'DAWN OF MARVELS' RPG Application
Screenname: The Question
Character You Would Like To Play: The Black Panther
Powers: T'Challa possesses no superhuman abilities. However, he is an excelent athlete and a skilled hand to hand combatant. His main area of combat expertese, however, is stealth and geurilla warfare. He is also well versed in metalurgy, electronics, and engineering, and makes most of his own weaponry. He wears a specially deigned suit, combining the ceremonial warrior garb of the King of Wakanda and various modern upgrades of his own design. The suit is linned with Vibranium, making it bullet proof and lessening the sound he makes when he walks. The gloves have retractible claws, enabling for better climbing. He carried a collapsable staff for hand to hand combat, several throwing knives, and a handful of explosives on his person. He also carries a blowgun with several sedative darts. As his combat style heavily relies on stealth, he usually simply hits someone witha dart and waits for them to lose consciousness before tying them up. His mask is also equipt with micro night vision lenses of his own design.
Basic History Of The Character (Up until this point): T'Challa was the youngest son of T'Chaka, King of Wakanda and holder of the warrior title "Black Panther." Years ago, a European scientist names Ulyssese Klaw requisioned the Wakandan government to use samples of their main economic export: The rare metal known as Vibranium. However, T'Chaka refused the request, mostly due to the number of murders that Klaw was suspected for in Europe. Months later, when T'Challa was barely ten, Klaw led a small group of mercenaries at one of Wakanda's refineries to steal the Vibranium. T'Chaka and his sons were there that day, and T'Chaka tried to defend the refinery. Klaw killed him. In a fit of rage, T'Challa grabbed his father's knife and cut off Klaw's hand. Klaw almost killed T'Challa, but was scared of by oncoming Wakandan reinforcements.
Shortly afterwards, T'Challa's elder brother, Jakarra, at the time 18, ascended to the throne. Jakarra's greed and corruption quickly became aparrant, and he began forming alliances with the local criminal orginizations. Rumor has it that he even secretly made a deal with Klaw, saying that he would leave Klaw's criminal orginizations alone as long as he got a cut. Fearing for what her eldest son would do to her youngest, N'Yami, the Queen Mother, sent T'Challa away to boarding school in America. There, T'Challa planned to overthrow his brother.
While persuing his academic studies, he also trained in hand to hand combat and the use of weapons. He initially intended to enroll at a camp for private commando training, but, while atending Empire State University, he met an old, homeless blind Ninjitsu expert and his equally blind student, and trained with them, trying to stay as far below the radar as possible.
With the news that his mother was dying of an unexplained illness, he returned home and stayed at her bedside until she died. He then told his brother that he was staying in Wakanda, and became a science teacher in the public school system. One night, he stole the ceremonial warrior garb of the Black Panther and customized it for his own uses. He is now acting as something of a vigilante in the inner city slums in the capitol of Wakanda, while trying to construct a plan to root out the corruption on his country, get revenge on Klaw, and overthrow his brother. He's got alot of work to do.

Four men walk silently along the dark city streets. As they walk, they give the impression of being quite carefree, as if they've no worries in the world.
Just today, they have raped and savagely beaten three women.
Suddenly, they hear a low, beastly growl eminating from the shadows of a nearby alley. One of them takes out his gun and slowsly walks towards the alley.
"<What are you doing?>" says one of his companions.
He doesn't respond, and walks into the alley. As he does, he hears a slight "WHOOSH" like sound, like a small, short, yet powerful wind. He looks around him. There is nothing there. He turns back to his fellows.
"<What was that about?>" asks one of them.
"<Nothing>" he says. "<I heard something. Thought it was...>"
"<The Black Panther?>" asks another.
"<Yes>" he says.
"<Oh come on!>" says his first friend. "<You don't honestly believe that crap, do you? The panther king died over ten years ago.>"
"<But there have been all these sightings of the Black Panther. What do you make of that?>" he says.
"<Just the wishful thinking of a bunch of poor, superstitious morons. Plus maybe a few idiots going along with it, playing dress up, and getting into a few fights>" says his friend.
"<I've heard that it's the Panther God himself, angry at Wakanda for becoming so corrupt>" says the third man in the group.
"<There is no Panther God>" says the first man.
"<How can you say that?>" says the fourth man.
"<I'm an athiest>" the first man says. "<That's how."
One of them mean reaches into his pocket for a cigarrette.
"<You may say that now>" he says, "<but just you wait....>"
