Hero/Villain: Hero
Identity (Public/Secret?): Secret
Origin (If not a new character, a recap of events leading to how your character got to what they are today): J'onn J'onzz is the last surviving Martian. He was accidentally teleported to Earth and stranded here. Adopting the identity of John Jones, a police detective, J'onn learned to live among humans. J'onn also operates as the superhero: The Martian Manhunter.
The aftermath of D-Day leaves J'onn feeling abandoned and lonely once again. After losing so many of his friends, J'onn becomes a recluse.
Personality: J'onn is incredibly intelligent and wise. Even still, he never fully shakes that loneliness which plagues him. His feelings of being alone in this world are only amplified by the death of heroes around him.
Three reasons why you have chosen that character:
1) SuperFerret applied (and was subsequently accepted) as J'onn, but he never made it to the IC thread. This gives me a clean slate to work with as MM.
2) Someone has to play a pivotal role in establishing the new Justice League.
3) J'onn is one of the original Leaguers, and he is one of the few survivors of D-Day. As such, he has seen a lot, and his experience will only benefit the younger heroes around him.
Write two complete sentences using proper English grammar explaining what you plan to do with the character you've chosen (i.e. What are your goals? Will you be doing anything different with the character than is usually seen?): I wouldn't say that I'm doing anything drastically different because, frankly, J'onn isn't the type to change greatly. While he has become slightly moodier, he is still very level-headed - a trait that will be important in assembling the JL.
How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: As many as necessary.

How did you find out about this game, Recruitment thread/word of post/seeing the RPG OOC/IC thread? I was actually here from the beginning. I just ducked out for a little while.
Please provide a small sample post with original content in the style that you plan to write your character in (must be at least 3 paragraphs long and contain at least one line of dialogue):
I still remember the day that the Mars rover mission reported back that there was no intelligent life on Mars. To most, this seemed like an obvious confirmation of something that was already known. But to me, J'onn J'onzz - the last surviving Martian - that news was devastating. Those were terrible days.
Twenty years ago, this planet faced massive devastation at the hand of Darkseid. I saw many comrades fall in battle. Even more troubling, I saw many innocents caught in the crossfire. The world wasn't the same after that day. In many ways, it affected me almost as much as the Mars mission.
I moved from place to place, doing the only thing I was good at - running. It seemed that exile was a 'quick fix' for all of my problems. But one day, it hit me. I've already lost one civilization - I cannot sit back and lose another. Men like Luthor have made this world a dangerous place, but new heroes are springing up. Together, we can make a difference.
"Together, we can save the world."
