Cheers, Vandy.

@GreenGrenade

Of course! Oh and @Altered Tundra, feel free to apply as another character at any time! I would very much like to have you as part of our RP!

[KriticalKrab]

I first came here to in the hopes of playing Batman or Flash, and both are taken so that was a no go. There's also already another green lantern but I was wondering if I could be Hal?

[Vandy]

Go ahead and get a sheet up for Hal, who knows what will happen. Since it the Green Lantern Corps maybe you and @Lovleand can work something out. *edit @GreenGrenade you have been added to the OP of the character section.

AQUAMAN

| Name | Aquaman; Arthur Curry; Orin of Atlantis | Age: | 20 | Appearance | He has outstandingly blonde hair, as visibly yellow as a sunflower. It is feathered, yet thin and cut short. His skin is Caucasian, though he has the tan of a California surfer. He is well-muscled and toned. He has a god-like build, though he is relatively lean as far as superheroes go (more than Flash, less than Superman). As far as garb goes, he wears a variety of American style clothes while above the surface. But under the sea, or in battle, he will wear orange scale armor above slick black leggings that have a sheen like the skin of an eel, the associated gloves and boots are made of a seaweed green material that is extremely durable, yet flexible, with the exception of spikes that protrude from the forearm. Under the waves, he alternatively employs a skintight outfit that has purple, green, and various shades off blue to camouflage him in the water. | Powers | As an Atlantean, his physique differs from a human's in a variety of basic ways. As a response to the pressures of the deep, they have skin tougher than steel, that cannot be pierced by any conventional needle, but possibly by a canine or a machine gun at point blank range, and superhuman strength sufficient to bring a supertanker to a complete stop on the water. He has an ability to breathe water as well as a natural super-speed swimming ability. His senses are also superior to a human's, with sight, smell, and hearing adapted to the deep Unlike other Atlanteans, he has the ability to influence most aquatic (fish, dolphins) and semiaquatic (otters, platypus, etc.) creatures as a result of being the king of the seas. From an Atlantean standpoint, his half-human heritage grants him the power to breathe air. A family heirloom, his trident, is one of five relics crafted by Lord Atlan, who made it indestructible and able to propel itself when thrown. | Weaknesses | Water or Air deprivation causes him to become subject to general weakness and frequent blackouts. He has a need to 'breathe' at least every other day, though a thirst of sorts will set in hours after not being in contact with either fluid. | Origin | Thousands of years ago, the city of Atlantis was sunk by Poseidon as punishment for the crimes of its people. It's first King, Atlan, had been a powerful sorcerer as a result of dealings with Circe, which had infuriated Poseidon. In order to appease the lord of the seas, he surrendered his throne, which Poseidon gave to his sister, Atlanna. Atlan lived on in exile, giving counsel and aid to those who sought him out. Queen Atlanna ruled graciously, eventually expanding the reach of Atlantis to create an undersea empire. After the second world war, which Atlantis played a discreet role in, they were discovered by human oceanographer Tom Curry. Atlanna met with him, communicating with magical assistance and they took a liking to each other. Shortly after meeting, she claimed Tom as her husband. Because of an inability to naturally breathe water, Atlanna visited Atlan to gain the ability to breathe air. Years into her reign, she gave birth to her son, Arthur, or Orin. She died five years later because she was killed by her advisor in a treasonous plot to overtake the kingdom, starting with its principal city, renamed Poseidonis to gain favor with its namesake. General Vulko became the leader of the Atlantean loyalists and rescued Orin from the clutches of the traitors, who intended to raise him as their own to ease the transition of authority. Vulko delivered Arthur to his father and waged a war against the rebels that has lasted over a decade. For fourteen years Arthur lived on land, discovering his abilities while at the beach, until Vulko returned him to his kingdom in preparation for the war's end. As soon as he was brought under the sea, Vulko brought him to see Atlan, who gifted him the Trident he'd made and gave him several abilities superior to his brethren. He quickly adjusted to life beneath the waves, and was immediately given position as Vulko's superior. He served in the military and fought in the front lines, boldly leading his people. A successful campaign has led to the recovery of every city but one, Poseidonis itself. The rebel leaders: Orm and his sister Mera, former disciples of Atlan and children of the original rebels. | Arcs | Ultimatum: Finally ending the rebellion, Arthur closes in on Poseidonis and attempts to reunite his people. Despite having the best of intentions for both sides, he is forced to pay a price that could alter the course of Atlantis forever. Deathwish: Vulko informs Arthur that his brother in arms has been wounded, perhaps mortally. Worse, it was Arthur's own doing that caused it. Because of this, he decides to save his life at any cost, even if it means he loses his own. The Return: Deep-sea fishermen have been plucking Atlantean citizens and property straight out of the sea. Worse yet, the captives are enslaved and put to work by human oppressors. Hearing this, Arthur sets out on a rescue mission.

Alright, obviously some things will be similar to Alan Scott but here's my second favorite Lantern.

My Hider

Character:(Hal Jordan) Age: (22.) Appearance: Powers/Abilities: Galactic Encyclopedia: The ring is programmed with the vast knowledge of the universe, collected and compiled into the Book of Oa by the Guardians of the Universe. The ring bearer can also use this function to scan, interact, and compare an object to its database, the Book of Oa. Flight: The ring allows the user to fly as fast as Mach 10 in atmosphere. Flight can reach up to light speed in space allowing for faster travel between planets. Forcefield: The ring can create force fields of multiple sizes to protect the wearer and those around him. The Oan ring also automatically creates a forcefield in space to and provides a synthetic life support system to allow space travel. Energy Constructs: The ring uses the Oan green energy to form constructs. These constructs are only limited by the users’ imagination and can be as strong or as weak as he wills. He can also choose to simply blast an object with a beam of energy. Weaknesses: (Hal’s Power Ring is completely unable to affect the color yellow. The ring is also limited by its charge, which lasts for exactly 24 hours. It must be recharged by a personal Lantern.) Backstory/orgins: (Hal Jordan was born in Coast City to Martin Jordan and Jessica Jordan, the middle of three children with older brother Jack and a younger sister Jane. As a young child, he idolized his father, a test pilot who worked for Ferris Aircrafts. He enjoyed every waking moment with his parents like any child would. However at a very young age, he had to face one of his only and greatest fears when his father died in a plane crash right before his eyes. Despite his family's wishes, and ignoring the fate that befell his father, he had decided followed in his Martin’s footsteps and joined the United States Air Force on his 18th birthday – turning up that very morning outside the Armed Forces Career Center before it had even opened. Now a test pilot at the age of 22, Hal Jordan has been enjoying the career his father had unfortunately left behind. Unbeknownst to Jordan an alien named Abin Sur had crash landed into a nearby desert. Giving attention to his wounds Abin found he had been fatally injured in his crash. Desperate to find his ring’s successor he removed his ring and allowed it to sail off into the air. Seeking great willpower, and the ability to overcome fear, the ring was drawn to Hal Jordan. In order to extract it’s next bearer the ring forcefully took Jordan out of his aircraft, leaving only a ball of flames where the plane had previously flown. Now within its grasp Hal was unwillingly brought forth to Abin Sur so he could receive his Lantern and hear his final words. In his last moments Abin told him of the Lantern Oath, it would allow him to charge his ring and it would give him light in times of darkness and despair. The alien eventually died leaving Jordan with one of the universes strongest weapons and an unexplainable corpse. Mere hours later Abin’s Lantern fellows were sent in search of the new bearer and the previous user Abin Sur, distraught and upset at the ring’s choice the group originally chose not to bring him but instead the ring. With the interference of Sinestro, who would soon betray the corps, the dispute was solved and Hal was brought before the Guardians of the Universe. The Oan guardians sought to train him like all recruits and assigned him under the alien Killowog’s watch. After surviving his training and Sinestro’s betrayal of the Corps the Guardians decided to allow Hal to return to his home, sector 2814. Now an Intergalactic Peacekeeper of a vast organization Hal is charged with the duty of protecting all sentient life in his space sector 2814. As Green Lantern, Hal Jordan patrols the galaxy and participates in joint missions with other Lanterns on occasion. He continued to spend his time at home working at Ferris Aircrafts, where he romantically pursues his boss, the Carol Ferris.) Arc ideas: Mind over Might: Trapped on an alien world with a depowered ring Hal Jordan must find a way to contact his allies, or risk a deadly brawl against a brutal alien warlord. The Strongest Weapon In The Universe: Former Lantern Corps member Sinestro has been branded an outlaw, criminal, and personal enemy of the corps. Trapped in an Oan science cell he spends his days conspiring against his former allies, however an even older enemy of the corps frees Sinestro and provides him the one weapon he can use against the Green Lantern Corps. Fear Itself: Years have passed after Sinestro’s attack on the corps with his own army and Hal has become one of the most well respected members of the Green Lanterns. But all of that changes when Mongul and many other aliens come to Earth seeking retribution.

Wow, I'm offline for a few hours and come back to two well written and complete character sheets. That's a very nice surprise! So for the first one. @Nightrunner you beat me to him darn it. Lol I was going to take on Aquaman as my second character if nobody else took him. In any case you have written a very nice CS and I am very happy that someone is giving Aquaman the attention that he deserves! Feel free to move him on over to the character section, well done sir! Can't wait to see what you do with him. Now for number tow. @KriticalKrab I like your sheet a lot. It is very good and it came out surprisingly fast! I would be ready to accept it if not for the fact that @Lovleand had an incomplete Alan Scott sheet up. I leave it up to you two to decide whether you want to have a CS vote or have two Lanterns in the group (in which case you two would have to work something out to keep continuity). In any case, great work on Hal Jordan! *edit Oh and Nightrunner, if you want to make the name/title larger, use a header. They can be found in the formatting cheatsheet at the bottom of the page.

[Enarr]

Thanks, dude. Luv you, guys. Great to get back into the swing of things.

[Vandy]

Quick update for everybody, I should have my first IC post up in a couple of hours. Once that happens the universe will have officially launched! Any accepted characters will be able to post at their leisure! If everything goes well, today will be our official launch.

[KriticalKrab]

Expect my sheet to be finished in the next hour or three.

@Vandy

That's good to hear. I can't wait to get this on the road.

[Enarr]

@BlackSam3091

@Blacksam3091 Normally I'd challenge you for Batman, but it seems unfair, not that you lack any measure of skill, but I feel doing so would be rude or perhaps greedy. So, sometime in the future, if we play side by side again, expect a challenge from me.

[Blue Demon]

Good thing I didn't go for Batman like I was debating! It would have been chaos. :D

[Vandy]

Ok guys, post is up. Go crazy! Let me know what you think!

@Nightrunner

Lol Alrighty then. Just outta curiosity how does the challenge's work? I've seen them mentioned a few times, but I've never been part of one.

[Vandy]

We haven't had one yet. Basically though we'd just take a vote on character sheets via PM. Or we could just use the new like system. Anyway whoever has the most votes gets the character. The players involved cannot vote however, so for example you couldn't vote for who gets Batman because you might be a little biased. Oh, and I'm glad to hear that you are nearly finished with Batman!

[GreenGrenade]

I'm working on my opening post, it shouldn't be long before it's up. Let's get this show on the road!

[Blue Demon]

Mine's up. Part 1 of 3. Or less depending on what everyone else is doing.

[GreenGrenade]

First part of Rise of the Rogues is up! Doing it in three parts, like @Blue Demon.
