I mean because we're putting our own spins on the characters you really don't need much more knowledge of the characters.
I'm much more of a nerd now but back when I started with this lot, which was a while ago now, I had only seen the MCU (I think Avengers may have been out? Maybe not quite yet) and the Dark Knight movies.
True, and what I know about Jason comes from parts of a movie I watched, a game he was in, stuff I heard about, and the wiki yesterday.
M I S C E L L A N E O U S ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ► Kara has long been part of the upper crust of society, and a veteran of cotillions and charity events and the drama inherit with the life. There are times she's an outsider, there are times she's a societal power-broker for those her age. Rather tellingly, she has two close friends amongst a sea of 'friends.' And none, of course, at her new school.
►Kara is fairly good at not killing people or crushing things at this point, though plenty of damage has been quietly paid for or swept under exotic Persian rugs. A lot of these cover-ups have led to a reputation among high society that Kara Luthor is a bad girl with a destructive streak, a true upper class rebel.
►Although Lionel and Lex have dragged her into the narcissistic muck from time to time, Kara remains a kind person at heart. She knows the names of every staff member of the home, keeps in touch with old nannies, and is generally considered a stealth sweetheart under a cold exterior by those who have spent any real time with her. Those who don't know her assume this is the act, and the Machiavellian rich girl who doesn't care about leaving destruction in her wake is the real Kara.
►All Kara recalls about her pre-adoption past is the nice old lady who found her and helped her, the cop who checked in on her, and the dream of a white skinned woman followed by the sound of fluttering wings. The only thing she truly recalls in detail is the white skinned woman telling her, "Despair won't like this, but this isn't your time little one."
What if Kara Zor-El arrived first, much younger when she arrived and ended up adopted by Lionel Luthor?
Still a child when she was adopted, Lionel Luthor was a struggling businessman, a minority partner of a meager polymer company. The story was always through a charity for orphans he contributed to it was arranged he would foster the girl, and without finding a home he found suitable, took her into his family permanently. Good fortune and hard work, cunning and intellect, helped him create LuthorCorp: a company that would come to define bleeding edge technology thereafter. Lionel leaves out the violence and injustice done to the old woman who found Kara. Or that LuthorCorp was built on the back of the vessel that brought Kara to Earth. The very A.I. meant to guide and counsel Kara shackled and stripped, leveraged into helping Lionel.
Lionel's wife had passed a mere few years before Kara's arrival. The home was stoic, cold, and distant; Lionel had no patience for disobedience. Yet the first few years after Kara's arrival to the Luthor home saw Lionel at least try, and Kara found a willing partner in navigating the ebbs and flows of Lionel's moods in Lex, Lionel's only child, three years her senior. Whether it was the incredibly strict rules, the gaslighting of Lionel, Lex was there to help Kara navigate Lionel's narcissism.
When Lionel would try to pit Kara and Lex against each other, it rarely worked, and when it did the two were quick to apologize to the other and admit their wrongs. Over time both Lex and Kara excelled in academics, both focused on STEM. It was, to Lionel, proof Kara was one of them. Both began spending time at LuthorCorp, though eventually Kara made the decision to attend a university away from the LuthorCorps HQ. In the few friends she had, including Lex, she admitted to just wanting distance to find herself. In truth, she needs to hide powers she doesn't fully understand, let alone fully control.
What Lex uncovered at LuthorCorp after Kara left shocked him, disgusted him, and left him in a cold rage.
P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S )
Kara tries to run away from the narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy of her adopted family, but with secrets buried as deeply as they are within this family, not even Supergirl can escape that gravity. At the same time, and likely no coincidence, Kara's powers begin to really develop.
What results could make King Lear blush as Lionel, Lex, and Kara each navigate the maze of deceptions and buried secrets. Kara stumbles upon a new reporter with a killer instinct for the Luthor's named Lois Lane, as the two begin an uneasy alliance of necessity.
Lionel and Lex clash, Kara learns more than she ever dreamed (or dreaded) she might, Supergirl emerges, and what remains of Krypton comes for the Last Daughter. All the while Kara tries to navigate the life of a wealthy heiress and university student.
MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPARSIN.
You have been weighed. Measured. And found acceptable. Welcome in, Rubes.
If we have any app for Captain America in prime later, I'm open to retroactively changing this next one.
I don't want to hold anyone's great concept to a cameo flashback with no dialogue in mine - the character's popular and I'm surprised we haven't had anything yet.
It was honestly a top up between me running Old Man Cap again or Thor.
Did I make the right decision? I don't know. Maybe?
i sooo wanna be apart of this. only problem is that i have no ideas yet LMAO
the urge to show off my hyperfixations is strong.. did you know in a universe the teenage mutant ninja turtles got mutated with the same ooze as daredevil?
Toying with a second sheet to have someone more for collaboration and based actually on Prime Earth instead of galavanting around the known galaxies all the time.
i have an annoyance that isnt anything like canon. if ya don't like em, its all good. just tell me how to make him more fucked up and ill do it :)

Thor was good, and Loki was bad. That was how they were always supposed to be. But what if it was flopped? What if Loki was good.. and Thor was the bad one? While Loki had always lied and pretended things were different, he knew he was nothing like Thor. He has spirit, and courage, and he knows he was better. Loki didn't think as highly of himself, and his mother taught him all he knew. His brother sook for revenge against the Jotunn, the idea that they were horrible and needed to be defeated was great. Thor's friends were quick to follow, but Loki reluctantly followed. He forever regretted what he did- Finding out that he was jotunn. Yelling at his father, getting sentenced to earth and his powers taken away from him and when his brother became king and he stranded himself on earth, all he knew was that he was alone, and all he had was his mad search for his dagger that his father placed a spell unto Loki took thor's place in all these events, and he had to learn how to be better then he was before. Sure, he's just as snarky and annoying as ever, but his brother.. his heart was corrupted by revenge and anger. Thor never met jane, instead loki did. Well, he didnt have the romance that thor was suppose to, but he did become a companion despite his annoyingness. Even though he's a hero now, he isn't perfect. He still has a bunch of things he needs to fix about himself- and fix in general. Especially about that one dare he did... sheesh.
P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ):
This guys whole thing is that i want to write a guy that was definitely an asshole, and still kinda is, but he's on the heroes side. His entire character I've thought could of gone either way from the thor movie- as a hero or bad guy, but there was that defining moment that showed that he was a bad guy when avengers movie came around. I want to show a guy becoming a better person through the people around them- not actively trying to be better, but getting morals rubbed onto him.
C H A R A C T E R N O T E S:
No, this isn't my simp girl "omg he's actually a good guy!!" kinda thing. I do understand that he is a villain, that he is a bad person, but i can tell that the starting point of it was the first thor movie. Instead, Thor is the one who continues with his egotistical ways, and believes that he is better then everyone and can defeat all- even ignoring people who get hurt when he is doing what he believes is right.

________________________________________________________________________________________ ...BRUCE WAYNE DIED AND LEFT HIS LEGACY AND FORTUNE TO DICK GRAYSON?
THE BATMAN IS DEAD. LONG LIVE THE BATMAN.
Following the death of Bruce Wayne, his adopted son and former ward and first Robin, Richard 'Dick' Grayson has assumed the responsibilities and roles of his mentor. This includes the day-to-day operations at Wayne Enterprises, his accounts and vast fortune, but most importantly the role of Gotham's Dark Knight.
Trained from the age of twelve, Dick Grayson has been prepared almost his whole life to step out of his mentor's shadow and don the cowl of the Bat. Along the way, he's known as the Boy Wonder, Robin and the Bright Knight of Blüdhaven, Nightwing. Along the way, Dick has tangled with numerous members of Bruce's rogue gallery and even built a collection of his own.
P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S )
As most of you know, Dick Grayson is my favourite character in all of comics and I often like to portray him in these games. Given the premise of this game, I thought it'd be fun to portray a Dick Grayson who has been forced to put his life on hold to preserve the legacy of his father, Bruce Wayne. Ideally, this will give me an avenue to show a Dick Grayson struggling with self-identity, legacy and duty all the while fighting the usual evils that lurk within Gotham's walls.
A character open to collaborating with other players for team ups and guest appearances, I want to build on the mythos of the Batman, with Bruce having operated for a number of years prior to the modern era, albeit fairly independently and free of teams and other obligations outside of the Bat-Family.
In terms of Bat-Family characters, I'm setting the stage with Bruce's death, the circumstances and cause of which will be kept ambiguous in line with the 'Secret Invasion' premise until later.

Why do you want to play this character, what is the driving motivation behind both this desire and the character themselves. What do you hope to accomplish and where do you want the character's story/stories to go? For a driving character, there should be enough of an outline to interest other players along with specifications towards how many players you wantg to involve or available roles. For supporting characters, this should indicate either a plot you've arranged to be part of or the type of plot you're looking to be involved in. Roaming characters have the privilege of doing either or simply stating a roadmap for the character to exemplify how you'd ideally like them to move between plots.

S U P P O R T I N G C A S T ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Allies: ►Aristotle "Tot" Rodor - Vic's father figure and mentor, a former chemist and retired university professor who designed Vic's mask and is responsible for finally correcting the mistake in the binary gas that made it toxic to open wounds. He is a constant pillar of support for Vic, both in and out of his guise as the Question, though the old man has a rather sardonic way of showing his love, usually found chiding the young man. ►Myra Fermin - Vic's former lover and sister of his long time object of hatred Wesley Fermin, currently head of public relations on her brother's mayoral cabinet. She and Vic are estranged; though they once loved each other, Vic's unyielding antipathy towards her brother and the subsequent article he wrote for the Gazette drove them apart. ►Samuel "Sam" Starr - Vic's boss and friend, owner of Starrstruck Media Inc., a news outlet in Hub City that focuses on political scandals and gossip, namely in the Hub but also in other cities around the US such as New York, Metropolis, Gotham, and so on. Though he and Sam are friendly, Vic can't help but wonder if his boss truly cares for him or simply the traffic his articles seem to attract to their site. ►Richard Dragon - Vic's mentor in the ways of Zen and martial arts, once a world famous martial artist and adventurer who now lives isolated in the woods, hoping to attain enlightenment. Though Vic doesn't know if he will ever see the man again, he is grateful for all that Dragon passed onto him either way. ►Lady Shiva - The woman who ended Vic's life and then saved it, a deadly assassin and mercenary who works for all manner of clientele. Vic can't seem to get a read on her, no matter how much he tries, and he isn't sure if he'll ever know why she saved his life.
Enemies: ►Wesley Fermin - Vic's primary target, Hub City's corrupt mayor who is in bed with the Gospel of Sinners. Vic, prior to this point, had made it his life's mission to take Fermin and everything he built down; now, he simply hopes to bring answers to the people of Hub City by bringing him to justice. ►Reverend Jeremiah Hatch - An evangelist with a podcast and web show, as well as the founder and head of the Gospel of Sinners, Hub City's resident mafia. Vic doesn't even know of his involvement with the Sinners, though he will soon find out. -
... SIMPLE UNICYCLE ACTUALLY COMMITTED TO A QUESTION RUN? A year ago, the Question vanished without a trace. Most people thought him dead, knocked off by Hub City's own crime syndicate the Gospel of Sinners, which wasn't too far from the truth. A brutal beating and an air gun pellet to the head was bad enough, but the dip in the icy Hupert River sealed the deal: The Question was dead.
And then he lived again.
After being saved by Lady Shiva, Vic was sent off to train with Richard Dragon, once a premier martial artist and adventurer who was now living as a hermit in the woods. Sage spent a year with Dragon, training in the martial arts and taking on his mentor's Zen philosophy. When it was time for Vic to leave, Dragon left him with these words: "I think it is more likely you are the butterfly, dreaming you are the man."
Now, Vic Sage returns to Hub City, intent on dismantling the Gospel Of Sinners once and for all.

My plot will be a self-contained reimagining of the '87 Question comic written by the late great Dennis O'Neil (with elements of Lemire's The Deaths of Vic Sage), using the overarching plot as a blueprint but modernizing it and adding my own twists and turns to the plot. I'm always down for collaboration if someone wants to join in on the fun.
As you can see by the post catalog not being empty, this is a continuation of my run in One Universe: Unlimited. I felt that I had a really solid run on my hands but life got in the way and I wasn't able to see it through. Now that another one of these RPs has popped up again, I want to pick things up where I left off.
