Requesting Characters!

[sibyllant.livejournal.com]

It's been a while since we've done this, so — Merry Christmas, now let's make a case for the characters you are DYING to see at C&C.

I'll start: we should have the R A I N B O W   R A I D E R! His ~*space rock goggles*~ allow him to ride rainbows everywhere, or to bathe people in different color lights to affect their emotions. WHY ISN'T HE KICKING ASS AND TAKING NAMES IN BLACKEST NIGHT?? Goddamnit, DC! Read more about him. He can also drain colors out of people which is apparently like... idk, draining their powers... sort of... something, look, his powers make NO SENSE WHATSOEVER, let's not try to analyze them too hard.

Also do you think I should change this username? I don't know if I like it anymore.

CHARACTERS I WOULD LIKE:

More Gargoyles - Lexington, Broadway, Brooklyn, Demona, etc.
I also admit that an adult Lucy Gennaro/McClane would be plenty of fun for all, seeing as how she's a hardass.
Siryn would be interesting. As would Vanessa Carlyle. And if someone apps Victor Creed, Wade Wilson will hunt him like an animal and stab his f-ing face at every turn.
Also, MORE BADASS MOVIE COPS.

[wondah.livejournal.com]

AGREED ON BADASS MOVIE COPS.

Also, I want Hawkman. If we could bring in a Hawkman and get a Green Arrow and have proper banter I would be so happy. B)

ALSO I SHIP DINAH/DR MID NITE TOO OKAY

Him and Power Girl might be the only het ship I have for her also ...just because

ALSO? :

Steve Rogers
John Stewart (UGNHGHHH YES)
Billy Batson
Black Adam

And Deadshot

any of these and my god...just

mygod

I actually bought (haven't read yet) the issue of Doc Mid-Nite in Power Girl and I'm actually excited at the thought of that ship. BECAUSE PIETER CROSS IS SO DAMN AWESOME HE DESERVES THE GIANTEST BOOBS IN THE WORLD. And PG deserves a great f-ing guy. It's what makes Doc so fun to play - he's Batman-badass, but completely cordial, intelligent and engaging. YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A SURLY PISSANT BRUCE.

See, the Hawkman I'd app would not be Carter Hall. It'd be the Thanagarian Katar Hol from Hawkworld. That's why nobody wants him but me. He's half Hawk-hardass and half-bleeding heart liberalish sort - he comes from a planet full of assholes and is fascinated by concepts like "the pursuit of happiness." But he'll also kill a motherfucker doin' wrong, although he'll sometimes search for a better way. He's half alien, half Native American.

I've really wanted to try Deadshot for a long time, but I keep feeling like he should be able to interact with Deadpool. Although I might soon say 'fuck it' and app Floyd anyway, just because he's THAT AWESOME.

Okay, this is hilarious coming from someone who plays Donna Troy but HALF THE TIME I DON'T KNOW WHICH HAWKMAN I AM READING because of his history/etc so ... so I really need to read up more on him and snag issues he's in so I can differentiate!! ANY HAWKMAN IS GOOD OKAY.

Also you will glee at the Doc Mid-Nite and PG interaction. I swear it is SO CUTE and it makes a fantastic freakin' ship. And Pieter Cross is secretly shippable with just about every badass DC female to me. Secretly.

AND YES I really love how polite he is and HIS SENSE OF HUMOUR and he is just a total dork, but he's also one of those ridiculous INTELLIGENT PREP TIME HRNNN people and is a complete badassgghghgh

If I actually have a Doc Mid-Nite cheerleader, I'll be much more inclined to app him. So keep it up. :D

And I picked Katar Hol in part because of an awesome Hawkwoman Shayera Thal (not Hawkgirl) player I used to play with, but also because he was the first post-Crisis Hawkman, and his canon from Hawkworld until the Zero Hour mess and the start of Retconpalooza is fairly straightforward. Maybe I could find a niche for him here.

Godddd if you did Hawkman

I would app Gentleman Ghost, just to mess with and be awesome, because. No one is cool enough to play Hawkman anywhere else I play. ;_;

[wadewilson.livejournal.com]

As much as I love the Gentleman Ghost, I have to stress that I wouldn't be apping Carter Hall. Yes, I understand Hawkman continuity just enough to know there's a difference. :)

You should app GG anyway!

[is-fear-itself.livejournal.com]

ffffff I haven't read much of the new series anyway (the new Gentleman Ghost's resurrection is apparently tied into the convoluted crap of Cinnamon and all that that I honestly do not understand).

Which version would it be then? D: I thought GG was acquainted with almost every 'Hawk? --except...that weird one-off where he was alive and just a cat burglar.

[wadewilson.livejournal.com]

Katar Hol is the first Post-Crisis Hawkman. He's actually an alien from Thanagar who came to Earth with his partner Hawkwoman Shayera Thal in pursuit of the asshole shapeshifter who set him up to kill his own father and got him sent onto a prison island for ten years. The original series was called Hawkworld back in the early 90s.

Carter Hall at the time was an old 40s JSA holdover - they'd teamed up a few times, learned to respect each other - Katar's father was responsible bringing Nth Metal to Earth back in the dizzy and what-not, so there were some connections - but then they had a really crappy crossover called Zero Hour where the two got merged into one and it sucked and was lame and full of retcons and made Hawk continuity stupid and annoying for everybody.

I like Carter Hall, but I'm much more familiar with Katar. And I did a whole huge plot elsegame once that involved GG completely messing with Katar like gangbusters, but I don't think they really crossed paths, since GG was much more a Carter enemy thanks to the long history of reincarnation and what-not...

[is-fear-itself.livejournal.com]

Oh. Oh, man. I can't believe I didn't know any of that. ._. You learn something new every day...

Thanks for explaining it to me :3

[wadewilson.livejournal.com]

Ain't no thang. Hawks need explaining.

I'd recommend checking out the first three Hawkworld books if you can. The following ongoing wasn't bad either, but plagued by super-shitty art. Then after 40 some issues or something it became Hawkman, which gave him a kinda neat black costume and eventually tried to shove him into the Carter Hall mode and it got weird. But it started out with a layer of cool involving Hawkwoman actually working as a spy against Katar because of seditious suspicions against the horrible regime of assholes on Thanagar and yeah. There ya go.

Guys with maces and hawk helmets and wings are cool. Plus he has a punchy blade.

Rhhhoooooodddeeeeeyyyyyyy


I do want. ;-;

[wadewilson.livejournal.com]

That was basically a response to loving the Iron Man 2 trailer.

It'd be movie canon if I apped him... which is probably not as cool...
