Name: Paul Kirk
Alias: the Manhunter
Age: 30
Personality: distant, calm, loyal, respectful, witty
Archetype: Metahuman
Powers: heightened physical attributes on par with an Olympic athlete; possesses a healing factor; heightened senses; h2h and marksmanship skills
Weaknesses: it takes him longer to heal from greater injuries; brain injuries that leave weapons or projectiles in his head can cause his healing to stop; Manhunter is also only wearing light body armor and protection so he can still be effected by most things that can effect humans.
Appearance:
Character Evolution: I want him to eventually gain friends in the League and open up a little bit. His day job and being Manhunter is this dude's only life. He could use some friends. Or a dog. Or a girlfriend.
BRIEF Bio: Paul Kirk found his calling as a police detective in his early 20's and eventually rose to the rank of Captain. He had no idea that a metahuman gene in his DNA was responsible for his incredible health, or what saved him from what would have been two fatal gunshot wounds. Everything came crashing down on the man from Midway City when a scandal cost him his career and what few friends he had. At the age of twenty-seven Kirk became a private investigator part time while enjoying his forced retirement from actual police work. Usually just looking for a missing kid or stalking somebody's ex. In one instance the assignment had Kirk come to blows with an angered ex of a client and for a few moments Kirk felt the thrill again. Later that same evening at a local diner he'd stopped into, a robbery occurred. After taking three gunshots to the chest and getting up to take down the badguy... he finally realized he was superhuman.
Inspired by popular television shows and movies Kirk created an alias and a suit. No perps ever got away from Detective Paul Kirk. Now... no man escapes the Manhunter!
Notes:
* The original Paul Kirk didn't have powers however his clones were a little more Capt. America. This is basically giving the original some power as well.
* Originally his look inspired the design of the Manhunter Androids, in this interpretation I used the androids look to make his simple suit a little less bland.
* Carries a custom Silver Heat 45. He has two full clips of twelve rounds each as well as another six shells in each hidden compartment in his boots giving him a total of thirty-six rounds.
Sample Post:
He ran through the night in downtown Midway City. The city was comparable to cities like Detroit, and the Manhunter leaped and flipped from one roof top to the next. A client had hired PI Paul Kirk to spy on her husband who she thought was having a simple affair. What Kirk uncovered was a slavery ring the 'cheating bastard' was in on. He was currently tailing a blue van, thankfully it was trying to not be suspicious. Had the van been going over the twenty-five mile per hour limit Kirk might've been a little more winded. It finally came to its destination, a Masonic Temple. AKA a building with only one window by law...
"Really? I thought this was more of a Boston thing than Midway..." he thought sneaking down to the street level.
It wasn't as easy to sneak into the building with only one window and one door. When he kicked the door in the masked hero came in hard and shot everyone who looked like Mister Rogers in the shoulder or leg. Manhunter fought his way towards the back and found their tunnel and found two more men with three young women hostage armed with shotguns.
"Easy fellas. You've already lost. I called the cops before I busted your door down. By the way, Steve, your wife says hi!" Manhunter said catching the man of guard.
The man fired his shotgun at the hero in red and blew him back. He threw the woman down he was holding and approached the downed hero. The other guy backhanded one of the girls and told them to stay put and approached the gunned down hero as well.
"I've never shot at one of these people before. You'd think they only go after guys in costumes..." said the man called Steve who shot Kirk.
"Yeah, no kidding. And this one even knows your wife..? Um... did you just see him move?" replied the other guy kicking at the body with his foot.
Suddenly the hero sprung back to life and clotheslined both of the men. Only one of their guns went flying but before the other man knew what was happening Manhunter broke his arm. Which of course resulted in his gun being dropped as well.
"The cops are on their way. They'll help you..." he said to the young girls after shooting both men in the knees and throwing their weapons down into the tunnel entrance.
"Are... are you... aaa... a robot?" one of the girls asked still in shock.
"Why does everybody think that?" he replied taking his exit...
