[Watchman]

Screenname: Watchman

Character You Would Like To Play: Cliff Steele/Robotman

In a dark basement of a forgotten place red eyes illuminate from underneath a sheet. Cliff Steele, the Robotman, has awoken. Now with only a handful of memories and a mysterious woman named Rita the pair set on a path of violence, mystery, and weirdness. The two must answer the questions, who is Cliff Steele?

Three Reasons Why You Have Chosen That Character:

1. One of my favorite characters in DC comics

2. Doom Patrol is possible my favorite series published by DC. Since I don't have time to use them in the regular DC universe I'm going to use some of my ideas here.

3. I want to play as him.

What Do You Plan On Doing With This Character As A Person (IE: How are you 'utlimizing' him or her?): Putting him in a unique spin on one of my favorite characters. It combines elements of film noir and science fiction.

Two Complete Sentences In Proper English Explaining What You Can Bring To This RPG (As A Player): Firstly, I can bring a seasoned rpger. Also, hopefully some interesting stories.

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

Character Sample Post (Three Paragraphs And One Line Of Dialogue, At Minimum):

The bartender poured another drink. A orange steel hand grabbed a quickly and downed it. The bartender wondered if it did anything to him.

"How's it going tonight, Cliff?" The robotic body behind the large trenchcoat whine as two red eyes peered from under a hat.

"Same as always, Josh." He pushed the glass forward. "Another one." He poured and he drank.

"Hear Red Jack is back in town. You going to do anything about it?"

"Maybe." The only human part of Cliff was working on overdrive now. His brain putting pieces together. A grand conspricay with him as its heart. He did know something though, Nobody's gang was a the heart of it and he was going to start with them.

Hmm. Quite the obscure choice.

I like it. Approved.

 

[Matt Murdock]

Can you get online, MB?

 

[Batman]

Still working out the size and pixelation issues, but here's a preview of things to come soon, hopefully...

I love it.

 

[Venom160]

very cool

 

[Saved]

Nice work.

 

[Eddie Brock]

Ah, yes. I had forgotten that you gave me that sneak preview a while back.

 

[Saved]

Time to bring back the magic, baby.

Screenname: Syn (Mercenary)

Character You Would Like To Play: Floyd Lawton, AKA Deadshot

Basic History Of The Character: He was a thief, common crook, hired hand, and now assassin. Most recently, he worked with Black Mask. He discovered his ability during a heist at a bank. (I will have more of his history revealed in the arc I am doing pending approval).

Three Reasons Why You Have Chosen That Character:

1. Deadshot is my second fav. merc besides Deathstroke.

2. He's a smartass, killing, son of a ***** with no inhibitions.

3. The chance to, yet again, precede my title, and play another mercenary. Look at the screen name.

What Do You Plan On Doing With This Character As A Person (IE: How are you 'utlimizing' him or her?): Deadshot has already been ultimized in this RPG by Human Torch. I just plan on expanding on his history and origins, hoping to tell you how a young boy got caught up in the world of crime, and soon realized his destiny.

Two Complete Sentences In Proper English Explaining What You Can Bring To This RPG (As A Player): I can bring a semi-good RPGer with some kickass story lines and posts. I also hope to bring a sense of realism to Deadshot, making his character more relatable than he was in the comics for regular DC. (Not everyone relates to a spoiled rich kid who shot his brother.)

What Fonts Do You Plan To Use For Your Character’s Speech? (Makes the roster look better): "I plan to use Grey Garmond Bold."

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

I'm sitting on a chair in Alfred Sanders home, staring at the door of his apartment waiting for him to come home. The revolver in my hand is cold. I can feel it beneath my gloves, the deep groves of the handle, the finely smoothed metal of the barrel. It all feels so familiar to me. Too familiar.

I'm so tired of this game. Cat and mouse. To be honest, it bores me. I get a call, I meet the contractor. We make a deal, I stalk target. Days later, I shoot target, go back to contractor, get money, and the process starts all over again. How repetitive.

Where is the adventure in this life? Where did it go? Did it dissapear, or is it me who's changed? Has it really been that long? Have I really become that out of touch with things? Or is it that I've become more desensitized to a point where even murder doesn't keep my attention?

As I think to myself, my concentration is suddenly broken by the sound of the lock on the door opening. I watch the handle turn intently, my attention finally focused. As the door slowly opens, I watch Mr. Sanders walk in the door. He's talking on his cell phone. How typical. He doesn't even notice me. I guess it's as good a time to do it as any. Just wait for him to close that door.

"Hello, Al." I say in a calm voice. "Why don't you have a seat?"

"W-Who are you?" He stammers, his phone dropping from his hand and falling to the ground. As his phone impacts the hard wood floors, it breaks into three large pieces. I smile beneath my mask and look up at him, waving my gun back and forth in front of him like a finger.

"Now, look at what you've done. I'll bet that was an important call."

"What do you want?" He asks as his body shakes.

"The same thing everyone in this world wants." I respond vaguely. "Money. And like most people, I'll do anything for it. Even murder."

"Y-You're here to kill me?"

"Hm. Congradulations. Someone give this man a prize. Was it the fact that I'm wearing a mask alone in your house waiting for you to return? Or possibly the gun with a silencer attachment in my hand?"

"Who hired you?"

"What?"

"Who hired you?"

"Why should I tell you?" I say proudly, leaning back in the chair. It creaks loudly, almost as if it could break at any moment. Why the hell does a corporate lawyer have dimestore furniture?

"My last request. Every time a man is about to die, the killer offers the victim a last request. This is mine. Who hired you?" I take a deep sigh. This guy's good. Quoting chivilorous traditions to a mercenary. How poetic.

"Alright." I respond in a monotone. "Turn around and put your hands on your head. I'll tell you." The man complies without a complaint. He turns his back to me, and stares up at the ceiling, his hands gripping at the hair on his head. Poor guy. I almost feel bad for doing this.

"Well...who hired you?"

"Sorry, Al." I say raising the pistol, aiming the site at his heart. "Assassin's honor." I pull the trigger slowly, the loud click of the barrel shifting rings out loud for a second. Like the calm before the storm, I could sense a moment of pure silence, and then, BANG. The bullet fires from the gun and rips through his body. It penetrates the skin on his back, and makes its way through his torso until it reaches his heart. He drops to the ground like a sack of bricks.The bullet perfectly lodged itself in the upper cavity, and ripped through the inner walls. How do I know this? Because I planned it like that. And I never miss.

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

 

[Batman]

Approved.

I guess I'll have to add you to the new picture rosters... because contrary to what I thought, I actually finished them. They're now up, so you guys might wanna check that out for yourself.

If there are any pictures you want replaced, and you have a replacement with you, send it my way and I'll swap them out per the request.

(And yes, JB, you might wanna find a replacement for your's, quickly. Otherwise we'll have some very pissed off Republicans here...)

 

[Eddie Brock]

(And yes, JB, you might wanna find a replacement for your's, quickly. Otherwise we'll have some very pissed off Republicans here...)

But one very happy Eddie.

 

[Catman_prb]

Awesome

 

[Saved]

Why does Ultimate Jim Gordon rule? Look at the roster. Picture says it all.

Nice work, MB.

 

[trustyside-kick]

MB, I'm confused dude...when are you going to have Bats get in on the arc? Because it seems that now you, Syn, and Noon have something going on between your three characters.

 

[Johnny Blaze]

Approved.

Nah, it's cool. It'll get changed out eventually.

 

[Spike_x1]

Hey Sensei, can I ask for a small edit? I can see how my last post wasn't specific enough in the detail, but once Superman ignited the fuel, he would have stopped blasting heat vision, since a single spark is enough to send it all up in flames and get the job done. There would have been no need to keep shooting down torrents of heat once the fuel had been ignited; it just makes Superman seem more bloodthirsty than I'd like him to come across as.

 

[Batman]

MB, I'm confused dude...when are you going to have Bats get in on the arc? Because it seems that now you, Syn, and Noon have something going on between your three characters.

The thing with Barbara wasn't planned or expected. We're simply reacting.

 

[Johnny Blaze]

Also, you've got Tommy Elliot listed as a Doctor on the roster. He's not a Doc, he's a cop.

 

[Batman]

Catman had him listed as a Doctor in his app, so that's probably why I made that mistake.

 

[Johnny Blaze]

Catman had him listed as a Doctor in his app, so that's probably why I made that mistake.

Well, Catman's a ****ing moron. You should know this by now.

 

[Batman]

How do you know that I know that? I just made him an AGM, for godsakes.

 

[Johnny Blaze]

How do you know that I know that? I just made him an AGM, for godsakes.

I know that you know that I know that, because I know that you know that. Why else would you make him an AGM except to be the Curly to your Moe?

 

[Batman]

I know that you know that I know that, because I know that you know that. Why else would you make him an AGM except to be the Curly to your Moe?

But I thought that was Syn's job.

I'm confused as all hell now!

 

[Catman_prb]

Actually I had Elliot as forensics...and yes, I'm a ****ing moron t:

 

[Johnny Blaze]

But I thought that was Syn's job.

I'm confused as all hell now!

Syn's more Larry than Curly. I thought everybody knew that?
