I think Hound's sanity might be slipping.

@Lord Wraith

"Slipping" implies a firm hold in the first place... have you read his Blue Beetle?

^{"THE WAR ON CRIME HAS CHANGED."}

Fifteen years of practice should be long enough to be good at anything, but Frank is still behind. Punishing used to be easy: cleaning his guns and cleaning the streets of scum block by block in a wash of red. The whole whole world seemed clear, a place where dotted lines of blood led him from one oh his massacre to the next. By year three, he killed the man that had taken his family from him -- he killed everyone that had been at the park that day. In another two, he could’ve had Silvio Manfreddi’s head.

But 44 hours can change everything. The Chitauri Invasion was a haze of caffeine pills, stims, and nonstop combat for Frank. Fighting on rooftops, apartment buildings, sewers, anywhere he could meet the enemy and cut them down like ugly blades of grass.

Those sleepless hours that drained every stockpile Frank had built around the city seemed to only energize the criminal element, while Frank fought they collected and schemed. Overnight regular pushers and gangbangers gained the option to switch their nine millimeters for Chitauri blasters and armor. Frank spent the next decade of his war on the back foot, dodging alien equipment and acts of mad science he had no means to reckon with. He made work what he could, but gone were the days he could kick open a door with a shotgun in hand and just work it out.

It wasn’t tenable forever. Frank had had his run ins with the law, good and bad, at one time he even had friends on the force. Since Kelley’s election, NYPD militarized to meet the so called ‘mutant threat’. The realities of the mutant population meant that more often than not, they got to test their new gear on guys like Frank. He at least managed to put four rocket propelled grenades into Silvio Manfreddi’s front archway before the cops took him down.

“PUNISHER PUNISHED,” read that morning’s Bugle, “vigilante war vet Frank Castle’s reign of terror is finally over!”

SHIELD disagreed. After six months sweating it out on Ryker’s, he was extracted and attached to the Thunderbolts, a special operations outfit known of only at the highest levels of SHIELD. As far as Frank has put together, the ‘Thunderbolts’ have existed in some form since the 70s, deploying agents with incredible skillsets. Designed by Nick Fury Sr., the program’s goal is to make maximum use of the superpowered assets collecting dust in prisons across the United States in exchange for reduced sentencing.

Frank now finds himself at the helm of an unproven team of a psychopath, a blowhard, a ghost, and a walking mystery. He will bring them together, or he’ll find himself back in a cell with his war incomplete.

C H A R A C T E R N O T E S:

The Team
PUNISHER - Frank Castle - See above.
DEADPOOL - Wade Wilson - Joined because he heard Frank would be there, or so he says. He’s taken enough lead to the head over the years that even he’s not sure what’s hiding in his noggin. Hard to put up with, and hard to put down.
BOOMERANG - Fred Myers - Joined because he heard Deadpool would be there. Street thug and five time recipient of the Spider-Man knockout noprize. Best shot in the Thunderbolts, as he will remind you frequently.
GHOST - Ava Star - After the murder of her girlfriend, Ava Star became the Ghost to take revenge on the corporation that killed her lover, a crusade of thievery that eventually widened to include Stark Industries and a dozen other targets before her eventual defeat by Ant Man. The slipperiest customer this side of the X-Men.
SONGBIRD - Melissa Gold - Formerly known as Screaming Mimi, and former ‘Master of Evil’, she’s the longest serving active member of the Thunderbolts. No one can put together why she hasn’t been given the nod for leadership. Team powerhouse.

Supporting
DIRECTOR OF THUNDERBOLTS - Nick Fury, Sr. - Has served since he was sixteen and won’t quit until he’s dead. Former leader of the Howling Commandos.
PUNISHER - Rachel Coel-Alves - Frank’s woman on the outside.

Enemies
BARRACUDA - Unknown - The only human man to cross Frank and live.

Lol as for me, school has started and sucked up a lot of my free time, and also my cat broke my computer monitor so I haven't been able to do much of anything.

Also, I've been waiting to hear back from @DocTachyon about collaborating with Charles, and now apparently they are dropping the character? So can I just write a post with Charles in it?

@Dead Cruiser

I guess I more mean I'm backing off of Charles as a driving character, but I can still write him as a support for others, if you'd have me. And ofc I'm willing to give baldie up completely if anyone comes forward with a proper X-Men concept

Sensation & Wonder: An Absolute Comics Roleplay [DC & Marvel One Universe Style Game]

Should make it public that I'm backing off of Charles and the X-Men. I could see picking them up again someday, perhaps in this very game if the circumstances align, but as of now, they're up for grabs. That said, I'd still like to hang on to Wolverine as support for other characters.

Sensation & Wonder: An Absolute Comics Roleplay [DC & Marvel One Universe Style Game]

Things have been pretty busy for me as well on account of school starting soon -- I'm trying to take plenty of hours at my job and save up before I start classes again. But, if things don't shut down again, I have an hour and 1/2 train commute to and from school to look forward to this year that will become dedicated post writing time.

Multiversal constant, apparent mute, possible schizophrenic, and sometimes hero, Dogwelder is on the case! This mysterious vigilante has appeared across the globe, in sprees leaving lawmakers and PETA members everywhere aghast, though lately, through no fault of his own, Dogwelder is becoming something of a household name.

Dogwelder-Brand Dog Food has popped up in pet shops across the United States, depicting the Dogwelder as a cherry, cartoon man, friend to all dogs, armed only with a welding torch that spits delicious chow. Who is supplying this bizarre product? Who created it? For chrissakes, why Dogwelder? The more dubiously ethical murders of man and canine the welder himself commits in pursuit of the truth, the further he seems to get from it... He might need a real detective for this one.

A Doc & Uni joint many years in the making, in a 'scribbled notes on bar napkin' kinda way. There will be conspiracy and cults aplenty, with more dogs and criminals that deserve a good welding than you can shake a stick at. I've been wanting to play this character ever since I heard of these One Universe games, to try my hand at doing justice to a joke character. He's a strange man with bizarre ethics, confusing history, and a fixation on the canine, paired up with an idiosyncratic conspiracy theorist... What could go wrong?

I wish I could add more detail to this sheet, but it's all there. A conspiracy, some dog food, and a man with a righteous welding torch. Just wait til' you see it in print.

^{"Don't be a buster, bub."}

Wolverine is damn hard to kill, as his enemies have had to find out time and time again.

Logan knows he's been alive for a long time. He has memories from as far back as The Great War, but by Xavier's measure he may be even older than that. Logan has lost many memories over time, but what he knows for sure is this: he's lived through wars, he had unbreakable metal fused to his skeleton, he used to live in Japan, he's had a hell of a lot of brain trauma, and he's an X-Man, through and through.

Thanks to Charles Xavier, and the donated memories of fellow X-Men, Logan can at least remember his recent history with some accuracy. He's been an X-Man for some odd fifteen years, running his claws through anyone that'd dare threaten his found family. He's fought the Hellfire Club, been to space (more than once!), beat the absolute tar out of Scott Summers, helped repel the Dominator invasion, and has even ended up as an Avenger at the prodding of Captain America and Charles Xavier.

I like writing fight scenes. I don't know if you've heard, but Wolverine is the best there is in a good scrap. Logan has kind have been the town bicycle in these games, going from player to player in a variety of concepts, but this take is gonna be fairly back to basics, drawing pretty heavily from how he's portrayed in Claremont's UXM run. That is to say: a socially stunted little man with more anger than sense, someone who is the best there is at what he does.

As you can see from the banner subtitling this run "Wolverine Versus", I'd like to have Wolverine run up against all manner of foes to test his mettle against. Ideally, Wolverine's run will be more or less a Sensation & Wonder fight club, whether he's duking it out against or alongside his fellow heroes. To facilitate interaction, Wolverine retains his X-Men membership, but is also an Avenger alongside his war buddy Captain America.

Essentially, Logan is here to hang out with Avengers or other player's that'd conceivably know him, and to stab guys real good.

This sheet is fairly basic, but I really do intend for this to be a more or less vanilla Wolverine to play off other characters. I do have individual plans for him that I'd like to weave through his supporting arcs, but there's no neat way to explain them in a character concept format without spilling my spoilers. Suffice to say that memory is a hell of a thing.

S1- SENSATION & WONDER

WOLVERINE #1 - Make It Right

Salem Center, New York

---

Whole place smells like grease an’ old sweat, an’ I can tell ‘Sako can’t stand it. Her face is all twisted up into a half-scowl, her nose is scrunched so hard it looks like it’s trying to escape to her forehead. I can smell her sweat through the shimmerin’ psionic armor wrapped around her body, can see the pit stains running all the way down her shirt and the perspiration watercolor all over her face. I’ve been runnin’ her hard, the way she needs.

‘Sako goes by Armor, an’ the way she tells it, she wants to be an X-Man more than anything, just like damn near all the ankle biters livin’ in an’ around the ol’ X-Mansion. I figure most of ‘em don’t got what it takes -- for every little miss Power Pack there’s some meathead punk who thinks he can be an X-Man ‘cause he can punch good -- but ‘Sako always knew better.

She came in older n’ most kids on campus. In my book, she was the best older kid, the only one with more going on in her life than some cell-phone, and the only one who didn’t get any ideas about “borrowing” my beer. And she always put on one hell of a show in the Danger Room. When the rest were cryin’ over scraped knees and lettin’ everything I taught ‘em about fightin’ fall to the wayside, she was in the meat of it, smashin’ through hardlight constructs and workin’ her tail off to keep herself in tiptop, an’ to keep the rest of the munchkins around her from becomin’ Danger Room chow. She was good as anyone, even better n’ a few o’ the active X-Men at the time. But this was before Chuck got it in his dome that we could even consider young’ns as X-Men, so all she’d get for her efforts was a pat on the back n’ a reminder to study for whatever book learnin’ Charlie had in store for her.

Charlie wanted her to stay at the Institute for college, but me an’ Scotty sat her down ta’ tell her she deserves to see the world before she’s asked to protect it. We sent her off a few years ago, to some big money dump that made me roll my eyes, but made ‘Sako’s glimmer. Never heard much about it from her, though. Mosta’ the time her summers back here amounted to the same four words she’d say every time she walked through those doors: “You. Me. Danger Room.”

This is our third summer at it, an’ she’s really startin’ ta’ give me a run for my money. I leave for an Avengers joint for a week, an’ I come back to find out she’s been out-scorin’ me, on my Danger Room courses. Fer my money, that alone more’n makes her X-Man material, but Scotty, Cyclops, is still wafflin’ about it, in his infinite wisdom as glorious leader of the X-Men. Ol’ one-eye keeps givin’ me some rag about wantin’ her to finish school, or pump up her score in team exercises, but more n’ more I figure what’s botherin’ Cyke is the amount of time she spends with me. Doesn’t help that I started bringin’ her to my personal training room.

Y’see, while ago the Prof installed some fancy Shi’ar alien gizmos to ‘upgrade’ the Danger Room, tore most o’ the old one out. Now instead of cheesy robots, metal armatures, and surprise pits in the floor, it’s all virtual reality. Hardlight trainin’ dummies an’ photorealistic backgrounds, but for all that it never smelled right, never felt right. Gettin’ to slash through real metal, feelin’ the flecks of steel stab into your knuckles, tastin’ iron in the air, is a helluva lot better than wipin’ some dopey construct.

On account o’ that simple fact, me an’ Colossus dragged as much of the old Danger Room’s guts out inna’ woods to put Humpty Dumpty back together again. I figure it’s gotta be ten times as dangerous as the one under the mansion now, and ten times the fun.

Cyclops about exploded when he found out I’d been bringin’ her. Bad enough that I trained her, he says, bad enough that that I taught her how to maul her way through Danger Room trials, but God Forbid I get her used to doin’ real damage with her powers. Says if we keep goin’ like this, somebody’s gonna end up dead. I told him to tattle to Xavier if he had a problem, and ta’ remember to apply his asshole ointment. Why shouldn’t I teach her? I’m the best there is at what I do.

‘Sako’s in my Danger Room with me now, throttlin’ a lobster-clawed robot that’s lookin’ for purchase on her armor. My claws are popped an’ I’m making mincemeat out of as many bots as I can get my mitts on, but they’re just keeping me busy so I can’t bail her out. We’re both knee deep in cut ribbons of battle plate an’ oil but they just keep comin’, pourin’ out of the walls like fire ants.

‘Sako’s claws are popped, too. They’re new this summer, pinkish psychic protrusions comin’ from her armor’s knuckles. They ain’t near as sharp as mine, but I’m dead chuffed to watch ‘em slash through lobster bots like rice paper. She’s a fighter after my own heart. Tenacious, tough as nails, an’ -- she’s dancin’ through the crowd of bots now, gettin’ closer to me. Her claws are a flurry around her, cuttin’ open chest cavities and separatin’ robo heads from bodies with abandon, oil flowin’ over her claws like blood -- now that I reach for it, only word that comes to mind fer’ her is deadly. I’m the best there is at what I do, but I’m reminded that what I do best isn’t very nice.

But these are just robots. Rippin’ an’ tearin’ gears an’ wires don’t make you a killer any more n’ playin’ virtual NHL will make you Wayne Gretsky. I shove one bot aside and spear my claws through another’s eyesockets. Cyclops knows it don’t turn you into what I am… But I know it don’t hurt, neither.

|Logan, your attention is requested.| Chuck’s psychic presence flares in my head, callin’ out to me from beyond.

|What’s the sitch, baldie?| I think, watching ‘Sako leap backwards and slam an elbow drop into robot’s noggin.

|It appears an acquaintance of yours is back in town.| Charlie’s thought comes to me with more n’ just the words, but the feelin’s, the mem’ries. The lead smell o’ bullets minglin’ with the iron of blood, petroleum gun lubricant sticky on calloused fingers, a white symbol emblazoned in the minds of damn near every criminal in the city. Most of all, he touches on a promise in my head, an oath I swore long ago to an old friend, a man as determined as ‘Sako. An’ ‘Sako’s as vicious as him, I think with a shudder. I can’t help myself from sayin’ it as I think it:

”Frank Castle’s back?”
