I mean my biggest issue is I feel like it might cheapen with the story I'm going for between Clark and Jon, would I be able to persuade you to either have him been on Earth a little longer (So Lois actually took part in his Earth Upbringing, maybe have him moved out but still close) or we could have Kara be in the picture and he stays with her in metropolis and have Clark more as an Uncle type figure?
I mean I'm willing to work with you going forward, it's just these slight changes would fit better for my vision for Clark.
I actually was thinking of him originally arriving before Lois died so he could understand what Clark was going through/feeling. Plus him having to deal with the loss as well. Then I just saw the Despero attack as an opportunity to bring him in. But yeah, he could've arrived 1-3 years earlier. However long you feel is best. And we can come up with a way for him to arrive earlier.
@King Kindred I gotta ask, should I run unopposed as Clark and get the spot, what are you expecting from me? I'm just trying to figure out how to fit you into my vision for Clark.
Some father-son bonding.
But really Clark being reminded of himself and his beginnings when he looks at Kieran. From the struggles of being on an alien planet and the powers and responsibilities that come with it. Though sometimes I could see him unintentionally neglecting Kieran and his needs with all that he has going on dealing with his grief and raising Jon as a widowed father. Basically have Kieran experience all sides of Clark, including his flaws.
He may even try and help him regain his memories but after a time both of them start putting little to no effort into it as it seems hopeless and Kieran stops caring altogether. And if Clark has dealt with evil Kryptonians in his past we could explore him having to worry about Kieran being one if his memories are restored.

Kieran Kent aka Kor-El is actually Lor-Zod, the son of Dru-Zod. He was conceived, born and raised in part of the Phantom Zone where time still moved. He was seen as a last chance of salvation for the prisoners of the zone. He was freed a few years before the Despero attack, but due to some unforeseen and unknown circumstances his memories were wiped.
A young child at the age of eleven in a strange, unknown world with no friend or family in sight. He just sort of drifted for a while. Learning English wasn't difficult for him. He watched TV's in windows and read newspapers and picked it up rather quickly and efficiently. He found out about heroes, the Justice League, and most importantly Superman this way. He didn't know how, but he recognized the crest on the hero's chest. He followed the story to Metropolis where he ended up encountering his first villain. At first he just thought he was a weird little man that wanted to play, but he soon realized that the games this man wanted to play were dangerous. He took down the Toyman and continued his search.
His search didn't take long because what he was looking for had found him. Superman tried to help him figure out who he was or where he came from, but he didn't have any luck and a huge part of Clark felt that in a way all Kryptonians were his responsibility and he knew that Lois wouldn't forgive him if abandon this kid to be on his own. So he took him to Smallville where he gave him a name, introduced him to Jon and Lois, and enrolled him in school, but not before teaching him how to control his powers. Kieran had a family and he was happy, but that would change one fateful day a few years later when Despero attacked and his new mother was killed.
Kieran loved Clark, but he could always see a deep sadness within him that he wished he could do something about. He had grown to love Lois too, but his grief was nowhere near on the same level as his father's. Having the powers of a god, but being unable to save the one you love made it all pointless. Part of Kieran felt responsible as well. He wasn't a member of the League but he should have been there. He was a Kryptonian. What good were these powers if he didn't use them when the world needed them most? Kieran did the best he could to help him in his grief, but he knew that nothing he could do would ever be enough. He wasn't his real son and he couldn't bring his wife back either.
After a while Kieran was bored with the mundane. He wanted to show Clark that he was wrong to retire and that his team of heroes were wrong to disband. With his reluctant blessing Seraph started his career as both a solo and team player. At the time the name Superboy was taken and he honestly didn't feel himself worthy of the name Superman after all he had learned, but wanted to one day earn it so for now he'd take to the skies as Seraph, Earth's Angel.

Superman is without a doubt my favorite superhero, the other being Dick Grayson and whatever costume he's wearing. Anyway, I love Kryptonians and what you can do with them storywise when it comes to these godlike beings wanting to experience life as humans while doing what they can to protect them. I also like the premise of nature vs nurture which is what I'm going with here. Kieran here is giving a clean slate and one day there is a possibility of his memories coming back and he'll have to decide whether he's loyal to Earth, Superman, and his role as a hero or will he be loyal to his true family and his father's nature and plans for him?
With Kieran he's going to be battling a lot mentally. Not as concerned with his amnesia he's more concerned with being worthy in the eyes of a grieving father who may not even truly see him. He's just another reminder of what he lost with Krypton and even in his retirement he's being forced with responsibility he never asked for. Whether or not that's how Clark sees it that's how Kieran sees it. He also feels overshadowed by Jon, his true son, and Conner, the carrier of his mantle despite him being the true Kryptonian.
Also I know the Justice League disbanded four years ago, but if any teen groups popped up or stayed during that time Kieran likely would've joined one or two during these past four years.
Just realized I haven't posted in the OOC yet, but I am writing my CS up as I type. My character will be Lor-Zod adopted by a grieving Clark Kent after the death of Lois. He has amnesia and doesn't care too much about his past and only focuses on living up to the legacy of his adopted father and dealing with his insecurity of being in Jon and Conner's shadows. I haven't read all of the sheets yet, but I am loving the ensemble we have so far.
I have been thinking of doing Terry Mcginnis as Batman. Either that or Superboy dealing with his dad, Superman, finally retiring in Smallville. (But if anything, and if it'd be alright, I really want to write the TMNT someday).
*comes in to see both Terry and Supes being looked at before I saw the interest check.*
Just want to publicly say I'm backing off my Thunderbolts concept, incase its existence was dissuading anyone from using the characters included or the Tbolts name.
In the spirit of this I'm also backing off my Panthress concept. Storm and T'Challa/Black Panther are both free to use.
