[center][img]http://baku-panda.org/images/kai_ro.png[/img][/center] [b]Character You're Applying For[/b]: [indent]Kai-ro ([color=lime]Green Lantern[/color])[/indent] [b]Powers And Abilities[/b]: [indent]Kai-ro possesses a Green Lantern power ring, which allows Kai-ro to create green constructs from the sheer force of will and imagination. The ring also provides a protective aura around his body, enabling him to fly in atmosphere or the vacuum of space, and allows for faster-than-light travel in space. The ring has the ability to remotely access the Book of Oa, supplying Kai-ro with knowledge and information overlays that aid his investigations and activities on behalf of the GLC. In addition, Kai-ro was trained in police tactics by [b]Killowog[/b] and is proficient with both armed and unarmed combat.[/indent] [b]Origin And Backstory[/b] (In A Maximum Of Four Paragraphs): [indent][i]Well, you see, what happened was...[/i] Born into an impoverished family living in the Tibetan region of Earth, Kai-ro became one of many boys orphaned into the various Buddhist temples throughout the Himalayas. As a result, Kai-ro is fluent in both Tibetan and Mandarin Chinese, being formally educated in the latter while more often speaking the former in normal conversation while 'growing up monk' in the mountains. Functioning like a boarding school and orphanage, the monastery saw to all of Kai-ro's basic needs while providing for his education in both the traditional schools of thought. It was during Year 0 of our story's continuity that Kai-ro's life became something beyond that of a simple monk, living and learning in a temple in Tibet. For it was in that year that Kai-ro stumbled across a jade ring in the Buddhist Temple. The ring seemed to come to life, flying onto his hand as a voice suddenly echoed inside his head and said... [i]Kai-ro of Earth, you have the ability to overcome great fear[/i]. Transported across the stars to the planet [b]Oa[/b], Kai-ro's unexpected arrival broke open the all-but-forgotten [b]cold case[/b] surrounding the disappearance of the Green Lantern known as Abin Sur. Now, as he graduates from his training and joins the interstellar police force known as the Green Lantern Corps, Kai-ro returns to the planet of his birth and finds himself in the middle of a murder mystery.[/indent] [b]What Makes This Character 'Ultimate'?[/b]: [indent]To start, Kai-ro (the Green Lantern of the [i]Beyond[/i] universe) takes the place of Hal Jordan as Abin Sur's successor. Second, this concept focuses on the Green Lantern Corps as a crime drama, while introducing aspects of a larger universe that includes both the GLC and the Nova Corps (for myself, I'm picturing the GLC as operating similar to the U.S. Coast Guard in its function as a primary law enforcement agency, whereas the Nova Corps is more akin to the U.S. Navy in its function as a military force...)[/indent] [b]Supporting Characters[/b]: [hider][indent]• [b]Ch'p[/b], a H'lven Green Lantern and Kai-ro's patrol partner for Sector 2814. • [b]Killowog[/b], a Bolovaxian Green Lantern and Kai'ro's supervisor in the field. • [b]Aya[/b], an artificial intelligence that controls Kai-ro and Ch'p's assigned patrol cruiser • [b]Carter Ghazikhanian[/b], a human mutate living in the lower east side of Hell's Kitchen on Earth, an area known as Mutant Town. • [b]Green Dragon[/b] (Chang), a human empowered by a weapon of Qward and an enforcer for the Bak'sur Clan on Earth. • [b]Tybalt Bak'sur[/b], one of the crime bosses of the interstellar mafia known as the [i]Weaponers of Qward[/i], currently moving weapons and slaves through Sector 2814. • [b]Bolphunga the Unrelenting[/b], a rival crime boss within the Weaponers of Qward. • [b]Ub'x the Conquerer[/b] (aka Ub'x the Bastard), a H'lven warlord who usurped political control of Sector 1014 and installed himself as dictator. The resulting civil war has largely devastated the region and caused a great deal of criticism within the interstellar community for the lack of a decisive response by either the Nova Corps or Green Lantern Corps. • [b]Flicker[/b], an intergalactic bounty hunter. • [b]Jakul[/b], a Z'nyx prince and interstellar mafioso wannabe.[/indent][/hider] [center][hr][hr][h2]POST CATALOGUE[/h2][hr][hr] MARY JANE'S LAST DANCE [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/4699498]Part 1[/url] • [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/4700294]Part 2[/url] • [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/4701030]Part 3[/url] • [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/4701392]Part 4[/url] • [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/4703963]Part 5[/url] • [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/4704754]Part 6[/url] • [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/4705608]Part 7[/url] • [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/4706350]Part 8[/url] • [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/4706523]Part 9[/url] [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/4706674]Epilogue[/url] ORPHAN'S LAMENT [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/4706865]Part 1[/url] • [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/4711292]Part 2[/url] • [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/4718137]Part 3[/url] • [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/4718230]Part 4[/url] • [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/4718823]Part 5[/url] • [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/4723177]Part 6[/url] [/center]
