The "Ultimate DC Universe" RPG, Season 3.0: Sign-Up/OOC Thread

[SenseiofCheese]

He probably saw it, but just didn't care. Damn Brits.

 

[Catman_prb]

I wanted to cut out all the adoption/illegitimate son stuff. None of them would become Speedy..well, maybe not at first. I also wanted to make him middle class, I've just been tired of seeing rich cimefighters. I want to see one on a budget.


Also, Catman I don't know if you seen it, but I posted as Creeper a few days ago. I think it might have gotten lost on the last page due to the whole Flash/Despero fight. Just making sure you seen it.

Sorry man. Just had a look and am trying to think of a way to respond to my character shooting his team mate.

He probably saw it, but just didn't care. Damn Brits.

You wish you were British

 

[Green Lantern]

He wishes he had bad teeth?

 

[MST3K 4ever]

Looks like things are slowly picking up around here...would hate to see this RPG die out...this one is my favorite.

 

[Batman]

It won't die out.

Hell, it's managed to stay alive this long, so even if activity stalls altogether, there's still a very good chance it'll pick up again.

 

[Saved]

Here we go, since this is a major retcon. MB wanted me to see what everyone else thought before he approves it.

.'ULTIMATE DC UNIVERSE' RPG Application.

Screenname: Byrd Man

Character You Would Like To Play: Oliver Queen

Basic History Of The Character: Born to a middle class family in Star City, Oliver Queen took an interest in the sport of archery. By the time he was 20, young Ollie Queen was one of the best archers in the world, even winning the gold medal in the 1988 Olympics. A year after the Olympic Games, a scandal broke out concerning a judge being paid off. Ollie was stripped of his gold medal and was banned from the games for life. Fast forward to today: Ollie still lives in Star, working in the sporting goods section of his local Wal-Mart. A widower, Ollie has to support his children, 19 year old college student Roy, 17 year old Connor, and 13 year old Mia. As Ollie's 40th birthday approaches, he spends more and more time thinking of what went wrong in his life, and how his gift was squandered.

Three Reasons Why You Have Chosen That Character:

1. I'm a huge GA fan

2. I want to put my own spin on GA

3. Boxing glove arrow, anyone?

What Do You Plan On Doing With This Character As A Person (IE: How are you 'utlimizing' him or her?): This version of Ollie will be very diffrent. He's no longer a rich playboy, but instead he's a blue collar slob who's tired of seeing the evil get their way while the poor suffer. I also am going to cut out the womanizing, this Ollie will actually be scared of getting back into the dating world.

Two Complete Sentences In Proper English Explaining What You Can Bring To This RPG (As A Player): I can bring an okay RPer who's been in this RPG since season 1. Plus, I'm a big GA and Ollie Queen fan.

What Fonts Do You Plan To Use For Your Character’s Speech? (Makes the roster look better): Georgia and green

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

Star City

"Ollie to Sporting Goods, Ollie to Sporting Goods."

I pick a piece of lent off my blue vest as I walk down the aisles towards the counter. A man is standing there tapping his fingers against the glass case.

"Can I help you, sir?"

The man nods as I walk behind the counter.

"Yeah, I wanna buy a shotgun."

"You know there's a three day waiting period?"

"Shoot. Not in Texas."

"Well, this is California. Can I ask what you'll be needing it for?"

"I'm going to Arizona in two days. I'm going deer hunting."

My eyes light up, the small spark that's almost dormant ignites again.

"Could I interest you in purchasing a compound bow?"

"A bow and arrow? I'm killing serious game, not some little rabbit."

"With all due respect, sir. In the right hands, a bow and arrow is just as deadly, if not more, than any gun. Let me show you..."

I start to reach for the compound bow I keep under the counter when I hear it.

"QUEEN!"

My hands stop, my eyes dart up to see my boss standing down the aisle.

"How many times do I have to tell you to stop trying to sell people those pieces of crap?"

"But sir, we sell them here..."

"I don't care. Just because you're a washed up loser who had fifteen mintues of fame, doesn't mean you know what people want. Now help him with his purchase!"

He stalks off, the man I was helping stares at me for a few seconds before it clicks.

"Wait. You're Ollie Queen! Man, you were something back in the day."

I quietly sigh as I prop my elbow up on the counter.

"Yeah..."

"So...did you ever..."

"No. I was innocent, despite what everyone else says. I know I didn't pay him off, I earned that medal fair and square."

"...I tell ya what, I think I might go to that Cabela's Outdoor shop down the road to get my shotgun, they might have a better selection."

"Yeah, sure."

"Nice to meet ya...man you were something."

He stalks off, I lay my head on the counter and sigh as his words ring in my ear.

Man you were something....

You were something....

Were something....

Were....

That's all I am, a has been. I never thought that I would be here twenty years from the Olympics, but here I am. Busting ass at Wal-Mart. I have to remind myself I'm doing it for the kids, I have to support them. I think about Roy, Connor, and Mia...and suddenly, I don't feel so bad.

"Ollie to the manager's office, Ollie to the manager's office."

Well, that good feeling lasted all of two seconds.


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

How strange, this wasn't the Oliver Queen we saw last season.

 

[Eddie Brock]

A Green Arrow that doesn't womanize? Blasphemy!

(Actually, that's the part I like.)

 

[Byrd Man]

How strange, this wasn't the Oliver Queen we saw last season.

Sorry that my version is so much better.

 

[Saved]

Sorry that my version is so much better.

Sorry you refuse to respect continuity! Now we got two Ollies!

Correction: one active Ollie and one Ollie that will fade to nothingness.

Not if I do something about it out of spite.

 

[Eddie Brock]

Ah, spite: a writer's best motivation.

 

[Green Lantern]

The secret to Chuck Austen's success

 

[Byrd Man]

Not if I do something about it out of spite.

You wouldn't do that.

Would you?....

 

[Saved]

You wouldn't do that.

Would you?....

Well you did commendere Cap from me in Marvel...So we'll see.

 

[Byrd Man]

Well you did commendere Cap from me in Marvel...So we'll see.

I seem to recall asking nicely...well, it was nice as I could be.

 

[Saved]

I seem to recall asking nicely...well, it was nice as I could be.

I would quote it, but the hype censors would make it unable to read.

 

[Matt Murdock]

I still haven't been approved.

 

[Batman]

Oh, right. Sorry, I'm a bit biased towards the blind. Lousy good-for-nothing...

Anyway, You're approved.

...

 

[Matt Murdock]

So, if we're being exact, you're biased against the blind, correct?

 

[Batman]

Just you.

 

[trustyside-kick]

Hey Trusty, if Despero is still looking for a playmate to tussle with after J'onn, then Clark is definitely up for something.

Get whatever posts in that you need to, Spike, so that Despero can come for the Blue Boy Scout.

 

[SenseiofCheese]

Whenever Despero is done dealing with Supes, then it conveniently took Hal exactly that amount of time to get to Earth. I want a piece of that three-eyed bastard

 

[Saved]

Sorry to do this, but can I get Metallo on reserve for me again?

 

[Spike_x1]

Get whatever posts in that you need to, Spike, so that Despero can come for the Blue Boy Scout.

A setup for a Despero attack has been established.
