THE UPBRINGING OF A SAVIOR
Drake and his two siblings had the privilege of being raised under two great people: His ambitious father, Randy Hardy, who built his Real Estate Investment brand, Hardy Co., from scratch; and his highly educated, super-powered mother, Helen, who retired her heroic persona before Drake was born. For a rich kid, Drake lived a relatively normal life until his powers began to manifest in his mid-teens. Noticing the changes he was undergoing; his mother revealed her past to him as a superhero to help him guide him through the remainder of high school as a superhuman.
One day, out of sheer boredom, Drake decided to try fighting crime under the mantle of “Captain Smash,” without telling his mother. He had so much fun that day that he decided to turn heroing into a hobby. It wasn’t until he witnessed a family embrace each other after he rescued them from a burning building, did he realize the weight of his contributions as a hero. As he entered his college years, he took his hero work more seriously.
FROM CPT. SMASH TO FALCON
Drake’s family was in Michigan for his graduation when the Qularr attacked. To protect the innocent, Drake left the ceremony to join the fight against the alien invaders. Shortly after Drake departed from his friends and family, the Qularr attacked the school where his friends and family took shelter. To protect the innocent, Drake’s mother, The Falconess, suited up for a final time before falling at the hands of Qularr.
After the invasion, the Hardy’s were devastated by the loss of Helen Hardy. Drake’s father soon fell into a deep depression and stepped down for Drake and his sister Jada to run the family business. The oldest of the siblings, Randy Hardy Jr., ended up moving away to start a family of his own, working as a molecular scientist.
To honor his late mother, Drake changed his heroic persona from Cpt. Smash to Falcon and spent the next 6 years becoming a legend as a hero.
FROM A HERO TO LEGEND
Through his early to late 20s, Falcon defended the earth against countless threats that turned him into a household name. Although his relationship with government sponsored threat prevention agencies isn’t great, he’s listed by many of them as one of earth's best threat prevention measures. Though he’s faced many adversary, the following is a small snippet of some adventures that elevate his stature as a hero to a legend. For fellow roleplayers, the following portion is all public.
The Local Hero - Drake first made local news as Cpt. Smash after defeating a criminal gang that attempted to steal alien artifacts that they believed would take them to the next level.
National News - His heroic status reached national popularity in his early days as Falcon when he stopped the super criminal known as Energy Source, from destroying half of Chicago with their uncontrolled power.
The Global Icon - During his active years in FATE, he became a global icon after taking down the champion and leader of a vicious warrior alien race during their invasion. Though the heroes of earth managed to thwart their attempts to takeover, out of revenge, the race shot their death ray towards the earth to kill millions. Falcon intercepted it in space, and though he was gravely injured, he survived.
A Galactic Warrior - After the events of the invasion, word got out to neighboring planets of earth that were terrorized by the warrior race of what happened on earth. Falcon, amongst other powerful fighters in the galaxy was then recruited to take down the warrior race and earn intergalactic glory.
From Hero To Legend - Falcon’s name was learned across dimensions when he was mistakenly summoned to an apocalyptic dimension. It didn’t take long for him to find a way back home, but when he learned that his dimension was next, he stayed and faced off with the Deity that threatened all realities toe-to-toe and won.
DRAKE HARDY
Drake graduated college with a bachelor’s degree in business and finance. After working in the company for a few years, he and his sister immediately took on managing roles in his father’s company after he stepped down due to personal issues. The two siblings always had a rivalry, but it elevated during this time. As a manager, his sister always had the upper hand, but Drake had his father’s talent for seeing the bigger picture and was great at seeking investments. The two siblings always kept their eldest sibling, Randy Jr. entertained with their complaints about each other.
Eventually, as his heroic presence became more demanding, he agreed to surrender most of his equity in the company to his sister so that she could have better control over the other partners of the company.
Although Drake is no longer a managing partner, he still earns a considerable number of annual distributions from Hardy Co. Over the years, Drake has also accumulated a value of over 200 million dollars from his personal investment portfolio. Drake also was distributed several properties belonging to “Hardy Stay,” a subsidiary of Hardy Co. He uses the one located Downtown in Millennium City as his primary residence.
In the current day, with no more threats on cosmic level, Drake has hung up his tights as he believed he could create more lasting change in his communities as Drake Hardy. Drake uses most of his annual earnings reinvesting in small businesses as well as philanthropic work in suffering communities. To expand his reach, he's maneuvered himself into an executive role for the Millennium City Bank. Drake has also become an adjunct professor for business and finance in some local colleges.
THE POWER
Although Drake believes he inherited his abilities from his mother, inter-dimensional beings that he's interacted with have speculated that his power comes from something so much more incredible. Beings are able to interact with cosmic energies would see that Drake is housing an enormous amount within his body.
Superhuman abilities - Drake possesses super strength, speed, invulnerability, flight, ocular energy projection, a healing factor, and enhanced senses.
Molecular Autonomy - In facing off with various mystical and matter manipulating criminals, Drake has realized he has an unnatural ability to sense and resist abilities that can change his molecular anatomy. Spells that would turn him into a frog or matter manipulative abilities that could turn people into dust wouldn't work on him. This proved very useful when he faced off with The Deity.
Mental Resistance - Drake also possesses minor mental resistances. Although he is subject to harm through mental attacks, he's developed the ability to defend himself from permanent damange and complete mind control through his unnatural willpower.
HIS RELATIONSHIPS
His Parents- Drake's parents are Randy and Helen Hardy. Randy Hardy was founding partner of Hardy Co., and his mother also the superhero known as Falconess. When Helen died as Falconess, fighting to protect Drake's friends and family during the Qularr invasion. After her death, Randy stepped down from Hardy Co. to live the remainder of his life stress-free.
He passed away a few years after his retirement.
Randy Hardy Jr. - Drake's eldest sibling is his brother, Randy Hardy Jr. Of the three siblings, Randy has always shared his mother's endless curiosity the 'strange' in the universe so he grew up to become an excellent scientist who runs his own lab.
Drake and Randy Jr. weren't close when they were younger due to their age gap, however once Randy Jr. learned of his abilities, he became Drake's greatest confidant on his life as a superhero. He has also a source of comfort in dealing with his headache of a sister.
Jada Hardy - Jada Hardy is Drake's older sister. Drake and Jada always had a small rivalry growing up due to being close to the same age. Although they were both attractive and popular, they always found themselves competing in academics, popularity, and friends. Their rivalry worsened when their father stepped down from the company as the two had different visions on future of the business.
Over the years, Drake grew more and more absent for his managing responsibilities due to his heroic persona as Falcon. After a lot of arguing and fighting, Drake eventually agreed to surrender the majority of his equity to his sister so she could have better control over the remaining partners.
Although the two bicker a lot, they still manage to spend time to make quality time for one another.
Sarah Anette - Drake's personal assistant. She's worked for Drake since he started working for Hardy Co. and has stayed with him since he exited. Sarah has enjoyed watching Drake mature into a great man.
UNTIL - The relationship between Falcon and UNTIL started off tumultuously. In his early days as Cpt. Smash, Falcon was framed by a violent shapeshifting bank robber that led the authorities to try to arrest him on the day he was registering with Primus Database.
Although Falcon managed to escape and clear his name, the weeks he spent running from supers and authorities were stressful. The experienced deepened his appreciation for having the ability to take off his mask.
In the years that followed, Falcon's relationship grew even more testy with UNTIL. Every time the topic of registering would came up, he'd have an excuse ready for why he didn't register previously after they saw him previously. Following the events of another criminal related identity crisis, UNTIL grew impatient with Falcon and attempted to make him register by force. By this time, was also done playing games and used force to show them it was never going to happen.
After wasting millions of dollars sending UNTIL soldiers, robots, weapons, and supers in an attempt to apprehend Falcon in the months that followed, UNTIL finally gave up, and accepted that he was far too powerful to be forced to do anything. They now request for his help begrudgingly, due to have powerful and useful he is.
