Guys, this thread moves fast enough without spam. Talking is fine but... don't push it, motherfuckers. Especially if you haven't posted IC.

@Morden Man

Hulk makes his own rules.

The New Frontier: A Marvel/DC One Universe RP

@Natty you went with something new but...

In my defence he is at a different point than ASM Hulk and has a slightly different origin (Cross between the two Hulk movies) :P.

He also already has two enemies! :O

Three if you include Lux.

Tony Stark and Reed Richards use their genius to save the world every other week. That's how they'll be remembered in history. Meanwhile, I – I who, forgive me, have just as much to contribute – will be lucky if my tombstone doesn't simply say "Hulk Smash."

Name: Doctor Robert "Bruce" Banner

Alignment: None

Affiliation: Lawful Chaotic (Can be Chaotic Evil if enraged to the point of Savage)

History:

Childhood

Bruce was raised by his father, an esteemed scientist working for the US military. Trying to secure the nations future during the Cold War with the Nuclear arms race. As Bruce grew older he began to notice the tenuous relationship that his father and mother seemed to have. As things became worse for his father at work, things became worse at home.

When his father lost his job working for the military he turned to drinking and violence, after several scenes of domestic violence a young Bruce called the police on his own father. Securing his and his mothers safety, the last time Bruce wanted to see his father was the court proceedings. He didn't want to speak to him again, and he didn't want people to suffer like he did. He vowed to do all that he could to make the world a better place, and he'd do that with his natural talent. The same natural talent that ruined his fathers life, he turned to science.

Though he should have known he wouldn't be lucky to escape so easily. In a blind and drunken fury, claiming that his work in radiation had tainted Bruce his father came at him with a knife. Likely just jealousy that Rebecca, Bruce's mother, held more love towards their son than he did to her. In a final act of love and compassion she stood in the way, but undeterred he killed her in a blind fury. That, was the last time he saw her. As he was then moved to a mental insitution and Bruce went to live with his aunt Susan.

Education

His aunt convinced him that he didn't have to live the life of his Fathers sins, and use his intellect to benefit those in the world. Bruce became a prodigy, as he grew older he took an interest in Nuclear Science as it was a growing industry. The power to change the world itself, he studied at the Desert State University in New Mexico (A location that would become important later in life) before going on to study at Harvard and then gain his Doctorate from the California Institute of Technology all in the various realms of Nuclear Physics. He became a big name in the field, but wanted to do good in the world.

Though he couldn't get any funding, no-one wanted to fund bright eyed dreams of making the world a better place.

Employment at LexCorp

He worked for the U.S. Military for a period of time, however eventually LexCorp came to creation in 2003 and while the idea of changing employer didn't really appeal to him, however when they were awarded all the lucrative contracts Banner saw his chance, LexCorp was obviously the way forward as the military would never fund his research. Perhaps an up and coming company would be his way to do the research he wanted, he'd just have to work his way from the bottom up. Within a couple of months Bruce was working on new weapon contracts within the company as it began to compete with Stark Technology and Hammer Industries. He was on the right track.

Something interesting happened however when LexCorp introduced a medical branch. Seizing his chance he sent his idea up the chain on how to use Radiation to improve the human body. Effectively become immune to radiation and improve the human body, obviously some of the fat cats would label that as super soldier however all major technological developments did typically start as a military project. This was something he knew could work, and obviously some of the powers at be felt it could work too as it was approved.

Becoming the Hulk

Moving to a facility near Vista Verde, like all origin stories, not everything went to plan. When the machines malfunctioned Bruce managed to save the life of one of his fellow employees at risk to himself absorbing what was easily a lethal dose of Gamma radiation, he would be lucky to survive to the end of the week. Without second thoughts he grabbed the vial of formula and injected himself. Much to his lab partner, Rick Jones', great displeasure. What happened next, could never be predicted. Bruce doubled over in pain as his bones began to grind on one another and his muscles... grew, somehow. His skin turning a dark green and he kept growing till he was easily seven foot tall.

Beating two giant fists on the ground he walked over to the machine, picking it up with impossible strength and throwing it through the wall. Hulk continued to rampage through the facility until he just disappeared. Seeing the damage the Hulk (Or so the papers were calling him) could do Rick saw no choice but to destroy all their data and all of the experiment, blaming it on Bruce to prevent himself ending up in jail Rick was just sad that this meant that helping his friend would become nigh impossible...

A Cure?

Bruce, and Hulk have been on the run ever since. Conflicting with eachother at every turn, LexCorp and the authorities seemingly around every corner ready to spring a trap on them. Eventually Bruce managed to hide out in Canada where he got in touch with a Doctor on the internet who went by the alias Doctor Blue, while he went with Doctor Green. Together they discussed the prospect of a cure, a way to cure Banner of his affliction, as such Bruce shared the chemical make up of the chemical he had taken to save himself from Gamma Radiation and thus turned him into the Hulk.

Unknown to him Doctor Blue a.k.a Samuel Sterns actually worked for LexCorp and had always considered Bruce a rival, so wasn't trying to cure him but take his work and kill him. Offering the chemical to LexCorp, due to it's "succes" with Bruce it was approved for a human trial on the basis that the individual was not bombarded with nuclear radition. The test subject was a gun for hire and ex-Russian mercenary Emil Blonsky. When the chemical apparently worked, Sterns went about thinking of a way to kill Bruce rather than let him find a way to counteract his own work, or worse destroy it.

Still using the alias Doctor Blue he managed to convince Bruce to venture to the old lab in Vista Verde where he had developed a machine that would bombard Bruces cells with more Gamma Radiation than they could handle feeling that it was the easiest way to kill Bruce. Obviously Bruce wouldn't know the machine was active before too late, little did he know the consequences that it would have. Emil Blonksy in his new power had become fixated on getting in a fight with the Hulk, so when LexCorp told him to follow Stern to see what he was up to he was thrilled at the prospect of a fight with the Hulk. It would seal the fate of the three of them.

On arriving in the facility Stern activated the machine, however before it could begin it's work Stern noticed Emil. In shouting for him to get out of the way Bruce was alerted and fled. However the radiation would still do a job. Emil was affected in a worse way than Stern, growing into a giant Hulk sized monster. Though later it would be made clear that he had retained the same intellect. Stern himself miscalculated, even from behind the shielding his body was irradiated but unlike the others he didn't become a monster. In fact he became positively brilliant!

A Deal

Emil, now Abomination stormed into Vista Verde on a mad rampage. He didn't care who got in the way he was fixed on having his fight with the Hulk. Calling him out, was he afraid to fight him? Probably, or at least obviously as he hadn't turned up yet. Bruce seeing the commotion on the news had no choice, surely him and the entity known as the Hulk could strike an accord? Work together for what was best? With no other option he returned to a Vista Verde in flames.

That's when Hulk took over. The fight itself caused untold destruction as the two goliaths clashed, while Abomination appeared stronger his strength was a fixed state unlike the Hulks... there was also something different about the Hulk that appeared now compared to those that had appeared before. He was still enraged and unpredictable but there was something different in his eyes...

Justice League of America

Ever since then, the Hulk and Bruce have had an even more difficult relationship as while before the Hulk was a mindless beast even now Bruce has to admit that he's something more... what doesn't make it easy is that while both of them still avoid as many people as possible Lex Luthor has a new band of goons, the Justice League. A group of heroes working for him and as much as Hulk is hunted by Lex Luthor he has no doubt that the Justice League are equally on his tail, which is even more unwanted attention especially when he just wants left alone, so he can maybe do some good for this world.

That's all he ever wanted, he never asked for any of this.

Supporting Cast:

Allies:

• Rick Jones: Rick was a good friend before the accident, and even owes Bruce his life. He's been a constant source of support to both Bruce and the Hulk. Wanting to help them find their place in the world.
• Betty Ross: Love of Bruce Banners life. He hasn't seen her since the accident...

Known entities:

• Captain America: Captain America is what Bruce was trying to replocate. It just... went wrong.
• Superman: Who doesn't know Superman? Bruce has thought about going to him on occasion. Though has avoided it, he isn't quite sure how the super hero would react.
• Reed Richards: He followed Reeds work closely through the year, and they had the occasional correspondence. He wouldn't quite consider him a friend, but if he needed help Bruce would ask him. He'd also respond to a call for help from him.
• Tony Stark: There's a bit of contempt for Stark. Also a child prodigy but born with a silver spoon in his mouth, got everything he ever wanted and more.

Enemies

• Gen.T.E.Ross: Father of Betty, military General who has worked closely with LexCorp in trying to bring the Hulk down.
• Lex Luthor: Lex seems to view Hulk as his property, either that or really liked the labs at Vista Verde...
• Abomination: While Abomination has been apprehended - for now, he's still a serious fault and his existence is his fault.
• Samual Sterns: Bruce knows that Sterns betrayed him. Though he isn't quite sure how deep this wound goes, or what the reprecussions of their previous encounters could lead too...

How (if at all) does the New Frontier version of your character differ from the original?:

I love the Hulk, and Bruce. I love their dynamic and relationship, I don't want to change that. At most I'll be displaying a more comicy/cartoony approach to Hulk and Bruces relationships than the one shown in the MCU.

@Sep I've always wondered about this - is it that you can't see it against the grey background or that it looks similar to another colour?

@Morden Man

Because it's dark, I find it hard to pick out. I can see that it's there but I need to highlight it to read it. I can't remember when but at one point I remember I ignored someone by accident as I actually could not read their text :P

The New Frontier: A Marvel/DC One Universe RP

@Morden Man not to be a pain but can you use a different red? The lack of contrast is not beneficial to those of partial colourblindness xD

The Holy Nation of lu'tagta clann*

_{*the chosen children}

Ruling body

Common name: The Clann
Government: Religious matriarchy

Home system: Dachai'de lu'dalta Home of the Gods

Inhabited planet(s):

Patach'cuan Childs Ocean

Patach'cuan is a lush ocean world with no landmass to speak off, the oceans themselves according to the great library of the gods being some of the deepest within this part of the Galaxy. The capital city of the Clann is simply named the Capital and resides within a great cavern at the greatest depth that the Clann can possibly go to. it is where most of their people live their lives, with the exception of those who require to work outside the city. Either in the eye orbiting the planet or at the great resourcing operation.

Civilian assets:

The Eye

The Eye is the only habitable orbital installation the Clann owns and is named only in the dialect of the Gods. It consists of a giant sphere in orbit, placed there by the great Gift. It holds a fleet of defense drones, let alone the navy that patrols the sector. It also boasts the most advanced sensors that the Clann have to offer, turning it towards the outer reaches of their own system and hoping to capture a glimpse of what the Gods promised lies outside their own system.

Lu’bealach - [i]The Gateway[i]

The gateway is an uninhabited ring placed in orbit above an uninhabited area of ocean, the ring itself has powerful tractor beams all around it, on the topside and bottom side. It is used to pull asteroids out of the nearby asteroid belt into it, before casting them into the ocean below. Once in the ocean they are then transported to a refinery. Typically the Gateway never stops pulling asteroids from the belt when a project is underway, except during the summer where the planet skims the edge of the asteroid belt. As the summer is the time where the great Gift fell from the heavens it is considered blasphemous to pull anything from orbit during this time, as it is the time where the Gods give them their gifts.

Any asteroids that fall during that time are considered special, and only used in the best or most important construction projects.

Races

Species: The Clann (Just what they call themselves, it is who they are. Before that they had no name).
Population and growth: Number and percentage per year
Morphology:

img

They have long and powerful arms and legs. They have long fingers and toes that are webbed, their legs and feet are perfectly shaped that if held tightly together form an almost perfect tail for gaining as much speed as possible. They also have a retractable fin in the middle of their spine.

Anatomy: They're carbon based life forms that evolved from one of the many aquatic creatures on their homeworld. Like many aquatic creatures they gain oxygen through gills on their necks. Their stomachs are also incredibly robust able to gain nutrients from a variety of different foodstuffs, from plants to other living creatures. Though naturally cannibalism is heavily frowned upon. Their mouth actually consists of the forward part opening downwards then the right and left parts of their face opening into a large maw, strong acids in their mouths break down the food as they do not have any teeth, so in fact the actual process of passing food through their system is relatively fast as when food arrives in the stomach it is already within a liquid state and only requires the nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream, and then the waste to be excreted.

Their bones themselves are extremely strong to survive the deep pressures that the Clann call their home but unlike mammals where the bone is important for the likes of stability (i.e. legs are weightbearing) bones for the Clann are largely to keep muscles in the right shape and location. This does however provide problems in the fact that if they were to ever venture on land they would need a suit not only to help them breathe but to help them support themselves as while their muscles are strong enough to walk on their bones are not.

On a side note, due to the design of their mouths they find it very hard to speak the language of the Gods, and thus when doing so will speak extremely slowly as not to offend them.

History

The Clann are a simple people, always have been. They are in fact a very old race, having stories of a time before the Gift where those near the surface would see moving lights in the sky. The lights could never be explained however the Clann now believes that they were the vessels of the Sinn’ser. The Gods themselves, flying around in their benevolent chariots helping shape the Galaxy. Eventually came the time of reckoning, that would seal their fate forever.

When political movements were changing, and moving away from the tradition of the strongest female being in charge of their people the Gift fell from the heavens themselves, tearing through the cavern that they called home and into the exact centre of the city pointing back towards the heavens. The Gift came with a strange building attached, that was later discovered to be the Great Library. It told the exploits of the Sinn’ser, and how they traversed the Galaxy learning its secrets. Ever since then they have done their best to appease the Sinn’ser, so that they can come back and tell them the mystery of their existence and that all those lost on the path are welcomed into their arms in the afterlife. Overtime they would begin to advance technologically, though they still remained rather simple. Their society did not change everyone still worked for the benefit of the Clann by way of doing what the Queen requested of them.

Eventually they learned how to use the Gift to pull asteroids from the heavens themselves, classing it as a sign that they were ready from that moment onwards all metal and ore has come from space and they have not mined into their homeworld. Fearing that if they were to damage it too much the Sinn’ser would become displeased with them and never return. So things continued, the next step was trying to get to the stars themselves. A task that proved… difficult for them. Many of the methods that the Great Library described for flight included fire a task foreign to the underwater people, however when they managed to replicate the Gift… at least on a lesser extent.

They began attaching it to the ships they had designed to work underwater it became an easy way to maneuver underwater until one day an ambitions member of the Clann turned it towards the moon of their homeworld. The ship was small enough that it did infact pull the vessel out of the water and towards the moon, however the ship being small and the powersource not used to such stress the power system failed and it fell back to the ocean below…

Since then the Clann have just become more and more ambitions. In recent years with the help of the Gift they pushed The Eye into orbit to watch their people and try to find any hint of the Sinn’ser in their system or any nearby system.

Culture

Technology

Base elements: Carbon, Plutonium, Iron

Power generation: Wave (Hydro-electric) and Geothermal power centres are used on world in order to power facilities and the civilization itself. Through extensive research they are utilizing fission reactors on their space and marine craft.

Starship propulsion

Each ship has at least four tractor beams placed on it one forward, aft, port and starboard. These are used to grab onto nearby objects and push/pull to get the desired movement effect. These beams themselves can be angled to lock onto objects off centre, and while the beam can be set to push/pull they also are capable of creating a rotating tractor beam allowing the ships to spin when moving to produce the small amount of artificial gravity needed.

They are currently experimenting with FTL, but due to the fact that FTL is outside of real space they’re struggling with the concept.

Military technology

Armor: Rolled Homogenous steel.

Shielding: No shields, but with ballistic weapons if the ship can get a lock on it a tractor beam can stop incoming projectiles and even return them to the enemy.

Sensors: Basic radar, sensor bouys are placed throughout the system.

Communications: Mainly radio, however between ships and the planet or the Eye and the sensor bouys while the Clanns ships are still incapable of entering FTL they have found a way to make FTL transmitters.

Computation: How do your computers work, if you use any..

Weapons: Kinetic, largely plasma based.

Military

Ground forces: Just a number. Will only come into play when capturing planets - the real battle is won or lost on the orbit.
spaceships: What classes of ships do you field, if you use any.
Organization: How is your military organized

Relics

What kind of ancient artifacts and technologies do you have at your disposal? Note: Everyone starts with the library, which allows you to translate the ancient language and identify systems of interest that could house more relics.

All-Star Marvel: Audax Mundus Novus - Season 1 (Completed)

<Snipped quote by Sep>

Yes, I would like Ms. Marvel to be on the Avengers eventually. I am going to make her first associated with S.W.O.R.D., which is a branch of S.H.I.E.L.D., so we can go from there. And yes, I might be shamelessly using the Supergirl television series as an influence...bite me (please don't).

Also, no, I have not been up-to-date on Ultimate Spider-Man, or at least the television series, if that what you meant. I'm not updated on the comic either, so...spill the beans!

@Dedonus

Spoiler Warning

In the TV Series they've brought in the Scarlet Spider, with the concept that he was technically the first spider-man. Though due to his nature and that he hurt people instead of becoming a hero like Peter he essentially made himself an outcast in the sewers. Only emerging later in a time of crisis.

Also damn Supergirl... I like Flash. I like Arrow (Flash is better though IMO :P) but I just can't get into Supergirl...

but I'll need to watch an Episode in March when the Flash turns up :P

All-Star Marvel: Audax Mundus Novus - Season 1 (Completed)

@Dedonus an important note who was it you (Eventually, I'll likely wait till this Avengers team kinda works) wanted out of your cast on the team? Ms.Marvel?

I lost mine and @Nattys doc that we had everything on so I only know who is currently on it and who is X-Men not our potentials xD

Also anyone up-to date on Ultimate Spider-Man? For any Spider wannabes the latest surprise could prove an interesting way to be a Spider (Still with Deds permission) without crossing the Multiverse.
