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

[Batman]

The guy dresses up in a burlap sack and induces sheer panic into people with a simple toxin, and we're worried about the reality of him being able to keep going despite being shot. I love logic.

Shot by a mind controlled mobster influenced by a yellow skinned psychopath, no less.

Well I'm still thinking about bringing him into the mix, somehow. I just watched Batman Begins last night and that inspired me even more so..t:

Would love to have a PC Scarecrow.

.'ULTIMATE DC UNIVERSE' RPG Application.

Screen name: Jono Starsmore

Character you would like to play: Dr. Jonothan Crane/The Scarecrow

Powers: While the Scarecrow posesses no "superhuman" abilities, he is known for his superior intelligence, as well as his profound credentials as a chemist and psychiatrist. He garbs himself in a simple, burlap sack (which also acts as a gas mask, to keep him from being exposed to his own toxin), to conceal his identity ; which is also used to create even more fear into those he sprays with his Fear Toxin, a hallucinogin that causes panic and fear into those that are exposed to it -- which basically causes them to face their worst phobias. When fighting, he usually uses a sort of "dancing" style, with a mix of kung fu (crane style) and drunken boxing.

Hero, Villain, or Walking The Line?: Villain.

Basic history of the character: Ultimate Scarecrow, like his mainstream DC Universe counterpart, is a member of the fictional Gotham City's rogues gallery, and one of the deadliest foes of Batman. Like his predecessor, The Scarecrow began his life as the meek and timid Johnathan Crane, a young man obsessed with fears and phobias, aswell as their power and grip over the human mind. This unnatural fascination has grown into a murderous hobby, as Crane has created and perfected a panic inducing toxin that is able to render virtually anyone fear stricken, succumbed to their deepest psychiatric phobias. In this universe, Crane starts off as the head psychiatrist at the Arkham Rehabilitational Institute, while secretly performing experiments on his patients to test his toxins. He ends up becoming The Scarecrow, soon after, and coming into conflict with the recently emerged Batman, thusly becoming the first costumed villain Batman ever faces in this universe.

Three reasons why you have chosen that character:

1. It'll be my first character in the DC RPG's.

2. I watched Batman Begins last night (5th or 6th time, I believe), and couldn't resist.

3. Fear is the mind killer!

What do you plan on doing with this character as a person? (IE: How are you 'utlimizing' him or her?): He's already been ultimized, but I plan on portraying him as more of a threat to Batman physically and mentally. I also plan on having him construct more gadgetry (gas bombs, etc.), as well as develop a formidable fighting style.

Please provide two complete sentences explaining what you can bring to this RPG (as a player): I'm going to bring (hopefully) good interaction with everyone in this RPG. I'll also portray a good, ultimized Scarecrow ; though I'm not genuinely too experienced with playing him.

What fonts do you plan to use for your character’s speech?: System, Brown

Character sample post (Three paragraphs and one line of dialogue, at minimum):

Crane winced slightly at the pain shooting through his arm, after the Bat had twisted it violently. Also, there was the bleeding from the gunshot wounds from Black Mask, that had to be tended to immediately. Basically, the only thing keeping him conscious at the moment was the exposure of his own toxin, which he had grown attuned to.

The sound of sirens approached from outside, and the footsteps of the small squad of police rushed upstairs, finding a now, unmasked Doctor Crane lying on the floor. He looked up to them.

"Th-th-Sc-sc-Scarecrow.....sc-scarecrow...", he whispered to them as they rolled him over.

"CALL THE PARAMEDICS!", one of the officers shouted.

"Don't worry Dr. Crane, we'll have you outta' here in no time.."

Crane couldn't help but to grin slightly as he was pulled onto a stiff-board, being carried down to the ambulance below. The Scarecrow would return...in time.

Heh, the fact that I know Pete Ross' big secret makes it that much more hilarious that you're using Barack Obama for his picture.

We tried to leave in peace! But someone with a beard and big ass hat said "Preserve the union!"

Hey, the mistakes of the 1800's weren't mine. Nobody could have predicted Garth Brooks.

You're lucky you're pro-Obama, little man. Very lucky.
