General Information

NAME

Kadrick Shelton

PSEUDONYM

Kingslayer

APPEARANCE

Standing at 5'5" and weighting only two hundred pounds...

OCCUPATION

Shelton was a prominent war reporter with ten years of experience under his belt from reporting in several war zones. He got his start in the disgraced Metrochicago with reporting on the Chicago Revolt of 2052 from Midwest News Network. A year after the report, CNN invited him to join the broadcast as a wartime reporter with a decent paycheck to connect. Of course, Shelton accepted the offer and spent five years as the war correspondent while traveling around the world. He has reported on the Third Balkan War, the Isles Revolt, Fall of the EU, and countless other wars and revolts.

But, the one that earned him the nickname of "Kingslayer" was his report on the Mexican Gas Crisis. On 2059, he exposed that both Mexican and American corporations were working with the cartel-run government to gather oil resources for themselves since the world was running out of it. After publishing the story, the National Palace in Mexico City was stormed by angry citizens with weapons. Shortly after, the corpses of President Jonathan Pareja and his family were brought outside to be displayed while the palace was burning in the background. Thus, the Second Mexican Revolution began. And Shelton felt responsible for it.

After leaving behind CNN, Shelton went into freelancing and planned on a living a quiet life in New York City.

Psychological Profile

VIRTUE

Beneficence...

VICE

Doubt...

PERSONAL GOALS

Other than trying to hide from his past, Shelton hoped of maintaining his new job as a freelance writer while reporting the truth. He also wanted an end to the restless nights over the event...

PERSONAL PHILOSOPHY

WIP...

FEARS

Ever since the first assassination attempt on his life, Shelton hasn't been able to get a good night's rest and has to keep an eye open. It is also the reason why people always see him with a weapon in his possession because he isn't afraid to fight back. But, he is afraid of being surrounded by crowds of people with no option to escape or hide. But, he is more afraid of his secrets being revealed to the whole world. At that point, he would rather be dead than live after all of his secrets have been found. Anarchists are hatred by the entire world especially the corporations. Shelton doesn't doubt one second that a few governments and corporations would want his head after learning of his secrets.

NOTES

WIP

Mao Mao's Test & Stash Zone

Diana was stuck with no means of escape or help while the bugs were biting her hands. Even know the bitings were intensifying, she was about to stand her ground until she saw lighting coming out of nowhere. Was it Zeus? Diana expected for the God to appear above her, but another teenager greeted her instead. He managed to take out all of the robotic bugs with ease. "So, uh, never thought I’d meet you like this. I’d imagine an autograph session, not an apocalypse. My name’s Static. You got a plan to take down that Stryfe chump, Wonder Woman?"

Static. Another metahuman with the ability to summon lighting. Diana took a quick look at his outfit and saw the little lighting symbol on his shirt. It wasn't like Supergirl's "S," but it was good enough. Then, she checked on her hands and saw the bite marks. She was amazed at the fact the bots had enough strength to leave marks. However, they didn't prevent her from using them. Diana looked back at Static and replied to his introduction. "I honestly don't know, Static. At the moment, nobody has any idea where Stryfe could be. But, let's deal with the infected below and then we can talk. There's something everyone should know about the tower."

Below them were still infected trying to grab their legs. Diana was going to deal with them by using her lasso, but she had an idea. "Static, can you use your powers to deal with the infected without killing them?"

_{"I'll not rest until there's justice for him."}

James Pierce joined the military after his parents kicked him out at the age of eighteen. He was considered to be great among the rookies during boot camp. His superiors took note of his potential and enrolled him as a test subject in a classified medical experiment. There were rumors that the military was attempting to recreate the original super soldier serum while others said it was something completely different. Regardless, Pierce survived the experiment and became an important intel operator for several years. Then, he fell in love. Another man managed to get his attention and it caused him to retire for his previous life. Before he could leave for good, he had to do one final favor for the government: a hacking job.

It was a simple task and the government upheld their promise. Pierce was able to move forward with his life in the hope of starting a family. That was until a drive-by shooting in board daylight shattered that future. Pierce survived the attack while his lover died in the ambulance. He wanted payback. So with help from an old friend and using his hacker skills, that was when he saw the shooter. After digging around, Pierce found out that the killer was a hired hitman. With the determination to get revenge, James headed towards the murder's hangout.

Only one thing was in his mind: retaliation.

C H A R A C T E R M O T I V A T I O N S & G O A L S:

---

While Frank Castle is the Punisher, I wanted to do a semi-original take on the anti-hero. Based on several movies and a video game, I wanted to craft an interesting story about a former killer for the American government that tried to move beyond that. Unfortunately, his last job for the government was enough to piss off someone powerful. James thought that he had finally earned his freedom. Instead, a gunman shot him and his lover and left them to die. Learning that his lover died while he lived broke him. Now, he wants revenge and answers.

No matter the concept, I always wanted to do a year one Punisher. Take him and develop him into the anti-hero that everyone knows. Yet, add in my own favors. For example, I made him into a hacker. You might be wondering why. It was because I thought it would be a cool addition that made my version stand out for the others. I had several ideas of how that skill could be used before or during combat. It also gave me the chance of exploring hacking and hacker groups in this world of superheroes. Of course, it will be inspired by one of my favorite Ubisoft games Watch_Dogs. Other media that helped inspired me were John Wick, Kill Bill, and The Guest.

Hopefully, I'm given the chance to write the Punisher because he has been on mind since the start of this roleplay.

"I'm sorry, but he died on the way."

That was what the doctor told James Pierce after his surgery. The news left him feeling numb. He had thought that he was going to break down and start crying loudly. Just like in those sappy movies that Cole always watched. Then again, Pierce wasn't normal, unlike his lover. Cole never deserved to be gunned down in broad daylight. He worked hard to achieve a bachelor's degree in English while working. And his friends and family loved and cared about him. In fact, his entire family was at the hospital, grief-stricken over the news. Yet, they still took their time to visit Pierce.

He felt like he didn't deserve vistiors.

Only forty-eight hours since he woke up that the authorities planned on releasing footage of the shooting. Pierce was glued to the small screen waiting for something significant to be revealed. After a lengthy press conference, the footage was shown briefly of Pierce and Cole walking together in the downtown area. He remembered how Cole was so excited to be outside. Then, the murder appeared behind them with a pistol hidden behind him. That was when the fucker's face was shown. Just before he fired several shots at them. Before he killed... Without thinking, Pierce grabbed his phone and took a picture of that scumbag.

Then, he got out of the hospital and started getting undressed. Both the doctor and nurses protested the decision, but nobody was going to prevent him from leaving. Pierce left the hospital without trouble and immediately dialed a number.

<"Hey, I need a favor.">

<"Pierce? Is that you?">

<"Yes, it's me. Look, I need you to look up someone from me. Can you do that?">

<"I thought you were getting married to that fellow down south?">

<"I'm not in the mood, David. I will send you a picture of someone. And you will search for everything about him, got it?">

<"Sounds serious. Let me see how you are doing over there. I heard-">

<"David.">

<"-it's a great place to start a family. After all, it was rated number-">

<"... David?">

<"I didn't know... I'm sorry, James. I.. I will get on it now.">

<"Thanks.">

The call ended with silence for Pierce. David was a good person, but he didn't know when to shut up and listen. On the bright side, it meant that he was going to get his info quicker than usual. But, he had to wait back at home. Pierce spent fifteen minutes walking home alone with his thoughts. Of course, he was trying to make sense of Cole's death. Of all the people in the world, why did it have to be you, Cole? I should have died instead. Nobody would have missed me. Hell, my family never cared. But I will be there for your family, and I will kill your murder. That's a promise.

After walking for an extra few minutes, Pierce looked up and saw the home that Cole wanted to live in. It cost a fortune, but it was worth every cent. A front yard with the white picket fence and the perfect backyard for birthday parties and BBQs during holidays. Better than a cramped apartment. Now, it was a haunting reminder of the future that Pierce will never have. He unlocked the front door and slowly entered the house. The quietness felt out of place. Cole never was the one to enjoy the calm, always planning some kind of party or gathering. And he was good at it.

Pierce sat down on the couch and pulled out his phone. The lock screen was a photo of him and Cole at a friend's dinner party. He already missed him. Once the phone was unlocked, Pierce checked on new messages for friends that were filled with heartfelt condolences. He tried to read every single one of them. But then, David called. Pierce knew that he had found something on the killer and answered without hesitation. He heard some laughter coming from David. Next, he announced much needed good news.

<"Found the fucker.">

Absolute Comics - Season Two: The Monster Within

Hey, everyone. I have been gone for the past three days due to the earthquakes that hit California. Long story short, my house (a mobile home built in the 70s) collapsed during the 7.1 earthquake. Nobody, besides me, was inside the house when it collapsed. Besides being shaken up, I wasn't injured during the shaking. My family was also fine. Once the quakes ended and we settled at my sister's boyfriend's house, I posted small updates to the discord server because I wasn't going to have internet for long. Then, we moved into another mobile home that survived the quakes thanks to its earthquake bracing system. I plan on posting short updates Now with that out of the way, I have an announcement regarding the future on this site.

I have decided to stay on. To be honest, being on here and writing is one of the things that's going help me get through my current situation. So, Wonder Woman is here to stay! I will be catching up on the IC later on this day. So, it feels good to be back.

—OBLIVION.

That was something that Lucas dreamed every single day. He didn't want to be associated with his respected family that everyone in Ritman High knew. Plus, he wanted to have enough strength to conflict his past and say farewell to his hometown forever. That was why he came to Ritman High seven years later. To heal and move on with his future. -

life at ritman high Having a successful brother and sister graduate for Ritman High, Lucas faced pressure for teachers and the principal. His parents had expected that their youngest son was also going to be prosperous. Even the students of Ritman kept an eye on him. However, he failed one AP class in tenth grade. As a result, everyone looked down at him. He knew that everyone was talking about him behind his back. And with problems with his family, he became depressed and anxious for his remaining time in Ritman. In his remaining high school years, Lucas became increasingly unconcerned at school. His parents grew angrier towards him, especially his father. Then the rumors of his sexuality started spreading. Some students thought they saw his profile on a popular dating app, showing to be interested in only guys. Being a religious man, his father dealt with the rumors by sending him to a religious camp for the summer. When summer break was over, Lucas looked more depressed and worried than ever. He started wearing long sleeves and jackets to school every day. It made him the target of another terrible rumor which spread like wildfire. Students thought that Lucas was going to become a school shooter. It caused the school to react immediately by offering Lucas free counseling for his remaining senior year. Despite his parent's protest, he accepted their offer and it helped. Once graduation was over and done, most of the students thought Lucas was going to remain in town with his family. But to the surprise of everyone, he was last seen at the bus station with a suitcase and tears in his eyes. He departed for Massachusetts and nobody heard from him until his sudden arrival in town years later. ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ power Lucas' power was metamorph, meaning that he was able to alter the formation of his biological cells. In order to use his powers, he needed to focus on someone and wait until the transformation happened. It was usually done in a matter of seconds, making it useful to take someone's place. He still didn't know how or why he was granted this power, but it didn't matter. The ability to become someone else was amazing to him. Even though it could seriously mess his mind up. Of course, he didn't know that until it was too late.

For example, he wasn't able to copy a person's powers. His powers don't last longer than a week. And his form disappeared whenever he was knocked out, turning back to his original self. It was able to overwhelm him if he concentrated on multiple people. Also, his skin slowly changed into a bluish color, making him stand out. ►With all of that, the greatest weakness of Lucas' power was that his mind slowly declined. Each use of his shapeshifting powers cost him a little piece of his own mind. -

Rumors spread that Lucas was suppose to be running the business but his father prevented that from happening. Instead, his father decided that his oldest granddaughter was going to run it instead once she finished school. -

psyche Despite being a target of horrible rumors, Lucas liked people and wanted to have plenty of friends. He knew a few of the students at Ritman High, but none of them became his friend. That made him lonely during high school. And with the depression and anxiety, he was dealing with a lot. Moving out of town into the big city made them worse. Being homesick and alone in Boston didn't do any good for his mental health. Of course, it improved once he found a stable job and a big enough apartment. Yet, he wasn't able to move on with his life. That was when he decided to confront it by visiting his hometown for the last time. Lucas' Myers-Briggs scale was INFJ. His archetypes were lover, everyman, and explorer. As for their personality, they cost him a lot of potential friends in high school. The main issue was that he seemed clingy and had too much baggage for a proper friendship. Since graduating from Ritman and leaving town, his personality slightly changed since he didn't want to be seen as a clingy person. Plus, he dealt with a lot of his emotional baggage; but, some of them remained unresolved. And in order to solve them, he had to go back to his hometown. ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

<"Thanks.">

The call ended with silence for Pierce. David was a good person, but he didn't know when to shut up and listen. On the bright side, it meant that he was going to get his info quicker than usual. But, he had to wait back at home. Pierce spent fifteen minutes walking home alone with his thoughts. Of course, he was trying to make sense of Cole's death. Of all the people in the world, why did it have to be you, Cole? I should have died instead. Nobody would have missed me. Hell, my family never cared. But I will be there for your family, and I will kill your murder. That's a promise.

After walking for an extra few minutes, Pierce looked up and saw the home that Cole wanted to live in. It cost a fortune, but it was worth every cent. A front yard with the white picket fence and the perfect backyard for birthday parties and BBQs during holidays. Better than a cramped apartment. Now, it was a haunting reminder of the future that Pierce will never have. He unlocked the front door and slowly entered the house. The quietness felt out of place. Cole never was the one to enjoy the calm, always planning some kind of party or gathering. And he was good at it.

Pierce sat down on the couch and pulled out his phone. The lock screen was a photo of him and Cole at a friend's dinner party. He already missed him. Once the phone was unlocked, Pierce checked on new messages for friends that were filled with heartfelt condolences. He tried to read every single one of them. But then, David called. Pierce knew that he had found something on the killer and answered without hesitation. He heard some laughter coming from David. Next, he announced much needed good news.

<"Found the fucker.">
