Omega Man

DC Reborn

Still waiting for another finished CS or two before I get the IC going. Hopefully this weekend we'll hear from a couple people!

DC Reborn

Just tagging everybody who submitted a CS or showed interest again! Where'd everybody go?!

@Silver Carrot - Mary Marvel
@Cyrania - (Martian) Plastic Man
@Sanity43217 - Speed Demon (I think you mentioned changing characters?)
@Eviledd1984 - Hangman (I know you had to drop Liberty City, wasn't sure about this)
@Neziul - Tarantula

@Azure Bubbles - ??? Beetle
@Ultimate Spidey - ???

And also... @Athol I can dig it. I've always wanted to see a heroic version of the guy just called Savage. Vandal always seemed like more of a nickname after he'd done some heathen shit for a few centuries.

DC Reborn

@Cyrania Post that in the Character Tab, it's already been approved!!!

DC Reborn

the Deadman

Character/Concepts Used - Deadman, Green Lantern

Alias - the Deadman
Age - 27 (but DOA)
Personality - stoic, mysterious, blunt, distant, reckless (mostly in combat)
Alignment - good
Archetype - Supernatural
Powers -

Regeneration: While always in a state of decay, D always comes back to his usual zombie visage in time and can even remove and reattach his own limbs.

Heightened Attributes: Stronger, faster, with increased endurance and durability, as well as no need for food or oxygen.

Invisibility: JD can fade out like a ghost and become invisible for short periods.

Flight: his top speed is less than 200 mph, and he generally flies low due to frequently getting lost.

Skills/Equipment - Flunked out of the Air Force in his early 20's. Decent H2H skills. His powers are granted to him by the mystical green Lantern that brought him back to life.

Weaknesses - While a little tougher than a standard human, anybody with strength or blasting power can annihilate this guy. He'll regenerate completely in about twenty four hours.

Arch Enemy - the Spectre, powered by this universe's red lantern

Appearance - see the new avatar

BRIEF Bio -

JD flunked out of the Air Force after learning of his parents dying in a car accident back in his hometown of Gotham. He hadn't been back to that hellhole in years, but after losing his latest job as well as his girlfriend... he decided to pay his parents' graves a visit after a few years had passed. Still sporting a bomber jacket he talked quietly to his parents' headstones when he could hear some weirdos nearby. A dirty old green lantern on a mausoleum flickered to life in the pouring rain and one of the local gang members used the lantern to strike JD in the back of the head, killing him on the spot.

The lantern was dropped to the ground as the three men rolled the body and took his shoes, jacket, wallet, etc. Thunder crashed and the lantern flickered to life once more several days later, this time resurrecting the man's body in the morgue. He reached out for the men but they were long gone, so he sought out the lantern. The lantern glowed brighter than ever before now granting real power to the undead man who now had a suit and powers he'd never dreamed of. After locating his attackers he seemingly ate their corrupted souls and upon returning to the lantern in the cemetery JD regurgitated them into the lantern. He also got his coat back. Now he defends those in Gotham who can't defend themselves as... the Deadman.

Notes - Deadman operates out of an old mausoleum in the Gotham cemetery he was reborn in. Rather than Deadman being tied to some random deity I just made his power source the lantern and did the three step thing like Alan Scott's lantern had, and just changed the end result up a bit.

DC Reborn

An alien menace news media outlets are calling the Black Circle has began raiding several warehouses in Central City [Kansas] and it's sister city across the bridge Keystone City. The Superman hasn't been seen in weeks and is thought to be off world. Batman stays in Gotham and is only ever seen at night. Meanwhile, Wonder Woman was last seen in Europe after the new King and Queen were crowned. Central City and Keystone City aren't the only towns being invaded either. In a matter of weeks, other large cities in America began seeing humanoid alien goons in several dozen locations. Midway City [Michigan], Coast City [California], Star City [Washington], and St. Roch [Louisiana] have all been invaded with what appears to be an 'alien criminal organization.'

Batman has already come into contact with the aliens with the strange black circle brand or mark. He's tracked most of them to a chemical warehouse down near the Gotham Harbor. However, until recently he had the disadvantage of being outnumbered. While other heroes had began showing up in and around the Gotham area, Thomas Wayne's old friend Stephen Oliver was in town. Using a power suit more durable than a tank, faster than any fighter jet, and able to fly great distances on a single power cell... Oliver is secretly a one man army corps codenamed: Green Arrow.

What heroes will rise to stop this alien threat? Which villains will reemerge once the aliens have left cities vulnerable? Welcome... to DC Reborn.

______________________________________________

In this RP, players will get the chance to recreate some of the bigger DC properties in a similar fashion to what happened when the Golden Age was replaced by the Silver Age. The Atom went from being a little person with an atomic punch to what we have today in Ray Palmer using tech to shrink to atomic size. Green Lantern changed from a man in a cape with a supernatural ring of power into a space cop armed with the same type of ring only as part of a larger Corps. I know what you guys are thinking. "How is this unlike any game that came before?" And the answer is simple. Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman will remain mostly unchanged though I may make some tweaks to their histories [they're Gods and Monsters inspired]. EVERYTHING ELSE IS DETERMINED BY YOU. You can take ANY DC Comics character or concept and completely change it up to suit your tastes. Any enemies I introduce in this after the Black Circle will be tied to Justice League-centric baddies as well as several of Superman's enemies and factions within the DCU. ARGUS is still our answer to SHIELD, STAR Labs is still a thing, and Lex Luthor is president in Trump like fashion. He demands to see 'Superman's legal papers' for instance because the world doesn't know Superman was actually the first alien to call Earth home.

Here's what I've got for the Big Three...

____________________________________

The Trinity

Superman - Crash landed in Kansas in 1938, he took the name Clark Kent for a little more than twenty years until he became adjusted to how things worked on Earth. He began operating as Superman and was dubbed the first metahuman in 1960. In 2026, it looks like he might be twenty years older. The only signs of age are his facial hair and attitude. He built a fortress in Antarctica and saves the world when he has nothing else to do. Lately he's defended larger cities such as Tokyo, Metropolis, Coast City, Paris, and Cairo.

Batman - Doctor Thomas Wayne was a brilliant scientist and chemical researcher in Gotham who was looking into making a pill to grant longer lifespans [inspired by the ageless Superman]. After some experiments go horribly wrong, Wayne is left in a vampire like state and must feed on the blood of his enemies every so often to survive. At first he hunted criminals at night to survive, but since 2016 he's turned his nightlife into a war on crime.

Wonder Woman - The most like her original, Princess Diana was chosen to go out into man's world in 2018 after living on the hidden Paradise Island with her Amazon sisters for nearly seven centuries. The Amazons are more technologically advanced in this universe, WW's sole weapon now being a sword fashioned with Mother Box tech and teleportation capabilities. The Amazons themselves being an offshoot of the New Gods in this universe.

The only other concept I'm gonna use as an NPC, unless somebody has another idea for it, is the Green Arrow. Mentioned in the above synopsis, Stephen Oliver is now a friend of Batman and uses a flying power armor suit.

________________________________________________

So that's everything up to now. Accepted players I've already talked with in the Interest Check can go ahead and repost your sheets in the Character Tab. For anyone else looking into this, check out the Interest Check for other details and some random concepts I threw out to the group for ideas. If you've already been accepted and want to change up characters before we get the IC going just DM me the new Character Sheet. I'll shoot for the IC sometime this week, just depends how quick everyone in the house gets over this allergy problem. I usually do most of my RP'ing on the weekends between Friday evening and Monday. If I don't touch base during the work week that's why, I just work long hours four days a week.

DC Reborn

Was giving this interest check a little more time, I'll have an OOC ready sometime tomorrow!!!

EDIT: It'll have to wait till morning, my four year old keeps waking up!!! Sorry for the delay!!!!

DC Reborn

@Neziul I dig the changes. Puts me in the mind of Goliath from the Council of Spiders in the pre New52 Red Robin series. I like the inclusion of Dr. Poison as well. Just remember if he fought WW, its a version of WW mixed with the Gods & Monsters version so she's more like a New God than a traditional Amazonian. They're still fierce and female, but now they possess Motherbox tech and teleportation capabilities.

EDIT: Just saw you had Goliath in the top of the CS and I completely missed it LOL

DC Reborn

Myself - Deadman
@Silver Carrot - Mary Marvel
@Cyrania - (Martian) Plastic Man

Just tagging everybody who submitted a CS or showed interest! Been a long week with all of the snow but I should have the OOC finished soon. There's still plenty of room if anyone wants to reinvent a DC character or make a somewhat fusion of concepts which I think is what most of this has turned into LOL. I'll try and get a discord going as well so this RP doesn't overtake my Liberty City channel...

FIGHTING SPIRIT PRO-WRESTLING

@Bonesaw McGraw Yeah man I'll try and get it moved over today to the character tab. I've had a rough week with all of this snow, almost died after my truck slid on some ice Wedbesday, and now today's my wife's birthday. I couldn't catch a break rn if I had to. I should be able to do more on my laptop once my daughter goes to her grandparents for the rest of the day in a couple hours. Can't ever copy/baste anything right on my phone...
