[Andy hasn’t done much with himself since he’s come to the City. He hasn’t done much with himself back at home either, for that matter, but maybe it’s time to change that.

He’s never been the ambitious sort, never really thought he’d amount to anything and was fairly content with that thought; he had everything he wanted: his videogames, a good place to crash, a friend. Sometimes that’s all you needed, but then there are times where you need more.

The thought had hit him earlier in that week -- no one knows him, not really, and that was okay because he could now be anything that he wanted. He didn’t have to be Andrew Bergman, college drop-out and gas station attendant. He could be the Jersey Devil, fighter of crime and defender of the weak and downtrodden, so why the hell not?

The costume had come through with him; it had been in his backpack and Andy dons it for tonight. Though looking absolutely ridiculous in the purple, homemade trainwreck, he feels strong, valiant, and on top of the world.]

[The video feed clicks on and there is a masked man smiling goofily into the camera.]

Good evening, citizens of the... er, City! It is I, the Jersey Devil, and I have revealed myself to you tonight to let you know that you should never fear! I will be here, watching over you and the rest of the City, keeping evil doers at bay.

[Which, really, the Jersey Devil hasn’t seen any evil doers yet, but one never knew when they’d pop up!]

Should you need me, just call my name and I will be there to defend you!

[And with that, there is a dramatic cape whoosh of his cape and JD is off to stop crime, or at least attempt to. The camera feed clicks off.

However, later in the night, Andy will shapeshift into his Jersey Devil form, the actual monster, to stretch his legs and get a better look at things from topside of the city. It’s about damn time.]

((ooc: Andy will be around in either costume or JD form, you get to pick which you’d like to encounter! It’s like a choose your own adventure. Andy will mostly be running around doing shenanigans and thinking that he’s all that until he gets bored. Monster icons will be from the account

Born and bred. Goes with the name.

Just one -- giant monster shapeshifting power. It's pretty cool, also fits the name.

And what particular tricks can this giant 'monster' do?

Super strength, little gliding... Basically being big and intimidating, which works.

I see.

[ Shelving the info away. For nefarious reasons. ]

And you, what? Skulk around in shadows? Terrify muggers and rapists?

[Oblivious la la la.]

I wouldn't call it skulking... Well, fight them if I have to, bring them to justice. You know, superhero stuff.

Killed anyone yet?

Stomped on them by accident in monster-shape, even?

...No! I'm really careful! And my hooves aren't that big.

[Also, he's been stopped before that's happened by the professionals.]

Still a novice, then.

...Whatever possessed you to become a 'superhero', I wonder?

You get a superpower and what else are you supposed to do with it? Robbing banks isn't my thing, so I went with that.

Not exactly a lucrative profession, though.

Knowing I've helped people is payment enough for me.

Charming. [ Dryly. ] If I see innocents in peril, I'll be sure to alert you.

[ ...Or be too busy devouring them... ]

Thanks! Any help is appreciated, citizen. I can't keep my eyes on everything at once.
