Where do you make these banners?

Where do you make these banners?

@Ever Faithful

I use a copy of photoshop that I definitely legally acquired for mine. Speaking of, I made two more:

Spider-Man

Doctor Fate

Not to spam the thread with them... But I am having plenty of fun with 'em.

[Zoey Boey]

Makes me wish I can do my own custom hero. His faith would be challenged to the very core.

There are plenty of canon characters who have faith and belief systems. Daredevil and Nightcrawler are both Catholic.

C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T ________________________________________________________________________________________ Superboy was born in a glass womb with a syringe and petri dish for parents. He was the firstborn son of CADMUS International, a rapidly rising conglomerate that got its start as a biopharmaceutical company at the cutting edge of genetic engineering and genome editing. The ambitions of their founder, Dr. Paul Westfield, stretched far further than medicine, however. He was engrossed with the metahuman phenomena and Superman in-particular, pouring his heart and soul into unlocking the alien's genetic potential. That obsession bore fruit and it would come to be called Superboy. His 'birth' radically altered the company's direction. They hired teams of PR consultants, marketing experts and social media gurus to design the Superboy's persona from the ground up. His appearance, personality and very being were all shaped for one, specific mission: to sell the public- and national governments- on homegrown superheroes. Four months later, Superboy is a household name. He has one of the largest social media followings of any public superhero. He's appeared on late night TV, national news, and even a certain comedian and DMT enthusiast's podcast. They've got him on soda ads, pajamas and charity campaigns. A drone-based film crew ensures all of his heroics are publicized, from the planned events to the spontaneous battles with low-grade villains. CADMUS even got him into the freakin’ Avengers! Rumor has it there's a documentary series in the works that'll reveal the real, grungy underbelly of what its like to be a superhero-- on CADMUS's exclusive streaming service, of course. For all the power, fame and wealth at his fingertips, Superboy couldn't be more dissatisfied. He's no idiot- he knows he's a product from a test tube meant to push an agenda. CADMUS has him shaking hands and signing autographs when he oughta be helping people- Superman doesn't do media tours. They might call him family, might show him their twisted version of appreciation, but he doesn't have parents. Can't have real relationships. He yearns for...something more. P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) ________________________________________________________________________________________ Superboy was my old ID on the Guild for a reason: I absolutely adore this character. As a real young kid Superman was always my favorite superhero, and he was strangely both something to aspire toward and yet too perfect to ever attain. Then along came Superboy, the living representation of that idea- and I was hooked. This iteration of the character is my modernized take on the character, shifting him to be the closest real world analogue we have to the superhero: influencers and celebrities. It’s a take on the genre we’ve seen before- The Boys is an obvious inspiration- but not in these One Universe games. I’m hoping to tackle some big capital-T-themes this time around: all the expected SciFi trappings on artificially created lifeforms, corporate power and influencer culture. Give it a spicing of coming-of-age teen drama and you’ve got yourself a decently meaty story. Don’t let any of that distract you from the hitting things and all the shitty one-liners. My biggest hope is that somebody comes along and applied for the the big, blue Boy Scout, but I made sure the concept could stand on its own two legs without Superman as a player character- all it really demands is that he exists and is somewhat notable as a figure. I’m eternally down as fuck for an eventual forming of the Teen Titans or some other group of young fuckups as that’s the environment the character thrives in the most, but I’ll be more than happy with the occasional team up. For this beginning stretch of the game Superboy is undoubtedly a ROAMING character, but I’ll be running through a Cadmus plot in his solo stints to develop him as a character and there’s a very good chance that could balloon into a full blown plot, turning him into a DRIVING character for at least one arc.

^{"What affects the surface, affects Atlantis."}

Aquaman. Much derided, not for unfair reasons most of the time. Still, the character has had a renaissance lately, even if I can't really stand the full-on surfer dude version Mamoa is going for. But my Arthur will be in exile from Atlantis, which is being ruled by his cousin Namor, who in turn is being manipulated against Arthur by Arthur's half-brother Orm. But Curry is more or less fine with not having to take on the duties of king, instead spending his time exploring the oceans and lending a hand on the surface when he thinks he's needed.

P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ):

As or right now my goal is to be a wandering hero lending a hand when needed in JL stories or someone else's stories should that make sense. I can see a struggle to save Atlantis happening at some point, but as of now Aquaman is a free agent character that I can use to interact with the rest of the game.

Atlantean Royal Family

• Namor - Current king of Atlantis
• Orm - Vizier of Atlantis, poisoning Namor's mind against his half brother Arthur
• Atlanna - Arthur and Orm's mother
• Vulko - Arthur's mentor and traveling partner
• Mera - Arthur's betrothed

Don't worry, magic is in everyone's heart, you just have to search for it or something.

That or be baller and just have a magical artifact.

@Rapid Reader

The real magic is the friends we made along the way. Which is why I always play a non-magical Fighter at the table.

[Ever Faithful]

I wonder if there is a magic that can cure Nora. There has to be Unless it's a curse

[Dead Cruiser]

@HenryJonesJr I'd love to play Namor on an as-needed basis.
