I kinda had a hard time with your character, to be honest. I probably should've picked Ruelle's Live Like Legends instead. But I thought Legend sounded better for Carol because she (assuming here) was kinda cocky military personnel with the right heart. The kind of person willing to fight until they're bleeding and sweating for someone else. Now after listening to both songs, I kinda wished that I chose Ruelle's song instead.

@Mao Mao

I think you have Carol all wrong, but I'll wait till I have IC posts to back that up. But cocky is definitely not a word I would ascribe to her.

You're going to have to explain this one to me.

Sensation & Wonder: An Absolute Comics Roleplay [DC & Marvel One Universe Style Game]

In the year of 2010, life on Earth was changed forever. The Eastern Seaboard of the United States was caught off guard when an alien race known only as THE DOMINATORS opened fire above New York City. Attempting to subdue the population, the Dominators made quick work of local law enforcement and their military reinforcements. When the hour seemed darkest, a thunderclap rang out above New York, a billowing white cape signalling the arrival of SUPERMAN. Striking the first blow against the Dominator mothership, Earth’s champion was joined by S.H.I.E.L.D., the agency revealing their helicarrier, Lady Liberty, to the world in a hail of weapons’ fire.

Leaping from the bow of the flying airship, the legendary hero known as WONDER WOMAN joined the fight alongside Superman. Though mighty, there was only so much the two could before they were aided by the BATMAN who quickly deduced the invaders were more interested in capturing the residents of New York than killing them. The hero of Gotham infiltrated the alien mothership floating above the capital city alongside a young SPIDER-MAN. Together, the heroes rescued the citizens of New York from certain torture and returned them to the city below before sabotaging the vessel from within.

Realizing the tide was turning, the Dominators changed tactics and began to open fire on the city below. New York certainly would have been destroyed were it not for the timely intervention of Earth’s Sorcerer Supreme, DOCTOR FATE. Projecting a shield above the skyline, the crashing alien ship was lost to the waters bordering the city never to be seen again.

In the aftermath of the battle, the heroes realized the good they good do together and so the JUSTICE LEAGUE was founded, inspiring hope in people across the globe and others to use their gifts and step up to the plate. Now, over a decade later, in the midst of an escalating CRIME WAVE, the world has even more heroes and organizations all working to keep Earth safe.

These are their stories.

The Dominator’s ship had last been seen flying above New York before its alleged destruction. In the aftermath of the battle above New York, no further thought was given to the ship as the world became obsessed with the formation of the Justice League. With the eyes of the world elsewhere, the ship remained long thought to be destroyed, but it was instead only surrendered to the ravaging tides of the Atlantic Ocean. Months passed by and any remaining members of the alien crew slowly died a truly agonizing death born of hungry and failed escape attempts. After months had passed, then so too did years and systems and power supplies began to fail, causing shields to drop and the hull to be vulnerable to the crushing pressure of the depths.

It was after this time, a glowing red slit of an eye was finally laid on the eerie skull-like wreckage of the once ominous imposing ship.

The Dominators had left a profound impact on the world. Finding humanity to be an excellent test subject for their evolution technology, they had attempted to capture and enslave a large portion of the population to turn them into a metahuman. This of course failed when Superman led the charge against them and they were ultimately defeated. But the radiation from their vessel, the same radiation used in expediting the growth of the meta-gene, was expelled over New York when Batman sabotaged their systems. As such, the Eastern Seaboard is now the highest concentration of metahumans and subsequently mutant population in the world.

It was this technology that had made the Dominator’s ship such an asset to his employer and it was his retrieval of the menacing skull shaped vessel that had secured his own position on his employer’s Cabal.

Looking at his surroundings, the tall man in the red visored helm had to admit that the restoration had come a long way. What was once a high priced derelict wreck was now a fully operational underwater base of operations, hidden far away from the prying eyes of the Avengers, the League or even S.H.I.E.L.D.

His employer had a vast amount of resources and that afforded them men, something the man’s own expeditions had rarely allowed him in the past. Even now there were men moving about quickly. Ivo’s creations were always flipping the breakers and if it wasn’t Ivo powered up one of his, then it was Zola’s perversions causing the power to flicker.

“Manta.” The man turned at the sound of his name, recognizing the mechanical voice as belonging to the doctor himself. Even though his body was lost to time, he now lived on through a mechanical shell. There was something about the German accent coming from the science fiction creation that Black Manta couldn’t decide if it was irritating or amusing. Blood was spilled all over the robotic body’s hands and arms, steadily dripping off of the metal appendages and onto the floor beneath Zola’s feet.

“What is it that you need, Doctor?”

“More subjects.” The robot demanded, motioning towards the caravan of gurneys being wheeled out of the room he had previously occupied. Manta nodded solemnly. There was something strangely unnerving about talking to Zola’s unblinking face behind a blood splattered screen.

“A team will leave immediately.” Manta stated, turning heel as he headed towards his vessel.

”Manta,” Zola stated, causing the other man to pause mid-step. ”It is very important to him that we complete this work. Time is of the essence. Ensure that they have the gene. There is no room for error.”

Opening the airlock, the pneumatic doors, hissed as Manta stepped inside.

”They’ll handle their part of the job, you handle yours.”

A low rumble echoed through the room as the elevator descended to the hangar. Zola nodded approvingly before turning around and returning to the room he had come from. The echo of a saw spinning rang out seconds before the door slide shut, silencing the screams within.

Things are very East Coast-centered right now. Am I correct in understanding that even if we pick up a supporting/roaming character in addition to our driving one, that we would still have to post with that character once every two weeks, even if there's no current plot for them to hop in on? @Lord Wraith

I'm debating grabbing someone else that's more West Coast to balance things out so that other players have someone to play off of outside of Gotham and New York.

@Retired

I'm going to say that the posting requirement is more of a guideline for supporting characters because you do make a good point in that there might not be a plot for them to jump into, however, there's definitely a stipulation if someone comes along and wants to make them a driving character that you need to move or get out of the way. We don't want to encourage people to camp on characters for the sake of claiming them either.

C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T ________________________________________________________________________________________ Richard 'Dick' Grayson, the boy from the circus, the boy wonder. He was Batman's first Robin and then they grew up and grew apart. Dick went off to college, earned a law degree and went to work for the authorities. But life had other plans for him and the former Robin became the present Nightwing. This is a pretty standard take on Nightwing, he banters, he has a thing for redheads. The only thing I will add, is he's a bit old and a bit wiser. His rift with Bruce is repaired a bit more since he's had more time to reflect and realize the benefits of his life with Bruce and Alfred. Most importantly, with Alfred gone, Dick has truly had to become the heart of the Batfamily and that's something I intend to show through his interactions with each of it's many members. P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) ________________________________________________________________________________________ I think wanting to play your favourite character in all of fiction is a pretty obvious reason behind playing Dick Grayson. Add into the fact I'm intending him to be solely a supporting character, it takes off a lot of the stress that I normally feel when playing the character and planning out large plots that rarely come to fruition. Instead, this time around I'll be playing Blüdhaven's Knight mostly when approached by other players as outlined in the plot below.

With that many bats running around, Gotham might need a little pest control. Maybe its time for...

Pest Control

@DocTachyon

This wasn't Ratcatcher and now I'm disappointed.

Sensation & Wonder: An Absolute Comics Roleplay [DC & Marvel One Universe Style Game]

Well, another Batman ally. It's springtime for Mr. Freeze. This will be a fun fight against the bat horde

@Ever Faithful

Fight? You think there's going to be a fight if all of them show up.

I don't remember suicidal in Mr. Freeze's psychological profile.
