C H A R A C T E R; NAME: Zinda Blake CANON: DC Comics POINT IN CANON: Post first Birds of Prey series AGE: 27 - despite what her drivers license may claim. APPEARANCE:http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/0/1494/89227-148735-lady-blackhawk.gif CANON HISTORY:http://www.comicvine.com/lady-blackhawk/4005-2035/ CANON PERSONALITY: Zinda Blake is a woman of determination. During WWII, she decided that she wanted to become a member of the famed Blackhawks. She trained in various different topics, and became an excellent pilot, but one little thing stopped her. It was against the Blackhawk code to allow a woman onto their team. Despite being turned down, Zinda did not stop trying. After rescuing the entire team she became the Lady Blackhawk, the first female member of the Blackhawks. Strong, determined, and patriotic, Zinda was the best of the best, and stood her ground alongside the boys. She made sure no one looked down on her, and she demanded her well-earned respect. She refuses to let anyone talk down on her, and will simply walk out of a room if someone of a higher rank tries.
She's extremely devoted to her teammates and friends, both in the past in the Blackhawks, and currently in Oracle's group. She once rode a taxi across the entire country so she could pin the photo of a fallen teammate next to the photo of the blackhawks on a board that honored military heroes. Despite her devotion and determination- she does have some skewed morals. Especially when she gets to drinking. Zinda Blake loves her alcohol, and she loves getting drunk. You can't exactly blame her- if you were suddenly teleported from the 1940s to 1990, and everyone you knew was dead, you would probably drink a lot too. When she gets drunk she becomes rowdy, brash and aggressive. While she won't actually cause harm to innocents in this state, she will threaten people, wave a gun around, and make a general fool of herself. She's not the world's greatest role model.
Her teammates aren't the only ones she's devoted to though, her time spent fighting in WWII has given her a large amount of Patriotism. She's got a soft spot for military men, who she will either respect, be friendly to, or acquire a rather large crush on. The Lady Blackhawk is flirtatious and charming, and she doesn't bother to hide it from anyone who she meets. She picks up men and leaves them again easily, with a wink and a "See you boys later". She's been known to have bars full of men fight over her, and to punch her own date for being rude when he steps up to defend her in the wrong way. Zinda Blake is by no means a shy lady.
She's a quick, smart girl from the south with a quick wit and a quick mouth. She makes friends easily, chatting up with strangers about anything from the weather to her hair to piloting. Everyone she becomes friends with will end up with a nickname, normally 'skipper'. She claims to be afraid of nothing, and isn't afraid to shoot a man.
She's been through a lot of hard things in her life, she's seen war, the death of countless friends, and fallen through time, but she adapts each time. A normal girl would have at least some sort of culture shock from skipping 50 years, but not Zinda. She hit the twenty-first century and took the world by storm, embracing the new technology and culture. She adapts to change pretty well, is willing to take on anything in life- with one hand on the trigger, the other hand on a beer bottle, and both her knees on the steering wheel.
POINT OF DEPARTURE: Post first Birds of Prey series ABILITIES: She's an extremely skilled pilot who is also trained in combat and in using different forms of weaponry- including dual-wielding handguns. She has valuable team skills, and is talented at acquiring information.
Oh. And she can order beer in over 30 different languages. She can't say anything else in those other languages, but when questioned about it, she'll smile and ask "What else is there?!" INVENTORY; Two Handguns- loaded (What is responsibility?) The keys to the Aerie One One Wallet with: A military ID, a whole foldout of stupid pictures, and 8 dollars and some cents. ANYTHING ELSE WE SHOULD KNOW? nope
S A M P L E S; FIRST PERSON: (what we’re looking for is how well you know the voice of your character; we’re not looking for what’s in the action/thought brackets. 8-10 sentences should do (or 100 words minimum), or we also allow a 10+ comment thread from a previous game as well as a thread from the test drive) Now I know there's no real way to go about track in' time and all that here, but I've been thinkin. And you know what this place could use? Some gosh dang fireworks, that's what! Too many frowny faces around here- and who doesn't love big ol explosions? And I know we've got some food left from last jaunt- not a real BBQ, but at least we can have a picnic. I'd say we should find someone here who can whip up some sparklies for the rest of us. I know you're out there! Don't go holdin out on old Zinda! Or if not for me... uh, you could think of the kids? THIRD PERSON: On land and at sea, Oracle might have been in command at all times. But up here, in the sky? That was Lady Blackhawk's territory, and it was something Zinda prided herself upon. Today was no different- but with a bunch of newbies sitting in the seats of her baby, she had to make a few things clear. So she flipped on the high-tech autopilot mechanism, turned on the camouflage, fixed her hat, and strolled out into the cabin.
"Hello Ladies! I hope you will be enjoyin' your flight on the Aerie One today, she's the nicest aircraft you'll ever have the pleasure of flying on!" She offered a friendly smile to the passengers as she said this, her hands on both her hips. "Now. A few rules here. Keep your hands and feet and any body parts to yourselves. Don't go wiping your dirty fingers on anything, I just cleaned her. Keep your food and drinks until after we land, it'll probably be a bumpy ride, and we don't want any spills. No shootin' your guns, no metahuman powers, no hacking of the plane whatsoever, and no talking sass to the pilot. Of course, these rules are all optional! If you don't intend to follow them-" She paused, and gestured to the doors on either side of her. "These are the emergency exits. Please exit now. I hope you brought a parachute!" When she was met with silence in return, she laughed, and winked.
"You know I love you girls. Of course there are parachutes. ... Of course, they might not all work. But hey! Nothing to worry about as long as you sit back and behave, right?"
