The "World of Heroes" DC RPG Season IV Signup/OOC Thread

[Trigger]

AND it adds the one thing that actually gives the application process necessary: the potential of being turned down.

Before, anyone could post an application and 99.9% of the time they were accepted, and then they didn't post, or they were illegible, or they didn't follow the rules, or they just plain sucked. This should weed out the problems.

Can I use a former post from any other RPG when doing the app for next season? I've been rather bland here, but I've had my moments outside of this RPG.

 

[trustyside-kick]

I hope I did not screw up any past continuity of Gotham with my latest post. If so let me know and I can fix.

 

[Speedball]

Damn, did Superman really do that to Gog?

Is Superboy going to overreact and try and throw down with Kal-El?

Definitly. Might be a good time for Supergirl to show up with some divine intervention.

Speedball is giving up Robin for Gog? Now I'll have to give up Superboy for Ambush Bug.

After what Superman did, he's gonna need revenge. For that and other things. My Gog isn't the same Gog in the RPG at the moment, he has his own agenda.

 

[Purple Man]

That still doesn't justify you ditching Robin! He loved you!

I'm so kidding. I wasn't questioning your motives for using Gog, we're just going to need a new Robin.

And a new Superboy after I leave him for Ambush Bug.

 

[Charlie No-One]

Next season is that trial two character thing. He isn't ditching Robin, at least I don't think.

 

[Speedball]

I'd love to keep Robin, but I thought we weren't allowed to have two characters.
If we are, then sure I'll stay as Robin.

<Gamemaster Announcement>

Due to a few suggestions, the issue of a trial period for two character player rights is up for vote.

If you'd like to allow two character players in the DC RPG for next season please reply with:

YES or NO

at the beginning of your post.
If you have anything further to add to the discussion please write it after your vote.

​

With the following provision:

Okay, since I'm a GM here, I'm going to make a proposition:

It seems that everyone is casting opinion based on nothing that's been proven as of yet. Some people feel it would be good without knowing if the quality would suffer. Some people feel it would be bad without knowing if the RPG would improve.

So, I say we only do it for a trial basis. Nothing more, nothing less. If people like it, we'll keep it. If they don't, we don't do it anymore, and the RPG goes back to the way it is now.

I'm not saying this out of bias. twy gave me the go ahead, since I'm playing Superman only until LT returns, to keep Nightwing aswell, so it's a non-issue for me now. I'm doing this because I want to be fair to everyone else, because I don't feel right doing it when other people obviously want two characters.

But rather than make the rule an official rule, due to my position, I'm offering this to side with the people against it, aswell. I don't want to come off as an ass to anyone... I never have wanted to.

Anyway... What do you guys think? Trial-Basis... Sound plauseable?

This vote ENDS TODAY @ 3:00pm EST/12:00pm PST

[Sentry2005]

Trail season?

Trial

 

[Charlie No-One]

Opps. I suck at spelling.

 

[Sentry2005]

Opps. I suck at spelling.

Lol, so do I. So does Q... I think we all do. In our own ways at least

 

[Charlie No-One]

Yay! The "no" people are winning.

 

[Speedball]

I do'nt scuk att spelingg

 

[Sentry2005]

I do'nt scuk att spelingg

I noes, I woz jus maykin himm pheel bettre... u no ur teh roxxers @ spelingg

 

[Speedball]

lol!
I constantly have to go back and fix stuff.
And I always forget the I before E rule.
I had SHIELD spelled like SHEILD for about 2 months in my location.

 

[Sentry2005]

Lol, yeah, I sometimes forget the little rules. My main problem is that I type quite fast, and so I miss something, and just hit 'submit reply', and then I notice the little things later... like constantly sp[elling the as teh because i've typed to fast. It's lame

 

[Sentry2005]

See!! Frickin unbeleivable

 

[Purple Man]

YES!

I am for the two player registration act, and will hunt down anyone who opposes.

Civil war has taken over the DC RPG. Both my Teen Titan buddies, and Superman are against the act? I'm sorry, but you are now criminals and must be treated in kind.

Let's just not let this spill over into the rpg.

Though it might because I think Superboy is about to try and lay the smack down on Superman for frying Gogs' brain.

Cloned kids just don't understand that sometimes adults have to turn another adult into a vegetable.

 

[Speedball]

Maybe...
Maybe...
Something should happen to Robin, and it's Superman's fault?

 

[Supergirl]

Damn, did Superman really do that to Gog?

Is Superboy going to overreact and try and throw down with Kal-El?

Definitly. Might be a good time for Supergirl to show up with some divine intervention.

Speedball is giving up Robin for Gog? Now I'll have to give up Superboy for Ambush Bug.

No, trust me here. I have something planned Plus if she came back and found things just like she left them (Supes abusing his power) she'd just be more disheartened

 

[wiegeabo]

I don't see me on the vote list, but I voted Yes because it's a trial.

 

[Spike_x1]

I don't see me on the vote list either, under NO, but maybe my vote wasn't counted because I'm leaving.

Oh well. Doesn't matter to me.

How did you find out about this game, Recruitment thread/word of post/seeing the RPG OOC/IC thread? Twy convinced me to join. A long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.



Please provide a small sample post with original content in the style that you plan to write your character in:

Kay, here's a tease of whats to come

This post continues from the middle of Season III:

Kara watched as both her mentors flew off in search of their quarries.
Sigh. I guess that means I have to go hunt down Mr. Twinkle Toes. I guess I could try the easy way first...

She touches the buckle on her belt and it pops off, revealing itself as a small device looking alot like a cell phone. "Titans. This is Kara. Bart, if you're there we need you. Repeat, Kid Flash we need your help."

"Kara. This is Cyborg. Bart swung by here a couple days ago. He ditched his costume and his comm. He said he needed some alone time."

Damn. So much for the easy way out. Now, where would the fastest kid alive spend down time? Daytona? Nah, too obvious. Vegas? Nah, he doesn't look anywhere close enough to play in the fastest city in the world. Wait. He said something about wanting to vacay in Cabo some time. I guess thats as good a place to start as any.

She flew out of the Fortress northward, but not far enough to get anywhere near the states as she ducked into Cabo San Lucas. She scanned the area with her x-ray vision, and sure enough Bart was perched on a stool at Sammy Hagar's Cabo Wabo. She quick switched to her Linda outfit to avoid the mob, and walked into the bar.

"BARTHOLEMEW HENRY ALLEN! Just what in God's name do you think you're doing?"

"Well, I was trying to get drunk, but my body won't let me. My metabolism kills the buzz off of Everclear before it even hits me. The only plus side is I met the Red Rocker and Mad Anthony. They rock." He flashed Kara the metal hand gestures and then turned back to the bar. "What are YOU doing here, Linda? Gonna try to drag me back to the Tower? Sorry, but I still need time to myself. I've been through alot in the last five years/three weeks or however long you want to call it, and I can't concentrate on anything right now. I know I was there for a long time, but I don't remember anything from there. Not one thing. The only five things I remember are either stuck here with us, or related to me. Whatever you needed me for, I can't do it right now Linda. I'msorry."
As his words slurred together at the end, Kara could tell he was nervous, and really wanted to be left alone.

"I understand Bart. Come back to us... and me, when you're ready. I think I can speak for anyone that we miss you." She kissed him on the cheek and flew off back towards the fortress.

Flying away from Mexico, tears rolled down Kara’s cheek.

I can’t deal with all this right now. My cousin just beat me bloody, but seems okay now, my boyfriend needs time to recover from getting zapped to the future and then deaged five years. I think I need some time off too. They’ll understand, they’ll have to.

With that she changed her flight path and rocketed straight up. Towards space. As she flew out of the atmosphere she rolled over and looked back at the blue and green globe that was her adopted home. That made her think of the home that she had barely known before her father had tried to send her to care for her cousin.

What is left of my home planet? Are there any relics that survived? Any pieces of home? Only one way to truly find out, but first I have to go to STAR Labs…

She turned around, and flew back down to the nearest STAR Labs complex.

“SUPERGIRL! What brings you to STAR Labs Dallas?”

“I need a lead suit, and I know most STAR complexes have them for easy access by my cousin.”

“Sure thing Sgirl, anything wrong?” He motioned to an intern. “Can you get Supergirl one of the lead suits?”

The intern ran off to get the suit and the director turned back to his guest.

“No, not really. Just need to go look at something, and want to cover my bases. Say, can you get a message to SL: Metropolis for me?”

“Yeah, what?”

“Have them tell my cousin that I’m fine. I just needed to find out who I really am.”

The intern returned with a lead suit with a visored hood.

“I’ll get an email off to them this afternoon. Good luck Supergirl.”

As she put on the suit, she turned back to him. “Thanks. For everything.”

She put the helmet on and stood tall for a moment before taking back off towards space.
