Congrats; you've been selected for the Elseworlds TPs cast of high heroics and low villainy. There will be one or two more before the TP actually kicks in, but since everyone's all happy about finding out who's doing what with their Pulpified character, and since you've been hanging in there for a week or too...only seems fair. Lex Luthor-Possibly the greatest living inventor of his time, Luthor becomes an integral part of a fascist plot involving his incredible invention; the Lexatron! Will Lex's brilliance be his downfall? What role does he play in the secret plan to rule the world? The fate of millions rests on these questions! Thomas Monaghan- The G-Men have a whole case file on this underworld enforcer, and there's more than enough cement-shod bodies at the bottom of the East River thanks to him. The right hand man of the infamous Sean 'Uncle' Noonan, and equipped with his deadly automatics and brutal fists, Monaghan is as tough as they come! Hal Jordan- A daring pilot and adventurer, Jordan is a rough-and-ready man of action. His penchant for booze is almost as hazardous as his habit of getting into the middle of trouble. With his trusty plane (the Green Lantern), and his iron nerve, though, he may just be a match to the sinister fascist scheme! Dinah "The Canary" Lance- A tall curvy drink of water, this blonde femme fatale has a past as sordid as they come. She's also got the face and voice of an angel. The hottest torcher in town, she's a handful for anyone who crosses her path. Who's side is she on? Is she concealing a heart of gold...or just a gun holstered in her garter belt? Time will tell! Jack Radipan- The famed host of the Coolgate Comedy Hour, this talented comedian is not only a beloved funnyman (the "Joker" to his adoring audience), but an expert chemist! Years ahead of others in his field, he spends his time when not getting the yuks by breaking new ground in the sciences...always in the service of Good! He is known to the heroic community of the city as one of the most valuable advisors and gadgeteers around. These skills will be put to the test when the world is trembling at the approach of a fascist overthrow! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3 From: Ozymandias At: Thu Jul 24 20:21:51 1997 Fldr : 0 Status: Read To : Tommy, Martian Manhunter, Impulse, Parallax, Black Canary, Joker, Superboy, Guy Gardner Subject: Pulp TP Cast So Far --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Shade- Mysterious envoy of the night; despised saboteur and criminal mastermind; ruthless enigma....these words all describe the man known only as The Shade. Credited with hundreds of crimes before and after the Great War, the Shade has recently allied himself with a ring of evil so great in its treachery, that even he may feel well-accompanied! His loyalties to any and all sides may be doubted, but one cannot doubt this; The Shade is death to most men, and a great nemesis to others! Bart Allen- A spunky orphan kid from the wrong side of the tracks, this hearty newsboy is about to be cast into the greatest adventure he has ever known! Prodigious in his ability to be at the wrong place at the right time (or vice versa), Bart will inevitably attach himself to our intrepid heroes. His rambunctious nature is sure to be the cause of much mischeif before his role is finished...if its for good or ill, time will only tell! Boy of Tommorow- The result of an attempt to create an army of ubermensch, the Boy of Tommorow arose one dark night in a Nazi lab...and soon began a crusade against the forces of tyranny the world over! Gifted with nearly a perfect physique and extremely sharp mind, the Boy came to the city to seek safe haven for his fatherly creator, Doctor Hemingway, and the good doctor's daughter. Allying himself with the greatest heroes of the age, he has proven himself a worthy comrade time and again. Guy Gardner- A former gunrunner in North Africa and in Europe, this hardbitten and expert soldier-of-fortune has set down his stakes in a ritzy nightclub (name still undecided...ideas welcome). As the owner and operator of the hottest joint in town, he has gotten to know the crowds, from the politicians and power brokers, to the lowest snitch and two-bit shamus. His 'partner', Sean 'Uncle' Noonan has begun making things harder for him, and one wonders if he's as cynical as he pretends to be. Perhaps he will again be an ally in the fight against fascist agression... OK. Thats it for now; there /will/ be some Temped NPC bad guys, and hopefully one or two more characters. As it is though...looks pretty neat, don't it? @mail me and whoever else I mentioned if you have any ideas for linking yourselves up all proper like. Ideas for the name of the pivotal nightclub that Canary, Guy, and Tommy all hang out are especially welcome. As for when we start; One week and a few days sound good to you? I need to cobble together the necessary buildings (another area in which assistance is appreciated), but, after that, we should be ready to go. Thanks again, all of you. Great character concepts. I hope you're all as excited about this TP as I am. :) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4 From: Ozymandias At: Mon Jul 28 21:19:18 1997 Fldr : 0 Status: Read To : Martian Manhunter, Tommy, The Shade, Poison Ivy, Parallax, Supergirl, Impulse, Superboy, Black Canary, Joker, Gordon, Guy Gardner Subject: The Last Of The Pulp Cast --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here's the late arrivals. Welcome additions all. Mae Kent- Department head of archaeology at the prestigious Metropolis University, Miss Kent is more than just one of the world's greatest authorities on ancient artifacts. A daring explorer of the unknown and general do-gooder, her beauty, intellect, and charm are matched by her gutsiness and ability to handle herself in a rough spot. No wilting scholarly flower here...this is a Lady of Action! James Gordon- 'The Freeze'...Franco Spinozi...Waylon 'Crocodile' Jones...all at one time on the FBI's Most Wanted List. And, like many of the other perps on that list, all of them were brought down by one man...James Gordon, G-Man extraordinaire. A gangbusting no-nonsense agent, Gordon has become something of a media darling, and there are rumors of him being asked to host his own radio program. But, as any criminal in the know will tell you...there's more to Gordon than just the press...when he locks his sights on you, you're as good as Alcatraz-bait...or six-feet under thanks to his trusty Tommy Gun. Bruce Wayne- His parents were two of Gotham's wealthiest and most glamorous. When the Depression hit, though, the family holdings went down the drain; some people say thats why they were gunned down 'accidentally' by some of Sean 'Uncle' Noonan's men in a street war a few years back...Dr. Wayne is rumored to have borrowed a few too many times to keep up the Wayne image. Whatever the case, their kid grew up wanting to bust the bad guys. To see 'justice' done. He ended up in the Gotham PD, probably the most corrupt bunch of lawmen this side of Chi-town. Somehow, though, he kept at it. Became a decorated hero to some, a reviled pretty-boy to others. He helped to bring down some of the crookedest cops in the town, and their underworldpals. He was too good at his job. Even as special investigator to D.A. Harvey Dent, he got the runaround. Death threats. The rest. One day, he got sick of it, and quit. Now, he's faded into obscurity. People say he has an office on the southside of town...that he's a gumshoe. Private eye. Shamus. And he's about to get involved in the biggest case of his life. Okay, thats it. Everybody who I've mentioned who /hasn't/ gotten the previous two Cast @mails from me or anyone else should ask for it. Knowing who's what could prove real helpful for RP, and reduce the amount of 'establishing scenes' I'll need to do. Thanks. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5 From: Ozymandias At: Mon Jul 28 21:46:44 1997 Fldr : 0 Status: Read To : Martian Manhunter, Tommy, The Shade, Poison Ivy, Parallax, Supergirl, Impulse, Superboy, Black Canary, Joker, Gordon, Guy Gardner Subject: Oops. One more. :) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oops...missed someone. Sorry, Ivy. Pamela "Poison Ivy" Isley- A daughter of the West who was lost in the Orient after her family's slaughter in a colonial uprising. Left alone to her own devices, she soon learned the harsh realities of the streets, and was forged by the fire of her horrible experiences as an orphan girl into a steely and implacable woman of the underworld. The cunning mistress behind an Opium smuggling organization of her own devising, she has branched her slender fingers into nearly every evil known to the East and West. She is not above using her infamous skills as a seductress to advance her profits, or to rid herself of pesky annoyances, such as the police, customs agents, or competitors. Now her wealth will be increased if she can serve the purposes of the Nazi menace...and one doubts that this Dragon Lady With A Green Thumb will not be pivotal in the injustices yet to come... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
