Rorschach's Legend Prologue

In 1977 during the Cold War between the United State of America and the Soviet Union the Keene Act was passed. A new law on American soil permanently outlaws costumed heroes and demanding their retirement. Many costumed heroes are forced to retire prematurely like Nite Owl 2 and Silk Spectre. While others like Dr. Manhattan, Comedian, and Ozymandias finds other means to make their personal talents and vast knowledge useful since their masked personas are now illegal.

But out of all of them there is one among their number who refuses to adapt to the changing times under the whims, greed, and idiocy of much lesser men in his eyes.

Rorschach.

This is a man who refuses to compromise and never surrender. Rorschach will not submit to the new regime banning vigilantism for good. He has vowed to fight crime in open defiance of this law not even with a warrant out for his arrest and detainment. As long as there remains crime, decadence, and corruption in his city Rorschach will be there to bring about justice no matter the form and how it makes the public view him, always leaving behind a calling card on a piece of paper that has a peculiar ink pattern representing his mask.

The city fears Rorschach for he is one of a few people the government cannot control. And as usual what the government cannot control they eventually come to fear and what they come to fear they seek to eradicate.

But the man many have come to be afraid of others have come to respect and admire him for his dedication and passion for justice even if his personal view on the subject is gray at best.

A little girl living in New York City is such a person.

Rorschach rescued her off the streets, an orphan with no parents to protect her and living off whatever she can either find or steal.

Perhaps seeing something in her no one else has, completely out of character from what people actually know about him, Rorschach removes the child from her dangerous circumstances and takes her someplace safe where she can grow up without having to constantly look over her shoulder.

The child is forever in Rorschach's debt and is very grateful to him.

To little girl Rorschach will be her hero for saving her from a life of poverty and what would most likely be an early death.

The girls name is Evangeline.

Evangeline makes a promise that one day she will repay Rorschach for his kindness towards her one way or another.

How do I know so much you may ask?

Well the little girl Evangeline was me.

Authors Note:

September 11th has come and gone once again. I was very young when it happened. Don't know about all of you, but I certainly was really scared. One minute I was at elementary school in class and the next my parents are pulling me out, taking my little sister and I home. That's when we learned the truth. The Twin Towers we'd see all the time whenever we traveled outside the city limits on road trips would no longer be there. We were stunned when we'd seen them destroyed on TV. Those trips were never the same again just like the lives of millions. In honor for the people that fell that day and to those still struggling to survive from the aftermath I suggest a moment of respective silence. I think we all can use that.

Hope you all like this one! I certainly did while writing it for your vast enjoyment! ;D

I've been meaning to make a Watchmen story for a while now, but haven't been able to find the time nor inspiration for it. Recently after visiting NYCC and seeing the Watchmen panel that was there along with reading another Watchmen based story on here it won't leave my head. So now I finally have something to go on and this is in honor of the brand new HBO show coming out soon. I saw the premiere at the pilot episode at NYCC and lets just say the end of it will leave you guessing in an entirely good and out of this world way. So keep your eyes peeled for it.

One problem bugging me about this is what age Evangeline should be. I want her to be young when they first meet and then maybe in her mid teens or a touch older afterwards. I have everything else panned out escept for age.

The Watchmen story I mentioned is called It's The Small Things by lady-warrioress. If you're a Rorschach fan like I am then you have to check it out. Her main character Alice and the bond shared between her and Rorschach is to die for and actually is partial inspiration for this story. I'll tell you she has his character pegged and it's one of the best ones in this category. If you haven't seen it yet then check it out.

Also, just so no one gets confused her character Alice and my girl Evangeline are two entirely different people. I want you to know so no one gets them mixed up.

Big time heads up! Article 13 is on the move again. Our freedom of speech is seriously on the line. Find a legitimate petition that is fighting this decision and sign onto it. Every signature counts to keep what we love alive.

I recently put up some other works I've put out at titled Secret Of Bristol Cove, Predators Redemption, A Revolutionary Romance, Fantine Tezla: Hot Wheels Acceleracers, Magic And the Brave Little Toaster 1, Lavinia: Princess Of Edelweiss, and Nuala: The White Lioness. I highly recommend them. ;D

I have other grand news! I was a patron at New York Comic Con! Ah! I'd been dying to go for years and now I had the opportunity. The Jokers from Impractical Jokers have been here along with Tom Hiddleston and so many others. Over those few days I actually got my picture taken with a couple of other actors/actresses and some really great panels. It really is so exciting there. This is an opportunity of a lifetime so there's no way in hell that I was going to waste a single second of it. No one ever should with something like this. Ever! ;D

For future preferences I highly recommend that you all keep an eye out for when tickets for New York Comic Con are available for purchase again for next year. This is a huge event and you should jump on it whenever you have the chance.
