BRIEF Bio -
Jorah is actually the great nephew of former Ghost Rider Johnny Blaze. As a kid he had heard rumors of his relative being the famous motorcycle stuntman, and there were pictures and strange stuff in a locker passed down to Jorah that didn't make much sense. Much of the history of the Heroic Age [2008-2050] was lost but old pictures of Johnny in his old gear and cycle suggest he was either Ghost Rider or another hero called the Blazing Skull.
However Jorah would go on to live a mostly average life growing up in Brooklyn outside of Nueva York. Most of Brooklyn by this point looked like a mix of Midtown with a dash of Downtown here and there. Not as many people as in 'the city'. One night in 2097, Jorah's life would be forever changed after being high on rapture caused him to wreck his hovercar into the side of an electric gas station. An electrical fire erupted and Jorah lost most of his left arm and had scars on a large portion of his back and left thigh.
The court system had mercy on him and only sentenced him to 200 hours community service. During his time picking up litter in Times Square (the only area of Nueva York that's 'Uptown' from street level all the way to the top) he overheard somebody's plan to blow up an Alchemax Lab his friend happened to work at.
Since there were a couple of crappy movies recently about some form of Tron-like Ghost Rider, he chose to go the Blazing Skull route when creating a superhero/vigilante alias. He used some vibranium alloy debris he'd found in downtown areas to fashion armor and combined with electro-magnet powered prosthetics also managed to boost his strength, durability, and speed. Jorah took pride in the design of his hard light projection graphics. He wasn't the greatest artist or tinkerer but he could pull of some pretty legit stuff when he had the drive. In the end he foiled the bombing, but made enemies out of the Public Eye and Alchemax, who blamed Blaze for the botched bombing.
Notes - Might need to polish the CS up a bit later. I'm behind on packing/moving.
Sample Post -
With red and black cybernetics augmenting his attributes, Jorah ran and leaped from building to building until he was in what was once a lot smaller Times Square. It's the Times Square of 2017 to the 10th power. Now with even more lights, flying cars, and completely robot traffic cops. At one point Blaze jumped onto a flying car before leaping onto the side of the MTV skyscraper. The robot traffic cop spotted the fire headed hero as he was attempting to apprehend somebody that looked like they'd stolen a baby from a woman in the Downtown area. The Public Eye was on the scene to make things interesting. More like a bunch of sociopaths with badges and authority nowadays, Blaze took the two out of the air leaping at their sky cycles and ripping at their exterior until they began to descend.
"Where did that guy go?" Blaze asked himself before spotting the guy who took the baby.
Later, on the other side of the city's Downtown area..."I'll keep you safe, you don't have to worry about the bad man..." the young man said to the little girl in the bottom of a rundown old building with most of the windows blown out.
"I just want the kid taken back to his mother... I don't have to give you a beating man..." Blaze said coming out of the shadows and reactivating his fire skull 'mask'.
"She can't protect the baby. I can!" the man in the tattered clothes claimed settling the baby down in an old dresser drawer.
"It's not your call!" Blaze declared dashing forward and kneeing the guy in the abdomen and dropping him.
"You don't understand..." the guy said tearing up as his hood fell revealing a boy in his early twenties at most.
The baby wiggled and coo'ed. It wasn't afraid of it's would-be abductor. It's blanket began to fall away from the baby's face and arm and revealed the child was different. The eyes and mouth looked to have a type of energy emitting from them ever so slightly.
"What the..?" Blaze thought to himself looking back at the kid on the ground.
"That guy is out of prison... the one who kills people who're sick, or mutants, or look anything less than human. My mom's too old, she can't fight that guy off. Spiderman barely beat him last time and he already killed six people Downtown..." the kid in tattered clothes said standing back to his feet and clutching his stomach.
"Wait... didn't the Bugle call him the Mutagen Murderer?" Blaze asked.
"That's the guy. Two people have already been found dead Downtown. One was just sick, the other one was a teenager. A mutant girl. I'm not gonna let that guy get close to my sister..." the young man continued.
"You should stick with your mom, two of you stand a better chance than just you. I'll see if I can't find some better place to stay safe should anybody spot the guy.. you know anybody else that would fit this guy's MO?" Blaze asked turning his flames and skull face off.
"Four or five yeah, then a couple more people that're sick..." the young man answered picking his sister back up and putting the blanket around her once again.
"I'll come Downtown with my face on when I've got some place for you guys to stay. Bring your sister, your mother, and tell the others. For now go back to your mom's side of town." Blaze instructed leaping back into the tops of skyscrapers of Midtown on his way up.
