I am considering picking up another character. A villian this time...I am starting to form an interesting back story for an Ultimate Giganta possibly. She seems like she would be an interesting balance to the Atom and about every other villain I thought of was a Batman villian, so I am thinking of trying this one...if we are getting close to the end of this season then I will wait until next season.
 
Don't toy with my emotions you sick bastard! :cmad:

Ironically enough, byrd and I did discuss possibly merging Vertigo into UDC's history, acknowledging the Minutemen were the last heroes before the current generation, whilst having V terrorize England's corruption just a decade before. But we figured it'd be best to not bother with the complications in that, given the RPG's already established history.

sonuva *****. I call Rorschach in the off chance it gets a go.
 
How close are we to the end of this season? Because I would hate to post an app and then find out that it won't be needed or worth anything until next season.
 
I'd say it'll be another month, probably. But that's at the very latest.
 
If thats the case, Spike, we'll do Metallo next season. That alright?
 
Me either, but then I remembered this season started back in January.
 
Oh, I guess it's a bit of a formality at this point, but I'm officially dropping Brainiac. It's kinda hard to keep playing him if he's dead.
 
Okay, I'm working up a new Ion post as we speak. I've just got a mental block that's stopping me from developing the storyline...I know what I want to do, just not how to do it.

As with J'onn, I'll have to catch up on what happened in the arc before I post. Should be sometime tonight.

Character You Would Like To Play: Giganta

Basic History Of The Character: Doris Zuel was from the University of California. She was a brillaint Track & Field star and a lock for the Olympics. However she did have one problem she was using steroids and she was thrown out of the University after she failed a drug test. She then became determined to be a star in Hollywood since that seemed like a good path to fortune and fame. After weeks and weeks of struggling to make ends meet her agent got her a job to be a spokesperson for a new & improved exercise machine. The manufacture of the machine knew it was a failure, but they had bankrolled millions into it and needed this thing to sell or they would be finished. They called a lab that was just getting out from under a major Government investigation, and needed something to divert attention away from the Government investigation. They agreed to have their doctors endorse the machine if the manufacturing company agreed not only to share in the profits but if their spokesperson would agree to be a part of their experiment involving a new kind of human growth hormone. Doris refused but the manufacturer figured a way around it. By having Doris go on a "diet" as part of the exercise program. They would (without her knowledge) sprinkle a powder form of the hormone in her food or drinks and even pump it through the air-vents in her apartment. Needless to say she has experienced an intersting side-effect...

(If approved the 1st post will pick up with her discovering her power)

Three Reasons Why You Have Chosen That Character:

1. It's an interesting balance to my other character The Atom

2. I enjoy playing villains and it's one that hasn't been tried yet.

3. She isn't anyone hero's nemesis (she has gone against Wonder Woman, The Atom and in JLU she is drawn to The Flash) and this makes it possibly for me to play her against just about anyone

What Do You Plan On Doing With This Character As A Person (IE: How are you 'utlimizing' him or her?): In the comics her powers are derived from magic this time she gets them from a pharmecutical company. As opposed to the other versions this one is much more refined not as violent but much more calculating and devious.

Two Complete Sentences In Proper English Explaining What You Can Bring To This RPG (As A Player): 1) Over 25 years of RPGing 2) I know most of the people here.

What Fonts Do You Plan To Use For Your Character’s Speech? (Makes the roster look better): I think this one will work just fine.

Please Provide A Small Sample Post In The Format You Wish To Portray Your Character In:

Doris looks at the camera, smiles and says, "And you do can have a body just like me when you try the Ulti-bod 2100. Here's how you can get your own Ulti-bod 2100!"

The director yells, "And Cut ! Perfect Doris!"

She stops smiling and says with a great deal of boredom, "Thanks Wayne I'll be in my trailer. I can't wait to get out of this 2 bit infomercal crap and move onto bigger & better things."

Doris starts towards her trailer and then stumbles a bit. Quickly two men rush to her side and begin to pick her up. She regains her balance and says, "I'm okay! I'm okay! I just need to lay down for a minute I've been having some serious dizzy spells lately."

She enters her trailer and lays down. There is a knock at the door and she says, "What?"

The head of the exercise company Brice Taylor says, "Doris it's me Brice can I see you for a moment?"

Doris says, "All-right only for minute I'm still feeling a little dizzy."

Brice enters the trailer and says, "Doris I am a little worried about you. Can you finish this job? I mean you have been having dizzy spells and these diva moments more and more frequently. Is there anything I can do?"

She says, "Yeah a day off or two. If I have to do another 12 hour shoot with me layin on that peice of crap I think I will throw-up. Which I am starting to do as well."

Brice says, "Yeah tell you what. I'll talk to Wayne and see if I can get you some time off."

Doris says, "Fine I think I need to get some rest."

Brice says, "Fair enough." He leaves as Doris starts to fall asleep. As he closes the door she sits up and opens a window very quietly.

Okay Brice let's see what you do now? I am so onto you clowns.

Brice dials a number on his phone and says, "Yeah it's me...dizzy spells and mood swings are off the chart now...she is also starting to vomit...yeah...I think we need to back off the powder for a day or two....look your little drug is really dangerous as it is if she dies then we're all screwed...good...I'll sned her home...get that crap out of her apartment pronto...right."

He hangs up the phone and begins to re-enter the trailer as Doris lays back down and acts as though she is still asleep. She stirs when he opens the door.

Brice says, "Doris you're right you need sometime off, why don't you go get some rest come back the day after tomorrow. I'll tell Wayne to shoot the stuff without you and you can do pick-ups then."

She nods and says, "Thanks Brice." She embraces him and leaves the trailer

Doris leaves the lot and pulls out from her pocket Brice's cell phone. She sees the last number he dialed and smiles as she says, "Gotcha!"

Cool idea, approved :up:

If Andy goes through with it, then the Ultimate Legion of Doom will kick some serious ass sometime next season.

Thanks I thought about that when I was picking the character...I should have an IC post up by Saturday.
 
Good to have a 'big' villain on board, and the back-story sounds pretty cool.

Oh, and this is kinda unrelated, but were the Awards results ever posted?

Never really intended for there to be any 'results', but I guess I could tally up the votes.

Also, I may not be able to get a new post up for a day or two. My cornia/eye was scratched yesterday, and I just returned from the doctor's office for imflammation and swelling.
