Bio

Well now that I got the customary "post once" requirement out of the way....

HELLO

Welcome to my safe space. Well, about as safe as one space can be, I guess. If you are here looking for something, I am very sorry to disappoint you, but I made fresh cookies! Come sit a spell.

I guess I'll do some more in-depth stuff about myself. My name is Nick and I am 33 years old living in Illinois. I am a therapist and clinical responder (which is a fancy way of saying I go out on police calls to provide mental health assistance). Been doing therapy for a few years now and I absolutely love it!

I am a gay, cisgender man. I came out last year in January (smack dab in the middle of a pandemic. Timing was always my downfall). There is still much I am learning, but I am proud and happy to be who I really am and not have to hide it anymore!

I am an avid gamer, especially roleplaying games (cue surprised and shock noises). I also enjoy writing and reading, especially mysteries. I am not new to roleplay, I promise. I have been doing it for years now in different formats. I am experienced, even if it doesn't seem like it.

I use humor as a coping mechanism for sure, but I also like laughing and enjoying myself. Life can be pretty sad and upsetting for the most part and I don't want to add to it.

Whew! That got deep!

I will be poking my nose around in spaces and hoping to jump headfirst into this. Some interests I have in terms of roleplay settings include superheroes, DnD, science fiction/fantasy, mysteries, thrillers, horror stuffs, apocolypse, and espionage. And I am a fan of most things pop culture. If you have any suggestions or possible roleplays you think I would love, please let me know.

Otherwise, stick around! This is gonna get wild!

This version of Black Canary is not the child of the original. Rather, she came to be Black Canary all on her own, though she didn't start wearing the name or fighting crime until her boyfriend was gunned down by *insert villain here*. After losing him, Dinah made a promise to herself to fight so that others did not experience the pain she had gone through. She trained hard, mastering acrobatics, martial arts, and some weaponry (firearms, sword). She has had her signature "Canary Cry" for as long as she can remember but has always hidden it out of fear. Now that she patrols the streets, she uses it to help fuel her desire to rid Gotham City of crime. This version of Black Canary is a lounge singer at The Iceberg Lounge and rides a motorcycle because she is badass like that.

Black Canary is attempting to right the many wrongs she has experienced growing up, for good or for ill. Though she is trying to be a hero to those who need her, she is not without her own faults. One such fault is the murder of her boyfriend. Dinah still has not forgiven the person who took him from her and that is a driving force behind her actions. Should she get the opportunity, she will pursue *insert villain here* to her fullest capacity. This may put her at odds with other heroes. There is also a connection between her and Green Arrow (or someone else if someone wants to play Green Arrow and not have a connection). The two butt heads, but there is something more there. Dinah is not afraid to put herself out there to help others, leading to many a villain knowing who she is. But where there are enemies, there are also friends.

@Master Bruce Obviously we need to be accepted first. I just assumed since your sheet was top notch that you were a shoo-in!
@Master Bruce Question for you. I am making Black Canary and I was wondering if it would be possible that she is a lounge singer at Catwoman's club? This is, of course, subject to change if someone wants to be Catwoman.

Also perhaps Black Canary and Batman know of one another to some degree? Let me know your thoughts!
You son of a gun, I'm in!
@Sir Lurksalot I'm kind of already playing a mildly insane person in another RP so I am leaning towards Black Canary, but I won't lie, I would love to play Harley Quinn in something

Hmm I may have to think on this.
I have indeed arrived. If we are talking DC Heroes, I would love to play Black Canary. Her or Harley Quinn (if we are allowed anti-heroes. I can always have her be more heroic)
Hi yes I have arrived!




Jacqueline opened her eyes, feeling the warmth of the sun on her cheek. She blinked a few times to steady her gaze. For a second, she did not know where she was. Once her vision came to pass she noticed she was laying on sand and could hear the water as it lapped on the beach. She began to get up but felt a twinge of pain on her left side. She fell back to the ground, letting the pain subside. She moved to her right side, glancing down to where the pain was, and noticed her clothing torn and a dark cut along her left thigh and up past her hip.

How did she....

And then she remembered.

It was supposed to be a trip. Simple. Or as simple as expected on a voyage over harsh waters. She had looked for the best possible ship to make the trip. Her sisters, her family, begged her not to go. "It's not worth it," they proclaimed, but she knew better. She had to go. The time among her Order was not long and if they had any hope of surviving and prospering, they needed somewhere fresh to start.

And here she was now laying on a beach, wounded and thirsty.

She moved herself up to a sitting position, or what cold best be described as one given the nature of her wounds. She looked around to see if anyone else on the ship was up and about like her. She noted that a few sailors were nearby, but she did not put much faith into them waking up. So what of the other members not a part of the crew? And the Captain?

It would not do her well to sit here and wait. She would need to tend to her wounds if she wanted to continue on. She moved herself to her feet, clenching her teeth as her wound opened up. But she was standing. She gripped her side, looking around for some tools or supplies that survived the crash.

There was a crash, wasn't there? Surely she didn't just wash up on the beach after a drunken night on the ship. Her mind was blurry and she fought for the memories to return. Alas, no luck. Maybe one of the others would stir awake and could let her know what happened. Until then, she would need to find something to help her injuries. And maybe the others, if they needed it. Then she could get to work on figuring out where she was and how to get to where she needed to be.

The lighter flicked on and off at regular intervals. Though she didn't smoke, Harlow kept it with her as a memento and a reminder. "All the better to burn it to the fucking ground, my dear," she thought to herself. She sat on the ground, allowing others to pass her by. She often did this. Hood pulled over her head, shadowing her face. Few people, in any, gave her notice. She preferred it. Not only was NOVA looking for her, she didn't want attention. Attention meant eyes and eyes were the creepiest part of the body. They hid intentions. She knew all too well.

She had been listening to the newsstream as well as law enforcement broadcasts. She had hacked her way into it to allow her at least some warning should she be discovered. However, something had piqued her interest.

The first was the story about the disappearance of two Nobles. Harlow had taken some small satisfaction in that, though she was not involved. To her, Nobles were no better than NOVA. Variants who sold themselves to the highest bidder. And the Glorious Alliance? Simply put, it was full of showoffs and sellouts purely in it to make a buck or to get others to fawn over them. She hoped the two that disappeared were in a ditch somewhere, their perfectly tailored clothes ripped to shreds and their faces caked with dirt and blood.

The second news story was different.

A fire in a lab with variants seen fleeing the scene. Had they started the fire? She would bet money that they did. Attention would be on that lab for a while. It would be suicide to go over there.

So she stood up and began walking in that direction.

If only to see the fire burn. To see the destruction it caused. The life extinguished. Her brother would get upset if he heard her talk like that. It was why she kept it inside. If she let it out, who knew what would happen?

Wonderland.

A name from an old children's book about a young girl who fell down a rabbit hole into another world where she had to survive an onslaught from many characters, each with seemingly hidden ill-will towards the girl. The Queen wanted her head, the Cat talked in riddles, even the Mad Hatter could not be a reliable ally.

It connected with her deeply. The feeling of not knowing what was going on around you and was saddled with this 'curse' as there was no other word for it. The only thing you could do was continue onward and hope you survived the next encounter.

So who's to say why Harlow made her way toward the lab? Was it out of wonder? Terror? Curiosity? Maybe all of the sins above. Either way, today was going to be interesting.
