Leader: Oliver has been known on occasion to take charge and people do listen to him. May it be in the board room or on the battlefield he knows how to take charge when he has to. When he's not being sarcastic or flippant in the faces of authority. Trick Arrows and gadgets: Oliver made most of his trick arrows showing his mechanical mind in action. He's no genius but is a good hand at his gear. Survivalist: A shipwrecked for 2 years on Starfish Island turned spoiled, self-centered playboy Oliver Queen into a powerhouse for self-preservation.

Weaknesses, Fatal Flaws |
Sucker for a Pretty Face: Ollie has always had a weakness for pretty girls, leftovers from his playboy days during college. Stubborn: The Archer has always been stubborn like a mule, he'll fight his point of view and snipe at you figuratively in almost a petty fashion Old lefty: Green Arrow believes in helping the little guy no matter the cost.

Mortal: Green Arrow is still only human he can be killed, beaten, or mind controlled just like everyone else. |
Character History |
Oliver Queen was born to Moira and Robert Queen. The family was quite happy with their new son and their corporate empire was on top. They would travel together all across the world seeing sights living off their ever budding empire. Until Africa when Oliver was nine years old when a lion would interrupt the Queen's expedition. Oliver held a gun and hesitated pulling the trigger and his hesitance cost him his parents lives as they died before their guide saved the young boy. The child would be taken in by his uncle, who would run Queen Industries till the young Queen was old enough to take over. His uncle saw how hard he was taking the loss of his parents so he taught the tiny Oliver about the bow. So he could channel those feelings somewhere anywhere but blaming himself. Oliver's years through college were barely passing classes and proclaiming his leftist views, like nuclear weapons were wrong and were to put them in future. At night he would be the college fratboy, playboy incarnate. After graduating and taking over his company finally his nighttime activities didn't change. Parties, girls and more drinking then most people have the right surviving were what Ollie did best. Until an accident on his boat where he got too drunk and fell overboard with his uncle's birthday gift to him. The people at the party didn't notice Oliver Queen missing for three days. Everyone thought he had drowned but he instead washed up on an island, alone. Opening the gift he found a bow and arrows, a gift to try and bring a positive change in the playboy. For two years Oliver survived the lonely hell that was Starfish Island, till he found something on the east side of the island, a freighter. It's cargo was china white, a drug heading for the US. Oliver decided he was taking the boat with his archery skills and some well placed TNT, that the crew had, the billionaire defeated the captain and paged the Coast Guard. The drug smugglers were arrested and Oliver Queen was taken home. With his return he had changed, no more late parties , the company was prospering with his resurrection. Except he had an itch to use his skills, people on the streets were suffering crime waves and the police were much to busy to assist in The Glades. Using his skills as an archer, Oliver became the Green Arrow to help people as much as possible. After working for a year Oliver picked up a sidekick in the form of Speedy aka Roy Harper, or partner if you asked the young man. They worked together for a few years till Roy wanted to break out on his own. Green Arrow helped the little guy and he kept people safe during the Thangarian invasion. The Justice League began to expand their numbers in the aftermath of the invasion of Earth and they asked Ollie to join and Oliver did the only sane thing....he ignored it. Till Green Lantern came into his town and “kidnapped” him to their Space Olympus. Oliver told Batman what he did, fight for the little guy because people here usually forget about them. Green Arrow was pulled into a mission in Chong-Mai because he wasn't having his molecules blasted into atoms across space by that teleporter. With some trouble the team was able to stop the walking nuclear reactor that was attacking the people that built it. After Batman convinced him the League could use him and maybe a certain Pretty Bird helped, Oliver Queen became a full member of the Justice League. With their mission together Supergirl and Oliver became good friends and he helped her deal with her weird dreams. With the help of the League's crackpot, The Question. They discovered the one known as Galatea, a clone of Supergirl. Then he met Black Canary, officially and she requested his help in saving Wildcat from himself. So they sneaked into Meta-Brawl run by Roulette to try and get Wildcat and found him wanting to stay. Then the duo were captured and Dinah convinced Roulette to let her and Wildcat to fight. Oliver knocked out Black Canary with his sleeping arrow and fought the boxing champion alone. Using his metabloic stunner to simulate death Wildcat realized his mistake and left Meta-Brawl. Then Black Canary became an item and a date would be had. During the Cadmus Crisis, Green Arrow voiced his opinions about the League and how they can't just do what they want. Using his political views and strong eloquence he convinced them to stand down for a time. When the main cannon on the Watchtower fired and destroyed one of the Cadmus bases, Ollie was one of the teams that went down in the Javelins to help the people evacuate. After the Original Seven defeated Luthor and Brainic, Superman decided to disband the League, Green Arrow stepped up and proclaimed that “The world needed the Justice League and the Justice League needs Superman.” Green Arrow was part of a team that stopped the Legion of Doom from stealing a viking ship by taking over an entire submarine. When the Justice League was a bit thin, he along with a number of heroes were sent to be part of a parade in Metropolis. With him were Shining Knight, Vigilante, S.T.R.I.P.E. and Stargirl. When the parade was attacked by a super powered General Ealing from Cadmus, who wanted to Superman to defeat him and show America was strong enough without him. The Leaguers tried their best but where all defeated by the raging monster. Even with reinforcements, the General knocked them all out and only was convinced to leave by the civilians. After healing up, Green Arrow was back to work and ready for the next mission. |
Sample Post |
On the docks of Star City, a large moving van pulled up near the launch with a speedboat warming up. Armed thugs jumped out of the back of the van and were looking around nervously. The men on the boat came up to grab the goods from the back of the van quickly. On top of the warehouse, a grin blossomed on the Emerald Archer's face as he saw the gun deal that he had been staking out for the last 3 hours begin. It was nice to get away from space aliens, monsters and just insane megalomaniacs to deal with the simple things once and awhile. Oliver pulled out a flashbang arrow and let it fly in between the group. The thugs looked at the arrow as it exploded, they shouted completely blind. One pulled their trigger and blew up a box and it exploded catching fire. Di is gonna be sorry she missed this, he thought with a chuckle and fired his grappling arrow and swung down into the mess of criminals. “Sorry fellas but your cruise has been canceled,” Ollie quipped and fired a net arrow at two thugs and whipped around to taser arrow a third. The remaining thugs were getting their sight back and were trying to aim at the Green Bowman. He jumped over one crate and it was tore to shreds by the machine gun bullets. “Rats,” Ollie snapped as he fired an arrow disarming one and rolling away. With another pull from his quiver Oliver took a breath and the world slowed down as he aimed and he fired a grapple arrow up to high stack of crates. He ran on the top and flipped over two gun runners while firing two bolo arrows wrapping up. “Guys looks like your all tied up,” he laughed at them. Before he tie them up Oliver was hit from behind and crashed into the crates he had just jumped off of. With a groan Green Arrow stood back up his back felt like he'd been hit by a truck. He rubbed his neck and looked at the mountain of a man that had hit him. The beast was wearing all black, with wires attached to the back of his head and arms. Along with a collar of spikes on his neck, his eyes were blood red. The stranger smiled a hungry grin, “Tougher then I thought, that's good little man,” he said with a Caribbean accent. He turned a dial on his wrist and he grew, his muscles expanding and increasing in height. Who is this guy, Ollie thought as he fired an explosive arrow to no effect. Another explosive arrow flew and hit him in the chest, one more and another. The mountain laughed and rushed forward with a haymaker into Ollie's jaw. The world grew dark but with a shake and rolling across the ground Oliver tried to get up but flopped back down making snapping sound. “So sorry but my employer would like you alive.” Oliver growled as he saw the man's foot near his face, With him so close Green Arrow stabbed his broken taser arrow into his foot and the charge ran through the man's body with a cry. Oliver stood back up and aimed at the back of his head where a large tube was pumping something into the beast's body. “Try this dirtbag,” he growled and let the arrow fly. It sliced the tube and the stranger shouted and grabbed the tube and began to shrink down to Oliver's size. The archer grabbed his bow and swung for the fences into the guy's jaw, then on the strangers head breaking the bow. Luckily enough the beast went down and Oliver felt like he was crashing hard as the pain jumped up and the world turned red. “Guess I win....what did I win?” he wondered aloud. Where's Di? Did we have a date? I can't., his thoughts were jumbling. He stumbled and slid down was that a wall or car something, “Watchtower, one for....” Then the darkness took the Emerald Archer. |
