I am still on RPG, so do feel free to message me. Just don't have the time or energy to actually join any RP's right now. Focusing on a LOT of other projects, including getting into Audio Drama.

I'd be curious to join in as Spider-Man. Specifically, I've been re-reading some of my old comics and i'm tempted to have a somewhat competant stab at the Clone Saga. Essentially, this is the rough idea that I have for it now:

* Judas Traveller is a magic wielder as well as scientist. During the war, he attempted on many occasions to try and provide the Allies with more successes like Captain America. By '43, he had had no luck at all, but due to his powers, had been drafted into the Howling Commandos, a squad of super-powered beings under Sgt Fury. After the war, Traveller began to blame himself for the 6 million dead Jews, stating that if he had just been more persistent, more determined, then he could have perfected the formula and those people may have lived. Traveller disappeared after the War.
* Cut forwards to 4 years before present day. Traveller, upon reading about the war-crimes in the middle-east begins to set up his Super-Soldier formula again, this time with the intention of creating an army of Super-Powered individuals under his command, designed to perform the duties that S.H.I.E.L.D. is too buried under Bureaucracy to do anything about. He sets about gathering DNA samples of multiple Super-powered beings, including his old Squad-mates that are still alive (Wolverine, Omega-Red, Captain America, ETC.)
* Traveller's earliest experiments were with Spider-Man, as the young man had proven interesting when he had helped bring down Sentry. Kidnapping Spider-Man, he held Spidey in his lab for the best part of a month whilst he ran experiments on him before wiping his mind and sending him back. Traveller uses the date and creates Kaine, but unfortunately, finds that Kaine is mentally unstable. Unable to control him, Kaine almost kills Traveller in his escape from his lab. Traveller goes to his old Sgt and tells Fury about his plan and the rogue Kaine. In the meantime, Kaine is on the streets, laying low and trying to figure out what he is. Hunted by S.H.I.E.L.D., Kaine runs into MJ, who mistakes him for Peter. This is when she finds out everything about Peter. She agree's to hide him if he agree's to calm down and tell her everything.
* Traveller works together with S.H.I.E.L.D., using his last favour from Fury to help put Kaine under wraps. Whilst Fury tries to track down Kaine, he forbids Traveller from creating any more clones. Traveller lies, managing to use an illusion spell on Fury to convince him that he never left the Helicarrier at any point, in the meantime, creating Spidercide using a combination of Peter and Omega-Red's body. Spidercide is a hulking monstrosity built to track-down his failed clones.
* As all of this is going on, Peter meets Kaine in MJ's basement and the 3 have a talk. Things seem to be going well until S.H.I.E.L.D. bust down the door. Kaine flips his shit and takes out most of the agents, damn-near killing one of them, but is stopped by Peter. The two have a short battle before Spidercide is dropped on the situation and the two are forced to work together to overcome the monster. Traveller attempts to aid Spidercide, but is killed (Seemingly) by Kaine. Peter disowns the clone, telling him that there is no way that a murderer like Kaine could ever be one of his clones. Kaine leaves quietly. Spidercide, in the meantime is found by Kingpin, who uses the beast to lead him to Traveller's laboratory.
* Cut to modern day, Spider-Man is one of the more respected of New York's Superheroes. Kaine is working as a hitman and is on top of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Most wanted. When Kingpin got his hands on Spider-Man's DNA, he used it to create an extraordinarily powerful drug that is known as "Redback" which gives the user Spider-senses for about 10 minutes, augmenting their reality. Spidercide is also working as Kingpin's bodyguard and top goon.

Essentially, I was hoping for some more Spider-Clones to pop up places and then have it turn out that Judas really had made his army, much to the dismay of Kaine, who is waging a 1-man war against his creator. I did very much like the "Who Is The Real Peter Parker" storyline, so i'm going to leave it ambiguous, with S.H.I.E.L.D. turning out to have Ben Reilly, whom they have had in their possession since the beginning of this debacle. The idea is that Judas' first forae into cloning is to use a spell to create and exact copy of Peter, but found that it was as uncontrolable as the original, so he wiped the clones mind and put it on ice until he could figure out a way to control it.

Also, if you don't mind, I'd like for, later down the road, I was hoping to bring Leopardon into this. Saying that Judas developed the magic robot as an "Anti-Giant Monster" defense weapon. Maybe with Kaine having it to begin with and later Peter capturing it. I imagine it'd get jobbed out to Thanos if we get that far XD.
Always up for AVP
That's fine, it wasn't really directed at anyone in particular, just sort of everyone to sort of gain a sense of how well a character like that would be received.
I actually have an idea for a character that I'd like to ask you guys about before I, potentially, spend ages making a character sheet that i'm not going to be able to use.

I am thing of making a new Allen, specifically a teenaged Allen who's Speed Force power actually manifests itself in access to unique magic spells. Essentially, she would be really proud of being a witch, but naturally, people find out that she's an Allen and are like "Oh, so you run fast, do you?" Which really annoys her. She is proud of the fact that she is the first Allen that can help people without just having the ability to run fast. The idea is that, over the course of the RP, her magic powers slowly start to fade her, being replaced with the Super-Speed that the Flash's are known for, with her character arc involving her learning to accept her power for what it is, less as "Just another link in one great chain of Flash's" but as someone that can make a hell of a difference and do so faster than any other living thing. "It's not what you can do that defines you, It's what you actually do with it that makes you a hero."

I like the idea of it leading up to some epic moment where some Supervillain is about to do something spectacular, when she shows up in A flash outfit and proceeds to kick his ass at supersonic speed.

I also like the idea of her desperately searching for ways to stop her powers transforming into the classic Flash powers, like trying to don the Helm of Fate or maybe accidentally backfiring a spell that unleashes a demon that her fading power lacks the means to stop.


This is the rough build of the character. I will, of course, finish it as soon as I can find an Inquisitor to serve under. I hate leaving the History blank, but nobody is truly to know his backstory and I can't write anything about the feats and events in the time that he has served his Inquisitor until I find one XD. A Blackshields past transgressions are known only by the Watch Commander that he told and was approved by.
Are we allowed to play characters with Terminator Armour? And are we sticking strictly with canon stuff? Because, I found a picture of a Sisters of Battle Terminator suit and would love to play it?

Alternatively, would a Deathwatch Blackshield Chaplain be allowed?

And if not, then i'll probably stick with the Deathwatch and go with either a Mantis Warrior Librarian or a Space Wolves Iron Priest
@AcerRo I have no objections to anything you said and will change it. I just thought it would be nice to have someone capable of flying the Blackbird... And as I said earlier, I kinda designed the character for age 38 and I had to change it.

For the whole "Yeah, let's send him to the place where he could hurt 18-24 year old kids" you do realize that the government see's it more like "Yeah, let's send him to that place filled to the brim with walking doomsday machines." I saw it along the lines of them wanting to send one of the few people that has proven an ability to handle mutants. I also wouldn't be opposed to the "Only down one eye due to deal with Myphisto" but Ace said he wanted to keep the non X-men stuff out so i'm not going to try my luck with that.

Plus, the British Military isn't as fucking insane as the American military. A tour is 6 months to a year, agreed beforehand. none of that "We can extend it if we feel like it, without the soldiers consent" shite, that some unlucky yanky was on the receiving end of, that would have spent 16 years in Iraq, was he not killed by being ordered to defuse an I.E.D. he wasn't trained to do, 12 weeks into his tour.

@Ace of flames01 I apologize and, as I said above, I'm gonna go tone it the fuck down.
@Ace of flames01 Fine, could I say that he is at least in the Royal Marine Commando's? I know you can be there by age 19, because my friend started his training for the RMC's aged 19.

The British armed forces work a lot differently than the American. In the British armed forces, you can join the Territorial Army at 16 (With parental consent) and be fully trained by 18, to be fast-tracked into the army, then you can apply to go to almost any branch for specialist training. RMC's are one of them. The British Army's training system is a hell of a lot more rigourous, as well. American Marines take a 20 week training course, RMC's are 36 weeks. Anyone that has been accepted into the RMC's can apply to join the S.A.S. immediately, that is 32 weeks of training and is held once a year, so if you apply at the correct time, it is actually possible to get straight into the S.A.S. by 20... Not likely, because the course is hell incarnate and they can kick you out at anytime they like, without warning, should they deem you not ready for it. All I asked was for my character to be able to be S.A.S. by age 24

Should I add that he failed the S.A.S. application process a couple of times before actually being allowed to take the course?
@Ace of flames01 Alrighty. I don't have any objections to changing it. I just didn't think it was a big deal.

I found a picture of a 25 year old soldier and stuck that in, instead. I just thought you would appreciate a face of perfection
