The idea that anyone can achieve success through hard work and determination in the United States of America. No barriers. No restraints. However, somewhere along the way, it died and became a trap to lure the desperate. While they may still obtain their freedom, they are forever stuck in the bottom while those in the top remain untouched. In recent years, there had been movements and groups that tried to challenge the system and demand meaningful change. But like everything that tends to happen, they were either crushed or forgotten by the majority of the population. That was until now. Non-stop protests across racism, police brutality, and other problems plaguing America. While people are protesting for change, there are four individuals who know what's going to happen next. They decide to stand their ground and force change as the American Dream is slowly decaying. They have been affected by both the dream and the system. They have been forgotten by those in their ivory towers. They are [b]Misfits[/b]. [indent][color=96B476]Tremor:[/color] Being a second-generation Indian American, Roshanna Chatterji spent her life trying to achieve the dream. That was until a drunk driver forever changed her life. Her mother died on the scene while her father lost feeling on his legs. The driver turned out to be the offspring of a well-known businesswoman, who was able to sweep the incident under the table while the Chatterjis had to deal with the medical bills. Her father became addicted and overdosed on painkillers. Roshanna left shortly after the funeral. [color=87979E]Virtue:[/color] Holly Ann Fields witnessed her father getting beaten to death by police officers after being mistaken for a robbery suspect. The officers involved in the murder got away, but the police department was forced to pay the Ann-Fields in a settlement. That caused some in the department to start harassing them for years. Getting tired of it, Holly exposed them in a post that went viral and painted a huge target on her back. Being a small-town police department, they were able to send her a clear message. Fearing for her life, Holly fled to protect her family. [color=873946]Anarky:[/color] A Gothamite that grew up on the East Side of Gotham City, Lonnie Machin lived in an abusive household where his parents treated him like garbage. They were struggling to pay rent so his father began working for the Beretti crime family. His mother started stealing for the people that she was cleaning for. Eventually, both of them were caught and sent to prison for the crime of surviving in a fucked up place like Gotham. Lonnie was put in a statehouse and faced more abuse until he was kicked when he became eighteen. [color=7D529A]Bunker:[/color] Miguel Barragan was unaware of being an undocumented citizen until he tried to apply for a driver's license. He tried to remain under the radar for most of his senior year until he came home to an empty house one day. His parents and baby sister were picked up by immigration agents. Fortunately, he was able to stay in a friend's house while he earned his high school diploma. Yet, the constant fear that someone was going to take him away caused him to leave. He had been on the move for a year now.[/indent][/i][/indent][/indent] [INDENT][B][SUP][SUB][H3][color=#89767D]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[/color][/H3][/SUB][/SUP][/B][/INDENT][hr][INDENT][INDENT][i][s]This is my backup, backup character.[/s] Anyway, like with Batman and Son of Zod, I still want to focus on and explore the real America. Not the one made up by propagandists and fantasized by older generations. And each of the four main characters has been affected by the flaws of the United States (Tremor: Healthcare and Big Pharma; Virtue: Police Brutality and Corruption; Anarky: Poverty and the System; and, Bunker: Undocumented and Immigration). If you're one of those people that hates politics in media ([b]especially in video games and comics[/b]), you aren't going to enjoy this. Yet, not every post is going to be political. I want to explain how these met up with each other and formed The Misfits. Explore how they go on with their lives in a post-Cold War/9-11 world. And I want to develop The Misfits into a respectable group that bow to neither the authorities nor the government. Hopefully, our characters are able to interact with each other and explore the fundamental differences between them. And I should mention that this group is based on [url=https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/The_Movement_(Prime_Earth)]The Movement[/url]. I just changed the name (because it was too on the nose) and removed/added some characters. I hope that's fine.[/i][/indent][/indent] [INDENT][B][SUP][SUB][H3][color=#89767D]C H A R A C T E R N O T E S[/color][/H3][/SUB][/SUP][/B][/INDENT][hr][INDENT][INDENT][i]Coral City, California: A city with a corrupt police department and a corrupt city hall.

To find himself away from the place that changed his life forever. In secret, he spent those years learning everything required to uphold his promise. Boxing with the world-famous Wildcat in Boston, acrobatics at a circus in Cologne, intimidation and interrogation from former Spetsnaz agents at Norilsk, and plenty of other useful skills learned across the world. It wasn't cheap nor painless, but he appreciated every single one of his teachers. There was more to learn, but the life-changing experience in the caves of New Mexico opened his eyes to something possible. Upon setting foot on the epoxy flooring of the lavish airport, Wayne saw how much it had changed since he left it years ago. It got an expensive makeover along with a new terminal facility and runway thanks to donations from infamous Carmine Falcone. Almost everyone knew that he was Don of the Falcone Crime Family, but it was clear that the politicians and police were in his pocket. Wayne approached a massive fountain, inspired by the Fontana del Tritone in Rome, and read the plaque: [center][b]THE FOUNTAIN OF GOTHAM Donated by the Falcone Family in honor of Gotham City's rich history. [sub]Any coins generously thrown will go support Gotham General Hospital.[/sub][/b][/center] Wayne reached into his pocket, pulled out a quarter, and flicked it at the fountain. Then, he made his way outside and saw Gotham's skyline for the first time in years. There were several skyscrapers still unfinished in various stages of completion, just like it was years ago. Mayor Hill and the city council talked about having Gotham City's skyline rival Metropolis' or even New York City's. Of course, it was all nonsense because the project cost billions. But, it seemed that the same family is helping to make that dream a reality (along with a few other wealthy families and individuals). Even with the touch-up, it was meant to cover up the city's ugly truth. And all someone had to do was drive beyond the tourist attractions. [color=ffd800]"Did you say Park Row?"[/color] the taxi driver asked Wayne. [color=6e7f80]"Yeah... The Community Clinic."[/color] Wayne answered while watching the driver's reaction through the rearview mirror. It was clear that he was nervous and scared about traveling there. Nevertheless, the driver didn't say anything and kept on driving. There was reason to fear Park Row that Wayne couldn't even dismiss. It was filled with criminals and became a hotbed of crimes ranging from robbery to murder. The clinic was always filled with patients that sought aid and safety without judgment. It was one of the few remaining reminders of its past before... that night. The taxi driver stopped in front of the clinic and unlocked only Wayne's door. He exited out of the cab and went to pay the driver. Wayne tried to thank the driver, but he already sped off. He didn't blame the driver for wanting to leave. After all, he was terrified of going to Park Row and being robbed at knifepoint. The truth was that nobody was going to bother robbing a tax driver, but the lie was still being spread by the police, politicians, and the media. Interested in seeing his surrogate family, Wayne made his way inside the clinic. Once inside, Wayne noticed the people waiting for their names to be called. It wasn't crowded as usual on a weekday, which was either a good or bad sign. Immediately, a familiar voice called out his name. [color=48929b]"Bruce?!"[/color] It was Marva Cooper still working at the garage based on the grease stains on her overalls. She gave him a tight hug before asking, [color=48929b]"What the hell are you doing back?!"[/color] [color=6e7f80]"Got tired of exploring the world."[/color] Wayne answered sarcastically and then noticed that she was at the clinic. [color=6e7f80]"What are [b]you[/b] doing here?"[/color] [color=48929b]"Just waiting for my dad to finish up with his appointment. Nothing serious, just a routine checkup ordered by Leslie herself."[/color] Cooper sat back down and waited for Wayne to sit next to her. She noticed that he had something on his mind and decided to say something. [color=48929b]"Hey, are you alright?"[/color] [color=6e7f80]"I... Actually, I have a favor to ask you and your father."[/color] [color=48929b]"Yeah, what is-"[/color] Before she could finish, the door opened for Earl Cooper as he was walking out with Dr. Leslie Thompkins behind him. They were in the middle of talking when Thompkins noticed Wayne, sitting there. She didn't believe it at first. But, it was a huge relief to know that he was alive after not writing back for a few weeks. Bruce got up and hugged her before she could've started crying her eyes out. Earl, meanwhile, walked over to his daughter and placed his hand on her shoulder. Both of them watched Wayne and Thompkins having a touching reunion.[/color][/indent][/indent][/indent] [hr][/hider][/i][/indent][/indent] [hr]
