<Snipped quote by Lord Wraith>



Someone stop me for my own sake

@Roman

Nah, this is too much fun.

Sensation & Wonder: An Absolute Comics Roleplay [DC & Marvel One Universe Style Game]

@Roman

Yup.

@Dead Cruiser think I'll be passing on Hector Hall.

Back to the drawing board.

@Lord Wraith Would you write a separate character as Hawkman II? Hector Hall maybe?

@Dead Cruiser

I'll do some research and think it over.

Sensation & Wonder: An Absolute Comics Roleplay [DC & Marvel One Universe Style Game]

@Dead Cruiser Would I be able to apply as Hawkman and disregard the pre-established interaction in the IC?

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 ________________________________________________________________________________________ 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. P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) ________________________________________________________________________________________ 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.

@Dead Cruiser

Acknowledged.

Sensation & Wonder: An Absolute Comics Roleplay [DC & Marvel One Universe Style Game]

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

@Dead Cruiser

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

@Dead Cruiser

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:

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 ________________________________________________________________________________________ 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... P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) ________________________________________________________________________________________ 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.

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
