Bio

So there I am, in Sri Lanka, formerly Ceylon, at about 3 o'clock in the morning, looking for one thousand brown M&Ms to fill a brandy glass, or Ozzy wouldn't go on stage that night. So, Jeff Beck pops his head 'round the door, and mentions there's a little sweets shop on the edge of town. So - we go. And - it's closed. So there's me, and Keith Moon, and David Crosby, breaking into that little sweets shop, eh. Well, instead of a guard dog, they've got this bloody great big Bengal tiger. I managed to take out the tiger with a can of mace, but the shopowner and his son... that's a different story altogether. I had to beat them to death with their own shoes. Nasty business, really. But, sure enough, I got the M&Ms, and Ozzy went on stage and did a great show.

Don't threaten me with a good time.


Well, I'm sure there'll be a lot of that going around. They're a bunch of hormonal young teenagers shut in a house togeth--
This is what happens when you push all your friends away... suddenly you're begging people to sit down and share a cup of tea with you.

Meh-meh-meh... "That's valuable, Red, leave it alone." Meh-meh-meh. "The skull of the ancients is very fragile." Meh-meh-meh "I told you, now look what you've done, that magical artefact was irreplaceable." Meh-meh-meh...
Working on ye olde introduction post. I can't say I've had time to read everyone's in their entirety, but I plan to retroactively because I love reading people's writing. I just have a feeling I'm about to enter a Danger Zone of a busy week, and introduction posts always take a little bit for me to suss out. Moving forward, I'll be tippity-tapping a bit faster.

Just wondering @Hillan, because I left it ambiguous in my CS, who would be the Green Lantern(s) Hana has interacted with? I didn't put anything down, because I didn't want to assume. I meant to ask earlier, but it kept slipping my mind. And if I missed it in the OOC, sorry about that. I have to admit I sleep on occasion and miss the fun stuff.


Hana makes an appearance in the tail end of my post and Roman's Vincent post.

The whole building was briefly in a blackout and the lights have just come back on after being fixed by Hillan's Julian.

That's about all you need to know that directly affects Hana. If you skim those bits real quick you'll be golden.

... Surely, you made like, 90% of those up. Right?

Man, Julian's gonna have a bad day when a guy in green leather breaks into the Penthouse and yells in a very deep voice that he's failed this city.


I made none of those up, and you know it!

Ahhh the Golden Age of comics. Where you could give a monkey a bow and arrow and you have a full fledged antagonist. And the idea of a robotic Archer has enough legs for two different characters.

First villain wave:
Merlyn
Ape Archer
Archer from Mars
Archie the Archer
Cupid
Black Arrow
Crimson Archer
GAMA the Mechanical Archer
Iron Archer
John Centaur
Lord Kalesque
Rainbow Archer

"We seem to be finding a disproportionate number of archers as villains..."

"This is just what happens when we move to Seattle."
I always love seeing lesser-known villains being used and turned into an A-List threat. So please, don't throw us against the Joker or Metallo, the Court of Owls and League of Assassins are both overdone. But hey, bring back the Council of Spiders or the Republic of Tomorrow. We're in Seattle, so instead of transplanting Gotham villains, we should steal from Green Arrow, Green Lantern and Wonder Woman who have all at one time or another resided on the West Coast.


You'll get Ra's Al Ghul and like it, young man!
I miss our banter when everyone was anxious about being accepted or not so I'm going to start some discussion...

Since we're set in the DC Universe, who are you hoping makes an appearance in the RP? Furthermore, who do you want the team to go up against?

And if you're not a huge DC fan, what sort of threats are you hoping we face? Do you have any ideas you'd love to see happen whether as a story arc or even just an interaction between two or more characters?

Personally, I'm always a big fan of seeing any of the DC big names show up and hopefully disprove of our team initially until much later in the RP where they're forced to relent and acknowledge they're proud of us haha. In terms of Antagonists, I don't want to particular retread too much from the show, I'm okay with the Light being the main antagonist, but I'm hoping to see an original spin being put on either their mission or members.

As I mentioned earlier, I'm enjoying the team dynamic that has been established and I imagine most of my favourite moments will come from that. But I'm hoping that in addition to movie nights and other silly events we also get conflict among the team and maybe even having the team splinter and forced to fight members.


The Light's Queen Bee has her agent Brother Blood in charge of a legacy project, Project H.I.V.E whose mission statement is to bring forward a new generation into the Light and eventually become a legitimate counter-force to the Titans.

...but their first cake-walk assignment is to prove they have "The Right Stuff" by running over a speed bump; a ragtag "team" of misfits calling themselves Renegades in the Pacific North West...
If everyone’s happy I’d like to claim the dialogue in Hound’s post for Vincent’s debut; I plan to get it written and posted this evening after work.

I’m enjoying everything put up so far though. Wraith, I think I counted 3, maybe 4 pop-culture references in your post? When did you start being so hip and down with the kids?


S'all good, m'man.
