After some thought, I've finally decided on my second character...
Screen Name: Johnny Blaze
Character you would like to play: Mirror Master (Evan McCulloch)
Powers: Evan is just a regular Scotsman, but is a skilled hitman with training in hand-to-hand fighting. The government gave him the weapons and identity of the first Mirror Master, Sam Scudder, and tried to use him as an agent. He eventually turned on them and set out on his own, eventually joining the Rogues. McCulloch can travel through any reflective surfaces using his mirror technology and can trap people into other dimensions, some worse than Hell. He has been shown to be able to interact physically with people through their reflections (slitting the reflections throat is mirrored by the real person), he can turn people to glass with his gun, create life like illusions and copies of himself, and has a variety of other mirror related gadgets and weapons at his disposal.
Group your character is aligned with (if applicable): The Rogues
Three reasons why you have chosen that character: The Mirror Master is my favorite Rogue, just beating out Cold. I enjoyed playing him before and I'm ready for another run. I loooooove villains, what can I say?
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?): I can't really give too much away, but I plan on showing the Mirror Master as the deadly merc for hire that he is (that isn't really showed too much in the comics). There's also a few loose ends to tie up from previous seasons that I plan to touch up on. I also plan to do some things with the Rogues to bring them back to prominance.
How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: As many as need be, life permiting.
Color and font you plan on using for your characters speech (Might not be applicable but it makes the roster pretty): DarkOrange, Bold, with Comic Sans MS
Do you have an Instant Messenger? Which one, and what is your screen name: MSN: PM for screen name if you need to get hold of me
How did you find out about this game, Recruitment thread/word of post/seeing the RPG OOC/IC thread: I stumbled upon it a few seasons back and have been here ever since.
Please provide a small sample post with original content in the style that you plan to write your character in:
Youre late, McCulloch.
Aye, I know, Captain, said the Mirror Master as he enter the Rogues warehouse headquarters via a large mirror in the corner.
I ran inta a few old...friends.
Whatever. Pull up a seat and grab a beer. We can deal you in.
Sounds like a plan, my good Captain, replies McCulloch with a smile as he grabs a cold beer from a nearby cooler and pulls up a chair.
The table was a small one, but it sat the four Rogues comfortably. Mirror Master sat down next in between Cold and Mark Mardon, the Weather Wizard. Across the table from him sat the original Trickster, James Jesse.
So, whats th game, gents?
Seven stud, straight up, said Jesse as he dealt out the cards, two face down and one face up.
Mirror Master looked at the cards that were showing on the table. Cold had the highest showing with a king of clubs, Mardon had the next in line with a jack of hearts, he had the next high card with a nine of clubs, and Jesse was in the rear with a six of spades.
Raise, twenty.
So, whats the word ona street? Still no clue who killed poor ol Heat Wave?
Call. And no...nothing, said the Trickster with a hint of anger as he dealt the next round of cards.
Call, said the Weather Wizard.
I call yer bet, Captain.
Heat Wave had been one of them, one of the Rogues, and that made him family. But, not too long ago, when the wizard Mordru and his Dark Alliance attacked Keystone, he was found dead. The Rogues dont take too kindly to someone murdering one of their own, and they fully intend to find out who it was who killed Mick Rory and see that they suffer.
Dont worry, James, said Captain Cold,
Well find the bastard, and then theyll wish theyve never been born.
Looking at the table after the second round of dealing, Cold had the top hand showing still with his second card being the ace of spades, giving him a Big Slick with an ace and a king showing. James Jesse jumped up to have the second best hand when he got a king of diamonds with his second card, giving him a king and a six. Mardon was bumped down to third highest hand with his second card being a two of diamonds. McCulloch was now sitting at the bottom rung with his first card being a nine and his second being a six of hearts.
So, any of you all catch that show on the History Channel last night about the Flash and his Keystone Rogues?
HA! Yeah, I did catch that one, Mardon, said Cold as he bet forty more dollars on his ace/king.
Yeah, I seen it too, said James Jesse as he called the bet,
I especially loved the part where you were voted the one with the lamest name. Hahahahaha!
Careful, Jesse, said a frowning Cold.
Relax Leonard, said the Weather Wizard as he called the bet as well,
its just some stupid internet fan poll.
Yeah, said McCulloch with a smile as he called the bet,
if ye want, Captain, Im sure we can get Calculator ta trace all em little buggers who voted fr you, sos ye can get some revenge.
Very funny, McCulloch, said Cold as the Trickster finished dealing out the third round of cards.
After the third round of cards, Cold still sat in front with a pair of kings and an ace kicker. McCulloch had moved into second with a pair of nines and a six kicker. Jesse was in third with a pair of sixes with a king kicker. Mardon held up the rear with a jack, a ten, and a two.
Nice dealin, Trickster, said Cold as he saw he had the highest pair showing.
Ill bet a hundred.
Dammit..., said Trickster with a frown as he tried to figure out what Cold was holding.
I fold, said Jesse as he slapped his cards down on the table.
Hmm, yeah...Ill call, said Weather Wizard after looking at his cards for a half a minute.
McCulloch looked at his down cards and at his face up cards, and scratched his chin in thought.
Well, Evan? You gonna call my bet or not?
Chill, Captain, McCulloch said with a smile as his comment drew some snickers from his other brothers in the Rogues,
Ill call ye.
All right, three players left, said James Jesse as he dealt the final round of face up cards.
After the round was dealt, Cold still had top hand with a pair of kings, an ace, and a four of hearts. Mcculloch was still in second with a pair of nines, a six, and a ten of spades. Mardon still held up the rear with a jack, a ten, a two, and a queen.
One-fifty, said cold as he threw the money into the pile.
Call, said Weather Wizard.
So, said Jesse as he looked as his fellows around the table,
did you all catch the game last night?
Yeah, said Cold with a cocky smile,
Combines really took it to Gotham.
I missed it, said Mardon,
what was the final score?
The Combines beat em six to three, said the Mirror Master as he called the bet.
Good game too. Lots a good hits.
All right, said Jesse,
last round. Down and dirty.
The three remaining players in the hand each looked at their final card, which was dealt face down. Cold, still having the best hand showing, opened the betting for the final round.
All right. Since this is the last round...I bet three hundred.
The large bet drew a whistle from Trickster,
Nice bet, Snart. Must be holding something good over there.
Ill see your three, said Mardon who had grown serious after getting that final card,
and raise you another two.
Damn, said Jesse as he nodded his head.
Five to stay in, McCulloch.
Aye, Ill call the five.
And all call his two, said Cold.
Well, lets see what youve got.
Cold flipped his down cards over, showing a pair of aces and a three.
Full house, aces over kings.
Dammit", shouted Mardon as he slamed his card on the table.
"Nice hand, Captain, said Weather Wizard with a respectful nod,
beats my straight.
Aye, its a good hand ifn I ever did see one, Evan said with a frown. The comment did bring a cocky smile to Colds face as he began to reach for the pile of money.
BUT, said McCulloch to stop the Captains move for the cash,
It doesnt beat four of a kind.
God dammit! screamed an angry Cold as a laughing Mirror Master collected the large pile of money.
Cheer up, boyo. Theres still plenty a cards ta be played.
All right, my deal, said Mardon as he grabbed the deck from Trickster.
Five card stud, deuces wild.
Dammit Mardon, said a still POed Cold,
you know I hate games with these kiddy wildcards crap.
Which is why I love them, said a smiling Trickster which drew a laugh from McCulloch and Weather Wizard as Mardon dealt out the cards.
