Real Name:
George "Digger" Harkness
Code name:
Captain Boomerang
Prison Inmate #:
#609
Appearance:

Standing at 5'9, Digger has a mass of messy red hair on his head, with the sides of his face covered by scruffy facial hair. He is often seen sporting a dark blue trenchcoat, with a utility belt slung over his shoulder and across his chest containing various boomerangs. He also carries around a satchel containing the rest of his arsenal, as well as generally being a secure place to store loot received from his heists.
History:
George "Digger" Harkness began his days in Kurrumburra, Australia with his parents Ian and Betty Harkness. From an early age it was obvious that Ian hated the boy. He shouted at him, swore at him and when he was drunk, beat him. This all became apparent later when Digger discovered that Ian wasn't his real father, with a man named Mr Wiggins actually being his father instead! This Mr Wiggins had visited the boy often when he was little, before moving away to America. Before leaving, the man gave George an old wooden boomerang that had belonged to him as a child. Ian hated it, caused George to love it even more in order to spite him. The boy played with it everyday, smashing bottles in the garden. He quickly mastered the "weapon", with him being able to hit nearly anything with it, moving or standing. His life took a darker turn however when a very drunk Ian caught him practicing one autumn evening. Ian interrupted the boy mid-throw with a drunken slur, causing him to miss its return, with the piece of wood hitting Ian instead. The man flew into a fit of rage, attacking the now 16 year old George. Fighting back, George overpowered him, with him ending the struggling by beating Ian to death with his boomerang.

It was then that George fled his home, stealing Ian's truck and whatever money he had lying around, as well as a box full of valuables that Ian had hidden under his bed. It was from the notes in this box that George, now going by Digger, discovered the true identity of his father and decided to travel to America to find him. More particularly, Central City. He spent a few weeks performing petty crimes such as robbing convenient stores before leaving the country in order to raise some quick case for himself, a task he continued to do after arriving in central city. America however was different than Australia. Here criminals ran around in tights, battling it out with so-called Superheroes. Digger decided he may as well do the same, with his trusty old boomerang giving him inspiration. Tracking down his real Father, Digger revealed himself to Mr Wiggins as his son, who took him under his wing. Mr Wiggins was CEO of a major Toy Corporation, so as a gift to Digger, he gave him a job in any department he wished. Instead Digger requested the design of a new toy. Something classic for the kids. A boomerang. Wiggins agreed and entrusted Digger to oversee the project. This was all part of his plan however, as Digger hijacked the project, editing the designs in order to build himself an arsenal of trick boomerangs. After a few weeks, Captain Boomerang was born, using his creations to break into Wiggins's vault. He nearly got away with a couple million before he was apprehended by Central City's own hero, The Flash.

After breaking out, Digger fell in with the Rogues of Central City along the side of Captain Cold, Mirror Master and the like. Throughout the years of service with the team, through numerous heists, prison sentences and breakouts, Digger always felt second best compared to the others. Deciding to change that after discovering that after deciding to break into Star Labs in order to plunder some new technology for the Rogues, hoping that doing so would gain him respect. Without anyone else's knowledge he broke in and all was going well. That was until he was spotted by a lone security guard. In his panic, Digger killed him, which resulted in the arrival of the police, and worse still, The Flash. Managing to fend them off for some time, Harkness called in Cap' Cold, requesting backup of his own. His leader scoffed, informing him that it was his own fault as he had broken the Rogue's one rule; No killing.

Captain Boomerang was quickly apprehended and sent to Belle Reve, where he was met with a mysterious woman named Amanda Waller.
Powers/Abilities:
While Harkness has no real superhuman abilities, he is skilled in the area of creating and using complicated boomerangs of his own designs as weapons. Examples of his arsenal includes:

Boomerangs

Explosive Boomerang :Detonates on contact, damage to all in one area.

Razor Boomerang: A boomerang capable of cutting through bone and flesh when thrown correctly.

Both of these designs are collapsible for easy concealment.

#6069

History

Born to Lilian Worth on a cold December night in 1997, Rose Worth grew up as a very self-sufficient child. As her mother worked in a brothel for most of her life, Rose had learned at a very early age how to fend for herself. She attended the poorest of the schools, getting barely passing grades all through-out. It was hard to stay consistent when she was forced to move and attend an entirely new school almost twice a year. After she turned thirteen, Rose had already had enough and quit trying to strive academically. Over the years she continued to grow, spiteful of the mother that she never truly had who didn’t even have the knowledge as to who her real father was, since at the time of conception her mother lived a very… alternate lifestyle.

After turning fourteen, things became more… complicated in Rose’s life. Upon coming home one night from spending a weekend at a friend’s, Rose found that her mother had yet to come home, and an hour later there were police at her door, explaining that her mother had been found dead. It was pegged as random gang violence with two gunshot wounds straight to the chest. The police were firm in hammering in the point that her mother had died quickly and painlessly, but Rose found that she couldn’t be brought to care either way. Rose ran before the cops could take her to any kind of foster home, putting it in her head that she would just be homeless for a while.

It didn’t take long for Rose to get into trouble after that. Breaking into a convenient store in the dead of night, Rose was quickly apprehended by Nightwing, a well-known vigilante throughout the area and just as trained as The Bat himself. Nightwing had shown her mercy, recognizing how much of a hard time she was going through and instead of turning her in for breaking into a convenient store, he offered to train her.

The years flew by and Rose found herself at sixteen years old, excellently trained, in an on-again-off-again relationship with Dick Grayson (who had revealed his identity to her shortly after they began training) and in cahoots with the Teen Titans. They were an odd bunch, the Teen Titans, but Rose wouldn’t have had it any other way. Rose became well practiced in combat; cleaning up the streets, helping those in need and putting the bad guys in their place.

It was during one of her solo missions that Rose came upon a dual set of katana blades crafted for the League of Assassins themselves. She took them as her own and developed a more original style of fighting… a style that the Teen Titans didn’t approve of as her tactics became more callous, aiming for results rather than going about things the right way.

Flying solo once again, Rose found herself under the capture of Lex Luthor. Drugged, sedated, and completely helpless, Rose was forced to undergo a series of experiments dealing with various chemicals the man had created on his own, though nothing she had been subjected to could have prepared her for the extraneous pain that was the Mirakuru. Immediately after injection, Rose began to bleed from the eyes, her mind no longer in control of her body as it thrashed around against the bindings that held her down. Her screams filled the building until finally, she collapsed, and presumed dead.

Hours later, Rose jolted awake, buried deep inside a dumpster on the outskirts of town and miles away from where she had been last she had been conscious. Working on a way to get home, it was then that Rose realized the effects the Mirakuru had taken the liberty of in changing in her body. She was faster, stronger, more durable, had a higher endurance and agility. Her stamina was increased, her reflexes and speed faster and all senses deadly sharp… everything about her had increased to superhuman levels.

Busy experimenting with her new-found talents, Rose nearly missed the shadow that flew above her. Despite her relationship with Nightwing and close relations with the other Teen Titans, Rose had never once met, nor seen The Bat, and so curiosity got the better of her and she followed, putting her new skills to the test. It was easy to track him, whether he knew she was there or not she did not know, but just as she was getting bored of watching… he showed up.

Of course she had heard of Deathstroke, he was just as famous as The Bat himself, though The Teen Titans looked down heavily on the type of man he was. A villain, most would call him, but Rose had yet to come to her own conclusions. She watched in a way that was nothing short of awe-inspiring as Deathstroke took on the Bat head-on, and seemed to be winning. She knew she should throw in her help to The Bat, the Teen Titans would expect it of her, but she found herself mesmerized and transfixed with the man in split-colored mask.

Just as it had begun, it ended. The Bat and Deathstroke had gone their separate ways but what had been left in Rose’s soul was an impression, a forever need to be just like him in all ways possible and a burning desire to get to know him. Despite her best efforts, however, Deathstroke wasn’t ever to be seen again, not by her or any of the other Teen Titans. She decided then and there that she would leave the Teen Titans forever, leaving the close bonds created with the ties of friendship and her relationship with Nightwing behind… and find Deathstroke herself.

A year later, and now seventeen years old, Rose holds a torch for the deadly mercenary that has long been missing from the streets for over a year by wearing his colors, ‘taking his place’ while she continues her search for him. It wasn’t until just a few days ago that she learned of his imprisonment, and started to hatch an idea as to how to spring him free.

Powers/Abilities

She has received some training from Dick Grayson, including many lectures on the virtues of being a hero. She also possesses a precognitive sense that lets her see into the immediate future (only about two to five seconds at a time) which she has had since birth, but wasn’t discovered until her training with Nightwing. This allows her to react to oncoming attacks against her and to counter them accordingly.

She currently wields twin energy katanas that can cut through anything, and briefly merge them into an energy shield. She also carries with her a small stash of adrenaline, both because she is addicted to the substance, and also because while high on adrenaline her precognitive sense evolves into the ability to glimpse scenes from her immediate future. However, the more she uses adrenaline to enhance her powers, the more her metabolism is unbalanced, straining her health.

Thanks to the Mirakuru running through her blood, each and every one of her abilities has been enhanced to a super-human level, making her all-the-more deadly.

Other:
Rose is addicted to all things bad for her; adrenaline, cigarettes, alcohol, dangerous men and harder drugs. She uses her sexuality to gain the advantage where fists and fury would otherwise get her nowhere. She enjoys making men squirm and has a habit of kissing and touching those she intends to kill to put them off guard, though only finding a sexual release when she watches the life draining from the eyes of her victims.
Also, being Half Australian, Rose has a heavy Australian accent.

Teal, it would help me out a lot if you would look over Rose's information and make sure you're okay with everything since our characters are... (kind of?) connected.

[Teal]

I've been looking from something that might contradict my Deathstroke's brief history, but I couldn't find anything so you're fine by me. And man, Rose seems to have had a run-in with a good bunch of DC characters, for a 17 year old that is.

Lol such is the life of being a Teen Titan for a handful of years *shrugs*

[DeathstrokeSW]

I'll get the OOC set up tonight. Digger Harkness, Rose Worth are approved.

[Archangel89]

Is there room for another...I would like to try an idea where Red Hood is a villain. If that doesn't work I could think of another actual villain.

[Teal]

I'm pretty sure Red Hood's criminal record is enough to get him locked up in Belle Reve.

[Natty]

Yeah Jason was basically a criminal when he appeared as Red Hood for the first time!

[Archangel89]

Sweet...I'll get a sheet ASAP

[YoshiSkittlez]

Hmmm... Maybe the guild will stay up for longer than five minutes now...

How is everyone today?

[Archangel89]

Good and you?

[YoshiSkittlez]

Doing alright, ready to get this rp up and going. How's that Red Hood sheet coming along?

[Archangel89]

I've been having some trouble with the history actually. I mean I know his history forward and back but for some reason it's hard to put down on paper so to speak

[Archangel89]

[YoshiSkittlez]

I know what you mean. I had to do the same thing with Rose Wilson Worth. A lot of her stuff is the same, other stuff I completely made up on the spot to fit the rp better.

[Archangel89]

I guess my biggest issue is figuring out how to merge his story and the games story together. The only I feel I can get him to Belle Reeve is to have Waller personally pull him from Gotham

[DeathstrokeSW]

OOC is up! Natty, Teal, Repost your CSes there with Approved in bold at the top.
