All right, I think we're just waiting on Taka right now. Hope everyone had a good weekend! Mine was a little stressful (or maybe a lot), but I'm still here! ^^
You can start without me. Been...really mentally tough. Yankee and Lemons can attest that I'll have a sheet up if I say I will. Personality is done though so..there's a start. lol

A B I L I T I E S ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ◼ Bast's Avatar T'Challa has been chosen mystically to be the avatar of Bast after ingesting the heart-shaped herb, enhancing his body to superhuman levels. Notably he now has the knowledge and experience of every Black Panther that has come before him. Due to Vibranium being a gift from Bast, T'Challa is innately connected to it as her avatar, even able to feel it within his vicinity. ◼ Superhuman Strength Being mystically empowered by Bast, T'Cha'lla has gained strength on a superhuman level. While he can lift at levels far exceeding Olympic-class athletes, his punches pack a considerable amount of force. This strength extends to his legs, exceeding his arm strength by a significant margin. ◼ Superhuman Speed/Agility Like his namesake, T'Challa can run exceedingly fast, reaching speeds up to 50 mph. Notably this applies to combat as he can react to gunfire and attack blindingly fast. This also extends to his agility as T'Challa can complete complex flips and tumbles with little effort, including in combat. ◼ Superhuman Durability/Endurance The magic of Bast has morphed T'Challa's muscles, bones, and skin are denser than the human body, allowing him to greater forces and tussle with other superhumans. This extends to his endurance as not only can he endure unimaginable pain, he can physically exert him for over an hour before feeling even an ounce of fatigue. ◼ Superhuman Senses All five of T'Challa's senses have been superhumanly enhanced. He can see at great distances and extend his vision into the electromagnetic spectrum to the extent that he can see in near-total darkness. He can hear at lower frequencies, and greater distances. His sense of smell is suitably his best sense as he can track targets through smell alone, and smell fear among other things. Like his namesake, T'Challa can feel changes in the air around him to better help against prey and predators. Lastly his sense of taste is refined to the extent he can taste food and know every ingredient. ◼ Superhuman Regeneration Last, but not least, T'Challa has an extraordinary healing factor, able to heal from injuries at a faster rate than the average human. Most toxins and poisons have a hard time in his body due to his heightened metabolism. -
T O O L (S) ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ◼ Kimoyo PDA Invented by Shuri, this PDA is a portable supercomputer using SHIELD Satellites and hidden backdoors into Wakandan Satellites. The PDA has the ability to hack/interface with technology but, also has more practical uses. ◼ Panther Habit Due to his connection to Bast, T'Challa is able to summon the Panther Habit, a mystical suit dating back to the first Black Panther. The Panther Habit is constructed with a Vibranium-laden weave that negate or lessens the impact of a kinetic based assault, robbing objects of their momentum. Enough force or cutting along the grain can bypass the suit's durability. His night vision is enhanced while wearing the suit. The claws of the suit are made from Antarctic Vibranium, an anti metal that breaks down other metals on an atomic level except for Adamantium for reasons unknown to T'Challa. Being that the soles of the boots are vibranium, he is able to move soundlessly, climb surfaces, and land from great heights. After absorbing the kinetic force of attacks, the suit stores the energy which can then be released through strikes to enhance his attacks or as a 360 blast of kinetic force. Bast, having blessed Wakanda as the protectors of vibranium, has augmented his magic to allow the suit to assimilate technology to enhance suit, becoming unique for each avatar. Shuri has enhanced the suit with two additional features currently. The first being a cloaking technology that renders T'Challa invisible but, fails if he makes any sudden movements. The second enhancement is a short range EMP built into the gloves of the habit. ◼ Spear of Bashenga The Spear of Bashenga is a mystical spear first wielded by Bashenga, the first Panther. The spearhead is made of vibranium and has the traditional markings of Wakanda. T'Challa is able to summon the spear whenever needs it. The length can be changed at will from a spear to dagger by shortening the shaft of the spear. -

S K I L L (S) ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ◼ Martial Arts From a young age, T'Challa was known as a prodigy, groomed to be a warrior. His father taught T'Challa a variety of styles, and this knowledge was enhanced further through his connection with past Panthers. Each strike, and every movement is backed by his endless talent and understanding. To call T'Challa a master is an understatement for he is Wakanda's greatest warrior. ◼ Panther Stealth T'Challa has trained tirelessly in the domain of stealth, able to stalk his prey as efficiently as a black panther itself. He has a grasp of how to hide himself through tricky angles, hiding in plain sight. Very few can say they've seen the Panther coming before he strikes. ◼ Weapon Mastery Every type of martial weapon known to man is under T'Challa's mastery, through his own training, and the knowledge of the Panthers that came before. Unfortunately beyond a bow, he has no training in the usage of ranged weaponry. Anything he touches can be improvised as weapon, giving him an advantage that not many can contend with. -
T A L E N T (S) ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ◼ Tactical Awareness T'Challa has learned every tactic known to history, through study of every major war, and his connection to the past Bast avatars has taught him much that he could learn through study. His understanding of tactics is sound, letting him morph different tactics to fit almost any situation. ◼ Eidetic Memory To keep this short, T'Challa can remember anything he has seen or heard, or smelled. He has perfect memory recall. This has helped him achieve praise as a genius, though not on the levels of Shuri, Tony Stark, nor Lex Luthor, but he can use his memory act on levels beyond your average human. This also extends into being multilingual, having learned multiple languages in a rather short time. -

You all may know the story of the Black Panther. The king of Wakanda and chosen of Bast that has protected the land several dozen times. Unfortunately this is not that story. This story begins when T'Challa was but a small boy, barely the age of ten before his family was betrayed by the very brother of King T'Chaka, Prince N'Jobu. In the escape, Queen Ramonda, T'Challa's mother, would sacrifice herself to allow her family and those loyal to the crown. Connections to SHIELD would facilitate their escape from Wakanda and find themselves in hiding within the United States.
Over a decade would come and go, T'Challa would continue to be trained as a warrior by his father, always preparing for the day T'Challa take over the mantle and reclaim Wakanda from those that betrayed his family. One day the mantle of Bast's Chosen would be his, and he got to see what it meant to be the Black Panther personally, working his father on missions sanctioned by SHIELD. Not during SHIELD missions, he saw as his father made it a point to protect the people outside their window, the panther protects was the only motive that T'Chaka needed and it was instilled within his son. The moments were fleeting but, T'Challa, Okoye, his baby sister Shuri, and their father would times to be happy, away from Wakandan drama and SHIELD shenanigans. Unfortunately life would cut those moments short.
Eventually T'Challa's cousin, The Tyrannical King of Wakanda, would find where they were and send assassins to kill them. The fight would be hard and long, leading to the death of King T'Chaka at the hands of fellow Wakandan Bronze Tiger. There was a plan in place for T'Challa to take the herb as his father did not believe they he would out of the assassination attempt alive. Bast would take the future king deep into his hand before accepting him as her Avatar upon Earth. His nobleness, strength of heart, and bravery would transform into the Black Panther. He, alongside younger sister Shuri and friend Okoye, would repel the assassins, learning that the current king of Wakanda was the one known as Killmonger.
One year has passed since taking the mantle, the world knows of the Black Panther. Like his father before him, T'Challa lives by the notion that the panther protects no matter who it is. He stands for Wakanda. He stands for his people across the world. He is the Black Panther and he bows to no man.
P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S )
Simple and to the point, I want to write a T'Challa that isn't monstrously rich nor a Super Duper Genius. I think T'Challa can work well when away from Wakanda as a hero of the people. I hope to create stories like you'd see on Static Shock where it was able to show a black hero and speak on topics that affect minorities through the only way a superhero could. That's one thing Black Panther misses in his own comic series, he's never a man of the people, mostly just Wakandans. Ryan Coogler has a great portrayal of Black Panther and I wonder how T'Challa would handle with the injustices of his people when he has to grow up in that world instead of Killmonger.
With T'Challa not being as reliant on tech, though shuri is going to be creating tech, I want to put focus on the mystical side of the Black Panther and Bast's interactions. While T'Challa will have to deal with Killmonger's war dogs, and League of Assassin shenanigans, I expect to have him meet with different avatars with gods, either working with them or having to fight them. T'Challa will be a roaming hero so I'm open to SOOOO many team ups.

A B I L I T I E S ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ◼ GHOST RIDER TRANSFORMATION Thanks to Ralph Dibney possessing Robbie, he is able to become a Ghost Rider, a being dedicated to bringing justice to evil. With this transformation, Robbie's body is enhanced to superhuman levels. Most notably is his regeneration as a Rider can heal from nearly anything in a matter of moments, thus requiring something holy to harm them or hitting hard enough to bypass the healing and incapacitate the user. Riders can generate chains from any part of their body, Robbie normally choosing his arms, infinitely and can extend those chains as far as they want. Lastly the Ghost Rider is self-sustaining, needing no air, food, or rest. ◼ HELLFIRE Riders can harness, generate, and control the ethereal flames of Hellfire. They can go so far as causing the weather to rain Hellfire and channel it through their weapons, specifically the chains. ◼ VEHICLE POSSESSION Riders can possess any vehicle, turning it into a fiery vehicle, giving the rider its name. Robbie most notably uses his 1969 Charger becoming known as the Hell-Charger. The Hell-Charger has many abilities including channeling hellfire, create hellfire portals for teleportation, become intangible, communicate with the deceased, repair itself and Robbie, and ride upon any surface as well as it rides upon concrete. ◼ PENANCE STARE The Rider's ability to bring penance upon others is their most legendary power. This affects the target on a mental, physical, and spiritual level, completely incapacitating those affected. All the pain and suffering they've caused will be reflected back and the rider can focus the on certain sins committed. This ability is commonly used as a stare where the rider must be able to see the eyes of those they target with the stare. -
T O O L (S) ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ◼ 1969 Dodge Charger The Charger is a beast of a machine even when not possessed by the rider. Robbie keeps it tuned up and ready to race at all times. A gift left to him from his father and Robbie cherishes it. The trunk holds tons of equipment for Robbie to use when he's Ghost Rider. -

Even with limited supplies, he can fix nearly any vehicle he gets his hands on. Besides the Rider, this might be the truly supernatural ability gifted to Robbie. ◼ INTUITIVE Robbie has a great mind for using the Rider powers. It it said that hosts of the Rider are only ever limited by their own mind but, Robbie seems to have no issue as he's always coming up with and finding out new abilities that spirit can bestow. He's not the smartest but, he's damn good at punishing evil. -

Many know the name of the Elongated Man aka Ralph Dibney, a hero that fought to stop many a criminals, and saving many lives within and outside of Opal City. A popular hero during his time, Ralph worked with many heroes during his time until his death at the hands of Eli Morrow. It was noted as the death of a true hero, but no one knew the truth; Ralph Dibney was angry and looking for revenge after the violent death of Sue Dibney at Eli's hands. Ralph's death would lead his spirit into the hands of Neron the Fallen Angel/Demon Lord and he noticed the strength of Ralph's soul. They would make a deal, Neron with ulterior motives, that Ralph would find Eli Morrow, and Neron would release Sue Dibney from her eternal torment if Eli's evil soul was brought to him. The Fallen Angel would send his soul exactly where it was needed most, to a boy named Robbie Reyes.
On the edge of dying after being shot, Robbie would be possessed by the soul of Ralph Dibney. The boy's face would melt till it was but a flaming skeleton, becoming one of the most dangerous beings on the planet, the Ghost Rider. Vengeance would be swift upon the thugs that attempted to take Robbie's life, and he would freak out after the event, Ralph speaking to him to explain their predicament. At first, Robbie was hesitant to accept this "partnership" as with his parents gone, he was the only one to take of his little brother Gabe but, the moment Ralph mentioned Eli Morrow then Robbie agreed to help as Morrow was his uncle and a suspect in the disappearance of Juliana and Alberto Reyes.
Three months have passed since Robbie took on the responsibility of a Ghost Rider. Ralph and Robbie have felt the calling to punish the wicked, only taking their ire out on those truly worth it, becoming a symbol of heroism and horror to the masses. Amateur race car driver by day, Ghost Rider by night, Robbie will find Eli Morrow and the answers he seeks.

I want to apply as Ghost Rider because I like Robbie Reyes. I think Robbie is honestly the best Ghost Rider and he's less edgy than the first rider, Johnny Blaze. Marvel doesn't Robbie his own runs much, usually having his stories intertwine with an Avenger story or another hero. While I do want to be open to meet ups, I do intend on Robbie being able to have his own story. Johnny Blaze, and the other riders will appear in his story and many other Ghost Rider concepts. Robbie has a unique standpoint as being a boy with a good heart but, also being the rider who does kill those that it punishes. It puts in question what it means to be a hero and how Robbie deals with that.
I took inspiration from Agents of SHIELD in keeping Eli Morrow separate from Robbie, and he'll play a big role in the story. I'll have various villains, and people in mind for Robbie to interact with. I hope have him have adventures with the paranormal characters like Deadman, Darcula, Lilith, and so many more. Explore how hell and heaven works now with the universes merged like how Mephisto wouldn't be the only "King" of hell. All in All, I just want to have fun writing for my favorite Ghost Rider and have him drive up building.
Yes. I did use Ralph Dibney as the spirit that possesses Robbie. It was Eli Morrow in the comics but DC has honestly gave not a care in the world for Ralph but he is one of the few characters to stayed dead...pre 52. Then he was tortured in New 52. I figured id keep him dead but use him. Delve into the revenge he never got over Sue. I don't plan for it to be all doom and gloom and sadness. In my mind, this is a story that will end happier for Ralph and Sue than it starts.

Off day tomorrow, Black Panther and Robbie Reyes/Ghost Rider will be posted. Said to see Spawn AND Batman go because I wanted my characters to interact with them. Guess one day Clark has gotta take a Penance Stare and ignore it.
Weapon of Choice Bayle carries his personal staff, Magus, which holds a ball of condensed mana, this ball gives greater control over his summoning magic.
Domains Convokation, Manifestation
Playstyle & Attitude Bayle prefers to sit in the backline, using summons to support the party and provide buffs.
From a young age, Joshua was taught to hide himself from the world, following what is said to be accepted. He was the second child to Joshua SR., something that his older half-brother Justin would take a threat to his own standing with his father. The notion that his own father gave his name to his baby brother, a child not of his mother, instead of his first born caused a rift between the siblings that would last for over a decade. Joshua was never able to form a connection with his brother, constantly shunned and forced to play on his own. This treatment would play a role in creating his timid nature, causing school life to be one the worst periods of his life.
Bullying was the name of the game when it came to school. Joshua was never one to speak up when people took from him, he had been well adjusted to being treated such a way by his brother, never allowed to fight back or catch a right hook. Justin would never defend him, deciding that Joshua wasn't someone he wished to protect. Life would only grow harder when Joshua would decide to help a kid who was also being picked on. He was okay being bullied but, the hate of watching others be bullied caused him to finally stand up despite how it would affect him. The whole ordeal led to him being beat up, and parents being called; this exchange would change Joshua's life for the better.
Joshua Sr. would take his son aside, and praise him for sticking up for another, whilst condemning Justin, furthering the divide. For years to come, Joshua would hold his father's word closely. Realizing how alone Joshua was, his parents would instead begin investing his time into gaming. They both were avid gamers and their precious baby boy would take to gaming like a bird learning to fly.
Eventually life would take a vicious turn when cancer would take his father's life.
BAYLE: A HERO IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING BAYLE: A HERO IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING
Pariah would soon become Bayle's new home. His parents had been running a successful Guild known as Utopia, a guild meant to help those of Pariah, from the kid needing help with a lost cat to fighting monsters. Bayle would join his parents alongside his brother Seethe, becoming the faces of the Guild. Unable to handle other roles, Bayle would gravitate to magic, learning to become a summoner, sticking to the backline, summoning arcane creatures and applying buffs to others. Pariah became a haven for him as he was highly respected for his efforts in the backline. Unfortunately those good feelings would end after his father's passing.
The Guild was rocked by the loss of his father, leaving a hole for Seethe to step up, his mother unable to play for some time. Bayle would ignore the world, hiding away in Pariah to keep himself from having to grieve. Eventually his mother would comfort her son, finding that they were able to grieve together through continued play of Pariah, those that respected Joshua SR coming together to give him a loving farewell. Seethe, on the other hand, would further the divide by distancing himself from both.
Bayle would soon learn that his father's last words to him would come to pass.
Artorious, The Blighted Fang: Artorious is one of two offense-oriented summons that Bayle can conjure, a beast that uses the blade in its mouth to attack swiftly whatever his master commands him to. Being an attack-based summon, Artorious is able to dish out slashing, non-elemental damage, but this damage is comparable to a tank at best. It is not a summon meant for tanking nor DPS. Being of Bayle's summons, the wolf is able to buff a single target's attack power, namely used on tank or DPS. By expelling additional mana, Bayle can have his wolf use it's overdrive ability, applying an element to the target's weapon.
Alexander, Impassable Wall: To keep things simple, Alexander is a purely defensive summon, standing at 7'0', with high HP, that can tank damage, able to apply a special taunt to redirect attention. While the taunt works on Alexander, it can be applied to tanks, nearly tripling the effect, but this also acts to buff the target's physical and magical defense. Activating Alexander's overdrive causes it to apply a special buff known as Reflect that bounces back any spell aimed at whoever Bayle chooses.
Undine, Soothing Sea: Undine is a summon for healing and showing the force of water. Her main ability is using the soothing nature of water to provide over the time healing to those in close proximity or apply immediate healing to a single target. A simple task for Undine, for any attempting to target her, the aqua nature of her body lends to having a high evasion but, unhittable. Overdrive does not increase Undine's healing but instead let's her create whirlpool at the feet of a target, slowing their movements, and attacks.
Usagi, Hare of the Endless Storm: Usagi is second offense-oriented summon and Bayle's strongest....currently. Usagi wields the elements of lightning and wind to fight, etching itself as an off-DPS to help the main DPS. It provides an aura of lightning and wind to those in it's proximity, which enhances the overall speed of those effected. In overdrive, Usagi can use its wind to push and pull targets to move them around for a tactical advantage.
Double Summon: Bayle has practiced his summoning abilities to such an extent that he can manifest two of his summons on the battlefield at any given time. Not only can he summon more than one summon, but he can also summon and dismiss them near-instantly. His mana is finely tuned for this specific purpose, and Bayle hopes to be able to use all his summons simultaneously one day.
Artificer: Instead of learning to swing a sword, Bayle excels in at crafting magical items, namely potions of various kinds. As long as he has the ingredient on hand, Bayle automatically knows how to craft the potion attached to that ingredient. He even crafted the very staff that he uses.
