Character Name: Booster Gold
Alignment (Hero, Villain, Walking the Line): Hero
Character Speech Color and Font (actually say what it is, like Blue Comic Sans): Comic Sans Bold, Gold
Powers and Abilities: Booster has no discernible powers of his own. However, his equipment will give him terrific powers, including superhuman strenght, flight, heightened durability, force field creation, energy blasts, enhanced hearing, and enhanced sight.
Character Origin/Backstory: In Gotham of the 25th century, a boy named Michael Jon Carter was born with his twin sister Michelle to a loving mother and a dead-beat dad in the poorer section of Metropolis. His mother doted on the twins, but their father was more interested in gambling and drinking than being a father.
Michael grew up as a bit of a showboat and a braggart, but was mostly a good boy. He and his sister got along famously, and the two were basically inseparable.
The boy became a football star in high school, and was determined to become a rich and famous pro, and save his sister and mother from their poor existence. Unfortunately, in his last game, Michael received a career ending injury.
The loss of his dream led Michael down a dark path, and he fell into the wrong crowd in his neighbor hood. While most overt crime had been wiped out of the city, some still remained, and Michael caught the eye of one of the remaining mob bosses in the city.
It was around this time that Micheal's mother fell victim to a debilitating disease. Now, Michael has been given a special assignment by the mob boss, with the stipulation that if he completes it, his mother will receive the treatment she needs.
What Makes This Version "Ultimate": Well, first of all, he's younger. Booster will only be about 19-20 years old in this reality, and much more of a reckless hero. Also his equipment will be a bit different and have a connection to the Marvel universe.
Also, I want to go into Booster's "great destiny" in a new way, and go more into that. It will play into his origin and hopefully be dragged out through the game.
I'd also eventually like to get him involved with the formation of the Teen Titans down the road.
What can you bring to the RPG: A fun character with an interesting story to tell, and a wealth of interaction possibilities.
Provide a short sample post as your desired character, in three paragraphs or more:
"Carter drops back, goes through his reads, the end comes around the left tackle and-Oh my! Carter gets hit low, and it looks like his leg buckled under the end. Oh no...the players are motioning for the trainers to come out and to bring the cart. This does not look good for Michael Jon Cart-"
The holoscreen in front of me goes off, and I turn to find my sister's silhouette back lit from the hallway light seeping into our darkened room.
"
How many times are you going to watch that?" Michelle says, her voice half filled with pity, half with disgust.
"
Don't have anything better to do," I respond groggily.
"
Yea, well, mom says hi," my sister says angrily, before slamming the door.
I look back and stare at the door for a few seconds before turning back to the holoscreen and flipping it to the replay yet again.
