The Golden Age (Superhero Roleplay OCC & Sign Ups)

[Cush Almighty]

Intro




"The Golden Age, That's what the new generation of superheroes deem it. We just called it the 40's, The first boom of Superheroes(and Villains) appeared around that time. The boom was World wide but mostly in America, The cultural melting pot. The spike in superpowered individuals was sometime at the beginning of the world war 2. I remember hearing about the terrifying things that came to light once the fighting was over. The Nazi War Machines, Super Soldiers, Death Camps and other atrocities committed by the Axis forces. America its self isn't excluded from these atrocities sadly, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, A means to a end. It was a different time back then, No cellphones, internet or video games the kids seem to love so much. It was a simple time even with men that could fly and rip metal apart like card board with there bare hands. Now I won't lie to you, At that point in time in America had it's social problems, Racism, Sexism, Homophobia and more. Society wasn't so accepted back then, People were excepted to stay in there place. This was the Golden Age, The push that was needed to make a change."

Guys, I'm gonna have to drop out of this. I just got a last minute business call and I have to go out of state, up into Nevada. Gonna be gone for almost a week and I won't have the time to get anything into this. I really was looking forward to participating in this, but unfortunately, while I put a good bit of effort into making my character, I am going to have to leave this thread. Sorry for the sudden notice, but I hope it doesn't affect you guys and gals too badly, if at all.

You all have fun with this, I''l just read along after I get back home, heading out this evening, wish me luck.

Hey, good luck and take care out there! I hope it's alright if you come back to this story some day. We can say Elaine went out of town like you did. Of course, it's not for me to say. But nice character building with you!

I might be up for that, depending on how far into this story you all get. If things don't get too deep by the time I get back, I may consider re-joining. But if it's gone farther than I'm comfortable with negotiating through, then I'll just hang around and read along.

	Name Witticism "Wit" Tenant Alias Gone Girl Age (04/01/1922) Gender Female Race Human with Draconic Bloodline Sexuality Primarily Heterosexual, but "Sometimes when I'm tipsy..." Personality Wit is persistent, obstinate, and often, downright stubborn. She will doggedly pursue a goal despite outside views or chances of success. She has a very solid work ethic but at the same time, possibly due to her heritage, she adores the finer things in life and has a tendency to be a hoarder. Wit isn't selfish per se, but she's very unlikely to lend out any of her possessions, and her home is something few are invited to. She does have a lighter side, however. Those she befriends get past her "Dragon Lady" demeanor and see the light in her eyes and her bright smile. Anyone whom Wit calls a friend can count themselves lucky, for a more loyal and fiercely protective friend you'll be hard to find. It's as if she counts her friends among her prized possessions, something to be lavished over and hoarded. Wit does everything she can every day to prove that she is just as good as any of the 'boys' but realizes even the image of Rosie the Riveter wasn't enough to make men realize that women can be just as capable as men. She's not a flag-waving feminist, however. Being assertive is fine – in moderation. She knows when to pick her battles and knows when to let the 'men-folk' do their thing and take a back seat. Interests Outside of work, she likes dancing, singing, and reading fiction and poetry. But mainly, it's work. Though now and then she will simply state she's not going to think about work for a few days and she'll stick to that as doggedly as she does her work. Skills Martial Arts, Proficient with Pistols and light Rifles, Detective and Forensics skills, as well as being a rather efficient at shorthand and typing. Wit is also surprisingly strong and fast for someone of her size and body mass, though not outside human limitations. Equipment Forensics Kit, a Vis wz. 35 Radom pistol, and a Double Derringer as a backup pistol.
	Power(s) Lucky Streak a Mile Wide – Wit is preternaturally lucky. Far more often than seems normal, fate just favors her. Attacks miss, or weapons fail, or sudden cover appears. This is not something Wit consciously controls, it just happens – generally the more severe the consequence, the more likely there will be some strange serendipity. It does seem to 'wear out' now and then. After any major catastophe is averted, she seems to be on her own or even a little cursed to balance the scales. Freeze! Ah, I didn't mean that literally – Wit's grandmother is an ancient silver dragon, with epic control of cold and ice. Wit's power is far more diluted, and so far, largely accidental. She's just begun to control her temperature control and ice generation powers, but more often it's a stress reaction – an Ice Shield suddenly protects her from an attack or the perp she's chasing suddenly slips on slick ice in front of them. That Look – Also due to her draconic heritiage, Wit can level a gaze at someone that usually stops them in their tracks it is so intimidating. She's had longshoremen cringing as if chastised by their mothers before. Once combat has started, however, this rarely works as more than a slight intimidation tactic. History Wit Tenant is the daughter of John Tenant, celebrated Secret Service agent during the Great War. Although it is considered highly unusual given her gender, Wit's passing of every test, mental, emotional, or physical that was given her eventually granted her entrance into the OSS, though many of her colleagues consider her simply a glorified secretary or a 'Mata Hari' type infiltrator only, when that couldn't be much further from the truth. When the OSS was dissolved in 1945 she wasn't able to get into its successor, the Central Intelligence Agency, but has instead opted for a position on the police force of Geld City with the rank of Detective. However, while the beat cops seem to respect her for having the chops to make Detective, most of the other detectives and higher ups think of her as the "Doll Detective" and see her position mostly as an honorary one. As a result, she rarely gets any really intense cases, instead being given 'soft' assignments for the most part, though she's capable of a lot more. Wit is aware that her grandmother is a dragon living in human form, but her only manifestations (she thinks, though her general competence and skills attest to a superhuman origin) of this are her mostly accidental use of her ice and cold control powers. Due to her frustration at being given the creampuff assignments by the GCPD, she adopted the moniker "Gone Girl" and began working off the books as a superheroine. She wears a mask and uses a different voice when working in this secret identity.

@Merlin I hope this passes muster. If I need to flush it out more, I can. :-)
