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

[twylight]

I'll have my Brainiac app up...just as soon as Ferret gets his sorry ass in gear.

I'll have my 'special' up as well as soon as BOTH of them get in gear.

 

[trustyside-kick]

Also, Harlekin, today I bought and got installed a new printer that also scans and such. I'm going through my JSA comics now to get a better picture for Captain Nazi.

If you'd like I can send you some cool pics and panels of him and the rest of that Nazi team.

 

[Harlekin]

That'd be awesome Trusty. Seriously though, keep that one pic you already have for the roster. It's perfect.

 

[trustyside-kick]

I'll PM you the other pics I could use, just to make sure.

 

[Catman_prb]

I would have made it longer but I'm writing a paper right now. Oh and would any villains would like to join the Injustice Gang?

Scarface and the Ventriloquist would!

 

[MaskedManJRK]

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!?

Well, I think Q would work as "Walking the Line," 'cause he's not a full-fledged superhero, and since he'd love to be under a title named after a Johnny Cash song.

You're approved, you Rorschach wannabe....or is it the other way around?

Rorschach is technically a Question clone, but Q did try to impersonate Rorschach during the O'Neil run with...mixed results.

JRK, for the roster...I'd strongly recommend you giving me a different Batman picture or allowing me to choose one.

That is a cool picture, but at the same time when the pixels are as small as it will be, and when it is black, gray, and white? Doesn't look good at all.

Okay, I'll find another one to use.

 

[Spike_x1]

Scarface and the Ventriloquist would!

You should probably know that Wonder Woman killed the Ventriloquist a couple seasons back. It's easy enough to bring dead comic characters back to life, but it's still a detail that you should definitely know going in.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Screen Name: Keyser Soze

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

Powers and Brief Origin (provide at least two sentences):
His origins are shrouded in mystery. Some say he was an ordinary man, driven insane by great tragedy. Others say he was always a monster. But what is known is that a fall into a vat of chemicals bleached the skin of this nameless man white, and dyed his hair green. In that moment, the ultimate emobdiment of evil as madness was created. On that night, The Joker was born.

The Joker has no superpowers. But he has a collection of comedically-themed weapons, from high-voltage joy-buzzers to acid-squirting trick-flowers. And then there is his most deadly weapon: Joker Venom, often taking the form of a lethal laughing gas, that leaves its victims with a permanent rictus grin. But what makes The Joker truly dangerous is his pure insanity. It makes his actions impossible to predict, and means he has no conscience, no restraint, no remorse. He could very well be the most dangerous man on the planet.

Group your character is aligned with (if applicable):

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?):
I plan to continue telling the story I've been telling as The Joker since Season 2. And I hope to keep the character interesting by plunging to new depths of depravity.

Do you have an Instant Messenger? Which one, and what is your screen name?:
I use MSN Messenger. And my e-mail address is:

Funny story. We’re all plummeting headlong into oblivion! It’s the sun, you see. The sun is a star, a great big, shining star that gives us light and warmth and life. But here’s the punchline. The sun is what’s called a yellow dwarf star, see? And some time waaaaaaay in the future, a process called helium fusion will make our sun expand into a red giant star. And when that happens, what becomes of little old planet Earth? All the water covering the planet gets boiled away, our atmosphere is forced out into space, and our planet is engulfed and destroyed in the fires of the great life-giver, the force that allows us to exist. And what happens then? All Earth’s evolution, all the great achievements in history of our greatest minds and bravest souls – all of it wiped out, burned away into nothingness, lost in the vast, infinite emptiness of space.

Isn’t that just hilarious? Doesn’t it make you want to laugh until your sides split?

And you have to laugh at these things. Mankind’s greatest problem is that it takes itself much too seriously. Me, I’m a pragmatic guy. I realise that life has so meaning, no purpose, no sanctity. Sometimes, when I’ve got nothing else to do, it amuses me to close my eyes and just…count the seconds passing, and I think about how with every second I count in my head, hundreds of people all over the world have died. That’s how throwaway life is. Every day, people get murdered, kids get raped, abandoned babies lie starving on the street. Truth be told, life is nothing more than a sick, twisted joke. Yet nobody has the balls to laugh at it!

What kind of perverted, pathetic race are we? We’re on this planet 80 years or so, if we’re lucky, and we waste it on doubt, and decorum, and doing “what’s right.” What is right? What a book written a couple of thousand years ago tells us is right? So the human race squanders is existence, lives life to a fraction of what it’s capable of, and all across the world, people die thinking about what they could have done.

Not me. I love life. Now, that may seem like a contradiction, since I’ve just said life’s nothing more than a cruel joke. But it’s true. I do what so few are capable of. I live life to the fullest. All day, every day, if something pops into my head, and I think “boy, I’d like to do that!”, I do it. No hesitation. No second thoughts. No long-term life’s purpose, other than to have as much fun as I can. I love life. I can laugh at life. I get the joke.

Funny fact #1: This is an actual law, in Pennsylvania. Any motorist who sights a team of horses coming toward him must pull well off the road, cover his car with a blanket or canvas that blends with the countryside, and let the horses pass. If the horses appear skittish, the motorist must take his car apart, piece by piece, and hide it under the nearest bushes. Interesting!

There is nothing more fun than killing someone. I highly recommend that everybody tries it, at least once. Me? I’ve done it oh, over a thousand times now, and it never gets old. Oh no, it’s wrong. Says who? The law? We’re all gonna die anyway. Life is a terminal illness. We might as well have some fun with it. And what people don’t tell you about murder, is how funny it is. When you kill someone, you take away all they are, and all they’ll ever be. Think of the power in that for a second. The immense satisfaction of taking everything. And it can be done so easily as well. Over the years, countless minds have obsessed over the great question: what is the meaning of life? Well I have the answer. Life is a joke, and death is the punchline. It’s the grand reveal, the kicker, that for all that talk about how life is oh so precious, in the end we’re left with a bunch of useless parts, a sack of already-decaying flesh, and an emptied bowels. That’s the core gag, but a truly great comedian brings something new to the table for each audience, something special. That’s why I like to spice things up, add my own comedic flair to proceedings, and make death a hoot. Add an s onto laughter, and you’ve got slaughter!

Funny fact #2: When you slam a baby against a brick wall, the skull doesn’t make a CRACK sound, like you’d expect, but rather a kinda dull THUD. I believe this is because the skull has not yet hardened at that young age, but I’m not an expert.

I tell you what I like. Chairs. Think about it. What genius invented the chair, something to sit your ass down on when your legs are sore? But it’s so much more than that. Sit a whoopee cushion on a chair, and you’ve got a great gag. Saw one of the legs right down, so it collapses when someone sits on it, and you’ve got another. Strap someone to it, and yank our their eyes with a pair of rusty scissors, and you’ve got another. And then there’s the great comedy riffs. The ejector seat. The toilet seat. And best of all, the electric chair. Think about that one for a moment. You strap a guy to a chair, and pump him full of electricity until his eyes pop and his brain fries. I didn’t think of that one, by the way. The state came up with that one, the humane way to kill criminals. Not that I have to ever worry about the death penalty, wink wink nudge nudge.

It’s great, being nuts. I tell you, it’s the next stage in human evolution. Cast aside obsolete myths like logic, reason and morality, and live as we were meant to live, truly free. Down with government. Down with society. Down with order. Down with hope, faith, love, and all those other venereal diseases. Up, up, up your ass with a firecracker! HA! The human race are nothing more than pigs in cages, pumped up on anti-biotics and daytime TV, eating and sleeping and s**ting and f**king. And it’s time to start gutting those piggies and bleeding them dry. Bleed piggies, bleed! REEEEEEEEEEE! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

But enough of this dark talk of scary people, eh? Off to pasture, little piggies. Float away in blissful ignorance until I come a-callin’ for you. Go outside, it’s a beautiful morning. Stand in the street, stare up into the sky, and close your eyes. Savour the sun beating down on your face.

It’s getting closer every day.

DC RPG Season VI Application

Screen Name: wiegeabo

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

Powers and Brief Origin (provide at least two sentences): Sinestro is a former member of the Green Lantern Corps. that now uses a yellow ring of Qward for his own purposes. Like a Lantern ring, it can create constructs based on the will of the wearer. Unlike Lantern rings, the constructs are yellow, and the ring is charged by Lantern energy.

Group your character is aligned with (if applicable): Justice League

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?): When I first learned Sinestro was free, I took him in Season III to lead him into a new direction. I've brought him to Earth to relearn how to be a hero and restore Order rather than Chaos. In this season, Sinestro will continue to grow and learn, hopefully, finally realize his new goal, to become the hero that can bring order to the universe.

Do you have an Instant Messenger? Which one, and what is your screen name?: MSN, AIM, Yahoo. All under wiegeabo.

I float high above the newly rebuilt city, satisfied with our work. The people of this planet can breath safe once again. At least, until the next madman tries to destroy them. I still think killing them would be easier. But who says being a hero is supposed to be easy? It's a hard lesson I've had to relearn.

I consider what to do with myself now that the crisis is over. Now that there seems to be nothing left to do. Perhaps I should focus on reforming the League. The thought gives me pause. It's a goal left unattained far longer than I had planned. And every effort to bring the members back together has been frustratingly interrupted.

My thoughts momentarily move to the Justice Society. Granted I barely got to know them, but they seemed to be a tightly knit group. Scott and I fought well together. Power Girl and I seemed to have similar ideas of how to get things done. Even Garrick is a formidable ally. Perhaps joining them would be a wiser course of actioin.

But if I know one thing, it's that this planet needs all the groups it can get. And if no one else is going to reform the League, then I'll make damn sure it gets done myself. So I point myself towards Metropolis knowing that will be the best place to start.

"Sinestro of Korugar, The time has come."

I spin in the air, startled at the familiar voice. "Ganthet," I say to the projection.

"Obviously,"the giant floating head replies.

"And what time has come, exactly?"

"The time for your judgement."

I'm at a loss for words. My eyebrows couldn't be any higher on my face. My eyes couldn't be any wider. "M-My...judgement? What the frak does that mean?"

Ganthet sighs, choosing to ignore my obscenity. "It is time for the Guardians to determine your fate."

"And what fate would that be?"

"Two possible paths are before you. On one, you remain free to continue along your path to bring order to the universe."

"I like that path."

"If we find you insincere in your convictions, or lacking in your development, you will find yourself on the second path."

"Meaning?"

"You will be returned to the Central Battery. Imprisoned for all of time."

"..."

"Now you understand the seriousness of the situation. Make ready. Gather allies in your defense. We will come to you when preparations are made."

"What if I feel I need more time? Don't I have a say in this?"

"...No." With that, Ganthet's head vanishes, leaving me to continue on my way to Metropolis in contemplation of my situation.

And determine who my allies really are...

[trustyside-kick]

Well, I think Q would work as "Walking the Line," 'cause he's not a full-fledged superhero, and since he'd love to be under a title named after a Johnny Cash song.

Eh, the Walking The Line title is more along the lines of an anti-hero for the most part. That, or a villain (like Sinestro) trying to right wrongs. I just do not understand why Q would ever fall under that category.

Okay, I'll find another one to use.

The one you send me is brilliant. I have never seen that picture before either; although I haven't surfed for any cool bat pics in a long time. I'll put it in.

I open the door, the familiar sight and smell of home makes me smile. "Jay?" And the sound of Joan's voice let's me know that everything will be all right.

"Yeah, it's me."

I round the corner and she's there waiting for me. We wrap our arms around each other and I hold her tight. For the first time in a long time, I feel like everything will be fine. "With everything that happened, I was worried."

I smile. "You always are."

"What did you expect?" she asks, returning my smile.

"That you'll always be here."

"Always," she says. We kiss, and I allow myself to fall into it. All the problems, all the pressures that had built up lately melt away. I just enjoy the moment, being with my wife, home and safe.

We pull away, even though I don't really want to. I lead her towards the living room. "Is Wally back?"

"Not yet. Iris just put the twins down. And I think she's catching a nap herself. Lord knows I could use one too."

I chuckle as we sit on the sofa. "I guess taking care of twins isn't so easy. Especially for those without super speed."

"Oh, you think you can do better?"

"I-I didn't mean-"

Joan pokes my in the chest. "Maybe Iris and I will go out tomorrow and see how you and Wally hold up with those two."

"No, wait. I didn't mean- I mean I'm sure that-" I notice the sly smile on her face. "Guess I walked into that one."

"More like ran into it. At super speed."

"Heh. How about we all stay home tomorrow."

"Now that's an idea I can get behind." Joan lays her head on my chest and I hold her in my arms.

"Me too," I say, finally feeling some measure of peace. "Me too."

I open the door, the familiar sight and smell of home makes me smile. "Jay?" And the sound of Joan's voice let's me know that everything will be all right.

"Yeah, it's me."

I round the corner and she's there waiting for me. We wrap our arms around each other and I hold her tight. For the first time in a long time, I feel like everything will be fine. "With everything that happened, I was worried."

I smile. "You always are."

"What did you expect?" she asks, returning my smile.

"That you'll always be here."

"Always," she says. We kiss, and I allow myself to fall into it. All the problems, all the pressures that had built up lately melt away. I just enjoy the moment, being with my wife, home and safe.

We pull away, even though I don't really want to. I lead her towards the living room. "Is Wally back?"

"Not yet. Iris just put the twins down. And I think she's catching a nap herself. Lord knows I could use one too."

I chuckle as we sit on the sofa. "I guess taking care of twins isn't so easy. Especially for those without super speed."

"Oh, you think you can do better?"

"I-I didn't mean-"

Joan pokes my in the chest. "Maybe Iris and I will go out tomorrow and see how you and Wally hold up with those two."

"No, wait. I didn't mean- I mean I'm sure that-" I notice the sly smile on her face. "Guess I walked into that one."

"More like ran into it. At super speed."

"Heh. How about we all stay home tomorrow."

"Now that's an idea I can get behind." Joan lays her head on my chest and I hold her in my arms.

"Me too," I say, finally feeling some measure of peace. "Me too."

Approved, you golden oldie sum *****.

By the way guys...since there are borders and what not...let's say there are two Flashes (like there are). On the roster it says The Flash for both of them, but obviously you can tell which ones from the pictures. The reasoning behind this is that if I type out "The Flash - Wally West", it takes up a lot more room.

I don't think there will be a conflict with Barry or Wally being one of them since Barry is dead. Same for if we get more GLs; it is easy to distinguish who is who.

Screen Name: Keyser Soze

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

Powers and Brief Origin (provide at least two sentences):
His origins are shrouded in mystery. Some say he was an ordinary man, driven insane by great tragedy. Others say he was always a monster. But what is known is that a fall into a vat of chemicals bleached the skin of this nameless man white, and dyed his hair green. In that moment, the ultimate emobdiment of evil as madness was created. On that night, The Joker was born.

The Joker has no superpowers. But he has a collection of comedically-themed weapons, from high-voltage joy-buzzers to acid-squirting trick-flowers. And then there is his most deadly weapon: Joker Venom, often taking the form of a lethal laughing gas, that leaves its victims with a permanent rictus grin. But what makes The Joker truly dangerous is his pure insanity. It makes his actions impossible to predict, and means he has no conscience, no restraint, no remorse. He could very well be the most dangerous man on the planet.

Group your character is aligned with (if applicable):

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?):
I plan to continue telling the story I've been telling as The Joker since Season 2. And I hope to keep the character interesting by plunging to new depths of depravity.

Do you have an Instant Messenger? Which one, and what is your screen name?:
I use MSN Messenger. And my e-mail address is:

Funny story. We’re all plummeting headlong into oblivion! It’s the sun, you see. The sun is a star, a great big, shining star that gives us light and warmth and life. But here’s the punchline. The sun is what’s called a yellow dwarf star, see? And some time waaaaaaay in the future, a process called helium fusion will make our sun expand into a red giant star. And when that happens, what becomes of little old planet Earth? All the water covering the planet gets boiled away, our atmosphere is forced out into space, and our planet is engulfed and destroyed in the fires of the great life-giver, the force that allows us to exist. And what happens then? All Earth’s evolution, all the great achievements in history of our greatest minds and bravest souls – all of it wiped out, burned away into nothingness, lost in the vast, infinite emptiness of space.

Isn’t that just hilarious? Doesn’t it make you want to laugh until your sides split?

And you have to laugh at these things. Mankind’s greatest problem is that it takes itself much too seriously. Me, I’m a pragmatic guy. I realise that life has so meaning, no purpose, no sanctity. Sometimes, when I’ve got nothing else to do, it amuses me to close my eyes and just…count the seconds passing, and I think about how with every second I count in my head, hundreds of people all over the world have died. That’s how throwaway life is. Every day, people get murdered, kids get raped, abandoned babies lie starving on the street. Truth be told, life is nothing more than a sick, twisted joke. Yet nobody has the balls to laugh at it!

What kind of perverted, pathetic race are we? We’re on this planet 80 years or so, if we’re lucky, and we waste it on doubt, and decorum, and doing “what’s right.” What is right? What a book written a couple of thousand years ago tells us is right? So the human race squanders is existence, lives life to a fraction of what it’s capable of, and all across the world, people die thinking about what they could have done.

Not me. I love life. Now, that may seem like a contradiction, since I’ve just said life’s nothing more than a cruel joke. But it’s true. I do what so few are capable of. I live life to the fullest. All day, every day, if something pops into my head, and I think “boy, I’d like to do that!”, I do it. No hesitation. No second thoughts. No long-term life’s purpose, other than to have as much fun as I can. I love life. I can laugh at life. I get the joke.

Funny fact #1: This is an actual law, in Pennsylvania. Any motorist who sights a team of horses coming toward him must pull well off the road, cover his car with a blanket or canvas that blends with the countryside, and let the horses pass. If the horses appear skittish, the motorist must take his car apart, piece by piece, and hide it under the nearest bushes. Interesting!

There is nothing more fun than killing someone. I highly recommend that everybody tries it, at least once. Me? I’ve done it oh, over a thousand times now, and it never gets old. Oh no, it’s wrong. Says who? The law? We’re all gonna die anyway. Life is a terminal illness. We might as well have some fun with it. And what people don’t tell you about murder, is how funny it is. When you kill someone, you take away all they are, and all they’ll ever be. Think of the power in that for a second. The immense satisfaction of taking everything. And it can be done so easily as well. Over the years, countless minds have obsessed over the great question: what is the meaning of life? Well I have the answer. Life is a joke, and death is the punchline. It’s the grand reveal, the kicker, that for all that talk about how life is oh so precious, in the end we’re left with a bunch of useless parts, a sack of already-decaying flesh, and an emptied bowels. That’s the core gag, but a truly great comedian brings something new to the table for each audience, something special. That’s why I like to spice things up, add my own comedic flair to proceedings, and make death a hoot. Add an s onto laughter, and you’ve got slaughter!

Funny fact #2: When you slam a baby against a brick wall, the skull doesn’t make a CRACK sound, like you’d expect, but rather a kinda dull THUD. I believe this is because the skull has not yet hardened at that young age, but I’m not an expert.

I tell you what I like. Chairs. Think about it. What genius invented the chair, something to sit your ass down on when your legs are sore? But it’s so much more than that. Sit a whoopee cushion on a chair, and you’ve got a great gag. Saw one of the legs right down, so it collapses when someone sits on it, and you’ve got another. Strap someone to it, and yank our their eyes with a pair of rusty scissors, and you’ve got another. And then there’s the great comedy riffs. The ejector seat. The toilet seat. And best of all, the electric chair. Think about that one for a moment. You strap a guy to a chair, and pump him full of electricity until his eyes pop and his brain fries. I didn’t think of that one, by the way. The state came up with that one, the humane way to kill criminals. Not that I have to ever worry about the death penalty, wink wink nudge nudge.

It’s great, being nuts. I tell you, it’s the next stage in human evolution. Cast aside obsolete myths like logic, reason and morality, and live as we were meant to live, truly free. Down with government. Down with society. Down with order. Down with hope, faith, love, and all those other venereal diseases. Up, up, up your ass with a firecracker! HA! The human race are nothing more than pigs in cages, pumped up on anti-biotics and daytime TV, eating and sleeping and s**ting and f**king. And it’s time to start gutting those piggies and bleeding them dry. Bleed piggies, bleed! REEEEEEEEEEE! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

But enough of this dark talk of scary people, eh? Off to pasture, little piggies. Float away in blissful ignorance until I come a-callin’ for you. Go outside, it’s a beautiful morning. Stand in the street, stare up into the sky, and close your eyes. Savour the sun beating down on your face.

It’s getting closer every day.

Dude, tell me you're going to continue writing Joker in first person, 'cause that was one of the best Joker posts I've seen you do.

Eh, the Walking The Line title is more along the lines of an anti-hero for the most part. That, or a villain (like Sinestro) trying to right wrongs. I just do not understand why Q would ever fall under that category.

The way I see him, he's not a traditonal superhero, he's basically a regular guy with a mask. It's the same as saying that, say, Phillip Marlowe is a complete and utter hero. But, it was just a suggestion.

Oh btw guys, I have a ton of pix saved on my hard drive (no not those type, i mean comics type) so if anyone wants any pix, just let me know... i have a ton...

Got any for Q and Bats that I might not have seen?

 

[batnkevlar]

Question and Bats? Hmm, lemme check...

 

[batnkevlar]

Hmm, take what you want... these are my newer Batman pix... the Question ones I have are the same old Question ones you see everywhere...

 

[batnkevlar]

 

[MaskedManJRK]

...

Yep, definately taking some of them. t:

You should probably know that Wonder Woman killed the Ventriloquist a couple seasons back. It's easy enough to bring dead comic characters back to life, but it's still a detail that you should definitely know going in.

Ah right cheers. How did he die exactly?

 

[Spike_x1]

My mistake; it was the Mad Hatter who Diana killed at the time in question. All she did to Wesker was threaten to rip his tongue out before Superman stopped her from going through with it.
