His time as the Martian Manhunter though has taught him how to push his powers to their limits. He prefers to use his telepathy but he also has telekinesis that he can use to fly, psychic empathy where he can sense and affect others' emotions, psychic healing where he can use telepathy to heal mental wounds and telekinesis to heal physical wounds, psychometry where he can sense heavily emotional psychic 'echoes' left on places and objects and see a vision of that event, and light manipulation mostly used to create illusions. He cannot though psychically control or manipulate fire. For one thing, he has a pathological fear of it. And for another, Martian psychic powers have a strange side effect where fire tends to worsen and go out of control if any of their psychic energy is used on it.[/color] [COLOR=darkgray][color=green][b]◼ Shapeshifting[/b][/color] Shapeshifting is another inherent Martian trait, but he's trained to quickly alter his body, be able to change into any sort of form he can imagine, and be able to stay in the altered form for long periods of time. His time on Earth has gotten him to the point where he only feels the need to regain his Martian form once a month.[/color] [COLOR=darkgray][color=green][b]◼ Phasing [/b][/color] Technically an aspect of both shapeshifting and psychic powers, only among the most powerful and skilled Martians are able to turn invisible and phase through people, buildings, and objects at will. And J'onn J'onzz is among those so skilled. It is an incredibly draining power though so he can only keep it up for 5 minutes at a time.[/color] [COLOR=darkgray][color=green][b]◼ Superstrength, Reflexes, & Durability[/b][/color] Among humans, his strength, reflexes, and durability may only be little better than Batman, Captain America, or other low-level superheroes. But that is in part due to the fact that much of his strength and durability is being used to to live continually in the higher gravity world of Earth. On Mars, he's their equivalent to Superman.[/color] [/hider] [color=#2e2c2c]-[/color] [hider=Tools] [sub][b][color=lightgray] T O O L (S)[/color][/b][/sub] ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ [COLOR=darkgray][color=green][b]◼ Standard Police Revolver & Other Resources[/b][/color] As a police detective, he has access to the standard police revolver.

He was about to finish his psychology degree, had a loving wife & two wonderful children, a boy and girl. Everything seemed perfect. That was when he suddenly found himself developing super strength and related powers. J'onn tried to hide it, but the Martian United World Government had it's eyes, ears, and minds everywhere. One of their agents approached him about how he could better serve their world by being part of an elite taskforce. J'onn though refused, wanting to help people through healing their minds, not through fighting. But the government refused to let such a useful asset go. They burned down his house, overwhelmed him when he sought to rescue his wife and children, made him watch his wife burn in the flames while he was helpless to stop her, and made him believe that his children were killed as well. Then they took him, broke all other resistance, made him psychologically afraid of fire, then molded him into their perfect weapon. To all official reports, J'onn J'onzz died with his family in that freak house fire. And the Martian Manhunter was born as he was sent to his first task in fighting the enemies of the state: the criminals (that didn't pay their bribes), the political dissenters, and the White Martian 'abominations'. For some years, the Martian Manhunter did his duty, serving the government that forged him and trying to stay numb to the grief and guilt, in part to make sure his grieving parents did not suffer the same fate as his wife. There seemed to be no escape, no way he could get out. Until an Earth scientist accidently managed to teleport Manhunter to Earth then died of a heart attack after seeing what he'd done. At first, Manhunter fearfully wondered how he could get back to Mars. But then he realized, there was no way his government could realize that he was here. They would have no reason to suspect that he was anywhere but on Mars. He could take this chance and just, disappear. He made sure to bury the scientist then took time to get use to Earthen life and find out more about the planet he'd found himself on. Then he forged himself credentials of US citizenship and decided on the name John Jones, close to his original name and so less likely for him to forget that that's what he was called. After that, he decided to become a police officer in the local city because a, he felt he owed the nation something for coming in on such false pretenses, b, being a police officer would make the best use of the skillset he now had, c, it wouldn't take too long to become a police officer, d, a police station might be a better place to keep an ear out for if the Martian government did try to find him on Earth, and e, being a psychologist would be too obvious a move if they did hunt him down (and he wasn't sure if he could pursue that office back even if he wanted to). And so he became Police Officer John Jones, well liked by his fellow non-corrupt officers and by those citizens he met regularly, and now has just risen to the office of Police Detective. And while the pressures of the job are challenging, he finds himself almost content again. But what will come next to snatch it all away from him?

For one thing, I wanted to explore more the fact that he comes from Mars and so is used to lighter gravity worlds. Hence why his strength and durability while great by Martian standards is less by Earth standards. He then on Earth has needed to adapt to using his psychic powers and cunning even more as most of his strength is used in seeking to not collapse under Earth gravity. In that way, he becomes more interesting fight wise than just a 'psychic Superman to use when we don't have Superman'. Then the other major idea was doing a different spin off the 'can't go home' part of his backstory. The golden age of course had there still be a functioning 'utopian' Martian society but the ability to travel between Earth and Mars hadn't yet been developed and so as far as he knew, he was trapped unless a miracle occurred or one of his own scientific projects worked. Then the more typical DC universe just has him be the last of his kind. So I decided to play with a scenario where Martians do still exist as a society but the government is an Soviet-esque authoritarian regime. And J'onn's powers were something they wanted to control for their own purposes. That then leads to J'onn taking the miraculous escape he was given and fully seeking to make a life for himself on Earth while staying out from under Martian radar as he does not want to be the weapon they turned him into. Plot wise, I see him as striving to keep a low-profile and let himself heal but then other supers, both hero and villain, become more and more active and he finds himself needing to confront himself in order to emerge and help as he needs to. And the more he comes out into the open, the more that will draw the unfriendly eyes he was trying to hide from. Of course, his initial foes are gangs, gang leaders, and various common criminals. Then he develops human villains, some from the gangs that are out for revenge, that want to take advantage of him for their own ends, most of them seeking to trap him into the sort of life he had escaped from on Mars, others seeking to use his telepathy for their own different ends like with Bette Noir. Then there are also Martian villains who seek to bring him back home or kill him once he's discovered. I could see Malefic as the lead Martian scientist that was behind the experiments, torture, and brainwashing J'onn went through and so being J'onn's greater arc villain for that aspect of his story with Cay'an as one of his one of his subordinates and D'Kay D'Razz as another of his experiments. Then there could be White Martians who retreated to Earth from Mars with some seeking revenge on J'onn once they realize that he's on Earth as well. Then of course, J'onn's son and daughter are left open. The daughter could be this universe's equivalent to M'gann/Miss Martian, for instance. But I am more flexible on exact villains. Just I could definitely see those roles for the Martians that come after J'onn and of his existing rouges gallery and connected characters, those seem like the best fits for the plot beats I'm thinking he'd be going through. Mostly though, I am imagining him as someone that can work with other heroes when they could use a police detective or just some extra help. I've placed him in New York because that seems the most central city where heroes could come across him and then he could also sometimes be shipped out temporarily to nearby cities like Gotham and Metropolis for certain cases. For instance, I could see him being sent on a Gotham arsonist case where Firefly's involved as his first meeting with Batman, which of course also puts J'onn directly in the line of fire for his biggest fear. I would be willing though to place him in another city if desired. Basically though, he's a guy that finds himself unable to not help others when he can and then through those connections gets the help and healing he needs against his own demons.[/INDENT][/COLOR][/cell][/row][/table][hr][center][sup][color=darkgray][i]All formatting originates via the work of[/i] [color=248ffd][i]Lord Wraith[/i][/color][/color][/sup][/center][/hider] [hider=Miss Martian] [CENTER][sup][h1][center][img]Banner[/img][/center][b][center][color=black] M I S S M A R T I A N[/color] [color=green] M I S S M A R T I A N[/color][/center] [/b][/h1][/sup] [color=green][sup][i]"This ends now!"[/i][/sup][/color][/CENTER][table][row][/row][row][cell] [center][sub][sup][sub][h3][b][color=black] C H A R A C T E R P O R T R A I T[/color] [color=green]C H A R A C T E R P O R T R A I T[/color] [/b][/h3][/sub][/sup][/sub][sup]_________________________________________________________[/sup] [img]https://img.roleplayerguild.com/prod/users/019a146b-7a33-725c-958c-7c724641ca35.webp[/img] [hider=Human Disguise] [center][sub][sup][sub][h3][b][color=black] H U M A N D I S G U I S E[/color] [color=green]H U M A N D I S G U I S E[/color][/b][/h3][/sub][/sup][/sub][/center][sup]_________________________________________________________[/sup] [img]https://img.roleplayerguild.com/prod/users/019a149b-6584-74fa-9484-ed2238cd07d0.webp[/img] [/hider] [sup]_________________________________________________________[/sup][sub][sup][sub][h3][b][color=black] C H A R A C T E R S U M M A R Y[/color] [color=green]C H A R A C T E R S U M M A R Y[/color][/b][/h3][/sub][/sup][/sub][sup]_________________________________________________________[/sup] [sub][COLOR=darkgray]M'gann J'onzz aka Megan Jones[/COLOR] [sup]_________________________________________________________[/sup] [COLOR=darkgray]16[/COLOR] [b]|[/b] [COLOR=darkgray]Single[/COLOR] [sup]_________________________________________________________[/sup] [COLOR=darkgray]Martian United World Government[/COLOR] [b]|[/b] [COLOR=darkgray]Martian[/COLOR][/sub][/center] [indent][sub][sup][sub][h3][b][color=black] N O T A B L E A B I L I T I E S & T O O L S[/color] [color=green]N O T A B L E A B I L I T I E S & T O O L S[/color][/b][/h3][/sub][/sup][/sub][/INDENT][sup]_________________________________________________________[/sup] [hider=Abilities][color=#2e2c2c]-[/color] [sub][b][color=green] A B I L I T I E S[/color][/b][/sub] ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ [COLOR=darkgray][color=green][b]◼ Psychic Powerset[/b][/color] As a Martian, of course M'gann has inherent psychic powers.

In school, she had her group of friends, got top marks, and was overall well-regarded by her peers and her teachers, but also had her rivals and her bullies. It was life though and she was looking forward to when she'd be in high school then off to higher education when she scored well on the exams. The house fire changed all that. Her memories of that time are the haziest. One moment, she was setting up to perform a private play with her friends. The next, the house was ablaze and strangers in protective suits were charging in before she could even scream. The next moment, she was in a dark room, deep underground, where she wasn't able to sense what went outside that room. She was told that her family was dead, from her father to her little brother. White Martians had been behind the fire, a mindless act of violence meant to be the spark to cause the fall of the Martian United Government so that the world would plunge into anarchic chaos. But she had the power to help, if she'd allow them to train her. And in her grief and anguish, she agreed. The training was grueling and she often chaffed under the isolation, but she persevered on, tackling the matter with as much determination as a geometry problem. And when things got too tough, her uncle Malefic would come down and give her a consoling ear to rant to and a shoulder to cry on. It surprised her to find that he was such a major scientist and managed to be allowed to see her, but she was glad of it. It gave her at least one familiar face during that dark time. She expected that she'd have to stay training until she became an adult. But instead, much to her surprise, it was soon after her sixteenth birthday when she was called upon to take up her uniform and to become the Martian Maiden. She's taken to the role eagerly, seeking to get revenge for her family and to protect her nation. Not knowing that soon, cracks will form in the world as she knows it.

In one sense then, this just completes that premise and also explores the Martian United Government's evil from a point of view that hasn't come to understand why it's wrong yet. It'll make sense then when she's more 'end justifies the means' in her actions and all the ways she's similar to but also contrasts Martian Manhunter. Yet I do also want her to be her own person who will have her own story and her own adventures. For right now, she's on Mars as the Martian United Government's mascot and superhero. If/when she comes to Eartha and ends up reunited with her father, their relationship will at first be estranged and J'onn will be trying to connect with, support, and also correct the daughter that he thought was dead and ended up living a life he never wanted her to live. M'gann meanwhile will be dealing with all the revelations she'll be having while also being a teen girl trying to figure out who she wants to be, seeking her own path between her father's wishes and the world she's known. I also want her to take part in the Teen Titans if that comes off the ground.

He comes up with a lot of elaborate schemes and devices yet also can't seem to not hesitate anytime he might need to kill someone face to face. Of course, usually my idea would be to put him in as a Robin between Dick and Jason, one that Dick actually willingly passed on the Robin mantle to only for Rob to decide to run away and volunteer to fight as a fighter pilot in WW2 after butting heads with Bruce about the issue. Of course, this roleplay isn't happening even that particular timeframe and doesn't even have Dick yet. But I could still explore some aspects of what I have in mind, such as the pre-Robin to Robin era of him. I'd imagine that I'd start with him getting into Gotham, getting use to life with his uncle while Scarecrow slowly becomes Scarecrow, and maybe gathering teen iterations of his crew among the other kids around him. (Don't worry. Only one, Newkirk, and his sister Mavis would be at all susceptible for adoption). Then Scarecrow would come into his own and reveal his true colors to Robert, Robert would try to go against him, end up with a fear toxin specially tailored for him as Crane doesn't want to lose his cash cow, then gets rescued by Batman and ends up adopted. Which would then be where he transitions into becoming Robin. Whoever ends up playing Batman, I would be willing to work with for the exact details. Main thing I plan is for Robert to be one Batfam member that actually likes galas and socializing.[/INDENT][/COLOR][/cell][/row][/table][hr][/COLOR][/INDENT][/hider][hr][center][sup][color=darkgray][i]All formatting originates via the work of[/i] [color=248ffd][i]Lord Wraith[/i][/color][/color][/sup][/center]
