Alright, I'm taking a break from Harley (at least as a direct PC) to do this arc with Larfleeze which I am very excited for. I intend on continuing Harley's story through Jason as an NPC until the time comes when I once again, pick her up, assuming she's still open.
.
THE NEW ULTIMATE DC RPG .
Character Application
.Screen name: Syn
.Character you wish to portray: Larfleeze - Green Lantern of Sector 2828 (Partner Blooch)
.Hero, villain, or walking the line?: Hero
.Powers and physical attributes: (Green) Power Ring
.Origin and back story (as you see it):
Lantern Corp.
Born a child of the planet Okaara, Larfleeze grew into a strong willed adult. He lived his days as a teacher - a scholar, always striving to learn as much as he possibly could.
One day, Larfleeze witnessed a robbery in his hometown. As the other citizens watched, Larfleeze stepped in and fought the criminals - hoping to stop them. While slightly halting their escape, he ultimately failed and was injured in the skirmish. The current Green Lantern of the sector witnessed his act of bravery and recruited him into the Lantern Corp.
Showing great promise during his training, Larfleeze soon grew into a powerful agent - using the knowledge he has obtained to fuel his mind and wield his ring imaginatively and forcefully. He soon was assigned to a sector (his own) along with the Lantern who recruited him, having recently lost his partner during a case.
For years Larfleeze worked with his partner in Sector 2828, upholding the law and bringing down countless thugs and criminals. But, during a mission that still remains shrouded in mystery, Larfleeze's partner was killed and his ring was missing when the body was discovered. During the trial on Oa, Larfleeze was investigated thoroughly. After a grueling time, Larfleeze was released and reinstated as a Lantern due to no evidence being able to trace him to the cause of his partner's death or the disappearance of his ring.
Larfleeze now works in Sector 2828 with his new partner, Blooch. The two serve their sector with everything they have, doing all they can to uphold order and peace.
(Yeah, I ganked this from MFH. SO WHAT?!
)
.The burning question - Why this character?: MFH made me intrigued, already liked the character. Why the heck not?
.How will this version of your character differ from others? How will it be Ultimate?: Larfleeze is a loyal and upstanding member of the corp, but due to what happened to his last partner, there is now doubt about his abilities (or the truth to the story). I intend to show what happened there and also what lies at the pit of his soul...
.What do you believe you can bring to the RPG?: Gonzo as a green lantern... and Daffy Duck. Yes, I stole that from Johns.
.Provide a sample post as the character you wish to portray, in three paragraphs or more:
The infinite void of space - a wide expanse of nothingness but faint shimmering lights far off in the distance. By planetary terms, it is best described as a desert - miles upon miles of emptiness between galaxies, nebulas, and stars. Only once a being enters this void does he realize how vast it is truly.
Amidst the black backdrop, two beeming figures move forward. Their bodies are wrapped in a emerald glow - outlining their physical features, as well as the symbol brandished on their chests. They are green lanterns, protectors of peace - police of the stars.
"Larfleeze," one of the lanterns speaks, garnering the attention of his partner.
"Why do all the lanterns back on Oa despise you?" Larfleeze squints his eyes, scrunching the muscles in his face together as he fights off the unwanted emotions within him.
"You know the answer to that, Blooch," he tells the other coldly, keeping his eyes fixed forward. It is not the question itself that bothers him, but the underlying meaning behind it. Larfleeze knows why his partner has asked this question of him - and he knows the box of secrets that is screaming to be opened.
"You're old partner?" He asks, faking innocence.
"Yes," he grunts.
"And, as I told you before, I didn't kill him."
"Then why does everyone think you did?"
"You really have to ask?" He asks in irritation.
"He was my mentor, Blooch. A greater man than I could ever hope to be. Everyone on Oa loved him, and to be honest ... so did I." Blooch stares at his partner intently, feeling a strange sense of overdramatics coming from his ally.
"We go on an undercover mission - a dangerous one, at that. Everyone said I wasn't ready, but he stook up for me. He told them they were wrong about me, and that all I needed was a chance."
"How did the Guardians feel about it?"
"You know how they are," he growls, bearing his teeth.
"But they let me go ... and now ... all of Oa regrets it."
"Well, you were investigated, right? Isn't that proof you're innocent?" Larfleeze closes his eyes, shutting them tightly. His neck constricts and his throat closes as he prepares to speak.
"They never told you what the case was classified as at its end, did they?" He says, his words seeming to cause him pain. The aura around him suddenly begins to quiver, and the green light begins to shift between green and white as it nearly shifts to a new spectrum.
"Inconclusive. There was no evidence, Blooch. And a lantern, nor being, can be convicted without evidence." As Larfleeze finishes talking, he lets out a long breath as his body begins to relax. The aura around him once more returns to a dark green, and his eyes open slowly.
"So," Blooch begins, slightly hesitant.
"Did you do it, then?" Larfleeze suddenly stops, turning himself around to face his partner face to face. As Larfleeze looks directly into his partner's face, the corner of his mouth begins to rise - and an unsettling expression comes over him.
"What do you think?"
.Do you know how to post pictures on the Hype?: Yes. Good luck finding a pic with Larfleeze as a GL. 
Good call, BL. You get 1 Syndollar.
