Hank and Jan's established and pretty central with what I have coming up in season 2.

I'd have had an updated season 2 app up, but I've been pretty busy with the event/crisis stuff.

Lord Wraith Actually Three Otters in a Trenchcoat

Member Seen 2 hrs ago

Thank you very much for the kind words and the acceptance!

I'm probably going take a page from my fanfic roots and build something of a small backlog built up before I start posting anything. So like soon but not too soon? August just happens to be kinda a hectic month for me: first week is the annual family vacation, and the last week I start my last year of undergrad. So having some posts saved up for that initial rush will hopefully help me keep to a manageable once a week posting schedule. Or at least that is the current plan, who knows what will happen!


That's not a problem! I know a few others are doing the same thing so that works for me.

In other news, I think this is now finished enough I can put it up:

C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T P R O P O S A L
C I T I Z E N S T E E L


N A T H A N I E L H E N R Y H E Y W O O D G O V E R N M E N T A G E N T W A S H I N G T O N D . C . A . R . G . U . S .
C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T:


"Get behind me."
"Where's your shield?"
"I am the shield."

C I T I Z E N S T E E L

Following Stryfe's attack on the United States and the creation of the Department of Metahuman Affairs, tensions between the general and metahuman populaces are at an all-time high. Even with all the good that the likes of Wonder Woman and the X-Men accomplished during the attack on New York, superheroes need a new face. They need a visage that reminds the people of the better times, not someone like Supergirl who gives off echoes of Wonder Woman. The people of the United States long for a certain cut of hero, one that is distinctly different from the Amazonian Warrior.

Enter, Citizen Steel.

Nathaniel Heywood is a homegrown American hero. An honourably discharged member of the United States Marine Corps, this is a soldier intended to remind the populace of the legendary Captain America. Heywood was one of several candidates approached by Amanda Waller to undergo an experimental procedure that promised to put the amputee back in fighting shape. Not only did Heywood regain his leg, but he also acquired the ability to coat his entire body in a steel-like substance, making him nearly impervious to conventional forms of harm. Backed by a division of Homeland Security known as A.R.G.U.S., the Advanced Research Group Uniting Superhumans, Citizen Steel is ready to take on the world and change public perception on superheroes and metahumans alike.

C H A R A C T E R M O T I V A T I O N S & G O A L S:

I chose to do Citizen Steel in order to have a vessel to direct this upcoming season's GM plot through. My goal is firstly to drive a stronger, more defined overarching plot going into Season Two, but also Citizen Steel will allow for more collaborative efforts and stories than what I have planned with Batman. Where Batman is very much off in his own corner, Citizen Steel will be wherever he needs to, going on missions across the United States, if not the world. Where Batman was treated as an urban myth, Steel is going to be very public. He's under a microscope every day, every action and every decision. This is a man who's being used to push forward an agenda, one he might not even fully comprehend yet.

Obviously, both in and out of 'verse, Citizen Steel is going to be inspired by Captain America. For me, that means MCU version of the character. But Steel will also be inspired by his DC's Legends of Tomorrow Counterpart and even some Superman. He's meant to be an all-American boy scout, an ideal to strive for.

Compared to Batman, I don't have his story fully fleshed out yet, and unlike Batman, many of his supporting cast will be available for other players to reference and interact with, just give me the courtesy of a heads up. His story is going to be based on the duality of his identity and more heart than brawn. Nathaniel was given the opportunity of a lifetime, and he's going to have to deal with how if something seems too good to be true it probably is, all while the world around him changes in real-time.

◼ Bordeaux, Sasha - Supervisory Special Agent
---Speech Colour: TBD

One of A.R.G.U.S.'s highest ranking and most respected agents, Supervisory Special Agent Sasha Bordeaux was assigned to Nathaniel Heywood to act as Citizen Steel's handler. Known as Waller's Right Hand, Sasha Bordeaux is assumed to be the ideal replacement for the Wall should she ever choose to retire. For the time being, however, Sasha's orders are to ensure that no harm comes to America's newest superhero.

◼ Calvin, Wilma - Chief Medical Researcher
---Speech Colour: TBD

Among A.R.G.U.S.'s staff, Dr. Wilma Calvin is known as the Miracle Worker. It was Dr. Calvin who led the team that performed Project Gladiator, intending to replicate the procedure that gifted the world Captain America during the Second World War. Instead, they created Citizen Steel. While Dr. Calvin continues to try to replicate the Super Soldier Serum, she is also mandated to perform regular check ups on Nathaniel to ensure A.R.G.U.S.'s newest asset is kept in prime condition.

◼ Hammer, Justin* - Independent Weapons Contractor
---Speech Colour: TBD

Snarky, Suave and not Tony Stark, three phrases which can be used to describe Justin Hammer. One of the world's leading weapon designers, Hammer has never received the same recognition as the likes of Stark and Osbourne. Despite this, Hammer is still recognized as a mechanical genius and is the leading developer not only for Citizen Steel's suit and weapons but also all of A.R.G.U.S.'s anti-metahuman arsenal.
*Disclaimer: Justin Hammer is under the jurisdiction of @Webboysurf who has kindly granted me use of the character. Any and all characterization is subject to change at his whim.

◼ Morse, Barbara - Agent of A.R.G.U.S.
---Speech Colour: TBD

A member of Dr. Calvin's Project Gladiator, Dr. Barbara 'Bobbi' Morse is a bright, young biologist turned agent of A.R.G.U.S. Assigned to Citizen Steel, Bobbi is Nathaniel's chief caretaker and reports the heroes achievements, limits and general health to Dr. Calvin. in addition to medical, Agent Morse is a trained field operative and often accompanies Citizen Steel when the hero is deployed.

◼ Waller, Amanda* - Director of A.R.G.U.S.
---Speech Colour: TBD

What happens when an unstoppable object meets an unmoveable wall? Amanda 'The Wall' Waller is a force few can stand to be in the presence of, let alone stand up to. Unflinching in her resolution, it is Amanda Waller who made A.R.G.U.S. the asset it is today. Acting as Director of the organization, Waller has contacts within S.H.I.E.L.D., the United Nations and especially the Oval Office. Rivalled only by Nicholas J. Fury as the world's foremost intelligence agent, there is little Waller doesn't have her hands in or know about.
*Disclaimer: Amanda Waller is a public character, while she's necessary for Citizen Steel's story, I understand that she's a character with widespread influence and by no means claim exclusivity over her use.

C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T P R O P O S A L
G H O S T R I D E R


Johnathon "Johnny" Blaze Stuntman L.A / Hell Bounty Hunter Of Satan
C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T:


"Let's raise some Hell."

People coming back from the dead is sort of my favorite trope of all time. I love the idea of death never being the end, and I think few characters and embody that as well as Ghost Rider can. A Spirit Of Vengence, born from hell to serve good. It's hitting all of the notes of things I really like, being a avid fan of most takes on Judeo Christian mythology. In this game I've got a yearning for Magic, and while there are more characters on the table to scratch that itch, few of them are so close to my wheelhouse as Ghost Rider. Where I can combine my love for street level ultra-violence with high concept battles of good and evil and supernatural horror. In short - my take on Ghost Rider is gonna be combining street thugs, criminal gangs and the immortal battle of heaven and hell - and a stuntman caught in all of it.

C H A R A C T E R M O T I V A T I O N S & G O A L S:

Johnny Blaze is a pretty ordinary 20-something guy. He's a stuntman. A daredevil and a body double for big actors in Hollywood movies. Or rather, that's who he was. As the my story will be about changing that. How a satanic cult murders him and sells their souls to the Devil in exchange for power and riches. With his dying breath, Johnny makes a pact himself, to get revenge. The Demon Mephisto's more than willing to assist, and locks the fate of Johnny with the everlasting abyssal demon Zarathos, turning him into the spirit of Vengeance - the Ghost Rider. And his one goal is to get revenge on the recently demonically endowed people who were responsible for his death, while still being used as a pawn in the bigger schemes of both heaven and hell. His job is to collect the debts the infernal realm is owed while trying to uncover the truth behind his powers and Mephisto who granted him a new chance at life.

C H A R A C T E R N O T E S:

Allies:

Zarathos - Demon and Lackey of Mephisto, much to his chagrin. Co-Pilot of The Ghost Rider. One of the baddest motherfuckers Hell ever spawned.

Craig "Crash" Simpson - Father to Roxanne and at the time of Johnny's death, the closest thing to a fatherfigure Mr.Blaze ever knew. Now, he's in a hospital bed in a coma following a stroke.

Roxanne Simpson - Seven Years ago, Roxanne was his Girlfriend.

Enemies:

The Six - The former group of criminals who were responsible for Johnny and Roxanne's assault. They made a deal with Mephisto for their souls in exchange for power, and are now, 3 years before their deals are supposed to come due, working on a way to break their contract with the would-be-Devil and escape life with their souls intact.

Mephisto - One of the many rulers of the underworld. Like, the firey one. Not the criminal one. A trickster, a manipulator and overall one of the most evil creatures in all of creation.

Zadkiel And The Black Host - The Nick Fury / Amanda Waller of Heaven, except far more evil. Every bad thing the angels ever did in mythology? Yeah, Zadkiel was the one who was tasked with all of it. Planning on overthrowing Heaven and becoming the new God. So, his aspirations are pretty low.

Father Carmichael - A Protestant Priest who is highly critical of this Ghost Rider and his inherent demonic connection and is in direct contact with Heaven, spreading propaganda fed to him from the Angels. The guy is sadly technically innocent, so Johnny cannot do anything to him.

Machine Gun Nurses - a group of highly trained assassins and Demon Hunters posing as Nurses, armed with heavenly steel and bullets forged with angelic technique, making them one of the few human forces in the world that are a threat to Ghost Rider.

S A M P L E P O S T:


A sample post that can be used in the IC if you so desire upon acceptance. This post should provide an example of your vision for the desired character.

We'll see if I can continue on with what was started. I think the hardest part will be Lex Luthor rather than anything directly Supergirl related.


Welcome back to Absolute and welcome aboard as the new Supergirl! Your sheet has been accepted!

Hillan, why can't you reboot your Superhero Academy set in the DC Universe like I want you too! (at least I think that was you..)





*Sighs*

Goes back to the drawing board trying to find a character that won't step on anyone's toes.

Maybe Freddy Freeman as Shazam?
Or possibly a youngish Clark Kent before he officially becomes Superman? (would be greatly inspired by @Lord Wraith's current avatar Smallville)

No. I know better than compete with Hillan or anyone else involve (past or present) in this game when it comes to writing.

So if you're writing Flash and Ghost Rider...
