[OOC] Absolute Comics - Season Two: The Monster Within

[Master Bruce]

Starfire's already a character in the game, a member of @Retired's Titans. I'd say Midnighter is your better bet.

[Dead Cruiser]

I must have missed that skimming over the character list. Jeeze, someone claimed all of the Titans? I thought there was a 1-2 character limit.

Actually I was basically planning to play Ryand'r so it shouldn't be a big deal. Could join the Guardians as a stand-in for the Omega Men.

@Dead Cruiser

Well not exactly, it's an original Titans Team. We allow for Team Apps provided the team in question is reasonable and the concept requires the team versus simply putting characters together for convenience. For example, the X-Men, Fantastic Four and Guardians of the Galaxy are all perfectly acceptable Team concepts but applying as the Justice League wouldn't fly.

[Dead Cruiser]

@Lord Wraith Okay, so a limit of 1-2 "headliners" as it were. So I could theoretically play Midnighter & Apollo if I felt so inclined.

Did you have a preference between Midnighter and Darkfire before I start on an app?

@Dead Cruiser

As Ryand'r is a brother of Koriand'r, you'd need to talk to @Retired before proceeding with that application.

But yes, you could app as Midnighter & Apollo.

[Retired]

Jeeze, someone claimed all of the Titans?

@Dead Cruiser

Yes. I am amazing.

And, sorry to say, but all of Starfire's family, gender-bent or not, would be off-limits.

[Lord Wraith]

@Retired

I don't know how anyone can stand it in here with all the hot air you blow.

[Hound55]

Ryand'r wouldn't be gender bent. You might be thinking of Komand'r.

@Lord Wraith

All I see is you admitting I am hot.

Ryand'r wouldn't be gender bent. You might be thinking of Komand'r.

@Hound55

Correct, but they expressed interest in gender-bending Starfire the previous page. So was preemptively shutting down other versions of her family being gender-bent.

[Dead Cruiser]

Blech. Midnighter it is then. Apollo may follow after some manner of resolution to the former's storyline.

[Stein]

Oof. I see bitches encroaching in some areas and the interest is picking back. Yas, the heterosexual sacrificial offerings I've made seem to be working.

But for business stuff:

@Lord Wraith and other GM--oh wait. heh.

Anyway. For this next season, as I'm starting to integrate more regularly into the RP, I was looking at tucking a few characters under my NPC belt.

Would I be able to bring in the Planetary Team (Jakita, Snow and The Drummer, Ambrose, etc.) to my NPC bank?

[Lord Wraith]

@Stein I'm not overly familiar with the characters but should be fine. I can't see that stepping in anyone's toes.

[NinaDivine]

@Lord Wraith
Seeing that the game will have Martian Manhunter, the Hulk, Thor, a returning Wonder Woman, a returning yet probably reinterpreted Supergirl, a possibly Russian Zod, and perhaps Apollo I've decided not to go with Shazam.

If @DocTachyon had no problem or plans for her I was thinking of maybe going with Silk. Of course, I would change her origin so she wasn't directly linked to Spider-Man, and most likely move her out of New York.

If Silk doesn't work out then I don't know.
Kate Bishop or Helena Bertinelli as the Huntress? Doctor Spectrum as he appears in Supreme Power? Joker from the Tangent Universe (with a different name)? The Creeper? ...Doop?

@NinaDivine

Doc is on holidays until August 4, so he might not get back to you before then.

[Hound55]

He HAS popped in and out... but yes. Can't be sure he'll answer. Still, season 2 is a little ways off and he should only be a few days at the worst case scenario, @NinaDivine. Should have an answer soonish.

Finally got my S2 updated Daredevil sheet finished, Jesus I put that off so much.

^{"I am what I do in the dark now."}

Matthew has crossed into uncharted territory, edging closer to his inner demons than he ever has done before. He killed Wilson Fisk in cold blood, pushed beyond limits he didn't even know he had by his archnemesis. His identity is out and making waves both locally and world-wide, and he has become a polarizing figure to his personal friends and the wider public, and even to himself. He is shaken by this new, vicious side to himself, but determined not to let it rule him. He is more careful than ever to become the trusted, heroic protector of Hell's Kitchen, but knows that the Devil steps with heavier treads than ever before.

C H A R A C T E R M O T I V A T I O N S & G O A L S:

---

Matthew Murdock is a fugitive and a murderer, who killed Fisk in a brutal moment of cold blood. Public opinion flits back and forth - no one misses Fisk, but many fear what will succeed him. DareDevil is all Matt has left; his civilian identity has been ruined, another disastrous consequence of his recklessness. Matt is ashamed and in fear of his soul, seeking recompense and redemption. And now, with Fisk's dam shattered, a multitude of threats invade the city, threatening to pose a danger to Matt's city far more destructive than Kingpin.

Matt's going to be busy.

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

---

Matthew's allies include Franklin 'Foggy' Nelson and Karen Page - both seeking shelter from Fisk's crumbling empire out-of-state - and Stick and his organisation known as The Chaste, although Stick has insisted that DareDevil's refusal to join their clan has cut him off from their support. Katherine Spencer, New York's District Attorney and Matthew's ex-colleague, has also disavowed herself from Matthew after his public reveal as DareDevil.

Wilson Fisk, AKA Kingpin, DareDevil's archnemesis, is dead, but a new organisation known as The Hand seems to be capitalizing on the power vacuum left in his wake, and there are free agents and mercs pouring in now that Fisk is gone and no longer able to keep them out.

S E A S O N O N E S Y N O P S I S:

---

Murdock's one-man assault on Fisk's kingdom ended in bittersweet, perhaps even pyrrhic, victory against the Kingpin. Elektra, Matthew's lover, had been an agent of The Hand, and had sold Matthew's civilian identity to Fisk, who used it to frame Murdock, then Assistant District Attorney, for bribery and drug trafficking. Murdock was forced to resign, as well as send his only friends and allies - Franklin 'Foggy' Nelson and Karen Page - out of the state to escape Fisk. Murdock launched a rampage on Fisk's operations until he was lured into a trap, beaten and poisoned by Elektra, and then kidnapped to Times Square by Fisk for a public showdown and execution - but DareDevil turned the tables, and killed Kingpin - but not before his true identity was revealed to the world, changing Matthew's life forever. He blacked out, thinking this was the end, but was somehow rescued by Stick and the Chaste. Stick attempted to recruit Matthew into the Chaste - but DareDevil refused, choosing instead to walk the path he had carved out for himself.

UPDATE: I have most of my Zod sheet finished I'm just writing the sample and I'll have the sheet up ASAP

[role model]

I am working on the Angel, Warren Worthington III. I'm trying to make the sample post, but I'm having trouble making it comedy and drama. But, I'll deliver. Whether you like it or not, I do not know.

[Retired]

New post is up, finally. Apologies for the considerably massive delays. To make Byrd happy, there will be no excuses. I am simply a major asshole.

I'll aim for the next to not be so late.

[Natty]

Finally got around to writing up my S2 sheet. Let me know what you think; have added a few more potential characters too.

^{"For many years a man named Belasco tried to bury me. But I demanded to grow."}

Raised and tortured as a child in the hellscape of Limbo by the demonic Sorceror Belasco, Illyana Rasputina finally found a home with the Sorceror Supreme, Doctor Stephen Strange. Becoming his ward, she turned her Soul Sword into a staff and sought to change her ways.

However, her torture continued to haunt her, and as such, she decided to finally get revenge once and for all. To do so, she sought to form a group of fellow members of the magical community in order to assist her in her quest. In doing so, she found herself pushed to her limits, encountering a number of foes, both new and old. The news of Belasco finding himself a new "Apprentice" rocked her to her core, leading her to finally redraw her sword once more.

C H A R A C T E R M O T I V A T I O N S & G O A L S:

---

After discovering from the Demons Three that Belasco has a new prison in Limbo, Illyana is now motivated more than ever to make her way back into that hellscape and take him out once and for all. She also finds herself battling to control the anger and pain that churns inside her, brought into being in the form of her Soul Sword. She is take strikes to fight in two battles; one physically, and one mentally.
