Bio

So there I am, in Sri Lanka, formerly Ceylon, at about 3 o'clock in the morning, looking for one thousand brown M&Ms to fill a brandy glass, or Ozzy wouldn't go on stage that night. So, Jeff Beck pops his head 'round the door, and mentions there's a little sweets shop on the edge of town. So - we go. And - it's closed. So there's me, and Keith Moon, and David Crosby, breaking into that little sweets shop, eh. Well, instead of a guard dog, they've got this bloody great big Bengal tiger. I managed to take out the tiger with a can of mace, but the shopowner and his son... that's a different story altogether. I had to beat them to death with their own shoes. Nasty business, really. But, sure enough, I got the M&Ms, and Ozzy went on stage and did a great show.

I've been busy during the day...

...but I'm also switching my body clock over to nights, so I'm going to fire into this (as well as a few other places) tonight whilst everyone else in the house is asleep.
Kali: *doesn't trust Lincoln enough to reveal her name* I'm Lianne.

Varo: Hey Kali.

It could've been worse. It could've been for some really petty reason.

Gods and Fates be petty, yo.

...frankly, video recording a girl who turned out to be the Triple Goddess on a sabbatical "communing with humanity" and getting exploited... that'd probably do it.
@Lord Wraith I'm trying to think of what would be funniest:

Connor trying to burn the tower down and failing because he doesn't understand that a skyscraper is made of concrete and metal, which don't burn.

Connor successfully burning down the tower because it was made of cheap, out of code materials.

Connor crashing a plane into the tower.


Julian did use free superhero based labour...

Another crooked Luthor real estate mogul.

...yes, I don't care that I've made that joke before, it's been two years.
Essence dominated the speedster, trapping him in another dimension.


Hillan over here throwing Shade...
Banjo dropped legal knowledge so hard he won the whole RP...
Atomic Skull’s flames burnt so hot that the ring melted


Yeah, I think I ate there once...
I will say, I intend to (unless overruled by our Emperor) maybe do a villain of the week style scenario if things ever enter a lull.

But the main plot is really the team coming back together/actually becoming a team


All good with me, I brought my own potato salad in case there wasn't food at this shindig. But I can always hold it off for centralised plots.
Excited to see what you come up with for Kali, and glad to see this make a resurgance.
<Snipped quote by Hound55>

Kali's a dropout so they probably have the same views on formal education, but still seeing the value in knowledge and always learning and growing. I could see her picking up any languages she doesn't know from him.

And since Kali's been in an all girls' school and traveling the world with mercenaries and assassins during her puberty and hormonal development I could see her and Red giving into physical desires once they started training together, but it never went anywhere further than that romantically. Since she'd see him as a friend, but also someone that could keep up with her in every way.

Edit: I forgot the most important. I can see them initially connecting and really bonding over being kindred spirits with not wanting to be like their fathers.


That works well, and would probably have helped Red figure some things out in terms of his rampaging hormones. Since two years ago we saw him very much at the whim of them, without understanding why - whilst simultaneously being intelligent and informed enough on biology to have a theoretical understanding of hormones and puberty on a conceptual level. He just had no experience to connect his theoretical understanding to the practical.

In other words, it'd have him realise why he was getting distracted all the time when female teammates (it hadn't even clicked with him that it happened to be the female teammates) would enter the room. And understanding and recognising what's happening is most of the battle... he's smart enough once that connection happens.

His view towards his father is complex. He never met or knew him, and because of that he wonders often whether his father actually had a point or solid reasoning for his issues with the Justice League. He asks his brother a lot of questions about him. But at the same time, he WANTS to do good himself, and shaves often because a moustache keeps growing through and makes him look very much like the man.

In summary, he doesn't know his father well enough to know for a fact that he WAS evil, but he knows that he himself wants to be good. And he's wary of being perceived of being someone others might think of as being evil.
