So...

When did everyone start rping, where and who was your first character? Mine was on a browser game that also had forum rp going on. I was a Jaffa called Tul'ak I think his name was

I gotta be honest: I don't much care for any of these attempts to deepen the lore of the symbiotes. I think that Venom (the symbiote) works just fine as a parasitic organism that just happened to hitch a ride on a prominent Earth mutate. Everything else has hit me the wrong way, although I prefer the new new retcon over Bendis' take.

The Thor: God of Thunder bit feels entirely tacked on, and the symbiote "dragon" is fine -- Thor's fought all kinds of crazy shit -- but having it be on Earth and have been with SHIELD secretly is just meeeeeeeeeeeh.

TIL I'm older than Bruce. Not sure how to feel about that.

I started off on Superhero Hype in 2003 as a member, then joined the game "World Of Heroes: The DC Universe RPG" as Nightwing in it's second season. I was 13 or 14 at the time. Then around 2008, I played Batman for the first time by... starting my own game with the very first Ultimate DC game after lobbying hard to play Batman in World Of Heroes, much to the chagrin of the player who actually played him. My first run wasn't very good at all, so when UDC rebooted a few years later, I really made the character my own. Then, years later, when that player disappeared and Batman became vacant in World Of Heroes, I got my shot and immediately blew it by being a lazy piece of shit.

So, lesson learned. If you think you want something and obsess over it too long, maybe try sticking with what you've got instead. Because you might just screw up what you originally wanted all along, if given the chance.

This is why I've stopped wanting to play Nightwing as of late, I used to obsess over playing the character because he's my favourite. But at the end of the day, I usually post as him three times and then disappear in the middle of the night.

That's a lot of bitches.

Sure, I'll hide this, I guess. [+]

Yay. I love when writers force into the narrative the whole "oh, that cool thing we only recently came up with? Yeah, these characters were doing that decades beforehand despite past stories contradicting this." Doesn't end up horribly done ever.

I played Batman for a single post? Or was it just an application? Or all a fever dream? I just remember stepping in (or wanting to step in) because MB finally stepped down, and I knew there'd be no other chance.

And sure enough, there hasn't been...

Regardless, it still tends to be one of my favorite Nightwings to read.

And then I took over for you and you nitpicked the shit out of it....
