The Justice League was dealing with an international incident and in talks with the UN about the formation of a Justice League Europe. The Teen Titans had just fallen apart and there were several heroes who’d fell in between the cracks of the last big crisis. Two long-time friends who’d seen time with both the Teen Titans and the League decided to get together and do something about the superhero shortage. Maybe the younger heroes had given up. Perhaps the slightly older heroes had fallen on hard times. Wally West (aka the Flash) and Vic Stone (Cyborg) pitched the idea of an academy for younger heroes in need of training to a few billionaire friends. After deciding against the name ‘Justice University’ the pair of heroes and their backers decided on the obvious name… Titans Academy.

They took in young metahumans between the ages of 16-25, and there were part time and full time members each with a different mentor. The Flash already protected Central and Keystone City, so he’s part time. Cyborg tackled the full timers and relocated to the Midway branch of STAR Labs while his team lived at the academy. It was pitched to the mayor of Midway City as a police academy of sorts for the next generation of superheroes. Midway City was once the stomping grounds of Hawkman as well as the Doom Patrol. Regular metahuman threats included more savage individuals like Lion-Mane, and there’s talk of Robotman losing his mind and wrecking a local bar. However the boys may get some help in the form of another old friend…[/b] [center]_____________________________________[/center] Here’s a list of the accepted heroes divided between the Full-Time and Part-Timers: [u][b]Cyborg’s Full-Time Titans[/b][/u] GM [@Omega Man] – the Shield (M) force field projection - APPROVED [@Lord Wraith] – Blitzkrieg (M) werewolf powers - APPROVED [@Mistress Dizzy] – Origami (F) paperkinesis; enhanced speed - APPROVED [@PatientBean] – Oracle (F) precog; invisibility - APPROVED [@Blizz] – Shattercrash (F) kinetic energy manipulation – APPROVED [@Damo021] – Flamebird (F) fire powers; flight – APPROVED [@WXer] – Dragonson (M) hydrokinesis, marine telepathy - APPROVED [@YourNameHere] - Apparition (F) smoke transformation and manipulation - APPROVED [@PapaOso]- Sacrifice (M) ability enhancement;healing factor - APPROVED [@Zaibatsu] - Gravitas (F) gravity manipulation - APPROVED [u][b]Flash’s Part-Time Titans[/b][/u] [@Birdboy] – Shuriken (F) enhanced attributes and vision - APPROVED [@Hillan] – Accelerate (M) super speed – APPROVED [@rocketrobie2] - Chemaxzord (?) slime powers - APPROVED For this RP I’m going to go back to an episodic type of format that worked pretty well with a larger cast in an old Justice League Unlimited RP. Essentially I’m gonna post a few episode summaries to give everyone an idea of what’s going on, split into two teams, and work two ‘missions’ or ‘lessons’ at a time building towards certain plot points. We’ll say every third episode the whole team will come together to face a mutual enemy or have the same lesson assignment (since this IS supposed to be an academy). Everyone will eventually get their time to shine, and there WILL be character centric episodes to further specific plots. So don't worry if you don't get much action every now and again. I’ll post who’s in which episodes as well as other details when the IC goes up. Usually with these kinds of formats I suggest post caps (usually 3 or 4 posts per player per episode) so that trivial interactions don’t become too long winded. I just don’t want a five minute ride on a sky cruiser to turn into a fifteen post conversation about something. Every post should matter. For better interactions between players I’d suggest working on collaborative posts with PM's or in the Discord since it’s generally not cool to use somebody else’s character. You could also leave posts open ended to leave openings for others to come in and pick up where you may have left off. Right now we have nine players, and I’m going to put a cap on recruitment at ten. With a couple players already in contact to fill some spots we’ve really only got room for one additional player. Just depends on the quality of the sheet and if it was made for this RP or just recycled from another game. I’ll post the first few episode summaries below as well as links to our Discord and the Interest Check if any interested parties need additional information.
