[OOC] The Outsiders (DC comics based OC Superhero RP)

[Razqua]

Did I miss something or where was it specified that Jack has a laser eye? Because I was pretty sure Sam for the most part was creating a new RFG not just rehashing the one from JL Doom or any other animation.

@Lord Wraith

Well he didn't say anything specific about Jack so I had to work with what I knew about Jack. Did Tamashi even hear Adam give them his plan?

@The Patriarch

sorry I guess that part slipped my mind. when I was reading over it. I guess we could say Tamashi was offering an alternative idea. If you like I could edit the post and remove that part.

[An Outsider]

@The Patriarch - Thats ok, its an easy edit for you to change laser eyes to knife hands. Here's a foes. It's also worth mentioning that each member has the iconic 'playing card', a large, hoverboard in the shape of a playing card that allows them to fly. Seeing as the setting is slightly futuristic these cards are completely collapsible, folding down to the size of a regular playing card when they're not being used.

King of Spades

Name - Unknown at this time Alias - The King of Spades Age- Unknown at this time Powers - Seems to be merely human, but if that is the case then he is challenging all the pre-conceived notions of what being ‘merely human’ can achieve. His strength, endurance and speed all border super human. Displays evidence of militarty training, being an expert marksman, adept with explosives and a superlative tactician. He is also an expert hand to hand fighter, employing a style of combat that incorporates boxing, krav maga, keysi fighting method and good ol’ fashioned street fighting. Weaknesses - Due to the mystery surrounding him his weaknesses are unknown, though evidence suggests that he may be merely human. Appearance - Wears this mask with this symbol painted upon the brow His armour has a muted red, dull brass and smoke white colour scheme. Weapons - High powered assault rifle, high powered revolver, 45 calibre Colt M1911A1 automatic pistol. Military combat knife. Numerous explosive grenades, flashbangs and smoke grenades. Notes - Indisputably the leader of the Royal Flush Gang, surveillance footage and eye witness testimonies revealing that he has welded the extreme and disparate personalities of his fellow gang members into a cohesive military unit. If not for him then they would almost certainly not have been as successful as they have been. Picture him like this universes version of the Punisher.

Queen of Spades

Name- Elizabeth 'Lizzie' Monahue Alias- The Queen of Spades Powers- Wields the Sceptre Royal, a tool that allows her to create realistic illusions. Weaknesses- Dislikes having to use physical force. Poor combat skills. Conceited. Weapons- The Sceptre Royal, allows her to create realistic illusions that fools the senses of her foes. It can also fire beams of concentrated concussive force, though she is hesitant to use this. Appearance- Wears this dress, though the black and red will be color swapped. The hearts would be spades. She would also wear high red gloves and tights, with this mask. Notes- Lizzie Monahue was once a woman engaged to the son of a wealthy oil tycoon. However her fiance was killed in one of the Jokers crazed schemes. Lizzie's in-laws wanted little to do with her anymore, and she was forced to take care of herself. With few skills or career oppurtunitys, and no close familly of her own, she had to take work at a strip club, her stripper identity being the Queen of Hearts. One year ago she dissapeared, suspicions now being that she was recruited by the King of Spades to become his new Queen. She displays extreme loyalty to King, though little more than disdain for her other team mates.

Ace of Spades

Name- N/A Alias- The Ace of Spades Powers- Super Strength, durability and speed. Being an android he feels no pain or emotion. Completely loyal to King. Weaknesses- Has no inititive of his own. No ranged capabilites, other than throwing stuff. Appearance- Exactly this, save he has a blank face (Think the Ace from Batman Beyond DCAU) Weapons- N/A Notes- The only surviving member of the second Royal Flush Gang, though it appears he's been completely reprogrammed since his first appearances to now be absolutely loyal to the new King. Other than that there is very little of interest to the android, other than his incredible strength and toughness. This guy has gone blow for blow with Superman, so don't underestimate him.

Jack of Spades

Name- David Magnus Jr, Davey Alias- The Jack of Spades Powers- Appears to be a man made of liquid alien metal. He can morph his body for a variety of uses, such as changing his shape and appearance, or forming basic weapons such as knifes, hammers and axes. Weaknesses- Suffers from bipolar disorder, which he must takes medication for. It impairs his judgement. Extreme heat may be able to melt him, and extreme cold may be able to make him brittle. Also the most likely member of the gang to challenge King's leadership Appearance- Like this while wearing this t-shirt. Weapons- None, though he can morph parts of his body into simple weapons. Notes- The son of David Magnus, making David Jr the nephew of Will Magnus, who created the Metal Men. Davey and Magnus have never met each other, due to a falling out between David senior and his brother. Despite this Davey has abilities remarkably similar to the Metal Men, though how this has come to be is a mystery. Picture him like the T-1000 from Terminator 2.

Ten of Spades

Name- Dakota Jamieson Alias- Ten of Spades Powers- Super speed, and all that entails. When she activates her powers her body is enveloped in a skin tight invisible aura that protects her from friction and wind shear. She is essentially invincible while running. Weaknesses- Dakota is deep thinker. While her powers would benefit from someone who makes snap decsions she instead spends her time pondering the effects her actions might take. She's unskilled in the use of her powers, often running into things that she should be able to avoid, and terrible at stopping. She isn't entirely sure she agrees with the RFG's mission. Weapons- None Appearance- This, though her house is spades, not clubs. Notes- Dakota Jamieson is a young Native American, a former agent of A.R.G.U.S who befriended Johnny Chambers A.K.A Johnny Quick. After Johnny was killed in battle against a villain he had already apprehended twice in the past Dakota realised the flaw in the 'revolving door' policys of the American justice system. Taking Johnny's formula for super speed she became a vigilante, killing several small time crooks. She was then recruited by King. However she is starting to have second thoughts about her new hardline principles, her faith in the RFG's cause wavering.

Considering making a page to keep all this relevant data so I don't end up losing it!

[Divine Darkness]

Would indeed be a good idea to place all important, and possible reoccurring, NPCs in the Character thread.

[The Patriarch]

edited my post, after reading through the powers of the Royal Flush gang, Jack and Ace still seem like they could be the most dangerous in terms of power

[Lord Wraith]

On a completely different note, did to you guys hear that DC has officially made the Joker immortal? Apparently he has the radiation which made Vandal Savage immortal and fuels the Lazarus Pits within his blood. It only activates from extreme injuries explaining why he always comes back.

@Lord Wraith

I don't really follow comics but that's pretty cool.

@Lord Wraith

I've been reading Endgame, I'm pretty sure it's a red herring, there's been a lot to suggest that Endgame isn't in continuity and that it could be a hallucination or alternate dimension.

@Lord Wraith

All I have is a flat what. That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Sure, I knew there was 'Joker immunity', but making him officially immortal is just too much.

@BlackSam3091

hay why does it matter? Captain America is black, Thor is a woman and many other changes have been made to comic book continuity, it can always be changed back

[An Outsider]

Because that's the kind of shit that's going to stick. The only way this particular change will ever change back is if they actually kill off Joker. . . which will never happen. Look, don't get me wrong, I know he was immortal before. DC would never have killed him off, it would just be bad business for them. That said, his previous immortality was an unspoken one. Before, whenever Joker looked like he had died the reader always knew that he hadn't. There just can't be a Batman without a Joker, just like there can't be a Superman without Lex Luthor, or a Captain America without a Red Skull. The characters are so entwined that they've essentially become the same entity. But at least they're was still the chance that he MIGHT have died. Now that sort of suspense a moment like that once would have held is gone forever. Saying he's actually immortal, that the Clown Prince of Crime who terrify's both heroes and villains alike, and used to do it with no more than a few knives and a pocket full of lint, is now super-powered? I dunno, it feels like a kick in the teeth me. Villains used to tell Joker stories around camp fires for petes sake! He was their version of the bogey man! Saying he's immortal diminishes him and his accomplishments, and in the process also diminishes Batman. On top of that it robs Bat's of one of his big moral quandaries, namely why he has never killed the Joker. Before this Joker was the one villain who was most likely to challenge Batman's iron moral code. Sure its easy to stick to a "shall not kill rule" when your dealing with small time crooks, sultry cat burglars, or even the likes of Two-Face or Riddler. Those two are bad, sure, but their hardly the irredeemable force of chaos that the Joker is. Because make no mistake, the only sure fire answer to stopping the Joker hurting people would have been for Batman to kill him. But to do that Bats would have had to abandon his code, one of the foundations that make him who he is. But now he doesn't even have that option.

[Heathen]

Poor Jaymi. Not a lot of people are taking a liking to his telepathy. With good reason though. Most of them are cray in the head. XD

[Razqua]

So Sam are you waiting for someone to post? If not id like to get some more rp done tonight.

[An Outsider]

Give me two seconds.

[An Outsider]

Ok, that's the opening of our scrapfest. I'll be controlling the NPC's, so not insta-hits please. And remember that these are accomplished villains, who are well used to working together. We're unlikey to have an easy win, if we win at all. @Dragonbud - I know Fenrir locked Belle on the plane, but I wouldn't be surprised if she managed to break out and join the fight lol. Have fun guys.

[Dragonbud]

Dang I could take this in so many ways. Currently watching the Super Bowl tho, so I'll post later

[Razqua]

Glad were finally getting into the action.

[Razqua]

Probably not gonna work but worth a shot.

[Lord Wraith]

Well then. Looks like I shall need to post rather soon.

[Dragonbud]

Now I suppose the real question is if I want Belle to hulk out and join the fight, or maybe it would be more fun to have her hulk out and rip up some of the seat cushions in the cruiser

[An Outsider]

Ha ha When I originally wrote the post I thought to myself "Belle will definitely get out of this, the kid always finds a way to disobey the adults and get in on the action" but now I kinda want to see her stay trapped, and to hulk out and wreck the place. The team gets back to find her sitting calmly at the epicentre of a thoroughly trashed carrier, like a puppy that gets left at home on its own and wrecks the living room and pees on the carpet.
