The man without fear, only in space. And a cop.
Space cop stories, with a little more focus on the “cop” side of things. The Green Lantern Corps operates in an intergalactic jurisdiction, as dictated by its own laws. Lanterns don’t enforce the laws of one planet, but rather, laws that apply to the entire universe as an intergalactic melting pot of society. A murder in neutral space is Hal’s business, as is the killing of an ice hauler, or an interplanetary weapons smuggling ring – to name a few. While elements of the cosmic epic that’s usually associated with the GLC will remain a part of Hal’s story, I want to aim for a “galactic street level” feel, where Hal and co. deal with crime and other threats to the universe with a more distinct cop-like approach.
This Hal is different from the one in mainstream continuity due to one big difference: Alan Scott preceded him, and was the one to pass on his ring before dying. Partnered up with Abin Sur, this would eventually lead to him trying to live up to two legacies: that of the first human Lantern, and that of his mentor and friend. This changes a few things in the Corps’ history during the ten years that Hal’s been active, most of which have been briefly detailed in the Notes section. Other than that, it’s the same ol’ Hal. A bit more of a cop, sure – but it’s him.

F E A T . J E S S I C A C R U ZSomeone is killing Lanterns. Hal and Jessica investigate.

ALLIES, FRIENDS AND FAMILY
The Jordan Family – With Martin and Jessica Jordan both no longer with us, only their children and their children’s children remain. Jack Jordan, their eldest child, works as a councilman in Coast City’s civic centre; his mother’s son even after her death, he still holds resentment for what he believes Hal’s desertion to the Air Force did to her health. James, their youngest son, is an I.T. consultant who has a beautiful wife, Susan Jordan (née Williams), and three amazing kids – Howard, Jane and Arthur. As close with Hal as two brothers can be, Jim is well aware of his identity as Green Lantern, as is the rest of his family, and often serves as a sponge for Hal’s frustrations with the job – absorbing them all without complaint.
Carol Ferris – Hal’s (on and off) girlfriend of many years, Carol’s had to put up with much of the man’s crap, and has learned through harsh experience that loving a Green Lantern is no easy thing. But time has only served to strengthen their bond, and through everything they remain together, despite the long absences Hal’s duties often call for. Carol spends her days running Ferris Air and its two branches, Ferris Aircraft and Ferris Airlines, while also taking a company jet out for a spin every once in a while.
Tom Kalmaku – Hal’s closest friend at Ferris Air besides Carol, Tom was the first to know of his identity as Green Lantern. Formerly a mechanic, he now works in an administrative position at Ferris, helping Carol manage the chaos that’s running a multi-billion dollar airline and aircraft manufacturer.
Oliver Queen // Green Arrow – The Emerald Archer of Star City, Ollie and Hal go way back. Best friends until the end, they’ve got each other’s backs. WILL ACCOMMODATE PLAYER’S NEEDS AS SPECIFIED
Barry Allen // The Flash – Hal and the Scarlet Speedster have become good friends over the years. One third of the Hard-Travelling Trinity. WILL ACCOMMODATE PLAYER’S NEEDS AS SPECIFIED
Peter Quill // Star-Lord – The leader of a ragtag group of outlaws – and occasional heroes – Quill’s been an unlikely source of help in the past, often acting as Hal’s informant on intergalactic organised crime. WILL ACCOMMODATE PLAYER’S NEEDS AS SPECIFIED
The Blue Lantern Corps – Although the Guardians devoted themselves to an emotionless, calculative existence, not all them were content with that life. Ganthet and Sayd saw value in emotion, and through the brief darkness that the GLC was plunged into by the Sinestro Corps’ rise, they found hope. Harnessing its blue light, they left the Green Lanterns in order to found the Blue Lantern Corps – the peacekeeping force of the universe. Its first Lantern, Saint Walker, is also its highest ranking one.
The Nova Corps – The Green Lantern Corps’ “younger, smaller cousin”, the Nova Corps was the planet Xandar’s military and exploration division before expanding its reach to the entirety of the Andromeda and Milky Way galaxies. Powered by the Xandarian Worldmind, they work to protect their jurisdiction much in the same way as the as the GLC, sharing a sometimes friendly, sometimes not so friendly rivalry with their green counterparts.

THE GREEN LANTERN CORPS
Alan Scott – The first human Lantern, Alan Scott served Sector 2814 alongside Abin Sur for over three decades before ultimately meeting his fate at the hands of the terrorist cabal, the Sons of Darkseid. A well-respected Lantern, his death and subsequent replacement in Hal was met with shock and disdain by many, who believed that he was a one of a kind human, an outlier amongst humanity’s otherwise primitive stock. His legacy is something that Hal struggled, and continues to struggle with, living up to.
Abin Sur – Alan Scott’s partner, and later Hal Jordan’s partner and mentor. Abin was an Ungaran Lantern, and a great one at that, revered as one of the Corps’ best members. For this he was credited as the reason why Scott rose above his human limitations (which Abin would deny, most often to Hal). Close friends with Sinestro, the shock of discovering the subjugation of Korugar at Thaal’s hands hit Abin harder than it did Hal, and he later met his end while confronting his old friend with Jordan. His ring, once legendary among the Corps, has since been liberated from Abin’s rookie replacement by Sinestro and forged into the first yellow ring, becoming a beacon of terror for the Green Lanterns.
John Stewart – An architect and former U.S. Marine, John became Hal’s partner after Sinestro killed Abin Sur’s replacement and took his ring for his own. Endowed with a newly forged power ring, he was the third human to join the Corps, and soon proved himself as an excellent, headstrong Lantern, playing a pivotal role in the Green Lanterns’ first encounter with Sinestro’s yellow light. Although he and Hal didn’t get along at first, they’ve become brothers since then, knowing that the moment they call their “partner”, he’ll be there. AVAILABLE FOR PLAY – WILL ACCOMMODATE NEEDS AS SPECIFIED
Guy Gardner – An ex-cop and schoolteacher, and the fourth human Lantern. With the rise of the other coloured Lantern Corps, chief among them Sinestro’s, the Guardians felt it necessary to expand the GLC’s limit of two Lanterns per sector to a greater number. Chosen alongside the young Kyle Rayner and eager Amon Sur, Guy left his job as a physical education teacher to serve Sector 2814. Hot headed, brash and often immature, he’s nonetheless proven himself as a great Green Lantern – Hal knows that he can count on him no matter what.
AVAILABLE FOR PLAY – WILL ACCOMMODATE NEEDS AS SPECIFIED
Kyle Rayner – Kyle was a struggling freelance artist, freshly out of college, when he was recruited to join the Lantern Corps. The youngest of Sector 2814’s Lanterns, he was unsure of himself at first, but after going through many gruelling trials on his own, he came to grow in confidence and establish himself as a talented, capable agent of the Corps. Despite this, he remains as the “little brother” of the Earth Lanterns. AVAILABLE FOR PLAY – WILL ACCOMMODATE NEEDS AS SPECIFIED
Jessica Cruz – PLAYED BY @RUBY
Kilowog – A Green Lantern of Sector 0674, Kilowog is a brilliant geneticist hailing from Bolovax Vik. He’s the Corps’ most distinguished recruiter and trainer, his poozers coming out of basic training prepared for whatever their Sector throws at them. A good friend to the Earth Lanterns.
Salaak – The senior administrator of the Corps and keeper of the Book of Oa, Salaak is a dedicated veteran who approaches his job with meticulous professionalism. Stern and by the books, he and Hal have a... complicated relationship.
Tomar Re – A Xudarian Lantern of Sector 2813, Tomar Re was good friends with Abin Sur and Alan Scott prior to their deaths. Now a senior member of the Corps, he works almost exclusively as a trainer, entertaining the thought of retiring his ring.
Arisia Rrab – A Green Lantern of Sector 2815, Arisia was recruited to the Corps when she was a teenager following the death of her father, the Lantern before her. Boisterous, headstrong and capable, she’s proven herself a Lantern of the highest standing.
Katma Tui –The Korugaran replacement for Sinestro, Katma Tui had a tough role to undertake as Green Lantern of Sector 1417. With the Green Lanterns shunned by her home world as symbols of terror and despotism, she struggled to shed the images that Sinestro had painted of the Corps on Korugar, and of Korugar in the Corps. She’s since been able to move past that, establishing herself as a talented, determined Lantern.
Sodam Yat – A rookie, Sodam Yat left his xenophobic world of Daxam behind to protect those that his society shuns. As a Lantern of Sector 1760, he’s eager to prove himself, and looks up to the Earth Lanterns as some of the Corps’ best.
Mogo – A sentient planet, Mogo is a Green Lantern of Sector 2261. Despite the Roche limit imposed upon it, Mogo is an immensely valuable member of the Corps, its power huge – painting a large target upon its surface for any who want to strike a significant blow against the GLC.
The Guardians – The founders of the Green Lantern Corps, the Guardians are a council of immortal Maltusians who have lived throughout much of the universe’s history. Believing themselves to know the best course of action in every situation (as billions of years of experience would do), they’ve cut themselves off from emotions in order to make the “appropriate” objective decisions for the ensured protection of the universe.

ENEMIES
The Sinestro Corps – Wielding Parallax’s yellow light, the Sinestro Corps spreads fear throughout the universe under the banner of a fallen Green Lantern. Wielding Abin Sur’s ring, forged into the first ring of fear, Thaal Sinestro aims to bring order to all Sectors, and through it prove to Hal Jordan and the Guardians that their attempts to “keep the peace” are futile at best. Its ranks made up of the universe’s most fearsome creatures, the Sinestro Corps is a force to be reckoned with.
The Red Lantern Corps – Led by Atrocitus, the Red Lantern Corps channels rage as its weapon in its war against the green light of will, waged for the Rage Entity that calls Atrocitus’ body its home.
The Manhunters – The Green Lantern Corps’ predecessors, the Manhunters are sentient robots that have adapted to their mission of enforcing peace by eradicating all life. Exiled to the far reaches of space, they’ve somehow managed to crawl their way back on more than one occasion, familiarising themselves as enemies of Hal and the rest of the Corps.
The Sons of Darkseid – Zealous worshippers of Apokolips, the Sons of Darkseid are a radical, anti-Green Lantern terrorist cabal who who aim to enforce Darkseid’s will through acts of extreme terror. They are responsible for Alan Scott’s death, and were the target of Jessica Cruz’s multi-year undercover operation. They have no true affiliation with the Apokoliptian ruler.
Thaal Sinestro – Formerly one of the Green Lantern Corps’ best, Abin Sur and Alan Scott’s close friend, and Hal Jordan’s good friend and mentor. Sinestro had all that taken away from him when, through Hal’s initiative, he and Abin Sur discovered the Korugaran’s subjugation of his home planet. With Abin dead and all of Sinestro’s life work for naught, Sinestro strove to prove that his way was the only way. Killing Abin’s replacement and using his ring as the catalyst, he utilised the yellow light of fear and sparked a wave of terror throughout the universe. Now leading his fearsome Corps, he is a figure of ruthlessness and horror, and one of the only men brave enough to openly declare himself as an enemy of the Green Lantern Corps.
Amon Sur – The son of Abin Sur, Amon grew up idolising his father, dreaming of nothing else but becoming a Green Lantern like him. When the GLC expanded, he got his wish, chosen by a power ring alongside Guy Gardner and Kyle Rayner. Fresh out of basic training, he soon came into contact with Sinestro, who felt responsible for the boy in his own twisted way, manipulating him until his perceptions of the Green Lantern Corps were twisted beyond any agreeable form of reality. Giving into hatred and fear, Amon joined the Sinestro Corps despite Hal’s best efforts to stop him, becoming one of Sinestro’s best agents in his Corps of terror.

Red Robin
"We can't change the truth. No matter how much we dislike it"Timothy (Tim) Drake ♦ Twenty ♦ Male ♦ Heroic
Ω C O N C E P T A B S T R A C T:
This version of Tim Drake is following closely to the original canon, albeit with a few slight differences.
Tim Drake has been running solo as the Red Robin for a bit more then a year. With the 'new' robin (Damien Wayne) Tim has felt like Bruce didn't need him anymore. All though he has been running solo, he often helps out and links up with the other members of the bat family, as well as the Titans - to help with tech support and what not.

I will have Tim go with the flow of the plot for a while. Will update this whenever something comes to mind.

Nothing as of yet.

Alfred Pennyworth; To Tim Alfred has always been more then just a butler. He's someone who Tim can rely on whenever he needs advice or help.
Dick Grayson/Nightwing; As well as being Tim's adopted older brother, Dick is a 'work' colleague and close friend.
Damien Wayne; All though they clash quite a bit, they're still brothers.
Stephanie Brown; His ex girlfriend, stopped talking when she was kicked off the team.
Jason Todd/The redhood; All though Jason might have nothing but disdain for him and the rest of the bat family, Tim still considers him his brother.

9am
The sound of cascading water dripping against the pavement woke Tim up. It was morning, unusual for Tim to be awake at this time. Rolling out of Bed he moved towards his cupboards. Stacks of folded clothes lined the insides of his drawers, Tim reached inside, pulling out a set of shirt and pants. His mind was racing with thoughts, a genius like him was always thinking. Pulling his shirt over his head he threaded his arms through their respective holes, stepping into his pants. He pulled them up his legs, walking to his bedroom door shortly afterwards. Hand wrapped around the doorhandle, the cold wood creating a tingling feeling. He pulled the door open, walking towards the staircase a few meters outside of his room. Soft yet deep breaths escaped his lips as he walked down the steps, slowly descending them until he arrived in the hallway. He walked slowly into the kitchen, opening his mouth to speak as he saw Alfred. His tongue clicked, his voice soft yet thoughtful;
“Good morning Alfred.” He nodded after he spoke, sitting down on one of the chairs within the kitchen.
“Can I get you anything, Master Tim?” Alfred was an old man and had been around even before Tim. Ever since Tim was adopted by Bruce, Alfred has been there for him almost like a grandfather. However, since Alfred was so old, Tim's interaction with him was rapidly declining.
“Just a coffee thanks. How are you today Alfred?” Alfred nodded and shuffled towards the coffee machine. Usually Alfred would make the coffee himself, but since he was old he took the quickest way possible. The machine buzzed to life, awaiting instructions from the man controlling it. Hot liquid poured into the mug beneath it, filling it about a quarter of the way.
“I’m doing well, how about yourself?” Alfred spoke whilst finishing off the hot beverage. Once done he shuffled back towards Tim, handing him the hot mug. Tim nodded, taking the mug out of Alfred’s worn and frail hands.
“That’s great to hear, I’m all right.” Tim sighed softly after he spoke. Taking small sips from the beverage in his hand. The liquid burnt his throat, however he kept drinking. After a few short minutes, Tim decided to stand up, his tongue clicking once more as he spoke again.
“I’m heading down Alfred, take good care of yourself.” Taking the mug in his hand he stepped silently towards the entrance of the batcave, the grandfather clock. Wrapping his soft yet stern freehand around the hands of the clock, he spun them so that they displayed the time 10:48; the time Bruce’s parents were murdered. The clock clicked and then started to move to the side. A panel behind the clock opened, revealing the entrance to the batcave. Slowly and quietly Tim stepped down the dark steps, until he reached the bottom. His hand found its way to a switch at the end of the stairs. Pulling down the lever the lights began to flicker, and after a few moments the cave lit up. Tim’s green eyes bounced around the large room, many different trophies and vehicles were scattered around it. Tim made his way to the centre of the room, where the bat-computer was located. He sat in the chair, placing his coffee onto the desk. Silently he booted up the computer, multiple files displayed on the large screen. He breathed in, his eyes reading them carefully.

I'm sorry @Lord Wraith I've been trying but Cap and Hulk... they just ain't coming.
I think I'll have to call quits on them :'(
If easier, I can delete my posts if anyone else wants to take them on.

I'll see where I am once Wolverine's posted up to date. I have reams of Banner notes I can try to put to good use.

If I ignore this, you still have to post right?
Coming back as DD.
Woot, woot!
As discussed on the Discord server, I'll be dropping both Spidey and Flash, on account of struggling with writing them and finding the motivation for it. If anyone's interested in Peter, feel free to handwave my posts as non-canon. Have at it.
In the meantime, I'll be thinking of another concept I can bring to the table.
If I ignore this, you still have to post right?
C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T P R O P O S A LBronze 🐅 Tiger"Is that all you've got?"Benjamin 'Ben' Turner ♦ May 1st, 1992 ( 25 ) ♦ Straight Male ♦ Neutral Good🐅 C O N C E P T A B S T R A C T:This take on DC's Bronze Tiger is changed up in a way to integrate him into the cast of Black Panther and the nation of Wakanda to add a little more flavor to the whole concept. His new origin involves Prince T'Challa being crippled, Shuri (sister of the mainstream Black Panther) taking over as the Black Panther as she's done recently in the comics, and 'Tiger trying to find his place in a world with every type of hero and villain running around. Bronze Tiger's time in the Suicide Squad will be left out however his being a brainwashed instrument of the League of Assassins will have recently happened. As well as going at it in hand to hand with Batman and besting him.🐅 Plots and Story Arcs:- 50 Shades of Bronze:The opening arc will deal with recently being brainwashed by the League of Assassins and returning back to Wakanda. Turner will suffer from slight PTSD, and it will show in the field protecting the city as well as interacting with Shuri (the new/current Black Panther). They'll both deal with enemies such as Barricade and Carnivore. Ben's fifty shades of messed up. Things get even stranger when Baron Macabre rolls into town raising the dead.- Way of the Fists:After Shuri insists she can protect Wakanda on her own, Ben travels to China to meet an old friend when he's caught up in a fight with a man who can become seven individual versions of himself. The man known as Seven Deadly Brothers was once a hero in the late 90's and early 00's in the Chinese superteam the Great Ten. He was now washed up and resentful of modern heroes. After the Chinese superhuman puts lives at risk trying to stop a rampaging Godzilla like creature in Hong Kong, Ben challenges him to one on one combat. The man only knows seven forms of martial arts and Ben's one of the best fighters in the world.- League of His Own:After the adventure in China Ben Turner lands back in America. After visiting Louisiana during Mardi Gras season, he settles down in St. Roch. Famous for being the last place Hawkman settled down, it's now infamous for some of the his enemies who survived since the winged hero's demise years earlier. How will the Bronze Tiger contend with Lion-Mane, Bloque, and Hummingbird? And who else will come to town to give the hero an assist?🐅 N O T E S:* Ben has roughly 4-5 years experience since coming to Wakanda. He was under the control of the League of Assassins for the last seven months and bested Batman twice before the caped crusader helped Ben break free of the League's mind controlling drug.
* Ben studied karate, kung-fu, Greco-Roman wrestling, Krav Maga, and kickboxing between the age of nine to twenty before moving to Wakanda. Since being trained by Prince T'Challa's father, King T'Chaka, Ben has studied in three forms of Wakandan martial arts including the Panther and Ape styles as well as the Tiger. During his time under the control of the League of Assassins he studied at an alarming rate at least another half dozen fighting styles.
* When deciding on a code-name for himself Ben considered White Tiger, Red Lion, Coal Tiger, and the Puma.
* The scar across his face came from the day he stepped in to save the life of Prince T'Challa. After the enemies were taken down, Shuri mistook Ben for another enemy and slashed him with a blade before he disarmed her.
* His suit is made of vibranium mesh and the retractable claws in the fingers are solid vibranium.
* Ben went to college in America for medical studies from the age of 17-20 before moving to Wakanda.🐅 R E F E R E N C E S:
I dabble with both DC and Marvel stuff implanting 'Tiger firmly into the realm of Wakanda before bringing him back to the 'States to face off against some old Hawkman rogues in Louisiana. Already discussed some of the stuff with @Lord Wraith.- Ω -
The biggest problem with the CS is that T'Chaka was only just killed at the start of the IC. Even if that were edited to have T'Challa crippled there or killed in his stead, it severely would screw up the timeline presented in your CS.

Space cop stories, with a little more focus on the “cop” side of things. The Green Lantern Corps operates in an intergalactic jurisdiction, as dictated by its own laws. Lanterns don’t enforce the laws of one planet, but rather, laws that apply to the entire universe as an intergalactic melting pot of society. A murder in neutral space is Hal’s business, as is the killing of an ice hauler, or an interplanetary weapons smuggling ring – to name a few. While elements of the cosmic epic that’s usually associated with the GLC will remain a part of Hal’s story, I want to aim for a “galactic street level” feel, where Hal and co. deal with crime and other threats to the universe with a more distinct cop-like approach.
This Hal is different from the one in mainstream continuity due to one big difference: Alan Scott preceded him, and was the one to pass on his ring before dying. Partnered up with Abin Sur, this would eventually lead to him trying to live up to two legacies: that of the first human Lantern, and that of his mentor and friend. This changes a few things in the Corps’ history during the ten years that Hal’s been active, most of which have been briefly detailed in the Notes section. Other than that, it’s the same ol’ Hal. A bit more of a cop, sure – but it’s him.P L O T M O C K - U PC H A P T E R O N ELANTERN FALLF E A T . J E S S I C A C R U Z
<Snipped quote>N O T E SALLIES, FRIENDS AND FAMILYThe Jordan Family – With Martin and Jessica Jordan both no longer with us, only their children and their children’s children remain. Jack Jordan, their eldest child, works as a councilman in Coast City’s civic centre; his mother’s son even after her death, he still holds resentment for what he believes Hal’s desertion to the Air Force did to her health. James, their youngest son, is an I.T. consultant who has a beautiful wife, Susan Jordan (née Williams), and three amazing kids – Howard, Jane and Arthur. As close with Hal as two brothers can be, Jim is well aware of his identity as Green Lantern, as is the rest of his family, and often serves as a sponge for Hal’s frustrations with the job – absorbing them all without complaint.
Carol Ferris – Hal’s (on and off) girlfriend of many years, Carol’s had to put up with much of the man’s crap, and has learned through harsh experience that loving a Green Lantern is no easy thing. But time has only served to strengthen their bond, and through everything they remain together, despite the long absences Hal’s duties often call for. Carol spends her days running Ferris Air and its two branches, Ferris Aircraft and Ferris Airlines, while also taking a company jet out for a spin every once in a while.
Tom Kalmaku – Hal’s closest friend at Ferris Air besides Carol, Tom was the first to know of his identity as Green Lantern. Formerly a mechanic, he now works in an administrative position at Ferris, helping Carol manage the chaos that’s running a multi-billion dollar airline and aircraft manufacturer.

The Blue Lantern Corps – Although the Guardians devoted themselves to an emotionless, calculative existence, not all them were content with that life. Ganthet and Sayd saw value in emotion, and through the brief darkness that the GLC was plunged into by the Sinestro Corps’ rise, they found hope. Harnessing its blue light, they left the Green Lanterns in order to found the Blue Lantern Corps – the peacekeeping force of the universe. Its first Lantern, Saint Walker, is also its highest ranking one.
The Nova Corps – The Green Lantern Corps’ “younger, smaller cousin”, the Nova Corps was the planet Xandar’s military and exploration division before expanding its reach to the entirety of the Andromeda and Milky Way galaxies. Powered by the Xandarian Worldmind, they work to protect their jurisdiction much in the same way as the as the GLC, sharing a sometimes friendly, sometimes not so friendly rivalry with their green counterparts.THE GREEN LANTERN CORPSAlan Scott – The first human Lantern, Alan Scott served Sector 2814 alongside Abin Sur for over three decades before ultimately meeting his fate at the hands of the terrorist cabal, the Sons of Darkseid. A well-respected Lantern, his death and subsequent replacement in Hal was met with shock and disdain by many, who believed that he was a one of a kind human, an outlier amongst humanity’s otherwise primitive stock. His legacy is something that Hal struggled, and continues to struggle with, living up to.
Abin Sur – Alan Scott’s partner, and later Hal Jordan’s partner and mentor. Abin was an Ungaran Lantern, and a great one at that, revered as one of the Corps’ best members. For this he was credited as the reason why Scott rose above his human limitations (which Abin would deny, most often to Hal). Close friends with Sinestro, the shock of discovering the subjugation of Korugar at Thaal’s hands hit Abin harder than it did Hal, and he later met his end while confronting his old friend with Jordan. His ring, once legendary among the Corps, has since been liberated from Abin’s rookie replacement by Sinestro and forged into the first yellow ring, becoming a beacon of terror for the Green Lanterns.
John Stewart – An architect and former U.S. Marine, John became Hal’s partner after Sinestro killed Abin Sur’s replacement and took his ring for his own. Endowed with a newly forged power ring, he was the third human to join the Corps, and soon proved himself as an excellent, headstrong Lantern, playing a pivotal role in the Green Lanterns’ first encounter with Sinestro’s yellow light. Although he and Hal didn’t get along at first, they’ve become brothers since then, knowing that the moment they call their “partner”, he’ll be there. AVAILABLE FOR PLAY – WILL ACCOMMODATE NEEDS AS SPECIFIED
Guy Gardner – An ex-cop and schoolteacher, and the fourth human Lantern. With the rise of the other coloured Lantern Corps, chief among them Sinestro’s, the Guardians felt it necessary to expand the GLC’s limit of two Lanterns per sector to a greater number. Chosen alongside the young Kyle Rayner and eager Amon Sur, Guy left his job as a physical education teacher to serve Sector 2814. Hot headed, brash and often immature, he’s nonetheless proven himself as a great Green Lantern – Hal knows that he can count on him no matter what.
AVAILABLE FOR PLAY – WILL ACCOMMODATE NEEDS AS SPECIFIED
Kyle Rayner – Kyle was a struggling freelance artist, freshly out of college, when he was recruited to join the Lantern Corps. The youngest of Sector 2814’s Lanterns, he was unsure of himself at first, but after going through many gruelling trials on his own, he came to grow in confidence and establish himself as a talented, capable agent of the Corps. Despite this, he remains as the “little brother” of the Earth Lanterns. AVAILABLE FOR PLAY – WILL ACCOMMODATE NEEDS AS SPECIFIED
Jessica Cruz – PLAYED BY @RUBY
Kilowog – A Green Lantern of Sector 0674, Kilowog is a brilliant geneticist hailing from Bolovax Vik. He’s the Corps’ most distinguished recruiter and trainer, his poozers coming out of basic training prepared for whatever their Sector throws at them. A good friend to the Earth Lanterns.
Salaak – The senior administrator of the Corps and keeper of the Book of Oa, Salaak is a dedicated veteran who approaches his job with meticulous professionalism. Stern and by the books, he and Hal have a... complicated relationship.
Tomar Re – A Xudarian Lantern of Sector 2813, Tomar Re was good friends with Abin Sur and Alan Scott prior to their deaths. Now a senior member of the Corps, he works almost exclusively as a trainer, entertaining the thought of retiring his ring.
Arisia Rrab – A Green Lantern of Sector 2815, Arisia was recruited to the Corps when she was a teenager following the death of her father, the Lantern before her. Boisterous, headstrong and capable, she’s proven herself a Lantern of the highest standing.
Katma Tui –The Korugaran replacement for Sinestro, Katma Tui had a tough role to undertake as Green Lantern of Sector 1417. With the Green Lanterns shunned by her home world as symbols of terror and despotism, she struggled to shed the images that Sinestro had painted of the Corps on Korugar, and of Korugar in the Corps. She’s since been able to move past that, establishing herself as a talented, determined Lantern.
Sodam Yat – A rookie, Sodam Yat left his xenophobic world of Daxam behind to protect those that his society shuns. As a Lantern of Sector 1760, he’s eager to prove himself, and looks up to the Earth Lanterns as some of the Corps’ best.
Mogo – A sentient planet, Mogo is a Green Lantern of Sector 2261. Despite the Roche limit imposed upon it, Mogo is an immensely valuable member of the Corps, its power huge – painting a large target upon its surface for any who want to strike a significant blow against the GLC.
The Guardians – The founders of the Green Lantern Corps, the Guardians are a council of immortal Maltusians who have lived throughout much of the universe’s history. Believing themselves to know the best course of action in every situation (as billions of years of experience would do), they’ve cut themselves off from emotions in order to make the “appropriate” objective decisions for the ensured protection of the universe.ENEMIESThe Sinestro Corps – Wielding Parallax’s yellow light, the Sinestro Corps spreads fear throughout the universe under the banner of a fallen Green Lantern. Wielding Abin Sur’s ring, forged into the first ring of fear, Thaal Sinestro aims to bring order to all Sectors, and through it prove to Hal Jordan and the Guardians that their attempts to “keep the peace” are futile at best. Its ranks made up of the universe’s most fearsome creatures, the Sinestro Corps is a force to be reckoned with.Thaal Sinestro – Formerly one of the Green Lantern Corps’ best, Abin Sur and Alan Scott’s close friend, and Hal Jordan’s good friend and mentor. Sinestro had all that taken away from him when, through Hal’s initiative, he and Abin Sur discovered the Korugaran’s subjugation of his home planet. With Abin dead and all of Sinestro’s life work for naught, Sinestro strove to prove that his way was the only way. Killing Abin’s replacement and using his ring as the catalyst, he utilised the yellow light of fear and sparked a wave of terror throughout the universe. Now leading his fearsome Corps, he is a figure of ruthlessness and horror, and one of the only men brave enough to openly declare himself as an enemy of the Green Lantern Corps.
Amon Sur – The son of Abin Sur, Amon grew up idolising his father, dreaming of nothing else but becoming a Green Lantern like him. When the GLC expanded, he got his wish, chosen by a power ring alongside Guy Gardner and Kyle Rayner. Fresh out of basic training, he soon came into contact with Sinestro, who felt responsible for the boy in his own twisted way, manipulating him until his perceptions of the Green Lantern Corps were twisted beyond any agreeable form of reality. Giving into hatred and fear, Amon joined the Sinestro Corps despite Hal’s best efforts to stop him, becoming one of Sinestro’s best agents in his Corps of terror.
The Red Lantern Corps – Led by Atrocitus, the Red Lantern Corps channels rage as its weapon in its war against the green light of will, waged for the Rage Entity that calls Atrocitus’ body its home.
The Manhunters – The Green Lantern Corps’ predecessors, the Manhunters are sentient robots that have adapted to their mission of enforcing peace by eradicating all life. Exiled to the far reaches of space, they’ve somehow managed to crawl their way back on more than one occasion, familiarising themselves as enemies of Hal and the rest of the Corps.
The Sons of Darkseid – Zealous worshippers of Apokolips, the Sons of Darkseid are a radical, anti-Green Lantern terrorist cabal who who aim to enforce Darkseid’s will through acts of extreme terror. They are responsible for Alan Scott’s death, and were the target of Jessica Cruz’s multi-year undercover operation. They have no true affiliation with the Apokoliptian ruler.

Take #2 – this time with direction, and plot! Wally’s a young guy who’s still trying to figure out his own identity as the Flash. He hung up his Kid Flash ‘stume around three years ago, becoming the third Flash with Barry’s (who’s alive and well, ready to be picked up) blessing. Graduating into Titans seniority, he juggles his time as a leader and mentor to the younger heroes with his own heroic duties, as well as his job as an assistant mechanic at S.T.A.R. Labs. Maybe it’s because of this that he feels like his relationship with Linda is on shaky ground – with his life so hectic and often unpredictable, he wonders if there’s any room left for her. He loves her, yes... but is that enough? Ultimately, I want to try my hand at fun character-driven stories that’ll see Wally come into his own as the Scarlet Speedster, with plenty of action, romance and superheroic craziness.

ALLIES AND FRIENDS
ENEMIES
THE WEST FAMILY TREE
ALLIES AND FRIENDS
Iris Ann West-Allen – Known to Wally as Aunt Iris, she’s been a mother to him ever since he was a kid, spending time with him when his parents neglected him. A successful and well-known journalist, much of her prosperity is owed to her investigative and civics pieces – as a prominent voice in Central City, she’s one of its most publicly known citizens, almost (but not quite) as well known as Metropolis’ Lois Lane.
Linda Park – Wally’s girlfriend of four years, Linda works as a reporter at WKEY Channel 4 News. She is well aware of his activities as the Flash.
Barry Allen // The Flash (II) – Wally’s mentor and uncle, Barry’s the second person to take on the identity of the Flash. He now happily shares the name with Wally, believing his nephew to own it just as much as he does. AVAILABLE FOR PLAY – HAPPY TO DISCUSS
Bart Allen // Kid Flash – Barry’s grandson, Bart hails from the future. Having inherited the Allen family’s speed, he’s a junior member of the Titans, and has been since he first arrived at present day.
Jason “Jay” Garrick // The Flash (I) – The original Flash, Jay’s connection to the Speed Force has allowed him to live far longer than his beloved wife, Joan. Having lived through more than most, he’s a ninety-nine year-old source of boundless wisdom, making it through World War Two, Vietnam, and the rise of metahumanity, as well as helping found the Justice Society – and he only looks like he’s in his early sixties. Wally’s personal hero since childhood, he’s always there when the young West needs some guidance.
Dick Grayson // Nightwing – Wally’s best friend since he first started out as Kid Flash. Fellow field team leader of the Titans. PLAYED BY @INK BLOOD
Roy Harper // Arsenal – Wally’s other best friend since he started out with the Teen Titans. Fellow Field team leader of the Titans. AVAILABLE FOR PLAY – HAPPY TO DISCUSS

C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T P R O P O S A LRed Robin"We can't change the truth. No matter how much we dislike it"Timothy (Tim) Drake ♦ Twenty ♦ Male ♦ HeroicΩ C O N C E P T A B S T R A C T:This version of Tim Drake is following closely to the original canon, albeit with a few slight differences.
Tim Drake has been running solo as the Red Robin for a bit more then a year. With the 'new' robin (Damien Wayne) Tim has felt like Bruce didn't need him anymore. All though he has been running solo, he often helps out and links up with the other members of the bat family, as well as the Titans - to help with tech support and what not.
Ω A R C I D E A S:I will have Tim go with the flow of the plot for a while. Will update this whenever something comes to mind.Ω N O T E S:Nothing as of yet.Batman/Bruce Wayne: The man who took Tim in when he had nothing.
Alfred Pennyworth; To Tim Alfred has always been more then just a butler. He's someone who Tim can rely on whenever he needs advice or help.
Dick Grayson/Nightwing; As well as being Tim's adopted older brother, Dick is a 'work' colleague and close friend.
Damien Wayne; All though they clash quite a bit, they're still brothers.
Stephanie Brown; His ex girlfriend, stopped talking when she was kicked off the team.
Jason Todd/The redhood; All though Jason might have nothing but disdain for him and the rest of the bat family, Tim still considers him his brother.Gotham City
Wayne Manor
9am
The sound of cascading water dripping against the pavement woke Tim up. It was morning, unusual for Tim to be awake at this time. Rolling out of Bed he moved towards his cupboards. Stacks of folded clothes lined the insides of his drawers, Tim reached inside, pulling out a set of shirt and pants. His mind was racing with thoughts, a genius like him was always thinking. Pulling his shirt over his head he threaded his arms through their respective holes, stepping into his pants. He pulled them up his legs, walking to his bedroom door shortly afterwards. Hand wrapped around the doorhandle, the cold wood creating a tingling feeling. He pulled the door open, walking towards the staircase a few meters outside of his room. Soft yet deep breaths escaped his lips as he walked down the steps, slowly descending them until he arrived in the hallway. He walked slowly into the kitchen, opening his mouth to speak as he saw Alfred. His tongue clicked, his voice soft yet thoughtful;
“Good morning Alfred.” He nodded after he spoke, sitting down on one of the chairs within the kitchen.
“Can I get you anything, Master Tim?” Alfred was an old man and had been around even before Tim. Ever since Tim was adopted by Bruce, Alfred has been there for him almost like a grandfather. However, since Alfred was so old, Tim's interaction with him was rapidly declining.
“Just a coffee thanks. How are you today Alfred?” Alfred nodded and shuffled towards the coffee machine. Usually Alfred would make the coffee himself, but since he was old he took the quickest way possible. The machine buzzed to life, awaiting instructions from the man controlling it. Hot liquid poured into the mug beneath it, filling it about a quarter of the way.
“I’m doing well, how about yourself?” Alfred spoke whilst finishing off the hot beverage. Once done he shuffled back towards Tim, handing him the hot mug. Tim nodded, taking the mug out of Alfred’s worn and frail hands.
“That’s great to hear, I’m all right.” Tim sighed softly after he spoke. Taking small sips from the beverage in his hand. The liquid burnt his throat, however he kept drinking. After a few short minutes, Tim decided to stand up, his tongue clicking once more as he spoke again.
“I’m heading down Alfred, take good care of yourself.” Taking the mug in his hand he stepped silently towards the entrance of the batcave, the grandfather clock. Wrapping his soft yet stern freehand around the hands of the clock, he spun them so that they displayed the time 10:48; the time Bruce’s parents were murdered. The clock clicked and then started to move to the side. A panel behind the clock opened, revealing the entrance to the batcave. Slowly and quietly Tim stepped down the dark steps, until he reached the bottom. His hand found its way to a switch at the end of the stairs. Pulling down the lever the lights began to flicker, and after a few moments the cave lit up. Tim’s green eyes bounced around the large room, many different trophies and vehicles were scattered around it. Tim made his way to the centre of the room, where the bat-computer was located. He sat in the chair, placing his coffee onto the desk. Silently he booted up the computer, multiple files displayed on the large screen. He breathed in, his eyes reading them carefully.
So, the biggest issue with this sheet overall is that there's really no plot for Tim to just follow along with. We really need strong self directed players in this RP.
