I'm gonna allow Cole. He fits in well.

Sloth, did you ever finish The Killer's CS?

Also, I lost my CS. So I'll be writing it again

HenryJonesJr said Sloth, did you ever finish The Killer's CS?


Nope, I think I lost the creative spark for him once I tried to think up a storyline for him to get into that wouldn't involve The Fraternity in some way outside of getting hired by Cobra or something. That or the Snake Eyes concept assumed direct control of my writing time. I like to tell myself it's more-so the latter.

(That and there seems to be a lot of assassin esque characters running around nowadays.)

I won't say me finishing him is impossible. I'll see if I can get the ball restarted on him this weekend.

Also, I'm digging Bigby, hope to seem him get involved in some shenanigans with Buffy or Hellboy or what have you.

Though the fact that Peter Pan isn't his deputy saddens me greatly.

Lara Croft has a comic series by Dark Horse; it's picking up where the reboot left off, and She's had several in the past! It counts! But I am going for a more Post-reboot lara. IE she's much more like Oliver Queen now than she used to be, if you've played the game. I mean, yeah she does use guns but for the majority of the game she uses Mr. Queen's weapon of choice-The Bow. Honestly, if DC owned Lara, her reboot game would open up like this: My name is Oli-I mean Lara Croft. For an unclear amount of time, I was stranded on a hellish island. I have come home to London with only one goal: To understand the link between myth, and truth. But to do so, I can't be the innocent college grad I once was. To do so, I must be someone else. I must be....Something else.

Proof: and for the current iteration by dark horse and written by, Gail Simone:

Funny, Lara Croft was one of the ones I was considering if I could post on a consistent basis. I think that's a lot of these games vice-- people doing too many characters at once. Be consistent with your ninja character first before going onward.

I am consistent with him. I still want Lara, however, and (My fictional character massive crush on her aside), I really think I can do her justice. I'm working on a CS, but I do intend to keep Storm Shadow at the forefront; Sloth and I have some major plans ahead for the ninja of the Arashikage.

Maybe this will help get me back in the swing of things.

Disclaimer: I spent several hours trying to talk myself out of this. This is probably going to get me banned from RPG. If it doesn't, it should. So I'm going on record now as saying I'm sorry to the many, many people I'm probably about to offend if this gets approved.

Independent Comics Universe RPG Character Sheet
Player Name: Bounce

Character: Huey Freeman (Aaron McGruder's The Boondocks)

Power and Abilities: As the founder of 23 radical leftist organizations, including the Black Revolutionary Organization or B.R.O., Africans Fighting Racism and Opression or A.F.R.O.,and the Black Radical Underground Heroes, or B.R.U.H., Huey Freeman is a ten-year old activist, revolutionary, and known domestic terrorist. He has no super powers. He has no alien technology. What he does have is an amazing gift for oration, a brilliant mind, keen wit, and skills in both Kendo and Jeet Kune Do that are above the norm for a ten year old inner city youth and have allowed Huey to spar with adults on equal footing in many cases.

Huey has demonstrated proclivities with both electrical engineering and chemistry. An avid reader, he has studied classical histories of many of the world's cultures and is known to speak Mandarin Chinese.

Alignment: Chaotic Good

Character Notes [Established Rogues, NPCs, etc]: Robert Jebediah "Grandad" Freeman, Riley Freeman (aka Escobar, aka Young Reezy, aka Louis Rich...), Tom DuBois, Sara DuBois, Jazmine DuBois, Hiro Otomo, Michael Caesar, Uncle Ruckus (no relation), Cindy McPhearson, Principal Williams, John Petto (all from the comic strip). If permitted, I may also borrow Bushido Brown, Ed Wuncler, and Colonel Stinkmeiner from the television series.

Background and Story So Far: I am not a prophet. I'm just a kid from the streets of Chicago. Or, I was a kid from the streets... until my grandad got custody of me and my brother, then brought us out to Woodcrest, Maryland. I don't know what he sees about this place or why he would want to retire here. It's like the junction of White America and Upper Middle Class. The kind of place where everybody wants to show off the money they want you to think they have, while mounting up debt and backstabbing each other with gossip.

In this kind of environment the life of a black, vigilante superhero is not for the faint of heart.

To start with, everything the government has told you has been a lie. Reaganomics, affirmative action, 9/11... But this didn't start with America. People have been doing this since the beginning of civilization. It all boils down to the need to control society. The Crusades were nothing more than an avenue by which nobles, placed in fear by the number of former soldiers crowding their cities, could conveniently get rid of a perceived threat to security while potentially increasing their territory. Need more convincing? If the goal was to re-take the Holy Land, then why did the Crusaders sack Constantinople -- a Christian city? Everything you think you know is smoke and illusion, the convenient application of iconic imagery and censorship to achieve systematic control of thought and belief.

Let that sink in.

You know what? The truth hurts. Not the pretty truth. The truth that makes people angry. Angry enough to get up and do something about it. I'm not sure that kind of truth even exists anymore. And even if it does, can you imagine the response? The truth is that the world is a hard and lonely place, and no one gets anything for free. And you know what else? One day, you and everyone you care about is going to die. Go ahead. Take the blue pill. Go back to your Real Housewives of DC or getting force-fed whatever tripe they're serving up on The Doctors in the guise of news. The sanctuary of your ignorance, the bastion of societal apathy, the buttress of cultural myopia is the very foundation of the white elitist power structure that claims responsibility for all of Western civilization without having done a damn thing besides riding on the backs of working class people.

That is the foundation that I have come here to destroy.

Sample Post (At least 3 well thought out paragraphs as well as some dialogue):

I'm staring down the barrel of a .45.

Ask me anything about the gun. Every scratch, every nick in the brushed metal finish is burning itself into the back of my eyes. I want to take a step back, but he's shouting at me not to move. Move? I'm too afraid to breathe right now.

And why? Why am I afraid? I'm an unarmed, black, ten year old kid who has done nothing wrong. If we look at this situation objectively, there's no reason to be afraid. The gun is unnecessary in this situation. There's no reason for the cop to pull the trigger.

...who do I think I'm kidding?

The cop behind the gun is trembling. He's shaking so badly that I can't keep my eyes focused on the gun any longer. It's moving too much. He's a greasy faced, red headed, whitebread patrolman who probably spent his whole life in Woodcrest. He's totally going to pull the trigger. Why? Because I'm the first black youth he's seen that hasn't been on TV. Everything he thinks he knows about me he's gleaned from re-runs of Gangstalicious: Resurrection and YouTube videos of Kanye West's public spectacle at the MTV Music Video Awards. He's going to pull the trigger because the fear of not knowing what happens if he doesn't pull that trigger outweighs the fear of what happens if he does.

'Shooting while white' isn't a crime in or of itself. Getting shot while black? That's reasonable doubt. Why did the black kid get shot? Who needs facts to answer that question? Society has force fed people enough stories so the facts become less important. We can just fill those in. Gangs. Drugs. Gangs and drugs. Mix and match. You know you do it. You read the one paragraph news blurb in the paper about the black kid who got shot, then turn the page without batting an eye.

I'm about to become that black kid you read about. You'll spare a sentence about how the cop is on paid leave pending an investigation that will never be written about. No one will report on a story when everyone can conveniently contrive their own facts from skin color alone. You'll read my one paragraph story and then flip the page so you can check out when the premiere of Real Housewives of Topeka, Kansas airs.

So that leaves me just one choice. Do or do not. And the moment I realize what it is I'm about to do, is the moment when I realize: I'm in a nigga moment.

Man, how did it come to this?

I approve of this without even reading the sheet or the disclaimer.

Too bad Huey isn't going to somehow get into the same room as COBRA or something.

Huey Freeman vs. Snake Eyes vs. Storm Shadow vs. Bushido Brown.

You have to admit, that would be something. Toss in the Foot or the TMNT and it could be a Dragon Ball Z worthy world martial arts tournament.

I think the question is, how long until Uncle Ruckus shows up on the Joes?

I mean, if they'll take Dee-Jay and Captain Grid-Iron... they'll pretty much take anyone.

If it was anyone else, I'd probably say no. But it's Bounce, and I trust him to do this in as respectful a manner as possible.

*cough*

Approved. First Bigby post is up. I'm gonna work on the roster and the first post in this thread tomorrow as well as some posts, depending on whether I go see Godzilla or not.
