Hey, you're the Capn Parent so if I need to trim the fat or add anybody let me know. That was just me guessing.


Someone call Isaiah Bradley, William Burnside, Bob Russo, etc. etc.

I can work with it. I doubt I'll really reference it at all but if I do it'll be in passing. Mace as a "part time" Captain America, living as a civilian, whilst intermittently sticking his head above the parapet because the government think the people need it through the Cold War and Simpson as more covert, volatile, one that eventually went all Apocalypse Now whilst deployed in Vietnam. Both swept under the rug by the government and forgotten about in the public consciousness.

It's funny you mention that. A month or two ago I wrote a twelve post arc inspired by Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater whereby Bucky is reawoken and sent into Venezuela where a group called "The Patriots" (comprised of Simpson, Monroe, Walker, Bradley, and Burnside) have holed up and are planning to attack America. He has a little over twenty-four hours to take them all out, deprive them of their nerve agent, and get out unseen.

It was a lot of fun to write.

I will be adding a log of all mentioned NPC's in the characters tab at a certain point. I think it'd help for us to keep track of NPC characters for current and future players.

| Identity |
Namor McKenzie / Namor the First of Atlantis / The Sub-Mariner / Prince Namor / King Namor / 'Avenging Son'

| Origin & Backstory |






| Attributes |
Amphibious/Terrestrial Physiology Adaptation: Namor's body is attuned to underwater conditions, allowing him to withstand freezing temperatures with specialized blood circulation. He also has developed vision to see clearly for long distances and through murky or dark areas.
Namor's cross-breed heritage also means he can survive indefinitely on dry land, though water is occasionally required in medium amounts to sustain him properly.

Superhuman Physiology: As a member of the Homo mermanus race, Namor has increased levels of strength, speed, stamina, agility, reflex and durability. However, Namor's attributes are greater than any other member of his race, perhaps due to his situation as a half-breed or his extended mutant abilities.

Aquatic Augmentation: While in contact with water, Namor experiences increased rates of healing and reaction. His strength reaches its peak in the water, and it is decreased along with his other utilities when on dry land over a period of time.

Temporary Flight: Due to his mutated ankles sporting small wings, Namor can channel his propulsion into greater speeds through the wing's streamlined nature, and in the air he can sustain flight for times comparative to the amount of speed he has built up.

Expert Combatant: Namor has practised immeasurable hours of combat, in both armed and unarmed combat. He is particularly skilled with hand to hand combat and the use of a trident or a spear.

Expert Strategist: After experiencing countless battles from all sorts of creatures, including various forms of combat from humanity's many styles, Namor has developed a skill for strategy and tactics, making him a formidable military commander.

Efficient Leader: Namor has been rigorously trained in diplomacy and leadership skills, as preparation for his assumed position as monarch of the Atlanteans.

| Character Notes |





| Character Goals |
Namor, after being absent for decades from his people, wishes to right all the wrongs inflicted by the weak and angry King Byrrah since Namor's defeat at the hands of Paul Destine. He strives to reclaim his rightful throne and to continue the propitious reign experienced under Thakorr's firm but just hand. He wishes to prove himself as a great leader and military commander to his people, both the common workers and the self-righteous court. He wants to hunt down the accursed wearer of the Serpent Crown and take revenge for all the good people who had died on the day of Atlantis' destruction, and to remove Byrrah from his position - by any means necessary. He holds it as important to prevent humanity from further polluting the oceans, whether by force or preferably diplomacy - for he is not so consumed by anger that he thinks he can destroy an entire race to stop their foolish advances. However, he still despises the humans, whom he looks on with disdain and rage, and if any evil infringes upon his territory then he will see it as a priority to attack it. He wishes to find love, and perhaps to start a family, if only to make up for the decades lost living as an amnesiac in the dregs of society. Most importantly, he wants to make his people content with their lives, and to establish a working system and a magnificent Kingdom in the form of New Atlantis.

HYDRA was the primary reason for Namor's joining of the so-called 'Invaders' , led by a soldier named James Barnes


This was redacted and changed to Jeffery Mace.

I'd like to read it in detail beyond that, which would be a lot easier if you formatted it like other CS's (aka hit the enter button more because it all reads like a giant wall of text and hurts my old eyes).

I have hair follicles older than that.

No problem, I'll get right on this.

EDIT: Done, hopefully it is now acceptable to your weak old eyes.

It's Metal Gear Solid. You'll be able to write at least five posts during the cut scenes you'll have to sit through before you can actually start the game.

Hey, those cutscenes are very important. I need to know how Quiet breathes through her skin to explain why she goes into a war-zone in a bikini.

My name's John Constantine, and here I stay: haunted by London. And London, haunted by me.



| Identity |
John Constantine
A.K.A Hellblazer

| Origin & Backstory |




| Attributes |
  • High intelligence
  • Tremendous cunning
  • Deep knowledge of the magical arts
  • Strong magical prowess
  • Demonic Blood slows down aging

| Character Notes |




| Character Goals |
First of all Vertigo totally counts as DC right? Since nowadays they all have been thrown into the DC unviese anyway and with all the crossovers and such. Anyway where do I begin with John Constantine expect for that the fact that while other kids were reading Batman and marvel comics I was reading Hellblazer. John Constantine is a fascinating character not just because of how fun he is to write in his snippy, sarcastic style or the complex jigsaw puzzles of story arcs that he goes through. The reason I think he is one of the best characters in print is because of how human he is in his actions. Despite being able to out debate God and swindle demons out of immortality, he is always at the end of the day reminded that he is human. He is haunted by his mistakes like any other person and can't catch a break. While everybody else gets closure and gets to move on with their life not John he has to keep on fighting, keep on getting dragged into whatever circumstance is thrown his way.

I would like to examine that part of him a little bit more, there is this year gap upon which he just vanishes from the face of the Earth after the Rosacarnis arc. We presume he wanders and goes soul searching for a bit but we never really see what happens. I would like to explore that gap and maybe evolve the story a little bit more from there. The idea of showing how his guilt affects him and how he overcomes that and maybe helps some others along the way. Because in a world of supermen John Constantine is very much just a normal bloke who happens to be able to do some magic and that I find is pretty cool. So I think I'll be able to keep up with posting because exploring this character and seeing how everybody else explores their own characters, seems like one hell of a ride that I wouldn't mind hopping onto.

I suppose I’m not sure exactly what you mean. Do you mean giving or receiving? The way I’ve always done it back when I was a player was to learn off Byrd Man, Eddie Brock, Bounce, Morden Man (Union Jack), and Master Bruce’s posts by reading them and trying to get a similar voice as they had. I asked a few of them through private messages about specific advice and tips which worked out swimmingly for me. Though I obviously still have problems myself (my White Tiger post has some run-on’s and fluidity of written language issues for example). I love doing these games because I keep constantly learning whilst having fun.

Looks rather excellent with only minor hiccup. I intend to work with Zatanna as well and she is mentioned in the Batsheet as a past encounter as well has a working relationship with Bruce. But you mention meeting her in 1977 which would make her way older than Bruce which makes a bit of the backstory I had in mind (as well as future stories) a bit wonky. If it is not too much to ask, could Constanine instead met Zatanna around 1997-2000?
