IC INFORMATION

Character Name: Homelander (he will sometimes refer to himself as John)
Canon: The Boys, the TV show (where the show doesn't specify, comic canon is used for backstory)
Canon Point: End of Season 1
Background: Wiki
*designed and made in the lab of a private cooperation (Vought) with Compound V
* grew up and received his education in near-isolation, visited only by a few tutors and scientists. Due to his superpowers, he accidentally killed a few of his female tutors by hugging them
* because of his superpowers, Vought was afraid that they would lose control of him, and they force-fed him propaganda to stay loyal to the company, to USA and as a last resort, they chained him to a nuclear bomb, set to detonate if he ever refused an order or behaved violently towards the scientists.
* Is very much a company man and very loyal to the owner and shareholders of Vought Inc.
* Is the Leader of The Seven, the Vought superhero team.

Suitability:
Homelander thinks of himself as a great protector, even if he's not. So, Thorne bringing him here, telling him that he is needed to save the world? That is something that will inspire loyalty in him, to the mage that brought him here and to Thorne itself.

He would also use immoral and questionable methods to keep the castle and the rules safe. In canon, we see him unable to save a plane from crashing. The nav board is toast, so instead of trying to save a few of the people (who could speak out against Vought), he lets the plane crash and instead holds a riveting and emotional speech about how this could have been avoided if only the politicians granted the Seven access to the military of the United States. (This is the company's goal, to get Vought Controlled superpowered people in to the military)

He would do this for Thorne, if they hail him as a hero.

Powers:
Think Superman, but without kryptonite as a weakness (and without a conscience). Homelander can fly, can bench-press a tank and he can shoot lasers from his eyes, that can cut through everything but zinc. He has x-ray vision, and can see through everything that isn't made of zinc.

He can hear a human heartbeat a mile away and he can tell a person's blood-pressure just by listening to the sound the blood makes in their veins.

While he can be hurt, it's almost impossible to break his skin and so far, nothing in canon can kill him.

He can speed-read at ridiculous pace and recite it near-perfect, but his ability to understand a complex subject is limited.

PERSONALITY QUESTIONS

Describe an important event in your character's life and how it impacted them.
He grew up in a cold and sterile lab, hidden away from the world for years. With no emotional connections to any of the scientists that experimented on him and with no one to talk to. He was just a little boy in a world where everything was too breakable, and they all kept their distance after his hug killed a sweet, female tutor hired to teach him math.

He is subjected to near-daily tv lessons, with national propaganda playing for hours. Subjected to tests to see how strong he is, how fast he is and how much he can endure. Pain, heat, cold, how long he could go without breathing. As a child.

The important event, is the first time he's introduced to the public. Vought brought him out when he was fifteen, showing the world what they had 'discovered' at the farm of an elderly couple in Kansas. And that rush when the crowd cheered at him, when they wanted to hug him and take pictures with him- when they loved him- for the first time in his life. That shaped him, and what he's willing to do to keep that adulation and admiration of the public.

Does your character have a moral code, or other set of standards they try to live by?
Everything for the company. He is loyal to Vought and to the vision for the future they've carefully instilled in him. That Supermen are superior to regular people, that he, only because of what he can do, is chosen by god and by the best scientists in the world, to rule. But according to the company handbook, of course.

He will murder, rape, kill and maim if this is what the company wants, or if this is what he thinks the company wants. To raise stock prices and to generate income.

He also firmly believes that if he wasn't standing between the regular people and chaos, chaos would reign and he is the only one who can save them -from themselves and from super villains.

He reacts based on emotions, and boy, does he have a lot of feelings. He's a do first and think about it later, but he can be swayed and manipulated quite easily.

What quality or qualities do they admire most?
Loyalty and intelligence. Homelander thinks of himself as a man of action, not a man of reading incidence reports and studying the psychology of repeat offenders. He admires people who can do this, who can make a plan and follow it.

He admires psychical strength.

Do they have a part of themselves they dislike?
Homelander hates that he needs, genuinely needs, attention from Madelyn. A strong, non-superpowered female and his direct supervisor. She fascinates him, and he hates that. He hates how weak he is around strong women (Madelyn, Queen Maeve, and in season 2, Stormfront).

What is their sign, and why?
Judgement.

Judgement is someone you might want as the face of an organization regardless of whether or not they’re the real leader.

Homelander is the face of The Seven and the face of Vought cooperation, he is a great figurehead. Because he comes across as nice, wholesome and all-american. He's apple-pie and cider, someone trustworthy and someone who will protect you. And he would, to a point, if it serves the greater good. He is good at getting results, but bad at the paperwork and details that are needed to get there.
