The New Ultimate DC RPG - Season II: Sign-Up/OOC Thread

[Byrd Man]

What a coincidence, we're aggravated at you too.

 

[Spike_x1]

I'm just aggravated in general, without knowing WTF we're talking about.

 

[Byrd Man]

Welcome to my world.

[Byrd Man]

If only Bane would **** up and get caught. I'd make you my ***** on the Suicide Squad

 

[Spike_x1]

B**ch, please.

I had a few questions...

I have a great idea for a interesting slant on Harvey Dent. I don't want to try two characters so near to the end of the season. If my plan is to introduce Harvey Dent at the start of season three do I still post the application here.

Also when it comes to NPCs that are DC characters that nobody is using do I have to clear it with you guys first. I thought it would be cool if Skinner Sweet had a flashback that shows he knew Cassidy (from Preacher).

Well, Harvey Dent's been established and played through out the first two seasons. He's got some character history, but not enough to be too large.

We usually use our best judgement when we do NPC people. Like I'm doing the Suicide Squad. I use C and B list villains to be part of the Squad, people who really don't have an arch-nemesis. Just think about how big the character is and think about if there's ever a chance someone will pick them up. Now the odds of someone coming in here and posting a Count Vertigo app are slim, but Joker or Sinestro? There's a better chance.

Also, go ahead and use Preacher. The characters in UDC are kind of amalgamated with Vertigo characters. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen existed back in the late 19th century, and Watchman characters have been shown and used.

Well I might have to table my idea for Harvey because its a fairly different take. I wanted to explore what would happen if he had more developed split personalities. In the comic he is almost always a bad guy who on occasion does good things because the coin tells him. I thought it would be cool if he tried to live a good life as Harvey Dent as well.

Either way I want to play someone involved in the Batman world for my second character. I love Batman and want to be involved. Any character that has not been played that you would love to introduce.

 

[Byrd Man]

It's getting down to the bottom of the barrel. Going into season three, pretty much every Gotham charecter has been featured or established in some way. Only a fraction of them have actually been played though. Word of advice: don't ask us who to play, play who you wanna play. More often than not, folks who try to fill a needed role quickly lose interest.

 

[Aleksei]

oh I know. I would never taken like Madhatter just so I can be a Batman villain. I just am a fanboy when it comes to the Dark Knight. I will have to think about what characters have not been used yet to figure out my second character for season three.

I think I will seek out another cool vertigo character to bring on board or someone from another forgotten corner of the DC universe.

 

[Byrd Man]

Like I said, they've been established but not use. There's a lot of fertile ground for you to till if you so choose. You can work with the original concept and start your progression into telling a story you'd like to tell. I've done that with Edward Nygma and Question over the past two seasons, both of them established by other posters.

 

[fzzyslpprs]

Since my character is based in D.C. and he's kind of involved in politics. Any important things I should know about political figures established in this universe? Mayors, Governors, Senators, etc.

 

[Spike_x1]

It just occurs to me that I don't recall microheroes this season. Isn't that s**t supposed to be, like, an RPG tradition or something?

 

[Byrd Man]

MICROHEROES, DAMMIT!

GIVE ME MICROHEROES, OR GIVE ME DEATH!!!!

What's that? You're all out of Microheroes?

Well...uhh, this is awkward. I'll...I'll go ahead and see myself out.

 

[Spike_x1]

Waitwaitwait, you don't want any death? We still have plenty of those to go around.

 

[Byrd Man]

All things considered, I'd go with cake.

 

[Spike_x1]

If I were any good at crafting microheroes, I'd make one of Ult. Bane holding out a cake.

 

[Byrd Man]

By the by, MB and I were talking the other week and we think we're going to try and do another season ending montage post. So, ya'll just keep that in mind as you wrap up this season and prepare for the next one.

 

[Batman]

Syn, bro, I hate to do this to you because I know you're legitimately busy with real life, not to mention that a Hood/Batman confrontation was sorely needed before the events to come. But this arc has got to move so that the other Justice Leaguers can bring Batman back to his right headspace.

I'm giving you until this time tommorow. Otherwise I'm gonna have to move on and have Batman's raid on Arkham conclude. Sorry, but that's how it's gotta be.

Something's in the works, I'll tell you that much. But if anyone wants to do their own take, go ahead. The more micros, the better.

Tell us, you mysterious bastard!

 

[Aleksei]

I checked the list of characters that have been played and I don't think I saw any Dr. Alec Holland. Is Swamp Thing available for Season 3?

As far as I know, Swamp Thing hasn't been used. Go for it

Deal. If I don't get a post up in your time period; move on. I'm real sorry, my real life has been not just busy - but bad. Straight up, bad. So if I can't get it together, move on. Again, I apologize for slowing you down.
