Fine, I can withdraw my application if you'd like.

 

[Byrd Man]

Rest easy. He may start out in Central City, but Turtle will end up moving to Gotham.

 

[trustyside-kick]

Yea the beauty of this villain is his potential to be a foe for any really. Too bad they haven't used him since Johns old Flash run.

THE NEW ULTIMATE DC RPG
Character Application

.Character you wish to portray: Alan Scott/Green Lantern

.Hero, villain, or walking the line?: Walking the line.

.Powers and physical attributes: None. His power ring grants him a myriad of powers, for example flight and hard light constructs. Despite owning the power ring for several decades Scott lacks the training of many official Green Lanterns and has therefore limited knowledge of it's capability, this does however allow him to think out of the box in a way which they can not.

.Origin and backstory (as you see it): Alan Scott was the son of impoverished German immigrants, as a young boy he was fascinated with trains and the railroads and eventually through years of hardship scraped together enough money to create his own company. Scott Railroads was the first of many ventures that Scott Enterprises would venture into, but it's maiden voyage was far from a successful one; the train was sabotaged and dozens of people died, Alan Scott himself was buried amongst the rubble and it was only with the discovery of a green power lantern that led to his survival.

For years Scott used the ring he fashioned from the metal of power lantern to save lives in secret, whilst using it for his own personal good, unaware of where it had originated from and who it had belonged to. Now an elderly man Scott serves as the public face for the company he built from the very ground up, but at night stalks the streets of Gotham City not only to make the streets safer for those who he holds dear but in order to eliminate the competition.

.The burning question - Why this character?: Unfinished business.

.How will this version of your character differ from others? How will it be Ultimate?: The Ultimate version of Alan Scott is a lot darker, his past is far murkier and at no point does he appear to embrace his role as a hero. Ultimate Alan Scott is first and foremost a businessman, one with a questionable set of morals and principles.

.What do you believe you can bring to the RPG?: I started a lot of things with Alan Scott that I never really got to finish and I didn't get round to a lot of things that I would have liked to have done with him in the first season because of life getting in the way, hopefully I can go a little more in depth and flesh out Scott's supporting cast even further. Should be fun.

.Provide a short sample post as your desired character, in three paragraphs or more:

Gotham City had changed beyond recognition since Alan Scott, or "Andreas Schott" as he was known then, had played in the streets with youthful abandon. As hard as it was to believe it had once been safe to walk along the streets of Gotham at night, you could leave your front door open when you left your house in the morning and come home at night to find nothing had been stolen, but those days had gone.

Alan Scott placed the cigar between his lips and sighed slightly as he looked down at the city that he called home. Time magazine had dubbed Alan Scott thirty years ago "Gotham's first son" because of the fortune he had built, the jobs he had provided for thousands of Gotham's inhabitants but primarily because of his own rags to riches tale. If only the people below knew that for years Scott had served as their protector, albeit a reluctant one, saving hundreds if not thousands of lives.

The sound of sirens resonated around the streets below him and with a sigh flicked away the cigar he had lit just moments ago. The air around him began to mumur ever so slightly and Scott's clothes burnt into green flames, his tired muscles were at once alive and in one swift and graceful movement Alan lept from the balcony.

The discontent on his face was visible, Scott knew he was fighting a losing battle but that didn't mean he was going to stop fighting anytime soon.

.Preferred roster pic? (No preference, and one will be chosen for you):

Approved

If you haven't already, you should get in touch with Cats about his current Justice Society arc.

Welcome back.

THE NEW ULTIMATE DC RPG
Character Application
.Character you wish to portray: Chato Santana aka El Diablo.
.Hero, villain, or walking the line?: El Diablo walks the line.

.Powers and physical attributes: El Diablo doesn't really do powers. He's a crack shot and is able to hold his own in a fight. He can cut you with a knife and lasso you with a whip (that's on fire). He can also ride horses, mechanized or not.

.Origin and backstory (as you see it): Chato Santana is the mini-Pablo Escobar of California's Coast City. Or, at least, the romanticized version of Pablo. A drug kingpin with a (small) heart of gold. Been a criminal all his life and will be 'till the day he dies. He just does some good deeds along the way as well.

In our starting story, Chato Santana 'acquires' the role of El Diablo and all that *&^% that comes with it, as he turns part-time vigilante.

It's probably also important to note that there was an El Diablo before, namely in the Old West. That man went by the name Lazarus Lane. He might figure into our things.

.The burning question - Why this character? I have to admit it's a visual thing. I really liked the Hester design on this guy and I recently read a Jonah Hex-El Diablo (the original) team-up story. It got the creative juices flowing.

.How will this version of your character differ from others? How will it be Ultimate? For one thing, El Diablo's secret identity is by all rights a villain. As to the second thing, it'll be ultimately awesome.

.What do you believe you can bring to the RPG? Your momma.

.Provide a short sample post as your desired character, in three paragraphs or more:

This is the story of Chato Santana, the Robin Hoodiest gangster ever known to Coast City. This is the sort of vato that would use one hand to popping off bullets and the other to help a little old lady cross the street. But we'll get to his good deeds later.

Our boy's name rung out early on the streets. He'd grown up in the lap of one of Opal's most notorious players, Big Chico and by the time his face was popping with zits and his voice started dropping an octave or two, Chato was running his own crew.

But all that was just kid's play. Things really started going our man's way - or not, depending on your point of view - a few weeks before his thirtieth birthday. Together with two of his accomplices, he was down in the El Barrio, taking a personal hand in matters concerning a drug shipment of his that had been misplaced.

One of his boys went by the name of Hector, but his friends knew him better as the Nerd King of the Barrio. “The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides,” he started reciting as he held a gun to a man's head, but Chato cut that bull*&^% right quick with a wave of his own piece. “Ain't no time for that *&^%, man.”

<BLAM!> and next thing anyone knew, Jorge was no more. His head was blown open and dripping blood, it sliding past the curb and down into a sewer drain. Yeah, Chato liked to keep his streets clean.

Now, just in case you're wondering on the how's and why's that allow anyone to shoot a man in an alley off of the busiest street in the whole neighbourhood - at night, but still - without being bothered by witnesses or cops, I should tell you something about El Barrio. Around there witnesses don't witness *&^% and cops like their donuts with a filling coloured money green.

But back to Chato and the man on the ground, sitting on his knees next to the lifeless body of his cousin, his hermano, his best friend, his accomplice. Crying and with a big piss-stain on the front of his cheap-ass pants. Wearing bargain bin bling across his neck and on his hands, which he now held clasped before him.

&#8220;Mios dio, please,&#8221; and all that *&^%. Yeah, Trey was begging.

Chato, who was already a big man, was now towering over him. At this point, I'd like to point out how our man was dressed, taking Trey as the Barrio standard. Chato wore none of that typical ghetto crap. This boy came correct. Mostly. Timberlands, jeans that he actually wore with the crotch in place and a simple white T. No fake jewellery or a bunch of loud tattoos. Ink stitches across his right wrist: the hand they'd cut off if he ever betrayed Los Reyes Locos. But that was it. Bald head, little goatee.

&#8220;I ain't gonna kill ya. Just get word out. You don't #$@% with me,&#8221; he said and he didn't need to say it twice. Trey got up and ran out of the alley without even looking back once at his dearly departed compadre. Which is when Chato turned to Hector and we actually get to the starting point of our story. Hector's phone started ringing and just after he had flipped it open and put it to his ear, his mouth dropped open. Ending the call, he turned to Chato.

&#8220;The ministers got Poot.&#8221;

[Batman]

Also, expect a post in our arc tonight.

 

[Byrd Man]

You better

 

[Spike_x1]

Finally got around to mentioning how Superman avoids the monitoring of Luthor's high tech dust particles that were introduced way back (I think) towards the beginning of the first season.

Took me long enough.

 

[Saved]

My bad, guys - I'm changing Judson Pierce to Klaus Kristin in my Red Hood arc. Change of plans.

 

[Spider-Fan]

I'm interested in giving this a shot (been for a while, but was busy with hype games like Survivor last year). Marvel is normally my strongsuit, but I think I can think of DC people I can do well.

What is deadline for apps?

 

[Byrd Man]

Apps are open from the time the game starts and usually never end, unless maybe you try to apply when we got about a week left to go in the season.

 

[Saved]

Well ... looks like my roster pic will need an update.

 

[Bounce]

My apologies if my posting isn't up to snuff over the next couple of weeks. Bear with me and I promise it will improve as soon as I get out of this sandpit.

I really do have a plan and an idea of where I'm going with this.

 

[Catman_prb]

I think that (temporarily) I'm dropping Mr. Terrific. I know exactly what I want to do with him, but I've lost the drive and foxus I had before.

 

[Batman]

And so ends the single longest RPG team-up that I've ever had the pleasure (?) of enduring.

Ladies and gentlemen, The Dysfunctional Duo.

 

[Byrd Man]

**** the Brave and the Bold. Give me the A-Hole and the Faceless Wonder any day

 

[Harlekin]

Nice work, guys.

 

[Eddie Brock]

It may not have been Brave & Bold, but it was certainly something. I'll get back to you on the adjectives.

 

[Doctor Love]

So sorry for the long delay in posting, guys! Computer troubles and stuff.

 

[Carnage27]

I'm contemplating bringing back my Blue Beetle stuff that I started like....over a year ago.
