Application: The Movie RPG

[Obi-John-Kenobi]

Batman is available for play in other rpgs. There are no rpgs where you can play as The Crow, as far as I know. That's why it's fine.

As long as it's okay with you.

 

[Matt Murdock]

'Tis.

 

[Johnny Blaze]

So, Hellboy would be available then?

 

[Matt Murdock]

He is.

 

[Matt Murdock]

I hesitate to allow people to play as Spider-Man, Superman, and Batman because they can be played in other games.

I have no problem with people playing as comic-to-movie characters if this is their only outlet to play as the character.

 

[Matt Murdock]

The narrator for the story will be a writer of films. I won't tell who just yet, but Venom160 and I are collaborating on the introductory post right now. When it's ready I'll post it.

 

[Ash J. Williams]

All right, sounds good.

 

[Batman]

I'd like to reserve Michael Myers (The Shape), aswell.

 

[Matt Murdock]

Consider it done, MB.

Brief history of the character in their films up to the start of the RPG:
Eric Draven was a rock guitarist who lived in an apartment in Detroit along with his fiancee, Shelley Webster. On "Devil's Night" a group of thugs broke into Eric's home and forced him to watch as they beat and raped Shelley, before shooting them both (which killed Shelley). At the hospital, doctors struggled to keep Eric alive, but a crow appeared in Eric's hospital bed and convinced Eric to give up his life. One year later, Eric is resurrected and is know seeking vengeance on the ones responsible for the death of the woman he loved.
Please write, in character, a two-paragraph (No more, no less) sample post. Please ensure that your post is in character, contains dialogue, and conforms to standard guidelines of the English language:
Eric stared down at the dark, dreary streets of Detroit, perched atop the roof of his old apartment. The crow responsible for bringing Eric back to life, flew over to him and perched atop his left shoulder.

"Did you find any leads?"

The crow squaked once.

"Where?"

The crow squaked once more, then again but more loudly than before.

"Good. Let's go say 'hello' to our old friends."

The crow squaked one last time as Eric leaped down the building. He hit a scafolding, leaped off of it, and landed on a fire escape. He got a running start, then jumped towards the roof-top of a lower building. He ran along its roof and leaped off the side of it. He then landed on top of a dumpster in an alley where he saw his prey.

I believe there was more than one Crow movie.

Yes, but there was a different "Crow" in each film. The Crow I'm playing is from the first film.

 

[Matt Murdock]

for those of you who haven't, please vote in the poll. It sort of determines the way the rpg goes.

Yeah, only me and four other people have voted. We obviously need more votes.

The warehouse sits quietly, nestled in the glamor and glitz of the Hollywood Hills. A worn-down, rusted, chain-link fence lined with barbed wire is all that separates the modern world from the priceless contents of the old, wooden building.

Within the warehouse's walls lie hundreds of reels of motion picture film and dozens of film props. Sealed in crates, these films have lain silent... unused for years.

Picture if you will an ordinary warehouse situated in the premier real estate of Hollywood. Uninteresting to say the least. Yet, within the walls of this warehouse are reels of film that have entertained people for ages. My name is ***CENSORED***. I am a writer of one of these films, ***CENSORED*** I also told other stories. Stories that terrify even to this day. Tales that told of a ***CENSORED***, one rooted in the pinnacle of man's imagination. However, let me assure you, dear viewer, that the story that is occurring right now in the walls of this warehouse is anything but fiction. It exists in our own four dimensions, and can only be explained by the freak events of a seemingly ordinary night. I warn you, reader, if you are to venture into this warehouse, then you ought to be prepared for all that you will see, for behind its doors is no ***CENSORED*** simply the strange events that happen every so often in human history.

The security guard paid to watch over the warehouse sleeps silently in his booth outside of the warehouse. The television next to his feet, raised high on his desk, flickers on and off, as the signal from the antenna waivers.

A worn down, 1980's pickup truck pulls into the pathway next to the security checkpoint. The front, right wheel rolls into a puddle as rain rhythmically falls on the windshield. The two men in the front seat of the truck sit, smoking cigarettes, contemplating their actions.

"Ready?" Says the man in the driver's seat.

"Ready." His companion mutters.

A portrait of two men. Species: 21st century human. Their names are unimportant, however for the purposes of this tale they will be called "Rob" and "Matt." These two men, like all men of their day and age, are seeking for wealth. Not wealth of life, love, or spirit; but, rather, wealth in the economic sense. Yet, despite their best intentions, their actions of this evening will precipitate an unexplainable series of events that will affect both the films inside the warehouse, and the world outside of it.

The men slide ski-masks over their faces. The man in the driver's seat rolls down his window and, with a flick of his fingers, sends his cigarette onto the rain-covered pavement. He heaves a revolver out of his jacket pocket and opens the door of the pickup.

As he gets out of the truck, the rain pitter-patters on his head.

He glances left and right as he approaches the door to the security checkpoint. With a well placed strike of his elbow, the glass in the door slides off of the glue holding it in place. The man jams his hand into the sarcophagal chamber. He pats the backside of the door with his hand and feels the door handle. He opens the door and slips inside the small room with the security guard. Gripping the pistol in his hand tightly, he delivers a sharp blow with the butt of the gun to the back of the security guard's head.

...Still not done.

 

[JinnSato]

I voted. =]]

I can't wait to kick some ass a Harry and start scheming some crazy plot twist with Jack.

 

[Spider-Man9X17]

Just a quick question, what's the holdup with the approval?

 

[Charlie No-One]

Twy needs more GM's and you need to add more to the story.

Okay, do we have a finalized AGM list?

and what exactly is the RPG Premise/Backstory? I backlogged the thread but I didn't see a set background for it.

 

[Byrd Man]

and

DAMMIT! When I think I'm out, you pull be back in....I call Venkman.....son of a *****.

 

[Matt Murdock]
