The "Ultimate DC" RPG Signup/OOC Thread

[Byrd Man]

I'll PM Q. I had an idea for Ult. Steel as well.

 

[guitarsingerguy]

Well, Ion can assist Captain Atom and the US Goverment. I was gonna have him fly over the world helping people during natural disasters.

Well, I have to figure out how to get Ion from just getting back to Earth and rediscovering his humanity to something else. Also, he still holds the GL background somewhat seeing as he is directly connected to the central power battery and that's where his power comes from.

 

[Byrd Man]

okay, it's up to you. I'll be saving folks regardless.

 

[guitarsingerguy]

Well, I'm more then happy to group up with you. I just gotta figure out how to get from A to B. Maybe I could see you do something and decide to fly up and help? I don't know.

 

[Byrd Man]

That was my original plan. Maybe an Earthquake in California or a flood in China?

 

[guitarsingerguy]

Keep it in the states. It's where I've got Kyle for now.

 

[Byrd Man]

Okay. You can pick the local. I'll just have Aton respond.

 

[guitarsingerguy]

I'm probably gonna have Kyle having his first experience with some type of food since he's been back on Earth. I figure it can be anywhere. It really doesn't matter. I've never actually named where he was. It just makes more sense for him to be in the states as opposed to say China or something.

 

[trustyside-kick]

Alright. I finally posted like I said I would. Sorry it took so long. I hope to post more often.

Character You Would Like To Play: Ted Grant ( Wild Cat )

Basic History Of The Character: Ted Grant is professional boxer in his late twenties. Just after his loss of the WBA championship title, Ted takes a step back from the politics of professional sports to refind himself.
His travels takes him to Tijuanna, Mexico for a mixed martial arts tournament. The prize, an ancient artifact named Gato De La Luna regarded for it mystical properties.


Three Reasons Why You Have Chosen That Character:

1. I think Wild Cat lends himself well to an Ultimate type universe

2. It'd be fun to flesh out an origin for him

3. Not alot has changed or been updated in the Wild Cat Mythos, So I think he deserves an overhaul of sorts.

What Do You Plan On Doing With This Character As A Person:
I want Wild Cat to be a nervously optimistict character, Almost a Light Hearted Batman (Not to say he dosen't have a dark side)

Two Complete Sentances In Proper English Explaining What You Can Bring To This RPG (As A Player): I'm new to this so hopefully some fresh Ideas. And I'll try not to be to much trouble.

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

 

[batnkevlar]

Hmm... I always imagined an Ultimate Wildcat to be sorta a WereCat sorta creature...

Well, we have a problem. Your application is very good, and by any other account, I'd accept it in a heartbeat.

However, Wild Cat/Ted Grant has already been used in the game by myself and twylight, through both flashbacks and present time. He was Bruce Wayne's first teacher on his journey to becoming Batman and one of Dinah's guardians while she grew up. For him to be twenty years old and have an origin in the present day messes with that, as he had to be much older in order to serve on the Justice Society, and train both Bruce and Dinah to become Batman and The Black Canary.

 

[marcofthebeast]

I'd have it so when he activates the artifact it make him more cat-like but he would be normal Ted Grant otherwise.

Damn back to the drawing board.

 

[guitarsingerguy]

Damn back to the drawing board.

Hey man, don't worry. I had my first rejected too. Just pick someone different and go with it.

 

[Batman]

Yeah. The only real reason I couldn't accept you was your choice of character. Everything else about the application was pretty much solid.

 

[marcofthebeast]

How does the war timeline work in UDCU and is the JSA still involved with WW2?

 

[batnkevlar]

I had an idea for Ultimate Steel too... so if anyone wants to hear it...

 

[Byrd Man]

What's the point? Q's idea will bum you out.

 

[trustyside-kick]

That sucks. Woulda been cool to see Wildcat in the RPG. If I had more knowledge about him I would have definetely considered playing him. I like the non-superpowered Heroes more than the ones with powers.

 

[SuperFerret]

Speaking of non-powered superheroes...


The Joker's back.

 

[Batman]

Awesome.

Now get back on MSN.

 

[marcofthebeast]

Is Unknown Soldier being used? I think I'll write up an app for him. After work though.

 

[guitarsingerguy]

Byrd Man, I've set it up so Kyle can run into you in Star City. If there's something specific you want to do, let me know.

 

[Byrd Man]

Okay that's fine. I was kinda hoping Batman can jump in as GA, seeing as how I had his city go through an earthquake.
