@Vongola_Hasayo That's fine.

Alright, excellent work everyone. I'm really glad you could all finish your sheets in time.

The judging process'll start as of now. I'm going to discuss the matter with some external judges, which will take about an hour.

Good luck to everyone.

Alright, the time has come (albeit a... bit late).

I thoroughly enjoyed reading all of your character sheets, and I certainly do appreciate the time and effort you all put into making them. Seriously. There's a very diverse set of powers, personalities and backstories - all of which I really do like (which was part of the reason that it took so long to finish deciding - we had a 3 hour discussion about it).

I do want to stress that the other judges and myself have put a significant amount of thought into this, and our decision came from several different factors. If you're curious of said factors, shoot me a PM and I'll gladly explain.


Those of you that were accepted: feel free to put your character sheets into the character tab. If any of you want to make any edits to your completed characters sheets, please just PM me about it before you make them. If any of you are curious as to what's to come for the first arc, feel free to ask.

Once again, thanks to everyone for expressing interest and basically getting this RP off of the ground.

4x Thank Thank

...The character roster is making me realize I need to learn how to shade properly at some point.

Anyways, still baffled how I got through but I like how varied the cast turned out and this looks like it's going to be fun so... Huzzah, I guess!

@Rin Good to hear.

@Ryuji Sakamoto@TBKrunk@Dblade26

The first IC post will be made on Saturday at 8:00 PM, GMT.

In the meantime why don't we all establish your character relations? In other words, discuss how your characters may feel about the other members.

How long has everyone's characters been with the Sentinels? If it's not too much to ask, I'd like Bailey to be the most recent addition to the group. I'm thinking maybe 3-4 months? A lot of Bailey's personal struggle comes down to his own poor self-image as well as figuring out his place within the Sentinels. This would work a lot better if he was a new member. He doesn't necessarily have to be the newest by any means. If that clashes with anyone's intentions for their own character then we can work something out.

I'm quite excited to start writing for Bailey. I think it's because he kind of reminds me of my own adolescent self. I was a shitty teenager.

I'm still thinking about how Bailey thinks about the others, but hopefully I'll have something concrete down soon.

@Ryuji Sakamoto That's a good point, actually, in a broader way such that we could maybe pre-establish the context in which the group was made and sort of like a timeline for each character joining and maybe even previous events that the group had been involved in? I mean in Teen Titans they were already a group that knew their own dynamic and there was a flashback episode to their origin, but it was way later on.

Well, if we're establishing how long everyone's been in the group at least I think it makes sense for Lucille to be a founding member. She's the kind of person who'd jump at the call, really.

As for how she feels about everyone else, well... She's just kind of overly friendly, I guess? I mean I guess it depends on how they feel about her in return, but even then she's the type who just wants to be friends with everyone.

It's hard to describe how Bailey would feel about the others. I've been racking my brain for a while and I think the best way I can describe it is that Bailey is very socially inept and lacks the proper empathy to really relate to others who are not invested in the same things that interest him. For that reason, Bailey and Lucille will probably get along due to them both liking video games. Though he will most likely be that one annoying friend who does nothing but talk about games.

On the other side of the coin, he's also quite self conscious and has a desire to be liked and understood even though he's not so great at the latter himself. As a result he comes off as someone who really tries too hard to make friends, but just says all the wrong things. He gets hung up on what he says easily and spends a lot of time worrying about how his words are perceived.

He basically thinks that he needs to continually prove himself to be worthy of the others friendship. How this is received by the others is dependent on their own respective personalities.

As for specific characters;

Bailey likes Lucille. She's nice and likes video games. Enough said. Her appearance took a bit of getting used to though.

Bailey sees Ken as a standard to hold himself to. Ken is a cool, pretty level headed guy who is also very physically able. Perhaps there's potential for a rivalry here?

Marlin is a freakin' wizard. Bailey thinks that's the coolest thing ever. Marlin is also pretty chill, but Bailey still keeps a distance for now.

Lilith scares Bailey. In her heroic persona, Bailey is terrified of her. Even her regular old nice self feels a little too unapproachable to him. Not to say it's because Lilith is like that, but rather Bailey doesn't see himself as someone she should waste her time on.

I'm probably going to have to change how Lilith's heroic persona reciprocates others because reading back on it, it seems a bit out of the ordinary for a light-hearted roleplay, as it seems more like something out of Young Justice. What's most likely going to happen is that the spirit makes her more of a leader and vigilant instead of only needing a personality for her purpose, as it gives her more depth.

First off, I like how a lot of the team is sorta magically oriented, but in pretty different ways! Then there's Ken, who's a product of science but has semi-magical powers, and then Bailey, who's full on science and the newest member.

Secondly, Ken/Rising Son's not as enthusiastic as Lucille about wanting to be friends with everyone because I think inherently he'd be just too reserved and chill, though he's definitely loving no longer being a laboratory experiment and really getting to experience the wider world. She'd probably help him loosen up a bit with her constant genki energy.

I could definitely see a rivalry between Ken and Bailey, albeit maybe not an antagonistic one? They have pretty divergent interests and opposing personal traits, and Rising Son was raised/created by a world famous scientist who was neglectful at best so technopathic powers could rub him the wrong way a bit. Rai's not the type to get hostile over it, but I could definitely see an interesting dynamic between them.

Marlin would probably be someone Rising Son is pretty comfortable around since both of them do a lot of reading and are fairly chill (Rai's powers even depend on his ability to maintain chillness) but he'd probably try and push Marlin to be a little more active. Also maybe try to teach him kung fu so he's not so squishy.

I'll reserve any relation building for Justice until her personality in and out of powered mode gets resolved, I guess.

@Dblade26 Their rivalry would definitely be a friendly one. Neither of them is hostile. If anything, Bailey looks up to Ken and his competitiveness with him is just his awkward way of showing it.

EDIT: Also, I'm moving out of home next weekend so I'll be doing one final furniture/bits and bobs shop tomorrow. May or may not be able to post.
