On a similar note, I've made some major alterations to the Character Notes tab of my sheet. I've decided to switch some things around and change what I was gonna do with alot of characters, as I found that the previous versions weren't going to get me very far.

Most notably, Alfred is now formerly Phillip Wayne's butler/chauffeur/bodyguard/whathaveyou and left his employ to raise Bruce instead of being a private detective, I restructured who Gordon would be working with in the GCPD and their departments, and I replaced Roman Sionis as CEO of Wayne Enterprises with Edward Nigma, who I'm making more of a major villain. I also put in an entirely new version of Sionis as Black Mask and a new death cult that alludes to Ra's Al Ghul.

All of the summaries have also been heavily simplified, as I found that making their backstories extensive would limit me if I decided to switch things up along the way. While this changes little about my proposed version of Bruce/Batman himself, I just thought that necessary to bring up when considering my app.

Basically, in regards to the old app...

I should probably say that I added Dex-Starr to my character sheet.

Plan B it is, then.

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


W O N D E R W O M A N


Diana Prince Antiquities Dealer Gateway City, California, United States Independent
C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T:


"Tell your gods they need to try harder."

The world of mortal men is not the only world there is. Beyond the veil, beyond the realms of matter and energy and immutable laws of physics, there is one which shapes and is shaped by the dreams and beliefs of mortals. It does not exist, yet it always has and always will. It is a million contradictory heavens and hells all at once, each one a ridiculous myth or superstition, yet also an unquestionable truth. It is the Godsphere, the realm of every High Father, every Dark Lord, every Earth-Mother and Warbringer that ever has or ever will be imagined.

For millennia, the Godsphere and the Mortal World have been separate, as man’s stronger understanding of his own domain has weakened the need for gods or magic, the man-made light of science driving the monsters and devils into the aether. And as for those monsters who are not content to slink away into the shadowy realm of bad dreams and forgotten legend, well…...that is where I come in.

In the world between worlds, there are all manner of entities that are more than man, but less than god. In Greek, they were called daimon-- an term which evolved over centuries into the later ‘daemon’ and modern ‘demon,’ but originally meant any spirit or monster, angel or devil, giant or demigod regardless of their morality. These daimon are at least partly of the mortal world, and were not banished as easily as the Gods by the discovery of fire or the development of philosophy. Many are the sustained form of old magic, curses that live on over hundreds or thousands of years. Many contain the blood of old gods, direct descendants of Olympus or Asgard or Sheol. As the power of the Godsphere diminishes in the Mortal World, the remaining daimon have learned to live in secret, only revealing themselves to each other, before fighting to the death for a relic or temple or other scrap of godly power.

Once, the Amazons of Themyscira -- a people who now never existed, on an island that can never be found-- acted as protectors of mortal men from hostile daimon. They slew monsters, dueled with devils, cast out ghosts and spurned evil gods. As they faded from the world, they chose to entrust their knowledge and power into a single warrior, until the time came when the rift between the Mortal World and the Godsphere could be healed. A grand tournament was held, sister fighting sister, until much to everyone’s surprise, the victor emerged: the Queen’s frail, sickly daughter.

I was only twelve when my mother placed the tiara on my head, adorned me with the finest armor and weapons the Amazons had ever made, and vanished into myth. I knew one day, I would see them again, when gods and men could once again share a world in harmony. It would not be easy, it would not be a short journey. At the time, I expected it to take ten, perhaps twenty years. Certainly not more than twenty-five.

It has been nearly three thousand.

And yet, I continue. I preserve what knowledge of the Gods that I can, protect the daimon who mean no harm, and put down those who do. The Mortal World has changed so much, but my quest has not. I am Diana, last Champion of the Amazons. And I am a protector of worlds.


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’ve played different versions of Diana in the past, and while I enjoyed them, I never really felt like I got her ‘right,’ which is something I’m determined to do this time. I want to capture the spirit of an adventurous, mythical heroine embarking on globe-trotting adventures, dueling with other immortals over ancient relics, like a cross between Indiana Jones and Highlander, with a dash or two of Samurai Jack. I feel like this particular take can be as close to a “definitive” Wonder Woman as I can get without just photocopying the movie.

This version would also allow her to expand Diana’s usually lackluster rogue’s gallery beyond merely the Greek pantheon. Sure, she’ll fight Medusas and Harpies and Minotaurs and stuff, but she can also take on spirits and monsters from all over the world, and have fights and long-standing histories with other supernatural/mythical characters, like Black Adam or Shining Knight.


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













More to come as the plot develops.


S A M P L E P O S T:

"I'm offering you one chance," I call out into the dark. "You can leave this place, now, and vow to never prey on the innocent again, and I will show mercy. I offer this chance only once."

The trees rustle with motion, before mad cackling laughter fills the air.

"Foolish girl," a raspy voice hisses from the shadows. "We will not be denied our prey tonight. We will slake our thirst. This one's blood belongs to us."

The UN ambassador cowering behind me is one of the most influential forces behind the upcoming Pan-Asian Trade Agreement, responsible for opening up several blocks of the continent to hundreds of billions of dollars in business opportunities over the next ten years. He is also turning white with fear, letting out a terrified yelp as he nearly trips over the drained corpse of one of his bodyguards.

"M-m-m-my blood?" he stammers, hunching his shoulders and tucking in his chin to cover his neck. "Wh-what are they? Vampires?!"

I glance to him over my shoulder and scoff.

"Unlikely," I tell him, "I killed the last of the Romainian Stigoi nearly a century and a half ago." I had thanked and paid Mr. Stoker handsomely to discreetly edit my part in events out of his novel.

The trees rustle again. The sound of chittering laughter, the hungry smacking of lips.

"I believe we are dealing with a kind of yokai," I tell him as I draw my sword, the leaf-shaped blade of the Amazonian xyphos glittering in near total darkness as if it were broad daylight. "Specifically, a flock of nukekubi. Keep your head down-- this may be....unpleasant. Especially if I cannot find the bodies quickly."

"Give us our prey, foolish girl!" the yokai demands. "You do not know the kind of monsters you face this night."

I cannot help but smirk. Every creature I have ever encountered believes they are the supreme terror of the world, right until the moment they are cut down.

There is a shriek, a snarl, and the flapping of wings-- or rather, the flapping of ears-- as a dozen flying severed heads erupt from the trees, each of them baring a mouth full of jagged pointed fangs, long slavering tongues, and eyes full of burning hate.

"And you," I tell them as I sink into a fighting stance, sword and shield at the ready, "Do not know the kind of things I do to monsters like you."

I have absolutely no room to talk, considering my Plan A was "waltz in and rely on being buddy-buddy with MB to be handed the cape." Stupid GMs and their stupid integrity.

Instead, it was Wraith who waltzed in and was buddy-buddy with Hillan to be handed the cape.

Real talk: If I say I'm trying, and struggling, to write stuff for Lucifer, would that be held against me? I know it would be judged, but would it be held against me? I have an idea I think is going to stick.

@Inkarnate Honestly, i KNOW the copious reasons why mine wasn't accepted but i don't see why your Lantern CS wasn't accepted. It was very much compatible with what Hillan and Bounce were doing. But that Aquaman looks good so far.

Now i need to figure out what my plan b will be. I have a few idea's, but they all seem to be falling under the catagory of "I really like this idea, but i'm not confident i can keep up the story for any great deal of time." Some that i do have are "The A-Team, but with the Creature Commando's", "The Legion of Superpets." and "Lobo: In An Adventure With Space Dolphins"
