Hi all! My name's Chris and I'm bringing in this guy, Eli Bradley (aka Patriot) from Marvel's Young Avengers. If you know anything about his continuity, I'm bringing him in from near the beginning of Children's Crusade #8, meaning that he missed all the Really Big Stuff that happened in 8-9. Yeahh... that's not going to be fun for him to learn.

Eli's a 17-year-old supersoldier, grandson of the "Black Captain America" that the government doesn't want you to know about, and co-leader of the Young Avengers. Aside from all the superhero business, he's a high school junior from the Bronx who works at the New York Public Library after school. He has three younger sisters and a younger brother, who live with his mom and her new husband in Scotsdale, Arizona (Eli stayed with his grandparents in New York to finish high school). Dad was never in the picture. App's on his journal if you want to know more.

This is my first character at Singularity, but I've heard wonderful things about it and am very excited to be here. I'm on plurk as gazzafizza, just PP me first saying "I'm so-and-so from Sing!" so I don't get confused.

Congrats and welcome! Mari here :3 This is Wanda's account and you'll see Cathy under ranfromnormal <33

[ideaofamerica]

Yay! Be ready for Eli to feel all kinds of confused about Wanda not being the Wanda he knows (and just shot an arrow at).

[doesthemath]

/o/ She can handle it! Wanda has no issues explaining she's a younger, saner version from another reality.

[crotcharrow]

HALLO 8)))))))

[ideaofamerica]

'SUP BRO

[crotcharrow]

NOT MUCH

PREPARING MY TROLLFACE FOR YOU 8)

[ideaofamerica]

IT IS ON.

I just want to get him through the guilt/depression/angst of the initial arrival/big reveal so we can PLAY SOME VIDJA GAMES

[crotcharrow]

Yes, obv. Tommy is going through some heavy stuff too, SO THEY CAN BOTH DISTANCE THEMSELVES for a bit to deal. Or just all move in together. if the avengers can have a house so can they.

[assguardian]

Someone's going to be real happy to see you from a Happier Time, man. HUGS MIGHT HAPPEN!

Also hi I'm Danzy, I play this guy. :)

[ideaofamerica]

lskfaj is that Tommy in Molly's hat?

Living together would drive Eli nuts, but considering he doesn't know anybody else on the station, he'd probably go along with it.

[ideaofamerica]

YAY! If it pulls Billy out of his Bella Swan-esque depression, he'll be more than willing to be the Pillar of Strength. Because internalizing your issues never hurt anyone, right?

[ideaofamerica]

Younger's good. Saner's even better.

[crotcharrow]

yes. yes it is.

lmfao yeahhhhh. I can see them avoiding each other.

[ranfromnormal]

Seriously. The worst this Wanda has done accidentally is summon dinosaurs when she was a kid :Db not accidentally y'know, alter an *entire universe*

Also, laughing over your calling Billy's depression Bella Swan-esque. Sob.

[theuserabides]

Hello, I'm Carolyn. We talked a bit on Plurk. I'm a mod, and I play Kevin Flynn from Tron here on top of Emma.

But not literally, because that would be weird.

[ideaofamerica]

Unfortunately I can't take credit for that, I saw someone else (can't remember who) call it that on plurk. But it's totally fitting. He just sits there for months, doing nothing.

[ideaofamerica]

They'll work it out. They always do in the end. I refuse to believe Eli quits for good.

[ideaofamerica]

That... is a very odd image. But their color schemes match, at least.

Also, that is a wonderful user name.

[dusk_and_dawn]

Bluepard here again. Maybe he and Eli can angst about how they think they suck at leadership?

[ideaofamerica]

Oh, there will be much angsting going on, and I'm sure he'll be comforted to have someone older and wiser there to angst with.

[theuserabides]

Sometimes he wears black! Then again so does Em--DARK X-MEN DOESN'T COUNT.

And thank you. I used up all my username mojo forever on it.

[ideaofamerica]

Hate when that happens. You have one fantastic one and then the rest are just ...meh.

[usavatar]

I appear to say SQUEEEEEEEEEEEE. And now go to bed. WELCOME TO THE GAME.

[finnick_odair]

Welcome!

I don't know your canon, I'm afraid, but this means I'm not the newest person here anymore, yay! ;) I'm sAmmii, and I play Finnick Odair from The Hunger Games.

I hope you love it here as much as I do!

[these_fish]

I said hi over plurk, but HI and welcome aboard! And my headvoice Bucky who isn't here is all glad about Eli being up and about... Ahem.

I play this redhead here, as well as Shaun Mason from the (still relatively) new and obscure Newsflesh books.

[ideaofamerica]

It's your basic teenage superhero story: school, parents, hormones, saving the world, that sort of thing.

On the other hand, I just finished Mockingjay last week so I'm all sorts of excited about anything Hunger Games right now.

I'm sure I will! Everyone seems great so far!

[ideaofamerica]

You're all up on the Seans/Shauns. Now you just need a Shawn and you'll be complete!

True story, in my first RP game, I was debating between playing Sean or Raven (ultimately chose Raven b/c our Kurt player requested his mommy). I love him so much!

[ideaofamerica]

OMG CAP LIKES ME!!

Yeah, Eli's going to be very excited to see Steve. And I'm very excited in general, so it works out for the both of us.

SPOILER ALERT SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER

[finnick_odair]

Spoilers ahead!!!

Yeah, Finnick comes in at the end of Mockingjay...so, yeah, he's dead but doesn't know it.

[filou]

hola I am Mir! I play this joker and another joker by the name of Iron Man; if you haven't heard of him that's normal he's from this super obscure canon called The Avengers.

I'm sarasarus on plurk, so if you get an add from that it's me.

[ideaofamerica]

Huh, yeah no I've never heard of either of those guys. I guess I'll have to check out some of their stuff. ;)

[crotcharrow]

ME TOO HE HAS TO COME BACK ;__;

[ideaofamerica]

Oh man, I have years worth of headcanon for Eli's future... Maybe someday I'll plurk about it, but it's too much tl;dr to get into right now.

[assguardian]

sdjf Billy Swan, it's totally accurate /)_(\! Does this make Eli a Clearwater, I wonder.

I LOOK FORWARD TO PLAYING WITH YOU /O/!

[ideaofamerica]

NO IT DOES NOT. Eli's staying as far away from those books as possible, thankyouverymuch. He hears enough about the sparkly vampire guy from his little sisters.

AND I YOU! \o\

[assguardian]

On the bright side, if Billy really does go down the Swan road, he can just magic the baby into existence, right?

RIGHT, ELI?

/shrieks

[ideaofamerica]

/runs away screaming

Also this whole "what do we tell him??" thing is making me want to cry ;_;

[assguardian]

|D

AND YES ABOUT THAT do you want to discuss it OOCly? Because on Billy's end he really doesn't want to tell Eli and see him quit the team all over again, he's not ready to deal with it, but game-wise we ought to resolve that somehow... :c!

[ideaofamerica]

Yeah, I'm not sure now's the best time to tell him everything, but he'll want to know eventually. I just started up a plurk where the three of us can talk about it.

[assguardian]

Gotcha! /toodles off to

[these_fish]

I know, right? I didn't even do it on purpose! Maybe it'll be Seanan or something next...

HEEE YAY! *also has a Raven, sob, except not in any game* although to be fair, my knowledge of comics X-manz is less than post 2005 Avengerish characters. ANYHOO! YAY AWESOME PEOPLE BEING PLAYED!

[allthesame2me]

HI CHRIS! /waves

I'm Alma and I already friended you when you were introduced in someone elses' plurk, lol. Here at Sing I play Harley Quinn from the Batman series and Zhaneel the gryphon from The Heralds of Valdemar: Mage Wars series.

I'm psyched to see even more marvel bbs showing up and am super happy to welcome you to the game!

My plurk is almalthia and you added me already, so, welcome to the madness! :)

[ideaofamerica]

Yeah, I think I added you back. Thanks for the welcome!

I know Harley but I don't know the other canon...
