Shouldn't Banner be the OG Hulk, though, considering he's the parent character? Would there not be a way to leave it open and still get your Ross stuff in as well? Just a thought.

▾ Honest ▾ Abrasive ▾ Inquisitive ▾ Condescending ▾

▾ Personality:

David Levitski is a man who believes that the world is unequivocally shit; that people are born inherently bad and that the people who try to look for the good in others are naïve children dancing around with a delusional imagination. It is because of that fundamental viewpoint that David’s views are entirely centered upon and anybody with an opposing view he naturally presumes is an idiot— a fact that has come up often in his long-tested career as a police detective to varying results and consequences. David is honest, albeit abrasive and crass, but honest— a fact that can seem a bit confrontational, antagonistic, and needlessly offensive. Sometimes he doesn’t know the difference between the hard truth and just being a jerk, but given his attitude he might actually know that he’s being judgmental and offensive; he just might not care.

David is also generally prone to excessive notions of violence, condescension, and wildly vitriolic sarcastic remarks. It is with this anger that it is shown that David is avid in his dedication, resilience, and tenacity— so much it goes to a level of ruthlessness. He is the guy who gets the job done with results even if the path to the finishing line is littered with broken windows and burnt down sheds; his diligence is admirable, his preference towards being brutal and ruthless are not. But for some reason David’s never been outed as corrupt or out of his bounds. IAA has investigated him several times in the past fifteen years with not even a suspension to David’s name for just that reason.

Whilst his aforementioned traits are generally despicable and unpleasing, there is a man underneath David that longs for peace and order. He values people who are hard workers and get to the point, and tends not to condescend actual children. Also, as far as those new to him know, he has a charming outer shell that appears to be a kind middle-aged man despite his inner chaos and “true self”. He may not value the world as it should be, but he will never succumb to deception of lies or betrayal of those he considers valuable as allies. He’s got some duality to him, for sure.

▾ Hobbies & Interests:

David has a few hobbies that he indulges in with his time off, but most of all of them that he is involved with is his locksmithing. The old cop collects old lockpicking sets and tends to enjoy cracking locks in his spare time; a strange hobby for a cop, for sure. He comments that it “keeps his hands busy” among other things. Elsewise, David is pretty simple— he likes books that tend to be crime pulp novels, older films, he plays acoustic guitar (and has since he was a kid), and occasionally coaches baseball to involve himself in the community beyond his role as a police detective.

▾ Other:

As a career cop David has collected various skills such as familiarity with handguns & revolvers, investigation talents for picking up on clues in people as well as the environment, occasional lock-picking, and breaking limbs with baseball bats. Wait, what? Truth be told, David was not a “by-the-book” detective in his early career years and in fact was kind of a “thug with a badge” detective in his past where he was known to use intimidation and physical assault in many situations to get what he wanted. If the situation needed this arsonist to have a three broken fingers to get some information then David would break four. Despite this sense of ruthlessness, David is good at his job as his skills make obvious. It is presumed that his old age and change of scenery has mellowed him some, but there's always something can make a man snap.

▾ Biography:

A man as long-lived as David Levitski could publish a novel of his escapades and life experiences alone. This of course is something David Levitski would rather not occur as he would rather not be judged by his new neighbors for what he achieved throughout his childhood and adulthood. Born to a Polish immigrant following the Second World War named Waclaw Levitski in 1963, David would be the eldest of several siblings raised in a lower income class household that had much conflict inside and out. His father was an abhorrent and abusive alcoholic who struggled from one job to the next—from general labor to distribution line factory work and so on thus when the next time his father lost a job nobody in the family was sure if they were going to leave the city they were used to or if another one in the area would repeat the process. It came to a point when David’s mother divorced his father and they moved to a more stable (relatively speaking) environment permanently around 1974.

David’s new environment was crime-ridden and tough on his mother, especially considering the stigma that still existed amongst divorced women trying to pick themselves up in the era. Perhaps it was here in his mother, Ashley Levitski, where David learned an admiration for hard work ethic since his father was so careless and arbitrary to the point where David didn’t care for him. In a chance encounter in the local park David found himself at odds when he attacked a boy over a name he called his mother to the point he told him that he would “erase his face” – he was interrupted before doing so by a police officer by the name of Thomas O’Reilly, who would be his first father figure.

The time passed in the inner city and under the guidance of the “old school” police officer David found himself joining the Police Department and aspiring to keep his burning temper under control within the confines of the law and if so necessary unleash it on those who deserved it—for not out of a sense of morality, but just desserts. David’s talents were soon discovered in these formative years as he found a knack for noticing things that other officers didn’t which eventually served him well when he was promoted to Detective fairly early on in his career, though due to politics and relationships with his superior’s daughter he found promotion climbing any further was quite unlikely. Still David found himself enjoying the work with every thumb he cracked or head he slammed into a table—as if he was exerting some weird power fantasy over his abusive childhood with his father. Nonetheless, time went on.

In time David found his younger brother, Richard, following in his footsteps—though in his time away from home his brother had taken to weird senses of optimistic morality and found himself clashing with his older brother during holiday gatherings in which they debated perspective. Admittedly, David was abrasive and patronizing towards his own sibling and likened his intelligence to inanimate objects in an attempt to give himself a reason to beat his brother down. However, Richard didn’t snap proving himself to be the better man. Still the siblings found themselves at odds with each other for many years up to through the childhood of Richard’s first son which he named after himself.

The time as a cop carried on and David continued to see people for how they really were—selfish, manipulative, deceitful, arrogant, pig-headed, out for themselves, and ultimately pretty terrible people. For every criminal he met he saw at least one aspect of his father in them which only made it all the easier to trait them with such vitriol. “Guilty until proven Innocent.” he figured about these people. As time toiled onwards things began to change such as his partner in the squad car, shifting from “old school” detectives like Andrew Tate to “new school” detectives like Joseph Atkins and Miranda Beake. The world kept proving itself to David however and he never strayed from how he believed. The years moved on. He moved to a new city— Dixie Inn.

David has been in Dixie Inn for twelve years, attempting what he did before, hoping to find a slower-paced smaller city to really sink his teeth into and relax. Despite having the tooth to continue it up north he wanted something different and Dixie Inn most certainly fit that definition.

It's an interesting start, though I do agree that the "Year One Genesis" as we could call it could use some revisions. I am fairly pleasantly surprised by most of the history though. I'd suggest leaving room for regular Hulk to exist and so forth instead of negating him completely.

I think my app is finished, probably. I hope if it's okay to add NPC's to the community through sheets like I did.

Maximum Comics – Insurrection \ CLOSED

October 5th, 1948 | Remnants of HYDRA attack several SHIELD facilities using surprising effective intelligence clueing in that they have been waiting to re-emerge for sometime. They steal the second version of the REBIRTH serum that was used on James Barnes.

June 22nd, 1958 | The US Government sends James Barnes and the Invaders to reacquire the serum from HYDRA, the mission is successful but not at a cost as the serum is destroyed in the process.

There is some hints from the prebuild that James Barnes became the Captain America of the later 20th Century for a time, but eventually retired the mantle when the fight with HYDRA was dealt with? I'm not sure about the specifics of the specifics since this was all when we were brainstorming about four months ago.

I would say it doesn't put much at conflict with Stephanie Carter, especially when a James Barnes sheet isn't written and posted for you to go off of in the first place. But yeah, name of the game is cooperation and such so I'm sure you guys will work it out.

David “Detective” Levitski

“They’re hungry and sick, yeah, so what, I have a solution right here with this baseball bat.”

Age
51

Gender
Male

Former Occupation
Police Detective

Appearance
By appearances sake, David Levitski looks like the opposite of who he is—his smiles seem genuine, his manners can seem perfectly charming, and he gives off the impression of a kind-hearted traditional cop. Even before the epidemic David kept himself in shape to keep himself on the level with the criminals he constantly dealt with and the truth remains in this “apocalypse” (though he just calls it Tuesday). For clothing preference, not much has changed except for a bit more tears and stains in his clothes which consist of a trenchcoat and scarf in colder seasons or a light jacket in the warmer seasons alongside unassuming buttoned or non-buttoned shirts and jeans or khakis. He does always prefer boots though.

Height
5'9"

Weight
174lbs

Affiliates
Annette Danes – The “leader” of the community and probably the hardest working politician David knows, which is a compliment given David’s disposition towards well… everybody. If nothing else, Annette Danes is the individual he most respects as when there is a problem she strives to fix it and is most certainly not afraid to get her hands dirty.

Melissa Reynolds – A high school teacher from David’s original group, relatively young and suffering from neurotic fits of temperament. She taught literature to 10th grade students before the apocalypse came.

Nedine Rivera – Despite all of David’s attitude and personality flaws, he has a certain enjoyment for hobbyists like Ned; a woman who has collected what she could of the books. It’s surprising that David doesn’t think the prose of old dead men are better suited to fuel for stoves or other equipment but perhaps that has to do with his positive feelings toward the former wordsmith. He probably thinks she talks too much, though.

Shelia Carter – No opinion, really; David probably thinks it is good that she minds her own business.

Richard Levitski – An idealistic former police officer who has a habit of being the best of the people around him despite having a frail physique—not that his uncle cares anything about him at all. To Detective Levitski he is nothing but an naïve mouth-breather who shouldn’t even be in the same time zone as him, despite the fact he is family even before the epidemic the former detective cared nothing for his family as he saw them as relentless chores to deal with and that is without mentioning his particularly toxic relationship with his brother that sired the idiot nephew he so depressingly seems to be stuck with.

Thomas Wilton – A retired folk singer who achieved minor fame some odd decades ago, he’s been with David since before the community was developed and despite his age strives to keep everybody’s spirits high through song and storytelling. Apparently worked as a plumber and general laborer after his music career failed him professionally.

Naz – Whoever Naz is, David likes her opinions. People should be armed, survivors should be cautious, and we need to do what we have to survive. That last one is important and the opinion is probably mutual.

Skills
As a career cop David has collected various skills such as familiarity with handguns & revolvers, investigation talents for picking up on clues in people as well as the environment, occasional lock-picking, and breaking limbs with baseball bats. Wait, what? Truth be told, David was not a “by-the-book” detective in his time and in fact is kind of “mostly corrupt asshole” detective where he was known to use intimidation and physical assault in many situations to get what he wanted. If the situation needed this arsonist to have a three broken fingers to get some information then David would break four. Despite this sense of ruthlessness, David is good at his job as his skills make obvious.

Strengths & Weaknesses
It is likely that the strongest personality traits David has are the ones that are the most despicable and unaesthetically pleasing such as his cynicism, tactless honesty, realism, and ruthlessness. He would rather kill someone than have them “waste” supplies, views the world as it is and not as it should be, and always strive for a hard-working diligence. These traits obviously put him at odds with others when they are shown, especially in abundance, though there is a utility to the way the polish-american detective is.

If his strengths are not a sort of double-edged weakness, then there are options to be perceived for what are. This includes his excessive nature to be prone to violence, his patronizing view of optimistic viewpoints, his short-sightedness when he is in a bad mood, and what some could view as a two-faced attitude towards others like in the instance he hates his own nephew but quite enjoys the company of Nedine Rivera.

In terms of habits and indulgences he also is fond of a good vodka whenever he can find it.

Eventually came the epidemic, and as he pushed himself from group to group with his small assortment of survivors (his nephew, a folk singer, a high school teacher, and a few others) collided with another in February of 2014. The rest of David’s story is ongoing and the past is mostly buried as he cemented himself within the community Annette Danes founded.

And so it continues…

I love zombie horror, but it has to be engaging (The Last of Us, Telltale's The Walking Dead, The Zombie Hunters, etc.) and done well.
