[Denied] Jedi Knight Korrsh

OoC

How long do you usually write?:
Usually Several paragraphs, but it can be longer or shorter, depending on the situation. Generally, my post length is whatever i feel it needs to be in order to get the message across.
Do you enjoy writing collaborative posts for things like conversations, combat, etc.?
Generally, i enjoy writing conversations. Combat is also fun, but my favourite form of writing combat is on the losing side, as i find the paniced thoughts and involuntary bodily actions of someone on the losing side to be a fun thing to write about.
Is grammar and depth of writing important to you?
It is to an extent, but i tend not to always make sure every post is immaculate.
Are there any writing subjects you particularly enjoy exploring?
Generally, creative writing... I mean, i don't particularly understand the question
Is there anything you really dislike and want to avoid like the plague?
Death Troopers. I fucking hate them in Star Wars, they are the absolute stupidest fucking thing ever put into the genre "What if we throw Zombies at Han Solo?" is really scraping the bottom of the barrel.
Is there something you are uncomfortable with happening to your character?
Nothing specifically. I'm fine with anything that advances his character.
Do you have any short-term or long-term goals with this character?
Yes, the long term plans for him are quite extensive. Essentially, the key plot-points will be as follows:

Spoilers

*Korrsh has a number of back-alley treaties with the scoundrels and rogues of Coruscant. During one of his missions, he hands over just a little too much.
*This overextension of Korrsh's grip allows one of the gangs to go on the offensive against another, pushing into their territory. When Korrsh and his Apprentice go in to stop the fighting, his Apprentice is killed.
*Korrsh's involvement in the matter is found out and he is sentenced to Exile from the Jedi Order.
*Going underground, Korrsh hires an old bounty-hunter friend of his to help him fake his own death, before he returns to Nar Shaddaa.
*Arriving, he quickly uses his affinity with The Force to overpower and oust one of the local crime-lords, before inserting himself into the local power scene in his position
*He goes out looking for force sensitives and is able to soon find a few and recruit them into his fold.

Jedi Temple Internal Records

_{Detailed appearance. Imagery insufficient.}

Korrsh is a typical Hutt, 6'2 tall and 14' long, his skin is an off-grey, with a green underbelly. His eyes are large, amber orbs, full of great intelligence and wisdom, He wears a beige robe over his form, with a brown cloak that stretches from his head, down to the base of his tail. Hutts are not known for their mobility, but to remedy this, he is equipped with "Mobility Legs" Spider-like legs that run down his tail and allow him to keep up with other Jedi. His lightsaber, that is always on his belt, is an electrum-plated Lightsaber with a slightly longer handle in order to accommodate his large hands.

_{Report on natural ability with the Force, as well as all known Force Techniques and the skill level.}

Korrsh's alliance with the Force is his greatest strength. He has a natural affinity with the Force's ability to manipulate the minds of others. He uses this to remain inconspicuous. Even in the crowded streets of Coruscant, he's able to remain completely anonymous and unnoticed. Not invisible, but unregistered. He is a master of interrogation, able to pull the thoughts from some of the most hardened mens lips, make them dance to his song. He is also known to use this ability for offensive uses, forcing aggressors to fight shadows. Convincing them that all of their worst nightmares have come to kill them.

This ability to influence others minds might also explain why he has such an ability to influence the programing of Droids. Korrsh likes droids, their ability to survive, to be programmed to perform any task given to them and an inability to corrupt them using such things as promises of power and wealth. He, however, can use his control over the force to overload their central systems and shut them down. Simple droids, on the otherhand, he can use the force to forcibly activate subroutines that will make them docile and compliant. In more advanced combat units, those subroutines are far more complex and the extent of this power can be used to distort their ability to precisely target.

Like all Jedi, he was trained with telekinesis. Although his legs allow him to move with the speed of a bipedal, he is not even nearly as dextrous. To allow himself to combat far more agile foes, he has perfected a technique that allows him to wield his lightsaber using The Force as if it were his own hands. He has mastered the technique with a single lightsaber, but is currently working on the ability to use a second as well. His ability with Telekinesis has also given him the ability to lift himself to help him reach higher area's.

His current efforts, in as far as his ability to use the force is concerned, is the ability of Precognition. He is currently trying to see into the future. He is so far able to get small twinges when in immediate danger, but nothing as elaborate as some of the masters who can see whole events days before they happen.

_{Report on skills not directly rooted in the Force, including level of skill}

Like all Hutts, Korrsh has a large and complex brain, this brain allows him to perform mathmatics and problem solving immensely faster than others. Some have told him that, had he not been a Jedi, he would have made a great businessman. This also extends to him being a great tactician, he has been known for coming up with great battle-plans when it comes to crackdowns on gang-hives and Black Market raids.

He is also an excellent diplomat. Even though his mind-affecting force abilities are immensely powerful, he also has the charisma to convince others as well. Korrsh has sat in on many a territorial dispute among families and factions within the Republic, able to mediate with great wisdom.

_{Report on known combat experience, training and lightsaber training.}

Like all Jedi, he is well trained in Form I: Shii Cho, due to all younglings being trained with this stance. Due to his fluentness with this form, he favours this when using his telekinetic Lightsaber fighting.

Of course, due to being a very large target, he quickly learned to favour the form Form III: Soresu, due to its defensive properties. When he first draws his saber, he will go for this first to secure his position, before deciding how to proceed. He does consider himself quite the master of this form.

After "Mastering" Soresu, he has started to properly expand his horizons by beginning to learn Form V: Shien / Djem So, which is a natural progression, due to its similarities to Soresu, however, is a more offensive variant. Usually he will transition from Soresu into Djem So after the fight has started in earnest.

_{Detailed notes on political influence and associates.}

The Jedi order has always had a love/hate relationship with the Hutt Gangsters. Mainly because they are two orginizations that cannot really hurt each other. The Jedi have no jurisdiction in Hutt Territory and the Hutts like it that way. The Hutts only ever talk cleanly to their own kind, which almost immediately pegged Korrsh as the key diplomat for whenever the Jedi Council need to contact the Hutts. Korrsh has a lot of contacts in the Hutt Cartels and has spoken before the grand council on more than one occasion.

_{Detailed notes on known rivals and enemies, outside and within the Order and Republic.}

He has an affinity for making friends. Enemies are useless to him. However, he does rarely see eye-to-eye with the Grand Master.

_{List and description of other known associates, including intimates.}

Korrsh's main beats are Corscant and Nar-Shaddaa He has the following contacts:
Gloorak (Rodian member of the "Cannock Crawlers" swoop gang in the Coruscant undercity)
Matrika Poondok (A Cyborg Mon Calamari Bounty-Hunter on Nar-Shaddaa)
Inuel Kai and Renny (A Talortai and Human pair of scoundrels who constantly tip-toe around the law and perform any and every job imaginable.)
Kolkar (A Kyuzo Mercenary who works for whoever will pay him. Korrsh usually hires him as back-up on missions on Nar-Shaddaa.)
Runtak (A Gand Crime-Lord in the Coruscant undercity. Korrsh helps him to expand his territory in return for information)

_{List of all known ownerships, including vessels, (non-standard) equipment, and locations.}

Sleepy Rancor (A Starscape-II-class Freighter. An upgraded version of the old Yachts, in that it sacrifices a lot of its comforts, in return for storage space. Although he doesn't technically own it, as it legally belongs to Inuel and Renny. He does, however, own it as a form of collateral, since it is his money that actually commissioned it, built it and keeps it flying, Inuel and Renny just use it for their purposes, as well as performing missions for him.)
Jewel of Coruscant (The Jewel is a Defender-class light-corvette that he owns and is his official craft that he uses to get from place to place. Although he isn't a very good pilot, he uses Enty to chauffeur him.)
NT-302 "Enty" (Enty is a customised droid built by Korrsh in order to be a Catch-all companion. Enty is an excellent pilot and air-combattant, as well as having access to the Holonet to keep a track on his allies movements, as well as for making quick contact with his informants and his bank accounts. He was originally built by Korrsh to assist in his training of Talisha, who wished to become a Jedi Ace, but has evolved over time.)

_{Psychological evaluation of Jedi Order member.}

Korrsh is an enigma. Although it is always a welcome sight to see a member of the Jedi Order that is of an... Uncommon background... It is slightly unsettling. Hutts have a very specific talent that they seem to have evolved over their history and that talent is crime. Korrsh seems to know how it works and how to make it work for him, which is not always a bad thing. The Jedi Order is pledged to keep peace in the galaxy, but they are also pledged to be realistic and sometimes crime and peace have to coexist. He seems friendly towards everyone that he meets, but there is always an heir of dishonesty behind that initial amiability.

Korrsh is not believed to be any real liability to the Jedi Order, after all, he has trained multiple Padawans to Knighthood, but he has always skirted that line of the law and many, the Grand Master included, believe that he will, one day, go to far.

_{List and description of known and suspected flaws. To be put into restricted database.}

Being a Hutt, Korrsh has sever mobility issues if he is without his cybornetic legs, they are most certainly his weakness, cutting them off will leave him able to move at, pun intended, a slugs pace.

His other flaws in his methods. Many of his means of bringing in criminals are what the rest of the council deem as "Skirting on the side of outright illegal" The Jedi have always been ones for their many codes of conduct and Korrsh seems to be pre-desposed to breaking them or, at least, bending them to the point that they are starting to crack. This has earned him the ire of most of the council. But he is a man that believes that the ends, almost, always justify the means.

This way of thinking is why he is one of the longest serving knights that has never been given the title of Master, despite having trained many students that have gone on to become Masters.

_{known interests of the force-user.}

Korrsh has very little in the way of actually known interests. It is known that he very much enjoys watching Pod Racing on Malastare. His other main interest is reading. After spending 20 years as an archivist, he has become quite fond of reading about the histories and sciences catalogued within the archives.

_{Major achievements on record.}

Securing safe use of Hyperspace lanes through Hutt space for Republic Forces.
Clearing out multiple notorious gangs in the lower city, including the Black Riders, Mynock Squadron, The Uscru Pirates, The Hyperspace Angels and, recently, even a notorious Hutt by the name of Galdradi.
Training many Padawans to Knighthood.

_{Major failures on record. Confidential.}

The Corellia Incident.
Abandoning his post during the Sith Sacking of the Jedi Temple.
Failing to prevent Luke Brunside's fall to the Dark Side.

Interview

_{Personal biography, as detailed by the candidate for use in Jedi archives. Acquired shortly after last achievement of note.}

Interviewer: "Good day, Master. I'm glad you could take time out of your busy day to answer some questions for this interview."
Korrsh: "It's my pleasure. I hope you do not mind Talisha's presence."
Interviewer: "Not at all, i'm also surprised to hear you talking Basic."
Korrsh: "Yes, it is odd. In my peoples culture, it is seen as a great dishonour to speak in a language other than Huttese. But the Jedi are my people, I speak your language in order to show respect. Other Hutts refuse to speak your language in order to demand your respect. They see Huttese as "A language so beautiful, that to sully ones tongue with another language diminishes us." *Chuckles*
Interviewer: "Indeed... So, tell me about your early life."
Korrsh: "Well, what is there to tell? I was raised within these very walls. I lead a surprisingly unremarkable life as a Jedi, despite being the only one of my kind here, or at least, no more remarkable than any other long-lived species Jedi."
Interviewer: "So, how did you get brought here?"
Korrsh: "Father thought he was untouchable by the Cartell's. He was wrong. His right hand, a Devaronian by the name of Fimbalt brought me to Coruscant, to be raised by Father's old friend Galdradi, but before he could meet, he was stopped at customs and was brought for questioning. That is when Master Plots found me."
Interviewer: "Master Plots?"
Korrsh: "Yes, Ludo Plots, an Ugnaught. He sensed my latent potential and brought me to the Temple to be raised. Fimbalt was wanted for murder. Most of the Jedi, at the time, didn't want someone like me to be brought into the Jedi. Master Plots faught hard to get me instated as a Youngling"
Interviewer: "So, if it hadn't been for Plots, you may never have become a Jedi."
Korrsh: "Not at all. You need to remember that this is shortly after the end of the Civil War. The Jedi order was broken, fractured. It there was no option for bigotry."
Interviewer: "So, there's Bigotry within the order?"
Korrsh: "Do not twist my words. What i meant was that we all make judgements based on race. Not always bad judgements, but judgements nonetheless."
Interviewer: "My apologies."
Korrsh: "Anyway, i spent the next 10 years as a youngling, before finally being given my Padawanship. Master Plots was... A tough master. He had me perform many a... Demeaning task..."
Talisha: "Like when you get me to scrub the urinals?"
Korrsh: "I wish. Master Plots had me haul computer consoles from the bottom floor to the hangar, without use of the force or any technology." *He sighed, staring at his arms, before pulling the flaps of skin dangling from it.* "I actually became quite muscular at the time. 2 centuries have not been the kindest to me... Anyway, Master Plots trained me to be the man i am today. We fought some pirates, droids, gangsters and... Well, we parted ways. Master Plots had other padawans to train, i had my own Padawans to train."
Interviewer: "Yes, tell us about your Padawans. I have heard you pride yourself on your abilities as a teacher."
Korrsh: "Pride is a path to the Dark Side. But yes, i do feel proud of my Padawans. So, my very first Padawan was just after Master Plots had taken on a new Padawan of his own. I needed either a mind to mold me or a mind i could mold myself... Undrik was such a bright boy. He was always trying to tell me how the code worked. I swear he had the entire thing burned into the inside of his eyelids. I like to think of Brant as my success, but in all honesty, he pretty much taught himself. He was so driven. He became one of the most brilliant minds the Order had and one of the key reasons it was able to get back onto its feet after the Civil War. Vuka was next, by the force i swear i rarely understood a thing that boy said. I am fluent in Trade-Speak, but he was always talking so fast. I think half of the things i said to him in those first 6 years was "Wait, slow down and annunciate" Almost as bad as you are when we start talking about Starships." *He pets Talisha on the head*
Talisha: "I just want to make sure that i know everything. I plan to pursue a path as a Jedi Ace."
Korrsh: "Vuka grew into a fine knight who always had an interesting set of students. His first was a Wookiee, then a Karkarodon, a Lasat... He seemed to have a thing for students that would become big. Maybe he had a short-man's complex... Anyway, after Vuka was off on his own, i had Luke. He was a little older than i was used to, he was immensely powerful in the ways of the force. The order found him in the burned out wreckage of a crashed freighter. His connection to the force was... Too powerful. I trained him as best as i could and he was right on track to becoming a fine knight... Then the incident..."
Interviewer: "Would this be the Corellia Incident?"
Korrsh: "Yes..." *Korrsh's eyes frowned*
Interviewer: "If you do not wish to discuss it, we can-"
Korrsh: "No... I have come to terms with the Corellia Incident. It was shortly after Brant had been granted the rank of Master, after Vuka took on his first apprentice. I was reunited with Masters Plots and Brant for the first time in a while. We had received word of a Dark Force-user on Corellia and the 3 of us went to check it out. I brought Luke with me. I thought that, by showing him the dangers of the dark side of the force, he may be persuaded to never go there. It worked on me with Master Plots, it worked on Brant, it even worked on Jiktu... When we were confronted by the man... It wasn't a Dark Force User... It was a Sith Lord and a powerful one at that. Called himself "Darth Karanus" The three of us did what we could, even the Padawans tried to assist, ambushing him as we fought through the streets of Coronet. All that i remember about him was... That mask. That cold, dead mask. Like peering into a wound in the universe itself... Brant was the first to fall, lost his legs and an arm to that thing. He destroyed my mechanical legs and i was unable to keep up without them. Master Plots rushed off ahead as he, his padawan and Luke chased them. By the time i got there, all i found of Master Plots was his cloak, his padawan was dead, slumped over it and i saw Luke with his Lightsaber through the monster's throat. I tried to get in, but as the beast died, it brought the entire building down around us. I was barely able to get out."
Interviewer: "And Luke?"
Korrsh: "Luke was trapped in the rubble. It took us 3 days to dig him out. When we did... He was different. He was quiet. It was amazing, he had just killed a Sith Lord, i thought he would go on to do great things. I completely missed the thing that was growing inside of him. We never found Master Plots' body. But we burned his Padawan. After that, i went back to training Luke. We had a few more run-ins with pirates and the like, but he was far more brutal this time. I saw him... Almost torturing them... I could see he was enjoying it. I took him back to the temple, put him in the meditation chambers and went to the council. When we came back, he had escaped the temple. We decided that he needed to stand trial. I helped them to bring him in. We chased him through the underlevels of Coruscant... That's when we found him, he had constructed a crude version of that mask that Karanus had worn. He was powerful, far more powerful than any fallen Jedi i had ever fought, but he was no match for the Jedi Masters. He wouldn't be brought in alive."
Interviewer: "You killed him trying to capture him?"
Korrsh: "No, we successfully subdued him, but as we began to transport him back, he reached out with the force and willingly ended his own life. He looked at me with an insane fervor, the likes of which i have never seen, then with a flick of his tongue... He was gone. Autopsy says that his spinal-column was severed and his brains synapses had been... Popped for a better word. All of them at once..."
Interviewer: "That's..."
Korrsh: "My fault. I should have had him brought before the council before he had gone that far. The Council agreed. I spent the next 20 years cataloging the archives before i was allowed to train another student. Moktus was exactly what i needed. Young, bright and eager to please. He was a hugger... I had to ween him off of those slowly. Moktus grew into a hell of a Knight, so sure of himself. He was one of the best pilots in the order. And his way with words. I have NEVER heard a man able to sway so many with his words. I saw him bring many a foe to justice without even igniting his blade... It was a pity that he left the order just before he was due to be made a Master."
Interviewer: "He left?"
Korrsh: "Yes, he said that he appreciated the order and everything that it had done for him, but he decided to go into Politics. He became the representative for the Rodians in the Republic Forum. We remained good friends till 3 years ago when he finally passed away from his ripe old age. He was a true success."
Interviewer: "Are any of your former Padawans still alive?"
Korrsh: "Why, yes. Master Mina was a former student of mine... We, sadly, never got along that great. I took over her training after the death of Master Oprak and i don't think she ever adjusted to the change. He was VERY strict with her and she distrusted me greatly because my style was far more laid-back. She began to loosen up a little near the end, but it was a grueling 5 years training her into a Knight. She recently made it onto the Council."
Interviewer: "So, why aren't you a Master, surely you have so many success stories that you should be recognized as a master?"
Korrsh: "There are many... MANY reasons, but those are my secrets to keep."
Interviewer: "Very well. Any other Students?"
Korrsh: "Sadly, apart from Talisha here, the only other student of mine that still walks this plane is Kegresh. A Bothan, he is currently out on the frontier, helping the Republic forces in their war with the Empire, he has his first padawan in tow. I can't say anymore about him, though, for obvious reasons."
Interviewer: "I understand. You're other main mark on your career would be the Sacking of the Temple. It says that you abandoned your post."
Korrsh: "That was a... Misunderstanding on behalf of the council. I was on the planet at the time, following a lead on a case that i was working on, i saw the shuttle coming down at heading for the temple and saw the smoke, but by the time i returned, it was too late."
Interviewer: "So, why does it say that you abandoned your post?"
Korrsh: "I was supposed to be giving the younglings a training session, when the attack happened... I was also not supposed to be working on the case, as the Council had removed me from the investigation due to... Unfortunate circumstances. As such, they slapped me with a "Dereliction of Duty" charge."
Interviewer: "Very interesting. So, you are fresh off of your latest victory against Galdradi The Hutt?"
Korrsh: "Yes, Galdradi... It is a shame, in another life, he was to be my mentor. He first caught the attention of the Jedi Temple when they found me after an attempted assassination against me. When i became a Knight, i hunted down Galdradi, used him as a contact to get in touch with the Grand Hutt Council."
Interviewer: "The Jedi actually have communications with the Hutts?"
Korrsh: "Well, yes. They are one of the key powers of the outer rim. Although the Republic does not recognize them as an official government, they still hold all of the power in those regions. We have to keep contact with them in order to secure safe passage to the outer rim. For quite some time, The Exchange had a bounty on us. We needed to make a few concessions to keep the exchange off of our backs constantly.
Interviewer: "So, if he was so important to keeping relations between the Jedi and the Hutts open, then why did you bring him in?"
Korrsh: "This isn't going to be released until after the trial is over?"
Interviewer: "This isn't for public release. And, yes, we will not be publishing this until after the results of the trial are in."
Korrsh: "We never had any proof to bring in Galdradi... I can't go into the details of this, but we followed some leads to a freighter that was packed to the brim with Selkath slaves. We traced the freighter to him. Sadly, we know how the legal system on Coruscant knows and we knew that those charges wouldn't stick. So, we decided to dig a little deeper. We found some people willing to flip on him. That, combined with some help from my Padawan in chasing down his Lieutenant in a high-speed fighter chase and we marched straight into his club with the Coruscant Police. He gave us quite a show, but, now we have one of the most powerful crime-lords on Coruscant in custody and tossed his place to get enough forensic evidence to clone him and throw both of them in jail for the rest of their natural lives."
Interviewer: "So, your Padawan helped in this case?"
Korrsh: "Yes, very much so. I have no doubt that she will be a Master one day."
Talisha: "I KNOW that i will be a great master one day."
Interviewer: "Alright, that should be it. Thank you very much."

Absolute Comics - Season Two: The Monster Within

Prince T'Challa of Wakanda

C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T P R O P O S A L

The Black Panther

^{_{T'Challa ♦ Crowned Prince of Wakanda ♦ On the Road ♦ Wakanda}}

C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T:

^{"You call me stupid for wearing this suit. I'm not the one looking to fight the man chosen to weild unimaginable power by a god."}

T'Challa is young, arrogant and full of self-confidence. A fighter who has been groomed from birth to become the new king of the most advanced civilization on earth. In this continuity, Hunter is not his adoptive brother, but Step-brother, being Ramonda's son from her first marriage and is (Currently) on good terms with him. His Powers come from the goddess Bast, who grants him the powers of the Black Panther. Bast has also given him the duty of protecting not only her children, the children of Wakanda, but the rest of the planet as well. King T'Chaka, however, has forbidden T'Challa from assembling outsiders to be his knights. As such, T'Challa has gone off by himself, without permission. Not only is he now trying to track down the most powerful beings in the world, but he's also on the run from Wakanda's police who have been charged with bringing him home. The leader of the re-capture squad is his childhood best friend, M'Baku. He has had an obsession with the outside world for as long as he can remember, his first introduction to it being an Aretha Franklin album that Wakandan comm-systems managed to pick up and download.

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:

T'Challa is smart and he is wise, but he is also naive. He doesn't believe in the isolationism that the past kings and queens have instigated. One of his main goals is to end the isolation. This is for several reasons, but one of the main reasons is because he wants to be recognized as a great leader of the world, and for Wakanda to be recognized as the greatest nation in the world. His first step on this road is to bring outsiders into his court. He wants to create a group of knights that will protect not only Wakanda, but the world at large.

C H A R A C T E R N O T E S:

This version of T'Challa is going to be highly arrogant and full of himself. He will always know best, he will always assume that everyone who disagree's with him is simply wrong, he will never back down, never surrender and never admit a mistake... Until that mistake costs him something he couldn't bare to part with. Some of the supporting cast:

Family

King T'Chaka

Father of T'Challa, T'Chaka was the previous Black Panther. In his youth, he was wild and untamed, he is noted as one of the greatest of all of the Black Panthers, defeating several attempted incursions into Wakanda. What many do not know is that, after his first wife died giving birth to T'Challa, he left Wakanda in grief. This was covered up by the family. On his travels, he drank, partied and slept with many women. He returned to Wakanda after 2 months, with his new wife, Ramonda and a new son, Hunter. It was then that he held his son true son for the first time.

T'Chaka is now old, he is wise, but he is also ashamed of his time in the outside, which is why he will keep the isolation up at any cost.

Hunter

Hunter is the Adoptive son of T'Chaka. When T'Chaka was travelling, he stopped in South-Africa. During his time there, he was mugged by Hunter, who took T'Chaka's wallet and managed to, almost, get away from him. Impressed by the boy, he offered the boy a job travelling with him. Hunter had been orphaned and was living on the streets of Cape Town at the age of 8. When they returned to Wakanda, he told everyone that he had found the boy in a crashed plane on the outskirts of Wakanda and officially adopted the boy as his son.

As Hunter grew, he found that he was judged for being the only white man in Wakanda. Hunter didn't resent his younger brother, but he did relish the opportunity to show him up. Hunter proved himself to be one of the cleverest and skilled warriors Wakanda has ever known. When he came of age, he asked T'Chaka to become the Black Panther. T'Chaka initially agreed and Hunter was brought before the priests. When they prayed to Bast to bless Hunter with the power, there was no answer. Hunter doesn't resent his brother, but he does resent Bast a little. Hunter now serves as the head of the royal guard.

Shuri

The older sister of T'Challa, Shuri was the middle child, between Hunter and T'Challa. She may be T'Chaka's oldest child, but tradition will not allow her to take the throne unless accepted by Bast, only the Black Panther can. As such, she has dedicated her life to science. She has dedicated her life to the study of the application of Vibranium. She is a fierce warrior and Wakanda's foremost authority on Vibranium.

Allies

M'Baku

M'Baku is T'Challa's best friend since childhood. The two first met when T'Challa was undertaking training from M'Baku's father and the two quickly bonded in their combat training. They have always had a friendly rivalry, but have never let it come between them. They have earned themselves the nicknames of "The Bash Brothers" as they are always gatecrashing parties and seducing the women, before having to fight their way out, past the many angry relatives of said women. Since T'Challa's escape, he has been tasked with hunting down the lost prince. M'Baku comes from the Jabari tribe, and worships the great White Gorilla. Legend says that if you hunt and consume the flesh of the gorilla, then you will gain unimaginable power. He doesn't care for such old superstitions. Great power like that can only be granted by gods...

Waylon Jones

Born in Florida, Waylons mother died in childbirth and his father, not willing to raise such a deformed mess, put the boy up for adoption immediately. Croc was raised by nuns for the first portion of his life, but, at the age of 5, escaped and went feral. He spent a year living in the sewers of Tallahassee, until he was found by Jennifer. A woman who had lost her husband and son in a car accident the week previously. She found the boy searching through her garbage cans and invited him to stay with her. She managed to bring him back to his senses and began tutoring him in how to read, write and talk. Though, due to his slightly smaller brain, he was never able to achieve any academic success. He was shunned by the other kids at school at first, but was soon accepted when they found out that he was immensely strong, making him great for sports. Always the first picked for Football.

After barely getting through school with the bare minimum of grades, he managed to get a Football scholarship to Gotham University, but was forced to drop out when he couldn't keep his GPA up to their strict standards. However, he did get to play a few matches in the few months he was there and the Gotham Knights were there to snatch him straight up. It was the night after a match against the Los Angeles Rams that he bumped into a young girl that was living on the streets. He got to talking with her and he convinced her to come home with him.

Waylon played 1 season with the Gotham Knights, taking them to victory at the Superbowl Unfortunately, the NFL wasn't happy with a mutant being the star player, thinking that his always winning was an unfair advantage. So, a new drug test was instituted among the players, one which Waylon's mutated form would cause him to fail. Kicked out of the sport and with no other team willing to touch him through fear of them getting much the same kind of underhanded move from the commissions, Waylon needed to keep his money flowing in so he could pay to keep himself and Jubilee. He had little choice but to use his immense form for crime. He never actually committed any crimes himself, but his intimidating form allowed him to be very good muscle for several of the crime lords of America. He moved from city to city, starting in Gotham, he went to Central City, Metropolis, New York, Bludhaven, but soon got to a position where he was able to leave the life behind. The two of them moved out of the country to get away from it, moving over to Japan, before making his way to China and then across the middle-east, working in construction and warehouse work in order to pay his bills, as well as living off his savings as a football star.

His most prized possession is his "Waylon Jones American Football Rookie" Card.

Jubilation Lee

Jubilation Lee, known to her friends as Jubilee, she was the daughter of a pair of rich chinese moguls, living in America. The Head of the gymnastics team, a cheerleader for the football team and also a dab-hand at chess. Then the fateful weekend came. Her parents went on a trip to Hong-Kong and she threw a house party. She was just getting close to Brad the captain of the Football team, when she felt something welling inside of her... And the next thing she knew, the house was on fire. Escaping outside, she couldn't contain herself, the "fireworks" blasting everywhere. Her parents had lost everything in a stock market crash and when they found that she had destroyed the house, they threw her out.

She was living on the streets when she was found by Waylon and was taken in by him. Moving back to Gotham, she was able to pick up her life... For a few Months, before the football season finished and Waylon was fired. The pair of them were forced to move around the country as Waylon looked for work. Eventually, she travelled with him abroad and helps as the interpreter as they work their way across the world.

Jeb Stuart

James Ewell Brown Stuart, the legendary Confederate commander. Everyone knows the story. Born in Laurel Hill, Patrick County, Virginia on the 6th of February 1833 and was later enrolled at West Point military academy. Commissioned in 1854 second lieutenant of cavalry. He later married Flora Cooke the daughter of Colonel Philip St George Cooke. The couple had two children Jeb Stuart, Jr. and Virginia Stuart. The name Jeb would be carried down the generations of his decedents. At the outbreak of the Civil War, J.E.B fought in the Battle of Bull Run. He was put in command of the Confederate Cavalry under General Robert E. Lee but was fatally wounded in 1864 at Yellow Tavern, Virginia, during the Battle of Richmond.

What many people don't know is that Lee may have died, but his soul didn't pass. He continued to fight for America, even after his body was destroyed. During the many wars since, American tank-crews have reported that, in times of dire need, they would hear the sounds of bugles, before a ghostly apparition took control of their tank and began to use it with super-human accuracy, the hull bouncing shells that should have penetrated, the gun piercing armour that it never should have and the vehicle moving at speeds it just isn't capable of. Most recently, a single M3-Lee has been reported on the boarder of Kasnia, hunting down attempted Kasnian incursions into the surrounding countries. Kasnian jets have hit the tank with everything they can and it hasn't made so much as a dent.

Villains

Killmonger

Killmonger was born in Wakanda and is one of the few to leave. Not much is known about him, other than, as a boy, he was a member of an attempted coup against T'Chaka. After the coup failed, he fled Wakanda with Malice and became a Mercenary. He is one of the best mercs and assassins in the business. His fee is $10,000,000 per hit and he has never failed to kill his target.

Klaw

Klaw is a scientist and one of the first people to discover Wakanda. Starting out working for the US Military R&D department, he was enamoured with Vibranium and the potential to use it as a weapon. After tracking several sources of the valuable metal, he found Wakanda. He snuck in and managed to steal a load of Vibranuim, making it out in one piece. He used the Vibranium to develop immensely powerful sound-based weapons. Going back into Wakanda for more, he was beset by King T'Chaka, who, after a long, grueling fight, cut the scientist's hand off and captured him.

Klaw rotted in a cell in Wakanda for 20 years, until the coup against T'Chaka. Killmonger broke Klaw out of jail on his way out. Klaw returned to America to find out that he had been declaired legally dead. When he started to rant and rave about Wakanda's immense technical superiority, they didn't believe him. Klaw went mad, stole the remaining vibranium and developed a powerful sonic-cannon for the end of his stump where his hand was. He is now back and is going to get his hands on the mountain of Vibranium under Wakanda.

Malice

Malice, was born T'Mancha on the same day as T'Challa and was arranged to be married to him shortly after they were born. They grew up as the best of friends, but, during the Coup, she drank a poison that was meant for T'Challa. The poison mutated her and drove her insane, giving her increased strength and speed. She has sworn Vengeance on T'Challa and his family for enslaving her. She has an on-again-off-again relationship with Killmonger.

S A M P L E P O S T:

M'Baku was just finishing up his rounds patrolling the royal palace. It was a dull job, but it allowed him to stay close to T'Challa. Also, the women of the Jabari were... Too savage for his liking, the palace women were much more amorous. As soon as he finished this shift, he would track down T'Challa and they would go get a date. After all, having the crowned prince as a wing-man had gotten him some action before. Walking into one of the Palace's hangars for their fleet of jet-fighters. He heard some clanging and a pained seeth. "Who goes there?" he called. "Come out with your hands up. Sabotaging the King's fleet is a VERY serious crime, but trying to fight one of his royal guards, gets you killed." He heard some quiet shuffling and readied his Vibranium spear. Seeing something move near one of the fighters, he approached it. Lunging out, ready to strike, he found the jet abandoned, but the cockpit was open. "Dammit..." He put his wrist to his lips.

"Wait, my friend." Came a voice from the shadows. "Please do not call the other guards." M'Baku looked around, before seeing a pair of glowing, purple eyes.

"T'Challa?" he asked. "What in the name of Bast are you doing here?" He then laughed "Is this one of those idea's for a joke, Because last time we did this, i was in the infirmary for a month."

"Look, M'Baku, how was i supposed to know you weren't going to catch that spear? But, we're not going over it again. I need to leave." T'Challa said, approaching from out of the shadows and allowing the mask to retreat from his face.

"Yes, you do." M'Baku laughed, putting his arm over T'Challa's shoulder. "There is a dance over with the Sakhme Tribe. Lots of very-" He guestured a shapely figure with his hands whilst winking "Girls. I say, we go over there, have some fun and try to escape before getting torn limb-from-limb by VERY angry fathers." He laughed. T'Challa put his finger on his chin and looked up for a moment.

"How shapely are we tal-No..." He shook his head and shook M'Baku's hands off of him. "M'Baku, when i said i needed to go... I meant..." M'Baku stopped and looked at him. His smile quickly fading.

"Oh no... No. NO! You are NOT doing this AGAIN!" He roared. "King T'Chaka has forbade it. You will bring ruin to Wakanda. We have survived by keeping with the old traditions. By making sure we are out of sight and out of mind. How many times must we tell you this?" He yelled.

"But it's different this time." T'Challa said, in a hushed tone. "And please, yell louder, i think some people in Canada didn't quite hear you." They stared each other down for a second. "I have had a vision..." M'Baku rolled his eyes.

"Did this vision have some assistance of the Priests ceremonial wine?" He asked. T'Challa's hands flexed and his lip scrunched up for a second, clearly not willing to lie to his friend about the situation, whilst still realizing that he was going to sound crazy.

"Anyway, Bast appeared before me. She said that the time for isolation is over. That there are great threats to the world on the horizon and that we will need to rally and lead the world out of the coming darkness. That if we do not, first, the rest of the world falls, then we do so as well."

"No, first the rest of the world falls, then we stay out of everyone's way and don't fall too."

"But M'Baku-" T'Challa began, before M'Baku began to beat his fists on his chest, rearing up high. "I do not want to fight you, my friend... But i have a mission from the goddess herself. The short sightedness of the priests and Father will not be enough to stop me." M'Baku approached him.

"This is your last chance, T'Challa. Come with me to the dance and we forget this ever happened. Or..." He grabbed his own head and twisted a snap out of it, before twisting the other way.

"Or what?" T'Challa laughed. "We both know i'm way stronger than you."

"Only a little." M'Baku replied.

"Try, you can bench 300lbs and i can bench press this jet?" He replied.

"Irrelevant, i need to stop you." M'Baku stated, without missing a beat in the conversation.

"Alright, counter proposal?" T'Challa asked "I lay you out with a simple hip-toss and i take the jet. Either way, i'm going to lay your out before i take that jet and leave." M'Baku stared him dead in the eyes, for a minute there, they wrestled with just their stares.

"Oh, alright." M'Baku sighed. "Just make it quick, the others will be along soon." T'Challa nodded, before hugging his friend.

"I owe you another one, my brother." He said.

"I hope, for everyone's sake, that you are right about this." M'Baku laughed.

"One day, we will be sitting in the throne room, laughing about this." T'Challa sighed.

"I'd better not be your damn court jester." M'Baku replied.

"Oh, nothing so un-dignified. I hear that, in the old Europe, the most powerful man was the one who wiped the king's bottom for him." He then delivered a swift chop to M'Baku's neck and his friend went out-cold. He then grabbed the spear and began making gashes in the walls and the floors, as well as several crates. He then threw the spear off into another part of the hangar, before climbing up, into the jet. The engines roared to life. "Alright, please open, mr bay-doors." He said, pressing his clearance in to the computer. The doors opened and the jet blasted away.
