An alien menace news media outlets are calling the Black Circle has began raiding several warehouses in Central City [Kansas] and it's sister city across the bridge Keystone City. The Superman hasn't been seen in weeks and is thought to be off world. Batman stays in Gotham and is only ever seen at night. Meanwhile, Wonder Woman was last seen in Europe after the new King and Queen were crowned. Central City and Keystone City aren't the only towns being invaded either. In a matter of weeks, other large cities in America began seeing humanoid alien goons in several dozen locations. Midway City [Michigan], Coast City [California], Star City [Washington], and St. Roch [Louisiana] have all been invaded with what appears to be an 'alien criminal organization.'
Batman has already come into contact with the aliens with the strange black circle brand or mark. He's tracked most of them to a chemical warehouse down near the Gotham Harbor. However, until recently he had the disadvantage of being outnumbered. While other heroes had began showing up in and around the Gotham area, Thomas Wayne's old friend Stephen Oliver was in town. Using a power suit more durable than a tank, faster than any fighter jet, and able to fly great distances on a single power cell... Oliver is secretly a one man army corps codenamed: Green Arrow.
What heroes will rise to stop this alien threat? Which villains will reemerge once the aliens have left cities vulnerable? Welcome... to DC Reborn.

In this RP, players will get the chance to recreate some of the bigger DC properties in a similar fashion to what happened when the Golden Age was replaced by the Silver Age. The Atom went from being a little person with an atomic punch to what we have today in Ray Palmer using tech to shrink to atomic size. Green Lantern changed from a man in a cape with a supernatural ring of power into a space cop armed with the same type of ring only as part of a larger Corps. I know what you guys are thinking. "How is this unlike any game that came before?" And the answer is simple. Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman will remain mostly unchanged though I may make some tweaks to their histories [they're Gods and Monsters inspired]. EVERYTHING ELSE IS DETERMINED BY YOU. You can take ANY DC Comics character or concept and completely change it up to suit your tastes. Any enemies I introduce in this after the Black Circle will be tied to Justice League-centric baddies as well as several of Superman's enemies and factions within the DCU. ARGUS is still our answer to SHIELD, STAR Labs is still a thing, and Lex Luthor is president in Trump like fashion. He demands to see 'Superman's legal papers' for instance because the world doesn't know Superman was actually the first alien to call Earth home.
Here's what I've got for the Big Three...

So that's everything up to now. Accepted players I've already talked with in the Interest Check can go ahead and repost your sheets in the Character Tab. For anyone else looking into this, check out the Interest Check for other details and some random concepts I threw out to the group for ideas. If you've already been accepted and want to change up characters before we get the IC going just DM me the new Character Sheet. I'll shoot for the IC sometime this week, just depends how quick everyone in the house gets over this allergy problem. I usually do most of my RP'ing on the weekends between Friday evening and Monday. If I don't touch base during the work week that's why, I just work long hours four days a week.
