VitaVitaAR said Hmm, we have Nonon... but I am not sure we had everyone else.

No no, I meant in other RPs and this one collectively

I was half-afraid she'd get denied and I'd have to use Phalanx (one of the villains who was scrapped for being way too damn similar to Forgeborn) ^_^;

I drew a little inspiration from a certain someone, who...actually looks kinda like Blackhawk come to think of it...
By this point, between my OCs and those of some friends, I'm pretty sure we've got the entire cast of Kill La Kill

Still hate double-posting, but here it is. After at least a half-dozen attempts that were scrapped either for lack of inspiration or being too similar to existing characters (most notably Forgeborn and Zeta), I finally got a character I can click with. And they even come complete with an entry for your organization database :)

The character

Name: Blackhawk (real name unknown)

Age: Early 30s; exact age unknown

Gender: Female

Appearance:

Personality: Blackhawk is a trigger-happy, anti-superhuman, pro-genocide, gun-toting, cigarette-smoking, alcohol-drinking lunatic. Seeing her calm would probably herald the opening of Hell's first ice-skating rink, and seeing her outright help a superhuman would still be impossible at that point. As a bit of a hotshot among UHF members, it should be noted that she tends to lean toward the villain side of the hero/villain spectrum. When she's acting of her own volition, it will probably be the same stuff a supervillain would do, but rest assured that any superhuman - good or evil - is a fair target to her. As a result, she sometimes ends up helping heroes or villains take out their rivals, even if she doesn't want to.

Skills: Very good with guns and melee combat. Supposedly, she's also quite the chemist and engineer.

Abilities: NONE AT ALL!

Equipment

"Lunatic Juice"
Nobody knows what the small bottles of blue liquid Blackhawk carries really do. However, it's probably some sort of super-soldier serum, since whenever she drinks it, she becomes stronger, faster, tougher, and generally able to fight superhumans on even footing without need for a fancy suit like Jettank. Supposedly, her personality is a result of the side-effects. Typically, Blackhawk will carry four of these bottles, which are stored in the pouch on her left leg.

Shotgun/Rifle
Custom-made, supposedly by Blackhawk herself. It's a two-handed gun, but has the capabilities to switch between an assault rifle and a shotgun. Common theory is that it's actually a heavily-modified shotgun, which would explain why it looks so much like one yet doesn't look a thing like a rifle. Holstered over a magnet on the right side of the back of her vest when not in use.

Pistol
Custom-made, supposedly by Blackhawk herself. It may be small, but it packs a nasty punch. However, it's primarily a backup weapon, since Blackhawk usually has her rifle/shotgun out and it's a pain to switch between the two, especially in combat.

Grenade Launcher
Custom-made, supposedly by Blackhawk herself. This small grenade launcher is typically holstered on Blackhawk's right thigh, and is light and sturdy enough to be used to smack somebody if need be. However, since it's small, it has a pretty nasty kick to it.

Machete
Holstered behind her left shoulder, Blackhawk's machete is her best friend in close-ranged combat. She's actually ambidextrous, and uses the machete with her left hand. This means she can (and usually will) reach for her pistol with her right hand if the fight goes on too long or she otherwise needs it.

Assault Vest
Despite all her fancy custom-made guns and whatever the hell her blue stuff is, Blackhawk's assault vest is actually standard-issue for the most part. The only modification she made was adding a magnet on the back of the right shoulder so she had a place to put her rifle/shotgun.

Ammo Pouch
The pouch on Blackhawk's lower back contains ammo for all her weapons, from mags to shotgun shells to explosive and smoke grenades. She also keeps a pack of cigarettes in there, as well as a lighter.

Brief Backstory: A lot of Blackhawk's life is a mystery. Based on her name, it's commonly believed she was formerly a soldier of the infamous Blackhawk Squadron who went AWOL when her fellow Blackhawks were killed by a superhuman, though some variations of the story say she was honorably discharged. In either case, it would make quite a bit of sense since as soon as Blackhawk returned from duty (assuming she was with the Blackhawk Squadron), she swore that she would exterminate every last superhuman out there. Her possible connections to the Blackhawk Squadron would also explain her skills with weapons and her less-than-caring attitude about others.

In any case, Blackhawk's crusade has brought her to Greenfield, a recent gathering point for superhumans. With this many in one place, it suffices to say that for Blackhawk, the hunt is on.

The organization

Name: Blackhawk Squadron
Description: The Blackhawk Squadron was created in 1913 and served no country in particular. Rather, they consisted of the best of the best from several nations, and their sole purpose was to keep superhumans in check, for better or worse. Until they were eradicated in 2013, they were notorious not only for being good at their job, but also for their lack of concern for collateral damage or the well-being of bystanders. The exact details of their extermination in 2013 is a mystery, but what's known is that the Blackhawks were killed by a superhuman. The identity of the one responsible - villain or not - remains unknown.

I'm gonna make a villain. Probably a rival/ex-rival for Necrohead.

A Great Bloody Mess

Krov Piyavki said A few years

Opening Post said About a month ago, the vampires of Japan came out and said they were going to take control over the humans and turn Japan into a land of eternal night; a paradise for the nocturnal blood-suckers.

A Great Bloody Mess

Only eleven!? This girl is probably an example the reason fledgling is even a classification of vampire. Still, Kuro had said to be respectful. And even if Hisako was the one who had this place built, Kuro was the boss around here as far as she was concerned. He was an elder vampire; that in itself said something. Sure, Hisako didn't like following the orders of somebody who typically acted like a kid (though she'd much prefer that over listening to someone who actually was a kid), but he was the strongest here. Unless those rumors about Priscilla were true. Hisako shuddered at the thought. Not because she feared having an Ancient here; quite the contrary. Just the notion that somebody that powerful was going to be here.

"You're right, Hisako, we will need more humans to sustain our needs. 3 humans is not enough to feed..... Um..Several vampires. I could go and collect a few more, if that is needed for the benefit of the group as a whole."

"I'll tag along, but let's save it for tomorrow. At the very least, we can all get a nice meal for the next couple days, but you didn't count the one Kuro brought in. Four humans is much greater than three, and it seems the introduction circle has come back around to me. So again, I'm Hisako Saito, the founder of the sanctuary. I don't want anybody putting the place in danger, got it?"

"Speak your age," a second, taller woman said from the front door. Clad in black armor, with a distinctive mask over half of her face, and brandishing a black sword. The description fit only one vampire so well as Priscilla the Ancient. "I am Priscilla the Ancient, otherwise known as the Skull Queen, aged two-thousand, one-hundred and seven years old. The threat of vampire extinction in Japan has been deemed a crisis where I'm to be summoned, and thus, I am here."

Hisako looked as though her blood froze solid in her veins. Sure, she'd been casually dismissing the talk that an Ancient - Priscilla, no less - would be here, but to actually see that they were true was a bit overwhelming. "Yes...Hisako Saito, age 98."

"So much for her big talk," Priscilla muttered, entering the building proper and closing the door behind her. "Barring myself, who among you is the eldest? I've only been informed that vampire life is in danger in this nation, so I'll need somebody to explain to me the details."

A Great Bloody Mess

All that's left is for Diminuendo to post then stuff can happen.

Deep Ground Online

I'm gonna quote what I said in an RP I'm currently GMing just the other day.

UnendingEmpire said It's not a race; having players who plan to stick with the RP is infinitely more valuable than a high posting rate.

WatermelonTango said I wouldn't have made him a part of ARROW, but I was afraid that he'd be a one act character who would then not be involved in the plot anymore. At least in ARROW he'd be given assignments and have other people to work for and continue to be involved later down the line.

Why not make him like Viral (Gurren Lagann) or Nui (Kill La Kill)? Comes back frequently to be evil and badass, then eventually

spoilers for both

joins the good guys or dies?
