Captain Marvel
Franchise: DC
Custom Title: The Big Red Cheese
Alignment: Hero
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Special Abilities: In his empowered form, Billy Batson possessed the following superhuman and magical attributes of Greek Gods. Captain Marvel has instant access to a vast amount of scholarly knowledge. The wisdom of Solomon also gives Batson superhuman clairvoyance and provides him with counsel and advice in times of need. Batson has knowledge of all languages, ancient and modern, and could hypnotize people through this power. In his role as Magical Champion of Earth, Captain Marvel has incredible amounts of super strength in which gives him strength on par with Superman. Using Atlas' endurance, Captain Marvel can withstand and survive most types of extreme physical assaults. Additionally, he does not need to eat, sleep, or breathe when in Captain Marvel form. Marvel can use the lightning bolt that transforms him as a weapon by dodging it and allowing it to strike an opponent or target. The magical lightning has many uses, including creating apparatus, restoring damage done to Marvel, or acting as fuel for magical spells. Captain Marvel is virtually invulnerable, and resistant to all types of physical injuries. If he were somehow wounded, his godly energies would enable him to recover with superhuman speed. He is always supported by an innate and harmonious presence of good will and strength of perseverance that he never backs down from a challenge. He can move at incredible speeds, possibly equal to Superman. He can move fast enough to not register in the normal peripheral range of humans and seemingly vanish and disappear at will. Captain Marvel can also mystically fly through the atmosphere through sure act of will, enabling him to soar through the atmosphere at sub-orbital levels and travel across the planet. He is immune from the effects of extreme height. With effort, he can travel from the Earth to the moon, but he requires extra-precautionary paraphernalia for interstellar travel. Thanks to the power of Mercury, Marvel can fly at light speed through space. Although he doesn’t use his sorcery powers often, he still has the ability to wield magic and cast spells.

History: Billy was separated from his sister Mary following the death of their parents and left in the care of their uncle Ebenezer. Unfortunately, Ebenezer threw Billy out and stole the youth's trust fund money, which had been set aside for Billy's care and welfare. Left penniless and homeless, Billy eked out a sorrowful existence in Fawcett City as a newsboy. For shelter, he often slept in the subway terminals.
One night, the spirit of Billy's father convinced Billy to follow him deep into the subway tunnels. There, Billy found a marvellous train decorated in hieroglyphics and mystic runes. Billy and the stranger rode the train deep into the bowels of the earth and arrived in a cavern that held statues epitomizing the Seven Deadly Enemies of Man, including Envy, Lust, Greed, Pride, Wrath, Sloth, and Gluttony. Within the cavern, Billy met the ancient wizard Shazam, a champion of mankind for thousands of years. Withered with age, Shazam sat on a throne poised beneath a giant stone block suspended above him as if by magic.
There, the ancient wizard revealed that he had selected Billy to be his champion to fight for good as the "strongest and mightiest man in the world--Captain Marvel!" To that end, Shazam ordered Billy to speak his name, which was actually an acronym for various legendary figures who had agreed to grant aspects of themselves to a willing subject:
S - for the wisdom of Solomon
H - for the strength of Hercules
A - for the stamina of Atlas
Z - for the power of Zeus
A - for the courage of Achilles
M - for the speed of Mercury
Billy then said the wizard's name, and was immediately struck by a magic lightning bolt, turning him into Captain Marvel, an adult superhero. He then learned that he has only to speak the word again to be instantly changed back into Billy.
With that, Shazam was immediately killed by the large granite block that fell from above his throne. Billy vowed to fulfill his bestowed role. Whenever he needed advice, Billy could light a brazier near Shazam's throne, summoning the wizard's ghost.

Sample Role Play Post:
It had been quite sometime since Billy Batson had been to Earth. When the universes had been merged, a little law called the Keene Act had been passed. The law had stated that superheroes were no longer allowed.
Billy had not wanted to register his secret identity with the government. But he didn’t want to fight them either. The law was the law and Billy wasn’t going to break it. And he certainly was not going to stop being a hero. Helping the people who needed him. So, he had left Earth and travelled to Terra Lak Tus, where he’d be able to legally continue being the hero that he had to be.
But, things had changed. Aliens had invaded and they had destroyed Fawcett city. While Billy had been away, fighting for truth and justice on an entirely planet, some megalomaniac had come and destroyed Billy’s home and everyone he’d ever loved along with it.
A tear came to Billy Batson’s face as he walked through the ruins of his hometown. So many dead. And it was all his fault. He should’ve been there. He could’ve saved them.
Billy Batson was rendered speechless by the destruction. It took seemingly ages before his voice returned to him. And when that happened, there was only one word that came to Billy’s lips.
“Shazam!!!”
A bolt of lightning struck Billy Batson. And, in his place, the world’s mightiest mortal, Captain Marvel, stood. He may have been to late to save Fawcett city. But he could still find the people who did this. He could still seek justice for the deaths of all the people he’d come to know and love.
With one final glance around at the lifeless streets, Captain Marvel flew off into the sky. He was going to find this Darth Revan and he was going to put him behind bars. Just like a hero was supposed to do
