[twylight]

Alright I took a wack at it...mine's nowhere near as good as the others but it was fun.

Wording is off center..have to fix it later..

 

[Speedball]

[Red]

He will be revealed as The Joker's sexy cabana-boy.

Thats wrong on so many levels.

 

[Harlekin]

My application will probably have to wait a while. My laptop is being fixed, and it has my beautiful little app. on it and I couldn't rewrite it even if I tried.

 

[Apprentice]

A much better Jesse Quick sample RP:

IC: Jesse Quick

I can run at half the speed of light without a second thought, but right now, I'm finding it a challenge just to keep one foot planted in front of the other. I'm riddled with confusion and bemusement - where have I been all evening? where's my other shoe? - but I lumber on, one arm bracing itself against the wall. My head is bowed. If I look up, I may actually throw up, too. What kind of example would that set to Lian?

Wait a second...am I even babysitting that little brat anymore?

I lurch forward, the nausea finally driving my to my knees; trembling, I attempt to rise again, but the gentle evening breeze buffets my fragile form to the concrete once again. Uh...I feel awful.I consider vowing never to drink again aloud, but realise that it's never going to have any real effect on me, so just content myself with laying still for a while. I thought doing that would allow me to gather the last reserves of strength in order to stand.

Unfortunately, it only seems to cement my muscles in place.

"Oh, look at that!"

A voice. Female, I think, though rather...guttural.

"A little blondie, fallen on the street!" a second mocked.

I have a very bad feeling about this...which is why I haul myself into a sitting position using a handle on a garbage bin. It promptly opened and emptied half of its contents over me. But that's the least of my troubles. There are five of the women, all dressed in strange garments - costumes that must have been inspired by the likes of the Joker. All are armed with the usual assortment of 'gang' weapons: chains, baseball bats, etcetera.

"Why don't we see what's missin' between her ears?" they cackled.

The mantra. It's my only chance.

"Three multiplied by two...no, four...wait..." I have to rememebr! I have to! "Three multiplied by two, open bracket, nine...nine...nine YZ, close bracket, two A! No, three A!"

Why can't I remember? Why?! I have to...I thought I'd done it right, but nothing's happening...I cry out in pain as the first attack strikes me across the face in the form of a spiked chain. Blood sprays onto my lips, and the coppery taste lines my mouth. It tastes weird after a night of purely alcohol. Maybe I can take them without my powers: this sole thought drives me to my feet, sending garbage skittering across the concrete. I lunge at one of them, but my movements are painfully slow and sloppy; the girl easily side-steps the assault and brings her elbow down onto the small of my back.

As they continued to beat me, baseball bats and chains hammering down upon me, pain flooded through my frame, causing the whimpering attempts to recite the formula to sputter uselessly out. After a few minutes, though, I can't feel anything. I can hear the dull thumps of the weapons impacting upon my body...I can hear the malice-fuelled chuckles bubbling over their lips...but most of all, I can hear the fading sound of my own heartbeat. The next moment, I can hear nothing. And all I can see is...

BLACK.

 

[trustyside-kick]

Didn't you already get accepted for the application for her though? :P

 

[Apprentice]

Yeah, but it was a pathetic Sample RP And it was in third person, which isn't how I intend to write her.

 

[Franklin Richards]

Alright I took a wack at it...mine's nowhere near as good as the others but it was fun.

and..an animated version...

Wording is off center..have to fix it later..

Fun.


:gl: :gl: :gl:

 

[Spike_x1]

I slightly editted the Jason picture from my older Civil War Banner..it is more detailed...here it is:

This was the old one to make it easier to compare:

Very nice improvement.

 

[Saved]

I'm not trying to be a pain or anything, but if one of the gamemasters would tell me if I am accepted as Brainiac or not, I'd be extemely happy.

 

[Spike_x1]

I think you were accepted a while ago. I'm not sure though, and I'm not a GM, so I can't do it if you weren't.

 

[Red]

I think the application needed some tweaking.

 

[Batman]

Green Lantern gave me the go ahead to put Eddie Brock Jr. as Cyborg on the roster, but he didn't say the same for Syn, and their applications were posted around the same time. So as of now, no, you're not... But I'm going to take a look at your application and see if I can approve it...

 

[Batman]

Screen Name: Syn (Mercenary)

Character you would like to play: Brainiac (no number)

Powers: Vast intellect, Vast superhuman physical capabilities and energy manipulation powers derived from cybernetic body

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

Three reasons why you have chosen that character:

1) Brainiac is my favorite DC villian.

2) He is Superman's second dealiest foe.

3) He thinks what he does is right because its for the sake of knowledge. (Meaning he doesn't know he's being evil)

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 goals are the quest for universal knowledge and the destruction of Superman. I will be playing Brainiac as a mixture from the comics, Smallville, and the DCAU (DC aninated universe).

How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: as much as my character is needed. If he isn't involved at that moment, I won't post, if he is in the current plot, I'll post a lot. But at least 4-8 times.

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

Do you have an Instant Messenger? Which one, and what is your screen name? No

How did you find out about this game, Recruitment thread/word of post/seeing the RPG OOC/IC thread? I was looking for a DC RPG

Please provide a small sample post with original content in the style that you plan to write your character in: Infernal Kryptonian! I have collided with him enough times to last a dozen lives!

The only thing I would improve on is the sample post. If I were you, I'd take a look at the earlier ones on the first page of this thread, for reference, to try and get a feel of what we're talking about. Everything else is .

Also, if I recall correctly, Brainiac 13 is the closest comic book version of the Brainiac you seem to want to play. I may be wrong, I'm not an expert on the character. But this is a comic book based RPG... We need to try and keep it as close to that continuity as much as possible.

 

[Spike_x1]

He did a very good revision of the sample post earlier.

 

[Spike_x1]

Here it is.

Brainiac was hovering over Superman's beaten body after the vicious fight in the middle of Metropolis. Brainiac had gotten his newest kryptonite exoskeletal mechanical body from Lexcorp, athe newest of Lex's alliances to bring down the Man of Stell using Brainiac as his ally."Mmhh...well well, it appears that the last son of Krypton still has fight left in his battered body. Tell me, Kal-El, how much longer do I have to endure your pathetic attempt to save your planet from the inevitable? You won't beat me Brainiac!"

"I've stopped you before! Why should it be any different this time?" superman said.

"Because, Kal-El, this time, you will fail. I've calculated all of the possibilitites in this fight. The problem with you stopping me in times past, is that I learn. I know all your moves and tricks. There isn't anything you can do this time, you have done before! And thanks to Mr Luthors generous equipment donation, I have all I need to combat your moves, and beat them. Your time in this realm is over, last son of Krypton. All things must come to an end...as for the Kryptonian race...it should have ended millions of years ago." Brainiac looked down at Superman. He has the look of shear disgust. How could he, the perfect being created for the sole purpose to know all things, all combat, have all weapons have fallen to such a low alien creature, the last of its kind?If it weren't for him, I would've gained all this planets knowledged and moved on to another galxy by now! I may have lost before, but this time, I have this...Kryptonian, the last of his race finished. Beaten. Destroyed.

Brainiac lifted his arm. The green liquified kryptonite flowling through his tube-like veins. All the Kryptonite was collecting at his fist for his final blow.

"This is the end for you, Kal-el, Last son of Krypton, son of Jor-El...protector of earth! Yah!"

Personally, the only thing that I'd change would be to make the opening narration regular instead of boldening it.

 

[Batman]

Here it is.

Oh. I didn't see that. Well, in that case, You're approved, Syn.

 

[Saved]

Thanks. Yeah, I tried to un bold it, but I had edited it so many times to get the coloring right it didn't accept my "unbold" request. Thanks for approving me. can't wait for this season to start. And thanks, Spike x1 for showing my redone sample post/story.

 

[Johnny Blaze]

Just wanted to wish you a happy birthday, Twy. I hope it's a good one, and I expect to hear a good drinking story later.

 

[Spike_x1]

Yeah, I too wish you a happy annual date of your birth.

<_<

>_>

...what?

 

[Batman]

Happy B-Day. Here's hoping you don't break out the whip on me just because I wasn't the first one to wish you that.



...

PLEASE?

 

[Johnny Blaze]

Now...are you saying please to not get whipped or to get whipped?

 

[Keyser Soze]

Happy Birthday twylight!
