+1 bug-themed superhero (and +0.5 bug)

[escarabajo]

hello again Hadriel!! it's Danni again, and I'm dragging in a second character this month: meet Jaime Reyes, also known as the third Blue Beetle, from DC Comics!



Jaime's a 16-year-old Mexican-American teen, born and raised in El Paso, Texas. He likes sports, loves his family and friends, gets good grades, and wants to be a dentist when he grows up. He'd be a completely normal high schooler if he didn't have a horrific alien AI superweapon bonded to his spine and inside his head. And that would be a huge problem, if Jaime weren't such a straight-up good person: Khaji Da, the AI, now knows 1) how to not kill things, 2) sarcasm, and 3) Star Trek references. Basically, Jaime is a dorky hero boy scout, but he's very clever and does what he's gotta do to get stuff done and keep people safe. That said, he is still getting used to having a gross alien bugsuit. Bear with him. :')

As always, I can be found at plurk on smithsyndicate! see you all around!

I've heard so many good things about Jaime! He and Z would probably get along pretty well (good guy superhero bros!!). Emily will, at this point, not be outright aggressive, but she will still probably not be nice. D: C:

[escarabajo]

HE IS AN ANGEL and his first series is my absolute favorite comic of any comic ever, everyone is lucky i dont have links to scans to spam everybody with hahfshsdfkl.

and lmao he will deal with Emily. once you hang out with the Teen Titans a few times no drama phases you anymore

[ampliat]

i'm blue you're blue. let's be friends.

[escarabajo]

BLUE TEAM RULES i am down for this cr

[ampliat]

IT'S GOING TO BE GREAT i am ready for this

[mismanagement]

!!!!!!!

You have no idea how happy I am to see Blue Beetle. He's one of my favorite superheros.

[cashlin]

Omg knowing people love Jaime too warms my heart, I'm glad!!! It's definitely gonna be a nice change to play someone who is more laid back than Lilith's, uh. everything. sorry maketh.

[mismanagement]

His comics always make me so happy. Hah! It makes for fun writing either way. Plus I tend to make my characters suffer a lot no matter who they interact with. Because I'm evil like that.

[escarabajo]

They are my faaaavorite I'll shove em off onto anybody who's willing to read.

and lmao fantastic. I'm looking forward to Jaime lending Maketh a helping hand (because he absolutely will) and Lilith continuing to make her life difficult. B)

[mismanagement]

Slightly random, but how's the New 52 version of him? I heard it went pretty dark, but I haven't had a chance to really look at it.

Aww, Jamie. You so sweet ^^ Lilith, prepared to be yelled at a lot.

[escarabajo]

IT'S... well, it's not TOTALLY unreadable, but the charm of the original series was lost in favor of making it darker, unfortunately. it was cancelled last?? year i think? I'm not keeping up on DC's current continuity too much, but afaik he's not really doing too much unless he's on Teen Titans again, which was also sort of hit or miss in terms of characterization.

Jaime still believes everybody deserves a second chance, Maketh can do better than the Empire! and Lilith is prepared, she is gonna yell right back and not own up to her hurt feelings, you're not the boss of heeeerrrr

[mismanagement]

Man, that's disappointing. I'll have to track down my trades of the original run. Though yeah, DC hasn't been doing much that I've wanted to read lately. Sadness.

Jamie is precious and must be protected. Maketh is going to be very confused by him. Aww, Lilith, she doesn't mean it. Well, not exactly. Emotions are hard.

[escarabajo]

RIGHT? (Though tbf it's very difficult to top the first Jaimebeetle run, it's very nearly perfect.) I'm trying to poke about in Marvel and indie stuff with some degree of success but alas, guess it's back to reading all of these backissues.

HAHA even moreso when you consider who else is in Hadriel eh? also, at least the two of them are sort of dealing with NOT dealing. together. ish.

[mismanagement]

Oh man, yeah. Everything just really came together for that run. Aside from Rat Queens, I don't have anything new on my pull list right now. Mostly because of lack of funds, but also there's just not a lot that I'm interested in right now.

Oh yeah ^^ That's....yep, that's pretty much what they're doing.

[mercscum]

i will get you to say fuck jaime

I WILL!!!!!!!!

[escarabajo]

YOU CANT MAKE HIM SAY ANYTHING WORSE THAN DAMN, WADE

HE WILL BE STRONG

[quaerit]

He will have so much fun here, I'm sure! I'm a fan of Jaime's though, I'll be glad to see him around!

[escarabajo]

he'll have a BLAST... sort of. Glad people are happy to see him c:

[untowards]

i am super unfamiliar with him beyond seeing him in other games but i am 100% ready to hit him with my (well, formerly-)totally-normal high schooler right here.

[escarabajo]

SWEET I look forward to it!! he'll be frantically trying to herd all the metaphorical hadriel cats, that means you, poor traumatized teenager.

[smited]

JAIMEEEEEEEEEE

oh my god i'm so excited to see jaime you have no idea

[escarabajo]

IM GLAD this poor thing doesnt deserve hadriel but by god he's gonna do his best
