Suicide Squad: Take 2

[VonDoom]

No one likes poor Fiddler.  :'(  :P

[Giantmutantcrab]

I like the Fiddler.  ^_^

But shoudn't he be calling himself the Violinist instead?  Because that's not a fiddle, it's a violin...

*has a bit of a fanboy crush on White Rabbit and was planning on playing that a lil bit in the RP*

[VonDoom]

Do not question the Fiddler on the subject of fiddles! :P

... and I was more hoping for attractive female human characters. :P

[Giantmutantcrab]

Hey, the Fiddler and Puma could totally start a bromance together.

There's several advantages to having a close friend who's also a super-powered anthro.  He keeps you warm a night, leaves dead animals on your bed as signs of affection...

[RampantDesires]

I didn't really know much about Fiddler until I looked him up (which can be said for like almost all the characters here  which is kind of the point)  But this made me laugh inappropriately hard

Portable Vibrator: The Fiddler created a portable vibrator...

...which could bridge the gap between parallel worlds. He used this to transport himself, the Wizard and the Icicle to Earth-One, and also used it to bring Doctor Alchemy, Chronos and Felix Faust from Earth-One to Earth-Two. He also used this device to trap Barry Allen and Jay Garrick in the space between dimensions. It is unknown whether the Fiddler still possessed such a device following the Crisis on Infinite Earths

Bahahaha.  I still chuckle.  Part of my brain might still be in junior high, I can't help it. Also I'd very much like to hear the conversation with the body shop owner when it came time to commission the Fiddle Car!

Nothing against your lovely characters, but most everyone is just ... a little too out there for Jania.  Either on the crazy or unusual scale.

I deliberately picked the character because she'd give me a chance to play two very different totally hot lady types.  The drama of them occasionally sharing mind space while having such drastically different views/needs/ideas pleases me to no end. Unless our lovely GM objects I'll almost be running them like two separate characters.  Rabbit's going to be very go with the flow whatever feels good do it.  She shall flirt with everyone male, female, robot, alien (unless you tell me it makes you uncomfortable then I'll back it off :P) but as far as sexy time? Oh no my dear, you have to CHASE her! Relationships? Monogamy? Love? Ick, sounds boring, hey what's over there?!  At best she's looking TO mate.  Big picture Jania's more looking for A mate, well in theory at least, you know, less bumping uglies, more lasting ties, shared goals and what not.

I forget what my original point here was, and I should probably take my rambling self over to the OOC page :P

[VonDoom]

Of course! His fantastic inventions make him one of the most popular men in prison! ... and one of the most hated, because the Portable Vibrator keeps all the ladies non-pent up.  ;D

But not to worry. All shall dance to the Fiddler's tune, sooner or later!  >:) O:) >:)

[VonDoom]

You know there's an edit button, right?  :P

And it even acts as if there's a new reply if the last one to post edits his or hers.

[Garuss Vakarian]

I like the Fiddler.  ^_^

Lol, Fiddle is another name for the bowed string musical instrument more often called a violin. It is also a colloquial term for the instrument used by players in all genres, including classical music. Fiddle playing, or fiddling, which could refer to various styles of music. So ya, it is a violin, but also a fiddle. xD The more you know~

Well, Rampant I do believe I have been convinced to aim towards Vertigo! in fact he would probably be more received then Zaaz. :P Ha ha. I will also see about playing a second character, be a female character for the rp as well.

Seems we currently do need female characters. I think I will see about asking a few friends around and see where it gets me.

[VonDoom]

That was the brain washed double.  ::)

And is that thin model Waller? *shudders*

[Garuss Vakarian]

Lol. What a funny comic panel xD .

Code Name:  Count Vertigo

Real Name: Werner Vertigo
Description: A tall, blond male, with blue eyes. Has a strong pasture, and physically has an athletic build.

Powers/Skills/Gadgets:

Vertigo Effect: His "Vertigo Effect" has long since been internalized. He uses his power to disrupt his enemies' balance. Vertigo uses his power to disorient his opponents as well as to disrupt the aim of gunmen, snipers and the like. His ability is also capable of disrupting guidance systems on missiles, vehicles and detection systems of all kind (lasers, cameras, pressure sensitive floor plates, infra-red, thermal and night vision). His effect does not just disrupt balance physically but emotionally too, such as forcing physically stable enemies to experience extreme fear or rage.

Flight

Abilities
Hand-to-Hand Combat (Advanced): Being raised in a noble family, Vertigo was trained in classical martial combat and the sports of boxing, He has also been trained in judo and general karate.
Fencing
Equestrianism

Weaknesses
Technological Reliability: Count Vertigo had cochlear implants installed as a small child. If his implants are damaged or absorb frequencies too high for them to process, he is unable to use his Vertigo Effect and experiences crippling pain.

Major Crimes of Note:
First Crime- Stole priceless jewelry dating back to his own family's history. Parents sold them years ago to escape to england after having to flee their country.

War Crimes- Werner is no innocent, he in fact was a member of the Suicide Squad before. Has long since left the squad and been a rebel, attempting to gain control of his home country Vlatava! And rightfully so! However lately he is the ruler of dust, rubble and death. Through the coarse of the rebellion, and through the thoughtless, hateful and sinful actions of his own people. He was visited by a being known as the Spectre. Whom looking upon his country was so disgusted, his judgement left it in ruins. he... Well, only the Count, their esteemed and rightful ruler. And, the countries president. remains... Of coarse who would... Ha ha... Possibly believe a spirit came out of nowhere and eviscerated your country. Much easier to believe they are the victims of a mad man seeking to be their ruler. Which, in a way, is not far from the truth.

Personality:
Vertigo: “I fear I am at a disadvantage here. There has been no proper introduction, and under the circumstances if I know you I must fight you. I dislike raising a hand to a woman.”
Lady Liberty (attacking him): “But I like raising a hand against impostors and hypocrites.”
Vertigo (raising a hand, and foot, to a woman): “I — an impostor?!? Strumpet! Harlot! Insult my royal personage ! Debase my title!”

Aristocratic and aloof, Vertigo can sometimes take easy offence at affronts to his pride, depending on his mood. He has a degree of honor in that he won’t kill incapacitated opponents, and he’s relatively loyal to his teammates (as long as he’s a willing member of the team), but his temper can easily overcome his lip-service to courteous behavior. For the early portion of his career he was governed by his manic-depressive impulses, and he’d be stuck in a cycle of lethargy, despair, and mania. While lethargic and depressive states left him lacking the impetus to do much, his manic phase generally saw an increase in his temper, and this was the phase during which most of his villainous activity would have been conducted.

History: 

The last descendant of the royal family of the Eastern European country of Vlatava, his family fled to Britain when their country fell to the Soviets, where Werner was raised in exile.
Having a serious medical condition affecting his inner ear, he required a specialised hearing aid to be implanted in his right temple. He learned how to use it to project the feelings of disorientation it suppressed in him onto others.

Count Vertigo
His first costumed appearance was in Star City, where he attempted to steal the jewels his parents had sold to fund themselves on first escaping Vlatava. This brought him into conflict with Green Arrow and Black Canary for the first, but not last, time, and this career ended with him imprisoned in Belle Reve.

Suicide Squad
Agreeing to serve on the Suicide Squad in order to see his sentence reduced, Vertigo was initially among the more reluctant members, being inclined to join any attempt to revolt and free themselves, but did eventually come to see the group as a kind of home. As part of his psychological and medical screening, he learned he had a hereditary bipolar disorder, which caused his manic depressive mood swings. It was during one such extreme that he agreed to join Duchess’ mini-revolt as she abducted a number of Squad members to accompany her back to Apokolips. Trying to use his power on the New God, Kanto, Vertigo found him immune to it, and received a blade in the stomach for his effort. While it dropped him, he survived, and caught Kanto from behind, stabbing him with his own weapon. Badly injured, Vertigo survived the trip back to Earth, although recovery took time.

Homecoming
The Squad had disbanded by the time he’d recovered, and the free Vertigo was approached by Vlatavan rebels to lead them in overthrowing the Soviet-backed government. He readily accepted, but the rebel leadership was more interested in him as a figurehead than an actual ruler, and they used a variety of drugs to counter his mental problems and keep him a useful tool. The conflict with the Russians had spread to the US, due to factions within the US government secretly funding the Vlatavan rebels. Through time, the rebelion waged. Vertigo found his country split along ethnic lines, the bloody civil war raging threatened to rip it apart. He now led the rebel forces against the government army, with neither side seeming to gain any real advantage. When the emotionally distraught Spectre arrived to render judgement on the country, he was horrified by the hate seemingly ingrained into the land, the Spectre cleansed the entire country, killing everyone but the President and Vertigo.

That was the brain washed double.  ::)

And is that thin model Waller? *shudders*

See?  Even a douche like Deadshot is able to see a difference between a fiddle and a violin.

And I remember Waller as being black?  Also, I would have her knees checked out.  Those things aren't supposed to be bending inwards like that.  Looks like some serious osteoporosis going on. o.O

[Caradoc]

And is that thin model Waller? *shudders*

No, that was Scandal Savage, leader of that version of the Secret Six.

[VonDoom]

... huh. Her early appearance was quite different from her main design in Secret Six. Thanks.

[Caradoc]

No problem. If I remember that panel right, that's actually her first appearance.

[Garuss Vakarian]

Scandal? Isnt that the duaghter of Randal Savage or am I mistaken? From brazil right?

[Caradoc]

Scandal? Isnt that the duaghter of Randal Savage or am I mistaken? From brazil right?

Scandal is the daughter of VANDAL Savage. He's an immortal from  the caveman era.

[Garuss Vakarian]

Lol I know who Vandal is, Randal was just a typo sorry. Just wasnt sure on Scandal. Edit: What you think I live under a rock? * Da da tch* Ha ha.

[Batman4560]

For sure I'm interested in this and I have an idea for a character. :) If you guys are still taking writers?

[Kadigan]

Yes. Still looking for active players.

[Batman4560]

Cool, I'll try to put something together this weekend. :D

[Kadigan]

Also vertigo looks good

[PhantomPistoleer]

Code Name: The Joker

Real Name: Jack Napier

Description:  The basics are still there.  He bears a wide, maniacal smile, with sharp ivory teeth savagely gritting behind red ruby lips.  His skin is bleached, his hair is nearly neon green.  He wears a purple suit, somewhat tattered by the nature of his work.  His limbs are long and drawn, and his figure is somewhat thin, though it could be said that it is quite sickly.  An astounding prescience lies dormant behind his acidic stare.

Powers/Skills/Gadgets:
Unique Physiology:  The Joker's exposure to toxins has altered his appearance and his genetic composition.  He is highly resistant to pain and immune to to his own chemical concoctions.

Indomitable Will:  The Joker's insanity, namely his inability to distinguish between right and wrong, makes it nearly impossible for telepaths to traverse across his mindscape.

Genius Level Intellect:  The Joker is highly intelligent and skilled in chemistry, engineering, and explosives.

Comedic Weapons:  Though the Joker is highly proficient with firearms and unarmed combat, he prefers to use various "comedic weapons" like razor-sharp playing cards, acid-spewing flowers, cyanide pies, and lethally electric joy buzzers, as well as laugh-inducing Joker Venom.

Major Crimes of Note:

[Kadigan]

No, I'm sorry but I'm going to have to say no to the joker.

[PhantomPistoleer]

No, I'm sorry but I'm going to have to say no to the joker.

Ah, understood.  :)
