I'm more than aware of the implant. If the right frequency is heard an incredible sensation overwhelms me. It's like a mental ejaculation.
Your sample is only two paragraphs long....we require three.
DENIED!
PSYCH, APPROVED!
Sometimes it's harder to stop than it is to keep going.

Bring it on.
This is why I talk softly, and carry the remote detonator to a tiny bomb I had implanted inside yours and trusty's skulls years ago.

Ollie has no powers, but he is one of the DCU's top marksman and is skilled in hand to hand combat. In addition to his bow and arrows, Ollie carries a variety of trick shot arrows as well as a rapier on his back by his quiver.
Oliver Queen was born to wealthy parents who died when he was a young man. Spoiled and arrogant Oliver had a wake up call when he was marooned on an island populated by heroin producers. Oliver, remembering the archery lessons of his youth, fought back with a makeshift bow and arrows and ended up helping the island's enslaved natives overthrow the drug lords and have them arrested by the authorities. Seeing the difference he made, Ollie decided to become a masked crimefighter and returned home to Star City and became the Green Arrow.
In game history: Ollie was mayor of Star City for awhile, then ran for president, but quit in order to spend time with his family. During an attack by Deathstroke, Ollie managed to fight him off, but almost died after being poisoned. Since the Dark Alliance's second incarnation, Ollie has helped out the JLA when needed and stayed mostly in Star City, working as a city councilman as well as Green Arrow to protect his home town.

Write two complete sentences using proper English grammar. One to explain what you plan to do with the character you've chosen. The other to explain why you've chosen this character. (i.e. What are your goals? Will you be doing anything different with the character than is usually seen?): I've played right around a 100 characters. Of all those different folks and different takes, Ollie is one of my absolute favorite characters I've ever played. He's seriously top three. I want to end this season with one character I loved.

Star City, CA
"So, Luthor's really dead?"
"That's what Oracle told me the other day."
Connor's halfway across the city, on patrol while I watch the waterfront from the roofs and wait on this stakeout to net results.
"You think it'll last?"
"Let me reel off some names for you, son: Superman, Batman, Supergirl, Dinah, and I. All of us died and all of us brought back to life. If we can come back, I'm sure scum like Lex Luthor will be able to crawl his way back to the land of the living. I just wish Luthor would have had the good sense to have died back when he was in office. Everyone talks about Obama, I'd have been real change you could have believed in."
"What would you have done, been the first president to get a lapdance in the Oval Office?"
"Please, you really think that hasn't been done already? Two words for you: Bill Clinton."
I see movement down below me, a car pulls up and parks by the front entrance.
"I think I got something here. I'm going offline, talk to you in a bit."
"Be careful. If you get in over your head, don't be afraid to call for backup. As much as it bruises your ego to hear this, you're not in your prime anymore."
"Thank you for the reminder, son. I'll let you know if I need any help. The Original and Greatest Green Arrow, out."
"Roger that. The New and Improved Green Arrow, out."
"Wiseass." I can't help but smirk as I say it. I cut the line and turn my attention to the car. A tall, lanky man in a trenchcoat steps out. Looks like there's some truth to what my informant told me. A month's worth of investigating is starting to pay off.
For the past three months, Star City junkies have been dropping dead from overdoses. The heroin they've been shooting up has been purer than anything they've ever had. The Star City PD has been working on it, but not like they should. As far as they're concerned, who cares if another junkie drops dead? Well, I care. I've never liked heroin...it's personal, I know what it does to people and families. I don't like that.
Despite pressure from City Councilman Oliver Queen, they're still dragging their feet and soft-pedaling the investigation. That's where the Green Arrow comes into play. An informant of mine says that the people who are pushing the new junk are getting it from some boat from Asia and store it on a warehouse out here on the docks. This is the second straight night I've been sitting on the waterfront, waiting on any signs. I think tonight I finally hit the jackpot.
The lanky guys walks down the rows of warehouses, oblivious to the shadowy figure watching him from above. I watch as he stops at a warehouse and unlocks the door, going into the building. There's no skylight, so I wait for close to a half hour when he comes back out the door, pushing a dolly stacked with wrapped packages. If I didn't know any better, they look like bricks of heroin.
I quietly pull out one of my special arrows out of the quiver and string it, pulling the bow back until the string is taunt. I aim and let it fly.
THWIP!
A boxing glove arrow cuts through the air and strikes the man in the back of the head. He stumbles forward and falls to the ground. I place my bowo on my back and leap from the roof landing on the ground beside him, pulling my sword and slicing into the packages on the dolly. Heroin pours out of the cuts and begins to pile on the ground. The courier is beginning to pick himself up when I place the tip of my sword on his pack, pressing just enough to barely break the skin."You got one of two options, buddy. Option one: You tell me where the heroin is coming from. Option two: I cut you until you tell me. The choice is yours."
I press harder, causing blood to begin running down his back.
"I don't know who is is, man! I never met 'em! All I know is the name!"
"Give me the name!"
"China White!"
I pull the blade away, shocked from what I heard.
"What did you say?"
"All I know is that it's a person called China White! Swear to God, that's it."
China White...that's a name I haven't heard in years. I thought she was rotting in some Asian prison, but I guess not. She's the one responsible for Green Arrow.....and now she's back.
Back in Star City, a ghost from my past.

Screen Name: War.
Character you would like to play (please include the color and font you plan on using to portray the character): Carter Hall | Hawkman
Powers and Brief Origin (provide at least two sentences) If you copy/paste this information from another website, link back to it, or it is considered plagiarism and is not allowed. :
About a thousand years after Vandal Savage (as the Pharaoh Cheops) had built the Great Pyramids the country of Egypt had declined. The Hyksos conquered Lower Egypt and founded the Fifteenth dynasty, ruled by a cruel Pharaoh and his even crueler high priest Hath-Set. There was rebellion however from Prince Khufu Kha-Tarr the latest in the long line of Hawk Avatars, helped by his true love a Hyksos Noblewoman called Chay-Ara who despised the cruelty of her own people. Khufu used a mysterious Ninth Metal to fashion a harness, he also learnt to control his flight by using special wings. The Ninth Metal was a gift from the Hawk God whom Khufu recognized as Horus.
In a desperate plan Chay-Ara allowed herself to be captured, Khufu then staged an attack where he made it look as if he was trying to kill Chay-Ara to stop her talking. He was captured and she then fed her captors counterintelligence telling them that she no longer trusted Khufu after he tried to kill her. It all worked. Chay-Ara gave the Pharaoh a rigged Ninth Metal harness, when he tried it on without the wings he disappeared into the stratosphere only returning to Earth then he took the harness and died on impact with the ground. In the confusion a band of rebels in Ninth Metal harness and wings attacked. Hath-Set mortally wounded Khufu with a Crystal Dagger before being cut down by Khufu's archers. With his dying words he cursed Khufu that they would meet once again on the cycle of reincarnation. Shortly afterwards Khufu died from his wounds.
In the beginning of the 20th century Prince Khufu was reincarnated as Carter Hall.
[FONT=Arial,]Hawkman can fly at great speed by means of his artificial wings and antigravity belt made of "ninth metal." The antigravity belt also enables him to lift enormous weights aloft. He wields ancient and medieval weapons from his extensive collection in battle and can communicate with birds. Hawkman is a superb hand-to-hand combatant. He retains unusual physical vitality even today, thanks to having absorbed temporal energy from the villianous Ian Karkull decades ago.[/FONT]

High above Washington DC...
Carter banked into a thight roll as dagger-like talons slashed just inches from his face. Gripping tight to the hilt of his mace he banked back up, twisting in the air and lashing out with fury. The heavy ball crashed into the long crimson snout of a beast and it roared agony as dark blood sprayed into the air.
To his left, he could the angry snarls of his companion and lover, Shiera as she battled with the monsters herself. Swinging her own mace, she crushed the bone running along the length of a dark leathery wing, causing the beast to roar its agony as it fell from the air.
"Carter, how the hell do dragons appear in the sky in this day and age?!" She bellowed, lashing out as she twisted and dove to avoid an eruption of flame that exploded from the throat of a nearby dragon.
"We'll find out soon enough, but for now, just keep hitting them!" Carter replied, his fist connecting with a maw that snapped far too close to his face for comfort. Grasping the stunned dragon by the neck he positioned himself above it and with a violent swing, crushed the spine and the base of the creatures skull. It fell from his grasp as he pushed away to face more of the swarm.
Far below them, bright lightning crackled from atop the roof of a nearby building. Carter spun and saw Shiera already banking towards it. "That's got to be the source! I'm going in!" She cried.
Hawkman dove himself, drawing a long dagger with his free hand and swinging his mace in the other. "Shiera, no! You don't know what it-"
From the rooftop a bright flash streaked through the sky and struck Shiera in the center of her chest. With a shrill scream she began to spiral towards the earth.
"SHIERAAAAA!" Hawkman cried, swooping towards his stricken love. Lighting streaked upwards again, but Carter saw it and rolled, the air next to him grew white hot as the lightning destroyed on of his wings. He too, gathered speed and plummeted, falling uncontrollably until he hit the ground with a sick thud.
His winged helm rolled across the ground and both of his weapons fell away from him. Dazed and confused Hawkman tried to ignore the agony searing up his left side where he already knew broken ribs and a useless arm were radiating their pain. A few feet from him lay Shiera, blood seeping from the croenr of her mouth, her body a twisted mess.
"Shie- Shi-era..." Hawkman spat, trying his best to crawl to her. Still, she lay unmoving. With a cry of agony, Carter dragged his own body across the dirt, his blood flowing free and warm and sticky down his own arms and chest. With a gargantuan affort he reached her side and pulled away her helm. Brown hair scattered around her bloodied face as her eyes flickered open.
"C-cart... ...er" she rasped weakly, between ragged shallow breaths.
"I'm here" he anwered. "Just lay still, we'll get you to Midnite... he'll fix you up".
"I'm dying Carter. I can feel it" she whispered.
Carter fought back tears as he dragged himself to his knees and pulled her crippled body to himself. "No, you're not. Just lay still, save your strength".
Weakly she reached up, touching his cheek and tried to smile. Ragged coughs spat more blood from her mouth. "It's okay. It's alright. We'll be together again. Somewhere, some day. Be strong for me Carter. I..." A rasping cough made her entire convulse in his arms. Carter gripped her a bit tighter. "...I love you" she whispered.
"I love you too" he whispered back, but as he looked down the light had faded from her eyes. Carter let the tears flow as he hugged her lifeless body close to him, his muscular frame heaving with sorrow. High above him, lightning crackled threatingly as the dragons circled. He saw the dark shadow of a man at the source of the deadly electricty looking down upon him.
Filled with rage and anger and sorrow Hawkman laid down the body of his love and collected his mace with his good arm. Unclipping the harness that held his useless wing he glared up at the man and spat a thick wad of blood to the ground.
"Blood for blood" he snarled.
Hey guys. I feel bad about just dropping Hal Jordan. I'm not looking to come back, but would I be able to make a single post wrapping up his arc for the season (and indeed, for the entire game before the reboot), without having to go through re-applying?
Dinah's ring isn't aligned with the Lantern corp. It's magic based from another... place and is sentient/holds a consciousness.
That's the short story anyway >.> I need to make her ring human again.
P.S. the blue ring was created before Brightest Day (in the comics and in the RPG)![]()
