Brief biography of the character's history:
In order to spare his homeworld of Thanagar from destruction at the hands of Galactus, Katar Hol's lifelong lover Shayera pledged servitude to act as Galactus' herald. After years upon years afterwards, Shayera finds out that Galactus is heading towards Earth with his newest herald Lobo. And so, Katar ventured across the cosmos to Earth to warn Earth's heroes. Now, he returns to his homeworld of Thanagar.
List a few reasons why you have chosen that character:
He is a character I enjoy a lot. I've always found what was most interesting to me, was that he would use an array of different weapons and pieces of armor. To me...it is something you don't see other heroes really doing that do use weapons. I loved Geoff John's run and the stories that came afterwards on his title before OYL came along and changed it to Hawkgirl.
What can you bring to this game?:
A unique spin on the Hawk's history. There will be similarities of certain elements...but with what Kaboom has already established as far as their history and Thanagar's...I've come up with an interesting story to continue with.
Color and font you plan on using for your character's speech:
Orange, Bolded, Microsoft Sans Serif Font Size 2.
How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG:

Please provide a small sample post with original content in the style that you plan to write your character in (must be at least 5 paragraphs long and contain at least 3 lines of dialogue):
Six weeks. Six weeks, 13 hours, and 45 seconds to be exact.
"46. 47. 48."
Katar Hol has been traveling back to his home planet of Thanagar from Earth for Six weeks, 13 hours, and 49 seconds. After giving early news to the heroes of Earth about the coming of Galactus with his Czarnian Herlad, Lobo, Katar had to flee back. Earth was not of his concern, the only reason he felt the need to warn the heroes, was because his has his own dirty history between Galactus, himself, and his wife Shayera. Now, he feels his past is forgiven. He can live on, knowing he did some good.
"Ah, Thanagar. There is no other world that had been crafted so beautiful as her. There is but only one thing of beauty to which it can compare...my Shayera."
Katar's spaceship enters Thanagar's atmosphere, and he can already see the planet more detailed now. Earth, while beautiful in its own way, is nothing like Thanagar. Here...it is Heaven for him. An eternal paradise...that he can spend with his beloved.
"Soon, my love. Soon I can hold you in my arms once more."
*DEET DEET DEET DEET*
"Transmission on. Frequency opening...now."
A screen turns on, and Katar can see a Thanagar soldier appear on it. Hawkman turns on the audio, and adjusts his headset as the soldier starts to speak.
"Katar Hol, your audience is requested with Prime Minister Andar. You can ladn your ship in the east wing docking bay."
"Understood."
Changing course, Katar turns his ship, heading towards the east wing docking bay. It is a rarity, that a Thanagar soldier, at his rank, is summoned for an audience with the Prime Minister. The endless possibilities, as to why such an honor is placed upon himself, is what dwells in Hawkman's mind. When Katar returns home to see his Shayera, surely he will have some good news.
With a group of Thanagar soldiers, armed and in form, Katar practially receives a heroes' welcome. He makes his landing, and exits his ship. Instantly, in completely uniform, the soldiers turn slowly, marching towards Katar as one of the Elite Thanagarian Generals come down the middle.
"General Kel, I thought the Prime Minister would--"
"Prime Minister Andar is indeed waiting for you, Katar Hol. But do not think for a second, his excellency would welcome a traitor with open arms."
"What?"
"Arrest this man."
With the order given directly by one of their most high ranking superiors, the soldiers move in towards Katar Hol. They wield out their weapons, and Hawkman finds himself to be nothing more than a bird stuck in a cage.
