[OOC] The New Frontier: A Marvel/DC One Universe RP

[Sep]

It's cool, man.

Sometimes you just need to get the balling rolling.

@Morden Man

2000 right there. For 3000 we need some baloons or something.

[Eddie Brock]

Posting might be lean this week as I'm entertaining a guest from out of town. But I'm loving everything you guys are putting out.

Samesies.

[TimeMasterX]

I'm just gonna leave this source of pure epic right here...

The epic I mentioned earlier

[Roman]

Speaking of, we're actually making some headway into my first Daredevil arc now. At this rate, it'll only be a couple of year before we wrap it up!

[Vandy]

Alright posted. Kinda short and I really don't think it was that good but there we go. I'll do some Aquaman stuff later. Now it's time to play catch up. Did I miss anything important OOC?

@Vandy

You missed EVERYTHING!!!

Also, I'm trying to think of a good start for Doom, it's on it's way but I'll be PMing people about it where necessary.

Slowly on its way everyone!

[Sep]

@TimeMasterX it is always necessary and compulsory to pm me.

[Bounce]

Bleh.

That Damian post feels rushed, but I have no regrets.

...and I'm too lazy to go back and edit it.

[TimeMasterX]

Random question, does anyone here listen to specific music when you're writing? For me, if there's a particular mood I'm aiming for in an IC post I'll quite often write with an appropriate bit of soundtrack playing. Anyone else do anything similar?

[Blue Demon]

My background music is multitasking. Sometimes I watch tv. Sometimes I listen to music. Sometimes I play games. It all really depends. And I cannot say I've ever specifically listened to a certain type of music for writing.

@TimeMasterX

In short, yes. I always listen to music. But the music I listen to depends on what I'm writing. When I wrote a confrontation between Daredevil and Bullseye I was jamming to some Breaking Benjamin and Autopilot Off. I try to keep a soundtrack for each character, though honestly I haven't developed a good one for Hourman. I had a killer Batman writing playlist though. I got the idea from the Hype RPGs Official Soundtrack Thread.

@TimeMasterX

All the time.

In fact, its the only way I can write and the music needs to fit the character. As a result, people describe my iTunes library as the strangest thing they've ever seen in their life.

Usually for Damian I write to a mixture of Staind, Nightwish, and Three Day's Grace. This time however I've taken a different approach and his playlist is meant to reflect what he is listening to on his iPod, so I have the Top 40 mix of current music shuffling for him.

On the flip side, I write Kai-ro to a playlist that mixes Two Steps From Hell, The Piano Guys, Theophany, and select pieces from World of WarCraft's soundtrack.

@TimeMasterX

I listen to a lot of orchestral stuff whilst writing. A fair bit of Two Steps From Hell and Hans Zimmer. Also like a bit of Bach.

[An Outsider]

I nearly always listen to music when I'm posting. I need it to tune out any other outside distractions, as I get distracted from writing very easily. I don't have a specific soundtrack though, just whatever happens to take my fancy at the moment. Was listening to Muddy Waters Greatest Hits during that last Stark post.

[GreenGrenade]

I listen to music whenever I write. I almost always compile a playlist for specific characters, themes, and storylines; Miles is no exception. It's normally a mixture of instrumentals and vocals, e.g. for Miles' playlist I have Spider-Man tracks by Danny Elfman, James Horner and the more recent one by Hans Zimmer, along with songs by Think Up Anger. For my most recent post it was a lot of Lionel Ritchie and Stevie Wonder.

[Morden Man]

I'm actually surprised by how many people listen to music whilst writing. I find it so distracting that I almost always write in silence. I can understand listening to orchestral pieces or atmospheric music but I find it difficult to write with my brain trying to contend with lyrics.

If I had to listen to something it would probably be like this:

But preferably stony, sterile silence for me.

[Sep]

I quite often have something in the background whether by coincidence or planned. If its a show that I have seen before it can be running (I rewatch shows so much that I can happily play them as background music). Though if I haven't seen it before I need to turn it off as it is too distracting, with music I don't have set pieces for a character but if I find something and go 'oh that is totally Colossus' I will use it.

I am a bigger fan of trailer and orchestral music anyway so it tends yo br that. One thing I have taken to playing for the Hulk is the music from 'The Incredible Hulk' which was pretty damn good.

But preferably stony, sterile silence for me.

@Morden Man

This I can understand too.

@Morden Man I made a thing

Hella Rad

Name:

Klavdiya Lynne Riordan/ Hella

Alignment:

Lawful Evil

Affiliation:

Her Vendetta

History:

For as long as anyone could remember, the Riordan family had been as much a part of Blúdhaven as the cobbles which paved its sin-ridden streets. In a festering pit of murder and debauchery, the Riordan’s were stalwart sentinels of justice and integrity. A police family, throughout the generations; to be born a Riordan was to be born a guardian of that small shred of purity which slunk beneath layers of chaos and corruption.

Klavdiya Riordan was both an up-and-coming hero in the BHPD, and the media’s favorite golden girl. Any transgression she made was swept under the rug, and any slip up was quietly forgotten about.

One day, an event was held to honour each and every Riordan on the police force, with them all having been gathered to receive commendations for their families dedication to the city.

Midway through the ceremony, the park stand exploded, and every Riordan except for Klavdiya lost their life.

After a prolonged period of recovery in hospital, Klavdiya went rouge, assumed the identity “Hella”. and dedicated her life to uncovering who was behind the bombing, and bringing them to justice. Her methods go beyond questionable, and most would argue that the ends by no means justify the means.

Supporting Cast:

Hella works alone.

How (if at all) does the New Frontier version of your character differ from the original?:

This incarnation of Hella is mostly faithful to the original depiction, with a few minor alterations, an expanded history of the Riordan family, and the nature of the bombings left a secret. Also I changed “Katherine” to “Klavdiya”.

A Killer Moth Post what I gone and did

Chloe Van Cleer sat with her long legs spread out across the backseat of the van, listening to the two other thugs bickering as they wound their way down Gotham’s grimey streets, beneath the light of flickering street lamps.

“What are you, six?”

“Yeah, I’m six.Six inches deep in your mom.”

“My mom’s dead, you freak.”

“I promise she wasn’t when I started.”

“I’m two fucking seconds away from snapping your neck, you prissy little lady-boy fuck!”

“Dudes! Chill the fuck out!” Chloe piped up, giving the back of the driver’s chair a firm kick. “At least wait until we’ve got the job done before you start killing each other. I don’t give a fuck what happens once I’m paid.”

“Well, I’m not getting paid enough to work with this bag of dicks.” Fierro grumbled from behind the wheel, his steely eyes fixed on the road.

“You look like you could use a good dicking,” jeered the prissy-looking figure with long eyelashes and a woman’s plump shoulders in the seat next to him “help you loosen up a bit.”

“When the day comes, I’m sure you’ve got a spare one lodged up your ass that you could lend me.”

Tuning out the two gangster’s whining, Chloe caught sight of the tinny blue mini cooper they were on the lookout for.

“Dead ahead, fellas.” she said firmly, pumping her fist against the floor.

“Gotcha.” Fierro nodded, hitting the accelerator, and speeding straight into the back of the car. The vehicles connected with a jagged thud, denting metal and cracking the glass tail lights.

“Rock and roll.”

The two gangsters killed the ignition, unlocking their doors and stepping out into the road, as the driver of the mini leapt out, red in the face and looking ready to curb stomp someone.

“Where did you jokers learn to drive?!” He bellowed, a vein in his forehead bulging.

“Sorry mate, our bad.” Fierro said smoothly, raising his arms in surrender.

“Too right, it's your bad!” He snapped “You better be insured!”

Meanwhile, in the back of the van, Chloe was fastening the straps of her mask over the back of her head, and locking a gas canister into place on her cocoon gun.

She ever-so-gently eased the van’s doors open, clambering down into the road, with her features obscured. She poked her head round the corner of the van.

The target and the goons were all caught up in a heated argument, giving Chloe the perfect vantage point to line up her shot.

She yanked the trigger, and a thick stream of highly concentrated knockout liquid lanced through the air, splattering across the target's face, and putting him to sleep almost instantly. The fumes leaked out into the air around him, and soon the two thugs were swaying, and then passing out and dropping to the floor.

“Sorry, lads,” she muttered from beneath her mask, as she crouched down next to them, pulling a knife from her boots and placing it across the prissy one’s throat “but this way...I become a fuck load richer.”

Shhhhhhhhrrrkkkkkkkk!
