The "World's Finest" DC RPG Application


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

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, it will not be allowed: : Selina Kyle's background is one filled with a lot of pain and hate. Abuse, alcoholism, insanity; all three play key roles in how Selina grew up. When her parents both finally died, leaving her and her sister orphaned, Selina took to a life of petty theft in order to feed herself and help the poor and down-trodden. Eventally, she picked up a costume and began masquerading as Catwoman, living a life of moral ambiguity.

Group your character is aligned with (if applicable): None

Explain what you plan to do with the character you've chosen and why you've chosen this character: I just plan to play her and see where it goes. I think it would be a LOT of fun to play "opposite" Keys and to kind of flesh out Selina in my own unique way.

Do you have an Instant Messenger? Which one, and what is your screen name?: All of them, lol. And most of you have them!

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):

Silent. Stealthy. Unseen. Inch by inch I slide the window open. Patience is a skill you learn when you're constantly moving in and out of places, hoping not to be detected. At last the window's open enough for me to slip my way inside the dark house. The leather of my catsuit creaks and I pause, breath caught in my throat as my head cocks to the side, listening for the slightest of noises.

Content that I haven't disturbed who (or what) ever is in the house, I continue further in. My booted feet tread without sound across the carpeted living room, my eyes finally fully adjusted to the nearly non-existent light. I sneak my way through a hardwood dining room and into a small kitchenette. The light is on over the oven, a bold, bright bastion shining brightly in the deep darkness that surrounds it; reminds me a bit of the old Bat, if I do say so myself.

Sneaking down another carpeted hallway, I approach a slightly ajar door. Moonlight pours out from the large window across the room from the door, caressing the sleeping figure in the bed and spilling its overflow in a neat geometric shape on the hall floor. I push the door slowly open, grinning at the recently oiled hinges, and step noiselessly across the floor to stand over the sleeping figure.

"I know you're there, Selina."

Damn.

"Having pleasant dreams at least?" I ask nonchalantly, peeling the black cowl from my head and freeing the short, obsidian locks from its hold. I sit on the edge of the bed, pressed against Lola's thighs, and run my sharp fingernails over my scalp, finally shaking my head to loosen my hair from what can only be described as "hat hair".

"You know... Pleasant as ever." She grins up at me as she pushes herself into a sitting position, letting the covers slip from her scantily clad torso. "You know it's pointless trying to sneak in here, right? Somehow, I always know when you're coming."

The smirk that accompanies this last statement is almost sarcastic, tired. I want to give her a hug, comfort her, let her just be Lola for the night. More than anything, I'd like to just be Selina for a night too. But business is business.

Waving a hand dismissively, I push away her jest and the feelings it brings up. I level a steady gaze on Lola, capturing her icy eyes with my own emerald ones. The faintest of smiles pulls at one corner of my mouth. "Tell me what you know about the Yakuza."

Yep. Business as usual.

[trustyside-kick]

You trying to say something?

 

[Byrd Man]

Just that you're a credit to your race's stereotypes.

 

[trustyside-kick]

If anything I'm not because the stereotype is how hard-working my race is.

 

[Byrd Man]

Coming from the people who invented the "siesta"...yeah...

I really like the penciling, inking, and coloring style of that book. It's the main reason I picked up issue 2. The story is intriguing, and I was always one for "Bruce and Selina" but just saying...love the art.

Also, I'm thinking of doing a different type of roster to help this game feel more different/new. So not sure when I will have something cooked up.

 

[wiegeabo]

I'm actually fine with having a simple roster that any of us can edit and keep updated.

 

[Byrd Man]

But...the purrty pictures?

 

[Carnage27]

As much as I like the picture rosters, they always get woefully out of date because of the time it takes to update them.

 

[wiegeabo]

But...the purrty pictures?

Do you want to update them?


Do you want trusty to have all the power?

 

[Byrd Man]

Do you want to update them?


Do you want trusty to have all the power?

No to both!

 

[wiegeabo]

I knew if you searched your racist feelings, the answer would come to you.

 

[Byrd Man]

But my racist side also speaks out to me when it comes to having a minority doing all the work.

 

[wiegeabo]

A Southern man giving up his power without a fight?


Yeah, that'll happen.

 

[Lord]

When did you say the games was going to begin?

 

[Byrd Man]

IC thread just up today. But you don't have to wait for the IC thread to post an app.

 

[Lord]

I know, but i'm just going to read
The last time i played was in the One Universe: Independent edition RPG and i only made 2 posts

 

[SenseiofCheese]

Already planned out Nightwing's first case, and I'm psyched. IC thread! IC thread! IC thread! Byrd must be sacrificed to the Dark Lord!

 

[Shlee]

I can create a pictures roster... Though my thoughts were using the roster Batman made up and then just adding a 75x75 pixel picture based off the one chosen for the application to go above the name/character. If that makes sense.

 

[SenseiofCheese]

That's a pretty good idea. It allows for 'dem purrdy pictures, and is also easily editable.

 

[trustyside-kick]

You are limited to 8 pictures per post. That idea wouldn't work. What I was considering was incorporating both types of rosters, though. So that wieg and byrd can update the list roster IF I do slack this time around and then eventually the picture would be updated if that is the case. The list would be the primary to go by in that scenario. The picture is the back-up I'd do my best to update.
