The Marauders (2018)

If you guys are still open, I have an idea for a demolitions expert/Engineer's Mate criminal sentenced to the ship. Either that or add another pilot/flight mechanic into the rosters, depending on need/desire. Interesting role that might add a little flavor. I can get a CS in within the next day or two.

Looks rather intriguing!

Titans: West Coast. (Teen Titans Roleplay)

Rather interested. I'm thinking of taking Arsenal (Roy Harper) for now.

Lol, true.

<Snipped quote by webboysurf>

Well, I was thinking the prologues would take place directly after the first Avengers movie and then maybe there would be a year-long time jump which would put our characters in Phase 2 of the MCU. That may be too big of a time jump though, which is why I was thinking my next post would only take place 3 days after my prologue. It seems like everyone is in (or is going to be in) New York so 3 days would give Ava enough time to get there. Having all of our OC's in the same place would increase the chances of them meeting each other as well.

@TwilightShadow

Sounds like a good plan (the three-day time jump, given how the RP has progressed so far). You're the DM, so roll it however you want to roll it (to reiterate @Almalthia and her point.

Marvel: Shadows and Secrets (18+)

I intentionally didn't have Jax jump into anything yet in case of a time-jump or something.

Prologue: Caesar's Fall

March 15th, 2012 | 18:47:32
Location: [REDACTED]

The recoil was all too familiar. Caesar practically felt it in slow-motion as he watched down the scope. 1... 2... hit. The few moments of calm were anticipated as Caesar watched the bullet penetrate the small, wooden crate in the warehouse. He watched the flames erupt, and the chain of explosions sent a cloud of flame and smoke into the air, clearly visible from miles around. Caesar took a second to relish in his shot, a simple one compared to his usual work, but threading a bullet through a two-inch gap from this distance was still impressive. Just as he was about to pack up his equipment, he noticed a movement from the factory doors. Multiple movements.

From behind the now-bent metal doors of the warehouse stumbled a few figures, smaller than he was expecting. He watched in horror, scanning what he had just done. A truck pulled up, and armed soldiers... no... agents bellowed out from the back. They wore the same colors... the same emblems that Caesar wore.

Caesar disassembled his sniper as he had been trained, quickly pocketing the single shell casing on the ground next to him. He did his best to not think about what had just happened. The pieces were assembling in his mind as the familiar sound of a Quinjet battered his ears. Caesar grabbed his gun-case and slid down the ladder as the spotlight graced over his sniper's nest, cleaned up except for a single item.

Minutes after Caesar's departure, the operatives had converged on the location. Lying on the roof of the garage was a single SHIELD badge with Caesar's identification number... a clear sign of Caesar's retirement.

Jax

May 5th, 2012 | 05:36:23
Location: Pier 78, Hell's Kitchen, New York City

Jax sat on the small metal bench overlooking the ferry yards ahead of him. The workers were rather slow to start their morning routine in readying the ferry for today's tourists. A few tourists had already begun gathering, hoping to get their sightseeing tour of the New York Skyline in the early hours of the day. A man in a suit and tie sat down next to Jax, who was sporting his usual biker jacket and jeans. The suited man gave a small smile, not even looking in Jax's direction. "Today is supposed to be great weather. Nice day for a boat ride."

"If you're trying to ask me out on a date, Myers, you should be a little more forward," Jax responded flippantly, as usual. "I got you the files you wanted. I'm glad to see you trying to make new friends, but I feel like spying on them isn't exactly the best option, Caesar."

Myers held out a small, heavy duty cell-phone. Jax gave a small smile and grabbed it, tapping the lock button to reveal a shield wallpaper. "Caesar died on that rooftop. I go by Slingshot now... and you guys really need to stop putting your tacky logo on everything." Jax pocketed the phone and stood up, walking towards his Diabola V65C.

Myers sat there for a moment, watching the former agent drive away at a breakneck speed East. "Slingshot... that's the dumbest name I've ever heard."

Backstory:

Jackson Hurley grew up a military brat before being forced into a military school at the age of 14. He took to sharpshooting rather quickly, but was known for his unwilling nature to follow orders. He was regularly beaten and disciplined for years while at military school, until he eventually learned to play by the rules just enough to get by. He never bought into the group mentality and selfless patriotism most of his comrades lived by.

Jax went on to gain admittance into the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. After graduating with degrees in Physics and History while also having mastered Arabic, Chinese, and Russian, Jax's record is heavily redacted. All of his missions/assignments appear to have never existed, though a single codename sticks out in his military record: "Caesar." A "Caesar" is also listed in the documentation and files of SHIELD. His operations for SHIELD are similarly redacted. A "Caesar" is similarly listed in HYDRA's own database as a former candidate, and currently as a potential threat.

Special Skills (if any):
- Sharpshooter extraordinaire (Somewhere between Punisher and Hawkeye for Reference)
- Military CQC Training

Star Wars: The Outer Rim Onslaughts

Little late to this, but interested.

No More Heroes

@LordOfTheNight

Hey, if you're still accepting players/submissions, I have something down below. This RP looks interesting and this is a little something I put together. Figured most of the character would come out in the RP though, less focusing on specifics and more giving an idea of what the character looks like atm.

Character Sheet

N A M E

Jax Arx / ULTRA

species Human

age 27

height/weight 6' 3" / 220 lbs

gender Male

P O W E R

Energy Manipulation

Jax Arx's signature ability is that of energy manipulation, a gift gained from a modification of minor genetic editing and technological implants from his father (a supervillain in his own right, now deceased). His primary forms of displaying his power are through energy absorption/creation (Defensive) and Energy Attacks (Offensive).

W E A K N E S S

Burnout/Overloading

Jax is only capable of channeling so much energy through his body/system. If he attempts to absorb too much energy, or expends too much of the energy stored up, he loses most of his functionality and is as helpful as your average joe.

B A C K G R O U N D

Jax always had a penchant for getting in trouble. He grew up in the midwest of the U.S. to a supervillain father and a hero brother (his brother sharing the same powers). Ever since he was a kid, his father would perform routine "tests" on him, using the child as a chance to experiment. Jax was lucky to make it out alive when he escaped at the age of 15, let alone with powers. Jax was educated well-enough, and managed to squat for the next few years as he finished high-school and stole everything he needed to survive. Jax often jacked expensive cars in his late adolescence, and enjoyed the freedom of a life of crime.

Jax's life got more complicated after he graduated high school. He attempted to go to college, but was blacklisted as his father's crimes had become a matter of public record. Jax was unable to pursue his dream of being a proper engineer, and so continued his pattern of theft. Until one fateful day when he attempted to steal from the wrong mansion. The owner turned out to be a small-time, local hero (unbeknownst to anyone, let alone Jax). The hero attempted to beat Jax to a bloody pulp, but something snapped half-way through the beating. Jax's anger flared, and blasts of red energy pulsed from his clenched fists. Jax brutally murdered the hero who had attempted to kill him, and Jax's hatred began to seethe through every fiber of his being.

Jax tried to keep a low profile, stealing and killing only to survive. He was wisecracking most of the time, but to say that he was a good person is an utter falsehood. Jax murdered both his father and his brother for his own reasons, easily summed up by a deep hatred for what they had done to Jax in his youth.

When the invasion began, Jax refused to fight to save anyone. He kept his head down and primarily went with the flow, but refused to fully buy into the system. Jax wasn't going to let the alien bastards fuck with his DNA, and he wasn't going to buy into some alien agenda shit. So Jax's anger landed him right in a penal colony in Scotland, the last place Jax wanted to end up.
