Name: Ramsey Lombardi
Alias: Alex Copperhead - Black Hawk
Age:
Actual Age: 28
Given Age: 21
Gender: Male
Height: 6'1
Weight: 220 lbs
Personality: Ramsey is an interesting man whom has a strange mix of personality traits in one body. He is a sarcastic man who loves to make fun of every little situation mentally or out loud, no matter how horrific or terrifying the situation may or may not be. However he tends keeps the mockery to a low degree when in a ugly situation such as a murder. He can be extremely disrespectful to most people but to people he does truly respect he is very humble to and very sincere. However he has no problem lying to anyone despite the former fact and takes pride in his lying abilities. He enjoys the pain of getting hurt and the feeling of hurting others but doesn't actively seek to hurt innocent people unless he has to. He hates hurting people he doesn't have to but doesn't shy away from saving his own skin when it comes down to it. He is ready to make the sacrifices to make sure other people get away but as long as it doesn't completely cripple him. He hates children but doesn't talk down to them when he can help it which is hard since he is a heavily sarcastic individual. He acknowledges others as hypocritical but when he is confronted with the same word he laughs it off. He takes pride in his freedom but respects the law and it's enforcement but doesn't even flinch from breaking a cop's hand. However the main pulling factor behind Ramsey is his freedom and he refuses to let anyone take that away from him but he dislikes being in charge of anything seeing it as a overall horrible idea. He has a policy of not killing people unless he absolutely has to. He finds the science behind the things he does interesting but he finds it ungodly boring to listen to in extreme detail. He also feels the same way about reading. He loves puppy dogs and tends to turn into a little boy when confronted with something cute. He likes to hit on women but not women whom he actively meets on occasions.

Biography: Born in Ohio to a pair of relatively normal people whom worked as teachers and historians young Ramsey was raised from early on to be a respectful individual which he never took heart to doing. From childhood he was always curious and had many strange tendencies to get into places when no other child would normally be able to get to as he had been able to climb a tree since the age of three. He was known for his ability to quickly understand things but he had trouble getting along with others and often was alone. Growing up in the small town Ramsey taught himself how to fight with the help of one of his next door neighbors who was a retired navy seal whom had grown attached to the boy after finding him in his basement somehow climbing across two trees and onto the roof by himself without making much noise. While his father disapproved of it and his mother secretly did as well he found himself more and more interesting in combat and fighting. During middle school and high school he was known for his ability to beat up bullies and had almost been expelled for breaking their fingers, noses, arms, and legs in fights when they picked on him.

He never really got in the way of the bullies when they picked on the younger kids however. Eventually after school he joined a small strip club as a bouncer but left after he slept with half of the strippers and the owner of the place. He then joined a small paramilitary group thanks to the help of his mentor and worked as a mercenary for some years learning how to further skills in hand to hand combat through boxing and other types of fighting which normally where surprisingly unprofessional but effective. He learned that dirty moves were not only acceptable but could lead to easy victories and gained a sense of practicality from it.

He served many years as a mercenary before he quit and wandered around from place to place before coming onto a small city when he was hired as a body guard and learned many ways to shoot a gun from a former terrorist whom had given up his old ways along with new training regiments that only made him stronger. He had adapted to the way of a drifter but eventually went back to the old mercenary group in which grew somewhat infamous for his sarcasm. He fought with a mutated man named Bull Nose often, a man with skin strong enough to block bullets and knives, and often came up on top. He obtained his signature helmet when he was on a protection mission and saved the head scientist's life and was given the newly made helmet as a gift for doing so well (the place had been stormed by an entire regiment's worth of guards with only five people to back him up Ramsey fought off the enemy mercenary group whom had tried to capture the scientists and kill him) however he later found out that it was only given to him because it was a prototype and he was going to be the Ginny pig for it. His arch enemy Bull Nose eventually killed the scientist and he left with the helmet presumed dead. After some soul searching in China and Japan under the name of Alex Copperhead, he returned to America where he adapted a new persona known as Black Hawk a vigilante for hire whom took on thugs and gangs for the fun of it, while wielding out of date guns and old fashioned knives along with his bare hands before he was contacted by a man named Lars Conrad whom would become his operator. After which he quickly changed his more street thug persona into a cold and dangerous persona not all different from Batman himself. However he was known for being called The Biker Hero by some because of his somewhat biker like attitude and clothes which he adapted into a more militaristic and 'badass' sort of way after Lars equipped him with military grade weapons and gear and taught him many of his current skills or honed them to what they are today.

Appearance: White Skin with short cut black hair with numerous cuts and scars on his torso and legs along with two on his lips on either side from up to down from two separate knife fights. His eyes are grey and have a dark hue. He normally wears a white t-shirt with grey hoodie even when it's hot out unless it's unbearably so. He sometimes wears sunglasses when outside and wears a golden ring with a diamond in it on his right hand. In his super 'hero' outfit he wears a black helmet that resembles a mechanical ski-mask that covers all of his face with white dots indicating where the eyes are located at. The mask allows him to ignore toxins and allows him to see in the dark due to it being specifically made for him. It was made by a ex-military company and the designer was killed in a terrorist bombing in the middle east. It is the only known one of it's kind. However it's nothing special per say. The rest of his outfit consists of a black t-shirt that has padded Kevlar underneath it with a bandolier across his chest. Above that he wears a black leather jacket in which he carries small explosives in his pockets and other small handy devices such as mini-flash lights and flares with matches. His tool belt is military grade and carries two holsters for pistols which were made by Lars Conrad that can shoot both normal bullets and tranquilizer darts. It has numerous slots for ammo and other assorted tools and has two knives in the back. His pants are black camouflaged and have even more stun grenades attached to them. His boots are military style combat boots. His gloves have small metal plates on the knuckles and padding on the parts where the finger bend which sacrifice mobility but give him the ability to punch harder.
Abilities: Extremely competent hand to hand fighter, above average technical skills, highly acrobatic and agile, skilled marksman, knowledge of the human body (for minor medical skills and for how to kill or incapacitate a person), highly trained reflexes, Ability to keep calm under even dire circumstances and has strong mental capabilities through that.

He has a great love for anything technological and is not afraid to take cheap ways to win things. He loves gambling but not to an obsessive extent.

His whole reason for working with Black Hawk is unknown however he states that he believes the boy could take up his old mantel if he wasn't such a piss head. He often swears and grumbles when angry and gives people long angry stares when he is ignored or upset and to tired or angry to talk. He loves bingo games and new modern age comic books and tv shows however.

He has given away only what he cares to give away that he has many enemies from gangs to high ranking mobsters. In fact the only reason he has been included in The Gotham Alliance was because he personally sent Batman files on himself and revealed the fact that he is the former Autumn Flame whom was a super hero back thirty years ago or so and had helped bring an end to an explosive gang war that almost stopped the construction of Bludhaven.

He has many pockets in both pants that allow him to hold all sorts of devices normally all of which are non-lethal but extremely painful from sonic generators to mini-flash bangs. His years of heroics are long behind him and it shows as he always appears slumped and tired however his eyes almost never give anything away except when the old man lets them and under very few cases will his gaze betray him. When he does have to fight however he prefers his custom made suit known as 'Autumn Flame' which have flame throwers in the palms and have hoses along the arms and legs and back which are protected by armor the expands and contracts and can cause third degree burns and can even burn through tanks.when applied in concentration. The metal is singed but has a white and grey hue and no sculpted face and is more of a welder's mask. The mask causes his voice to change from a gruff withered one to a robotic like one.

Name: Marcus White
Alias: Midnight
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Height: 6'1
Weight: 200lbs
Personality: Arrogant, Psychotic, Rash, Comedic, Insane
Biography: Marcus White was born to a mother who was addicted and died from a cocaine overdose when he was 8, and a father who committed suicide out of grief from his wife's death a few months later. This caused Marcus to become orphaned, but instead of being "stuck" in an orphanage he ran and lived on the streets for most of his life. He learned how to defend himself from various thugs on the street, and was tossed into a life full of stealing, beating, and other crime. This eventually led him to move into a crack-house full of some of his fellow "Lost Children" and do the bidding of drug dealers to have a place to live, and to stay alive. He lived at the crack-house until he was around 17 when it was raided by a police force and they were being arrested. Marcus escaped to the neighboring Gotham City to get away from the criminals and hopefully to start his life anew.

He started working at a local bowling alley washing the floors, and managing equipment. This would give him some spare time on using his imagination to craft little devices to aid him in his everyday tasks. This devices helped him clean toilets, wash floors, clean carpets. You name it. Life was looking up for Marcus and he was saving up some money so he could rent his first apartment (he was currently sleeping on a cot at the bowling alley). His past became his past, and the day of his 21st birthday came. He had finally saved up enough for his own apartment, and moved in. While putting away what little belongings he had someone from his past broke into his apartment and stabbed him fifteen times all over and left him for dead, while leaving him incredibly scarred around his chest, torso, legs, and arms. They proclaimed it was because he had fled the crack-house years before, and betrayed his "family" and that they wanted him dead. Luckily, he was discovered by another tenant and he was brought to the local hospital and saved, but only narrowly. Knowing that the "family" would still hunt him down and kill him he began taking self defense lessons, and learning Brazilian Jiujitsu from a local teacher in Gotham.

The months passed and he become more well-trained in the art, and was capable of defending himself but also quickly became one of the best students at the school. While walking home one night after his lessons he was approached by one of the "family" who brandished a knife on him. The attacker went to stab him, but Marcus broke his wrist incredibly swiftly, and shattered his left kneecap causing the attacker to collapse the ground. He demanded information on why the "Family" wanted him dead so bad and the attacker confirmed it was because of him leaving the town on the night of the bust. The attacker also revealed that their leader, the man who had taken Marcus into the crack-house as a home, Alexander Pherron was the one responsible for his mother overdosing on cocaine. Marcus vowed to get revenge and walked away from his now neutralized attacker.

He moved to a different location in Gotham near a water-front, and began his hunt for Alexander. He had learned that Alex had moved to Gotham City to ensure that Marcus was dealt with. Marcus tracked him down, knocked him out and strapped him to a chair in an abandoned warehouse. He had wore a brown paper bag over his head to conceal his identity and sometime during the knowledge of his mother's killer, he snapped mentally. He began torturing Alex by cutting off a couple of his fingers, and pulling out his teeth with pliers. When he finally got his confession recorded on tape he stabbed Alex in the throat with a screwdriver and killed him. He looked at his wristwatch at this moment and noticed the time to be 12:00am and thus became the birth of his alias, Midnight.

He slowly then dispatched the remaining members of the Family in various, gruesome methods. Some involving torture, some just involving brutal killing without remorse. This is when he donned his outfit of the long black frock coat, and the rest of his black ensemble and the eerie silver mask that was similar to what the Phantom Of The Opera wore, but this covered his entire face. He only targets people who commit atrocities like rape, murder, etc. He doesn't target innocent people but somewhere along his long line of killing it caused him to go a bit mentally unstable, and psychotic. He enjoys the killing, but will also defend the innocent to his last breath.

Abilities: Trained extensively in Brazilian Jiujitsu and Swordfighting.

Extra Notes: He is also armed with a machete that is adorned with a white blade.

I'll hold back on the gritty, and gory. Just setting up the back story is all.

Is it okay if I join?

Yeah!

Cool! Can I play a villain?

Sure!

Alright, I'll get to work on a CS right away.

I'm not sure how a villain will be placed in this roleplay but whatever your the boss pyro.

Is my character accepted, or no? :)

Yours character is in.

pyroman said
Yours character is in.

Brilliant.

Name: Michael Grant
Alias: Phobos
Appearance: Michael is lanky. He is clearly unhealthy, and has the look of someone who hasn't slept in nearly a decade. His hair is dark and unkempt. Michael's face is pinched and angular, and his features are sharp. His eyes are yellow and sunken back, with large dark circles around them. He normally wears dark, ratty clothing. His regular out fit is a dark hoodie and jeans, with the hood worn up. He is constantly twitching with movement. His voice is thin and strained.
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 150 lb
Personality: Paranoid, Fearful, Hateful, and pretty damn broken. Might have been redeemable, but it's too late.
Biography: Michael Grant was born to a pair of middle class nobodies, and had a fairly normal childhood for the first four years of his life, until his father got involved in a cult, as time went on, Michael was forced into the lifestyle alongside his mother. Though he didn't understand what was happening, he went along with his father's orders. When Michael was ten years old, it was decided he would be sacrificed in the hope of gaining favor from the power they worshiped. At the night of the sacrifice, moments before his death, Michael was instead infused with a horrifying power. All those present were instantly driven insane, leaving Michael without parents. The experience haunted him throughout his childhood, and he went through a series of foster homes. Through them all, he experienced horrible nightmares that drove him to the edge of sanity.

Once Michael reached adulthood, he was booted from the system, and left to fend for himself. He didn't fare well alone, and after suffering a breakdown and maiming a stranger, he was placed in Arkham Asylum. It was there that first made use of his power, to fight off a group of fellow inmates who had been harassing him. Some panicked and fled, others curled up and cried. At first Michael didn't understand, until he took a closer look. Phantom like monsters were surrounding the inmates, torturing them, but it only those who suffered could feel them. That night, Michael suffered no nightmares, for the first time in years, he slept soundly. The next day, he used his powers on more inmates, until his attacks were noticed by the staff, and he was placed in the high security wing. Michael knew what he had to do. He needed to use his powers to ease his suffering, but as he continued to use his powers, they had less and less effect on his nightmares, so he had to use them on more and more people.

He has been in and out of Arkham for several years afterward, never able to fully rid himself of his nightmares. He is now searching for a way to remove his powers, only for the relief of his nightmares.
Abilities: Michael makes people see terrible nightmares. Whatever someone fears most will come to life before their eyes, and attack them. Depending on the willpower of whose affected, the effects wear off in different amounts of time. For those with superhuman will, such as Batman, they would only last for a mere thirty seconds, but for the common man, it could go on for hours after Phobos has left. When Michael starts using his powers, anyone affected sees him as a fifteen foot tall creature, with rending talons, and horribly elongated limbs. His eyes glow hellish red, and his mouth fills with razor sharp, white teeth.
Extra Notes: Um, y=mx+b

Ok what do you say to a character who is good, but has an alter ego/ split personality that is evil? Playing both sides of the coin, not two face style but literally out of no where can switch off.

No. I kinda wanted to make a villain. Maybe some sort of anti hero, but the point is, he's not a good person. At all.

So is my character good?

Yeah, he's good.

I'm hoping my time writing two full fledged characters wasn't a waste of time.
