This is sort of based on another RP I'm involved in off-Gaia and thought it'd be cool to do here! If anyone is interested in participating in an all original story based on original characters, please post your reply.

The group involved is called Crimson DAWN (Destruction and Warfare Neutralization), formed by a woman named Dorothy Sinclair. Secretly backed by the government and privately funded by Dorothy herself and others, she dispatches her team of heroes to take care of terrorist threats and aid in neutralizing threats to everyday civilians.

IF you are playing a comic book character you may retain their personality, their powers and how the obtained them (if applicable), but you must create a new background or history for them. I'm requesting this so that the character can fit into the storyline without history, story, and characterization problems.

The storyline takes place approximately six months after the Infinity Gem crisis (I'm not entirely sure if this is strict canon--this is what happened in the off-Gaia RPG). Several major cities have been destroyed or majorly "injured" while the heroes from the X-Men and other heroes battled various villains working for the Black Queen (Selene Gallio). The Black Queen and her "minions" were defeated and the gems were sent out, deep into outer space by Superman himself.

However, due to such devestation to several cities around the globe President Lex Luthor and other like-minded individuals have brought up the issue of not only a Mutant Registration Act but also a Hero and Villian Registration Act.

During the worldwide battle six months ago, Crimson DAWN lot vital key members of their group and in the aftermath Dorothy and her second-in-command, Victoria Wells (aka Silver Cane) have been furiously recruiting and training mutants or anyone Dorothy thinks will be useful to their cause. The reason why Dorothy is searching more heavily for recruits is she sees the possibility of heavy repercussions if the Registration Acts are voted on.

I think that's all the pertinent information for now.

Real Name: Victoria Wells
Age: 33
Alias: Silver Cane
Occupation: Teacher, Hero
Citizenship: United States
Place of Birth: Unknown
Known Relatives: None
Group Affiliation: Crimson DAWN (Destruction and Warfare Neutralization)

Abilities: Knowledgeable in martial arts, specializes in the use of staves and the bo. Her preferred weapon is a retractable staff or “cane” of DAWN design.


To summarize from what I vaguely remember (I lost my original file on Silver Cane) Victoria’s adoptive family sent her to boarding school so as not to deal with her. At school she was considered very unwelcome due to her “uniqueness.” Born deaf and mute, Victoria was treated very badly by her classmates, who caused rising resentment and anger in the young redhead until a new martial arts instructor saw the benefit of teaching Victoria and giving an outlet to the young woman. The instructor quickly became Victoria’s mentor and best friend. Upon her graduation, Victoria obtained her teaching certificate and taught a small group of deaf or mute children at a private school.

Shortly after joining the school, she was contacted by Dorothy Sinclair of the organization, Crimson DAWN to work for them based on Victoria’s knowledge in personal combat and her gift of having a photographic memory and telepathy. After meeting another team member by the name of Black Jack, their relationship grew to a point that it was dangerous to their job so the two parted ways until Jack rejoined the team to help in the Infinity Crisis where he gave his life to help the team in Australia. Grief stricken from the incident, Victoria temporarily left DAWN for a month until Dorothy requested her presence back onto the team.

Up until a year and half ago.

Lucius' quiet life suddenly boomed into instant fame when his wife was murdered in a robbery attempt on their house. Audrey was stabbed several times trying to fend off the robber, who got away and was never found.

After six months went by with no new evidence, Lucius decided to take justice into his own hands and finally tracked down the murderer, taking care of the guy. Since then, Lucius has pursued justice for others as The Executioner.

Real Name: Tai Mizuki
Age: 18
Alias: None, he’s a newb ^^
Occupation: College Student
Citizenship: United States
Place of Birth: Japan
Known Relatives: Akira Asai (Mother), Masako Asai (Grandfather), Anko Asai (Little Sister)
Group Affiliation: None

Abilities: Standing 5’8”, the slender bodied boy can throw a bone shattering punch. He’s unnaturally strong, not lifting a bus in the air with one hand strong, but he if he struggled he could probably do so with a car. This also makes him fast, nothing too special though.

Tai comes from a typical family in Japan, living at a conveniently placed house near the shrine his grandfather tends. His mother is a secretary at one of Japan’s large industry buildings. His late father was like him though, different. He was strong like his son, but could also take the appearance of any human he’d ever had physical contact with, thus he made a living by thievery. He was killed though, on one of his “missions”. Thankfully for his family he was wearing a different face at his time of death. Still, Tai knew everything of his father, and swore that he’d bring honor back to the family name, by getting revenge on the superhero that murdered his father, and by living a better life.

Currently he is attending college in the United States with a scholarship. He was going for a medical degree, as his mother wished him to. His dreams were different though, and he’d seek those when the sun was down.

Name: Imbri Langer, or Bri
Alias: Lazarus
Occupation: Ex-hero/sound technician
Citizenship: United States
Place of Birth: Ireland
Known Relatives: None mentioned, although it's most likely that they're alive.
Group Affiliations: Belonged to a small special service branch of the X-men, all of whom had weather powers. However, the group broke up after the death of their leader Lightening Strike and several comrades during the Infinity Gem crisis.

Abilities: Has the ability to manipulate air, although at the moment all she can do is mess with sound waves and create rain. Although her powers aren't particularly strong, Bri makes up for it with creativity and resourcefullness. Often she uses her abilities with sound for spy work and general tactics, such as the time she drove an entire army into a panic by creating strange noises.

Bri currently works as a sound technician in a small local band, terrified of being recognized as the Hero she used to be. She was disgraced during the aforementioned fight, fleeing when her friends needed her most, and blames herself for their deaths. However, lately part of her has been drawn to the rumor that an organization is forming...
===============

Real Name: Kailee Marrone
Age: 20
Alias: Crimson Rose, Crim for short
Occupation: She doesn’t earn anything, but takes it.
Citizenship: None
Place of Birth: London
Known Relatives: None
Group Affiliation: The Dark Rose. The Dark Rose is a group of villains who spend their time with pointless crimes for their level of power and skill. They waste their talents away with simple robberies and muggings, toying with their victims. Each member of The Dark Rose has an alias with “rose” in the title. There are rumors that this society is planning something far greater than “simple theft” in the near future. Crim is one was the leading members of The Dark Rose.

Abilities: Crim has the ability to sustain life. To get technical, when making physical contact she can manipulate blood and bones, making her an asset to any team with a wish for survival. This also means that with physical contact she can make her target explode in a blood mess, though she likes to burst blood vessels or snapping bones one at a time, causing suffering to her victims. This also means she can’t be killed while conscious, only made exhausted and sore.

When she was a little girl she had a twin in the orphanage, but one day little Kailee got mad, for the nun made her share everything with her twin sister. She yelled at the nun, and the older lady scolded her, grabbed her by her small hand and began dragging her off to the naughty chair. Kailee didn’t like this at all, and began to wish something bad would happen to the cruel nun. This was when her powers began to show, for the nun screamed out in agony. Kailee let go of the nun’s hand and ran a couple feet away, very afraid. Later on, she found out every bone in the nun’s hand had been crushed, crumbled into dust. This wasn’t the last time this kind of thing happened around her, and soon she figured out that it was she who was doing this to people.

With this knowledge she grew up knowing she was better than everyone else, but loved by none. She even had a chance to realize her power over blood when her sister fell ill to HIV, which grew to AIDs and slowly killed her. One day, when her sister was particularly ill she took Tamara’s hand and prayed that she would get better, and a week later the doctor visited her and she had no illness, Kailee had wiped it from her body. It didn’t help that later that year Tamara was hit by a bus and instantly killed. She was 12 when this happened, and lost all faith in the world of kindness, left the orphanage and joined The Dark Rose.

-[Gotham City]-


Ripping a piece of tape from the dispenser, a news clipping with the headline, "EXECUTIONER VANISHED!" was attached to the wall along with several others with various depictions of hardened criminals that has escaped the clutches of the law.

It had been several weeks since Lucius King left the west coat of the U.S., leaving his company in the capable hands of his vice president. It was time to get serious about his goals and Gotham was known for it's high crime rate despite the fact of this "Batman." It was commendable that the dark knight had captured all sorts of notorious criminals such as the Joker, Two-Face and the like ... but how many times had they escaped? How many times have other criminals slipped through the holes of the justice system? Too many in King's eye.

Lifting a glass of red wine to his lips Lucius sipped and studied his "wall of justice." The only wall in his study not covered in floor to ceiling bookcases was splashed with news clippings of various criminals that fell through the cracks and loopholes of the system. They would all pay, eventually. Setting the glass down to pick up a red grease pencil, Lucius stepped forward toward the wall and circled a man's photograph. An older gentleman was portrayed in the picture, obviously of Italian descent and Don of the local mob family. He had been charged with the slaughter of another local family and rumor had it the father of the family was going to rat the Don out ... thus the hit. Of course, the Don had a rock solid alibi since he ordered one of his lieutenants to do the hit but he was the mastermind behind the plan.

Stepping away from the wall to resume sitting on the top of his desk, Lucius murmured quietly to the clipping, "And you will meet your fate tonight." Picking up the glass, King toasted to the Don before draining his glass dry.

Later That Night...
A man limped away from him, attempting to reach the doorway at the end of the hall but an arrowhead suddenly protruded from his neck and the man fell to the floor. The poor b*****d probably thought his boss could save him. Riiiight.

The Executioner stopped a moment to un-clip the compound bow from his hip and quickly put it together. Having taken out the heavy hitters before entering the Don's mansion, Lucius didn't have a need for his primary bow once inside. For the most part, he used the small crossbow to take out anyone opposing him or quickly ambushed anyone with a fell well placed punches and a snapped neck. However, there were at least two bodyguards inside that door at the end of the hall in the outer room of Don Giovani's private quarters.

The crossbow wouldn't work for what he needed to do next. Tying a small rope to the end of one of his arrows, the Executioner notched the slim weapon, pulled back and released after aiming. The arrow thunked home, protruding far beyond the other side of the door to release the grappling hook that was really the arrowhead. Lucius then attached the other end of the rope to a device that would reel in the grappling "hook" and pull the door from it's frame. Once that was done, King dove into the empty room on his right and notched two arrows before ducking back outside and targeting the two bodyguards that came sprinting down the hall. They both fell from fatal arrows wounds.

The two goons quickly bled out as Lucius strode down the hall and entered the inner sanctum of Don Giovani. The poor man's wife was cowering in their bed, the Don himself clutching the woman. Un-clipping the small crossbow, a bolt already notched, he pointed it at the Don but spoke to the wife, "Mrs. Giovani ... you are allowed to leave and take your children. Your husband and I have business to take care of." Mrs. Giovani squirmed out of her husband's grasp and ran for it, calling out for her children.

Lucius' gaze never wavered from the Don as he pulled out a crisp, pristine white piece of paper, placing it at the end the bed along with a pen. "Your confession, Don, to every crime you have committed. Including the slaughter of the family you had killed a month ago. Sign it." Don Giovani was so terrified of the man who had broken into his room, looking like an executioner from the dark ages that he didn't question the dark figure and signed the confession. Retrieving the piece of paper, Lucius hide it safely away to send to the police. Never hesitating, Lucius then shot the Don, concluding the business transaction. The Executioner then exited the now dead Don's mansion and disappeared into the night.

However, Lucius' exit didn't go unnoticed. A figure, off in the distance had been watching Lucius King for quiet some time. Flipping open a cell phone, the figure dialed a number and spoke into the device, "Tell Mrs. Sinclair that I've found someone she might be interested in."
