Awww ****, Cats, that post kind of made me regret killing Saint Walker

Then I remembered his fish face and I rejoiced.

 

[Johnny Blaze]

So, I take it you'll be turning the Mad Hatter into a cop?

 

[Spike_x1]

Bane's gonna be a cop.
Just you wait. He'll be like Hightower from Police Academy.

 

[Byrd Man]

Bane's gonna be a cop.
Just you wait. He'll be like Hightower from Police Academy.

So does that make Joker Steve Guttenberg?

 

[Spike_x1]

Sure.

Now we just need to figure out who's going to be the sound effects guy...

 

[Johnny Blaze]

And Batman is Lt. Harris.

[Johnny Blaze]

Well, let's see if this gets approved.



.Screen name: Johnny Blaze

.Character you wish to portray: Mordru, the Dark Lord

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

.Powers and physical attributes: Mordru is a Lord of Chaos and possesses vast magical abilities. His only limit seems to be his own imagination. Mordru's true form is that of a ethereal parasite, that attaches itself to a host. The current host is the body of the Atlantean mage, Arion.

.Origin and backstory (as you see it): Mordru, imprisoned in the Rock of Eternity, was freed when the Spectre went on his mad rampage and attacked the wizard, Shazam. Laying low until the Spectre's Day of Vengeance was finished, Mordru took control of the mantle of Fate as Hector Hall was still imprisoned by the Spectre's magic. The Dark Lord then proceeded to recruit other villains to his cause. This Dark Alliance spread fear throughout the hero community, killing many heroes and coming close to carrying out their plans for conquest and the death of all capes.
But they were defeated when Black Adam discovered the that Mordru was the one who destroyed Khandaq in order to get him to join the Alliance. Freeing Fate from his prison, the heroes quickly turned the tides as the Dark Alliance did what they could not, and defeated themselves.

In a final struggle with Fate, Mordru was banished from that dimension for all time...

The Dark Lord, crossing the infinite earths trying to find his way back home, came to a planet inhabited by the heroes he knew, but also ones he did not recognize. Mordru needed magical power to cross dimensions again, so he went about hunting down mystics and magical being, killing them and absorbing their essense. Eventually he was confronted by the likes of the Juggernaut, Thor, and the Flash. After killing the Odinson, Mordru was finally stopped when the young mystic, Zatanna, forced the Dark Lord through a vortex with the help of her teacher, Dr. Anthony Druid. Sadly, Dr. Druid was forced into the portal with him...

Now, the Dark Lord finds himself deposited on a world like the one he seeks, only different. It is not the Earth he is looking for, but the Dark Lord is nothing if not adaptable. This Earth, ripe with opportunities, will most definitely work.

.The burning question - Why this character?: He was the first character I've ever played in the RPGs, and I think the only character I've played in different RPGs too. I've played him as he was in the comics. A unique being, with no other duplicate existing in any other universe.
As such, the very same Mordru I used in DC, way back in season II, is the same that I played in the OU back in it's first season. He is traveling from RPG to RPG, all the while looking to make his way back to the main DCU reality to exact his revenge on the heroes who defeated him many years ago.

.How will this version of your character differ from others? How will it be Ultimate?: That's the only real catch, it won't be. It'll be the same Mordru that I played in the DCU RPG and the OU RPG.

.What do you believe you can bring to the RPG?: A unique character, and a villain that could give the heroes an immediate threat to tangle with.

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

The vortex slams shut, depositing the Dark Lord unceromoniously onto his backside onto the cold desert sand. Mordru growled to himself as he slowly stood. Many scorpions and a few vipers that were near began to scurry away from the Dark Lord's presense as he serveyed the scene.
The full moon beat down on him as he closed his eyes and breathed deeply.

"Well, this certainly feels promising", Mordru said to himself.
"But, then again, so did the last world."

A groaning sound caught Mordru's attention.

The Dark Lord looked behind him to see Dr. Druid slowly coming to. The doctor's head was bloody, and next to him sat a large rock with a red stain.

"Apparently you're new to dimension travel", Mordru smiled as he walked over to kneel next to the man.
"Always watch out for the landing."

The Dark Lord's hand shot out and wrapped around Druid's throat. Green energy coursed from Mordru's hand and into Dr. Druid's body, causing him to light up like a lightbulb. Druid went wide eyed and screamed.

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

 

[Catman_prb]

Holy ****.

EDIT: I mean approved. Unless MB has any concerns.

 

[Batman]

Approved.

Edit: Especially if Cats has any concerns.

. THE NEW ULTIMATE DC RPG .
Character Application

.Screen name: Catman_prb

.Character you wish to portray: Kyle Rayner

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

.Powers and physical attributes: Power ring and the usual mess of powers that go with that.

.Origin and backstory (as you see it): On Earth, Kyle Rayner was a delinquent child, constantly running away from his abusive parents. He was a member of a variety of gangs, some more dangerous than others. After getting involved with a series of petty crimes, Kyle got cold feet when his gang stabbed a patrolling police officer. He tried to keep the gang away, or at least to call an ambulance, but the group turned on him and beat him half to death. Meanwhile, the now dead police officer was actually an undercover Lantern, who's ring found the nearest person of great willpower.

.The burning question - Why this character?: I need to carry on with the Lantern protaganists during the Blackest Night.

.How will this version of your character differ from others? How will it be Ultimate?: Kyle will be more of a soldier - the new GL training program is extensive.

.What do you believe you can bring to the RPG?: Penis

.Provide a sample post as the character you wish to portray, in three paragraphs or more:
The Fallen were everywhere, a huge wave of writhing flesh. Kyle did his best to slash through them with his ring, but the green light didn't seem to damage them at all. In fact, it was only his experience in kicking the crap out of whatever he needed to that meant that he wasn't currently being eaten by a dead Lantern that looked like something out of Star Wars. Their bones seemed more brittle, perhaps by age, but Kyle had managed to snap the jaw of that creature right off.

And as suddenly as they had appeared, they were gone. He was well aware of standing next to Kilowog, one of the greatest Lanterns of all time. All that remained was Saint Walker, suspended in the middle of the battlefield, a black spike driven through his chest. Those bright blue eyes looked straight into his, and Walker attempted a strained smile.

"I hope you learn something from this,"

And then he was gone in a flash of blue light. All that remained was a blue ring, which Kyle quickly reached out and grabbed, sliding it into a discrete pocket in his uniform. He looked at Kilowog, who seemed to be stunned, but quickly snapped out of it.

"All right you poozers, you just survived the second battle of Ysmault. Now someone contain Sinestro, pick up the dead and then let's haul ass back to Oa," he shouted, his voice reaching every Lantern in the sector.

"You too kid," he said, patting Kyle on the back heavily.​

[Batman]

I knew it. I knew it, you British bastard.

Approved.

 

[RamsesIII]

I'm sorry. A communist Frankenstein seemed like such a good idea at the time. Unfortunately, I don't think he fits well into the Ultimate DC universe. I feel like kind of a tool, but I think I'm going to drop the character. I guess it wasn't very likely anyone was going to try to ultimatize Frankenstein, was it?

Anyway, I'll have another app up soon. The Question is a very tempting character...

 

[MST3K 4ever]

I have been informed that Red robin 77 has dropped The Question so I am preparing to move to a quick wrap-up concering our arc. I should have a post up in the next day or two...by Saturday Night at the latest.

 

[trustyside-kick]

The next MicroHero I plan to work on is Saint Walker. Cats, is there anything you specifically want on him or do I have free reign?

EDIT: And I am aware you just had him killed, but I wanted to make MicroHeroes for all the characters ever introduced in UDC much like I've recently done over at CAH. This is the kind of game where we, the players, make the entire universe. So it makes it more special to remember the characters briefly used, used, or are deceased.

 

[Batman]

If you need me to help out with any, trusty, feel free to ask. I've been looking for a good micro project.

 

[trustyside-kick]

Not really sure how well that'd work out given you don't talk to me on MSN anymore and I hate to go back and forth in posts and PMs.

 

[Catman_prb]

Well I'd like him older than his comics counter part, but apart from that, go nuts.

 

[Red_Robin77]

.Screen name: Red_Robin77

.Character you wish to portray: Booster Gold (Michael Jon Carter)

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

.Powers and physical attributes: Booster possesses a suit from the 23rd Century, that gives him enhanced strength, flight, power blasts, energy shields and the ability to travel through time.

.Origin and backstory (as you see it): Michael Jon Carter was a star runner for Metropolis University, nicknamed Booster for his speed. He was a hero to the school, winning many races between schools for them, even gaining a gold medal for one effort. However, in a vital race for the school, Carter is disqualified for a false start. He instantly loses all respect from his fellow students for being disqualified and becomes completely unpopular. After that, Carter wore his only gold medal everywhere, to keep a memory of the glory days with him. After the incident, Carter found he only had one friend, Richard Hunter, or Rip as Carter called him.

Rip believes that he's created a suit that is capable of travelling through time, called a Sentient Kinetical Environment Enabler of Time and Space (S.K.E.E.T.S for short). Rip explains to Carter that the suit will be capable of travelling through time when he retrieves one final piece that can only be found in the Metropolis Museum. He gets Carter to help him, saying he can be popular again with the suit. Relunctantly, Carter helped Rip to get the piece, which Rip fitted immediately. The computer in the suit came alive, but soon after security catch up with them and Rip is caught. With just the suit with him, Carter is told by the suit's computer to put on the suit, which activated an emergency protocol, sending Carter hurtling through time.

.The burning question - Why this character?: Booster is a character I'm very fond of and I feel like I've finally come up with an ultimate version I'm happy with.

.How will this version of your character differ from others? How will it be Ultimate?: This Booster didn't choose to travel through time, he was forced to, or would have gotten caught. He's completely lost and his goal is to try and get home and isn't focused on being a celebrity until he can fix S.K.E.E.T and get back to the 23rd Century.

.What do you believe you can bring to the RPG?: I can bring somebody eager to try something new with a character that I feel will be fun.

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

I skid down the corridor of the Metropolis Musuem, Rip behind my carrying his suit as he fiddles with it.

"Hurry up!" I yell back to my friend as I try and figure out where the exit is.

"I'm nearly done!" he calls to me, trying to keep up as well as tamper with the suit.

"You can finish it when we get out of this damn place!"

"There!"

I spin around to see Rip holding up his suit triumphantly and begins to speed up slightly. I can see the faint figures of the security guards catching up with us. I look at any other place to go than the corridor and spot a door to the left of us. I dive towards it and it slides open, Rip following on behind me. I look around at my new surroundings, seeing the Superman exhibit. I look back to Rip quickly as he admires his work on his hands.

"We need to get out of here."

"We can use the suit, let me just activate the onboard computer system and-

<S.K.E.E.T.S ONLINE>

"Woah..."

"I told you it would work!"

<HOW MAY I BE OF SERVICE, MR HUNTER?>

"We need to get-"

Before Rip can finish his sentence, the guards burst in, catching Rip by surprise and make him throw the suit in the air in surprise. I catch it as the grab hold of Rip.

"Get the suit out!"

Instinctively, I run through the exhibit hurriedly, clutching to the suit tightly.

<MAY I RECOMMEND THAT YOU PUT ME ON, SIR?>

Hesitantly, I dive off to a random door and leap into a cupboard. The door slides shut and I squirm into the suit in the tight space, before putting my jacket and medal over the top.

<ACTIVATING EMERGENCY PROTOCOL 1>

Before I know it, everything around me warps and I can see nothing as the cupboard disappears and all the world around me goes silent.

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

 

[Catman_prb]

Approved.

 

[Trigger]

I know people hate giving a summary of what's happening in an active RPG, but I'm thinking of jumping back in and I don't really know what's going on here. What is going on in the Ultimate DC Universe?

 

[Johnny Blaze]

Let's see, off the top of my head, stuff that's still going on...

Superman and Flash are joining together to save the world of Almerac...

The Lanterns are in the thick of it against William Hand and his dead army...

The Joker is beginning his plot to dismantle Gotham...

Bane is quietly stalking his prey, one Bruce Wayne...

Batman is busy barely posting... t:
But, when he does, he's busy trying to take down the mob.

Luthor has some nefarious plot in the works that seemingly has ties to the Watchmen stuff...

The Legion of Superheroes are doing their own thing in the future...

Mordru has arrived in this dimension and is out exploring...


I know I forgot some stuff, so others can fill in the blanks or elaborate for you if they wish.

 

[trustyside-kick]

And Aquaman is singing "Under the Sea" since JB forgot to mention it.
