[COLOR=Slategray][INDENT][B][SUP][SUB][H3]B A C K S T O R Y:[/H3][/SUB][/SUP][/B][/INDENT][hr][/COLOR][INDENT][INDENT][I]The death of SUPERMAN was the shot heard around the world. 

For several hours before his death, the Man of Steel had been locked in bloody conflict with a monstrous creature the media had only dubbed one thing;

DOOMSDAY.

No one knew where it had came from. The only indication it had come was a pod crashing into the pacific just off the coast of California. Hauled out of the water, it was carbon dated and determined to be old, very old. But no one anticipated anything was alive inside of it.

When the creature had ripped through Coast City, the League had immediately mobilized to intercept. Unfortunately, they had no idea what they were dealing with and moments after first contact, the world watched its heroes fall. The GREEN LANTERN was the first to go, the monster biting off his hand, swallowing his ring whole before Guy’s still beating heart was ripped from his chest. 

Shayera was next to fall, her wings ripped from her back before HAWKGIRL'S skull was collapsed beneath the heel of the beast. Holding the beast off, WONDER WOMAN managed to slow the creature, delivering a mortal blow. Unfortunately it was too early to celebrate as the creature evolved, reviving and attacking Diana. Unable to ward off the onslaught of the enraged beast, Diana soon fell to its attacks as the FLASH escaped to regroup with the rest of the League.

Leaving a trail of destruction across the country, the creature became more and more unstoppable with every attack made against it. The military, TITANS and even stray vigilantes did their best to slow its progress, but the creature had a clear goal and destination.

Metropolis. 

The call went out from the League for any available heroes to rendezvous with them as they stood to hold the line in Metropolis. Superman rallied the heroes as the remaining League stood by his side. But it wasn’t enough.

With relative ease, the creature took both Flash and MARTIAN MANHUNTER out of the fight. While they were spared due to the efforts of Gotham’s BATMAN, the Dark Knight soon found the limit of his mortality. Outraged at the loss of his friends and allies, Superman called the heroes off and decided to finish the fight alone. Blow after blow was exchanged, Superman’s solar reserves wearing thin as the creature only seemed to grow stronger. Finally in an act of desperation, Superman took a hold of the creature, lifting it into the air as he flew towards the atmosphere. Its spiked body piercing his skin, fatally wounding the Man of Tomorrow as he hurled the beast into the vacuum of space. 

Drained of his solar reserves and unable to recharge, Superman plummeted back towards the Earth, the impact with the ground the final blow to the Kryptonian. It was in that moment a hush seemed to fall over the entire globe at once. In a matter of a few hours, the majority of the Justice League had been decimated, Coast City was nearly a crater and both Gotham and Metropolis were left without their guardians.[/I][/INDENT][/INDENT]

In the aftermath of the Doomsday Event, J’onn and Barry were left to rebuild the League. The first recruit was the Batman’s protégé, Dick Grayson, Blüdhaven’s NIGHTWING. Gotham’s BLACK CANARY and Star City’s GREEN ARROW were also recruited. Surviving Titan, STARFIRE was also promoted to League status while CYBORG opted to stay in San Francisco and lead and train a new generation of Titans. But the League is still drastically under-powered compared to where it had been. As such, recruiting has been left open in hopes they can come to together to protect the world from whatever threats that may still be out there.

As a player, you will be able to take the role of any of the surviving members of the DC UNIVERSE, whether portraying them as close to canon as the RP’s premise will permit or through reinvention. Additionally, if you would prefer, you are free to submit an Original Character so long as they have the feel and tone of the RP and DC Universe. Players will be relegated to ONE HERO[sup]1[/sup] player character to start, but as the IC continues, committed players will be welcomed to create additional characters, even portraying VILLAINS[sup]2[/sup]. 

While the only GM established teams will be the Justice League and the (Teen) Titans at the start of the RP, players are encouraged to create and bring in other DC Comic teams or even create their own. Collaborating on teams is highly encouraged as the lifeblood of role-playing is player collaboration.

[sup][sup]1 - Heroes is an all encompassing term referring to characters whose actions are generally positive. This does include anti-heroes like Jason Todd, it does not include anti-villains like Deathstroke.
2 -  Villains will be allowed after at least the first arc, whether all encompassing or individual player arcs, are completed as per GM discretion. Some villains may be claimed by players of the GM staff for ongoing or upcoming plots and it is requested that applicants be respectful of that but also that players consider others when outlining plots and not lay claim to too many characters at once. A player-driven villain will be given precedence over a supporting cast member but it is asked that the player consider any established history when applying as a villain. For example, a Joker player should not ignore anything outlined by a Barbara Gordon player.[/sup][/sup][/I][/INDENT][/INDENT]
