Can't wait to read what happens next to ULT. Batman

 

[Trigger]

Great post MB. I need to get back to work on my next Conner post. I don't want to keep Hawk dead for too long, and my sub-plot with Ult. Eradicator is starting to hit the wayside.

 

[Batman]

Thanks to all of you. Glad you're liking it... the last thing I want to do is screw up my favorite character.

Anyway, onto buisness...

"Alfred. We're going to need invitations. Lot's of invitations."

Now, I did that to setup for this:

Bruce Wayne will be holding a rather high profile event at Wayne Manor in Gotham. The purpose behind this is to get some much needed interaction going, and to jumpstart the game's activity entirely. So, what I need is for anyone who wants to take part to state that you want to be in it, and I'll figure out a logical excuse for Bruce to invite you. If you're on the list, and... well, don't want to be on it, state that aswell.

The Guest List, So Far:

Perry White (Who will decline, sending Lois Lane and Clark Kent in his place)
Conner Jones (Resident Teen Superhero = Celebrity = Attention, which is what Bruce wants for the event)
Barry Allen (Public Superhero = Celeb)
Dinah Lance (Both Bruce and Batman know her well enough)
Roy Harper (Fellow Billionaire, right?)
Lex Luthor (Same as Harper)
Captain James Gordon (Police Captain Of Gotham City... Likely to bring a certain daughter)
Oswald Cobblepot (NPC... anyone who wants to use him can)
Edward Nigma (An old colleague)

Anyway, I'll add/delete from this list. I won't start this until next week, after the boards are back from matience, so you'll have plenty of time to say if you want a part or not. Nobody's being forced, this is only preliminary so I'll know who to mention. If you're not confirmed by the time the party starts, your character just won't get mentioned... But I'd appreciate confirmation.

Okay? Cool? Okay then.

 

[Green Lantern]

I'm in

 

[The Question]

Mayhaps.

 

[Byrd Man]

Nigma will come, if only to try to kidnap Edmonds, the guy who stole his ideas and sold them to Wayne Tech

Character You Would Like To Play:Steel

Basic History Of The Character: John Henry Irons was named after John Henry. A man who fought the machine, and won. He died, but he won. Irons was a weapons designer, and he designed a very powerful weapon, which killed many people. He quit that job and became a high steel worker. One day he fell off and Superman saved him. Irons vowed to make his life mean something, so he decided to don armor and call himself Steel.

Three Reasons Why You Have Chosen That Character:

1.Steel is a technological genius.

2.He has the coolest armor in the DC universe.

3.He is a close friend of Superman's, and helps him out whenever he can.

What Do You Plan On Doing With This Character As A Person: I plan on showing more of the John Henry Irons character, the helpful aide who cares for the people around him, with frequent help from his Super-Armor.

Two Complete Sentances In Proper English Explaining What You Can Bring To This RPG (As A Player): I can bring additions that can move a story forward and keep it going. I can also show both sides of the characters I play.

Do You Know How To Post Pictures On The Hype?:

yep

Roy Harper (Fellow Billionaire, right?)

Roy in this RPG is infact a billionaire. It's the only way he's able to offord all of his equipment. As well as the secured apartment I have him living in. So he'll be there.

Also, excellent post MB.

 

[Purple Man]

I know I'm not part of this rpg yet, but I was wondering if I could help fill out the guest list for Bruce Waynes party.

I have ideas for how to "ultimatize" these characters and why they would be invited to the party.

The list of characters is: Thomas Blake (Catman), Ted Grant (Wildcat), Winslow Schlott (Toyman), Michael Holt (Mr.Terrific), Hugo Strange, Rick Tyler (Hourman).

I don't know if I'd permnantly want any of these characters. Just have some fun and introduce them to the Ultimate Universe as NPCs.

Let me know what you think.

 

[The BatDude]

Im using Rex Tyler at the moment. It's a bit to soon to bring Rick into the story. Still PM with your ideas about Rick.

 

[Purple Man]

Oops, didn't know that someone was playing Hourman already.

I was just going to say that Rick is paralyzed from the neck down, but is still a brilliant scientist who developed a pill that would fully mobilize him and give him super strength for an hour day. If it lasted any longer he would run the risk of dieing or brain damage.

I'd explore how a crippled person would react to having an hour a day in the body of a super hero. Would he use it selfishly or be heroic?

Good application, but I'm going to have to let The Question decide if it can be accepted or not, since he's playing Superman.

Wildcat and Mr. Terrific have already been introduced.

Ok, sounds good. I guessed that whoever was playing Superman would need to approve it.

 

[Watchman]

Ok I haven't posted in a while and my Metallo story has gone no where,also I didn't I did a good job I'm going to try something very different.

Character You Would Like To Play: Mirror Master

Basic History Of The Character: Mirror Master, real name Evan McCulloch, is part of a group known as The Society and leader of the antihero group known as the Injustice Gang. The Society is an organization based in the U.K which reaches back to the early days of the JSA.

Led by James "Gentlemen" Craddrock he formed the Society. After many years of battle with the JSA Craddrock finally died but somehow still funded the Society but the whole group went underground.

The Society liked what they saw him and gave him technology beyond his dreams. This equipment allows him to tap into the mirror dimension. He he can travel through any reflected surface and use mirrors as weapons. He also sport duel laser pistols.

Three Reasons Why You Have Chosen That Character:

1. I feel that when I ultimize Metallo I didn't really ultimized him. I think this was a much better job.

2. I like the orignal character

3. His powers would be fun to write

What Do You Plan On Doing With This Character As A Person: I think that I'm ultimizing this character in a truely unquie way.

Two Complete Sentances In Proper English Explaining What You Can Bring To This RPG (As A Player): First an interesting villain. Also I belive that this are some creative ideas that can hopefully shape some of this RPG's history.

That's an awsome idea. He became crippled in during a sport which lead him to take his dad's pills, perfect! By the way if you ever want to use Rick just tell me.

Could you give me a quick run down on ultimate Hourman? Also, just out of curiosity, I'd like to know about ultimate Superboy as well.

Any word on letting me give Catman, Hugo Strange, and maybe a couple other characters a test run at the Wayne party?

 

[Trigger]

I'm playing Ultimate Super-Boy, and he's quite literally tied up at the moment. I'm having trouble moving this arc along, but I'll try my hardest to get it moving again. It was supposed to introduce several NPCs (Etrigan, Constantine) and be a lead in to my Ultimate Monarch/Extant story). If you really want to know a bit about Super-Boy (and the tons of NPCs I've gone through ) I'll send you a pm Purple.

 

[Sentry2005]

Hey guys, i'm just checking in. Master Bruce said I could come back if I wanted, and while I am interested, i'm going to see how things go in the Marvel Universe before I commit. Having said that, I was wondering if anyone used Guy after I left, or mentioned him? If so, can you let me know how? I'd like to reserve him. I probably will come back, but not for a couple of weeks.

Character You Would Like To Play: J'onn J'onnz, the Martian Manhunter

Basic History Of The Character: The last survivor of the Martian race, J'onn was accidentally transported to Earth at the end of his planet's civil war. A war which wiped out all life on Mars. J'onn has been living on Earth since the fifties under the guise of John Jones, a private investigator in South Florida.

There he makes a decent living helping the less fortunate as Mr. Jones, but he sometimes moonlights as a mythical vigilante figure the papers have dubbed the Manhunter from Mars.
J'onn has come to terms with being the last Martian in the universe, but the recent Rover missions gave him hope that somehow his people might have survived. His hopes were dashed however when they reported back with no signs of any intelligent life present on the planet.
Devestated once more, and hating himself for even thinking there was hope to begin with, J'onn has given up his vigilante and detective life and has been stuck in a bottle of whiskey ever since...

Three Reasons Why You Have Chosen That Character: I like J'onn. He's green, and green's a sweet color. I want to play as someone to kill some time until another character becomes available.

What Do You Plan On Doing With This Character As A Person: Bringing him out of his funk and turning him into a true hero once again.

Two Complete Sentances In Proper English Explaining What You Can Bring To This RPG (As A Player): Me can brng god caracter tu PRG. An tater chips. Big bag off tater cips.
