History:
Wiki
Personality:
Words that describe Rip Hunter: stubborn, compassionate, persistant. His family was murdered, and he spent an incredibly long time trying to change it himself by jumping back to rescue them, only to have them die somewhere else, somewhen else. Instead of giving up, he changed his plans. And when those plans didn't work, he changed them again. And again. The impression is given that Rip would tear the timeline apart if it would save his family, he's even said as much.
He is perfectly willing to lie to someone, if it gets what he needs to happen to happen. For instance, he told his team that they were destined to be legends, but that was a lie. He chose them because they were big-picture not consequential to the timeline, and had the skills he needed. That said, he's grown to care about them a great deal. And that said, if they try to stop him from saving his family, he absolutely will not stand for it.
There is a part of Rip that has a tendency to drop into hopelessness when things look, well, hopeless. It's this part of him that needs friends and a team and a family. And it's that part of him, the part that needs these things, that makes people stay. Because he's stubborn, and eventually he'll come around to helping you out too.
His compassion can get the best of him, when it turns to anger. He can be violent, especially when he was growing up as a child in the time master's orphanage. He's more than capable of killing to protect himself, his team or his family.
Why do you think your character would work in this setting?
He is a flux-in, having flown the waverider right through a flux-whole in the time stream. Whoops? He will not be happy about it, but he's used to getting stuck places for periods of time, and hey. When he gets home, he can just time jump. Right?
How do you plan to expand their CR?
CR-wise, he'll probably take the opportunity to make acquaintances with people from other universes. You never know if they'll be helpful in saving his family, after all.
What will your character do for work? Pilot. He's got his own ship, after all.
Inventory:
The Waverider, and everything onboard. The Waverider will not be able to time jump, because it does not have access to the Time Master archives here. It will still work as a ship, however.
