Personality: Alan, since the Commander’s death, has been very distance, but thanks to his training, has learned to squelch his inner demons. He is hesitant to trust people, the only one he truly trusts is life long friend Gary Cole. He absolutely appalls bullying and abuse. Alan does not have much faith in humanity as a whole which begs the question "why does he do it?" He does it to protect the minority of people who aren't totally corrupt, even if that involves corrupting himself. He still feels guilt over the Commander's death even though it wasn't his fault. He tries not to show emotion while acting as Pariah, but as Dalton allows himself some expression and enjoyment.


History: Alan Thompson was born to parents Garfield and Martha in New York where he lived for most of his life. He had a happy childhood that was relatively normal until he met the Commander, a popular hero during WWII. When Alan was 13, his middle school had been taken hostage by mad terrorists hoping the Commander would show up to save the day, which he did. They captured him and were about to kill him when Alan knocked two of them out from behind and clocked another one using some training his father gave him. This gave the Commander enough time to escape his bonds and subdue the bad guys. He took a shining to Alan and took him under his wing as his the sidekick Skipper. A year into crime fighting with the Commander, Alan's father was charged with burning down a German village he believed was housing NAZI soldiers. The fire killed four NAZI soldiers who were stationed there, but also killed three families who were innocent. Garfield was charged and convicted of murder. He was given the death penalty. Alan was devastated and felt betrayed by the Commander who testified against Garfield. Eventually, Alan forgave him and he continued as Skipper.

Alan was the second and last Skipper. He adventured with Commander until he was 16 when Commander was killed in a fiery explosion that Alan survived. Alan claimed that someone calling himself the Catalyst ambushed them in a warehouse and killed Commander, but other heroes and even his own brother thought he had killed Commander out of rage towards him from rumored interference from Commander in Alan’s father’s execution for war crimes during WWII. With their being no proof of a villain named Catalyst ever existing, Alan was charged with Commander’s murder, but was found not guilty. He was bullied mercilessly by his peers who knew his identity as Skipper due to his unmasking during the trial. He was shunned by everyone of his friends and family, except for his best friend Gary Cole. He didn't fight back because it would only reassure his tormentors that what they were doing was right. It got so bad, that Alan decided to fake his death at the age of 18 and recommit himself to being a hero.


He trained for 6 years in various styles of martial arts and excelled in bladed combat. He trained with a man named Como in the mountains of Japan. Training with Como meant taking a vow a silence to show control. He kept his vow until one day, a woman was being beaten up by her husband in their home. Alan tried to intervene, but it ended with the husband being stabbed by his wife. Knowing that she would most likely be killed by an angry mob as the man was a well loved member of the community, he took the knife from the woman and said one word, "Run." which she did. Alan was waiting in a jail cell for his execution when he was visited by his master, Como, who opened his jail cell and gave him his sword, Kowareta Chinmoku, which in Japanese means Broken Silence. He escaped and returned to his native New York under the assumed name Dalton Banks and became an artist making some money to fund his nightly patrols. His first year of crime fighting was met with some resistance by some in the hero community but he continued regardless, gaining the respect of some.

Character Image: His costume consists of a purple and black domino mask with a sleeveless purple and black shirt that goes all the way up to his neck. His pants are black cargo pants with lots of pockets with a grey belt that holds his hunting knife and his pistol. His boots are black combat boots and his sword is held in a sheath that is hung over his shoulder with a grey belt.



Role-play Sample: Alan was tired. He had been vaulting over the rooftops of New York for days without rest. The fatigue was finally hitting him and it almost caused him to miss a robbery taking place below. He landed on a nearby fire escape as a woman cried out for help. He leaped over the metal edge and landed on his feet in a crouched position. He stood up, fingers undulating out of readiness. He whistled loudly, getting the man's attention. " I suggest you back away from the woman before things get difficult." The thug scoffed, continuing on with his vile act. Alan rammed the thug against a nearby wall, pinning him against it. He pulled out his hunting knife and plunged it into the wall, holding the crook to the wall. The woman seemed stunned. Alan looked the man directly in his eyes seeing no regret or remorse for his actions. All he saw was fear and fear was all Alan needed.


Powers: He is super intelligent, having higher then normal reaction times. Physically, he is a man who is at the peak condition and speed. He is a skilled fighter, especially with his sword, Ravager. He is well versed at moving through urban environments thanks to his training in parkour.

Your RP sample is a bit lacking, you should make an item application that way you can add more weapons to it later.

His personality and history are a bit dull.

You should add a bit more depth.

Also, a character image or description would be nice.

(:
