Yeah that doesn't appeal to me. I'll be going now.

Anything Goes (Remake)

Stan sat still in his chair, his eyes a misty color, almost as if he was blind. However, he was anything but. His sixth sense took a lot of concentration, but it allowed him more sight than most people had. As he was browsing the futures, looking for any threats against his life. He stopped suddenly. A very distinct person was before him. They were chatting, but it didn't look like they were in a good place. It looked like a woman, but she had blue skin, white hair, and strange ears that appeared to be that of a cats. and Stan cursed inside his mind, further exploring that timeline. His guard awoke him from his mental slumber later, at the scheduled time. Stan looked at him for a solid thirty seconds. "I need you to find someone for me."

Stan looked through the business data records, his guards watching the entrance. A knocking came at the door. The guards turned to their boss. Stan's eyes narrowed, as he drew his handgun. He gestured to his guards to open the door. "Do it. Be on guard." They aimed their rifles as they hit the 'OPEN' button. A masked man and three comrades entered, firing rounds into both of the guards. They didn't stand a chance, collapsing as their tensing fingers released a couple of shots into the ceiling. Stan intially panicked, but released they hadn't come here to kill him or to rob him. The lead killer held up a note. It read, in letters cut from a magazine (Stan almost laughed. So stereotypical.) 'The Suit must end.'

Stan watched in terror as the men backed away, with one finger pressed to their lips. Stan, with a shaking hand, raised his walkie talkie. "Rodriguez. What the fuck happened?" A puzzled response crackled from the walkie talkie. "What do you mean, sir?" Stan sighed. "Raise security to level 3 priority." He spent four hours that night worrying in the living room of his penthouse as he let the family of the guards know of their demise and arranging for a severance package to be sent. He finally went to bed, sleeping untroubled despite the void growing inside him. The next day, he made himself look extra presentable. The intelligence officers had found the woman he had seen in his future.

As he left via a hover car, he descended onto the top of a building, finding the one he had been searching for sitting motionless. Stan cleared his throat. "Hello. I'm Stan McBride Jr." He wondered if she had heard of him from the news or from the tabloid magazines he was often featured in. Those interviews were such a drag. "This may sound strange, but you were in my future."

Stan

Stanford McBride Jr.

Age: 19 years old

History/Background: Stan was born into a rich family. His father was a very successful architect who was famous for redesigning the new Smithsonian museums, 'blending old and new into a spectacular learning adventure'. As if. Stan never considered architecture, despite his natural aptitude at art and sketching. Instead he was driven by his passion to become an artist, which his parents never supported. As the only child, he was the heir to McBride Associates Architecture, and all of the responsibilities that came with it. More and more his father tried to restrict his freedom, and more and more Stan rebelled. Eventually it all culminated in one fateful night. Stan was having an argument with his father, which was plenty normal. But it went a little too far. Stan's father, without thinking, hit his son. Stan went to school the next day wearing shades. After this his father found that he had liked the release, and began to do it regularly. Stan started to go to school with long sleeves. The beatings grew in intensity, until Stan snapped. His father had beaten him so badly that Stan retrieved his father's handgun (that he used for intruders and emergencies) and shot him 3 times in the chest. He came out of his rage quickly and looked on in horror at what he had done. Thankfully, the night he committed this crime, all hell broke loose.

Anything Goes (Remake)

Stan looked out of his penthouse window as the news played on his large 52 inch flat screen TV. The news reporter was going over the various crimes stopped by heroes. He turned in surprise when they began to talk about The Suit's actions. "Recently, a vigilante calling themselves 'The Suit' has taken matters into their own hands, eliminating corruption in the Skyline's elite. The police are launching an official investigation, but right now have no leads. They suspect someone in the lower levels who has gained access to the Skyline. Many CEOs and businessmen are fearing for their safety, but the police assure them that they are no threat. The only question is if anyone believes that." Stan let out a little chuckle. He chuckled, pulling out his walkie talkie. "Rodriguez. O'Brien. I need you both to accompany me to my meeting with Jonathan Granson. Bring pistols that you can keep hidden."

Stan waited a bit until a reply crackled out from the walkie. "Yes sir." He clipped his handgun into its holster and smoothed back his hair. Stan straightened his tie and looked in the mirror. Heavy bags hung under his eyes. He ignored them and walked out of his room. When he met his guards outside, he gestured to the hovercar that waited for them all. He entered, putting on his gloves to prevent incrimination. The flight would be 30 minutes, and so he took that time to look into the future. In most of the timelines, Jonathan had four guards. Stan could easily dispatch all with his two guards, so long as they acted with the element of surprise.

When they arrived, his guards had to slap him to get him out of his stupor. Stan had given him these instructions and was fine with it. They stepped onto the loading dock as the doors opened. Stan and his escorts stepped in. Stan waved at the four guards in the room with Jonathan. "I see you prepare well." Jonathan nodded. Stan was disgusted at the amount of women in skimpy clothing surrounding the short man and his greased back hair. However, he kept it under control. Jonathan nodded at Stan. "You always were like your father. A businessman at heart." Stan almost gagged, but calmed down. "You know Jonathan, I've received a disturbing amount of reports that you've been dealing with some...unsavory types. At first, I assured myself they were all rumors. But then I saw some security footage. You had, believe it or not, a large amount of drugs. And, color me surprised, but," Jonathan's eyes darted around now. He knew something was up. "You were selling it to people who were poor, who had no fun, and they had no choice but to buy your drugs. I just can't allow that, now can I?" Stan gestured to his guards, who quickly whipped out their pistols.

They proceeded to execute every one of Jonathan's guards. Stan smirked at Jonathan. "W-Why are you doing this?" His grin disappeared. "I'm doing it for the people that can't." He threw a punch at Jonathan. Jonathan wasn't expecting it, and took the full force of the blow. He fell down, sobbing. "Please don't hurt me!" Stan looked around at the women who were cowering behind tables and couches. "Remember the name, but not the face. I am the Suit, and I will not stand for corruption in our city. If I hear a peep out of any of you about what I look like, I will hunt you down too. I am here to help. Remember this." A shot rang out that night. One hour later, all traces of conflict were gone, and Stan was a happy man. Until he had to hunt again the next night, that was.

Name

Stanford McBride Jr.

Alias

The Suit

Age

19

Gender

Male

Species

Human

Appearance

Stan weighs in at 120 pounds, a little below average for someone of his age. He's 5'9, but seems much taller when you're having a conversation with someone of his social standing. Stan has lean muscles that are deceptively hidden beneath his suit jackets, dress shirts and slacks. He prefers to wear suits at all times, except for sleep. Most of them have a lack of color, ranging from white to black.

Personality

Stan is extremely depressed. After he murdered his father, he's spent all this time repenting for his sin. He payed off the police force to ignore the murder and so he hunts for anyone corrupt in both the Skyline and below. He can be very thoughtful and sympathetic but he's also able to flip the switch to intimidating and threatening in a second. He fears that no matter how much corruption his removes, the growing void he feels will never fill. The darkness he surrounds himself in threatens to consume him every day, and he has to keep himself helping others to persuade himself that he can be redeemed.

Power

Seer - Stan can see the future. Well, sorta. He can see all the possible timelines, without knowing which action could change and put them into a different timeline. Stan doesn't even know what timeline he's in, so he just goes by which are the most likely.

Downsides - Whenever Stan tries to see the future, he goes into a sort of trance for hours, exploring possibilities and it's very difficult for him to remove himself. Sustaining damage from others is usually the best way to do it.

Skills

IQ - Stan has a genius-level intellect, allowing him to engineer new technology and finding the best way to keep his dead father's business afloat.

Boxing - Stan is a renowned lightweight boxer, despite barely anyone knowing about his skills in fighting. He keeps this to himself. With the crime surrounding the lower levels, he believes it will come in handy.

Stamina - Stan is a master of endurance. He knows how to keep his stamina up in fights or while exercising.

Handguns - Stan always brings his handgun with him to meetings with crime bosses and the corrupt. Normally, he gets his private security force to eliminate them but sometimes he finishes the deed.

Other

Stan snapped one night after a harsh beating, murdering his father and covering up the crime, bribing the police force until he could get away with it. He never meant to, but he couldn't control his anger. He now seeks justice.

He donates money to charities and people in need whenever he can afford it.
