[OOC] Batman: Draconian

[Polyphemus]

@Polyphemus So, can I move my profile to the character tab?

@bluetommy2

Absolutely.

That goes for all of you- as soon as your character is approved by Pyro or myself, feel free to repost it under the tab.

Only two people who could portray Jason Todd in my book. Shame Jensen's getting too old to bring the role to the big screen. Even if he, and I would love it. He'd get to channel all of the dark sides of Dean Winchester into the role.

@Hillan

Oh he already did portray Jason Todd. In the movie Under the Red Hood he was the voice of Jason. I remember just stopping the movie and thinking for a second.

[Hillan]

I haven't actually decided if I'd see Jason as an enemy, or ally of Bruce at this point.
I think it'll be determined within the IC, I'm usually not a fan of setting up relationships beforehand, but let them start the natural way through interaction.

@Avanhelsing

I'm aware, sorry that I didn't make it clear, haha. Like I said, it's a shame Jensen's too old to play Jason in a movie, which is why my choice for a Red Hood era Jason is Joseph Sikora. (Any of y'all watched Power, you can see why.)

@Hillan
I thought I was the only one! I told a friend and he looked at me like I had just said that sun revolves around the earth...

[Hillan]

Laughed like a crazy person in season one of Power where Tommy gets checked at the door, and the thug goes "You motherfucking Rambo, or something"
Fits right in with Jason Todd. Except Jason probably would have cut the guy's throat.

Guy's a little psycho, like that.

[Polyphemus]

A heads up for everyone, I'm planning on posting the IC about 24 hours from now. That's not to say characters submitted after that will not be accepted, though- everyone may jump in whenever they feel comfortable doing so.

[knighthawk]

Added some simple equipment and psychology. I can make something a little more superhero-ish if you like.

[pyroman]

@knighthawkHe looks good, if Poly gives the word, feel free to put him in the cs area.

@knighthawk

No, he looks great. Put ol' Wildcat up there!

[knighthawk]

Adjusted his skills a little. removed the redundancy of 'fighting-fighting-fighting" from his abilities and replaced it with 'teacher' and 'experience' Because those can be just as useful as heatvision.

[pyroman]

Well, I find that the difference between a teacher and self-teaching/experience is the practicality of it all. You don't ever follow the instructions on the back of a box of coffee because it'll turn out horrible and everyone has their tastes and quirks. You need to be taught how to read and write because there is one definitive way to do it, and it is usually the most effective way to learn.

With fighting, I divide it like this. A martial artist versus a street fighter. The Martial Artist has learned a certain form that has been passed down for generations. It's a fighting style, but its treated more like a dance, not normally deviated or altered unless they are in a grave situation. On the other hand, a street fighter is flexible and normally aware of their surroundings. They alter and change all the time to fit where they are the best.

But when it boils down to the core of things, all of it is preference.

@pyroman

I agree but there are good teachers who shape their methods for their students, versus those regurgitate the orders from above and force others to regurgitate it back. I plan for him to be able to shape the gang into cohesive para-military, at least better than street-thugs and tommy-knockers.

[Polyphemus]

Okay guys, as promised, we are up and running. Do not take the length of that post as a standard, that's just me trying to introduce characters and set the mood. Posts should be whatever length you are comfortable with.

If you have not yet posted a character, no worries! Do so at your leisure, I have no problem with people joining after we start.

Also, before you ask, yes, that is Firefly attacking, and yes, Wayne's board is made up mostly of supervillains.

[TheUnknowable]

Has anyone taken Red Arrow yet? I could say he moved to Gotham after turning 18.
Alternatively, I could be Arsenal, and maybe have Luthor hire him to open up a way for Lexcorp to move into Wayne Enterprise's territory.

Better yet, I'll start as just "Red Arrow", then one of you can blow/cut off my arm. This will make me want revenge.

[pyroman]

@TheUnknowableCarson will have no problems slicing an arm off, just as long as he has some vague or frame of a reason to do it.

[knighthawk]

Threaten catwoman, He'll break it in ways it cant be healed and need to be amputated... For storyline reasons only, of course.

[TheUnknowable]

Red Arrow/Arsenal

Appearance:
After amputation:

Name: Roy Harper

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Occupation/ Employer/ Rank (if applicable): I own stock in Queen Consolidated and other major companies. I don't need a job. Later sponsored by Lex Luthor.

Skills/ Abilities: Archery, parquor, Muay Thai

Equipment: As Red Arrow: Bow, normal arrows, grappling arrows (2), explosive arrows (6), Flash arrows (flash-bangs, 2), expanding foam arrows (2), gas arrows (knock out, 4). Leather armor. Which prep time, he will change this to fit the situation. morphine, neo-epinephrine (increases strength and speed, decreases reaction time, and you don't crash like actual adrenaline)
As Arsenal: Prosthetic arm (laser beam weapon and reusable grappling claw included), 4 grenades, 2 smoke grenades, 2 flash-bangs, sometimes an RPG w/reloads, an Ak-47, or 50 cal sniper rifle. Titanium mesh armor. He also has a convincing prosthetic arm that only increases his grip strength for when he needs to go incognito. morphine, neo-epinephrine

Psyche: He doesn't like being wrong, and will fight to prove that he's right. He really doesn't like being treated like a kid or like he is less than someone else, and has been known to turn violent after being belittled. He's also a drug addict, and his drug of choice is neo-epinephrine.

History: He grew up on the streets until he was twelve, having to fight for his life. One day he was spotted by Oliver North while he was surveying the area for renovation, and after he made sure to spend as much time as he could around the rich man, Queen ended up adopting him. After that he was trained as the Green Arrow's sidekick and raise as the heir to Queen's fortune.
Three months ago Roy found a stash of Neo-epinephrine on a chemically enhanced villain he fought. Already curious about why criminals would use drugs to gain super-powers, he injected some into himself and was amazed by the results. Green Arrow was also impressed with his recent improvement, at least until he caught Roy shooting up before they attacked a gang headquarters. They got into a fight and, after the raid was over and the criminals locked away, Roy packed his bags and headed to Gotham, where he new Dr. Jeffery Burr, inventor of neo-epinephrine lived. He tracked the man down and arranged to by the drug directly, making it both cheaper and purer at the same time.
He now lives in an apartment in Gotham, where he will take down Wayne Enterprises to prove to Ollie that the drug can help them.

Ok, done with my CS.
