What Is Going On!?

[The Joker]

First and foremost... READ THE RULES PLEASE! I know you don't want to, and we don't want you to have to, but we will freak out on everybody if you don't. Seriously. It'll take two minutes and then you'll never have to see them again. Trust me, we didn't want to write the damn thing, but we did so you can at least appreciate our work.

Alright, so here's the deal folks. On this forum everyone who signs up gets one primary character and five secondary characters. Each member is allowed only ONE canon character. What's a canon character, you ask? A canon character is any character that has already been published and has a back story, etc, etc. Such as Catwoman, Flash, Spider-man, Green Goblin, etc. For this forum we're going to stick strictly to COMIC BOOK CANON CHARACTERS. Yes, characters like Jason Voorhees and John McClain also count as canons, but like I said, we're going to stay with comic canons for this forum. ;D

SO. When you sign up, any username is fine. However, once you have become a member, you must decide who you want your primary character to be. If you want to be a canon, you MUST CHECK THE LIST OF TAKEN CANON CHARACTERS, which can be found in the Canon Characters category. Once you have chosen a canon character that IS NOT LISTED, go to the Canon Bios board and follow the directions there for signing up.

[VERY IMPORTANT!!!! WHEN WANTING TO BE A CANON CHARACTER PLEASE DO NOT RIGHT AWAY TAKE THAT CHARACTER AS YOUR OWN. LIKE EVERYONE ELSE YOU MUST SEND IN YOUR BIO/WHAT NOT FOR THAT CHARACTER AND WAIT TO BE APPROVED. EVEN IF ONE OF US LIKES YOUR STYLE THE OTHER MAY NOT SO BE AWARE!]

If you want your primary character to be an original character, follow the directions under the Original Bios board to sign up for one.

We will decide if you are fit for the character (for canons) and whether or not we like your character (for originals) and reply to your thread with our answer. IF AND ONLY IF you are accepted, you may modify your profile and change your display name to your character's name, request an avatar of your character, change your location, etc, etc.

From that point on, you will always be in character unless otherwise noted in your posts or messages. For us, these rule boards do not count since The Joker would never be making all these rules and things in the first place, so there's really no way to jokerize what I have to say...

***This means that no matter what you are doing, posting, messaging, or chatting, you will BE your primary character AT ALL TIMES!!! Unless you are in specifically non-primary areas such as fanfics, secondary character rps, etc. Or if you specifically state in your post or message that you are out of character (OOC:)***

Also after you are accepted, your brand new MENTOR will message you, welcoming you to their team! Yaaaaay! *thunderous applause* This is explained more in the "Mentors" thread, but basically that will be the person you go to if you need help with ideas or technical issues with the site or trouble understanding how the forum works, anything at all!

So until next time, friends! Same blond hair, same rap channel! Good night everyone! Your host for the evening-"Marshall!" Oh.

Muahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[The Joker]

THE JOKER

BIO: The Joker has a few different background stories, but the most commonly accepted has to do with him being a failing comedian with a pregnant wife. He agrees to help some thugs break into a chemical plant he used to work at in order to earn some extra money for his family. A few hours before the crime, however, he finds out that his wife and unborn child are both dead, but is forced to go through with the break in. During the heist, Batman shows up and mistakes Joker for the leader of the group, since the real criminals had put a red mask and cape on him. Batman accidentally causes Joker to fall into a vat of chemicals, which stain his skin, hair, and lips. The tragedies all put together drove the man insane and he ultimately became the Joker. To this day, nobody knows his real name or where he really came from. He's totally whacko, although some speculate he's not so much insane as more intelligent than anyone else on the planet, which causes him to act insane to the rest of us.

***DISCLAIMER: Just so you all know, your bios do NOT need to be so specific. They can be a simple two or three sentences if you want, so long as we can still tell you know who the character is. ALSO: In our samples, we talk for other characters (i.e. I write what Harley says to me). IN REGULAR RP THIS IS NOT OK. The only reason this is allowed for samples is because it's kind of difficult to give us a good sample if you can't have your character speak. So again: Don't write what other characters say in normal rp, this is only allowed for your sample.***

SAMPLE RP: "I can't believe it!" Joker screamed as he angrily strode through the dank, narrow hallways of his latest hideout. Harley, his sometimes partner, sometimes slave, sometimes love toy had found the old house and killed the inhabitants especially for him! He had to admit, sometimes she was good for somethings.

"How am I supposed to catch the Bat's attention when this new Goblin character is running or flying or whatever around Gotham!?" He slammed his fist into the peeling yellow wallpaper as he rounded a corner, causing a chunk of plaster to crack and fall to the ground in a cloud of ancient dust.

"HARELY!!!" Joker bellowed at the top of his lungs, calling for the one person he knew would be able to solve this problem for him.

"Yes, Mistah J?" her sweet, high-pitched voice called as her peppy blond head stuck out of a door at the end of the hall in front of him.

He stormed up to the door and demanded, stomping his foot and pointing to the floor for dramatic effect as he did so, "I want something that will command Batman's TOTAL attention, and I want it NOW!!!"

"Okay, puddin'."

Harley grinned and slipped back into the room, apparently undisturbed by his mood. She came out a moment later, dressed in her black and red jester suit and carrying an armful of papers, which she promptly handed to him. He grabbed them and began rifling through them ferociously, stopping about halfway through the pile. He gazed at the blueprint with a malicious intensity.

"Yeeeeesssss," he muttered to himself, "this will be the perfect distraction from that pesky imp!"

The Joker turned and rushed back the way he came, evil plans already filling his mind.

[Harley Quinn]

(:~~HARLEY QUINN~~
Name: Harley Quinn
Age: Wouldn't you like to know. ;P
Gender: Female
Species: Human clown
Likes: dead bats, Mistah J, dead bats, Mistah J.<3
Dislikes: batman always wrecking her and her puddin's fun
Appearence: Image available in avatar/sig.

BIO: First and foremost known as Doctor Harleen Frances Quinzel she was once a doctor at Arkham Asylum working as a psychiatric therapist to help the mentally insane with their problems and hopefully bring back some lost sanity. However everything changed when she worked with a patient known to call himself The Joker. He slowly twisted her mind telling her sob stories about himself gaining her trust and not to mention much more. Her mind officially snapped when The Joker broke loose only to return bruised, and bloody from The Batman's hands. The sight of him wounded like that drove her over the edge and she slipped into insanity getting herself a jester wardrobe and taking up a nickname The Joker suggested to her when they met. Harley Quinn. Through many adventures they had together she would always try to win her puddins affection in a sort of love hate relationship. Once while she actually managed to not only capture The Batman but also make The Joker's plan better then originally thought up The Batman was able to push her enough for her to proclaim, "My puddin does love me! HE DOES!" Some wonder who the true crazy one is in all of this... the clown or the jester?

SAMPLE RP: Harley was enjoying herself for once she didn't have to worry about Batsy and for once things were quiet, and calm. She knew it wouldn't last.
"HARLEY!!" Mistah J hollered for her already finding another scheme to come up with.
Twirling down the hall towards his voice in her usual childish manner she reached the room he was impatiently waiting in and smiled her widest, "Yes puddin'?"
"Stop smiling and get over here!" He proclaimed flailing about.
She gasped, "Stop smiling!" She ran too him feeling his forehead for some kind of flu, "You feelin' alright puddin'?" She of course was instantly worried.
He hit her hard sending her flying with an Oof! but she was used to this kind of manner so she shook it off as best she could rubbing her cheek hoping a bruise wouldn't appear.
"R-right boss no smiles."
Even through all the pain she went through she was still madly in love with him.


[DISCLAIMER PLEASE READ!!] Since this is only an example you should be aware that it is NOT OK to speak in other character's voices other then your own. Thanks for your consideration. ]
