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

[trustyside-kick]

While it isn't an official rule as of now, I think that would be best, personally. trusty's doing the new roster, and he's going off of who's being approved so far, mainly, so it's best that everyone applies.

Exactly. No approval? No place on roster.

 

[Batman]

Exactly. No approval? No place on roster.

That's right.

So tough luck, GL.

*sees that he was approved*

Dammit!

 

[Green Lantern]

That's right.

So tough luck, GL.

*sees that he was approved*

Dammit!

Ha b**ch

A lot of people complain about Hal Jordan, and one of my goals with him has been to make him appealing as a character. I see potential in all the Green Lanterns of Earth, and I chose Hal because of that. As for what I'm planning to do, it's something never seen before with Hal. I'm returning him to his roots, yet giving him a whole new twist.

I float in the sky in front of the Central Battery, my arms crossed over my chest. Kilowog floats beside me, looking even more intimidating. In front of us, on the ground, are 600 new recruits. More are heading in by the day, but Kilowog and I have been instructed with one task for right now.

"Cadets, you are all here for one thing and one thing only. You think you've been briefed back in the Corps Hall. You were wrong. You're not here to save the universe. You're not here right now to serve you sector. You're here to serve us, your trainers.

"Fer the next coupla days, ya poozers are gonna listen ta exactly what we say, GOT THAT?"

"Anything outside of the ordinary will not be tolerated. We are not a buncha Girl Scouts, or Skrit Na merchants. We are Corps members, and we shall train as such."

"Right now, ya rings can only accomplish rudiment'ry tasks, such as wipin' yer ass and kissin' ya sister. In time, it'll be able ta propel you to the distant galaxies and be able to split atoms at yer liesure. But that don't come without practice."

"Supreme Trainer Kilowog 674.1 will take those trainees under Sectors One through Two Thousand. Myself, Senior Trainer Jordan 2814.1, will take those Sectors Two Thousand and One to Three Thousand. Corpsman Stel 3009.1 will take the rest. Understood? Now raise your ring to the sky of the beautiful Oa and repeat after me..."

I raise my fist to the sky and feel the power course through my veins.

"IN BRIGHTEST DAY..."

My ring sparks.

"...IN BLACKEST NIGHT..."

It glows with more power than a thousand suns.

"...NO EVIL SHALL ESCAPE MY SIGHT..."
The Central Battery crackles with energy as it release it to all who are worthy.

"...LET ALL WHO WORSHIP EVIL'S MIGHT..."

My grip stays true, and my heart lifts up with hope.

"...BEWARE MY POWER..."

I smile.

"...GREEN LANTERN'S LIGHT!"

* * *
I fly to the outer edges of the Oan atmosphere, and behind me fly 200 trainees. I hear alot of talk and not enough thought, to tell you the truth. They were trained in the earlier months to fly, and to shoot and shield. I am now to teach them something they lack: tactic.

"Today, we are going to play an Earth game called "Capture the Flag"... anyone familiar with it?"

A cadet raises his tentacle and I point to him.

"Yes sir, it's similar to the Rannian "Smite the Intruder" or the Braxian "Technopolt"."

"Ring, is that true?" I whisper.

"Yes sir, and also the Huyian "Cobalt Dash"..."

"Cadet, you also forgot the Huyian "Cobalt Dash", but good effort anyway. The cadets will seperate into two teams..."

I seperate them with a wave of my hand, and the use of a giant spatula. The two teams are the Green and Black.

"Each team has a designated side and a flag they have to protect. One must get to the opposite side and retrieve the other team's flag without getting tagged. You have to get the opposing flag to your side, and you can only get tagged when outside your territory. If you're tagged, you're out. Now use your brains, or your central nervous systems, or whatever passes as it, and think kids. It's about teamwork."

I place the two flags a hundred Earth miles from each other.

"Now go."

Metropolis Elementary School:



It was a typical morning in the halls of Metropolis Elementary; the classes were about to start right before their weekly assembly on a Monday morning. Principal Bryne has been trying to find other heroes in the Metropolis area besides the MPD, MFD, Metropolis hospital workers. But this time he thought he had a real surprise.


The Principal moved to the main microphone area.

“Hello, testing TESTING!” the hall was now silent.

“Hell children, as you know I promised you someone you all admire, you all look up to, he helps those in need even in the toughest of situations. He’s what you would call a hero.”

“Hey I kind of like this guy……”


The school was jaw dropped as most students put their hands up.

“Err yes, Billy.”

“Is it Superman!?”


“Oh no, not that big.”

“Hey what the hell did he mean by th-“

“Sir quiet they might hear you!”

“Batman!?”

“He doesn’t exist stupid, he’s not real!”


“YES HE IS!”


“NAH UH!”

“Gentlemen please, yes you there at the front!”

“Is it Green Lantern?”


“No.”

“Wonder Woman?”

“No.”


“The Flash?”

“No.”

“It’s not Aquaman is it?”


“NO!”

“What about Martian Manh-“

“Ok, ok, enough now boys and girls, here he is out special guest Mr………….BOOSTER GOLD!”

Booster walked briskly to the stage with a smile on his face.

“HEY KIDS!”

There was a long pause as Booster kept smiling before someone broke the silence by putting his hand up.

“YES! You there.”

“Who the hell are you?”

Booster surprised by the reaction.
“Well, I’m the one and only Booster Gold!…………anyone?”

Another long pause sustained.

“Oh come on! I was in the Justice League for a while, me and Blue Beetle!”

Another kid put his hand up.


“Yes you have a question!?”

“Is Blue Beetle your boyfriend!?”

After that the school hall sustained with laughter.

“Oh yeah, that’s really funny. Yeah why don’t you keep asking more funny questions!”

“Ok, Why do you wear that GAY costume, And what’s with that floating thing next to you is he your precious poodle or something!?”

Booster started griniting his teeth.

“Ok, ok,ok…Let me ask you something. HEY HOW THE HELL DOES IT FEEL TO HAVE YOUR DUMB ASS HANGING OUT OF YOU OWN SEAT WHEN YOU’RE ONLY 11? HOW MANY HAMBURGERS DO YOU EAT A DAY!? 100? YOU SHOULD BE DEAD BECAUSE IF YOU KEEP LIVING LIKE THAT YOU’LL END UP IN A GOD DAM HOSPITAL BED FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE AND THEN GUESS WHAT!? AFTER THAT YOU WON’T BE ABLE TO GET A GIRLFRIEND, THEN YOU CAN’T HAVE SEX, THEN YOU CAN’T HAVE A FAMILY! THEN YOU’LL JUST DIE MISERABLE AND ALONE AT THE AGE OF 29 WHEN YOU’RE STOMACH EXPLODES AND YOU END UP VOMITING BLOOD! SO WHY DON’T YOU STOP EATING AND GET SOME EXERCISE!”


After tha long echo all the student’s jaw dropped, as the kid started to cry.

Booster put his hand on his neck and went to the microphone.

“hee..he..he, Umm. Don’t do drugs and um Vote Queen!”

 

[Batman]

Okay, well, I feel like an ass for this... but peer pressure got the best of me. After getting multiple okay's from every one of the active game moderators, aswell as some fellow players not even on the official staff, I've decided to withdraw my Batwoman application at the last minute. In her place is a character that has needed to be played for the last four months, but hasn't, and therefore is up for grabs on a first come/first serve basis...

DC RPG Season VI Application

Screen Name: Master Bruce

Character you would like to play (please include the color and font you plan on using to portray the character): The Flash (Wally West)

Powers and Brief Origin (provide at least two sentences): The Flash is a master of speed, able to run physically faster than the speed of light, occasionally tapping into what is known as "The Speed Force", enabling him to perform astounding feats of energy. Wally, in particular, has shown superhuman traits such as controlling lightning, creating tornadoes, vibrating his molecules through solid material, and overcoming gravity by running up and down veritical obstacles.

The third to bear the infamous legacy of the Scarlet Speedster, Wally West recieved his powers in a duplicate accident that turned his uncle-by-marraige, Barry Allen, into The Flash before him. Operating as Allen's sidekick, Kid Flash, for a number of years, Wally was prompted to don the costume when Barry sacrificed himself to save the world in a time of crisis. Since then, Wally has honored the legacy by becoming one of the most legendary heroes of the modern day, and Keystone City's protector. He is currently a husband and a father, his wife being Linda Park-West and his children being twin infants.

Group your character is aligned with (if applicable): The Justice League Of America; Justice League Elite; The Scarlet Speedsters; Founder of the original Teen Titans.

Write two complete sentences using proper English grammar. One to explain what you plan to do with the character you've chosen. The other to explain why you've chosen this character. (i.e. What are your goals? Will you be doing anything different with the character than is usually seen?): What I want to do with Wally is place him in a situation that tests the absolute limits of what he can truly do, and all that he could potentially sacrifice to get there. He's a master of speed... but can he handle being the THE master of speed? As for why I chose him, well, Wally's been one of my favorite DCU characters for a long time, but I've never gotten a real chance to play him. Now I want to, as it's the perfect time to do so, with The Flash family stronger than ever.

Do you have an Instant Messenger? Which one, and what is your screen name?: [email protected] - MSN, allstarbatman - YIM

It's always the same dream.

He's running, faster than any living creature could possibly hope to. The world is nothing less than a blinding blur around his eyes. His fingertips surge electricity, his pupils glow a bright yellow, and somewhere in between it all, he still finally manages to pass a smirk, as the wind blows across his face, then stops, becoming nothing but slowed air, as he runs ever the faster, burning through reality without so much as a single limitation holding him back. That's what it's like to be the fastest man alive. That's why Wally West loves being The Flash so much.

Then, it all comes crashing down. Suddenly, the world has turned black. Wally notices this, as he comes to a screeching halt, alarmed. The world still grows darker... out of his reach. He runs back, trying to grab at it, but it slips through his fingers. Reality is no longer his vessel. It's gone, leaving him, and only him. He screams out, trying to find it again. Find his wife, his kids, his family... but it's all maddeningly useless. As his search continues, he's joined by a motioned blur of yellow and crimson. And that's when he knows what he's up against... the very thing that makes being The Flash a living hell.

"Hunter...", He whispers under his breath, half surprised, half furious, as he races after the villain, both tearing through the blackness that is unreality. "ZOOM! GET BACK HERE!"

Zoom doesn't listen. He simply keeps running. Finally, growing impatient, Wally's speed increases... until finally, he's caught up with Hunter. Leaping out and tackling him, the two spin through darkness, battling eachother in the face of a forgotten world. Zoom kicks him across the face, he returns it with a punch to the gut. This lasts for decades... centuries, even, in a ridiculous, meaningless battle that never ends. Until finally, Wally stops punching. Zoom laughs in his face, as Wally grabs him by the uniform.

"Why are you laughing?!", Wally asked. "Don't you see what you've done, Hunter?! You've finally gone off the deep end! Your quest to make me a hero is useless, now! How could you be happy?!"

Zoom grins, maniacally, staring back into the Scarlet Speedster's demanding expression.

"Because, dear boy...", He begins, reaching up for his mask. "In all these years, you never bothered to ask which Zoom you were fighting!"

Wally's face grows deathly cold, as Zoom rips away his own mask. And there, staring him back in the face, is Wally's own. Wally drops Zoom, finally realizing that his nightmare has reached fruition. He's become everything he couldn't dare to be. He's the madman that destroyed reality. The other Wally laughs even harder, taking in the sweet, vicious vengeance of his foe's defeat in.

"And you said I've gone off the deep end!"

That's when he wakes up.

Wally's eyes flutter open, widened, as he realizes he's still screaming. Linda looks up at him, confused and startled, grabbing him by the arm.

"W-Wally! Baby! Calm down! Whuh... What's wrong?!", She asks frantically, as Wally finally doubles over, rapidly sweating.

"Oh... Oh god...", He states, with a tremble, grabbing Linda tightly and never wanting to let go. "...Don't let it be true... please, please don't let it be true..."

That's how The Flash handles a nightmare. The same damned nightmare he's always had, ever since Hunter Zolomon entered his life.

He doesn't.

 

[batnkevlar]

Karem-Knight, word of advice, use spell check, and maybe tone down the font size a couple increments... small enough so it's not so huge, but big enough you get your point across...

 

[batnkevlar]

Aww Master Bruce, I'm typing out my Wally app as we speak dude...

 

[Byrd Man]

BnK, Karem, You two are approved.

MB, You're approved too.

Sorry, BnK. But, like MB said. It's been four months and you just dropped off the face of the Earth as Hal and Wally. First come, first serve.

 

[batnkevlar]

I know, and then I reposted maybe a week ago about how I'm back. Like, I made it known though...

 

[Byrd Man]

I know, but offically, we're not suppose to put characters on reserve. Your two week period elapsed and you should have re-posted you app when you said you were back. The character was up for grabs.

 

[Eddie Brock]

Byrd choosing MB over someone else?

*crickets*

Not the right time for jokes, huh?

 

[Byrd Man]

Byrd choosing MB over someone else?

*crickets*

Not the right time for jokes, huh?

*rimshot*

 

[Karem-Knight]

WHOA WHOA WHOA wait hold up!

That two week thing was serious

 

[Byrd Man]

WHOA WHOA WHOA wait hold up!

That two week thing was serious

Well, it wasn't so much "two weeks" as it was "four months"

 

[SuperFerret]

Yeah, that's an excessively long time to be absent.

 

[batnkevlar]

No no, I know it elapsed, and in all fairness, if we're playing with the two-week rule, in the end of the last season OOC thread, no one had picked him up yet. Then I come back, say I'm sticking with Hal and Wally. So then, Wally'd be mine.

And I know I was gone for a long time. I know. It was my fault.

I don't mean to steal another person's character, I just want Wally and Hal, ya know?

 

[Eddie Brock]

He does have a point though, guys. He did notify us of his return.

By the same token, a rule's a rule.

AAAAAHHHH! I can't choose a side! Where's Karem-Knight? I need him to flip a coin for me!

 

[SenseiofCheese]

How many PC's are on the Teen Titans?
I ask because I'd love for Zatara to audition. I don't want him to get accepted, I just really want him to get knocked down a few pegs somewhere down the road.

 

[Eddie Brock]

How many PC's are on the Teen Titans?
I ask because I'd love for Zatara to audition. I don't want him to get accepted, I just really want him to get knocked down a few pegs somewhere down the road.

Let's see:

Supergirl
Kid Flash
Superboy
Wonder Girl
Ravager
Robin
Beast Boy

Did I miss anyone?

 

[Byrd Man]

He does have a point though, guys. He did notify us of his return.

By the same token, a rule's a rule.

AAAAAHHHH! I can't choose a side! Where's Karem-Knight? I need him to flip a coin for me!

Alright, we hammered this thing out. MB will play as Wally and BnK has dibs if and when MB steps down.

 

[Batman]

Okay, the situation's been solved off the boards. I'm still going to be Wally, but we've come to a mutual understanding about this. I apologize, personally, to submitting everyone to this situation in the first place, and hope to make for a great Flash that everyone can be proud of. (Or at least, mildly tolerant of)

In turn, there's nothing to see here... move along...

 

[batnkevlar]

There's gonna be a huge Titans roster this season huh? Hopefully there'll be a JLA... something that never ends up happening is a JSA...

I'd personally like some more Green Lanterns...

 

[Byrd Man]

There's gonna be a huge Titans roster this season huh? Hopefully there'll be a JLA... something that never ends up happening is a JSA...

I'd personally like some more Green Lanterns...

Yeah. It's wierd that the Titans are far more organised than the JLA or JSA.

 

[Eddie Brock]

Yeah. It's wierd that the Titans are far more organised than the JLA or JSA.

It's even weirder that prior to my joining the RPG last second, there were only two PC Titans.

They materialized out of nothing!
