<div style="text-indent:40px;">Evette Moore was a receptionist at Westside Cycle Repair that Charlie had a crush on. Frustrated with his cowardice, Evette eventually dragged him out on a date to tour the sites of Millennium City. The night took a grim turn when Charlie and Evette were held up at gunpoint in a dark alley near the shop. Overstruck with fear, Charlie froze as he watched Evette struggle to keep her purse. Evette was shot during the scuffle, and the robber escaped. With Evette dying in his arms, it was her last words, '''''"Why didn't you help me, Charlie?"''''', that would repeat in his mind over and over to this day...

<div style="text-indent:40px;">Crippled by guilt and constant reminders of Evette's death, Charlie quit Westside Cycle Repair. He decided to spend a few months in the Philippines to clear his mind, where his now retired father runs a chicken farm. One morning, he encountered a snake slithering around the chicken coop. His father grabbed one of his fighting roosters, and pitted it against the snake, killing it. Impressed with the rooster's quick reactions and counter-attacks, Charlie said to his father, ''"I didn't know they could fight like that. I thought chickens were scared."''

<div style="text-indent:40px;">Tormented by Evette's death, Charlie quit Westside Cycle Repair. In an effort to gain some clarity, he decided to spend a few months in the Philippines and help out at his now retired father's chicken farm. One morning, he encountered a snake slithering around the chicken coop. His father grabbed a fighting rooster, and pitted it against the snake. They both watched as the rooster danced, dodged, and countered the snake's strikes until the it grew tired. The rooster then landed a killing blow, picked up the snake's body, and ran off with it. Impressed with the rooster's reflexes and tenacity, Charlie said to his father, ''"I didn't know they could fight like that. I thought chickens were afraid of everything."''

  <div style="text-indent:40px;">''"It takes years to build a reputation,"'' his father said. ''"But only a few minutes to change it."''
+
  <div style="text-indent:40px;">'''''"Chickens ARE afraid of everything,"''''' his father said jokingly. '''''"It's just that this one didn't want to believe it."'''''
−
<div style="text-indent:40px;">These words of wisdom made Charlie realize all he had lost by giving in to fear, and bravery is the only path to the redemption he longs for. Reaching this epiphany, Charlie set up a makeshift dojo on the farm, and started a regimen of combat training that mimicked his father's gamefowl. He trained so intensely that after a year he was almost unrecognizable. His body was extremely lean and muscular, and he became so quick and fearless that he was handling the snakes that infested his father's farm bare-handed. Reinvigorated with confidence, Charlie moved back to Millennium City and returned to his old job at Westside Cycle Repair. He started crimefighting on his days off as an unknown vigalante, but realized that the youth needed a persona they could rally behind. Modifying a costume he bought at the Halloween store, Charlie Clint now patrols the streets of Millennium City as The Plucky Daredevil known as Rooster-Man.

<div style="text-indent:40px;">These words made Charlie think, realize all he had lost by giving in to fear, and ultimately conclude that bravery is the only path to self-redemption. Inspired by this breakthrough, Charlie set up a makeshift dojo. He devised a combative fitness regimen, and started training intensely. ''***Insert "Eye of the Tiger" here.***''  After six months, Charlie was almost unrecognizable. He went from an average build to extremely lean and muscular. He became so quick, nimble, and fearless that he was handling the infesting snakes bare-handed. Reinvigorated with confidence, Charlie moved back to Millennium City and returned to his old job. At first he started crimefighting on his days off as an unknown vigilante, but later realized the neighborhood kids needed a persona they could root for. Modifying a costume he bought at a Halloween outlet store, Charlie Clint now patrols and protects the streets of Millennium City as The Plucky Daredevil officially known as Rooster-Man.

'''"Pun-ishment" Banter -''' The most notable tactic in Rooster-Man's arsenal. His one-liners are so distractingly annoying that Cosmic-level threats with no comprehension of the English language often experience a high level of irritation. When directed at a specific target, it gives the recipient an uncontrollable urge to make Rooster-Man shut up. This causes the target to completely focus on him, keeping others safe from aggression.

While Rooster-Man is loathed by local authorities and more exemplary heroes, the citizens treat him as a bit of a local treasure. Because of this, MCPD pretty much lets him be, due to the political ramifications of locking him up. Celebrity status aside, Rooster-Man is a very polite, very approachable, very charming person, and has never been known to turn down a drink or selfie with a fan or friend.

Background and Origin

Charlie Clint

Charles "Charlie" Clint was born to a Filipina nurse and an American mechanic in San Francisco, CA. Charlie's mother died during labor, and he was raised by his father Harry. He spent most of his youth hanging out and helping at his father's motorcycle shop. In his formative years, his classmates nicknamed him "Chicken Charlie" because he would never stand up to the bullies that troubled him. Shortly after graduation, Charlie moved to Millennium City to attend Ravenswood Acedemy, but dropped out after 3 months to avoid being bullied. He began work at Westside Cycle Repair instead, and has been fixing motorcycles ever since.

Death of Evette

Charlie had a huge, but secret crush on Evette Moore, the receptionist at Westside Cycle Repair. Evette would initiate conversations with Charlie, but he would always find a way to blunder. Frustrated with his cowardice, Evette dragged him out on a date to tour the sites of Millennium City. The night took a grim turn when Charlie and Evette were held up at gunpoint near the shop. Overstruck with fear, Charlie froze as he watched Evette struggle to keep her purse. Evette was shot in the scuffle, and the robber escaped. Evette dying at his side, her last words, "Why didn't you help me, Charlie?", would continue to haunt him to this very day...

Birth of Rooster-Man

Tormented by Evette's death, Charlie quit Westside Cycle Repair. In an effort to gain some clarity, he decided to spend a few months in the Philippines and help out at his now retired father's chicken farm. One morning, he encountered a snake slithering around the chicken coop. His father grabbed a fighting rooster, and pitted it against the snake. They both watched as the rooster danced, dodged, and countered the snake's strikes until the it grew tired. The rooster then landed a killing blow, picked up the snake's body, and ran off with it. Impressed with the rooster's reflexes and tenacity, Charlie said to his father, "I didn't know they could fight like that. I thought chickens were afraid of everything."
"Chickens ARE afraid of everything," his father said jokingly. "It's just that this one didn't want to believe it."
These words made Charlie think, realize all he had lost by giving in to fear, and ultimately conclude that bravery is the only path to self-redemption. Inspired by this breakthrough, Charlie set up a makeshift dojo. He devised a combative fitness regimen, and started training intensely. ***Insert "Eye of the Tiger" here.*** After six months, Charlie was almost unrecognizable. He went from an average build to extremely lean and muscular. He became so quick, nimble, and fearless that he was handling the infesting snakes bare-handed. Reinvigorated with confidence, Charlie moved back to Millennium City and returned to his old job. At first he started crimefighting on his days off as an unknown vigilante, but later realized the neighborhood kids needed a persona they could root for. Modifying a costume he bought at a Halloween outlet store, Charlie Clint now patrols and protects the streets of Millennium City as The Plucky Daredevil officially known as Rooster-Man.

General Perception

Rooster-Man gained national attention for publicizing and escalating his feud with Mayor Biselle, after the mayor called him, "some buffoon in a chicken suit littering feathers all over the city". While Rooster-Man is loathed by local authorities and more exemplary heroes, the citizens treat him as a bit of a local treasure. Because of this, MCPD pretty much lets him be, due to the political ramifications of locking him up. Celebrity status aside, Rooster-Man is a very polite, very approachable, very charming person, and has never been known to turn down a drink or selfie with a fan or friend.
