Join Nightwing and Zatanna, along with ten recruits, on an adventure that will pit us against the remains of Hawkman's rogues gallery that will unleash Hell on Earth. The only cannon younger characters are the two mentors so anything is possible. You wanna recreate Aqualad and rename him Aquaboy? Have at it. Want a Leaguer to choose an original character to be in the group? That's what I'm hoping! Characters based on existing material as well as complete originals welcomed. At this point though no sidekicks have been around. Superboy never existed, there's no Kid Flash, etc. Your characters will have to have something in common with the Justice League Sponsor though, be it similar personality, similar MO, operate in the same city, etc.



Nightwing - He's been training with Batman now for the better part of five years. If everyone in the League is between 27-35 years old, Grayson would just be entering his 20's. He took the alias Nightwing less than a year ago and took Batman's spot in the League after tagging along for a handful of JL missions as Robin.

Zatanna - Similar to the animated series, Zatarra was a member of the JL before his daughter. Like Nightwing, she took her father's place on the League roster after he officially retired from superheroics. Z is also just now entering her 20's, but has already made a name for herself fighting back the demons from the Chaos Dimension as well as joining Constantine for a few supernatural adventures. She recently had a handful of shows in Vegas that set her up for the next few years as far as her bank accounts were concerned.

My character will be based in Metropolis and sponsored by Superman. Below is a list of JL 2020 members and as characters are accepted they'll be listed next to their sponsors taking that particular sponsor off the table. Nightwing and Zatanna will also get to sponsor a couple young heroes.

JL 2020:

Superman --- ANAD Steel
Wonder Woman --- Wonder Girl
Booster Gold ---
Flash --- Accelerate
Vixen --- Stinger
Aquaman ---
Captain Atom --- Bombshell
Black Lightning --- Sun Fist
Red Tornado [F] ---
Nightwing --- Gargoyle
Zatanna ---

If you've read this far know that the tone of this RP will be similar to that of the popular animated series that's about to get a new 3rd season. I'm gonna shoot for something more PG-13 with strong language out the window, it just doesn't suit the theme well. I'm gonna insist on High Casual standards, if you can't get a couple paragraphs and a little dialogue in each post then just move along. A post a week in the IC is all I'm gonna ask of players, and to keep up with random game chatter and superhero discussion in the OOC once in awhile to let us know you're still alive and aware the game's moving forward. Here's the Character Sheet requirements if anybody wants to see this happen.

Alias -
Age - [16-22 years only]
Sponsor -

So who wants to kick some supervillain ass and try to become members of the Justice League proper?

~KL~

I'm up for some YJ action!

Either I bring back an old friend...



Or I make a new Kid Flash...

This definitely looks interesting. If I decide I have the time for this I'd like to join in

Nice to see you, @DrewVonAwesome. I am for sure interested in this! YJ is on of my all-time favorite shows, I was so excited to hear it's getting a third season (Especially if it's going to be done by Netflix!) so I'd definitely be interested in a good RP.

Anybody have any ideas who they'll have as a sponsor?

~KL~

I like the idea of a kid who wants to do good getting tangled up in all of Booster Gold's publicity stints and merchandising deals

No clue yet. Maybe Zatanna or WW?

I'm interested. I really want to use Starro Jr for this

Name - Starro Jr
Alias - Bright Star
Age - 16
Sponsor - Green Lantern
Personality - Smart, determined and hot-headed
Experience - 1 year
Powers -
Telepathy: Starro Jr communicates through the use of telepathy.

Energy Absorption: Starro can absorb all forms of radioactive and electrical energy.

Energy Projection: He can discharge energy in the form of beams in case his power ring is empty of power.

Flight: Jr can fly at high speeds in both space and the air.

Green Lantern Power-ring: As a member of the Green Lantern Corp, Starro Jr can create hard light constructs through the use of his willpower and the strength of these constructs are determined by the power of the ring user's will.
Weaknesses - His race is very weak against garden lime. Since he is a small Starro spawn, Jr is not very durable without his power ring to protect him with energy barriers. If his ring runs out of power or he loses it then he will no longer have access to the abilities of a Green Lantern and has to recharge with a power core.
Appearance - He is about the size of a golden retriever dog. When using his power ring his body glows bright green and the symbol and uniform of the Green Lanterns appear on him.

BRIEF Bio - darkness. That was all I remembered when I first awoke in the ocean off the coast of gotham city. I was all alone and I remembered being so afraid. But then the sun rose over the water and I felt its warmth and light wash over me. The sun made me no longer afraid and I willed myself out of the water. I soon discovered what I could do and what I was. I am Starro Jr and this is my story.

Starro Jr is a spawn of the starfish like alien known as Starro and was sent to earth as a scout for seeing if the world was good for conquest. When he arrived on the planet, Jr was struck by debris from a battle going on between a hero and a villain, causing him to lose his memories and purpose. After awaking in the waters of Gotham city, Jr found himself on a strange world with no idea of what he was suppose to do. After spending months observing and studying the earthlings, he decided to help do some good of his own.

His first attempt at fighting a villain did not go well and he was almost killed in the process, but he didn't give up. He was afraid of being alone and in darkness, but his will kept him going with his work as a crime fighter. During one of his battles, he would have died, but he overcame his fear and then a glowing green ring came down from the sky. Starro Jr of earth, you have shown the willpower to overcome great fear. Welcome to The Green Lantern Corp. it said to him and when it attached to one of his tentacles, he felt a great power rush through him.

With his new ring and powers he was able to easily beat his foe and Jr became the Green Lantern of earth. Starro Jr wants to do his best and he hopes to become a great hero.
Notes - Starro Jr met Hal Jordan after being taken to Oa to train and Hal took him under his wing.

Or I make a new Kid Flash...

I'd like to see what you could do with a new Kid Flash. I started to go with my multi-man Ditto again before deciding I wanted a fresh start with a new YJ game. I think a good origin could be tying a kid to the 'Citizen Speedsters' that were in the Rebirth Flash comics where a dozen or so citizens in Central City got superspeed. Could've happened to a smaller degree and you could've been like... one of three or four new Flashes?

~KL~

@Weird Tales Green Lantern isn't in the League listed in the OP for a very specific reason, so any type of Lantern character won't work here.



^^^^ After the initial arc.

what happened to green lantern?

@Weird Tales He was killed and his ring was taken. Mongul is gonna pull something of an Infinity Gauntlet but with rings...

~KL~

@The Kid Lantern Are those the only sponsors we can choose from, or can we use people like Static or Blue Beetle (Reyes)?

EDIT: Or Bumblebee.

Yeah those are the only sponsors. Though if you wanted a character like Static, Black Lightning would be his sponsor. I could see Vixen sponsoring a Bumblebee type character as well as Booster Gold sponsoring a Beetle-styled character.

~KL~

as well as Booster Gold sponsoring a Beetle-styled character.

~KL~

I was going to ask if there was a particular reason Booster Gold was included but not Blue Beetle

@Prints Avoid He's there specifically to sponsor somebody similar to Blue Beetle or somebody from the future like himself perhaps. Or just any other character seeking fame...

_________________________________________

Name - William 'Will' Wayde

Alias - Steel II

Age - 19

Sponsor - Superman

Personality - intelligent, quiet, confident

Experience - six months

Powers -

Will possesses no superhuman powers. He is an exceptionally gifted intellect that specializes in various fields of engineering. Graduating both high school and technical college in record time, he built bullet proof armor whose computerized pneumatic exoskeletal joints gave him superhuman strength in the form of electro-magnetic field generation. He also uses his tech to electro-magnetically propel himself through the air in the form of 'Super Jumps', as regular flying makes him sick.

Faceplate systems include broadband communications array, VDU readouts for environmental controls, and retractable thermal vision lenses.

Hammer Abilities

Remote-controlled
Can alter trajectory or stop mid-throw
Polarizing inertial dampers within hammer increase inertia relative to distance hurled
Magnetically attaches to back of armor.
Segmented handle telescopes into locked position.

Weaknesses -

Exhaustion will always be the bane of his existence. Vision based and noise based attacks, as well as mental attacks affect him the same as anyone. Enchanted weaponry Trumps tech and any alien Super DNA laying around as well.

Appearance -



BRIEF Bio -

Wayde was your average software developer working at Steelworks when he stumbled on the secret of his boss... that he was once the ally of Superman called Steel! Will worked for weeks building part of his own tech enhanced armor before revealing to his employer that he knew about his secret identity. It had been a couple years since John Irons stopped trying to be a hero to focus on his company and raising his youngest daughter Natasha who was still just fourteen. Irons began mentoring Wayde when not actually at work and mentioned Superman looking for a recruit for some new League outreach program of sorts. Wayde was the first person Irons thought of.

Over the last five months, William Wayde had put himself out there to try and gain some attention. There was an all new and all different Steel running around. Surely nobody would confuse him with the last one... he didn't wear a full suit of armor and doesn't have a cape. Then again sometimes people look past certain things and their own stupidity takes over.

Will eventually caught his break weeks ago when going up against the villain Deadline who was a mercenary hired to kill a reporter at the Daily Planet: Clark Kent.

Notes - Steel caught Deadline setting up to take down Clark Kent and a fight ensued. After getting away from Perry White, Superman finally hit the scene. However, Will had already managed to completely take down the mercenary. The hammer was just too much for the guns and ammo to be effective. Seeing firsthand what the kid was capable of was enough to know John Irons did right by this kid. Superman explained the Young Justice program and Will accepted the invite. Really... who could turn Superman down?



Clark Kent was in the office of Perry White, editor of the Daily Planet. The older gentleman had been going off on the disguised Kryptonian, for chasing a story the editor told him to stay away from. The last time Intergang was pursued a city was left in ruins thanks to a giant humanoid machine, and dozens of craters were left throughout the town, and several branches of STAR Labs across the nation suffered damage and a total of four casualties. Clark could hear the mercenary setting up for a kill. Perry's office was the least populated part of the building, so Superman stayed put and didn't act alarmed. He half listened to the editor tearing into him as he used his X-Ray vision to look at the scene outside. It was 4 pm on a Tuesday. That's when the all new Steel hit the scene.

"What's the matter with you, Kent? Am I boring you?" Perry White asked standing up from his office chair.

"No... no it's not that Mr. White. I just thought I heard something outside..." the nervous sounding Clark responded.

Outside...

"That's a nice gun, bet it's not for paintball!" Steel screamed after landing on top of the neighboring building where the merc was setting up.

The masked teen threw his hammer and destroyed the large gun and the hammer hit the ground on the far side of the rooftop. The globe on top of the Daily Planet could be seen behind the mercenary and the fallen hammer.

"You think I only brought one gun?!" the man screamed, "I'm DEADLINE, the HUMAN WEAPON!"

He came in close quarters and fired a couple shots in between a flurry of punches that just bounced off the kid's armor. When Will pulled back to throw a knockout punch he was shocked to see his enemy phase through the attack leaving the new Steel off his guard and on the ground.

"That armor's not half bad kid. Might make a buck off it once I ace you and this reporter..." Deadline joked aiming his pistol in the back of the teen head where the face-plate didn't cover.

"You'd get more for the hammer, idiot..." Steel responded, "Return." and as the last word escaped his mouth the hammer lifted itself from the ground and flew back towards the two men knocking the assassin out cold before resting in the hand of the teen inventor.

Three minutes had gone by. Maybe four. Clark Kent finally escaped the fury of his editor in chief. The reporter rushed to a storage closet and then flew out of the window just in time to see the young hero standing over the merc and crushing the last of his guns.

"You're that kid John was telling me about aren't you?" Superman asked.

"This guy phased through an attack earlier, you might wanna call somebody before he wakes back up..." Steel said in a disguised voice calmly.

"So do you know John or is there some other kid running around in a Steel suit and using a hammer?" Superman asked again touching down on the rooftop within arms reach of Deadline and the new Steel.

"I'm sorry Superman, I'm just trying to stay calm and not go geek mode. I'm a big fan." Will replied trying to keep his cool, and stand a little taller in the presence of greatness.

"It's good to finally meet you..." Superman began, extending his hand for a shake and quickly getting the hand of Will's, "Did John tell you anything about the program...?"

@The Kid Lantern My sheet is finished now.

@The Kid Lantern you know I am down for this. You know my Wonder Woman daughter will be showing up.

Got to make some changes to her backstory.
