[OOC] DC Universe REBIRTH [original DC inspired roleplay/universe]

[Bluetommy]

@Weird Tales Yes, you countered the arguments, people countered back. Yes, comic universes change, yes, Damian will probably be very different in five or so years, but that doesn't change the fact that right now he is among the most divisive characters in the canon.

Also, you "don't get" the Damian hate? Let me explain, some people have a dislike of certain character types, and no matter how much you argue against it, they're still going to dislike them. No matter how much you argue, you're ultimately powerless to change people's opinions. You shouldn't take personal offense to someone not liking a character you like, it's all opinions at the end of the day, and we all know the saying about them and a certain part of the human waste disposal system.

Now, can we stop this stupid argument and get back to RPing please?

@bluetommy2

I was just offering a defense since people piled on the hate. If we want to stop discussing this matter then people shouldn't offer their opinions on it otherwise it would just continue the discussion.

[Omega Man]

This would be like the 4th RP I've been in that was completely derailed by a Damian Wayne argument. Everybody got their opinions out there, which is all well and good, now let's move forward. DC Rebirth, what's everybody's plans? Batman's gonna start recruiting some of ya into his gang of heroes...

~KL~

[Burning Kitty]

Does Wayne Enterprise still exist? If so do they have a subsidiary in Charm City known as Wayne Security?

[Omega Man]

Nope, the fortune was all wealth acquired by two generations of doctors before Thomas became a vampire.

~KL~

[Burning Kitty]

What about Queen Industries? Or is it Queen Enterprises?

[Omega Man]

Queen Industries and Terrifitech [or just 'T Tech'] can still be a thing. We'll just say in this world the parents of Ollie are still the owners of Queen Industries and Mr. Terrific never became a superhero, he's just like a black Bill Gates.

@The Kid LanternI think Adam is going to try and get famous before he's finally put in jail lol. I also don't know who is going to put him in jail because the Gotham police don't stand a chance at the moment.

[Burning Kitty]

Terrifitech sounds like Mr. Terrific's arch nemesis.

Instead of Wayne Security in Charm City it will be Queen Security. They are a client of the lawfirm Bethany/Donald work for.

@The Kid LanternI think Adam is going to try and get famous before he's finally put in jail lol. I also don't know who is going to put him in jail because the Gotham police don't stand a chance at the moment.

@Holy Soldier

Vampire Batman might, Catwoman might, Hawk & Dove really wouldn't care it doesn't concern Charm City.

[TheUnknowable]

@Holy SoldierNow I'm imagining the people starting a "free booster gold" petition on the internet.

[Burning Kitty]

Wouldn't it be Gold Star? That is the name used in the viral video starring him.

Hawk & Dove would not sign a free petition, they would sign one to keep him locked up.

@The Kid Lantern What happens to a Starro victim if one were to get their fingers/claws under the Starro and rip it off?

[Omega Man]

@Burning Kitty If it hasn't connected to your spine or your face then it would rip it off. It'd be as ferocious as a spider though and has a mouth in the center on the bottom, a single eye on top.

~KL~

[Burning Kitty]

So not possible while in the middle of a fight to just rip it off a face.

I don't think of spiders as ferocious. I'll think tiger when writing the fight instead.

[Renny]

@The Kid Lantern Are you full?

I wanna re-imagine The Flash. Also I'm not quite as knowledgeable when it comes to the DC-Universe as most of you are I'm sure. Or of comic books in general. Mostly likely I'll stay out of the debates and arguments that spring up, probably won't say much at all in the OOC just to not look like an idiot lol. But I would like to join you guys if possible.

[Holy Soldier]

@TheUnknowable@Burning Kittylol If there is a petition, he's going to be like "Who the hell is Gold Star? How did they get my name wrong?!"

[TheUnknowable]

We just need to convince one Starro zombie to sign it and we'll get 127 million other signatures!

[Burning Kitty]

I wanna re-imagine The Flash.

@Renny

I thought about doing Flash but decided to go with something that I could make weird gender wise.

I'm curious as to how you will do it.

Found one Flash that used a motorcycle for superspeed in my research, that was weird but looked cumbersome in a fight, so I didn't dive into it.

@TheUnknowable

If there are that many Starros on Earth then I think our soon to be team may be a little outgunned. Just imagine if they all decided to attack our group at once, it would be a heroic massacre and not the good kind.

@Burning Kitty

When I said spiders I was mostly thinking about the size of the ones on peoples' spines, but ferocious in that they'd keep coming after you. A wasp or yellow jacket would've probably been a better analogy.

@Renny Go ahead and work up a CS, you don't really have to know anything about the DC universe. The characters we create only have to be similar in name only, you can completely rework any concept as you wish.

[Omega Man]

@cunfuzzler Do you care if I go ahead and let Batman drop in and mention putting a team together? Since you were looking around and leaving an opening of sorts? I know since it's a vampire Batman and a tech'ed out Catwoman the relationship would be quite different, but just having some sort of history is enough to start a convo between them... I can grab two of you [Catwoman and Booster] in Gotham and a couple in Metropolis once Bats gets there...

@The Kid Lantern

Sure, go for it, it would make sense that he would at least be acquainted with her.
