Blue Blazes!

A Richard Rider/Nova RP blog

[nova-human-rocket]

Intro:

Let’s get this out of the way now.

Yes, I’m a Nova Centurion - Richard Rider, Corpsman 11249-44396 - and I killed Annihilus. Yes, it’s true; I did rip his insides out of his throat. No, I don’t want to talk about it.

I was a teen superhero and I used to be on the New Warriors. I used to go by Kid Nova back then, but they called me “the Human Rocket” (okay, that was me. They called me “buckethead”). No, I wasn’t part of… that. I was also on the Guardians of the Galaxy for a bit. Don’t know them? For the best. Nowadays, I’m the last of the Nova Centurions, and one of only three survivors of the Xandarian omnicide, and I’m trying to rebuild my life with an ultra advanced alien AI computer inside my head. Say hello, Worldmind.

…

Yeah, he can only be heard by myself and telepaths. I’m not crazy or talking to myself. I swear. Cosmo the talking Soviet space dog will back me up.

I told you, I’m not crazy!

Also, yes, I was dead for a bit - you’re not imagining it. I got better.

If you need job done well, I’m your cosmic hero!

Please pay me, I really need the credits.

OOC

Richard Rider. Or Rich.

Anyone can interact

Just doing this for fun

Lore will be from a mix of sources, mostly comics, plus headcanons

Mun is an adult

No NSFW

Fine with romance and flirting, but only from 18+ RPers

Rich has PTSD on top of PTSD. And depression. And he’s an alcoholic. Dude’s just… not a happy person. But as long as he’s distracted, he won’t think about it.

Rich also still has his facial scar from Annihilation. He’s pretty neutral about it. It’s just part of his body.

Posts from/including the Xandarian Worldmind will be in blue

Some references for said facial scar:

With and without his helmet on

The scar’s length - from his eye, down his face and neck

And what he looks like head on

As for how he got it, it was from fighting Annihilus during the Annihilation Wars

[nova-human-rocket]

Why is it that I can beat the scut out of Annihilus in real life, but in this stupid game, I keep dying to him?

That’s not fair!

[nova-human-rocket]

The worst thing about living is having a body.

I hate you, meat suit.

[heroesforhirenyc]

So, you’re Heroes For Hire? Can I join? I’m a hero. I’m for hire. Or am I too overqualified?

@nova-human-rocket

Hey, you're Nova! Don't you do, like, space stuff?

[nova-human-rocket]

You know I got my start right here on Earth.

[heroesforhirenyc]

Cool! Let me get... so we don't really have anything for you to sign right now. I think Mr. Cage has just been giving people handshakes, so if you're ready...

*The secretary extends her hand*

[nova-human-rocket]

*Rich shakes it*

Cool. Yeah. If there’s any paperwork in future, I’d be happy to sign.

[heroesforhirenyc]

Yeah, we'll get all of that settled soon. I'm pretty sure this officially starts in a couple weeks.

[nova-human-rocket]

Excellent. I’ll be sure to stay on Earth. Or not. I can open portals to anywhere in space.

I’ll be nice to spend time on Earth again.

[heroesforhirenyc]

Is there a way to contact you while you're in space?

[nova-human-rocket]

Yeah just through here. Worldmind will pick up the messages. If I’m not dealing with an 8X8 or worse, a 9X9, I’ll be there within a few minutes

[heroesforhirenyc]

...Right. Well, I think that's all. Welcome to the team.

[nova-human-rocket]

Cool. Glad to be here.

[heroesforhirenyc]

[nova-human-rocket]

I may be short but I’m not Wolverine short. I am 5 foot 9! That is average height! Wolverine is so tiny I don’t even believe he’s from Canada. Man’s Lilliputian.

[bobby-icy-drake]

You're shorter than me and I can give you a kiss on the head

[nova-human-rocket]

I’m average for civilian life, but short compared to all the other superheroes except maybe some of the women and Wolverine. It’s embarrassing.

Don’t tell Wolverine I said that though. I don’t want to be stabbed again. I can imagine a Wolverine stab hurts worse than a regular stab.

OOC

He IS short! And he’s been compared to Wolverine.

[bobby-icy-drake]

Actually I think it hers less because his claws are sharper which is actually kind of bad

Like you don't know how much damage is actually done until it's too late

[nova-human-rocket]

So it is worse. Oh man. Yeah I do not want to get on the wrong side of Wolverine.

[bobby-icy-drake]

He's basically a big kitty tho

[scottsummers-xmen]

Neither of you have been impaled by Wolverine then called gay by screenrant for it so you two have no way to talk about being stabbed.

[big-bad-wolvie]

What's a screenrant

[scottsummers-xmen]

News publication.

[big-bad-wolvie]

Yeah that fits.

[scottsummers-xmen]

Does it?

[big-bad-wolvie]

All news is fake news Scott.

[scottsummers-xmen]

There’s some truth in the news.

[big-bad-wolvie]

Of course you'd think that

[scottsummers-xmen]

Of course you wouldn’t.

There’s good reporters. Ben Urich has been very kind to us. And that Peter Parker photographer gets great pictures.

Eddie Brock has had some good stuff.

[nova-human-rocket]

We all know The Daily Bugle has some good stuff outside of the Spider-Man: Is He A Menace stuff, but Screenrant might as well be the National Enquirer.

[nova-human-rocket]

I may be short but I’m not Wolverine short. I am 5 foot 9! That is average height! Wolverine is so tiny I don’t even believe he’s from Canada. Man’s Lilliputian.

[bobby-icy-drake]

....When aren't you guys being called gay by screen rant?

[nova-human-rocket]

They never accused me of being gay. Then again, they have accused me of trying to get in Jean’s pants.

[bobby-icy-drake]

Huh.

[nova-human-rocket]

I never did by the way. I may be poly, but I’m not a cheater.

[ashes-of-the-mind]

Yeah how about no.

[nova-human-rocket]

Hey, I’m not into you either.

[ashes-of-the-mind]

I know. I'm psychic. I was talking about the photo.

[nova-human-rocket]

Yeah that photo is terrible. I hate it. Screenrant always make me look bad. I know I wear a bucket on my head but I can’t be that hard to take a decent photo of.

That’s right, you’re psychic! You can probably hear Worldmind!

[ashes-of-the-mind]

To be fair you're not easy to take photos of considering you're always flying away at the speed of light.

I always just tune them out but I can try if you want

[nova-human-rocket]

Not always. Sometimes I stand around. Or sit. Or eat. Or punch the monster. They’re just not trying hard enough. Maybe that Peter Parker can get a good photo of me since he takes such good photos of Spider-Man. That’ll prove I’m photogenic.

Nah, it’s fine. Don’t worry about it.

[nova-human-rocket]

I may be short but I’m not Wolverine short. I am 5 foot 9! That is average height! Wolverine is so tiny I don’t even believe he’s from Canada. Man’s Lilliputian.

[big-bad-wolvie]

What's a screenrant

[nova-human-rocket]

Oh it’s just a website that discusses Marvel comic books and the Distinguished Competition.

[big-bad-wolvie]

I hate it already.

[nova-human-rocket]

Maybe you just need to read a Marvel comic. Sgt Fury and His Howling Commandos was my favourite when I was a teen.

[big-bad-wolvie]

I read their Impossible Man one shot and some of the X-Men comics I'm not a big fan.

[nova-human-rocket]

I’ll admit, their Death of Captain Marvel comic is a bit in poor taste, but overall, they’re good.

[nova-human-rocket]

I may be short but I’m not Wolverine short. I am 5 foot 9! That is average height! Wolverine is so tiny I don’t even believe he’s from Canada. Man’s Lilliputian.

The comics are insane. I knew they made some stuff up but wow.

Are you gay for Wolverine though, Cyclops?

[scottsummers-xmen]

Feel like we’re ignoring the fact that his claws went through me.

[nova-human-rocket]

Feels like you’re ignoring my question

[nova-human-rocket]

Living sucks.

But y’know, at least I don’t have to pay taxes anymore. So living could always be worse.
