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

...and now... the semi-annual (not really cuz this is the first time)

DC WORLD OF HEROES RPG
GREEN LANTERN APPROVED FAN AWARDS!
​
BEST STORYLINE: The Genesis Strain/Metropolis Season Ending Arc

BEST HERO: LibrarianThorne as Superman really set the bar for his successor

BEST VILLAIN: Spike's Parasite. What a brilliant end to a great long running story and character in this RPG. Way to send him off Spike :up:

BEST DEVELOPED CHARACTER: Twylight's "Mystery Woman" the fact that she has a whole backstory crafted and plotted out for what exactly happened to Dinah, is amazing. It shows in her portrayal.

BEST FIGHT: Is it possible to award this one to anyone other than LT and Spike? Honestly?

BEST POST: ​

LibrarianThorne said:
The Fortress of Solitude was abuzz with activity. Dozens of golden, floating robots, powered by technology Lois Lane couldn't even concieve of.

"Kelex! What in the name of God is going on?"

The little robot turned its expressionless face toward Sam Lane's daughter. "I cannot say, Mrs. Lane. The Master would not want me to tell you."

A cold fear gripped her heart. "Wouldn't want you to tell me what, Kelex?"
"I apologize, Mrs. Lane. This is one of my highest protocols."
"Fine then, what's the name of this damned protocol?" said Lois, her natural reporter instincts taking over. She knew, in her heart of hearts, something had happened to Clark. Something bad. And now these guardians, these housekeepers, wouldn't tell her what.
"Doomsday/Failure."

Deep in the bowels of the Fortress, six Superman robots came to life. Their costumes were similar to Superman's, save for one striking difference. Their S-shields were black. They spoke, vocal transmitters relaying the last instruction of the Jor-El command. "Enact program: Temple of Peace."

The robots flew out of the Fortress, streaking past a still confused Lois Lane.

"What was that?!"
"A subroutine activating, Mrs. Lane."
She grabbed the robot, heedless of her own still recovering state. In her gut, she could feel it. The same tight, cold ball of fear that had gripped her six years ago. She knew, but she had to hear it.
"God damn you, Kelex! What happened to Clark?!"
"Please wait. You will know in approximately twenty minutes."

Six blue and black figures streaked across the sky. With sensors more advanced than anything on Earth, they located the resting place of the Man of Tomorrow. They descended into the midst of the heroes around Superman's body. One of them strode to the body, and lifted it off of the emerald altar. It turned, and spoke to the assembled heroes.

"Command Last Rite /execute." The robot's face changed almost imperceptibly, becoming softer, more human. More like his face, an odd sight giving the body the robot held. "Hello, everyone."

The voice was his, and the robot looked at each hero in the eye as it spoke. "I recorded this to beread in the worst case scenario. If you're hearing this, it means I'm dead. Again. Wow, that sounded really weird to say," the robot chuckled as it said the uncomfortable sounding line. "But the fact remains. Something I didn't tell many of you, my earlier... resurrection, I'd guess you'd call it, was a one time thing. The Fortress no longer has the ability to resuscitate me, so... this is it. I've instructed these robots to recover my body, and play this recording. A last will with robots, I guess. What's going to happen is this: they will take my body to the Fortress. Even now, I bet the Fortress is changing. It's becoming a monument to... me, I guess. One last protocol my father had hardwired into the Fortress software. I may not be around, any more, but through the Fortress, my legacy and example will live on. I hope that will be enough."

The robot sighed, and inclined its head as he so often did when he didn't know what to say. "This is so macabre, but I have to do it. I'm sorry that I'm leaving you all so suddenly. I'm sorry I couldn't stay longer, and-and I hope that the good I've done will be more important than me. Don't mourn me, you already did that the first time. I know a lot of you must be sad, and I don't even want to think about what Batman would be doing right now, but listen to me this one, last time. Being who we are, doing what we do, was never supposed to be safe or easy. Many of us have died fighting this never ending battle, some of us more than once. We're all used to dealing with loss, and my last wish is for all of you to be even better heroes than you were when I was here. People all over the world look to us and our example, and our actions will always speak louder than our words. Go out, today, and make someone believe not in a man who can fly, but in themselves. End recording."

The robots flew away, leaving some staring at the sky.

Five minutes later, they entered the main lobby of the Fortress. Lois Lane and Kelex emerged from a side chamber. The body was placed on a strange crystalline altar, one that hadn't been there a few minutes before. On each side of the altar was the S-shield of Superman.

Lois Lane gasped. She ran over to the altar, her mouth suddenly dry. She put her hands on his scarred, bloody face. So like the last time.

"Clark..." No more words left her mouth. She buried her face on his chest, and began sobbing uncontrollably.

BEST ROOKIE: This one is tough. I'll have to tip my hat to Trigger's Rose though. Good job.​

BEST TEAMUP: Yeah, so sue me, I'm gonna toot my own horn here... :p I really enjoyed bantering and teaming up with Master Bruce's Nightwing

FUNNIEST POST: No, not gonna toot my own horn again... it'll go to MB for this one:

BIGGEST SHOCK: If I hadn't been in on it, probably Twy's character's identity. Being that I was in on that one, Superman's Death.
 
Screen Name: Syn (Mercenary)

Character you would like to play: Deathstroke

Powers: Enhanced physical attributes,
heightended mental capacity allowing superhuman thinking speed and calculation,
heightened regeneration and instantaneous reflexes,
master martial artist and tactician,
hi-tech equipment.

Group your character is aligned with (if applicable): Lex Luthors Secret Soceity of Villians

Three reasons why you have chosen that character:

1) He isn't a villian, he's a hired Mercenary.

2) He's had a hell of a life with his son's deaths at his fault, his wife hating him, and being beaten by tennagers. LOL

3) He's like.

Write two complete sentences using proper English grammar explaining what you plan to do with the character you've chosen (i.e. What are your goals? Will you be doing anything different with the character than is usually seen?): To get revenge with the Titans, work with Luthor and any other villians in the Soceity, and completing any jobs that I am hired to do. I will be playing Deathstroke as close as I can to him in the comics. (Teen Titans, Deathstroke The Hunted/Terminator, etc.)

How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: as many as my character is needed, but at leats 5-10 a day, if not more.

Color and font you plan on using for your characters speech (Might not be applicable but it makes the roster pretty): bold gray.

Do you have an Instant Messenger? Which one, and what is your screen name? No Sadly.

How did you find out about this game, Recruitment thread/word of post/seeing the RPG OOC/IC thread? I was looking for a DC RPG.

Please provide a small sample post with original content in the style that you plan to write your character in: But being so good could get you killed. Thanks for cooperating...my good fellow.
 
This season's pretty well over bud, and we have a Deathstroke next season, sorry.
 
So...if this is season 4, is it over?
 
Isn't it best Newcomer and not best Rookie?

Only a few posters have to post their season ending posts. Season V will start shortly after this season ends. Feel free to apply for a different character in the ""World of Heroes" DC RPG Season V Signup/OOC Thread" On this same page.

Click to expand...
Aren't they the same thing? Rookie sounds better and more professional than Newcomer I think, so I used that.
 
They are but we've always had Newcomer as the title of the award.
 
Meh, it wasn't in the awards Spike had, so I added it to the list. Does everyone's titles for awards have to be the same?
 
Well no, I guess not. Its just always had that title, I mean you don;t see people changing best villian to best "bad guy" ect...

I did so have Best Newcomer in my list. Ignorant meanie. :mad:
 
Not the one a few pages back that I copy/pasted before you posted the new one :cmad:
 
Yeah, I was in the middle of writing out my awards when you reposted the list ;)

Jeez, get with the times, Grandpa. :whatever:

:D
 
Anyway, I'll have my nominations up sometime tonight hopefully.
 
Screen Name: Syn (Mercenary)

Character you would like to play: Brainiac (no number)

Powers: Vast intellect, Vast superhuman physical capabilities and energy manipulation powers derived from cybernetic body

Group your character is aligned with (if applicable): None (unless persuaded)

Three reasons why you have chosen that character:

1) Brainiac is my favorite DC villian.

2) He is Superman's seond dealiest foe.

3) He thinks what he does is right because its for the sake of knowledge. (Meaning he doesn't know he's being evil)

Write two complete sentences using proper English grammar explaining what you plan to do with the character you've chosen (i.e. What are your goals? Will you be doing anything different with the character than is usually seen?): My goals are the quest for universal knowledge and the destruction of Superman. I will be playing Brainiac as a mixture from the comics, Smallville, and the DCAU (DC aninated universe).

How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: as much as my character is needed. If he isn't involved at that moment, I won't post, if he is in the current plot, I'll post alot. But at least 4-8 times.

Color and font you plan on using for your characters speech (Might not be applicable but it makes the roster pretty): bold green

Do you have an Instant Messenger? Which one, and what is your screen name? No

How did you find out about this game, Recruitment thread/word of post/seeing the RPG OOC/IC thread? I was looking for a DC RPG

Please provide a small sample post with original content in the style that you plan to write your character in: Infernal Kryptonian! I have collided with him enough times to last a dozen lives!
 
Syn. As I've explained. Post in the Season V thread. This season is nearly done, and no longer accepting applications. Also, you need to work a little on your application before we'd accept it.
 
Best Story The Genesis Strain Arc. No question.

It had all of the makings of a good JLA story. Especially given that the team had split up before this. Dinah's return, Hal and GA's team-up, Superman's EPIC battle with Parasite... Hell, even my stuff with GL as Arsenal... It had pretty much everything.

Best Hero wieg came close. Very close. He's made Sinestro a very credible hero, despite the character always being associated with villiany. However, it just had to be...

Superman (LibrarianThorne)

Aside from spot-on characterisation, to a level I've never seen in either roleplaying or fan-fiction... LT let his imagination run wild with this, and it shows. From the way he writes the powers, to the dialogue, to the way he DIED... It all feels like something Superman... a greatly written Superman... would do. It's going to be tough filling in those shoes. (Or Boots, rather. :o)

Best Villain Parasite (Spike_x1)

No real explantion needed here. Like LT, He excelled in something I'm usually very picky about... characterisation, or faithfulness to how a character is portrayed. He did it with The Joker, He did it with Lex Luthor, and he's done it again with Rudy Jones. I can't wait to start interacting with him in the Ultimate DC RPG.

Best Newcomer Apprentice (Wonder Woman)

He knows my reasonings from the Marvel RPG. Basically, switch the names of his characters to Wonder Woman, and you have the same reasons. He's going to have a very, very good career in RPG writing ahead of him.

Best Fight Superman vs. Parasite (LibrarianThorne/Spike_x1)

Everything a comic book character fight should be. Emotion true to each character. Larger than life attacks on one another. Epic deaths, reminding us that no heroes and villians are safe depending on the writer. Not even the Man Of Steel.

Funniest Post ...Part of me hates to do this, considering it was an insult to my character... but god, was it funny, given the circumstances...

"Pfft. Like I'd wanna. On the other hand with talent like this, I can put Justin Timberlake to shame... that and I'm hotter too.

Oh the world will sing of an English King
A thousand years from now
And not because he passed some laws
Or had that lofty brow
While bonny good King Richard leads
The great crusade he's on
We'll all have to slave away
For that good-for-nothin' John

Incredible as he is inept
Whenever the history books are kept
They'll call him the phony king of England
A pox on the phony king of England!

He sits alone on a giant throne
Pretendin' he's the king
A little tyke who's rather like
A puppet on a string
And he throws an angry tantrum
if he cannot have his way
And then he calls for Mum while he's suckin' his thumb
You see, he doesn't want to play

Too late to be known as John the First
He's sure to be known as John the worst
A pox on that phony king of England!

While he taxes us to pieces
And he robs us of our bread
King Richard's crown keeps slippin' down
Around that pointed head
Ah! But while there is a merry man
in Robin's wily pack
We'll find a way to make him pay
And steal our money back

The minute before he knows we're there
Ol' Rob'll snatch his underwear
The breezy and uneasy king of England
The snivellin' grovellin'
Measly weasely
Blabberin' jabberin'
Gibberin' jabberin'
Blunderin' plunderin'
Wheelin' dealin'
Prince John, that phony king of England
Yeah"

I've had a blast working with GL, this season. And if any of you thought this stuff was good, you're gonna have to see what we have in store for Season V... :D

Best Post It's not up yet, But I've read it. I had to, given that I'm going to be writing the character from that point on. But this award goes to LibrarianThorne's final post as Superman. You guys are in for a real treat.
 
Oh, thought you meant I could do it here. Sorry.

This RPG continuity is based off of the comics, and thus, there is no reason why he should have elements from the DCAU or Smallville's interpretation of the character (which are both vastly different from the comic incarnation).
 
Although people have used aspects from the animated in the past... like the guy who played John Stewart way back when...
