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

[Saved]

If you're not in the Holiday arc, and you're not in the Sta'rro arc, good luck figuring out where your characters are.

 

[Batman]

It was the culmination of a 10 month arc that had more twist and turns in it than MB's penis.

...More?

 

[Bounce]

Yeah, so I totally fail.

Blackberries are the worst invention ever. Assuming my job gets off my back for 5 minutes, there will be a Lor post. I'm not going to promise today though because they were being *****es until 1am last night and so far this has not been a good morning.

 

[Byrd Man]

Blackest Night is over. Done with Sinestro.

Screen name: Byrd Man

Character you wish to portray: Det. Charles Victor "Vic" Sage/The Question

Hero, villain, or walking the line?: Hero

Powers and physical attributes: No powers, but Sage has a keen detective mind and is skilled at Martial Arts.

Origin and backstory (as you see it):

Born in Hub City, Charles Victor Sage had an ordinary childhood and family. Graduating from high school, Vic spent a few years moving around the country, working odd jobs and trying to find a purpose for his life. He was working as a security guard in Opal City when he answered a classified ad to join the Gotham City Police Department. After a few years working as a patrolman, Sage was sent downtown to work for the Criminal Investigations Division's Sexual Victims Unit. A sucessful five year career in SVU lead to a transfer to the big leagues: Homicide.

He got married to a beautiful woman, but she didn't realize he was married to the job beforehand. She divorced him when he got in so deep that she only saw him at breakfast as a hopeless slump of a man. He'd made himself invest so hard in the job because he had to pick up all the slack from the corrupt cops. He knew there were good men in the force, but there were so little of them compared to the many corrupt that he couldn't stand it. He knew he had to go beyond the law. He found himself with a murder case, which couldn't be solved by any lawful means. When he dragged in the suspects their allies in the force dragged them right back out. He waited till dark, using a balaclava to hide himself, and broke into the suspect's house and beat the answers out of him. The suspect handed himself in the next day. Sage had beaten corruption, and took it upon himself to continue the mission, to win every case, lawful or not. The next day he broke into Star Labs, hoping to find something to aide his crusade. Inside, he found a prosthetic skin, that could bind to your face with the addition of a gas. He stole as much as the gas as possible and took the prosthetic, making himself a new identity. He was The Question.

Now, after a long investigation with Lt. Edward Nygma, in which he utilized his Question persona to get answers, Sage has finally caught the serial killer known as Holiday.


The burning question - Why this character?: I loved playing Vic. With as drab and gloomy Ult. Gotham is, I think we need a humorous vigilante out on the streets. I only dropped him because I felt he'd work better as an NPC with my Holiday storyline. With that wrapping up, I'm back.

How will this version of your character differ from others? How will it be Ultimate?: This version of Q is a cop, not a journalist. Also, as Q, he's not as effective as Batman and Red Hood when it comes to fighting crime, often surviving on pure luck.

What do you believe you can bring to the RPG?: Decent RPer with experience

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

​

The sun is slowly setting as I look out my apartment window. I take the last few drags off my cigarette as I toss it out the window and turn to the couch. I nap for a few hours to kill some time. The digital clock next to me reads 12:30 AM.

After stretching and taking a leak, I walk into the bedroom and pull all my stuff from the closet.

I take my time putting on my suit. The shirt and pants, shoes and tie. I slip my shoulder holster and slide my back up .45 into the holster. I don't really like to use guns, but it always pays to come to a dance prepared.

I apply the mask to my face and finish off the outfit with my fedora and coat.

It's fully dark by the time I climb down the fire escape and hit the streets.

While the mask is cool as hell and hides my identity it has a big downside: it's hard to smoke a cigarette when you don't have any lips.

​

**************


​

I hop in my car and hit Bennett Beach around 2. From across the street, I get a good look at Piotr Romanov's place. Its a decent two story house. The light in the living room goes out as he shuts and locks the door behind him. I stay down and watch as he hops into his SUV and hauls ass down the street.

I count off a half minute before I start my car and follow. Romanov hits the expressway and keeps on driving into Bayview. I hang back and watch Romanov pass the cargo containers. He comes to a stop next to a few other cars.

Pulling out my binoculars, I scope out the scene. There's Romanov with Mikahel Agron, the Chechen's number two man. Things get interesting as Carmine Falcone's lesbian daughter, Sofia Gigante, comes on to the scene. The appearance of drug kingpins Jeff and Mike Skeevers makes it down right skin-tingling.

According to the underworld intel, the Skeevers only truck with Maroni or Cobblepot's people when it came to getting their drugs. If they're going to the Russians and the Falcones, I smell treachery, which is no small feat considering I don't have a nose right now.

Slipping out of my car, I creep through the shadows and try to listen in on the meeting.

Sofia: "You made a wise choice coming to us. Maroni is a snake. And as you can see, we actually have efficient muscle. Unlike Maroni's drunken Irishmen."

Jeff Skeevers: "What do you say we wrap this up right now. Me and Mike are prepared to buy a 100 kilos of coke and dope right now, straight up in cash."

My kingdom for a microphone.

Uh-oh. I feel it. Tickling the back of my throat. Don't you dare. Don't you dare. No....no

"*Cough*"

Agron: "What the **** was that?!"

Guns drawn, footsteps coming my way. I see Sofia's fat foot and kick hard, driving her to the ground.

"Oh, ****. It's Rorschach!"

I'm running through the shadows, dodging gunfire.

"I'm not Rorschach!" I yell as I hold on to my hat and dive behind a cargo container for cover.​

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

Yeah. See above.

 

[Batman]

You are Approved.

Least I can do for making you wait on a Hal post.

 

[Catman_prb]

You're still playing Hal! After I pushed the Blackest Night arc so Hal could be in the League?! Damn you!!!!

 

[Batman]

He'll be there soon enough. I've arranged for another player to take over once I've done one last post, which'll be written sometime this week to get it out of the way.

 

[Catman_prb]

It's cool, we all know that Kyle's the superior Lantern anyway.

 

[Byrd Man]

Guy FTW.

 

[Catman_prb]

So that's what happened to Kyle and Hal! They were mysteriously blown up to make way for a ginger Lantern.

 

[Byrd Man]

 

[Byrd Man]

And with that, the Ultimate Holiday arc is done.

 

[Eddie Brock]

Everyone take notes:

Byrd's post pre-Irish music: solid 8.
Byrd's post post-Irish music: 9.5.

That, my friends, is the power of a good Irish melody.

 

[Byrd Man]

Don't thank me, thank The Wire. I lifted the post concept and the music from the show.

 

[Batman]

Sorry for the slight bunnying, Andy. Just needed to get things moving along.

 

[Eddie Brock]

For anyone wondering, I'm continuing with the trend of taking some liberties with the Star'ro invasion. When enough progenies get together, they can control uninfected people in the surrounding area - hence why not all of the brainwashed students have progenies on their faces.

Hope no one has a problem with that.

 

[Andy C.]

Yeah, I think a lot of us are taking some liberties with where the Sta'rro stuff is going. Playing fast and loose with the invasion is cool with me, as long as none of it contradicts what's already established.

 

[Catman_prb]

Everything is open to interpretation

 

[Eddie Brock]

Everything is open to interpretation

Including my sexuality.

 

[Catman_prb]

I'll be gone until Friday - spaceguys, feel free to bunny J'onn.

 

[MST3K 4ever]

A few things about my recent Atom post.

1) The Audio EMP has been fired so that should have an effect on the Star'ros on earth.

2) Atom figured out a way to get word to Superman

3) Sorry I changed my font yet again...I couldn't find one I really liked and I didn't want to use one that someone lese was using. The one in this post is the one I am settling on.

4) In my next post I have a way to bring Lex Luthor into the fold.

 

[SenseiofCheese]

FWOOSH, mother****ers!

. Application .

. THE NEW ULTIMATE DC RPG .
Character Application

.Screen name: SenseiofCheese

.Character you wish to portray: Thaal Sinestro

.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. Suddenly, Blackest Night fell. William Hand, or the monster that used to be William Hand, mysteriously reappeared. Laying waste to countless Lanterns and their homeworld of Oa, Hand threw the Corps into disarray. But, at last , he was defeated by the joined efforts of a somewhat misfit group of Lanterns.

Proven right and redeemed, Sinestro will now do all in his power to help rebuild the Lantern Corps to what it was before, ushering it into a new, Brightest Day, hopeful for the future.

.The burning question - Why this character?: When I first applied for William Hand and paired him up with Sinestro for his origin story I felt a desire to just play Sinestro. If I recall I made an attempt at it a while back but got swept up and lost in the Blackest Night, which I had thrown myself in the middle of. Now, seeing as the Blackest Night is over and Byrd, who ushered Sinestro through that inaugural arc, has let him go I decided to try my luck once more.

.How will this version of your character differ from others? How will it be Ultimate?: Aside from the origin being different, I have no immediate plan to rush straight to making him the villain many would. Instead I'm going to follow Byrd's cue, making him very much a hero who could very well fall prey to his own demons, but could also fight them tooth and nail.

.What do you believe you can bring to the RPG?: Some of that good old Icelandic charm. And a massive penis.

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

We face extinction.

The Corps lies shattered. Countless brave souls perished against William Hand, a man I once called brother, and his legion of undead. The Guardians of Oa, our leaders, are lost to the abyss. Some say what happened is due in large part to the Guardians' refusal to listen. That had they listened to the words of a raving Lantern, 5 terran years ago, some of the destruction that followed could have been avoided.

But I do not. There is no use in obsessing over the past. We could just as well lay down and die right now.

We face extinction.

"In brightest day,"

The Corps lies shattered.

"In blackest night."

Countless souls have perished.

"No evil shall escape my sight."

But there is hope. As long as there is one, single power ring out there, shining against the black, there is hope.

"Let those who worship evil's might,"

We will rebuild. We will rise up. And once more we will bring order to the galaxy.

"Beware my power..."

Now let's get to work.

"Green Lantern's light!"
