Alias: Accel
Experience: 60 days
Hometown: Dallas, Texas
Age: 17
Powers: Accel has an incomplete connection to the Speed Force. This gives her a number of tertiary and related abilities. Essentially she can accelerate the molecular motion of another person or object. This allows her to give temporary velocity to other people, or accelerate an object until it explodes. Her brain also perceives her environment at the rate of a speedster.
Weaknesses: First off, Carmelita can accelerate other people and inanimate objects, but her own body lacks a direct connection to the Speed Force. As such, she cannot accelerate herself and thus is limited to the speed of a normal, moderately fit woman. Further, anybody that she accelerates doesn't maintain their speed for more than a second or two. She's also prone to becoming extremely bored and disinterested, as her heightened perception of time is always active.
Reason for joining Robin?: Carmelita wants to make a difference, to be part of something bigger than herself. Since her powers work best in a team environment, and Robin is recruiting...
Appearance:
Standing at five foot ten and weighing a decent 140 lbs., Carmelita possesses a lean but muscular build. Her skin is a smooth caramel thanks to her Mexican heritage, and the envy of many a woman. Her eyes are a brown-hazel that are best at expressing determination, and utter boredom. Her hair is a thick light brunette that hangs just to her shoulder blades. Normally she's happy to wear tight t-shirts and messy torn jeans for that "girl next door" sort of look, while her hero costume as Accel ramps up the "messy" while adding a touch of classy style. Composed of a red motorcycle suit with black underneath, it's been outfitted with extra plates of armor over her vitals. Orange highlights the belt and padded gloves, as well as her chest insignia - twin lightning bolts in the shape of a pair of wings. An orange domino mask completes the look.
BRIEF Bio: Carmelita was born and raised in a middle class household in Dallas. Her father was the a mid-management engineer at the local branch of Kord Industries, while her mother stayed at home with Carmelita, her brother, and sister. As she grew up, she preferred more tomboyish activities, taking after her father, while maintaining a feminine appearance. Once she was old enough, Carmelita was allowed to help her dad out in the garage, tinkering and working on various machines, like motorcycles and electronics.

One day Carmelita was working on a motorcycle in the shop and realized she was out of oil, so she headed out to get more. Unbeknownst to her, or anybody at the time, there was an epic battle raging all over the world between two speedsters displaced by time. A future version of the Flash, Bart Allen, was locked in mortal combat with the deadly Eobard Thawne. It was unfortunate that the Mexican American girl happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time as she suddenly found herself moved around the world at speeds she couldn't comprehend. The Reverse Flash had decided to take her hostage to use as leverage in his battle against the Allen-Thawne crossbreed abomination, but Bart had snatched her up and the conflict continued at such intense speeds that they had to enter the Speed Force itself.

To the speedsters, the battle might as well have taken days. To Carmelita, she barely had the time to blink before she was deposited back where she had originally been picked up, completely disoriented. Shaking off the experience and the weird visions, she went back to her day, but quickly realized she was... different. Other humans had been exposed to the Speed Force without protection before, but this time was different. Some of the limitless energy had touched her, changed her irreparably. However she had not been chosen by the Speed Force. She wasn't a proper speedster, even if she had a couple of their traits. Now trapped in an ironic hell, Carmelita, a speedster at heart, is stuck in a world moving in eternal slow motion. She put together a costume and jumped at the call of heroics, answering a call by a teen in Gotham going by Robin. Carmelita hopes to prove herself as a true hero in hopes that the Speed Force will properly choose her, both to validate her as a force of justice, and to release her from hell.
Notes: Keeps a number of small objects in her utility belt for quick bomb charge.
Hopes to be taught shuriken justu by the Batman in order to become more effective.
Prefers to speak in as few words as possible to keep things moving and appreciates the same from her peers.
"Villain monologues" are not tolerated. They're long winded enough when they aren't speaking at the speed of a snail.

How does your character feel about:

G-Man - "Like wine, he gets better with age."

Even though Calvin is not the youngest member of the team, Carmelita has taken to treating him as the "kid" of the group, at least in as much as she can treat anyone different given the social restraints she has. He's been the most open, discounting the twins, and so she likens his previous exploits as more to that of a kid taking advantage of his natural talents than a malicious cheater. In her mind, he's like that guy who found out he can gross out the others by squirting milk through his nose, so he uses that in a game to distract and win. He hasn't outgrown that to be a "real" hero yet, but she fully believes that he will, given enough time.

Phantom Girl - "I get the feeling she doesn't trust me. The feeling is mutual."

Phantom Girl, or "Katty," is without question the member of the team that Carmelita dislikes the most. Her powers and effectiveness in the field are unquestionable, but her background and morals are not. The Latina girl has put a good amount of time into researching her fellow teammates, but Katty appears to be a total enigma, a girl with no past. The team has been together for several weeks now, but for Carmelita it has been somewhere in the ballpark of ten years, and in all that time she has had a nagging feeling that something about their resident ghost just isn't right. She hopes that Katty hasn't noticed her suspicions, that any unconscious act of mistrust has been chalked up to her usual gruff and to the point demeanor, but she can't count on that forever. If Carmelita ever discovered the girl's association with the Jokerz, accusations would fly.

Accel - "Keep moving through Hell and sooner or later you'll get to Heaven."

Red Arrow - "Half the time I want to smack him for wasting my time. The other half I want to praise his gadget design. It works well with my engineering."

Conflicted is perhaps the best word used to describe how Carmelita feels about the Red Arrow. On one hand, he's clearly a legacy hero that comes from a long line of known and effective vigilante. On the other hand, his inexperience and naivety are a liability in the field. He likes to hear himself talk too, which is a problem for her. Before the "incident" that gave her her powers, she'd have loved to carry on a conversation with the metahuman archer, as she was always so sociable, but now if you can't get to the point in five words or less, she usually can't hold attention that long and forgets the first half of the sentence before you finish the whole thing. Naturally, that leads to some major irritation. Usually enough time has passed that she forgives and forgets by the end of it though, so he isn't aware of just how much he pisses her off. Plus, as a mechanic, she greatly respects his engineering skills, which is something they can bond over.

Name:
Jude Davis

Alias:
N/A, hasn't really thought about it

Experience:
86 Days

Hometown:
Blüdhaven

Age:
20

Powers:
Unbeknownst to Jude, the "comet" that struck him was actually the depowered staff of an Indigo Lantern Tribesman. When it struck the earth it had no way of protecting itself and shattered on impact, embedding hundreds of shards into Jude's body. Normally the shards are inert and powerless, but when Jude sees someone in trouble the fragments absorb his compassion in an effort to recharge and reform.. However due to the damage the purified emotional energy leaks into Jude's body, strengthening him and shielding him from harm. So far the highest level of strength he can reach is to lift 25 tons but it's a rare occurrence, with 10 tons being the norm.

Weaknesses:
As his powers are fueled by his compassion Jude needs an object to project upon for his abilities to work, otherwise he is completely powerless. He must be able to see or hear people in need or in pain to activate his abilities, otherwise he's a just a normal guy.

Reason for joining Robin?:
Initially agreed to joining because he was already fighting crime, might as well get a roof over his head for it. However as time went on Jude begrudgingly found himself getting endeared to the young hero's lofty ideals and his own desire to protect people.

Appearance:
Standing at 6'4 Jude has always been a big kid and with his training under Batman has begun to develop some real muscle. He's got the face of a thug, very rough with a nose forged by one punch too many and peppered with small scars that appear to have cut and burned their way through in equal measures. These peculiar scars travel downwards and touch each limb one way or another, with the majority of them clustered around his chest. Finally his irises have changed to indigo and glow when his powers are in use, faint indigo vapor trails rising from his eyes while light leaks from his scars.

His choice in clothing is very practical, simple and dark t-shirts, thick jeans, and steel toed boots being the staple. The flashiest thing he owns is a leather jacket he stole from a crook, a well worn thing with yellow sleeves and a thunderbolt embroidered on the back. In fact, Jude's "hero outfit" is little more than what he was wearing that day, a bandana pulled over the lower half of his face, a pair of sunglasses, and a simple billed hat. He shaves his head.

Personality:
Jude is, for the most part a very thin brick wall. The stoicism is very much real and it'll take some work to punch through, but once you do you'll find that It's all a farce. As much as he's loath to admit it, Jude feels far too much for his own good and has been forced to bottle it up for far too long. Needing to grow up fast for the benefit of others, Jude isn't equipped to deal with the flood of emotions he's been walling off for the past ten years and is struggling to keep it all contained and out of sight from the others.

Yet, when he isn't tiptoeing around a mental breakdown, you will find him to be an affable if not restrained sort. He doesn't normally shy away from social interactions and will usually indulge his teammates in whatever they ask of him outside of duty. He has a dry, sardonic humor that uses as both a way to connect to others and as a defense mechanism. Jude has a soft spot for kids and prioritizes their safety far above his own, this spreads to most people younger than him but the paternal feelings leave around 18. He doesn't smile often but when he does, it rivals the sun.

BRIEF Bio:
His is a long story, full of loss, hardship, pain, and perseverance. It began soon after his twelfth birthday when his father, an retired boxer who owned a gym, refused to pay protection money from one of the local gangs and sent their boys packing with some new broken bones and missing teeth. Naturally the gang didn't appreciate this much and decided an example was needed. Que one fire bombing and Jude was sans a father, a home, and bounced between foster homes for a year before finally running away all together with his friends, Roach and Avery.

The years went by, the three urchins adopting a nomadic lifestyle of pickpocketing, petty thievery, and eventually mugging to get by while avoiding the various street gangs like the plague. They became known for protecting other kids and spying on parents they suspected of abusing their kids, gathering evidence and anonymously tipping off CPS. Around the time of his eighteenth birthday the three had become something like folk heroes to the little kids of The Blüd, with Jude especially taking time to teach many kids how to throw a punch like his own old man did for him.

Things took a turn for the sour however when a splinter gang from Gotham showed up and started raising hell. They destroyed and hurt people for the sheer sadism of it, claiming it was all a big joke and they were the punch line. Jude didn't like that shit at all, and neither did the Black Street Hounds. The Hounds were one of the "good gangs", staying away from drugs and mainly working through extortion and violence to keep order in their turf. Jude, Roach, and Avery soon offered their services if it meant getting at this gang of jokers who had endangered a lot of people. The leader of the Hounds agreed and soon enough there was a brawl.

The fighting was intense, the Hounds were a tough crew but this new gang was hopped on so many drugs that they took every hit with a laugh and fought twice as hard as before. The fighting was caught in a stalemate until Roach was brought down by five gang members, holding him down as they stabbed him to death. Seeing his childhood friend laying in a pool of his own caused something in Jude snap and from what he was told later, become the scariest thing anyone had ever seen. Taking a wrench Jude became a whirlwind of blows, breaking arms, fracturing ribs, and pulverizing the jaws of those who had killed his friend. Then, seemingly as an act of divine will, his world exploded into shrapnel and fire as a comet struck at his feet.

Unconsciousness took him soon after the blast and when he next woke he was in the basement of the Hound's doc. He was soon brought up to speed as he'd been unconscious for days. After his outburst and the comet strike, the outsiders wavered for the first time and the Hounds pounced. The fight ended soon after and the outsiders were shattered, scattering to the four winds. Unfortunately there was no saving Roach and he bled out on the ground.

Jude and Avery were devastated and tried to cope, with various levels of success. Jude tried burying himself with the kids, teaching them the right spots to hit if someone pulls a knife on you, while Avery took to bottles and pills. Jude tried to be there for them, he really did, but there's only so many times you can hold back your friends hair as they vomit in a toilet. After one shouting much too many, Jude packed a bag and left, hitchhiking around before settling in Gotham a year later.

Gotham was better than The Blüd, but only just. He only had to worry about getting mugged once a week and he even got a job in a small time library. He discovered his powers two months into his time in Gotham when he came to the defense of an old lady who got cornered by some thugs, sending the leader of the poor bastards flying three yards with a shove.

After that he began to experiment, quickly finding out the hard way that he couldn't just run up on some thugs and get super powers. It took him about two weeks before he realized the trigger was innocent people in trouble, by that time already growing a name for himself as troublemaker in the eyes of the local thugs. This came to a head when a kid in a red suit showed up while he was knocking heads together and helped him put out the trash.

Robin had heard rumors of a guy with a heck of a wallop protecting folks for the past month and wanted him to join his little club. Jude, freshly evicted from his rat hole of an apartment, agreed and the two immediately hit it off. Jude was impressed with the kids abilities and while his recklessness was a bit concerning to some others it wasn't much different from what he did at his age and silently encouraged the whole thing. A tune he changed right after finding out that he died.

Since then he's tried carrying on as normal, busting heads when he can, working odd jobs when he can't, but this had hit a little too close for Jude's liking and was preparing to pack up and leave once again before Batman contacted him and brought the band back together. Now he's more determined then ever to see this done, for his own sake more than anything else.

Notes:

• Jude is in near constant pain, but manageable, pain from the fragments embedded in his body. As a consequence he doesn't get much restful sleep and is dependent on ibuprofen to get him through the day without snapping at people.
• As far as Jude knows the battery that gives him his power is magical in nature and has pursued occult texts in an effort to understand what's happened to him. He never made much progress by himself but as soon as he got sponsored by Batman he's been able to get his hands on more legitimate tomes. He may not be able to do much yet but he can recognize most forms of magic and make educated guesses on the stuff he doesn't yet understand.
• He isn't proud of it, but Jude does snag alcohol from the criminals he incapacitates if he can get away with it.
• On that note Jude is unrepentant in his scavenging of thugs he beats up, mostly taking money and clothes that might fit him. Any time he's called on it he'll usually dismiss them with a frown and a wave, citing his unemployment and the fact that they're criminals before going back to it.
• Due to a splinter of the Joker Gang being the cause of Roaches death, Jude has a particular and intense hatred of them and everything they do.
• Has a deep fondness for cats.

Name: Calvin Lennard
Alias: G-Man
Experience: 50 days
Hometown: Gotham
Age: 18

Powers: Gravity manipulation of self and anything he touches.

Weaknesses: Anything that would hurt a normal person.

Reason for joining Robin: To be part of something bigger and make a difference.

Appearance: Calvin clocks in at 5'9" tall with a build on the lighter side of average. He has medium-length dark brown hair and blue eyes. He is tan enough to have a bit of color to him, but is still pretty light-skinned. Calvin tends to dress plainly in simple jeans and a t-shirt with sneakers.

His 'superhero outfit' is a simple black t-shirt with a white double-sided arrow pointing up and down. This is accompanied by a pair of jeans and sneakers as well as a pair of aviator goggles. Just because aviator goggles are cool. Also identity concealment.

Brief Bio: Calvin was a high school track and field star who performed incredibly well. Perhaps a bit too well in fact. He dominated pole vaulting, shotput, and jumping events with uncanny ease. After winning the regional championship, Matt confronted Calvin and told him that he knew he was using his metahuman abilities to cheat. Calvin fell for the bluff and begged him not to tell. Matt told Calvin that he would keep his secret if he agreed to join him and use his abilities for something a little more worthwhile than simple sporting events. Calvin agreed and joined the Titans.

Name: Jonathan Oliver Queen
Alias: Red Arrow
Experience: 37 days and counting
Hometown: Blüdhaven (formerly Star City)
Age: 16
Powers: Jonathan acquired the meta gene from his father, who received it from Jon’s grandmother, though he did not acquire the famous Canary Cry. Rather, he developed the following powers:

• Enhanced Vision – Jonathan can see with amazing clarity/detail, distance, and color. Up to this point he has displayed instances of telescopic and microscopic vision and almost perfect vision in even the darkest or brightest environments. His eyes seem to adjust as needed, though it is not instantaneous.
• Enhanced Hearing – Jon’s ears are enhanced to hear with amazing clarity, distance, and possibly even on frequencies outside of the normal range. In theory, his ears can pick up every single sound, can decipher layer upon layer of differing sounds/conversations, locate the source of noise or pick up a sound from a mile away in a busy city. Of course, due to his rookie hero status and his lack of control he cannot hope to come close to such amazing feats.
• Enhanced Smell – He can detect specific persons, objects, substances or even places, locate their origin and track targets with nothing but his nose. However, due to his inexperience he cannot hope to do this with complete accuracy. Still, with time and training he may even be able to detect lying, sicknesses, or tumors by which hormones/smells a target excretes.

Weaknesses: Being a human Jonathan is susceptible to just about all the same manners of injury and death as any other ordinary person. However, there are a few special weaknesses that if used against him could prove crippling to him in battle. Such weaknesses include:

• Inexperience – First and foremost, Jonathan is new to the hero game. Through training with his father before his passing, and his private sessions to try and at least keep up with what he had already learned, the young man is proficient with the use of his trusty bow and arrows. He is also skilled in hand-to-hand combat and has some control over his powers, but he stil has quite a ways to go. He is somewhat naïve, runs his mouth and in competition with even normal athletes who have more training than him, let alone villains and the like, he has quite a ways to go.
• Emotional – Playing into his inexperience, Jonathan (though usually trying to keep things light and under some modicum of control) has a tendency to make decisions based on what he feels is right or necessary which doesn’t always turn out for the best.
• Sensory Overload – Because of his heightened senses Jon is constantly at risk of being brought down by any number of factors. Extreme odors, loud noises, sudden bursts of light are all possible in and out of the field. Though he is typically aware and concentrates on keeping his abilities in check he is not without flaw.
• Claustrophobia – Jonathan suffers from a severe case of claustrophobia that in some cases can be crippling cause him to either break or shut down and be essentially useless.

Reason for joining Robin?: Jonathan hadn’t begun his venture into the hero world all that long after Matt McGinnis began his. He wanted to help protect people and carry on the legacy of the Arrow Family in the name of his father and his grandfather before him. He figured if he could do that and make a few friends along the way he was all for it. What did he have to lose?
Appearance: Jonathan stands at about 5’8” tall with a fair skin complexion and is in pretty great shape for a young man his age. Weighing in at about 163lbs, he is fairly muscular, though more lean then bulky. He’s got short blonde hair that is typically left rather unkempt. His eyes, uniquely, are a shade of orange inherited from his mother, though you wouldn’t be able to tell if he were in costume. He designed his suit with help from his guardian, John Diggle Sr., and files that used to belong to his mother and father. It is made to protect him, but also not hinder his movements or abilities.

Personality: Jonathan is extremely intelligent, but you probably wouldn't guess it at a first glance. He has a tendency to act in a more outgoing manner and he's never one to shy away from social interaction without reason. However, all the same he keeps a certain air of mystery about him. He refuses to disclose personal information often giving different answers to the same question or simply avoiding it altogether. He jokes giving the explanation, "It more mysterious that way. And way more fun." Still, the real reason is likely to avoid putting his guardian, and father figure, John Diggle or anybody else close to him in danger. Regardless, despite his sometimes goofy nature, Jonathan can often be seen as curious and inquisitive. He wants to help, to fix things and make them better for himself and those around him. He can sometimes get caught up in tinkering, inventing or other aspects of the scientific and interesting and no matter how he acts or what you think of him he always gets serious about his training and his goals.
BRIEF Bio: Jonathan is the son of Robert Queen and Nyssa Sahmin (no relation to Nyssa Raatko) as well as the grandson of Oliver Queen and Dinah Lance-Queen. He did not inherit the meta-human canary cry, but he did develop a small series of enhanced senses. He got a little bit of training from his mother and father to help him protect himself and keep those senses under wraps when they began to awaken. He was kidnapped around the age of seven and locked in a trunk. He was scared and powerless as his parents fought to free him. They won, but were fatally wounded. He was left in the care of long time family friend John Diggle and wouldn’t continue the life he’d began for many years later. He got some stuff, John helped and even tapped into the inheritance, he met Matt. And here we are.


Notes:

• Jonathan has a habit of taunting and joking around while in the field. Not really smart when you're as inexperienced as he is.
• He could be described as a class clown, although some wonder if this is his an act because of how smart he can be when he gets down to business.
• Jonathan has a computer AI. Computerized Onboard Regulatory Assistant, or C.O.R.A. for short.
• Jon doesn't flirt, but sometimes the way he talks or acts can be misconstrued as such because he does compliment and speak casually around women. However, under any semblance of actual romance he is about as awkward as could be. He could get girls. Doesn't mean he does. A ladies man he is not.
• He actually really likes science and engineering, often tinkering with new possible arrow heads to add to his trick arrow arsenal.
• Jonathan, with help from his guardian John Diggle, designed and customized a hover motocycle he calls the Bolt Cycle, named after the ammunition of crossbows.
• He calls John Diggle "Pops."
• He will give all genres of music a try, even country, but his favorite songs typically range along the lines of rock or hiphop. most of all though you are likely to find him listening to dubstep remixes of popular songs. Any remixes really.
• He has a dog named Sparkplug.
• His favorite food is fried chicken.
• His Red Arrow alter ego has a social media page that he typically posts random or stupid thoughts from. Currently at about half a million subscribers.
