"You might think using a bow is impractical, but usually all it takes is the right arrow..."

T H E S T O R Y S O F A R... Roy was born to a pair of forest rangers near the Spokane Indian Reservation in Washington state. The two would perish in a fire while evacuating the reservation, with the young Roy being taken in by Brave Bow, an elder of the tribe. Raised as one of their own, Roy's life within the tribe was peaceful, with him being taught from a young age how to use a bow. One day when Roy was 12, he snuck out of the reservation in order to go steal some alcohol. He got drunk and blacked out, waking up hours later with a hangover. Returning home, he found Brave Bow dead with no clue as to who did it. Worried for his own safety, as well as the possibility the rest of the tribe would think it was him, Roy left the reservation behind and made his way to Seattle. After a year spent living on the streets and stealing to survive, Roy's life changed for the better when he stole a wallet off of one Oliver Queen. This stolen wallet led to Oliver taking Roy in as his foster son and Roy becoming Speedy, Green Arrow's sidekick. The two fought side by side together and strengthened their bond as mentor and protege. However, this bond was put to the test when Roy was 18 and Oliver found out that he had been drinking almost everyday on top of abusing painkillers. Oliver kicked Roy out, and the young man found himself on the streets again. Though Oliver would eventually come back to try and take Roy in again, he refused, deciding to forge his own path. Kicking the habits he had acquired was hard, but he knew he could do it, and he knew he could live on his own without Oliver being in the picture. That was how the young man became Arsenal. A year after his falling out with Oliver, he's looking to join this new team of supeheroes to prove to himself that he can be a part of something greater. P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) I'm interested in playing Roy because I've found him to be an interesting character, and his addictions provide great character drama - something to challenge him that isn't just the latest supervillain. I decided not to delve into his affair with Cheshire and the resulting daughter Lian (at least not in his backstory) because I'd like to focus on a younger Roy who's still learning the ropes. As far as storylines go, I don't have any concrete arcs in mind, more just ongoing subplots. I'd like to see Roy still adapting to sober living, occasionally relapsing even. Running into Green Arrow would be fun and would allow Roy to show Oliver how far he's come, probably in a "in your face old man!" kinda way. The aforementioned Cheshire could be a plot as well, set up Roy's fatherhood and all that. Other than that, I'm just here to have fun and interact with other players. |
