[OOC] Adolescent Heroes (Teen Titans Inspired)

[Leaves]

Tranquil City is unlike any other city. Based on the name, one would expect peacefulness and cordial attitudes. An individual couldn't find a kinder city. Tranquil offered harmony and trust. It was a frequent tourist destination for those wishing to witness the beauty and friendship of passerby.

Possibly the only complaint was the amount of dullness. Citizens would argue that the city lacked excitement. There was hardly any disasters occurring. Weather and food reviews mostly aired on the news. Though people believed this was for the best.

It's insane that people used to leave their doors unlocked. Open windows are as surreal as melting clocks. Neighbors could trust each other and live in tranquillity. All of this was soon to disappear.

Smiles were a disease in the past. If one citizen has a smile, so will the world. They were simpler times when whole neighborhoods would try to better everyone. Teamwork without suspicion sounds surreal. Did those times really exist?

It's unbelievable how much change the world can go through within a few decades. Tranquil City has shifted into many changes. The peaceful city has now become nothing more than a fragment of a person's dream. Citizens could not believe the state Tranquil was back then.

The streets aren’t safe to roam at night- not that it’s safer in daylight, either. Thugs, gangs, and criminals run the city districts. The public doesn't trust the police due to numerous reasons. Rumors have floated about crooked cops. Other police officers are slumped and have difficulty closing cases. Who can blame them?


Crime rates have risen exponentially! It's present time and shockingly you can't rely on anyone. You'll discover, sooner or later, that your next-door neighbor is harboring drugs meanwhile the other one is a wanted pedophile. Several people have cried over the situation, their cars have been stolen,

Nobody knows why the police aren’t doing anything. It’s like they aren’t doing anything to solve the crimes. Some paint them as cowards, but to be fair some cases are just unsolvable. Banks get robbed with no traces, and dozens of people get turned to ash without a cause.

We need a better option to protect this city. The city just won’t survive if crime keeps skyrocketing like this. If nobody does anything about it.

We need saviors.

We need heroes.

Disclaimer: This roleplay will be accepting 7 characters in total. Don't fret though. There are still other positions available.

About

For this roleplay, I will be only accepting 7 applications, but not entirely. I would describe this role play different from other roleplays. (This might not be an original idea; I wouldn't know. I don't get out enough.) I believe the role plays suffer from one problem: inactivity. Also, role plays have one huge goal which does take a fairly amount of time to solve.

Adolescent Heroes takes a different approach. I have formed this roleplay to be episodic. There will be shorter plots with an overlying arc. I recognized the introduction does seem vague, but the premise is the main characters will be teen heroes. These teen heroes will have problems of their own and may even get an episode revolving around their problems, fears, and even back story. For further reference, I would recommend viewing Teen Titans or Young Justice.

This roleplay will have many outcomes. Kill a thug; civilians and the police won't respect you. However, capture a criminal and they’ll start to see an idealistic spark about the world. Not a particularly bright one at first, but those things can add up.

Guest Character Skeleton

It appears you have missed your chance to become part of the main roster. Have no fear because you can become a guest character. Throughout episodes, it is only natural for there to be reoccurring guest stars. This is an opportunity for role players who still want to be involved in the roleplay or they cannot fully be active. Guest characters have the chance of becoming support characters, other heroes, or even villains. It also gives them an opportunity to replace one of the main cast members if they disappear from inactivity. I mean, Batman fights the Joker multiple times and has teamed up with Catwoman on more than one occasion.

Episode Log

Hider

Episode One

Summary

Marcus and Curt have found themselves captive in a strange room. No windows, no doors, and no answers. The two adolescents argued amongst themselves until their captor appears. The person responsible turned out to be a physically impressed man in army attire named Mr. Russo.

The military soldier informed the boys they would be handling a mission to test their powers. More explanation led Marcus and Kurt to realize bigger things were planned for the both of them. For their test, the two were assigned with taking down a few convicts. Unknowing to them, another individual gifted with powers—a woman with titanium skin came to their aid. Together, the three of them defeated some powerful criminals.

After completing the test, the three of them were confronted by Mr. Russo and led to the upper floors in an elevator. They discovered their location to be inside a mansion filled with many luxuries. Mr. Russo told them they would be defending the city from now on as part of a special project.

"Predator" Percy

Predator Percy attacked the super powered teens in hopes of killing them. In return, he wanted a reduced life sentence or to fully get out of prison. Percy lacked hair and showed off a completely bald head. The man came with a strange ability. Percy's scalp could twist off and unleash a monster of demonic presence. The predator that spawned from his head could only be described as ruthless and aggressive. The man was defeated once he became an elderly man due to strange magic.
First Appeared in Episode One.

Slave

A corpulent criminal who needed to take down three teens in order to receive a reduction in his prison sentence. His admirable strength offered only trouble for the kids. Even his appearance seemed nightmarish. The man's lips remained sewn shut; bruises and scars covered his face. Slave did seem incompetent but a little charm seemed to be doing most of the work for him. A shrunken head commanded him to do most of the work. Slave appeared to have died with Marcus burned the charm.
First Appeared in Episode One.

The shrunken head

A strange charm held in Slave's hands. The teens found its voice entirely creepy as it also breathed and whispered on their ears. Speaking normally did freak them out, but the shrunken head showed it knew magic. The various spells and incantations proved very difficult for the group. With much strength and skill, the team managed to destroy the charm and ended Slave in the process.
First Appeared in Episode One.

@Leaves Awesome! Thank you for making the thread. I'll have my character up in about ten minutes.

Agent

Name: Ally Estrada "Agent"

Gender: Female

Age: 17, will be 18 soon

Appearance: Ally is well-built, standing at 5'4" weighing about 135 pounds. She's one of those people who don't look too strong until they flex or exercise. Her skin is slightly gold and easily tans during the summer when she's out and about. The only piercings she has are earrings. She has deep brown eyes that go dark in the center and lighter around the edges. She has dark brown, wavy hair and if she doesn't want to do anything with it she'll put it in a ponytail. Most of her clothes are functional. It's easy to find her wearing a figure-fitted T-shirt and jeans with some tennis shoes. If the heat is above 75 degrees F, she'll definitely exchange the T-shirt for a tank-top.

Personality: Ally is a pretty friendly person. She's not afraid to start a conversation with a stranger. She really enjoys talking to people and making new friends. Overall, she's the kind of person who would give you the last of her money if you're hungry, even if she's hungry too. She likes being active and doing physical activities, but she also loves to wind down with a good book and relax by herself. She has a lot of confidence in herself, but doesn't like to show off, unless being silly.
As for her more negative traits, she's very stubborn and doesn't usually compromise easily. If you know which buttons to push she can get angry very easily. Once you do push those buttons, she's pretty good at holding a grudge and most likely won't talk to you.

Uniform: She wears a black leather jacket modified with a stretchy-spandex material at the joints for more flexibility with a simple black utility belt you can get on eBay and black cargo pants.

Powers/ Abilities: Ally has the power to turn her whole body into titanium. Because titanium is a low density metal, it doesn't slow her down too much. While in this form, she doesn't have much feeling and must be careful. If this form takes too much damage, her normal form will be seriously injured. A dent in her titanium form could result in a fractured limb, for example. It's also hard to keep this form and it puts a lot of strain on her body.

Because of the limits with her titanium form, Ally also carries around gadgets to help her in combat. Her "gadgets" are items that can be found at a firework stand, such as colored smoke bombs and strobing/flashing candles. Other than this, she relies on her strength and fighting skills to keep her out of danger.

Bio: Ally gained her powers young. On a walk home, she heard someone screaming. Being how she is, the young girl ran to help whoever it was screaming. In the end it turned out to be a set-up. It was a man who had attempted to kidnap her. Luckily this didn't happen. She was able to run and ended up hiding in a bush while the man continued to race passed her. She felt something in prick her hand and found a needle sticking out. She didn't know if it had been used previously, but the needle did push down into her hand, injecting whatever it was into her bloodstream. Being too young and naive to know the dangers of needles and drugs, she took it out and ran home quickly. Soon, she began to feel strange. She went to bed, and woke up with metallic skin, discovering she was made of metal. After hearing about the incident, excluding the needle, her father, who had been long divorced from her mother, put both her and her younger brother into fighting lessons.

Years later, Ally decided it was time to try her powers. Because of the dangerous activities around town, Ally figured the park would be a pretty secure place to practice transforming. She went behind a few trees, covered by the trees themselves and the brick wall perimeter of the park, she figured no one would see her. So, she tried transforming a few times in and out of the form before feeling paranoid and returning home.

@Leaves Alright, here she is. Sorry, took a bit longer than I anticipated. XD

[Leaves]

@1Hawkeyes

I like it, but I do want to inform you that my character does have similar abilities. He can morph his skin into the material he eats. If he eats metal or even titanium, his skin will have those properties. Are you fine with this?

[1Hawkeyes]

@Leaves Yeah, that's totally fine! :3 They could probably use that to their advantage somehow. Do I just jump into the story?

[Leaves]

@1Hawkeyes

I'm about to write another post along with a narrative and I'll give you an entrance into the roleplay.

[1Hawkeyes]

@Leaves Alright, thank you very much.

[Leaves]

@1Hawkeyes

If you have any questions feel free to ask, I feel I might have rushed the quality of the post.

[1Hawkeyes]

@Leaves Looks pretty good to me. :3 I'll get something posted and then it's off to bed for tonight. Let me know if anything is wrong when I post it and I'll be happy to fix it.
