meme: most wanted
Today's meme was suggested by Ashley and Shane!
We're all familiar with the community's official Most Wanted list, linked on the wiki there for your convenience. There are already a few pups listed there from several different canons, but we all have our reasons for wanting certain characters to come to Darrow.
Comment here with a list (no matter how big or how small) of characters you'd like to see apped at The City. You must include at least one reason for wanting these pups to appear in-game. These pups must also qualify for application as per the app guidelines.

My only non-spoilery reason is that he's a fucking badass of epic levels. I'd prefer to see him from the comic book, because the Andrea I'm going to app is from the comic, but I'd take him from the show, too.
SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS
Seriously, this man has been through everything. I want him and Mike Pinocchio to be best friends or bitter enemies, because I can see them going either way and given their respective histories, they would be amazing to see being played off each other. Selfishly, there's the part of me that ships Andrea with EVERYONE EVER. I love the attraction between the two of them that never really culminates because Rick won't let it. And I don't know if comic book Rick can survive anymore without the zombies. He'd be such a great character to bring here with so much possibility.
Also selfishly, I want to play Rick straight out of the comic off an Andrea who has been transferred. Even in such a short time, she's started to change again and it would be fun to see what they think of each other in a situation where their lives aren't threatened every day.

Marty Deeks, NCIS: LA. So when I bring Kensi, she has someone to forever bug the shit out of her.
Also, he's fucking awesome, so there's that.
no subject
FRINGE: Alternate Lincoln Lee. Because I want to bring his partner and they are a perfect team.
ALIAS
no subject
Also someone should app Will to start the paper and be super nosy in all the weird-ass buildings and nearly get himself killed one million times a month.

I'd planned to have individual pictures but wanted to get this posted tonight, so have a cast shot instead!
In order from the left, after Artemis:
Robin, aka Dick Grayson
The original Boy Wonder himself! He's an acrobat -- no, scratch that, he's a freaking ninja. He has a giggle like a crazy person. He's got the brains to be an amazing leader, and the humanity to hate what leadership might make him do. He has a thing for wordplay. He is, in a word, awesome. (He also grows up to be Nightwing and the hottest guy in the DC Universe. What? It's a fact.)
Kid Flash, aka Wally West
Superspeed! Also a superfast metabolism, so he eats everything in sight. Enthusiastic. Kind of childish and often annoying, especially to Artemis. He hits on pretty girls (M'gann) and women (Black Canary, for crying out loud) to the point of harassment, but it's more annoying than anything else. He's actually quite charming when he's not trying to be charming. Scientifically minded but learning that there are things beyond his understanding. He's grown up a lot over the course of the first season, actually -- he's learning to think, not just act. Artemis actually kind of likes him, despite his general childishness, and could learn to like him a lot if he'd be charming more often than he's annoying. (Not that she'd admit that.)
Superboy, aka Conner Kent
With a name like that, who else could he be? A teenaged clone of Superman, he has the invulnerability thing down pat. He's also able to leap tall buildings in a single bound (no flying), has x-ray vision, and of course has super strength. But that's the boring stuff. More important is the fact that he is angry puppy. He was created to be a weapon and still struggles to find a purpose. He needs a father figure, but Superman is a jerk who won't talk to him. You don't really see the boy start to relax and smile until later in the season; before that he's tense, broody, and angry pretty much all the time. Which is kind of adorable. Like I said, angry puppy. Also, he and M'gann are adorable together.
Miss Martian, aka Megan Morse, aka M'gann M'orzz
An honest-to-goodness Martian! Telekinesis, telepathy, flight, shapeshifting, and almost-invisiblity. Who wouldn't want that skill set? And she's strong in those powers -- take over multiple minds without meaning to strong, smash drones together to make a big boom strong. But she wouldn't turn that against you unless you're a bad guy, because she's also one of the sweetest people ever. She really just wants to bake you cookies and be on the cheerleading team. Unless you threaten her or her friends, then it's on.
Aqualad, aka Kaldur'ahm
Kaldur! The dignified, honorable, responsible, kind but strong leader of this team. He frequently puts duty above his own wants and desires, though it's not easy. He'd prefer to put himself at risk than any of his friends or teammates. Mostly serious, but he does have a sense of fun. He takes pride and pleasure in his abilities. He's a strong fighter and uses his chosen weapon -- water, manipulated in various forms -- to great and sometimes very awesome effect.
Not pictured:
SpeedyRed Arrow, aka Roy HarperGreen Arrow's ex-sidekick -- I'm sorry, ex-partner. He's a fantastic archer. He's also arrogant in the way only an 18 year old boy with something to prove can be. Prickly and distrusting. However, he is capable of humility and admitting he's wrong, on occasion. Doesn't back down from a threat or a fight. Looks good in a suit.
Zatanna would totally be on this list but is hopefully already being apped. :D <3
And for good measure, though she's not a hero:
Cheshire, aka Jade Crock, aka Artemis' older sister and a member of the League of Shadows. She is, in fact, a ninja assassin. Favors sai knives. Has a thing for Red Arrow. Hates her father as much as Artemis does, but works with him anyway, because she has to. Is pretty much all around awesome, in a villainous sort of way. I think it'd be interesting to see her cut off from the League of Shadows; what would she do in a place where she can't be an assassin?

And Nightwing is the sexiest man in the DCU.

He really is. I'm pretty sure that's an undisputed fact.

Illyria
While I would also LOVE a Fred Burkle, I think the idea of Illyria, this fallen god who's almost older than time, who finds itself trapped in the body of a human with its powers greatly diminished, who basically looks upon mankind as a bunch of ants at first, to be really, really interesting. Especially in an environment like Darrow.
Angel
GIVE ME SPIKE'S GRANDSIRE. Spike and Angel's odd, bickering, grudgingly respectful relationship is one of my favorite things about either series. They hate each other, and care about each other. They've been through hell, and they probably know each other better than anybody in the world. Plus, they're in love with the same girl, which is ALWAYS fun. I much, MUCH prefer the Angel from Angel the Series, to the lovesick one we see on BtVS, and I'll never pretend otherwise, but I really just want him however I can get him.
