Nero it is!
Sorry for the rushed sample post, I was in a bit of a hurry.
DC RPG Season VI Application
Screen Name: SenseiofCheese
Character you would like to play (please include the color and font you plan on using to portray the character): Nero (Century Gothic, Bold)
Powers and Brief Origin (provide at least two sentences)The Qwardians from the Anti-Matter universe were looking for someone to take down the new Green Lantern, Kyle Rayner. They had to find someone who had the same power of imagination as Rayner. Someone who was exactly like him, but at the same time his exact opposite.
They found Nero. Nero is a young man, an immeasurably mentally disturbed artist who has wasted the past several years of his life in a mental institution repeatedly drawing hideous and nightmarish in utmost detail.
Equipped with a Qwardian power ring, Nero can bring any of his thoughts to life in the form of yellow solid-light constructs, similar to Sinestro.
Group your character is aligned with (if applicable): None.
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?):
There is a serious shortage of villains in the RPG. After some digging around I found Nero and was interested enough to decide to pick him up.
My main goal is to give the heroes a worthy opponent, especially any Green Lanterns Nero might run into (Maybe even a certain Qwardian ring wielding hero).
Do you have an Instant Messenger? Which one, and what is your screen name?: [email protected] on MSN

Valnik Sar was running as fast as he could. The young humanoid was the sole survivor of the crew of The Machinus, a small trade-ship on a routine trip. But nothing about this trip was routine.
Sweat was pouring from Valnik's forehead, his legs aching, his heart pounding and his breath erratic.
With every step he took he felt it come closer. All he had to do was get to the control bridge and he would be safe.
That's all. Just the control bridge. Just a few more steps. He could do this.
Suddenly, a deafening roar came from behind him. Not a roar like that of any animal in existence, but a roar of unimaginable depravity.
The nightmarish sound grew louder, and louder, getting closer, and closer. He just had to get to the control bridge. He was almost there. He could....could.....he couldn't do this anymore.
He was tired. His body could not carry him further.
Valnik fell to his knees. His head fell into his hands, the reality of the situation dawning on him. Everyone was dead. Maimed, decapitated, devoured. Everyone he knew and cared for, brutally slain in front of him.
And then he felt the creature's breath on his neck.
Valnik did not dare face the monstrosity.
He shut his eyes, and prayed.
He prayed for peaceful rest. He prayed for a quick, painless demise.
He got neither.
His screams echoed through every corridor of the ship, as creatures from the pits of Hell consumed his flesh.
"You told me you could help me. The voices are still in my head. Why didn't you HELP ME!!!??" shouted Nero at his victim, whose body was nothing more than bones and torn pieces of flesh.
A yellow glow surrounded him as he raised his arm. An explosion of pure yellow energy ripped a hole in the side of the ship, and he floated out into space, accompanied by the monsters that wouldn't leave his mind.
KILL THEM
YOU ARE A MONSTER
WHY AM I ALIVE
MURDER THEM ALL
"STOP IT!!!! LEAVE ME ALONE!! PLEASE GO AWAY!!!"
he shouted into the vast blackness surrounding him.
The voices...the bad things....that had been haunting him for so long....they wouldn't leave.
Nobody could help him. They all said they would....but nobody could help him...
Except them.
"Earth. Home. They can help me. They can make the voices go away. They can save me. They WILL help me."
