THE NEW ULTIMATE DC RPG
Character Application
.Character you wish to portray: Victor "Vic" Stone, soon to be Cyborg
.Hero, villain, or walking the line?: Hero
.Powers and physical attributes: At this point in time, Vic has no superhuman abilities. However, he is the star freshman running back for Metropolis University. He is also an incredibly smart young man, perusing a mechanical engineering degree at school.
However, before long, Vic will be put through tragedy, and then be part of a secret procedure that will give him incredible powers. As Cyborg, Victor will have super strength, endurance, agility, and speed. His blood will also be infused with nano-bots which will aid his healing. He will gain all of this, along with cybernetic implants bonded to his body, underneath his skin. These will allow Cyborg to scan for enemies, interface with computers, and will allow him to attach various weapons to his body.
.Origin and backstory (as you see it): Victor Stone was born to two loving parents and was raised in the suburbs of Metropolis. From an early age, Vic showed signs of incredible athletic talent, as well as an incredible intellect. He took to football when young, and blossomed into a star when he reached high school.
But even as his popularity rose and college scouts began coming to his games, Vic's ego never inflated. People from his community always praised the young man's work ethic and morals. He was a jock who stood up for the little guy in the school, and was the first to make people laugh.
During his senior season, Stone committed to playing for his hometown team, Metropolis University. Once there, he met Linda Danvers, and the two developed a friendship, though both seemingly wanted more out of the relationship.
We find Vic now about to start his first college football game. But the fans in the stadium and on TV won't be the only ones watching. A shadowy organization has had their eyes on Victor for a while now, and may be ready to make their move.
.The burning question - Why this character?: Cyborg is a staple of the DC Universe, even if he isn't one of the company's headliners. He was introduced by EBJ as a supporting character for Supergirl, and I figure it's about time that he's introduced as the hero he's destined to be. I've got a pretty good idea on what direction I'd like to take him.
Also, since he's already had contact and is friends with Supergirl, I wouldn't mind sowing the seeds for The Titans, or possibly join the League, depending on the way the game goes.
.How will this version of your character differ from others? How will it be Ultimate?: First of all, Cyborg's implants/additions won't be visible, and to the normal world he'll look like a normal person. Secondly, Vic will have no idea where his powers/implants come from, and the mystery of his origin will continue on for the foreseeable future.
He will become a dead man reincarnated, and will tend to stay away from human contact, preferring a life of isolation due to him viewing himself as a "freak".
.What do you believe you can bring to the RPG?: A classic DC hero to fold into our Ultimate Universe. And now that I have a new and functioning computer I will be a dedicated player.
.Provide a short sample post as your desired character, in three paragraphs or more:
"You ready?" Mike McDaniels asks as the team crams into the tunnel that leads to the field. Mike is a senior, and a second-team All American from last year. "Because we're gonna need you tonight. Gotham has one hell of a defense."
I nod to him, even though I'm not exactly sure I believe it. Sure, I've played in front of some big crowds before, and I know I'm one hell of a player. But this is big time college football. It actually matters now. And the team is looking at me to carry the load this year.
Before I know it, my teammates in front of me explode out of the tunnel, and I break into a sprint to follow. I emerge into the cheers and screams of our hometown crowd, and the adrenaline immediately kick in.
Oh yea. I'm ready for this.
