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

That was what the doctor told James Pierce after the emergency 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 him. Cole didn't deserve to be gunned down in broad daylight. He spent part of his life to earn his bachelor's degree in English. And he had family and friends that loved and cared for him. Pierce knew he didn't. His family cut all ties after kicking him out. Most of his military friends have either died or vanished for his life. And the only person that ever loved him was murdered.

It should have been me.

The thoughts worsened when Cole's entire family visited James despite being grief-stricken. His mother, Diana, was grateful that he was alive even known her son was gone. His siblings brought a card and flowers for his "speedy recovery." Then, his friends came by with the same things to express condolences. The visits made Pierce hate himself even more. All of them were heartbroken and devastated over Cole's death. And yet, they still took their time to visit Pierce. He didn't deserve them.

I should have died.

Forty-eight hours after being admitted to the hospital, the authorities visited Pierce for details of the drive-by. He tried to explain every single detail that he saw, heard, and felt. But his emotions got him. A day later, the news showed footage of the shooting in the hopes of finding the gunman. Pierce thought of turning the television off but kept watching instead. The footage showed him and Cole walking together during the day. He remembered parts of their last conversation and how it was cheerful. That was always Cole. Then, the car appeared in fame as the back window was going down. The footage was paused before...

Suddenly, Pierce realized that part of the car's license plate was visible. Of course, it was blurred out by the news station. And the authorities will never release the footage to the public. He turned off the television and planned on getting some sleep. The same officers came to visit two days to inform him and Cole's family (who came to visit again) that the car was found torn apart in a scrapyard. He knew what was going to happen and asked bluntly, "Is it going to be another cold case?"

The officers didn't answer and looked away ashamed. That made him angry.

A week passed since the shooting, and the authorities stopped visiting him. Pierce looked at his phone on the table and hesitated to grab it. He knew that calling him meant going back to the life he tried to leave behind. But he thought of Cole and the brief moments after the shooting occurred again and again. He had to do it. For Cole. Pierce picked up the phone and dialed a number. It took a few seconds, but a familiar voice greeted him.

<"Cole?">

<"Hey... I need a favor for you.">

<"I can't believe you're calling me, man!">

<"Yeah, me either. Look, I need you to-">

<"It's been a while since we met. I thought it was the last time that I will ever see you.">

<"I am not in the mood, David. Can you help me or not?">

<"You sound more serious than usual. Wait for a second! Does this have to do with your boy toy?">

<"David.">

<"Are you calling me to invite me to be your best man?">

<"David.">

<"I am truly honored if that's the case. Does Cole like strippers? I was thinking of doing the whole cake thing-">

<"Please stop...">

<"-with the stripper and the candles-">

<"Stop. Talking. David. I am not-">

<"-Wait! What kind of cake does he like? I am honestly hoping chocolate, but it's up to-">

<"DAVID, COLE'S FUCKING DEAD! IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT TYPE OF CAKE HE LIKES. OR IF HE LIKES STRIPPERS. OR THE WEDDING. NONE OF THAT FUCKING MATTERS ANYMORE! JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP FOR A MINUTE, OKAY?!">

<"...">

<"...David.. fuck, look, I am-">

<"No... I-I am so sorry, James. I didn't know. Should've just kept my big mouth shut... [Sighs] What do you need to be done?"

<"...The authorities have footage of the incident, and I know that the car's license plate is visible. I need you to hack into the department and find Cole's killer. Can I count on you?">

<"Yeah... I will get on it immediately. Call you back once I have it. Bye.">

<"David, wait, I'm-">

The call ended before Pierce could apologize for the outburst. David was a good person and terrific hacker, but he didn't know when to shut up and listen. At least, he was helping to catch the killer. Pierce ended up placing his phone back on the table and going to sleep. He was thinking of Cole.

Of all the people in the world, why did it have to be you, Cole? You were the only good thing in my life. Now... I will be there for your family. And I will find your murder and make him suffer for an eternity. That is a promise.

The recovery process took three additional weeks before Pierce was healthy enough to leave the hospital. David said that he was going to take him home. Home. It cost him and Cole a fortune to buy, but it was worth every cent. An ideal neighborhood with amazing and kind neighbors. A perfect backyard for parties and BBQs during holidays. Better than the old cramped apartment. Now, it was going to forever be a haunting reminder of the future that Pierce will never have. A nurse greeted him with a stack of papers to sign and a wheelchair.

David was waiting outside by his van and walked towards James, who was getting up from the wheelchair. He greeted the former hacker with a light handshake. There was a sense of relief that he wasn't trapped in that hospital anymore. But he immediately noticed that David was quieter than usual. Both men entered the van, and James saw a sightly damaged license plate with a sticky note attached to it on top of the dashboard. And for the first time since seeing each other, David talked.

"Found the fucker."

_{"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. In contrast, others said it was something completely different. Regardless, Pierce survived the experiment and became a vital intel operator for the American government. Then, he fell in love. Another man managed to get his attention, and it caused him to want retirement.

Before being allowed to retire, the government required him to complete one final job: clean-up.

It was a simple job, and the government upheld their promise. Pierce was able to move forward with his life with Cole. Two years later, that future was shattered by a board daylight drive-by shooting. Pierce survived the attack while Cole died inside the ambulance. He was in mourning. And when the police were able to do nothing, he took it upon his hands. With help from an old hacker friend, David, and the drive to get payback, he was able to find the owner of the car in the scene. With the determination to get revenge, Pierce headed towards the hangout.

Only one thing was in his mind: retaliation.

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.

Without spoiling everything, the story will be dealing with mature content from violence/gore to trafficking. And it will also have serious and dark themes. I thought that I'd at least warn you guys in case you are sensitive with the contents and/or the themes.

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝗨𝗡𝗜𝗦𝗛𝗘𝗥

Bars were always one of many worksites for James Pierce to do whatever the American government required. Either to listen to essential conversations, steal something from the target, or even charm them. It didn't matter what you did as long as you did the job. However, that life was over for Pierce. Instead, he was at the bar to celebrate New Year's Eve with his fiance, Cole. It was only recently that Pierce washed his hands with the government. Now, however, life was still young for him.

Pierce watched the television with only a few minutes before the ball dropped in Times Square. He didn't believe that the year -and the decade- was coming to a close. It made him reflect on everything that happened in his life. Joining the military, being subjected to experiments, working for the government, and meeting Cole. It was a rather interesting decade.

"Helloo~" Cole sang out drunkenly to his fiance. "It's almost time~."

Pierce couldn't help but smile at Cole as the crowd started counting down. Life did work in mysterious ways for someone like him. He held his lover's hand tightly, with only ten seconds left. Even with so much sin, Pierce knew that he might have found peace. While the crowd started celebrating the new decade, Pierce and Cole kissed each other to ring in the new year.

"Happy New Year, hon."

"I love you so much." Pierce proclaimed.

"I love you too."

^{"Love, that spark of light within man, can save the world.
I will always fight against hate, that darkness within us, for a world I know possible." - November 1991}

Princess Diana of Themyscira, daughter of Queen Hippolyta, was created with clay from Paradise Island and given life thanks to Zeus. Then, she was granted six gifts from the Gods themselves: strength, wisdom, courage, compassion, speed, and flight. Antiope, general of the Amazons, oversaw her training and gave her the tools to survive and fight another day. Her mother taught her everything else, from language to history. She felt content about her life until she learned about Humanity. As the years passed by, Diana grew more curious about humans with every report.

One day, she overheard Antiope and her mother arguing about the doom facing mankind. A great war that will forever change them -for better or worse. Diana tried to make a case that the Amazons should save them. Hippolyta forbade her for speaking about the topic while Antiope watched proudly.

So, she decided to disobey her mother and leave for Man's World. While packing up for the long trip, Antiope knew what she was planning to do and decided to help. Both of them went to the island's only tower and stole the Amazonian battle armor, Amazonian sword, and Themysciran shield. They made their way to the docks, where Hippolyta was waiting for them. She had the Lasso of Hestia and the Bracelets of Aphrodite. Yet, she warned that leaving the island meant exile. With the heart of compassion, Diana made the ultimate sacrifice and got ready to leave.

Before she left, Hippolyta gave her own tiara before saying her goodbyes. Antiope gifted her Achilles' bow for her best student to use in combat. Diana bid farewell and set sail for Man's World. After a few days of traveling, she found her on the coast of France. Steve Trevor, a British-American spymaster, stumbled upon her while on break. Diana told him that she wanted to save mankind from the Great War. But she arrived too late. Steve dismissed her as suffering for heat exhaustion until he was ambushed by assassins.

Diana managed to block a bullet with her bracelets and overwhelmed the threat in seconds. It left Trevor speechless and asked to come and join his task force. She agreed on the idea to end the Great War before it was too late. Together, they took down down high ranking officers from the Central Powers and neutralized Doctor Poison and her poison gas factories. And saved villages from total destruction. Her deeds got the attention of the press, who started naming her: Wonder Woman. Once the war ended, Trevor offered to take Diana on a private tour of Europe and North America.

Unfortunately, they were unable to travel to America before the Nazi threat rose. Hydra and its leader, Red Skull, were also a significant threat once the Second World War began. However, she wasn't alone in the fight. Other superheroes joined in the effort to stop Nazism and defeat Hydra. It included Captain America and other heroes. Despite their efforts, the war proved to be worst than the first in terms of destruction and death. Both sides were bombing cities and killing innocents. Then, Hiroshima and Nagasaki happened. Diana became the first influential critic against nuclear bombs and denounced the bombings. It led her to be labeled as a communist traitor by the American government during the Second Red Scare.

Regardless, she persisted. Diana and Steve got married and moved to Britain. Together, they founded the World Veterans Federation to promote the well-being of veterans, victims of war, and peace worldwide. WVF rose to fame during the Cold War thanks to Wonder Woman repeated calls for the disarmament of nuclear weapons, especially after the Cuban Missile Crisis. Steve Trevor died in 1978 in his sleep. And Wonder Woman wasn't seen fighting bad guys as often. Instead, Diana Prince rose up and became more politically active while promoting her image and WVF across the world.

Wonder Woman made a return after 9/11 to maintain order and peace across the world. Then, Stryfe and his Mutant Liberation Front unleashed chaos. He had managed to frame her for the entire attack before being executed by her former friend, Captain America. After the attack, America went after Wonder Woman and launched a series of investigations. After months of fighting, her innocence was proven, but the damage was already done. To set an example for other heroes, the government ordered Diana to officially retire Wonder Woman. In turn, she was able to remain a free individual with regular check-ins.

With no other options, Diana hesitantly agreed and moved everything to the East Coast. Diana Prince was ready to rebuild. One year later, it seemed like almost everything about her life was back to a sense of normality.

Diana Prince spent a hundred years fighting for humanity from The Great War to the War on Terror. She was already tired of fighting and the suffering it brings. Now with the Stryfe attacks and being blamed for it, she was truly done. Even if the government didn't order Wonder Woman's retirement, she would have thrown the towel regardless. And with a year passing since the incident, she embraced the role of a multi-billionaire along with political activist, retiree, and other things. It's an interesting next step in her life. Inspired by several dozen drama shows and movies. Still gonna focus on the politics and business of the world.

I will say that some aspects of season one are void. Like the entire Aladdin arc. But everything else from the committee to Stryfe arc is canon. Ask me for details and I'll answer. And I will be taking control of Donna Troy (and Hawkeye). Why? For no reason whatsoever. Totally...

While everyone was either trying to make use of the tablet legs or searching for supplies, Jaden was still eager to get out of the school. Especially with the death of their best friend on mind. They were unable to completely understand what truly happened during the stampede. But the one thing that was impossible to forget was the scream. Jaden wanted to cry and yell to the heavens; yet, they knew that doing so would have brought more trouble. So they kept their mouth shut. Until, one of the theater kids, Alex, suggested the dumb idea of staying at the school. Jaden cringed at the idea and decided to keep their mouth shut for now.

While everyone was planning their next move, Jaden was already set on getting to his vehicle. It was the golden ticket out of here. They went to sit on the ground while others were introducing themselves and discussing the next move. Then, he saw the flask from one of their classmates. The thought of alcohol usually disgusted them. But reflecting on the entire situation...

Fuck it.

Jaden stood up while someone was calling them idiots and walked towards the flask. They grabbed it and took a sip to calm their nerves. It didn't taste as bad as they were told. But it was a little warm to his liking. They paid little attention to the argument. But they assumed that everyone was planning on spending the night here. That was a dumb idea but a perfect opportunity to finally say something.

Jaden chuckled and made their way towards the rest of the group.

"Actually, I have a better plan that doesn't involve dying."

Jaden pulled out his car keys and shook them. "Six of us get to my car and leave this hellhole. It's just sitting in the parking lot with a decent tank of gas. Anyone that doesn't want to spend the night here is more than welcome to follow me."

^{Teacher's Lounge // Stockbridge Academy}

Jaden Knapp was the last student to enter the teacher's lounge with a crowd of classmates behind them. They were close to the incident where the PE teacher was attacked and murdered by a student. Several students nearby, including Jaden, watched as the small freshman managed to overpower Mr. Roberts in a matter of seconds. Another teacher, Mr. Stewart, called out for help while getting the students to safety. He was standing near Jaden when he was also attacked by the same student. They were accidentally shoved to the ground, hitting their head on the gym floor. A student yelled out zombie, and panic ensued. Everything else that happened afterward was a blur to Jaden.

One of their friends, Maisie Brown, helped them up and tried to escort them out of the gym. But she was overwhelmed by the stampede. Jaden tried to look for her, but the frightened crowd made finding her impossible. Her scream of agony was the last thing they heard. Things became more evident once they found themself in the hallway. Almost everyone had the same plan: get the fuck outside and leave. They were going to do the same thing until the entrance became too crowded. And with a group of inflected behind them, Jaden decided to run in a random direction.

Thankfully, they saw some classmates entering the teacher's lounge. And the rest was history.

The first few minutes were spent treating the bump on their head. But the images of Stewart and Roberts being murdered were already too much. Their best friend's death scream. And the fact that the entire school became a death trap was enough to break someone. And that was what happened. Jaden went to the corner, sat down and hugged their legs, and started to quietly sob. That was how they spent thirteen minutes, trying to process everything. Then they heard Fitz asking if someone had a plan. A plan on getting out of this room.

That was when Jaden remembered the SUV that they brought after getting their driver's license. They finally got up from the ground and headed towards the sink for some water. They needed some water badly. After taking a few long sips and turning off the faucet, Jaden turned towards Fitz and got her attention. "I-I still have keys to my SUV. It's just in the parking lot, we can get out of... But wait, it can only fit six people, including me. There... are too many people here. And the main entrance was too crowded for me to leave..."

Jaden leaned against the counter and realized that they were indeed stuck in this small room with ten other people. They looked around and chuckled as they started to cry again. "We're fucked, aren't we?"

"You're thinking of staying in this hellhole?!" Jaden turned towards one of the drama kids, Alex, and asked in shock. "No, I am not partaking in this madness."

Then, they turned towards the only exit out of this room and walked towards it. It was a simple barricade that could easily be torn apart. Jaden turned towards the group and proclaimed, "I want to leave not stay here and get eaten alive!"

That was when they started taking down the barricade, trying to take it apart in panic. But it proved to be more difficult than expected. Whoever arranged it did an excellent job. Regardless, they kept on trying to solve the puzzle until they managed to pull a chair out of it. Jaden tossed it aside and kept on going for it with one thing on their mind: getting as far as possible from the school. Maybe head back home and see if their mother was still alive. Or just get somewhere safe and wait until help arrived.

Jaden Knapp

_{18 - Gemini - Senior - 5'6" - Cole Sprouse}

“It feels like we all are in a hellish nightmare... but the bloodstain in my jacket tells me otherwise.”

---

Appearance Details

Jaden's green eyes caught most people's attention compared to the rest of his appearance (besides the jacket). Thankfully, everything else was average including the blonde hair. As for their lack of workout routine, it wasn't ideal but it was enough to pass physical ed. Regarding their attire, Jaden spent the cold winter months wearing long sleeves, jeans, and boots. And to complete the outfit, the iconic green jacket that they took from their mother years ago instead of buying one. Now, there was a bloodstain on it from the incident in the gym.

Characterization

Their life consisted of moving state to state due to the lack of stability in the family. A messy divorce and sudden unemployment caused their mother to take her only child and move to the nearest state. It was the reason why Jaden didn't interact with other classmates as often as a child should. However, Michigan was different compared to the other states. Their mother found love with her current boyfriend, a military contractor, and a stable job for the first time in years. Jaden was still cautious about making friends during middle school. Yet as weeks became months, they opened themselves up to fellow classmates.

In high school, Jaden fell in love with the Writers Ink Club at the start of the ninth grade. Writing was one of their favorite hobbies to do. But they didn't share their works with other members. They were secretive about it but offered help to other classmates struggling with their essays. It was quite easy to make them feel sympathetic toward others. That was one of Jaden's weaknesses besides grappling with their own sexuality.

They joined the GSA club in eleventh grade to find answers and feel accepted. Of course, there was still some self-hate and depression. But it was slowly being clipped away. Until the world came crashing down.

Inventory

- A smartphone with a wallet case holding their identification card.
- A bag containing school supplies, phone changer, snacks, and a stainless steel water bottle.
