Character Origin & Backstory: The son of Stark Industries CEO Howard Stark, and his wife Michelle. Tony grew up surrounded in the lap of luxury, but also by making sure he kept his head in the ground. Tony never saw a dime of the family fortune until he was around 9. When on his birthday he finally started to see the wealth come his way. Especially when it came to the fact Tony would usually end up getting to use and have most of Stark Industries’ newest tech items.
Tony growing up was a proud young man, and he wasn’t afraid to show it. He was always able to somehow get the center of attention, even when he wasn’t even trying. Made all the worst that his genius intellect made it easier for him to have plenty to boast about. Even still, with all the bragging and big talk, Tony clearly had the gentleness and compassion his father hoped he would. By the time Tony Stark reached high school he was already being prepared by his father to inherit Stark Industries. However, when Tony, along with his mother and father, all traveled out to Japan to complete a business merger. The plane suffered sudden damage and crash landed at Tokyo’s airport. Michelle Stark killed from shrapnel, and Tony very badly injured, having a piece of metal lodged deep into his chest. Already hysterical from the lost of his wife Howard Stark took matters into his own hand. Taking Tony to the nearest hospital, and having a special emergency surgery done. As Howard had with him a special compact energy core, knowing it might be the only surefire solution to save Tony. He spent almost nine hours in surgery putting the core into Tony, and having it operate to keep the shrapnel inside of Tony from puncturing his heart.
Still, the damage had been done. Heartbroken over the loss of his wife Howard fell into a deep hole of depression. Resorting to drinking and becoming unfit to run Stark Industries, the higher ups of the company came together and were shocked to realize that Howard had put in provisions not long ago. Which gave Tony Stark full CEO control over the company. Many scoffed the idea, some even took Tony to court over it. However none of it mattered as Tony was now in charge of the business.
Howard Stark died from alcohol poisoning shortly after the news broke. But Tony could remember the last time he saw his father. Drunk, be-shoveled, and in tears, however it was what his father told him that stuck. When Tony tried to pleaded with his father to change the ruling around so he wouldn’t be CEO anymore. His father looked at him, and even in his drunken stupor told him that it was no accident. Tony Stark was ready to be a CEO, no matter the age, or what anyone said. He believed in his heart Tony was ready.
Tony grieved for the lost of his father, but quickly turned face knowing he had business to do. As all this happened Stark Industries’ stock prices plummeted, and became a joke with its new young CEO. Tony Stark quickly called a press conference, both to serve as a eulogy for his mother and father, but as a clear as day statement that he would take the responsibility seriously, and that he wouldn’t let anyone or anything soil his family’s name. That impassioned speech, along with Tony quickly having the company put out amazing new prototypes. Helped accelerate Stark Industries back from embarrassment in people’s eyes.
Tony Stark now a days leads an interesting life, one half of the day taking care of his high schooling, which has seen his grades drop a bit since everything happened. While the rest of the time handled as much as he could of the company, otherwise he would have his father’s right hand man, James Rhodes, handle the workload. However recently, Tony Stark has started looking into the core his father put into him. Realizing its energy potential, but most of all. What kind of a system he could make with it.
Powers and Abilities (What can you're character do? What can't they do?): By himself, Tony can’t do a whole heck of a lot besides be snarky and lovable, though very intelligent. However the biggest power Tony possesses lays in his Mark III armored suit.
With as much tender loving care Tony could put into it, along with repulser rays in the boots and hands, allowing for both flight and combat capabilities, uni-beam projector in its chest (controlling the full range of the electromagnetic spectrum from blinding searchlights to cutting lasers), pulse bolts that pick up kinetic energy along the way, so that they hit harder the further they have to travel, an electromagnetic pulse generator and energy shield, the generation of ultra-freons, the creating and manipulating of magnetic fields, sonic blasts, and a holographic generator to create decoys. Plus guided missiles Tony had to work his ass off to get for the project.
On top of the energy core in his chest, the suit is powers through solar rays cleverly hidden in the back. The suit gives him a superhuman strength, and the ability to withstand impact of both kinetic or explosive kind. On top of all this Tony has the helmet tuned to his personal assistant AI Jarvis (Named after a family butler who passed away when Tony was 10), and also functions as a top of the line computer. Storing data that is all voice and mind activated. Plus it has an MP3 player, 1tb worth, because sometimes he just needs some tunes when kicking ass.
Sample Post (This is used as an introduction to your writing – try to keep it to around three paragraphs or more and try to include dialogue):
“Look Rhodes, just tell them that if the new smartphone designs aren’t ready by CES then that means we will be at a disadvantage, and we being at a disadvantage is a bad thing. I get that this is all coming up a little sudden on them, but… if they can finish the prototypes by CES tell them they’ll each get a 1,000 dollar bonus in their next paycheck. From my account too, none of that from the company funding. Cool, look I’m going to the mansion for a bit, you got everything at HQ? Good good, I’ll be over tomorrow and we can figure out what I’m going to say at the presentation, how we’ll present the mark suit, and which luxury suite we’re staying in. I’m still going on that one at the Palms that place was sweet. Hey, hey, don’t make me come over there and give you the pouty eyes about this. You don’t want the pouty eyes. Alright fine we can talk about this tomorrow. Chao.”
Tony Stark sighed as he finally ended the call, stomping out of the high school as he shook his head and closed his eyes from behind expensive Oakley shades. Things at Starks Industries have been chaotic about the Consumer Electronics Expo in Vegas coming up in two weeks. They had a lot of things to present, but most of all Tony Stark was going to have the Mark III combat suit make its public debut. A lot was riding on that, Tony knew it deep down.
While the rest of the school’s students went to their cars or to the buses. Tony took another route, slipping over to the school’s football field. Glancing around for the coast to be clear before he slipped his shades off. Putting them into his pants pockets and adjusting the backpack slung over his shoulders before reaching over and pushing a secret activation switch on the bottom of the bag.
Quickly the backpack sprung to life, its mechanical limbs going down his arms and legs. Covering them in red and yellow painted metal. Finally coming around his chest and up to his head. Where the face cover slipped over. “All systems go.” The gentle english voice rang into Tony’s ear. “Excellent, GPS me to the mansion, and start the mp3 player, eh… lets go with The Prodigy to start.” Tony responded. As the thumping bass of ‘Breathe’ kicked in the helmet. Tony got the repulsor rays working to lift him up off of the grass field. Burning it in the process as Tony mentally realized his going to have to pay up for that tomorrow morning first thing. As Tony rose up into the air he got himself taking off to his mansion. Looking like a humanoid jet fighter zooming through the skies too quick for most below to process it. All the while Tony smiled from under the helmet. The world had no idea what was about to hit it.
