Personality: Deon is a driven man who needs to succeed at everything he attempts in his life. This trait was only further enhanced after his divorce. His failure at marriage caused him to overcompensate in almost every other area of his life. Due to this, Deon has a very assertive nature, making sure his opinion, wants and needs are well stated. This can cause him to come across as very arrogant, a trait only further reinforced by his competitive side.

These skills have allowed Deon to move swiftly through his workplace's hierarchy and as of late through the bedrooms of several women.

However, Deon is also a loving father and his little girl has him wrapped around her finger. It was devastating to lose custody of his Ellara, but Deon makes every available minute for his daughter, often going out of his way to sneak time with his daughter or even just to leave a present for her. 
Habits: As a former smoker, Deon has a habit of fidgeting with an empty Zippo lighter. When impatient, he'll tap his fingers or toes, crossing his arms when especially irritable. When he quit smoking, Deon began to eat to fill the void however his weight gain attributed to divorce. Since the divorce, Deon has become a familiar face at the gym, replacing eating with working out and as such is in the best physical shape of his life. 
Hobbies: Deon enjoys collecting scale models of famous planes or notable models. He painstakingly builds and paints each one himself before displaying them a room dedicated to the history of flight in his condominium. As such, he also enjoys anything relating to the history of aviation.

Biography:
Gideon Arnulf von Engelhardt was born in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Often referred to as Hollywood North, Vancouver was a living city, thriving with life and ripe with opportunities. Gideon's parents were among those who had taken advantage of the open doors Vancouver had offered them and as such lived a life of leisure, maintaining an upper-middle-class income. As such, during his childhood, Gideon wanted for nothing and lived a relatively easy childhood, maintaining a healthy relationship with his parents.

Taking an interest in aviation during his youth, Gideon developed a passion for all things related to man's journey through the sky. Setting his sights on engineering while still in elementary school, Gideon's parents helped him to develop the necessary skills to hone his academics and produce the grade score that schools of engineering would be looking for. Despite his studious nature, Gideon still found time to hold down part-time jobs and even maintain a social circle of friends. It was from this circle, that he would go on to meet his first real love, Alyssa McNally. There was an immediate mutual attraction between Gideon and Alyssa, and it didn't take long until the two became an item.

Remaining together throughout high school, Alyssa and Gideon married the day of his eighteenth birthday. By this time, the pair had graduated from high school and Gideon had begun attending the University of Washington. Moving into their own apartment, Alyssa found a dead-end but albeit full-time job working in retail while Gideon himself found two part-time jobs in order for the pair to make ends meet. Gideon's education had been paid for, courtesy of his parents, however, the two hadn't taken into account the costs of living on their own, especially in a new country. 

For five years, the pair endured the financial stress of working minimum wage jobs while Gideon went after his Bachelor's and then his Master's. Gideon's Master's was the gift that just kept on giving, along with the completion of his school and a job offer from Boeing, Alyssa gave birth to the pair's daughter, the true love of Gideon's life, Ellara Leia Liana Engelhardt. However, not even the birth of their daughter could save Alyssa and Gideon's marriage. Deon's eating habits while attending school had taken a toll on his body, resulting in significant weight gain, while Alyssa had felt ignored. In fact, Ellara's conception had only happened due to Alyssa being drunk on Gideon's birthday and having pity sex with her husband. With an already strained relationship, Alyssa's development of Post-Partum depression didn't make any improvement. In a final devastating blow, Alyssa slept with Gideon's best friend.

The divorce took a significant toll on Gideon but in otherwise it was one of the best things to happen to him. While he lost custody of his daughter due to manipulation of Alyssa and her parents, Gideon was also motivated in other ways as he began to work out, toning his physique and changing his habits. In order to compensate for the loss of his wife, Gideon, or rather the newly invented, Deon, threw himself into his work. Moving through the ranks at Boeing, Gideon has recently been promoted to a project manager in aviation design. Finally accomplishing one part of his lifelong dream, to use his passion to shape a new age of aviation.
Discovery Of Your Power: Deon discovered his ability one evening when relaxing in his living room and the light from his lamp suddenly was pulled out of the shade and took a tactile form in the air before floating into his palms. The whole experience left Deon visibly shaken and he would rather forget it had happened.
Ability & Powers: Light Manipulation, he is able to take light from existing sources.
Ability & Powers Weaknesses: Can only manipulate light from nearby light sources such as, lamps and flash lights ect.
Can be affected by his own ability if light hits a reflective surface and can be overwhelmed by darkness manipulation.

-Aristotle

P R E M I S E:

F I A T   J U S T I T I A   R U A T   C A E L U M
Let justice be done, though heavens may fall.

For years, the superheroes of Earth have taken gifted youngsters under their wings to teach them how to not only fight crime but to use their talents to their greatest potential. Due to this, the world has seen such iconic teams as the Teen Titans and the Young Justice initiative, but with the number of meta-humans increasing every day, the world calls for something new. 

While on a mission in Europe, the Justice League Dark discovered a massive ancient mansion in the depths of Scotland. This mansion was mystically enhanced, existing both in our dimension and yet not being present at all. Much like the Houses of Mystery and Secrets, very little is known about the Corrigan Estate in general. The estate is capable of appearing anywhere in the world or even anywhere in time. The architecture is indeterminate and changes periodically. The same holds true for the inside of the manor; the rooms constantly shift, and one never enters the same room twice. The Corrigan Estate possesses sentience, along with mystic powers, capable of possessing individuals or even completely merging with them.
 
Despite the estate being kept in line by Zatanna, the majority of the Corrigan's funding comes from Wayne Enterprises. Under the powers of the League's most notable magicians, the Corrigan's tether to our dimension was relocated to Star City where a site had been granted to the school by Mayor Oliver Queen. The school opened its doors nearly ten years ago and has been a thriving producer of Earth’s current heroes. Many of these heroes go on to join the Justice League later in their career, but the top of the graduating class always becomes the world’s newest team of Teen Titans. 

Although mockingly referred to as the Justice League Academy, Corrigan has led overall to a higher than expected performance rate by younger heroes and as a result, crime worldwide has hit an all-time low. Though the school has its critics, they are few and far between with the superhero community as a whole giving it an approval rating that has only climbed over the last decade.

Enrollment for the upcoming school year reached a record high with the combination of both returning students and new attendees. With such high numbers, the competition between students is sure to be the most exciting it has ever been.

"Rise and rise again until the lambs have become lions."

P R E M I S E:
On October 18, 1967, Earth was hit with an immense Coronal Mass Ejection. During a total Lunar Eclipse, the sun emitted a massive interplanetary CME which doused the entire globe with high energy particles causing the largest and brightest occurrence of the aurorae ever recorded. Unfortunately this also brought a geomagnetic storm which ravaged Earth’s electrical transmission lines, causing power outages on a global scale. It was on this day that the Earth nearly stood still, sitting in total darkness for nearly ten minutes before back up systems began to re-activate. Numerous regions around the globe were left in the dark well beyond that. Cities were powerless for nearly a week while some rural areas were forced to survive for nearly a month without power. This event left a death toll numbering in the tens of thousands becoming known as the Dark Eclipse. 

However, the aftermath of the Dark Eclipse reached far further than anyone could have ever anticipated. The resulting effect of the high energy particles is a mutation appearing in one person of every million people. While public knowledge of the mutation remains vague, selected sects in the scientific community are aware of it and have dubbed the emergence of the mutation ‘Viriumosis’.  In common jargon, the possession of a mutation is referred to as the ‘Hype-Factor’ or ‘Hype-Gene’. Collectively, these mutants are referred to as ‘Hyperhumans’.

In the spring of 1985, a severe storm laid siege to the New Hampshire city of New Lilith. With emergency services swamped and overworked, the city was left defenseless against a crime wave that soon washed over it. A group of Hyperhumans, however, took the law into their own hands and these young vigilantes soon became the world's first known superheroes. Over the next ten years, the young heroes continue to garner recognition, their influence spreading beyond the city and within another decade to the world.

A Very Maverick Timeline:

Year 1
MAY 201x - On a late night in early May, the Harbour Kings led by Tony 'The Behemoth' Cleaver broke into the National Saving and Loans Bank. Coincidentally this night also led to the first introduction of the Mavericks as each of the original four three were drawn to the crime. Banding together, they defeated the Kings and took Tony down. As the sirens sounded, the four three parted ways... for the time being. IllAdvised would go on to spend the next month tracking down each Maverick and recruiting them together starting with Angel and ending with Feral.

JUNE 201x - By the following month, the Mavericks had been formed with IllAdvised introducing to them to an abandoned apartment building in the Lower East End that he had been operating out of. As one of the most crime ridden districts, the Mavericks set their sights on cleaning up the immediate area engaging the Blue Ravens gang. Additional Notes: The apartment building was condemned and the deed to the land was acquired by Sam. Putting the deed into a pseudonym, the Mavericks were able to operate undisturbed.

JULY 201x - After being too late to stop an explosion at one of Larissa's New Lilith's advanced research facilities, IllAdvised begins to investigate the cause after noting the high radiation in the ruins. His investigation leads to the discovery of a synthetic humanoid named A.T.O.M. Recruting the blue synthoid, he begins to bound with Glitch and Xander who takes a liking to its naive nature. the childlike artificial lifeform. 

AUGUST 201x - Aside from the Behemoth, the Mavericks focus on cleaning up their area and manage to steer clear of other Hyperhumans. That all changed when their investigation into the drug industry led them to rising pop sensation $hakra. Underestimating their foe, the Mavericks were caught off guard by $hakra's hyperhuman abilities but to their surprise the group recieved a new ally in the form of Allison Woltz. Overload, as she would later known to be called, aided the team with her electrical-based abilities and they were able to subdue $hakra. Major Editing Required: Perhaps scrap '$hakra' and replace with the more developed idea of 'Riot and the Mob'.

SEPTEMBER 201x - With the presence of a new team member, the Mavericks take the time to bring her into the group, though some hold reservations. On the other end, a particular Maverick begins to develop an interest in their new teammate. During this time, they concentrate on fortifying and training themselves, not wanting to be almost outmatched again. Vague and unneccessary, could be reworked into something of value.

OCTOBER 201x - Local media begins to pick up stories on the Mavericks, officially giving them their name. Escaping authorities and criminals alike, they become something of a local phenomenon. Interestingly enough, many in the public just want to leave them be, noting the decline in crime rates. However, one reporter in particular, Rhonda Rivington, takes a special joy in painting the Mavericks out to be villains in media outlets on the Upper end of town. During this time, the Mavericks attempt to lay low.

NOVEMBER 201x - The Mavericks catch wind of a sex slave ring beginning to rear it's head in their city. In an attempt to squash it, they organize a plan and Allison volunteers as bait. Upon uncovering the heinous organization, the team learns that the head of the operation is a woman using Hype class abilities to lure the victims in with pheremones. A battle ensue in which the Mavericks overtake the woman and notify the media outlets and police. Cliché, could be a much better arc.

DECEMBER 201x - The Mavericks set their sites sights on taking out other gangs across the city, having gathered intel and strengthened their mettle. In a broad sweep of two nights, they are able to effectively halt the plans of 10 arms smuggling operations and notify the authorities, leading to the arrest of more than 100 gang members in two nights and the taking down of 4 drug leaders. The media then goes on to call this phenomenon "A Maverick White Christmas"

JANUARY 201x - Noting a sharp decline in crime, the Mavericks take this time and new year to lax patrols and take a much needed breath. With a bit of coaxing and a romaing police scanner always active, they risk a trip to Spain, under the guise of a short vacation and chasing the rumor of Larissa New Lilith Hypes being abucted. They stumble across an underground Hype fighting arena that Thomas finds himself being entered into. Working to get him out and take down the ring, the Mavericks end up in a brawl for the books. They are able to escape and promptly shut-down the ring with the help of undercover Interpol agents who vow to keep their involvement secret, granting them passage to fly home.

FEBRUARY 201x - Unbeknownst to the Mavericks, Locke begins to narrow his sights on the Maverick base, gathering intel and planning an assault aimed at destroying them once and for all. 

MARCH 201x - In a battle that would claim their base and almost claim the team, The Mavericks were pushed to their limits. After the assault lodged against them by none other than Roman Locke and his contingency of the corrupt police, the Mavericks barely escaped their base and regrouped underground. They fled, seeking haven. The location of the base was compromised and Locke was able to use his own legal team to acquire the deed to the apartment building have it demolished with the Mavericks still inside.

APRIL 201x - The team regroups to patch themselves up and lick their wounds. IllAdvised establishes a new base out of town on the tip of the Pamlico Sound city within an old lighthouse. The Rhodes Lighthouse, long believed to be haunted by the New Alexandria community, it allows the Mavericks to hide in plain sight as they remain undisturbed away from shore.

MAY 201x - 

RP picks up after the death of Roman Locke and dealing with the fallout of such a large power vacuum in the city. With such a threat at the forefront, the Mavericks fail to notice another threat rising before a new night has come.​

"Witty Quote #1"

B A R T H O L O M E W   ' B A R T '   A L L E N   I I   ♦   2 8   ♦   M A L E   ♦   C E N T R A L   C I T Y   ♦   C . S . I .   ♦   S O L O

P O W E R S:
"Witty Quote #2"
◼ SPEED FORCE CONDUIT:
The Speed Force is a vaguely defined extra-dimensional energy force from which most superspeed-powered heroes draw their powers. The Speed Force serves as the ultimate measure of velocity. Velocity is often referred to in terms of barriers: Sound barrier, Light barrier, Time Barrier, Dimensional Barrier, and finally the Speed Force Barrier. Bart Allen is the very source and creator of the Speed Force,and generates it with every step he takes. For this very reason, he is unaffected if any other speedster tries to steal or drain his speed. Bart Allen is the fastest of the Flashes, and is arguably one of, the fastest beings to have ever existed. He is currently fast enough to easily break all of the barriers and even enter the Speed Force itself, and is one of the few people to have ever escaped from it. He does not often go beyond Mach 10, as speeds above that level are catastrophic to the environment. To this extent, Bart can most likely reach any speed he can imagine, and more.

◼ SUPERHUMAN SPEED:
Speed Force conduits have one main ability above all else. Conduits are connected to the barrier and accumulation of all Speed known in their universe. These characters immediately understand how to run at superhuman speeds and their bodies instinctively understand how to react at high-speed situations. Older speedsters have a reduced but maxed speed of 770mph which is just below sonic booms allowing them to react to situations without causing civilians undo stress. Speedsters in their prime can travel at much faster speeds such as the max level of recorded aided speed on Earth and even reach the speed of light with enough willpower. It is possible for conduits to travel much faster than the speed of light however such levels require an incredible amount of stress. Speedsters unaccustomed to their max level of speeds may detach themselves from the Speed Force or even become part of the Speed Force by accident.

◼ SUPERHUMAN AGILITY:
Bart is incredibly agile, able to change direction immediately. This allows him to make sharp turns on city streets without sliding or losing his balance, and helps him leap farther and higher while running.

◼ SUPERHUMAN REFLEXES:
Bart's increased speed also augments his reaction time, allowing him to react to danger and events far faster than a normal human. When shot in the neck on his blindside, Bart was able to catch the bullet and minimize the damage before it could fully penetrate his skin.

◼ SUPERHUMAN ENDURANCE:
Bart's body can handle the stresses of superhuman racing without noticeable distress, and his body's enhanced stamina allows him to function much longer than a normal human without getting tired or weak. Bart is able to recover from attacks and exertion much quicker than normal humans. While his durability is no greater than before, he has been able to withstand being struck with Weather Wizard's lightning, with him only being stunned for several minutes, as well as only being stunned by Grodd's strength.

◼ ACCELERATED PERCEPTION:
Bart's speed also extends to his senses and mental capacities, able to take in information and process it just as fast. This allows Bart to see the world as if it is in slow motion, which combined with his physical speed lets him think, perform actions, react to events, long before a normal human around him could even perceive them.

◼ RAPID CELLULAR REGENERATION:
Bart has dramatically heightened healing capacities. This is caused by his body's molecules moving at accelerated rates, causing the chemical reactions responsible for metabolism to mend and even restore any damages much quicker and efficiently than regular humans. His body can heal itself in hours or days with little to no treatment or therapy. After breaking his wrist while testing his new-found speed, Bart made a full recovery within three hours with no lingering effects or even signs of it having happened. Even normally permanent damage to his body, like becoming a paraplegic, will completely repair itself within days. His body also has a heightened resistance, if not immunity, to any sickness, disease, toxins, and poisons. Normal drinking does not affect him consuming a special 500 proof alcohol only intoxicated for a few seconds. Similarly, when injected him with 2,000 milligrams of horse tranquilizer, Bart was only momentarily slowed down until he burned through it. Further testing of Bart's body has speculated that this augmented metabolism is drastically reducing his aging process while likewise extending his health and longevity.

◼ CELLULAR VIBRATION:
Bart has the ability to vibrate some or all of his cells and overall parts of his body on command for various effects. His bodily control can vibrate his entire body to mask his form from others clearly perceiving it and distort his vocal cords to disguise his voice. Similar, he can vibrate his cells fast enough to forcibly expel any toxins that do manage to affect him. He can vibrate at varying frequencies and with different levels of force, allowing him to create small tremor-like effects on any object or person he touches. Later learning how to vibrate all the cells in his body at the same frequency as air, Bart can allow himself to seamlessly pass through any solid target unfazed. His can also choose which matter he phases together with him as he phased Iris and Joe both in and out of moving vehicles.

◼ FORCE GENERATION:
Through Bart's ability to accelerate his movements, he can generate great amounts of physical forces through kinetic energy and friction, allowing him to overpower regular humans with little to no effort. Through generation of his accelerated momentum, he can propel himself through the air and create substantial frictional force with any object he comes into contact with, able to jumped over 15 feet in the air. The friction from his speed can also cause extreme heat and set objects ablaze. Alternatively, his enhanced speed lets him channel the force into powerful strikes, often propelling targets several feet. Bart has an increased level of strength added to his body which he can impart in different ways. He can strengthen each and every move he makes however this requires attention and stress for each movement and therefore is almost never used. In most cases Bart can focus the Speed Force's extra-dimensional energies into one massive punch. The force he generates can even produce sonic blasts with his strikes, enough to disable a meta-human who could become as strong and hard as steel. Similarly, Bart is able to hurl a bullet from his hand with enough force to penetrate a powerful barrier and still pierce clean through a person.

◼ VORTEX GENERATION:
Using his speed, Bart can control air flow on all levels by moving through them fast enough and create vacuums. He can suffocate people by creating a strong vortex around them by running around them. He can spin his arms at the speed of a tornado to remove air from fire and extinguish it and repel targets away. For larger scale feats, he can completely removing the physical force from massive tidal waves and stabilize a giant singularity by running back and forth or in a circle.

Tell us how to beat your character. Not how to defeat them short term but what attacks can hurt them and affect them like everyone else and possibly kill them.

S K I L L S:
"Witty Quote #4"
◼ SKILLED TACTICIAN:
A keen-minded individual, from a young age, Bart quickly showed a natural understanding and quick capacity to learn, making it hard for his foster-father Joe to help him with homework by the time he was twelve. Bart is also very well-read, greatly impressing even award-winning professors. Bart is a capable tactician and leader. In times of crisis when the other leaders of the Justice League have been indisposed, Bart has managed to keep the remaining team together and lead it well. Bart's intelligence made the Chief of Police trust him enough to make Bart the new head of the Special Investigative Unit at the Central City Police Department.

◼ FORENSIC EXPERT:
Bart is a highly skilled forensics examiner. From a single glance of the crime scene, he can quickly determine much of the events that transpired. Bart has repeatedly been able to quickly analyze any given data and quickly form accurate theories on the given situation.

◼ CHEMISTRY EXPERT:
Bart's knowledge and skill in chemistry is very advanced, shown when he was terrified at how certain chemicals were stored at a lab at Queen Consolidated, describing them all as the definition of dangerous. He has also been able to cure a poison victim using only a small amount of rat poison and consequently dosed with a blood coagulant. He could also use unknown types of chemicals to make a compressible micro-fabric costume for himself that resisted the extreme forces of fiction his speed exerted upon it.

//STATS:
◼ HEIGHT | 5'-6"

◼ WEIGHT | 112 lbs

◼ BUILD | Athletic

◼ HAIR COLOR | White

◼ EYE COLOR | Greenish-Blue

◼ PIERCING(S) | Rose possesses numerous piercings. In her left ear is one small silver stud, while her right ear has a matching stud in the lobe while a hoop is placed halfway up the outer arch while a second rests on top. She has a tongue ring which she often plays with when bored or flirting. Both of Roses's nipples are pierced, along her navel and a bar piercing on either side of her pelvis, one resting on each hip bone. She has one other additional piercing that she got on a dare and often leaves as a surprise for her 'lovers'.

◼ TATTOO(S) | Rose has seven tattoos on her body, the first of which is a monochrome tattoo that spreads across the upper half of her back from one shoulder to the other. This tattoo is a skeletal vampire bat with its wings spread, its fanged jaw open and facing outwards. The second of which is a lower back tattoo that hugs the small of her lower back, riding her waistline. This tattoo is of a pair of red roses posed on either side of a heart-shaped locket. The design is drawn together by thorn-laden vines on either side of the locket that are intertwined and reach the edge of her hourglass shape. 

Sitting on Rose’s collarbone is a small tattoo of .50 caliber bullet with a tally of the number of cartels she took down while operating in South America. On her right forearm is a tattoo of a Calavera skull with a rose at the center of the skull's forehead. Around Rose's navel, is a nautical compass tattoo with the Southern direction emphasized pointing downwards. Beneath her bosom, is another tattoo with skeleton hands cradling an hourglass between the base of either breast. Small chains hang from both hands, intertwined between the long thin fingers. Within the hourglass’s upper portion, the sand is drawn to resemble waves with a tall ship riding atop the highest point. The lower half of the hourglass however, is partially filled with sand, the shape of a skull clearly visible.  

On the left side of her pelvis, Rose has a tattoo of a pair of cherries, their stems are tied together and decorated to resemble a lit fuse. Lastly on the back of Rose's left calf is an anatomical heart-shaped grenade, pierced by a combat knife, blood flowing down either side of the grenade.

◼ PERSONALITY | Rose Wilson is a proud rebel. She disobeys orders often, and likes making sarcastic comments. Rose likes to have the last words in. She isn’t afraid to speak her mind, and makes it obvious when she doesn’t like someone. But Rose hides her insecurity. She never really knows her place, so she moves around a lot. The only place she is really comfortable is in combat. But the one thing she knows for sure is that she is a good person.

Rose is a little psychotic, but not to the insane level. She knows her limits. She is intelligent, but also reacts quick, sometimes before the situation is fully thought through. The one thing she wants most is to be accepted for who she is, and she refuses to change her ways. She is flirtatious and very emotional. Mostly in the pleasure and anger department.

//DESCRIPTION:
Rose Wilson is a thin, tall, muscular woman with fair skin. Her eye is a brilliant greenish-blue. She only has her right eye, because the left was damaged by during her youth by Wade DeFarge. Due to her abilities and injury, the left eye is 'blind', rendering it white and pupil-less. Rose wore a white eye patch over the missing eye in her youth, but will only cover her eye now if necessary for covert or subtle affairs. Described by many as attractive, she has jarring silver hair inherited from her father's genetic mutations that is long and reaches her mid-back. In terms of clothing, Rose generally can be found wearing her 'Batgirl' armor when on a mission but off-duty prefers to relax in shorts and tank tops. She can dress up when needed but prefers to dress comfortably.

◼ SYNOPSIS:
In this universe, Rose Wilson is the daughter of Slade Wilson and Nyssa al Ghul. She was raised by her mother in Gotham, until Nyssa’s death when Rose was 14. Afterwards, Rose was put into foster care until her foster parents were killed by the second Ravager. Rose was then trained by her father, Deathstroke who had her best Ravager and take his mantle as her own. Rose turned to being a hero after her father set her up to die. Travelling the world, Rose eventually returned to Gotham where she has become dubbed ‘Batgirl’ by the media.

◼ HISTORY:
A N   H E I R   F O R   A   D E M O N
The origins of Rose Wilson begin in Gotham, several years before she was born with the man by the alias of the Batman. 

During the course of the Batman’s career, he had faced many formidable foes, although none took the same kind of interest in Gotham’s Dark Knight as Ra’s Al Ghul. The Demon’s Head of the League of Assassins, Ra’s Al Ghul held far more international influence than any of Batman’s regular rogue gallery. However, despite how wide-spread the Demon’s plans were, the Detective had always managed to stop him at every turn, earning the respect of Ra’s and the affections of his eldest daughter, Talia. 

Putting the Dark Knight through a series of tests, Ra’s awaited the Detective’s anticipated success. When he was not disappointed, the Demon’s Head offered the Batman his daughter’s hand in marriage and his rightful role as Ra’s own successor as the Demon’s Head. However, Batman refused and escaped Nanda Parbat leaving both Ra’s and Talia scorned.

However, Ra’s youngest daughter, Nyssa Raatko al Ghul, discovered the existence of a man who had bested the Bat in combat, the mercenary known as Deathstroke. Nyssa tracked the mercenary to Cambodia where he was celebrating a recent victory within a brothel. Seducing the mercenary, Nyssa laid with Slade Wilson, shortly after becoming pregnant with his child. Earnest to earn her father’s respect and usurp her sister’s inheritance, Nyssa announced her pregnancy and stated the father to be a man who had bested the Batman. 

Enraged at her half-sister, Talia made an attempt on Nyssa’s life, prompting the younger woman to flee her home in Nanda Parbat. Returning to Cambodia, Nyssa took the alias of Lillian Worth, hiding among the brothel she had met Deathstroke at while nursing the child growing inside her. 

Eventually, Ra’s grew curious about the man who had supposedly defeated the Batman. Locating the mercenary, Ra’s hired Deathstroke to pursue Nyssa. However, Talia had her own private guard follow Deathstroke, ordering them to eliminate both when the mercenary discovered the location of her sister. 

Discovering the pregnant woman, Deathstroke moved to extract her when the brothel came under attack of Talia’s elite guard, the Nagini. Escaping into the jungles of Cambodia with Nyssa, the Nagini left no witnesses to their attack as they exterminated everyone within the brothel.

For the next two weeks, Deathstroke led Nyssa through the jungle as he defended her from attacks of the Nagini until finally the pair managed to escape Cambodia. Deathstroke took Nyssa to the one city on Earth where he knew she would be safe from the reach of Talia and Ra’s al Ghul, Gotham City.

A   Y O U T H   R A V A G E D
It was another decade before Nyssa would see Slade Wilson again. In that span of time, her child was born, a baby girl that Nyssa bestowed the given name of Xia al Ghul. However much like herself, the child was not safe to use her given name and thus was given another, Rose Melisandre Wilson, in honor of her father’s surname. 

Gotham City provided a safe home for Nyssa and her child. While the city was forever under the vigilant eyes of the Batman, Slade Wilson had also assigned his personal confidant, William Wintergreen to watch over Nyssa and her child. But it was Wintergreen’s presence in Gotham that eventually attracted the attention of Deathstroke’s enemies. 

Despite the fact that Deathstroke had denied himself any interaction with his daughter, one of his enemies determined her identity and set out to use Rose against her father. Attacking Wintergreen and leaving him for dead, a rival by the name of Ravager invaded Nyssa’s home, killing her as a message for Slade and abducting fourteen year old Rose before Deathstroke had a chance to intervene. 

With Wintergreen out of commission, Slade was begrudgingly forced to seek the help of Gotham’s Dark Knight, and pair reluctantly worked together to rescue Rose. While the Dark Knight and the Terminator sought Rose’s location, the Ravager tortured the young girl, broadcasting the torture to Slade’s personal network. 

While he tortured Rose, the Ravager revealed to Rose that Deathstroke was her father and when Rose refused to look at the images he presented her of Slade and her mother in Cambodia, the Ravager took her eye. Eventually growing bored of torturing the teenager, Ravager delivered a direct invite to Deathstroke, telling him exactly where to come to save his daughter.

Pretending to be lured into the Ravager’s trap, Deathstroke arrived as instructed while the Batman infiltrated the location undetected, extracting Rose, allowing Deathstroke to defeat and unmask the Ravager. Discovering the man to be a rival by the name of Wade DeFarge, Slade executed the man so that the secret of his daughter died with him.

With Rose safe, Deathstroke had Wintergreen prepare a proper funeral for Nyssa only to discover the body was gone. Knowing Rose’s mother was in the hands of her father, Deathstroke turned Rose over to the Batman so that she could be placed in foster care where neither he, nor Wintergreen, nor Nyssa would know so she could be safe. Relocating the girl to New York City, Rose was placed in the care of Marvin and Nichole Madison.

O V E R   T H E   E D G E
Life with the Madisons was good for Rose as she began to regain some normality to her life after her abduction at the hands of Wade DeFarge. But the psychological trauma had been done, despite the potential the girl showed, she was prone to violence and at times, unstable. The physical trauma suffered had awoken her latent meta-gene which only further added to her instability. 

By the age of sixteen, Rose had begun to show signs of improvement until she return home from school to find her foster parents had been brutally murdered. Dialing the police, Rose found a hand move over her mouth as she began to lose consciousness. Awakening hours later, she awoke to the face of her father who she had never hoped to see again. Informing Rose that her foster parents had been murdered by the latest man to hold the mantle of the Ravager, Slade offered to try the girl so that she could take vengeance for herself. As tears of rage and frustration stung against her cheeks, Rose accepted and began her training under Deathstroke the Terminator. 

Slade subjected Rose to a rigorous training regime, injecting her with a serum known as Mirakulu, the same serum which granted him his own abilities. In conjunction with her metahuman abilities, Rose became a formidable opponent in a short period of time and within six months was hunting the current Ravager. An anonymous source pointed the pair towards Hub City, and so the two left New York and followed the Ravager’s trail.

Allowing Rose to take the lead, Slade watched with pride as his daughter hunted her target. Using everything he had taught her, Rose controlled the situation. The Ravager didn’t go anywhere she didn’t want him to and eventually Rose cornered her foster parents’ murderer at an abandoned warehouse on the Hub City docks. 

Wounding her target with a well placed sniper shot to either leg, Rose descended from the rafters of the warehouse and unmasked the man before her. While she didn’t recognize the face, Slade knew it well. The Ravager was none other than his eldest son, Grant Wilson. Although Slade faltered to give the kill order, Rose took no mercy on her half brother and drove her blade through his heart before beheading the dead body. 

In that moment, Rose became the third Ravager.

E V E R Y   R O S E   H A S   I T S   T H O R N S
Rose would continue to train under Slade, operating as the Ravager to his Deathstroke. Carrying out contracts at his behest, Slade did his best to keep Rose distracted while he tried to piece together who exactly would have Grant attempt to kill Rose. Leaving Rose to her own devices at his New York City safehouse under the watchful eye of Wintergreen, Slade chartered a course to Nanda Parbat where he encountered a resurrected Nyssa al Ghul. Nyssa had hired Grant in order to push Slade to train Rose and Slade had performed adequately, training Rose to surpass her half-brother.

Warning Nyssa not to interfere in his business again, Slade left Nanda Parbat and returned to New York where he resumed training Rose. The pair continue to carry out contracts together and Slade gives Rose her first solo mission when a contact from his pasts reaches out to Slade to request protection. Assigned to the side of Doctor David Isherwood, Rose grows fond of the doctor, harbouring a crush on the older man while learning the complicated history between Isherwood, or ‘Ish’ and her father. 

Ish was the man behind much of Deathstroke’s equipment and for a short while, a hero in his own right until he was forced out of it. Seeing something in Rose that he hadn’t seen in Slade in since his divorce from his first wife, Ish begins to impart values of heroism into Rose unbeknownst to Slade. Realizing Ish was slowly turning his daughter against him, Slade ordered Ish to install a Kryptonite lens over Rose’s ‘blind’ eye and create her a suit akin to his ‘Ikon’ suit in order to fulfill a contract against Metropolis’ Superman. 

Horrified, Ish carries out his orders for fear of Deathstroke’s wrath as he prepares Rose to kill the Man of Steel. But despite Deathstroke’s plans, Ish is able to use Superman’s concern for the safety of not only the bystanders to their conflict, but Rose, herself, as a final lesson on altruism. 

Infuriated that Ish’s actions had botched their contract, Deathstroke turned on his old acquaintance only for Ish to play one final card, Pleading with Rose for aid, Ish reveals that the Kryptonite lens implanted over her eye is not only a danger to Superman and other Kryptonians, but is also carcinogenic and lethal to humans. Enraged and heartbroken that her father would endanger her life so dismissively and emboldened by Ish’s tutelage, Rose broke all ties with her father and ran away.

W H O   R U N S   T H E   W O R L D ?
Striking out on her own, Rose spent the rest of her teenage years making a name for herself. Acting a something of a rougher hero, Rose began to do the only kind of work she knew how to do.

Taking assassination contracts.

But working under the principles instilled in her by Isherwood, Rose acted as a counter-assassin. Protecting those who the hits were put out on. She became a watchful guardian, a silent protector. Occasionally her looser morals were on exhibit as she blackmailed though she protected for compensation, but for the most part, Rose was making a change. Encountering the odd hero, Rose often butted heads due to her use of lethal force, though she would often relent while working with others.

As her network on contacts grew, Rose was the first choice to take on missions that were often swept under the rug due to not being in the public eye. Missions that other heroes were afraid to get into, Rose wasn’t afraid to dive into the seediest underworlds in order to complete a mission.

It was her penchant for this that eventually brought her into direct conflict with her father as Rose ended up on the opposite side of a mission against her father. After a long and bloody conflict, Rose managed to gain the upper hand against Deathstroke and when the opportunity presented itself, Rose did something that Deathstroke never anticipated she would.

She took the kill shot.

Killing Deathstroke brought a form of closure to Rose. There was serenity in knowing he would never be able to hurt her again. Departing the United States, Rose spent numerous years in South America engaging in guerilla warfare against the local cartels before moving abroad and chasing down human trafficking rings through Europe. After several years, Rose finally returned to her first home, Gotham City.

Despite how young Rose had been when she left Gotham, she still remembered the city, the smells and most of all the Batman. It had after all been the Batman who made it possible for her father to rescue her from the Ravager nearly eleven years ago. Abandoning the Ravager mantle, Rose contacted Isherwood to request something special for herself. Donning the new costume, Rose took the skyline of Gotham’s own Burnside. Dubbed the ‘Batgirl’ by the media, Rose now protects Gotham on her terms.

B A T   O F   P R E Y
It didn’t take Rose long to begin to attract the attention of Gotham’s other residents. And while Batman himself may as well have sent a ‘Cease and Desist’ letter to Rose, the new Batgirl managed to find an alley in the like-minded Batwoman. Much like the Batman, the Batwoman didn’t take kindly to another treading on her motif and eventually, the two came to blows while tracking the same spree killer. Fighting to a draw, an agreement was born and the two brought the man to justice alongside one another.

It was after this that Rose received her invitation into the Birds of Prey, a team of similar vigilantes put together by the Batwoman. While Rose’s priority remains to keep her head above the troubled waters in Burnside, she always remains ready to reluctantly assist the Birds when the team is called together.

"What's a girl gotta do to get in a proper brawl around here?"
// ABILITIES:
◼ ENHANCED MENTAL CAPACITIES | Rose inherited her father's metagene, an "unlocked mind." Unlike Deathstroke, Rose's mind takes in large amounts of information and condenses it all into a probability assessment with a margin of error that she perceives as a vision. She then takes steps to keep her vision from coming to pass. Her powers also occasionally trigger in her sleep.

As part of her enhanced mental capacities, Rose has latent psionic tendencies and is able to communicate telepathically with those she bonds with. Furthermore, this grants her immunity to having her mind invaded or controlled by other telepaths and in particular her brother Joseph.

◼ PRECOGNITION | Rose's powers include limited precognition. She is sometimes able to use her precognitive abilities to 'see' her opponent's next moves, mainly when her adrenaline is running. Rose is sometimes able to use her precognitive abilities to "see" her own immediate future, although her visions come and go. These precognitive abilities may blossom into much more in the future.

◼ POWER DAMPENING | Rose's metagene causes her to dampen and reduce the effectiveness of another metahuman's abilities. In particular, this talent seems to specifically target metahumans which possess invulnerability allowing Rose to be able to deliver attacks and indeed wound those who normally would not be felled by conventional weapons.

◼ ENHANCED ATTRIBUTES | Through her father's genetics, Rose inherited the effects of the serum administered to her father, Slade Wilson. This essentially turned her into a super soldier. Her strength, speed, reflexes, durability, healing, etc. all surpass peak human levels. Rose is able to run at speeds of up to thirty miles per hours and long distances far out-performing any Olympic athlete. She possesses a similar strength increase as her father; she can press approximately eleven hundred pounds - ten times her own body weight. Likewise, her reflexes, agility, and senses are well above those of human levels making Rose essentially a living weapon much like her father was. Lastly, Rose possesses an accelerated healing factor, allowing her to survive near-fatal injuries, however, it does not allow her to fully recover from some wounds. This can be seen in her 'blind' eye, nor would Rose be able to regenerate a lost limb.

// SKILLS:
◼ UNARMED COMBAT | Rose is a skilled martial arts expert, having trained under her mother from a young age and both Deathstroke and Nightwing later on. With enhanced agility, speed, strength and endurance thanks to her inherited abilities from Deathstroke, the combination of precognition and a superhuman body leaves Rose a force to be reckoned with. 

◼ WEAPONS MASTER | Rose is very skilled in the use of her arsenal of weapons. Her default weapons are a pair of energy swords originally designed for her by David Isherwood. Capable of cutting through most inorganic materials, the blades are designed to pass through organic materials, administering a shock instead of lacerations. Aside from these weapons, Rose wields conventional swords, various firearms - armed with non-lethal rounds at the behest of Batman, however she's a crack shot capable of taking down targets with live ammunition without killing them, and lastly a bo-staff on rare occasions. However, Rose is a pragmatist at heart and it seems to matter little what weapon she is given as chances are that she'll be able to use it.

// WEAKNESSES:
◼ AMBUSH | Rose's enhanced mental abilities can only calculate the probability of that which she can see. While she may be able to detect a trap and calculate the best way to avoid it, an unseen opponent or a straight ambush will catch her unaware, requiring her to catch up before she can use her abilities effectively. As such, she won't be able to immediately counter attack, leaving her open to injury if not death.

◼ HUMANITY | Despite being a metahuman with notable enhancements, Rose is still as fragile as a normal human. While this is compensated for via her armor, Rose stills needs to breathe air, eat food and rest. Caught off-guard and unprotected, it would potentially only take a single bullet to the head to kill Rose as a fatal wound is something even she can't recover from.

◼ MENTAL PROGRAMMING | Originally, Slade sought to control his daughter, and inflicted mental programming upon her, allowing him to manipulate and control his daughter with selective keywords. While several of the world's best experts have done their best to remove this mental programming, most of it remains due to Rose's immunity to telepathic invasion. As a closed off person, it is difficult for her to willing open her mind to the invasion required to remove the programming, thus there are keywords which exist that can cause Rose to turn on her allies or even fall unconscious.

◼ TEMPERAMENT | Rose's brash and often impulsive temperment can often times get the better of her. While she tries to be the master strategist and level headed commander her father was, even in her twenties, Rose has a lot of emotional baggage to work out making her often a volatile hothead.

// CHARACTER EVOLUTION:
◼ FULL PRECOGNITION | One of my ideas for Rose's character evolution is that her abilities continue to grow with her. Eventually, I'd like to be able to have her precognition blossom into a much more active ability, allowing her to see the future and almost act as a prophet for any potential team or ally, angling them into a more proactive position rather than the currently reactive position most heroes have against crime.

◼ TELEPATHY | Another ability I'd like to be able to have Rose develop is that of telepathy. I've laid the seeds, but I would love to see her eventually come into her own command of her psionic abilities, starting with full telepathy. With this ability, and my desire to see her lead a team of her own, she'd be able to make an excellent field coordinator.

◼ LIMITED TELEKINESIS | An extension of her developing psionics, I thought Rose could benefit from limited telekinesis down the road, if for nothing more than to make her already impressive combat prowess a bit more 'showy' and add some variety to how exactly she can use weaponry.

◼ TEAM RELATIONSHIPS | An initially closed off person, Rose has dealt with a lot of betrayal over her life and expects the people who come into it to soon live once they've gotten whatever it is they were after. For this reason, I'd like to see Rose develop relationships with the team, primarily friendship though if the chemistry is there, potentially romantic.

◼ LEADERSHIP ROLES | Adding to her relationships, I'd like to see Rose grow to the point where the team trusts her enough to follow her instincts and instructions. I'd like to see Rose lead in the field, and direct a team on various missions in combat.

◼ A SENSE OF FAMILY | The ultimate culmination of her building of relationships, I'd like for Rose to finally have a family. People she looks up to, can go to for advice and who will just be there for her through the good and the bad.

◼ LOSS, LOVE AND A LONGING TOWARDS THE FUTURE | Over the course of the RP, I am looking for Rose to grow emotionally, dealing with loss, whether it be teammates, friends or something else that she values, to love and its struggles and eventually to Rose growing into her own, shedding her father's shadow and perhaps becoming someone, or something else.

▼ S T O R Y   A R C S:

"People define others by their actions. Not by the context of those actions, and not at all by the reasons for them."
◼ THE BATGIRL OF BURNSIDE | There's a new hero in town and the media have dubbed her Batgirl. Stepping on the toes of other established heroes, Rose Wilson has decided to take a piece of the Gotham pie for herself, Batman and Batwoman be damned. She's a new breed of firmer, harder hero and she's here to dish out some vigilante justice the criminals of Gotham won't soon walk off. But punching your way to answers won’t do any good when an arsonist starts causing trouble in Burnside and no one can get a good look at him, or her.

◼ SUCKER PUNCH | Sometimes a girl just wants to stay home and enjoy a nice whiskey on the rocks, other times vampires attack the city. When the undead appear in Gotham, Rose quickly finds herself overwhelmed prompting her to call in some backup.

◼ BATGIRL: WANTED | When a notorious crime-lord is found dead, all clues point to the Batgirl. But she's innocent, she swears (No really, have you heard this girl speak? She swears a lot!). It's up to Rose and any friends she has left to prove her innocence and bring the real killer to justice.

◼ CAN'T TAKE A HIT | Burnside is awash in drugs, the latest of which seems to be a cocktail of Gotham's favourites. A mix of Joker's Giddy Laughing Gas, Scarecrow's Thrill and Bane's Venom, has the population hopped up on a high they aren't ever coming down from. How's Batgirl supposed to get some answers if no one can feel their face?

◼ UNWORTHY | Realizing her daughter has become the Batgirl, Nyssa enlists the aid of Lady Shiva to test her daughter’s martial progress. As Burnside suddenly finds itself flooded in ninjas, Batgirl is forced to face them alone when her allies are unable to assist.

◼ SOME DAYS YOU CAN’T GET RID OF A BOMB | With Rose’s location known to the al Ghuls, Talia sends her own heir to Gotham to challenge Rose. While her niece is distracted, Talia sets in motion a terrorist attack that threatens not only all of Burnside, but all of Gotham.

◼ BEYOND BURNSIDE| Faced with the realization she is the not only the daughter of Deathstroke the Terminator, but an heir to the Demon’s Head, Batgirl takes it upon herself to leave Gotham behind and travel the globe to put a stop to her Grandfather’s operations.

▼ S U P P O R T I N G   C A S T:

"A monster. With a Canadian accent. Justin Bieber kidnapped Deathstroke."
//ALLIES:
◼ DEATHSTROKE THE TERMINATOR | Deathstroke, aka Slade Wilson is Rose's biological father. A mercenary by trade, he makes the list of the 'Years Worst Fathers' for about twenty five years running. He was either absent most of Rose's life or manipulating her into carrying out plans for his own agenda. Last Rose saw of him was when she put a bullet in his skull. Status: Presumed Dead.

◼ NYSSA AL GHUL | Nyssa al Ghul, or Nyssa Raakto, or Lillian Worth, is the youngest daughter of Ra's al Ghul and the half sister of Talia al Ghul. When Talia was unable to secure the Batman as a husband nor produce a worthy heir to the Demon's Head, Nyssa sought out an equal in the form of Slade Wilson. Unfortunately, her jealous sister tried to have her murdered causing her to flee Nanda Parbat and live in exile until her death in Gotham City. As Deathstroke knows, and took to his grave, Nyssa however is alive and well, living once again in Nanda Parbat. Status: Alive, but Presumed Dead.

◼ DAVID ISHERWOOD |  Doctor David Isherwood, or Ish, was once the Superhero known as Ikon. Using technology to replicate superpowers, his secrets were uncovered by Deathstroke leading to Ish being blackmailed into creating weapons and equipment for the Terminator. He was eventually put in the protective custody of Rose whom he was able to instill the values of heroism into leading to his release from Deathstroke's service. Now Ish helps the superhero community and more specifically Rose. Status: Alive.

◼ WILLIAM WINTERGREEN | William Randolph Wintergreen, more commonly referred to as simply Wintergreen is Deathstroke's oldest friend and sadly the closest thing Rose ever had to a father. Wintergreen organized and maintained Deathstroke's contacts and contracts for the mercenary and hasn't been seen since Deathstroke's apparent death. Status: Presumed Alive.

◼ KAR’A ZOR-EL | Kar’a Zor-El, aka Supergirl, the Last Daughter of Krypton, the Maiden of Might, Super-Skirt or simply ‘Doll’ to Rose. Kar’a came to Gotham seeking answers about her cousin, approaching the Batgirl under the belief she would be easier to talk to than the Bat. Unfortunately for her, Rose is not affiliated with the Batman and spent most of the encounter flirting with the leggy blonde.

//ROGUES:

"Oh, quit whining. You're still alive, aren't you?"
◼ BATSUIT | For the time being, this is the best visual representation of Rose's Batsuit. However I do picture it using the cape from this one and a cowl more based on this design. In terms of colours, I see Rose's Batsuit has having orange instead of yellow and being a combination of black and navy blue instead of the grays that the Batfamily are usually fond of.

The suit itself combines Rose’s usual armory with some basic gadgets and elements of the Ikon Suits worn by Jericho, Isherwood and Deathstroke. This means that the suit compliments Rose’s impressive physical prowess while allowing her to carry what she would need on a regular basis. As a standard armament, Rose carries four handguns and two short swords. This can be changed depending on the needs of the situation if she has time to prepare for a fight.

While Rose has been using a proto-type designed by Ish, he’s currently in the progress of updating the design in order to rectify some of its flaws. The new costume will be designed to adapt to different situations. In its base configuration, ‘Covert’ the suit appears as nothing more than elaborate biker wear, once Rose activates ‘Pursuit’ mode however, the suit modifies itself, deploying the cowl’s ears, the cape and other armaments. Most notably is the appearance of the Bat-symbol on Rose’s chest as becomes visible. The last stage is the ‘Knightmare’ stage, in this mode, Rose’s cowl closes over her mouth, the ears extending taller and her visor ignites in a red glow. Her cape nearly doubles in length, surrounding her body as several armor plates move and realign to give Rose an overall more demonic look.

This suit is planned to be introduced upon the completion of ‘Batgirl: Wanted’.

◼ BURNSIDE | A recently re-developed borough in Gotham City, Burnside was originally named Somerset before the events of 2011 left the area consumed in fire. While the borough is still officially known as Somerset, the name Burnside has caught on and is the local colloquialism when referring to the borough. 

Known for attracting Gotham’s young adults, Burnside is an upbeat and lively neighborhood not unlike San Francisco’s Castro District or Hell’s Kitchen of New York City. The influx of youth however has brought along numerous recreational drugs causing Gotham’s scum to follow and peddle their wares. The increase of trafficking in Burnside has directly correlated with the growth of violent crime in recent years and the borough has devolved into its own special hive of scum and villainy.

◼ SAILING | Rose enjoys sailing as a hobby, she finds it relaxing and enjoys how being on the water constantly keeps her in motion.

Tuesday, October 30ST - 10:33 PM | Miramundo Rainforest - Chalatenango

The forest was eerily quiet. All that could be heard was the rumble of the convoy making its way slowly down the overgrown roads. The sobs of several women hung in the back, a particularly loud cry was cut off by a yelp, the echo of flesh on flesh rang out through the mist-laden forest. Normally, they would be free to travel the roads, but recently a she-devil, a costumed bruja had been cutting into their shipments. Just last week, three convoys were stopped, their contents escaped and returned back to their families and loved ones in the United States. Normally the capes didn't bother with the operations of the Jaguar, but for some reason, somehow they had caught the eye of this one.

Extinguishing a cigarette on the dashboard of the truck, the driver sat back in his seat attempting to relax before he shot up straight as a board. His foot slammed the brakes to the floor, the convoy skidding to a stop while the truck behind was forced to swerve to avoid rear-ending the first. Shrieks came from the back of both vehicles as the women inside were tossed around by the sudden jerking movement. Before the driver could even undo his seat-belt, the butt of a rifle was tapping on his window before the door was angrily hauled open.

"Why de 'ell did you stop!" The dark skinned man yelled at him as the driver meekly pointed towards a large tree felled across the road. Swatting a mosquito that had landed on his neck, the other man's lip curled up in disgust before he put his hand to his mouth and whistled.

"Alright, get de saws." He ordered, two other men climbing out of the back of the truck while he circled behind it. The assault rifle in his hands pointing from woman to woman as he shone the tactical flashlight into the back, a clear warning to those inside. Anyone attempting to escape would be killed, or worse.

The silence of the night was quickly broken by the roar of chainsaws as the two men powered up the tools and approached the tree. Bending down to begin at the stump, one of the men stumbled backwards in surprise, noticing the fresh cuts to the trunk, the tree hadn't been felled by natural means. Turning to call to the others, barely a word made it out of his mouth before the blade of energy sword burst through his chest. Live current running through his body as he slumped to the ground unconscious. 

Unable to hear the struggle of his companion over the sound of his own saw, the other man didn't even notice the woman dressed in black and orange as she raised a gun towards him and fired the tranquilizer dark without even looking. Dropping to the ground, the saw disengaged as the other man joined his partner in a very deep slumber.

Noticing the sudden lack of noise, the leader of the group poked his head out from behind the truck before he called towards the first driver.

"Is it too much to hope, de idiots already cleared de tree." He spat venomously. Firing into the air to give off a warning, he walked forward. "This isa de night you die bruja."

A soft thud could be heard from behind the man, catching him off guard as the woman spoke.

"I don't fuckin' think so." The man was blown off his feet as the woman raised her gun, firing a single rocksalt round into his chest from a special modification. Watching his boss fly to the ground, the driver turned to run while the other men quickly climbed out the truck, scrambling for their weapons.

Rose Wilson, the Ravager.

Formerly a Teen Titan, forever damned to be the daughter of Deathstroke the Terminator. Rose had left the rooftops of Gotham, Metropolis and San Francisco behind for this. The feeling of being alive, the feeling of for one time, doing something right with her life. She was the hero of the downtrodden and the scourge of the underworld and there was nothing in her that could bring her to deny that she loved every moment of it. 

The night was illuminated by gunfire as assault weapons rang out but the girl was never where she had been when her assailants pulled the trigger. The steady hum of the energy swords gave away her position with each swing while she closed in, the blades cutting through the guns as though she was running her finger though a pool of water. It was easy, and it graceful.

And it was over far too quickly.

An adrenaline junkie at heart, Rose's chest pounded up and down, her bosom swelling with each breath she took, standing in victory over the pile of broken men. With a quick twirl of the swords, she deactivate the blades and returned the hilts to the back of her waist, drawing one of the conventional swords off her back as she approached the now stirring leader.

"Please, please call me a bitch like it's a bad thing." Rose said, reaching down and grabbing the dark skinned man before holding him up by his throat against the door of the convoy truck. "Who are you working for?"

"F-f-fuck..." He choked before spitting blood. "You!" Flinching, the blood laden saliva landed on her mask. Driving her sword through the man's shoulder, Rose listened in satisfaction to the shattering of glass as it told her the blade gone through. Cries of agony filled the night sky, the man pinned on the blade struggling with no avail.

"Same question as before, and I'd answer it this time." Rose stated, twisting the hilt of the blade.

"S-same answer." The man managed to reply, smiling wide, his teeth stained red. Growling, Rose pulled back the sword as she dropped the man to the ground. He stumbled while he fought to regain his footing only for the blade to swing. He barely felt a thing until the subtle 'THUD' of his hand hitting the ground causing him to look towards the bleeding stump on the end of his arm. Cold metal was suddenly pressed against his groin as Rose slammed him against the truck again, this time with a hand around his throat and her gun pressed to his manhood.

"You seem to like thinking with this, perhaps it knows the answer." Rose's smile was filled with anything but mirth as she spoke. The man tried to squirm but her strength held him firmly in place.

"The J-jaguar. We work for the Jaguar." 

"Then I hope the Jaguar knows he's a dead man." Rose replied tossing the man back to the ground, his shirt tearing off. The muzzle of her gun lit up twice, the shots ringing out through the jungle as she placed a bullet in either of his knees. "Thirty mile walk back to town. I hope it was worth it." She spat tossing the shredded shirt back to the man. "And I'd wrap that quickly, don't want you to bleed out." She added, sheathing her weapons.

A light illuminated the jungle floor as a VTOL plane descended upon the scene. Opening the back of the trucks, Rose motioned for the captured women to exit while the plane lowered a platform to the ground. Dozens of thank you's and other blessings were whispered towards Rose as the battered prisoners ran to the platform. Giving the all clear, Rose watched the platform rise into the sky before the plane turned back towards the United States. Walking away from the scene, Rose haphazardly tossed a grenade over her shoulder as the trucks exploded moments later. The heat of the explosion warmed her back while Rose triumphantly walked away from the scene before muttering to herself.

"Always wanted to do that."

"Because, I'm Batman"
~Batman, probably

B A C K S T O R Y:
The death of SUPERMAN was the shot heard around the world. 

For several hours before his death, the Man of Steel had been locked in bloody conflict with a monstrous creature the media had only dubbed one thing;

DOOMSDAY.

No one knew where it had came from. The only indication it had come was a pod crashing into the pacific just off the coast of California. Hauled out of the water, it was carbon dated and determined to be old, very old. But no one anticipated anything was alive inside of it.

When the creature had ripped through Coast City, the League had immediately mobilized to intercept. Unfortunately, they had no idea what they were dealing with and moments after first contact, the world watched its heroes fall. The GREEN LANTERN was the first to go, the monster biting off his hand, swallowing his ring whole before Guy’s still beating heart was ripped from his chest. 

Shayera was next to fall, her wings ripped from her back before HAWKGIRL'S skull was collapsed beneath the heel of the beast. Holding the beast off, WONDER WOMAN managed to slow the creature, delivering a mortal blow. Unfortunately it was too early to celebrate as the creature evolved, reviving and attacking Diana. Unable to ward off the onslaught of the enraged beast, Diana soon fell to its attacks as the FLASH escaped to regroup with the rest of the League.

Leaving a trail of destruction across the country, the creature became more and more unstoppable with every attack made against it. The military, TITANS and even stray vigilantes did their best to slow its progress, but the creature had a clear goal and destination.

Metropolis. 

The call went out from the League for any available heroes to rendezvous with them as they stood to hold the line in Metropolis. Superman rallied the heroes as the remaining League stood by his side. But it wasn’t enough.

With relative ease, the creature took both Flash and MARTIAN MANHUNTER out of the fight. While they were spared due to the efforts of Gotham’s BATMAN, the Dark Knight soon found the limit of his mortality. Outraged at the loss of his friends and allies, Superman called the heroes off and decided to finish the fight alone. Blow after blow was exchanged, Superman’s solar reserves wearing thin as the creature only seemed to grow stronger. Finally in an act of desperation, Superman took a hold of the creature, lifting it into the air as he flew towards the atmosphere. Its spiked body piercing his skin, fatally wounding the Man of Tomorrow as he hurled the beast into the vacuum of space. 

Drained of his solar reserves and unable to recharge, Superman plummeted back towards the Earth, the impact with the ground the final blow to the Kryptonian. It was in that moment a hush seemed to fall over the entire globe at once. In a matter of a few hours, the majority of the Justice League had been decimated, Coast City was nearly a crater and both Gotham and Metropolis were left without their guardians.

P R E M I S E:
In the aftermath of the Doomsday Event, J’onn and Barry were left to rebuild the League. The first recruit was the Batman’s protégé, Dick Grayson, Blüdhaven’s NIGHTWING. Gotham’s BLACK CANARY and Star City’s GREEN ARROW were also recruited. Surviving Titan, STARFIRE was also promoted to League status while CYBORG opted to stay in San Francisco and lead and train a new generation of Titans. But the League is still drastically under-powered compared to where it had been. As such, recruiting has been left open in hopes they can come to together to protect the world from whatever threats that may still be out there.

As a player, you will be able to take the role of any of the surviving members of the DC UNIVERSE, whether portraying them as close to canon as the RP’s premise will permit or through reinvention. Additionally, if you would prefer, you are free to submit an Original Character so long as they have the feel and tone of the RP and DC Universe. Players will be relegated to ONE HERO1 player character to start, but as the IC continues, committed players will be welcomed to create additional characters, even portraying VILLAINS2. 

While the only GM established teams will be the Justice League and the (Teen) Titans at the start of the RP, players are encouraged to create and bring in other DC Comic teams or even create their own. Collaborating on teams is highly encouraged as the lifeblood of role-playing is player collaboration.

1 - Heroes is an all encompassing term referring to characters whose actions are generally positive. This does include anti-heroes like Jason Todd, it does not include anti-villains like Deathstroke.
2 -  Villains will be allowed after at least the first arc, whether all encompassing or individual player arcs, are completed as per GM discretion. Some villains may be claimed by players of the GM staff for ongoing or upcoming plots and it is requested that applicants be respectful of that but also that players consider others when outlining plots and not lay claim to too many characters at once. A player-driven villain will be given precedence over a supporting cast member but it is asked that the player consider any established history when applying as a villain. For example, a Joker player should not ignore anything outlined by a Barbara Gordon player.

"You know what I like about rich kids?"

▼ A P P E A R A N C E:

"Are we here to chat, or to play ball?"
//STATS:
◼ HEIGHT | 5' - 8" (~173cm)

◼ WEIGHT | 156 lbs (~71 kg)

◼ ETHNICITY | Caucasian

◼ EYE COLOUR | Blue (Red when Abilities are in use)

◼ HAIR COLOUR | Blonde/Light Brown

◼ SCARS | Aiden has numerous scars on his body, primarily focused on his torso and arms. Although most have faded and healed, there are a number of them that are still quite evident when Aiden lift up his shirt.

//DESCRIPTION:
Often playing the part of the stoic, Aiden is always the last person to enter a room and the first to leave. A teen of few words, but many actions, he prefers not to waste time and effort on idle conversation cutting to the point immediately. 

Prone to dressing in layers, Aiden usually layers a tank top with either an open hoodie or collared shirt under his trademark leather jacket. During school spirit days, he can be coaxed into wearing his letterman jacket, although he prefers not to do so on a regular basis due to the unnecessary attention it draws. Always a fan of baggy, straight-legged jeans, Aiden is never seen in shorts unless caught in his boxers. His favourite footwear is a pair of steel-toed high-topped boots, although he can be found wearing Converse hightops during warmer weather and even on rare occasions, flip-flops. Around his waist is always a thick leather belt, bearing a heavy dual clasp buckle. 

Aiden prefers to remain clean shaven, keeping his hair short and often tousled as he rarely applies product due to his frequency of wearing helmets and the occasional black ballcap. Due to his athletic abilities, Aiden has maintained a healthy and toned physique. Generally, consider attractive, his body boasts a fair amount of muscle befitting of someone who is a regular athlete.

▼ B I O G R A P H Y:

"My sister looks after me, that's all you need to know."

Born to the North End of Crestwood Hollow, Aiden’s life didn’t get off on the right foot. His father, Lucas walked out after his birth, leaving Aiden’s mother Harper, to struggle with postpartum depression leading to her slide into alcoholism. Aiden was left in the care of his eight-year-old sister, Vanessa, who provided the infant Aiden the support he needed, while their mother became more neglectful and verbally abusive with each bottle she drank. 

Unable to hold down a job due to her spiraling habits, Aiden’s mother began to sell her body, which led to a seemingly endless parade of different ‘suitors’ coming into their home. The ever-revolving door of men opening the pair of children to abuse which their mother never failed to notice.

When Aiden was eight, one of his mother’s gentleman callers attempted to force himself on Vanessa. Seeing his sister in distress, Aiden flew into a blind rage. While the boy was physically no match for his sister’s assailant, the yelling and screaming were enough to alert a nearby autonomous patrol car.

It was at this point that Child Services was forced to step in. While Vanessa fought for her right to be emancipated, Aiden was sent to live with his Uncle Tim and older cousin James. While Tim did a good job of putting food in front of Aiden, he was little more than caregiver having little interest in Aiden as a person. Thankfully James, or rather, Jimmy, was more than happy to have Aiden tag along. 

With only a three year age difference between them, Jimmy taught Aiden how to be a Northside Boy, and it didn’t take long before Aiden started tagging along with Jimmy as the older boy was inducted into the Northside’s resident gang, the Sons of Salem. 

Being the youngest one around didn’t go well for Aiden as he suffered at the hands of the other boys. Constantly bullied and picked upon, he was punched and belittled at every turn and because of this, Aiden was never considered to be an actual candidate for the Sons of Salem. By the age of thirteen, Aiden was at his breaking point and decided to prove himself. Unfortunately for Aiden, he attempted to steal a car was quickly foiled and the boy found himself quickly in a youth detention center.

Sitting across from a public defender was the dose of reality that Aiden needed and he soon found himself living with his older sister once again. Now twenty-one, Vanessa and her fiance, Michael, were able to take custody of Aiden on the condition that he complete a community-based rehabilitation program. Agreeing, the terms were set and Aiden was free to go. 

Between the rehabilitation program and seeing how far his sister had come from living in the Tracks made Aiden realize that he wanted to be able to leave Crestwood Hollow when the time came. While he was a sharp kid, Aiden knew he couldn’t compete with some of the other students and so when the time came to start high school, Aiden threw himself into the school’s athletic programs.

By his sophomore year, Aiden had managed to become the Mather Memorial Ravens’ quarterback, point guard and goalie, rotating through football, basketball and ice hockey as the seasons changed. Under the direction of the school’s aging coach, Thomas Clark, Aiden had managed to give himself a fighting chance for a full ride scholarship. 

Now entering his junior year, Aiden is hoping to begin to attract the attention of college scouts, but despite his new lease on life, his vices are not completely gone. Aiden houses a lot of deep-rooted issues and has a long way to go before he can surpass the influence of succumbing to his upbringing in the Tracks.

▼ A B I L I T I E S / S K I L L S:

"Light 'em up!"
//ABILITIES:
◼ OPTICAL ENERGY MANIFESTATION | Through the absorption of ultraviolet radiation such as sunlight, Aiden's body has the ability to metabolize the radiation and expel it through his mutated corneas converted to thermal energy. This thermal energy can be ejected from the eyes in one of two ways, as concussive blasts or as a continuous beam.

When fired as a concussive blast, Aiden can either release these blasts singularly or in rapid succession. The size and speed can all be controlled through manipulation of his eyelids, although Aiden lacks such fine motor controls. The temperature of his ability is variable with the Aiden's maximum peak output reaching 1510 degrees Celsius (2750°F) which is even capable melting through solid steel. 

Aiden however, has a current peak temperate of 100°C (212°F), the temperature at which water boils, and while he can reach this temperature, he cannot maintain it due to the strain it puts on his body. While Aiden can't currently force his ability to burn any hotter than a hundred degrees Celsius, extended training and practice would eventually raise the temperature of the target higher than the above numbers.

Like the temperature, Aiden controls the force behind each concussive blast. He can simply radiate heat from his eyes or, Aiden can put up to enough force to easily lift a man of roughly 90 kilograms (200 lbs) into the air. At an absolute maximum, Aiden could be able to offset an airborne half tonne truck. That said, due to the strain Aiden can't consistently manage that level of force. 

Furthermore, the width and diameter of Aiden's blasts and beams have an effect. A focused narrow beam is more likely to cut through a target where a wide-spread blast will push back or knock down a target. As with the temperature and pressure, Aiden has the potential to control the size of his beams, whether they're small precision blasts or a wide, large blast for a maximum area of effect. Currently, he lacks the understanding and practice to successfully manipulate his eyelids in the manner required for such fine control. Due to this, he can only fire a generic blast or beam.

While Aiden's optic blasts can be fired anywhere within his vision's range, the solid beams can actually be bent and curved by his own will as opposed to simply reflect or refract off of mirrored surfaces. To this extent, Aiden can literally chase a target with his optic beams as long as they are within eyesight. Due to his inexperience with his abilities, he has yet to discover or even attempt such a feat.

◼ ENHANCED EPIDERMIS | Compared with a mundane human, Aiden's epidermis is unique in the fact that while it absorbs ultraviolet radiation, it also is able to displace energy, spreading the point of impact in order to reduce damage. As such, Aiden has partial immunity to his own abilities as any attacks redirected will affect him at a lesser rate. When hit with an energy-based attack, Aiden's skin cells are able to absorb part of the blow before displacing the rest evenly along a larger surface to reduce harm.

◼ ENHANCED EQUILIBRIUM | Due to the force of his abilities, Aiden's sense of equilibrium is enhanced allowing him to maintain near perfect balance even while projecting the maximum amount of force from his eyes. This subtle ability has allowed him to excel in various athletic abilities while remaining relatively undetected.

//SKILLS:
◼ ATHLETE | Aiden is a passionate member of the Mather Memorial Ravens and holds key positions on the football, basketball, and ice hockey teams. A well-rounded athlete, Aiden possess impressive, endurance, stamina, speed and strength and is hoping to continue to refine his skills in order to begin to attract scouts during the remainder of his high school career.

◼ STREET SMART | While not a gifted academic, Aiden understands people well for someone his age and is generally able to navigate most social situations, albeit he's not exactly a black tie event kind of kid but he does maintain a certain rugged charm even when found in an offputting situation.

◼ PRAGMATIST | Due to the severity of the laws regarding Hyperhuman Abilities, Aiden would be the last person to ever rely on his and years of running with the wrong and tough crowd have taught him how to fight, how to fight smart, and how to fight dirty. Aiden is not above being an opportunist and will take a cheap shot if it wins him the fight.

◼ PAIN THRESHOLD | Due to years of abuse under his mother, her clients and his cousin, Aiden has developed a rather high threshold for pain. He often doesn't notice when he's been cut and minor bruises go undetected for weeks. In a fit, Aiden relies on being able to take more hits than the other guy due to his prolonged exposure to being slapped, punched, kicked and generally assaulted throughout his youth.

//LIMITATIONS:
◼ FIELD OF VISION | Aiden's abilities hinder his vision while in use. Each blast he fires is a moment when the world is completely distorted in a burst of brilliant colour. This is even worst when emitting a beam attack as his vision is almost completely obstructed leaving him open to attacks. This is particularly exploitable when you realize that Aiden's own attacks can be redirected back at him and are completely able to injure him though to a lesser extent than the intended target due to Aiden's enhanced epidermis.

◼ FINITE ENERGY | Aiden's energy levels are not finite and overuse will leave Aiden complete drained, possibly even unconscious. In order to recharge his optic powers, Aiden requires rest and sustenance and most importantly prolonged exposure to ultraviolet radiation.

◼ HEAT RESISTANCE | Despite being able to project the high temperatures produced by his own abilities, Aiden is still susceptible to injury from his optic blast if he were to sustain maximum temperature in a continuous beam for a prolonged period. This would likely leave him with severe burns to his body and potentially permanently blinded.

◼ REDIRECTION | While Aiden's attacks are difficult to reflect, certain mirrored surfaces are capable of doing so. Additionally, some glass structures are also capable of refracting his attacks thus altering their path and potentially making Aiden miss his intended target.

//WEAKNESSES:
◼ ADDICTION | While potentially hereditary, Aiden suffers from an addictive personality. Habits, both vices, and virtuous are incredibly easy for Aiden to pick up. Currently, he's addicted to smoking, never found without a pack of cigarettes. But both Aiden and his sister know it's basically a gateway for him. He's particularly afraid of drinking alcohol due to his mother.

◼ LIMITED RESISTANCE | While Aiden's enhanced epidermis is designed to ward off energy based assaults, it's still as equally vulnerable to knives and gunfire. It pierces the same as any other humans and provides no additional protection against physical assault beyond Aiden's own conditioning.

◼ ULTRAVIOLET DEPRAVATION | As Aiden's abilities run on a finite energy level, robbing him of a chance to recharge can render him powerless. Due to this, Aiden must conserve attacks during periods of darkness, including night and indoors if there are no windows nearby.

▼ N O T E S:

"People leave, it's what they do."
//SUPPORTING CAST:
▼ ALLIES

◼ THOMAS CLARK |Thomas Clark is the head coach at Mather Memorial Highschool, overseeing all of the school's athletics although his passion project is and always has been the football team. In many ways he's Aiden's confident and Aiden looks to him to fill the void of a father figure.

▼ FAMILY

◼ LUCAS ROTH |Aiden's father, Aiden has never met the man due to him walking out while Aiden was younger. Having only seen his father in photographs, Aiden is under the impression that he and Vanessa share a father, but his mother never confirmed nor denied this.

◼ HARPER ROTH |Harper, or as she's better known, Honey, is Aiden's mother. Honey is a nickname from a first boyfriend and it stuck, becoming the common name for her in the Tracks community. An alcoholic, her drinking binges led her to become neglectful and verbally abusive towards her children, a primary reason towards the abuse suffered by her children. Aiden hasn't been in contact with his mother since he was taken away despite Child Services' numerous attempts to arrange meetings while Aiden was in the care of his uncle.

◼ TIMOTHY MURRAY|Timothy Murray, or simply, 'Uncle Tim' to Aiden is a resident of the Tracks, the roughest part of Crestwood Hollow. While he's not an active participant of the Sons of Salem he is an alley to the biker gang and is protected by the group through his son. Despite taking Aiden in after the boy was taken from his mother, Timothy does not have strong feelings about Aiden and only did so out of obligation to his sister.

◼ VANESSA ROTH |Vanessa, or 'Nessie' as Aiden affectionately referred to her when he was younger, was Aiden's primary caretaker. Eight years older than Aiden, she fought for emancipation the day she turned sixteen. Vanessa's drive to succeed in life was exceptional as she lied about her age, gaining her first job at a local diner at the age of thirteen. Living on her own from sixteen on, Vanessa eventually met her future fiance, Calvin Jones and the pair moved in together before Vanessa came full circle and took in Aiden once again after his arrest.

▼ FRIENDS

◼ CALVIN JONES |Calvin Jones is Vanessa's fiance. The pair met at while attending the local community college together and immediately hit it off after finding common ground at a board game cafe. While Aiden was initially cold towards Calvin, he began to relax when he realized that Cal was taking a more hands-off approach to their relationship, letting Aiden come to him and not imposing himself as a big brother.

◼ MATHER MEMORIAL HIGH RAVENS |As a member of the high school's football, basketball and ice hockey teams, Aiden is friends or at least on friendly terms with his teammates. There's an unspoken sense of comradery between the teams and they often help Aiden if he starts to slip back into his old habits. The sense of friendliness extends beyond the teams Aiden belongs to and to the rest of Mather's athletic teams.

▼ ENEMIES

◼ JAMES MURRAY |James Murray, or Jimmy is Aiden's older cousin and the son of Timothy Murray. As a member of the Sons of Salem, James is part of Crestwood's climbing crime rate. As part of Aiden's conviction, he gave up the names of several members of the Sons of Salem, because of this, Jimmy and several of the younger members of the Sons of Salem did time in a juvenile detention hall. Ever since Jimmy has sworn revenge on Aiden.

◼ SONS OF SALEM |Crestwood Hollow's largest and most notorious gang, the Sons of Salem operate in the Tracks and basically control the small district. Under the guidance of Jimmy, Aiden was set to join the gang despite their cruelty towards him, until his effort to impress the gang when askew. The fallout of this made Aiden an enemy of the gang as he gave up the names of several members in order to lighten his sentence.

//STOMPING GROUNDS
◼ THE TRACKS | The Northside of Crestwood Hollow is known for being poorer and rougher than the South, but the Tracks are the poorest and roughest of the entire city. Generally immune to the influence of City Council, the Tracks are primarily run by the Sons of Salem and many propositions have been made on how to eradicate the Tracks in order to rebuild.

◼ CRESTWOOD RAILYARD | A massive shipping depot, the Railyard sits on the harbor, receiving shipping containers directly from incoming ships before sending them East along the rails. The Railyard also has a trucking depot due to rail becoming less common. The trucking depot most commonly is used to either deliver directly within the city itself or to the airport to be flown out. Aiden currently works at the Railyard, acting as a packer in the evenings and weekends to ensure he's not freeloading at Vanessa and Cal's place.

◼ THE OLD BAG | A bar located in the Tracks, it's owned and operated by the Sons of Salem making it a rather rough establishment and not one that you want to accidentally walk into. The drinks are watered down and the alcohol is more often used to treat bullet wounds than it is for drinking. The Old Bag is instantly recognizable by the line of motorcycles that seems to perpetually sit outside the establishment.

//PARAPHERNALIA
◼ CIGARETTES | Aiden is rarely without a pack of cigarettes on his person. While not a chain-smoker by any means, he lights a cigarette up on a regular base, generally before and after school unless he's stressed out in which case he starts going through packs like no other.

◼ FLIP PHONE | While it may not be the cutting edge of technology, Aiden's personal cell is an older flip phone. Simple and practical, it can make calls and it can text and most important of all it's cheap. Durable and capable of taking a beating, Aiden can often be seen fidgeting with it when bored.

◼ LIGHTER | An antique Zippo lighter, it's been decorated with Royal Airforce logo and by Vanessa's estimates, the lighter itself is from World War II. Supposedly it's been passed down from father to son for generations but that came from his mother and both Aiden and Vanessa consider it unreliable. Atop the RAF logo, a glyph has been inscribed and on the back is tally which Aiden assumes to be the amount of Nazis the original owner assumes. At least, that's the story he tells his friends.

◼ SWITCHBLADE | A simple spring-loaded knife, Aiden picked up the havit of carrying one from living in the Tracks for the majority of his youth. Due to this, Aiden is never without his switchblade, always keeping the weapon concealed on his person at all times. Although he never lets anyone know he carries it, hiding the weapon from even Vanessa. When feeling defensive or threatened, Aiden can be seen towards the weapon subconsciously.

C R E S T W O O D   H O L L O W || Est. 1684

Situated along the Eastern Coast of the United States between Hampton and Portsmouth, Crestwood Hollow is a small New Hampshire city originally founded in the 1684, shortly before the infamous Witch Trials. Settled in the fertile Orlaith Valley, the city is home to a large rural area, boasting a very fruitful agricultural industry. The largest export of the city is the Golden Delicious Apple. Beyond the valley lies densely populated forests of oak, maple and cherry trees. This contributes to several lumber mills in the area that provide a secondary industry to the city. 

To the North of the Orlaith Valley is the Great Bay Lake. From there, the River Shannon flows South from the lake then East through the center of the valley and right down the middle of the city. The downtown of Crestwood Hollow is split by the river with one street travelling East on the North side of the river, while on the South side the street only travels West. Located every few blocks is a draw bridge which both connects the city and separates it when the need arises for a ship travels upstream. Towering buildings look down on the river ranging from hotels to banks, to white collar firms and apartment complexes. The Northern side of the city is known for being rougher than its Southern Sister. The 'Beau' half of Crestwood Hollow is home to the Mather Park, in the middle of which is an ancient white oak known only as the Hanging Tree. The Southern half of the city, the 'Belle', is newer than the Beau and is home to several more residential areas than the North. The further South one travels in Crestwood Hollow, the more construction they seem to encounter as the city is constantly expanded to accommodate new subdivisions. 

Towards the Eastern edge of the city, the Shannon empties into the Atlantic Ocean, flowing through the Crestwood Port before it is swept away by the tides of the Atlantic. Due to its location within the Orlaith, Crestwood Hollow has very few visits via train and does most of its imports through truck and ship. As such, the Port is often a thriving hub of life with new ships visiting each day. Several fisheries dot the piers but have fallen upon hard times in latter years due to over-fishing in the Atlantic. Numerous recreational boats fill the docks and full warehouses litter the boardwalks.

M A T H E R   M E M O R I A L   H I G H   S C H O O L || Est. 1947

The Mather Memorial High School is Crestwood Hollow's largest secondary school. Built in the late forties, the school has stood in the same spot for almost seventy years. As such the building does show it's age, especially in its tall architecture with a looming main entrance that casts a shadow on the stairs before it. The inside of the school is often stuffy, the air carrying a heavy musty odor that perforates every hallway. The original gymnasium has been transformed into an auditorium while an addition in the nineties added a proper gymnasium onto the school's west side. Outside this expansion are several basketball courts leading to track surrounding a multi-use field. This field is used for a variety of sports and when an event is held temporary bleachers can be erected on either side of the field.

The athletics facility is not the only recent addition to the school. Several portable units line the back of the school, added during the late nineties in order to increase teachable areas however most of these are used as storage currently. A technology wing was added to the east side of the school in the early 2000's. This wing includes state of the art computer labs along with wood working, welding facilities and even an auto shop. These facilities line the bottom of the wing, however the upper floor of the wing adds several new science classrooms and lecture rooms rendering the aforementioned portables null and void. At the rear of the main building is the cafeteria which looks down onto the park which shares the school's namesake. In order to encourage students to get outside on their lunch breaks, a balcony including an outside seating area was added to the cafeteria in 2013.

Like most secondary schools across North America, Mather Memorial offers a wide variety of teachables to its students outside of the mandatory core subjects. Additionally education is supplied in three levels of learning in order to ensure no student is left behind. This includes an essentials level for students who intend to go directly into the workplace after high school, an applied level for students who wish to attend community college and an academic level for students aiming to attend university. Some courses have no specified level and are open to all students but others require the student have certain prerequisites before they can enroll. Courses such as these often lead to graduates return to Mather Memorial for a fifth year, or as it commonly referred to as, a 'Victory Lap'.

▼ H I S T O R Y:
◼ C A T A L Y S T || 1967-1984

On October 18, 1967, Earth was hit with an immense Coronal Mass Ejection. During a total Lunar Eclipse, the sun emitted a massive interplanetary CME which doused the entire globe with high energy particles causing the largest and brightest occurrence of the aurorae ever recorded. Unfortunately this also brought a geomagnetic storm which ravaged Earth’s electrical transmission lines, causing power outages on a global scale. It was on this day that the Earth nearly stood still, sitting in total darkness for nearly ten minutes before back up systems began to re-activate. Numerous regions around the globe were left in the dark well beyond that. Cities were powerless for nearly a week while some rural areas were forced to survive for nearly a month without power. This event left a death toll numbering in the tens of thousands becoming known as the Dark Eclipse. 

However the aftermath of the Dark Eclipse reached far further than anyone could have ever anticipated. The resulting effect of the high energy particles is a mutation appearing in one of every hundred thousand people. While public knowledge of the mutation remains vague, selected sects in the scientific community are aware of it and have dubbed the emergence of the mutation ‘Viriumosis’. In more common jargon, the possession of a mutation is referred to as the ‘Hype-Factor’ or ‘Hype-Gene’. Collectively, these mutants are referred to as ‘Hyperhumans’.

◼ E M E R G E N C E || 1985-1999

As the Cold War came to a close, humanity’s attention was turned to a new threat. One that was already in their homes, teaching their children and running their governments. As word of Hyperhumans became public knowledge a perpetual state of fear and paranoia took hold of  the world. Neighbor was turned against neighbor and mother against child as humanity’s pattern of fearing that which they didn’t understand continued. 

Propaganda against Hyperhumans was widespread especially in North America. Laws were passed that prohibited Hyperhumans from positions of authority on suspicion of using their abilities to gain an advantage. Athletes and other competition driven professions were heavily screened. Although there were those who chose to use Hyperhumans to their own advantage and more than one man or woman desperate to make a living allowed themselves to be drawn into the shadier side of things. 

Activism and social conscious was pushed to an all time high during this period as people fought to be treated as equals no matter their colour, sexuality and abilities. Technology took leaps and bounds during this period as Hyperhumans with more subtle abilities were able to integrate into society and excel through their education and in their careers.

◼ V I G I L A N C E || 2000-Present

Due to the emergence of Hyperhumans during the late 80’s, technology advanced at a rapid rate. The majority of Earth’s power is based upon nuclear fusion with coal based energy completely phased out greatly reducing the amount of pollution present in Earth’s atmosphere. Roughly sixty-five percent of power is supplied by nuclear fusion while other clean energy make up the remaining thirty-five percent. Solar power makes up the majority of the secondary energy sources clocking in at twenty-five percent while wind makes up only five percent. The last five percent of energy sources is mixed between nuclear fission, hydroelectric and geothermal power.

Other advances in technology are rather notable among society. As of 2010, three dimensional screens or holographic displays have become commonplace among consumer homes while the self-driving car has been made available to the public market as of 2015. Despite the original fear of Hyperhumans, advances in both law and peace keeping technology has thus far kept any major superpowered crime at bay. Robotic K9 units along with autonomous patrol cars and synthetic officers have become the standard especially among large cities.

▼ B A C K G R O U N D:
◼ H Y P E R H U M A N || Homo-Virium

Hyperhumans are humans who have undergone Viriumosis thus leading to the creation of a ‘Hype-Gene’ and development of extranormal abilities. Viriumosis occurs when the high energy particles create an insertion and add one or more extra nucleotides into the host DNA. As insertions in the coding region of a gene may alter splicing of the mRNA, or cause a shift in the reading frame, this almost always leads to a significant alteration in the gene product. These alterations lead to a wide variety of effects which are often looked upon as super-human abilities. 

While Viriumosis was only able to occur in the individuals who were alive during the Dark Eclipse, the Hype-Gene is able to be passed along through reproduction. This is a cumulative result of high energy particles stored within the donating parent's chromosomes. A portion of these particles are replicated and passed along to through genetic material resulting in the offspring going through Viriumosis in utero. Naturally this leads to the creation of the 'Hype-Gene' in the offspring allowing them to display abilities akin to those of their parent(s).

That said, a human born without a 'Hype-Gene' will not display Hyperhuman abilities unless subjected to Viriumosis. However due to the constraints of technology, there is no way to artificially replicate the process which created the ‘Hype-Gene’. 

The 'Hype-Gene' isn't exclusively carried within either sex but is a dominant gene within both ensuring that the child of a Hyperhuman will indeed be one themselves. Due to a lack of willing subjects, there are no studies as to whether powers levels are greater or equal within children who have two Hyperhuman parents compared to those who only have one. Hyperhuman abilities are incredibly diverse and more often than not allow the host to accomplish superhuman abilities. When a Hyperhuman is born, they have an unlimited potential as to what abilities they will develop. Hyperhuman abilities are not predetermined by parents but instead are developed during puberty in the majority of hosts. However those who go through trauma at a younger age may prematurely develop their abilities. Environment and circumstance surrounding the time of ability development will contribute to determining the host’s abilities. Due to the nature of Viriumosis, Hyperhuman abilities are closely linked to Earth’s Electromagnetic Spheres and could be considered to be powered through it. 

The more of these 'Hyperhumans' that are in close proximity, the weaker they become as they fight to draw from the same EM spheres. Many of these 'Hyperhumans' live their lives without knowing about their abilities, a few odd occurrences happening in times of heightened adrenaline. But there are the few who learn to embrace their nature and use their abilities to accomplish extraordinary feats.

▼ R U L E S   &   R E G U L A T I O N S:
▼  1 . 0 . 0 .   A P P L I C A T I O N   P R O C E S S || Guidelines for Character Submission

[1.1.0.] - As the GMs, we reserve the right to deny, veto or otherwise reject any character application based on any number of factors that we find make the character unfit for this roleplay. This can include player history, perceived literacy, lack of understanding of the game's concept, unruly behavior in the iCheck/OOC or towards the GMs, other players or simply a generally poor attitude. Other reasons for application denial will be listed in the following rules.

[1.2.0.] - All Character Sheets must be submitted to the GMs using the provided skeleton. Character Sheets which do not use the provided skeleton will be rejected and asked to comply with the set standard. This code can be found provided below the rules. Please remember to change the capitalized 'HR' to 'hr' in order for the horizontal lines to work correctly.

[1.2.1.] - Incomplete or in progress sheets should not be posted in the OOC nor should they be posted in the character tab. Completed sheets ready for review are the only character sheets which should be sent to the GMs via Private Message. If you need a place to store a work in progress sheet, you can create a PM with yourself or a Character Archive thread.

[1.2.2.] - Completed sheets are to be privately messaged to the GMs for review until approved. Once approved you may move your sheet into the Character Thread for storage. Once the sheet is put into the Character Thread it becomes a contract between yourself and the GMs, meaning this is the character you have signed on to play and you will not alter or change anything about the character without first gaining the GM's permission to amend the sheet. This primarily relates to your character's biography, abilities and skills. Character relations, supporting cast and other minor items may be altered at any time but a heads-up is still appreciated.

[1.3.0.] - Character Sheet reviews will be provided to you via PM and each review will contain a verdict on the character's acceptance along with a list of reasoning why the character was accepted, conditionally accepted or out-right denied. You will be allotted one appeal per review, up to a grand total of three reviews. If the sheet is not in the GM's liking after the thread review, it will be denied and you will not be allowed to apply again. These three reviews count towards different characters as well should you change characters after your first one was denied. 

[1.3.1.] - Reviews will be sent to the player within 24 hours of a posted completed sheet. Please try to understand that in the event of numerous character sheets being submitted in the same day or due to obligations outside of Crestwood Hollow there may be the occasional delay in this process.

[1.3.1.] - In the event of a reasonable delay, any displays of impatience towards the GMs will result in an immediate dismissal of the application and thus a denial towards the player participating in the RP. As the players, the GMs have lives and obligations outside of the roleplay and may not always be able to respond in a rapid manner. Please have patience and a postivie attitude adn you will receive a response in a timely manner.

[1.4.0.] - You can create any superhuman mold you want with tact. All invincible superhumans or obvious imitations of DC or Marvel titles will be judged harshly.  If you must make a 'monstrous' character/power, I advise you to make your character dual sided so they may blend with the regular people. Your abilities should also be a secret to anyone outside of the character’s circle of trust, remember people are afraid of what they don't understand and superpowers are a new concept to the world. People will not be willing to accept them very quickly.

[1.4.1.] - In line with above rule, do not make your character well rounded, give them weaknesses and flaws. Limitations in their skills and abilities, reasons to make them need a team to support them. Additionally, give your character room to grow and develop. It's always fun to have a new power show up down the line, just give the GM a heads up first so it doesn't look like you're godmodding.

[1.5.0.] - Character abilities should feel at home in a realistic or even cinematic world akin to the Avengers/X-Men etc. That said as mentioned above be careful with physically disfiguring abilities.

[1.6.0.] - Failure to adhere to any of the character creation rules will lead to rejection of the application with a citation of the broken rule(s). Permission to re-apply will be given on a case by case basis depending on the rule(s) broken and the quality of the application. Critique will be given on Character Sheets which don't break any rules but aren't quite up to an acceptable standard. Please be willing to work with the GM in the event of this.

▼  2 . 0 . 0 .   O U T   O F   C H A R A C T E R   C O N D U C T || Guidelines for posting in the OOC Thread

[2.1.0.] - Respect the Game Masters. The GM's words are to be adhered, don't argue or disregard them unnecessarily. If a GM asks you to stop doing something please do it. Likewise if a GM asks you to change something in your post please do it. Failure to adhere to any GM or Moderator requests will result in expulsion from the game.

[2.2.0.] - Respect the other players. Constructive criticism is fine, but flaming or trying to run players off just because you don't like the way they do things is not okay. Remember, it's the GM's job, not yours, to point out if there's a problem. If you feel that there is a problem, then contact a GM directly.

[2.3.0.] - Likewise any quarrels will be dealt with by the GMs. Don't take them out in the OOC, arguments should be dealt with between the two parties through private messaging. If the involved parties truly can't solve their issues a GM can act as an arbiter upon request.

[2.4.0.] - No GIF Wars. This is a thread for discussion of the roleplay, its characters and plots. This is not a Spam Thread. Chat is allowed and encouraged but within reason, please try not to fill the OOC with numerous pages that have little to nothing to do with the roleplay itself. An active OOC generally means an active roleplay so feel free to chat up your fellow players about characters and events in the RP.

▼  3 . 0 . 0 .   I N   C H A R A C T E R   C O N D U C T || Guidelines for posting in the IC Thread

[3.1.0.] - Absolutely no 'OOC' chatter in the In Character Thread. If you have a question or anything to explain there is an Out Of Character Thread provided. You have no excuse to make an 'OOC' comment in the IC and if done it will be heavily frowned upon.

[3.2.0.] - You are your character, so act like them. Create or portray their mannerisms, powers, and ideals to how they have been established in the game. BE the character, not just yourself with the character's powers. The notes section of your CS has been provided for such a reason, use it to help yourself remain consistent in character portrayals.

[3.3.0.] - Writing expectations for this roleplay are at least two (2) well developed paragraphs as a minimum per post. Three (3) to five (5) paragraph posts however would be awesome so long as you're not simply chewing the scenery. Proper spelling and grammar is also expected but small mistakes here and there are understandable. Blatant offenses will be called out.

[3.3.0.] - You are required to post at least once within ten (10) days after the GM Plot Post advances the RP. Extensions will only be given in extenuating circumstances. Please recognize your limitations before joining the RP, if you are unable to post once every ten days, then it's highly likely that you do not have enough time to keep up with the RP. 

[3.3.1.] - In the event that you do miss the ten day deadline, your character will be listed as 'inactive'. After a further week (7 Days) of inactivity, your character will be expelled, and dealt with as necessary in the IC, whether killed or used as needed and then discarded. This whole process is simply easier if you just let the GM know if you're unable to keep up or simply have lost interest in the RP.

[3.3.2.] - If you find yourself in a plot with another player and they disappear, do your best to move on without them and quickly finish the arc to the best of your ability, or ask for the help of a GM.

[3.4.0.] - No God-Modding or metagaming. This refers to controlling or manipulating another player's character in way that is completely self-beneficial and not pre-approved by the other player. This also includes being untouchable against NPC characters as well as being all knowing. Keep your character humanized or risk being expelled from the RP.

[3.5.0.] - This is a Character Driven RP, and as such you are encouraged and expected to take charge of your character's sub-plots and storylines. This is a favourite rule of mine, and that said, there will be a heavy emphasis on collaborative activities and team building as well. The GMs will be leading the RP in the traditional sense with a driving plot and will ensure the RP keeps moving however we do want to see you develop your characters and produce your own plots. However we don't want to see you lock your character out of interaction and focus solely on your character and their 'world'. No one enjoys watching you play with yourself, it's always better to let someone else join in on the fun.

[3.5.1.] - Player Character's are not to be killed without permission nor that player's supporting cast members. It is fine to kill nameless NPC's, but PC's or important NPC's will require authorization by their creator except in the event of a GM event.

[3.6.0.] - Plots should not be completed in one or two posts. Your character should not be able to stop an entire robbery by themselves or put out a city block on fire with relative ease. That said obviously different power levels do apply so if you do manage to put out the fire, solve the cause of it. If you stop the robbery find out who hired the gang or what their motives were. If all else fails do some character development or show us some ‘Slice of Life’ moments for you character if you do solve a plot quickly.

S E X U A L   C O N D U C T || A note from the GM

This is an RP with open world elements and I realize that relationships are a part of this. While I have no problem with this I do want it kept a specific way to avoid breaking any rules. As part of RPG's rule, mature content is forbidden on the forums. You may however use the standard fade-to-black technique if you desire and that will be fine, just keep it PG-13/14A (May contain: violence, coarse language and/or sexually suggestive scenes.) both leading and following up. I implore you to keep within the age restrictions set up already by administration. As such, let’s keep it simple, ages 16-18 can have relationships with each other and likewise for 13-15. Please just use your common sense if you're going to seek a relationship within the RP. You have been warned of my expectations on this matter and should you fail to follow through you will be asked to leave the roleplay and reported for breaking site rules.

C O M M I T M E N T   &   C O N S I S T E N C Y || A note from the GM

If you join this RP, if you take the time to submit an application, I'm putting my faith in you that you'll be committed to it and that the character you play will be consistent with the one in the agreed upon CS. Personally, I have a hard time with this sometimes and I understand that things just happen. That said I’m referring to suddenly giving a character new powers with no explanation or completely changing their backstory in order to add new skills. I’m okay with changes but I’d like a heads-up first so perhaps we can work a more natural way towards these things happening. In terms of commitment, dropping out of the RP randomly for whatever reason is a pain or a GM. Simply put, it wastes my time along with the other players. If you do not think you can join and you're sure something will come up, do not join. Tendency to not care about an RP after a while? Don't join. Simple as that. I will work with you when it comes to bumps in the road. If you think you're going to be out for a couple of days, that's fine. I'll find a way to excuse you from the story or play your character. However, please let the group known as far in advance as possible. If you're going on a trip, tell me something. Do not leave me wondering where you are. Let me know so I can keep things going. I will work around you if you work with me when you can.

▼ F . A . Q .:
0 0 1 || Is this an original universe?

This RP is based in what I like to call the 'Hyperverse'. It is a hard reboot and adaption of my previous original universes of Vigilance and the Mavericksverse. The biggest difference is the complete erasure of the heroes known as the Mavericks. This is due to the fact I only can claim the rights to one of the characters. In terms of differences from Vigilance, there's been several changes made to Hyperhumans, most notably the broadening of their abilities and an isolated power source. All major organizations from Vigilance have been done away with in order to free players of constrictions and allow for a more general world building experience for those who wish to contribute.

0 0 2 || Do real world location exist?

Simply yes, while Crestwood Hollow itself is a fictitious city, it is still set inside the very real state of New Hampshire and country known as the United States of America. Real world cities such as New York, San Francisco, all exist with no changes outside of the technological advancements made in the lore.

0 0 3 || Can I make an original character?

Yes, in fact that would be preferable to adapting a character original conceived for another RP. However there is no penalty for re-using a character and it won't slow or affect your acceptance. I just prefer fresh ideas especially with the Hyperhuman concept.

0 0 4 || How many players will there be?

The aim is to gather six to eight reliable players who will make up the 'Study' group. If need be we can run the RP with as few as three or as many as twelve. New players can be added down the road if our numbers dwindle whereas if we keep a full roster, no new acceptances will be made.

0 0 5 || What kind of powers can I use?

The ideal powersets will be those which allow the character to affect the world around them. Powers which leave the character with physical deformities will be given a low priority in acceptances as the RP is based on the players attending a public school. As such any 'freaks of nature' would simply stand out too much for them to attend the school. All powersets will start at a street level or lower, meaning they barely give the characters an edge above an average human. Throughout the RP, the character's abilities will grow so they should be written with development in mind.

0 0 6 || Can I use magic?

Characters in this RP are required to be Hyperhumans only. That said, no you are not able to use magic or gain your abilities from any other source. This means you can not be a vampire, werewolf, alien or demi-god.

0 0 7 || Can I have more than one character?

You may only have one primary character in this RP, however you are encouraged to develop a cast of secondary characters to interact and challenge your character. It is more than welcomed for each character to come from within different social circles at Mather Memorial High School and not know each other before the events of the RP.

In the event that your character died in the IC, you may create a replacement player provided you weren't removed from the RP for any of the reasons specified under the rules.

0 0 8 || Can my character be bad/evil?

Your character should struggle with morality, after all suddenly being gifted with powers above those of mere mortals could lead to some overwhelming temptation whether to get revenge or use them for self gain. But that said, your character should not spiral out of control, or at least the group should step in before then. The overall idea is that our characters do become heroes in the end.

0 0 9 || Can my secondary characters be bad/evil?

You are free to do as you wish with secondary characters. If you wish to mold them into an antagonist for the group you are encouraged to consult me and we can collaborate on how to make that happen.

0 1 0 || What will the plot be like?

The plot will follow a group of students who are handpicked by a teacher to be part of his 'study group'. However unbeknownst to the students, the teacher is aware each of them are a Hyperhuman and plans to teach them how to both control and use their extraordinary gifts. The 'Study Group' will bond and grow together eventually leaving the class room behind to protect their home from both others like them and forces no one has ever seen before.

0 1 1 || Can my character die?

Simply put yes. There will be moments in the RP where character death is entirely possible and I would like to treat these moments in as real of a manner as I can. Going into this RP you should know that in the event one of these situations arise, I will not as if I can kill your character, I will simply do it. Abandoned characters will often be turned into cannon fodder.

0 1 2 || If my character dies am I out of the RP?

Absolutely not unless you had abandoned your character. An abandoned character means you've likely dropped the RP, or missed your posting deadline thus meaning you're out. If your character died by circumstance you are free to make a new character and continue as part of the RP. I also understand bowing out after the death of your character though.

EPISODE 01.01.0 || Pilot

The bell has rung kicking off a brand new year at Mather Memorial High School, the largest secondary school in the sleepy city of Crestwood Hollow. This school year signifies the start of Jonas Lehrer's career at Mather Memorial, a recent addition to the school's staff. An ambitious young teacher, Jonas arrived at Mather Memorial with plans to inject new life into the school, starting a pioneering after school study program. Seemingly recruiting students at random, Jonas has put together a group consisting of students from all grade levels. Due to this, it seems the students aren't necessarily going to get along as cliques and rivalries quickly form on the first day of class.

Something has happened to the One Universe. 

Yesterday there was leagues of heroes, gods in their own right but today, they are no where to be seen. In fact, Earth seems to be devoid of mutants, magic and might entirely.

In its place, the small town of Marville has appear, two hours Southeast of New York City. The town is isolated from the rest of the world as miles of rich farm land surround the sleepy hollow.

Waking up with no memory of yesterday, a teenaged Donald Blake goes about what he believes to be his morning routine as before meeting his friends Diana Prince and Arthur Curry to catch their bus to school.

Magic is innate to all people, however there are those who dedicate entire lives to studying the arcane, developing abilities which many believe to be not of this world.

Near everyone can use magic to ignite a small flame, lighting candles at dark or a fire to cook with. Additionally, most learn to control the energies of healing to seal and accelerate the healing in minor wounds but few every gain much skills beyond this.

The abilities of magic are near limitless and are in fact only limited by the imagination and lifespan of the dedicated student. There are even whispers of those who have learned to escape death, shedding their mortal form for something much more horrific.

Thor has existed since time immemorial.

The God of Thunder, an immortal being from the realm of Asgard. The protector of the Nine Realms, Thor has protected the world from numerous threats, the tales of his deeds passed down from generation to generation until eventually humanity became so consumed in itself, they lost faith in the old protectors. A champion of his people with a fierce appetite for battle, Thor had fought alongside such legendary heroes as Herakles and Arturus Rex. No foe has ever managed to best the mighty Thor until he faced the world serpent, Jörmungandr.

Besting the beast in battle, Thor walked away knowing Midgard was saved before he succumbed to his wounds. But the tale of Thor has not yet ended. Revived through the power of his father Odin, Thor has returned in time to face Earth's rising threats as men of might and heroes whose legends have not yet been written begin to walk the Earth.

T H O R   O D I N S O N   ♦   I M M O R T A L   ♦   M A L E   ♦   H E R O I C

O R I G I N   &   B A C K S T O R Y:
Thor is the son of Odin Borson, the King, and Allfather of the realm of Asgard. His mother, however, was a giantess called Jörð, who in actuality was a Pre-Mordial Titan known more commonly as Gaea. Through his father, Thor has two brother whom he was raised alongside, his half-brother Baldur and his adoptive brother Loki who was the same age as Thor and the pair maintained a bitter rivalry throughout their youth. Growing up, Thor was close friends with Heimdall who would go on to also become Thor's closest ally. His circle of friends also included the future Warriors Three; Volstagg, Hogun, and Fandral. Lastly, Thor maintained a fledgling on and off again romance with the young Sif.

Growing to be a powerful and headstrong warrior, Thor grew brash and his thirst for battle was almost unsettling to those around him. Burdened with the role of Protector of the Nine Realms, Thor would often be away from Asgard for great lengths of times, putting a severe strain on his relationship with the Lady Sif, especially since Thor made other consorts in the Realms he visited. His favourite of these was jötunn, Járnsaxa, with whom he laid and fostered a child in secret from all but Heimdall's all-seeing eyes. It was also on these many adventures that Thor first ventured to Midgard, encountering the Olympian hero, Herakles and forming their longstanding rivalry. Thor also brought war to Avallonis, clashing hammer against sword before forming a truce with the realms king, Arturus Rex. 

However, Thor had a destiny far greater than any of his allies, and would eventually go on to confront the monster known as the Midgard Serpent, Jörmungandr. In order to avert the destruction of Midgard, Thor had to defeat Jörmungandr, and the two did battle for numerous days before the serpent finally succumbed to its injuries, its body releasing Midgard and plunging far below the roots of Yggdrasil, the world's tree. However, Jörmungandr venom eventually caught up to Thor and after taking nine paces from the battle, he dropped dead. The battle between Thor and Jörmungandr had unwittingly unleased Ragnarok upon Asgard, and with Thor's death, the realm fell apart, swallowed whole and its people were forced to flee or perish. Departing to the stars, the Asgardians left the ruins of their home behind as they sought to find a new place in the galaxy while Thor's legendary weapon, Mjölnir was lost to the cosmos of the Nine Realms, foretold to be waiting for the return of its master or another to seek it out and prove themselves worthy of its power. 

But time was not a concept that Mjölnir worried nor even considered and in the late summer of the Midgard year of 1990, Erik and Marcy Donaldson gave birth to a son they named Blake. Growing up on his father's farm in the American South West, the Donaldsons lived a modest life, with nothing extraordinary about them. But on the dawn of his eighteenth birthday, Blake began to be plagued with vivid dreams of a life he had never lived. These dreams were, of course, the memories of Thor, who was reincarnated through Blake. The dreams continued to plague Blake for another decade while he left his home in Marville, Oklahoma to attend Texas State University before returning home to open his own veterinarian practice. Thor was soon awoken when a man from Blake's past by the name of Carl Creel began to make trouble in Marville. Nicknamed 'Crusher' during their time together in High School, Creel had seemingly developed abilities which allowed him to fully embrace the nickname. Standing defiantly against him, Blake was struck by a near-fatal blow, laying in the street to die had it not been for an elderly man. The man took a hold of Blake's hand and in an instant, Thor was restored, his memories and enhance fully inhabiting this new body as he defeated Creel in combat. Now, Thor continues his life as Blake, juggling the responsibilities of both his world, as he adjusts to not only acting as a protector of Midgard, but once again restoring peace to the other Realms while seeking to reunite the people of Asgard and rebuild their home.

P O W E R S   &   A B I L I T I E S:
P O W E R S:

ASGARDIAN PHYSIOLOGY: Thor’s unique physiology of half-Asgardian and Half Elder God grants him the typical powers of an Asgardian God but he is much stronger than the typical members of his race. Thor is currently the second most powerful Asgardian within the Nine Realms and the cosmos surpassed only by his father. As Asgard's warrior prince, Thor trained in the arts of battle, which he has practiced for thousands of years. He is recognized to rely solely on his superior fighting ability, strength, and nigh invulnerability. Odin believes that Thor will eventually become even more powerful than him.

Physically the strongest of all Asgardians, Thos is recognized as the God of Strength. His incredible superhuman strength enables him to easily overpower hoards of enemies of lesser strength. Thor has even stalemated the hero Herakles in several contests, a hero of lore whose strength accomplished nine legendary labours that no other being had ever accomplished. None of these so-called labours, however, came close to Thor's greatest feat, when he lifted the Midgard Serpent, Jörmungandr. A serpent so large, its coils had wrapped around the Earth several times. For this reason, Thor often holds back his vast strength to ensure he does not greatly harm his opponents or the area in which they are in.

Thor can move at great superhuman speeds. Capable of sprinting distances fast enough to visibly appear as nothing more than a blur. Likewise, his reflexes react on the same level, allowing Thor to dodge and respond to attacks almost instantly. Thor's agility, dexterity, balance, and bodily coordination make him a great warrior for battle. He moves with incredible grace and speed despite his considerable size and body density.

His skin, muscle, and bone tissue have many times the density of the same tissue in the body of a human being and even more so than regular Asgardians. Thor is immune to all human diseases as well as its poisons and toxins and is additionally immune to electrocution or poison from radiation. Thor's metabolism is so great that it is nearly impossible for Thor to become drunk except for when he imbibes alcoholic beverages of Asgardian or equal origin. Thor is not immune to all forms of harm, however, and can be defeated by a being whose power matches or exceeds his own, or by high order magic manipulation.

Despite his astounding resistance to injury, it is still possible to injure Thor. However, due to his Asgardian physiology, Thor is able to heal at a rate significantly faster than a normal human and even much faster than most Asgardians. Like all other Asgardians, is not truly immortal. It is possible to kill an Asgardian and other beings in the Nine Realms. More accurately, Asgardians are extremely long-lived beings. Thor ages at a pace far, far slower than a human, and this longevity if further boosted by the consumption of Idunn's Golden Apples. Even in Death, Asgardians do not truly die as many return in reincarnated forms such as both Thor and his brother Loki.

Thor's endurance is much higher than that of humans and most superhumans. Thor has the ability to perform at his physical peak without tiring for very long periods of time. Thor’s body, unlike that of humans, produces almost no fatigue toxins. However, Thor does indeed require rest to rejuvenate himself, but sleep is luxury, rather than something he requires daily.

A B I L I T I E S:

GOD OF THUNDER: Thor is the God of thunder born with the natural ability to control weather since birth. Thor normally relies on Mjölnir to control the weather with and release blasts of lightning. Mjölnir allows him to channel his natural abilities more easily, focusing on the hammer as an output. Using his powers without Mjölnir require more effort to summon and are more raw and uncontrolled. Thor is able to summon all elements of the storm, and can even create unnatural weather. He can even discharge lightning bolts from his hands that are lethal and raw in power, able to engulf his hands in lightning to amplify his punches. It is only without Mjölnir that Thor unlocked the full potential of his electrokinetic powers. His power over lightning allow him to generate electrical energy from his own body and summon thunder and lightning from the sky, all without the aid of his former hammer.

SON OF JÖRð: As the son of Jörð, the Pre-Mordial Titan, Gaea, Thor possess an innate, but limited ability to manipulate the Earth. He can create tremors and earthquakes, sink enemies into the ground or raise the ground in his defense. Though this requires great effort on Thor's part as the gifts of his mother do not come with the ease that his other powers do. Lastly, Thor can communicate with the Earth, sensing disturbances to the world through vibrations far too insignificant for most others to experience.

COMBATANT: Thor is one of the most trained and experienced warriors in all the Realms. Thor often prefers to use brawling-type techniques when fighting beings of similar levels of strength. Despite being a skilled hand-to-hand combatant, Thor's greatest feats of skill come from his weapon expertise. He is easily one of the greatest and most versatile weapon experts in all the Realms, while Thor in his past life favoured his hammer, Mjölnir, he is skilled in the use of weapons such as an axe, sword, bow and arrow, shields and clubs.

TACTICIAN: Due to the fact that Thor is a Warrior God, he has had several millennia worth of experience with devising plans of war. Thor derives his great knowledge of war from Midgard as well as the other Realms, all of which the God of Thunder has done battle in.

P A R A P H E N I L I A:

JÁRNBJÖRN:The first weapon Thor ever called his own, the axe-hammer hybrid saw plenty of action during Thor's use although he ultimately stopped using the weapon after being gifted Mjölnir. However, with Mjölnir missing, Thor has once again a need for a weapon and has chosen to wield this familiar maul.

MJÖLNIR:The weapon of Thor, forged from the heart of a dying star. Mjölnir was a nigh-indestructible hammer gifted to Thor from his father, Odin. Capable of focussing and channel Thor's impressive array of abilities, Thor ultimately came to rely on the weapon and considered it an extension of himself. It was lost to the Nine Realms after his death.

CALIBURNUS:A legendary sword from the realm of Avallonis, Caliburnus is the weapon of Arturus Rex after the sword chose him and allowed itself to be pulled from the stone, deeming him to be a worthy king. The sister weapon to Mjölnir, Caliburnus was forged from the same dying star and is virtually indestructible and capable of cutting through nearly any other metal save for Mjölnir.

MEGINGJÖRð:An Asgardian belt that like Mjölnir, helps Thor to control his considerable Asgardian abilities. The belt allows Thor to easily regulate the output of his strength, allowing him to hold back when necessary or unless the full might of the God of Thunder.

JÁRNGREIPR:A pair of Asgardian bracers which hold Thor's armor and when activated expel a wave of energy that passes over the Asgardian, covering him in his armor and royal garb which his proudly wears into battle.

S U P P O R T I N G   C A S T:
A L L I E S:

MJÖLNIR: A hammer forged from the heart of a dying star by the dwarven brothers Eitri and Brokkr. The metal crafted for Mjölnir came to be known in Asgard as Uru. It is the sister weapon to the equally powerful sword, Excalibur which residents in the realm of Avalon. The weapon is known for being terribly unbalanced due to a flaw in its creation resulting in a shorter handle. When Thor died, Mjölnir disappeared into the cosmos of the Nine Realms and hasn't been seen since. It is believed by the Asgardians that the hammer will return when her master does.

ODIN BORSON: The Allfather of Asgard, son of Bor, father to Thor, Loki, and Baldur. Odin was the ruler of Asgard until its demise during Ragnarok. Like the rest of the surviving Asgardians, he was left to wander the galaxy in search of refuge. Confident in his remaining son's ability to lead and knowing one day Thor would be reborn, Odin searched the Nine Realms for his reincarnated son until eventually finding him, in Marville, Oklahoma.

ERIK & MARCY DONALDSON: Erik and Marcy Donaldson are the parents of Blake Donaldson, Thor's reincarnated self. Erik had studied to be an architect before the early death of his father resulted in him taking over the family farm in Marville Oklahoma. Marcy, on the other hand, was a pediatrician with her own private practice. The life on the farm, however, never truly suited her and had it not been for the birth of Blake, the couple likely would have separated long ago.

JANE FOSTER: Born in Marville, Oklahoma, Jane Foster was a childhood friend and high-school romance of Blake Donaldson before eventually leading Marville behind and attending school in New York City. Now one of the world's leading astrophysicists, Jane Foster has found herself following a bizarre star pattern which has led her back to Marville, Oklahoma.

BARBARA NORRIS: Blake Donaldson's current girlfriend. Blake met Barbara while attending Texas State University and the two moved back to Marville so Blake could help his aging father with the farm while running his veterinarian practice. Barbara, on the other hand, works as a Deputy in the Marville Sheriff's Department.
 
HEIMDALL: Thor's dearest friend and longest ally. During the events of Ragnarok, Heimdall and Loki were locked in combat, when the dust settled neither were living. However much like Thor, it is believed that Heimdall will return again. The master of the Bifrost, without Heimdall, Thor has no hope of gathering the people of Asgard again.

BALDUR: Baldur is the youngest of Odin's children and half-brother to Thor. With Thor and Loki both dead from the events of Ragnarok, Baldur is the current heir to the throne of Asgard and currently captains a small freighter out of Knowhere as he seeks to unite his wandering people.

LADY SIF: The former wife of the lady Thor and the current wife of his brother, Baldur. Lady Sif is one of Asgard's mightiest warriors and was foretold to bear the children of Thor who would go on to inherit the mighty Mjölnir. However, Sif miscarried during Ragnarok, leading to the loss of her unborn child. With Thor's death, no heir came for Mjölnir. Eventually, Sif found herself aboard Baldur's vessel and his right hand. The two fell in love and bonded over their common mission, eventually becoming wed.

THE WARRIORS THREE: Among Thor's closest friends, the Warriors Three is comprised of Volstagg the Valiant, Hogun the Grim, and Fandral the Dashing. The three are among some of Asgard's most fierce warriors, perhaps bested only by Thor and Sif herself. All three were thought to have been killed during Ragnarok but Volstagg survived, although severely injured and weakened. Serving under Baldur, the group has managed to locate the reincarnate bodies of Hogun and Fandral who have joined up with their motley crew.

ARTURUS REX: The Saxon King and ruler of Kamaalot, Arturus Rex, known in legend simply as King Arthur was originally a foe of Thor's. During an Asgardian siege of Avallonis, Thor and Arturus found themselves pitted in locked combat. But as Mjölnir and Caliburnus are sister weapons, neither could gain an edge on the other. Ultimately, the two came to an understanding and mutual respect, Arturus, before his passing remaining one of Thor's closest allies.

HERAKLES: A former rival of Thor's, the son of Zeus himself. The pair has often fought over which of them is stronger, each time one stalemating the other. Maintaining a friendly rivalry, the two immortals occasionally go on adventures together, which always end in alcohol and brawl.

W H A T   M A K E S   T H I S   C H A R A C T E R   U L T I M A T E?:
This is a Thor who has done everything and yet has done nothing. He lived his mythical history, going on adventures throughout the Nine Realms and time before succumbing to his wounds during Ragnarok as Asgard was destroyed around him. But Thor is immortal, and through Odin's magic, he was reincarnated on Midgard.

Unlike in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Thor was not aware of his true identity. He was not sent to Earth in an adult form but was rather birthed through a mortal and raised among them creating Christ and Superman parallels. Likewise, unlike Marvel's Thor, there is no transformation between Thor and his mortal form, this version is both simultaneously Thor Odinson and Blake Donaldson.

My stories will at first focus on Blake/Thor coming to terms with his returned memories and powers, finding a place among Earth's mightiest heroes. From there, Thor's mission will shift to seeking out his lost hammer, Mjölnir and unite the scattered people of Asgard.

S A M P L E   P O S T:
"There you are Ma'am, I'm sure Mr. Cuddles will be right as rain in no time at all." Dr. Blake Donaldson said as he gently passed the obese cat over the examination table to the frail old lady in front of him.

"But please, do try to limit Mr. Cuddles' treats to three per day," Blake added with a smile.

"I'm so sorry Doctor Donaldson, ever since my husband's passed away, I've just been lonely and the Mr. Cuddles here has been my only solace." The woman remarked, her voice cracking slightly as she continued. "And if I don't give Mr. Cuddles treats, he won't come to me. The darn cat always did like Ted more."

"Well, I can suggest a few other ways to attract the cat-" Blake began only to be cut off mid-sentence as a deafening crash echoed from outside on Marville's main street.

"What in tarnation!" Mrs. Henderson exclaimed as Blake held up a hand for her to stay put as he moved out of the examination room and into the lobby where he could get a better view of whatever was happening outside.

"Doctor Donaldson, I'm sure the Sheriff's department can handle whatever it is." The elderly lady added as Blake turned back to look at her.

"That's what I'm afraid of." He retorted as his eyes searched the street for the old Crown Victoria. It didn't take much effort to pick the black and tan car out of the usual traffic that ran up and down Main Street, even less since its lights were reflecting red and blue off the front of the First National Bank across the street. Standing behind the passenger door with her gun drawn, was none other than the woman that Blake had been hoping not to see.

Barbara!

Barbara Norris, his college girlfriend, and common-law partner, the pair had been together for nearly five years now and there was no one in this world who knew Blake better than she did. But her choice of career wasn't exactly something Blake found desirable, his only relief being the staggering lack of violent crime in Marville.

At least until recently.

All over the world, individuals with what could only be described as superpowers, the stuff of old Captain America comic books, had begun to appear and caused what he personally considered to be a disaster. People with that kind of power, relatively unchecked, it was like they weren't held to any sort of responsibility and Blake could only imagine it was going to end in death for far too many people.

"COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP!" 

The sound of Sheriff Lamb's voice broke Blake's internal monologue as he looked up to see the figure of a large man in the doorway of the bank. As he stepped into the light, Blake felt a small sense of dread run down his spine as he realized the mutant threat had finally come to Marville. The man's skin appeared metallic in the daylight, shiny and reflective as the high sun beat down on it. In one hand was a large duffle bag, overstuff with wads of cash, no doubt from within the vault of the bank. n the other hand was a crudely made flail, something you'd see an art student try to throw together in shop class back in high-school.

"Wait, I know him," Blake muttered aloud. "That's-"
