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

Not open for further replies.
I know I haven't been in the season that long but it feels like this season just mid way if that.

I'm glad to be apart of this. Lord knows on the second season i only lasted for three post.
 
My awards. No Best Ultimized characters, because we haven't really had any new "Ultimizations" that stood out.


Best Hero: Batman
- MB
It's quality, not quantity, right? Each of MB's posts are jammed pack with quality. He may not post the most, but each post is equal to about five of mine. So what does that tell you? His name is synonymous with Batman. He's been worried about someone trying to steal the caped crusader from him, but I told him it won't happen because he IS Batman. Pure and simple. Now all he needs to do is POOOOOOOOST!

Best Villain: Bane
- Spike
A cold, calculating strongman? This isn't how Bane is supposed to be played. Everyone knows he swings his arms wildly while shouting "BAAAANE!!!" But yeah, Spike has given Bane a better backstory and a crusade that shows him to be not only Batman's equal, but a twisted version of the Dark Knight himself.

Best 'Walking The Line': J
ames Gordon - CatmanHe seems to inch closer towards the V column than the H column, but Cats is dong a fantastic job with the Commissioner. Nobody ****s with Jim Gordon and the GCPD and gets away with it, as one of my characters is learning the hard way. I'll always be grateful that he beat me to the punch with applying for him when this RPG started.

Best Story Arc: Ultimate Gotham
- MB, EBJ, Spike, Syn, Catman, et. al

Yeah, people like to harp that "It's the Ult. Gotham RPG!11LOLZ!!" but say what you will, we have a great selection of posters inside the city. All these different characters and storylines going down. From Batman's crusade on the mob, to Bane's extermination of the mob, Maroni and Gordon holding on to their crumbling empires, Red Hood and Batgirl taking it to the crooks of the city, and Selina Kyle wrapped up in a whole lot of ****. The majority of our posters have their characters call this city home, but who gives a **** as long as there's some damn fine RPing going on. I won't toot my horn with all this stuff, mostly because I can't reach that far yet, so I'll just say good job everyone!


MVP (Most Valuable Player): MB

Almost a year ago, talk picked up about rebooting this RPG. I mean, the storylines were stale and going nowhere and only a small percentage of the RPers on the roster were actually posting. All of it was just talk until MB stepped in to set things up, laid down the ground work, and got this RPG jump-started back again. The only reason we made it to 1,000 posts is because of MB. You mother****ing ****sucking bastard. :cmad: I love you :heart:
 
Allright, here we go. Not doing 'Best Post' because I'm way too lazy to dig through the thread to find one that I liked. Also, because I hate you all.

Best Hero: The Flash (Byrd Man)
Part Barry Allen, part Wally West, part Peter Parker, Byrd's take on the Scarlet Speedster never ceases to entertain. He's an incredible badass in one moment and a stammering dork the next, not to mention ridiculously creative with his super-speed abilities. Honorable Mention goes to MB's Batman and Spike's Superman, but I've already given them both the nod before.

Best Villain: Bane (Spike_x1)
Bane is one of those guys that everyone remembers for one cool thing he did and absolutely nothing else, a largely disposable one-off villain that never gets used to his full potential. Spike's take on the character makes him a character that is every bit as awesome as he should be, and actually makes me look forward to his inevitable confrontation with Batman.

Best 'Walking The Line': Jim Gordon (Catman_prb)

I was never too crazy about the whole idea of Jim Gordon being crooked and sleazy, but Catman has made it work like nobody's business. Yes, he's a total bastard, but he's still the law and you do not question him unless you're looking for trouble. Should make for some interesting stuff when he finds out what his daughter is up to. Honorable mention goes to Byrd Man's Edward Nygma again.

Best "Ultimized" Character: Dick Grayson (Green Lantern)
I normally can't stand bratty-teenager characters, but GL has done/is doing (I'm not sure if he's still active) some really good stuff with the dysfunctional relationship between Dick and Bruce. The fact that he's going out and knocking the crap out of bad guys long before Batman ever takes him in is a nice touch, too. Honorable mention goes to Syn's Batgirl, J'Adore's Supergirl, and Eddie Brock's Green Arrow.

Best Character Development: Selina Kyle (Eddie Brock)
I'm really digging how the crusade against Maroni and Gordon is affecting Selina, who is usually portrayed as little more than a grinning sex-pot for Batman to angst over. I dug her 'death and resurrection' and cannot wait to see where it all leads.

Best Story Arc: Ultimate Holiday
There are very few mystery stories that keep me guessing these days, and this one is really delivering. As much as I like to piss and moan about how Gotham-heavy the Ultimate DC universe is, this arc is one that demonstrates just why so many people like to play around in that city in the first place.

MVP (Most Valuable Player): Batman
First of all, because all of his stuff as Batman is frakking awesome. And secondly, because he was the driving force behind rebooting the UDC game in the first place. Bravo, sir.
 
i may be returning to Freis guys, ive been thinking for about a week about it, i really liked the character too, jsut had my own reasons for dropping him

can i be brainiac, as a kryptonian A.I. which "infects" people, inserting nanobytes to their brains, "tatooing" the brainiac symbol on their foreheads meanwhile, making them drones? in my version, as milton fine he's sickly-looking, old, green-ish and with a red-tint in the eyes, looking like a homeless, but he can develop to machine form, where he's a disattached head, holding on a lot of cables... here's a manip of patrick stewart as brainiac, i'll send my app soon:

 
. Application .

. THE NEW ULTIMATE DC RPG .
Character Application

.Screen name: Sabetoonth

.Character you wish to portray: VictorFries/Mr. Fries

.Hero, villain, or walking the line?: He’s get closer to walking the line before a spiral into madness/villainy as he takes out the ones he blames for Nora’s condition and his own, and then her ultimately untimely death.

.Powers and physical attributes: VictorFries is an average man, slight build, bald head by choice, a very slight face. He is also very intellegent being a genius in cryogenics and weapons manufacturing as he has made ice grenades/bombs and is wokring on an ice gun.

.Origin and backstory (as you see it):
Victor Fries is the son of a german immigrant, his early life was rather uneventful , he had hobbies, he went to a boarding school, then he met the love of his life. Nora, a beautiful woman. They met after college, just before he was hired at Gothtech.Victor has started devoloping weapons and other liquid mitrogen tools on the military contracts as Gothtech. He is working on a suit of armor for desert enviroments meant to keep the wearer cool and comfortable in the heat of the hottest deserts in the world. He has plans to ask Nora to marry him soon, and hes bought the ring, which has a huge rock on it, though he had to barrow a few hundred dollars from Gothtech without anyone knowing.
.The burning question - Why this character?:
honeslty I just got an idea for him, and I can kinda relate to the character, smart guy, beautiful girl, things go wrong, he needs to do somehting to save her or get her back. And Freeze actually is one of my top 5 bat villains.
I also already established Freis without getting into Mr Freeze and I want to make that move
.How will this version of your character differ from others? How will it be Ultimate?:
hes not goin to be a villain, he’ll start out as a good guy, hten he’ll descend into villainy as his luck gets worse and worse, turning to true supervillainy when he looses whats closest to his heart: Nora, and he’ll be a little less cold the he has been shown in some, he’ll be angry, but still sympathetic character.
Im gonn kinda change this a bit, when he totally looses it, he is going to become cold, but only on the outside, only to his enemies, and emotional to everyone else. And he will not be so sympathetic through his enemies eyes, cuz all they see if a former scientist(if they knew him then) in a suit of cooling armor coming at them and wanting their head on a stake. And im thinking about before he uses the freeze gun and suit, it will be a normal gun with Bullets he uses to kill a few people he thinks deserve it.
.What do you believe you can bring to the RPG?:
ive got ideas, I can write a good story, a can be orginal im still a rookie I think, but ive been playing Sabretooth and the Hulk in the Allstar Marvel RPG, so I can carry a character through paces, through story, and I can react to other events with reasonable reaction for the character. And I enjoy playing RPGs. And to add to this I also played the character before.
.Provide a sample post as the character you wish to portray, in three paragraphs or more:
The past few weeks hadnt been easy for Victor Freis, Nora had been in a coma the whole time. He hadnt though of anything else, even at work, he had to re start on individual parts to the freeze gun because he would loose focuz and weld the wrong things together, or incorrectly wire another piece. It was wreaking havoc, he could only hink of her, he had a few sick days saved up and he was going to use them so he could spend some time with her so he might be able to work, that why he would still have a way to support her when she ever came out of a coma.
As he left the Gothtech building he headed right for the Hospital.
The next morning he called into work and told Dave, a coworker in the lab, that he would be taking time off for Nora
“Victor, I don’t know what you’re going through, but I wish you both the best.” He said over the phone
“Thank you Dave, I’ll see you when I come back.” Victor hung up the phone and walked back over to Nora’s bed side. “Two months you’ve been like this.” He thought to himself. He took her hand in his and said a prayer, funny he thought, for such an unreligous man to pray now that he needed God or Heaven the most. He spent the night there, ate dinner in the cafeteria. As time went on these last couple of months he had learned to have time without her, to leave her side as to function correctly, the wathcing her lie there was tortuoes, but he couldn’t leave her side, what would happen if she woke up and he wasn’t there? Wasn’t in the hospital when he could be? She might think he abandoned her.
The calendar ticked by and soon a week was over, this would be the last night he could stay with her until he had to go back to work.
“Nora, darling, I want you to know, no matter what happens, I love you.” He looked up at her face as he held her hand firm in his grasp, the doors opened and Nora’s parents came in the room. they came over to their daughters bed side. Isa, her mother with short red hair and aged worried face on Nora’s right side, her father tall and blonde steady as a red wood,towering over all at the foot of the bed.
Funny,Victor thought to himself, Nora was a party girl, out going, willing to jump on the dance floor at any given moment, a loud person everyone in this room loved. And she was surrounded by silence.

In the immortal words of Bill & Ted, "Excellent." :up:

By the by, I think my next Selina post will have her working her first day as a bodyguard, so you don't have to wait up for me with Nygma.
 
Can do. Now I can finally have 2/3 of my characters out of your iron grip. :cmad:

Mr. Freeze. :cwink: Other than that, I'd say try and improve on your spelling, and spacing out paragraphs. You're getting better at it than you were, but there's still some work to be done.

Approved.
 
alright lets get back to cracking!

as for spacing them out, i went to edit and do that and the hype went data base error on me and o forgot to go back :cmad:
 
. Application .

. THE NEW ULTIMATE DC RPG .
Character Application


.Screen name: Nimibro

.Character you wish to portray: Jervis Tetch/"the Mad Hatter"

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

.Powers and physical attributes: short, sunken, big eyes, a big nose and big front teeth, bushy eyebrows, gray-ish red hair, extremely psychotic, suffering of schizophrenia and very start hallucinations, speaks incoherently with changes in tone and random cuts between sentences. Extremely unpredictable and dangerous when armed.

.Origin and backstory (as you see it): well, Arkham inmate #1865, Jervis Tetch, also nicknamed by the asylum staff "the Mad Hatter", is a schizophrenic, psychotic man with deep, very excessive hallucinations. Not much is known about him, beside the fact he went a massive mental breakdown at age 52 while he worked in a wayne enterprises, and was deeply traumatized after the joker kidnapped him. 3 months after that, he tried to sexually assault a co-worker, although he was profiled as shy and quite harmless before the mental breakdown. She hit him, he went mad and tried to electrocute her with a cable, and was sent to Arkham, after escaping the factory and raping a 16 years old girl, while wearing a homemade costume of "the Mad Hatter" from the book "Alice in Wonderland". He has escaped numerous times, and even threatened to bombard the city, although that has been declared as a false alarm. He was also an expert of hypnotic methods and drugs before his mental, reasons for that "hobby" still unknown", although his rambles of "Creating a nation of "wonderlandians"".

.The burning question - Why this character?: well, the character was always seen as a very cartoon-ish, campy and cheesy mock-character, even with the loeb runs that made him a molester and of course, grant Morrison's Arkham Asylum graphic novel

.How will this version of your character differ from others? How will it be Ultimate?: I'll ditch all cheesy aspects like his numerous campy-crimes, like stealing a plane, bombing the whole city with no real expertise in bombs, and of course, mind-control, leaving a mad, creepy and menacing character.

.What do you believe you can bring to the RPG?: I am an amateur scriptwriter and wrote quite a few stories before, as a scene for a fan-project, some spider-man and batman stories in my head and on paper (maybe I'll post 'em later) and I can help tie/produce new arcs…

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

Jervis stands in the dirty, smelly alleyway, in a ragged, stitched mad hatter costume, walking slowly, almost failing and collapsing with every step he takes. He breathes heavily, and then laughs manically. A blonde, good-looking teenager, something like 16-years old walks, right in front of him. Her hair is messy, and the make-up on her cheeks and under her eyes is dirty and messed-up. "Hello, little Alice." Jervis says, looking at the girl. "I waited very, VERY long for you to return to here… to WONDERLAND! HAHEEhooheh!".


Jervis steps forward the girl and makes a threatening move with his hand. The girl walks backwards and starts to run in the opposite direction. He runs towards her, sprinting toward her direction, drooling and screaming like a rabid dog "I kNOw YoU WanT It, AliCe! CoME AnD HaVE sOME TeEeA!" as the girl screams and cries for help.


As the girl enters a phone booth, Jervis stands outside, on the street, with a raging expression "YoU LiTtle ****! YoU tHinK yoU caN RuN-n AwAY FrOm MeE? Then WRONG!" the girl types "911", and stays in the booth. Jervis sees the police cabs coming to him, and screams "YOU LITTLE F**KING B*TCH! I SWEAR I WILL KILL YOU WHEN I FIND YOU, YOU LITTLE PIECE OF DOGSH**T!" and runs into the night.

Jervis Tetch has been introduced in this RPG already. I don't remember the specific post, but if you browse the IC thread, you can see how he's been portrayed.
 
oh bummer... as an NPC? i was told he's free to introduce. but sure, i'll look for it.
 
He's free to use, yes, but he's been established - that's all I'm sayin. :up:
 
Jervis Tetch works for Wayne Enterprises. I believe Joker kidnapped him and his mind control device in order to manipulate the minds of Gotham's citizens. But that was back when JB played Joker, not sure if MB has touched on it since he took over.
 
Master Bruce - Optikal was approved as Hawkman and has yet to be added to the roster; however, he has not made an IC post since approval.
 
So, after posting the opening Holiday post a day in advance, I went from Christmas to Mother's Day posting within five minutes of midnight of each holiday...until my *^$&@&$!&!@#)!@$*!@$*!_ Computer decides to **** up the day before Father's Day! :cmad:
