DC Reborn

With everybody in coats (surely because of snowstorms) the gang is starting to look like an extreme 90's Justice League...

DC Reborn

I'm gonna go ahead and start working on an OOC for this one and maybe an opening IC post since I'm currently snowed in. Hope everybody is warm and safe!

DC Reborn

@Cyrania You called him J'onn once towards the end still but it looks good!

We've got one other player/CS on deck with an amazing concept/fusion of sorts already, but we've still got room for a few more people if anybody else is out there lurking!!!!

FIGHTING SPIRIT PRO-WRESTLING

I didn't know Wild Pegasus was also one of the aliases. When I saw that Finn Balor used the gimmick later on I just started looking at it as just another legacy. I used edited images of Balor under the mask [working on a few more if you need them] because there's maybe really one that I like of Benoit under the mask [when he had a belt]. I'm also really high on the Balor train ATM, was hoping he'd go babyface after his match with CM Punk and... well last night happened LOL. So if there's any question, the homage is probably more to Balor than anybody.

The Greek and Roman mythology around winged horses was just different enough from a character like the Patriot to still work for an American wrestler in another country. I used King in the name to shy away further from the older gimmick, and have him sporting red and gold rather than blue and silver. I'll probably have three or four more images of Balor in the mask, probably just recolored images of Balor with the mask tacked on top.

"The Heavens Above" also works!

@Ultimate Spidey
1.) I could dig it, but with vampire Batman there's three heroes already in Gotham.
2.) A Stargirl super-soldier could be fun.
3.) I vaguely remember the Everyman Project, wasn't familiar with Amazing Woman but I remember Fury. Countdown was wild.
4.) I wish somebody would take the idea of riding a giant thunderbird for one of the Hawks. Rescuers Down Under changed my life lol
5.) The OG Ben10 of superheroes has always been a tough sell. IDK how you'd change it up for this altered universe other than just becoming one hero?
6.) I've always wanted to genderswap a character like Black Canary (Blackbird), Tomorrow Woman (Tomorrow Man), or Wonder Girl (Wonder Boy) for something.

The main thing is just taking the concept and making it your own. New look, powers, person under the mask, etc. The names are just about the only thing that remains from previous iterations. Superman hasn't been Clark Kent since the 60's and he was an adult when he landed in the 1930's. He's basically a lazy Kryptonian living in the arctic who only saves the world when he's super bored. Batman isn't Bruce, and he's a mf vampire (did I mention the Trinity was loosely based on Gods & Monsters?). And WW's Amazons are more like an off-shoot of the New Gods here with Motherbox/teleporting tech.

And so far we've got my Deadman powered by the green Lantern. An occult styled Flash called Speed Demon. A Martian potentially posing as Plastic Man. And a female spin on Bane called Bone Breaker.

This group of protagonists might actually be more out of left field than the Tangent universe.

DC Reborn

One or two more players and we should have a solid enough cast to move forward! Hoping a few more people give us some banger character sheets reworking some randoms. Had somebody recolor some Centurions fanart to use that Green Arrow/flying suit concept as an NPC in the game if nobody wants to run with that idea (another interested player actually mentioned having a similar take...)

Submitting for approval...

_______________________________

Ring Name: Pegasus King
Nickname(s): Lord of the Skies; King of the Clouds;
Billed From: the clouds over North America
Height: 6' 2"
Weight: 245 lbs
Age: 34
Appearance/Pic Base: Pegasus Kid II (Finn Balor)



Text Color: Bold Red

Alignment: Babyface

Gimmick: He's the honorable, trustworthy, man's man that you'd want your daughter to date. King never cheats. He believes in a fair fight. And he would never hit a lady. He's a bit cocky on the top ropes and diving outside of the ring.

Sample Promo:

"The Fighting Spirit Pro-Wrestling world... is about to see why the King of the Clouds was too much for North America and Mexico. The Fighting Spirit Pro-Wrestlers... are about to see why the skies belong to me. When the Pegasus King comes from the top rope, the match is mine... One. Two... Three."

Entrance Theme: Led Zeppelin - Immigrant Song

Entrance Description (Optional):

The lights go out, and a horse cries out into the arena/venue, thunder and lightning effects strike down towards the entrance way. The music starts. Red and gold lights erupt as the Pegasus King leaps down from seemingly nowhere and/or the sky when the voice of Robert Plant begins to sing 'Aaaaa Aaaaaaah Aaaah'. He stands there breathing in the atmosphere for a moment in an open sleeveless red robe with golden wings designed into the back, only walking forward when actual words come from the mouth of the singer. "Come to the land of the ice and snow..."

He proceeds to the ring to slingshot over the ropes and runs to the opposite top turnbuckle to throw his arms out to the sides like wings before falling back and running to the diagonal opposite corner and doing the same pose. Afterwards he usually jumps slightly in place a bit somewhere in the ring to get the mind right before removing his robe and stretching his arms a bit.

Wrestling Style: Versatile. He can go with just about anybody.

Finishers -
Winged Victory (shooting star splash)
Broken Wing (sharpshooter)

Signature Moves -
Snap Supplex (dynamite fast)
Sling Blade (Rollins/Balor style)
Middle Rope Backflip Slam (the Hangman move Logan Paul used against Mysterio)
Dive Over the Ropes (sometimes its a corkscrew, usually basic)

Other Common Moves -
2nd rope precision elbow (Brett Hart style)
Knee Breaker
Spine Buster
Arm-drag Takedown
Vertical Supplex
Snap Leg Drop
Flying Elbow Strike
Hard Right Hands

the Alliance of Liberty City

The winged Queen of Gold hit the scene like a champ. Wielding a two handed spear she almost sent the behemoth into shock enough to snap out of the mind control. As if the ending was already foretold the woman with the strange skull helmet had disappeared. Was this all a distraction? Several of the heroes questioned just what the hell was going on, and Supercop had hit the scene minutes later to finish with the clean-up and questioning.

"I hate that I missed all the action, kid!" Supercop exclaimed to a worn out Son of Liberty and other heroes.

Painkiller worked with several EMT's off to the side of the scene for several minutes while police finished taking in the still mindf***ed alien formerly known as Kid Cosmo.

"I'm gonna head back to HQ, you gonna come back by after? Might get a few pizza's..."
SoL asked the green clad Painkiller.

"Nah man, I'll probably just call it a night. Using my powers this much usually taxes me..." Painkiller replied.

"Spellbound, you gonna come check out the Freedom Fortress? Or you gotta run errands for one of your relatives again?" Son of Liberty asked his cloaked compatriot.

"Xero! You weren't half bad either my man, you like pizza? Wanna join this hero Alliance I'm putting together?" he asked the other new face in the superhero crowd.

Judah didn't see Sam. The superhumans in civilian clothes always disappeared into the crowds easier. And the Queen usually just came and went with those wings of hers.

Across town...

Judy Juggernaut left the Academy on a motorcycle. She tapped the side of her helmet to activate a communication device of some kind within the helmet.

"Did you get away? I don't care about the alien. Just make sure you're not followed..." she spoke to whomever was on the other end.

Japanese Pro-Wrestling RP (E-Fed Style)

<Snipped quote by Omega Man>
Holy shit, I'm pretty sure you and I were in the same fed on here like years and years and years ago, I remember writing a match against a wrestler like that. The fed ended up fizzling out so I ultimately left the guild to do some wrestling RPs on other sites, but that's so funny to hear you mention it now. Small world.

To answer you question though, this is an RP that will treat wrestling as completely "real" so we are focusing entirely on in-character promos and feuds. We will probably start with a men's division all competing for one World Title, maybe with a secondary title in there as well. If the RP grows, more championships can be added.

@Bonesaw McGraw

I've tried keeping up with WWE, TNA, AEW, AAA Mexico, and some indies this past year but mostly just watch highlights on YouTube and a handful of different wrestling podcasts like Jim Cornette, Shane Douglas, Kevin Nash, Stevie Richards, and Eric Bischoff.

I was thinking of drawing inspiration from the younger Dean Malenko during his Japan run and Benoit during his Pegasus Kid days, and adding a dash of AJ Styles for a masked wrestler called Pegasus King. Red and gold rather than blue and silver. My knowledge of NJPW and AAA Japan is limited to what I know of American wrestlers over there, and a tad bit about the Bullet Club.

DC Reborn

@Cyrania I dig the changes, the Soviet like Martians that are still alive and not possessing the exact powers of MM are intriguing (I'd love to make a few Black Circle members off world Martians), but I did have some questions. If your MM can shapeshift, being locked into the superhero form when in Martian mode doesn't make much sense. Couldn't he just assume a different form entirely and still use the meta-Martian abilities as a hero? And why would Soviet style Martians need to create a superhero if the species is seen as perfect and without crime? Also, on this alternate Earth of ours aliens are more feared in general by this world's governments; Superman's legal papers are constantly questioned in the media thanks to President Luthor.

Aside from all that I'd just give the character a new name for he and his brother to make it yours. Hell you could pull an Invincible and keep the J'onn alias but then make him this universe's shapeshifting Plastic Man. But yeah, call him J'imm J'kson or something.

@Sanity43217 I love this sheet too, he sorta reminds me of the comic version of Savitar. I really dig the constantly moving thing, and transferring speed in combat through his style of fighting, as well as the ricochet aspect. I'd only ask if you could tweak two things. Again, this character is badass and yours... give him another civilian name and arch enemy. The other thing is the skull helmet. Since that's my guy's schtick you think your creepy speedster could wear a mask like guy from the Black Phone? Creepy face with horns essentially?

Creepy guy mask

We get a few more sheets like these two and we'll be in business. Rather than some form of Justice League forming in this universe, with a vampire Batman lurking around we could be more like the Shadowpact, JL Dark, or the Outsiders.
