Beware the commies!

...That may be my new favorite smiley. It just seems so...practical!

 

[Saved]

You mean like this one?

I just love doing that.

 

[Carnage27]

Hey guys, sorry for being MIA the past week. I'll have posts up at least by Thursday.

 

[Batman]

Apologies for being a slackoff as of late. With All-Star requiring alot of my attention, I haven't been as motivated for anything DC as I usually am. Hopefully I'll be able to resume a semi-regularity by tomorrow.

EDIT: Also, am I the only one unsurprised that Byrd got the 666th post?

 

[Saved]

I swear to all that is good, if I lose ONE more long post I will go awol.

 

[Eddie Brock]

I swear to all that is good, if I lose ONE more long post I will go awol.

AWOL as in you will leave without warning us (its actual definition), or AWOL as in you will start assassinating people (its perceived definition)?

 

[Saved]

No, AWOL as in Angry While Ostentatiously Ludicrous.

 

[Spike_x1]

Maybe that'll teach ya to type shorter posts.

 

[Spike_x1]

If there's anyone who can identify the villain that just appeared, I'll give them a cookie.

 

[Batman]

Ignition?

Says so in the URL of your pics.

 

[Byrd Man]

Yep. Didn't here appear in the Emperor Joker storyline?

 

[Spike_x1]

Ignition?

Says so in the URL of your pics.

Oh, get ****ed. No cookie for you, cheater.

 

[Batman]

Oh, get ****ed. No cookie for you, cheater.

^ Actually, I could totally see Batman doing that to one of the Riddler's tricks.

 

[Carnage27]

So...sorry to do this but I think I'm going to drop Black Hand.

I thought I had a lot more motivation for him than I do.

Yaaaay!

. Application .

. THE NEW ULTIMATE DC RPG .
Character Application

.Screen name: SenseiofCheese

.Character you wish to portray: Thaal Sinestro, Green Lantern of Sector 1417

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

.Powers and physical attributes: As a native of the planet Korugar Sinestro's natural strength and stamina are slightly below that of a human. However as a wielder of a Green Lantern power ring Sinestro is capable of creating hard light constructs of whatever he wishes, granted he possesses the willpower. And he does.

.Origin and backstory (as you see it): Thaal Sinestro was born on the planet Korugar in Space Sector 1417. Showing great promise as a child he was expected to become one of the greatest military minds of the Korugan world. But when he was a young man the Green Lantern Jewelius Blak arrived on Korugar and chose Sinestro as her apprentice.

Serving under Blak, Sinestro was at the head of the pack in every possible way. When Blak was killed during a rescue mission the Guardians made Sinestro a full fledged member of the Lantern Corps, his designation; Green Lantern. Sinestro became one of the most celebrated Green Lanterns of all time, displaying countless feats of strength, will and bravery and helping to bring peace and justice to the galaxy. Awarded Honorary Lantern status for his service, Thaal Sinestro was partnered with another celebrated Green Lantern; William Hand.

For over 10 years the two worked together, going on operations deemed too dangerous for other Lanterns, spearheading rescue missions and attacks, and saving each other's lives more often than the other could count. But one day, 5 years ago, when on a routine follow-up mission William Hand snapped and attacked his longtime partner with a mysterious black energy and vanished.

Returning, more dead than alive, to the Guardians Sinestro told them of what had transpired. Refusing to believe their legendary 'Chosen One' Hand had gone rogue, but finding no evidence to the contrary, the Guardians of Oa demoted Sinestro back to a routine Green Lantern. Although they officially accepted Sinestro's account of what had happened, they deemed his sighting of a black energy as a dying man's hallucination. Word soon spread throughout the ranks of the Lantern Corps that the great Sinestro had gone crazy, some believing he killed William Hand out of jealousy.

For the last 5 years Sinestro has continued to serve as a Green Lantern, his resentment growing, and searched for any sign of William or the black energy. But, as is known, William Hand is back and has brought the dead with him.

.The burning question - Why this character?: I wanted to jump back into the Ultimate DC universe and thought this would be a great way in. I sort of created Ultimate Sinestro when I applied for Black Hand and almost ended up playing him instead, because I liked his story so much. Not to mention I'm a big, big fan of the Ultimate incarnation of the Lantern Corps, and want to see the Blackest Night storyline to it's end.

.How will this version of your character differ from others? How will it be Ultimate?:

If you've read the origin part of this application then you know how he'll differ. Aside from that, I'll be following Sinestro's fall from a new perspective and new set of circumstances.

.What do you believe you can bring to the RPG?: Another player to the Blackest Night storyline and hopefully some good writing along the way.

.Provide a sample post as the character you wish to portray, in three paragraphs or more:

5 years ago

"Just a routine follow-up, Sinestro. Nothing to worry about." William assured his long time partner as the two of them soared through space.

"I doubt they'd be sending their two best Lanterns for a routine follow-up, William." Sinestro said, a hint of worry in his voice.

"True, a couple of Blue Lanterns could do this by themselves." William grinned and Sinestro chuckled, shaking his head. "But I suppose the two of us are just for show. After all, what says 'We Care' better than sending the legendary team of Sinestro and William Hand." William stated confidently.

"I suppose. It's a good thing I trust you, William." Sinestro smiled.

Kill.

William´s flight came to a stop, and he hung suspended in the black. "William?" Sinestro flew up to his partner, putting a hand on his shoulder. "Are you alright?"

Kill them all.

"I'm fine, Sinestro." what was once William Hand said, staring off into the void. "Just fine."

The dark tentacles snaked out of Hand´s ring, invisible against the pitch black of space, and wrapped itself around Sinestro's foot.

Awesometastical. Now, I read what I missed out of the Blackest Night story so I think I'll go ahead and take the cue from MB's next post.

 

[Trigger]

Sorry for pulling a disappearing act. I was bombarded with vacation, a birthday, and the start of new classes for the Spring semester. My next Mr. Miracle post will be up on Friday.

 

[Trigger]

Oops, double post.

 

[The Question]

Does Power Girl have a history around here?

 

[Batman]

She was established earlier in the season as a villainess. The player who was playing her disappeared.

 

[Andy C.]

Sorry about not posting more often- been distracted by real-life stuff and All-Star Marvel. Gonna get a Luthor and WW post up hopefully tonight.

 

[Saved]

I'm catching up tonight. Major apologies to MST3K.
