She is one of the people trapped In Kandor yes. I didn't want her existing yet because I wanted to emphasize the sole survivor aspect of Superman, to mak the revelation about Kandor's existence have more of an impact on him. It' was a good introduction, but I'd appreciate it if you could capitalize the starts of your sentences and use periods. I don't mean to be a dick or a grammar nazi, but that's part of casual roleplay standards. I did approve his bio, and I thought being funded by Lex Luthor was a sufficient connection to the DCU. That's not really that dissimilar to being something like a former sidekick of an established superhero, which is what Shifter is. "Having a connection to the DCU" is an admittedly vague statement, but I do think that Maximums fits the bill.Next time just be sure to send a quick PM first. But I'm sure you guys can work things out. As it stands right now, Batman and Robin are infiltrating Luthor's tower to get info on the whole Kahndaq situation. All NacNak really established was that Luthor happened to be watching some scientists work on something while this was going on.There's a code red at the Watchtower right now, but Dblade and Vita be sure to complete your mission with Lex before reporting back to the Watchtower and joining in the fight. It's believable that Batman would want to take care of that first, because he's more of a street-level hero, and there's plenty of superpowered heroes in the Justice League to handle cosmic threats. Batman is an asset against those threats, no doubt about it, but he's real expertise is investigation.I'm going to let BlackSam make a post in the IC first, because his last post left off with Aquaman going to speak to J'onn about some issues with Atlantis and I feel like he should have the opportunity to have that conversation, or at least start to have it, before Brainainc's forces show up and he has to hop into battle. So after BlackSam's next psot, I'll try to post again. I really think the ideas that BlackSam has brought to the table, like Atlantis being fed up with humans dumping waste in the water and stuff like that, fits well with the theme of the story and the reason Brainiac has come to Earth in the first place. In the future having Brainaic sort of trying to turn Aquaman against the humans and trying to show him how inherently evil he believes them to be will set up some great character moments. And I'm hoping that in the climax of the story we might see Aquaman calling upon the armies of Atlantis to rise up and help defend the humans or something to that effect. That would be a perfect story arc.


I'm in the middle of writing the post right now Zeus, wont have to wait to long! And I was thinking that the troubles of Atlantis could become a later storyline for us, I'm glad to see you've noticed the groundwork I've been laying. The armies of Atlantis being called to help the surface world could easily lend itself to my idea!

As to Batman I have to say I disagree. Bruce, while primarily concerning himself with Gotham, is a pragmatist. To his mind Lex Luthor, while still an evil man, isn't bent on destroying the world. Batman, on seeing the approaching alien invasion, would put two and two together, realising that the invasion would take precedence over any problem he has with lexcorp's war profiteering. It's why Bruce is so ambiguous about his desire to be in the League. He knows the Leagues problems always take precedence over anything else.

Just food for Dblades thought

eh-heh-heh... I meant to do that, I was planning on editing the post when I had the time, I was just feeling a bit rushed when I made it, and it turned out way longer then I anticipated X3

I just kind of find a lot of what he did in the OP to be kind of iffy in terms of politeness for RPs but I'm letting it slide and I don't want to make a big deal out of this stuff. No real harm so all's forgiven although I'm not sure how 'interrogate Luthor' involves Maximus, if you could explain that'd be good.

and yeah NicNak if you could try to work on formatting/capitalizing/punctuation and all that jazz a little more it would make reading and understanding your posts and such a lot easier. I don't mean to be a grammar nazi either, it just saves time and makes things nicer.

As for Batman ignoring that stuff...um...I don't think he would, could the Lex stuff maybe be happening at a different time or...something? I just don't feel like it's in-character for Batman to ignore a major threat to Earth and agree with earlier mentioned stuff a bit...but hmm...

Well it's a relief that's all cleared up.

Hey just a note: I'll post my char whenever the attack goes for the surface.

Yeah you could just have Batman finish up with Lex, then get the alert to return to the Watchtower. Simple enough.

I'd say give blade some time to do his thing ^.^

Shoot Dblade, if you wanna mix in an unidentified agent to cause some trouble, I think we can route my character over that way. Nothing hits your plan harder than some masked individual with guns.

But see, here's the thing. While I don't really want to throw some ARGUS Agent in there (no offense, it's just not what I was hoping for) I also didn't want or expect to play the whole scene myself or for NicNak to play Luthor if it comes to that, which frankly makes me uncomfortable at the idea.

I was hoping the GM would take time to play Luthor for that scene so that nobody would screw up his plans for whatever the Khandaq thing becomes since this whole confrontation would be about that and it's important to the plot. Maybe he was already planning on doing that but the NicNak thing made me doubt it a little and I'm not quite sure how to proceed.

just to clarify, I temporarily borrowed control of Lex Luthor so I could get Maximus into the story, I wasn't planning on controlling him entirely, so do with him what you will =3

That's not at all what I said. I said for you to do your scene with Lex, and then at the end of the scene, Batman can hear the Watchtower alert.

The scene with Lex and Batman can easily take place entirely before the battle at the Watchtower.

Oh right, um... I'm honestly considering changing characters right now, since amongst other things I can't seem to be inspired by my current one. I mean I liked the idea, but I just can't seem to write her at all.

So I guess I'll just be brainstorming new character ideas for now.

At the moment, I seem to be considering either Renee Montoya as The Question (she's actually my favourite Batfamily character, although I'm really worried I'd screw her up because of this ^^;) or an OC Batgirl (because I am sure I would screw up one of the canon ones), but I'll think more about it later. I got barely any sleep tonight and my mind isn't working too well as a result. ^^;

I will admit that my initial fallback idea was Supergirl, but since Zeus doesn't want her to be around just yet that's kind of not an option anymore. XD

I gotta admit, I don't know much about the Question other than the one in the DCAU, but I hear he's not actually anything like the real deal. If you can't use Supergirl what about Power Girl?
