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

[wiegeabo]

I have a Grodd post half-written. Apologies for the long delays on my posting recently. Just WAY too stressed in real life lately to be any good here.

Still, I'm going to try and finish Grodd today so that arc can get moving again. And thanks to those of you keeping the story functional during my lag. Seriously, thank you.

You know what's good for stress?


Killing humans.

[Temple Fugate]

Screen Name: Temple Fugate

Character you would like to play (please include the color and font you plan on using to portray the character): Jason Woodrue / The Floronic Man

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. : Jason Woodrue was a master criminal on a planet populated by dryads. Because of his crimes he was banished to Earth where it was thought he would perish. He didn’t. Using his advanced knowledge of botany he became a scientist and experimented with animal/plant hybrids. One of his experiments was on Pamela Isly who, as a result, became Poison Ivy. Woodrue conceals his "floral" appearance by means of a spray on skin. Being made of wood and fauna he has a mild resilience to physical attack. He also also has some control over plant life and has above average intelligence.

Group your character is aligned with (if applicable): Injustice Gang, New Guardians, Secret Society of Super Villains. I will use none of them.

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 use this character as a sort of inverse to my Swamp Thing. He will think he is superior to people and thus will hate them, but instead of helping people because of an inner sense of obligation he kills and destroys without remorse. I chose Woodrue because I wanted to play a villain with a sort of messianic complex, sort of like maxie zeus in Arkham Asylum. Woodrue at this point will have come to terms with the fact that he is not a champion of the green, but rather an a mutant dryad who hates people and will use his control over the green (when in alliance with it) to hurt people.

Do you have an Instant Messenger? Which one, and what is your screen name?: negative. Just pm me if you need something.

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):

Back in the middle ages alchemists spent decades trying to turn worthless metals into gold. None of them succeeded simply because it is impossible. Just as it is impossible to turn a rock into water, or a rose into a weed. You can clip the rose, paint the rose, even genetically alter the rose, but it is still a rose. To try is redundant. Nothing will ever change that.

"Good e vening Doctor Styes",

I say as a woman walks into the therapy room at Arkham Asylum. As she shuts the door I can see her shiver as she turns and looks at me, a common response given my appearance She quickly diverts her eyes around the room looking for something that she might defend herself with should I assault her. There is nothing, but the two steel chairs bolted to the floor and a likewise bolted down table between them. She calms a bit when she sees the two way mirror on the side of the room. It’s funny how it should calm to know that there are guards watching through that glass. As if they could do anything to help her if I attack her.

"Hello Doctor Woodrue, how are you feeling?"

"Fine thank you", I reply as she begins to calm down even more.

She flips through my chart reviewing her notes on my history, most of which she already knows by heart. Last week a security guard was found strangled in the maintenance closet. He had splinters in his neck. Disrespect is an awful thing, and awful things have to be corrected. She is looking for a confession from me.

"Doctor Woodrue, do you know why I scheduled this meeting"? She asked.

"Because of Doctor Adams’s passing away". I say making myself more erect in my chair. A sound like cracking wood echoes as I do this and it makes the good doctor noticeably uncomfortable.

"Yes Jason that’s why I’m here. I want to talk to you about Doctor Adams dying. Did you have anything to do with it"? She says this the faint sound of a door closing in the mesc hall can be heard echoing through the dank hallways of this building of madness.

A smirk grows on my face.

"Yes, I killed him"

"That’s all I need to hear. Guards! Please escort Doctor Woodrue back to his cell!" she says hurriedly as she stands gathering her things, not noticing me stand also.

"Tell me Miss Styes, " I say walking alongside the table toward her. She looks up alarmed at my closeness, "when something simply takes up space and serves no purpose doesn’t it make sense to remove it to make room for something useful?"

She begins to back away looking at the door panicked praying that the guards will burst through the door and take me away. However no such help comes. The guard room is empty as the guards have gone on their seemingly ritual restroom break.

"Why ye-yes Jason I suppose so..... GUARDS! WOULD YOU PLEASE COME IN HERE!"

She’s backing into a corner and begins to hyperventilate and perspire fiercly on her forehead dampening her brown bangs.

"They aren’t coming Miss Styes, and your existence here is redundant".

A sound like a tree falling in the forest reverberated off of the walls of the room as I descend on her. Strong, cold, wooden fingers close around her neck. She struggles to breath and tries to fight as the life slowly drains out of her. Her struggles grow weaker and then my favorite part. Silence.

 

[trustyside-kick]

Approved.

I will be updating the rosters today before work, but just so you know if the pictures you chose on your app do not come out clear on the roster I will change it. Because some pictures work well at its default resolution, but when in context with the roster picture sometimes they don't.

 

[trustyside-kick]

Rosters updated:

- Removed Electro UK as Jim Gordon
- Removed Optikal as John Stewart
- Changed Watchman as Prometheus from a WTL Batman since he was revealed a while ago.
- Added Temple Fugate as Swamp Thing & Floronic Man

Did not remove Harlekin as The Spectre because he said he was going to get like one post up to conclude his stuff not too long ago.

 

[wiegeabo]

This take-charge trusty is getting me a bit worked up.

 

[Temple Fugate]

oh damn. I love that floronic man picture too . btw THANKS FOR APPROVAL . Is there any kind of editing I can do to the picture to make it work or is it a lost hope?

 

[trustyside-kick]

Got my old job back, it's summer, and to reward me my girlfriend bought a certain...outfit for a certain...event. Things are just going great again.

oh damn. I love that floronic man picture too . btw THANKS FOR APPROVAL . Is there any kind of editing I can do to the picture to make it work or is it a lost hope?

I can toy around with it on photoshop tonight after work.

Also, I will be adding in and editing some of the RPG Wiki pages in a few moments.

 

[The Mighty Thor]

What's up with Lex Luthor in this RPG?

 

[trustyside-kick]

He's no longer the President of the United States and pretty much is thought to be dead. But he remains in an underground secret LexCorp facility much like the first Donner Superman film. Last thing he did I believe is recruit Silver Banshee for some job.

I believe that's where the last poster left off about 2 months ago.

 

[trustyside-kick]

Just going to post and link two of the new pages I added to the Superherohype! RPG Wiki since Temple Fugate is a new member to the World of Heroes: DC RPG and wouldn't know about it. But there are more pages that were added and linked to the DC Character Page.

Swamp Thing
Floronic Man

Swamp Thing
Floronic Man

very interesting. Hopefully I will start the two characters off with something good .

 

[trustyside-kick]

Just realized I still have SuperFerret as Martian Manhunter on the roster. Will make that edit tonight when I try to make the desired picture of Floronic Man work better.

 

[Temple Fugate]

I think I might start an arc with Woodrue at Arkham soon.

 

[Karem-Knight]

Rosters updated:

- Removed Electro UK as Jim Gordon

Oh, I'm not good enough for you picture filled roster!? Well **** you Trusty!









Please add me in.

 

[trustyside-kick]

Sorry, overlooked thinking I already had you down there as Sodam. Will edit later today.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Just realized I still have SuperFerret as Martian Manhunter on the roster. Will make that edit tonight when I try to make the desired picture of Floronic Man work better.

Leave him on. I think Martian Manhunter should just be left on retainer for whenever SuperFerret decides to come back. He's the only guy who ever uses him, and he plays him well. t:

 

[trustyside-kick]

I already edited the JLA roster though last night.

 

[Temple Fugate]

this whole RPG thing is a lot more work then i expected.

 

[trustyside-kick]

How so?

 

[Temple Fugate]

How so?

im not used to having to be creative and use grammar. This is just a lot more involving then I expecting. Actually requires some effort. :P

 

[trustyside-kick]

Lol. Personally, except for the obvious pains in the butt when it comes to grammar, I don't worry too much about certain punctuations. Way I see it, if there are a few noticeable grammaratical it doesn't matter to me so long as the content is enjoyable to read.

Don't sweat it too much.

 

[Byrd Man]

Andy...I swear to god, if you do not post as Flamebird in the next 48 or 72 hours, then I am kicking you out of this RPG.

 

[trustyside-kick]

Lol.

 

[The Mighty Thor]

Screen Name: The Mighty Thor

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) If you copy/paste this information from another website, link back to it, or it is considered plagiarism and is not allowed. : The Question, also known as Victor "Charlie" Szasz, is a keen detective with a sharp analytical mind. This is backed up by a diverse range of martial arts skills and a set of quirky characteristics that make him seem a bit eccentric.

Group your character is aligned with (if applicable): None at the moment.

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 been reading 52 lately and have become a big fan of Charlie. His relationship with Renee Montoya, in particular, is fantastic, so I'd like to explore that in a different way to the one seen in the comics.

Do you have an Instant Messenger? Which one, and what is your screen name?: Nope.

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):

​

I must admit that sometimes, my fascination on certain things - people, places, subjects - can become a little more. The word obsession has been bandied about, but I wouldn't go that far. I'd say it's more like focused interest. Case in point: my current object of surveillance, Renee Maria Montoya. Born on the seventeenth of October. Twenty-eight years of age. At detective rank as part of the GCPD's Major Crimes Unit. Formerly partnered with Harvey Bullock, currently with Crispus Allen. She smokes roughly ten Marlboro cigarettes per day and has a taste for dark Jamaican rum.

And she uses Colgate toothpaste.

See, some would say it's odd that I know all this (or that I've been watching her in the first place). I just call it attention to detail. I've been keeping an eye on her for the past two weeks, it'd be weird if I didn't know what brand of toothpaste she uses. Anyway. I'm moving away from the point. The reason I'm observing Detective Montoya is not only because she's an intriguing young woman - and make no mistake about it, she certainly is - but because I've stumbled across her name in several places that it shouldn't be.

This seemingly normal cop from Gotham City has found her way into the crosshairs of some of the most notorious assassins in the world. Last month, I hit a Kobra station in Detroit and found them deploying troops to kill Miss Montoya in order to collect on a massive bounty. A little extracurricular research and she has some big names on her case; rumour is that even Deathstroke is heading down to Gotham to pick up on the money. I've managed to subdue a couple of small timers that have made their move without drawing her attention. It's a temporary measure at best - once the big names start popping up, I'm not going to be taking them out quietly.

Which is why this is my last hour of non-interventionist surveillance. I wanted to spy on her surreptitiously to see if I could learn exactly why she's being hunted, but I've had no luck. And -- wait. Movement, on the other rooftop opposite her apartment.

From my vantage point in the shadows, I snap my binoculars up from the sight of Montoya gazing mindlessly at the TV to the source of the shift I had picked up. In an instant, my worst fear is confirmed: David Cain, the David Cain, has a sniper rifle locked onto her head. In a few more seconds, she'll be dead...unless I act. Instinctively, I reach down to my belt buckle and hit the concealed trigger. There's a hiss of escaping gas and I feel my psuedoderm mask bind to my face.

"Time to go to work."
