One Universe: DC/Marvel RPG Application

[Harlekin]

But somebody could've still picked up Hal after that.

 

[Carnage27]

So... will there be an OOC thread up soonish? I actually have my app done, as well as a long rambling "brief" history and sample post (which may be split up into two or more posts).

I wasn't planning on getting an OOC up until next week. But if people are chomping at the bit as I am (I know I have my apps done), I could put it up this weekend.

Also, Carny, did you get my MSN invite? I still need to yell at you for taking Animal Man from me in the new DC game.

Yes, I got it. But I'm at work. It's slow, which is why I've been active, but I don't have MSN here.

Actually, I'm cool with all the interesting changes, as long as they make sense both in universe and in character. If hypothetical future players can't work around that, sucks for them.

Look at the last game, twylight and my relationship as Black Canary and Iron Man wasn't anything that either of us planned. The previous Iron Man player set up Dinah as Tony's fiancé, and we had to run with it. It's one of my favorite RPG memories, and if I recall, most people liked what we did with it.

I remember that. I tried to play homewrecker with Ollie.

Yeah, so what's your problem? Part of the game is rolling with the punches. Even if the response to Hal being a Herald is: "Hal loses the Power Cosmic somehow and is now a GL again" a halfway competent player can bring things back to square one fairly easily.

 

[Harlekin]

Honestly, if we can't do balls to the wall bat **** insane stuff in this RPG, where can we?

I don't have a problem at all.

 

[SuperFerret]

What that guy said.

I was talking to Byrd.

I just think folks were intimidated by it. Anytime I told anyone what the deal was they were like "No thanks."

 

[SuperFerret]

Their loss.

 

[Harlekin]

*****es.

The sooner the OOC thread is up, the better.

I don't have a problem with things like that happening as long as they're organic and the player has the dedication to follow through with it.

The problem I have is negating everything that Hal Jordan is by giving Sur's ring to Doom right off the bat. I don't have a problem with Doom getting a ring. A huge part of Hal's story is having the ring of the great Abin Sur choosing him as the first human Lantern and having the other Lanterns dealing with that fact.

 

[wiegeabo]

It was a neat idea that never went ANYWHERE. Hal just disappeared because the fight with Galactus was over and whoever was playing Hal at the time dropped him.

It was Johnny Blaze.

Hal didn't just disappear. JB did.

 

[SuperFerret]

"Here. This ring chose you Hal. It was once Abin Sur's ring, and he was one of the greatest of us. The last guy who held this ring was a disgrace. I hope you do better. We'll be watching."

 

[Carnage27]

Okay. I had forgotten, but yea, now that makes sense. Because he was also playing Silver Surfer.

 

[SuperFerret]

I worry about JB. He was a cool guy.

 

[Carnage27]

I worry about JB. He was a cool guy.

I do too. Especially since no one heard a peep from him when he left.

Meh

Come on. It takes a while to travel from planet to planet on an interstellar orgy.

Okay, moving away from the whole continuity/story talk for a second...

Is everyone ready for the OOC thread? Or no? So far SF and IKB say they're ready. I know I'm ready, and from the sound of things Byrd, MB, and Supergirl are ready.

What about the rest of you?

 

[SuperFerret]

I'm ready like Freddie.

 

[trustyside-kick]

I just think folks were intimidated by it. Anytime I told anyone what the deal was they were like "No thanks."

I didn't even know about that. Surprised no one told me. I fixed 2 other OU characters when the poster went AWOL. That would have been an easy fix in 1 arc for me. Not saying I have true interest in it. But that is a 1 arc fix.

Since it seems like things are going back and forth to how you guys are tweaking parts of character...I guess I will wait to see what you do in your applications to judge. To me, everything is 100% more accessible if the characters past aren't altered, just the present. Hence why I could back up Franklin's Doom idea, but not the idea of making a meta a mutant from birth.

 

[SuperFerret]

A meta is basically a mutant though. Why not assume if they don't have an origin other than "I've got these powers because I was born special", they're mutants?
