[Green Lantern]

Watchman, SpeedballLives, Green Lantern, Supergirl... You're all approved.

EDIT: DARN IT, TWY!

...Oh, how I could I stay mad at you?

See your italicized part on the roster? Thats how

 

[Apprentice]

Edited my Jesse Quick app; it's not that good, but I'm not inspired to write anything good :P . I'll have my Diana one up soon.

 

[Batman]

In that case, Apprentice, you're accepted.

 

[Batman]

See your italicized part on the roster? Thats how

Oh yeah.

...

 

[Apprentice]

Heh...I'd never noticed that tagline before...

 

[Watchman]

Screen Name: Watchman

Character you would like to play: John Constantine

Powers: John has a vast knowledge on the occult and other magical subjects. He has the ablily to conjure magic. Also he is one cunning bastard.

Group your character is aligned with (if applicable): The JLA.....yeah right

Three reasons why you have chosen that character:

1) I really wanted to try something different

2) One of my favorite characters in the DC universe

3) Just wait until you read the situation I put him in

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 will be putting John in a situatuion that he hasn't face before and it's going to take more than wits and magic to survive. It would be nice to play as a normal, well kind of a normal, human in a world of heroes.

How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: At least once depends on school work

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

How did you find out about this game, Recruitment thread/word of post/seeing the RPG OOC/IC thread? Been playing for a season

Please provide a small sample post with original content in the style that you plan to write your character in:

How the hell do I keep turning up like these? Right now I stand in Jimmy Cats, you know big time London crime boss, with some wanker pointing a gun at my head.

"Save him now!" You see ol' Jimmy here was looking for the secrets of immortality. Instead of finding them he was possessed by a demon...ancient Sumerian me thinks.

"Don't worry mate he's in good hands" Matter o' fact Jimmy is good as dead. The demon has dug too deep into him and no way is Jimmy coming back. "Now get me a cellphone"

"A cellphone...?"

"Yes a cellphone I need something to contact the um... sprits. It's not like the telle where everybody gathers around holding each other's hands. Now get me a cellphone!" He hands me his cellphone. This is going to be easier than I thought. "Now leave I must must be alone. You don't want this thing to go inside of you do ya?" They leave the room fast while I start to dial.

" 'ello" a very tierd voice answers

"Chas mate it's me" I whisper

"John is that you?"

"No it's Keanu bloody Reeves. I need your car"

"Oh what is it now John? Do you have any idea what time it is?!"

"Yes I do but I met some guys of the unsavory type and I need a ride out of here"

"Ugh Ok, Ok, just tell me where you are" I give him the address and wait by the window

"Everything ok in there?" a shout came from outside the room I didn't say anything cause Chas just pulled up. I open the window and jump onto a nearby branch and climb down the tree. I dive into the cab. I light one up as Chas takes off.

 

[Batman]

Accepted.

 

[Johnny Blaze]

Screen Name: Johnny Blaze

Character you would like to play: General Wade Eiling

Powers: General Eiling is a seasoned military officer and is highly skilled in hand-to-hand combat, battlefield tactics, and espionage, among other things.
In the body of the Shaggy Man, Eiling is as strong as the Man of Steel and may be stronger (he has tossed Orion around like a rag doll, and the new god is on par with Superman in terms of strength). His other physical attributes, such as speed and agility, have been increased to super human levels as well. In the body of the Shaggy Man, Eiling has no need for sleep, food, or oxygen, and feels no pain. The General also possess a near inexhaustible stamina, but his greatest power is the ability to regenerate from any injury no matter how severe (from losing an arm, to losing his head, to getting chopped in two, or being reduced to a puddle of goo).


Group your character is aligned with (if applicable): Leader of his own secret military faction; former US Military

Three reasons why you have chosen that character: I love villains, and he’s an awesome one. I was a big fan of Morrison’s JLA run, and plan on taking him from the regular military officer to the monstrous behemoth he became. Did I mention I love villains?

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 plan to give the newly formed JLA their first big test. I also plan to, hopefully, and with the help of everyone involved, tell a good story for all to enjoy.

How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: As many as need be, life permitting.

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

Do you have an Instant Messenger? Which one, and what is your screen name? AIM - Beer the Drinker; MSN - if you want/need to get in touch with me over MSN, I'll PM you my addy

How did you find out about this game, Recruitment thread/word of post/seeing the RPG OOC/IC thread? Saw the thread a few seasons back and decided to give it a go. Been hooked ever since.

Please provide a small sample post with original content in the style that you plan to write your character in:
Eiling sat in his office as he watched the events in Metropolis die down. It was perfect. The war in the world's greatest city was just what he needed. This fight would leave the heroes weakened and ripe for the picking, especially if the preliminary reports of Superman's demise were true.
All the pieces were almost in place. Soon he'd make his move. With the aid of his own League the world would soon belong to Eiling.

A knock on the door to his office brought him from his thoughts of grandeur and back to reality.
"What?"

A short yet stocky officer entered the rooms and saluted. Eiling returned the salute and asked, "What's the matter, son?"

"General, it is my duty to inform you that we believe someone has...gained information on Project: B."

"WHAT", screamed Eiling as his eyes narrowed in anger.
"I don't care what it takes, but you find out who took these files and kill them along with the files! Do I make myself clear, Sargeant!?"

"Yessir!"

"No, wait", said Eiling as the officer was about to leave the room, "I have an idea."
Eiling leaned on the front of his desk with a wicked smile on his face as he looked at the Sargeant.
"Send out clone trooper B-1. Tell him I want this thief dead and the stolen data destroyed. Tell him that I want this all done a quietly as possible. Is that clear, Sargeant?"

"Yessir", replied the Sargeant as he snapped to attention. After Eiling dismissed him, he quickly exited the room and ran down the hallway.
Eiling sat alone in his office contemplating the news. Those files were important. He had stolen them from the government before he cut ties with them. They contained all the info on his little cloning experiment as well as many other secret military projects. In the wrong hands, that information could prove very dangerous to Eiling's plans.
Still, the General had faith that his man would get things done.

Right now there was nothing he could do but wait.
Soon though the time for waiting would be over, and Eiling would show the heroes a war unlike any they had ever seen before...

 

[Batman]

Not approved.


...

Well, okay. Approved.

 

[Apprentice]

Hey, I was just wondering...there is no Batman on the roster at the moment, so does that mean he's available? Or does it just mean MaskedManJRK hasn't reposted his app? If he is available, I'd love to reserve him if nobody minds. I'd drop Jesse in an instant to play him.

My Diana app is gonna be up soon.

 

[Red]

I believe JRK is returning.

 

[Batman]

Hey, I was just wondering...there is no Batman on the roster at the moment, so does that mean he's available? Or does it just mean MaskedManJRK hasn't reposted his app? If he is available, I'd love to reserve him if nobody minds. I'd drop Jesse in an instant to play him.

My Diana app is gonna be up soon.

...Believe me, if he was availible, I would've snatched him up before anyone could even get half their applications done.

No, JRK isn't giving him up. He's promised to post more this season, and despite his inactivity towards the end of last season, he apparentally has some big plans.

 

[Apprentice]

Oh well, a guy can dream.

 

[Red]

Aren't you a girl?

 

[twylight]

Alright..here's the deal.

The roster is wiped clean because I'm lazy. If you've already been accepted in the other thread for this season please post your characters name, alter ego and the font/color/size your characters 'speech' is going to be in.



For the major characters like Batman and WW they are basically 'reserved' for the players picking them back up again.

 

[Apprentice]

Screen Name: Apprentice

Character you would like to play: Wonder Woman

Powers: Diana possesses super-strength by a link to the planet granted by Demeter, and her stamina and endurance levels mean she is incredibly resistant to physical attacks (resisting blows form the likes of Superman and Captain Marvel). This gives her a degree of vulnerability, although her skin can be pierced. Her Amazonian heritage also gives her a high resistance to magical attacks or manipulation. She is constantly ''renewing'' herself, and can heal quickly; when badly wounded, she can sink into the Earth and reform herself, expelling any damage from her form. Her swiftness was given to her my Hermes, and enables her to run at least at the speed of Jesse Quick, and breach the Speed Force barrier. She can also fly, and is bestowed with incredible wisdom.Sharing a unique connection to the animal kingdom, Diana can tame the wildest of beasts. These are not the only powers she utilises, though; she has an arsenal of mystical weapons that she employs, including her Lasso of Truth and a pair of indestructable gauntlets.

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

Three reasons why you have chosen that character:

1) She's a great female lead.

2) She's a powerhouse.

3) I want to put her through the ropes this season.

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 wish to bring a character that can fit in well with the RPG, but stand out from the crowd at the same time. I want to develop Diana's character and mold her into my own, taking her down some different paths.

How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: As many times as I'm needed.

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

Please provide a small sample post with original content in the style that you plan to write your character in:

PROLOGUE​

Metropolis:
Oh, Hera.

It can't be.

She's dead...my exhaustion must be making me see things...

"Dinah?" Diana murmured at disbelief. She stumbled back, her wounds and weariness finally kicking in. "But...you...oh!"

The princess embraced her old friend, relief and joy flooding her. Amidst the destruction, amongst the flames, a seemingly impossible thing had occurred - something good had happened. At that moment, Diana didn't need an explanation. She was content just to sob weakly as memories so faint and distant rose to the forefront of her mind...one final breath of air from Paradise Island, the small form of Artemis at the shore below her...

And then, raw pain.

It struck through her mind, tearing into her and driving her down to the streets, to her very knees. Gripping the sides of her head, she tore her tiara from its lodgings and tossed it aside, sinking her teeth into her lower lip and gagging at the coppery taste of blood. She shrieked, an agonising howl, but it was only a dim sound to her ears, almost as if it were miles away...finally, the overwhelming agony subsided, and, quivering, she slumped to the concrete.

A sickening knowledge was now placed upon her, a knowledge of the future. Somehow, she knew what was about to come, but it didn't make it any easier. Two Amazonian soldiers appeared beside her, yanking her unceremoniously to her feet. Diana groaned, too weak to resist.

"Princess Diana, you are under arrest," one of the armour-clad guards hissed.

A golden light encircled them, and they were gone.

***
​

"I hope I have done the right thing," Hippolyta mused aloud, peering into the viewing portal before her.

The shadowy figure beside the Queen smiled under her hood, watching intently as the guards hauled their charge away from the burning city of Metropolis. "I can assure you that you have, my Queen. My visions are never wrong. Diana's destiny is pre-determined, and if we are to change it..."

"...we must act now," Hippolyta finished with a heavy sigh. Resting her hand on the hilt of the ceremonial sword strapped to her waist, she grimaced. "Oh, Diana, what have you become?"

"I think the more apt question is, my Queen," the figure began gravely, "what are you going to become?"

TO BE CONTINUED IN SEASON FIVE!​

 

[Apprentice]

Aren't you a girl?

No...[sarcasm]but thanks[/sarcasm]. Do I come across as one?

Oh, and twy, didja get my PK?

[Batman]

Wonder Woman is approved.

 

[Franklin Richards]

DC RPG Season V Application:

Screen Name: Franklin Richards

Character you would like to play: Green Lantern / Hal Jordan

Powers: Hal Jordan wields a Power Ring. The most powerful weapon in the universe. It is limited only by his willpower and imagination.

Group your character is aligned with (if applicable): I intend to join the New Justice League. Also a member of the Green Lantern corp.

Three reasons why you have chosen that character: Hal Jordan is my favorite DC character. I know more about him than any other DC character. I LOVE his powers.

Write two complete sentences using proper English grammar explaining what you think you can bring to the RPG: I will return Hal Jordan to his former glory. Hal has not been played in an entire season and this RPG is sorely lacking without him.

How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: Whenever the storyline permits.

Color and font you plan on using for your characters speech (Might not be applicable but it makes the roster pretty): Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) That rookie GL stole my color and font. GRRR

How did you find out about this game, Recruitment thread/word of post/seeing the RPG OOC/IC thread? I played Wonder Woman in Season II.

Please provide a small sample post with original content in the style that you plan to write your character in:

Hal Jordan entered the Fortress of Solitude. Several robots acknowledged his entrance but did not interfere with his presence.

Good ol' Clark. Always an open door for me.

Hal walked past several rooms paying homage to Krypton's past. There was another chamber that had a menagerie of animals. A zoo it would seem. He walked for several minutes until he heard an unmistakable sound.

Crying.

Hal entered what appeared to be a mausoleum. The body of Superman was placed upon a dais. At the base knelt Lois Lane.

"Lois."

She turned to Green Lantern. Her eyes were swollen and red from her grief.

"Green Lantern. Come in."

"Call me Hal. Just don't print that in the Daily Planet."

"Were you there? When it happened?"

"Yes, Lois. He saved the city. He... he saved us all."

"That's Clark."

"Indeed."

Hal Jordan approached the dais. He put his hand on Lois' shoulder.

"Come with me, Lois. I'll take you home. There's nothing more for you here. Clark would want you to live. Live Lois. Live for him. And live for yourself."

Lois looked Hal Jordan in the eyes.

"You're a wise man, my friend."

"Not yet, Lois. But with Superman's example. I am learning."

 

[Green Lantern]

Accepted Franky

 

[Red]

DC RPG Season IV Application

Screen Name: Red X

Character you would like to play: Deathstroke the Terminator/ Slade Wilson

Powers: Augmented physical attributes such as strength, agility and endurance, heightened regeneration and reflexes, master martial artist and tactician, hi-tech equipment, immortal and a large array of weapons.

Group your character is aligned with (if applicable): Teen Titans enemy, formerly the Dark Alliance and The Unity.

Three reasons why you have chosen that character:

1) I want a character I can portray long term, someone whom I have a real understanding for and one in which I think I can develop, suffice to say Slade ticks all those boxes.

2) He can never die, [blackout]at least not at the moment[/blackout]

3) He’s like the first villain that I’ve played that has real superpowers.

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 main objective with Slade is to try something different and by that I mean creating a character arc that I will carry through the season (not unlike what I have done with Iron Man in the Marvel RPG), which in essence will give Slade a totally new motivation. A lot of writers have focused on the side of Slade’s morality that chooses to do the right thing, I want to play the other side of that coin.

How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: As many as needed.

Color and font you plan on using for your characters speech (Might not be applicable but it makes the roster pretty): This should do quite nicely

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? A simple matter of luck or perhaps fate, I was browsing through the forum one day and found the thread.

Please provide a small sample post with original content in the style that you plan to write your character in:


IC:

Death, it was Slade’s art. That’s not to say his life was it defined by it however, no something else defined the mercenary better, yet he could never place it and that question was what haunted the terminator.

Was it his failure to protect his children, his strict moral code or perhaps that fact that Slade carried both the blessing and curse of immortally.

What this his destiny? To face the world day by day not knowing what he continues? Slade buried his thoughts to the back of his mind. He had a job to do plan and simple, he could debate his past later, right now he had a 10, 000 grand kill waiting for him.

Three reasons why you have chosen that character:

2) He has the potential to own the whole DC Universe (yes even Supes)

3) Besides The Question, he is the only Charlton Comics charcter in the game

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?

I seen the season four RPG thread

Please provide a small sample post with original content in the style that you plan to write your character in:

September, 1976

Nathan Adams stared at the picture of his family through the cell's harsh light. Chrsitina holding baby Jessica and two year old Nate Jr. standing next to her with a wide grin.

"Adam, you got a visitor."

Barked the guard down the hallway. With a clank his cell door opened and entered a man with salt and pepper hair and a gray moustache. he was wearing formal military wear with a name plate that read

LT. Colonel Eiling

"Who are you?"

The man smiled

"Lieutenant-Colonel Wade Eiling, figure I'd talk to you before...well you know."

He stood infront of Adams and light up a cigar.

"Mind if I smoke? You know these things can kill you but what does it matter to you."

Adam looked at him coldly

"What do you want?"

Eiling chuckled and took a drag on his cigar.

"I just came here to thank you. You see you saved me a whole lot of headaches by volunteering for this suicide mission."

"What are you talking about?"

"See Adams I'm a man who's going places, changing things. People like you might not like what I'll be doing so I have to take care of them, Lieutenant James was one of those people as well."

Suddenly it dawns on Adam

"You son of a *****! You did this to me!"

Adams jumps off his cot and starts to choke Eiling. Two MP guards rush in and restrain him

"I'll kill you!"

Eiling smiled, he reached down and picked up Adams' picture.

"Nice wife, cute kids. I'll look them up, since they will be fatherless."

Eiling laughs and walks out of the cell

"I'll kill you Eiling! If it's the last thing I do!"

That's when the rifle butt strikes the back of his head. The image of Eiling's back would be the last thing Adam would see before the bomb.
