Pfff, please.

Polar bears for breakfast, cheetahs for lunch, and rusted metal for dinner.

What's your diet like :cmad:
 
DC RPG Season VI Application

Screen Name: Peter Parker

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

Powers and Brief Origin (provide at least two sentences) If you copy/paste this information from another website, link back to it, or it is considered plagiarism and is not allowed. :
I'm not sure what's been done with her in this game. I ran searches on all of former seasons, and she's only been mentioned in passing, aside from Twylight playing her back in Season I. I looked in the archives, but I couldn't find Season I. So, barring any objects from Twy or other players, I'm going to jump right in with the story and my own fresh spin on it.

Drawing heavily on the Year One plot, I'll establish Selina Kyle as something of... well... a ****e. Of course, she'll have the obligatory dysfunctional childhood and, after seeing Batman in action, she'll take to the rooftops of Gotham. Without delving too much into her motivation or psyche here, I'd note that, much like Batman, her past will be a driving force for her actions. In most every sense, she'll be his literary foil.

Group your character is aligned with (if applicable):
Bat-Rogues...?

Oh, and ****s.

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've always been partial to Bat-Rogues, and Catwoman is a rather intricate part of the Batman character and his mythos.

Do you have an Instant Messenger? Which one, and what is your screen name?:
All 3. You can find my screennames in my user profile.

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):

They told me I'd never make anything of myself.

A quiet figure slinks along the edge of a building. The moon is high in the sky as she moves, her form grazing the bricks that line the rooftop. Behind her, a large skylight shines brightly into the cool, brisk night air. The dull sounds of a jazz band and the murmur of polite conversation make their way through the few open windows that surround the room.

They told me that I'd never get anything unless I took it.

As she moves, the figure atop the building squints. The squeaking leather of her suit and the jangling jewels that hang from her body make her easy to spot and even easier to hear. She throws caution to the wind, though, and slips into an opened window.

The day I first stole for my own benefit, I felt something.

She looks around. The police chief's darkened bedroom. She snorts aloud, realizing that it isn't as lavishly appointed as she thought it would be. She glances around. She's been in plenty of homes like this one before, and none of them have gotten to her. This one is no different.
I've been searching for it ever since.

The music of the chief's party swells and comes to a halt, eventually being overrun by thunderous applause. Assuming that the coast is clear to push further into the house, The Catwoman moves towards the door, reaching for the handle.

As she gracefully wraps her hand around the brass knob, it begins to turn. Drawing back, she sulks into the shadows.

I've trudged through every alleyway, lain on every politician's bed, crept along every rooftop.

"Shh!"A man hisses. Draped over his arm is a woman with a bottle of champagne in her hand. A crack of light shines into the room as the drunken pair forget to fully close the door behind them.

Peering from behind an armoire, the burglar smirks to herself as the woman spills champagne all over her lover's lap.

"****!" He growls "Drunk bimbo."

"It's barely -hic- noticeable." She insists.

"Tell it to my wife."

The drunken girl says something more, but the cat is already prowling down the hallway, leaving no trace of her presence in the bedroom.

I looked inside myself and saw nothing but anger and torment.

She opens another door, finding the police chief's private home office.

No matter what I've told myself... what I've desired, the truth is that deep down, at my core and in my heart...

Not wasting a second, she begins to tear the office apart, ripping books from shelves, lamps from the tables, and paintings off of the walls.

I enjoy this.

Eventually, she finds it: the chief's personal safe. But she's too late, she's made too much noise or set off an alarm or underestimated the sobriety of the couple in the other room.

And I'm not going to stop until someone, or something, puts me down for the last time.

CA-CHICK!

CA-CHICK!
CA-CHICK!

Dozens of bullets are loaded into chambers behind her back.

Catwoman looks over her shoulder, the moonlight illuminating every curve on her flawless body.

"Mraow." The Catwoman says aloud, a curt smile sliding onto her pouting lips.
 
..........

Holy unexpected applications, Batman. :wow:
 
Holy crap, Selina was my first choice as to who I was going to pick up next season. No worries, thought, I have backups.
 
Pick her up in UDC.

And no, I'm not just saying that because of the chance of having sexual chemistry with you. That's just part of it. Really! :csad:
 
EDIT: Ah, I see where the issue was. I got mixed up with which story he was referrencing in his application. Everything seems fine then.

Approved.
 
Question: does anyone know if Harley is still running around as Batwoman? It would kind of matter to me. :O
 
She wasn't running around as Batwoman. She even fought Batwoman.

No, she was running around as Batwoman. She wanted to impress Batman by ditching her Harlequin motif and putting on a homemade batsuit. The reason they did fight was because she stole it from Kate in the first place.

Yep. :up:
 
Glad you've decided to join PP, but I've got to say, I'm personally not a big fan of the Catwoman=a ****e angle.

That's how I remember it. :up: Anyway, I imagine that if they were to cross paths again, we'd see quite a rivalry.

...Not that I'm saying they'll cross paths again. :ninja:

Well see, I had that same issue as well...but he was talking about Catwoman: Year One, and not Batman: Year One when talking about that.
 
Alrighty! We had another little mini-session this morning :) I'll sift through and send info out to everyone!

You better send me some info, ****e.

And speaking of ****es, bout time that Marvel ****e SSF came around here.
 
On the "****e" angle--I thought it was said that she was simply a dominatrix. :confused:
