[OOC] Friendly Neighborhood Heroes

[Kuro]

I'll being working on a post in a few minutes. I got side tracked by watching videos about Lego Island 2 and Lego Loco which led to a moment of nostalgia.

[Fury Panda]

Name: Zoey Martinez

Alias: Zero

Gender: Female

Age: 19

Looks:

Zero

Occupation: Currently working at a Joann’s Fabric Store in the Long Beach Commercial Center.

Personality: Zoey is quiet, but has been more open in the past weeks as Zero. Zoey is often unseen and rarely heard. Zoey spends a lot of her time thinking about things, and what she can do to change things. Her hero life has quickly become her “personality”, and it allows her to have confidence.

Backstory: Zoey played Lacrosse in high school, but even on her team she was fairly unknown. As a keeper there was a long tradition of of numbering them as Zero. She had memories of those days, when her father would come to watch her games. He barely knew English, but she could hear him chant “Zero is the Hero!” from the crowd. At the time she was so embarrassed, but now she’d give anything to hear that again.

Her Lacrosse skills had got her a full ride scholarship at the State College. Her first year had gone fairly well, until she received news of her father’s death. She returned to Long Beach, to help support her family. Getting a job at Joann’s her family was able to skate by for the time being as her brother and sister grew.

Her father’s death continued to weigh on her, he had been working as a security guard for a local company near the docks, and had been shot during a burglary. The police continued to tell the family that there wasn’t any solid leads. She's fed up with the system, and only really enjoys spending time with her new friends at Long Beach Commercial Center.

Skills/Weapons: Zero uses a large stick/staff as her primary weapon. Outside of her athletic skills, she has average intelligence, but has been told that her writing is good for her age.

@Fury Panda Really awesome character! One thing, the group of friends hasn't become heroes just yet, but they will very soon. So she wouldn't be Zero just yet. You don't have to edit anything, I just wanted to make it clear. :3 You can move her to the character tab and reply IC when you're ready.

Just to add a couple "fun facts" for this thread:

1. Long Beach is a real city in California in LA county. I love going down there with family either to the beach or the shopping centers. It's actually a really good city, I just used it for the purpose of the thread so I could plan things in my head better. XD

2. The smoothie incident is 100% real, this happened to me four days ago, getaway car and everything. XD Only difference is two men came into the store and the third was in the getaway car. This did not happen in Long Beach. XD

@1Hawkeyes
We have a long beach in wa state. It's not so nice, lots of meth in a small dying beach town. :D

[1Hawkeyes]

@Fury Panda Oh no. XD I mean, don't get me wrong, the Cali one can be very bad (hence the gangs and mentions in many West Coast raps, especially Snoop Dogg), but it can also be great. I just didn't want the city to get a bad rap or anything because of this thread. XD

@Fury Panda omg thank you! I love that so much!

[Fury Panda]

[Kuro]

@Fury Panda Both of them look great!

In regards about the RP, I'll get a post sometime in the next few hours. Waiting for pizza to be cooked in the oven right now.

[1Hawkeyes]

@Slingshot Dude, you introduced the hero concept so well. I couldn't have done it better, I love your post so much.

[Slingshot]

Aww, thank you. You're going to make me blush.

[Kuro]

Fell asleep on the couch before I posted. I'll work on in the next few minutes.

[Fury Panda]

@Slingshot could you use a different color for your dialogue? I don't know if it's because I'm slightly color blind or something but I can barely make out the purple x.x

@Fury Panda

I'm not sure if it'll help you, but highlighting his text could probably allow you to see what Marcus is saying.

Also, I finally posted.

[Slingshot]

@Fury Panda Sure, I was wondering if was too difficult to see. I'll try a lighter shade of purple.

@Fury Panda Please let me know if you can read the red I'm using now, I'll change it if not. :3

[Fury Panda]

@1Hawkeyes Looks good! Same to @Slingshot. Much better on my silly eyes!
