Ant-Man

^{Derek Harrison ♦ 11/5/2001 (16) ) ♦ Male ♦ Chaotic Good}

C O N C E P T A B S T R A C T:

---

This iteration of Ant-Man is more like Eric O'Grady than Hank Pym. He's not quite a villain, but he's not a great hero, either. Like many other Ant-Men before him, he stole his suit from a famed scientist while shadowing an engineer at a laboratory. He's only had his suit for a few months, and he's used it to fight crime once. He's a bit of a criminal, and enjoys stealing stuff in his spare time, but he's not sure if this is the way that he wants to live his life. With the new Ant-Man suit, Derek wishes to begin fighting crime and helping the public.

N O T E S:

---

He's not really an anti-hero, but he's far from a professional hero and doesn't use his suit all-that responsibly, stealing items on occasion and generally messing around. He's still learning how and when to use his powers.

Arcs

Turning to Good - Someone steals his car, sending him on a mission to find the crooks and stop them. This kickstarts his turn to good and vigilantism.
Nemesis - He finds a villain who will stop at nothing to end him. Derek needs to stop and defeat the villain.

The idea behind this proposal is hinged heavily on the supernatural and my love of supernatural procedurals such as Grimm and Angel. To this end, I've put together Angel, as based on the character from the Buffyverse and Raven, heavily based on both her animated and comic counterparts. Together, the pair will come together to fight back against the supernatural in Los Angeles, the City of Angels. Drawn to L.A. by a seed of her father Trigon, Raven arrives in town to investigate, with her investigation put her on a collision course with Angel and the two eventually agree to work together. With the threat of Trigon manifesting in L.A. convincing Raven to stay put for the time being, the two fight back against the supernatural.

My plot arcs will have room for other supernatural characters from across Absolute's Universe to show up. Team-ups with Mobius, Etrigan, Zatanna, and Sabrina would work perfectly. In terms of the characters, Angel will have a past which involves Buffy, but it will only be in passing reference unless that character herself was actually applied for. Otherwise, this is an Angel who is looking to redeem himself for his time as Angelus and using his abilities and newfound soul to operate as a private investigator in L.A. while keeping the forces of evil at bay. Raven on the other hand, is slightly older than she's been depicted in most other media, possibly with a past with the Titans pending discussion. She's on a mission to find herself and has been traveling the country to proactively destroy any sources of her father's influence.

HEAT OF THE NIGHT

An arsonist is targeting a slum neighborhood only one landlord doesn't believe it is a coincidence after the visit of a developer. Contacting Angel and Raven, the pair are asked to investigate and it becomes very evident they aren't dealing with a run of the mill arsonist.

Minimalist CS

The Huntress
Birth Name: Helena Bertinelli
Birthdate (Age): December 11 1994
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Concept Abstract:

Bruce Wayne, if the family business had been the mob, and he'd been kidnapped and raped before watching his family blown away. Fanatically driven to the point of identity suicide; there isn't truly a Helena Bertinelli under there. It's just the Huntress. Everything else is either an act, or the sad attempts of a vigilante past the point of no return to feel something else in their existence--even if briefly. Here Helena disappears at an early age under the care of her infamous assassin great uncle, more or less not reappearing until it's as a business and investment young star. Relationships and work in the old country proceeds Helena's, and her great uncle's, plot for her to commandeer the American italian mafia get Helena heavy influence in the American mob.

She is uniquely positioned to fight crime from within, and she will even if it means giving up her life to do it. It isn't until her great uncle's death years later that the Huntress first sees the night, itself influenced by other vigilantes. Other vigilantes that typically play by rules the Huntress disregards in total if it means accomplishing her goals. The character is a big dreamy sigh for Helena Wayne of yesteryear.

Plot Mock-Up:

Helena feels threatened as a human, and goes about acquiring the means to leveling the playing field. While she awaits resolution of that long game, she moves into NYC and sets up shop. Originally her shop is entirely legitimate, but a NYC power struggle quickly sucks in Helena. Spider-Man showing up to question her cousin, the criminal face of the crime family, in her home enrages her. Helena reveals to Spider-Man who's really in charge, and promises him that she will have his identity soon in retaliation. What she does with that information may well still be up to him. The ultimate goal of the plot is a Huntress/Spider-Man team up as Helena retreats to reconsider her attitudes on metahumans.

Notes:

Despite being a nod to Helena Wayne, no real ties to the Batclan set up right now. Unless you count her family estate down the street from Wayne Manor. That'll show up from time to time.

Any of my posts would work.

@Ruby, Helena is accepted!

Sorry about the lack of activity- real-life craziness has been eating into my free time. Should have new Supes up tomorrow.

Deepest apologies for the massive delay. I'm a procrastinating jerk, and you may all kick me.

However, uber shitty post is now up. I will try to prevent my foolish self from taking this long to post in the future.

BRONZE TIGER

C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T P R O P O S A L

Bronze 🐅 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:

* B'Wana Beast post from an old JL rp of Blacksam's, cause I like 3rd/4th stringers...

* Reimagined Fredzilla post from a Marvel Universe rp where Fred actually becomes a kaiju...

* Original alias I crafted for Deathstroke in this post, Skeleton Jack... used him in a couple Batman rp'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.

[An Outsider]

@Omega Man Bat's only let Ben win cause he was feeling sorry for him.

[Omega Man]

@BlackSam3091 I figured the reasoning could've been cause Bats is getting older while Tiger is still in his prime. And cause you know... VIBRANIUM!

It'd be interesting if Batman was somewhat inspired by the Panther legacy of Wakanda in this universe. But I haven't been accepted, and I don't have any say over Batman...

I DID notice you guys were using the 'League of Shadows' as Ra's force of badasses, so I can use the 'League of Assassins' in a different manor if need be. There's also the Council of Spiders introduced in the Red Robin comics I could use instead if needed.

[GreenGrenade]

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.

I'll be working on posts sometime throughout the week, busy holidays innit?
