Bio

Very well, where do I begin?

My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet.

My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament.

My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard, really. At the age of twelve, I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles.

There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking. I highly suggest you try it.

I enjoyed World of Heroes when we had a stacked Teen Titans roster. Superboy, Robin, Ravager, Zachary Zatara, Kid Flash, and Supergirl all PCed at the same time. Otherwise, I don't really remember it. I had way more fun in the Ultimate and One Universe RPGs.


With as much reverence as I have for World Of Heroes, that second iteration of Ultimate DC was some of the best stuff I've ever produced to this day. And I wasn't alone. From Byrd's amazing Edward Nygma, who never became The Riddler but was an incredibly formidable opponent without the need for any of those trappings, to Andy's pretty awesome Robin and Raven ship, to Spike's Bane, to your Selina Kyle, who I still hold in such a high regard that I've never been able to feel quite right in writing Selina for myself. I still wish we had gotten to do half of the stuff we'd planned for Bruce and Selina as Batman and Catwoman, because we got to do alot of the build-up to it. There were alot of great players who visited UDC's Gotham... much to the chagrin of alot of players, who represented cities that weren't nearly as popular.

Looks to one of MB's posts in the IC.
Yeah. Fuck the kind of writers who would to that.


I may or may not have actually intended that to be a subtle reference to that very instance.

(I'm playing Ultimate Batman, goddammit!)

Kinda curious about these issues. World of Heroes is one of the games I never read the archives of.


Long story short, JRK was a massive fan of The Dark Knight Returns (so am I, not judging) and unironically loved All-Star Batman & Robin. But to a problematic degree. Half of the time, he wrote Batman as he should be, with the whole no guns and no killing rule and a general sense of heroism. And then half of the time he'd pull random Miller-esque shit that felt incredibly out of place, to the point that a couple of our veteran players had to call him out for having Bruce kneecap a motherfucker with a gun in one of the middle seasons out of nowhere. And this wasn't an Ultimate game, this was meant to be a game where it went off of the current comics at the time. His Batman just had weird Millerism tourettes, almost.

But, even so, he didn't need a dude hanging around him all of the time making half-jokes about how if he slipped up even once, his character would be pounced on. And I should say that despite all of these issues, I still quite enjoyed his writing with the character most of the time. He was a good Batman for the game when he was on point. I was just a jealous little bitch who wanted to usurp him in what I considered the "official" Hype DC game.

Can we devolve the thread into Dick Grayson jokes now?


I think Titans has us covered for any potential Dick Grayson jokes in the foreseeable future.

I played Batman for a single post? Or was it just an application? Or all a fever dream? I just remember stepping in (or wanting to step in) because MB finally stepped down, and I knew there'd be no other chance.

And sure enough, there hasn't been...




But yeah, no, I've gotten that plenty of times over the years. I am a complete Bat-hog in any game I participate.

And then I took over for you and you nitpicked the shit out of it....


Yeah. I... did that, too. To say that I was a massive dickhole whenever it came to Batman at the time is a massive understatement. I had my issues with how JRK portrayed Bruce, but looking back on it, I shudder at my borderline harassment behavior. I wish the dude was still around so that I could've made amends before the games tanked.

Thankfully, I'm marginally less of a dickhole about Batman (and in general) now.

So...

When did everyone start rping, where and who was your first character? Mine was on a browser game that also had forum rp going on. I was a Jaffa called Tul'ak I think his name was


I started off on Superhero Hype in 2003 as a member, then joined the game "World Of Heroes: The DC Universe RPG" as Nightwing in it's second season. I was 13 or 14 at the time. Then around 2008, I played Batman for the first time by... starting my own game with the very first Ultimate DC game after lobbying hard to play Batman in World Of Heroes, much to the chagrin of the player who actually played him. My first run wasn't very good at all, so when UDC rebooted a few years later, I really made the character my own. Then, years later, when that player disappeared and Batman became vacant in World Of Heroes, I got my shot and immediately blew it by being a lazy piece of shit.

So, lesson learned. If you think you want something and obsess over it too long, maybe try sticking with what you've got instead. Because you might just screw up what you originally wanted all along, if given the chance.

I was originally going to go by my first name but someone else, a mod of all people, had taken it. So through a convoluted chain of circumstance, I became the Byrd Man despite not actually having Byrd as a last name, nor really knowing anyone with that last name.


And unfortunately, I don't think The Hype let you use more than a few set of characters for names, because I long for the alternate reality where we all got to know you as Dark Master Matt.

I've taken to going by Webhead on other sites/services, so probably that. If not, then... I don't know. I've always sucked at usernames.


Same. My first ever username on the Hype was... and I can't believe I'm about to say this... BW/BM. As in "Bruce Wayne/Bat Man".

God, my secret shame revealed.
