Lights, Camera, Action! The Movie RPG [OOC]

[Matt Murdock]

how do you plan on incorporating the real world/matrix into our universe?

is there another matrix? because obviously machines are not in charge here.

We've discussed it and neo's abilities will transfer from his world to the new world, but he will be unable to "jack out." He will not, as Morpheus puts it, "be able to remake the matrix as he sees fit," because he won't be in the matrix.

He's, in essence, the closest thing to a super hero we've got.

I actually am wondering about this:
How was my doc brown when I diverged from the film?

I just want to get the character perfect.

Ahem...Power Ranger...

Also, I plan on having Indy battle some Nazi's...since the universe merge is seemless, is everyone on Earth just going to be used to the fact the there are Nazi's in the 21st century (and Indy is unaware that he went from 1930-40ish USA to 2007 USA)?

 

[Matt Murdock]

no, all the characters are aware of the fact that something has changed. They may not know what, but their surroundings will change around them and they will KNOW it.

Welcome back to the States Lord Doom.

Only super hero? Possibly the smartest being in the universe, who had died 9 times only to regenerate, sounds pretty super to me!

 

[Kaboom]

He-man!

I live in the UK, seen the whole season, so I have no idea which episode you're talking about. I'd go for cybermen if I were you

That's fine.

Ya know, spideyssuperfan, Neo wasn't the first person I had in mind. There was actually another character I wished to play as, but since you flattered me so, I went ahead and chose Neo. I don't want to give him up though. Oh well.

 

[Matt Murdock]

You know you can have two or three characters, right?

 

[Lord Doom]

Oh good! Thank you. I'll post his app in a little while, then. Maybe... I'll have to think about it. Will I have the time for TWO characters.....?

 

[Matt Murdock]

O' course you will, 'arry!

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:
Connor and Ramirez stood on the cliffs of Scottland, the sun setting behind them. Ramirez unsheathed his katana as Connor did the same with his Celtic longsword.

"Now. Come at me with a reverse-cross-parry."

Connor readied his sword, and did so. Ramirez blocked with his katana and the two stood in sword-lock.

"I am going to teach you how to counter this move, lad."

"Impossible. The reverse-cross-parry cannot be countered. It can only be blocked."

Ramirez shook his head in dissapointment.

"Have ye still not learned a thing, lad?"

Ramirez suddenly planted a boot in the ribs of a stunned Connor MacLeod, sending him stumbling backwards.

"Ha,ha,ha! You look like quite the jackass, MacLeod. Ye should pay more attention to yer training."

Connor smiled as he tried to catch his breath. Then he came at Ramirez with a low-sweep-frontal slash. Ramirez took a step to the side, pivoted 150 degrees on his left heel, and hit Connor in the small of his back with the hilt of his katana.

[Matt Murdock]

Highlander II exists.

 

[Kaboom]

Highlander II exists.

i know not of what youre talking about. the highlander movies go from I,III,IV, and V

 

[Matt Murdock]

I think you're being sardonic.

 

[JinnSato]

LORD DOOM YOU BASTARD!!!!
When did ya get back.
And hopefully I'll be able to post tonight.

 

[Lord Doom]

I think you're being sardonic.

Highlander II technically exists, but the storyline was SO aweful that it was taken out of continuity. In fact, when the DVD remake was made, they changed the storyline completely. Fans of Highlander don't even acknowledge the movies existence. I just put it up there for the sake of the RPG.

 

[Lord Doom]

LORD DOOM YOU BASTARD!!!!
When did ya get back.
And hopefully I'll be able to post tonight.

Got back one week ago. I'll see you at work Monday. I'm pulling a Hype all-nighter, BTW.

 

[JinnSato]

So am I gotta post on all my RP's than I'll be goin' to sleep.
