[Ruby]

Player Name:
@Ruby

Primary Character:
Supergirl

Secret Identity:
Kar'a of House El, daughter of Zor-El and Alza. Much of her given name does not translate into terran languages. On Sol-III, Kar'a has a few aliases, chief among them the US native Kara Connors. (Or Kara Kent, depending.)

Status:
As a recent arrival to the planet, and still hiding in secret, Kara will begin Solo with the idea to at least get her as a Reservist if not an outright Active team member.

Age:
Krypton exploded ~27 years before Clark hits Smallville (using Neil DeGrasse Tyson's math), say he dies around 35=62 years since Krypton exploded. Kara reaches Earth shortly after his death, she's 18 at the time of stasis...she's actually 80 years old, but is physically still 18 years old.

City:
Metrpolis, but given her abilities she can spring up almost anywhere in a relatively short amount of time.

Day Job:
College Student.

Powers:

Kara is, like Superman before her, a living solar battery. This unique makeup allows her the following powers:

-Flight
-Superhuman speed
-Superhuman strength
-Superhuman durability
-Superhuman senses
-Super breath
-Heat vision

Weaknesses:

Vulnerable to various forms of Kryptonite, with green kryptonite having the most damaging effect on Kara.

Vulnerable to magic.

Skills:

Kara is the product of the now lost civilization of Krypton's greatest schools, and the training from both her parents as well as her aunt and uncle. A genius level intellect with a wide array of skills.

She helped design, build, and program the vessels Kal-El and she used to escape Krypton's destruction.

Appearance

BRIEF Bio:

Brief, he says. Bio, he says.

Kar'a of House El was born to an esteemed line, but one long past it's golden hours. Where House El had once been noteworthy for it's Science and Administration Caste members, too many generations had past without anything of note from House El. Some said this was starting to change with brothers Jor-El and Zor-El; both were well known in their fields, though both struggled to overcome the dwindled fortunes of House El. Political connections had been lost to both brothers, making their climb to renewed respectability all the more impressive.

And ensured their story, and the story of every Kryptonian, would end in tragedy.

If House El had retained it's prominence, maybe Kryptonian decision makers would have listened to Jor-El. Had Zor-El been convinced by his brother sooner of the coming end of times, something could have been. Something, anything. But nothing was done, for no one listened. When the universe gave signs of ruin no Kryptonian could dispute, it was already far too late. Krypton was in it's last twilight.

Many young Kryptonians refused to accept it. Surely their futures were not gone already. Something could be done, anything? Some tried. Ero of House Rol, the most renowned mind of the Science Caste, became convinced of a universal doorway that could be constructed, and used to at least get some young Kryptonians off the surface. Individual craft, he argued, would never get enough Kryptonians off the surface to make a difference. Most would likely die in the long, A.I. directed, trip to whatever destination while the Kryptonian lay dormant in stasis.

Where the renowned dismissed the idea, Jor-El and Zor-El became obsessed with it. All they needed, the brothers argued, was to get Kal and Kar'a off the planet. Kal was so young, and the trip so inherently dangerous, that Jor-El's wife nearly talked him out of sending the infant. But Kar'a promised she could look after him, and protect her infant cousin. The mission was finalized, construction and training for Kar'a began. It was then that Kar'a said saw many of her friends for the last time, saying farewells before retreating to Jor-El's secluded citadel.

Kar'a still keeps a picture sent to her by a group of her friends, all of them together for the final end, mere hours before the dying began.

The best laid plans...as predicted, something went wrong with the plan of House El. Kar'a craft went off course, slipping through an unrecorded wormhole. The A.I. of her craft, Sanctuary, corrected the course, but the damage was done. Going off course would cost Kar'a twenty seven years, unknown to a frozen in stasis Kar'a. She would spend an unknown amount of time at the bottom of one of Sol-III's oceans, until a figure with alabaster skin and starlight for eyes came to her in dreams, and gently pushed her back to realm of the conscious.

It was Kar'a first contact with any Terran, and the figure's protective nature, to say nothing of what he did for her, would do much to open Kara's mind and heart to Terrans. After awaking just in time to save Sanctuary from major damage, Kar'a would spend days repairing Sanctuary to full functionality and working order. When Sanctuary raised above the waves of the south Pacific Ocean, and opened it's primary hatch, Kar'a breathed in this new planet's atmosphere in for the first time, and was hit with it's yellow sun for the first time.

By the time Kar'a fully processed what the rays of the yellow sun did to her physiology, Sanctuary had located Kal-El: he was dead, murdered. Guilt leveled Kar'a, the person who was supposed to protect Kal-El. In her grief she asked Sanctuary to tell her what Kal-El had become. Clark Kent, Smallville, the Daily Planet, Superman, the Justice League...it all flashed before her eyes.

The plan became her own covert assimilation into the population of Sol-III. Months of training and research on Sol-III followed, all of it in the utter isolation of Sanctuary and the Atlantic ocean. Eventually a plain was laid; Kar'a would adopt the alias of Kara Connors, Sanctuary would break into human computer networks and establish the details of the identity. Since money was needed, Sanctuary took it from the computerized bank accounts of several human corporations that Kar'a had discovered during research to be corrupt and more harmful to the planet and eco-systems of Sol-III than good.

The alias and funding in hand, Sanctuary edited the records of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston to make Kara Connors a first year student; one face among so very many. The school's strong record in Science and Technology appealed to the Kryptonian Science Caster. The idea was to provide Kara with an introduction into not just Terran technology and science, but an introduction into the society and culture of 'hew-mans' as well. During her stay at MIT, the Astrology department reported several break-ins. Nothing was ever taken, but their instruments and computers were always left pointing to the same sector of deep space. Despite searching for curiosity's sake, the MIT astrologists could never find anything in the sector of space. Only debris and light from an explosion of incredible magnitude...

Story Arcs:

The Real Story - While Sanctuary is able to provide Kar'a an expansive version of Kal-El's, and Superman's, story there's nothing like getting the story from those who actually knew her cousin. If that means spending time in Smallville, or sneaking into the Daily Planet, or knocking on the Fortress of Solitude, or even breaking into the Batcave--Kar'a will find the people who knew Kal-El best.

Bad Moon Rising - Kar'a becomes determined to ensure Doomsday never rises again, that no one will ever find any trace of the murderous beast to use against anyone else again. Sanctuary comes up with a hit in the ultra-secure (for Earth) and ultra-advanced (for Earth) servers of an organization named LexCorp.

Game On - Supergirl makes her first fully public appearance, coming in to assist other heroes at a time of great need. After the dust settles the sigil of House El graces the balcony of Lois Lane's balcony for the first time since Kal-El's death. The story, and the interview, reveals Supergirl to be Superman's cousin, and tells the two very different stories of two escape pods.

Supporting Characters:

Sanctuary - advanced A.I., as well as the modular vessel that brought Kar'a to Sol-III. Supergirl's partner/sidekick.

Major Hallie "Comet" Kale - USAF officer and expert pilot. Saved by Supergirl, the officer seeks an understanding (and friendship) with the reluctant alien refugee.

Secondary Character:
Uh. Still thinking.

Additional Notes:
Kar'a is an alien, and a refugee. She is devastated that she was unable to be there for her cousin. While Dream of the Endless opened her heart to humanity, it's going to be a rough process of assimilating herself. She has to decide if Earth is simply a safe refuge for now, or a new home, because these "hew-mans" are awfully odd and Earth more than a little primitive and backyard compared to the advanced alien society she was raised in.

Hope I also get to see some Gothamites in this rp :D

[Avanhelsing]

My guy is from Gotham!!!

[Unknown100]

@Avanhelsing

Ooooh, nice, the Spirit. I'm doing the Question as my secondary, and I smell a potential team-up.

*Old-timey radio voice*
He's a thought-dead detective with a flying car! He's a cooky detective without a face! They Fight Crime!

@Simple Unicycle

Uh, maybe our characters will bump into each other at some point ;)

My guy is from Gotham!!!

@Avanhelsing

Sorry :p
Hope to see the Spirit around then ;)

[Archmage MC]

I could always change the city my hero is from. I just took one that wasn't all that popular that had a lab nearby.

[Avanhelsing]

Oh I meant my OC is from Gotham. The spirit is from Central city (Kinda )

[Ruby]

Hope I also get to see some Gothamites in this rp :D

@Unknown100

If accepted I imagine Kara could easily hop into Gotham. Might even move her, given IC collaborative options with various characters.

[Dblade26]

Might not even need to move her, she's fast enough it's not really effort to pop over into Gotham.

[Shard]

I would love to join this, but I just want to check if I have gotten this right. You have to make two characters, one canon and one non-canon?

[Simple Unicycle]

@Shard
You're not required to make two characters, but if you want to make an OC you need to play a canon as well. That's how I grasped it anyhow.

✞Biography✞

Clicky click

The GM said short so goddammit it'll be short!

A child named John Constantine is born(no shit?)His mother, Mary Anne, died giving birth to John and his stillborn twin brother because an earlier abortion—forced on her by John's father, Thomas—had weakened her womb. Because he was unable to accept responsibility for his wife's death, Thomas blamed John and the pair grew up with a deep dislike for one another. In their childhood, John and his older sister Cheryl lived briefly with their aunt and uncle in Northampton to escape from their father's alcoholism and subsequent imprisonment for stealing a female neighbour's underwear. They moved back to Liverpool when their father was released. One of John's first acts of magic, as a child, was to hide all of his childhood innocence and vulnerability in a box to rid himself of it. Later, in the 1960s, a teenage John ran away from home, but not before a botched curse caused his father to become withered and frail. John eventually made his permanent home in London, rooming with (Chas Chandler), a young man who has since gone on to become John's closest — and longest surviving — friend. From there, John has killed and banished numerous demons, met lovers, lost lovers, met friends, lost friends, lost his memory, fathered children(long story), and traveled the world. Just your ordinary man...

✞Stupor: Having bitten off more than he can chew, John finds himself in a dangerous mind game, which may or may not included the Demon version of DnD..(Solo)
✞Brave New World: Business is oddly low in John's trade. And what does that mean?Seeing how much mischief he can get himself into!..(Team Up)

✞Supporting Characters✞
Papa Midnite- The infamous and immortal friend/nemesis to John. Depends on what mood he's in if he helps
Zatanna- Former lover and member of the JLA. Wonder if that'll come in handy..
Chas Chandler- The one person he might actually give a damn about. And he's alive so that's a bonus.

Gotham's Lost Son

Player Name:
Avanhelsing

Primary Character:
Kid Solomon

Secret Identity:
Liam McNeil

Status:
Titans (Eventually the JLU)


Age:
17 years old

City:
He is based in Gotham for now.

Day Job:
Running the streets of Gotham trying to do good is his night job. He's currently a student at Gotham Academy and occasionally looking in on the Gamily business of importing and exporting.

Powers:

• Magic: He needs to use spells to cast his magic but his magics are powerful. Due to his half homo-magi blood, he is quite the powerful sorcerer or some day he will be. Today he is just a decent sorcerer. He usually uses his spell book as a focus but in a bind, he can use his blood as a focus. His spells are varied so long as he can pay the required cost. Usually, animal blood will do.
• The Seal of Solomon (Summoning): Liam doesn't see calling outsider beings or demons to help him to do as a bad thing. A creature that can help him is a good thing. The Seal of Solomon allows him to do this. His Magic summons the creature from whichever place it came from and the Seal binds the creature to his service. Liam can only keep on creature at a time for now.
• Blood Magic : He is skilled at the use of blood magic. He can do more "dark" magics with his blood spells. Using this magic, he can place curses or weaken his enemies if he has time to set up.

Weaknesses:
"All Magic Comes with a Price, Dearie": His spells are powerful but they require an offering of something equal in value. If he wants to raise someone from the dead, he must sacrifice someone else's life for the person. The stronger the spell, the more costly the price. If the price is too high, the spell can take a bit of his life.

"One Cannot Rush True Magic": Liam needs time to set up his spells and if his magic is interrupted then it does not work or worse. The spell might backfire or cause something to happen. With more practice he could control this but for now it is a large issue.

Skills:
Liam can read and write in: Latin, Greek, Aramaic, and Hebrew. Despite his magic, he is quite good with his fists. Not going to punch out a powerful person but he would be good against regular thugs. His tutors thought it important that he can fight without his magic.

Appearance:



Liam will eventually need a better outfit but for now Spandex is not his thing. The Mask manages to hide his appearance unless he takes it off willingly.Even people who know him intimately cannot see through the illusion even if they see his tattoos.

BRIEF Bio:

The Wind Spirit's Song (BIO)

The Wind Spirits sings the song around the ruins of an old Mansion in Gotham
Our wisdom flows so sweet. Taste and see.

TRANSMIT - initiate Gotham signal - RECEIVE - initiate the Solomon frequency - THINK OF THE CHILD - initiate the sob cadence - WITNESS - Kid Solomon.

Do you see the burnt mansion ruins over looking Gotham City, Sweetling? We do. We see everything in Gotham. Do you see the impossible claw marks on the door? Or can you hear the cries of anguish from the empty building? We can hear them crying and we know what happened. Would you like to know? We shall tell you the story.

Initiate the History Cadence

Liam Connor McNeil was born on the Eve of All Hallows (Halloween) and from that day forth he was far than normal. The McNeil's had been one of the prominent old families in Gotham and had always seemed to be oddly successful. When ever it seemed that their business was about to fail, they seemed to always bounce back and oddly a servant or two would disappear. It was was so ironic that they would lose a servant and get what they wanted? It is funny how things work out for the morally wrong?

This cycle of success and failure continued for years until eventually, one of his ancestors decided enough was enough. The family would no long sacrifice innocent blood for their own gain. The family was no longer richer than God and all His Angels but they were still wealthy enough to be considered the Upper Crust of the Gotham Elite. The gossip had always been that the McNeil's were an odd lot who never quite fit in. Their Import Export business was still profitable and they did a good deal of business with the Waynes and that made them rich.

Liam was born during a full moon an Halloween and that was seen as a good sign in his family's eyes. His parents were both magical and it appeared that Liam had more power than both of them from birth. Someday, he would lead the family and everything would be fine. From a young age, he was taught the lessons of magic and how to use it. These lessons were important to the young man. Then things got bad for the young man quickly.

Initiate the Trauma Signal

On his tenth birthday, things got worse for Liam. His parents tried to summon something that they did not control. The creature got loose when the wards broke. Then the screaming began waking Liam up from his sleep. We watched as the boy ran through the mansion as hellfire broke out around him. The screams would be with the boy till the day he died. We saw the boy go running out of the house while it was consumed in Hellfire. We watched as the ever faithful butler Giles came to the boy and pulled him away. The loyal servant took the boy away from the destruction and taught him magic all around the world. The boy did not return to Gotham for years. The city for the most part thought that he had died in the fire.

Initate the Now Signal
Now we see our Sweetling using his magic to try and fix Gotham. The Man in the Bat Suit can only fight crazies in masks. It takes the right kind of person to fight a ghost. The Man Bat cannot punch a ghost to death since it is a ghost and all that. We wonder if Kid Solomon can even be a hero despite his family's twisted past. Can someone with a wicked past be something good? Only time shall tell us.

Story Arcs:
The Price of Magic: Magic has a price and Liam has racked up a large debt. The Outsider holding the Debt is willing to ignore it for the proper sacrifice. Can Liam give up His morality for his own life? Should he live? (Solo/ Team)


Blood on the Neon Floor: Someone is kidnapping teenage club goers in Gotham and draining of every drop of blood. Liam believes that it is something to do with Black Magic but this is something he can’t do on his own. Liam's ex boyfriend was one of the victims and it felt personal. He needs all the help he can get and so he would swallow his pride and ask for help. (Team Up)

The Alignment: "When the stars were right, They could plunge from world to world through the sky; but when the stars were wrong, They could not live." : Someone is attempting to summon The Nameless One from the Source Wall. Summoning an Old God to Earth is never a good thing. It will take more than a single young Sorcerer to stop them. (Team Up)

Supporting Characters:
All Arcs: Giles Stonier: Liam's family butler. The older man's job is to teach his young charge about Magic as he had been ordered. The man never seems to age.

The Payment: Zurzazak (The one holding the Contract), anyone willing to help Liam not to lose his soul.

Blood on the Dance Floor: Doctor Gotham , his cult, and any team willing to help Liam stop them from causing mayhem in Gotham.

The Alignment: The Nameless One, and more but no spoilers.

Secondary Character:
Denny Colt: The Spirit (I have a modern twist idea for him.)

Additional Notes:
Liam prefers men over women and most certainly has a type of guy he likes. He has a weakness for the hero type of guy.

I... might join. I have an idea or two I'm toying with.

@Ruby LOL I'm going through right now trying to multi-quote some stuff and address what's already in the thread but its becoming harder. My 8 year old keeps pulling my away. He drew an epic picture of a tiger head and turned it into a Bronze Tiger picture. He chose the character the same way I narrowed my choices down. I drew a grid with 52 spaces and filled it with a ton of DC characters and turned it over and closed my eyes and dropped a pencil tip into it. My first two were listed above and the kid got Bronze Tiger. There are highschool sports logos that don't look this good... kid blew my mind.
