Bio
I'm probably going to be one of the older members of this site. I've been roleplaying since Dungeons & Dragons had a Saturday morning cartoon on television. Yeah, I'm that old. I've been roleplaying online since 2001. I started in Yahoo chat rooms, and then around 2011 I was introduced to online forum roleplay. I tend to favor forum roleplay with multiple players than one-on-one games.
By this site's definition I am a Casual roleplayer as I may type anywhere from a few lines to a paragraph or two. It really depends on the game and the scene at the time. I tend to type less when my character is in a friendly conversation with another. Occasionally I may write three, four, or five paragraphs if so inspired.
I enjoy multiple settings with Modern/Slice of Life, Supernatural/Horror, Fantasy, and Superhero-themed being my faves.
Outside of roleplaying I enjoy television and movies, expanding my songs list on Spotify, and since last year, for better or worse, I've been watching a decent amount of cable news. I enjoy watching WWE, Supernatural, Arrow, The Flash, and The Daily Show. Animes I've enjoyed have been Attack on Titan, Fullmetal Alchemist, Parasyte: the Maxim, Tokyo Ghoul, and Sailor Moon (haven't seen the entire series). When it comes to music I'm mainly into Rock yet I will also listen to some Metal and Pop, and I'm a fan of 80's music.
I used to be really into comic books, but with today's prices a may just pick up the occasional graphic novel here and there. I'm more knowledgeable about Marvel characters than I am DC I believe. My favorite superhero is Spider-Man. Other characters I like are: Batman, the original New Warriors team, the original Thunderbolts team, the original Young Avengers team, and Young Justice (both the original comic & the animated series).
2021 UPDATES
Lost my job of 25+ years in February.
Got a new part-time job in June.
August 18th - Had to put my best friend of 15 years to sleep. Rest In Peace, pup.
I'm actually putting him on an X-Men team. I was trying to find other DC characters who would fit with the X-Men, specifically from the Doom Patrol.
If you're changing Beast Boy into a mutant then virtually any Teen Titan could possibly work. Though you might wanna stay away from the more popular characters (Starfire, for example) because chances sooner or later other person may come along and apply for them.
Here's a list that could give you some inspiration.
But... what about vampire Doc Ock? Now, hear me out. His tentacles are equipped with syringe tips to pierce and drain his victims of their blood in a more efficient method.
OK. Still a WIP. Just posting so y'all know I'm still here, I guess. Background could use some tweeking, need to fill out the Ultimate section and write a sample post.
Character You're Applying For:
Powers And Abilities:
Ghost Rider Transformation: Dani Ketch possesses the supernatural ability to transform into the Ghost Rider at night, in the presence of evil, or when innocent blood is spilled.
Superhuman Strength: The Ghost Rider possesses superhuman strength sufficient to lift up to 25 tons.
Superhuman Stamina: The mystical energy that empowers Ghost Rider prevents her 'muscles' from producing fatigue toxins during physical activities, granting her limitless superhuman stamina.
Superhuman Durability: While transformed into Ghost Rider, Dani's body was highly resistant to physical injury. She was capable of withstanding great impact forces, temperature and pressure extremes, powerful energy blasts, high caliber bullets, and falls from great heights without sustaining injury.
Regenerative Healing Factor: Despite her high resistance to damage and harm while she is transformed into Ghost Rider, Dani can still sustain any damage and/or harm. The mystical energies of the Ghost Rider enabled her to heal any damage and/or harm rapidly faster, greater and better than any ordinary human being is capable of. Her regenerative powers are powerful and quick, and they allow her to regenerate in a matter of moments/seconds depending on the damage and/or harm.
Penance Stare: The Ghost Rider possesses the supernatural ability to cause any individual who stares into her eyes to see and feel every bit of pain they have ever inflicted on anyone in their entire lifetime.
Hellfire Manipulation: The Ghost Rider possesses the ability to generate, control, and project mystical fire, or "hellfire" at will. Hellfire is an empyreal and supernatural flame that burns the soul of a person and can be used to burn their physical body. Ghost Rider can utilize this fire in various ways including: projecting it from her eyes, hands, mouth, or even channel it from her body into other weapons like her chain, form walls of hellfire, and even create a motorcycle completely out of hellfire.
Mystical Chain Projection: As Ghost Rider, Dani wields a mystical chain that is capable of growing in length, cutting through almost anything, and transforming into other weapons. She can also spew and project chains from her mouth or chest at will.
Origin And Backstory: Daniela and Barbara were adopted by the widow Francis Ketch when they were still in diapers. The two sisters never knew their biological parents nor the curse their bloodline carried. Francis managed to keep the family afloat as a single parent. The Ketches were a lower middle class family in Brooklyn yet the kids wanted for nothing for the most part.
Dani was always a good kid. Of course, there have been hiccups, but what kid doesn't get into trouble from time to time? Barbara on the other hand became wilder and wilder as she grew older. So it came to one night of plentiful underage drinking that Barbara called her little sister to come pick her up. Always the dutiful sister, Dani got on her Kawasaki VN 900 and went to her sister. While driving home Barbara got sick, so Dani pulled over across from a cemetery. Loud pops and bangs could be heard coming from the graveyard. In her drunken stupor ran into the cemetery to see what was going on with Dani chasing after her. A gunfight was going on between two opposing organizations. When the girls were discovered they became targets. Barbara was shot in the gut. Dani picked up her sister and ran as fast as she could towards her bike, but she too would be shot in the back and leg. As she lie dying looking over at her sister as the gunmen approached to finish the job, Dani prayed. She prayed to anyone and anything that would listen. She prayed not for hope or sanctuary. No. Instead she prayed for vengeance.
Her prayer would be answered not by angels or any heavenly host. Mephisto, Lord of Hell, answered Dani's call. Mephisto told Dani that he would save her life and give the power to exact her revenge if she was willing to make a deal with the devil. Dani agreed if only her sister was promised to survive the night. Mephisto agreed to Dani's term. And then, the devil disappeared.
From that night on Dani Ketch found herself possessed by a supernatural Spirit of Vengeance. At night, in the presence of evil or whenever innocent blood is spilled nearby, Dani transforms into... the Ghost Rider.
What Makes This Character 'Ultimate'?: My pretty font
Supporting Characters:
Mephisto - He is often confused with Lucifer, and in truth often allows the people of Earth to believe that his is in fact 'the devil'.
Francis Ketch - The only mother Dani and Barbara have ever known.
Barbara Ketch - Dani's older sister by two years.
Caretaker - Old dude in a cemetery who seems to know a little too much about the supernatural.
How are characters with the same names going to be handled? I was thinking of using Marvel's Scarecrow as a villain, for example. Would I simply have to clarify which Scarecrow it is I'm using? Or is a name change required?
