Finished up my second character. Much more proud of him than I am of Frank, to be honest.

[b]Alias:[/b] Nite Hawk [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Occupation:[/b] Student [b]Place Of Origin:[/b] New York City (specifically Brooklyn), New York [b]Age:[/b] 19 [b]Date Of Birth:[/b] October 12th, 1997 [b]Appearance - Human:[/b] [url=http://evilord.com/davidbyrne/img/slideshow/1.jpg]Hollis[/url] stands at 6'3 and weighs 154 pounds, being extremely lanky and having an undeniably awkward air about him. Has a slight build, with muscles that aren't apparent until you find yourself knocked on your ass by a punch. Wears horn-rimmed glasses out of costume, wears contacts under goggles in costume. Keeps his face clean-shaven and his hair neatly combed to the side. Usually wears short-sleeved button-up shirts over plain t-shirts, with jeans and sneakers.[hr][b][h2]Relationship Information[/h2][/b][hr][b]Relationship Status:[/b] Single [b]Sexuality:[/b] Heterosexual, though he is bi-curious. [b]Partner:[/b] N/A [b]Father:[/b] Daniel Dreiberg, AKA Nite Owl II [b]Mother:[/b] Laurie Dreiberg (nee Juspeczyk/Jupiter), AKA Silk Spectre II [b]Siblings[/b]: From what Hollis understands, he has a missing sister. Whenever he asks his parents about her, he is quickly hushed, which led him to believe it was a touchy subject. As such, he doesn't speak of her. [b]Pets:[/b] N/A [b]Other:[/b] His grandmother, Sally Juspeczyk/Jupiter (AKA Silk Spectre I), who passed away in 2005; and his grandfather, Edward Blake (AKA The Comedian), who passed away in 1985.[hr][b][h2]Personal Information[/h2][/b][hr][b]Personality[/b] Hollis takes after his father, being very timid and polite in any social situation. He doesn't like to argue with people, being a very non-confrontational person, often cowing down to insults (because of this, he is frequently described as a push-over). If they persist, he will attempt to calm the person down or, failing that, will just walk away. However, if these insults are directed at any of his family members, he will not be so tolerant. Due to his timid nature, Hollis tries not to draw attention to himself, frequently blending in with the crowd because of this. In costume, Hollis is vastly different. He is much more outspoken and determined, taking it upon himself to be a group's tactician and always ensuring that his opinions are heard. Before fights, Hollis likes to give his enemies a choice: stand down or fight. Of course, they almost always take the latter option, but he still likes to give them the choice. Hollis doesn't like to drag fights out longer than they have to be, usually doing whatever he can to ensure his opponent(s) goes down fast. In short, a level-headed and polite young man out of costume, and a level-headed and polite badass in costume.

[b]Weaknesses:[/b] ☠ Due to his observational and quiet nature, Hollis is very often over-looked and forgotten when compared to his more outspoken peers. ☠ Due to having no formal training, Hollis can easily be taken out if his opponent is stronger or more skilled. ☠ Hollis has no skill in the use of ranged weapons (save for his grappling hook, if that counts as a ranged weapon). ☠ Hollis, though usually calm, collected, and very hard to piss off, is easily angered if someone insults his family members. [b]Brief Biography:[/b] Hollis Walter Dreiberg was born to Daniel Dreiberg and Laurie Dreiberg, two costumed heroes who had been active for twelve years after an eight year retirement. He grew up knowing of his parents' dual lives, and though they never encouraged that lifestyle, his grandmother did, and the idea of taking down criminals in tight spandex appealed to Hollis for whatever reason. It was clear from a young age that he was set on becoming a hero, like his parents and grandparents before him, despite his parents' protests. After years of begging, Hollis started training at the age of 14, and continued to do so until he was 18. He proved to be an apt pupil, quickly picking up on the skills he was taught which went hand-in-hand with his natural abilities. Last year, when the treaty was signed, his parents retired and stopped training Hollis. However, they encouraged him to go to the Academy when it opened up to continue his training, and so here he is.[hr][b][h2]Abilities[/h2][/b][hr][list][*][b]High IQ[/b] - Hollis is very intelligent, having taken after his father when it comes to his mind. [*][b]Agile[/b] - While Hollis gained his father's brains, he also gained his mother's body, being very agile when compared to most people. This includes being able to demonstrate impressive feats of acrobatic ability, like flips, cartwheels, and the like. [*][b]Skilled Combatant[/b] - Hollis was trained by both of his parents in the art of hand-to-hand combat. His fighting style is mostly a combination of boxing and street fighting rather than an actual martial art. [*][b]Gadgets[/b] - Hollis has a vast array of gadgets at his disposal. This includes: night-vision goggles, a gas-powered grappling hook, smoke bombs, a respirator mask, and the crown jewel, [url=https://www.wired.com/images_blogs/photos/uncategorized/2009/02/27/owlshipc800.jpg]Archie[/url], a flying ship in the shape of an owl that can also act as a submarine. [/list][hr][b][h2]Other Information[/h2][/b][hr][b]Other:[/b] Hollis is named after Hollis Mason, AKA Nite Owl I, and Walter Kovacs, AKA Rorschach. Hollis is most definitely a mama's boy.

Also not sure what his theme song should be, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
