Firebird

"There isn't much justice in this world. Perhaps that's why it's so satisfying to occasionally make some." -Martian Manhunter

Life is full of twists and turns. A person thinks things are going in one direction, then fate, karma, or whatever you want to call it, tosses a giant wrench into the entire works. The new road might not be a bad one but it defies expectations for sure. Dallas "Firebird" Harper really empathizes with that sentiment.

After that, her plans deviated significantly.

Becoming a superhuman felt like a mystical transformation. There's no official guidebook for how to adjust to life with super powers. A lot of it's trial and error. Dallas was brought into an organization called Project Utopia, a government-funded private entity, which has helped her make a lot of sense of her new talents.

Ultimately, Dallas doesn't know what her end game is, but she has a handle on herself. Becoming a superhuman brought fame and a cult of celebrity around her. That part of it definitely makes her uncomfortable. Dubbed 'Firebird' by the media, she fights for truth, justice, and the American way... all that jazz. She also tries to balance having a semblance of normal life in-between, which seems more and more impossible every day.

While Dallas is defaulted to the DC comics universe, I'm happy to play with whatever needs doing. Prefer Marvel? Alright, she's an Asgardian or something similar. Crossover? Why not, it's a time-honored story device in comics. Prefer a futuristic or more historical time period? Sure, let's jive it. What would have happened if a Kryptonian pod had landed in the Wild West? Prefer to only play with OCs? Dallas can be the 'superman' of Universe-4732 or whatever we need to fling out. I also love the Aberrant game line and am happy to make a version of her for that.

I'm happy to play opposite canon characters as well. Dallas isn't an edgelord or an antihero but she does struggle to live up to her best self (something many young adults can empathize with, without the added drama of super powers). Perhaps one of the canon heroes tries to mentor her. Maybe she decides she's tired of hearing about Gotham on the news and comes into conflict with Batman because she takes action in "his town". Maybe she teams up with Jason Todd because she's tired of playing nice. Maybe a hole opens in the multiverse and she lands in NYC with any version of Spiderman. I'm game to play with anything.

Dallas is strongly inspired by the Superman animated series in terms of my view on Kryptonians. Strong, fast, resistant to damage, but she's not so far along that path that she's unassailable. Missiles, heavy artillery, laser cannons, alien dreadnoughts, it's more about comic book action.

Dallas can be hurt or killed as part of an RP and is a non-consent character. She can experience violence, intimacy, or anything else in the course of a story. While I appreciate a heads up or a discussion ahead of major occurrences, nearly anything goes with her. She's a superhuman being; she's tougher, stronger, faster than a mundane human but she's not invincible.

I'll RP sexual content in detail with 18+ writers. I write them realistically and consider them an important part, but not the sole defining aspect, of a character. If you'd prefer to fade-to-black, that's also fine, but please let me know ahead of time lest I accidently make you uncomfortable. I'm open to kinks aside from bathroom ones or their ilk. Feel free to ask.

Anonymous characters are accepted on a case-by-case basis. I've had a lot of problems lately with anonymous characters deleting on me mid-RP without a word. If there's hardly any info on your character's profile, or a lack of any images, I'll decline. Profile images are a must and I want to see the anonymous character is something that the writer behind it put time and interest into. It doesn't need to be a biography but there needs to be some meat on the bones. Anime avatars aren't my favorite but I'll make an exception for a compelling enough character.

If you want to end an RP, let me know. It happens sometimes that characters don't sync, a writer loses interest, or we write ourselves into a corner. If more than a week passes without a reply, absent prior notification, I'll archive the RP. To resume, just post, but I won't hound you for them. I'm sometimes slow myself and I understand casual post-rates and infrequent availability. I don't expect daily posts and can't guarantee them myself.

Common sense non-consent is fine. I'm not going to lose my mind that you touch her shoulder or brush against her in a crowded room, barring some reason she should be more aware of it. Bad things can happen to her in an RP but I prefer to be the one who posts it.

The Good Samaritan
Despite the presence of super beings, the rest of the world continues apace. Dictators oppress their people, ethnic genocides are launched, and people cry out for help. A well meaning super human (or your character) is a human-rights activist and has been using their powers of teleportation to evacuate refugees out of war-torn nations and away from violence. The problem is they're bringing these refugees into countries which haven't agreed to accept them and the political pressures are mounting due to this nova "abducting" foreign nationals. Firebird (and your character perhaps) are tasked with either convincing this well-meaning Samaritan to follow his conscience through official channels or bring him in.

Life in the Spotlight
Being a superhero is a lot of work. The media presence and obligations are never-ending. It's driving her insane. All she wants is a break away from the constant scrutiny. Enter your character; either by happenstance (maybe Dallas helped him out) or design, she meets your average guy-next-door and begins a friendship. Obviously, the media would be all over this relationship if they learn about it, and friendship may well be developing into more.

Young Justice in Real Life
The Justice League is starting a new team of younger heroes...but it's in a fairly little-known (aka, backwater asshole-) corner of the world, the invited team members have all sorts of issues, the robotic maid keeps malfunctioning and beating up door-to-door salesmen and there's a doomsday cult trying to kill them all. It's up to the new members of the team to handle things, if only they can keep from doing property damage in the millions...and what's with the whole robot maid-thing?

If you like Dallas, even if you haven't RP'd with her, I'd welcome a short little story about some chance encounter a character of yours may have had with her. Maybe she made an impression, maybe she wrecked your car when she used it as a shotput, maybe she saved or ruined the day, whatever the case may be. It's a chance for a creative exercise and to add a little more legend to the figure and those tied to her. Don't worry about controlling her actions, it's your story! Your recollection of the encounter! Your version of events! Maybe it happened the way you described, maybe it didn't. Maybe she'd admit to it, maybe she'd deny it. The truth of the matter is immaterial so long as the story is a good one.

IC stories only please! PM me from a character profile with your blurb and I'll add it below with a link back to your creation. I'll happily reciprocate with a story Dallas may tell about your character in turn.
