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.

You really are. :cmad:

Approved. :up:
 
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.

It's only been a few posts, but I think you're doing good thus far. :up:
 
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! :up:


Superman/Batman #7. But if you don't already have it, pick up the far superior Superboy/Robin tale in Superman/Batman #26. Saddest comic book I've read in quite some time. Possibly ever.
 
I don't think that's the one that LT was referencing in the post, since he said it predates Young Justice.

Jesus, scans_daily is hard to navigate!

I was thinking about taking up a different Superboy (He is a time traveling, hypertime traversing clone so there could easily be an infinite number of Superboys popping up in any given universe) but after seeing LT at work, there's no way I can compete with that.

New Mister Miracle post is up. Things are starting to shape up. Should be getting to the big showdown with Darkseid after making a pit stop with the Psycho Pirate.

Actually, there was another Superboy in this RPG other than Connor. Harlekin played the Pre-Crisis Superboy in Season 3 when we had the Legion come back in time. If you're interested in more info on it, you should give Harl a shout via PM. :up:

The problem with this is, this character doesn't exist in the DC Universe... thus can't be played...
 
What is the history of Poison Ivy and Harley in this RPG?

The big events:

Robin killed her. But she came back (don't exactly remember how).

And recently, she was possessed by one of the Seven Deadly Sins while in Arkham, defeated by Mister Miracle.
 
What is the history of Poison Ivy and Harley in this RPG?

The only history I know of with Harley was that at one point, she became pregnant with The Joker's child. The Joker, deeming the kid 'unfunny', shot Harley in the stomach and killed the unborn child. Which, needless to say, pissed her off for awhile... but they eventually made up. That was back in Season II when Spike_x1 was playing The Joker. Last season, Harley was The Joker's assistant when he became mayor of Gotham City. At some point, she was brutally attacked by the then mystery woman who turned out to be Black Canary, to the point where she had to be hospitalised. Her blood was smeared on the wall of where she was beat up, to spell out "HA HA HA". That was the last anyone saw of her, if I recall correctly.

The only history I know with Ivy was that, back when Robin went insane and became The Red Hood for a brief time, she was thrown off a building and killed. I think she may have been brought back to life, but I'm not entirely sure.

Hope that helps.

Please don't tell me what I can't do when I'm not even trying to do anything.

Plus I'm pretty sure if I really wanted to I could play another Superboy opposite of LTs. I could drag out Conner from his time spent in the future to help the Superboy in the past, though the Superboy in the past would have already been to the future so he may know what is going to happen. But of course when time travel is involved, this little paradox could be unraveled by having the series of events transpire differently than what the present day Superboy remembers.

Now that's if LT and I wanted to work together towards a shared goal. If the two of us knocked our heads together I'm sure it would be a very difficult, and probably bad, decision to deny me playing an alternate Superboy.

I had something similar planned for when I was going to pick back up on Kon-El. But it's no big deal, I'm going to set my sights on other characters. I just like to try and prove people wrong when they use the "can't" word.
 
Man CAN'T fly... oh wait, there's planes...

haha, jus kiddin... I'm just sayin in the confines of the RPG, and what is allowed, original characters are a bit "iffish"...
 
Hey guys I won't be able to post as often and sorry about that because I'll be traveling.

Actually, near the end of the Superboy comic, such a thing did occur. Pre-Crisis Superboy, a girl Superboy (Supergirl), a Tarzan-like Superboy, etc. all banded together to stop a Superboy that threatened to destroy Hypertime.

Was a really good arc, from what I recall.

You talking about Black Zero and his army of Doomsdays?
 
Yep, and Knockout when she was into teenaged boys instead of adult women.

If that storyline were done these days before Superboy died, it would have been made into a Crisis titled event that spanned the whole line of DC titles.

It's that story and the fact that he's a clone that gives hope that Superboy will return in some way, shape, or form one day. At least after DC figures out the rights to the name Superboy.
 
Well, with Guy on guard duty at the moment, it's only a matter of time before SB-Prime gets out of his prison on Oa. :o
 
Apprentice, could you please check your PMs? I know the last 2 or so PMs I sent last week or so never reached you when we talked on MSN. I know the hype is screwy, so...could you check? I re-sent a PM just in case cause the hype is wierd. :(
 
After taking it under due consideration, and thinking about how to use the time I have, I've come to the conclusion that I must bow out of this RPG. To those I'd made plans with, I'm sorry.

I simply have more social commitments that I must fulfill on a more regular basis, and this combined with a feeling that I'm no longer wanted here by quite a few RPers has led me to believe that now would be the best time to leave. To those that enjoyed my writing style and would like to see more of it, I still participate in a Bleach anime based RPG on the BleachAnime.org forums. To those that didn't, at least you won't have to read it any more.

Good luck to all of you.
 
Well... that seemed rather sudden and uncomfortable.

MB, contact me through MSN when you get the chance.
