The "Ultimate DC Universe" RPG, Season 2.0: Signup/OOC Thread

[Saved]

I don't know. I never put that much thought into it.

Will...let's hope its not the latter...Titans have enough teen problems without some creepy dude watchin em with binoculars through their giant windows.

 

[trustyside-kick]

Well, Senseiofcheese, the Brother Blood thing is still in the air, so do not think he is off the market; although I'm guessing he wouldn't be high up there. If he were to get taken up by another it wouldn't bother me at all; at least he would be here.

I'm just having difficulty deciding if I want to go through with it and the different versions for an ultimized Brother Blood I've come up with.

 

[SenseiofCheese]

I actually thought about picking up Brother Blood or Johnny Sorrow, but both of them are such huge characters. I'm not completely sure I'd be able to handle characters of that magnitude just yet.
But I sincerely hope you or someone else as competent picks him up, since I'd love to take part in an arc involving him.

The character I'm closest to picking up right now is The Shade, although I'll be giving it a lot more thought.

Hey, if we have an Aquaman, and we have the Titans, we should have a Trident.

 

[trustyside-kick]

That is only if you go by the Teen Titans Go! cartoon. In the comics, the three people who acted as one named Trident had no relations to Atlantis.

 

[Eddie Brock]

Hey, if we have an Aquaman, and we have the Titans, we should have a Trident.

But Aquaman...isn't Aquaman. Yet.

 

[Oh Snap!]

But Aquaman...isn't Aquaman. Yet.

Quiet, Woman!

If Syn say's you're Aquaman, you are Aquaman.

 

[Eddie Brock]

Quiet, Woman!

What is this? Nineteen-f***ing-fifty?!

 

[Oh Snap!]

What is this? Nineteen-f***ing-fifty?!

Don't make me take you to hand, Brock

 

[SenseiofCheese]

You gotta stop that back-talk early.

Well, this is Ultimate DC. But I remember in NTT 10 or something, there was the story "Who Killed Trident?"

 

[trustyside-kick]

Well, this is Ultimate DC. But I remember in NTT 10 or something, there was the story "Who Killed Trident?"

That is because in the comics, Trident was actually three people acting as if one person. Then they turned on each other, and that's when Starfire found "Trident" dead.

Oh. I never got to read that issue. Its one of the few first 20 I haven't read yet. I skipped it for no reason.

 

[trustyside-kick]

It's cool, because this is the UDC RPG. You can do a lot tweaks and changing to ultimize characters. I was just pointing out the different versions of Trident.

But uh...I should have the Brother Blood app up. Just one last thing I need to check with.

 

[Saved]

Sweet. Titans villian numero uno.

 

[Apprentice]

BL, I'm not sure, but I think J'onn and Zee were left behind as Diana joined Superman and Batman. It's kind of a Trinity thing.

Character You Would Like To Play:
Brother Blood

Powers: (I added this in because this is a character who has multiple versions, therefore I felt compelled to establish his powers)
He has a bite which mimics that of a vampire. He hungers for blood and is empowered by it. His bite on a normal human will temporarily make them his slave; acting as a type of hypnosis. However, a bite on a meta-human, and he shall receive their special abilities. He also has flight, longevity, and the more blood he consumes, the more invulnerable he becomes.

Basic History Of The Character:
Being Brother Blood is not much of a choice, it is rather an obligated honor. Such has been the way of the Church of Blood ever since the founding of its Faith. But as all things, there must have been a first Brother Blood.

The Church of Blood worships a sacred text that was long forgotten in the days of man thousands of years ago. An archaeologist was digging in a site in the land of Zandia when he believed to have found Christ's Holy Grail. But he had been mistaken and would soon suffer greatly for it.

Feeling very selfish, he didn't tell his fellow colleagues who were on the same dig site and scurried away back to his tent. Once entering his tent, he took out the "Holy Grail" from his satchel and placed it upon his table. He observed it with much satisfaction, trying to read the unknown language engraved on it. But he was not able to decipher it right away. And when his colleagues returned later that day, he had to hide it in his suitcase to ensure security.

When nightfall came, he secretly lit up the lamp in his tent and continued trying to decipher the goblet. Believing he had finally accomplished his goal, he knew he found Christ's Holy Grail. But the text was misleading, for it was supposed to be. The engravings appear to be Hebrew, but any true follower of the Church of Blood would see through the hidden text and know it to be something else entirely. However, he never questioned why something written in Hebrew would have been scattered and lost in Zandia for he believed he found Christ's Holy Grail and it made sense for it to have been scattered somewhere around the world.

The archaeologist now grew more greedy than before, and did what the goblet claimed to do in order to receive Christ's never-ending life. He filled the goblet with water, and brought the goblet to his lips. Little did he know, a few seconds, as the drops of water settled in the goblet, it transformed and the archaeologist drank blood instead. Feeling almost numb and stricken with pain, the archaeologist died that night; but he had been reborn.

No more than a few minutes later, his body rose up, transformed in every physical sense. He felt stronger, but that strength fading away. His skin grew a palish white, and his eyes were blood-red. Even his hair had changed colors; it became chalk white. He had this savagely hunger that he could not explain. He craved for blood and he sought out for it. He crept from tent to tent, devouring and slaughtering his colleagues that night; and he ate well.

And when he went over to that same goblet for a drink, the Hebrew writings had changed; they had no longer appeared in Hebrew to his eyes. What he now saw before him was the instructions for the ritual. After reading the Zandian text before him, he became a true believer. He became, in what has not been around in centuries...a follower of the Church of Blood. And as such, he became the first Brother Blood.

Following all of the rules and ways of the Church of Blood, he lived a long life. However, he noticed that his strength and hunger was no longer satisfied nor full even with the taste of blood. He had to pass on his role to another. And so, the first Brother Blood passed the role to his top student; a follower whose faith was as sure as his own. And the cycle continued. Each Brother Blood lived to be 100 years old, with their body in prime until the last year. And on that year, each Brother Blood passed the responsibility to his most faithful student and follower.

Tragedy struck for the Church of Blood, for it was losing followers. The name of the Church was at such state, that the latest Brother Blood laid waste to his entire conven for their lack of Faith on his dying day: say for one. The only one he left alive, was the only one he believed to have been untainted by the outside world; the only true believer left. And so...a new Brother Blood was born. Before his teacher died in his arms, they performed the ritual with that same Goblet, and the student had become the teacher. It was from his own mentor's dying breath that he ask that he restore the Church of Blood.

Three Reasons Why You Have Chosen That Character:

1. I feel the RPG could use more villains. I already am playing as Despero now, but another villain I have grown interested in is Brother Blood.

2. I have seen three different representations of Brother Blood: two from the comics and one from the Teen Titans Go! cartoon. I wish to make my own version that somewhat mixes the three.

3. By playing Brother Blood, I am also help set up a big Teen Titans villain for the UDC. The quicker and better we can illustrate this universe, the more interesting it can become I believe. Even if I do not stick with him for extremely long, at least a good version of him would have already been presented to follow through with.

What Do You Plan On Doing With This Character As A Person (IE: How are you 'utlimizing' him or her?):
A major difference from the comics is that this Brother Blood is not going to have his own Cult. The first Brother Blood and the Brother Blood from Teen Titans Go! had minions and followers to do his dirty work. I plan to make him more like the most recent Brother Blood in the comics, where he himself is a force to be reckoned with; but still different.

IC:

His goal was simple, but the means of achieving that said goal were not. The Church of Blood had already began to lose followers: non-believers. However, this Brother Blood did not wish to merely let the non-believers go un-punished. Sure, he too would relish the idea of the Church of Blood regaining its glory and its followers...but at the same time he had this boiling vengeance to slaughter all those who refused said membership.

Sitting on his throne in a completely empty tomb, Brother Blood began his plotting. He ponders about why people lost faith, and then he in general grows angry just thinking about the fact that the Church of Blood is on the brink of extinction.

"It isn't fair! My time should've brought the Golden Age to our Faith! Damn the fools! There is no greater Faith than the Church of Blood!"

He steps down from his throne in the forsaken tomb and walks around back and forth. And suddenly, it hits him. He believes he had found his flaw. It was Zandia itself. He smiles as his new plan comes to mind; one that shall restore the glory of the Church of Blood. Zandia's time had already passed and has been overdue. If the people of Zandia no longer wish to be saved by the Church of Blood, than so be it. He shall travel across the globe, and bring his glorious Faith to all of its corners.

"I shall indeed make this the Church of Blood's Golden Age! Yes. The entire world shall know Brother Blood. I shall rebuild the Church's infrastructure! Appoint new positions for higher members; members who have no lack of Faith! The seas of the Earth will be running with Blood."

And then another idea comes to his mind. A most devilish idea. An idea most devilish, he cannot help but smile wide and head out of the empty tomb. He never takes a look back at that pitiful excuse of a throne and exits to the entrance of the tomb.

"But before I depart, I must bid farewell to Zandia. I shall do well to pay a visit to its people. Genocide shall be my gift to those non-believers. Then, as I bathe in their blood, all will scream in agony as they give this most sacred offering to the Church of Blood!"

Laughing hysterically, Brother Blood begins to levitate and starts flying into the heart of Zandia: it's capital city. It is as he had proclaimed. All shall know the name Brother Blood, and all shall either embrace the Church of Blood or die for their lack of faith.

I think it said in Andy's post that Diana flew Zee with her inside and outside the ship. I think it also said J'onn was flying with them.

That's true; kinda wanted to give Superman the spotlight for the last part of this arc. And the wormhole figures into a rather big sub-plot I'm going to be running in Season III.
