Nerdsy Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 [COLOR=purple]The time is 3 weeks after the Clocktower has been destroyed by the Hunters. Goliath, Hudson, Brooklyn, Lexington, Broadway, Angela, and Bronx are all adjusting to living in the castle with Xanatos. Things have been quiet for the past few weeks. No body has tried to kill them. Xanatos has been trying to gain the Gargoyles complete trust ever since they moved in, but it seems to be a lost cause. After many rejected ideas, Xanatos finally comes up with an idea that might work: a luxury voyage on one of his Yachts. ?Yes?, he thinks, ?this will be perfect?. But he can?t help but notice a fog is building on the ocean? --------------------------------- This, as should be obvious, is a Gargoyles RPG. ^_^ You can use either a proven Gargoyles character or a character of your own making. To sign up, please state the name, race (Gargoyles, Human, or Third Race), description and/or picture, specific strength/power, favorite weapon (optional), and background info. Your characters can be either on the Gargoyles side or against them. If you need a visual aid, then here's my entry. [b]Name:[/b] David Xanatos. [b]Race:[/b]Human [b]Picture:[/b]http://www.dracandros.com/Jebgarg/tge/xano15.jpg [b]Strength/Power:[/b] He is a very smart and rich man, and he has a vast amount of technology at his disposal. [b]Favorite Weapon:[/b] A red Steel Clan bio-suit. [b]Background info:[/b]David Xanatos was born to a poor fisherman in Maine, USA. When he was around 20, he reaceived a coin in the mail that he sold for $20,000. He invested that in multiple fields, and soon buil a multi-million dollar corporation out of it. In 1994, he bought Castle Wyvern and released the Gargoyles from their sleep. He soon betrayed them, and became the Gargoyles worst enemy. A few years later, Xanatos had a son named Alexander with Pack leader, Fox. His son was soon revealed to be of the Third Race, a Grandson of Titania, Queen of the Third Race. After Goliath and the other Gargoyles helped foil an attempt by Oberon to take Alex back to Avalon, Xanatos dropped all aggresions agaisnt the Gargoyles, and even let them move back in to Castle Wyvern when the Clocktower was destroyed. (Just so everyone knows, Ginnylyn [who helped me get this thing together] has all ready chosen Puck/Owen, so he is not available.) I will choose 6 people (with the exception of Ginnylyn and myself) to participate, based on the entry. Have fun! ^_^ [/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GinnyLyn Posted January 30, 2003 Share Posted January 30, 2003 [color=royal blue]All RIGHT! Now we're talking! [b]Name:[/b] Owen Burnett/Puck (and Alexander) [b]Race:[/b] Human/Third Race (1/4 third race, 3/4 human) [b]Picture:[/b] [img]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=346608[/img] [b]Strength/Power:[/b] (Owen) He is everywhere Xanatos can't be and seems to have knowledge about anything and everything. (Puck) Being of the Third Race, he has powers (which include shape shifting) beyond mortal comprehesion; however, he can only use them in conjunction with Alexanader now (see Background Info). (Alexander) Like Puck, Alexander has Third Race powers in him; Puck is teaching the infant how to use them. [b]Favorite Weapon:[/b] (Owen) His knowledge and his stone fist. (Puck) His word-twisting wit and fluter's pipe. (Alexander) Um, he uses his cuteness? Or his daddy's anger? [b]Background info:[/b] (Owen) He is employed under Xanatos after working for the Renards, and has proven to be the multimillionaire's indispincible major-domo. Being the right hand man, he has knowledge of everything--and ways to cover his master's tracks. He obtained a stone fist when testing the Cauldron of Life for Xanatos. During the battle for Alexander, it was revealed that Owen is actually Puck. (Puck) One of the Third Race, or [i]Fay[/i], Puck is the servant of Oberon (the very same found in Shakespeare's [i]A Midsummer's Night Dream[/i]). He followed Oberon's wife, Queen Titania, who dwelled with the humans; Puck soon followed suit. He made himself into Owen Burnett, and kept an eye on Titania (who posed as Mrs. Renard). Later, Puck revealed himself to Xanatos, and gave him the option of having any one wish from Puck--or a lifetime of service from Owen. Xanatos chose Owen, and Puck has forever remained with him. During the battle for Alexander, Oberon faulted Puck for siding with the humans, and stripped the Fay of his powers, save only when training or protecting Alexander. Oberon also decreed that Puck is now exiled from Avalon, the home of the Third Race. Puck, knowing of Xanatos' cruise, wishes to find some way to return home again... (Alexander) The baby born to David and Fox Xanatos, he was sought after by Oberon for being Titania's grandson. Fortunately, Fox proved to still have powers, forcing Oberon to allow the baby to stay with his parents, and develop his powers under Puck's care. WHEW! That was a lot. Heh. BTW, if anyone wants to refresh their memories on the show itself, there are good episode summaries [url=http://www.gargoyles-fans.org/episodes.html]here.[/url][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tursi Posted January 30, 2003 Share Posted January 30, 2003 ok, i love gargoyles, but i have forgotten alot and will be needing a tad bit of help along the way, alos tell me if i've left anything out for my character. Name: Angela Race:gargoyle Picture: Strength/Power: SHe's very clever and intelligent and they say that she's more like her mother, demona, then anyone else. Favorite Weapon: Background info:(sorry this is going to be a quick cut and paste from a web site. i'll do more with it later.) Goliath and Demona's daughter. Angela was raised by Katharine, Tom and the Magus in Avalon, with the rest of her rookery brothers and sisters. After the Archmage was defeated, Angela returned with Goliath to Manhattan. . She nicely compliments Goliath's naivety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 [color=teal]Hell, why not? I'm bored anyway. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [b]Name:[/b]Goliath [b]Race:[/b]Gargoyle [b]Picture:[/b]See attachment [b]Strength/Power:[/b]A powerful gargoyle with intense strength and knowledge, he is second in both fields only to Lex and Broadway. Hi ability to command has never been questoned, nor has he questioned his destiny. As Hudson always said "A Gargoyle can no more stop protecting the castle than breathing the air". [b]Favorite Weapon:[/b]His strength and cleverness. He always uses the element of surprise and his brute strength to stop a battle quickly, if possible. [b]Background info:[/b]Awakened in 1994 by Xanatos when he moved Wyvern Castle, Goliath began his search for his clan. As he defended the Clocktower, where he lived with his friends, he met a young detective named Elisa. As time wore on, after he averted many disasters caused by Fox and Xanatos, he met his brother, Coldstone, and his old love, Demona. Both tried to kill him at one time, though Coldstone eventually forgave him. Without knowing it, Goliath fell in love with Elisa, and she with him. He now lives in Wyvern Castle with his friends.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarasan Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 Yo, before I sign up, I would *REALLY* like to know whether or not this was based on, the original Gargoyles, a sequel, or that TV series that was on like, 4 years ago (I don't know whether it's still on or not) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarasan Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 Uh, Gargoyles was a movie that came out in 1996 or somethin'.... Anyway, I ain't never seen anything else. Oh wait! I think I saw an episode where Goliath turned into a human. If this is the TV show you're talking about, then I'd really like to know if there's a website I can download the episodes off of. :babble: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GinnyLyn Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 [color=royal blue]Seeing how downloading stuff is illegal, I can't tell you any sites for that. (Though there [i]is[/i] a Disney site that allows people to download the eppie "Deadly Force", in order to back their argument about why the episode [i]shouldn't[/i] be kept off the air (it was an issue about gun safety--the cop Elisa got shot, and there was--gasp, horror--blood; but it was making a point about how guns are dangerous and should be handled properly). All that rambling and I can't remember where it is, but if I do, I'll put up a link for it. In any case, there are good summaries of the episodes [url=http://www.gargoyles-fans.org/episodes.html]here[/url], and the episode transcripts themselves [url=http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Set/4353/eplist.html]here.[/url] Hope that will help.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outlaw Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 Name: Gabriel Race:Gargoyle Picture:[url]http://www.dracandros.com/Jebgarg/tge/gabriel.jpg[/url] Strength/Power: A strong warrior with experiance in hand to hand combat and with medival weapons. However, he has lived on Avalon his whole life, so knows little about the outside world. Favorite Weapon: none Background info: Gabriel was the male leader of the Gargoyle clan on Avalon. He was brought there while still an egg to be kept safe. He has spent most of his time in peace, but trained himeself with the help of Tom to become a strong warrior. He is also very close to Angela, which means he might not take the idea that Angela chose Broadway as her mate very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GinnyLyn Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 [color=royal blue]There was also a live action movie called "Gargoyles" that was released, that I don't think had ANYTHING to do with the Disney show. Speaking of live action, wouldn't this guy (attached) make a great IRL Owen?

HeroBear Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 Name: Derek Maza aka Talon Race: Mutate Picture: See attached Strength/Power: Gliding/Limited Flight, Super human strength and agility Favorite Weapon: His talons, of course! :) Background info: Following his family's footsteps, Derek Maza, was a member of the NYPD as a helicopter pilot. He enjoyed his job, but when David Xanatos came to him to be his pilot and bodyguard, Derek could not refuse. Eliza, his sister, begged him to quit working for Xanatos, but Derek was too stuborn and did not listen. It was a mistake that would change his life forever. Everything was going well until a freak accident accured and Derek was injected with a mutagenic serum that turned him into a gargoyle-like creature. With the strength and agility of a panther, and the gliding capabilities of a bat, he called himself Talon. Thought to be an accident, Xanatos had planned to decieve Derek and turn him into his own servant. Xanatos convinced him into believing the Gargoyles had done this to him and the other victims of the mutagen. Vowing to get revenge, Talon lead the Mutates to battle the Gargoyles. Derek then soon discovered that Xanatos was only using the mutates. Talon, along with the Mutates joined forces with the Gargoyles and destroyed the Cyberbiotics underground Lab, so that Xanatos could never do this again to anyone. The Mutates created their new home within the ruins of the Cyberbiotics Labratories and renamed it the Labyrinth. Derek now searches for a cure to the the mutagen, but vows to help Goliath and his Clan against the forces of evil in the meantime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shy Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 [size=1][b]Name:[/b] MacBeth [b]Race:[/b]Human [img]http://www.dabo.de/gargoyles/macbeth.jpg[/img] [b]Strength/Power:[/b] Immortality. Not bad, eh? [b]Favorite Weapon:[/b] A pair of laser/electric pistol things. [b]Background info:[/b] MacBeth was cursed with immortality by the three Weird Sisters in 1040 A.D. His life and soul were bound with Demona's, and he cannot die unless both he and Demona kill eachother. Since then MacBeth has hunted down the beast for centuries, hoping to find some solace in his demise. My RPG posts will mainly focus on this aspect of MacBeth. -Shy[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GinnyLyn Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 [color=royal blue]Oooo, you might could touch on Demona, too, then. It's a shame nobody picked her for this RPG...not yet, anyway. I [i]might[/i] consider playing as her...I'm still debating that. I've never played more than 2 charas at a time.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerdsy Posted February 8, 2003 Author Share Posted February 8, 2003 [COLOR=deeppink]Okay, since less then 6 people signed up, and I don't really think any more are going to, I'm going to let everyone who signed up participate. I'll have the RPG up in 2 or 3 days. Keep an eye out for it. ;)[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GinnyLyn Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 [color=royal blue]What the heck. I originally wanted Demona, so I'll toss her into my list too, if that is ok with Shy. [b]Name:[/b] Demona [b]Race:[/b] Gargoyle [b]Picture:[/b] [img]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=352566[/img] [b]Strength/Power:[/b] Her strength is matched only by Goliath's, for she was his second in command at Castle Wyvern. What she cannot do with brute force, she covers with her magical abilities, a talent scorned by most gargoyles. [b]Favorite Weapon:[/b] The biggest portable laser cannon money can buy. [b]Background info:[/b] Demona's primary thought in life is "Humans evil." In 994, she conspired with the Captain of Castle Wyvern to help the Vikings ransack the Castle, so she and her clan could live in peace without humans. Unfortunately, the Viking leader smashed her clan, with the exception of the Manhattan Gargoyles (Goliath, Hudson, Bronx, Lexington, Brooklyn, and Broadway) and the Rookery eggs, of which one was Goliath's and Demona's--Angela. Later on, Demona made a pact with MacBeth and the Weird Sisters to be an immortal. A thousand years of life has only hardened her revenge and resolve to kill all the humans. A curse by Puck causes Demona to turn into a human during the day, instead of stone like the other gargoyles. She has used this to her advantage to start her company Nightstone, and is close to catching up to Xanatos in money and power. Her only other thorn in her side is MacBeth. Though her thoughts on immortality are unclear, she knows that she can still die by his hand. [/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hinata Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 I see that you're too fast. I would've signed up as Demona but you're too quick.... Oh well I guess I'll have to play somehting else....or are you still letting people sign up!!!! Please let me know!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GinnyLyn Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 [color=royal blue]Well, yeah, we can always take more people on. If you really want Demona, you can have her. If you have someone else you'd like to play as (for example, Elisa), you can. Feel free to sign up--the RPG will be starting very soon.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
