Garth Solstice(Hoods application)


Code Name (Your ideal code name): Solstice

In-Game Code Name (if different from above): Garth Solstice

Secret Identity: Garth solstice

Aliases/Nicknames: Sol, Sunny, Sonny, Garth, Black Sun

Character Development (RP) Information:

Age: 16 (Appears as an 18 year old)

Place of Birth: Gotham

Height: 6’2”

Weight: 90 KG

Hair Color: Brown

Eye Color: Brown

Physical Build: Peak human physique

Race/Ethnicity/Nationality: Caucasian

Physical Disability/Illnesses: None whatsoever

Personality (ie. Psychotic, Sadistic, Schemer, etc):
Garth is shy, decisive, smart, sad, and overall looking for a 'pick me up' in some way, weather it be alcohol or a night of fun of parkour to vent the feelings. He has shown to be very touchy when it comes to being insulted or feeling offended, but when affectionate he has nothing to hug, often giving him a feeling of loneliness or depression.

It is very often when seeing a pretty girl he gets very shy and quiet, this has proven to be used against him by others, toying with his feelings is not advised. He is very obediant as well, the doing what he is told thing is a given.

Likes:
1. Gymnastics/acrobatics
2. Training
3. Following his superior’s orders
4. Soda
5. Snack foods and junk food (never seems to get or gain weight)
6. girls (he has no idea how to talk to them though ._.)
Dislikes:
1. Ranting people or having to repeat a second time
2. Bright places
3. Flavorless water
4. Chocolate
5. Depression

Skills:
He is an expert acrobat and is even skilled in freestyle parkour. It works like his mental process, any obstacle he will find a way to jump it, flip over it, jump on walls over it, and climb over it. Or beat it to a pulp whatever comes first.

Powers (RP):
Thankfully his Exobyte has given him a unique healing ability that has given him the ‘perfect’ human metabolism capable of cutting the time needed to heal bones in half, and has given him an immune system of a super soldier, he is immunized to the joker gas due to his exposure to it over the years, however is not immune to the laughing effect, it works more so like sleeping gas if anything. Despite the perfect physique and healing factor, he looks about 2 years older than he should.

His agility, reflexes, strength, durability, stamina and speed have overall been permanently peaked out to the maximum human level possible, however he is not bulletproof, and can feel pain mentally and physically. He has shown the ability to ‘never become fat’ due to his metabolism, Even if he does not exercise he will not loose the muscle.

His equilibrium and overall senses are also at animalistic levels, much like a cat he never looses balance and always lands on his feet, like a dog he can smell and track. He can see in the dark to a minor extent, but when in the dark it works more so as ‘colorblindness’

Weakness(es):
He lacks the needed protection in his slim-line to give him greater flexibility. Aside the fact he is only human. If shot with normal guns or comes into contact with superhuman as combat he will be utterly beaten and hopefully not killed in the process.

He is not immune to any form of magic, in fact when facing a magical entity such as wonder woman or Circe, Jonathan blood or doctor fate, anyone with magical skills, he submits to their will until given the right to leave, or he ‘out brains’ them.

Anyone stronger and faster than him can easily overpower him.

Paraphernalia (Equipment, Weapons, etc.):
A makeshift bow staff that is easily hand held in the compact mode. It is capable of supporting the weight of ten men. If it is actually damaged it has some form of self-repair feature of some way. It can extend up to 7’0”. He has a teleportation device for a quick escape when injured too much, it transfers him to his own base.

Game & Contact Information:

Sponsor (Current Member offering): Joker is the in game sponsor (otherwise I’ve got no idea what you speak of)

League Questionnaire

The following questions are used to determine your interest in our League.

1.Why are you interested in becoming a part of The Hoods, and what do you feel The Hoods stand for?

Personally Garth wishes to prove himself in any way possible that he is a villain, but without a name for himself he will need to search for ‘allies’ or ‘friends’. He believes the new generation of villains, gaining numbers to raise their power, to make a title for themselves.

2. How will you personally contribute to the betterment of our organization?

Suggestions, input, feedback, donating in game, possibly supplying a code for SC once in a while when I have the extra time and cash to get some.

3. Did you read our "About Us" and "Home Base" Information Pages? (If not, please do so.)
Of course I have by now.

Character Questionnaire

The following questions will give us a better understanding of how you view your character and help us to determine if he/she will be a good addition to our team.

1. In your opinion, what makes your character Original and Iconic, what makes them stand out amongst his/her fellow villains?

Well, unlike your super powered selves, Garth is vulnerable to any form of damage, physical, magical, technological. He isn’t a superhero he’s just human. His exobyte did not even give him any powers; it just gave him a really fast metabolism and a peak human condition, including super genius intellect nothing really giving him the needed boost if you will to combat heroes. Yet no matter how many times he fails, he refuses to give up.

2. How dedicated are you to this character and his/her concept? Will he/she be your main character?
He will be the only character from here on out; I’ve decided to continuously improve him to the best of my ability.

3. Why did your character decide to become a villain?
The moment he got tired of being pushed around by others, He found comfort in a word of wisdom 'Good people do bad things', since he considered himself a good person, he chose to doo bad things.

Character Bio

Growing up as an orphan he was often the choice of the older orphans to bully, his parents had died in a car accident leaving the infant with no other family, so they put him into the care of an orphanage in Gotham. He grew strong and tall, capable of easily defending himself at the age of 7. At the age of 13 he had the strength and physique of a sixteen year-old boy. As he aged up until that point it had become quite apparent that he was able to beat down a grown man for attempting to mug him on the way back to the orphanage.

On the sixteenth birthday, no one to celebrate it with, he found himself in the alley with a lighter, and then he burned down the orphanage with three propane tanks that was spraying out of a nozzle, he left after throwing the lighter back and walking away quickly to prevent any harm. When the police arrived at the seen he was nowhere to be found, but then again, he was still there, just not visible. His life of crime had just begun, and his mischief and rage merged making him quite the evildoe, he regrets some actions preformed.

His exobyte powers had manifested and he now had the ability to stealth, not only that but within a few hours he gained the physique of a super soldier gymnastic athlete with perfect bodily coordination, he was able to rip a car door off with ease, perform parkour and other feats of agility. His knowledge also swelled just as his muscle did, a 6’2” 16 year old with the looks of a man. His genetic coding being rewritten and his super-genius intellect made its way. He soon used that intellect to make gadgets and gizmos to make his life easier while still exciting, plasma sticky grenades, a compatible bow staff with a self-repairing feature.
This exobyte had made his physique of a human in peak physical aging, condition, healing, youth, and physical attributes, all permanent.

Roleplaying Essay

Staring at his fellow unconscious villains, on guard and ready. When he heard the sirens of the he took the steel bow staff and readying himself for the Wiccan’s attack. However when he raised an arm giving her the signal to ‘lets go’ and begin the melee, two taser lines wrapped around her feet, quickly he pulled her to ground level and used the bow staff to leap while the shocking cords caused an illegal amount of voltage to flow through her ankle and up, he landed on her stomach now standing over her, using the bow staff to leave multiple beatings across her face.
It wasn’t long before the Witch of weather caused a thunder storm to rise over him, as he held the metal staff was lifted into the air, the lightning blasted him with full force, leaving him shaking on the ground, slowly regaining herself as he raised an arm and began to crawl away towards the loot. Pulling a metal device out meant to be a transport to the base he lived in. As he grabbed the loot, instead of risking his hide saving the rest he immediately thought saving his own hide was better than himself AND the goons being in prison. As he pressed the screen, the option to teleport pulled up and he used his advanced technology to get the heck out of there.

Re: Garth Solstice(Hoods application)


It's not really in the best interest of the Hoods to take someone with mental issues like this, especially when he's explicitly described as being childish and difficult to talk to.

Re: Garth Solstice(Hoods application)


He may have the mental issues but everyone is a little bit crazy these days. Garth is no exception to that or the interest of the hoods. I understand if he is not accepted, the bi-polar sociopathic and sadistic nature is not that great, and otherwise he's probably going to be useless until proven otherwise, but he wants to 'improve' on those things to better himself as a villain.

Not everyone is crazy. Most are just normal.

No. It's not. In fact, it's an overused stereotype in manga, anime and fan fictions, or literary works whose authors are big fans of the aforementioned genres.

Characters like this don't last in a group environment because no one can rely on them, and no one knows what will set them off or when they'll be a danger to those around them. Even villains watch out for their own. Someone like this can't be trusted around themselves let alone others.

It's like teaming up with the Joker. Every villain is reluctant to team up with him because he's as likely to kill you as he is to kill everyone else around him. I would suggest wiping this bit from the profile or you'll probably end up being a lone wolf.

Its been fixed, the sociopath parts are gone, replacing it are a word of wisdom he thought up. Good people do bad things...

Re: Garth Solstice(Hoods application)


I'm sorry to say that we've decided to pass on this application for the time being. We're just not sure you're the right fit for the league.

Best of luck to you, and thank you for your interest!
