[COLOR=darkgray][color=lightgray][b]►[/b][/color]Actively seeking other players to write with as Frank pursues his plots; allied-character roles being looked for are [b][i]Micro[/i][/b] and an [b][i]as-yet unnamed cop[/i][/b] on New York's 'Punisher Taskforce'; enemy-character roles being looked for are any that would be a good fit for Frank's wheelhouse without easily overpowering him ([b][i]Jigsaw[/i][/b] would be a great classic to have).

Additionally, Frank here is intended to drift in and out of many other character's stories as he pursues his leads and targets, in the best Punisher tradition. Of particular interest are [b][i]Spider-Man[/i][/b] and [b][i]Daredevil[/i][/b], as the collaboration of these three is a foundation of Marvel's approach to the trio, but also of interest would be [b][i]Batman[/i][/b], for the stark contrast in how each character operates, and also [b][i]Green Arrow[/i][/b], who adopts a similar no-mercy approach.[/color][/sup]

[COLOR=DARKGRAY][indent][b]Frank Castle[/b]: ex-soldier, special forces. Probably suffering from war-related PTSD; [i]definitely [/i]suffering from whole-family-murdered-before-his-eyes PTSD. Self-prescribed therapy: finding those who orchestrated his tragedy, and wipe them from the face of the earth.  

Similarly to the Netflix series, my Frank will be an intensely tortured and intensely [i]violent[/i] man who, having exacted his particular brand of vengeance upon those responsible for his family's death, decided to pretend he wanted to leave that life behind and live out the rest of his days as a ghost; but there's only so long a man like Frank can pretend to ignore the shit-filled world around him. New heroes simply frustrate him, more emerging vigilantes who remain unwilling or unable to take the necessary steps to stamp out the very sins they came forward to battle against. 

So he's back, no longer a whispered rumour, a horror story petty thugs tell each other on long nights; now a terrifying revenant. The Punisher, returned to exact his punishment. 
His methods are brutal - 
His methods are controversial -
His methods are extreme - 
But they are [i]final[/i].

[COLOR=DARKGRAY][INDENT]Frank is a classic Marvel character, the original darker-and-edgier blood-knight, and a staple of many other big-ticket Marvel heroes, Frank's MO being the polar opposite to how we understand 'superheroes' to operate in traditional media. I want to use that contrast to highlight why we love Punisher, and how he's endured for so long (originally appearing as a strange anti-hero antagonist in Spider-Man before his popularity got him repeat appearances and eventually his own series!), but also how Punisher's character can be also used to emphasise the reasons we love our more traditional heroes as well.

Ideally I'm looking to play Frank as a Roaming Character who is pursuing (as always) his own war and his own targets, enveloped in some grand conspiracy once again that has him bouncing from lead to lead, crossing paths with many other heroes, and leaving a significant body-count behind him as he goes.[/INDENT][/COLOR][/cell][/row][/table][center][color=silver][sup][i][url=https://youtu.be/gu-oI2OzRuw]"I tell them I just close my eyes."[/url][/i][/sup][/color][/center][hr][/COLOR]
