The "DC: New Age" RPG Volume 1 Signup/OOC Thread

[Charlie No-One]

Yes.

 

[Byrd Man]

I can't help it. Damn...I must. I want to reserve Rose Wilson, AKA Ravenger. This RPG will be darker side of DC right?

Oh, we got a problem Syn. I planned on using Rose a little bit for my stuff with Robin, I'm guessing you can still play her. She's Jason's mammy.




DC: New Age Volume 1 Application

Screen Name: byrd_man
Character you would like to play: Jason Conner Drake/Robin

Powers: None, per say. But he's inherited his fair share of ability's from his parents. Skilled balance and a keen mind from Tim. chemically augmented strength, speed, stamina, agility and intelligence from his mother and grandfather. Like Slade, Jason uses more than the average of his brain's potential capacity. Jason is around 50 percent.

As far as gadgets, Jason uses all the gadgets that his "brother" John has. Jason also wields a broadswoard and his mask has a lens which has night vision, and thermal vision.


Origin (If not a new character, a recap of events leading to how your character got to what they are today):

Born a few years after John Gordon was born. Tim Drake and Rose Wilson gave birth to a gray haired son named Jason. For years, Jason and John lived as brothers oblvious to their parents true past and skills. After Deathstroke attacked John at school and Tim was forced to reveal his past to the boys, John left while Tim and rose secretly trained their son in every manner of combat they had known. To prepare him in case of any future attacks. Now at the tender age of 15, Jason seeks out his brother after hearing rumors of the Batman's return. Behind his parent's back, Jason offers a propsal to John....Batman always needs a Robin.


Personality: He's your typical teenager, big smartass and disobedient. While he has Tim's natural detective skills he also has Rose's firey temper and Slade's calculating eyes. He's also pretty quick on the draw, coming up with quips and puns in the heart of battle....I'm not saying their good, but he comes up with them.



Three reasons why you have chosen that character:

1) I came up with this idea back in Multiversers and I never go to go through with it.

2) I've always wanted to play as a Robin and now it's my Robin.

3) I know it sound funny, but I'd much rather be Robin than Batman anyday. Don't know why, guess I have a thing for sidekicks.

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 can bring an experienced RPer who's played the hype games for over a year now. I also have some beer if you're intrested.

How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: As many as needed

Color and font you plan on using for your characters speech: Bold, Red, and Tahoma.

How did you find out about this game, Recruitment thread/word of post/seeing the RPG OOC/IC thread? Seen it in the approval forum.

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 Clocktower

John quitely puts his gear on while I run a systems check on my mask's eye.

"What's with the eyepatch?"

I look up, John's behind me looking down at the mask. I smile as I tap the red lense.

"Family buisness. Family style. Besides, it's not a patch. But it looks like one."

He walks off while I strap my sword onto my back. Another thing dad or Uncle Dick never had, a big ass sword.

"You ready?"

I unseath the sword and spin it around a few times, before sliding it back into it's holster.

"You kidding? I been ready for fifteen years."

 

[Cyrusbales]

Approval thread

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):



"All these powers, and I couldn't even save her," I whispered as the Dean announced name after name of college of journalism graduates. It was a nice day, by all accounts. A perfect day for the graduation ceremony, where we cease being students and become people, ready to enter the world. My mom, Lois Lane Kent, would have been proud, carrying on the family tradition. But reporting was not the only tradtion I was meant for.

The other was bigger than me or my family. The symbol of Superman, the crest of the House of El. The kryptonian word for Hope. Since my dad left, it seemed alot of hope had been gone. And hope was something this world needed, even still after all these years--after the darkseid invasion. After super heroing became illegal in all its forms, and super villiany became something even worse. The world still needed a Superman. It needed my father, and if he wouldn't then maybe it needed me.

But was it my right to wear his suit? Grandma Martha seemed to think so. She never expressed dissappointment at dad's self imposed exile. But I could see it in her eyes.

She missed him. I missed him. I had searched everywhere for him. The fortress, What used to be Metropolis. China, Australia. Space.

But he was gone. Which mean there was only one person left to carry on my family tradition.

"Kent."

But was that person really me?

just dont want to be forgotten about.

 

[The Question]

Hey, are we allowed second characters?

 

[Batman]

You're not, don't worry. Charlie just wants Karem-Knight to personally oversee your application for acceptance, and I'm respecting his wishes.

 

[Batman]

Hey, are we allowed second characters?

I think the plan was to wait awhile this season before we did that. Y'know... get everything established first.

 

[The Question]

I think the plan was to wait awhile this season before we did that. Y'know... get everything established first.

Damn. 'Cuase I have a damn brilliant idea.

 

[Batman]

Damn. 'Cuase I have a damn brilliant idea.

Yeah. I too had a couple ideas for some characters.

 

[The Question]

Yeah. I too had a couple ideas for some characters.

But no. This one is goddamn brilliant.

 

[Byrd Man]

But no. This one is goddamn brilliant.

So says you.

 

[The Question]

So says you.

Do you doubt me?

 

[Batman]

PM me. I wanna hear this idea. I could vouch for it's brilliance.

 

[Byrd Man]

Do you doubt me?

Maybe, you do have a Ratbat avatar after all.

 

[Oh Snap!]

DC: New Age Volume 1 Application

Screen Name: Oh Snap!

Character you would like to play: Hal Jordan

Powers: None, he owns a broken power ring though (for all the good that would do him).

Origin (If not a new character, a recap of events leading to how your character got to what they are today):

20 years ago - GLC left hugely battered after D-Day, almost half of the rookie corps left dead. Senior Lanterns step up and take on more responsibility, Hal becomes 'leader' of active lanterns.

13 years ago - Sinestro, after manipulating and messing with John Stewart's mind sends him towards Earth, Jordan tries to deactivate Sinestro's mind control but fails, being forced to kill Stewart to stop him destroying the Earth.

12 years ago - After a few months of trying to continue as a Lantern, Hal permanently leaves the Green Lanterns; journeying round the universe trying to find 'inner peace' and over-come his guilt.

6 years ago - Returns back to Earth and begins living in Coast City again, takes his post back at Edwards Air Force Base and is promoted to the role of 'Colonel' in honour as his work as GL.

2 years ago - Dishonourably discharged from the Air Force.

Personality: Hal Jordan is almost the same as was 20 years ago, the only difference being that he's no longer blindly optimistic. He's still as cooly confident and a great leader, but far cynical than he once was. He also somehow cannot power his Lantern ring, which he was allowed to keep after his several years of hard work, considered the 'Greatest Lantern Of All Time'. He doesn't approve of all of the illegal vigilantes, but despises the fact that heroes are now considered just as bad as the criminals they attempt to catch. Hasn't been in touch with any other Justice League member for over a decade, before because of his commitments to the Corps but now out of shame.

Three reasons why you have chosen that character:

1) I'd like to explore what Hal Jordan thinks about the world how it is today, what he thinks about the government, what he thinks about the Lantern Corps. I'd like to see how he reacts to all these new heroes popping up and laying claim to titles that used to belong to his friends, to how the former and retired heroes have changed over the two decades and most importantly what Hal Jordan intends to do about it all.

2) I'm quite intrigued by the change in power, the contrast of Hal Jordan now as to how he once was. He used to be a God among men and wielded enough power to destroy worlds, but now he's just an average man. How does he deal with this? Does he miss being a Lantern? Why, if he's so against the Green Lantern Corps now, has he done nothing about it? He used to be famous, everybody in the universe would have heard about him twenty years ago, but now he's lucky if people look at him twice when he walks down the street. He's the hero that time forgot and he intends to come back with a bang, ya'hear?

3) I've got a kickass arc planned, it should go for other about a season or two (if this RPG works out) and should have most who read it on the edge of their seats. Meh... I also like the colour green.

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 intend to bring to this RPG a very well played and characterized arc, which should be pretty entertaining. I also want to show how time has changed him (which it has, quite a bit) and show just how harsh the DC Earth is for him at the moment.

How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: Once.

Color and font you plan on using for your characters speech: Hal Jordan

Do you have an Instant Messenger? Which one, and what is your screen name? Nope, I can get one if it'll help.

How did you find out about this game, Recruitment thread/word of post/seeing the RPG OOC/IC thread? Knew about the game before it was officially game, over at the approval thread.. because I'm that cool.

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):

"Come on JC, let's get going.."

Hal Jordan smiled at the large German Sheperd dog and patted it on his head, he had named it after his long departed friend; John Stewart. He opened the door to his apartment and the dog ran out quickly, Hal picked up his jacket (the same one he'd been wearing for decades, it looked battered and tatty.. but it didn't bother him, it meant something to him). He walked down the stairs, humming to himself and nodding at every single person who was standing in the lobbey; they all knew 'Old Man Jordan', he'd been here since before most of them were born.

As he stepped out of his apartment block he was barged to the floor, he looked up and saw a man wearing a balaclava and wielding an AK47, he jumped over him and kept running. A familiar glow from around the corner caught Hal's eye and he sighed loudly, a Green Lantern came whizzing around the corner and caught the man inside a huge green net. He walked over to Hal and offered him his hand, which Hal declined and got to his feet by himself. The Lantern looked at him with open eyes and gasped, taking a step back and looking gob-smacked.

"You're... You're... It's an honour to meet you sir, it real-"

"No, you shut the hell up before you say something you'll regret.. We don't want your help, don't you understand that? Now get the hell out of my sight"

The Lantern looked shocked and sighed, he wanted to speak back to him but respected who the man used to be too much to say anything. He started to glow green again and flew off into the air, with the criminal in tow. JC had been barking continuously throughtout the whole ordeal, but a single look from Hal silenced him quickly. He wiped down his jacket and sighed quietly, beginning to walk down the street, he stopped infront of a huge poster of 'President Luthor' and looked at it for a minute.

What had happened to this world? In twenty years, the entire planet had totally forgotten what it had once stood for; peace and justice. Now ruled by that fascist government, spear-headed by Luthor, all of their rights had been taken away. The Lanterns floated through the cities like they were god's, as if they were better than everybody else, but Hal knew they weren't. JC started to pee directly beneath the poster of a smiling Luthor, Hal patted him on the head and chuckled quietly.

"That's a good boy JC, you show 'im"

A large explosion made the floor rock beneath him, he looked up at the sky and there were several caped individuals fighting each other, he shook his head and sneered. There was a time he would be up there, he'd be kicking ass and taking names like the old days. Not anymore though, that wasn't who he was.. he hadn't been home in years, not his real home anyway. He hadn't flew in 6 years, he missed it.. he always forgot all of his troubles when he was in the air. He looked down at his ring, which was tied around his shoulders and smiled nostalgically.

"Me and you went through alot together, didn't we old fella'?"

There was still, much.. much more to come.

 

[Batman]

Nice. Approved.

 

[The Question]

Maybe, you do have a Ratbat avatar after all.

Take. That. Back.

 

[Johnny Blaze]

Yeah. I too had a couple ideas for some characters.

So do I.
I have ideas for another hero that you know of, as well as a certain dastardly villain if said hero gets taken.

 

[Johnny Blaze]

Also, is it cool if I ask that people leave Zoom alone?
I know it's a selfish, but I had major plans for the character that would be a huge arc for the Flash family.

 

[Oh Snap!]

Whoa, I only just realised.

Hal's dog, named after John Stewart, is called 'JC' instead of 'JS'.

That was obviously very intentional .

Keep you on your toes and all, you know.

 

[Byrd Man]

Whoa, I only just realised.

Hal's dog, named after John Stewart, is called 'JC' instead of 'JS'.

That was obviously very intentional .

Keep you on your toes and all, you know.

Why not name him Double G? I know all the stuff with John's death, but still.

 

[Oh Snap!]

Why not name him Double G? I know all the stuff with John's death, but still.

Hal couldn't stand the old mutt if everytime he looked at it, it reminded him of that ass Gardner .

I didn't even intend to have Hal have a pet, but now I think of it.. it'd be pretty cool I guess.

 

[Byrd Man]

Hell, The Drake's have a pet. A German Shepherd named Ace. Can't forget the Batdog.

 

[Johnny Blaze]

I think I'll introduce Streaky the Supercat.
