Fitness, Work outs, and Practices from a learning Martial Artist.

@BangoSkank Do you practice one? I've been thinking about taking up Karate again (I used to take it when I was little but didn't stick with it) but I'm not exactly made of money at the moment.

Fitness, Work outs, and Practices from a learning Martial Artist.

I always come back to this article when I get it into my head that I want to start doing martial arts again. Been a bit but I'm glad the thread isn't locked!

Justice League Unlimited: AMONG US

The Blue Blunder

---

"Not all of us an do a full body workout in twenty minutes." Ted retorted, looking at his literally sculpted abs on his suit. "I've got a pretty demanding job outside of all this and it's not like I have the time to do all this and still make a living." Ted said as he annunciated his point with a wave of his arms. In truth his mind was about a fifty-fifty split between the whole 'imposter among us' issue and running his company. He'd recently bought into a new blooming market for relatively cheap but wasn't seeing very much in the way of revenue, in fact the whole venture seemed to be a cash dump at the moment. While Kord Industries did nearly everything under the sun, one area they had yet to dip their toes into was the entertainment industry. Having come to that realization Ted began making a push to get the company's image out there and where better to test the waters that the world wide web, more specifically video sharing websites.

Things were slow to start, turned out you couldn't just pump money into the project to make it grow naturally. However once the top 5 videos began the 'Kord-tertainment' channel began to explode in popularity. The videos got tons of views and a fair amount of likes but the comments left were all jabs at the company itself. Now Ted's been spending his nights trying figure out how to salvage the whole thing and not tarnish his company's image. His current plan of attack was a collaborative video with another popular content creator going by the name of Critical of Nostolgia or something along those lines. In truth Ted was glad to be in his Blue Beetle suit and away from the online hellscape for a minute. Ted was snapped out of his own troubles when Wonder Woman came over the speakers.

"We'd better get over to Wondie. Time to show you what these fake muscles can do." Ted said with a grin as he began to haul it over to the hanger

@Omega Man Holy cow congrats dude!

Justice League Unlimited: AMONG US

Blue, Beautiful and Bombastic

Player Name:
rocketrobie2

Primary Character:
Blue Beetle

Secret Identity:
Ted Kord

Age:
33

Usual Base of Operations:
Kord Industries is based out of Chicago but Kord runs most things remotely and get around.

Day Job:
Owner and CEO of Kord Industries

Powers:
Zilch

Weaknesses:
He’s all too human and not in amazing shape either. Lions and tigers and bears can all take Ted down a peg if he doesn’t have access to any of his tech.

Skills:
Ted is a novice in MMA and can hold his own well enough against fitter villains. His main ability tough is his mind. Ted hold multiple degrees and is considered an expert in a multitude of subjects, mostly scientific but with some other wildcards like Mesopotamian artwork. He’s built himself an arsenal of gadgets in order to be capable of contending with the powered villains he faces daily.

Appearance:
Ted’s a decently handsome guy, he’s no Bruce Wayne but he’s not ugly by any means. He’s a little chubby sitting at 181 lbs and standing at 5’6” but has a fair amount of muscle underneath. His costume is pretty tacky looking; primarily consisting of what looks like cheap spandex harkening back to the early days of super heroics. Underneath his goggles and cloth costume is enough tech to make Lex Luthor drool. The micro ceramics and energy dissipation grid helps to keep Ted in the fight where a normal man would fall.

BRIEF Bio:
Ted Kord was raised in luxury due to his parents owning the highly successful cooperation know as Kord Industries. Living in such an environment inevitably spoiled Ted and resulted in a child who believed they were a cut above the common rabble but this lifestyle also allowed Ted to put a great focus on his studies and become a child prodigy. This mentality didn’t help Ted make any real friends but the boy suffered a real shock when his parent’s company was bought out by Wayne Enterprises during a low period for the company. Ted’s ‘friends’ all left him and his family was forced to drastically change their lifestyle to fit their new money situation. Luckily Ted’s parents made peace with the situation quickly and managed to keep the family fed, warm and dry.

Ted wasn’t as easy to adapt.

The now eleven year old boy took the change horribly and blamed his parents for their new accommodations and fiscal situation. This mentality slowly eroded away as Ted grew older and came to realize just how much his parents needed to do just to keep their family living somewhat comfortably and put him through university.

After university, Ted made a name for himself in the business world via starting multiple companies and selling them off for huge pay outs which allowed him to once again live in luxury. Eventually he managed to buy back his parent’s company from Wayne Enterprises after a decent amount of haggling and paying more than the corporation was worth. The first major project headed by the company under Ted’s leadership was the development of the software to be used in the Justice League’s base of operation. The business owner hadn’t followed the career of the heroes very closely but he knew about the superhuman that inhabited his world but seeing them up close sparked something within Ted.

These heroes put their lives on the line so that people like him could continue their lives without needing to worry about some intergalactic starfish or something destroying the planet. Ted wanted the self fulfillment that came with such an occupation. He thought “I want to be one of those guys” and began using the resources of his company to cobble together gadgets and a suit so that he could become a protector of the planet.

Supporting Characters:
Dan Garret: The original Blue Beetle. Ted didn’t initially have a name for his alter ego but after unintentionally saving the retired hero in Ted’s early days, the two bonded and Dan passed on the mantle to an ear Ted. Now the two meet up for lunch every now and then

@Omega Man Your son taking over your old account makes the Stan Bingus thing make sense now. I think I'm gonna go with a classic and write up a Ted Kord.

Justice League: AMONG US

I'm in if you'll have me! Not sure who I'd join with at the moment though.
