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

Not open for further replies.
Finally found the time to read the current page of the IC thread, and...I... why is Superman fighting a sludge monster? I was in the middle of having Clark out on assignment with Lois. :huh:

Is the monster in question supposed to be Ignition, who just arrived in this dimension in my last post? Because that was actually just the setup for a completely different storyarc that I had in mind for Superman waaay down the road, and he's currently nowhere near Clark.

I am completely at a loss here. :huh:
 
Uhh... a Superboy-Prime continuity shattering punch did it?
 
Ignition doesn't even look like any sort of sludge monster, either.

Maybe if I hadn't described Ignition's body, I could understand that particular mistake...
Its body seemingly composed of machinery, the heat from its jet black skin boils off the muck of the sewer and turns the pools of slime at its feet into steam. Energy begins rising out of the numerous exhaust ports scattered over the thing's body as two red eyes power up.
...but as it is, I'm even more confused.
 
So this now means that Catwoman and Riddler are responsible for creating Solomon Grundy?

God, I love this RPG. :up:
 
I know he was chopped into pieces before being dumped in the swamp, but that kind of detail would've been a bit too complex to photoshop into a Grundy pic, so you can just use your imagination to picture his limbs looking like they've been hastily reattached. :ninja:

EDIT: It also apparently eats dead bodies, which, y'know, is always fun.

wow talk about your case of miss communication. I thought that maybe Andy C had spoke to you and the two of you set something up. I guess not.
 
Andy and I talked about the climactic encounter towards the end of the season, but that's not happening yet. If Superman was fighting a monster right now, I wouldn't have a problem with Majestic dropping in, but that's just not in any way what Clark is currently doing.

I was a little more than a week behind on reading IC posts, while my last two posts had only just started the Silver Banshee's origin story, and I wanted to take a break from the superbrawls for a little while and just have Clark and Lois do more down-to-earth reporting. I was thinking that that story would be more or less independent from any other currently ongoing storyarc for the time being, so I could go at my own pace. Then I got your PM today asking about the thing Superman was encountering, and I had a big "WTF?" moment and immediately put my schoolwork aside to catch up on reading the IC thread, and was naturally a little surprised to see Clark somehow teleported away from Lois and into his costume to fight a sludge monster I had never heard tell of.

Don't worry, Flash can deal with the tar monster. I am getting kinda tired of waiting on MB anyway. :cmad:
 
A slight bunny on my part, Syn. We can say that Nygma post takes place the day after the Batgirl/Atom teamup.

Oh ****, dude. That was completely and utterly my bad; saw the one picture of him rising up, the steam and whatnot making him look kinda sludge-monster-ish, and just kinda jumped to a conclusion. Shows how much I pay attention, apparently. I'm sure we can retcon our way around that (say, Majestic was pulled into a simulator like the one from that one episode of JLU with Galatea?) so as not to interfere with what you're doing.

Ugh...I really need to get my head back in the game here.

You ignorant ****! :cmad:

No, that's fine. Could be a good lead in, too...:ninja:
 
If it involves a way Nygma can act any more creepy and sleezy, I'm all for it.
 
Retconned out my last couple of Luthor posts. Sorry about that, guys.
 
could i do an ultimate batman beyond? timedisplaced perhaps so he can interact with others
 
I'm gonna have to say no, simply because when we allowed future characters before, it was under the guideline that they'd remain in their own time. And since no future characters are being played anymore, you wouldn't have anyone to interact with.
 
has atrocitus and the red lanterns been established?
 
Red Lanterns have been established, though in this universe, there are no seperate factions of Lanterns yet. The rings simply change color and power based on the wearer's emotional spectrum, and if anyone's turns red or yellow, they're arrested or expelled from the Corps. I'm not for certain, but I think Atrocitus has remained untouched.
 
On an unrelated note, I've decided to drop Martian Manhunter. Byrd patiently gave me two weeks to post and get an arc rolling between us, and I still couldn't muster one up because I've lost pretty much all interest in the character. I'm not sure if I'll pick up a replacement anytime soon, because I'd like to get back on track with Batman and Hal first.

ok another qustion, what causes the change?
 
Usually an intense situation that provokes the wearer's response. If they lash out in rage, it turns red.
 
Ok her it is, my app for,
Atrocitus, i realize he isnt using the name atrocitus yet, that figures in later, well heres what i came ehere for
. Application .
. THE NEW ULTIMATE DC RPG .
Character Application
.Screen name: sabetoonth

.Character you wish to portray: Atrocitus

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

.Powers and physical attributes: Atrocitus possesses superhuman strength and durability; strong enough to toss a
construction digger and durable enough to withstand bullets.Atrocitus's capture by the Empire of Tears , which put him in such a rage his GL ring became a Red Lantern ring. the ring has the same abilities as the GL rings however they run on rage, atrocitus has the ability to form hard light constructs, though more commonly using simple blasts of energy, which are corrosive to the energy auruas of other
lanterns.

.Origin and backstory (as you see it):
As a former green lantern atrocitus was one of the best the corp had seen in a long time. During a routine excercise
on an unrecorded planet, Atrocitus witnessed the total annihilation of the planet by the Empire of Tears terrorist
organization. Captured he was helpless to save the doomed planet and her inhabitants. As an extra blow to the lantern
he was forced to watch his own planet, were lived his family, his wife, and children, destroyed, just becuase he
had been cuaght. This brought the experienced lantern into such a rage his power ring was engulfed in red energy, he
ahnnihilated the ship, ripped the leaders of the Empire limb from limb, and then destroyed the weapon all in a blind rage
sparing no one, not the women, or the children, or the infants or innocent captives, they all parished.

Atrocitus was tracked down and arrested by a large group of GL's. However, he slew them all, save sinestro, who quickly
defeated the Red Lantern when his rage was suprising calmed by the hardlight constructs of his wife and children.
Dispelled from the Corp, Atrocitus returned to his enraged state after being seperated from his corrupted ring, which
was stored away, far from the reach of any sentient beings but the gaurdians. Atrocitus is awaiting trial for the murders
of the entire crew, families members, and captives of the Empire of Tears

.The burning question - Why this character?: I figure i can take the character in an interesting direction.
.How will this version of your character differ from others? How will it be Ultimate?: This atrocitus has strong
willpower being a former GL driven into a nrealy unstapable homocidal rage. He will try to reaquire his own ring and if
successfi, destroy the gaurdians and more importantly to Atrocitus, sinsestro will pay, in blood, tears, and fear.

.What do you believe you can bring to the RPG?: I can bring a more character driven writing style, and a new take on
evne a new character

.Provide a sample post as the character you wish to portray, in three paragraphs or more:
The cell walls were all too familiar to Aknir, the ssame cell walls he had been sourrounded by the entire time he had awaited official expulsion from the GL corp.

"Times come for the transportation of the prisoner" a fellow corpmen looked inside the cell.

Akrin look up at him, he was bound for his stregnth was consderable even without hiw power ring.

"I had every right to do what i did, i saved countless lives by destroying just that one ship"Akrin said defensivly as he was walked to the cargo hold.

"You killed when there was no reason, you got emotional Akrin, as a GL you are not to get emotional" Shozabori scolded his former fellow lantern.

"Next time your bound and chained, and you watch your own planet, all those you hold dear, vaporized, and have the perpetrator laugh at it, then you tell me not to get emotional"

Akrin sat on the bench, though he seemed only mildly irratated, inside him brewed a hellstrom of rage, just waiting to be unleashed.

Somewhere across Oa, in the vault of the gaurdians, his formerly green Lantern ring seems to pulls itslef to the door, but helplessley drops upon impact. But it skidded across the floor, and banged agaisnt the door harder, and harder, until...it broke the three foot thick carbonated stell doors; zipping through space to find its weidler.


.Do you know how to post pictures on the Hype?:

Okay, Sabetoonth, I don't want to seem like an a-hole, but I have to for your own sake.

Your application needs work. I didn't necessarily read the quality of your dialogue, but that's because I couldn't get past the first problem - and if I can't, others most likely won't as well.

The beginning words of your sentences aren't capitalized.
Everything is bunched together in one huge paragraph. I can't differentiate anything from first glance. And, because the bold was removed from the original application's question, it makes it really hard to see where I am in the application when I read it.

Also, in the rpgs here, we all tend to characterize the speech of our characters by making their dialogue a different color or font, or even both. It makes it more interesting so it's not just black and white words.

Take a look at the other applications presented in these OOC threads to see how to do one properly. Specifically, go to page one of this thread and take a look at those applications so you can get the jist of how things go around these parts. It'll improve the appearance of your work, and most definently lead to a faster approval for your applications. ;):up:
 
OK hows it look now?
and no, you don't seem asinine at all, pointing out error is not asinine at all
