An Outsider

Young Justice 2022: League of Their Own

My face falls for the briefest of moments, but I quickly master myself, employing a more neutral expression. Cassandra's answer, though not what I wanted, was no more than I expected. As of this moment I have yet to completely profile my teammates, instead relying on my preliminary findings and basic evaluations of their characters, and what I know of Miss Martin should have informed me that this would have been the flavor of her answer. She suffers from the fierce independence and refusal to rely on others that seems to color most vigilante hero types, myself included (Ironic really, when you consider our current location and situation!). I realize now that coming at her head on was a mistake. Now I've only made her grit her teeth and dig her heels, even less likely to accept my help than she was at the beginning. In retrospect I should have employed a more obsequious ploy. Alas, hindsight is 20/20, even for one such as I. I have gained some insight though, mostly through her physical reactions. Firstly she seemed ready to attack me (Another reaction I was expecting, though what I would have done in a physical confrontation against a woman trained by Amazons I'm not entirely certain), but then her face relaxed and she displayed the motions of suppressing a sigh, both signs of relief. At first I imagined it was because I had managed to penetrate her frosty exterior, but now I am unfortunately forced to reevaluate. Assumption; Relief not caused by proffered helping hand, perhaps I have missed something she wishes kept secret. Again I go back to her exile to Paradise Isle. There is a link there, I just know it, one that is integral to the problem at hand. She attempts to intimidate me, meaning to menace me by threatening to reveal the details of my future. I fail to suppress a grin at the laughable nature of the threat. My future is unwritten, the man I will become a mere wisp of the man I am at this very moment. The actions of some insubstantial phantom of tomorrow wearing my face and body concerns me not at all. In the past I have drawn comparisons to a dog with a bone when I have found a case of interest, and like a dog I will not release upon my treat of choice easily, especially when those wishing me to desist employ such juvenile means. Still, I am forced to accept that I must change tact. If she will not accept my help then I will force my help upon her. Cassandra expresses her wish to leave the room (Deduction; The headache is a fortuitous excuse for her to make her escape) so I step out of her way, quite graciously, acceding this early round to her. I have other avenues to explore after all, and this battle is far from over. This was merely an opening shot! I do leave her with a warning of my own however. "I discovered all that with little more than a cursory search after I discovered we would be team mates. Imagine what I will dig up now you have caught my attention. Something to consider." She poses a question in need of answering, and I will not be dissuaded.

The Outsiders (DC comics based OC Superhero RP) High Casual

You have heard of the Justice League? Yes, of course you have, who on this planet hasn't. What of Young Justice, the team of sidekicks and apprentices, who just last year stopped the Tomorrow Woman and her insane plans? I was one of them for a while, that is correct, but not any more. I no longer think their methods are enough to protect this world. Just as prevention is better than cure, we must seek out the root of evil before it flowers into something far more sinister. For this reason I have been tasked with forming a team, one unlike any other. We will work in the shadows. We will take on the missions the League dares not. We will cross the lines that 'good' men cannot, all in the name of protecting the innocent. We will do what must be done, even if it blurs the line between right and wrong. If we do our jobs right no one will even know we have done a job at all. We will not be celebrated as heroes. We will be the monsters on the side of angels. We will be Outsiders. Fenrir This game, set in an alternate DC comics universe, will explore what it means to really be a hero. The sacrifices that must be made, the costs that demand payment, the lines that have to be crossed. Just like in the real world things aren't going to be black and white. Every action and choice will have a consequence, some good and some bad. The Outsiders is actually a spin-off from Kid Lanterns long running Young Justice RP, a concept I've never seen on this site. In essence this will allow us to share a continuity, opens up story telling potential, helps with universe building and gives us the option of crisis crossovers further down the road. I'm looking for a small (About four or five), dedicated group of players to take on the roles of a group of misfits and outcasts, anti-heroes and reformed villains. The type of guys that would never make it on the Justice League or Avengers, but might just have what it takes for the Outsiders. Characters should preferably be OC's, but you can put new spins on preexisting DC characters. Ideally I'm after a real mix of powers and personaltys. Diversity is the key to a good superhero team in my opinion. Below is a skeleton CS, as well as the CS for my character Fenrir to showcase what I'm looking for.

Skeleton CS

Name Alias Age Personality Powers Weaknesses Appearance BRIEF Bio What they bring to the team? Notes

Sample CS

Name Magnus Boyle Alias Fenrir Age 20 Personality Aggressive, confrontational, and suspicious, though loyal to his old friends. Powers Super Strength; Super speed;Enhanced durability and cellular regeneration;Super senses; Weaknesses Alpha Male Mentality, Arrogant. Lack of fine digit control and inability to process complex tasks, such as driving a car or typing at a keyboard while in wolf form. Loss of control while in 'wolf mode', making him a danger to both friend and foe. Problems with anger management. Appearance Magnus is just under 6' tall, with broad shoulders that taper too slim hips, a wolf-lean physique that grants him great speed and strength. His hair grows wild and course, with a beard that most would call untamable. His eyes are a piercing blue that seem almost canine. His teeth look a touch to long and sharp, and there is something just a touch too savage about him to be considered normal. When he transforms he becomes a 6'7" tall bipedal wolf-man. His head is large and lupine with bright, blue eyes and massive canine jaws ending in rows of sharp teeth. His shoulders are muscular but not too heavy for his frame, arms long and powerful. His legs are digitigrade and both fingers and toes have long, tough talons capable of shredding through armour plating. He also has a tufty tail, one that is constantly getting in his way, however it also helps him keep his balance. Pardoning the pun he is wolf lean without a shred of fat on his body. His entire form is covered in thick, coarse black hair. His Nth metal armour has been cunningly crafted with a series of hinges and clasps that open up to allow him to transform while wearing it and still provide enhancement and protection to both his human and 'Wolf' forms. Brief Bio Fittingly enough Magnus Boyle was born in Alaska, on a balmy midsummer night during a full moon in 2002. His parents were overjoyed with their lusty, new-born baby boy, However when he grew his baby inch long canines and chewed through the furniture things weren't quite as jovial. From then on it was obvious Magnus wasn't a normal boy. He never got sick,he would howl at the moon, tore his fluffy stuffed bunny into shreds with his teeth, all sorts of stuff that would be hard to justify as 'normal'. He was never violent to his family or friends but it was off-putting enough to warrant a visit to the family doctor. They tried to keep Magnus's peculiarities a secret from the world at large, but secrets have a habit of getting found out. No one is sure were they came from but in the year 2012 several black vans were seen around the Boyles' home town. Shortly after that Magnus went missing. His parents still search to this day, but they have never found so much as a whisker of their son. Secretly he was captured by a highly classified agency with the goal of creating their own meta-powered army, led by the sinister Dr Gretta Tante. Eventually Magnus escaped, but not before they had turned him into an unrecognizable Wolfman. Magnus 'assisted' Hawkman in taking down a League of Shadows assassin cell that was set to remove a politician from office. I say assist, but it would be more accurate to say that the Wolf brutalized the ninja's before Hawkman stepped in, stopping Magnus from tearing the assassins limb from limb. The two fought, as heroes usually do upon first meeting, with Hawkman gaining the upper hand after a lengthy fight. The Feathered Avenger was impressed with Magnus's sheer power, but realized his savagery could become extremely destructive if left unchecked, and decided to take the pup under his wing, so to speak. Eventually Fenrir joined the original Young Justice team, taking part in the efforts against Shrapnel and Deathstroke, but left after a feeling abandoned by his team mates and a disastrous battle with an Atlantean mutant. He eventually rejoined just in time to help the Team take down the villain Cinderblock, and played a key role in stopping Clara Kendall and her cyborg army from dominating Northern America. Superman and Hawkman, deciding that Fenrir's training is complete, have publicly given the Wolfman reserve League status. In secret however they have tasked him with forming a new team, one that can handle threats that the League cannot. What they bring to the team Fenrir brings a wealth of experience to the Team. Though young he has been involved with Young Justice and the Justice League in some form or another for almost two years, and before that he was trained by the villainous Granny to be a living weapon. He's one of the best hand to hand fighters in the world, and already knows that sometimes doing the right thing isn't easy. However he also brings his faults. His vendetta against Granny can sometimes blind him to the bigger picture, hampering him in ways that can affect the mission. His Wolf form is savagery unbound, and almost completely out of his control. In it he is just as likely to hurt friend as he is foe.

Young Justice 2022: League of Their Own

Like the send off for Plas, getting him into charity work is an inspired choice of development for the character. Also, I know I've said it before, but Gabe and Jin's relationship is one of my favorite parts of this RP. That happy to finally see them get their act together that I was nearly cheering after that last post. On top of this I have news. I've been speaking to KL lately about starting a new RP, named The Outsiders, centered around a new team of heroes in the YoungJustice2022 universe. I'll be GMing and playing Fenrir, who will be leading a rag tag group of misfits, anti-heroes and reformed villains, taking on the dirty jobs that the League or Young Justice can't be seen touching. Think Suicide Squad or X-Force. I'll be looking to get five or six newplayers for the rp. Hopes are that once it has developed its own feel that we might be able to do crossovers and the such, but that wont be for a while. I'll still be playing in YJ too, so I'll be effectively acting as the link for the two games. So there's that.
