It's even weirder that prior to my joining the RPG last second, there were only two PC Titans.
They materialized out of nothing!
That is true...I did con - I mean, convince
- my way into getting a Robin and a Cassie...
Yes, Bizarro am not no effected by noone! Hello!That is true...I did con - I mean, convince
And I played a minor role in making Spike pick up Bizarro!
I may have a gift. Hopefully Sylar doesn't find me!
I've been here for months, wandering the vast red graveyard that is Ma'aleca'andra alone. A thousand Martian years old I am, and my life has been nothing but a repeating cycle of pain in the recent orbits around the sun.
Once again, I found myself here, at the site where I buried my wife and daughter years ago. I've visited this place many times, and during each I feel such a great tightening in my soul. The weight of an undying sadness. It is not the only grief I carry.
Many times before I have attempted to reclaim some of the happiness I had felt as a husband and father. The latest was all too similar to my original plight, and as a result, I ran here.
To Mars. To Ma'aleca'andra. To the place of my birth.
My eyes wander off, to gaze at the blue orb that had once been my second home. I miss it greatly. I have family there, individuals that I care about deeply and who have adopted me as one of their own.
I realize now what a mistake I have made. I ran here to hide from my pain, when I could have... no.. when I should have sought the council of those who care for me.
I must bid farewell to my home, for I, J'onn J'onzz, the Manhunter from Mars, am going home.
Me no am not lying about everything!Liar.
How dare you! Oh well...at least i have recognition of my existence! *goes off to nurse hangover*
DC RPG Season VI Application
Screen Name: MaskedManJRK
Character you would like to play (please include the color and font you plan on using to portray the character): The Question
Powers and Brief Origin (provide at least two sentences): Charles Victor Szasz was left on the doorsteps of a church when he was just an infant. He defied the oppressive teachings the nuns gave him and left to become an investigative reporter. When he needed a disguise for his work, he used a strange material made by a scientist named Aristotle, and with the release of an adhesive gas, he becomes the vigilante known as The Question.
That's his first origin. His second is when he fell: he focused too much on fighting and less on discovering the truth, and was shot in the head. He regained his balance with the teachings of martial artist Richard Dragon and the mysterious assassin Lady Shiva. Now he's regained his balance, and is out to do his best to clean up his hometown of Hub City, while understanding the world around him and, most important of all, who he truly is.
Group your character is aligned with (if applicable): He's mostly a lone wolf, with his only real allies being Batman, Huntress, and Green Arrow.
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?): If Batman is my childhood hero, the epitome of who I wanted to be, then The Question is the adult equivalent, focused less on the fisticuffs and more on the philosophical. The Question is the thinking-man's superhero, and I want to bring him to the forefront for it.
Do you have an Instant Messenger? Which one, and what is your screen name?: You'd think you'd remember it from my other application, but okay:
AIM -- DarkKnightJRK
MSN -- [email protected]
Yahoo -- CapedCrusaderJRK
If you know how to post pictures, please provide a picture of your character you wish to be used for the Character Roster (if you do not know how, or do not have a preference, please say so and a default picture shall be picked for you):
Please provide a small sample post with original content in the style that you plan to write your character in (must be at least 3 paragraphs long and contain at least one line of dialogue):
(Note: I still had an extra post left for my arc as The Question last season. So, this is going to be the final part to it, albiet very summed up. Charlie will explain what just happened in a moment...)
Hub City. My hometown. Most people would rather pull out their own teeth then mention it, but it's the truth, and self-deception isn't a good trait to me.
This here, is Hub City Hell--flesh-eating zombies are roaming the streets, and a huge creature that looks like a vagina if invented by H.P. Lovecraft has ripped through the city streets.
Why? No f**king idea, other then the unnamed man formally from Intergang, whom I have lovingly named Ass-Hole, wanted to release them. He killed a friend of my, Nora, by ripping her throat open and reading from some book called The Crime Bible to do so.
"You son of a b***h, tell me the spell to put it back, or I swear I will kill you." The Ass-Hole gives a reaction I didn't want to hear--he laughs.
"Are you kidding me? I'll never tell you, because you will never be able to figure it out yourself, and you won't kill me, because I'm the only one who can stop it. Your in-between a rock and a hard place, Charlie. You, and the world, are so incredibly f**ked it's not even funny. I am your new ruler!"
My muscular buttocks he is. Still, he is right--I don't know how to get it out of him. Then I remember--the power. I saw into Ted Kord, Blue Beetle, with it, and Myra, saw who they were. If I can do it randomly, I know I can do it under my own will.
I shut my eyes, I shut my ears, I shut off the whole world until there is only me. I breathe in. I breathe out. I imagine in my head this new power within me and I tap into it. I open my eyes, I look at Ass-Hole, and I SEE. I smirk under my mask, and I wonder and hope he can see it.
"The hell you are...Francis. Yep, I know you're real name, and I know you're a big momma's boy. You were the kid that would wear your mother's heels when she wasn't around. You have a huge superiority complex because you feel you have an extraordinary small package, you still can't grow a mustache, and you still occasionally wet the bed. I also know that the spell that can stop this is on the 13th page, between the spell to start the apocalypse and the spell to create in your foes a mountain of acne--I guess it goes alphabetically.
"Are you finished with your spiel, or can I just come over there and feed you to the zombies now?"
I see fear and embarrassment move through his face. I run towards him and grab him by his horrible ponytail (hate those hairstyles--then again, I used to have a mullet, so I shouldn't talk) and drag him to the edge by his collar.
"The woman you killed to bring all this destruction. Did you know her name?"
"No no I didn't--please don't let them eat me--"
"Her name was Nora Lace. Say it. Say it, and I might just snap your neck instead of letting the zombies eat you."
"Please don't don't--"
"NORA LACE! Say it!"
"Nora Lace Nora Lace oh God I said it please don't let me die--"
I grab him and push him over the ledge. He screams like a little girl and drops into a dumpster, causing the lid to fall. I grab a loose piece of brick and drop it on the the lid, causing it to stay closed. If the zombies get through, it's just his time to die.
I grab the Crime Bible from the ground, turn to the 13th page and read out the incantation. The zombies, in massive droves, drop to the floor. The monster's head explodes. There's peace in Hub City, finally, for the first time in perhaps ever.
The Bug lands on the roof and Ted and Myra come out. Both of them bear-hug me. Myra tells me that she's going to commend me for saving the city. Ted complains, saying he helped, too. I leave them to argue the semantics and I go to the ledge and look down.
I see the people get out of their holes and already, they're starting to clean up. All their differences, bigotries, indifference, tossed aside--they're all members of Hub City, they've faced an obstacle outside of themselves and they survived.
As with all unity after disasters, it'll soon crumble. The people will once again try to steal and kill from one another. I know it, but I still try to enjoy it, for what it is.
Hub City will be rebuilt, and hopefully, for the better.
You're approved, you Rorschach wannabe....or is it the other way around?Just letting you guys know the progress of the roster is going very nicely.
One thing really shocked me, and that's the ratio from Heroes to Walking the Line characters to Villains. You ready for this? This ratio, as the roster, is composed of only people who have applied and have been approved. I know there are some people who haven't applied yet, but this ratio still stunned me.
17:1:5
Where are all our villains!?
