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

[Batman]

...

Well, there goes my app for Green Hood.

 

[Saved]

Real identity - Norman Osborn?! Son of a gun, he's hopping realities again!? /conspiracy

 

[Andy C.]

We should just go head and change the title of this forum to "Gotham City: Featuring other heroes."

You think it's bad now, you should've seen the first UDC game.

 

[Saved]

You should've seen Why So Serious! Haha, oh it was great. It was all based off the Nolan movies, as if it were Gotham but in the real world so all the characters were feasible and believeable and the cops were just as important as Batman, so it had that perspective like Gotham Central and-

...

.......

I made myself sad, again.

 

[Byrd Man]

As long as Hush doesn't don a metal helmet and fight crime under an alias in the format of "[add color here] Hood", it's fine by me. Just make sure we keep the inmates at arkham straight (me, you, and Gallagher) otherwise continuity will look like one of picasso's paintings.

Do like I did with the GCPD and create...an overview!

....**** you for even bringing that up.

 

[Gallagher]

WSS? Still hurts.

 

[Optikal]

What was Why So Serious?

 

[Spike_x1]

Being primarily a Superman fan, it was something that I was easily able to pass up.

 

[Andy C.]

Same. If I wanted gritty realism, i'd watch the news.

 

[Saved]

Why so serious?

 

[Spike_x1]

Not exactly being a fan of Nolan's "realism" in the first place also helped me resist the urge to play.

 

[Gallagher]

Good god I missed writing Crane.

 

[Green Lantern]

.Screen name: Green Lantern
.Character you wish to portray: Richard "The Dragon" Yuanjia, a.k.a. Richard Dragon

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

.Powers and physical attributes: None; The Dragon is a powerful Triad boss, with access to a good amount of resources. Richard is a master martial artists, one of the best in the world, who keeps himself in top physical condition. The Dragon is a highly skilled tactician, and, despite his ruthless demeanor, possesses an almost calm presence in even the most intense of situations.


.Origin and backstory (as you see it): The son of a Triad crime lord in Hong Kong, Richard Yuanjia grew up into the hard lifestyle of organized crime in China. His father thought the world of his only son, and so, since he was old enough to stand, he was trained in the martial arts. Richard's intelligence and learning ability became apparent early on, as did the cold, calculated ruthlessness he displayed as he proved himself to his father and his Triad brothers as he started out as a common enforcer, despite his pedigree.

Richard was brutal in carrying out his father's orders, often making bloody examples from those who crossed his family. His cold-blooded reputation and martial arts mastery soon spread throughout the Chinese underground, earning himself the nickname, The Dragon.
Richard eventually made his way up the ranks to serve directly under his father as his Deputy. With business growing stagnant in Hong Kong and China, Richard's father had ideas to move his operations to the United States. But there were those under him who didn't approve of that plan, thinking it was a sign of weakness to leave China. Some of the captains tried to take control of the Triad, and killed Richard's father.

Enraged at their treachery, the Dragon went on a killing spree, taking command of those who remained loyal to his father's Triad and viciously murdering those who had a hand in his father's death. Finally, when their Triad's civil war ended, Richard Dragon emerged the victor and fully took control of all of his father's dealings. Realizing his father's dream, Richard Yuanjia has moved his operation into Gotham city, but still maintains a presence in Hong Kong.

The Dragon's Triad has been silent since coming into the city only three weeks ago, spending that time gathering information on their new rivals as well as quietly settling in Gotham's Chinatown, right under the Maroni family's nose. It won't be long before Richard makes his presence known to the rest of Gotham's crime families. And when he does, they will come to learn why they call him The Dragon...

.The burning question - Why this character?: I have plans with the Triad and Dick Grayson already, and it wouldn't be fair to use such a well defined villain that JB left us as just another NPC...

.How will this version of your character differ from others? How will it be Ultimate?: A villainous Chinese crimelord.

.What do you believe you can bring to the RPG?: My own grandp... I mean arch enemy.
.Provide a sample post as the character you wish to portray, in three paragraphs or more:

"What did you just say?!? I don't think I heard you correctly. What happened to you?"

The Dragon strolled with authority into the decimated warehouse that had been the training ground for his ninja enforcers. The plate glass window was shattered, and the wall perpendicular to it was a scorched hole. When he had arrived minutes ago, all five of his trainees had been unconscious, and the first one that had woken up had given him the most asinine story he had ever heard.

"Some punk drove a bike through the window, and then got some cheap shots off on us."

"Some punk, huh? Well, I guess I'll have to review the tapes to see who needs to be punished, won't I?"

"Yes sir." the trainee mumbled, holding his shattered elbows tenderly.

"Until then, I don't train you to be losers."

The Dragon came up behind his soldier and swept his feet out from under him. The man fell directly on his injured arms and bellowed in severe pain. Richard then walked over the fallen man, taking the time to step on each arm.

"The next time you won't lose."

And people got onto me for playing The Joker in the last game.

Approved.

 

[Mr. Majestic]

Has the Green Arrow been establish?

 

[Byrd Man]

Yessir. I think EBJ played Ollie long enough to have him become GA.

 

[Mr. Majestic]

I’m go head and drop Midnighter, I never even posted as him anyways. Figured I’d try something a bit different.

Application .

. THE NEW ULTIMATE DC RPG .
Character Application

.Screen name: Mr. Majestic

.Character you wish to portray: Connor Hawke Jr a.k.a Arsenal

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

.Powers and physical attributes: Connor has no powers but since he is a student of the Kyudo discipline he is a extraordinary fine archer.His skills in martial arts is way above average. A unique skill of his is he is able to duplicate the skill of others. He has been trained in Japanese martial arts and is an excellent hand-to-hand combatant. Has also been trained in blind fighting

.Origin and backstory (as you see it):Connor is the son of Connor Hawke Senior and Sandra Hawke. After finding out that her husband was responsible for getting Oliver Queen thrown in jail she immediately cut all ties with her husband and took their 8 year old son with her.

After leaving her husband, Sandra and her son went from place to place not really finding a place to call home. At one period they found a stable home at her father’s cattle ranch in Idaho. From there Connor had grown to become a problem child, being impulsive and undisciplined. Not wanting her son to fallow in his father foot steps she finally told her son the truth about what kind of man his father is, but she didn’t stop there. She knew that it would take more than information on Connor’s father to help change him to become that man she knows he can be. So she sent her son to NapaValley where Connor attended Ashram Monastery. There Connor met Master Jansen.

Master Jansen raised Connor for the next nine years. Connor spent all his efforts becoming the best student he could be, a master of Aikido and a Kyudo archer. He did this so he could not only become a better man than his father but also be strong enough to bring his father to justice for the crimes he did to Mr. Queen and all of the other people who has got in his way over the years.

.The burning question - Why this character?: Since the Green Arrow has been established already I had to chose someone else and decided to go with Connor instead of Roy Harper. I figured I can develop a good story with Connor since in this Universe Connor Hawke Senior has control over Queen Industries (Or maybe had. I haven’t got that far in Eddie Brocks posts.) It will make for a good turn of events to see how this all plays out since my character doesn’t want anything to do with his father.

.How will this version of your character differ from others? How will it be Ultimate?: Well to begin with he is not the son of the Green Arrow. Instead he is the son of the man who framed Oliver Queen so he could keep the Queen’s company. Of course my version of Arsenal is not Roy and also my version will be in his teens. I’m thinking maybe 17.

.What do you believe you can bring to the RPG?: I love doing this, even though im not the best I give it my all (sometimes) I feel like I can bring some good story telling on board. I post a good amount if I’m not doing an arc when I have to wait for someone else to post. Heck if Eddie Brock returns I could even make a good side kick.

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

“Master Jansen?” I say surprise to see him enter my room.

He says nothing but drops newspaper articles and magazines with Green Arrow on the cover.

“I can explain master.”

Before I could continue he steps to my side and place his hand on my shoulder.

“There is no need for you to give an explanation for your actions. I have always known what was in your heart since I first seen you as a child. My only concern is the reason you wish to walk this path.”

Before replying I take a brief moment.

“Master before my feet ever touch one step in front of these doors, I always seen myself as one who didn’t know where his destiny may lay. Being so I became a trouble soul not caring about any consequences my actions may have caused. My mother knew of what road I was going down so she told me the stories of my father. He was down a path I myself was fallowing. Thanks to myself for telling me the truth about him I knew that I needed to change my ways…” I then kneel down and pull out a suitcase from under my bed. “When I came here I felt that I was home but as the years went by I felt that I was missing something in my life. After getting these newspaper articles I knew what it was…” I then pop the suitcase open and grab the item inside. “… I had to do. I must bring honor back to my name and to do so I must bring my father to justice. With this I will.”

I then turn around showing Master Jansen the custom that I will wear to fight those who have wrong the Innocent. ​

. THE NEW ULTIMATE DC RPG .
Character Application

.Screen name: Byrd Man

.Character you wish to portray: Thaal Sinestro, Green Lantern of Sector 1417

.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. But, as is known, William Hand is back and has brought the dead with him.

.The burning question - Why this character?: I've played a few GLs, Guy, Hal...Guy....and Guy. I just want to portray the GLC from another angle and show Sinestro, a good man who believes in order at all costs, get dragged down by his demons.

.How will this version of your character differ from others? How will it be Ultimate?: Sensei's origin is pretty different than the mainstream Sinestro.


.What do you believe you can bring to the RPG?: A semi-decent RPer who's been around awhile...but not that long! I'm still young and hip!

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

Betrassus
Space Sector 1417

"Bow down before us!" The small, bald-headed alien exclaims. He floats among the crowd of people, six of his commrades floating alongside him.

"We are the Children of the White Lobe!" Another one proclaims.

"The Lobe's will be done."

The close their eyes, preparing to explode themselves with psychokinetic force.

"If you will not bow down before us, then you will suffer!"

"I think not."

Their eyes open in surpise. The terrorists are now contained in seven emerald bubbles.

"Children of the White Lobe, you are hereby placed under arrest for intergalactic terrorism in volation of the Alpha Centauri Treaty of 71954.12-55. You will follow me to Oa to stand trial for your crimes."

has Mr Freeze been established? it hink i have ideas for him

 

[Batman]

Victor Fries has been said to be a scientist at Bruce Wayne's company, Gothtech. He developed nitrogen bombs that Batman later used to douse a fire. That's about the extent of it.

And Byrd is approved for Sinestro.

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.

And I enjoy playing RPGs
.Provide a sample post as the character you wish to portray, in three paragraphs or more:
Victor could see his breath in the air, the room was cold, the liquid nitrogen made the room cold. He resisted shivering, the project he was working on couldn’t be fouled up, it was the freese rifle he had been working on. This would get him a raise for sure, maybe then he could return the money had to embezzle to buy Nora’s engagement ring. He used the sodering gun to fuse two wires together.
“There we go.” Victor sat up straight in his chair at the workplace. “Finally finished it, Mr Wayne should be impressed by this one. He did seem intrigued in those cryonic grenades I made.” Victor took a cloth from his drawer and wiped his forhead. The phone rang startling Victo slightly. He picked it up out of it’s pocket “Yes Nora?” Victor spoke into the phone. “Yes babe, ill be home soon, just need to finish up a few things” Victor looked at the clock, it was nearly midnight, another late night, he smiled at the thought of going home and finally proposing to Nora, then getting some sleep after consimating the engagement. “Ill talk to you in a bit babe, see you then, I love you.” Vcitor put the phone down, just a few more touches and the core of the gun, the main part, the cold generator, would be done. Victor picked the sodering tool back up and started back into the mechanics.

Victor sat back up, satisfied at his work convicned it could wait til morning. He got up, gathered his things, and started out the door, as he walked down the hall he noticed some ligth coming in through the windows.
“Damnit” Victor mumbled under his breath. “Another all nighter, Nora wont be happy when I see her tonight. Victor solomonly walked out of the Gothtech building, cathcing a cab to his apartment, small, one bedroom, it had a kithcen and dining room separate from each other and a living room. “Home sweet home” Victor let his breifcase drop to the floor. Hed done this almost every night since he had started constructing the gun. “Things have gotta change.” Victor opened a drawer in his bedroom, he reached in drawing a black velvety box, he opened it, the diamond twinkled in the sunlight creeping in through the blinds. Vcitor smiled.
