Birthday: October 11th
Star Sign: Libra
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Moral Alignment: Good


[Personal Information]
Occupation: Self Made Billionaire and Head of Price Industries, Vigilante at Night
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Likes: Women, Archery, the people, his city, trick arrows (some of them are quite useful) sports (especially ones that depend on an individuals skill, such as archery, golf, etc.), the Vigilante life, competitions (as Head of a Company and as the Green Arrow, it keeps his mind sharp in both occasions).
Dreams: Jonathan dreams of reforming the Justice League. Whether he leads it or not doesn't matter to him
Dislikes: Criminals, his bow breaking, politics (doesn't mean he's not good at it), coffee, fast food.
Fears: Failure, Heights, clowns (don't ask why)
Darkest Secret: Jonathan Price was originally Jonathan Dupont until he got framed for crimes he did not commit. He managed to avoid jail time, but his father took away his trust fund and kicked him out.
Favorite Food: Jonathan sure does love steak. He also has developed a fondness for Oliver's Famous Chili
Favorite Drink: Earl Grey Tea
Least Favorite Food: Not a fan of Fast Food, especially greasy hamburgers
Least Favorite Drink: Coffee, he despises the drink
Loyalties: His own sense of justice/Legacy Initiative
Intelligence Level: Jonathan's intellect is outstanding. He not only received some of the best education known to the modern world, he also has a Masters Degree in Business Management and Computer Science, both which are used in his daily life as CEO of Price Industries.

He also has extensive knowledge of Biology, Chemistry, Advanced Mathmatics, Criminology, Criminal Justice, and can survive in the great outdoors for a long period of time. With an IQ of around 168, he is a genius.
Dominant Hand: Right
Strengths: One of his most commonly seen strengths is his skill with a bow. Having been training with it since he was around 5 years old, he has become an archer that can match Oliver Queen in skill.

Jonathan also had trained hard on his physical fitness through strength training, flexibility training, parkour and gymnastics, martial arts, and even Yoga. He is at peak physical fitness and has knowledge in Muay Thai, Savate, Judo, Capoeira, and good old fashioned Boxing.

But his greatest strengths are his mind and his mouth. Jonathan is a genius, and although he isn't arrogant about it, he does know when he is several steps ahead of somebody and will let them know of this. He has read Sun Tzu's Art of War after all. He also has a tendency to snark, and uses his wit to piss his enemies off enough to drop their guard and give him an advantage.

Weaknesses: Jonathan is only human. A very well trained, quick, agile, and dangerous one, but ultimately human. And as such, he is considerably more squishy.

As much as he is well versed in Trash Talk, it can get him in trouble if he uses it on the wrong person without preparations.

He also a crippling fear of clowns because of an episode of his early life he doesn't want to talk about.

But Jonathan's greatest weakness is his fear of failure. He will do everything in his power to succeed in both his civilian and vigilante duties, even if it puts his own life at risk.
Cherished Items:

Oliver Queen's Bow: When the original Green Arrow disappeared, Jonathan was given a map that lead to one of his secret bunkers. Of the many pieces of equipment he found, one of them is Oliver Queen's own bow. Having already been an archer before putting on the hood, this and Oliver Queen's last words inspired him to continue his Legacy.

Oliver's Quiver and Gimmick Arrows: Another of Oliver Green's possessions is his quiver and a set of his gimmick arrows. Although Jonathan has since created his own, he keeps them in a case like they are museum pieces, especially the infamous boxing glove arrow, which he finds especially funny.

Philosophical/ Social Viewpoint: Jonathan believes that those with great skill, money, or both, should do whatever they can to use what they have to better society. It's what drove him to continue Oliver's legacy as the Green Arrow: he possesses both.

He also believes that it's his responsibility to do whatever he can to not kill the criminals he apprehends. This is due to the idealistic view that they can be swayed away from the criminal life and be model citizens again.

Religious Viewpoint: He keeps religion separate from his dealings as the Green Arrow. As Jonathan Price, he is considered to be a devout Christian.

Romantic Viewpoint: It sucks to be a hero sometimes. Everyone you think you are in love with tends to be targeted by your enemies. Even so, this doesn't really stop Jonathan from making more than a few passes at women.

If he ever does find love, he wants to be damn sure they can hold their own against any evil forces after them.

Personality
Jonathan is a complex guy. The man you normally see is funny, smart, sophisticated, and is easy to get along with. You'll never have a better friend than him. He is also very nice and polite, a true gentleman and scholar. You would much prefer to be friends with him than be an enemy.

For all of this, even though he has money, smarts, and influence, he is surprisingly humble about it. But he does have his flaws. He can be quite hot blooded when it comes to enemies hurting the people he loves, which can blind him and leave him vulnerable. He hates failure and will do everything he can to not fail. Depression sets in if he does. When he does have an idea for a new gadget or really needs time to himself, he will hole himself up in his own lair for hours at a time. And finally, he is the kind of guy that thinks everyone has a chance to turn away from selfish and/or evil actions and as such, he has a no killing attitude to crime fighting, unless he has to. Even then, it's a very, very last resort to him.


Biography
Jonathan Dupont had it all. Money, looks, smarts, and was on the fast track to going to the best schools and inheriting his father's company. His father, Micheal Dupont, was originally from France, but he came to California to expand his business overseas. He met Georgia Elaine while he was there, and they quickly married and had a child. Micheal wanted his son to be as well educated as possible, and so Jonathan was schooled in everything. Science, Mathematics, History, Philosophy, he had all sorts of private tutors. But what he was really interested in was the arts of Archery and the martial art Savate (specifically Savate de reue, which is the more practical self defense form of Savate).

But things took a turn for the worst for the young heir. Some of Jonathan's friends were involved in illegal activities as a way to rebel against their stuffy upperclass parents and they roped Jonathan in, taking advantage of his naivete and willingness to help. But when the cops showed up, they ditched Jonathan and he was arrested. Although he was acquitted of all charges, his father didn't take it too well. His trust fund was revoked except for a small amount and he was kicked out of the house. Jonathan was on his own.

With his own small apartment and a minimum wage job, Jonathan struggled through his college years to obtain his Bachelors Degree in Business Management. It was his own study into Computer Technology that jumpstarted the beginnings of his own company, and the beginning of his new life. So he left his old life behind by changing his name. Jonathan Dupont was now Jonathan Price, CEO of Price Industries.

Improving his Bachelors Degree into a Master Degree, Jonathan continued his physical training in his spare time. Along the way, his business grew and he made friends with other CEO's. But his relationship with Oliver Queen was what would ultimately define his future. He thought the business dinners and trips to parties and the theater was all so Oliver can get to know the younger CEO, but ultimately he was wrong. When Star City was destroyed by an unnaturally powerful earthquake, Jonathan received a map to an unknown location, which turned out to be a secret bunker of the Green Arrow, who unmasked himself as Oliver Queen. And he wanted Jonathan to continue his legacy. Jonathan accepted and stepped up his training.

2 years afterwards, things were looking good for him. Price Industries was a big company rivaling Wayne Enterprises, Jonathan Price is a major celebrity in Coast City and the entire United States, and there were talks of a new Green Arrow prowling the streets, carrying on the legacy the original left behind. A new age had begun.



[Relationship Information]

Friends:
Taliana Lance | Legacy Initiative | Close Friends

Relationship Explanation: Taliana was Jonathan's close friend ever since they were kids, but when they got into college, Jonathan become a bit distant from her. He had no idea she inherited the Legacy of Oliver's Lover, the Black Canary, nor does she have a clue about his identity as the Green Arrow.

○ Anthony Mitchell | Legacy Initiative | Close Friend

Fellow CEO of Wayne Enterprises, Anthony Mitchell and Jonathan Price met when Jonathan offered to help Anthony's company upgrade their technology a bit.

[Weapon Information]

Jonathan's Bow: After his first couple of outings as the Green Arrow, and subsequent soul searching, Jonathan created his own version of Oliver's bow. With similar perimeters as Oliver's, the only difference between the two is the shade of green, with Jonathan's being more of a forest green color, and the fact he has controls on his bow to rotate the quiver to pick out which arrowhead he needs. It also came with a detachable sniper scope, in case Jonathan had to make a really long range shot.

Jonathan's Quiver and Arrows: This is what separates him from the original. His quiver has a more high tech feel to it. Completely mechanical, operated by controls on his bow, Jonathan can switch arrowheads at will to suit whatever task was needed. The maximum capacity the quiver can hold is about 75 arrows, and he always has on hand standard, explosive, and zipline arrows, along with (as a homage to Oliver) one infamous boxing glove arrow, which is housed in a special section of the quiver labeled "Emergency Use Only". Other arrows Jonathan may have on his person include:

Quick Drying Foam Cement Arrow: When you just have to restrain somebody, the arrowhead is more like a cylinder that, when it reaches the target, explodes and coats the foe in a foam that hardens into cement, basically rooting them in place.

Flash Grenade Arrow: This is a customized trick arrow equipped with an incendiary tip. It is one of several gimmick weapons utilized by the heroic archer known as Green Arrow.

Greek Fire Arrow: This was a customized trick arrow equipped with a tip that could inject a perpetually burning stream of fluid into a target. It was one of several gimmick weapons utilized by the heroic archer known as Green Arrow.

Laser Guided Arrow: Utilizing a small laser attached to his glasses, Jonathan can turn one of his arrows into a guiding arrow that will unerringly follow whatever he tagged with the laser on his glasses. He usually only uses these when he needs something to explode without risking himself. This is a specially made arrow as it has little engines attached to propel the arrow farther.

Cluster Arrow: Though it looks like a large cylinder with fletching, this is actually one of Jonathan's finest creations. Usually fired in a high arc, at the zenith of the arrow's ascent, the casing splits open, reveal multiple arrows stored within. Most of the time they are either standard arrows or explosive arrows meant to either corral a target to somewhere he wants them to go or to blow up something that one normal explosive arrow can't do. He has to carry this special arrow separately, as the total package is too big to fit in his quiver. One Cluster Arrow equals 6 standard or explosive arrows.

Caltrop Arrow: A hollow shaft and cylindrical arrowhead, filled with many tiny beads. When the arrow impacts a surface, doors on the arrowhead open, spilling the beads on the floor. The arrowhead sends a spark through the ground, which activates the beads, which then sprout many small spikes. Caltrops are meant to hobble an opponent by piercing through their feet, making walking or running difficult.

Canary Cry Arrow: Among the many things he found in Oliver Queen's secret bunker, Jonathan found the schematics and parts needed to fashion a more aerodynamic version of Black Canary's Canary Bombs, devices she used when her own powerful scream was not working. These arrow use nano acoustic technology to project her famous Canary Cry to stun or do serious damage to whatever the sound waves hit.

Oil Slick Arrow: Basically an arrow with a container of an oily substance as the arrowhead, when their arrow is fired into the ground, the casing splits open, spilling out the oily contents that makes the terrain around the spill very slippery to walk on. The substance is flammable.

Tranquilizer Arrow: A tranquilizer dart as an arrowhead, it is usually filled with enough sedative to knock out a human.

Knockout Gas Arrow: An arrow with a slit at the end. When it hits a wall, it releases gas that will knockout nearly anyone that breathes it in, unless they wear a gas mask, or is immune to such effects.

Ultraviolet Arrow: A special arrow used to harm vampires and other creatures of the night, it is basically an arrow with a glowing arrowhead. The glow is ultraviolet light, harmful to vampires and other undead and potentially lethal if it hits the target. Jonathan doesn't even know how Oliver came to possess such arrows

Other Weapons and Equipment:

GA-2 Goggles: Jonathan originally wore sunglasses to conceal his identity, but he knew he needed better. And that's where these goggles came in These new goggles helps to protect his identity even better than his sunglasses could, especially in combination with his signature hood. Made out of ultralight and strong materials with a bit of titanium, the goggles are almost guaranteed not to break. They comes with infrared and night vision modes, enhanced zoom for long range sniping, wind direction and speed sensors, auditory sensors and earplugs (to protect his ears against his own trick arrows), and sonar. The small laser that was on his old sunglasses is on these goggles. The lens are also able to go completely black to protect his eyes against flashbangs. It also had a couple of defensive mechanisms in case anyone tries to take it off. Anyone that tries to pick up the goggles will be shocked and if anyone tries to use the goggles, it will automatically shutdown if Jonathan Price is not the one operating it.

Modified Combat Armor: Modeled after Batman's in terms of materials, it is made of reinforced Kevlar and a small percentage of Titanium, making it bullet-proof resistant to many of the typical dangers Jonathan goes through (falls, impacts, explosions, etc.) while being flame retardant and insulated. It includes reinforced gloves and boots to rebound the impact of punches and kicks and is flexible enough to allow full mobility while providing all the protection he needs.


[Ability Information]


Acrobatics: Jonathan is an expert in acrobatics, and often uses this skill while evading enemy fire. His skill in this area is almost as good as Oliver himself.

Archery: Jonathan was a good archer before he realized his Legacy, but once he trained himself past his limits and inherited Queen's legacy, he became an archer of almost no equal. He has done at least a couple of Oliver's famous tricks, including slicing a water drop as it leaves the tap, shoving an arrow down a gun barrel, split an arrow in two, and knock coins of various sizes out of the air.

Chemistry: Jonathan creates his own arrows, even the ones that require complex chemistry, such as his quick drying cement arrows, explosive arrows, Greek Fire arrows, and others.

Electronics: Jonathan is at least skilled enough in this field to upgrade his own technology when needed

Cooking: Among many of the things he has inherited from the Green Arrows legacy is his ability to cook. He even knows how to make Oliver's infamous chili.

Martial Arts: He is no slouch in close combat, possessing knowledge in Judo, Muay Thai, Capoeira, Boxing, and Savate, among other styles. Though not quite up to Batman levels of proficiency, Jonathan can hold his own against even some of the deadliest masters.

Hunting: Jonathan is a very patient and cunning hunter. He supplements his hunting prowess with his criminology background, so that he would be proficient in hunting the deadliest game: Man, specifically criminals.

Swordsmanship: Jonathan also knows how to wield a sword, though he prefers sword that are of European design.

Staff Wielding: Another thing he differs from Oliver is his ability to proficiently wield a staff, after reading about the legends of Robin Hood, who was also Oliver's inspiration.


[Weakness Information]


Human Conditioning: No matter how hard he trains, he's still human, still mortal, and can die if wounded fatally.

Fear of Clowns: He also has a fear of clowns due to an incident in his childhood he would prefer not to talk about.

Fear of Failing: His biggest weakness is his fear of failure. He worked hard to live up to the legacy he inherited, and fears failing to uphold Oliver's deeds.

Trash Talking: Although he can make people incredibly mad with his trash talking, sometimes he can take it too far and get himself hurt by the now angry opposition.

Wanted Legacy/Villain: Green Arrow Legacy
RP Sample:
Night fell on the streets of Coast City, streets lamps providing the only illumination. In darkness is where the violent and criminal parts of the fair metropolis comes out. Only the strong or incredibly rich and intelligent survived, and they would do anything to further their own agenda, even hurt innocent people. And if you were at the wrong place at the wrong time, you could seriously be hurt. Such was the problem of one middle aged man, who took a wrong turn down an alleyway and was now cornered by no less than six thugs.

"Hey man, how about you hand us that bag you have," said the obvious leader of this gang, "You don't want to be sent home in a casket now do you?"

What he was talking about was the small bag the man carried in his hand. He shuffled inside of it for the contents and pulled it out, opening the box to reveal a diamond ring he was planning to give to his wife for their anniversary. The other thugs snickered as he recoiled in fear for his life, "Please just take it. It was for my wife, just take it. But don't hurt me!"

The leader of the thugs took the ring and looked at it for a little bit, then reached onto his belt and pulled out a .44 Magnum, aiming the gun at the unfortunate man with a sneer on his face, "Sorry, can't have you mouthing off to the police about us."

A faint whistling could be heard and the next thing he knew, the lead thug grabbed his hand in pain, dropping both the ring box and the gun. Every single one of them looked straight up to see who shot their leader and each of their eyes widened. For even in the darkness, they could see the faint colors of green on a silhouette perched above them on a roof. Blond hair, striking sapphire blue eyes, but the rest of his face was covered by a mask of some kind. In his hands, he clutched a forest green bow, and they knew the moment he was drawing that bow back, they were in trouble.

"Party's over," he said with a taunting, yet stern voice as he loosed the projectile. It dug into the ground and instantly vents on the head spewed out thick grey smoke, filling the alleyway and cloaking him from their sight. Every single one of them were now fearing for their lives, including the innocent bystander, who could only hear the sound of breaking bones, thugs crying out in sudden pain, bodies hitting the ground hard, and what sounds like a taser going off. Then there was a bone chilling silence, and when the smoke cleared, every single thug was on the ground, in various states of consciousness. The mysterious man in green however was still standing, unharmed save for a small slash on his shoulder from a lucky knife swing. He walked over to where the magnum and small ring box was dropped and crouched, picking one of the items off the floor, then looked towards the bystander and stood up.

The next thing he knew, the mysterious bowman had kneeled in front of him, presenting the box to him with a smile on his face, "I believe this belongs to you," he said, taking the man's hand and putting the box in it. The middle aged man could tell this archer was a much younger man,but more than that, he saved his life.

"Thank you sir," he finally said as the archer helped him onto his feet, "You just saved my anniversary!"

"It's what I do," said the archer, "But what you need to do is call the police. And an ambulance. These thugs are going to face some hard time. I however have to leave, there are other people that need my help."

The man watched as the mysterious bowman leaped onto a fire escape and scaled it back up to the roof and he couldn't help but ask, "Who are you?"

The archer stopped, then looked back at him, his blue orbs could be seen in the moonlight, even under the goggles he used as a mask. He then gave another smile and answered, "I have many names. The Emerald Archer and Night Ranger are two of them. But my most common name is.....the Green Arrow."
