supposedly KATE BISHOP made it through the convergence. SHE is TWENTY-TWO and i hear they sometimes go by HAWKEYE. it seems they tend to be AMBITIOUS, but IMPLUSIVE. rumor has it they used to run with THE YOUNG AVENGERS, but do they have what it takes to keep up? mr. oz better keep an eye on this one going forward. ( alex, 21, she/her, est )
it’s me again, i’m everywhere and all over. so ! kate bishop - hawkeye. not the other hawkeye, not the hawklady or female hawkeye. just hawkeye.
she grew up super wealthy. her dad was a businessman and villain (which she didn’t actually know until later down the road) and even though she didn’t like him all that much growing up, she got along amazingly with her mother.
so, naturally, her mother ended up passing away mysteriously. totally messed with kate as a child. she didn’t think she could really count on her sister or father so she grew up pretty independent.
she’s got a photographic memory so she’s always been an A+ student and excelled at gymnastics, sports, and the cello. she was always very involved in charities and giving back as well.
unfortunately, at sixteen, kate was assaulted in central park. it took her some time to reach out to help, but when she did, kate decided to make sure nothing like that would ever happen to her or someone else again, if she could help it. she trained in self-defense classes and martial arts and took up the bow - she was a total natural at the bow. it was her favorite thing not long after.
then at her sister’s wedding, this merry band of fools helped to save guests from a stand up and she forced her way into their group and, together, they formed the young avengers. the avengers weren’t fond of this. they pushed a lot at first. kate’s convinced if they had helped them instead of tried to force them to stop then the ultimate tragedy that was cassie lang’s death wouldn’t have happened in the first place.
but it did. her friend and teammate was dead and the group disbanded and kate eventually went on to work mostly with clint barton. later, she ended up on the west coast trying out a private investigation business. she’d just recently moved that gig to new york when the convergence happened and here she is - the only hawkeye again.
( OC, BEX TAYLOR-KLAUS ) ; supposedly TERESE ANGELICA EMBERS made it through the convergence. SHE is TWENTY-ONE and i hear they sometimes go by FLUX . it seems they tend to be WORLDLY, but DISTANT. rumor has it they used to run with N/A, so they’re staying far away from the hall of justice. mr. oz better keep an eye on this one going forward.
(tw: domestic abuse mention and hospitalization under the cut
she is the youngest of two. more info about her older brother cyrus is right here
long story short, terese and cyrus had a shitty home life. their mother was neglectful at best and abusive at worst, and when they got out, it was a god-send. it wasn’t easy, and it wasn’t something she understood then, but in retrospect, she’s grateful. cyrus got mixed up with some bad people doing bad things and made enemies of someone a whole lot more powerful than he was. what had quickly become the well functioning ship that was the embers siblings sank like the fucking titanic in a matter of hours. and suddenly, at 13 years old, terese was on her own without anyone to give a shit.
turns out, terese was pretty good at being on her own. with her mother deemed unfit to take care of her, she got tossed into gotham’s foster care system and was shuffled from home to home every few months or years. she learned pretty fast that arkham wasn’t going to let cyrus out any time soon. and despite the fact that he’d done his best to take care of her, she was bitter. so his letter got ignored.
like her brother, terese is... gifted. she identifies as a witch, though not as strongly as cyrus. and while he’s pyrokinetic she’s hydrokinetic. fire and water. it’s a funny story that they tell, just being who they are. anyway, terese is hydrokinetic, which basically gives her control over water. it makes her a major badass, and is pretty damn powerful when she does it right, so she’s not complaining.
she’s working on perfecting her skills. it’s rough and kinda hard to control without an actual teacher but she ended up in greece that one time. and got arrested. and stuck in jail for a few days. it was a good time.
pre-convergence, terese was coasting. gotham is a shithole, but it’s her shithole, and even when she travels, she kind of misses it. so she always ends up back there, fighting assholes under the cover of darkness and shadow. flux never stays gone for long. but with the disappearance of... well, damn near everyone who made the world a safer place to be, she’s a little shaken. post-convergence, she’s kicking ass and taking names a little more consistently. she’s still not really a team player, but she’ll try. and she’s... admittedly... a little worried about cyrus. it’s not like she hasn’t kept tabs on the asshole, she just doesn’t want a lot of contact with him. a dramatic shift like this, though... it makes you rethink things.
anyway, this is my little piece of shit. hmu if you have any questions or wanna plot or whatever!! i’ll be here.
except he’s only evil about 35% of the time. if you’ve been rping in the comic rp circles for long there’s something like a 75% chance that you’ve run into him. nico’s one of my most consistent muses. HOWEVER, because of the nature of this rp i’m playing him a little differently. here’s the down low.
- nico was born in brazil. he’s the son of a very minor goddess, iara. despite having godly parentage, nico is surprisingly mortal. he has the human level of strength/speed/durability/etc.
- his only power is mind control via siren song. that’s a sort of nuanced power, though and it has varying degrees of success. some people are totally immune to it, depending on proclivities, and extended exposure to it over a long period of time will render it virtually ineffective. he HAS to be carrying some sort of note for it to work (so punch him in the throat), and the more people he’s trying to control at once, the less specific control at once. he can force a single person to do just about anything, but if it’s more than a couple people, he’s really nerfed to only be able to influence mood or push a suggestion.
- his mother had very little to do with his upbringing. to bring nico with her into her life/realm, she would have had to drown him, and she didn’t have the will to do it, so nico grew up with his father. he and his father were extremely poor, and as nico learned to use his power, he used it mostly to make sure they kept a roof over their head.
- eventually his powers were noticed by a scout for the league of assassins, and they offered him a lot of money to come work for them. so he accepted. the league taught him how to use his powers effectively and they trained him to be a very effective killer. he sent most of the money he made home to his father, but he died a couple of years later regardless. so at about eighteen/nineteen, he left the league and went to america.
- the league wasnt super thrilled about that, but when they sent some people after him he basically just made them jump off a building so now he and the league just kind of ignore each other.
- he’s been in america for a few years now, but the first years were kind of spent just hiding out from the league, living in burnside.
- during the last few years, he’s been trying to work out the kind of life he wants to live. he’s basically cycled between three personas, trying to figure out which one serves his interests the best. the first is a vaguely hero-esque identity that he adopted by jacking the batfam style. dark colors, big bright bird logo on his jacket, usually casually goes by hummingbird or something. he basically just uses it for attention, though, he’s got no actual heroic tendencies. when he FIRST came over, he kept his league of assassins sort of vibe going. very secretive, very collected, very deadly, but that’s no fucking fun
- now he’s operating as a gotham rogue, more or less. he’s still working out the nuances of his new identity, siren. but he finds that this one gets him the closest to doing what he wants. he’s a thief, albeit not a talented one. basically he looked at the gotham city sirens and went how can i do that. and that’s what he’s trying to do.
- he’s a piece of shit. he has like 5 sugar daddies that he uses his powers to convince he’s sleeping with but hes not actually sleeping w/ them. they just support his ridiculous lifestyle while he tries to figure out how to be an effective criminal.
- we can talk about establishing prior connections and stuff but just keep in mind that he hasn’t actually been a rogue long, so he’s still forming a lot of relationships.
- i apologize in advance for his behavior.
Hi everyone!! I’m Thea and I’m gonna be playing my best babe, Kori! I figure everyone probably knows a bit about her, but for a little bit more detailed info, look under the cut!! Can’t wait to rp with you all!!
koriand’r (aka starfire) is the princess of a planet called tamaran
she is not currently the reigning monarchy of her planet for a couple of reasons
first of all, her family gave her up to slavery as a child to prevent another race from taking over and decimating their planet
second of all, despite the fact that things are better... now, kori’s relationship with her family is strained at best.
her sister, komand’r, is the reigning monarch of tamaran and that’s just fine with kori
she escaped her imprisonment as a teenager and that’s when she ended up on earth. it was also when she met most of the people she now considers her family.
kori has team hopped a couple of times, and doesn’t 100% fit anywhere anymore. the titans are still her home, her family, but the outlaws are also close friends, once she would fight and die for. to top it all off (she’s collecting robins, let’s be honest) kori has also taken up the job of leading the teen titans--or at least providing a guiding hand.
one major thing to keep in mind: kori’s emotions are almost always just under the surface. tamaraneans believe in feeling what you feel without shame or thinking about how you ought to feel about something. so whether it’s love or hate, embarrassment (though she hardly knows what that is) or excitement, kori expresses herself loudly and unabashedly.
i’m so excited to rp with you all!! hmu if you want to plot or chat!!
( DC, HALSTON SAGE ) ; supposedly BETTE KANE made it through the convergence. SHE is TWENTY-FIVE and i hear they sometimes go by FLAMEBIRD. it seems they tend to be ENTHUSIASTIC, but FLIGHTY. rumor has it they used to run with BATMAN INC., but do they have what it takes to keep up? mr. oz better keep an eye on this one going forward.
okay ! so bette kane: kate kane’s niece, bruce wayne’s cousin, champion tennis player, olympic gymnast and swimmer, and a certified adrenaline junkie. she loves a thrill like no other and she’d be lying if she didn’t say she likes the adoration that comes with her titles, just a bit.
she gets bored very easily, which makes bette a bit unique of a crimefighter. she’s a good person and wants to help people, but a large part of becoming a vigilante was in part due to the fact that she was bored of her old conquests and wanted something new and exciting. unfortunately, it means she’s not super consistent - it’s gotten better in age, but when she was younger, bette would be in and out of her costume every couple of months.
she’s been in the business a good while. technically, she was the first batgirl and had a big ol’ crush on robin until she learned his secret identity. for most of her vigilante life, she’s trained under batwoman, but bette has worked with the teen titans and titans a couple of times and even had a go at forming her own west coast titans.
eventually, she ended up as flamebird, borne of the same tale that superman told dick about nightwing. they never got to work together very often, but dick is one of her biggest inspirations and favorite partners.
she’s not really leader material though. the west coast titans failed miserably and she went back to focusing on her schoolwork. eventually, she ended up at UCLA and majoring in sports medicine.
after a while of focusing just on her schoolwork, bette donned the costume again and pushed kate to keep training her. kate refused due to the dangers at hand ( and since batwoman had just been totally defeated at that point ) so bette wanted to prove a point and tried to go up against the hook - an infamous assassin with the league.
the hook nearly killed bette. she was in a coma for a few months and needed physical therapy for about a year after just to get back on her feet. mentally and emotionally, she was traumatized and hung up her suit. since she ended up so far behind at school, she put all her energy into that and graduated a year later than she’d anticipated.
then she ended up visiting her aunt in gotham. she saw how much better kate was doing with the rest of the family and wanted to take up the suit again, but kate wasn’t really convinced.
determined to prove her otherwise, bette decided to stay in gotham for awhile and relearn the ropes of the city in secret. then her aunt and every other big name hero disappeared and now bette figures she owes it to her aunt and the rest of her bat family to stay around and help out.
supposedly COLIN WILKES made it through the convergence. HE is SEVENTEEN and i hear they sometimes go by HUSH. it seems they tend to be EMPATHETIC, but VIOLENT. rumor has it they used to run with N/A, but do they have what it takes to keep up? mr. oz better keep an eye on this one going forward.
someone told me you wanted to meet a tiny baby angel, or maybe i’m just projecting Again. fair warning, colin has an extremely brief comic history, so a lot of what you’re about to read was either inferenced from the text, entirely my own decisions from playing him over the last couple years, and specific circumstances i’ve decided on just from this rp.
CANONICALLY speaking, colin is a gotham boy. he grew up in an orphanage where it was heavily implied that he was abused (as well as abused in a few of his foster homes). he received very little care and attention from his supposed guardians. he grew up a really angry kid and was notorious for bouncing around foster homes. colin has always had some pretty significant mental health issues. he’s got anger issues, intense paranoia, and multiple debilitating fears, including that of bats.
STILL CANONICALLY - colin was chosen by scarecrow, at the direction of hush/tommy elliot, to be a victim of one of his experiments. colin was subjected to a heavy dose of fear toxin as well as pumped full of the same venom that gives bane his powers. he was basically a mindless, terrified monster, unaware of what he was doing. he was forced to attack batman, but batman realized that beneath whatever rage-y scary monster he was fighting, colin was just a child && was able to break the influence scarecrow had on him.
colin was saved, more or less, and healed from his encounter, but he was returned to the same orphanage he had been in before. however, a couple years later it was discovered that colin had retained some of the ability the venom gave him. he was able to harness that power and transform himself at will. after discovering this, he took on the name ‘abuse’ and dedicated himself to helping other children who were also being abused.
this put him in the path of batman and robin ( dick and damian, at the time ) while they were simultaneously tracking a ring of child trafficking conducted by victor zsasz. long story short, colin revealed to them that he was also a hero (albiet a pretty low profile one). damian then gave colin the equipment he needed to keep working in gotham city, including a motorcycle and base of operations. they were buddies, guys.
so here’s where the line between canon and headcanon get a little blurred. it is heavily implied during streets of gotham that colin was chosen very intentionally by hush because he resembled a young tommy elliot. a flashback lets us know that a lover of tommy elliot ( another villain, peyton riley ) possibly had a child about the same time colin would have been born. at the very least, colin is meant to be sort of thought of as a stand in for tommy elliot in the story, but i tend to go with the headcanon that colin is the son of hush. which is actually super important to colin in this particular rp.
AND HERE’S WHERE THINGS GET ALL NON-CANON: after the point where damian died and colin felt he was without his support network, colin went looking for answers as to why he was targeted by crane and what hush’s involvement in the whole process was. ya boy had....Questions. so he went looking, followed a few trails, and that eventually lead him to Papa Hush.
To be clear, Hush’s interest in Colin was never ever born out of any sort of paternal instinct/affection. He didn’t see Colin as any sort of potential legacy, more as a tool that could help him. Same as before. Colin was a tool that could get at Batman, and tbh I think Colin always sort of knew that, but he also was desperate for an actual parent in his life, so he got manipulated a little. Colin’s time w/ Tommy was a pretty tense time all around. Colin was using Tommy to learn as much as he could and hone himself as a crime-fighter, Tommy was using Colin to do things he wouldn’t be able to do otherwise.
So essentially, Abuse/Colin Wilkes dropped off the face of the planet, and there really weren’t a lot of people who would have cared that much in the first place. So he was able to pretty seamlessly remove himself from the hero scene in gotham and become an extension of tommy elliot. however, of course, since colin is a certified good boy, eventually he decided that he had learned all he wanted to from his father (also he couldn’t stomach it anymore tbh) and left. this was only shortly before the events that made this RP happen transpired. literally just a week or two after colin left hush’s company, a bunch of big heroes were wiped off the face of the planet, and that kind of changed colin’s plan. up until that point, colin’s plan had been to remain a small-time hero in gotham, using any newfound skills he had to truly protect the people he perceived as powerless.
but now he’s here, and he’s like a fully fledged little teenager instead of a ten year old and my heart is so full about it. he’s adopted the name Hush as his own, but i’m sure tommy would beat his fool ass for trying to do that. colin isn’t that worried. if your character is someone who is/was gotham-based they’re more than welcome to recognize him, but he PROBABLY hasn’t seen them in four to five years, so keep that in mind. if you wanna go w/ something else, tho, just message me and im sure we’ll be able to work something
supposedly SIMON BAZ made it through the convergence. HE is TWENTY THREE and i hear they sometimes go by GREEN LANTERN. it seems they tend to be BRAVE, but STUBBORN. rumor has it they used to run with THE GREEN LANTERN CORPS, but do they have what it takes to keep up? mr. oz better keep an eye on this one going forward.
okay, first and foremost, this is my first serious foray into playing my sun and stars simon baz. please be gentle with me, i promise i’ll get better as i go. keep reading if you want some basic history about simon, but if you want to ask me for the cliffnotes version instead, i’d be fine with that.
simon is a lebanese-american from a family of immigrants. after 9/11, his family ended up subject to a lot of anti-muslim sentiment. long story short, simon was able to push through that and went on to get higher education. he majored in engineering, and was actually able to get a pretty goddamn good job but was fired after a while.
desperate for money, simon ended up doing some illegal street racing. ( if anyone was wondering, he’s very good at it, which is extremely sexy of him ) however, after a while of thise, simon ended up in an accident that put his best friend/brother-in-law in a coma. simon narrowly avoided being incarcerated after this, and that made getting a real job even harder
simon went on to steal cars to sell for parts after that, and eventually one of the cars he stole ended up being filled with explosives. when simon was apprehended, he was immediately suspected of terrorism and was thrown in prison immediately, where he was subjected to near-torture.
it was there that simon’s ring found him. though his ring was technically defected, having been tampered with by sinestro, it bonded with him and took him away from prison. this lead to a tense run in with the justice league, but the misunderstanding was eventually cleared up and simon joined the ranks of the green lantern corps, officially.
simon’s lantern partner since has been jessica cruz. their relationship was tense at first, but she’s since become the MOST important person in simon’s life, and he firmly believes that she has made him a far better lantern than he would have been otherwise.
a lot has happened during simon and jess’ run as lantern partners, but i wont go into all the details there, since simon’s personal history seems more relevant to get everyone caught up on.
simon possesses a particular talent as a green lantern called emerald sight. it’s not an exact science, but it occasionally lets him have visions of the near-future. he’s super confused by it, thanks.
