The Justice League had been active for several years. Their membership included Superman, Batman, Vixen, Green Lantern (Alan Scott), and Robot Man. Most of them were already in their 40's, Batman was rumored to be in his 50's. The team took down threats such as Brainiac, the rogue General Eiling, Solomon Grundy and an army of the undead, a Thanagarian Cult, and dozens of others. Later in the team’s career, in a battle with the alien tyrant Despero, both Vixen and Robotman were killed in action. Robotman COULD have survived, but the three eyed behemoth crushed his head and destroyed the original brain of Cliff Steele.

One year ago...


The Justice League extended its reach and took in several new heroes to form the Justice League Unlimited. Over the course of the first several weeks the League learned about the existence of a similar group, composed of super criminals, calling themselves the Society and brought together in secret by the devious Lex Luthor Jr. Shortly after the Society made itself known, the Question deduced that the super criminals were after artifacts composed of a mysterious Nth metal. During a mission that saw a group going to the destroyed remains of Atlantis, Ravager was seemingly killed by an unseen attacker and left for dead. Her father, Deathstroke, would later abduct her from JLU headquarters to help her recover on his own terms. Bulleteer would also be attacked in Metropolis and taken out of action after taking trauma to his head after the enemies of the League were informed by Lobo that his helmet was composed of Nth metal. Ambush Bug was killed during an attack on the League's HQ, and the heroic Clayface was torn apart as well.

Over the course of the last year the League would continue to evolve. Superman would be defeated and killed by the monster called Doomsday. Green Lantern retired after finding out his reformed enemy turned fiancée Thorn was pregnant with twins. And Batman has seemingly been replaced by a white Martian with his actual whereabouts unknown.

Present day...


The League still moves forward, even after everything the members have been through, protecting the world from dangers. Team members continue to come and go as they have always done. However, some unknown entity or force has taken it upon themselves to tamper with the very fabric of reality altering the universe itself.




________________________________


This RP is something of an experiment because of the large cast, episodic adventures, and out-of-this-world scenarios. It is EXACTLY what it sounds like. The JLU from the cartoons of days gone by fully realized in role player fashion in a new universe, and I do mean "new" because the universe from the last RP has been altered by an outside force conspiring with other individuals similar to the current DC Rebirth era.

I’ve kept some of the continuity from Season One but I’m leaving everything else vague from here on to free up any characters or concepts that may not return. This will still be in-continuity with the last RP, but going into Season Two this time I’m gonna trim the cast down and only have two episodes going at a time after the opening episode. For those of you unfamiliar with the episodic format, the cast will be divided regularly so that the missions aren’t as convoluted as they can sometimes get with a large cast. The opening episode will now feature all ten players. Episodes Two and Three will each feature five players. Episode Four will have all ten players, and then the next two episodes will have new teams of five players… etc. This is meant to make it easier to build relationships with the other players during the smaller team episodes.

As far as GM'ing goes I feel like I should mention I'm the type to give players a bit of freedom. Players can control the enemies to a small degree and if there's any problems they can be addressed. A line or two of dialogue from an enemy and letting them take a few hits is perfectly fine in a post. Just make it interesting and in line with what's been established as the setting. If there's any questions about the enemies we're facing you can always ask about power levels, attacks, weaknesses, etc. This RP is one big collaboration after all. The same basic rules from the last game will still be in effect, just with the altered episode format.

Since this will be an altered universe I'm going to post a timeline with everything being kept from Season 1 & 2 as well as other details that didn't have dates up to this point like the Death of Superman and when my new hero started his heroic journey. I can add specific dates in there for your heroes as well, just be mindful that some heroes have already been active since before the last RP started, and others have risen in the last year.

Generally I try and keep contact and collaborate on posts with other players on piratepads as well as Discord more recently. If you haven't got the Discord link give @WXer a shout for the link since he's seeing over that for us this time around. I'll post a link to a new piratepad once this gets to the starting line with the IC.

Accepted players/heroes can go ahead and repost your CS's in the Character Tab and let me know where you want anything on the timeline! Please don't forget about this RP. Respect other players and respect the game and everything will be peachy. Or some other type of fruity awesomeness.

I'm gonna go ahead and make micros for the background Leaguers before I post the group shot. I've got Manhunter done, Booster and Atom started... I'll probably just find a couple Huntress and Zatanna micros somewhere since they're pretty common...
