A/N: to CLBPeep - 4/5. I have done Christian in this set. Hope you like it.
to TJ Sparkles - 3/5. Thanks for your comments too.
to All other readers - The same applies for this set of 5. 1st to guess each can request a drabble. Plus the Wizard of Oz from the previous set has yet to be guessed correctly.
Jack Sparrow
Opportunity, that's the key. Watching for opportunities, and grabbing them as they come.
Plenty of people say that I only have eyes for gold. I shall clarify right now that that's not true - I have eyes for women too. Of course the best opportunities would be when both are up for grabs. And those, I am particularly good at obtaining.
There have been complaints of my underhanded ways, and of lesser than honourable intentions. 'Pirate,' they'll say, and I am readily admitting to it. Backstabbing, heartbreaking, bootlicking - I'll do whatever it takes to escape with both life and gold intact.
The ends justify the means. They whine because they are losers. While I - I am a winner.
Van Helsing
There are many who still haunt this place, and I am but one of them.
I used to have a normal life. But things happen, and lives change. Now my family is gone, save one. And even that one is trapped within the bounds of insanity and madness. By rights, I should have nothing to live for.
But nothing is right, not anymore. I live on vengeance alone. To extinguish those that dare provoke me, or otherwise compromise my will. Nothing can stand in the way of my pervading darkness.
It is for my enemies that I reserve the greatest mercy - to rest eternally in peace.
Hellboy
The only thing I recall is fire.
My past is a mystery. Most days I get on fine without it. But occasionally, just ever so once in a while, they haunt me. And when they do, I haunt others in turn.
My appearance scares people. Much taller than the average guy, and a hideous face that is not of my own making. The knowledge of it used to torment me, but no longer. I have gotten used to it, much like everything else. Except for the past that I cannot run from, and the fire... The fire that always burns.
It is a gift and a curse. With my abilities, I can reign supreme, but to what end? Instead I prefer to stick to the shadows. Let others have their share of the light for I care not.
Other than fire, there is nothing much I care for anymore.
Nightcrawler
I love performing. It is to entertain that I push myself to the limits, testing every physical boundary. I live to be extreme.
High-flying, death-defying - all those words mean nothing to me. To experience the freedom that flight gives, the rush to the head that I always get, that is true excitement. And the audience, the cheers just empower me all the more, to climb higher, to jump further.
I am like a shooting star. I know I'll crash and burn, but just for that moment, I'll shine brighter than anyone else.
Just for that moment, I am free.
Robin
The only time you hear of me is when I mentioned as an afterthought. Like Batman... And Robin.
The boy wonder. It seems as if I had never grown up. People perpetually remember me as I was then, and never see me as I am now. And always, the reminder of how I am part of a team... I am sick of it.
Sick of never getting a chance to shine. Sick of always being in someone else's shadow. I have my own talents damn it - I can stand alone. All I need is an opportunity.
I do not regret my betrayal of others, nor choosing to do things my own way. Some day, I'll achieve more than they ever have and I show them.
Some day, I'll be a star.
