Interesting. This RPG is a spin-off of our latest big Darkseid event in the main DC RPG. Course, there are some minor changes, as well as the ending. I'm interested, just don't know who to take up...yet. 
EDIT: So I'm guessing the "Death List" has been created and added according to people's applications? As in, they stated that the original "so and so" died, and their mantle is now a legacy. Or something along those lines?

Another thing...I'd like to reserve Aquaman for this RPG. I came up with an idea I would like to do considering the "background story" for this RPG.
My application may take some time only because my access to the internet is limited because it's been messing up so much.

Damn, I was halfway through writing a Riddler application, only to discover he is dead...

You could make it a new Riddler.
Or, better yet, I can try and come up with a different villain to take his place. Riddler was a replacement thought for Harvey Dent, when I found out someone was going to use him. So it wouldn't be a big deal.

That'd be good, thanks.
My suggestion would be Black Mask. He recently died in real DC continuity, so killing him off would match things up with our continuity.

I was thinking The Scarecrow, but that sounds just as plausible. Roman hasn't really been a major part of Batman's rogues gallery until recently anyway, so I can't see many people wanting to try him out here. Plus, he's not taken in DC, UDC, or OU, whereas Scarecrow is.
I might do that. Thanks for the suggestion.

Screen Name: Keyser Soze
Character you would like to play: Edward Nygma
Powers: None
Origin (If not a new character, a recap of events leading to how your character got to what they are today):
For many years, Edward Nygma was known to the world as The Riddler. A low-level supervillain, who regularly found himself at odds with Batman. For all his genius, all his cunning, nobody really respected him. It was assumed that he'd never be anything more than a second-rate crook.
Then came The Crisis.
With the world in danger of extinction, something changed in Nygma. He turned his safehouses into refugee camps, and funnelled all his ill-gotten gains into the relief effort. He fought to save his city. Once the Crisis was averted, Nygma was recognised as a hero, making his reform official.
He became a private investigator, using his former ties with Gotham's criminal underworld, and his mastery of puzzles, for good, rather than crime. Tragedy struck on the night of Batman's death. A futile attempt to save his old adversary led to his leg being shattered by one of The Joker's death-traps. After some time in a wheelchair, Nygma was able to walk again with the aid of a cane, which he still uses to this day.
Now, 20 years later, Nygma is in his 50s, and the head of Riddler Investigations, one of the most profitable, reputable PI firms in America. He has become a very wealthy man, but this time all the money he has amassed is completely legitimate.
But Edward Nygma is now faced with a baffling new puzzle. The Batman has returned from the dead, it seems. He's an outlaw, more than ever, and the GCPD has contracted Nygma to help uncover The Batman's identity.
Personality:
Arrogant, obnoxious, and greedy, Edward Nygma is definitely not a people person. But unlike during his past career as The Riddler, now it seems like deep down, Nygma's heart is in the right place. Though he still loves the sound of his own voice...
Three reasons why you have chosen that character:
1) I'm continuing my whirlwind tour through Batman's rogues gallery.
2) I like the idea of a reformed Riddler, so am bringing it to RPG continuity.
3) He can be an interesting foil for The Batman.
Write two complete sentences using proper English grammar explaining what you plan to do with the character you've chosen (i.e. What are your goals? Will you be doing anything different with the character than is usually seen?):
I'll be playing Nygma as a good guy, albeit a morally ambiguous one. I'm going to set him against The Batman, but the dynamics are different this time round, as it's Nygma who's operating on the side of the law.
How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG:
Depends on how my story's moving.
Color and font you plan on using for your characters speech:
DarkGreen
Do you have an Instant Messenger? Which one, and what is your screen name?
MSN Messenger
How did you find out about this game, Recruitment thread/word of post/seeing the RPG OOC/IC thread?
Word of mouth.
Please provide a small sample post with original content in the style that you plan to write your character in (must be at least 3 paragraphs long and contain at least one line of dialogue):
The Batman was back.
Edward Nygma sat in his luxurious office in the central HQ of Riddler Investigations. The building had become something of a landmark, the question mark on the roof an unusual addition to Gotham's skyline. How unusual it was that, in this New Age, it was him who was considered a hero. Not a SUPERhero, no, not at all. But a celebrity of sorts, someone known as being a force for good. If Batman (the real one) were alive, Nygma was sure he'd be rolling his eyes.
But Batman was dead. This new Batman...he was surely an imposter. Or was that a fair way to put it? Perhaps the mantle of The Batman was about more than the man behind the mask. Perhaps it was an idea, a symbol. And now somebody had decided to carry on that dark legacy.
But who?
Who is The Batman?

So, do I get to have Aquaman reserved for me? I have the application almost finished. I just need to do the sample post now.

Since everyone else got to reserve characters, I don't see the problem.

Can you reserve Kyle Rayner for me?

No, but I'm sure one of the GMs can. I wouldn't take too long to get an app up though since I doubt they'd hold him for long.

If I put an app for Ravenger, I wouldn't be able to post as her for a little bit. Maybe August.

Charlie asked if the IC thread be held off until Friday, when he gets back from his trip.
Ultimately, it's your call though.
