The Concept:
The Concept/Requirements:
So, speaking as a fan of the animated series since I was a teenager back when it first came out in 2010, and given the current state of Warner Bros ATM, I think it's entirely safe to say that there won't be a new series of Young Justice again for the foreseeable future. All the same, that doesn't mean that we can't imagine and play with the concept a little, does it? ;) In my case, I've come up with something a little bit different for anyone out there who happens to be a fan of all 4 seasons of the show, is a Literate to Semi-Literate roleplayer and likes the idea of continuing the story of Earth-16, with both a time skip and a season skip into the bargain. In this case, I'd like to try something new by skipping an imaginary Season 5 and moving straight on to a possible Season 6 setting, which may have occurred, had the show been allowed to go on. I call it "Young Justice: Elite." (I'm open to inviting an extra third player if possible. It depends on who responds to this check.) To help put things into perspective, here are a few things I think would happen In the made-Up season 5 that I like to call "Young Justice: Sanctuary", taking place in 2021.
Connor and M'Gann move out of Snapper Carr's house and set themselves up in an Apartment in Metropolis with Clark and Lois' help.
M'Gann becomes pregnant with Connor's Kid who's born in early 2022 in the last episode.
The New Hall of Justice is finally built on Justice Island near the UN Building and the Justice League relocates there to use it, this time for real, as a base of operations in order to get closer to the people and planet they protect, leaving the Watchtower to The Team as a permanent base.
The League also sets up "Sanctuary" in rural Nebraska. A place where young metahumans, mostly heroes, can recover from the negative effects of their chosen life and duty. Protected by Kryptonian tech, staffed by Fortress of Solitude robots and run by Black Canary.
Dinah and Oliver (Green Arrow) finally tie the knot.
Tye Longshadow and Sam Koizumi finally join The Outsiders as full time heroes, under the names Apache Chief and Samurai and the Team, League and Outsiders get a few additional members overall.
Beast Boy returns to work on Space Trek 3016 and to hero work.
Darkseid and his Furies begin to ramp up attacks against the Earth and the heroes of Earth, leading to Superman discovering the existence of his cousin for the first time. Kara, in turn, becomes a double agent later in the series while Billy discovers what happened to Mary.
G. Gordon Godfrey and Gretchen Goode are publically exposed as associates of Darkseid by Garfield, with Gordon revealing himself as Glorious Godfrey and Gretchen merging back with Granny Goodness.
Darkseid's forces attack Sanctuary to try and wipe out Earth's next generation of defenders. The combined forces of The League, The Outsiders and The Team defeat them with help from Supergirl and Mary Marvel who's finally brought to her senses by Billy...Along with a mysterious streak of yellow and Red energy, in the shape of a young man.
Martian Manhunter dies in the battle.
Miss Martian, Nightwing, Superboy, Tigress and Arrowette are all inducted into the Justice League
Klarion the Witch Boy is banished from the Lords of Chaos for his repeated failures and is sent to live on Earth without his powers or memories, being adopted by a couple in the UK.
The Red Hood debuts in Gotham as an agent of the League of Shadows.

This RP takes place after all of this and, as you may have guessed by the name, a teen version of Manchester Black, and possibly his Elite Teammates, Coldcast, The Hat, Menagerie, are involved as central characters. The setting is actually last year, 2022, Starting in June. It involves Chester, my main character in this case, being recruited into the Team, during a time when Anti-Heroism appears to be on the rise, thanks to The Red Hood’s emergence in Gotham. To counteract this, The Team begins scouting for new, fresh talent worldwide in the hopes of maintaining the ideals of The Life. All the while, The Light, having seemingly exhausted all interstellar options to conquer the world, turn their sights towards the realms of the Supernatural, joining forces with The Lords of Chaos and The enigmatic Brother Blood, leader of the Church of Blood cult. Worshippers of a demonic entity known as “Trigon.”
Meanwhile, the Justice League, relocated back to Earth in a now truly operational Hall of Justice, Is still recovering from the loss of J'onn J'onzz in the fight against Darkseid’s forces at Sanctuary. Connor Kent and J'onn’s still mourning niece, M'gann M'orzz have been declared the new Den Parents of The Team, now based out of the old Watchtower Satellite above the Moon. Caught in the middle, the Outsiders continue to operate out of Hollywood, all the while growing older and coming into their own as a team independent from The League.
But time stops for no one and the older former members of The Team now live darker and more complicated adult lives. Many of the older members have joined the League, the Outsiders or have simply gone their own way. As is all too common with people their age, they find themselves longing for the brighter, simpler days of their own teenhoods in the early 2010s, To offer a new ‘’Age of Innocence’’ with a new generation of young, promising heroes.
With a new team consisting of Field Leader Mist, Danny Chase, Pantha. Russian Ex-Patriot Red Star, Bunker, Teen Green Lantern Kyle Rayner and Exxorian “Wonder Twins” Zan and Jayna, The old guard of the convert gang seem to have just that and more. But, just when everything seems to be settling into a nice Status Quo, from the North of England, a young, aimless, powerful Teen Telepath comes onto The Team and the League’s Radar who may change the course of Earth-16′s history for better, or worse. His Name: Manchester Black!
