+1 Blond Loser Secret Dork

The rest of the New Warriors shut up, it's a total secret.

Hi everyone! I'm Marie, and I have come to mash another Marvel superhero character into this DC-based game as proof that App This Plz sometimes works!

I'll be bringing you another New Warrior, Speedball/Robbie Baldwin. He's from the end of the most recent volume, because that's the closest to happy and healthy he's been in 9 years, and I didn't want to pull from that far because New Kid Nova is here (Hey, Sam, what's up?). It would also make him way younger than I would like.

So Robbie is the cool Warrior nowadays, he's the funny cute one all the X-girls ask about, but he's actually carting around a lot of baggage due to the events before, during, and after Civil War that are too convoluted to get into in an intro post. He likes to act like it almost never happened, especially around teammates, so it's probably best to leave the full story out of.

The short of it is that Robbie has a history of self harm. I must ask all of you to head over to his permissions post and let me know if you want me to keep him away from your character entirely, to never mention it (rare anyway), or what would work best for you. If, if, if it does, with express consent, it will still have massive warnings on it.

In case anyone is curious, he's coming in with his standard power set of bouncy kinetic shield and energy bubbles. The post-Stamford, pain-fueled power is gone. I have not yet worked out how he'll discover that.

I imagine I'll be hearing from some of you to work stuff out, as needed.

Also, my flight home from Dragon*Con takes off in about 40 minutes. I'll be incommunicado until about midnight.
