and Sue, and they shock SHIELD – and the world – by announcing that the Fantastic Four are no more. Reeling from the trauma of losing their way back to their world, each member sets about carving out a new life for themselves away from the ghosts of their old life.
