One Universe RPG: Season IV OOC Thread

[Carnage27]

That's fine. We can bring the OOC thread up any time.

Alright. Sounds good then.

 

[Carnage27]

I'm dropping Black Adam. I just don't have the desire to finish my story with him.

 

[Catman_prb]

So am I going to have to NPC him ripping Luthor a new *******?

So am I going to have to NPC him ripping Luthor a new *******?

Eh, I guess I can keep him for a little longer. I just realized I don't really have a huge plan other than being a dick to Luthor, haha.

 

[wiegeabo]

That's a worthy goal

Okay, for all that haven't read the Soapbox thread in Approval/General Discussion, there's talk of ending(and then probably restarting) the big 3 RPGs as well as cleaning up the sections to get rid of struggling games in an overall strategy to reinvigorate the RPG section of Super Hero Hype.

I figured I'd start the discussion to decide whether or not we think it's a good idea here, and so that we can decide this early and give people time to set-up a final arc for characters. I know we've got a few more weeks here, but I think this should be decided before the end of the season.

Personally, I think it's a great idea. We've had a long run here, and the game deserves a nice send off. The posting has gone down recently, but the prospect of a farewell season has the possibility of bringing back old posters and some new posters as well. It also gives an opportunity for a fresh start. I'd love to be on the ground level for a new version of this game, which I would love to see incorporate Independent characters.

Well, I've said my peace, I'd love to hear what everyone has to say.

 

[Catman_prb]

I'd be up for the end of the OU next season. Would be nice to give the old girl one last hurrah.

 

[Carnage27]

And I think if we do decide that it is the last season, we should all get together and decide upon a final confrontational arc to send her out with.

 

[Catman_prb]

Yeah. We could continue the Registration Arc, or we could have a good old classic alien invasion.

 

[Byrd Man]

I think I could come up with a good ending with Gordon if need be, so I say let's go for it.

 

[Carnage27]

Yeah. We could continue the Registration Arc, or we could have a good old classic alien invasion.

That was my idea.

Skrulls, Apocalypse, and the Phoenix Force.

 

[Eddie Brock]

I support the idea. RPGs tend to get cluttered with continuity after a certain time, especially when you're talking about two universes' worth of characters. Also, my plans for Superman next Season translate well to a "last Season" mentality.

 

[Carnage27]

Yea, I'm just going to drop Adam like I planned. I've got too many characters on my plate across the RPGs, and I'm trying to trim my numbers down.

​

Wolverine crouched in the snow and raised his face to the bitter wind that was blowing around him. He growled as the unmistakable stench of his nemesis filled his nostrils and he began to run, letting the smell guide him. It was the same every year; Sabretooth would come to him, taunting him and leading him somewhere so they could fight. It was their yearly ritual and seemed to be Sabretooth's birthday 'present' to Logan. Logan was just thankful that Creed wasn't actually killing anyone this time; Silverfox's 'death' had been enough of a horrific birthday present for him. He was grateful that physical scars were the most he got from their fights, he had enough mental ones to last him a lifetime.

He cleared one of the snow covered hills and stopped, staring down at the monster that was waiting for him. Sabretooth was waiting, crouched and smirking. Logan hissed in anger, Sabretooth always did enjoy his discomfort.

"Took you long enough, thought I gonna actually freeze waitin' for you."

Sarcastic mother...Logan didn't get a chance to finish his thoughts as Sabretooth leapt at him, roaring. Logan stumbled backwards and slipped in the snow with Sabretooth on top of him, clawing at his face.

"I want to see your eyes when you DIE!"

Logan brought his knee up between Sabretooths legs and pushed the man off of him and above his head. Logan's claws popped out and he slammed one of his fists into Sabretooth's shoulder, feeling some grim satisfaction at the lack of resistance his adamantium met as it cut through skin and bone.

"Come on Creed, How many times have you tried this an' how many times have i kicked your teeth down your throat?!"

Sabretooth slashed at Logan's leg and ripped away his hamstring muscle. Creed leapt on top of the Canadian and for a while the two wrestled in the snow, neither gaining dominance over the tussle. Punches and kick's flew though the air, claws troe at flesh and Logan was right in his prediction as each claw swipe that Sabretooth gave him healed up into a nice scar for his ever-growing collection. Logan grabbed the back of Sabretooth's head long enough to headbutt him and crawl out from beneath the larger man. When he had finally gotten to his feet he kicked Sabretooth in the ribs and sent him flying through the snow.

"COME ON VICTOR! I'M RIGHT HERE! COME AND GET ME YOU SON OF A B*TCH!"

Logan watched Sabretooth rise to his knees and began marching towards his adversary, claws dripping with claret intensity. Sabretooth dusted the snow off of him and looked at Logan with eyes mixed with hatred and something else Logan couldn't put his finger on and didn't really want to. Creed smiled sinisterly and licked his lips.

"All talk as ever. I'm gonna rip your chest open and eat your damn heart, runt."

Sabretooth leapt at the smaller man, a feral roar erupting through the snow covered all around them. Wolverine rolled with it, throwing both claws into Creeds chest and rolling through to perch on top of him. Creed grabbed his throat and threw him off before leaping to his feet and advancing on the fallen X-Man. A boot smashed into Logans face three times, crushing an eye socket and partially blinding him. With a ferocious roar, Wolverine slammed his left fist in a jarring uppercut that caught Sabretooth directly in the crotch. Wolverine snarled and twisted as a devastating scream erupted from Sabretooths throat.

"Try healing those up, bub"

Sabretooth screamed and hurled obscenities as he felt the pain of his flesh and muscles knitting back together in such a sensitive part of his body. Logan stood; ready to give the killing blow only to be caught by a punch in the chin which caused him to stagger back. Sabretooth leapt out of Logan's range and smiled, still holding his wounded crotch.

"See you next year."

With that he turned heel and ran, knowing he had done all the damage he needed to do to Logan's mind. Logan went to give chase but his ruined eye and partially crushed skull forced him to stagger into a nearby tree. He wiped his mouth and stared back towards the town he had just left. Standing straight, he staggered back towards it, dreading his birthday next year.


Do you know how to post pictures on the hype boards?:

​

 

[Byrd Man]

Sweet. You're APPROVED!

You need a little more backstory with Wolverine. Hmm. Wiegao can fill you in on the basics of the character. I believe he was that last one to play him.

Welcome aboard. Glad to have some fresh blood.

 

[Excalibur]

Thanks Byrd Man. I'd definitely be grateful for more backstory than the stuff I read up on before I applied. Should I send a PM to the last handler?

 

[Byrd Man]

Sure. Also you might want to get with Eddie Brock and Carnage 27. They're playing Cyclops and Nightcrawler, respectively. They're in the middle of an arc with the X-Men.

 

[Byrd Man]

Also, since I'm curious and you seem like a good writer, where'd you find out about the RPGs? The only reason I ask is because we've been trying to recruit new members lately and a few of us have went on RPG ad sites promoting the hype.

 

[wiegeabo]

Wolverine helped fight off Darkseid's invasion in season one with the help of the newly formed Justice League.

In season 2 and 3, he took on the persona of Darkclaw, and patrolled Gotham as the new Batman while Bruce went undercover to expose an underground mutant slave ring. Oh yeah, he knows Bruce and Dick are Batman and Robin.


That's the key stuff that I can remember. His history is still as much a mystery as it used to be in the comics. Just with some DC flavor thrown in. Fighting with Cap and the Justice Society in WWII. Living in Japan. Weapon X. Mutual hatred with Sabretooth.

Actually, his history has remained rather mysterious, with the exception of plenty of fights with Creed. He's an X-Man and one of the teachers at the mansion, although he's been away for a while (since no one played him).

there's probably minor things, like his time with the X-Men, that I'm forgetting.

 

[Carnage27]

Holy crap! A newbie! And an X-Man! Woohoo!

Oh, I'll get back to your PM, as well, Excalibur.
