"From The Pages Of..." Comics Universe RPG: Season I Signup/OOC Thread

[wiegeabo]

I've got an idea for about half a dozen third characters that would be fun to play, and even fit nicely into what I'm doing with Chuck. But I don't want to just play with myself for so long.

Dammit. Dammit not again!

It's always fun playing with yourself....that is until you go blind.

Dammit. Dammit not again!

Another hooker, Cats?

 

[Catman_prb]

Amongst other things.

But I have the awful feeling that this will end with me picking up a new character. Damn it all. Any ideas, bastardos?

 

[Byrd Man]

Lemme think....

Rorschach
Nite Owl
Maxwell Smart
James Bond
G.I. Joe
Faceman
B.A. Baracus
H.M. Murdock
Big Daddy
Hit Girl
Red Mist

Or a villain. We need one of those.

 

[Carnage27]

I'm slowly forming a Fraternity-like secret society of super villains. You could play one of them. Maybe Hellboy would interest you? Rorschach would also be cool. I've used him quite a bit as an NPC and am kinda forming a New York based hero team.

Speaking of which, I'd love a run in with Kick Ass and the Turtles at some point, Byrd.

If I pick up Indy or even J, I'm sure we could figure some interaction out.

From The Pages Of... RPG APPLICATION

Screen Name: Optikal

Character you'd like to portray: Revolver Ocelot

Superhuman powers, traits, other attributes of interest: Revolver Ocelot is an expert with handguns and a sadist with a penchant for torture.

Originally appearing from (which comic, and company?): Metal Gear Solid. IDW Publishing

Fictional history of the character (as you're going to interpret it): Although inspired by the lore and legend of the American Old West, Revolver Ocelot is a product of the former Soviet Union. With the fall of the Russian empire, Revolver Ocelot left his police unit to join the KGB's special forces. This proved to be an uneasy fit, as Ocelot's independence and unique style of combat put him at odds with his superiors. Knowing he needed a change, Ocelot jumped at the chance to join Foxhound when it was offered to him.

Hero, Villain, or Walking the line?: Villain

List a few reasons why you chose this character: Ocelot is one of the coolest bad guys in recent history. A modern day Gunslinger, he'll fit in perfectly with the current line-up of characters within this RPG.

Write two complete sentences explaining what you can bring to this RPG: See previous app or any of the hundreds of posts I've made IC in the past two years

How many days a week you intend on posting in the RPG: As many as needed.

Please provide a small sample post as your character, at least three paragraphs and one line of dialogue in length:


The old man stepped into the lobby like he owned the place. It was 2a.m, well after business hours. The security guards sat at the front desk looked up from their desk and made to rise, but two rapid shots from a Colt Single Action Army revolver sent their corpses slumping back into their seats. Not missing a step, the old man reloaded the two empty chambers as he marched with purpose. Brilliant blue eyes scanned the surroundings, taking in every minute detail as he made his way deeper into the building.

Taking the elevator to the fourth floor, he strode down a long hallway, ignoring the rooms to either side and marching for a long door at the end. Unsurprisingly it was locked.

"Hmpf" he grunted, pushing into the door with his shoulder. With it failing to give, he drew a revolver once more and shot the lock free. The door swung open to reveal rows upon rows of filing cabinets. The old man knew exactly where to look though and headed straight for his prize. Producing a key from inside the long leather duster jacket he was wearing, he slid it into cabinet 14F and began rifling through the files and folders within.

Gloved fingers came to rest on a manilla folder and slipped it out of its filing place, holding it up to faint moonlight streaming through the single window in the room.

-PROJECT: ROBOCOP-

With a half smile, he pocketed the folder and made for the exit. Greeting him in the hall, stood seven heavily armed men.

With their guns levelled, the ringleader stepped forward. "Alright Mister. I don't know who you are, but you've just broken into the wrong building! OCP doesn't take too kindly to thieves!"

The old man smiled and nodded. "Now boys, I'm in a pretty a good mood so I'll give you one chance to walk away with your lives".

The leader of the guards snorted a laugh and stepped forward. "Yeah, one geriatric thief against the seven of us. What're you going to do, gum us to dea-"

BLAM!

The guard fell dead as the bullet smashed through his eye and into his brain beyond.

BLAM!
BLAM!
BLAM!
BLAM!
BLAM!

Before he hit the ground, five of his comrades were also dead. The last guard, a young man with the faintest hint of beard stubble took an involuntary step backwards.

"That's why they call me Revolver" the old man stated flatly, calmly reloading his weapon.

The young man, despite having a live weapon in his hands and a full suit of body armour, just stood stock still. All he had seen was the swish of the old mans duster before the brief flash of bloody efficient violence was played out in front of his eyes. "Please don't kill me..." He asked, his voice quivering as he backed off.

The old gunslinger stepped forward, his spurs clacking on the marble floor. "You left me no choice". his voice was cold and efficient. As deadly as his aim was was true.

The young mans bladder emptied just seconds before the bullet left a small crimson hole in the center of his forehead. Revolver Ocelot didn't look back as he replaced his weapon in his holster and stepped over the bodies.

....

Now I want the A-Team to go to Shadow Moses...

 

[Optikal]

LOL! They can't be in Jamaica, the Middle East AND Shadow Moses all at the same time!

Adamska isn't there anyways. He's busy plotting an oh-so evil scheme I'm sure ole Hannibal and the boys would love to foil

 

[Byrd Man]

LOL! They can't be in Jamaica, the Middle East AND Shadow Moses all at the same time!

Then clearly, sir, you don't know **** about the A-Team.

 

[Carnage27]

I've actually got a Shadow Moses storyline having to do with The Ring, but no one has picked up a MGS character since I came up with it.



Anyway...

Screen Name: Carnage27

Character you'd like to portray: LAPD Officer James Darrell Edwards III, soon to be Agent J of the BPRD, MIB division

Superhuman powers, traits, other attributes of interest: J has no superhuman abilities, but is an excellent shot with firearms, and is also in incredible shape and an impeccable police officer. He prides himself on never losing a perp in a chase, and always puts the bad guys behind bars.

When J becomes assimilated into the MIB, he will be given all the resources of Earth’s alien protection agency.

Originally appearing from (which comic, and company?): The Men in Black, Aircel Comics

Fictional history of the character (as you're going to interpret it): James was raised in a police household, just as his father was. He never wanted anything in life besides being a police officer, and when he came of age he enrolled in the academy. He graduated with flying colors, and became an undercover officer in Los Angeles. James is a career man, and his life has been consumed by police work, especially after the passing of his mother and father. James now focuses only on work, and has a very limited social life.

As for the MIB, in this game they will be the extraterrestrial research and defense branch of the BPRD. They’ll also be closer to the movie representation of the MIB, rather than the darker, more sinister comic version.

Hero, Villain, or Walking the line?: Hero

List a few reasons why you chose this character: With all the possible intergalactic threats in this universe, I want to bring a gateway for them to show up. And I’ve got a pretty cool arc to introduce one.

Write two complete sentences explaining what you can bring to this RPG: A player dedicated to this game. Also, I’ve got an interesting arc planned.

How many days a week you intend on posting in the RPG: As many as needed.

Please provide a small sample post as your character, at least three paragraphs and one line of dialogue in length:

“FREEZE!” I scream at the man running from me. I’ve been tracking him for months now, under the suspicion that he’s a runner for a gun smuggler bringing illegal firearms into LA. I hop over a fence that he springs over like it was a two foot hurdle. The guy must be flying high as a kite. He hasn’t tired, and I’ve been chasing him for almost four blocks.

He ducks into an unfinished apartment building, and I follow, chasing him up ten flights of stairs to the building’s roof. He pulls a weapon from underneath his coat, and I fire off a shot from my pistol, catching him in the shoulder, forcing him to drop the weapon, which smashes on the rooftop and disintegrating.

“What the hell was that man!? What the hell was that weapon!?” I yell at him, and then notice the blood that is dripping from his arm is a bright green color. “What is wrong with you?”

“Kill me,” he wheezes. “It’d be better now than wait for what’s coming to this planet.”

“What do you mean? You’ve been moving these weapons into the city, haven’t you?” I say, my gun still trained on him.

“Yes, but not for the reasons you think. It’s for the poor shmucks who can’t afford to get off this rock. It’s for the defense of every living being on Earth. Living death is on your door step and you humans aren’t ready for it,” he says smiling cruelly. And then something happens that freaks me out even more than the disintegrating gun. The guy blinks twice. Once like a normal person, and once like…nothing I’ve ever seen before.

“What-NO!” I scream as he turns and throws himself off the roof, landing with a splat on the ground below. “Damn…”

[wiegeabo]

Well, you have the "Damn". Now all you need is the "Oh, hell naw" then you'll have the character down.

In fact, you'll pretty much have every Will Smith character down.

 

[Carnage27]

I was literally trying to fit "Oh, hell naw" in, but I decided to save it for a later date.

 

[Byrd Man]

Don't forget about the "psssh, naaah" moment he does in his movies.

Smart. Don't want to blow the whole load at once.

 

[Optikal]

I love Will Smith.

Carnage, if what you have/had planned will effect Ocelot or vice versa, hit me up. I know we spoke briefly before, but I can't remember your plans.

 

[Carnage27]

Carnage, if what you have/had planned will effect Ocelot or vice versa, hit me up. I know we spoke briefly before, but I can't remember your plans.

You're good. If it comes to Shadow Moses actually happening, It'll involve probably most of the players, so I'd fill everyone in then.

 

[Carnage27]

Short Leo/the Turtles' Team post up. I'm working on a V post. I haven't forgotten about him.

[Carnage27]

So is the BPRD common knowledge? Or is it a secret government division?

 

[Byrd Man]

When SF established Hellboy, he went off the comics version of the BPRD. So, they're a know organization and Hellboy is publicly know.

Okay, cool.

 

[The Manly Torch]

Holy crap, I only just now saw this... Amazingly wow. Is there really only one villain? How many Ninja Turtles are there? I wanna be a Ninja Turtle, but if there's only one villain, then I should be a villain... but who?

Again, with bravado... Holy freakin' crap.

 

[Carnage27]

I'm the only player controlled Turtle as of now. But I've got a pretty rigid storyline I'm pretty deep into right now, so you'd probably be stuck doing that.

A villain would be awesome, if for no other reason than we only have one.

 

[Carnage27]

I realized that my last post makes it seem like I don't want you to play a Turtle. That's not the case. I'd love for another PC one. Let me know if you're interested in Raph, Don, or Mikey and I'll fill you in with the story I'm doing right now.

And if you're also interested in a villain, why not just pick up 2 characters?
