Since Wraith has allowed secondary characters, I think it's time to give Enarr a run for his money.T H E Q U E S T I O N

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.

W H A T I F . . . ?... 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.________________________________________________________________________________________P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S )
P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S )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.
The Question of Earth-11380451 is accepted.
Looks like Loki, the Fantastic Four and the Superior Rogues are all still WIPs so I will wait to be notified otherwise.
