Bio

Reluctantly retired roleplayer.

Except when I'm not.

Why are you here when you should be writing posts?

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

With any luck the IC will be open by the end of today!
Pm works, and I'm nowhere near the writer I want to be but thank you nonetheless.
If you have Skype, you can PM me and I'll add you. If you want to bounce ideas off someone, I'm usually logged in on my mobile and not too far away. That said I won't give you ideas, but if you want my thoughts on your ideas then I'll give you that.

I'm having trouble with Caldwell's early years/dad's death. I have literally everything else. Help?


So I hate to be blunt (who am I kidding? I love being blunt), but we already spoon fed you the basic idea for your CS. I can guarantee that none of us want to help you write it. I know I personally have at least two character sheets of my own on the go, plus managing a few other RPs while developing a continuity between them. And that's without throwing in my RL that chews away my time.

I can't speak for the others, but I mean even you should be able to realize by the amount of RPs that Gowi is in/runs plus how many characters he has, that last thing he wants to do is walk you through making your CS. Take some time to think out your CS instead of trying to hammer it out over night. There's no time limit, take your time, brain storm some ideas and then choose the one you like the most. Heck look up Wrath on various Wikis, the character existed before the New52 and has had several version. Watch 'The Batman' episode with him in it, download some of the comics he's been in. Then take all that and put your spin on it. But don't come running for help whenever you hit a wall. If you want to improve your skills you're going to need to learn how to start breaking down walls.

Ah. Difficult to discern with all of the other poor concept ideas running amuck recently.


Depending on what version of Prometheus you're going with, they both have some unique attributes to them.

Wikipedia said Curt Calhoun, the original Prometheus, possesses a metal epidermis, which confers superior strength and durability. Calhoun is also capable of raising the temperature of his armored form to several hundred degrees Celsius.

If I understand that correctly, Calhoun would have Colossus like abilities.

Wikipedia said The second Prometheus possesses no superhuman abilities, but like the hero Batman has undergone intense physical and mental training and utilizes an extensive range of equipment and technology. Common tools include body armor; gauntlets that fire various projectiles; a tonfa with several technological features; and a helmet that in addition to emitting strobe lighting capable of disorientation and hypnotism, can via a compact disc allow a download of the knowledge and physical skills of others directly into his brain, his default disc including the skills of thirty of the world's greatest martial artists. Where Prometheus obtains this information is not known, but his combat skills include the duplicated abilities of Batman and Lady Shiva, although it is unclear how much combat training he would possess if he had to fight without the helmet. The 'battlesuit'/helmet combination is also equipped with an Artificial Intelligence that can rapidly calculate and deploy a variety of strategies and countermeasures that have allowed Prometheus at various times to incapacitate entire groups of Justice Leaguers singlehandedly and simultaneously. Finally, the second Prometheus possesses the "Ghost Key," which allows the villain to teleport himself and other objects and persons to and from a dimension called the "Ghost Zone." It can also be used to inflict total molecular disintegration on a target, but Prometheus only employed this function once, when he eliminated an unsuspecting Retro.


So we have someone who can learn anyone martial arts skills and knowledge, hypnotize others, has an AI which makes him a master strategist and can teleport. He's a real buzzkill for any other player to RP with.

Wikipedia said The third Prometheus relies on the use of two pistols, although he also possesses his mentor's helmet and artificial skills, giving him the training to defeat even Lady Shiva in a matter of seconds.


This one isn't too bad, but he still has that bloody helmet.

Wrath on the other hand is trained similarly to Batman and uses firearms, he's much more like your Deathstroke if you want to expand the character library within your niche.
Comic Vine said Elliot Caldwell shares many similarities with his rival, the Batman: he is a billionaire, has spent unaccounted years abroad before returning to Gotham, and has his own armory much like the Dark Knight's, albeit more lethal variants of Wayne's gear.

Caldwell along with his partner were responsible for killing many of Gotham's police officers but by day he masqueraded as Elliot. D Caldwell, CEO and founder of Caldwell technologies and tried to buy Wayne Enterprises. After Batman defeated Scorn, Caldwell threw him out of his plane due to him disrupting his plans.

Wrath soon faced Batman after he was caught trying to kill a police officer. Wrath was able to use an electrical attack to incapacitate him. While under the guises of Bruce and Elliot, they sparred in a Hand to Hand fight with Bruce being able to defeat him, while giving Alfred time to search the building. However, Elliot knew of his plan all along and was able to use the technology he'd given Gotham Police Department against them and activated electrical attacks within them.

Wrath then went after Batman as he chased him in his plane through the streets of Gotham, forcing Batman to abandon his Bat-Plane to gain more time and caused it to self destruct and him to escape on his Bat-Glider. Alfred after having hacked Caldwell's files revealed to Bruce that Elliot's father had been killed by corrupt Gotham police officers.

Elliot later used his tank to bomb Gotham City Station, he then got out of his tank expecting to find a mass of dead police officers. Instead he found only Batman as Bruce had convinced James Gordon to evacuate the building. Batman in a modified suit similar in style to Wrath's proceeded to beat down Elliot, however, he didn't deliver the finishing blow. He instead allowed the Gotham Police Department to open fire on him and revealed to him that it was James Gordon who brought down the police officers who killed his father and proceeded to knock him out.

While he was in Blackgate Penitentiary, after a visit form James Gordon, Ignatius Ogilvy hints at them working together in the future.


DeathstrokeSW said Does he have a cape?


Yes.
Wrath would be more up your alley and easy to pull off if you ask me.

Okay... I think we're starting to take this a little too seriously. I think I need to walk away from this for a bit.


I'll walk you away, *Shakes Fist*
