1. The government caused him a lot of pain when they "tested him".
2. He is a mercenary, and if he's not getting paid to join either side, then whoever is doing right by him is who he's going to join.
3. He doesn't know many key figures of Gotham, as he's more of a street level hero/villian.
4. Here is the link: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=347499

Questions:
1. When will the IC be up?
2. Am I accepted?

Since Doughertania has been involved in this app, he will decide.

*sighs* Let's hope he gets back on soon.

Are you still accepting applications? How...dark am I allowed to get when creating a character? Understandably, I cannot be ridiculously explicit but what would I be allowed to imply?

Well I would assume anything up to pg 13. maybe imply a little beyond that .

Asterdan wrote:Name: Elias Campbell
Alias: Archangel
Age: 25
Side (Hero, Villain, Anti-Hero, Government, etc.): Government Agent, a secret project headed by CADMUS and a department of Wayne Tech.
Appearance and Personality: Archangel is the perfect soldier, willing to do whatever his commanding officer commands.

Abilities and Weapons (Recommended to be as descriptive as Possible): He is able to fly, has superhuman strength, durability, stamina, agility, hearing and vision, and is an expert swordsman, gunman, and hand-to-hand fighter. He can also fire razor-sharp "feathers" from his metallic wings.
Weakness(es) (Required but could be as simple as "Human", "Poor Fighter", or more complex like "Leaves Riddles at Crime Scene"): While more durable and agile, he can still be killed with common weapons.
Biography (4-5 Line Minimum, unique characters should have backstories, Marvel Characters should have an explanation): Elias Campbell was an accomplished soldier with three tours under his belt. He always followed orders and did what had to be done to complete a mission, which is why he was chosen for Project Archangel, funded by the Military Budget of Wayne Tech and headed by Project CADMUS. Using a new techno-organic technique, they slowly turned Elias into an android of sorts. They allowed him to keep his memories, as they thought that it would be of use to him. They decided to release Archangel into Gotham as a test run of sorts.
RP Sample: [refers to Hyena application]

Reviewing app.

Edit: Accepted

If it is overtly sexual or extremely graphic the mods can get mad, but you can get pretty dark. I've played a murderous cannibal before.

What I have so far is that my character was a male GCPD officer who had a penchant for wearing women's clothing and, whenever he was free, worked nights as a drag queen to both fulfil his cross-dressing desire and supplement his income. However, during one such performance, a group of drunk GCPD officers wandered into a club where he was working, subsequently recognized him and he was promptly ejected from the Force; bear in mind, this is all pre-Gordon (Commissioner Loeb was less tolerant of...diversity in the workplace). Harbouring anti-establishment sentiments and wanting to purge Gotham of corruption, my character would take to the streets to pursue their own sense of justice, albeit a violent and more agressive version than that practiced by other costumed vigilantes (i.e. Batman). As for their appearance...imagine something reminiscent of the Question; a kind of noir-esque, trench coat and fedora style. I'll have an application up with the details in a bit but this is a basic outline of my chracter.

Alias: Clark Kent,Ka'lel
Age: Unknown
Side (Hero, Villain, Anti-Hero, Government, etc.): Hero
Appearance and Personality:
For his personality,Superman can be rough and destructive,although his emotions can get in the way of that. Superman is not as cold as some people think,and is often fueled by doubt and questions.
Abilities and Weapons (Recommended to be as descriptive as Possible):http://www.comicvine.com/profile/supefan98/blog/superman-s-powers-and-weaknesses/83702/
Weakness(es) (Required but could be as simple as "Human", "Poor Fighter", or more complex like "Leaves Riddles at Crime Scene"): Its mostly described in the given link for powers and abilities,but since I'm aiming for a more man of steel character (easier to follow),but Superman has a weakness for the the deaths of civilians and even certain villains.
Biography (4-5 Line Minimum, unique characters should have backstories, Marvel Characters should have an explanation): Since I'm aiming for a Man of Steel character,this happens a few years after the death of General Zod. Superman finds himself willing to fight crime in order to stay non hostile (Due to the fears of him wrecking another city and himself appearing a villain). This is all supposed to be what adds up to superman v batman in the movie,but I will try to dodge that happening.
RP Sample: (I can't link the RPs because I'm on phone,but I can easily name a few) Hounds of Heaven,Project Warfighter,Adventures through the multiverse,and My regional RP. I have one that I had to leave for other RPs,Galactic Powerplay.

Its actually 'Kal-El' - not 'Kal'lel'.

Earth 2's version however is called 'Kal-L'.

But its always an 'el' sound - never a 'lel' sound. Superman hails from the House of El remember.

Name: Special Agent Zachary Bellick
Alias: Nightwatch
Age: 42
Side: Government/Hero
Appearance and Personality:
Personality: Zachary is cool and professional, never succumbing to stress or immense anger. He is very neutral due to his training overall, but he works well with others and is a very good team player.
Abilities and Weapons: Peak human senses: He can see, hear, etc, better than most people; Superhuman marksmanship; Peak intelligence; master investigator; expert in hand to hand combat; titanium exoskeleton: gives super human strength, super human sight and hearing, infrared vision, night vision, blast protection, super human agility and reflexes, the ability to climb vertical inclines, super human jumping, bullet proof(in places), and access to information immediately through the internet.
Weakness(es): Human, has no real abilities without his exoskeleton or firearms besides his above average intelligence, senses, and skill in hand to hand combat.
Biography (4-5 Line Minimum, unique characters should have backstories, Marvel Characters should have an explanation): Zachary was born in the suburbs of Philadelphia. He lived a nice, middle class life, full of sports, friends, and anything a typical kid could want. After highschool, he went to the University of California, and got a B.A. in Criminology. The DEA picked him up, during which time he was sent to Colombia and the Mexican border on many occasions to fight drug trafficking. But, money and power corrupted him. He began selling evidence, taking bribes, and even selling arms to the enemy while obstructing investigations. The FBI discovered these actions and took him into custody, offering to wipe his slate clean in exchange for service due to his skill and having no choice. So of course, he agreed. They retrained him, borderline brainwashing him to not be corrupt or greedy, and altered his nervous system and organs to be in peak condition. Then, they equipped him with an experimental exoskeleton purchased from DARPA, and send him to GC, seperate from their other operations there, to work alone and clandestinely, as a vigilante aiding the local law enforcement.

Interesting. He is similar to both of them.

I was trying to make a government equipped, government sanctioned Batman with less tech and more guns.

Name: Oswald Cobblepot
Alias: The Penguin
Age: Mid Thirties
Side (Hero, Villain, Anti-Hero, Government, etc.): Villain
Appearance and Personality:

Penguin is self-centered, always trying to find the best angle for himself. He also fancies himself a gentleman, and tries to distance himself from his criminal activities whenever possible.

Abilities and Weapons (Recommended to be as descriptive as Possible): Penguin has built up an impressive empire in his time in Gotham. While he has a hand in most underworld operations, his specialty is smuggling and information. He has eyes everywhere, including other gangs, and he owns a few dummy corporations which help smuggle his wares. He inspires loyalty in his men, and has a knack for making evidence that would indite him disappear. Penguin also has trick umbrellas, which can do things from fire bullets to fly like a helicopter.

Weakness(es) (Required but could be as simple as "Human", "Poor Fighter", or more complex like "Leaves Riddles at Crime Scene"): Despite judo training and being fairly fast and agile, his small stature doesn't lend itself well in a fight against a more skilled opponent like Batman. As such, he relies on his muscle to do the fighting for him. Penguin also is concerned with keeping his empire and his name clean, making blackmail an option.

Biography (4-5 Line Minimum, unique characters should have backstories, Marvel Characters should have an explanation): Oswald Cobblepot was often bullied as child for his appearance. Due to his long nose, short stature, and being forced to carry around an umbrella, he was given the nickname "the Penguin." When he finished schooling, Cobblepot embraced the name and took on his families fortune. From there he started a casino know as the Iceberg Lounge, which would serve as his headquarters for both his legal and illicit operations. Having never felt acceptance, he was determined to find a way to be accepted by Gotham, either through fear or respect.

Currently, he has been keeping himself busy for the new mayor elections. He wishes to run, and with a large amount of capital at his disposal, he could very well be the next mayor of Gotham. His criminal activities are still numerous and active, but so far there is no solid case that would put Penguin behind bars.

RP Sample: See above links.

Truth be told I never really liked that version. I liked him as I have him: a man trying to show Gotham he belongs.

If I post an app for Solomon grundy could I have him be in the Employ/ being coerced by one of the Main batman villains as a henchmen of sorts. that or have him escape from Arkham.

Well, is he going to be semi intelligent like in the justice league cartoons or Injustice? Or is an animalistic brute like in the Arkham games?

I as thinking animalistic with periods of full lucidity, I was also thinking whoever he works for has him drugged with something tailored to his physiology, that prevents most of his consciousness from surfacing, then he would be like the Arkham version.
