@Master Bruce Awesome. Cheers.

I can approve you for Green Arrow once you have the sample done, but Dinah's gonna have to remain firmly in the supporting character status. Which means that in the same way I can't technically stop anyone from submitting an Oracle CS, I can at least say that she's vital to my stories and advise against the person trying to pick her up. You'd have to do the same, essentially.

@Master Bruce

Gotcha. Can the backstory – in that Ollie and Dinah were on the Island together – remain unchanged, but the actual sheet only be a Green Arrow one, for the sake of my concept? It all kinda hinges on that premise.

CLOSED - Ultimate One Universe: Season One

WIP. Just have a sample left to write. I know that this technically breaches the one character rule, but given that these two's stories are so closely entwined, I hope that it isn't too big of one.

The Island has transformed Oliver. Put through a gauntlet of violence and death, he’s come out the other side with skills his younger self would never have dreamed of. Oliver’s an archer, and a damn good one at that. The desperation of a life spent surviving has instilled within him a philosophy of never missing, and that’s reflected in his markmanship – when he shoots an arrow, it meets its mark. His years away have seen him become a formidable combatant in peak physical condition; struggles on the Island were quick and brutal, and his style reflects that. Urban and environmental traversal were essential then, and they’re essential now – and his knowledge of Russian and Japanese don’t hurt, either. The thing he got really good at, though… really good at… was the art of killing.

But he tries not to think about that.

Dinah grew up as a semi-formed badass. Made to train in a variety of martial arts by her parents, she was already pretty good at boxing, taekwondo, krav maga and Brazilian jiu jitsu, among others – and the Island forced her to change that proficiency into mastery, far beyond Oliver’s capabilities... which should really, really scare you. Like Ollie, she’s in peak physical condition, and is even better on her feet than he is, moving through her environment with the grace of an acrobat. She’s as multilingual as he is, and has gotten quite good with a staff and sword. Probably the most noteworthy development, though, is her innate ability to emit a powerful sonic scream.

Oliver Jonas Queen was born to Robert and Moira Queen in Star City, California, in the year of 1990. His family was extremely wealthy, his father the founder and CEO of Queen Industries, a multi-billion dollar conglomerate with a strong foothold in the international technology market. Oliver wanted for naught, his every need provided for him, and then some. His view on life was that it was easy, and one only had to take a look at him to see it: he was lazy, arrogant, and ignorant of the struggles most other people faced. As a young teen, he took a brief interest in archery, and in typical Queen fashion, he was provided with the best instructor money could hire, taught privately at the Queen Family Mansion. This would last all of two years, Oliver’s focus shifting towards other, less disciplined hobbies. Together with his best friend, Tommy Merlyn, he barely scraped through boarding school, and after it was over, all they knew was booze and women.

Dinah Laurel Lance was born to Quentin Lawrence "Larry" Lance and Dinah Drake in Gotham City, New Jersey, in the year of 1990. Larry was a cop, and saw many of the horrors that life had to offer; armed with a rather cynical worldview, he made sure that his daughter grew up with the tools to take on any trouble she might face. Boxing, taekwondo, krav maga – he made her learn it all, so that she might not one day become another statistic in his reports. When the opportunity came for a transfer to safer pastures, Larry took it, and the family moved to Star City when Dinah was thirteen. She would discover her talent for singing in junior high, taking private lessons at school and performing in school shows when she wasn’t training or helping her mother at her florist shop. She met Oliver Queen when they were twenty-two. He was an idiot, and she was unlike any other girl he’d been with before: one with character. Somehow, they started dating.

Sick of his son’s frivolous ways, Robert decided to take Oliver with him on a business trip to Beijing for his twenty-third birthday. Travelling on Robert’s yacht, The Queen’s Gambit, he hoped to talk some sense into Oliver, if not to convince him to get his MBA and take a position in Queen Industries, then to try and get him to try out philanthropy for himself, or, well... anything. Oliver saw this as an opportunity for something else; with their relationship on shaky ground, he invited Dinah along in an attempt to stabilise it, envisioning a romantic few weeks on the water. It was around then that he realised he might finally be taking something seriously. Before any serious talks, Robert gave Oliver his birthday present – Howard Hill’s bow from The Adventures of Robin Hood – in an attempt to remind Oliver of the last time he truly had a passion for something. He would attempt to broach the subject of responsibility tomorrow. But before he could do so, the Gambit was swept in a freak storm, and as it sunk, Oliver watched his father die – left to drift in a lifeboat with Dinah. They arrived at shore days later, stranded in a place they would come to know only as "The Island." Back home, Dinah Lance, and Oliver and Robert Queen were presumed dead, buried in empty coffins.

Five years later, Oliver and Dinah returned home. Much had changed during the time they were gone, and for the next four months, they would try to adjust to civilised life once more, intending to leave the horrors of the Island behind. But life has a funny way of spitting in your face.

The biggest differences, I think, are that a) Oliver and Dinah knew each other before they started dabbling in this superhero gig, b) they were on the Island together, and c) neither of them really wants to do anything with their abilities, and would really rather just try to adjust to normal life again. Obviously, this won’t work out for them, and before long we’ll see bad guys shot at with arrows, with their eardrums blown out. It’s just a matter of time.

A thing to note is that they aren’t the Oliver and Dinah from the comics yet. They’re both still dealing with their experiences on the Island, and neither will get over them for quite some time. But they are together, and in that same fashion, they’ll eventually move past their damage, and (hopefully) take their place among the greats.

A millennium ago, the last of the pagan Northmen renounced their beliefs in the Aesir and the Vanir. The death of the great Jotunn, Ymir, was replaced by Genesis; Valhalla and Helheim replaced by Heaven and Hell; the world tree, Yggdrasil, all but discarded; and the many gods and goddesses of Asgard replaced by just one, the Christ-God. But there was a time before, when the Northmen still sailed to conquer new lands, that they would worship the cunning Odin, the mighty Thor, the beautiful Freya and mischievous Loki. Their stories would be passed on from parent to child, warrior to warrior, farmer to farmer – and although the truths in these stories would get lost amid retellings and revisions, there were those who knew them well. Those such as Ragnar Lodbrok, legendary king of the Northmen, and friend to Donar – who, illuminated by hearthfire and as impassioned as in battle, would tell his sons the true stories of the gods.

“Thor is the god of thunder; the son of the All-Father, Odin, and the giantess, Jord. He is the protector of the Aesir, sworn guardian of Asgard, and wielder of the great hammer, Mjolnir. He was born with hair as red as blood and bright as flames, his eyes as blue as lightning; and as he grew from boy to man his body changed into that of a great warrior, his godly strength proving to be greater than both the Aesir’s and the Vanir’s. Long ago, when his youthful energy was more explosive than the thunderous sky, he was gifted with his first weapon by the dwarves of Nidavellir – Jarnbjorn, the battle axe. With it he honed his skills as a warrior, and battled many a jotunn, until he became known as their scourge.

“His home is Bilskirnir, the largest hall in Asgard; his realm, Thrudheim. He shares it with Sif, his wife, the goddess of grain and harvest, and his children: Magni, Modi, Thrud, and his stepson, Ullr. He has travelled deep into Jotunheim, and emerged victorious. He has bested Utgard-Loki, and killed Hrungnir. He blesses us on our raids in faraway lands, and gives us fertile soil so that we may last the harsh winter. With Mjolnir, most powerful weapon in all the Nine Realms, he is fiercer than storms; with us, on Midgard, he is as gentle as the calm breeze on a bright summer’s day. He is Thor. He is our friend. Destined is he to kill the Midgard Serpent, Jormungandr... just as the Serpent is destined to kill him, when Ragnarok comes, destroying everything, and everyone.”

But there is something that not Ragnar, not the Vikings, not even the Gods accounted for. Thor is not in Asgard anymore.

This isn't Kirby and Lee's Thor. Asgard isn't a grand, golden metropolis, and its gods aren't extra-dimensional beings. This Thor has a much firmer basis in the original Norse myths, grounding him in what I reckon is a far more epic, personal interpretation of the guy. On top of this, in a twist on the old "exiled god" origin Marvel seems so fond of, this Thor has exiled himself. Why? That's for you to find out.

^{San Francisco Bay - The Titan Tower}

The boy called Garfield shook Billy’s hand, a little timid, almost nervous. It occurred to Billy that some of the people on this roof were new to this sort of thing, and boy, could he relate. He remembered the first time he met Superman, only a few months into this whole Captain Marvel business; his stomach filled to the brim with butterflies, much too awed to say anything other than “Wow.” The Man of Steel had just smiled a gentle smile and said, “You’re going to go far, son.”

Billy sure hoped so.

Doing his best to ignore a sudden pang of sadness, he gave Beast Boy his own alias – so lost in thought had he been for those brief moments that he’d barely registered the speedy arrival of another Titan, who surely matched the Speed of Mercury. Did that call for a race?

He thought yes.

“Beast Boy? Cool. I’m Captain Marvel,” answered Billy, his grin returning. “From Fawcett City. I’m, uh, magic and stuff.”
