BRIEF Bio - 

BRIEF Bio - Born in 1904, John had the average life of somebody born into being a farm hand. He had basic schooling through about the fifth or sixth grade before having to take on a job. The young man helped take care of roughly twenty acres of farmland, rode horses, and was used to using outhouses. By the 1930's John hit the road and traveled up and down the eastern coast taking on factory jobs here and there. Occasionally he'd still get opportunites on farms and a time or two he worked in coal mines. He was decent with firearms when the time ever came, but was as shocked as anyone would be when he created green flames from his hands. After traveling to NYC and seeing the Statue of Liberty as well as the Golden Guardian in action, John was inspired and knew what was next for him. 

Moving back to north eastern Tennessee, John became friends with the Sheriff in Queensport and learned a thing or two about justice and law before adopting a costumed identity. After years of using his powers in secret he finally made a name for himself as the Torch of Liberty. During his time as a costumed crime fighter the Torch faced enemies such as the O'Donnell Gang, Ghostface, and the Creature of Warpath River. 

Potential Storylines - 

Nazi Ghostface - One of Torch's longtime adversaries is revealed to be a Nazi spy. 

Birth of the Justice Guild  - The formation of what would be this universe's first superteam.

Nazi Robo-Humans Attack - A strange ship that showed up in the NYC bay is secretly housing an army of robots!

Fast Friends - If we get a speedster I'd love to do a team-up ala GL/Flash.

Additional Notes - I essentially wanted a more street level GL type of guy. John doesn't fly or make constructs, or phase through walls... and there's no weakness to wood. I mean there is... you could catch him off guard with a baseball bat just like anybody LOL

It was 1938 and the road to World War II was fast approaching. It was also a time of heroes. Alien supermen, star spangled patriots, gun wielding vigilantes, a man on fire, wonderful women from around the world, and heroes that could fly and run at speeds the mind could barely comprehend were all around. Societies of heroes who believed in justice as well as heroes already invading the enemy on their foreign lands were in all of the newspapers. The Golden Guardian was chief among them, often cited as the first superhuman known to the public. There was a threat to America however, that remained unseen. Undercover agents and superhumans working for the Third Reich were more numerous than anyone dared dream. And during the summer of 1938 they began targeting every military instillation on the eastern coast.

This prompted the United States government and President Roosevelt to formally ask for the help of costumed individuals to protect the coast and the soldiers in the armed forces. The aforementioned Golden Guardian lead the charge and soon dozens of superheroes were banding together to help defend their homeland. There were somewhere between twenty and thirty military instillations, naval air stations, and coastal fortifications along the Atlantic seaboard. Heroes that could move at super speed or teleport were extremely helpful in checking in with bases often throughout the weeks. Several of the more important instillations made temporary living arrangements for some of the heroes volunteering. Ammunition plants and depots were high on the list for potential targets as well as the coastal fortifications. 

An ammunition plant was already attacked by Nazi superhumans called Blitzkrieg (a super speedster) and the Wall (super strong and durable, w/super jumps). There was also a small group of flying metal clad Nazi's called the Silverwings in decoded transmissions, supposedly targeting coastal military instillations and reinforced border facilities. As the Navy began its land expansion and construction on a submarine station and Naval Air station in Norfolk, Virginia, they were also victims of sabotage as several explosions and accidents have happened in the last three weeks halting construction in some areas. However the worst threats seemed to be born in the States, as a racist mobster has taken up a skull mask and began targeting minorities dubbing himself the Laughing Skull. The psycho's kill count is rumored to be well over one hundred, often leaving entire families and groups in his wake.  

Nazi spies, superhumans, and a racist mobster in a skull mask is just the beginning. Who will answer the call? And can anyone truly save the Golden Age?!

____________________________________________________

Following the lead of the Golden Guardian, the assembled heroes begin branching off to defend different sectors of the Atlantic Coast. Accepted players (everybody so far in the Interest Check has been approved) can go ahead and repost their characters in the proper tab. We'll get to cracking Nazi skulls before this weekend is over. If anybody has ideas on where their heroes might be at the beginning of the RP let me know. There's the Laughing Skull, at least two superpowered Nazi goons, and a small group of flying Nazi's in armor that the heroes and US military know about. 

Anybody else interested in joining the fight against Nazis?! The Character Sheet requirements and additional information can be found in the Interest Check in the link below...
