+1 emerald archer

howdy haven, i'm rift and brand spanking new to this game.

i'm joining with oliver queen, billionaire philanderer who spends his nights shooting arrows at other rich people. he's from the fairly recent cw adaptation of green arrow, suitably simply named arrow. cut from the same cloth as similar heroes, he spends his days pretending to be an irresponsible goofball and then spends his nights being a somewhat irresponsible vengeful hero(?). he's also kind of out of touch and socially awkward after spending years marooned on a strange not-so-deserted island.

he's been placed into apartment #3.002... so my apologies in advance to those who will have to put up with him.

anyways, it's a pleasure to be here and i look forward to playing with you all! if you'd like to add me, my plurk is shadowrift.

hopefully i will not fail this city.

honestly, i have no idea how he'll react to news of his older/alternate universe self

but it should be fun anyway

[hexappeal]

well he isn't that much older idk how it works
he died and then was separated from his soul
and then was brought back young...er...ish...

it's comics man and my expertise is not arrowfamily

either way get on that douchey beard. i mean, who could figure out that the green arrow is millionaire playboy oliver queen with a beard and 'stache combo like that

no one

[honed]

oh right they always somehow remain young somehow despite being around for ages...

stares at jay garrick and alan scott...

but yeah that's true, without the beard he's just not the same. i wonder if they'll make stephen amnell grow one out... that's when you'll know he's truly become green arrow

[hexappeal]

there was a whole stupid thing with jay and alan (and ted) that made them younger. with jay it's also the speedforce. in the 90s there was this awful arc where alan's wife kind of want cray cray about it, since she hadn't gotten younger along with him. i haven't read a lot of older jsa/all-star squadron/etc. in ages, so i'm probably way off base here!!! i mostly stick to the creepy crawly niche when it comes to current and re-reads.

lmao they just give him like a lazytown beard
it's terrifying

[honed]

haha yeah they always come up with... interesting... reasons why people don't age the way they probably should.

the evolution of ollie's beard will surely be one of arrow's most interesting story points

[hexappeal]

y, although i'm generally of the opinion that new earth folk probably age a little slower than people from our world. beside that, most jla members are like, 30-early 40s. anytime someone suggest they're under 30 i want to hit them. with a closed fist!!! like an adult!!

six episode story continuation, dragged out as slowly as possible. JUST LIKE REAL COMICS!!!!!!

[honed]

even roy's getting up there in age these days... and the always curiously misnomered "teen" titans. but yeah they've all been around for quite a while now...

squeeze as much melodrama as possible as you can out of it. that's sure to boost ratings!

[hexappeal]

yeah, the teen titans are now almost-21 titans. assuming you're in reboot denial as i am. SORRY I JUST WORD VOMIT ALL OVER ABOUT COMICS THE MOMENT ANYONE SAYS ANYTHING LET THIS BE A LESSON??? probably

the beardening part ii: electric boogaloo
i'm in

[honed]

hahah its okay i will never mind a good comic discussion! and yeah the latest reboot is... worthy of denying...

best reason to watch the show i've heard so far
