Three DC Comics RPGs, one game. Which moves forward? You decide!

Pitch 2 but I am worried about OCs. Been wanting to try out either Batman or Superman with my own spin on them.

Quick question, are we allowed to play a character who has neutral alignment? Like Catwoman, for example.

PENNSYLVANIA PLAZA // JAMES FARLEY POST OFFICE

"Nice to meet you, Hayes." Romero looked at the agent a bit longer than expected before making her way to the soldier. Bates knew that she was planning something. "Gather a squad and advance towards the Garden. Wait until the agents arrive."

With the new orders, the young soldier dismissed herself, leaving the three of them alone. Even with the introductions, there was some tension left in the room. Bates understood that Romero was still suspicious of their presence. And she wanted to make sure that he and Hayes weren't liars. So, the agent turned towards the captain and tried to move the convention along.

"What's the Garden?"

Romero chuckled at the question. "You know, the massive arena next door. You most likely call it the Madison Square Garden. When the hospitals began filling up with infected, temporary hospitals were set up by the city to ease up pressure. The Garden was one of the largest in the city. That was until City Hall happened." Bates noticed that the captain said the last sentence with a hint of sadness in her voice. It was something worthwhile to note for later.

"We remained in operations since then. But that was until the power went out about a day or two ago. And with everything around me falling apart, I had no choice but to abandon the hospital." Romero was silent for a moment before looking at her wound. It wasn't getting any better. "That's why I need you two to collect any remaining fuel given it hasn't been taken already. We planned on gathering as much as possible, but then... well, you saw what happened."

Bates still wasn't unable to believe that the situation got worse than expected. It was clear that he had to help out. Even if the hospital's already picked clean. "Don't worry. We will come back with plenty of fuel."

"Thanks-" Suddenly, Romero cried out in pain and saw that her wound had reopened. The doctor from earlier busted in and attended to her patient. She seemed to whisper something, but the captain wasn't able to talk. Bates knew that it was time to depart for the Garden. Then, his smartwatch lit up as ISAC alerted him of an urgent call for headquarters. Overload asked if their objective was fruitful, expecting to be disappointed.

"We found JTF forces along with its leader, Romero. But I regret to report that several NYPD officers were setting siege to their base upon our arrival. We had to take them out. Earlier, we were also under attack by two police officers after they opened fire on unarmed civilians. Over." Bates answered. Overload was about to respond until someone interrupted him. He spoke with a hint of curiosity in his voice.

"Understood... You will have to explain it to the commander once she arrives. Over."

"Wait, what for?!" Bates tried to ask the reason for her presence, but Overload ended comms before he could've said a word. Did it have something to do with him killing the police? It wasn't like they were given any choice besides getting killed. Or maybe it was something else entirely unrelated? The thoughts were driving him paranoid. For now, though, he had to focus on retrieving the fuel from the arena. But he had to utter a curse word under his breath before heading outside.

Video Games: The General Discussion & Community Thread

My Hider

Joel also acts entirely out of character to get to the spot where he could get ambushed and murdered in such an unconvincing way.

@Inkarnate

spoilers

It's because he got comfortable after living in Jackson for several years. Plus, Abby helped him and Tommy out while a horde was on their asses. And the horde didn't give them much time to question this stranger unless they wanted to be eaten.

Video Games: The General Discussion & Community Thread

Unpopular opinion time! Last of Us Part 2 was a good game overall. I liked Abby and had fun playing as her.

spoilers

I enjoyed her fight with Ellie. She was totally justified in killing Joel after what he did in the first game. Actions have consequences after all! And she also had the best boss battle in the game.

But anyway, Joel was selfish by killing humanity's only chance of a cure. Then, he got all upset when Ellie learned the truth (which he kept on lying to her until he got caught). I know that gamers love Joel and Ellie, but all of the characters in the Last of Us (Part 1 and 2) are shitty folks. Besides the doggy.

ATLANTIS: The Lost Empire

Sadly, I am afraid that I have to drop out. Something came up at the last minute that needs my attention. Sorry.

ATLANTIS: The Lost Empire

I will try out for the commander role.

Name
Georgie Evans

Age
45

Gender
Female

Role
Commander

Specialty
Evans was trained for this classified expedition by the best explorers, surveyors, and archaeologists. But, she avoided their suggestions and advice, crafting her own path. That's what happened when you select a General's daughter to led.

Personality
Being in the military for so long has caused Evans to become ruthless and cold-spirited.

Appearance
Evans was still good looking for her age, standing at five foot and two inches with an athletic body. Her slightly long blonde hair was one of the few things that she didn't change. For her uniform, she stuck with traditional military apparel with a holster for her pistols. And she also worn her service cap whenever possible as a reminder of her struggles and its reward.

History
Being the only woman in a military family was tough. Having your father fought in the Great War as a general was tougher. Georgie was always treated like an angel, but she knees that he was disappointed with having a daughter instead of a son. So, she started proving herself. Following her family's tradition, she enlisted in the Royal Army and was flat-out rejected. Yet, Georgie decided to fight for the right to join and took it to court. It only took a year before the judges sided with her.

Her time at boot camp was a challenge as the other soldiers and commanders dismissed easily. That made Georgie more determined. And she found her gift: leadership. It took decades of fighting to prove herself before she finally was promoted to Commander. Georgie, for the first time in a long time, was content with her life. Until she was contacted with a once-in-a-lifetime offer.

And she gladly accepted it.

Once the police officers realized there was someone else, it was already too late to react. Overwhelmed and surrounded, there was no other option than to retreat. A few officers sacrificed themselves to ensure that everyone else was able to escape without harm. And after killing the last remaining officer, Firefly understood that it would be a waste of them chasing after them and decided to let them run away. Now, his attention was on the base and the soldiers outside. He tried to make his way up to the stairs, but guns were immediately drawn upon him and his partner. One of them, a young woman, slowly got out of her cover and cautiously looked around her surroundings. "While we are grateful for your assistance, it doesn't mean you're allowed to approach us. Who are you?"

Firefly lowered his rifle and slowly held his hands up. "I am Division Agent Bates, empowered and authorized by Executive Order and DHS Directive 51. We are here to help."

There was some mumbling between the JTF soldiers while the woman examined the agents. Of course, she didn't believe it. Given the current state of the city, Bates was understandable of the distrust and was prepared to earn their trust. He was about to respond until the solider was alerted by her comms. She signaled one of the other soldiers to keep an eye on the strangers and head inside the base. An awkward silence followed for seconds. Then, the doors opened wide, and the soldier told them to follow her.

Firefly nodded and made his way inside, but nothing could have prepared him for what he saw. A dozen casualties filled the entrance while the few doctors and nurses were doing their best. He did his best to avoid the dire situation and kept on following the soldier. Eventually, they arrived at the makeshift command center, where another doctor was treating a soldier's gunshot wound. No doubt it was Romero. She noticed the strangers and turned towards the doctor.

"We can continue this later, doc."

"But, I wasn't done-"

"We can continue it later." The last word came out sharper than intended, but it got the point across. The doctor said nothing but it was clear that she was unpleased with the demand. And when it only the three of them, Romero took a moment to examine the strangers before introduction herself. "I was told that a pair of well-equipped men saved our asses from death. Now, I don't know if you are a blessing or a curse in disguise. I guess we will find out eventually. Introduce yourselves."

"I am Division Agent Bates, empowered and authorized by Executive Order and DHS Directive 51." Firefly extended his hand out to her, but it became immediately apparent that Romero didn't trust them. He put his hand down, and awkwardly continued talking. "And this is-"

Romero put her hand up to interrupt him. "Can't he talk?"

"Well, yes-"

"Then, let him speak." Romero turned her attention towards Badger, waiting for a response.
