@Double Gotham is in New Jersey, and metropolis is in driving distance, so they're both east coast.

@TheUnknowable I don't think so, his scan technology only distinguishes between natural-born beings and alien organisms, not the exact race. It's basically just the pilot searching for similarities in the biology and genotype of a select few species, those that share similarities are natural to the planet, those that don't, aren't.

DC Universe REBIRTH [original DC inspired roleplay/universe]

The ship tore through the emptiness of space, at a speed unimaginable to human minds. The sound of the powerful engines was strong enough to be well heard in the cargo bay, but in the cockpit, where Zod sat, it was near silent. The room was not bustling with activity, perhaps as a result of having only four individuals in it. The blue lights sent dark blue tint over the rest of the room, turning the nigh-white greys into deep blues. His pilot sat at the cockpit, playing with the buttons and levers with a great many clicks. Meanwhile, in the other corner of the room, two of Zod's guards had set up a table, and were comparing their weaponry. Beside him sat their head, Non, one of Rann's best, he wore the metallic mask of Zod's bodyguard corps, looking off into the distance with a red glint in the mask's one eye.

"My liege, we are approaching planetoid Sol 9, Sol 3 should be within sights shortly," the ship's pilot chimed in. Zod smiled at the revelation.

"Good, are there any Kryptonian signals?"

"Just one, my liege, on the southernmost landmass. Though... I'm scanning the planet currently, there seems to be a large amount of non-native organisms, I am unable to detect a Kryptonian in specific," he stated with a worried tone. Zod cringed, this wasn't good, he was hoping he would be able to find the Kryptonian immediately.

"Are there any transmitting satellites we can connect ourselves to? Perhaps these people have an organized media," Zod stated quickly. Immediately the pilot began playing with the dashboard, pulling a set of headphones from the table in front of him to his ear.

"I'm hearing... Starro? What in the king's name is a Starro? Ah, here we go, 'Superman', from what is heard, he seems to be a one-man protector of multiple cities, only a Kryptonian could perform such a feat." Zod beamed at these words, a perfect successor if it was all true.

"Perfect, is there any news as to his position?"

"No I'm afraid, he seems to have gone missing." Zod's smile shrank. Oh well, he supposed, a minor setback, even a weakened Kryptonian could easily find another under a yellow sun.

"Set us down at his last known position."

"Confirmed, my liege."

"Oh, finally, I was getting bored," The female Rannite stated from the back, one of his other guards, and perhaps the most... vocal.

"Am I being platitudinous? It is concrete that my weaponry, as worn by an expert of contiguous combat such as myself is simply superior to your own," the other guard stated in his usual mixture of mocking and showing of superiority. Zod had to purchase a thesaurus just to keep up with his 'Perfectly cromulant' language.

As the ship approached Metropolis, the thrusters at the bottom of the ship rumbled to life, sending paper and garbage flying into the air as it touched the ground. The pod bay opened, providing a ramp for Zod and his bodyguards to walk down, smoke pouring out of the interior and hiding them from the waist down. They struck ground soon after. Zod examined the city he had found himself in, disgusted by the backwardness of it all. However, the people were nigh-identical to Rannites or Kryptonians. Perhaps it was fate that Zod had found himself on this planet, whatever the case, he had to find himself his heir, it would be easy to a Kryptonian such as himself.

Liam

"I have men on one arm and women on the other, call it unnatural, but I'm just enjoying all humanity has to offer."

---

♚ Name:

Liam Brighton

---

♚ Group:

Royals

♚Position:

Head

---

♚Codename:

The Black King

♚Age:

29

---

♚Appearence:

Liam is slender and graceful. His every move seems almost as if it were thought of beforehand as a result of his high co-ordination, trained through time spent on his interests. Liam possesses a pointed nose and a small chin. His eyes are blue, a very light sky-blue, almost looking grey. Liam's skin is incredibly soft, especially considering the usual wear and tear from his hobbies. Liam, naturally brown haired, dyes his hair a light blonde to match with the ghost-like paleness of his skin, giving him a hauntingly bright look that only serves to highlight his graceful movements and attractiveness. Despite nearing his thirties, Liam still appears as if he was in his early twenties. Liam achieves this through heavy washing and light make-up. Liam almost always wears suits, often of gaudy colors and obsolete styles. Despite this, Liam manages to look good in almost anything he wears. He often smells of lilac.

---

♚Personality:

Among his colleagues, Liam is known for one thing: being stubborn, this stubbornness is what led him to leave the Belladonna, and it is also what lead him to leadership, as his unyielding pursuit of power appealed to many of the Royals' younger members, and of course the fact that he is highly thought to have killed the last leader. Liam is ruthless, cruel, and determined, meaning that if something doesn't go his way, he will ensure it does through any means necessary. He is also heavily paranoid, and as such is wary of all of the other assassin groups; it is as a result of this that the Royals are among the least understanding about intrusions into their domain. Liam has a special dislike of the Black Cats and Avia, the former due to a personal vendetta, and the latter mostly due to a perceived hypocrisy in their methods.

---

♚Background:

Liam was born in the park district, or at least he thinks so. Liam was already in a group home by the age of four years old, growing up amongst the other orphaned children and spending his time by sitting around and playing with toys. He was adopted on his seventh birthday by a wealthy business tycoon who provided him with a stable home life and a happy childhood, spent playing baseball or reading novels. His father later met a bartender who he married after dating for three weeks. This woman was heavily abusive to Liam, both physically and verbally. Despite his connection with his father, Liam was unable to bring himself to speak out due to fear.

One day when Liam was thirteen, his foster parents went to the business sector of the city, where his father worked, on what was supposed to be a usual trip.

They never returned.

Once again orphaned, Liam quickly turned to crime to support himself. It was during this time that he discovered the existence of the Belladonna. Liam attempted to join, and was successful, taking the code-name Magnolia. Serving as a Belladonna assassin for two years. His second year was not his best. During a normal assassination, Liam was caught and "Magnolia" became a wanted man. When the Belladonna refused to aid him, Liam angrily stole as much as he could and fled the district. With what he could scrounge, he managed to raise enough money to lose the heat, but now he was alone, back to square one, penniless and homeless.

The Royals, however, were more than willing to receive a former Belladonna assassin, and Liam joined their ranks without a second thought. Despite the distrust of his elders, Liam established himself as a highly competent assassin, earning a large amount of money due to the high charge of Royal contracts. Eventually, the white king died, and at this point, Liam was known as the black queen, and thus the first choice to succeed to leadership.

---

♚Leisure activities:

Liam is a prolific fencer and is the owner of the "Match City Boutique", formerly a Royals front which Liam has turned into a legitimate business.

---

♚Extra:

-Liam's Royals are focused on holding their territory and conquering the others.
-Liam still does hits personally, and his favorite method is either a silenced pistol headshot, or a slash to the carotid artery with a knife.

A City on Fire

I don't think I could take a secondary, but if someone does it would be good if we got another male, it's looking like a tuna-fest in here.

A City on Fire

@FantasyChic I doubt it, but of course, I'm not the GM.

Zod's looking for Supes, so he's probably starting off in Metropolis.
