Claim to Fame

Oliver Queen is an American business magnate, investor, and philanthropist. Like Harry Osborn, Tony Stark, and Bruce Wayne, he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Despite this, it was a rocky start, but after a multiyear island getaway, he's grown and matured into a far better man.


Reputation

As the Green Arrow, Oliver strikes fear into the hearts of criminals. He is rarely seen in daylight, meaning his uniform blends into the background. Sometimes all they can see is a pair of white orbs, his eyes reflecting the moonlight just as the head of his arrow might. He is a vigilante, a criminal, but the good and decent people know that they have nothing to fear from him. He is their protector. He stands for the 99%.


Biography

Oliver Jonas Queen may not have been born on that island, but it's where he became the man he is today. Before he was stranded, he had been nothing more than a spoiled rich kid. He had lived a charmed life. He dated models. He had no responsibilities. He existed, but he contributed nothing to society.

On the island, he had to leave all of that behind. There were no comforts on the island, no five star hotels, and no room service. He barely got by. There were times when his life was almost snuffed out. But he survived. He learned about himself, what he was capable of, some he liked, and some he didn't.

After his rescue, it took him a while to adjust. It's not just a matter of getting used to sleeping in a bed. He had to learn not to be on guard at every moment. In truth, he never really did get over that. He's still guarded. But at least he can open up a little bit, share some of himself with others.

He created the Green Arrow, became a hero, although he's always considered himself more of a hunter. Eventually, he collected some likeminded individuals who would help him in his endeavours. Some of them have worked out and become lifelong friends, but others didn't go so well. He has his regrets. He's far from perfect. In the end, he's just man trying to do good, one deed at a time.

Character Details

Oliver is a swashbuckler at heart. He's rescued his fair share of damsels and he's foiled many a dastardly deed. He is dashing and daring. His courage knows no bounds. And he genuinely cares about people. He has a cavalier attitude and would not look out of place next to the Three Musketeers, Scarlet Pimpernel, Robin Hood, or Zorro. If there's one drawback, it's that he has an eye for the ladies. After all, there's nothing wrong with looking.

He stands up for the tired, the poor, and the huddled masses yearning to breathe free. He cares about the environment, and will defend it. If the person responsible for an environmental disaster disappears, he will hunt that person down and bring them to justice. If the police can't handle a situation, he will. He's willing to kill in self-defence. Otherwise, he will only kill if he has studied the evidence and judged it to be appropriate.

He's comfortable with that. He can make the hard choices. He doesn't lose sleep over them. But the worry he does have is that one day, he might make a mistake. What if he killed someone who he later found out was innocent? What if he made a mistake? Until it happens, he will continue to sleep well. When it finally does, it will devastate him. He'd crawl inside of a bottle, throw himself at the social scene, and may never recover. Not on his own anyway.

He may come across as a dedicated professional. He is charming. He's a gentleman. A white knight if you will. But that's just on the surface. He has his faults. He's a ladies' man. He's a womanizer. He's struggled with relationships, even though all he wants is to settle down and be faithful. Once, he lived the social scene. Nowadays, if he does it, it's more of an act. But that life appealed to him, and he could lose himself in it again.

All he knows for certain is that he is, at his core, a good man. When his time is up, he'll have left this world a better place than when he came into it. And that may be why he continues to be Green Arrow. As long as he fights crime and battles injustice, he'll stay ahead on that cosmic scale.
