Introduce Yo' Bad Self | OOC Meet and Greet

S. Hunter Photography
Well, since the game officially opens as of Tuesday -> Wednesday at midnight EST, I figured I would put this up now, so we have a chance to do introductions! Rather than having everyone make an individual OOC post, I thought we could do it all in one get-to-know-each-other post like this.
For one, this game may be different from others you have been in, because when it comes to your original characters, you are encouraged not to OOCly tell other people all about their background/secrets/etc. I'm going to run this as much like a tabletop campaign as possible without bogging it down in rules and mechanics, but the act of being surprised along with your characters, ICly and OOCly, is an essential part of the fun in that! This is why all apps are screened, btw.
However, there are things that would be obvious off your character off the bat, so feel free to talk about any of those things / their surface personality / appearance / skills / etc! And you can use this post to share any other info you think would be useful for others to know about the way you like to game / your time zone / etc. :)
I am INCREDIBLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS, GUYS. And ask you to be open and communicative with me on any questions you might have that crop up as we go along. \o\

Oliver is a new arrival at the castle and has just joined up with the Knights, but he has been around for a few years now. During that time he (with the assistance of one Felicity Smoak) has been doing the vigilante thing and has likely made the news (if only just the tabloids) in some capacity or another. Over the course of their time in the game world, their focus has sort of shifted to shadowkind-related issues, which they felt equipped for due to their experience with metahumans back home. This conveniently falls in line with the Knights' agenda, and was a major factor in their joining up because a larger-scale organization like the Knights of the Silver Dragon possesses vaster resources (which he sort of lacks here), and a farther/more powerful reach than one lone costumed hero is capable of.
That being said, you are welcome to have your character know of "The Arrow" / "The Hood" / "Robin Hood Men In Tights" / whatever any random ass source of information are referring to the masked vigilante in this world. Or not! It's entirely up to you. They can have heard good things or bad thing or formed their own opinion on him and what he do. This is not obligatory so feel free to ignore it altogether, but I thought it could be a fun thing for people who wanted to utilize it in tandem with any cr they build with Ollie and/or Felicity. I am open to positive and negative cr so really, feel free to run with this any way you'd like to if it's something you might want to play with.
He has probably not explicitly come out and told anyone who he is apart from Wynn (Arden can have Wynn blab to whoever she wants afaic), and there can certainly be rumors and the like. Whatever you want, I am down for errything. :D
