[OOC] Absolute Comics: Rebirth

[Silent Whispers]

Yeah, no rush. I plan to be here longer than a week :P

@Lord Wraith

Thanks. :)

[Heat]

@Lord Wraith I was gonna ask about portraying Ozymandias from Watchmen. One of my favorite comic book characters but I'd feel I'd need to tinker a bit to fit it here.

[DClassified]

This looks Amazing.

Though, one question that I didn't see addressed. Are Original characters allowed? Or, is it a canons only thing?

I have no qualms with the latter, but I do have a character already related to one of the ones listed.

Edited: Also, expect to see an application for Miles Morales and Shang-Chi.

[GreenGrenade]

@DC The Dragon I'd suggest taking a look over the rules for clarification over your question. As for that Miles application, please throw your ideas my way. Peter needs his sidekick. :P

@Heat

I think you're correct on saying he might need a bit of tinkering but on that note you're definitely more than welcome to adapt and apply as Ozymandias.

@DC The Dragon

Canons are the only permitted PCs, however you are able to adapt and change them to fit your needs so long as the heart and soul of the character remains the same. At the end of the day, the character should still be recognizable. There is a note in the rules about the use of original NPCs primarily in an antagonistic role but this is mainly for characters who don't have well established Rogue galleries.

[mickilennial]

I think I’ve narrowed down some of my ideas.

[DClassified]

Very well. Thank you, most certainly.

@GreenGrenade
The Spider-Duo will be the best one-lining youthful teamup the world has ever seen.

[GreenGrenade]

I think I’ve narrowed down some of my ideas.

@Inkarnate

From twenty-five to twenty?

[mickilennial]

From twenty-five to twenty?

@GreenGrenade

To three or four, actually.

[ErsatzEmperor]

@Lord Wraith I wish you all the luck in the world with the reboot. As much as I'd love to join you, I feel my eyes might be slightly bigger than my belly at the moment. Best of luck though.

[GreenGrenade]

But EE... we miss you :(

Wouldn't mind getting messaged on discord sometime, @ErsatzEmperor

Black Cat

Enemy of Kingpin, Ally of Spider-Man

^{felicia hardy ♦ twenty-six ♦ female ♦ neutral}

“Looks like I’m caught in a web. Oh my.”

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

---

Back to my roots – hopefully with the intention of actually finishing an episodic arc this time! Black Cat as a… character has gone through a variety of incarnations in this interpretation. The thief-turned-vigilante-turned-thief-turned-vampire hunter-turned-vigilante-turned-thief is back at it again, and she’s probably bound to get involved in shenanigans leading to a torrid and unwelcome reunion with a particular New York City-based superhero.

However, Felicia’s episodes will not simply be collaborative invasions of others but also her own dedicated plotlines. Such plotlines include robbing a lot of people for shiggles and big scores, though considering I’ve never done a heist story proper I might have to figure out some other options. Perhaps Felicia gets tied up in her duties as a socialite, artist, and entrepreneur? Maybe one of her (few) friends calls in a favor from her? Maybe a marked assassin with a grudge comes after her? Perhaps she gets tasked with stealing from her nemesis, Kingpin, for reasons she doesn’t really care about? These are all options and I imagine more will come up.

In terms of Felicia’s backstory, I don’t think doing an elaborate timeline is necessary. The big important tidbits to know in this continuity is the fact that she’s the closest (and best) friend of Mary-Jane Watson and has been since they were kids, she was born into money with her mother being a influential shareholder in a few New York companies like OsCorp and Stark Indutries, she’s had run-ins with Spider-Man, and when she was in her first year of College she got blackmailed into working for Wilson Fisk. Beyond that, you can imagine Felicia has been as catty as she always has with a knack for getting into trouble or being brought into it by a particular moronic webhead. She’s also worked with Blade and Morbius, and has a rivalry with DC Universe thieves like Selina Kyle and Holly Robinson. Anything else will be determined in-game.

She’s also got a really good right hook.

N O T E S:

I’ve run Felicia Hardy several times over, so I am going to be taking the best from each of my interpretations into a cohesive, final product with the Absolute Comics rendition of the character. She’s still as charming, sardonic, and witty as ever, but with a little flavor. Any notes needed will cover her limited prehistory and associates.

ALLIES

Aaron Davis // Prowler: A former rival thief turned on-and-off again ally, Aaron Davis could be considered part of Felicia’s network (or cadre) of thieves. When Felicia needs more hands for a more dangerous heist she knows she can trust Aaron’s skills as Prowler.

Eric Brooks // Blade: Since leaving Kingpin’s service, Felicia has attempted to be a globetrotting superheroine, and as such has found herself in the company of supernatural vigilante Eric Brooks, otherwise known as Blade. Felicia found time in such company relieving following struggles in New York due to her fixation on Spider-Man.

Jesse Thompson: The sister of Flash Thompson. Felicia counts Jesse as her closest friend after Mary-Jane Watson; a relationship that has persisted since Detective Harrison Thompson started dating her mother (albeit briefly). Jesse Thompson is currently in medical school, inspired by her childhood to help others how she can.

Mary-Jane Watson: Felica’s best friend since they were both kindergarten students, Mary-Jane Watson was the one thing that kept Felicia from giving up on everything throughout elementary school and junior high school. For a time their friendship turned romantic, but Felicia’s leash was held by The Kingpin of New York City at the time and the secrets Felicia couldn’t reveal nearly destroyed their friendship. Six-to-Seven years later and things are different. But given Mary Jane’s relationship to a certain someone Felicia is unsure and afraid what the future may bring.

Peter Parker // Spider-Man (I): The ever persistent web-crawling superhero has been a subject of Felicia’s struggles since her second year of college, and oftentimes in a frustrating way. Felicia owes a sort of debt to Spider-Man since he helped her break free of Wilson Fisk’s grasp, though his constant interference in her life has made any romantic feelings she had hard to move past. Spider-Man is one of three people that Felicia would drop everything for if they truly needed her help.

Selina Kyle // Catwoman (I): During her time as a thief, Felicia has run into certain people who aspire to collect the same item as her – the most difficult of these rivals being that of Selina Kyle, also known as Catwoman. Whilst Selina is centrally located in Gotham City, the two have clashed often and oftentimes Felicia has lost despite being the younger of the two.

Wilson Fisk // The Kingpin: The man who is responsible for the death of her father, the experimentation of a super soldier serum on Felicia’s body (that her father stole), and a servitude that she wishes to repay him tenfold for. If there is one person that can get under Felicia’s skin with ease it is most definitely Wilson Fisk. As cunning as he is ruthless and large, Fisk has kept an eye on Felicia’s activities since their “falling out”. Though he may despise Spider-Man more for ruining his plans for her.

Sabrina Spellman

The Teenaged Witch

---

^{sabrina spellman ♦ sixteen ♦ female ♦ hero}

“Imagine a world where you did not have to be afraid because you were different. Create it.”

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

---

Sabrina Spellman has been trained in the mystic arts since she was a child, but up until this point in her life the town she has grown up in has seemed essentially normal; just another sleepy, boring, relatively generic town in upstate New York. Unfortunately, this is not the case. The truth of the matter is Glendale is as magical as the teenaged witch who has been taught to hide her abilities from everyone around her. Sabrina’s familiar, Salem Saberhagen, taunts her as she for the better part of the previous year has begun to realize this.

Essentially, I’m borrowing a lot of elements with the above concept from series such as ‘Afterlife with Archie’ and ‘The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina’ which focus on interpreting Sabrina the Teenage Witch in a more horrific, suspenseful, and bizarre manner. One can expect me to dip into David Lynch-esque tones (Twin Peaks, etc.) and pulp influences from authors that are just as weird. I haven’t touched into psychological horror and supernatural horror as a genre of writing in a long time so I am hoping this vehicle will be inspiring going forward. While collaborations are always open, I feel like Sabrina will be in her own corner for a good while as I build the ideas I want to tell. Outside of the town itself, I also want to have Sabrina inherit the title of “Sorcerer Supreme” (though it is more like sorceress, lol) for the world at large. Additionally, any magical-oriented characters will be welcome to chart out interactions in the future; of those options I am the most interested in Zatanna, Constantine/Hellblazer, and Hellboy. So that’s an option.

For Sabrina’s childhood, it’s pretty the typical affair… just painted differently due to my influences. Sabrina was raised her entire life in quasi-seclusion and due to her tutelage by her eccentric aunts she is one of the most competent (albeit untested) magi in the world, and perhaps even the dimension itself once/if the sorceress supreme plot comes to fruition. I’m not sure how my characterization will bloom because this is largely uncharted territory but I guess that’s what makes it so damn exciting.

N O T E S:

My notes for Sabrina should be minimal, but generally I’ll update them when I can/need to.

Salem Saberhagen: Sabrina Spellman’s “familiar” and closest friend, though such a feat is easily achieved when you’ve known them since you were old enough to walk. Salem is sarcastic, cynical, and generally unhelpful; though his life is tied to Sabrina’s so there is a benefit for him aiding her however he can as long as that bond exists.

I want Hellboy to be away from the BPRD and give him the opportunity to interact with other mystic type heroes. In the long run I want to explore different myths and even explore old stories within the universe and who knows...maybe even fight Cthulhu.

A R C I D E A S:

A Father's Love - After many years of service Dr. Trevor Bruttenholm, one of the founders of the BPRD, has died. Found lying face down at his desk it appears to be of natural causes. Hellboy although devastated believes that this was something far more sinister as just after the funeral a package arrived specifically addressed to him in a language that only he can read.

The Rightful King - The notes left behind by Professor Bruttenholm has shown that the good doctor had been researching into finding out more about his adoptive son. A name Sarah Hughes keeps repeating, something that should be looked into.

Guess I Ain't That Special After All - Living as long as he has, Hellboy has heard of a world filling up with heroes and even some that have mystical knowledge. He assumes that at some point he will either have to kill them or help them, either way it's probably going to be a pain in the butt.

Laurel is a lawyer by day, crime fighter by night type of person. But even though she had previous background in fighting from self defense classes, she wanted to further her training and that's exactly what she did whenever she confronted Oliver and found out that he was 'The Arrow'. After many failed attempts of his training and his sudden disappearance, Laurel took matters into her own hands and just went out there and fought against the different groups of people that was terrorizing the city. Whether she won or she lost, Laurel did not let that stop her from still wanting to save the city from the vigilantes that was running amok. When Oliver found out who she really was and what she was doing, he urged her to stop before she got herself hurt or killed but Laurel wasn't just becoming 'The Black Canary' for the city but for her sister, Sara Lance, as well.

Laurel may not be too skilled in martial arts but she will definitely get a few punches and kicks in and will strike with the steel rod that is practically two steel rods connected together. She does not really like to use her high sonic device known as 'The Canary Cry' but it does come in handy sometimes - Especially when she needs her current opponent to back away or to gain the upper hand.

It's been awhile since she has seen Oliver or anyone associated with 'The Arrow' to be exact. It hasn't stopped her from still trying to save the city that she was born and raised in as she hopes that someone from 'Team Arrow' or anyone for that matter makes an appearance soon because she cannot save Starling City all by herself. She probably can but does not want to take the risk.

C H A R A C T E R A R C S:

"I'm The Justice You Cannot Run From" ^___ After her sister's death, Laurel decided that Starling City still needed 'The Black Canary' but instead of fighting the hardened criminals, she just fought the guys that liked to hit on women. She did a somewhat good job of defending the women that were being terrorized as the local news was all over the long waited return of 'The Black Canary'.

"Hi, I'm Laurel Lance and I'm a recovering addict" ^___ It's no secret from her family that whenever she thought that her sister, Sara, was dead the first time that the bottle chugging began along with the pill popping. The pill popping did not get out of hand until she wasn't a lawyer anymore. When Sara was alive and she found out after seeing her, it was when she checked herself into rehab and actually wanted to get help. It wasn't until recently that the pill popping started again but that was after Sara's death, for real - Something she wished that she did not have to witness. But she is wanting to get help again.

I'd still be following Miles' journey of discovering what it means to be a hero, the crisis of his still being a teenage boy in this world of superheroes and villains, as well as just some fun adventures that he has with various characters in the Absolute Universe. This could be of his running with the current 2nd-Gen Teen Titans, The Avengers/Champions, or even just those of the Spider-Man Mythos.

Issue #1: Anything That a Spider Can - So, you know the song, "Spider-Man, Spider-Man. Does whatever a Spider can." Well. Apparently, there's someone else that can do those things too, making both of them look pretty bad. I mean seriously; when you hear that a bank was robbed and the only remains in the vault were webs, it's pretty obvious who you think of?

Who knows what could happen next? The news is throwing around "V" word again! That's right, Vigilante. And that never leads to anything good, like when Mom gets a call from the Algebra teacher. Being that Peter's kind of busy, Miles decided he's going to do his own hero thing, and get to the bottom of it!

This arc can be open to anyone who plays a Spider-Man villain who is capable of faking his webbing and/or movements, but this one is pretty much a solo effort for Miles to figure it out.

N O T E S

• This particular character is the one that is going to be more inclined to show up in crossovers and crisis events. Further, he isn't as much of a mainstay to the Teen Titans as the other members, as he still lives and mostly operates in New York City. With that, he's more of an Honorary Titan who comes in when someone of his niche is needed.

Other notes will be taken as determined.

Fun Fact - His appearance is slightly different, due to his character being inspired, in part, by Donald Glover or Childish Gambino who originally was supported by Stan Lee himself to become cast in the "Amazing Spider-Man" film, as Spider-Man instead of Garfield who was chosen. Further, he also voiced Miles in the cartoon show Ultimate Spider-Man.
