Throughout the years of humanity, villains have always been a plight on humanity. From Medea to Richard the Third and now to Doctor Octopus. True peace and equality has always been a thing of dreams, because of one thing; Injustice. Heroes have risen and fallen in the ever-going quest to fight crime and injustice, but it is a never-ending plague. Villains escape prisons, escape traps, and even escape death, in a constant cycle of chaos. It is past time to create a formidable defense against this eternal threat - to formulate a team, capable of defeating these threats. A team capable of defending this planet from the constant plague. A team that can fight for Earth, and protect the innocent citizens within. A team, like The Defenders.

S.H.I.E.L.D. has brought together young, powerful contenders to be the first organized, and official protectors of humanity. Extensive research has been slaved over to delve into each mind of the contenders, and endless work has went into making sure that this wouldn't be a one-shot failure. Millions of dollars of funds, given by the company itself, along with anonymous supporters and patrons, was put into this team. Some of the greatest minds in the nation have put their brains together to formulate the equipment and resources needed to build such an ambitious project. It was a cautious and incredibly large process, especially due to the fact that some of the contenders were very hard to get a hold to, and even a few were hostile. However, in the end, it was worth it. The Defenders were built, with their home base being held within New York City.

Could I be allowed to join?

Woah what is this now? I want in.

Aye yo, welcome both of you. What characters did you have in minderino?

Aye yo, welcome both of you. What characters did you have in minderino?

Well you know me, I already have a character in the works. She's a healer.

Can we make OC's? If so, I'll make one. If not probably black widow or Karolina Dean.

Looking forward to her, OneWayOut.

Yes, OCs are accepted, but we'd like for them to be kept at a minimum.

Ok, I'll just go with Karolina then.

I am here and you already know I'm doing Invisible Woman.

Ayyy, Morphine looks very cool.

Black Panther is basically finished, I just need to come up with a muse for his history. That's prob. gonna take a while.

Lookin' forward to your characters, Chic and Carls!

I left history open because I don't know if we'll get someone who wants to be part of the original Fantastic 4, such as the Human Torch. If no one does, I'll make her history.

Makes sense. Feel free to put her in the Character Thread.

Character Sheet



Name: Samuel Wilson
Alias: Falcon
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Power(s): Telepathic Link - Sam was given the ability to telepathically link with birds endowed by the Red Skull using the Cosmic Cube. This link is strongest with his companion Redwing but he is also able to extend his empathic link to other birds making it possible for him to see through their eyes. He has also shown the ability to control birds. These abilities apply to the entirety of birds.
Skills: Martial Artist- Sam has in-training by the Seals Corps in multiple martial arts making him a dangerous combatant.
Acrobat- Sam's training in gymnastics since his early childhood has given him exceptional balance and agility.
Aerialist- Sam has an uncanny presence and capability in air-to-air combat due to his familiarity with his flying gear and paratrooper mission.
Equipment: The Exo-7 Falcon is a jet pack with retractable wings. It provides a lightweight and highly versatile alternative to parachutes in combat environments and was used by Paratroopers in the Air Force. Although designed for a single operator, the Exo-7 Falcon provides enough thrust to support the weight of two men for a brief period of time. It is equipped with a tightly packed backup parachute that can be manually deployed in the event of a system failure with the jetpack and wing assembly.
Personality: Sam's personality is an extension of his inexperience. He is a jittery, extremely self-conscious, and oblivious (although an adept) young superhero who longs to fit in with the team. This is reflected both as a superhero and as a SEAL due to being fast-tracked in both divisions. Set on making a good impression, Sam will go out of his way to elicit positive responses from others on the team, sometimes overreaching to his own detriment. He can occasionally lose focus when impressed by something, but can regain his concentration when corrected. For all his inexperience, Falcon is enthusiastic and determined to make up for his ignorance.
History: Sam Wilson was a young boy training in gymnastics with olympic glory in mind. During one of Hydra's various sleeper-cell projects over the decades, Sam was kidnapped and hijacked by Hydra, who used him as a human guinea pig for experimentation as well as training in armed and unarmed combat. From the age of 13 Sam was subject to Hydra manipulation, but was saved two years later by an early incarnation of SHIELD that deprogrammed him. Wanting to keep tabs on him moving forward, Shield approached Sam with an opportunity to "serve his country" and put his unwilling training and gymnastic skills to patriotic use. They enrolled same into the United States Air Force academy to become a pararescueman, fast tracking him onto a special regime to test the Exo-7 Falcon jet packs and revolutionize the Pararescue division.

Neither of those people put "Ready" in there cs. Oooh. Bad.

Oh, really?
