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

[Byrd Man]

DC RPG Season V Application

Screen Name: SuperFerret

Character you would like to play: Krypto the SuperDog

Powers: Super strength, speed, durability and stamina, Flight, super-breath and lung capacity (including freeze breath), super-hearing, vision powers (including x-ray vision, heat vision, telescopic vision and microscopic vision), and various other sensory powers (including the ability to see, hear and feel the entire electromagnetic spectrum). Oh, and he can break your leg by using a special canine strategem.

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

Three reasons why you have chosen that character:

1) I've applied for him before (in the One Universe RPG) and was rejected.

2) I am entirely up to the challenge of playing a dog.

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

How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG:

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?"

If your serious then you accepted. Now who's a good boy? Who's a good boy?

 

[SuperFerret]

If your serious then you accepted. Now who's a good boy? Who's a good boy?

I am serious. And don't call me Shirley.

Am I gonna regret this for all the dog jokes?

 

[Byrd Man]

I am serious. And don't call me Shirley.

Am I gonna regret this for all the dog jokes?

Yes you are! Yes you are! You wanna treat?

 

[Batman]

...

That is the most delightfully twisted application I've ever read.

 

[trustyside-kick]

Going to be interesting seeing how this Krypto the SuperDog thing plays out.

 

[Purple Man]

Man, it's gonna be a Superman family reunion when I finally bring back Superboy...eventually..

And if you're not serious about playing him, I'm going to cry. And use him as an NPC.

 

[Red]

I think Superboy will need to solve his own problems first...

Accepted, although you might want to develop the character more. He sounds like a 3 year old and I'd imagine Dog's have a better thought process than that.

Now where's Ace the Bat-Dog?

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

I was replying to this:

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

Except in my half-asleep brain I read:

"Can anyone say they would not travel through Hell itself to see a JLI in the RPG?"

So I replied 'No'.

See?

But if that's the way you're going to be, then 'No' you can't do it.

 

[SuperFerret]

Yeah, I was thinking of going more along the lines of the Silver Age's Krypto which was about as smart as a human, but still had a dog's instincts.

I'm still going to use the emotes though.

Ok, I figured it was a mis-communication. Still, I had to cover my bases.
Now you just need to pick up Fire as a second character.

 

[Purple Man]

I think Superboy will need to solve his own problems first...

Conners only problem is being in a coma and that is going to be taken care of shortly. Then I'm going to give him a lot more. Hell, we should recruit a Wondergirl just to give him some girl troubles on top of that.

A reunion with Krypto is a definite thing. I always figured the poor mutt has been zipping back and forth between the Kent farm and the STAR labs hospital wing he's being kept at every day.

And for the record, I think Ferret shouldn't change a thing with the way he writes Krypto. It's not like it's the Krypto from the cartoons. He's a simple animal with a simple brain. He's not going to have some long drawn out thought process before he decides to lift his leg and urinate on a fire hydrant, or play fetch with a redwood.

I think his portrayal of Krypto fits the character perfectly.

I'm not trying to be rude, Twy, but seriously. What do you think the thought process of a dog is? Do they go into some big metaphorical monologue about why he's going to chase the tip of his own tail? Do they worry about the oppression of their species when they're sniffing eachothers butts.

Food = Eat

Butt = Sniff

Everything else = Chew or pee on

I think that's about as in depth as it goes.

 

[Red]

Conners only problem is being in a coma and that is going to be taken care of shortly.

Just make sure you drop Fate or Miracle if you intend to play Conner again.

 

[Purple Man]

Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me, Red. Do you point out the obvious just to get on my nerves or did you honestly think I was stupid enough not to remember the two character limit?

I think sometimes you just need to not reply to my posts. Let someone else point out that I need to drop a character before I pick up another one.

And for the record, when their stories are done I plan on dropping both Miracle and Fate. Maybe I'll pick them up again one day because I've had more fun with those two than I've ever had with anyone else. But next I have my sights set on returning to Superboy and picking up someone I can't believe we haven't seen in the rpg sooner: Animal Man.

 

[Byrd Man]

Um.. PM, I believe X meant to pick up Superboy, don't just NPC him. (I know you like to do that sometimes)

Sorry, PM, but I disagree. I've observed many dogs and I know that they have a varied amount of motivations and habits. Krypto's also a very smart dog, so he'll be a bit above the rest of the canine species.

Does it have to be Fire?

I guess I couldn't bring Dinah along could I?

 

[Johnny Blaze]

Does it have to be Fire?

I guess I couldn't bring Dinah along could I?

No, it doesn't have to be fire. You could be Sue Dibny...or Ice...or, I guess you can bring Dinah along.

Not like it really matters to me since I doubt I'll play any of the characters.

 

[twylight]

I'm not playing unless you are..

I didn't mean it in that way dude.

 

[twylight]

I didn't mean it in that way dude.

Let it go.

Purple Man, please don't reply.

Also...Red X, I'm replying to you on MSN but I don't think you're getting any of my messages...

 

[Byrd Man]

I'm not playing unless you are..

I'd joing the JLI as Cap. Atom, but LT won't let me unless I give him my lunch money.

 

[twylight]

At least it's not your milk money.

 

[Johnny Blaze]

I'm not playing unless you are..

Well, I guess neither of us are playing then.

 

[twylight]

Well, I guess neither of us are playing then.

I guess not.


You heartbreaker.:heart:

 

[Johnny Blaze]

I guess not.


You heartbreaker.:heart:

I guess I am.

Don't fret though (yes, I used "fret"), I am sure that we can figure out an arc where we can work together again.
