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

[Franklin Richards]

Uhhhh... Spike. You guys are surrounded by 4 walls made by 4 power rings. You've got plenty of room but there is no way in hell we're gonna let Supes be thrown at the civilian district.

I don't know what alternate reality you live in to even think it was conceivable...but I kinda wish I was there.

Eiterht the Marvel RPG would have to run longer or the DC one would have to run shorter.

and it would be a HUGE amount of coordination on the part of the GM's. I don't doubt we can do it..all the GM's are linked with MSN, but we'd have to see if they're all up to it because sotories would have to keep moving and the Seasons would have to end around the relatively same time.

I'd say that we wouldn't need to make the DC RPG shorter. The Marvel RPG is already shaping up to be longer: we're north of 1000 posts, and most of the storylines still seem to be in the "foreshadowing" and "set-up" stages.

But like I said, this is just us talking, we're not planning anything serious yet. And if the idea isn't a popular one, I wouldn't go through with it. A big crossover isn't fun unless everyone (or nearly everyone) is into it.

Forgive me but where is Luthor currently?

Nobody has put up any walls yet . All that's happened so far on that front is Hal planning to put up walls.

Besides, even if the walls were up, it's not unheard of at all for constructs made with power rings to be broken. Superman has broken them plenty of times before with raw brute strength, and currently the Parasite has the strength of J'onn J'onzz (near equal to Superman), Blackrock (equal to Superman), Neutron (near equal to Superman), a zillion Riots (each of them have a small amount of superstrength), some GL power, and some of Superman's power.

In fact, I'd be completely surprised if Rudy didn't break a GL construct if he went up against one right now.

 

[Franklin Richards]

I didn't know I had to show every little detail. In TV that's called "Chopping Wood". Heh.

Hal thinks about taking a leak.
Hal lowers his zipper.
Hal pulls out his thing.
Urine comes out of Hal's thing.
Hal sighs with relief.

Sorry, I'll get more boring with my posts.

And I'm pretty tired of Green Lantern constructs breaking like balsa wood. Rudy put most of his strength into the actual punch. Supes would prolly bounce off the construct.

But ok. I guess next time I'll not waste my time by trying to contain the battle and just jump in.

We respected your privacy, can't you throw us a bone by acknowledging our "lumberjacking"?

 

[Charlie No-One]

My last post should come soon. I am not sure how long I can stay in this RPG though. I have alot of things coming up, and might only have time for one RPG.

 

[trustyside-kick]

Ditto, I plan on wrapping up the Jason/Paulie/Task thing in like 1 more post. Should be long and hopefully I can do it tonight after my evening class.

Forgive me but where is Luthor currently?

Luthor is currently in his darkend office on top of the Lexcorp towers

 

[Purple Man]

Final post for the season is up. Purple go ahead and wrap things up on your side.

Aww. I was hoping to get Roses' reaction to my last post for the season.

I had fun my first season with you guys. Especially Thorne for playing such a bad to the bone Superman, and Trigger for being such a b*tch (I mean that in a good way, I swear!), also Speedball because Superboy just isn't as interesting when he doesn't have Robin to hang with.

 

[twylight]

...Can I get an answer from Tim, Dick and Roy?

Or they come with to inform the military.

In regards to Blackrock and Neutron, I ask you to recall that post-Crisis Superman is well known for holding back a tremendous portion of his power, as he doesn't want to damage Metropolis during his battles. He has only rarely gone all out against anyone (I think Doomsday and Darkseid are the only enemies he's gone full tilt against), and I'd just like it known that Big Blue is going completely all out during this fight. Hence all the apocalyptic devastation and such going on.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Well, now that the 4th Season of the DC RPG is coming to a close, perhaps it would be fun to discuss what our aims for Season V are?

For me, my main aim is to take The Joker back to his routes. I feel that, this season, The Joker has become somewhat lost in the shuffle. Part of the cause of this has been my inability to consistently commit to the RPG this season, due to a cavalcade of other commitments. But it's more than that.

I still feel that BY FAR my best arc as The Joker was my first one, the one I did with JRK back in Season 2 that culminated in Alfred's death. I was really happy with that, and rank it as some of the best writing I've ever done. But since then, I think as my plans have got bigger and bigger - the variety of doomsday devices, the Unity arc, amassing a team of supervillains, becoming Mayor of Gotham - I've lost sight of the character himself. That's why I gave him a well-earned rest after his capture earlier this season. So I could bring The Clown Prince of Crime back with a fresh approach.

But with Season V, I really want to take The Joker back to that original intensity. When you're killing thousands at a time, it can become almost numbing. So I'm going to try and make The Joker's homicidal insanity personal, and individual, and chilling. The Joker should be a genuinely terrifying character, and I want to try and recreate that. I want to delve into that twisted mind, and really get into what makes the character tick: and so I'll be keeping him in Arkham for a while to give him an environment where such development comes naturally. And when he is eventually unleashed on the wider world, I want to make The Joker a force to be reckoned with again.

To state it simply, I won't rest until I've secured a clean sweep of the Best Villain prize at the Awards!

I don't think she would've had a dramatically different reaction. Being killed and suddenly revived (against your will) makes a person pretty cold. I think my goal for next season is to flesh out her feelings on the situation more and her finding a bigger purpose. With Super-Girl and Deathstroke around next season, Rose will get a little more time to develop.

 

[Watchman]

I have a few goals for my characters next season. I'm going to refine the character of the Scarecrow. First, I'm going to work on developing Jonathan Crane as a character. My portrayal of him will like of a Hannibal Lecter type figure. A very intellgent person, the man developed a gas that makes people see their own fears you would have to have a high level of intellgence to be able to tap into a person's brain like that, but very insane and creepy.

In one part of Hush Batman states that he does not want to speak to Scarecrow he wants to talk to Crane. I'm going to show this when Crane puts on the mask he goes from crazed professor thats obsessed with fear to something of nightmares. I'm going to make Scarecrow scary again instead of some villain who just dresses up as one. Sure there may be one threat of coating the whole city with fear gas but my other plans are just downright dreadful. He won't need the fear gas to frighten people anymore.

:gl:

Sigh... still no J'onn smiley.


Anyway, on the cross-over idea, I don't think it'd work well with a full on cross-over, but if maybe only one or two characters from each universe made the switch, it'd be more managable as it would be during a season, and those who want no part of it can avoid the character.

As for my goals with J'onn, I'm thinking of showing his "family-man" side a bit more.

 

[Batman]

With Nightwing, I want to spend more time in Bludhaven, being more of the hero that he is rather than simply Batman's protege in Gotham. Every season I've played him in, he's been in Gotham, helping with whatever problem has occured. Not this season. Of course he probably will end up there at some point, but first and foremost, he's going to be his own hero... More independant, like he is in the comics. I have other goals too, pertaining to characters like Arsenal, J'onn, and Supergirl... But I'd rather keep them quiet for now. (They all know, so it's not like I'm doing any of it without their permission.)

With Superman, I'm going to build him up from where he's left off and remind people why he is Earth's champion... and why he's the rightful leader of the Justice League. He'll take a stand against every major problem that arises, and he'll do it with confidence, because of the hero that he is. He's much more than a man that can fly, and I'm going to show that.

Though I prefer the full on crossover. This idea is interesting as well. Maybe swap Superman and Sentry, Batman and Spider-Man.

How would Superman effect the Marvel Universe? Could Spidey clean up Gotham? Would the Sentry save or destroy Metropolis? Also, Batman would fit in pretty good with more of the street level heroes.

 

[Apprentice]

Wonder Woman: Well, I'm gonna put Diana through the ringer next season. It'll be shocker after shocker after shocker, with betrayals, action, and one hell of a final battle. It's mother vs daughter, prince vs princess, friend vs enemy! One new villain will be introduced, as will a host of old foes. I want to show every aspect of Diana - Diana the warrior, Diana the princess, Diana the heroine...but most importantly, simply Diana.

Jesse Quick: Jesse never really got much respect in the main DCU, and she never made it as a hero here. She may not have been noticed when Superman fought for Metropolis, or the Justice League reformed, but she was there. Unfortunately, being there wasn't enough to make her a hero. She's a loser, and she spends her days drowning her sorrows. Then, a mystery stranger shows up offering to make her a true star. If only she realised it was too good to be true...it's time to take Jesse from zero to hero!

Stop complaining.



Also the Cross-over idea would have been it's own seperate thread/RPG.

As Keyser suggested it would have been a break from the Marvel and DC RPG's for just that one 'special' that would last for a month or two tops.

Nothing that would effect the regular running continuity of either Marvel or DC RPG

 

[wiegeabo]

Sinestro's business is his own.

But the season will end with him becoming the hero he has been working to be since coming back to Earth. Infact, I'm sort of hoping the entire JLA will be available for the culminating event. (What would be really great is if the new League never really works together as cohesive team during the season, but finally come together to work as one during the event.)

Redundant.

If it has no bearing on either game's continuity, then there's no point. It's just the One Universe RPG all over again.

Would be it's own thread? That would be wierd...I wouldn't want the crossover then. The main reason I liked it was that our characters would affect both Universes.

*shrugs*

Or not and no, it wouldn't be the One Universe.

The One Universe is a combination of Marvel and DC, no seperate timelines, it's all one large universe. All the origins are tied together, be they Marvel or DC Characters, because of this there is no defining 'DC' or 'Marvel' characters. It's all just 'One Universe'

A Cross-over would be two seperate universes meeting eachother for perhaps the first time *Depends on how we want to play it*

Anyway it's just an idea that's floating around right now. Nothing serious.

 

[Batman]

Not really. One Universe consists of every hero in their early days... none of them are really experienced at all. Plus, people play different characters over there... And everyone has a different interpretation. In premise, it would be One Universe. In storytelling, it would be anything but.

Ah, so you do intend to keep J'onn eh? That's cool.
I'll have to send you a PM.
