Current
A Perpetual Motion Engine of Anxiety and Self-Loathing
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.

________________________________________________________________________________________ WHAT IF THE SUPER SOLDIER SERUM CHANGED HOW BIOCHEMISTRY WAS VIEWED BY THE PUBLIC INDELIBLY?
Rick Tyler is the grandson of the original JSA Hero Hourman.
This present JSA is comprised of legacies (and potentially small cameo appearances by...) the original WWII and beyond era team.
It was an "open secret" that the original Hourman was Rex Tyler.
He very much enjoyed the his playboy superstardom and lifestyle that was afforded to him as a highly prominent wartime chemist and moonlighting hero.
Actions have consequences.
P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S )
I'll be fleshing out the modern JSA. There'll be flashbacks to ye olde JSA. And connections in between.
The listed modern JSA is not the full squad. There were also a few extra members post-WWII in the old JSA (Yes. Even more than that bloated monstrosity of a team list on the left).
If anyone wants to play any character listed, whether they want anything to do with what I'm doing or not, just give me a heads up. I'm very flexible to change, I mainly just want to know that I can depend on the set characters I have in mind being there ONCE THE IC ACTUALLY GOES UP and I start to solidify the backstory stuff in my mind.
Plot names and descriptions will be added here as things solidify.
H O U R M A N F A M I L Y H I S T O R Y H O U R M A N F A M I L Y H I S T O R Y
As World War II waged on, and the United States joined the front after the events of Pearl Harbour, all hands were on the task of the war effort, looking for whatever edge they could provide.
The SSR's "Super Soldier Program", headed by Doctor Abraham Erskine sought to create a new breed of super soldiers, altering a man's fundamental makeup through a thorough precise combination of vita rays and a chemical serum.
Elsewhere private industries such as Bannerman Chemical put their efforts to similar minded projects. Government grants and exemptions from the draft were issued to these frontline scientists. The scientific frontier became possibly the most important frontier in this global war, but not the only one the increasingly desperate Nazi leadership sought.
A young chemist with an adventurous streak, Rex Tyler, developed a new drug compound which he named Miraclo. The drug would never be announced nor patented however, as Rex (who's brash adventurous streak saw him test the drug on himself, in the rush to discovery in the hyper competitive market environment) was shocked at the effect of the drug which saw possibly even more dramatic effects to the user's strength and durability than even Erskine's method - albeit under more temporary and volatile conditions.
But his adventurous streak also saw him put his discovery to an alternate use...
Rex Tyler scrapped that method as a public project, but began on others. Developing more effective sulfa tablets for frontline medical use, 'stimulant' pills to contend with Nazis recent innovation of amphetamine usage, gas decontamination pills (which when news of their discovery was leaked, and their effects embellished, became a key propaganda tool in lessening German use of chlorine and mustard gas compared with the first World War.
During this time, an assortment of strange and mysterious figures put their lives and abilities on the line to protect the Homefront from fifth columnists, Nazi saboteurs and a new breed of strange and creepy ne'erdowells that seemed to be cropping up in these trying times. A silhouette seen disappearing in plumes of gas, a man faster than you could imagine, rings and rods of power... joined by a man capable of immense strength and power, for an hour at a time.
And in the other twenty-three hours, Rex Tyler became a major scientific figure for the era, and with so many able bodied men overseas at war, was one of the most eligible bachelors remaining on American soil. He frequently travelled between New York and California, where between talks at USC, CalTech and UCLA universities he'd often be seen on the red carpet at some rising starlet's arm or another in the Golden Age of Hollywood.
It became an open secret that Rex Tyler, whose movements and schedule seemed to match those of the Hourman, and had taken to being introduced as 'The Man Of The Hour' at social gatherings and soirees held in both New York and California, as he revelled in the notoriety and lifestyle which it had brought him.
Until questions began to get raised about why these fit, fighting men were being kept at home, whilst so many of the boys were dying on foreign shores. Were these men draft dodgers? There was some speculation that these questions were being pushed by the lead industry, as Rex had raised concerns about the widespread use of lead in paint and even petroleum in university lectures.
Eager to not be seen as cowardly men, it was Rex Tyler and the Atom, Al Pratt, who were most ardent that the group take their talents to the Front.
First the government tried to claim Miraclo for their own purposes, but were satistfactorily chastened after a demonstration of what just six men on the chemical compound were capable of, and a stern lecture from the Man of the Hour that the biggest threat to freedom wasn't that the drug not be introduced to the war effort... but rather if it should somehow find its way into the wrong hands and be reverse engineered, with the German's ability to mass produce pharmaceuticals... and what of Russia afterwards? At this point they already had a significant numbers advantage and were steadily encroaching upon Berlin.
But there was still a task that these fine young men and women of the JSA would be able to lend their skills to...
That other desperate frontier that the Nazis sought to exploit was the occult. Whether it had actual merit, or if it would merely make a fine propaganda boon to crush the faint hopes of the Nazis, there was a mission for this group of men and women who had begun to be known as part of the wider Justice Society of America.
Whilst the Howling Commandos and other Allied troops were steadily marching towards Berlin, the Nazis were making a desperate grab for an artefact that was known as the Spear of Destiny. An item that reportedly could imbue invincibility upon its wielder.
The JSA were put to task and whisked to Scandinavia in a race for the object.
In which they were victorious.
The hopes of the hun were squashed. The fine Allied men continued their march on Berlin unabated and victory was won.
And Rex's playboy lifestyle went into overdrive...
In 1960, young Austin Tyler, born to stage actress Wendi Harris would grow to barely know his father.
And when he was old enough to, he wouldn't want to. He'd seen enough.
An absent father who was all about his own selfish drive for adventure and the frivolity which came with such a life.
He took the scraps he was left with... the name of being his father's son, to the University scene where hard work and another powerful drive, albeit focused on other things than his playboy father, would see him pick up a doctorate in chemistry and degrees in business management.
Through shrewd investment and a network of subsidiaries he would seize the board and ownership of Bannerman Chemical, and renamed it TylerCo Petrochemical and Pharmaceuticals. A feat his father would never achieve. He gave a lengthy speach before the media about how his father had worked there, how his devotion to the work and his country had forged this post-war nation, and a bunch of other crap he didn't really mean nor care for.
He was forging his own path. This was his hour. And he would use it to accomplish that which his father never could, nor even had the sense or drive to.
In early 2000, Richard Tyler was born to Austin and Janice Tyler.
Austin attempted to push his son into the family business, but like father like son, Richard Tyler rejected that plan. Going so far as to flunk out of high school chemistry after two different incidents involving an explosion, and the creation of chlorine gas. The following donation to the high school Science department was appreciated but still insufficient.
Richard goes by the monosyllabic 'Rick', which is far too close to 'Rex' for his father's comfort.
He's a talented young artist, but a self-professed 'beach bum'. He's often found at a beachside shack left for him by the grandfather he never met, now long deceased, with some co-ed or another. Much to his father's chagrin or horror.

"Vanyssa Newhope" has no idea about how she came to be here, or the fact that she had previously been in a coma in the Mayo Clinic Hospital-St Mary's Campus in Rochester, Minnesota.
Her past is unknown to herself, or the rest of the facility.
For some reason, being brought through to the Aegis facility by Wynd (Poe) has caused something in her to 'snap to' and bring her out of her previous comatose state.
She's certain she has some kind of deeper, more meaningful purpose, but has no memory or basis for this belief. As such, she's quite taciturn, not knowing who to trust or who may actually be at odds with this great and glorious unknown purpose.

//ABILITIES:
◼ Temporal Manipulation |"Tachyon" can move independently through time to some degree, and have the rate of time seem to slow or speed up around her. In some ways making her much akin to a speedster, but with various different subtleties which will become apparent throughout.
//SKILLS:
◼ Martial Arts |For some reason, Vanyssa is a highly competent, previously well-trained close-combat fighter. Capable of quickly and devastatingly bringing down opponents which would seem beyond her small frame.
//LIMITATIONS:
◼ Personal contact |Whilst Vanyssa can manipulate time around herself, physical contact with another seems to prevent her from properly using her powers. Her powers attempt to extend to both herself and whoever she is in contact with, which given her small stature is a strain she normally can't overcome (with great exertion she may be able to if carrying something/someone small like an infant or puppy).
◼ Muscular atrophy (temporary) |Vanyssa has, until recently, been in a coma at a Hospital. Due to this her muscular strength is not what it usually would be.
//WEAKNESSES:
◼ Amnesia |Vanyssa awoke when she was brought into the facility, but seems to have no memory of anything leading up to her arrival. Including her time in hospital. Her name and personal details are only known through identification cards found on her person, and the wristband attached by the Hospital.

◼ Strange Clothes |Having arrived in unique style with little in the way of possessions, she was provided with clothes by Aegis. The clothes that she was wearing on arrival do appear strange, and whilst somewhat clinical looking in appearance they clearly were not provided by the Hospital she came from.
Her entry will be in the same upcoming post as @Roman's Wynd, @Kuro's Bumblebee, @OldManMountain's new upcoming character (assuming they still want in) and @Mintz's Moth Man.
I'm working afternoons this week, and I'll make a decent sized dent in this upcoming entry post tomorrow, as well as do some legwork finding out who's still on board (and requesting pieces from the previous people to come up with this post.
Looking to see if I can get an application sheet from @OldManMountain pretty soon too.
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.
