U N L I M I T E D


Over a year ago the Justice League was forced to disband after false and damning accusations made by the United Nations. The founders went their separate ways; the Green Lanterns went back to space, and Aquaman went back to Atlantis. The world began losing trust in its heroes. After roughly a year and a half the governments discovered an alien sleeper agent in the UN as well as a plot to disrupt the world governments to set the world up for an alien invasion. Now in a time of crisis, the UN has lifted their ban on government sponsored super-teams.

Before they were shut down, the League had split up into several groups: JL Europe (lead by Wonder Woman), JL International (lead by Capt. Atom), JL of America (lead by Superman), as well as the JL Task Force (lead by Martian Manhunter). After a brief meeting with the various League mentors, it was decided rather than splitting into several teams like before it would be one larger group stationed in the Atlantic Ocean with an additional outpost on the moon. The Justice League Unlimited would be the world's first line of defense against any and all alien threats.

And what was the threat? The sleeper agent was a shapeshifting Durlan whose body-altering abilities are on par with that of the Martian Manhunter. There's no telling how many more of them are on Earth, there could even be one among the JLU!


____________________________________________


I've felt inspired ever since seeing the news and the characters they'll be using in the new JLU comic set in what's currently DC's main continuity. So here we are again, another JLU roleplay from this guy. I've incorporated some of my favorite bits like the various teams existing beforehand and writing out big guns like GL and Aquaman. I don't know if I'll do the episodic type of format like in a few of the JL related RPs, but if enough people are game we might do that again. I'm looking for around 7-10 players for this, and I only really strive for a post a week per player. Any more than that and I'd need to find a Co-GM. To make the League seem larger and more *unlimited* I'll likely also have a slot for 'Background Hero' on the CS requirements as well as a 'Former Team Affiliation' space so you can be attached to one of the abroad JL's if you want. The Background Hero isn't exactly a secondary character, just somebody the GM's can use as fodder when shit hits the fan and somebody a player can speak for should they want their primary character to interact with somebody. I'm always available to do a little collabing, especially if we wind up using Superman, Wonder Woman, and Martian Manhunter as NPC's/Mentors.

As far as GM'ing goes I feel like I should mention I work long hours between Tuesday and Friday so most of my RP'ing is done during the weekends and Mondays. I'm also the type of GM to give players a bit of freedom, since this is really just one big collaboration. Players can control the enemies to a small degree and if there's any problems they can be addressed in the OOC or Discord server (assuming this moves forwards and we make one). A line or two of dialogue from an enemy and letting them take a few hits is perfectly fine in a post. Just make it interesting and in line with what's been established as the setting. If there's any questions about the enemies we're facing you can always ask about power levels, attacks, weaknesses, etc.

Reworked canon characters and originals are welcome. Character sheet requirements MUST include...

So that's it. Again, I'm hoping to get around 7-10 players for this. May or may not go with the episodic format where we split up into teams. I'd like to see a good mix of reworked canons and an original or two, maybe a villain trying to redeem themselves like Capt. Cold and Lex tried a few years back. Also! While Superman, Wonder Woman, and Martian Manhunter are listed in the story as mentors that doesn't take them off the table. If you got the chops you can totally take one of them for a spin, but I'm gonna be using Capt. Atom this time around. And if nobody wants the other big guns I can use them as NPC's where needed.

Who wants some justice?!

I normally fight for liberty and managed democracy, but I suppose I could add justice to the list.

Hey, you still doing this? Because it seems interesting. My only question is... why is meant by Background Hero? Is that supposed to be a hero who's influenced the character in the past? A mentor? The person who vouched for you?

Edit: NVM, I'm just an idiot who can't read apparently. Character sheet will be up soon.

I would also be interested if this is still available.

Here's an immediate entry though if she wouldn't work, I could come up with someone else.

Edited: Now has Wonder Women as her connection and joined the JL Europe force.

Here's the CS. Sidenote: I put extra space between the categories for readability.

Yeah I'd still love to get this thing going. The larger cast is kind of a must for this type of RP though, so I'd need 6 or 7 players minimum. I'll start working on my Capt. Atom sheet later today...

I'm interested. Could my background Hero be Wildcat? I know he's retired in most cases, but i feel he'd be able to fill a mentor role fairly well, especially for my character witht the backstory i have planned. The only real problem is that my DC knowledge isn't quite as extensive as I'd like it to be.

I also have a few general questions.

What's the post size you're hoping from us? How often do we post? Is there going to be an order in which we post?

I'm working on a character now, I'll have a post up soon here.

Sorry for the real late reply man, I don't think I can handle another RP right now. I'm barely keeping up with the one I'm in now plus I'm going into my last(ish) year of school. I might be able to once/if I hit my stride with classes but no promises

This is a reworked Ravager, with more of a focus on her Asian heritage. Don't anyone say the words "Diversity hire" around her.

So we now have 3 characters that basically all fill the same role. They're enhanced humans and close combat experts.

Well, now that we have two flying characters that shouldn't be in close combat at all, it's getting to be more balanced.

Not to say that Zen can't fight up close. He's just no Metallo.

If your guys are stealthy and/or combat experts and enhanced humans, you'd likely be in the JL Task Force under the leadership of Martian Manhunter, or you would have been involved with the JL International under the leadership of my Capt. Atom as he worked in affiliation with world governments. The JLA is for the more flashy superpowered folk. CS forthcoming...
