Martian

Star Wars: Raptor Squadron

Mar wasn’t surprised by the Commander’s explanation of the Imperial defences. With how long he had been a part of the Rebellion Mar was quite accustomed to seeing TIE Fighters and turbolasers. Of course this would be his first time encountering them directly, as Mar wondered how he would fair while being in a fighter and not the relative safety of a heavy cruiser. Mar’s ears twitched as feelings of both trepidation and giddiness flowed through his body.

Once the briefing finished Mar got up quickly, going over the mission parameters several times in his head. It seemed like a simple smash and grab, get in and out before they could call for help. As Mar left the command room he realized he wasn’t aware where the communications relay was placed aboard an Imperial Hub Station. Mar quickly ducked into a side corridor and began fiddling with his HoloLens. Inputing a quick search of the Courageous’ databanks brought up a schematic of a Hub Station, though it seemed to be a few years out of date. But Mar viewed it better than nothing, so he quickly tried to memorize as much of it as he could in the few free minutes he had before the mission.

After being relatively confident that he had retained the gist of the designs he quickly popped into his quarters to deposit his HoloLens. While this would be his first combat mission, Mar had found that while using the simulator that the HoloLens was too great a distraction while piloting. Mar put the HoloLens down on his nightstand, then proceeded to grab his flight suit. Upon putting it on Mar felt powerful, more so than he had in a long time. He hoped that the feeling would follow him onto the mission, as he left his quarters and begin walking toward the hangar.

@BrutalBx
So I had to scrap my first character concept upon seeing your character's powers, he would of have crystal generation and control, as to not double up. Anyways I like the new concept better than the previous one as it is a little bit crazier. The character sheet is mostly done, I just need to finish the history. Expect the completed sheet tomorrow.

EDIT:
Finished the character sheet. Here it is.

~—*—~

Abilities:
Leo has the ability to reduce himself down to a primitive form of life, appearing as a mass of protoplasmic goo. While in this form he retains his mental functions and intelligence, though he is not able to communicate as he is a pile of goo. Some of the aspects of this power are as follows:
- Goo like properties: While in this form Leo can attach himself to any material, scale any height, or fit into any size space. The goo is naturally fluid, as most objects will just pass through it, though if Leo focuses he can make the goo incredibly solid and durable. As such it is very hard to damage this form, but high energy attacks will do damage. In the future, Leo may be able to split the blob, maintaining mental control of all pieces.
- Tool creation: Leo has started to learn how to shape the goo into basic shapes and tools. So far he can form fists, hooks, shields, and simple blades. With future training, Leo may form more complex items, or even transform part of his body into a tool without fully turning into the blob form.
- Side effects of transformation: While Leo is in blob form, he internally heals whatever physical damage he has taken in human form. The reverse is true as the longer Leo stays in blob form, the more it messes with his mental functions in human form. Since Leo became aware of this he has feared staying in goo form for too long, lest risk permanent psychological damage.

History:
Lionel Sinclair was born in Chicago, Illinois, the only child of Jeffrey Sinclair, a police officer, and Amanda Sinclair, a famous Native American novelist. Living in the fifth largest city in North America, Lionel was always used to being in a very large, metropolitan area. Growing up his father always talked about returning to a small town, but Lionel never saw the appeal. In his youth, Lionel would make all kinds of friends, from many different ethnicities and backgrounds. Due to this Lionel was exposed to many ideas and concepts that he may of never heard of in a small town. It was when learning about the LGBT community as a young child that he first heard the term asexual. At first he thought it impossible, that was until he started puberty and realized he was not being drawn to anyone in that way. For the time, Lionel decided to keep this fact to himself.

Another big part of Lionel’s life growing up was Desmond, his father’s police dog. While trained to take down criminals, Desmond was very affectionate around Lionel. In his early teens Lionel would get much comfort from Desmond as his parents fought in the other room. Jeffrey Sinclair had a gambling problem that would flare up occasionally, as he would lose thousands of dollars in one night. Seeing how this affected his family would turn Lionel permanently off gambling, not even buying scratch tickets. By the age of fifteen Lionel’s parents would separate for the first time.

This was a very hard time for Lionel as he felt he had no direction. While in this dark period, Lionel would discover the hero fandom online. Soon, Lionel began to idolize the various superheroes of America, but most notably those of New York City. Lionel decided on two things that day; to move to New York, and to help people for a living. To that end he began taking courses in high school that would lead to him becoming a doctor. It was also around this time that Lionel’s parents got back together. Things were really good for the Sinclair family for a while.

The start of Lionel’s senior year of high school was rocked by the news that his dog Desmond had cancer. In the few months they had before Desmond died, Lionel spent as much time as he could with him. That brought some small comfort to Lionel on the day he died. After a period of grief for his longtime companion, Lionel decided to become a veterinarian. He would shortly apply to Empire State University, and would ultimately be accepted. So, Lionel packed up his things, said goodbye to his family, and moved into a dorm on campus.

Lionel would initially have some problems adjusting to a university schedule, with so much new independence and personal responsibility. By the time he finished his first year Lionel was doing well, confident in his studies. Then the pandemic hit and classes were cancelled. With the dorms closed Lionel thought of moving back in with his parents, only to learn that they had separated again. Instead of going back to Chicago, Lionel was able to find himself a micro apartment in New York. It was there that he would weather out the pandemic, doing some online classes when available.

Once the all clear was given, Lionel was very happy to leave his apartment. One of the first things he did was get a part time job at a pet shop, as to pay off the debt generated while quarantining. The day he was supposed to start was the same day the Terrigen storm happened. Lionel found himself in a cocoon, as time lost meaning to him. He would emerge three days later, his body aching and his mind fuzzy. While stumbling down the street, Lionel would collapse into a pile of goo, falling down a storm drain. He would stay in the sewers for a few minutes before he was able to force himself back into human form. Lionel would keep this transformation secret, pretending like nothing happened. He would go to work at the pet shop, using the Terrigen storm as an excuse for missing his first day, and would be ready to go back to school once the semester began.

Note:
Lionel’s clothes become a part of the goo while transforming. While returning to human form the clothes reform.

Star Wars: Raptor Squadron

Mar’s ears twitched slightly as he took in the mission orders. He had assumed that the Rebel Alliance was in a slightly better state than the CO alluded to, but then again he had only been on the fringes of the Battle of Hoth. Either way, this planned assault struck Mar as very brazen and desperate. But then again Mar was just a pilot, and a rookie one at that. He didn’t think it appropriate to voice disagreement with the plans of Command. This would be Mar’s first mission, and he figured he was only expected to fight and survive. After all, that’s all that the Rebellion could hope to do.

As Mar went over the mission in his head, the wolf lady next to him asked a question. Mar had been unaware that there was a U-Wing in the Squadron. It the occurred to him that he didn’t know any of the craft used in the Squadron, save his Fang fighter. In fact there was a lot that Mar didn’t know about what he had to do as a starfighter pilot. With how fast they had made him a pilot after Hoth, Mar hadn’t really gotten a chance to do an orientation or any kind of training.

A wave of anxiety passed over Mar as he felt greatly unqualified for this mission. But he also realized that there was no one else to do the mission. Mar gulped and straightened his ears has he took control of his nerves, focusing on what needed to be done.

With his mind back on the operation, Mar asked, “Sir, what kind of resistance are we expecting at the Station?”

Marvel’s NuHumans -

Thanks for the quick answer. Currently formulating a character in my mind.

Formerly Speedy, currently Arsenal
Age:
25

While a baseline human, Roy is in excellent physical condition, comparable to Olympic level athletes. He is also a master with a bow and arrow, and highly proficient with most projectile or martial art weapons. He also knows Moo Gi Gong, an obscure martial art that turns everyday objects into a weapon, as well as many other martial arts. Roy always have his bow and arrows on him, with several arrows being various utility and trick arrows. He is also armed with a retractable staff, throwing knives, bolas, and a boomerang. Roy’s hero suit is made of highly durable Kevlar, and can unleash an electrical charge if an attempt is made to remove it.
Weaknesses:
Roy is a baseline human and as such can be killed in any way anyone else could. This includes bullets, blunt force, energy attacks, or toxins. Roy is also mentally susceptible as he struggles with drug use, depression, and anger issues.
Personality:
Impulsive, Focused, Flirtatious, Vengeful, Loyal
Appearance:


BRIEF Bio:
Roy didn’t know his parents as a child. He was raised in foster homes around the Star City area, never really connecting with anyone. That changed when a new foster father let Roy try archery. Roy excelled at the sport, becoming one of the best archers in the world for his age group. It was around this time that the vigilante Green Arrow began appearing. Roy was immediately captivated, even creating his own costume. Then one night, when Green Arrow was surrounding by mobsters, Roy intervened in his suit. Green Arrow was impressed, allowing Roy to become his sidekick Speedy.

Roy would work with Green Arrow for a few years, interacting with other heroes like the Teen Titans, a group he helped form. However, injuries from a battle would cause Roy to start taking painkillers, which then led to eventual heroin use. When Green Arrow discovered this he was furious and forced Roy to quit being Speedy. No longer a hero, Roy quit the Teen Titans, falling into a depression. He might have died if not for the aid of Black Canary, who helped him get clean. Shortly after this, Roy accepted a job as a secret agent for the US government. It was while on this job that he met the assassin Cheshire. They would quickly start a very destructive relationship, one that led Roy back to drugs. When his superiors learnt of the relationship and drug use they fired Roy.

Roy would fall in and out of drug use for a year, living in Star City. That was until he was approached by Cheshire’s sister who revealed that Cheshire and him had a daughter, and that Cheshire was dead. Roy was made the sole parent of his daughter Lian, which prompted him to seriously try to get sober. With the help of other heroes like Superman and the Teen Titans, Roy finally got clean, and moved to Metropolis with Lian. After Superman died, Roy felt that he should honour his memory, taking up the identity of Arsenal.

Potential Storylines:
Possible drug relapse. Struggles of being a single father. Cheshire not actually being dead. Trying to fix his relationship with Green Arrow. The US government being aware of his identity and use it against him. Connecting with former Teen Titans teammates. Flirting and new romances.
Notes:
Credit for the appearance image goes to this site. I slightly altered the image.

Interested. Are mutants a thing in this world? Just wondering for backstory elements, still would play a NuHuman.

Star Wars: Raptor Squadron

As Mar made his way through the corridors of the Courageous, he was amazed at how different it was in layout to the Valorous, the previous ship he was stationed on. Fortunately on his first day, Mar had managed to procure a file of the ship’s layout for his HoloLens. In the few days since then Mar had decided to explore most of the ship, mapping it out in his mind in case something ever went wrong with his HoloLens.

Mar’s train of thought was interrupted when an alert appeared on his HoloLens. It was a reminder that he had a meeting in the ready-room. Mar dismissed the alert as he turned back toward the hallway that led to the meeting room. Mar was still getting used to the notion that he was an actual pilot, one that actually went into battle. For so long he had just been a mechanic, just fixing things and not doing things. The weight of that responsibility weighed heavily on Mar’s shoulders as he entered the ready-room, but with a quick breath he regained control of his mind.

As Mar looked for a seat he looked over the varied visages of the pilots assembled. Mar had not actually met anyone in this Raptor Squadron that he was now a part of, not even the CO who stood next to the holo-projector. Mar decided to sit next to the wolf lady, who was of a race he didn’t know the name, giving her a quick nod before turning back to the CO. Mar’s ears twitched with excitements in anticipation of the possible mission.

History:
Born to a working family on the planet of Isobe during the twilight years of the Old Republic, all Mar knew in his first years was peace. There had not been a major war in hundreds of years and his home was very rich from the sale of the naturally occurring Tynzo crystals. Growing up, Mar was fascinated with the stories of Jedi and other warrior heroes, like the Mandalorians, viewing them as the most interesting thing in the galaxy. Mar probably spent too much time dreaming about them as he had problems in school. However, when Mar was seven, the galaxy was changed when the invasion of Naboo happened. Though it was quickly resolved, the event captured Mar’s imagination. He became obsessed with starfighters, deciding to focus his education on them.

As Mar got older he found employment making repairs on Sephi flyer craft. During this time Mar tried learning to pilot a flyer, but quickly became discouraged when he crashed it on his first try. Mar decided to focus on repairing craft for now, as he knew that was something he was good at. He did this until the Clone Wars broke out. With a war to supply, most jobs on Isobe became involved with the production of Tynzo crystals, which were needed in the construction of starcraft. With no employment available anymore in his field, Mar made the decision to leave Isobe. He drifted around for a few months before finding employment at the Kuat starship yard. Mar remained there for most of the war, feeling safe in the Core Worlds. That changed when Coruscant was attacked and the Supreme Chancellor taken. Fearing for the safety of his family, Mar quit his job and returned to Isobe to be with them. He had only just arrived when the formation of the Empire was announced and the war officially ended.

Like most citizens, Mar rejoiced the end of the war. However, a month later, Mar tried to get his job back at the starship yard, only to learn that under Imperial rule his job was now given to a Human. He was offered a janitorial position, but Mar declined. He then spent a year on Isobe, finding odd jobs. In that time the Empire tightened its grip on the galaxy. Disgusted by this, and how the royal family of Isobe was supporting it, Mar left for the Outer Rim. For the next few years he would be commissioned to fix crafts of various types, including starfighters. Eventually, Mar established a nice life for himself, far from the Empire. But things would not last as the reach of the Empire extended.

Mar would accept a seemingly average job to fix a starfighter. However, he was unaware that the ship belonged to a Rebel operative. When the owner came to retrieve his ship, he was followed by an Imperial intelligence agent. The agent believed that Mar was also a member of the Rebellion, trying to arrest him alongside the rebel. Mar and the rebel fled, but Mar was now officially listed as a rebel by the Empire. With few options available to him, Mar decided to join the Rebellion, becoming a starfighter mechanic.

For about a year, Mar served aboard the Valorous, a rebel cruiser, as chief mechanic. This would change when the battle of Yavin happened. Rumours of a Jedi joining the rebellion made their way around the forces. Reigniting Mar’s love of the Jedi, he was inspired to try piloting again. For the next few years Mar trained in the flight simulator whenever he got a chance. Yet, he never seemed to get good enough to become a pilot. It was also during this period that he recovered a heavily damaged Fang-class fighter. Apparently it had been owned by a Mandalorian Rebel operative, before they died in battle. Mar made it his leisure project, trying to restore it to working order. After many long months the fighter could work once again.

Then the battle of Hoth happened. Mar had been aboard the Valorous when the Imperial forces arrived. The Valorous was subsequently damaged aiding in the evacuation. As the rebel fleet fled, the Valorous attempted to follow. But after a few hyperspace jumps, the engines of the Valorous gave out. With the Imperial fleet not far behind, the Valorous was stripped of anything of worth, including the Fang-class fighter, and loaded onto another ship. By the time the rebel forces could regroup, many pilots had died. With an urgent need for replacement pilots, rebel command finally gave Mar his chance, even assigning him his rebuilt Fang-class fighter.

Appearance:

Mar stands at 5’10’’ and has a thin build. His skin is the same peach tone as most Sephi, as is his blue eyes. His orange-blond hair is kept short so that he doesn’t have to bother with it. Another trait of the Sephi is their pointed ears, but Mar’s are exceptionally long. Mar also keeps his face shaved and has no tattoos. Mar tends to dress for work, meaning he is usually wearing a jumpsuit or a uniform.

The Supermen of America

I'm interested in this. Probably going to play a canon character, but I'm unsure of which. I do have an idea for Roy Harper, as a single dad recovering from drug addiction, or maybe Kaldur'ahm as he tries to become his own hero. Give me a little bit to think about it.
