.'ULTIMATE DC UNIVERSE' RPG Application.
Screen name: Master Bruce
Character you would like to play: Ultimate Sinestro
Powers: Bestowed upon Sinestro is the intergalactic power ring worn by The Green Lantern Corps, considered to be the most powerful weapon in the universe. The ring allows mere thought to become reality in the form of any type of weapon, defensive shields, auras providing oxygen in even the deepest of space, aswell as a powerful energy of it's own. The ring also provides the capabilities of flight.
The ring is powered by pure willpower and imagination, and must be consistently charged with a designated Power Battery, transmitting energy from the Central Power Battery of Oa, the ring's planet of origin.
Hero, Villain, or Walking The Line?: For now, I'm just going to say 'Hero'. Though obviously, that's subject to change.
Basic history of the character: Born on the slave planet of Korugar, Sinestro and his people faced hardships across their entire world. They were overruled by fascist regime working for the intergalactic terrorist Imperiex, forcing many of Sinestro's own family into poverty and slavery. Young Sinestro would eventually grow to be apart of the rebellion, but his efforts were futile and short lived. That is, until the arrival of a Green Lantern Corpsman.
Fighting the rulers of Korugar under the designation of intergalactic peace, the Corpsman would sacrifice his own life to imprison the powerful leaders. Once the Corpsman's body was destroyed, Sinestro picked up the fallen ring... and was instantly chosen. Sinestro was to be The Green Lantern of his sector, trained by The Guardians of The Universe to become the first subject of the Ion power source. But Sinestro unexpectedly became one of the finest Green Lantern Corps in the universe before the Ion battery could be completed, eventually being offered his own rank as instructor to the Black Ops division.
Recently, once the Black Ops division disbanded, he has returned to active duty as Green Lantern of Korugar. But as his sector becomes increasingly controlled, The Guardians have a new task that awaits for him: The periled Earth, who's protector has mysteriously gone missing.
Three reasons why you have chosen that character:
1. Sinestro is a particularly tragic character because he was once everything that his rivals, Hal Jordan and the subsequent GL's, turned out to be. Add to the fact that he wields one of the most powerful weapons on his finger, and you've got a potentially huge threat to contend with.
2. In the past two years, I've really immersed myself into The Green Lantern mythology, quickly becoming a fan. And after playing, and burning out with Hal, I want to try and offer something else from the Ultimate GLC.
3. There were only a few DC characters that I felt comfortable with adding to my already hectic character list across the boards. But Sinestro's story is an exception, and one that I'm really excited to tell.
What do you plan on doing with this character as a person? (IE: How are you 'ultimizing' him or her?): Sinestro is generally portrayed as a pompous, arrogant, and deceitful person even before he's disgraced and turned into a villain. To me, that's not particularly interesting character, not to mention one worthy of a Green Lantern ring. So for this Sinestro, I want to try and present someone who is inherently good. Someone who actually is a real hero, and truly does believe in the system he works for. It makes his story all the more grand, as he slowly descends into the man he's fated to become.
Please provide two complete sentences explaining what you can bring to this RPG (as a player): I'm known for not being the most reliable poster on the boards, but I can say that this RPG is definitely where most of my focus is lent to. And with everything that's coming on the horizon, I expect to be spending alot of my time on the boards in this game, helping in any way I can to enrich it's quality.
What fonts do you plan to use for your character’s speech?: Green, Century Gothic Bold
Character sample post (Three paragraphs and one line of dialogue, at minimum):
"This council shall now come to order!"
There was a panic in the air of the planet Oa. And it did not go unrecognized. For days at a time, the subject would come up frequently between training sessions and off hours, even during patrols. The Green Lantern Corps were forged of the galaxy's bravest, indeed... but one thing that men without fear could almost universally fear was a threat they did not know.
And almost prophetically, that day had finally come.
"Lanterns of Oa, you have all been called here for a matter of grave urgency. Many of you remain aware of it still, but the subject has reached even our cabinet. And believe me when I say that The Guardians of The Universe do not take such matters lightly."
The Guardian speaking was Ganthet, perhaps the most respected member of the council of Oa. Whenever he would speak, no Corpsman in the universe would hesitate to listen. That is why, when they heard the distinct worry in his voice, it surprised many of the Green Lanterns in attendance. But unlike many of his peers and fellow Guardians, Ganthet was not afraid to feel. Lest show that he was capable.
"But for those who remain unaware, we shall provide you with enlightenment.", He continued, as a screen behind him formed, showing a distant planet that many did not even recognize.
"What you see before you, my Corpsmen, is the designated Sector 2814. The planet Earth, of the Milky Way Galaxy. Though few of our officers have originated from such a place, in recent times, it has become a planet of great concern. The crime that plagues it's many forms of life has become exponential, so much so that we have been forced to assigned... no, entrusted many Corpsmen to it's protection."
Gathet held out his palm, as it began to glow with emerald energy. Before long, several faces began to pop up in the form of three-demensional file photographs.
"These are are the current Green Lanterns of Sector 2814. Guy Gardner, of the Black Ops division. John Stewart, a graduating trainee to be assigned to this designation soon. Kyle Rayner, current torchbearer of the Ion battery. And until most recently..."
The image faded, replaced by a new one. A face many of the Corps had come to recognize in recent months.
"Harold Jordan, successor to the late Abin Sur."
Jordan's image quickly faded, as Ganthet stepped forth infront of the legions of galactic species that wielded the legendary ring of power.
"Many of you are aware of Jordan's promise. He was an officer that garnered many friends, aswell as the recommendations that led to his promotion. And while he was a sufficient warrior, it has become apparent that something grave has happened to Harold Jordan."
Many murmurs came from the crowd, to which Ganthet held up a hand, instructing their silence.
"There is much to be learned about his disappearance, but until then, Earth is left defenseless. Guy Gardner was recently stripped of his position and demoted for insubordination, while Kyle Rayner's position cannot be designation to one galaxy alone. And John Stewart is, of course, very skilled, but lacks the knowledge necessary to patrol his own Sector."
"So, whuh? Ya gonna stick some sorry poozer in Jordan's place 'til he turns up?", a ghastly being known as Kilowog asked.
"If he turns up.", the notoriously hotheaded Isamot Kol offered, with a hint of disgust.
"Humans. I always knew we were wrong to trust them..."
"Perhaps that's a decision best left for The Guardians, Kol."
The lizard-like being turned, angry, only for his swelling temper to die down once he saw the Corpsman behind him. Sinestro of Korugar stared him down, both angered and disappointed, as his once-pupil quietly turned back around. Isamot Kol would gladly pick a fight with any Lantern in his sector... but he knew better than to challenge an officer with such skill as Sinestro. Ganthet nodded in approval of Sinestro's defense, before continuing.
"I know that there is much concern for the situation at hand. Some of you feel that the Corps as a whole are being targeted. But let me assure you... until such evidence presents itself, it is only Sector 2814's Lantern that remain in clear danger."
Ganthet looked up, as did the other Lanterns, as the ensignia of all Green Lantern Corps began to glow brightly. From the center of the plaque, a small object began to form from the energy. Until finally, a small ring was produced, glowing with life and floating directly into Ganthet's palm.
"This is why, my Lanterns, you have been called upon. Whosoever accepts the responsibility of this ring, in this chamber, shall also accept the responsibility of protecting Earth. It is unusual of us to request an outsider of the designated sector to assume this role, but Lantern Jordan, wherever he may be, must be succeeded."
Many murmurs came from the audience, as almost all of the officers began debating amongst themselves as to whether or not they could assume such a task. But only one stepped forward, clearly ready to take upon the challenge without regret or hesitation. Almost no one was surprised, as Ganthet smiled, seeing Sinestro float out from within the crowd and land before him.
"When I was given my ring, I swore to uphold all that is required of The Guardians. This time shall be no exception,", Sinestro began, before removing his own ring and placing it into Ganthet's other hand.
"I accept the responsibility for Sector 2814."
"You are a most worthy candidate, Sin'estro of Korugar.", Ganthet praised, before his ring evaporated, making way for the new one.
"If you are content with this decision, then speak the oath."
Sinestro held out his hand, as Ganthet gave him the ring. And without thought to the matter, he placed it on his finger, and raised it to the power battery that slowly glowed into existence.
"In brightest day, in blackest night...no evil shall escape my sight," He began, as his attire was overtaken with the ensemble green uniform of the Green Lanterns.
"Let those who worship evil's might, beware my power..."
"GREEN LANTERN'S LIGHT!"
And in that instant, it was the dawn of a new day for the planet Earth.
