[CHAR] Justice League: Rising from the Ashes

[Double]

Theran Kar / Hawkman

Name: Theran Kar

Title/Alias: Hawkman

Picture/Description:

(Not sure how I feel about this particular design, so this might change if something better comes up.)

Powers/Abilities: Thanagarian Physiology: Bird-like wings, superhuman strength and durability, as well as hawk-like vision. They are known across the galaxy as a war-like people, renowned for their skill on the battlefield.

Gear(optional): Theran wears battle armor and wields a spear, both made of Nth Metal, a special mineral native to his home planet of Thanagar. Like most Nth Metal equipment, they possess mystical properties allowing them to be effective against the likes of Green Lantern power rings or Kryptonian durability.

Personality: Theran considers himself a warrior above all else. His people are rather famous for their pride and stubbornness, and Theran is no exception. Villains and heroes alike should take care that they do not insult his pride or honor, lest they wish to pay the price by fighting him in a duel. As a member of a warrior race, Theran values strength over anything else, but will often point out that strength can take many forms: be it physical, mental, and even spiritual... though he does admit to having a bit of bias for physical strength for obvious reasons.

Bio: Born on the war-like world of Thanagar, Theran was trained from a young age to be a tough and uncompromising warrior, like many of his kind. When he reached adulthood, Theran joined the Thanagarian police force, hoping to use his strength and skill to bring down evil and villainy. Unfortunately for him, the police force he had also become infamous for its corruption, officers backstabbing one another for the sake of promotions and other forms of inner politics. It certainly wasn't the heroic environment Theran envisioned. Still, he tried to remain a good cop in spite of all that... but sometimes even the best of people can still fall victim to corruption. Theran had gained a bit of a reputation among his comrades for his spotless record, and some began to view him as a threat, believing that if he rose high enough he could destroy much of their corrupt organization. The other officers staged a political assassination and successfully framed Theran for it. Due to his prior service, he was spared outright execution, but Theran was given the second-highest punishment: exile. Theran was banished from Thanagar and told he would be put to death should he ever return.

Theran wandered the galaxy for a time... drifting from planet to planet and occasionally dishing out intergalactic vigilante justice wherever he could. The more he wandered, the more Theran learned of another pair of his people who had also left home: Katar Hol and Sheyara Hol. Following rumors and stories, Theran learned they had found their way to a remote planet called Earth and decided to follow in their footsteps. They sounded like good people, the kind he would gladly call his friends. The closer to Earth he got, the more stories Theran heard, soon learning of a group called the Justice League of which Katar and Sheyara were apparently a part of. However, by the time Theran finally reached Earth, the Justice League vanished, including Katar and Sheyara. Disappointed, but not discouraged, Theran decided to stick around on Earth on the off-chance that the JLA would return. Just as before, Theran used his skills and training to fight villainy wherever he found it. Strangely, the people of Earth almost immediately called him a strange name, but one he supposed was fitting due to his appearance: Hawkman. Of course, Theran had no knowledge of that name's significance, nor that it once belonged to the very Thanagarians he wished to meet.

Dr. Malacoda Zatanna

The Justice League Fallen

Name: Dr. Malacoda Zatanna (21)

Title/Alias: N/A

s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/3a/7..

Picture/Description: Malacoda (Coda to his friends stands) at 6”1’, with boring brown hair and eyes. He had never really cared for what his wore - yet when he met his ‘beloved’ cousin - Zatanna, she instilled in him a distressing need to ‘at least try and look nice’ - that being said he makes sure to have his hair cut once every two weeks, while having his private tailor keep up with the latest trends - and just send over new apparel when he deems style had moved on. He keeps his face clean shaven, and… by her insistence - moisturized. While this all is more of habit, than a desire - he does believe in keeping himself healthy - yet at the prospect of exercise, even the thought of it tires him out - so he just uses magic to keep in shape.

Powers/Abilities: He has memorised the majority of the arcane library, of both his line and that of the rest of his extended families. That being said, he does not actually have the ability to do many of the spells because he lacks the magical vigor or stamina to sustain them. This has never bothered him because his repertoire, and his creativity has always circumvented any need for sustained high level spells.

Teleportation
Telekinesis
Telepathy
Flight
Location spells (only within city range)
Reading any language
Understanding any language
Speaking any language
Long term light/short term heavy Elemental Manipulation
Shields
Enchanting of objects (if done over extended periods the effect becomes permanent)
etc.

Gear(optional): He carries an umbrella, that is imbued with a shield charm that can stop most physical things, and when twirled in a circle opens a portal to wherever he wishes - he can do these spells on his own, but it is much faster with the umbrella. His scarf can become halfway sentient as an extension of his own mind, and do a variety of things - such as restrict someone else, wrap around something and pull him towards it, or it towards him. The fibers at the end can serve as a hand, and pick up objects and carry it for him, when he can’t be bothered to do it himself. His leather shoes can walk on water, and are completely slip resistant.

Personality: He is a quiet man, who prefers the company of books to people. He lives a rather sedentary life, where he values his wingback chair and reading lamp more than most other people on earth. When angered, he becomes even calmer, and will offer only one tell - a slight narrowing of the eyes - which few have ever seen. He does value the opinions of the powerful and influential - however this is not an indicator of deference, but rather he sees them in his mind - as though they were but council to him being king. This confidence in his own intellect often leads to him forgetting or ignoring his physical shortcomings. He has very few friends, and only they know his more considerate side, where he might still think you a moron, but might humor you regardless.

Bio: He grew up mostly alone - his parents often spending time in other dimensions, talking to people and beings they naturally found far more interesting than their son. He of course understood this well, and had been a ‘good sport’ about it from a very young age. Thus, he meandered about the warded manor, empty of servants since everything cleaned and ordered itself for the most part. Having always had a rather retentive memory (which in his mind made up for his physical lack) - He spent the majority of his childhood memorising the many libraries in the house.

When His parents returned for his seventh birthday, They realised they might have to organise a play-date of sorts, since he had ran out of books. So for the next few years he would spend months at a time, visiting ancient witches and warlocks all over the world - learning and reading with them. It was around his fourteenth birthday that he first met his one and only Cousin - very far removed. Having been sheltered herself - she took quite a bit of interest in keeping him entertained, and was slightly discontent with just reading for most of the day - as he wanted. She would talk about her friends while she transfigured his clothing and did his hair - and prompt him to join her little League. He politely declined. She extended the offer every time they met.

Then his parents, on their 30th anniversary - decided to do something daring and open a portal into a realm no one had ever tried before. They Promptly were pulled in and never heard from again. It was rather disconcerting. Having suddenly no guardians anymore - he continued to do what he had been doing before their demise - save now he also went out, saw the great operas on all of the great stages of the world. He talked about art and physics and philosophy with University lecturers, and music with concert pianists. By his eighteenth year he had accidentally graduated from three universities - simply by showing up and sitting in lectures, and doing the work without actually having been signed in. When the administration found out, they gave him his doctorates anyway.

Now he is 21 and peacefully goes about his days - eating in fine restaurants, reading classical novels, writing academic papers and reviews, going to the opera or ballet as often as he can get tickets, all the while ignoring most of the conflict in the world and slightly missing his cousin. When at the Gotham Opera House a few days ago however, during the final movement of Liszt’s Faust Symphony - The riddler thought to intervene. Confounding most of the spectators with some trivial bit of word play, he called out the answer before the riddle could be given in it’s entirety. This pissed off the Garishly Green wearing fellow, and he tried to blow up the Building. Of course he had to be stopped, and since the Batman clearly was not going to do it… well - there is always a first time for everything. It seemed that evening it was a first for Heroics. How fun...

[Weird Tales]

Name: Michael Blair
Title/Alias: Zorn The Magician
Picture/Description:

Powers/Abilities:
Weird Magic: Michael uses a kind of magic with weird properties and focuses mainly on illusions and conjurations, as well as some elemental spells. With his weird spells, Michael uses illusions to disorientate and confuse as well as frighten enemies. His illusions can range from small to very large. He can make his illusions be both seen and heard. His most powerful illusions can be made solid with incredible effort and it can cause him a lot of fatigue. His conjuration spells allow him to summon inanimate objects for utility purposes as well as weird weapons. His elemental powers allow him to shoot strangely colored balls of fire and bolts of weird shades of electricity. He is also able to disguise himself to blend in and deceive people by changing his looks through the use of magic. Finally he can create barriers of force for protection and is able to fly. The barriers can be broken if too much is applied against them.
Gear(optional): he uses a staff that helps him focus his magical powers.

Personality: Michael is a highly intelligent person, which is normal for magicians and his literacy is way above average. By age five he was reading Edgar Allen Poe and J.R.R. Tolkien. By age ten he had finished reading the English dictionary and all of Shakespeare's work. As a magician he has an incredible intuition and is incredible at finding knowledge. Seeking knowledge and solving problems are what he finds among the most interesting in life.

Being a student of the arcane teachings, Michael is more of a thinking and manipulator than a fighter. He prefers to deceive and disorientate his enemies rather than beat them down through sheer force. Magicians use the art of deception to keep others guessing and second guessing. That is why Michael is incredibly deceptive and good at fooling his foes. Even some of his allies have trouble seeing if he is telling the truth. He even has occasionally bragged about being able to fool even Wonder Woman's lasso of truth.

When it comes to heroism, Michael does what he feels is right and tries to use his magical powers to do some good, but that won't stop him from doing to occasional prank. Michael is a man with secrets and the secrets of his magical arts are what he considers most important to him and thus he refuses to talk about them. He is a believer that one's own prideful words about their abilities can lead to their downfall.

Politically Michael is a centrist who leans to the right. He considers himself a democratic capitalist and believes that the government shouldn't tax the working middle class for socialist agendas. He is a massive anti communist and believes in freedom of speech. Despite not being a religious man, Michael is a firm believer in respecting people's beliefs, but that won't stop him from telling a person that their religion is sick if he feels that it is. Michael is an individualist and hates the concept of collectivism, he believes that real freedom comes from the individual and not the collective.

Bio: Magic has run in his family for generations and for Michael his destiny was no different. Michael was born in Gotham City to a middle class family and had a fairly good childhood considering the bad reputation of the city he lived in. With his incredibly high literacy rate, Michael Blair was able to read an insane amount of books at a young age and his family brought him into the world of the arcane when he turned twelve years. They shared with him their family's secrets of magic and he started to learn the art of Weird Magic. His focus was on Illusions and Conjurations with a bit of elemental magic put in.

His family was surprised at the speed of which he was able to learn and Michael's power grew greatly over his teen years. In this time frame he took the magician name Zorn and met other magic users like him such as the British Con-artist John Constantine and the amazingly powerful Tim Hunter. They introduced him to the more sinister side of the magical arts by battling demons and mad sorcerers to keep the world safe.

Being a magician, Michael had to juggle his secret life of battling supernatural and mundane threats with his normal life as an entertainer and showman. It was hard, but as a self employed entrepreneur, he found it easy to make his schedule. The only thing had problems with was the high taxes of the darn government put on the working middle class for their political agendas.

Being a one man show, Michael never really thought about joining a team before, but when the disappearance of the Justice League happened and more mysterious disappearances happened after that, he decided that it would be better for business to help bring down the crime and try to find out what happened to the other heroes so that he wasn't stuck with doing more heroics. He is Zorn The Magician and with his magic he will bring wonder and terror to the battlefield.

Khnemu

Name: Khnemu

Title/Alias: Sand Beast

Human Form

Transformed

Powers/Abilities:
-Breath of Amun: Khnemu can create heavy winds using his breath, he can also use this ability to fly.
-Organic Sand: Khnemu has the ability to create sand from his own physiology and manipulate it to his whim.
-Beast Transformation: Allows Khnemu to transform into a massive beast composed of sand.

Gear:
-Wraps of Osirus: Khnemu's arms are wrapped with magical linen. Khnemu can throw this linen at opponents with ease and send them flying with a single blow despite the linen's seemingly low weight. Khnemu is also able to wrap an opponent in the linen with little effort, and despite a lack of supernatural strength, toss them overhead as easily as a ragdoll.
-Robes of Nekhbet: Khnemu wears a cloak covered in stones with dedications to vulture god Nekhbet written on them, this cloak seals Khnemu's beast form, only when removed can Khnemu enter his more powerful form. These robes regenerate from any damage taken, but do not grant that ability to Khnemu himself.

Personality: Khnemu is an odd being, his voice never going over a monotone. Khnemu is blunt and unconcerned with social convention, he cares not for conversation and shows no attraction to either gender. Khnemu never utilizes body language, and both facial decay and the mask used to hide it prevent his face from being seen, what's left is his voice, which, as previously described, does not allow him to demonstrate emotion. Khnemu is steadfast in his defense of Earth, even if he has to fight his fellow man to defend it. He hates oath-breakers and will always fulfill a promise, even if it isn't in his best interest to do so.

Bio: Khnemu was once a sorcerer living in Egypt in the Middle Kingdom under Senusret I. Khnemu was a member of a secret cult of sorcerers dedicated to Osiris, all of whom swore to defend Egypt and the land it stood upon from outside threats. According to cult writings during the Late Kingdom, Khnemu was a legendary leader of the cult, ascending to the position after a journey in the land of the dead. Wrapping himself in bandages and closing himself in a sarcophagus, Khnemu entered the land of the dead, first Khnemu walked through Duat's many gates, slaying each of the demons guarding them, granting himself multiple artifacts stolen by them from the gods above.

Coming next to Anubis and Ammit, realizing he had been alive, Anubis decryed his involvement in the land of the dead, siccing Ammit on him. Taking four blows from the demon, Khnemu cast himself at one of Anubis' scales, his whole body was lighter than the feather that sat upon the other scale. Judging him a benevolent soul by his wounds and his weight, Anubis called back his beast and allowed Khnemu entrance into the land of the dead, on the condition he leave and never return, it is through this condition that Khnemu was granted immortality.

Next, Khnemu was set upon by Apep, who wrapped him in his coils and asked if the mortal wished to join the dead who walked the halls of Duat, or be consumed by him, and be forced into the realm of chaos. Not struggling, Khnemu stated that he wished for the snake to eat him and bring him into its belly. Due to the order of Khnemu's actions and words, the chaotic beast was unable to consume him, filling him with his poison with every bite, causing his skin to turn into sand. It was through this that Khnemu was granted his command over the sands.

Khnemu, having just met Apep, was found by Ra, who approached Apep's form and challenged the beast to a battle as he had many times before. Heavily weakened by Khnemu's resistance, Apep was easily slain, unable to understand why this had happened, Ra turned to Khnemu and asked if it had been him who had damaged the mighty snake. Khnemu admitted it, and as punishment, was turned into one of the very demons that wandered the halls of Duat.

Continuing through Duat, Khnemu came upon Horus and Set fighting, intervening, Khnemu sustained blows from both until he was unable to stand any longer, and then he stood again. Faced with unnatural resilience, Horus fled, leaving Khnemu and Set alone, in thanks, Set granted Khnemu power over the winds.

Khnemu entered the paradise of Aaru, but soon after entering, he was again judged by Thoth, who challenged Khnemu to a challenge of knowledge. Back and forth, the two answered each-other's questions, until Khnemu had no answers left to give. Knowing that he couldn't take another of Thoth's questions, Khnemu asked Thoth what the answer to his riddle was. Thoth, amused, asked Khnemu for his riddle. Khnemu, coming up with a riddle never heard before, asked Thoth what has no arms and yet climbs, no wings, and yet flies, no life, and yet dies. Thoth, unable to answer, asked Khnemu for an answer. Khnemu answered that the subject of the riddle was in fact the sun, which climbed over the horizon, flew through the skies, and died at the beginning of the night. Thoth, with a roar of laughter, conceded defeat, and as a reward, granted Khnemu knowledge of man through the times, though not of their fate, as not even the gods knew of such things.

Finally, Khnemu came to Osiris, kneeling before the god, he asked for the ability to protect his land from anything that means to harm it. Osiris, touched by the mortal's tenacity, granted Khnemu back his human form, sealing him in his own wrappings and, from Nakhbet, gifted him robes to protect him. Sending Khnemu back to the mortal realm, he awakened the man to protect Egypt.

After his job had been done, Osiris placed Khnemu into a deep sleep, waiting for a time when he would be needed.

Many long centuries later, after the death of Teth-Adam, the gods lost their last champion in the mortal realm, weakened, the gods used the last of their strength to awaken Khnemu, who, with his endless belief, granted the gods back their power, and with the knowledge of Thoth, returned to the mortal realm to protect the world from outside threats.

[Burning Kitty]

Name: Combat Android 3645

Alias: George

Picture: 1u88jj3r4db2x4txp44yqfj1.wpengine.netd..

Powers:
Superhuman Strength
Capable of tracking multiple enemy movements
When dual wielding weapons can shoot at two different enemies at once
Remote hacking
Trojan vision (see through smoke)
Night vision

Gear:
Electro Knife
Type-2 Assault Rifle (capable of splitting into dual auto-pistols)
Erad Submachine Gun with Master Key under barrel Shotgun
Dual Oni fully-automatic handgun
Dome Shield

Personality: All George ever wanted to be was a warrior like his father but he was a frail kid that easily broke, which led to depression. He dived deep into computers as a way to “earn” his keep in the resistance. He may not have been able to fight but he was able to help those who did which gave him a sense of purpose. He created a hack that allowed him to remotely pilot the combat androids and fight alongside his father. Like all humans they were hunted down and captured or killed. He was not a warrior so he was not spared the torture of having his brain ripped out of his skull and shoved into a combat android. That memory haunts him to this day and causes severe feedback into his combat android body that disables him for several minutes. When humans persecuted and attacked him he felt betrayed, he had given them a new weapon one that was capable of going where they couldn’t. Their attempts to destroy him didn’t turn him against humanity but made him seek isolation and comfort in his robotic nature. He rarely shows emotion anymore.

Bio: In 2359 the Earth was invaded by an alien, whose sole intent was to harvest all the valuable natural resources, including human brains. Human brains were used as computers in the various technologies but most especially in combat androids. There was a revolution but it had zero chance of success. One day George a hacker was taken alive and managed to prevent having his memories erased through a well-timed virus release. There was no stopping his brain being harvested and installed in a combat android. He and all the ones after him managed to take down that factory but there were others. George and the other sentient combat androids were not openly embraced they were feared and sometimes attacked. They struck out on their own fought for themselves against the aliens and the humans. George and the other sentient combat androids discovered a secret human military base built before the invasion. They made it their home for a while during their investigation of the base they discovered experimental technology that they adapted for their own use. One piece of technology took up entire room with its central piece a giant sphere. After three years of decrypting the central computer they discovered that the technology was an experimental and unfinished time machine. It took another decade to finish it. They couldn’t control where the sphere sent through time and it was a one way trip. George agreed to go by himself.

Hayato

Name: Hayato Ichimonji
Title/Alias:Kamen rider/Masked Rider

As Kamen rider

Power/Abilities: Apart from being a cyborg meaning that he can't get tired and doesn't need food, his normal state his body is as durable and strong as a normal human. By opening a lid on the center of his belt it reveals a turbine which uses the surrounding wind to power up his transformation, the turbine passively collects wind over the day and transforms it to energy, in the case Hayato transforms many times over the day the belt won't have enough energy to begin the transformation and Hayato will have to wait until it has collected enough.

The Shocker soldier was planned to have the strength, speed and reflexes of 10 olympic athletes, use a mini nuclear reactor instead a wind turbine to transform, and be capable of taking shotguns point blank without any scratch. Hayato was a prototype so he is just half as strong and fast as the original plan, his armor can deflect low caliber bullets and break normal swords and blunt objects, but it is useless with military grade weapons.

Gear: A Honda Shadow 750 motorcycle

Personality: Even if Hayato doesnt consider himself human anymore, he is determined to act as the protector of the innocent from evil organizations that want to use them for their rituals and experiments. Because his status as a prototype while fighting much more advanced cyborgs Hayato has learned to fight smart, trying to use the enemy weakness and the environment to his advantage while hiding his own weaknesses. During his fights he still felt sorrow for the monsters he fought, thinking that in another situation he would be in their place, and as such the phantoms of the people he couldn't save occasionally haunt him.

Biography: Working as a biochemist in one of the most important labs in japan, Hayato was considered to be the perfect candidate for a job in the villain organization Shocker who at first offered him the chance to join them freely under the guise of a job offer but when Hayato denied they offer they decided to take him by force abubting him one night while he was exiting his work. Feeling angry at Hayato for his refusal of the job, the scientist started using him as their own guinea pig, with Hayato being tested on all sorts of experiments using human and alien technology.

One day they decided to test on Hayato their most recent procedure, using technology donated to them from an “American sponsor” they replaced most of Hayato´s body with cybernetic parts giving him a grasshopper motif, he was the prototype of the Shocker soldier who would be a normal human in plain sight but once they activated their transformation, their true forms would come and they would break havoc,the experiment was a success with the only step left was to brainwash Hayato to obey Shocker.

Hayato using all his might to struggled to break the chains and was able to free himself from his shackles before the brainwashing could be done. Once he escaped and realized what he had become Hayato bowed to destroy Shocker before it could turn more innocent people like himself into monsters. It took a little more than a 4 years and the help of many people including the justice league on several occasions, but with determination and force Hayato was able to destroy, incapacitate or arrest most of the major leaders of Shocker.

The battle wasn't an easy one with Shocker using most of their resources to deter him. Converting long time friends and loved ones of Hayato and the allies he met into brainwashed monsters. In the end Hayato stood over Shocker, looking exactly the same as he had 4 years ago, while many of his allies and friends had died along the way Hayato knew that even if Shocker was gone there were still other organizations, and he would only rest when peace is brought to the world or his cyborg body is shred to pieces.

While interrogating one of the last high ranking leaders on the identity of their american sponsor, the man after a long questioning and intimidation session said only a single word: "Luthorcorp" before killing himself with a hidden gun on his sleeve. This was the primary reason for Hayato to travel to america, but he decided to stay after witnessing the disappearance of the justice league, fearing it to be a ploy of Luthorcorp he vowed to find the answer.

[1Hawkeyes]

Agent

Name: Ally Estrada
Title/Alias: Red Agent
Picture/Description: img04.deviantart.net/0e13/i/2013/320/1..
Powers/Abilities: Red Agent has super strength and a factor of invulnerability. She can be shot with a 10mm and it'll flatten out, but if she's shot with a slug it'll go through her skin. As far as sharp weapons, a kitchen knife won't cut her, but a fighting knife definitely will. Red Agent also has a type of "Spidey Sense", allowing her to better predict the movements of someone else, but it isn't exact. Since she doesn't have a wide range of powers, she relies on her gadgets (see Gear) and fighting styles which would include knowledge, but not mastery, of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, boxing, and American Wrestling.
Gear(optional): Red Agent has a utility belt with smoke bombs, electrical nets, a grappling hook, a hover board, and a small first aid kit. She tends to not use her gadgets too much during combat, more as a pre-combat tool to get an advantage in the upcoming fight or as distractions. Her suit has a thin layer of Kevlar, just in case of anything.
Personality: Red Agent is a nice and caring person. She's willing to put her life on the line for just about anyone, even some bad guys. She isn't too naive, but she does believe in second chances in most cases. As far as intelligence goes, she's pretty smart and can come up with a plan quick, but she isn't arrogant because of her knowledge. She's willing to stand up for those who can't stand up for themselves or who need help standing.
Bio: Ally Estrada grew up a normal little girl for the first few years of her life, but this changed when she was four. Her parents, Doctors Jacqueline and Eugene Estrada, were both scientists. They began working on a medicine that would give anyone sick their old strength back, whether suffering from a cold or cancer. The tests went amazingly, at least on animals. All the animals survived the tests and went out healthier. One day, Ally got sick, just a normal childhood fever, and her parents decided to test it on her. Well, it worked, but it worked a little too well. They used the medicine on her, calculating the proportions wrong, and from then on, she wasn't a normal girl anymore. She quickly gained her powers, though didn't grasp a good understanding of her powers until a little later on. Once she learned others didn't have these powers, she turned to the Justice League for inspiration. She specifically looked up to Wonder Woman, striving to be like the woman. Because of this, she entered different schools for different fighting classes. At the age of 19, she left her parents' home without using any of their money, wanting to prove it was possible. She quickly learned how hard it was for a young woman to make it in the world and found companionship with a man named Matthew. They began living together, her hiding her powers as much as she could. Now they're engaged, but the Justice League is also missing. She quickly took up the hero alias of Red Agent to make up for their absence as much as she could. Once she told her parents, however, they had figured she would choose this life and had the gadgets she now uses ready. Unknowingly to Red Agent, her parents are in debt for most of their failed experiments, and their struggles aren't improving with the recent disappearance of the Justice League.

[Shadowman215]

Name: Jonathan Hamilton-Wayne

Alias/Nickname: Prowler

“I was given a chance, I won’t squander it on dying just yet.”

Photo/Appearance:

Powers/Abilities: Superhuman Strength/Agility/Intelligence/Reflexes

Gear: MK V Tactical Combat Stealth Suit [[Can be modified for various forms of infiltration, amphibious included.]]


Chameleon ghillie suit


40. Cal revolver




50.Cal Sniper Rifle


7.62mm AAC Honey Badger (Custom)


High Powered Anti-Tank Rifle/Cannon.


The Big Guns: Along with the Anti-Tank weapon, there are a plethora of other heavy artillery weapons in his arsenal that have highly destructive power. However, once it gets to the Big Guns, there is required approval from the League, for they can be of risk to civilian personnel, or just about anyone or anything in the target area.

Twin knives: Prowler has two knives, one that is a custom made trench knife, and the other is a knife meant for quick and deep cuts against a target.





Personality: Prowler is cold, efficient, driven, but on the same note, loyal, protective and loving. Sadly the former traits end up making him hard to initially get along with, and hence he prefers working alone. Tends to struggle in a team environment.

Bio: Jonathan Hamilton-Wayne wasn’t brought into this world the traditional way. He wasn’t born to a normal family, to live a normal life. He was created,bred in a test tube by a Dr. Samuel Hamilton of Caduceus Corporations, a geneticist who saw a chance for him and his infertile wife to have a son. Not just any child, a child that could change the future, a new generation of hero, seeing as the two of them had a dormant MetaGene. The effects of two modified MetaGenes were astounding to say the least, but also very eye-catching to a company like Caduceus. The good Doctor had been doing this project privately, outside the building where his employers had first put him. In an old warehouse that had been repurposed to house one incubation chamber, the birthplace of Caduceus new bio-weapon after the failure and freedom of SuperBoy. Caduceus needed a new method of killing the Justice League, and without even trying, Dr. Samuel had given Caduceus a frightening new weapon.

They had been watching the Doctor and his program, his creation, his only son. Now the corporation had decided to make their move, while the good Doctor was checking up on the growth of his test tube son. They made their move, and killed Dr. Hamilton. It was then they brought him back and set the new Project in his chamber.

Project: Prowler

The ultimate weapon, made solely for killing, they took the remaining kryptonian DNA from the Superboy experiment, and ramped it up a few notches. Adding enhanced intellect and neural pathways along with the standard super strength and agility. However, instead of simply educating the new weapon, they programmed his mind to be cold, calculating, and focus solely on mission success. With this homemade weapon in house, they prepared to release him upon the Justice League, but something happened:

One of the sessions went wrong with the training of Prowler’s mind, one of the Genomorphs wasn’t on the side of the corporation. One was from Genomorph City, and was told to help Prowler be free, considering he technically was one of their kind. The day they let him out for a test run, he took the “Run” part literally, and ran off from corporate staff, disappearing into the labyrinth that was the new Caduceus facility. Eventually, the Genomorph that had freed him guided him to the surface, and allowed him to be free for a short while.

Though it wasn’t long until he began seeking out answers as to who he really was, and it lead him to a pair of gravestones, the Hamilton family was all but wiped out, Jonathan being the very last one. During that time of simply gazing at people he should be able to remember the faces of, a hand touched his shoulder, and the rain stopped falling on his body. Bruce Wayne had found a lost soul to bring home, somehow the Batman himself had found information on the new project and its origins. Then he waited in the small town where Prowler had found himself after searching for answers...And offered him a chance, a chance to honor the original plan his father had for him, to be a hero. To protect the innocent and the helpless, Jonathan all but dove on this chance, and Bruce took him home to begin training him.

However, it soon became clear that unlike Superboy, Prowler was programmed with a plethora of martial arts skills, and firearms training, the result of what his prior mission was before being freed. Now the main goal was to hone what was there into what the world needed. However, the programming still had an adverse effect on Jonathan and his ability to socialize, the rest of the people he was supposed to become family with...It didn’t go well, he didn’t trust easy, and some didn’t fully trust the living bio-weapon in the room with them.

Though after a few months, everyone began to warm up to each other, Jonathan finally stopped feeling like a weapon people wanted to use...And the Wayne family accepted the new addition, to the extent of providing him with a suit meant for stealth, and a chameleon suit that resembles the 3d suits worn by snipers on deep recon missions. He was initially told non-lethal was the only way that the family went...But it wasn’t long before Prowler had a few kills to his name against many crime syndicates. Batman of course grew extremely mad at the behavior of this prodigy, saying he should be more careful with his abilities. Prowler however, chose to ignore that, and go down a path similar to that of the Red Hood, however, he avoided spilling blood wherever possible. He only used firearms against foes such as Luthor, Darkseid and his forces, or other foreign threats attacking Earth.

After a time, Prowler’s original kills faded from memory, and soon he sat on par with his family again. Now though, with the disappearance of the Watchtower, and the spike in crime, will Prowler have to become the still hand of death that they tried to quell before? Or will he still hold true to the honor the Wayne family instilled in him?

Name: Major Ashton Beaufort

Title/Alias: Gotham's Soldier (she will never refer to herself as this, but it's what the news has started calling her.)

Picture/Description: Ashton stands at 5'10" (and that's not even with her combat boots on) and is muscular from her years in the service. Her skin is tanned and she does have sunglasses tan lines but chances are nobody will ever know since she very rarely takes them off. Her eyes are light brown - but again, sunglasses so it's not a well known fact. Her dirty blond hair lives in a permanent stage of Military Donut Bun.

Powers/Abilities: Military training as well as basic martial arts training. Best with a gun or knife but has taught herself how to fight hand to hand.

Gear(optional): Almost all her gear is standard military type. For weapons she has, an M11 handgun, a Ka-Bar combat knife, a M4 carbine, and various grenades (including frag, smoke, and stun). She wears modified combat gear; it's been dyed black to blend in better and she has added more bullet-proof ceramic plating into it. She also wears sunglasses and a helmet - also painted black like her uniform. She also has binoculars, night-vision goggles, a mag light, flares, and a basic first-aid kit.

Personality: The typical soldier; she is stoic and strong, obedient when she has respect for her leaders, but doesn't take shit. She is fiercely protective of the innocent people of Gotham and will put her life on the line for them. While she may come off as cold, when she does relax and let the soldier-mode slip, she is kind albeit a tad snarky.

Bio: Ashton grew up in Gotham with a single mother. She never knew her father, but honestly, it was never really a big deal for her. It was pretty ordinary. Growing up in Gotham made her tough, but it never made her mean. She was the kid that would beat a bully black and blue then walk the bullied kid home to make sure they were safe. It was no surprise that she ended up idolizing Batman - and later Batwoman as well. It was even less of a surprise that she signed up for the Marines when she was old enough.

After ten years in the Marines, Ashton became a Major and was working on becoming a Lieutenant Colonel when the Justice League went missing. Ashton retired from the Marines and made her way home to Gotham, only to find it much worse than it ever had been. Crime was even more rampant than it had ever been now that Batman was gone.

It started out as just helping here and there; disarming a robber who happened to be in the same convenience store as her, stopping assaults on civilians, etc. But as crime got worse, Ashton started dedicating herself more and more to stopping it. While she doesn't really consider herself a superhero by any means - after all, she's just a retired soldier - fighting crime has become her day job and she has started to become a known figure in Gotham.
