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

[batnkevlar]

Yeah, i believe the mindwipe of Luthor ala Faust predated Identity Crisis, if I'm not mistaken...

 

[LibrarianThorne]

Let's not do Infinite Crisis just yet, please.

I have plans for those in the crystal heaven, ones that I've had planned for quite some time. Since at least halfway through the last season.

And I swear now, if you guys want a Crisis, what I have in mind will make Geoff Johns look small time.

 

[batnkevlar]

Well, it's not so much the Crisis itself, it's the events in it... hmm... how do I explain it... well, we wouldn't update the RPG completely to line up with DC continuity, but you have to understand, this was made three or so years ago, and things have changed... we have to change with the times...

haha, jus kidding... kinda...

we have to line it up enough... like Bart isn't becoming the Flash, not on my watch... but Bart will age, and he might fight against a return of Bombshell (Teen Titans OYL), but how can he do that, if, in continuity, they never met?

or Robin's father's death?

or the recent Rogue War in Flash?

Or Captain Boomerang's death?

certain things, such as the Sinister Six, would also be a good thing to have...

now if you want, we can have a "month" or two inbetween this season and the next. At the beginning, we can jump forward a month or so, and each player can boost his storyline so it fights a tiny bit closer to DCU continuity... what do you think? You can pick and choose, but certain events liek Identity Crisis, can be summarized and changed a little in the intro post of the new season, written by me if you want...

 

[Harlekin]

Robin's dad's already dead, I'm sure. Zoom killed him in season 2 I believe.

 

[batnkevlar]

Oh, that works too... either way, as long as we get similar outcomes, even though they're different ways...

Hell, I always considered the Unity arc to be something akin to IC anyway. However, I'd love to see how you'd make Johns looks small time. t:

 

[Johnny Blaze]

Technically speaking, the events of Day of Vengeance took place in this RPG to a certain extent. Back in Season II while the mini was going on, I had the Spectre come to the Rock of Eternity and battle Shazam. Shazam beat the Spectre, but Mordru was able to escape in the fight.
Fate was also trapped in his helmet by the Spectre, which is where the Dark Lord found Hector after he was free and how he took over Fate's Tower and artifacts.

The rest of the Dark Alliance arc I think is fairly well known.

 

[batnkevlar]

byrdman, you know that Wally was bluffing, right? It's a "tactic" he learned from Batman...

anad wiegeabo, Wally needs to have a meeting with Jay... like, as soon as you can... I'll set it up if you want...

 

[Byrd Man]

anad wiegeabo, Wally needs to have a meeting with Jay... like, as soon as you can... I'll set it up if you want...

I know that. But Bart doesn't . Oh and I call dibs on the old man. We have an arc together. [BLACKOUT]Jay teaches Bart to drive.[/BLACKOUT]

 

[wiegeabo]

I hope to be finished with Jay soon. I want him to be there at the end, or after the end, of Dinah and Deathstroke.

If that's not ok, though, I've got another way to get Jay out of what he's going through.

 

[batnkevlar]

What about a Flash family picnic?

 

[Byrd Man]

What about a Flash family picnic?

That would be cool, or a family Barbeque after Wally gets his house rebuilt.

 

[batnkevlar]

Well yeah, but we need a place to stay for the time being... I was thinking Jay's house...

 

[Byrd Man]

Well yeah, but we need a place to stay for the time being... I was thinking Jay's house...

Wow. Jay, Joan, Bart, Wally, Linda, and their twins. Someone's gonna start paying rent. The whole Flash family under one roof.

 

[Johnny Blaze]

Huh, who knew the Flash's were bums.

 

[wiegeabo]

Well yeah, but we need a place to stay for the time being... I was thinking Jay's house...

I've got no problem with that. It'll do Jay good to be around family after what's happened.

 

[Spike_x1]

Hey LT, can you tell me what issue it was where Superboy and Robin fought Metallo? I wanna go on the hunt for back issues!

 

[LibrarianThorne]

Hey LT, can you tell me what issue it was where Superboy and Robin fought Metallo? I wanna go on the hunt for back issues!

I'm not sure. I read the scans on either scans_daily or fullscans_daily. I'm almost positive it was an issue of Superboy, mayber something in the twenties? If you can finda cover archive site, I believe it's the first Superboy issue with Robin on the cover, and I know it predates Young Justice by a fair bit.

 

[batnkevlar]

What happened to Jay?

 

[wiegeabo]

What happened to Jay?

What do you mean?

 

[batnkevlar]

I've got no problem with that. It'll do Jay good to be around family after what's happened.

That's the question...

Well... that too...

 

[wiegeabo]

Do you mean why Jay is acting the way he is? Ted's murder at the hands of Deathstroke have pushed Jay beyond the edge. He's falling into the darkness he's always avoided.

And he's being guided by Wrath to things that just make his anger grow.

 

[Johnny Blaze]

Poor Jay. I wonder what he'll do when Joan dies?



I mean if Joan died...

 

[Byrd Man]

I'm a *****e bag

Feel free to tear apart this app, you'll find that it's indestructible. And yes, I did get permission from Batman.


DC RPG Season V Application

Screen Name: byrd_man

Character you would like to play: Oliver Queen/Green Arrow

Powers: None, although Ollie is advanced in martial arts and is a marksman with a bow and arrow.

Group your character is aligned with (if applicable): Arrow Family, JLA.

Three reasons why you have chosen that character:

1) Alright, alright. So I don't know much about Connor, but Ollie is a diffrent story. I got the GL/GA series, The Longbow Hunters, Kevin Smith's run, The Archer's Quest....so yeah, I know him kinda well.

2) I played Ollie in the One Universe RPG, but I played the cocky, confident, young Ollie who was just beginning his carrer in crimefighting. I want to play a more experienced and settled down verson of The Emerald Archer.

3) Plus, there's Ollie's personality, It's about as far away from my personality as I could get. The rich, liberal, playboy and social crusader. Plus Dinah is the only member of the Arrow Family in the game. We need some more.

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?): Well, considering Batman did a good job as him, I want to follow up on his run and do somethings of my own. Another thing I want to do is do some political stuff, I mean Ollie is a liberal in a George W. Bush america....I got a lot of ammo.

How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: as many as I want to.

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

Do you have an Instant Messenger? Which one, and what is your screen name? MSN: [email protected]

How did you find out about this game, Recruitment thread/word of post/seeing the RPG OOC/IC thread? I stumbled upon it while looking for news on IC

Please provide a small sample post with original content in the style that you plan to write your character in (must be at least 3 paragraphs long and contain at least one line of dialogue):

Star City, California

He's moving pretty fast for a fat man, must be the meth. Methanphetamine has infested my city like a bad virus, and I got just the perscription. I look down from my perch on the building ledge and pull an arrow out of my quiver, I've got only one chance. I pull back on the bow string and aim.

The arrow goes flying through the air, striking the fat man on his collar and pinning him to a nearby wall. I jump off the building and land right next to him as he struggles.

"How ya doin big boy? Looks like someone went to visit the candyman tonight, spill the beans tubby, Who's your pusher?"

He just shakes his head feverently, thrashing out at me.

"No man! I ain't telling."

"Aww, that's a shame. Looks like Uncle Ollie is gonna have to make piggie wiggie squeel."

I pull a syringe out of one of my pouches and shoot him up with sodium pentothal. His thrashing subsides as the drug runs through his veins.

"So tell me fatty fatty boom ba latty, feel like hollering souie yet?"

His head slumps, He's under my control now.

"So tell me, Where did you get the hook up from?"

"From....From Doctor Hook, He's got a operation down on the docks."

Dr. Hook, been hearing his name on the mouths of many people. He was know as Ken Hookman at one time, a well to do doctor with his own practice in Star, but then he was caught taking money from druggies for needles and perscriptions. He got his liscene revoked and got into a more profitable business, the drug business. It's about time I put a stop to him.

"Let me go man!"

I take my right hand and cold cock him. I dislodge my arrow and he falls to the ground.

"There, you're free."


I run into the night heading west toward the Star City waterfront.

***********************************************

There's two guards at the front of the warehouse, there big and they both have an AK-47 clenched in there meaty hands.

I pick out a speical arrow out of my quiver and fire it in the center of the two guards, purple smoke bellows out, sending the two watch dogs into dreamland.

I sneak through the front door and make my way past half awake jukies and ****es to the heart of the factory. Dr. Hook himself is sitting on a chair surronded by the finest crack hoes this city has to offer.

"Oh baby, I'll do so many things to you. All I need is a little hit."

"Here you go!"

I pull back on the bow and send another speical arrow flying towards the crack ****e. This one is a regular arrow but with a boxing glove on the end.

It hits her in the face and she slumps to the ground.

"Who the f**k is that? Somebody shoot that f**ker!"

Guns explode with noise as bullets fly all around me. I run as fast as I can, dodging bullets and shrapnel. I run past a barrel when Hook hollers out.

"NO! Don't hit that bar-"

That's all he can get out as bullets penitrate the container containing raw meth, highly flammable, the explosion rocks the warehouse as I fly through the air and crash through a window.

I turn to see the warehouse going up in smoke and flames.

"Well, It ain't exactly what I planned but, results are results."

I pick myself off the ground and head off into the night, sirens ringing in the distance.

[LibrarianThorne]

How's everyone liking my Superboy so far? The style's a pretty big departure from what I usually do, and I'm not really sure I've got the character's "voice", if that makes any sense.
