The Kings of Wakanda kept hidden the most valuable resource to the world: vibranium. It was the metal that allowed the isolated country to flourish beyond human imagination. And to keep the knowledge secured, the Black Panther sworn to fight off outsiders and invaders. It wasn't a struggle until the 20th century and the Second World War, where King Azzuri was the first ruler to work with outsiders against the Nazi machine. And as a result, he used favors to formally gained independence from the British. Yet, still untrusting of them and the superpowers, Azzuri created a false history of Wakanda to hide the truth. After Azzuri's death, his sons dueled for the throne that lasted for forty-eight hours. King T'Chaka emerged the victor and took over the mantle. With the Cold War and technology escalating at an alarming rate, he was the first ruler in Wakandan history to face the possibility of failing to protect from outsiders. And yet, he kept on being Black Panther and formed the Hatut Zeraze to force the isolationist doctrine. Even as the world was rapidly changing, T'Chaka took the time to celebrate the birth of his first child, T'Challa. T'Challa was taught about the properties of vibranium along with royal and national duties from the young age of five. And then, he was finally told about the Black Panther mantle at the age of ten. He spent weeks in the jungles learning to live off of the land like an actual Black Panther. Then, he was taught the basics of fighting and stealth thanks to the Dora Milaje, the Wakandan royal bodyguard made up entirely of women. After high school, T'Challa's father announced that he was stepping down for both politics and the mantle of Black Panther. It was the first time that the King of Wakanda retired for his role, but it wasn't fully realized until his son beat him at the coronation. T'Challa's first mission as the Black Panther caused him to travel to the neighboring country of Zambesi. Before retiring, his father was working on arresting the international black-market arms dealer known as Ulysses. Ulysses managed to be one of the few outsiders that successfully stole vibranium. T'Challa knew that he had to destroy his supply before it was sold off. He tracked down Ulysses and managed to destroy the vibranium, but he escaped and went into hiding. T'Challa spent weeks across Africa in an attempt to track him down until he finally found him in the heart of Wakanda, ready to invade it. It was an invasion that Wakanda had never faced in their lifetimes and it was deadly. Hundreds of brave Wakanadan soldiers fought off Ulysses' private military. The fighting lasted for a week and spread across the country before T'Challa personally cut off his arm and made him order the retreat. The King of Wakanda saw the cost of keeping a secret that was impossible to hide anymore. So, he made the most difficult choice and announced his plans to reveal the truth to the world. T'Chaka opposed the idea and tried to change his son's mind, but it didn't work. T'Challa was about to embark on a decision that will change his nation's history forever.[/color][/i][/indent][/indent] [INDENT][B][SUP][SUB][H3][color=564293]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][COLOR=AB9ED4]Like the last time that I played Black Panther, I want to focus on the political aspects in a world filled with super-powered individuals. Yeah, T'Challa will still kick butt if he needs to. But he will also be busy talking to countless ambassadors and leaders about the good of his nation, Wakanda. Speaking of which, I wish to be able to explore more of the secretive country and tell a story of how its citizens are handling things since the announcement. So, I'm hoping that there can be a balance between playing politics and playing the hero.[/color][/i][/indent][/indent] [INDENT][B][SUP][SUB][H3][color=564293]C H A R A C T E R N O T E S[/color][/H3][/SUB][/SUP][/B][/INDENT][hr][INDENT][INDENT][i][COLOR=AB9ED4][color=7D68BB]N'Yami[/color] - T'Challa's mother, who spends her time dealing with outsiders and ensuring that everything's smooth between Wakanda and the world.

He, his family, and the Taifa Ngao had been waiting a hour for his return. His wife, N'Yami, tried to comfort him to no effect. Nearby, the councilors were gathered into one area and began discussing the King's decision to visit the City of the Dead. Abeni listened as his fellow associates were essentially gossiping about T'Challa and the reason behind his sudden departure so quickly after the battle with Ulysses. Most of them assumed that the invasion attempt had something to do. Councilor Hodari turned his sights to Abeni and began talking to him about the issue. [color=7CAE6A]"Abeni, what are your thoughts on the matter?"[/color] Abeni thought of an answer and responded, [color=5E9256]"I'm wondering if our king sought counsel after the attempted murder on the outsider."[/color] [color=7CAE6A]"That could make sense."[/color] Hodari seemed supportive of Abeni's theory. [color=7CAE6A]"He looked horrified after he cut off the terrorist's arm."[/color] Amara Azikiwe rolled her eyes and dismissed the idea that their king was terrified of striking back ruthlessly. [color=A7E389]"Our king is the Black Panther. He isn't afraid of some blood."[/color] [color=5E9256]"But he isn't as cruel as T'Chaka was."[/color] [color=7CAE6A]"I heard that he's considering disbanding the Hatut Zeraze due to their cruelty."[/color] Other councilors were caught off guard by what Hodari said. Before they could have time to process the information, the Royal Talon Fighter appeared from the distance and began approached them. Everyone got into position and waited to hear what the king had to say after counseling with his ancestors. Meanwhile, T'Chaka finally felt relief that his son was returning and waited for the fighter to land before welcoming him back. When the ramp was lowered, his younger brother, S'Yan, walked past while he was typing something onto a notepad. T'Chaka immediately knew that something serious had taken place while in the Ancestral Plane. T'Challa emerged from the jet with Okoye by his side. His father greeted his son back at the bottom of the ramp, [color=7E4EAE]"My son, I am grateful for your return from Necropolis. I hope you found what you were looking for."[/color] [color=664EAE]"I did."[/color] T'Challa acknowledged his father and then turned his attention to everyone else. [color=664EAE]"After visiting with my ancestors, and meditating on their words, we cannot remain in the shadows anymore."[/color] [color=5E9256]"My king, I don't understand."[/color] [color=664EAE]"[b]Wakanda[/b] has to be revealed."[/color][/color][/indent][/indent][/indent][hr][/hider][/indent][/indent] [hr] [hider=Post Catalog][center][img]https://64.media.tumblr.com/ff32137c270afc41752569cc5ada78c7/tumblr_orb7iezWku1rtels1o5_540.gif[/img][/center][COLOR=564293][INDENT][B][SUP][SUB][H3]P O S T C A T A L O G[/H3][/SUB][/SUP][/B][/INDENT][hr][/COLOR][INDENT][INDENT][i]A list linking to your IC posts as they're created.
