Just gonna say that I won't be able to post my character for two days or so, as I'm in the process of moving to another state (currently using my phone's data, and I'd like to clarify that I HATE writing posts/working on characters on mobile). Should be back to normal on the fifth or sixth.

I just need to finish the sample post.
Name: Michael O'Connor
Alias: Light Walker
Age: 18
Personality: faithful, loyal, brave, individualistic and stubborn
Archetype: mystic
Powers: Michael only has a very tiny amount of his creator's omnipotent power, that small fraction still grants him some amazing abilities. His abilities broken off into four categories, creation, destruction, perception and causation.
Divine Shape: He can use his divine energy to form either a glowing football or a baseball, which he can toss to hit an opponent with blunt force
God's Will: Michael can move things through sheer will, he can create shock waves when in a fight to knock away enemies. He can also focus the shock wave to increase the power of his punches and other hand fighting techniques.
Healing touch: this ability allows Michael to heal the injuries of others by touching their wounds. This won't save people from fatal wounds, but minor breaks and cuts will be healed.
God's Eyes: With his left eye Michael can see all supernatural forces and creatures as well as magic and divine energy. His right eye allows him to see people's emotions.
Great swordsmanship: Michael is a very skilled swordsman
Weaknesses:
silver is almost like kryptonite to him
too much emotion will weaken his powers
He has no superhuman durability and will get injured from a bullet or knife like any other normal human
Appearance: his superhero costume is modeled after crusader clothing
Character Evolution: Michael wants to understand his purpose as a creation of the Presence.
BRIEF Bio: On the seventh hour of the seventh of the seventh month Michael was created. Michael was never like any other kid in Metropolis, in fact his parents were not even his real parents. He had been adopted by his mother and father when he had appeared on their doorstep one morning on July 7. His mother and father were unable to have children, but they had prayed to God for one and to them Michael's mysterious appearance was a miracle.
They treated him like he was their flesh and blood. But even as a toddler strange things happened around him. First he had healed their pet dog's broken leg by simply touching it and his hand had glowed a bright white when it happened. This shocked his adopted parents, but they didn't bring up again until another unexplained thing happened when he was seven. While he was out playing his mind thought of a sphere and in his hand appeared a glowing orb. These were only two of several weird incidents that happened with Michael.
Eventually his parents told him about they had adopted him and that he had been left on their doorstep. When he asked about his real parents they told him that could not find any trace of them or their whereabouts. It was around this time that Michael befriended a boy named Wally who was a nice kid and gave Michael some words of encourage and wisdom. He was glad to have friends, especially someone like Wally who was a really good moral person for Michael to be friends with.
Wally and him played together a lot as kids and Michael even eventually told Wally about his strange abilities. He was worried about being called a freak and becoming shunned by the town, but Wally did no such thing and viewed his powers a gift. As the years went on weird things would still happen on occasion, but it was nothing too serious.
But then when he was thirteen his special powers began to manifest even more and one day he accidentally unleashed a bolt of divine energy and blew apart a metro station bench. After that incident Michael began to worry if his gifts were too powerful for him to control. five years later he was approached by the mysterious being known as The Phantom Stranger and the entity explained to him that he was a creation of the supreme being known as The Presence.
Michael was a creation of God and was destined to help carry out his will. All of this information was a lot to take in and he had to explain it to his adoptive parents. As a religious couple they believed his story and Michael now had to figure out what he would do to help develop his powers. He then was instructed by Phantom Stranger to go to the Justice League to learn how to control his great powers better and use them for good.
Notes: he is a creation of The Presence like the Specter and Phantom Stranger. Michael also uses a longsword as his primary weapon

Welp, I also did an angel theme soooooo
Name: Judah Manet
Alias: Formerly known as Triune, Recently adopted the name “Judgement”
Age: 21
Personality: Indecisive, Spacey, Relaxed, Distinct, Compliant
Archetype: Mystic
Powers: Three power sets? WHAAAT???
Judah’s powers are derived from 3 entities, his own spirit, a demon and an angel. All 3 are bound together and depending on how he decides to handle a situation, he gets different powers. His normal state is his Neutral/Purgatory.
Neutral/Purgatory
Empathy: Can feel the emotions of people he makes eye contact with
“Ghosting”: Intangibility and levitation (NOT flight)
Basic magic: Anything from manipulating an object to breaking the laws of physics in slight ways. Not an expert so nothing incredible will come from this.
Purgatory Ambassador: Speak with the recently deceased and any other ghosts still stuck there, see spirits/ghosts and go to and from that plane.
Demonic/Hell
Malicious Empathy: Can slightly bestow negative emotions (Anger, Greed, Jealousy, Fear etc.) via eye contact.
Shapeshifting: Limited to humanoids and a demonic look, Judah can go from a spine covered hulking demon to a lathe and smooth succubus (that’s right, gender changes are possible)
Enhanced strength and speed: Moreso strength than speed, but only slightly superhuman levels of each.
Pyrokinesis: Hellfire, baby!
Chaos Magic
Lesser Demons: Can call upon weak and temporary demons to do simple tasks before expiring after 30 seconds.
Angelic/Heaven
Inspiring Empathy: Can slightly bestow positive emotions (Calmness, Courage, Hope, Happiness etc.) via eye contact
Enhanced speed and strength: Moreso speed than strength this time
Holy Armor: Enhanced holy armor to raise durability, comes with a neat shield and sword!
Detect Evil: Can literally smell evil, other than that no way to detect it.
Flight: Wings. Enough said
Order Magic
Electrokinesis: Call upon the powers of holy lightning!
Weaknesses: All forms: Nth Metal
Demon: Salt, Holy water
Angel: Salt, Silver
Appearance:
In his Neutral
Character Evolution: [How do you want your character to grow within the League? What do you want as far as a personal story? A friendship/rivalry in the JLU? A superhero girlfriend or boyfriend?]

@Experiment 249 Michael isn't an angel. He's something else
Here is my Earth-53 interpretation of Negative Man. Hopefully he does Larry justice.
Name: Lt. Lawrence Trainor
Alias: Polarity Man – The Soldier of the Skies
Age: 33
Personality: Hopeful, Mellow, Brave, Self-Destructive, Indifferent
Archetype: Alien tech, the origin of which is kept secret from him by his military superiors.
Powers: Polarity Man’s powers mainly come from his mechanical power suit, which he has dubbed the “Patroller”. The suit’s capabilities include jet propulsion flight with a recorded Mach 2 speed limit, enhanced strength, radiation and atmospheric-pressure resistance, satellite wave interception, a visual scanner, and an arm blaster which fires radioactive or electrical energy at either short bursts or prolonged streams.
The lieutenant himself has one specific power which is the generation of a negatively charged energy with radioactive elements. In fact, his physiology changes to a plasma-like state when he generates enough of this energy that allows him to phase through certain solid surfaces, mainly the metal plating of the Patroller as it lacks an entry hatch.
Weaknesses: The two halves of Polarity Man cannot function without the other; Lawrence Trainor requires the suit to regulate his energy production or he risks overloading himself but the Patroller also cannot function without his unique energy signature either. The specifics of an overload are unclear but the lieutenant has no intentions of testing the theories regarding it.
Appearance: Underneath the armor and uniform are burns that have completely erased all traces of the lieutenant before becoming Polarity Man. To remedy this, specially prepared bandages that can help regulate the negative energy are wrapped around most of his body. This personal appearance of his is completely secret to the public though. For all they know, the Patroller suit is Polarity Man.
Character Evolution: While I personally will go with the flow of the story, I hope to see Polarity Man change from just a soldier to a real superhero over its course, perhaps even find the humanity that he lost. Other character changes will hopefully happen though I don’t have anything else in mind at the moment.
BRIEF Bio: As a USAF test pilot, Lt. Trainor had flown many top-secret aircraft out of the Langley airbase he was stationed at. The day he flew the experimental jet codenamed “Doom Patroller” was just like any other as well. The eggheads present at the flight assured him that it was going to revolutionize the way all fighter jets could respond to meta-human threats, serving as a solution rather than just a distraction. Lawrence didn’t believe the assessments, or rather, he didn’t care. However, once the jet’s systems shut off mid-flight and he started to free fall from the sky, he went from disinterested to shrieking mad in an instant. Before he hit the ground though, the jet imploded upon itself and form fitted a mechanical suit to his body that protected him from the impact.
When he came to, Lawrence was back at the air base’s medical bay but some remains of the jet had somehow fused to parts of his body like shrapnel which they were unable to remove. These pieces embedded in his skin gave off a unique energy signature that he would find to be both a curse and a blessing. He would spend months recovering from the crash and even more months learning to use the jet’s new form. While this went on, his superiors had negotiated for him to become a part of the Justice League as a US government sponsored member. Though the details of the deal are not known by the public, Polarity Man now finds himself in the ranks of the Justice League.
Notes: The character is mostly Negative Man with a twist of Robot Man, Blue Beetle and Captain Atom, while the mech appearance is the Gespenst from Endless Frontier.
Sample Post:
“Did I ever tell you how ridiculous the name ‘Polarity Man’ sounds?” said the being of pure energy emerging from the metal chassis of a jet-black mech suit, after landing in the middle of Nowhere, Virginia. Slowly, this being would reform itself into a solid state but the man that stood in its place looked quite banged up. Bandages covered a majority of his body but he otherwise looked just like any other flyboy that operated out from the Langley airbase, complete with a bomber jacket with an assortment of military badges and a pair of shades that look straight out of Top Gun. He would lay on the grassy field he found himself in, letting the minutes pass along with clouds that flew by. However, this tranquility wouldn't last long as he stood back up and continued his complaints. “I bet you the same engineers who designed the jet came up with the name. Apparently, we needed a fitting identity for the J.L. and a tagline that the public would recognize for good P.R. branding. I mean, I really don’t care bu-.”
Before he could finish his sentence, he would begin to lose his balance and fall to one knee as an electrical charge surged through his body. He stayed in such a position for a few minutes before regaining his composure as the shock stopped. “Right. Forgot about that. I guess we better suit back up, huh?” Across the man was no one else but the mech suit that he had emerged from, currently lifeless and immobile. However, the moment Lieutenant Lawrence Trainor re-entered, the systems of the machine were quick to start back up. With a smirk hidden underneath his bandages, Polarity Man would fire up his engines and hit the skies once more, patrolling to protect the free world underneath him.

I'm going to work on my own CS tonight and take a look at what's already been posted.
For original characters... know that if you have more than like six powers you're gonna have to make some edits. The main reason why I take Lanterns off the table is because there's always that one RPer who looks at a wiki list of powers and sees every single application for GL power that's ever been used [even if it was only ever done once] and thinks they need every power. To most people Green Lantern is a guy who can fly, shoot green lasers, and make glowing green constructs. And that is exactly what they were made to be. However in specific stories GL's have caused nuclear explosions, moved planets, created planets, mimicked telepathy, time traveled, made pocket dimensions, performed life saving surgery, created wormholes, etc. Nobody needs that kinda power in a group RP. And you've gotta save some powers for other players. It's not that I won't accept anybody with similar powers, but know that if I do it won't be many. If I got CS's for a dozen powerless vigilante Batman types... I MIGHT accept maybe four.
I want players in large quantity for this, but not at the cost of quality. In some cases you could probably just make the descriptions shorter and group some abilities together. For example... Superman has a ton of powers. To trim them down a little I'd put 'heightened physical attributes, sensory based powers including heat and x-ray vision, and flight. Bing bang BOOM. I'd likely ask their physical limits and then we'd know what kinda raw strength and speed everyone has. But yeah, I specifically said 'don't get too nuts' so if you did I'll likely skip powers and look at the rest of the CS for now and get back to you.
Oh, and my character will be the classic non-android Manhunter. Also not to be confused with everyone's favorite Martian...

I've got notes for everybody who's posted sheets. One sec...
@Pathfinder The sheet looks good so far. Hope to see it finished.
@Weird Tales Reminds me of your guy from Futures End. He needs to be aged up to at least 20-21. 'Divine Shapes' also seems like too much and another potential recruit is looking to use the Ray who's essentially a dumbed down GL. 'God's Will' is basically telekinesis with a couple sub-powers, however sub-powers are powers all the same. An area attack, enhancing punches, AND moving stuff with your mind is already formidable enough. And you've got more powers beyond that.
@Experiment 249 The demon and the angel both have too many powers. The neutral side is good to go. Hope to see this sheet finished! Puts me in the mind of Man-E-Faces from He-Man. First a guy with 'Four categories of powers' and now a guy with three forms like a Super Saiyan. You guys did see where I said not to get too nuts? Both are still good distinct characters. It's cool if you wanna be magic/supernatural themed, just leave some powers for others. If somebody applied with Dr. Fate and wiki listed everything he's ever done I'd even tell them to trim it down.
@WXer Accepted! Reminded me more of Negative Man with a dash of Ironman. I'm giddy the first hero accepted is based on Negative Man. This just made my 4th LOL.

Remember when I said I wouldn't post this for a few days?
I LIED.
Anyway, here's my sheet. Just need to add bio.
Name: Vic Sage (born Charles Victor Szasz)
Age: 26
Personality: Brave - Ruthless - Determined - Paranoid - Eccentric
Archetype: Standard human
Appearance: Vic is a rather average man, standing at 5'9 with a slim yet athletic figure and almost always seen wearing a suit and tie. He has red hair that he keeps short and neat, and no facial hair to speak of. In addition, he has fair skin and brown eyes, giving him the image of a nine-to-five office worker instead of a dangerous vigilante.
Vic's costume usually consists of a suit, a trench coat, and a fedora; however, if he needs to act immediately, he will just use whatever he was wearing at the time. He wears a mask of Pseudoderm (artificial skin originally designed as a bandage), which cements itself to his face using a special bonding gas. The gas also changes the color of his clothing, in addition to changing his hair color from red to black. Finally, his costume sports elevator shoes, boosting his height by two inches.
Character Evolution: I'd like for Question to begin as a very standoffish person, rarely interacting with others if it isn't on a mission. Over time, he would slowly befriend one hero (or multiple heroes) and open up to them. And, if anyone decides to play Huntress and is open to it, then I'd like to have a romance similar to the one they shared in the JLU cartoon (because that pairing will always be my OTP).
Bio: Charles Victor Szasz was born to a prostitute and one of her clients, whom she only ever referred to as 'Walter'. Despite what most would think, his home life wasn't horrible, or at least it wasn't as bad as it could have been. His mother did her best to care for him, never blaming him for her problems or taking out her anger on him, and she ensured that Charles had the best life that she could provide.
However, outside of home, Charles was frequently the target of bullying and scorn due to his mother's profession and origin within the slums. Most of the time, Charles would just take it and never react; however, when he was ten, he was taken away by Child Protective Services after getting into a fight with two boys who cornered him, which ended in one boy being blinded in one eye by a lit cigarette and the other having part of his cheek bitten off.
When asked what made him do this, he stated that they called him a 'whoreson' and various other things. Normally, he would be fine with this, but when one asked the other if he thought Charles's mother would suck their dicks for a dollar, he flew into a rage. He was sent to a run-down home for problematic children, and everything he did that could be perceived as bad was punished with a few hard wraps on the knuckles with a yard stick. Despite many attempts, he was never adopted by a family, and spent the rest of his childhood and adolescence there.
At eighteen, Charles was let go from the home. He did his best to track down his mother, only to discover that she had died five years earlier. Jobless, homeless, and with no hope left, he was found and taken in by a college professor named Aristotle 'Tot' Rodor, who became something like the father that Charles never had. He changed his name to Vic Sage and, with Tot's help, got into college and graduated with a major in journalism. He got a job at a news station at the age of 22, and became an anchorman at the age of 24.
A year ago, Tot approached Vic and informed him that one of his colleagues, Arby Twain, was going to sell a substance called Pseudoderm to third world countries despite its toxicity if applied to open wounds. Vic wanted to take Twain down, but could not do so as himself because of his famous features. Tot then suggested that Vic use a mask made of Pseudoderm to do so, and Vic agreed. Vic took down Twain, getting a recorded confession from him, before binding him in Pseudoderm and leaving him in front of the police station along with a copy of the confession.
After that, Vic decided that this new alter-ego would be useful, and began to use it to fight crime and dig up leads where he couldn't go as Vic Sage. Eventually, Tot modified the bonding gas for Pseudoderm to also change Vic's hair color and the color of his clothing, and Vic gave this alter-ego a name: The Question. And so, the faceless vigilante as we know him was born. After a year of fighting crime, he heard about how the Justice League was recruiting, and decided to join them in order to enact justice on a larger scale.
Notes: This Question takes inspiration from the DCAU Question, Rorschach from Watchmen, and some of my own personal additions. Expect a character that's basically Rorschach if he didn't kill criminals and was obsessed with conspiracies... Wait, sorry; Conspiracy, singular.
He speaks in a pidgin fashion, which means that any conversations with him will be laconic and to the point. One would easily mistake it for broken English if it wasn't for his American accent.
Now in Microhero form! With the original costume to boot!
I LIED.
Anyway, here's my sheet. Just need to add bio.
Name: Vic Sage (born Charles Victor Szasz)
Age: 26
Personality: Brave - Ruthless - Determined - Paranoid - Eccentric
Archetype: Standard human
Pragmatic Combatant: Vic is adept at hand-to-hand combat, his fighting style mostly consisting of a combination of street fighting and boxing. In addition to this, he is known to do anything to win a fight, including using objects within the environment as weapons and resorting to dirty tricks (I.E. hitting his opponent in the privates).
Genius: Vic is highly intelligent, being able to use this intellect to decipher codes and, well, ciphers, hack into computer terminals and other electronics, and plan strategies.
Master Detective: Vic is a brilliant investigator, though he's still a long way from being at Batman's skill level. He can spot even the smallest of details and make deductions from minuscule evidence.
Indomitable Will: Vic has a resolve of steel; if he sets his mind to something, he does it. All of it. This allows him to resist torture and any other attempts to break his mind or spirit. This doesn't mean that he can take said torture for long without passing out or dying from the pain; just that he won't give in to it.
Strong Sense of Justice (upside): Without a doubt, Vic is someone who will always stand by his views of good and evil; he believes in moral absolutism, good and evil with no shades of grey, and will not compromise on his views for anything. Justice must be held, and evil must be punished. Because of these views, it is almost impossible to make him turn from the side of good.

Justice must be held, and evil must be punished. Because of these views, it is almost impossible to make him turn from the side of good.
Normal Human: Unlike most of the League, Vic is just a normal human. He still needs to eat, drink, and sleep, he is not fast enough to dodge bullets, he is not durable enough to shrug off knives and other weapons, and he is not strong enough to punch holes in concrete walls; he's just a normal man trying to do good.
No Gadgetry: Unlike other heroes with no powers who have a vast array of gadgets to aid them in their acts of vigilantism, Vic only has his bare hands and whatever is around him. He doesn't have a grappling hook, question mark shaped boomerangs, or shark repellent (though that would be useful).
Glass Jaw: To add to one of my last statements, Vic is not durable, even by normal human standards. While definitely stronger than most normal humans, it does not extend to defense. If a person with super strength were to punch him, he would most likely be crushed like a bug even if they toned their strength down.
Bad Reputation: Vic is a well-known crackpot, and others usually avoid him because of this. Of course, this reputation is warranted, due to his paranoid nature, ruthlessness bordering on psychopathy, and anti-social attitude. Due to his reputation, people are hesitant to work with him and unlikely to trust him.
Horrible With Others: Vic is very independent, and does not enjoy working with others. While he will suck it up most of the time, if someone comes up with a plan that he doesn't like, he will ignore it in favor of his own plan.
Strong Sense of Justice (downside): Vic's belief that evil must be punished is so strong that he will not let a villain get away with their crimes (even if bringing said villain to justice would bring about the end of the world or something similar). Similarly, if someone does something evil for the greater good, he will not let them go unpunished. The only way to prevent him from enacting justice on those he perceives as evil is to kill him.
No Gadgetry: Unlike other heroes with no powers who have a vast array of gadgets to aid them in their acts of vigilantism, Vic only has his bare hands and whatever is around him. He doesn't have a grappling hook, question mark shaped boomerangs, or shark repellent (though that would be useful).

Similarly, if someone does something evil for the greater good, he will not let them go unpunished. The only way to prevent him from enacting justice on those he perceives as evil is to kill him.
Vic's costume usually consists of a suit, a trench coat, and a fedora; however, if he needs to act immediately, he will just use whatever he was wearing at the time. He wears a mask of Pseudoderm (artificial skin originally designed as a bandage), which cements itself to his face using a special bonding gas. The gas also changes the color of his clothing, in addition to changing his hair color from red to black. Finally, his costume sports elevator shoes, boosting his height by two inches.
Character Evolution: I'd like for Question to begin as a very standoffish person, rarely interacting with others if it isn't on a mission. Over time, he would slowly befriend one hero (or multiple heroes) and open up to them. And, if anyone decides to play Huntress and is open to it, then I'd like to have a romance similar to the one they shared in the JLU cartoon (because that pairing will always be my OTP).

The Question stands at his perch on the rooftop of an office building. In the distance, he hears a car alarm, and adjusts his fedora before running across the rooftops in the direction of said alarm. Soon enough, he arrives at the scene, finding a man breaking into a parked car. 'Carjacking,' Question thinks, 'easy.'
Swiftly and silently, Question slips down the fire escape on the side of the building. He peeks around the corner, looking at the criminal as he fumbles about inside the car, attempting to hotwire it. 'First time carjacking... Correction: very easy.'
Gracefully, Question flits about from shadow to shadow, making his way to the car. Soon enough he stands next to the driver's door, the car thief not noticing him. Question punches the door's window, breaking through it and grabbing the thief by the throat at the same time.
After dragging the thief out of the broken window and into the street, Question stands menacingly over him. The thief, cowering, looks up at the faceless vigilante in a mix of fear and shock. "Y-your fucking face!" He stammers out in disbelief.
Question shrugs, "Acne cream."
"S-shit man, don't kill me! I'll... I'll split the profit with you after I sell the c-car! Just don't kill m-me, please!" The thief raises his hands to cover his face. Question stares at the man for a moment... Before chuckling. The would-be carjacker looks at him in disbelief, then asks: "The hell is so funny?"
"Won't kill you," Question pauses, and the thief sighs a breath of belief. "Will knock you out."
"Wait, wha- OOF!" The thief is silenced by a quick kick to the face, and his eyes roll back as he slips into blissful unconsciousness. The Question stands over him for a moment, before pulling out a pair of handcuffs and handcuffing the thief to a streetlamp. With one last chuckle, Question reaches into his coat pocket and pulls out his calling card, dropping it in the thief's lap as he goes.
An hour later, two police officers find a man in ratty clothing cuffed to a streetlamp. In his lap, they find a plain white business card. One officer picks it up, and drops it in surprise when it emits smoke. When the smoke clears, the two officers look at the card on the ground, seeing that a black question mark has appeared on it. A breeze blows the card off the ground, and the two officers watch as it flits away into the night.

@Member 00492 God's will is mostly for utility and the shockwave while powerful is not super powerful. Divine shapes is mainly based upon God's ability to create things, he can only create basic shapes at the moment. I understand your concerns but given his weaknesses I thought they easily balanced out his powers

...
That'll work too.
The rest of the sheet is great. IDK about calling him the second best detective next to Batman though... especially at 26.
I forgot to mention Superman, Batman, and GL will all be in their late 40's to early 50's. The whole reason for the JLU happening will be a little different. Depending on who applies with who, two other heroes will be picked to have been in the 'older JL'. Those two will have been killed and now the remaining JL founders are recruiting heroes to one day protect the world without them if and when they finally get taken down or retire.

I was going off of some of his descriptions in the comics, where he's said to be the second best detective in the world, behind Batman. I can change it if you want.
EDIT: Then again, that incarnation of Vic is in his early to mid thirties I believe, so yeah.
