Digi, before you say anything, you already OKd this. If it's buried beneath a pile of PMs, I'm sure Martian still has it near the top of his inbox. People don't talk to him much.
Now...

Yes, Mongooses, this DOES get added to our post count.
All characters active in rps take place in IllumReality/Smurf World/Doop Land.
A character can be your own personal creation, OR an amalgamation between two existing characters whom do not exist in the same company.
Just post a bio of them, or a history, if you prefer story telling to list making.
We'll start with Martian copying and pasting a bunch of bios already made by posters.
I'd like a fusion of Jason Todd and the punisher.His parents were killed in a car crash when he was 5 years old and he was left to raise his 4 and 2 year old siblings,who were also killed by gang violence when he was 10.After that day he spent time trying to get gangs out of Crowrock(a new district of Gotham).During this time he became competent in street fighting and the use of firearms,as well as the tricks of the trade in all manner of lllegal activities.
He was on his own until he was Fourteen,when he was found by leatherdeamon(Batman+Daredevil) to be defending the Leatherhide(batmobile) from gangsters and was holding his own.Oridinally Jason Castle didn't want to help him,but when he saw that Leatherdaemons skills far surpassed his own,he decided to take advantage of him,deciding he would just get better than leatherdeamon and then ditch him.
Under leatherdeamons training his skills grew quickly,his mastery of street fighting and willingness to fight dirty combined with his new martial arts prowess made him a devastating H2H combatant,whilst his street smarts allowed him to outmanouver many opponents.
Everything was going fine until one day leatherdeamon found him in the act of killing a gang lord,despite the fact that he hjad always told him never to kill.After a heated Argument and a quick scuffle Bloodspiller(as jason called himself) was forced to throw an Experimental drug into leatherDeamons eyes,blinding him and earning his life long emnity.
Bloodspiller now works alone,he is one of the worlds most viscious Vigilantes prepared to do whatever it takes for punishment to be done.He is non-sanctioned by the government and is considered a criminal by most other heroes,but he doesn't care and simply sees them as posers who don't have what it takes to save the world.
Billy Blake was never on good terms with his parents. He was 17 and as most teenagers always at odds with them. So it was no surprise when he had quit speaking to them for weeks when they told him that they were going to be traveling the Netherlands as part of a historical research on viking culture. He was furious due to his having to leave his home and friends for 2 years to travel the cold arctic. The last thing he said to his parents before he had quit talking to them was that he hated the arctic and he hoped they all died there.
Ironically, only 3 weeks into there travel the Blake's were killed by unknown forces shortly after discovering what appeared to be an ancient viking tomb of some kind. This left only Billy in the arctic he was alone when he discovered his dead parents and was certain that he should die with them. He felt as thou it was his fault for having claimed to wish their death before. He was within the last stages of hypothermia when he came across a one hammer.
When the touched the hammer an old figure appeared to him. He claimed the was the Norse god Thor and he had chosen him to help humanity as his apprentice. The champion of the Asgardians. He told him the hammer he touched was his great weapon Mjolnir and it would come to him whenever he called it with it would come power of the Norse gods.
The power of Odin, the courage of Tyr, the justice of Forseti, and the strength and speed of Thor himself. With these gifts he could make amends for his past and bring the justice to the world it deserves. The old god told Billy all he need to was call Mjolnir's name and the hammer would come to him where ever he was and with it the power to make him Captain Thor.
As Captain Thor the 17 year old Billy must find the reason for his parents death and try to make amends with himself for what he said. As well as try to use his new second life to help make the world a better place. At the same time dealing with the facts of being a hormonal 17 year old teenager and knowing that gods and magic really exist and discovering the price that comes with wielding that much power.
EDIT: Oh, and I used Leatherdemon, Martian's Batman/Daredevil amalgam in mine. Don't sue!
Helena Darkholme
A.K.A Shadow
While there is no positive date to mark her birth, Helena was suspected to have arrived in this world around the turn of the century. She has been a survivor since the beginning- born literally on the streets of Gotham city, it is a miracle she lived.
It was a hard life, to be homeless, and there was more then one instance in Helena’s early life where she was forced to go hungry for days. She learned to steal as early as was conceivable. Thievery served as a way of life, a way to survive, until she was fifteen. That’s when everything changed.
Helena always saw this as just another tragedy in her life. She is thought to have been one of the earliest mutants to ever exist on earth. Her skin turned blue, her hair turned red. At first that was al. But, soon enough she found out that the changes in her appearance didn’t matter. Because she could change it.
The next five to ten years were spent mastering her abilities. She could get close to people, hear things she wasn’t supposed to hear. It was through following this path that she learned about The Clan. An underground, covert group of mutants that sought to commit acts of questionable legality in the name of mutant kind. Tired of living under false identities, locating The Clan and becoming an operative became one of Helena’s main priorities.
Helena rose quickly through the ranks of The Clan. Her inherently deceitful mutant powers, combined with her natural talent for both martial arts and weaponry proved to be invaluable to the organization. Having lived a hard life, she had few moral qualms over assassinating those she saw as evil. Dubbing herself Vengeance, she spent the next third of her current life (for she does not age), as a prime agent for The Clan.
Then, one fateful day, she returned to headquarters to find the lead-filled corpses of her comrades. It was told to her by the surviving agents that, as a recourse for being victimized over one of their latest missions, The Gotham Mafia had caught them off guard and killed about half of the members. In a flurry of hate-filled tears, Helena left to return to Gotham, from where she had been absent for over thirty years.
Set on her deadly mission, Helena slowly picked off members of the criminal organization. But she knew it was not enough. The span of influence that the Gotham Mafia held was overwhelming, and just picking off the extra members was not enough. She began a deeper, undercover infiltration of the mob. It was through this action that she came face to face with Leatherdemon.
Leatherdemon turned her life around. She cut off any connection with the mob or The Clan, and worked as his partner. She struggled, but gained progress with him. Killing people was now unusual for her. She no longer sought revenge. And they became a famous crime fighting pair. She dropped the name Vengeance and became known as Shadow.
Then came what seemed to be the last horrible event in her life. Shadow got one last shot at killing the head of the Gotham Mafia. And, if it were not for Leatherdemon, she would have killed him. After that, Shadow and Leatherdemon split. But they both still kept Gotham’s streets safe.
Richard Ben Parker was Leatherdemon’s first ward (later on adopted son), Darkweb.
The youngest in a family of acrobats in a traveling circus Richard found his family killed by a bugler gang when they were stealing money from the show that employed them. Later Leatherdemon, a lawyer by day, took him in as his apprentice. For many years, Parker served by Leatherdemon's side. Throughout Richards’s adolescence, he greatly admired Leatherdeman; as he grew older and spent more time own his own he eventually separated from Leatherdemon to continue his own identity.
Darkweb’s Origin
While preparing for a performance, Richard and his family find that the circus owner has been cheating the employees out of their fair cut and there is nothing they can do about it. Later he over hears buglers planning to steal from the owner. Richard sees this as the chance for his family to get the payback they deserved. When the thieves confront the owner he refuses, and that night young Parker watches in horror as his parents' parents were shot in the crossfire of the robbery. While many of the cities citizens watch on. Richard feels responsible, because he doesn't warn his parents in time.
During the tragedy, a dark figure attempts to rescues Richard and his family from the chaos but he fails and only manages to save Richard form the uncaring juvenile services system. Seeing a reflection of him in the teen. The dark figure turned out to be the one and only Leatherdemon and shortly after not only reveals his identity, but also makes the young orphan the offer of a lifetime the chance to train under him to reach his full potential and his training begins. He then commits to a life of a hero , driven by his family’s death and Leatherdemons words, "With great power there must also come great responsibility" This disarming mix of selfless obligation and self-recrimination brought about by his families death arguably makes up Richard moral core.
After his family’s death, he trained profusely with Leatherdemon and eventually used his own intelligence to produce a formula that would exponentially increase his strength and especially his agility. However this turns out to be a curse he wished he’d never brought on himself, since afterwards he only finds more events he could have helped to prevent rather than using the new found strengths to benefit his past inadequateness he only discovers additional amounts.
Richard also tried to help guide Bloodspiller but, he was not successful. After he blinded Leatherdeman Richard tracked him down and confronted him. They began to fight and Darkweb started to gain the upper hand and threadend to kill Bloodspiller but stopped remembering what vengeance had brought him before. Then Bloodspiller took his chance and jumped into the nearby river. Darkweb knew it wasn’t the end…
Hey MM, alright heres a few things I have farther developed his character with. He wears a costume similar to Nightwing's but he also has Scarlet Spiders wist web shooters with several different types of slots for a variety of defenses. Including Impact webbing, normal webbing, tranquilizer darts, and net web blast (like impact webbing but they expand upon impact putting the target in a sorta cocoon web). Also he would have a black costume with a full mask and the blue nightwing mask as the eyes for the mask. With a utility belt and a hoddy like scarlet spider too. All black with dark blue nightwing simbol for the eyes and webs on the hoody.
I also want to do a story about him growing up with Gwen Gordon (Gwen Stacy/Batgirl) and how after she found out about his being Darkweb, becoming a heroine aswell. Only to be brutly molested, raped and eventually killed right in front of Richard's eyes. Not for being a heroine but only for loving Richard. Her father Lt. George Gordon (Comissioner Jim Gordon/Captain George Stacey) had know about Richard's secert long before Gwen or Richard even had a clue he did and heald no ill will toward Richard after the loss of his daughter at the hands of the insane Jekyll (Joker/Green Goblin/Deathstroke). Thou, Richard refused to ever let any woman that close again for fear of that every happening to someone else that loved him.
Alright Kiddies,it's the big one....The origin of Leatherdeamon!
Bruce Murdock was the son of Thomas and Martha Murdock,his family was incredibly wealthy due to his fathers past career as a prizefighter and wise investments,and it was always drilled into bruce that his mind was the mightiest muscle of all.Once Bruce had reached the age of eight,his father had grown tired off the quiet life and returned to boxing,going on a winning streak until he was accosted by hired henchman off Leviathan an age old Warlord and ruler of immense wealth.He was told to take a dive,but he refused to compromise his morals and disappoint his family,he defeated his opponent and celebrated with his family.
Heading home,they made the fatal error of travelling through crime alley,where cornered by Leviathan men,Thomas and Martha Murdock were shot and killed,leaving Bruce as an Orphan.
Bruce felt grief as no other had known it and he vowed to spend his life preventing what had happened to him from happening to anyone else.At the age of twelve he left his hometown to train around the world,gaining vast knowledge of Criminology and forensics,as well as learning and mastering Dozens of martial arts.
Upon his return his first night was not a success,he was shot and wounded in action by a simple thug,and crawling into his office a bat flew in the window and knocked a copy of the bible onto the floor,it showed Lucifer, and Bruce knew what he had to do,he had to become more than a man,he had to become something more Fallen than an angel,he became"Leatherdeamon"
As leatherdeamon he guarded the streets as a fallen avenger for only a short time until he met Richard Benjamin parker,a child who had suffered a loss as great as his,and leatherdeamon took him under his wing,until the child was ready to help him guard the streets as "sparrow hawk the amazing boy wonder"
This partnership endured many years until Dick left to be his own man.Feeling abandoned it was no surprise that he was so quick to replace Dick with Jason Castle a impetuous youth with street smarts and a hatred of crime.Batman trained Jason as hard as he had Dick and in time gained a very adept partner however he had no idea of Jason's murderous thoughts on crime.
His life was turned upside down when upon discovering Jason torturing and killing a crime lord he was forced to try to bring his ward down.During the battle Jason threw an experimental drug into Leatherdeamon's face rendering him blind.Feeling as though he could no longer fight crime Leatherdeamon left his city behind travelling the world in search of a purpose.In Japan he met a blind Man named Cane who took him under his wing and Trained him for six months,allowing him to use his enhanced senses to compensate for his loss off sight.
Upon his return,Leatherdeamon wished to see if he truly had regained his lost abilities,hunbting down and challenging his old apprentice nightweb to single combat.Though nightweb was now a metahuman,Leatherdeamon found that his senses allowed him to predict his opponents every move.They fought to a stalemate,with leatherdeamon returning home to guard his city,mightier and darker than ever before.
*here's the start of a little story i was working on whilst waiting for smurf.*
Alright here is issue #1 of the Dark-web/Bloodspiller crossover
Darkweb looked around the alley in disdain,cursing his warning sense that had led him here it always was going off when he was close and it had led Darkweb to this spot where his handiwork was evident.
A man lay there on the ground,his chest sliced open by a violent hack while only 6 feet away another man lay there with his head twisted 180 degrees,it had been wrenched so violently that it's jaw had detached.His warning sense gave a faint ring as he felt a presence behind him. He spun around to see an unkempt brute,his chin caked with years of cheap booze and drool ,the man had a knife.He lunged at Darkweb who with his enhanced speed was able to catch the mans wrist and pull him up into the air before he had even gone 2 inches."What happened here" he asked as the man kicked and screamed like a baby the man spat at darkweb who responded by shaking him violently"What happened here!" he stopped shaking the man who paused momentarily before saying "this pretty thing came into our alley,all we wanted was a bit a fun then some weirdo with a red hood and a skull on his shirt drops in an offs me mates" Darkweb frowned disgusted by the man."Which way did he go" he asked,the man pointed and leaving them for the authorities he leapt off int the night.
Bloodspiller looked happily at his now unbloodstained shirt,which he had cleaned in a nearby flat after dealing with those scumbags"they won't be giving anyone anymore trouble,but they sure did squeal"he rmarked to himself.He had just don his outfit when a Banshee scream echoed throughout the night leaping out of a closed window Bloodspiller made a mental note to send a cheque to the owners of the flat before heading off in the direction of the scream.He traced the sounds to an alley,where it seemed that a lady was just standing there screaming blue murder for no apparent reason.He suddenly felt a hand grasp the back of his jacket,and all to familiar voice say"long time no see or should you being saying that to leatherdeamon?" Bloodspill was propelled forward with so much force that he flew into the wall on the other side of the alley and cracked the bricks before falling like a ragdoll into the bowels of the street.
Hopping down into the alley Darkweb told the lady that she could go now,and responding to Bloodspillers quizzical glance remarked "I love this city,you can pay women to do anything"he stood there casually as Bloodspiller picked himself off the ground,as they both knew that with his enhanced abilities Bloodspiller was no real threat "your good kid"Blodspiller said as he reached into his jacket and dropped a grenade between them "but"he said as Darkweb looked up and saw he had a gun in his hand "are you faster than a speeding bullet" BLAM!!
Armaggedon was a being created Millenia ago on a distant planet,It's very pupose was to be perfectly evolved.It would die and then be reborn with the horrific memories of it's death.This drove the beast insane,leaving it an unstoppable desire to permanently end life so that none would suffer what it had.
It's tortous life went on for years until during one of the trials it took refuge in a cave,descending into the bowels,as if called on by a mysterious entity,it found a sparkling green gem.Wary of this item,the beast was first tenative,however the gems insidous call prompted him to touch it.In a flash the creature found stength such as no being has ever known.He laughed as his true purpose and power where revealed to him,and his newfound confidence permitted him to stride forward onto the harsh world,an unstoppable force of Nature like the herald of Armaddegon.
His first act was to rend the flesh from his taskmaster's bones,using his new power to stride away from the planet on nothing at all.He journeyed through space for years,killing and slaughtering in the name of his cause,until he ran afoul of the Keepers(Guardians/Watchers)a millenia old race who's mental powers surpassed even his abilities.
He was imprisoned,and sent to a distant corner of the universe,slammed into a tiny blue planet,and buried beneath millions of tons of rubble.The creature was truly unstoppable though.It fought tooth and Claw to escape from it's shackles,breking to the surface millions of years later,ready to lay waste to that tiny blue planet,one now known throughout the universe as "Earth"......
People that we need to make bios for:
