[Red_Robin77]

.Screen name: Red_Robin77

.Character you wish to portray: Thomas Blake

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

.Powers and physical attributes: No powers. but a skilled melee fighter, shooter and tactician.

.Origin and backstory (as you see it): Thomas Blake was the son of a washed up soldier, who had served in Vietnam, and done nothing with his life since. He constantly teased and taunted his son for doing nothing, whereas he had "done his duty", and for this, occasionally hurt his family, because they were failures in his eyes.

When Thomas hit 16, he joined the army, to prove his Dad wrong, and to make his family proud. He worked hard, and developed his skills as a soldier, enjoying his time fighting for his country. He became a more popular and skilled member as his career went along, eventually getting promoted up to Coporal, and eventually even Sergeant. But, like all good things that happen to Thomas Blake, his military career ended in bloodshed.

On a mission in South America, Blake led his squad into an ambush, after disagreeing with his commanding officer. Blake barely made it out of the place alive, after he abandoned the rest of the squad so he could survive. He was dishonourably dismissed, and he disappeared before any other action could be taken.

As Blake stayed under the radar, a woman found him and gave him a proposition. She called herself Scandal, and she knew all about Blake, and asked if he'd like to carry on his line of work, freelance. A mercernary. Blake accepted, but decided to take one last trip home first, to visit his Dad. His Dad was disgusted at his son being thrown out of the army, but Blake replied with beating his father to a pulp. He'd had enough. At midnight on the very same day, Blake buried his father in the backyard, and left the house for good.

.The burning question - Why this character?: So I've gotten a bit behind with all my RPGs, so I'm starting from scratch, and keeping it small. This is the sort of character I've never really tried much, and would like to have a go at, as it seems fun and different.

.How will this version of your character differ from others? How will it be Ultimate?: He's not just good with a knife, but all weapons, he's more of a mercenary than his regular universe counterpart, and he's definetly not a costumed villain.

.What do you believe you can bring to the RPG?: Fresh ideas, a different character and hopefully an interesting read.

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

He ran down the dark street in absolute terror, knowing what would happen if he let up his speed for just a second. Hub City was an interesting place, which has a lot of cash to spend to kill off rivals and enemies. Perfect for any hired gun. The man reached the end of the street, and spotted a parked up car, where the rest of his gang waited, and leapt into the passenger seat.

"Heycock, get this thing moving! I've got someone on my tail," he yelled to the driver, buckling up as he did so.

But instead of replying, the driver just kept his head drooped back, not even moving to acknowledge him. The target stared at the driver for a moment, still trying to catch his breath.

"Come on!"

"He's dead, moron."

The man spun around to face the backseat, where his other two colleagues sat dead, blood dripping from their slit necks, and their killer sat between them, a bloodied knife clutched in his hand.

"Boo."

Before the man could even blink, Blake swiped at him with his blade, slicing across his chest, and stabbing him when he finally reached the heart. The man keeled over, and Blake made his way out of the car, climbing over the bodies next to him. He stepped out, as a black car pulled up next to him, and Scandal stepped out.

"Did it all go to plan?"

"Yep, you chased him right to the trap."

"And he's definetly dead?"

Blake pulled a explosive trigger from his pocket, and hit the button, the dead gang's car going up in flames behind him.

"Pretty sure."

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

All fixed.

. THE NEW ULTIMATE DC RPG .
Character Application
​

.Screen name: Eddie Brock

.Character you wish to portray: Kara Zor-El / Linda Lee Danvers / Supergirl

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

.Powers and physical attributes: As a Kryptonian, on Earth Linda possesses all the same abilities as her world-famous cousin. Namely: invulnerability, superstrength, superspeed, heat vision, x-ray vision, flight, superhearing, and arctic breath. Linda is also highly trained in martial arts, as she possesses a natural aptitude for learning quickly.

.Origin and backstory (as you see it): Zor-El and Allura, survivors of the lost Kryptonian city, Argo. Their home planet had been destroyed and Argo was coming to an end, the peril around them engulfed the whole city, soon destruction was upon them. Zor-El had remembered the device his now deceased brother used to send off their only child to a new life with safety. Quickly building something similar to the device, him and Alura had to say their farewell to their only child, Kara Zor-El. The baby was sent off to Earth, in hope of finding the baby's cousin, Kal-El. Because Zor-El and Allura had programmed the device to a steady landing, Kara's course was changed slightly and she ended up in the streets of Chicago, with no destruction caused.

Fred Danvers and Sylvia Lee-Danvers had recently encountered trouble conceiving. So when a beautiful fair haired baby girl was left on their doorstep one morning, they believed their prayers had been answered. There had been one note left attached to the glowing cloth that was wrapped around the beautiful baby girl. It was in a cryptic type language, that no one could translate. The two took the girl in and adopted her. Naming her Linda Lee Danvers, after Fred's grandmother, Linda started to grow up under the average lifestyle of a girl in Chicago.

Sylvia and Fred had always known Linda wasn't exactly 'average'. Her looks were far too perfect and her build was extraordinary. Never gaining that much weight and being quite tall, Linda grew up to be the popular one in her school. At the age of just fourteen, the Danvers were all held hostage.

Sylvia was six months pregnant at the time and Fred was near his promotion in the Chicago Police Department. Someone Fred had taken down almost a year ago for murder massacres, had escaped from Arkham Asylum and broken into Sylvia, Fred and Linda's apartment. Holding them all by gun point. During the incident, the criminal had shot at Linda, only to discover the bullet had not harmed her. Scared and frightened, the criminal ran off, too late for the police to catch him once Sylvia had called them. From then on, Linda attended tense martial arts classes. After six months, she was soon top of the class, earning her black belt. This was not normal.

After a year of complete paranoia from the hostage situation, Linda finally decided to embrace what had happened and come out of her shell as a new person. Fred and Sylvia showed Linda the note that was left with her the day they found her, admitting that they adopted Linda and Linda is not biologically related to them. As soon as Linda tried to read the cryptic message, she would have constant flash backs, vivid and blurry mirages of a young looking couple, fearing for their lives as explosions surrounded them. Screams of horror and a language Linda could finally understand.

After a few vivid dreams of a weird mirages, Linda could finally understand what the note had said.

"Kara Zor-El of Krypton, our precious chid. If you want to know your true origins, origins that do not belong to the third rock from the sun, find Kal-El, as he is the only one that can tell you of your Kryptonian qualities. We shall forever be with you. - Allura In-Zee and Zor-El."

The underneath, a large symbol - translating to Hope. Not fully understanding the message, Linda at first ignored the riddles. As she lived on knowing that she was not indeed earth-born, she could add up all the clues about her lives. Why the bullet did not affect her, why she is more beautiful than the rest and taller, why she has excellent martial arts talents.

After Sylvia had given birth to a baby girl named Edna Danvers, Linda decided it was time she became this new up-front girl persona full-on. She became much more happier in life as she grew, discovering various abilities. But she knew deep down, beneath the happiness she could spend with her family, that she was still left clueless to her real past. Fred and Sylvia swore never to tell anyone about Linda and who she really is, as Linda feared that it was not time to be a new minority in America just yet.

But now, residing in Keystone City at the age of 17, Linda has found traces of the hero 'Superman' that have lead her to believe he is indeed the one and only 'Kal-El'. Taking up the persona Supergirl, to attract the attention of Superman himself, she set out and became a teen heroine of Keystone City. Now, where superheroes are not fully accepted, Linda finds it hard to get close to Superman, whereas - if she did, her past would be revealed.

*Origin by J'adore

.The burning question - Why this character?: I love the Superman family, and if you can't be the Man of Steel, the Girl of Steel isn't a bad trade-off. Seriously, though, Kara is an interesting character in her own right, especially if she's allowed to develop on her own. And as much as I love Green Arrow and Catwoman, it'll be nice to play a character with some powers for once.

.How will this version of your character differ from others? How will it be Ultimate?: Well, I'm following J'adore's origin, which is a bit of a departure from typical character lore. I plan on doing some other things that'll develop Supergirl in some different directions.

.What do you believe you can bring to the RPG?: Well, this will make my second female character - and one of only four in the game - so I'm breaking up the sausagefest a bit. Additionally, this will be my third character, and I think I've been pretty consistent with the other two, so I guess you could add "enthusiasm" to the list.

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

As I walk through Keystone, I pass a street vendor selling custom t-shirts. Normally, I wouldn't give this any thought, but one of the shirts catches my eye. The black shirt bears a familiar red symbol, one that I wear proudly on my chest. Of course, most people are more familiar with it when they see someone else wearing it.

"Mommy, look!"

I glance over my shoulder at the excited young boy pointing at the shirt.

"It's a Superman shirt!"

I can't help but smirk. It doesn't really bother me that people associate the symbol with him instead of me. After all, he did have it first. And, besides, I'm only wearing it to get his attention - which, admittedly, hasn't worked out so well so far. Of course, I haven't been giving it much effort lately. I don't even know why I'm supposed to be meeting him, anyway...

"How much for the shirt?" the woman asks.

"Twelve dollars," the vendor explains.

The woman takes out her wallet and hands the man a twenty. As she receives her change, she grabs the shirt and hands it to her smiling son. "'S' for Superman!" the kid shouts excitedly as he spins around in circles, holding the shirt like a cape.

Everyone thinks it's an 'S.' I don't blame them. That's what I thought when I first saw it, too, before I realized the significance of the symbol. But once I knew what it meant, wearing that 'S' on my chest took on a whole new meaning. The 'S' doesn't stand for Superman - or even Supergirl, for that matter.

It stands for hope.

Good to see Supergirl back. Approved FTW

 

[Byrd Man]

Supergirl is 17 and across the river in Keystone. I think needs to look up and see what the legal age of consent is for Kansas.

 

[Red_Robin77]

Just wondering, is it alright for me to get an approval for Blake?

 

[Saved]

Red Robin - Deadshot was used as an NPC by Andy C. - he had Luthor hire him as a replacement mercenary for Edward Blake. That doesn't conflict with your application, I just wanted to make you aware.

Approved.

You were approved without editing - we were simply making you aware of his previous IC use.

 

[Batman]

Yeah, you're already on the roster and everything.

 

[Red_Robin77]

...Whoops. Thanks guys, will get a post up soon.

 

[Saved]

Ultimate Gotham - tell us what we want or we'll taze you.

 

[Byrd Man]

I believe "Don't tase me, bro!" is the City Motto.

 

[Saved]

Yeah, it was a close call between that and, "AAAHHH, OH! MAKE IT STOP! MAAAKE IIIITT STTOOOPPPP!"

 

[Batman]

Sorry for the delay, Eddie. I know that many would come to expect it out of me, at this point, but there actually are special circumstances that prevented me from making that post. I have a bit of a new living arrangement to deal with, so I've been preoccupied.

My apologies. I'll try and keep it going faster, from here on out.

 

[Green Lantern]

Get on MSN MB

 

[Nimibro]

i'll post as anarky soon, i just need to do some photoshop stuff before i post...

 

[Eddie Brock]

That's right, boys. I'm keeping the modern age SG costume. No need to thank me.

 

[Spike_x1]

Was planning to get the epilogue post for Bane's mini-arc and another Superman post up this afternoon, but I'm going to be driving to my sister's place to help her move today. I should be back tonight to get the posts up.

 

[Spike_x1]

Yes, I made Ult. Dr. Hamilton into a dirty old man. I smell countless viagra jokes coming up in future stories.

 

[Bounce]

We should introduce him to Supergirl then.

 

[Red_Robin77]

Won't be here for a week, but finally got my first post up, so it's all good. If there's a problem with me using Caulder very briefly, then tell me and I'll edit.
