Why are you here when you should be writing posts?

You can edit a bad draft, but you cannot edit a blank page.

Katar and Shayera Hol were a pair of alien law enforcement known on their homeworld of Thangar as 'Wingmen'. Thangar was the Capital of the Thanagarian Empire, the successor to the Polaran Empire which had previously ruled the Polaris System. In the spirit of their predecessors, the Thanagarians had become an expansionist race that plundered other worlds and stripped them of their resources and treasures to fund their ever-expanding fleet. Numerous members of their conquered worlds were taken as slaves and used to further the goals of the Thanagarians.

As Wingmen, Katar and Shayera were responsible for ensuring the general populace's obedience to the Empire and among their duties was prisoner transportation. It was this duty they were carrying out when the pair's patrol craft was pulled through a wormhole before crashlanding on Earth nearly five thousand years ago. Surviving the crash, Katar and Shayera found themselves on an unfamiliar world in a foreign system. Seeking out a settlement, the pair found their way to Memphis.

The Egyptians were astonished by the pair of Thanagarians and immediately became enamoured with their visitors due to the resemblance of their armour to the god, Horus. Welcomed with open arms, the pair were worshipped as gods by the people who believed that Horus had blessed them with his children. However, one of the high priests, Hath-Set, grew envious of the attention and worship the pair received. Craving it all for himself, Hath-Set began to covet Shayera as well, stalking the woman until he began to obsess over her.

However, when the high priest finally confessed his feelings to Shayera, she spurned his affections choosing to remain loyal to Katar. In vengeance, Hath-Set planned to murder the two aliens exposing them as flesh and blood instead of the gods the people believed them to be. Poisoning their drinks in order to weaken the pair of Thanagarians, Hath-Set had their unconscious bodies moved to his sacred chamber where he planned to carry out their murder as a sacrifice to his own god. Using a knife made from the heart of a meteor, the blade cursed Katar and Shayera to forever be reincarnated, only to fall in love all over again. Then, at the point when their love for each other was greatest, the hourglass would turn, and they would both die before their time.

Since that first death, Katar and Shayera have lived out hundreds of lives, each different from the last and plagued with the memories of those that came before. Each life followed the same template, the pair would grow up, start their lives and eventually find the other, fall in love and then watch the other die. Sometimes one would die years before the other, other times they would die together, but no matter the lifetime the pair were forced to endure one tragic end after another.

This latest reincarnation of Katar Hol has been slowly piecing together his past lives, using his knowledge of history to run the Midway City Museum of Ancient History. Unlike previous iterations, he has yet to meet his Shayera and instead has been working as an archeologist to recover artifacts from around the world while leading a double life as a vigilante. Cursed with an insatiable need for justice, Katar has found himself unable to ignore the troubles of the world and has single-handedly taken it upon himself to clean up Midway City. Recovering his Nth Metal armour, he's been dubbed both a 'Guardian Angel' and the 'Hawkman' by the local media despite his heavy-handed methods.

Seeking a way to end the curse put on him by Hath-Set, Carter's passion for archeology comes searching for the same knife that had cursed himself and Shayera. Unfortunately, he has yet to discover the blade leading him to continue his search whenever he has time away from the museum.

On an author level, I believe Hawkman could be an interesting character for me to portray. Given his history and greater scope, he has a lot in common with Thor while having less popular mythos than the likes of Batman. His power levels and abilities allow him to travel the globe and interact with other players and characters for both collaborations or large-scale events.

Hawkman's rougher personality will likely be a challenge for me to portray but at the same time, I think it could be fun playing a character who is rougher around the edges and not afraid to speak his mind. For the time being, I'm going to be keeping Carter strictly Earthbound and doing small arcs to get my feet wet before looking into a grander scope and using Thanagar and the other mythology attached there. It is my intention to also have Hath-Set and Vandal Savage be one and the same ala DC's Legends of Tomorrow.

@Lord Wraith I was more commenting on the fact that we hadn't heard from any of the GMs for weeks. If you're reviving this I'd still like to pick up my old characters.


Acknowledged.
Oh, am I out? This is the first I'm hearing about it.


@Retired I've counted this as dead since all of the GMs jumped ship like a month ago.


This coupled with several other comments had led me to believe so. If this is incorrect I will rescind my application. Otherwise I'll be moving ahead with my plans.

With the shake-up to the roster, and my plans coming together to revitalize the IC, I'd like to swap Carol for the following:

Thor
>Respin the IC to have the current 'Thor' be an imposter (Loki or Ragnarok?), Imposter Thor kills Steve, with Fury still missing and Steve dead, Waller is able to appoint Maria as the new head of SHIELD.
>The real Thor meanwhile was banished from Asgard, (time discrepancy between Asgard and Midgard? Could explain why Asgardians age seemingly slower?)
>Sent to Earth in the form of an infant, raised with vague memories of Asgard and a 'knowing' of who he was in the vaguest, abstract of the notion.
>Grew up with his adoptive parents, Jonathan and Martha Kent in Smallville, Kansas.
>Primary plot would tie into the murder of Steve Rogers and tracking down 'Thor'
>Inciting event could be Sif seeking out her love on Earth

Reusing some ideas of my past takes on Thor, combining them with existing ideas and plots in the Sensation & Wonder thread, I've come up something I think is pretty fresh and exciting. As we've already had a Thor appear in the IC, I'm choosing to acknowledge that and instead extrapolate the events in a different direction, with the alleged 'Thor' attacking Director Steven Rogers. However, that 'Thor' is none other than a plot to put distract Asgard with a war against Midgard.

The real Thor, however, was actually banished from Asgard and sent to Earth in the form of an infant to learn humility and meekness. Raised on a small farm outside of Smallville, Kansas, Thor was given the adoptive identity of Clark Kent. While aware, in the vaguest abstract of the word, of his true identity, Thor/Clark, lived a fairly normal and uneventful life.

That at least was until a raven haired warrior appeared in a blinding burst of rainbow light at the Kent farm...

With Nightwing, I have the joy and fun of playing an established character, and while I was doing more of an origin lean with Green Lantern, the character never really clicked with me. Thor was a character that I thoroughly enjoyed playing in past games and while I was brainstorming how to really shake up the IC, the idea of having an abandoned character become an antagonistic foe that happened to allow me to portray Thor once again was too good of an idea to pass on. Acknowledging my previous inspirations from Superman and playing on the remnants of the Big Blue's lore that doesn't interfere with John Table's Calvin Ellis, I've put together a pretty 'ultimatized' version of Thor that I think will be fun to explore in the IC.

Appreciate both of you replying! @AndyC if you change your mind, you're always welcome to return.
Hey all, just wanted to do a role call for some of the folks I haven't heard from. Would like to ideally have a bit of a headcount to better plan the event and update the roster.

If I didn't tag you, it's either because we've talked in the thread or Discord, or you've otherwise let me know you're in/out.

Just respond in the thread, like the post, whatever floats your fancy to let me know if you're still in. If you're not, you can let me know or ignore this post.:

MULTIVERSAL MAYHEM
_________________________________________________________
■ Summary: When a series of rifts open above New York City, the East Coast is plunged back into the chaos of the Dominators Disaster once again as time is warped around the city's Eastern seaboard. Elsewhere in the city though, other timelines collide as the Chitauri pour out on the unprepared population. In another borough, a horde of Kroloteans have been scattered across Queens.

■ Location: New York City (Brooklyn, Manhattan & Queens)

■ Priority: Urgent

Multiversal Mayhem #1.01: What If... There Were Portals?

Interaction(s): None
Previously: None

A triumphant noise escaped the man's pursed lips as he ran a relieved hand through his thinning hair. He had been forgotten about for years, ignored by the scientific community as a whole. His theories on time travel and the multiverse had fallen on deaf ears, refuted by his peers. It had cost him his tenure, disgraced him on a global stage. Dr. David Chilton used to be invited to talks alongside Tony Stark and Reed Richards, now he worked in an oversized storage closet, berated and undermined by his wife at every chance she got.

But not today, today there was a stable portal opening in front of David Chilton, a stable portal that allowed him to look into time passed or time not yet seen. Worlds previously unknown were within his grasp, worlds where instead of Enid, he had married Scarlett Johansson. Entire new universes were within his grasp.

Today belonged to David Chilton.

With his newfound mastery over time and space, Chilton could go anywhere, be anyone, have anything he desired. The disgraced professor smiled; a thought suddenly occurred to him. He could travel back to the attack on New York, warn the people, aid the heroes or more importantly, be the hero. He could be the sole reason they won that day. NO longer would Chilton be henpecked by his wife, forced to work on his experiments in this tiny room while she took over the rest of the house with her side hustles and essential oils.

The amount of debt they had accumulated from all-natural fizzy drink additives was enough to drive a man mad. It honestly would not have surprised David if the Joker was actually sane and just one day got sick of his wife peddling a similar pyramid scheme and decided to go off on Gotham. David would even sympathize with the man for it!

Well, except maybe the mass murder.

Adjusting the inputs on his computer, David watched the colours of the portal shift from a cool blue into a warm orange. The familiar sight of the skull-like ship above Times Square filled the view.

"No, need to go back more." David muttered, moving his arm to adjust the display only for his forearm to collide with a mug of hot coffee. Jumping from the splash of hot liquid on his arm, a panic squeal came out of the man as he reacted too late to stop the beverage from spilling over his workspace.

"That had better not have been one of my good mugs, you worthless excuse for a man!" Enid's voice echoed from down the hallway. "I don't know why I didn't listen to my mother, she said she could have gotten me a date with Oliver Queen, I could have been Mrs. Queen, QUEEN! but instead, I settled for your lazy a-"

The slamming of the closet door interrupted his wife's tirade as David quickly shut the machine down and picked up the pieces of the shattered mug. Taking a deep breath, he opened the door only to be met by his wife's very red face.

"Don't you dare slam the door on me, you spineless-"

"SHUT UP!" David roared back, "I don't have to take this from you, I don't have to take anything from anyone ever again."

"Ha! I-"

"I'm not done talking, Enid." David continued, turning back around pressing a key on the computer. A new portal began to form. Lush jungles appeared in the haze as Enid was left nearly speechless.

"W-w-what is that?"

"How about a first-hand experience?" David sneered suddenly grabbing Enid and pushing her through the portal. A prehistoric roar echoed over her screens before David gleefully closed the portal. An unexpected flash of red illuminated the screen prompting a raised eyebrow from Chilton.

- - -   S A T E L L I T E   U P L I N K   C O M P L E T E   - - -

"Wait, no!" David protested as the device continued to input commands of its own free will.

- - -   T A R G E T I N G   S E Q U E N C E   L O C K E D   - - -

Above the city, the Wayne Enterprises satellite complied with the commands of David's program. Altering its angle, the orbiting relay targeted the city below and began to emit three pulses towards the city below. High above Manhattan, a portal began to take shape just as it had moments ago in Chilton's 'lab'. The horrifying screech of a Dominators ship echoed above Times Square as it emerged from the portal only to be drowned out by the roar of a very much not extinct tyrannosaurus rushing towards the bustling crowds.

A second pulse illuminated the nearby horizon as a second portal opened above Brooklyn. An unearthly roar echoed across the skyline as a giant worm-like beast flew through. Armour was grafted onto its body and as it neared the city, pods departed from its side revealing another alien race within. Descending upon Brooklyn, the aliens began to fire indiscriminately. Above the borough, the portal closed again, before opening in the distance.

Above Queens, a third portal opened. Screams filled the air, but not from the city below but instead the sky above as numerous, small, green goblin-like aliens were dropped to the city below. Panic engulfed New York as the portals continued to open and close above the city, hostiles and friendlies alike from different times and universes descended upon New York all while Chilton watched with horror from the window of his home. Watching the goblin-like aliens run through his yard, David ran back towards the closet.

There was no way he was sticking around here to see how this all ended.

Appreciate the update @Mao Mao!

I know some of you were probably expecting me to post by now, but I haven't had the time to do so yet, unfortunately. I do have the time allotted this coming weekend and will be working hard to ensure I carry through on that promise.
