The Ultimate DC RPG - Season III: Sign-Up/OOC Thread

How did you know the customary Christmas greeting of Byrd's family?
 
So I've been looking into this for a while and really want to join. Just having a little trouble deciding who I want to play. Hopefully should have an app up soon.
 
The next installment of Superboy will be slightly delayed while I work through some writer's block.
 
The **** is up with you and you accounts?!
 
I'm gonna get a final Cuborg post up this weekend to finish his origin arc and then I'm dropping him. He's keeping my attention away from getting back to Sinestro and Boy Blue.
 
Edited out the first post of my "Five Years Ago..." storyarc that I had planned way back towards the beginning of the season, and am setting the stage for something else.
 
Finally got a Sinestro post up. Will be posting more regularly with him.
 
Writer's block conquered.

We now resume your regularly scheduled Superboy posts.
 
I made a couple of edits to my last two Penguin posts...instead of a character named the Sheik...I decided to change it to someone a bit more known in the Batman Universe [BLACKOUT]Sir Edmund Dorrance The King Snake[/BLACKOUT].
 
Yeah, there's no excuse for it taking me that long to get a post up.
 
Hey gang...just to let you all know I'm not sure how much I will be posting over the next couple of days.

I have a cold and I started Physical Therapy for my lower back which is putting me in a lot of pain!

I will try to post but if I seem to fall off a bit please understand I have no intentions of quitting any RPGs...right now though all I can think is, "When can I take my next pain pill or dose of cold meds?"

Thanks.

Gotta do whatchoo gotta do, man. No worries.

In other news, the Parasite's here and he's gonna eat the Atom.
 
It probably is.

(I could swear that exact same joke was made seven years ago.)
 
Managed to get a Hex post up a month after my last one. But it's cool, nobody really gives a ****.

I actually do.

I enjoy writing and playing these games with you all, and it's a chance for us to be the ones who control the fates of these characters for a while. I love the back and forth between characters and the exchange of very creative ideas. It's also really nice to see a name other than mine on the board.

I know we all have our reasons for not being able to post (reality does get in the way and there are emergencies that take priority), but the fact that we are still trying to make these games work is enough reason for me to stick around.
 
Sinestro post will be up tonight.

As well as me reading through the game and catching up with other people's posts. I'm not going to kid myself and say I'm going to keep up with Cyborg and Boy Blue, so consider them dropped. But I'd like to get involved with others in the game, so once I read through the thread and get caught up, I may consider picking someone up who's more central to the current action.
 
Real life is ***** slapping the hell out of me right now so I don't think there's any way that I can avoid doing this because I just can't see when I'm going to have time to post regularly for at least the next couple of months.

As such, I am dropping out. I'll be back in April (hopefully).

Someone fill up Krypto's water bowl for me in the meantime.

New app, barring any objection from Andy, who I've PMed about this.

THE NEW ULTIMATE DC RPG
Character Application

.Character you wish to portray: The Changeling

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

.Powers and physical attributes: The Changeling has the ability to take the form of any animal that he has seen in print or in person. While in animal form, Changeling retains his human intelligence and the ability of speech, as well as gaining all the abilities of the animal he has become. Each transformation takes merely the blink of an eye, and he can change from one animal to another just as quickly.

His ever-shifting bio structure also grants him a powerful healing factor, as well as peak-human strength, speed, and agility in his default human-like form.

.Origin and backstory (as you see it): The teenager known as The Changeling was born in a government laboratory as the first and only successful birth in the Animalia Project, which was designed to make the ultimate soldier, able to survive any terrain by tapping into the abilities of the animals residing in said area. The genetically crafted child was born with green skin and hair for unknown reasons, and was never named, other than Changeling.

He was raised on a secret government facility, and it was obvious that the boy was easy going and intelligent, even from a very early age. However, as his powers began to manifest, it was clear the scientists of the project had made a mistake. Changeling did not merely access the powers of the animals he thought of, he actually transformed into a green version of that animal.

Still, the science team continued tests on the boy, trying to isolate the ability to gain the attributes of the animals rather than the form itself. After a time, the boy realized he was no longer the favored son, and it was obvious he was going to be replaced at some point. His easy going nature, while intact, he hid from the scientists, becoming a lonely recluse in the station, only interacting with others during his many scientific tests.

Now, Changling, a sixteen year old boy, yearns to escape to the outside world and to meet friends that he has never had. He may also discover that there is more to his power than merely the science that brought him into this world.

.The burning question - Why this character?: Well, I was looking for a character I could really take a hold of. It didn't work out too well with Cyborg and Boy Blue, and has worked with Sinestro. I think this can be another character I can latch onto. I like his outlook in life, and fits with my writing style.

.How will this version of your character differ from others? How will it be Ultimate?: Well, first of all it gets rid of the dumb "got bit by a monkey" origin I've always found laughable, and turns Changeling/Beast Boy into a military science experiment. It will drive him to be even more of an outsider, having no parents and being raised in basically a lab his entire life to this point. But he'll still be a fairly happy-go-lucky guy once he gets acclimated into the real world.

.What do you believe you can bring to the RPG?: Another member of the Teen Titans, and what I hope will be an interesting journey of discovery.

.Provide a short sample post as your desired character, in three paragraphs or more:

I swing from tree to tree, getting my fun in for the day. I've always loved being a gorilla. It's probably my favorite transformation so far. The raw power and size I gain with it is amazing to me, and yet I'm agile enough to climb as high as I can in my out-door yard.

Climbing to the highest tree in the pen, I peer out into the blue sky, wondering what else is out there. Sure I've read the history books they gave me. I know what the world looks like out there and how to got to the point the human race is now. But I don't know what the people are like. I don't know what it's like to ride a roller coaster or kiss a girl. And for that, I hate it here.

"Changeling," one of the scientists calls from the PA system in the outdoor area. "We need you for your daily tests, son."

Son. How dare they. I'm not their son. I'm a product of science. Calling me anything different is an insult. An insult I won't stand for much longer.

"Be right down!" I call back, changing into a flying squirrel and floating down to the grassy land below.

.Preferred roster pic? (No preference, and one will be chosen for you):
