No no, GMs have to play nice and be diplomatic. I have to do that in another thread.

Applying for Lanterns again, but i'm going back to basics, trying something a bit different, even if i think the structure of the previous one worked and as much as i'd love to try it again, i doubt it'd be accepted. So i think i'm gonna try something a little... Closer to the original characters, but along the same lines of story.

Leaving this here, I might tweak it still prior to reposting in the OOC, but my base concept:

I personally don't have an issue with having a Lantern kicking around, not to speak for the Master, but Mogul is something we're not really wanting to get into and explore yet. He's a much bigger threat than what we're aiming for, and given the status are heroes are in... We'll I don't think we'd survive a visit from the War World

I await the master to tell me I am out of bounds

@Sep The villain is always up for debate. Honestly, if there was gonna be a War World visit, the entire battle would be focused entirely on Coast City or maybe have them lure it to the Moon so that the battle doesn't spill over to other peoples story, unless they specifically want it to.

Id say change the villain as war Works and Mongul would pretty much wipe us out

@Sep Well, the main point of the story is to have that "The big bad is coming and we gotta be ready for him" edge. I'm looking into big alien warlord types. Would Ronin the Executioner sit better with you?

Finished my application! I made the sample post his first night on the job and how he got his alias. I made it a sort of Luke Cage getting the moniker "Power Man" situation, but honestly I'm on the fence about renaming him to "Fair Play" instead. Mr. Terrific is pulpy but never struck me as a name someone would ever choose for themselves.

"Your soul versus mine. Let's see who can walk out of here."



Jason Todd, Qahir Al-Hamra Assassin Of The Supernatural All Caste Headquarters.
O R I G I N S:


"You guys wanna come at me all at once, or shall I kick your ass one at a time?"

Jason Todd was never meant to be the boy wonder. The little soldier who could - the thug who got saved from a life of crime by a man in a bat-shaped cowl. He was never meant to be the young man who fought tooth and nail to save his own, and his mother's life from the hands of a madman. His destiny laid far beyond the grimy streets of Gotham. His identity was supposed to be more than the 'fucked up Robin'. This is an attempt at renditioning a Jason Todd who grew up, as the great cosmic theatre had ordained him to. As a pre-teen Jason was saved from a monster that had sniffed him out, something out of this world. Something that knew what he was, or what he would become. In doing so, he was brought before the All Caste, the secret order of warrior-monks and mystics who work in secret to keep the mortal realm safe from beings that would harbing the great darkness, the end of all life as humans have known it.

Jason's grew up being raised to be the champion of this guild, their greatest warrior, their wayward son. Ducra, the leader of the All-Caste would raise him as her own. The entire guild were to see to it that he would prepare his entire life for a final battle against the Untitled foes. He's not stoked on this idea, instead striking out as much as he can on his own, avoiding his responsibilities and taking the fights where they appear. Fighting supernatural and humans alike. Jason Todd is set loose onto the world with the skills of the All-Caste. His half-finished training, magical power, the temperance of youth and his own moral codex. He's out to do what's right, to ensure people are safe today. Not when destiny and the All Caste had ordained him. He's helping people and bringing evil to justice, not waiting to save the world in some prophesized showdown that's far beyond certain.

This is an attempt to write Jason as someone who's more open to inherit the fate that DC keeps teasing pushed ever since since Outlaws started in 2011. There's a whole bunch of smack-talking about Jason possessing this great magical-in-nature role in the universe, yet he extremely rarely steps up to it. This has always irked me. I'm aiming to write something that's a little closer to that mystic-ideal. A teenage hero who's struggling with the expectations of his elders, as well as being foreign to our mundane world in a desire for adventure and helping people. This is a tale of figuring out all the trials and tribulations the mortal and magical worlds offer the boy who could have been bat.

S A M P L E P O S T:

"I'm not good, not bad. Just practical as hell." The dark haired boy said, as he entered the room through the window he had opened from the outside, removing the grey cloth hood that was secured over his face, tossing it back and letting it fall down to his shoulders, chucking the blowpipe and the pack of darts from his legs onto the makeshift bed in his side of the room. He pulled out the bloody knife from his other side, and started wiping it off. He walked towards the bathroom, as if he owned the place. The actual owner took notice.

"You keep saying that, but I disagree. You're real fuckin' bad at knocking, or respecting other people's privacy! I could've been masturbating, Jason! That's not very practical. I thought you said you were gonna blow town, by the way?! Gary cried out, as neurotic as always. Mr. Green was lying in his bed in his bedroom in his parents spacious apartment. Clearly unphased by Jason's behavior, beyond the rudeness of it all. Jason, cleaning himself off with a recently washed towel, which made Gary grit his teeth upon seeing such an expensive towel be wasted on washing away what he could only assume wasn't human blood.
"Ducra scried. Uh, sorry, called. Job's not done here. There's clearly still more magical influence left in this town, and she said 'it is of utmost importance young Qahir that you fulfill your promise to this life'. So you're stuck with me, bunk buddy. How did the thing go? Did your man win the duel?" Mimicking his guardian's ancient tongue as he chuckled, tossing his bag of things into the pullout-sofa on the other end of the room. Gary cracked a smile.
"Duel? No, it was a wrestling match. Josh got absolutely destroyed, though. His opponent was not normal, man, straight up built different, Josh had no chance." Gary caught his turn of phrase as he saw the look on his friends face change.
"Not normal you say? Did Josh's family prepare funerary rights after his destruction?" Jason pondered, turning towards his bag to start digging through his collection of magical trinkets. "No, Jason. It's not all monsters, man. It's just a figure of speech. The dude, Devin, was surprisingly good at wrestling, was all. Josh is fine. Bruised, his ego mostly." Jason nodded and started putting his things back in place.
"Oh. I got you. Thanks, I'm still struggling with all of the modern slang. Teenagers used to say 'Schway' last I was in the states."
"Nobody has ever said 'Schway', Jason. Not even in backwaters Gotham, I refuse to believe that." They both laughed.
Jason finished changing out of his dirty clothes and emerged 15 minutes later in a normal outfit. a graphic Tee, a stonewashed pair of jeans and a pair of 'fun socks' that Gary insisted on were cool. Seeing his friend on his phone, he cleared his throat. "Wanna leave your digital oracle device behind? Come play The Nintendo with me dude." Gary laughed, life was never boring with Jason around, that's for sure.

Some time later.

Gary laid in the mud as the rain poured over him, scared witless, his palms facing down into the dirt. He was injured, surface level wounds. His eyes looked up, first seeing his own wounded knee and then higher yet. In front of him, the deformed body of an oversized teenage boy was kneeling, black goo oozing out of his mouth, ears and one eye. He was mumbling something in a language Gary did not comprehend. Above him, stood Jason, holding the awe-inspiring, flaming golden sword, the All-blade to the monsters throat with one hand. The twin of the blade was protruding through the monster's chest. Jason was panting, bleeding a little. His clothes worn, the rain felt heavy on his skin.

"Devin's built different no more. Go in peace, lost soul." His tone was harsh, vengeful. With a clean swipe the glowing sword used the power of Jason's own soul to vanquish the long-dead teenager's head from the vessel that now possessed his body, ending his torture and sending the boy's soul onto the next life. Gary's life had gotten so much more complicated since he met Jason Todd.

Nah I know within the proper DC universe I was more meaning within this one where it isn’t a legacy name! Sorry fairly late here and my brain isn’t working so good so probably wasn’t clear in explaining what I meant!!
