"My fellow Americans, today is a hard day. Four years ago, to this day. An alien by the name of Despero attacked the headquarters of the Justice League, right here. In our nation's capital. When the dust settled, and the heroes went home to lick their wounds we, the people, were left to once again to tidy up the mess of the Superman and the so called superheroes. In my tenure as CEO of LexCorp I did all I could to help restore the Metro-area to what it once was, and as President I have spent my time trying to limit the access, abilities and destruction caused by the meta-human.

In these troubling times it is more important than ever to look out and care for one another and just know that we are here for you, the people and are doing everything possible to make this world, a safer place.-

The TV in Kieran's dorm room would explode mid-broadcast and his eyes would glow a faint red before a knock was heard at his door. The young Kryptonian sped over to his nightstand where he kept his pair of glasses and sped back to his bed just as the door to his room began to open. Kieran quickly put them on and pretended to read a book as his friend Brooke Baker ran inside.

"Kieran are you okay?" She asked frantically before scanning the room. "I heard an explosion." She was the floor's RA but they became close after he came home late after a night of patrolling the campus and city. She spotted the TV and gave it a puzzling look before turning her head to look at Kieran who was acting like there wasn't a busted television in his room.

Kieran was a terrible liar and just said the only feasible thing he could come up with. "It spontaneously combusted. Probably got overheated from the steaming pile of bullshit coming from Luthor's mouth."

"I don't think that's how TV's work, but how are you feeling? I know it's the anniversary since your mom... You sure you don't want to take off from classes for the week and visit the monument with your dad and Jon?"

"He doesn't want me up there. He doesn't even want me around." Kieran put his book down giving up on the facade that he was even reading. Lois and Kal-El had given him everything for three years. He felt their love and acceptance, but all that went away when she died. He still looked up to what Superman was and hoped that his continued actions as Seraph and wearing these stupid glasses would get him to notice him and come back to the light, but that's all it was. Hope. Nothing would be the same ever again and he was coming to terms with that.

"That's not true." She ran up to him and embraced him in a hug that felt like a warmth he hadn't experienced in a long time.

"It is true. He sent me to Metropolis to live with my uncle before I enrolled at MSU."

"He's going through grief, Kent. The life they made together? Lois and Clark are the stuff of legends here in Metropolis. What they had isn't so easily worked through. Give him time. He'll come around."

Maybe she was right. About almost all of it. Maybe he did need to take some time off to work through his grief this week. However he didn't have plans on going to the Memorial. To work through his grief he needed to punch something, hard.

I wasn't part of Guildfall. I came here from a different roleplay site that I was part of since High School as well as different games Byond. But I've roleplayed with a good amount of people here quite a few times.

When did the TT/JJ disband in this? I revised it to where Kieran has has been here for 7 years rather than 4 so he likely would've also started pursuing heroics earlier as well. Especially with Clark's Superman being active at the time.

C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T ________________________________________________________________________________________ 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. P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) ________________________________________________________________________________________ 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.

So @King Kindred are we going with Kieran isn't currently living with Clark and isn't going to be stopping by all the time? I have seen the changes to the sheet but I just wanted to check we were on the same page going forward, with Clark dumping him on his uncle

@Sep

Yeah. He's stationed in Metropolis and going to school. Unless there's an emergency or Jon needs some brotherly bonding he won't have much reason to go to Smallville.

DC Comics Roleplay: Fall of Justice

I admit, I'm curious to see how Connor and Seraph coexist in this.

@Retired

Honestly same. I haven't played Kieran in one where he's played. Usually he's paired with another son of Luthor.

DC Comics Roleplay: Fall of Justice

Woo! I finally reached the 48 hour mark. Just need to do some relations with @Supermaxx but besides that I'm ready.

And Merry Christmas everyone!

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.

@Sep

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.

DC Comics Roleplay: Fall of Justice

We got the trinity now, noice.

@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.

@Sep

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.
