When you're 13 that's not childhood tho.

I'm only a couple of years older but I feel much older.

I was 16 or something when that show was on. I thought it had its moments but at the time I was too busy playing New Vegas and shit to watch cartoons.

No but there are these god-awful things known as teenagers.

Though I was 16 at the time so I was an adult, technically legally speaking.

Every thirteen year old I've ever known has more in common with the 10-12 range than the 14-18 range

C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T:


"I play with guns. I work with a knife."
"You're the boy-wonder-pain-in-my-ass."

I'm aiming for a buddy-cop angle much like the classic one we've come to expect out of this dysfunctional duo from the modern comics. However, in the spirit of this game I've adapted them to the constraints and possibilities of the game. Jason's story is mostly unchanged, I've made some altercations to sew together his Post-Crisis past with his New-52 one. Jason was Robin, got killed by Joker, resurrected in the Lazarus pit and swore his revenge on Joker, Batman and all of Gotham. He was sent to Arkham and spent a good few months killing inmates from the inside, till the crusaders of Gotham stopped him once more. Put into a supermax, Amanda Waller gave him an out and a hefty dose of epxerimental anti-psychotics. Jason is an anti-villain more so than he's a hero.

Roy Harper grew up in Star City with an abusive father and a woman who clung to victimhood. He was a lowlife and got into small-time crime in the Glades, but when prompted with the choice of causing real damage to another human being, Roy chose the path of a hero and stopped his formed friends from mugging the defenseless man. He left Star city as soon as he could, joining the military at the age of 17. He excelled as a marksman and by 20 had broken just about all records the American military had. He worked in Black Ops for a few years but soon got out, instead ending up working directly for Captain America following the battle in 2010. He's become one of Director Rogers star agents and one of the brightest field officers SHIELD has ever produced, even if his methods are unorthodox.

Roy and Jason are tasked with finding the missing Fury, and stop any bad guys they can while doing so. Roy acts like Jason's chaperone, and makes sure the undead Robin doesn't go ballistic yet again.


P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ):

Their nature is very nomadic, they could go anywhere and do anything, both of them are well established in the DC mythos, even if I've stripped Roy of his heroic past since there's no Green Arrow around. Nestling them into the SHIELD organization I think adds a lot of value to it as a faction, but allows them to do whatever I'd think would be fun. I think I could easily write a driving narrative with the boys, but for now I'd start out with them being roaming characters, nibbling away at their own corner of the universe until the time for interaction comes around.

C H A R A C T E R N O T E S:

Roy likes fighting with a bow and arrow still, even though he's a lot more fond of modern firearms in my iteration than in the comics. Roy's still got his technological know-how and is an engineering prodigy the likes of Bruce Wayne or Tony Stark, if he'd be given the resources and time to apply himself.
Jason is volatile and capable of great spurts of madness, he barely began his training with the All Caste, abandoning Ducra pretty much as soon as he could to get his revenge back home in Gotham. He terrorized the city for a long enough time to make The Red Hood a infamous name across the world.

So...

Everyone here is playing a character. What's your favourite portrayal of that character? What's your biggest influence?


I'm literally just flying by the seat of my pants with Raven. Outside of the TT-cartoon, I know just about nothing about her. So that'll be interesting. As for Ghost Rider, The Return Of Johnny Blaze is my biggest inspiration, reaching all the way through his 2006 run with titles like Heavens On Fire.

As for the reds, both hood and arrow Vol. 1 Of Outlaws is quite the big one. Comicstorian's DnD Campaign starring RH and Arsenal is also quite big, especially for Roy's idiot-side.

This is the first I've heard about this, is it easy to find and listen to online? And if so, is it an easy listen, or hours and hours of content like Critical Role?

Sent you the link to the show in the ol' DM's. I like it a lot more than CR. It's quite high energy and with fewer players it becomes a lot easier to follow.

I guess I'm just more of a Dimension 20 guy really. Nothing against Critical Role, as everything I've seen of it has been great, but there's no way i'm personally getting through 115 3-4 hour-long episodes.

I feel that.

I enjoy table top and assorted lore, but I could never get into Critical Role.




RP related, @Bork Lazer and I are scheming up a post.

I've enjoyed what I've read so far from everyone else!

Ooh that's a good one too!

This Red Hood and Arsenal one that Hillan recommended is already super good, which is making me really excited to see what he does with the concept.

Are there any characters, besides your own, that anyone here is excited to see play out?

I'd brought this up a bit in my CS, but I've honestly never been much of a fan of any canonical iteration of the Flash, so I don't have any particular run that I'm pulling from. There are two speedsters, however, that definitely inform the way I think of Barry (and of 'speedy' superheroes in general).

First is actually Byrd Man's take on the Flash way back in one of the original iterations of Ultimate DC, like a decade or so ago (God, we're old). Much as I've ragged on the guy in the past for gits and shiggles, he's fantastic at creating a certain tone and personalities to fit it, and his run as UDC Barry was enormous fun to read. One of my biggest regrets in our tenure gaming is that we never got to do that planned crossover between his Ultimate Flash and my All-Star Spider-Man, so I hope my take on the Scarlet Speedster does justice to the fun and excitement that his run did way back in the day.

Second is, err....it's, well.....Sonicthehedgehog I know, I know, shut up. It was the first comic I ever collected month to month, and while the character at large has devolved into some weird postmodern meme-fueled nightmare thanks to a horrifying fanbase and a slew of mediocre games, Sonic has always been a fantastic character in the comics (apart from that one really weird stretch where Ken Penders was just throwing around new characters and got hyper-focused on dating drama). Basically anything written by Ian Flynn, from the latter days of the Archie run to the current stuff in IDW, is how I picture a prototypical speedster character should act: cocky, a bit mischievous, excitable, but always the first to jump into action when the day needs saving.

Sprinkle on a bit of Josh Keaton's Peter Parker from the Spectacular Spider-Man cartoon, particularly when it comes to the whole "heroic responsibilities vs regular life mishaps" element, and David Tennant's Doctor for "I'm making this up as I go, but I'm brilliant at it," stir until well-mixed, and bake at 400° for 25-30 minutes, and you've got my recipe for the Flash.

I think if I tried to just watch Critical Role I would probably be similar and not really be able to make it through everything. But I tend to listen to it while doing other things even if its like I am studying during the semester or something, or playing a game or even just going on a walk or exercising. I also try my best not to think about just how much stuff there is and just try to enjoy it as it comes.
