[h3][color=#2F8C24]Powers[/color][/h3]
[indent]Conrad’s powers come from the mysterious talisman that bonded itself to his left hand. Through magic or some other unknown force, the talisman has the bodies of three creatures stored within. With a conscious thought, Conrad can activate the talisman and instantly transform into one of the creatures. In these forms, Conrad retains his mental faculties and personality, just gaining with the unique physical traits of each creature. The unique creatures are as follows.[/indent]
[indent][list][*]The Gargoyle: This is a seven foot tall lizard like creature with yellowish-brown scales. This form has two large wings that allow for flight as well as a barbed tail. The Gargoyle can lift up to ten tons and is resistant to blunt damage and some lesser bullet damage.
[*]The Hunter: This form is a long and slender green figure with pointed ears. This form has heightened senses, much greater than a human. The Hunter can also produce quills out of anywhere on its body. The Hunter can use said quills as either a defensive measure or as projectiles that can reach up to a maximum distance of fifty feet away.
[*]The Shape: This form is a purple colored humanoid with no visible features. The Shape’s form is constantly changing as it can extend all parts of its body, change their density, or shrink down. The Shape can also store kinetic energy by bouncing off things, until ready to release all the energy in one strike.[/list][/indent]

[h3][color=#2F8C24]Abilities[/color][/h3]
[indent]While most of Conrad’s knowledge is outdated for 2022, there are still some relevant things he’s good at. A lot of his medical knowledge is still useful for patching up battle injuries. He’s also in really good shape from a lifetime of prioritizing activity. Due to his training in the army, Conrad is a competent marksman, able to use this skill when firing quills as the Hunter. As a superhero, Conrad has slowly been getting the hang of fist fighting. Learned French from his Haitian grandmother[/indent]

[h3][color=#2F8C24]Weaknesses[/color][/h3]
[indent]If not for the talisman, Conrad is a human. Anything that could injure or kill a human will do so to Conrad. While using the talisman to transform, there is a hard time limit of twenty minutes. If Conrad doesn’t revert to human before then, he will do so automatically and be unable to transform into anything for twenty minutes. If Conrad ever goes unconscious, either from sleeping or getting hit on the head, he will instantly revert to human. If Conrad dies in one form, all others will simultaneously die. Each of the three creature forms have their own weaknesses.[/indent]
[indent][list][*]The Gargoyle: This form is very slow, even when in flight. Given its size and shape, the Gargoyle is hard to hide.
[*]The Hunter: While fast, this form is very fragile with bones breaking almost being guaranteed on contact. While the Hunter can produce seemingly endless amounts of quills, the more created in a short time period causes each new one to get progressively more painful. This could lead to the Hunter passing out from the pain.
[*]The Shape: Given the sheer scope of the Shape’s power, this is the most difficult form to control. It’s hard for Conrad to command this form to stretch a particular part of the body, and if he loses focus he could simply change into a purple puddle on the floor. Also since this form doesn’t have a mouth, when Conrad speaks it seems to come from everywhere at once through some unknown power, which does creep out a lot of people.[/list][/indent]

[h3][color=#2F8C24]Appearance[/color][/h3]
[indent]Conrad is of African descent, though his mixed complexion does reveal that he had an ancestor of Caucasian descent. His dark brown eyes are nice to look at. Recently, he has let his black colored hair grow out in a more modern style that he’s seen on other people. Conrad has also started to embrace modern outfits, though he’s still not crazy about color, preferring white, black, or gray sweaters and pants.[/indent]
[indent]He has also retained his costume from when he was part of the super-powered soldier squad. This consists of a dark green jacket with yellow sleeves. Conrad’s lower half is covered with black pants and boots. Notably on him is a yellow domino mask and a yellow triangle encased around a smaller black triangle, which encases a green pyramid on his chest.[/indent]
[indent]While in the Gargoyle form, Conrad is just over seven feet tall. His whole body is covered in yellowish-brown scales. The Gargoyle is slightly hunched over, a pair of large wings jutting out of its spine. The wingspan on it is just under ten feet. The Gargoyle has strong, thick hands and feet, perfectly suited for grabbing things or remaining standing. Behind the gargoyle is an almost five foot tail that has several spikes along the end of it.[/indent]
[indent]The Hunter form is much different. Standing at a little bit under six feet, the Hunter is covered is a grassy green colored skin. Its large blue eyes are ever vigilant, as are his long and narrow pointed ears. His head is covered is a small smattering of walnut covered hair. The Hunter can also produce sharp quills that are snow white in color. The Hunter’s body is lean, with long legs meant for running and jumping.[/indent]
[indent]Finally, the Shape is hard to describe. In it’s neutral state, the Shape is a purple colored humanoid, but is lacking any features. No eyes, nose, mouth, ears or any identifying marks. This neutral state can be twisted, extended, or changed completely. When no conscious thought is being put into the Shape, it becomes an inert puddle on the ground.[/indent]

[h3][color=#2F8C24]History[/color][/h3]
[indent][hider=Brief Bio]
[indent]Born in Chicago in the mid nineteen-twenties, Conrad would dream of becoming a medical doctor. This dream would be put on hold when World War II broke out. Seeing footage of the attack on Pearl Harbor, Conrad was inspired to join the army, which he did on his eighteenth birthday. He would be trained and shipped to Europe, participating in D-Day.[/indent]
[indent]The horrors of war quickly eroded Conrad’s optimism. By a few months in, he went drastically against his morals by looting some items from a French castle. One of these items was a talisman that attached itself to Conrad’s hand. The next time his unit fought, the talisman would activate, turning Conrad into a monster. Upon learning about Conrad’s new power, he would be transferred to a squad of other soldiers with superpowers.[/indent]
[indent]Conrad would be enticed into working with the squad by hearsay that it could lead to the soldiers joining the Justice Society. Once fully trained, Conrad would be sent to take out strange Nazi operations. This included a prototype time machine. While trying to capture it, a Nazi scientist would attempt to flee with it. Conrad would jump into the machine to stop him, just as it disappeared.[/indent]
[indent]Only to reappear in a Checkmate facility in twenty twenty-two. The machine no longer worked, meaning that the two men were trapped in the future. Checkmate would interrogate both men, until Conrad proved that he was who he said he was. With little options for a man out of time, Conrad would be recommended several superhero teams that could possibly help him.[/indent]

[indent][hider=Longer Bio meant mostly for myself]
[indent]Born into the ethnic part of Chicago, Conrad was the son of a mixed Haitian-Jamaican family. Raised to respect the law, Conrad did his best to stay out of trouble. The child would become a young man against a backdrop of crime and racial tension in his city. Conrad attempted to avoid these issues however, with dreams of becoming a medical doctor.[/indent]
[indent]But almost everyone’s dreams were put on hold as the war broke out in Europe. While Conrad’s parents told him not to worry as it was far away, he could not be not concerned. After all he had extended family in England and France. Conrad would continue to do his best in his studies, still aiming for that doctorate. But then Pearl Harbor was attacked.[/indent]
[indent]The almost sixteen year old Conrad decided at that moment that he was going to fight to defend America. So while he appeared to focus on his studies, he was actually counting down to his eighteenth birthday. And just as Conrad was in his final year of high school, he enlisted in the army on his birthday.[/indent]
[indent]Conrad would quickly go through basic training before being shipped off to England. Conrad would be a part of the America forces participating in Operation: OVERLORD, better known as D-Day. While Conrad would survive the hellish battle, he would lose almost everyone he knew in his unit.[/indent]
[indent]From there he would slowly make his way through rural France, continuing to lose fellow soldiers. This slog would begin to diminish Conrad’s enthusiasm and optimism about the war. This came to a head when his unit took shelter one night in an abandoned castle. While exploring the historic building, Conrad would come across a box filled with valuables, including an odd looking talisman.[/indent]
[indent]Going against his morals, Conrad would loot the items. But while sleeping in the castle that night, the talisman would begin to move on its own, before clamping down on Conrad’s left hand. This instantly woke Conrad, who tried everything to get it off, but to no avail.[/indent]
[indent]Conrad would hide the talisman with bandages, telling his superiors that he had cut himself on something in the castle. Conrad’s unit continued to head east toward Germany, only to be ambushed by Nazi forces. During the firefight, Conrad’s talisman activated and he transformed in a winged monster. In this monster form, Conrad defeated the German soldiers.[/indent]
[indent]Upon reverting to his human form, Conrad was put under watch by his officer. News of Conrad’s transformation would reach army command, who had him brought to the newly liberated city of Paris.[/indent]
[indent]Conrad would then be placed under review, the army wondering what to do with him. However an army scientist studying superpowers would come to learn of Conrad. Seeing potential in him, the scientist would transfer Conrad to a squad of other soldiers with superpowers.[/indent]
[indent]Conrad would do some training on using his powers, discovering two more forms he could become. There were even rumors in the squad that if they survived the war, they would get a spot on the Justice Society, America’s greatest hero team. Once sufficiently trained, Conrad and his squad would be sent to Germany to fight the Nazi secret science division.[/indent]
[indent]After his first successful mission of liberating a Nazi indoctrination camp for super-powered children, Conrad requested a costume to make him seem like more of a superhero. On a high from his first successful mission, the second one Conrad went on would be his last.[/indent]
[indent]Conrad would be dispatched to northern Germany where they said the Nazis were working on a time machine. The super-powered squad would be sent in to capture the device. But in the chaos of the ensuing battle, a Nazi scientist boarded the incomplete machine in an attempt to change the past. Not wanting the machine to escape, Conrad jumped into the machine as well. A fight ensued resulting in the machine accidentally disappearing.[/indent]
[indent]The machine would fall through time for a while, until the scientist could regain control. The machine became physical once more, the machine’s screen stating that it was the year twenty twenty-two. Conrad managed to force the scientist out of the time machine, only to be greeted by  a squad of armed guards.[/indent]
[indent]Conrad was then detained while these people verified his story. Eventually they would reveal themselves as Checkmate, a global peacekeeping organization. They had taken control of many former Nazi sites to prevent their misuse. They also revealed that the machine he had arrived in no longer worked. Conrad was trapped in the future.[/indent]
[indent]Feeling bad for him, a Checkmate agent would give Conrad a list of possible superhero teams he could contact for help.[/indent]

[h3][color=#2F8C24]Notes[/color][/h3]
[indent]Conrad went to Midway City because he heard that there was a museum of the Justice Society based there. Hoping to find out more about World War II and what happened to his allies, Conrad would be disappointed to find no mention of his squad ever existing. And the heroes of the Justice Society who he looked up to were now dead or retired. Conrad left the museum, thinking about possibly heading back to his hometown of Chicago. But something serendipitous happened, when outside the museum Conrad spotted the police chasing a fleeing vehicle. Deciding that he could still be a hero, Conrad transformed into the Gargoyle form and grabbed the criminal’s. At the same time Cyborg and several of his students were also chasing the fleeing vehicle. Once stopping the thieves, Cyborg and Conrad would talk, Conrad explaining his current situation. Cyborg would then decide to help him, offering Conrad a spot at the Titans Academy.[/indent]

[h3][color=#2F8C24]Miscellaneous[/color][/h3]
[indent]Face Claim is Jacob Latimore. Dialogue color code is #2F8C24. The codename Legion comes from both their being multiple beings stored within, but also that Conrad was part of the American army, a modern day version of a Legion. Future plans for Conrad include revealing that the talisman is in fact an alien device storing the DNA of extinct alien species. Also maybe gain the ability to load the DNA of more aliens into the talisman. Conrad’s favorite superhero is Amazing Man of the Justice Society, so much so that he copied his color scheme for his costume. [/indent]

[h3][color=#2F8C24]SAMPLE POST[/color][/h3]
[indent]Conrad attempted to calm himself as he sat in the metal chair. While his hands weren’t bound, he definitely felt like a prisoner. Besides the chair he sat on, the only things were a table and duplicate chair. Beyond that was a mirror, probably a two-way mirror thought Conrad. They could see him, study him, but he was left in this room without any answers.[/indent]
[indent]Conrad looked down at was he was wearing. The costume he used in the guise of Legion had seen better days. There were tears and holes in it from that battle against the Nazi garrison at the laboratory. For Conrad it was two days ago, but the Nazi scientist had claimed that they had been taken to the year 2022. Conrad realized that would mean that he was nearly a hundred years old.[/indent]
[indent]That thought was pushed away when the door to the observing room opened. In stepped a man dressed in black and blue armor. Conrad noted the decal of a black knight piece from  Chess on him. Most of the people he had seen since arriving in this facility in the Nazi time machine had been wearing that icon.[/indent]
[indent]This man was completely bald, without facial hair or even eyebrows. He placed what looked like a metal book on the table, before sitting down across from Conrad.[/indent]
[indent]“Mr. Laguerre,” he began, “You’ve been gone a long time.”[/indent]
[indent]Conrad was thrown off by the use of his actual last name and not his codename. He had been guaranteed by the government that he would only appear in files under the name Legion, his private life far removed from tales of incredible powers.[/indent]
[indent][color=#2F8C24]“If that man was to believed, it was seventy-seven years. Did we at least win the war?”[/color] Conrad asked.[/indent]
[indent]“Yes, the Axis surrendered less than a year after you disappeared,” the man explained.[/indent]
[indent][color=#2F8C24]“So what, did my squad join the Justice Society and continue the good fight?”[/color][/indent]
[indent]“No your squad was disbanded after the war, most members going into government positions. As for you, it might be difficult to understand, but there’s no record of the army operative member named Legion after going missing on a mission in October 1944. You didn’t go into hiding, we would of found a trace of you. You simply ceased to exist.”[/indent]
[indent][color=#2F8C24]“What do you mean that I ceased to exist? I’m sitting right in front of you.”[/color][/indent]
[indent]“As best we could tell, you went from 1944 straight to 2022. You never go back.”[/indent]
[indent]Conrad took a minute to let it sink in. He never goes back to 1945, never sees his family and friends again. By now most of them were probably dead. Conrad had barely learned to be a man back in his day, and now had to figure out this strange future.[/indent]
[indent]“Look, we’ve confirmed that you really are Conrad Laguerre and that your not a threat,” stated the man, “You will be allowed to leave.”[/indent]
[indent][color=#2F8C24]“And go where?”[/color] Conrad asked, “I have nothing here.”[/indent]
[indent]The man then slid the metal book over to Conrad. On it was a list of contact information for several groups. Conrad’s eyes were drawn to the Justice League, perhaps some sort of successor to the Justice Society.[/indent]
[indent]“This is public info on some superhero groups currently operating. They might be able to help you,” stated the man.[/indent]
[indent][color=#2F8C24]“I guess the Justice Society isn’t around?”[/color] Conrad wondered out loud.[/indent]
[indent]“That is a possibility. They formally disbanded in the 1950s, but they seem to come back together every few years. I found that they just opened a museum for the Justice Society. Maybe you’ll find some answers there.”[/indent]
[indent]Conrad thought back to the superheroes of the war. Were his favorites like Amazing Man even still around? There wasn’t a good chance in his mind that they were after all these decades.[/indent]
[indent]“We can fly you stateside and give you a bus ticket to Midway City where the museum is, if that is what you want?” offered the man.[/indent]
[indent]Conrad immediately nodded. Hopefully if he went there, someone would know him. Someone would tell him he wasn’t forgotten after all these years. It was a long shot, but it was one of the few things that Conrad could latch onto.[/indent]
