[COLOR=DARKGRAY][indent]With Hawkman, I set out to devise a pulp-style story in the vein of Raiders of the Lost Ark. I've set about narrowing down the convoluted history and backstory of the Hawks and devised a pathway forward using their reincarnation cycle but not to the extreme end that the DC did with the 2018 run. There isn't countless variations of Hawkman across time and the multiverse. Instead there is one clear lineage starting with a warrior from Thanagar and ending at the present archaeologist. 

Re-reading a lot of the more modern Hawkman comics (1989 onwards), I've come to realize just how often the Hawks dealt with not only the supernatural and grotesque, but also the consequences of their own actions, typically through their past lives. In addition to their primary antagonist, Hath-Set, the Hawks fight a lot of foes who through one circumstance or another have come back to haunt them from a previous existence. I think there's a lot of potential story telling in these threads and would love to explore the themes of poetic justice, consequence and sort of a 'sins of the father'. 

Supporting this adventure is a relatively new character in the form of Yara Flor who will be acting as Carter's grad student. Additionally, he will be joining forces with a rival archaeologist using an adapted version of Elsa Bloodstone. The initial plot will take our heroes deep in South America in search of the legendary city of El Dorado but along the way uncover a much more sinister plot to plunge the world in an eternal night. 

The Hawks through their reincarnation cycle have a long lineage of heroes and in addition to the above, I'm also hoping to explore their relation to Hector Hall (ideally as Dr. Fate) and the heroes Hawk and Dove.

[COLOR=DARKGRAY][INDENT]My long term goals with Hawkman are to introduce both Hawkgirl and Yara Flor as her wondrous alter-ego. Given the pulp inspiration, I'm ideally going to have shorter, more action packed stories with romance and drama sprinkled in. Romance being a key element of the Hawks, I'd love to build to getting Carter and Shayera reunited, but tragedy often follows them, so there's no way of knowing which way this will unfold. 

Looking at the greater scope of the RP, I'd love to develop relations with all generations of heroes. With Carter and Shayera having lived multiple lives, I envision the possibility that they were part of the Justice Society or an equivalent 1940s era team.

[COLOR=DARKGRAY][indent]Blüdhaven.

A wretched hive of scum and villainy. 

A cesspool built from Gotham's runoff, anything that doesn't put roots down in Gotham gets flushed into the city-like sewer known as Blüdhaven. A port town, Blüdhaven got its start as a whaling town before becoming an industrial port. The sky is layered in a thick cloud of smog, while streets are constantly filled with fog due to the miles of antique boiler pipe laid beneath cobblestone streets hastily repaired with asphalt and concrete.

But for a brief moment, the city had hope in the form of its very own Bright Knight.

Richard 'Dick' Grayson, the former protegé and Robin of Gotham's Batman, outgrew the shadow of his mentor's cape and, after a soul-finding journey, adopted a symbol of rebirth he learned from a distant Romani relative. From the ashes of Robin rose Nightwing, who took to the streets of Blüdhaven, using the best tricks learned from the Bat to inject fear into the superstitious and cowardly lot that preyed on the vulnerable.

But years of war against the crimelord known as Blockbuster took their toll, eventually driving Dick Grayson to his breaking point, and in a final confrontation, Dick was left maimed and traumatized while Blockbuster was killed.

A former vigilante turned recluse, Dick Grayson has reluctantly enjoyed a simpler life, managing a gymnastics facility and becoming a superintendent over a small apartment complex. However, a new Nightwing has appeared in Blüdhaven, and with it, a trail of bodies, brutally killed by blunt force trauma.

Unable to allow his legacy to be tarnished and fear turned against the people of Blüdhaven, Dick is forced out of his mandated retirement.

The Bright Knight Returns.

[COLOR=DARKGRAY][INDENT]As most of you already know, Dick Grayson is my favourite character in all of comics, and Batman Beyond was a show I basically grew up on. The idea of combining the two is highly appealing revisiting some of my favourite posts I've written over the years with Terry in the tights and a reluctant Dick playing the role of the guy in the chair. Will Dick recover from his injury? I doubt it, but a story of mistaken identity and legacy is certainly looking like a lot of fun to write while also integrating both Dick and Terry into a larger world that contains allies and foes alike from their respective histories.

What you as a reader can expect are episodic posts exploring Terry growing into his new role as the protector of Blüdhaven while Dick is forced to rapidly mature as a mentor and perpetual big brother, founding his own 'Wing-family' with the help of everyone's favourite black sheep, Helena Bertinelli.[/INDENT][/COLOR][/cell][/row][/table][sub]__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________[/sub][right][color=silver][sup][i]"You ask, [i]nicely[/i]."[color=2e2c2c]___[/color][/i][/sup][/color][/right][/COLOR][/INDENT]
