The Justice League had been active for several years. Their membership included Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, 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. 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 by the devious Lex Luthor Jr.




Present day the world is full of heroes. After the death of Superman seven months ago at the hands of the monstrous creature called Doomsday criminal activity has gone up in several countries around the world. After completing an exo-suit to compensate for the beatings his body had taken the last twenty years, Batman worked with the League in training younger metahumans and such. While the League is operated in Metropolis by Wonder Woman and Robotman, Batman trains the group he’s come to call Titans in Gotham. Green Lantern is on reserve status with a wife pregnant with twins on the way in the next two to three months, living upstate now about an hour away from Gotham in Jump City. There are several active members of the JLU as well as reserve members on call. Dozens of other costumed individuals have made themselves known over the course of the last year outside of the JLU. Central City, Coast City, Jump City, Star City, Hub City, Bludhaven, New York, San Francisco, and Midway City in America as well as Tokyo, Hong Kong, London, and the small country of Khandaq all have had dozens of reports of superhuman criminal activity with few people standing up to fight.



If it isn’t obvious yet this is meant to be more of a sandbox style role-play with smaller groups already somewhat pre-established as well as a little continuity so we have something to go on. The Justice League Unlimited from games past is still somewhat cannon to a degree with Superman still being dead and the JLU only being active for roughly a year. Batman hasn’t been replaced by a shapeshifting alien though, and instead has an exo-suit similar to the Batman Beyond/Batwing suits. He’s also training a team of 16-24 year olds he dubbed the ‘Titans’ in Gotham. So similar to a MMORPG we have the more ‘social’ cities with more players in Metropolis and Gotham because of the teams, as well as people doing their own thing elsewhere. You can build heroes up before they join the JLU or Titans, or only work with others when you feel like it and do your own solo thing more often. The best part? After 5 posts in-game you have the option of a secondary character! You can have one hero in a team and run solo with the other, make yourself a buddy cop style partner in heroics ala Blue Beetle and Booster Gold, or even have a character on BOTH the JLU and Titans rosters! I just ask that at least one of them be based on a cannon or be your own reimagined cannon.

The CS requirements for this will need a bit more detail. With individual character arcs and potential team-ups comes supporting characters, enemies, settings, etc. that require at least a little more info. Here’s what I’ve got so far. Anything I add later will be noted when we move closer to an OOC and IC thread.





You can!




This RP is something of an experiment because of the large cast, episodic team missions, and out-of-this-world scenarios. You can play as a cannon character, be based on cannons, or make a complete original within the DC universe. I'm not basing this thing on any single continuity, and much like my other games I'll just take bits from here and there to make the most entertaining RP possible. The only cannons off limits are the Justice League founders listed up top. If you wanna make your own Red Tornado or a new Vixen have at it. A new Flash? That could be cool too. Use whatever cannon you'd like, it's only unacceptable if I say it's unacceptable. Just don't make any characters tied to huge events in the comics like Blackest Night or Zero Hour and we should be okay.



I feel like I should elaborate on the format a bit before getting lost in a universe of characters. As a solo hero or reservist you have much more freedom to do whatever providing it fits with the setting of the RP and mentioned in your Story Arcs section of your Character Sheets. For reservists and active JLU/Titans players there will be 'mission logs' in the opening post of the IC [providing we get there] with three different missions to play through for each team. When one mission is chosen by a group it will be removed and replaced with another mission. Missions for the teams will be created by BOTH the GM's as well as the players. In-game the JLU has been active for a year with it's extended roster. Batman's Titans of Gotham though have only been at it for a few weeks tops. So there's potential for up to a year's worth of history between JLU members.

I'm gonna be an active member on one of the teams, right now though IDK which I'll go with LOL

Generally I try and keep contact and collaborate on posts with other players and the Co-GM’s on piratepads as well as Discord more recently so I'll likely throw up links for those once this gets to the starting line. If you don't like collaborating with others, have diva like tendencies, or generally are disrespectful on the regular... this isn't the game for you. If you're known for writing up killer character sheets then never doing anything in-game... this isn't the game for you. Serious commitment is what I'm looking for, since currently this is the only RP I'm focusing my time on. I'm not saying nobody else can have a life or be in other RP's, just 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.

Man, seeing Robotman up there reminds me of how much I love Doom Patrol and makes me want to consider trying to do something for this. I mean knowing me I'll screw up at the starting line but we'll see how things turn out. XD

There are a lot of returning players from the last RP [just based on the JLU and not the broader universe] who used characters like Blue Beetle, Supergirl, and Negative Man... so there miiiight be some people going for the same characters. In all fairness though right now every character is up in the air until accepted into the RP. In a JLU series we've had a lot of fun in using the same characters even after rebooting a couple times, despite me changing characters each time LOL.

So yeah. Characters who might have more than one person applying for them include Supergirl, Blue Beetle, the Question, and Animal Man. As far as I know that's all the interest that I know of so far.

However I challenge everyone to think outside the box and really dig deep. Some of my FAVORITE characters are 3rd and 4th stringers that 90% of people have never heard of. Do a search and see what you can find!

@Omega Man

Time to gear up Lizard again. Although a bit more solo-focused, or maybe not. Depends on what kind of people we will get.

Here's what I've got. I tried to keep it really compact. If it needs more detail or flair lemme know. I tried to capture the whole thing in short basics and the general feel I'm going with for Ted is in the additional notes.

Player Name: The Angry Goat

Primary Character: Ghost

Secret Identity: Saalima Hassan

Status: Solo (potential future in Reserves for one of the groups. we'll see where it goes).

Age: 22

City: Bludhaven

Day Job: Independent Graphic design, Programming and Coding work, also streams via twitch (mostly Age of Empires II and Civilization) for an average of 40 viewers.

Powers: Focused telekinesis - maximum lift weight of 200 lbs, but capable of some impressive finesse with her abilities. She has relatively impressive fine motor control (able to do things like twist doorknobs at a fair distance, break people's fingers, turning the safety on on guns, etc.). Her ability to do these fine things is dependent on her ability to focus.

Weaknesses:
>Saalima is (meta)human. A single bullet can kill her, among any number of other things.
>Saalima is parapalegic, and her left leg is missing above the knee. She is wheelchair bound, and will float herself around when in costume - taking up about half the weight she can lift.
>Saalima is brusque and not particularly sociable, and is somewhat emotionally unstable (probably because she has some suppressed PTSD) - loss of contact with her parents heightens her stress.

Skills:
>tech native: Saalima grew up hacking things for fun, and understands computers, electric circuitry, and the like. If you're trapped in a locked room with a ticking bomb in the corner, she's the woman you want tied up in there with you.
>perceptive: highly intelligent, Saalima sees connections where others dont, and is generally going to be the brains of an operation.
>Stealth: she's small, she's smart, and she's floating. People usually don't see her unless she wants them to.
>Basic adulting: she takes care of herself
>Multi-Lingual: fluent in Arabic and English, can get by in French and Greek.
>Basic fighting ability: Untrained, Saalima's boxing is ad-hoc and not her strong suit, but she can fall back to it when her powers aren't enough to protect her

Appearance: 5’2, thin, somewhat unassuming, 90 lbs (legs weigh about 17% of body mass, she'd be 108 with it). Black hair of moderate length, brown eyes, brown skin. Usually wears a baggy sweatshirt and jeans. Has a cheap wheelchair, the manual kind. Doesn’t bother with shoes, though her right foot usually has at least two socks layered on it. Doesn’t take care of herself all that well. Seems to stare straight through you – it’s quite unnerving.

In costume, she wears a full-body length dress she found dumpster diving behind a thrift store one night, and her old half niqab to cover her face.

BRIEF Bio: Saalima is Syrian, and has the storyline one might expect from a Syrian no longer in Syria. She came from a rather rich family (her father ran a lot of mines for the government), hence her ability to learn a lot of strong technical skills despite being a woman in a relatively oppressive society. Things started going real south in Damascus eventually, however, and she ended up caught in an explosion that blew off her leg and left her paralyzed below the waist. Better off than her brother, since he's pretty damned dead. Her father was eventually able to get her to the states thanks to his government connections and an aunt who lived in Metropolis (and Saalima's disability), but he wasn't able to get himself and his wife visas.

Unfortunately for her, things weren't easy going to her freedom, as she still had to be driven out of the country to get to a safe airfield, and the bus she and other refugees were on was stopped by rebel forces on the way there. She wasn't exactly sure what happened - she thinks they were searching for a specific person on the bus who was closely related to a powerful member of the government, but somehow the driver ended up with a bullet in his head, and they dragged a man off the bus screaming - the stress - the worry - it was all too much, and it triggered whatever had been hiding her latent abilities from her. She moved quickly, subconsciously, mentally throwing the 4 men's guns from their hands, turning them around, and pulling their triggers. the 4 men lay dead, their prisoner free, and Saalima as confused as the rest of the bus passengers. She knew she had done it, but she didnt know how... or why.

Someone else was confident enough to drive the bus, and life went on - they made it to the border safely, and to their destinations... but to Saalima, the question persisted. As her aunt set her up with basic amenities in a cheap Bludhaven apartment. as she found a few people who sometimes needed her skills. As she found an audience for her competitive video gaming... What had she done...could she do it again... could she protect people with it? She started training herself, and eventually felt confident enough to actually start trying to solve the rampant crime problems Bludhaven had.

like seriously, why had no one delt with that fucking clown permanently yet? Or any of the others, for that matter? There was so much clandestine activity going on, and she loved a challenge. so she got together something to hide her identity, and made her third job hunting down and stopping planned crime. She's become a known presence on the Bludhaven scene in the past three years, especially in the mealtide park area (though her ghostly presence is felt across the city, and the greater Gotham metro area).

Story Arcs: Strangely specific robberies in art galleries around the greater Metro area take individual paintings - and Ghost catches on relatively quickly that the 3rd letter of the second word of the title of the paintings progressively spell out R-I-D-D - but can she figure out when and where The Riddler will strike next: and why?

Strangely specifically themed villains begin to pop up around Bludhaven, and after Ghost captures The Mime after he kills a fellow actor who usurped his role, she learns that they are gaining their powers from a powerful magician. Who is he, what's his pattern, and how can Ghost stop him. [opportunities for collabs with other regional heroes, also the big villain is loosly based on the evil akuma dude from Miraculous ladybug (about whom I know very little so it's mostly oc lol)]

Assaults are on the rise after a prison break freed a few street gangs. Ghost and [character placeholder] team up to take down the gangs and hunt down their ringleaders.

Supporting Characters: IIRC Unicycle said he'd be willing to collab. IDK there's probably some other gotham/bludhaven villains and heroes I can write myself with, but I'll come up with that as I go.

Secondary Character:
The Warden - a good guy amnesiac swamp thing-ish character who may or may not end up going all chaotic neutral via the Green eventually (I can lift his info page from the previous RP whenever, I don't think I'm gonna modify much of anything about him): Active JLU.

Here's my Cyborg app! He's quite different from the canon Vic Stone I hope that's ok! I've sort of made him a mix between Cyborg, Lando Calrissian and Starlord. Hopefully I've made it something of my own.

@Omega Man What's the rule on creating/using villains as PCs or NPCs?

Will we be able to play villains as a secondary character?

What if Player A and Player B both want to claim the same villain as an NPC/Supporting Character? (For example: both Nightwing's player and Red Hood's player want to claim the Joker.)

EDIT - Changed the questions after reading things more carefully!
