Suicide Squad: The Graveyard Shift

I'll have a post up tomorrow. Sorry for my inactivity.

Suicide Squad: The Graveyard Shift

Ambush Bug let out a gasp, half surprise, half joy, as he was ambushed. "Ninjas!" he cried gleefully, and assumed a pose he had seen from a martial arts movie. Just as a ninja was upon him he disappeared, and reappeared behind his assailant, karate chopping him in the head. With the advanced suit strength, Ambush Bug's blow left the ninja in a crumpled heap on the ground, either unconscious or dead. "Green beats black! Wataaa!"

Ambush Bug jumped from attacker to attacker, striking various poses and shouting, punching and kicking along the way. One jump however, left him several meters away from the action, where he doubled over momentarily to catch his breath. "Whew. It is not easy to kick this much ass." Rather than jumping back into the fray after catching his breath, Ambush Bug instead took a moment to watch the chaos from relative safety.

Ambush Bug's attention was drawn immediately to the girl on her laptop, and the alien defending her. He was about to move to help the pair when the Russian beat Ambush Bug to the punch, leaping toward the pair.. "Well, I'm not one to let some sore rooskie make me look bad..." he muttered as he teleported near the pair. "Never fear! Ambush Bug is he--" Ambush Bug's words were cut off by a blow to the gut, and he doubled over in pain.

Ambush Bug didn't know why he was on this mission. He didn't particularly care. As long as they didn't nag him to go out and make friends they could have had him running laps around the prison in full scuba gear. He sat through the briefing, half paying attention. Something about Africa, or maybe the Middle East. He was more focused on getting something to eat before leaving for the mission. He took a moment to pay attention to the pictures of the two superhumans displayed on the projector. "Buzz, buzz." Ambush Bug muttered to himself, before his thoughts turned inward again.

His attention was caught when one of his fellow newly initiated squad mates spoke up with a voice like icicles scraping over other icicles. "What an odd choice of dress..." he thought as he eyed the full winter gear the man was wearing, completely ignoring the fact that he himself was dressed up in a garish green and yellow jumpsuit. Ambush Bug considered the eskimo's words, but disregarded them. The choice is die now, or die later, what did it matter?

Ambush Bug stood, and not quite sure what to do after missing most of the briefing, simply followed the others. He tried his best to sleep through most of the travel and prep time. Everything he needed was stuck in his body. Before he knew it, Ambush Bug found himself staring out the back of an open aircraft. Would now be a bad time to mention my fear of heights?" he asked no one in particular, before disappearing in a flash. He reappeared about two meters above the desert sand, and dropped the last few feet to a tumbling fall. "Whew! Good game. Let's go again."

100%. I was just waiting for the IC.

Suicide Squad: The Graveyard Shift

So where does it start? Briefing? Capture? Do our characters know each other yet?

Suicide Squad: The Graveyard Shift

Oh sorry! I was tired and stupid. Glad to be accepted though!

Suicide Squad: The Graveyard Shift

Ambush Bug

Name: Irwin Schwartz

Codename: Ambush Bug

Gender: Male

Age: 22

Source: Alien suit, sent to Earth moments before planet destruction, to preserve future of fashion.

Birthplace: Nebraska, Corn Country (Middle of nowhere)

Affiliation: None

Occupation: Unemployed

Race: Human

Appearance:

Suit does not have the mask, however. Irwin has bright red hair, blue eyes, and a freckled face.

Powers: Suit allows him to teleport, though it's unwieldy at times. He cannot teleport distances above a mile. Suit also provides moderate strength enhancement and protective capabilities. The suit cannot be removed, because the zipper is stuck.

Skills: Advanced knowledge of TV shows, computer games, movie trivia, and Tolkien.

Equipment: Suit.

Weaknesses: Lacks skill in fighting, little to no technical skills, remarkably pale.

Psychological profile: Subject shows extreme lack of focus, possible ADHD hyperactive. Acts on whims, and has little care for the consequences of his actions. Subject also shows little to no restraint when speaking, often making inappropriate and unnecessary comments. However, subject appears marginally willing to cooperate with orders, and is unlikely to rebel or cause permanent harm to Checkmate staff or facilities.

Biography: Irwin was born to an IT professional and a stay at home father in the middle of nowhere Nebraska. He grew up fairly normally, with his only friend being the TV set and the internet. When he turned 18, he got an illustrious job doing nothing in his parent's basement, though he had plans to go to a local community college. These plans, however, changed when he happened upon a strange pod in the side of the road.

Upon donning the suit, Irwin found he had gained incredible powers, which he nearly immediately abused. He ran up the sides of buildings, teleported into strange and stupid places, and generally had all the fun a nobody could have with an alien supersuit. He was captured when he used his suit to break into a government facility, attempting to find a laser gun.

Yeah that's totally fine as long as there's a good reason for him to be there and his reality warping powers don't break the game.

@MrDidact

Well, I wouldn't give him that much power. I'd just say teleportation, and being snarky as all hell. He'd be a very "I'm gonna go and have fun and damn the consequences" type character.

Suicide Squad: The Graveyard Shift

Do you think it would work if I did a version of Ambush Bug?

Suicide Squad: The Graveyard Shift

I'm definitely interested.
