The "Why So Serious? Gotham City Noir" RPG: Sign-Up/OOC Thread

[Byrd Man]

I had no idea there were so many Vigilantes!

Yep. And there's a brand new one that showed up in the pages of Nightwing.

 

[Saved]

Yep, the second to fourth Vigilantes were NYC based. Pat Trayce, the fifth, ended up globe-trotting, working in security and was indeed trained by Deathstroke.

Yeah. I really liked her character in the Deathstroke series. I didn't know who Vigilante was until that. Where is she now? Just curious.

 

[Harlekin]

According to some of the places I looked him up on, he doesn't have a stationary base. It'd be cool if one day we could hook him up in Gotham. He was such a secluded character in his series. (At least, that's wwhat I think from the five issues I've read.)

Yeah, he was moving around a lot, but he always came back to NY.

And we do have Adrian Chase in Gotham. He just isn't the Vigilante.

EDIT: Pat Trayce has been in limbo for a while. And there's about seven of them. There was also that Vigilante mini like two years back.

I know. I read the post. I mean, I hope we can have him as Vigilante in this RPG at some point in the future.

If you ask me, I think she should come back and get Deathstroke out of this murderous rut he's been in. I think he's been out of character for sometime. In the series he had, I found that he was more than a ruthless killer. He had a soul, and I got the feeling maybe he'd become a "walking the line" type of guy. Then he just went right back to being evil, and all the development was lost. I felt gyped, really.

 

[Harlekin]

Well, who knows. All I know is I didn't introduce him without a reason.

Selina has finally arrived at the party, I'm open for interactions!

 

[Byrd Man]

Damn you, Apprentice! Now I have to have Bruce deal with Rachel instead of doing his pimp thing at Selina.

 

[Val]

Damn you, Apprentice! Now I have to have Bruce deal with Rachel instead of doing his pimp thing at Selina.

Haha, she will be around.

 

[Harlekin]

Or Selina could just barge in on their conversation.

 

[Byrd Man]

That's a pretty good idea. Who doesn't want to talk to Bruce Wayne, Gotham's Golden Boy?

 

[Val]

If it takes too long, she will. But I'm going out soon anyway so I won't post a lot tonight.

 

[Harlekin]

That's a pretty good idea. Who doesn't want to talk to Bruce Wayne, Gotham's Golden Boy?

Exactly. It's at his house after all.

 

[Saved]

Yo, sorry for not posting. If I don't get any up today, I will tomorrow. I'm really busy right now.

"Gotham City Noir" RPG Application

Screenname: Cyrusbales

Gothamite you would like to portray: Pamela Isley

Class of society: (Choose one) Rule Breaker*

Resume: (Brief character biography) A selfish woman, who’s personality seeks after it’s own goals, as the expense of everyone else around her. She is very much a loner, BUT uses many people through her skills of seduction and physical attributes. She is nicknamed ‘Poison Ivy’, because it’s said that any man who gets involved with her is as good as dead and will wind up nothing more than cold dead decoration for the morgue.

Factoids of interest: (Special attributes - IE: Weapons, attire... anything needed to be known) Ridiculously sexy, *she has not been linked directly to any crime, and as such, she is not a wanted criminal, yet her involvement in many criminal acts seems apparent, yet how and why is far beyond the grasp of many. She has an excellent knowledge of poison’s and their application, although this is hardly ever put to use, if ever.

Known associates: (NPC's needed to be attached to your character) As they become needed, they will be properly introduced via the IC thread, however, her story is often told from a first person perspective of a character who appears to be retelling poison ivy’s story from a future perspective, see sample for reference.

Three integral reasons behind choosing the character:
1. She is the most suited character to a Noir RPG
2. She is an often underrated and poorly used character, who’s potential is amazing
3. I’ve always wanted to be a woman? No wait, I mean……L

Please provide a brief explaination behind your character's motivations (ex: What does he/she believe in? How does he/she connect with Gotham City? What grinds your character's gears?): Gotham city is an industrial city, that involves the top of society owning most of the city’s assets and money. Pamela wants to obtain this level of money and status to use for ends which are as of yet undetermined, due to her unwillingness to confide or even consult others, her true ambitions remain unknown.

File Headshot: (A picture if your character, if applicable)

Please provide a small sample post, in the format you plan to portray this identity, with three paragraphs at minimum:


It always starts with a dame, and what a dame. They used to call her ‘Poison’, I never did figure that out until now, ‘till all the pieces finally came together. I guess the whole thing started at the beginning of the new year, my office has just opened for business and she was the first person who walked in, and as soon as I saw her, I didn’t’ care if she was the last person to walk through those doors.

She was dressed in a dark green dress that somehow managed to shimmer in the dim light of the smoky room. Her legs were smooth and seemed to reach up from the floor all the way to heaven, full red locks swayed past her shoulders and down her back with every step she took towards my desk. Leaning in, emerald eyes captured my gaze as my mouth went dry just at the sight of her beauty.

“I need a man. For a job.”

I would’ve answered straight away but something was stopping me, her voice was so luscious and velvety that it’s sound almost caressed my ears. And the scent, it was how you’d imagine angels to smell, a little like sweet honeysuckle.

How could I have known that murder could sometimes smell like honeysuckle?

 

[Cyrusbales]

Also, it lets me quote some amazing movies in the process!

 

[Byrd Man]

Val, feel free to have Selina cut Rachel or Bruce off.

Well, since the other two GMs don't want to approve you or are too lazy. You're approved.

 

[Val]

What happened to everyone? Did everyone abandon this rpg?

 

[Byrd Man]

What happened to everyone? Did everyone abandon this rpg?

Tell me about it! Now cut in with Selina and we can breath some life back into it!

 

[Val]

Heh okay, I will post soon, but I may not be able to finish it up tonight

 

[Eddie Brock]

Well, this party is the first mass meeting of the PC's...so I'm letting it go awhile before breaking all Hell loose with The Joker. In the meantime, Gordon needs someone to talk to.

 

[Byrd Man]

Heh okay, I will post soon, but I may not be able to finish it up tonight

That's fine. As long as we can get the ball rolling again.

 

[Val]

There you go. It's always so hard to write dialogue with Selina.

 

[Harlekin]

Sorry that I haven't posted. I told Cyrus I would. I'm going to try and get a post up ASAP, but that may have to be tomorrow.
