Ok ok. I got mixed up when you said AVA. AVA is the name of the act that was put into motion by President Luthor, but as far as the agency that is enforcing it? That was never established.

I for one, after talking to byrd, would like it to be Checkmate. He expressed the idea, and I saw eye-to-eye with him. Which works out very nicely, because the entire time I was thinking of stuff with Rick Flag III, I wanted to throw Checkmate into the mix. And if Checkmate is the agency enforcing AVA, then that would be great.

The way I saw it, it would be a U.N. organization like the comics, and with the rule of two. The way that works, is that for every meta-human in Checkmate, there must be a human in the royal family (hierarchy). So the meta-humans involved in Checkmate would obviously be registered ones.

The Question I believe first introduced this idea a while back, and it was discussed as far as who would be the royals...but it was never officially decided and implemented. How about we do so now?

I agree, I think the Checkmate soldiers should have a distopnian look to them ala 1984.

btw, Catman nice jobs with the micros, al though I'll be doing the Superman micro, good job though with the rest :up:
 
Okay, here's my new design for Vic Sage. Any comments are appreciated.

My re-designs for Supes, Batman and Joker, Joker and Batman were influenced from a alternative future story written by Morrison's JLA a while back, Supes also is meant to look young since he's been exposed to the rays for so long but has still aged.

Edit- Sorry for the quality.
 
Q had that one guy draw a picture of Joker though that he posted in the IC thread. So his hair would be different.
 
Just to note- I will be in Rome for a few days so I won't be able to post till then, I'll hand all GM duties to trusty till then since he's virtually healed this RPG.
 
Got my first Bronze Tiger post up. I will be bringing Checkmate into the RPG mythos with my next post, and as it was discussed months ago they will be the actual agency enforcing the AVA protocols.

As of now, soldiers such as Rick Flag III did not know they are working for Checkmate. Checkmate will be like the comics, a UN Organization (makes sense because the Darkseid attack destroyed cities around the world) and will have the Rule of Two where for every Meta-Human (registered, obviously) you have one Human to balance out in the royal family/hierarchy.

Also, MST3K 4ever, since you are playing President Luthor, I was hoping to get in contact with your via MSN/AIM (easier than PMing and waiting for replies back and forth) to discuss some things concerning AVA. Do you have an MSN/AIM by chance?
 
Been a crazy week, but I really will have a Dibny post up as soon as my ass hits the chair tomorrow.
 
Hey trusty, got your PM about this game. I'm in the process of reading through it, and I'll decide if I'm going to apply after I'm done.

Yeah, I think we should discuss who the "Kings" would be on Checkmate and part of Metahuman affairs, also in the roster I think it would be a good idea to have all the Checkmate agents listed in a different category (players of course) then the heroes and villains.

I like this idea. A pic of the Checkmate Hierarchy would be fun to make. I could even scan in some pics from the latest Checkmate title (which is
amazing, btw) for logos and such. :clown::up:

Sounds good. I really want to discuss and establish a few things, since we must embrace what makes this DC RPG different than the other two: AVA. What separates DC:NA from the other ones, is how we hook people in. Can't stress that enough. I look forward to our possible conversation later today.

I'm on...if you want to know my screen-name consult my profile.
 
Screen Name: superdude91

Character you would like to play:
Brian Wayne

Powers: super strength, flight, high intelligence

Hero/Villain:
hero

Identity (Public/Secret?): secret

Origin (If not a new character, a recap of events leading to how your character got to what they are today):
Brian Wayne is the undiscovered son of Bruce Wayne and Diana Prince. His conception was kept hidden from the world, including his father. He was born a few days before Batman met his untimely end. Stunned by the death of her love and fellow team member Diana took her son and retreated to her homeland.

The Amazon's watched as the world around them changed for the worse. They alone had escaped surveillance by making a deal with the President of America. It was here that Brian grew up. His mother rarely spoke of his father only knowing that he was always determined to stop crime. Brian was aware of his abilities since a young age however due to his mother's insistence he never used them. However he was allowed to train with his fellow Amazon's like other heroes had in the past.

When the news of Superman's return reached the island even his mother became inspired. Brian was even more inspired. He began to train harder each day preparing to leave the island, with or without his mother's consent. Brian had thought of names to go by and decided on Achilles after the great Greek warrior. On the night of his departure he was confronted by his mother. Knowing he was as stubborn as his father Diana approved of his quest and gave him two metal wrist bands. With one last look at his homeland Brian flew towards the states.

Personality:
Brian has a calm composure and is kind to most people he meets. Due to his heritage he can be withdrawn, dark, and sometimes analyzing.

Three reasons why you have chosen that character:

1)Being the son of Bruce and Diana has a lot of possibilities for development.

2)Reading about the other children of heroes in the RP got me thinking why would Batman and Wonder Woman?

3)With Wonder Woman gone, someone needs to take her role, (Even if its not a woman)

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?):
My plan is to create a new character that represents the characteristics of both, Bruce and Diana, yet remain their own character. Brian does not have the typical view of "justice", and i plan to incorporate that into his story.

How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG:
as much as i can or is needed

Color and font you plan on using for your characters speech:
dark blue, arial black for Achilles and century gothic for Brian.

Do you have an Instant Messenger? Which one, and what is your screen name? aim. RDF91

How did you find out about this game, Recruitment thread/word of post/seeing the RPG OOC/IC thread? seeing the RPG OOC

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):


Brian Wayne headed landed in a dark alley. He didn't want to take the risk of being seen, mainly due to the meta-human laws that have been in affect. His mother had given him a name, a reliable source, on what was happening in the world. Tim Drake. As a newspaper blew by with the wind, Brian saw an even more reliable source.

New Vigilantes:Batman and Robin

"Hopefully he's doing my dad proud" he said. Brian walked down the streets of Gotham City. This is definitely no paradise, he thought to himself. In the far distance he could hear the sounds of police sirens. Brian looked around him for any signs of life before putting on his mask and taking off into the air. He followed the sound of the sirens until finally he reached his destination. A bank robbery was in progress with hostages at risk. In other words, the cops were useless.

Brian flew downwards, deciding the best way to entire was through the roof. Crashing down bullets began to fly even before the dust was clear. On instinct Brian raised his metal covered wrist and deflected the shots safely. He slowly progressed towards the criminal who began to panic. As he tried to reload Brian landed a right punch to the side of his head, knocking the man unconscious.

"It's okay everyone, the threat is under control" Achilles said to the people as they began to relax.

"Freeze! You are in direct violation of the law"

"No the criminal is right here"
Achilles said picking up the robber and advancing towards the door.


"Take one more step and we open fire!"


"Crud".

Surprised no one tried to tap into the Wonder Woman mythos sooner.

EDIT: We talked about it, it's all good. Karem just would like you to PM Apprentice and talk things over since you are adding a new member to the "Bat Family".
 
Posting to make it more obvious the post was edited. Did quite a few edits in the past few minutes. :O
 
Okay. So you know, he is having computer or internet issuess...I forget which one. That said, it may take him a while to reply back to you.

Don't let it stop you from posting in the IC thread, though. Maybe you can do some posts of him still in Themysicara? The fact that he would be the one male among the Amazons would be entertaining to read. Lots of ideas can form from that alone. Maybe how he chooses his name or something? Training? I dunno. Just don't feel you cannot post til you talk to Apprentice. If you can avoid some Gotham related stuff or Bat-related stuff, you should be fine until you talk things over.
 
Wasn't there some talk a while back of making Beast Boy one of the kings?
 
Q came up with a few possibilities for the hierarchy a while back, but it was never finalized. Just throw up some lists of what you guys would want for the hierarchy, and we will agree on the outcomes. I'm already vocal enough and express my opinions...I want you guys to have fun with this. AVA and Checkmate should be what makes this RPG extra fun for you guys.
 
How is the hierachy of Checkmate layed out? I mean, how many pawns are there?
