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

[Byrd Man]

You know Atom will be in the JLA.

 

[trustyside-kick]

Got any pics of Captain Atom? I can't find many.

 

[Byrd Man]

Here's one of my favorites by Alex Ross.

 

[batnkevlar]

I want Flash to be in the thick of things again, so put him on the JLA...

 

[LibrarianThorne]

And there you have it, the truth behind what's been going on with Darkseid this season. All my cards are on the table, and now we can start wrapping up this big superheroic brawl, since I know everyone else is eager to get going on other stuff.

 

[Harlekin]

LT, you haven't happened to read "Cosmic Oddysey" from DC have you? Written by Starlin.

 

[trustyside-kick]

Okay. Anyone else?

 

[LibrarianThorne]

LT, you haven't happened to read "Cosmic Oddysey" from DC have you? Written by Starlin.

No, nor have I read Walt Simonson's run on Orion (which a lot of my plot has been compared to). I guess having ideas compared to Jim Starlin and Walt "Gjallerbru" Simonson could be worse.

What does everyone think of the big reveal?

 

[Batman]

Okay. Anyone else?

I very much doubt Superman won't be in it.

 

[Batman]

It was a freaking amazing post, if I do say so myself.

If I voted, I'd probably give it the nod of "Best Post".
From the OU and into the DCU RPGs, you seem to have a good grasp on Darkseid, as well as the more epic characters. Hopefully we'll be able to work together again in the future on an arc be it in this RPG or another one.

 

[Spike_x1]

Amazing post, LT.

Hey Keyser, do you want me to just post the Joker and the Skull going for a stroll, or do have a certain direction you want those guys to go in?

 

[LibrarianThorne]

Speaking of epic characters, looking at my current group of characters, I seem to have somewhat of an imbalance. Ultimate Thor, Darkseid, (probably) Superman next season, Ghost Rider, (probably) Black Bolt and the Inhumans, I've got a lot of epic stuff going on.

The ironic thing is, I don't think I had more fun than when I wrote Green Arrow in the One Universe RPG, and I get a kick out of street level heroes. That in mind, you all may want to look for a certain Beetle to get picked up by me rather soon...

 

[Johnny Blaze]

There should totally be a JLI in this RPG.

 

[trustyside-kick]

Good luck with that.

The JSA reforming didn't go through.

The Titans tried numerous times at the end of last and this season it seems to reform and that didn't go through

After a lot of struggle the JLA is somewhat getting there but not to be negative...not sure it will go through either.

The JLI? doubtful.

I'd love to be proven wrong on all accounts. Maybe Orin will be a part-time member of the League, but...other than that I wouldn't really be a part of the teams it seems.

 

[Johnny Blaze]

Yes, but those teams you mentioned are lacking some major things that the JLI can bring to the table.

For starters, the dynamic chemistry of Fire and Ice.

The brilliance of the Elongated Man.

The hilarious hyjinks of Booster Gold and Blue Beetle.

And, most important of all...the amazing, selfless hero that is Guy Gardner.


How could anyone say that they would not travel through Hell itself to see a JLI in the RPG?

 

[Purple Man]

And there you have it, the truth behind what's been going on with Darkseid this season. All my cards are on the table, and now we can start wrapping up this big superheroic brawl, since I know everyone else is eager to get going on other stuff.

Wrap up? BB and I are just getting started. Hopefully it won't seem too anti-climactic if Scott doesn't just jump into the middle of the battle in Washington. I think things will take a little bit longer on my end, but I think the end result will be worth the wait. Cleaning up the mess that Darkseid made is hard work. Especially when it involves stopping the deadliest of Batmans rogues gallery serving as embodiments of the seven deadly sins.

And about the teams. We need to really show some cohesiveness and dedication between us to get these things to work. The JSA fell through before it even began, though it was probably for the best because I honestly didn't want Dr.Fate involved in a super team when he would better serve as a spirit guide to Mister Miracle (and no, I didn't steal the idea from 52, Fate just seems to work that way).

I'm thinking after I drop one of my characters I'm going to pick back up Superboy, I've had something planned for a while, but LT dropped this whole Darkseid thing and I'd have been stupid not to pick up Mister Miracle and take part in such an epic, especially with BB backing me up. Hopefully we can convince enough people to pick up Titans and maybe we can get a solid team together under my storyline.

I hope to see some teams together by the end of this season. At least JLA and Titans, maybe a good super villain team as well to keep things interesting. Unless someone else steps up it seems the JSA will be a dream for another day.

Double post

 

[Purple Man]

Triple post! Don't know how I managed this.

 

[LibrarianThorne]

DC RPG Season V Application

Screen Name: LibrarianThorne

Character you would like to play: The Blue Beetle, Ted Kord

Powers: Genius level intellect, multi-millionaire status, and a heart three sizes too big

Group your character is aligned with (if applicable): Superbuddies

Three reasons why you have chosen that character:

1) Ted Kord represents a marked departure from all of my other characters.

2) I figure one of the best straight heroes in the DCU could help me tell stories I can't as Darkseid.

3) Bwahahaha!

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?): Ted Kord's goals will be to reunite with the old JLI crew in the wake of Darkseid's invasion, and help fund them back into the superhero business. Now, whether or not he can do so remains to be seen...

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

Color and font you plan on using for your characters speech (Might not be applicable but it makes the roster pretty): "Oh God, not you again Booster."

Do you have an Instant Messenger? Which one, and what is your screen name? AOL, handle is LibrarianThorne

How did you find out about this game, Recruitment thread/word of post/seeing the RPG OOC/IC thread? I joined back at the end of season III.

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

He sat crouched over a particularly stubborn motherboard, sequestered away in his private lab at the headquarters of Kord Industries. The smell of burning filed the air around him as he busily soddered away, sparks occasionally flying upwads. Despite the hazard, a close observer could note the tip of his tongue poking through otherwise clenched teeth. CNN was on a nearby small television set, thankfully muted, but the quiet technician's reverie was cut short as a small, plastic pink telephone rang. The sudden noise made him jump, cracking the motherboard in two. He sat stunned for a moment, then his face screwed together in an expression of rage as he hurled the now useless piece of technology against the far wall. It broke with a crackling sound, and fell to the floor in smaller pieces than it had began. Satisfied at the re-establishment of his manhood, Ted Kord answered the phone. "Joanie, hon, sweetie, when I told you 'no calls no matter the reason', what did you think I said? 'Please, Joanie, call me whenever you have some new vacuous topic of conver-"
"Turn up CNN, Mr. Kord."
"-sation." Grumbling, he did so, and was rewarded with scenes he hadn't seen in, well, since the last time the world was ending.
"-perman has apparently been held in some sort of thrall by the alien dictator for a few minutes. Rod, is this similar to what the so-called "Dark Lanterns" exhibited earlier in the struggle?" My God, thought Ted Kord to himself, she even made the little finger wriggle thing.
"It would seem so, Anne. Seperately, Aquaman, Batman, Superman, Captain Atom, Wonder Woman and several Green Lanterns have been defeated. Strange blue aliens appeared to have Darkseid contained for a time, but he broke free, sources say the aliens are in some way connected to the Green Lantern Corps. For more on them, we go now to Jack Hendrix, live on the scene in-"

CLICK

He reclined back in his chair, hands pressed over his face. A single thought kept running through his brilliant, if occasionally sarcastic, mind.

I've gotta get the band back together.

Wordlessly, he shut off the TV and reclined back in his chair. A hidden button underneath his desk was pressed, and a wall slid down, revealing his Blue Beetle outfit.

At that moment, Ted Kord smiled.

Well, your opinion doesn't count in this matter, so to you.

 

[Byrd Man]

I believe a certain Atomically Correct superhero was apart of the JLI....Wasn't he?

3) Woof.

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'm just going to play him as a normal dog, who happens to have super-powers

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

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 don't remember anymore.

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

It's dawn. I wake up and shake, relieving my muscles of their sleepiness. Sniff, sniff. The master isn't here. Where is he?

Sniff, sniff.

Food.

I run over to where my dish is. It's empty. Where is he? Silly smelly machine-masters are gone too.

I fly, going outside, shivering when the cold air of the snow place touches me, but I go too fast for it to bother me. I'm hungry.

So I go to the golden land. It's night there, so I can land without people seeing me. Master always tells me to stay hidden when in the golden land, and I always listen to him.

I paw at the door to the house, and the old lady opens the door.

"Krypto!" she says, patting my head, "What're you doing here?" I whimper my answer. Hungry.

"Oh," she says, "Clark must've forgotten to feed you, and with Conner..." she coughs a bit, she gets sad all of a sudden, so I lick her hand. "I'm sorry Krypto." she says, "Here let me give you the leftover meatloaf, Jonathan probably won't want it anyway."

Yay. I eat. It's good. When I'm done, I wag my tail and she pats me again. Good bye, old lady.

As I fly away I hear the old man. "Martha, where's the meatloaf?"
