[General Information] Name: Jonathan Price
Nicknames: Mr. Price, Trickshot, Green Hood, Arrowlad (as a Joke)
Titles: The Green Arrow
Age: 22
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: He sure loves the Ladies
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 has two goals: to be known as the greatest archer in the world and prove himself worthy of Oliver Green's legacy, and to make his company one of the greatest in the world.
Dislikes: Criminals, his bow breaking, politics, coffee, fast food.
Fears: Failure, Heights, clowns (don't ask why)
Darkest Secret: His first outing as the Green Lantern was a failure: he failed to prevent a robbery from occurring and tried to chase down the criminal responsible, killing the man when he was only trying to stop him. He almost gave up on crime fighting until he heard about the Green Arrow disappearinf on TV. An epiphany struck him and he decided to work harder to be as good, if not better than Oliver. But despite this, he still has that gnawing fear of failure, that he would ******** up like his did in his first outing.
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
Intelligence Level: Despite Jonathan's goofy tendencies, the man's pretty smart. He possesses a bachelors in Business Management, and has taught himself other fields of study, including Criminology, Chemistry, and Computer Technology. Though some if it could be attributed to Oliver's past experiences manifesting as epiphanies. If we're going to put a number here, His I.Q. would he at around 146
Dominant Hand: Right
Strengths: The guy is a sure shot with a bow, whether it's his own custom made bow or one he just happens to pick up out of d**k's Sporting Goods. He is also smart, with at least one Bachelors degree and knowledge enough to unofficially possess several more.
But just because he focuses on shooting people with a bow, doesn't mean he sucks at melee. He has martial arts skills, including a black belt in judo, tae kwon do, and muay thai, and knows his way around a sword (incidentally, he prefers European blades). To also drive home the similarities to Oliver Queen and his inspiration, Robin Hood, Jonathan is also pretty skilled with a staff. He is also an accomplished acrobat.
Weaknesses: Though he has trained in similar skills as Batman (and whoever holds his legacy), he's not as dedicated to those fields, preferring his archery skills. His hot blooded tendencies also can get him into a bit of trouble.
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 found the possessions he left behind. One of these was his bow. Having already been an archer before putting on the hood, this was what inspired Jonathan to continue Green's 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.
Personality
Before he picked up Oliver Queen's bow, quiver and arrows, Jonathan was a goof. He was shallow, he was apathetic, and just didn't care about the problems his home town had. After all, he may not have been rich, but he didn't have to deal with the criminal underbelly or what the poor had to go through. All he had to worry about was school.
When he inherited Oliver's legacy, his personality changed a bit. No longer the shallow young boy who cared only for himself, Jonathan became a kind, charitable young man, a self made billionaire who gives money to the poor on many occasions. He's honest, hardworking, selfless, and has inherited Oliver's Queen wit. Though his wit deals more with pop culture references or a bit of sarcasm.
As the Green Arrow, he shows a slightly more hotblooded side of him, passionate for those he protects and towards those he dispenses justice towards. Sometimes, his hotblooded side can get him into a lot of trouble, but a quick wit, and sometimes the right arrow, can get him out of the situation he's in.
When not running his company or fighting crime, he dedicates some time to his training. One must always keep his brain and body sharp when fighting crime. This can lead him to be a bit self absorbed when he's reaching a breakthrough on a tough case.
Biography
Jonathan Price was a middle class boy growing up in the suburbs of Coast City. As a kid, Jonathan didn't really care much for all the troubles in the world, as he was more worried about getting through school, going to college, and getting a good, well paying job. The only superhero he actually idolized was the Green Arrow, and it was his skill in archery that inspired Jonathan to take classes in the use of the bow. But otherwise, to say the boy turned a blind eye to the troubles of Coast City would be a big understatement.
Then things went terribly wrong in Coast City during Jonathan's freshman year at UCCC. In the wake of Hal Jordan's disappearance, the crime rate was skyrocketing, and after hearing about his sister getting robbed, Jonathan was finally motivated to do something about it. Fashioning a makeshift Green Arrow Costume, Jonathan took to the streets to fight crime in his neighborhood. But a botched robbery bust had him make the biggest mistake in his life: he accidentally killed the criminal he was chasing after failing to prevent the robbery.
Grief stricken, Jonathan almost gave up on his crimefighting idea, until he witnessed his idol disappear on the 6 o'clock news. An epiphany struck him then. To become a better crime fighter, he must train harder to be worthy of the mantle. The Green Arrow wouldn't of given up so easily. So he intensified his training, night and day, in archery, martial arts, everything he figured he needed to become a crimefighter like his idol. He studied hard, training himself in both body and mind until he graduated at the age of 22.
Flash forward a couple years, and he returned as the New Green Arrow. He founded Price Industries, a rapidly growing company specializing in computer technology, and crime rate was slowly going down thanks to Jonathan's actions. And he was only just getting started. [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.

Relationship Explanation
[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 grappling hook arrowheads, 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.
Jonathan has many other kinds of arrows, but he only brings them when he needs them. Otherwise, they are either in the basement of his mansion or in a backpack he carries around, ensuring he is prepared for many, many different situations.
Other Weapons and Equipment:
Sunglasses: Instead of the Domino mask used by Oliver Queen, Jonathan opts for sunglasses instead to protect his identity. A technological marvel, these stylish shades have several different vision modes: regular, nightvision, and heatvision while also containing a small laser on the rim. [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 sunglasses with nightvision and heatvision while also installing a small laser guidance system.
○ 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, and Taekwondo, 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: Inherited from Oliver's Legacy, 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 Again: But 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.

Wanted Legacy/Villain: Legacy of the Green Arrow
RP Sample:
This is Coast City Evening News with Maureen Sheffield and Brian Span. Our top story tonight: another one of our world's greatest heroes has mysteriously gone missing. Oliver Queen, otherwise known as the bow wielding hero, the Green Arrow, has not been seen since departing from Queen Industries earlier this evening. No one knows where Mr. Queen has disappeared to, but wherever he is, the city of Seattle wishes for their hero to return.
It was that headline that changed Jonathan's life forever. The moment his idol, the Green Arrow, disappeared off the face of the earth. He had tried to be Oliver Queen without having a single clue on what he was doing or how to go about being a hero. Or the consequences of his rash actions. It costed a man his life. A life he never wanted to take. Jonathan considered giving up his goal. To clean the streets of Coast City and bring it's criminals to justice. To leave it to another, more capable man to nock the arrow and let it fly. But after that news broadcast, all thoughts of giving up turned to thoughts of improvement. Oliver Queen wouldn't of given up as easily as he almost did. The original Green Arrow didn't survive for 5 years on a deserted island to come back to being a wimp in society. No, he trained hard, fought hard, and shed blood, sweat and tears for the city he loved.
So to fully follow in his hero's footsteps, Jonatha began to improve himself. He trained in archery until he was the best marksman in the world. He studied under various martial arts masters in the arts of tae kwon do, karate, judo, and other forms. He pursued degrees in criminology, business management, chemistry, technology, and computer software. He researched everything I could about Oliver's tactics, his weapons, his exploits. Jonathan knew the Green Arrow as well as he knew himself. No obstacle stopped him for long.
When he found Oliver Queen's bow and arrow on the shores of Coast City, he knew his course. He took them home, and made his own version of Oliver's famous gear, as a homage to his idol and to find ways to improve upon it. He even made his costume with the same goals in mind. The quiver on his back? A technological marvel. The bow in his hands? An ancient art taken to it's highest potential. The arrows he nocked? Messages of justice he send to every villain that is in his sights. He is his own superhero, yet he was also Oliver Queen reborn in a time that needed heroes like him the most.
His name is Jonathan Price, head of Price Industries, and he is the Green Arrow.
Are you a fan of the series, are you familiar with this character? I am familiar with Oliver Green and his backstory, and find him an interesting character.
Do you promise to be as active as possible if we grant you this privilege? I will do all I can to be active
