[hider=Harlem's Ghost - Idris Stone] [img]http://i.imgur.com/7tcVf6t.png[/img] [b]Name[/b] - Idris Stone [b]Alias[/b] - Harlem's Ghost, Ghost Rider. [b]Age[/b] - 25 [b]Powers[/b] - As Idris: Average Human, capable of fighting but that's pretty much it. As Harlem's Ghost: - Ability to create a portal that serves as a one-way gate from Mephisto's realm, he can then summon hell-spawns and demons from that gate which can aid him in battle for a limited time before being drawn back to their hell. - Superhuman strength, endurance, intelligence, and mastery of the mystical arts. - Harlem's Ghost doesn't have a dedicated vehicle, instead he can turn whatever vehicle he chooses to and make it a death machine on burning ember. - A version of the penance stare that only works on non-humans. [b]Weaknesses[/b] - Idris only turned into the vessel of the spirit of vengeance recently, so he can't stay in the Harlem's Ghost persona for longer than three hours. He can also have no control whatsoever over the changes in personas, so he can't yet consciously turn into the Harlem's Ghost. As Idris he is very vulnerable to anything from flesh wounds to one-hit magical curses and spells, he is also deeply unstable due to the recent chemical and psychological changes his body went through after his first transformation. [b]Personality[/b] - Friendly, disturbed, righteous as Idris. Unstable, Chaotic, also righteous as Harlem's Ghost. [b]Experience[/b] - none. [b]BRIEF Bio [/b]- Idris was always a resident of Harlem, he personally knew the likes of Luke Cage, and at one point in his teen met Daredevil. He graduated from High-School and drop out of college when he found his passion for charitable work in Harlem. He was too young for humanitarian and social work that Luke Cage once invited him to visit the old Avenger's Mansion, there his sense of justice was greatly defined and he never felt more inspired since then. Idris's both parents are alive, he has grandparents, brothers, sisters, and numerous cousins. It was all good and dandy for Idris, as far as good and dandy can be in the poor and underdeveloped areas of Harlem. One day however a massive commotion broke out near his Charity and Social center, the source of the commotion was a fight between an aged Punisher and what appeared to be the Ghost Rider. The two anti-superheroes were engaged in a deadly battle, one that totally destroyed the already crumbling block that Idris occupied. Idris rushed to the scene of the fight, running against the wave of people feeling their destroyed and burning homes. When Idris finally reached a crater that was caused by the two anti-heroes' explosions, he was shocked to find them tearing each other apart. The Punisher was gravely wounded, and the Ghost Rider seemed to be drawing his last breath, struggling to keep from transforming into a Human being. When Idris screamed at them both, tried to convince them to stop and look at what they have done, The Punisher shot through the Ghost Rider's head. In a split-second moment the spirit of vengeance sought to protect itself, and jumped to the next available host that wasn't a deranged murderer. When Idris was hit with the spirit of vengeance's energy he immediately transformed, and due to Idris's pureness the spirit of vengeance was able to knock out The Punisher in a single blow. The previous Ghost Rider was then rushed to a hospital by Idris soon after he regained his self, and he fell into a coma afterwards, when he woke up a week later the old ghost rider was no where to be found. Idris wished he went through a dream, but he felt the burning of fire inside him, he knew he is now the host of the Spirit of Vengeance. [b]Key Differences[/b] - Idris differs from previous Ghost Riders in that he doesn't use a chain (not mainly anyway, but he could sport it later on), a hell shotgun or any gun, and he also doesn't have powers to control fire. His key difference would be both his ability to summon demons, and his righteous motives both as himself and the ghost rider persona. [b]Sample Story Arcs:[/b] Origin: Idris begins his career as a new Ghost Rider, as well as embarking on a higher level of charity work: Saving lives from villains and evil forces. I might collaborate with [@oakman]'s character on the supernatural arcs. [b]Supporting Characters[/b] Good- Family members, Luke Cage, Avengers. Bad- Mephisto, Loki, anyone who might abuse his new found powers. [/hider]
