Name: Rick Monroe
Alias: Ghost
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Abilities/Skills: Rick is skilled in SCARS (An American military fighting style focusing on hitting exact locations for maximum pain), free running, and the use of firearms. Rick has a small amount of Ninjitsu training under his belt, but has not had the time to finish said training. Rick is also a skilled acrobat.
Powers: Rick can bend the light around his body or an object, rending it invisible to the naked eye.
Weaknesses: Rick can be seen using infared vision, or night vision. While being quite skilled in the arts of stealth and combat, Rick is still a human being. Bullets, knives, and base ball bats can all kill him rather easily.
Equipment: A pair of military grade combat knives, a metal baton, a rope dart (A simple rope tied to a pointy arrow head; can be used as a grappling hook), and a handful of shurikens. During missions, he carries a custom sub machine gun that fires tranquilizer darts.
Personality: Despite his rigorous stealth training, Rick is a very loud person. He can talk anyone’s ear off in a heart beat, and never strays from an argument if one is started. He’ll stick to it, no matter how long it takes to drill his own opinion into the other person’s head. Rick is notorious for picking fights where there isn’t a fight to be picked. He’s reckless, bull headed, and slightly insane. Until he steps on the field, that is. Once on mission, Rick no longer exists. He becomes Ghost. He’ll rarely speak when the team is working, and is constantly dead serious. He contributes this total change in attitude towards the training he received, though Rick’s psychiatrist says there’s a good chance Rick has some sort of other personality. It’s hard to tell, due to Ghost only coming out when bullets start to fly.
History: Rick Monroe was the son of two superpowered runaways. His parents worked with a circus, although that was just a cover up. In accuality, the members of the circus were people with super powers trying to make a difference. When the government started the REACH program, the circus group refused to register themselves. For the first eleven years of Rick’s life, he was considered a criminal along with his parents. They evaded the authorities, believing that REACH was a violation of their rights. During those eleven years, Rick learned how to be an acrobat so he could look like an actual part of the circus. On the side, however, Rick’s father was teaching his son all the skills he would need to be a successful vigilante.
Then they were caught. The circus was rounded up by the police and they were all sent to prison. Rick escaped, however, and continued the life of a super hero on the streets. Eventually he ran into another under the radar hero, who agreed to teach Rick how to use his body as a weapon. It was during a training mission out in the city that Rick came in contact with an experimental substance that allowed him to bend light. At the age of fourteen, Rick’s master died and the teenager finally surrendered himself to the system and registered. Rick was adopted by Mister and Misses Greenhill, and taken out of the foster system a few months after being put into it. Rick’s new foster parents refused to allow the boy to continue hero work. Rick did it anyway. At fifteen and a half, Rick joined the Young Justice team and removed himself from his foster parent’s lives.
