Thanagarian physiology - As a Thanagarian, Shayera as a greater life span than a normal human. She is also physically stronger than regular humans, which provides her with a larger stamina and a greater resistance to pain.

Flight - Shayera wears a pair of artificial feathered wings given to her when she joined the Thanagarian police force. However, even though the wings are not the source of her flight, they do provide her with the ability to glide. The source of her flight, however, derives from the nth metal in her armor.

Enhanced vision - Shayera's eyesight is greatly similar to that of a bird. Her peripheral vision and her range is larger than that of a regular Earth human.

Master Combatant - Because Shayera's soul has reincarnated, she has knowledge of several lifetimes worth of fighting. She also emitted into the Thanagarian police force, which increased her ability in hand-to-hand combat as well as practice in various forms of weaponry, such as maces, spears, swords, axes, war hammers, shields, and other melee weapons.

Audition post


"Putting me on guard duty again. They think a decade of being a police officer on Thanagar obviously gives me the title to do so here," Shayera complained, eyeing the buildings below her. Recently, larceny and theft have increased greatly in Gotham City, so random Justice League members were commanded to patrol the streets. However, the last few days she's been on patrol, the streets have been fairly quiet. No screams heard from a distance, no sirens going off, nothing to be seen; just the sound of the wind blowing past her artificial feathered wings and the sighs beneath her breath. If she was forced watch the streets, something should at least happen so this wouldn't be a complete waste of time.

Maybe she spoke too soon.

A siren from a building suddenly echoed through the streets of Gotham. She forced herself to a halt, floating above the buildings as she turned her head in all different directions. She focused her hearing, pinpointing the source of the noise. She lengthened the reach of her wings, taking off in the direction of the commotion.

She reached her destination. A bank. Luckily, it was too late in the day and there were no people around. She didn't have to be careful where she swung her mace. She grasped the handle within her calloused fingers upon spotting her next victims.

"Hurry up, would ya?!" One of the hooded robbers yelled, throwing a couple bags in the back of his van. The next one tried to quicken his pace, adjusting the sack over his shoulder.

"It's heavier than it looks; I'm trying my best!" he spat back at his companion. "Would you give me a hand or some -" He was suddenly cut off when a mace hit him square in the chest. He flew backwards and back into the building, hitting the back of the wall and falling unconscious. The other man stopped, his eyes widening in fear. Hawkwoman smirked, straightening her composure and tapping her mace against her palm threateningly.

"How about you put the money back before I cause a spiked indentation in your skull?" she threatened, smacking the mace against her palm once more. He backed up, placing his hands on the bed of the truck. He grasped a gun within his hands aiming it straight at the woman. "I warned you," she continued. He began shooting at her and she launched herself in the air before flying towards him, holding the mace in front of her to block the bullets. Upon reaching him, she let out a battle cry and smacked his gun with her mace, knocking it out of his hands before performing a spin wheel kick to his face. His head knocked into the truck and his unconscious body fell to the ground.

She heard the sound of a loading gun behind her, and she turned to see two other hooded men about to shoot her. She spun, throwing her mace with an electrical charge around the metal. It hit one of them, as she lost his grip and fell backwards onto the ground. The other figure beside him let his guard down, watching his partner crash to the floor behind him. When he looked forward, Hawkwoman was directly in front of him, slamming her feet into his chest. As his partner tried to rise, the other slammed into him, and their heads collided, causing them both to fall unconscious. Hawkwoman picked up her mace and dusted the dirt off of her body. Police sirens were heard heading straight for her location.

"Taste the mace, boys," she declared with a smirk before lifting herself in the air and soaring into the darkened sky.

Looks good. Here's some of my feedback...

1. Shayera can be on Earth longer than you currently have. (IE: 2012 or 2011, even. Thanks to our Retcon) This also allows her to be in the JLA and skip introduction (If you wanted to do an Introduction, it can be done without hindering your entrance to the main RP.)

2. Flight, I am surprised there is nothing in your abilities section that involves flight. Also nothing describing her wings.

3. Thangarian's possess primitive weapons out of strategy and tactic, their technology is among the most powerful in the galaxy, capable of rivaling Krypton's technology. Furthermore, Thangarian's are Masters of War / Military / Combat. Almost everything they do has some strategic value that enhances odds in their favor. Even something as simple as helping save people; gives them favoritism and thus works to their advantage.

With Shayera being a police officer for Thanagar, she's still going to be intellectually superior in combat tactics than most other characters. I would say she could rival the combat strategies of Batman and Wonder Woman easily.

4. This is a side note, something you can later expand with your character but, Thangarian's aren't limited in their gadgets as some use razor wire, bolas, knives, or wrist mounted claws for combat. Presumably because they don't want to hurt humans, Hawkwoman uses a mace while Hawkman uses an axe or mace, but Hawkman has also used weighted nets. The purpose of me explaining this is that Hawkwoman can expand her arsenal later on to be more "predatory" in what she uses to capture her "prey."

Overall, I like this app. I will need to run it by my other admins for their opinions.

Thanagarians are a common race that reincarnate.
This is a highly inaccurate statement, Shayera And Katar were actually cursed to be reincarnated. Most of the time within the DC universe Heroes are removed from the cycle of Reincarnation. Hawkman and Hawkgirl are cursed to find and lose each other over and over until the end of their reincarnation cycle. This being said I really like the app myself. Above is a very minor detail. Kudos on the rest of the app I look forward to seeing you rp

I was not aware of that, Lucifer. Thank you for clarifying and thank you for your input!
