[OOC] Avengers: Unlimited

[ImaginedBird67]

I'm glad you gave us time to post. I will be considering what to write, you gave me tons to think about. Merry Christmas!

[Martian]

BUMP!

Still doing this. But don't feel a need to rush given the holiday season. I'm just trying to keep this RP relatively near the front of the forum.

@Martian

Can i copy and paste my last intro post from the last RP, into this one?

[Martian]

@Eviledd1984
As it is the same setup I’ll say you can go ahead and do that.

[Eviledd1984]

@Martian

Cool thanks, just working on my other sheet. Don't know when it will be done though.

[Crimson Flame]

So is someone going to post in the IC at some point, or should Billy and Tommy get there first?

[Martian]

@Eviledd1984
No rush given the holidays and all.

@Crimson Flame
You can go ahead and post. There's no set order for who arrives at the meeting room.

@Lilissen
Responded to your PM. The character idea mentioned would work.

[ImaginedBird67]

First post, yayy!

[Martian]

@ImaginedBird67
I had actually intended that everyone already had decided to be an Avenger, making a deal with Cap. However, we can just say that Kate was a late addition.

@Martian

Makes more sense honestly.

[Martian]

@Crimson Flame @PatientBean @Redcord @webboysurf
Any updates on when you guys will post?

@NinaDivine @Byrd Man @Sanity43217 @Birdboy
Wondering if you guys want to participate still?

[PatientBean]

Been dealing with some tense depressive episodes, but I feel better this week. I should be able to get a post up this week sometime.

[Martian]

@PatientBean
Sorry to hear that. As someone with depression, I know how hard it can be. Just post when you can.

[Crimson Flame]

I should get something up this week.

[webboysurf]

Sorry y'all, came down with an illness and it's kicked my ass. Between that, work, and some things that have come up, I don't think I'll have the time to keep pace with a more linear RP. Sorry folks.

[Martian]

@webboysurf
Sorry to hear that. I hope you start feeling better and perhaps we can RP in some other game in the future.

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!

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.
