@Member 00492 I might have missed it somewhere as well but how long will most of us have been part of the JL? A few weeks? Or months?

@Member 00492 With the Metal event starting soon, I'm glad we'll have Nth metal as part of Bulleteer's backstory. Specially since they seem to be retconning a lot of important items from the multiverse to have been made from it.

@WXer Accepted! Reminded me more of Negative Man with a dash of Ironman. I'm giddy the first hero accepted is based on Negative Man. This just made my 4th LOL.

@Member 00492

Glad you liked the character. If you're open to long term storyline ideas as well, I have a few in mind that I could PM you.

Here is my Earth-53 interpretation of Negative Man. Hopefully he does Larry justice.

Lt. Lawrence Trainor

Name: Lt. Lawrence Trainor

Alias: Polarity Man – The Soldier of the Skies

Age: 33

Personality: Hopeful, Mellow, Brave, Self-Destructive, Indifferent

Archetype: Alien tech, the origin of which is kept secret from him by his military superiors.

Powers: Polarity Man’s powers mainly come from his mechanical power suit, which he has dubbed the “Patroller”. The suit’s capabilities include jet propulsion flight with a recorded Mach 2 speed limit, enhanced strength, radiation and atmospheric-pressure resistance, satellite wave interception, a visual scanner, and an arm blaster which fires radioactive or electrical energy at either short bursts or prolonged streams.

The lieutenant himself has one specific power which is the generation of a negatively charged energy with radioactive elements. In fact, his physiology changes to a plasma-like state when he generates enough of this energy that allows him to phase through certain solid surfaces, mainly the metal plating of the Patroller as it lacks an entry hatch.

Weaknesses: The two halves of Polarity Man cannot function without the other; Lawrence Trainor requires the suit to regulate his energy production or he risks overloading himself but the Patroller also cannot function without his unique energy signature either. The specifics of an overload are unclear but the lieutenant has no intentions of testing the theories regarding it.

Appearance: Underneath the armor and uniform are burns that have completely erased all traces of the lieutenant before becoming Polarity Man. To remedy this, specially prepared bandages that can help regulate the negative energy are wrapped around most of his body. This personal appearance of his is completely secret to the public though. For all they know, the Patroller suit is Polarity Man.

The Lieutenant

The Patroller

Character Evolution: While I personally will go with the flow of the story, I hope to see Polarity Man change from just a soldier to a real superhero over its course, perhaps even find the humanity that he lost. Other character changes will hopefully happen though I don’t have anything else in mind at the moment.

BRIEF Bio: As a USAF test pilot, Lt. Trainor had flown many top-secret aircraft out of the Langley airbase he was stationed at. The day he flew the experimental jet codenamed “Doom Patroller” was just like any other as well. The eggheads present at the flight assured him that it was going to revolutionize the way all fighter jets could respond to meta-human threats, serving as a solution rather than just a distraction. Lawrence didn’t believe the assessments, or rather, he didn’t care. However, once the jet’s systems shut off mid-flight and he started to free fall from the sky, he went from disinterested to shrieking mad in an instant. Before he hit the ground though, the jet imploded upon itself and form fitted a mechanical suit to his body that protected him from the impact.

When he came to, Lawrence was back at the air base’s medical bay but some remains of the jet had somehow fused to parts of his body like shrapnel which they were unable to remove. These pieces embedded in his skin gave off a unique energy signature that he would find to be both a curse and a blessing. He would spend months recovering from the crash and even more months learning to use the jet’s new form. While this went on, his superiors had negotiated for him to become a part of the Justice League as a US government sponsored member. Though the details of the deal are not known by the public, Polarity Man now finds himself in the ranks of the Justice League.

Notes: The character is mostly Negative Man with a twist of Robot Man, Blue Beetle and Captain Atom, while the mech appearance is the Gespenst from Endless Frontier.

Sample Post:

“Did I ever tell you how ridiculous the name ‘Polarity Man’ sounds?” said the being of pure energy emerging from the metal chassis of a jet-black mech suit, after landing in the middle of Nowhere, Virginia. Slowly, this being would reform itself into a solid state but the man that stood in its place looked quite banged up. Bandages covered a majority of his body but he otherwise looked just like any other flyboy that operated out from the Langley airbase, complete with a bomber jacket with an assortment of military badges and a pair of shades that look straight out of Top Gun. He would lay on the grassy field he found himself in, letting the minutes pass along with clouds that flew by. However, this tranquility wouldn't last long as he stood back up and continued his complaints. “I bet you the same engineers who designed the jet came up with the name. Apparently, we needed a fitting identity for the J.L. and a tagline that the public would recognize for good P.R. branding. I mean, I really don’t care bu-.”

Before he could finish his sentence, he would begin to lose his balance and fall to one knee as an electrical charge surged through his body. He stayed in such a position for a few minutes before regaining his composure as the shock stopped. “Right. Forgot about that. I guess we better suit back up, huh?” Across the man was no one else but the mech suit that he had emerged from, currently lifeless and immobile. However, the moment Lieutenant Lawrence Trainor re-entered, the systems of the machine were quick to start back up. With a smirk hidden underneath his bandages, Polarity Man would fire up his engines and hit the skies once more, patrolling to protect the free world underneath him.

After binging Young Justice and a bunch of Rebirth issues, I definitely want to do a DC RP. Count me in.

Edit: I pretty much have my character ready, which is largely based from Negative Man.

Stardust Pilgrims

I'm game as well.

Stardust Pilgrims

So, did everyone else just keep that one of the sections was titled Apperance?

Anyway, I believe my character, formerly Tai Yang, now Tenzin, is ready for review.

@The 42nd Gecko

I'll be honest, with the forum code text obscured, it made me skip over proofreading the section headers.

Stardust Pilgrims

I'll be going with this character myself.

Raz "Speedball" Veldt

RAZ "SPEEDBALL" VELDT
25 | 5'10"| A+

_{A P P E A R A N C E}

An otherwise average John Doe with rather eccentric fashion sense, donning antique leather apparel such as a flight coat, aviator goggles, and a bomber mask when he engages in militia operations. Raz's brown hair is groomed in such a way that a large portion spikes out forward, even when he wears his mask.

_{P E R S O N A L I T Y}

Optimistic, complacent, and a thrill seeker. Raz is an easily satisfied person who prefers cool theatrics and big hero moments over facing harsh reality.

_{B A C K G R O U N D}

Born to native colonists of Eleos V that had moved to greener pastures, Raz had big dreams that were matched by his parents' big expectations. During his early years, Raz had developed an interest in being a pilot due to his father, who was unable to pursue this career while he was younger. While he did display a better-than-average proficiency in piloting, the praise he would receive were many and somewhat undeserved. This led to Raz thinking he was a natural talent that could not be hindered by any obstacle. By the time he was enrolled in an Earth Sphere approved military college, he couldn't keep up with the responsibilities required of him and was dishonorably discharged before getting anywhere near an officer's uniform.

Without much to fall back on, Raz decided to return to Eleos V to live with his grandparents instead of confronting the people he had known for most of his life. Unfortunately, this life altering event had coincided with the much larger tragedy known as the Catastrophe War. This set of circumstances was fortunately the second chance that Raz needed, or so he thought.

_{S K I L L S}

While he didn't officially become part of the ES' Armored Frame corps, Raz does have most of the training needed to be a rookie pilot such as space and terrestrial combat, along with firearm handling. Unfortunately, engagement tactics was the subject he had the most trouble with, as he preferred to fight up close for all the simulations he would find himself in.

_{F E E L I N G S O N O T H E R S}

TBD

_{N O T E S}

Speedball is his childhood nickname, which he has chosen to expand as his new piloting persona while in the militia. He also has a vintage comic book collection, which is where he draws inspiration from for his alter ego.

Posting here to say I'm interested as well.

Superpowered

Well there is the matter of the giant ogre that's probably gonna stop us from doing that.

Though, with that said, he can't possibly stop all of us.
