Welp, time to throw my hat in the ring after stalking season 1 for a while.  Was thinking of a few different characters but decided to try for Ms Marvel.

Ultimate One Universe: Season Two Application

Character You're Applying For: Carol Danvers a.k.a. Ms Marvel

Powers And Abilities:

Human/Kree physiology: With her genetic makeup changed forever quite a few changes have occurred in her body with a wide variety of effects.

Toxin Immunity: Her Kree biology has made her immune to most forms of toxins and poisons.  Only the most exotic and unique of venoms and poisons have any chance at damaging her enhanced cellular structure.

Superhuman Strength/Durability: Her new genetic makeup has enhanced her strength by leaps and bounds.  With her power she can roughly lift up the weight of a small space shuttle which is a rather impressive feat.  Her new biology greatly strengthened her cellular structure allowing her to tank heavy blows from super powered opponents, as well as a strong resistance to conventional weaponry and the ability to absorb and redirect energy.

Superhuman Stamina: Already in good physical condition from her time in the Air Force, her enhanced body allows her to work for hours straight without a break.  This makes long-haul type assignments much more manageable as well easily outlasting most opponents in a fight.

Superhuman Speed/Agility/Reflexes: Her years of service plus her enhanced senses have easily pushed herself to the levels of an Olympian Athlete and this is all without using her power of flight.

Superpowered Flight: The exact method of propulsion is unknown though it is theorized she is manipulating a sort of energy field around her body that is invisible and only affects her unique physiology.  While flying she can easily exceed speeds way past the sound barrier and can maneuver as smoothly as a fighter jet through the air.  Her top speed is unknown but she has yet to have a need to try and go faster than that.

Seventh-Sense: A unique ability that connects her to the cosmos on a rather mundane level.  It basically works was a sort of prediction mechanism that tells her what an opponent is most likely to do; however, it is only a prediction and can therefore be faulty or even useless in snap-decision type moments.  Until she can figure out how to effectively make use of it, the sense is better left alone for now.

Energy Absorption: Like a rechargeable battery, Carol Danvers is able to absorb a wide range of energy types which has the effect of supercharging her body.  If given enough energy she can reach heights not yet determined.  All of her powers can be amplified in this manner and even gives her a few new tricks such as cellular regeneration allowing her to heal from most wounds, and even the ability to molecularize her clothes to change their look and shape.

Photonic Blasts: Perhaps a byproduct of her energy absorption abilities she is able to form and fire photon and stellar energies as powerful blasts.  Their power are heavily dependent on how much energy she has absorbed so the more energy you feed her the more powerful the blasts.  At normal levels she can easily break apart machinery and so much more.

Military/Pilot Training: She can pilot most aircraft and has the affinity to learn spacecraft rather quickly.  Also training in both unarmed and armed combat like every military officer.

Origin And Backstory (In A Maximum Of Four Paragraphs):

Carol Danvers was the oldest child in a rather traditional but poor family.  Due to monetary constraints her parents could only pay for some of their kids' college tuition and to give some of her brothers a better chance her father decided to skip her despite her good grades.  Wanting to go to college but unable to afford it, Carol Danvers decided to join the military to help pave her way and entered the Air Force.  She managed to rise to the rank of Colonel before deciding to join NASA.

During her time at NASA while on assignment she met the enigmatic Walter Larson and the two formed a close bond.  Later it is revealed to her that he is actually Captain Mar-vell, a spy of the Kree Empire.  Devastated by the revelation, Carol was easily tricked and kidnapped by Colonel Yon-Rogg who uses her to plan Mar-vell’s, ultimate demise by luring him into a trap.

Mar-vell, feeling responsible for the abduction, quickly flied right into the trap for the fight of his life.  During that battle and some misdirected fire from Yon-Rogg, an explosion occurs which exposed the Kree Psyche-Megatron’s energies to Carol.  Due to its strange powers and abilities, along with the exposure to Kree technology and genetic structure, the strange device proceeded to warp and meld Carol’s body with the surrounding Kree,  The result gave birth to the new Ms. Marvel.

After gaining her new abilities S.H.I.E.L.D. quickly learned of the alien conspiracy and the creation of the new human/kree hybrid Carol Danvers.  Captain Mar-vell managed to keep his involvement as Walter Larson a secret but now S.H.I.E.L.D knew of a Kree operative on earth.  Due to the alien involvement in the incident, S.W.O.R.D., the extraterrestrial off-shoot of S.H.I.E.L.D., became involved and spearheaded by Agent Abigail Brand has been keeping an eye on the new Ms. Marvel as well as any more Kree activity.

What Makes This Character 'Ultimate'?:

This version of Ms. Marvel thankfully does not have to deal with the split personality from the Psyche-Megatron exposure and has had a fairly stable transition.  All the power and changes to her body are still quite new to her so she is still getting a handle on her new situation.  Due to the incident that created her she has developed some xenophobic tendencies.  Despite this her friendship with Mar-vell, while rocky is salvageable because of his willingness to sacrifice himself and his reputation in the Kree Empire, she has somewhat forgiven him but maintains some distrust of him.

Due to a shaky start and her experience, this version of Ms. Marvel has already been semi-recruited by S.W.O.R.D. who is keeping a close eye on her.  Trying to make sense of her new circumstances after essentially being expelled from NASA over the incident, she has only been doing the odd job here and there while she tries to figure herself out.

This Carol is someone who is confused about her current role in the world and the current rapid changes are forcing her to adapt quickly.  Her identity as a hero hasn’t been defined yet and so this season more focuses on how she creates her new identity and steps into a strange, alien world.

Supporting Characters:

Captain Mar-vell/Walter Larson: A Kree spy on earth who took the identity of Walter Larson for his mission.  Due to his time on Earth and getting to know earthlings, including Carol, he grew to like the planet and his people which has put him at odds with his mission.  Due to his alien revelation to Carol, their relationship is rather strained at the moment.

Colonel Yon-Rogg: An aggressive and greedy member of the Kree Navy, he has always been somewhat of a rival to Captain Mar-vell and is always on the lookout for prestige and recognition.  Catching wind of Mar-vell’s leaning allegiances, the Colonel took it as an opportunity to rat out a traitor and boost his own rank in the process.  His kidnapping of Carol Danvers to lure Mar-vell into his trap was what started everything.

Abigail Brand: An agent of S.W.O.R.D. who has essentially been positioned as Carol’s new handler do to her expertise in aliens, though that expertise is limited of course.  It is her duty to keep tabs on the new human/alien hybrid when she is not busy with her other duties, which is most of the time so mostly she just checks in from time to time.  Her hair is a natural green which reveals some alien heritage.

Dr. Minn-Erva: A Kree scientist whose specialty is genetic engineering.  Dr. Minerva has taken a special interest in Earth due to its unique genetics which has cause such a wide range of abilities to form.  As the Kree have reached peek genetic homogeny where is very little genetic variability as a whole, so her aim is to find a way to adapt the human genome as a way to modify Kree genes and improve her race, or at the very least herself.

Joseph Danvers [Father]: Carol’s father, they don’t speak too much and are not on the best of terms.  He can be blunt, crass, and downright disagreeable but he does care, though his sons take up more of his heart than Carol.

Salia Petrie: Carol met the red-headed Salia Petrie at Nasa where they started to work on projects together.  Not very many women ended up in their section so they naturally started spending more time together than other co-workers.  The two have a close bond and often confide in each other, though Carol now finds she is a bit limited in what she can say.

Sample Post:

There are times in your life when you just want to stare at a wall, just so happened my wall was full of drinks.  The inside of this bar was currently my wall.

I let my mind wander as I sat at the bar counter, with a lazy hand touching the top of my glass with just enough force to clink the melting ice around.  In the bottom of the glass was a small bit of whisky which I had barely touched, even though I had been in the mood for something a little heavy I guess I just liked beer better.  In any case, I wasn’t here to be drop dead drunk, it was more to think about everything that had happened in my life so far.

My life is pretty screwed up at the moment.

My almost official boyfriend, Walter Lawson, had turned out to be a spy from an alien empire. I had been duped and kidnapped by a Kree military officer who considered Walter to be a traitor to the Kree.  Used as bait to lure and destroy Walter…no…Captain Mar-vell, and this Colonel Yon-Rogg put me and potentially the entire Earth in jeopardy.  Mar-vell was able to stop him but not before an explosion bathed me in the dying breathe of some crazy machine’s particles and rays.  Apparently the machine was almost alive and even manipulate the brain directly, perhaps an aftereffect of the explosion it had done so much more than a few changes to my body.

I had been rescued but my life, body, and mind had been changed forever.

S.W.O.R.D. picked me up shortly after and ran a whole assortment of tests.  From the results it appears the explosion bonded Kree DNA to my own genetic structure and apparently even downloaded a bunch of alien knowledge directly into my brain.  I was taken aback when one of the tests had me reading some out-of-this world text and I could even read the nonsense and translate it for them!  Sometimes even my own vocabulary gets mixed up with some language I don’t know yet somehow I know exactly what it means even if I can’t explain it.

Apparently Kree DNA comes with its own set of instructions.

Eventually they let me go and I was put on leave because of the incident, since it was my own damn fault I’m sure they were just being nice to me before my position is terminated.  At least it has given me some time to think.

I hear the chime of the small bell by the door, betraying that someone has entered the bar.  I turn to see one of my best friends enter, Salia Petrie.  She is, or was, a coworker of mine at NASA, we've been through thick and thin together but not being able to work along side her any more will sure change things.

I’m surprised she found the time to come down here.

“Hey there Carol, how are you holding up?”  The slender red-head asks as she slides into the seat next to me.  I tighten my grip on the glass and bring it up for a quick sip, the whisky slips down by throat with a slight burning sensation.  I have to be a bit careful these days as it can be pretty easy to break something as fragile as a glass since the accident.

“Well I won’t sugar coat it Salia, I feel like absolute crap.  You would think with the whole world drastically changing these past few months that things couldn’t get any stranger.  It was just a little while ago that the whole metahumans thing became common knowledge and next thing you know I’ve been abducted by big blue-men, and they are not members of a band.”

Having someone who actually knows a bit about the real situation certainly allows me to blow off some steam.  Quite a few things would just be seen as me going mad if I started ranting to some random barkeep or patron.  But even with her, there are still quite a few confidential things I can’t even think of discussing without breaking protocol.

Strange things might be well known now, but the military and intelligence departments still have plenty of secrets to keep, like most of the details of my little abduction and the aftermath.  As a NASA member who had been in the area at the time she at least knew about the alien involvement if nothing else.  I could at least talk with her a little without going into the specifics.

“Sorry to hear that Carol, and to think that Larson had to leave on official business.  He would have been more than happy to help you through this.” I winced a bit on the inside at her mention of Larson, even just hearing his name made me feel the stab in the back I had felt upon learning his true identity, not to mention the pain to my heart.  Despite the betrayal I still had not told S.W.O.R.D. about how he was actually a Kree spy, while I had yet to fully forgive him I could at least tell he had been sincere when he apologized after the incident.  Of course after apologizing for everything that happened to me he had also mentioned needing to check on something which had gone missing.  Of course he gave me no details and had disappeared completely off the grid as he did whatever it was he was doing.

He was definitely still a jerk.

“Ya, I wish he was here too.” I managed to crack a small smile despite my inner thoughts, and downed the rest of the glass before smacking it on the table.  I really did wish he had stuck around; partially so I could get the full story straight from his mouth about what was really going on, and also because I really, really wanted to beat his ass down air force style!

“But hey, I’m a tough girl and I’m sure it won’t be too much longer before I’m back in action.”  I tried to sound confident as I twirled the remaining ice in my glass.

“Of that I have no doubt Carol.  You always did know how to take charge of things!” Salia flashed her pearly whites and signaled for the bartender.  “I’ll have a hard lemonade thanks!”  With a nod the bartender went about his business and of course I had to poke a little fun at her.

“Oh yes, a hard lemonade, such a daring choice.”

“Well excuse me if I can’t hold my liquor like you army types.”

“It was air force actually.”

“Oh shut up and get another drink.  Let’s just forget about our troubles for a bit and talk about stupid things.”

“Sounds good, might be just what I need right now.”

Yes, that certainly did sound like a good plan.  Soon came my next round, though I decided it was time to go back to plain old beer.  Nothing quite like a cold beer while chatting with friends, almost like I was back in the air force but without the uniform of course.

Soon my troubles started to fade away into the horizon.

Introduction

A somewhat innocuous, small city  in the heart of the USA.  Like any city it has its quirks, its parks, its stores, its high school, and its stories.  Unlike other cities however, there is a particular crazy aspect that is seen nowhere else as far as is known.  This town is under siege by dark forces, strange events, and general weirdness.  However, there is a defender that has risen to fight this evil, a magical girl!

It’s too bad she is a bit lacking in the brains department.

Welcome to Juniper City and Juniper Legacy High School.  Yes there are quite a few Juniper trees around town hence the name.  Things were pretty normal about a year ago but then everything changed when the city went bonkers and then suddenly a magical girl appeared.  Life has never been the same since.

Juniper City: Places of Note
(Will be added as needed)


Junpier Legacy High School: The biggest high school in the area, so of course most of the youth go here, including the Mahou Shojo of Juniper City.  Known for some decent sports teams, some arts programs, and where clicks form as naturally as breathing.  Also where a lot of strange events occur.

Juniper Lake: Not the prettiest of places but certainly the biggest watering hole in the area.  Many people come out here to enjoy the water and forget about the latest events to turn their lives upsidedown.

The Arcade: A bit run down these days but somehow it has still survived despite all the fancy gaming consoles these days.  A good place to waste time, hang out, and blow off some steam.  Even has a few new games.

Juniper Mall: Because there are few other cities and towns Juniper does have its own mall to call its own.  Not large by any standards but it at least has two levels and quite a few different stores, with a decent amount of traffic it is a place that is often targeted by strange things.

How she screwed up my life: (What piece of bad luck has befallen you during our young, magical girl’s reign? A fun little story or blurb about some type of misfortune that happened due to her antics.)


Remember you're playing normal people who have to deal with all this crap springing up around them.  So no magical girls/guys and whatnot.
