Fuck.

Yes, yes it was :P

I'm still waiting for that Blue Beetle reply.

“Well,” Booster said with a smile. “In the interest of fairness.”

From the corner of his eye he could see the Labrador puppy leaping up at Skeets playfully and the robot’s discomfort with it couldn’t be more obvious. Skeets definitely wasn’t going to like what Booster was going to do next, but what the hell? He pulled his mask down anyway.

“Sir, Master Hunter specifically advised against revealing your identity to people in this time period.”

Rip had warned him that revealing his identity might result in his enemies attacking Daniel Carter in an attempt to get to him. But as far as Booster could see, Rip’s rules had gone out of the window the second they’d arrived five years later than they’d planned. All that mattered now was getting home.

“My name’s Michael Carter and this is Skeets,” Booster said as he shook Ted’s hand. “As crazy as this might sound, we travelled here from the twenty-fifth century in something called a Time Sphere. Problem being we arrived five years later than we were meant to and the last time we saw the guy that sent us here he was under attack. We need to get to the twenty-fifth century and to do that we need to fix the Sphere.”

The gravity of Booster’s tale was undermined somewhat by the jubilant barks emanating from the Labrador puppy as it chased Skeets around Ted Kord’s base.

“That’s where you come in Ted,” Michael said as he placed his hands on his hips. “At least, if you’ll help us that is.”

I thought I'd let people know I've found a character I'm happy with. I'm going to open up the Mysticism side of things with either a version of the Damien Dahrk adaptation similar to that from (Arrow) though not tied to Green Arrow unless said player so wishes it or go with a classic and go Constantine.

Ooh! I was hoping to explore some of the mystical stuff with Captain Marvel seeing as he's the champion of one of the most powerful wizards around and all! Though I'm not sure how a Constantine/Cap or Cap/Damien team up would go except for hilariously, horribly or both XD

All of which means I'll be watching with interest.

I finished reading through everything. If no one else is going for it, I'd like to take on Tim Drake's Robin.

But there is one thing that caught my eye. It's not too important but I may as well bring it up.

I'm not sure how much freedom we have to change the original storylines, but I just figured I'd point out this tiny detail that seems weird. Tim was able to figure out the identities of the original Robin (Dick Grayson) and Batman when he was 9 years old. Tim was a fan of Dick Grayson back when Grayson was an acrobat, and was there in the audience as a toddler when Grayson's family was shot. Later, when Grayson became the first Robin, Tim saw Robin on TV through news coverage. More importantly, Tim saw Robin perform a unique acrobatic move that Grayson had done, and no one outside of the Grayson acrobatic family had been able to perform that move. With this information, he deduced that Grayson was Robin, and noticed that Grayson had been taken in as the ward of Bruce Wayne, which gave him Batman's identity as well.

Here's the part that might cause trouble. The Batman sheet that HenryJonesJr put up says that Batman first took the original robin out during 2011. This means the earliest that Tim could have deduced the identities of Bruce and Dick was 2011. Tim is supposed to be 9 at the time he does this, meaning that by 2015 he would be 13 years old.

This actually checks out. According to the DC story, at this age he helped Batman and Nightwing break free from Two Face (who had captured both of them). With the help of Alfred, he rescued Batman and Nightwing, and was later trained by both of them. His training took "several months", so he was likely done sometime in 2015.

So, if this RP takes place at the end of 2015, Tim Drake will be 14 (his birthday is in July). I don't have any problem with that, but I just thought I'd point it out. My main concern is that if Drake's 14 at the time of this RP, it might leave him "glued" to Batman.

Anyway, that's all for now. It might seem like I'm nitpicking, but I'm only doing this to be safe (don't know how far we're allowed to bend the stories of the existing characters).

If I understand this correctly, we're allowed to play as heroes, villains and anything in between? The line "You may choose any character appearing in DC Comics." does seem to make it clear, but I'd figure I'd ask anyway considering I've never been part of one of these RP's and all the applications so far, unless I've missed something, have been for heroes.

Given that I'm asking, I guess it's evident that I'm thinking about writing an app for something other than a straight up hero.

I guess the potential problem I'm trying to point out is that you run the risk of making large numbers of characters beholden to the whims of a single player. What if you have someone playing Batman that doesn't post very often but has plans for Killer Croc four months down the line? Should they take precedent over someone that comes along that desperately wants to play Killer Croc and will post three times a week?

In that instance I'd sooner have more players, even if it results in differences of opinion in terms of direction, than fewer players. After all, this isn't fan-fiction. Interaction is kind of the point.

Well... Dahrk it'd be more of a Versus rather than a team up :P

I was planning on using Blockbuster in Blüdhaven but I could as easily replace him with Black Mask if no one has plans for him. In fact, Black Mask is probably a better fit.

That's from a post from four years ago. Use old Blockbuster if you see fit.

<Snipped quote by Byrd Man>

It's cool, I'm far from enamoured with the character, I'd like to try my hand at turning some E-list villain into a real threat instead. The only reason I went with Blockbuster was out of some reverence to the source material.

But to coin a phrase: fuck the source material, we'll do it live.

EDIT: I've since seen that Black Mask plays quite a role in Henry's Gotham application. I'll work something out that doesn't involve either.
