Current Ever had that moment were you've just lost a battle of wills with your dog and think to yourself, "maybe I should be the one sleeping on the floor"? I have. It's oddly liberating.

My Lit Lecturer used Matt Fraction's Hawkeye run to display the effect of narratology in class today. It's the first thing he's spoken about all term that I've actually read.

How good is the Punisher in Netflix's Daredevil series? "Just some guys who are about to walk into a diner for the last time." That line is so manly it could make a toddler sprout a beard.

The Justice League trailer is giving me mixed emotions. On the one hand, I desperately want to get hyped. On the other, Snyder and co have burnt me too many times in the past. I'm a conflicted mess.

What? The Lethal Weapon tv show isn't utter garbage at all, instead being an enjoyable watch. What the fuck is the world coming to?

Bio

For all you know I'm handsome as hell. Let's keep it that way.

Mayhaps, but then I'd also like to try my hand at Aquaman, Green Lantern, The Atom and Wonder Woman. Decisions, decisions.
Obviously interested. No idea who I'd play though.
Sorry folks, I'm still around, just been heck busy lately. I'll see about getting caught up sharpish.
Still waiting on review of 'take 2'


Take 2 still needs a backstory and sample post.
Pending agreement from my Co-GMs, I'd like to accept the completed sheets for @Nightrunner's 'The Ghost of the Batman', @Xenonia's 'The Sloth' and @SuperTacticalDerp's 'William Dagger'.

If I've missed any other completed sheets plus let me know.


I'm good with this decision.


Name:

Cordelia ‘Cordy’ Sloan


Alias:

N/A


Age:

27


Appearance:

Cordy is a beautiful girl. No two ways about it. Long, golden hair, big blue eyes, a body well nourished and deceptively athletic for someone who’s spent so much time in a lab coat. Anyone can see from a mile off that she hasn’t spent any time in the bad lands. She doesn’t carry the scars one would pick up there, nor the worry lines that would be accrued when every day is struggle against the odds just to survive. Her delicate fingers and manicured nails have never had to dig in the dirt just in the hopes of finding an old can of beans.

However there is something about her that suggests she’s more than just some soft Presidium girl, an indescribable yet indelible quality. It might be the fierce intelligence that resides in her gaze, or the confident, almost arrogant way she holds her self. Perhaps it’s the cool indifference she pay’s to any obstacle that plants itself in her path, as if even the most major of setbacks are no more than minor nuisances to her. Whatever it is, it’s evident for anyone with the wit to see it that there’s an iron to Cordy.


Abilities/Skills:

Really bloody smart. Making herself a supersuit ala Ironman before she got thrown into the slammer. (Suit confiscated when she is thrown into prison. Side mission for Cordy is getting it back)


Backstory:

Does it matter who Cordelia's parents are? After all, she doesn't know, so why should you? Just like every other child born in the Presidium she was parted from her birth parent's at an early age, long before she could ever make any kind of emotional attachment to them, and inserted into the state run orphanage (A more efficient mode of raising children, according to Lex Luthor, than the out dated 'nuclear family' option).

Secretly Cordy considers herself something of a freedom fighter, co-ordinating several rebel groups to confuse and confound the super-villain elite of the day. She does this to keep suspicions far from her real goal, the creation of a exo-skeleton super suit that would allow her to strike down the despotic tyrants who rein supreme.

(Cordy is aware that creating a suit to fight these powers is a full-hardy and non-effective way to deal with them. Political machinations would work much better, getting each leader to take down one another. However she is not only arrogant, she is also ambitious. She wants people to see her take down the tyrants so she can more easily instil herself in a leadership position once they are gone. I.E HER GOALS ARE NOT COMPLETELY ALTRUISTIC.)

Work on the suit is slow as she is forced to hire third parties to scavenge technology and designs for her from the wastelands. (Tech from the fallen tower, design schematics from old STAR lab facilities etc etc.) She is just nearing completion when she suffers a major setback. One of the scavengers she hired to get her parts is thrown into Pandemonium. To save his own hide he sells Blockbuster the story about Cordy’s work. (She didn‘t tell the scavenger about the suit, but he was sharp enough to put the dots together himself) Blockbuster commisions a daring covert raid into the Presidium to capture Cordy. She is taken back to Pandemonium, along with her research. Blockbuster is currently trying to force her to make the suit work for him, as well as recreate it so he can have an army, one that can help him conquer more territory.


Sample Post:

Notes: Good ol' tap water. Yup, I'm that boring!

I have the majority of my character finished; the last surviving member of the Mercenary family, the Talon Company...only, I'm curious; how long do you want the Example Post to be? I have a few ideas floating around my head, but it's all jumbled.


Really the sample post should adhere to the rules of regular posting. Rules 13 comes to mind for length -

13. Writing expectations for this roleplay are at least a two (2) paragraph minimum per post. Three (3) to five (5) paragraph posts however would be awesome so long as you're not simply chewing the scenery. Proper spelling and grammar is also expected but small mistakes here and there are understandable. Blatant offenses will be called out.

Though if you want/need to write more than that feel free to go wild. We'll read the sample regardless of length.
Sad face. Well guess I'll have to find another place for that character then.


I'm sure that wont be too hard, she's a good character.
Ok guys, I'm afraid to announce Outsiders is finished.

We've had a good run, and I've enjoyed playing with you all. Hopefully we'll get a chance to again in the future.

Anyone looking to continue playing in a similar RP should take a look at @The Kid Lantern's Young Justice: 2020 game, a reboot of the original 2020. It still hasn't taken off yet, so if your quick you can get a character into the starting line-up.

Cheers, Sam.
Not sure who to bring over back here, if Blacksam is gone does that mean the Outsiders are no more?


Indeed. Outsiders is done I'm afraid Damo.
