I'm an Interdiscplinary BA, searching for a job in the current market, and this site has been my introduction to role-play. I prefer medieval and/or sci-fi roleplays and am a fan of Star Trek, Star Wars, RWBY, Fire Emblem Awakening, Superheroes, and Fairy Tail.
@Cyrania - you mentioned a few pages back having Dr Banjamin appear at Frost Industries. Confession, I did have to consult Wikipedia for this character, but I'd love to do that if you were serious.
I know this is very much our own stories going on currently, however, the Worlds need to Collide and I prefer collaboration over writing in a silo, it keeps me more engaged so we can make that happen!
My overall goal for Emma is to get her into the fray of things. She's currently a covert mutant in the broader sense, and those who know she is a mutant only know her as a telepath. In this universe, her diamond form is a complete secret and is her way of handling emotional distress.
That sounds great! After the Fire Trolls, we can set up how his application goes with Frost Industries and then figure out how/if he and Frost end up realizing the other is a telepath.
Just to clarify though, the Dr. Benjamin here is an original character to this universe. There aren't many established Martian characters in DC lore so I decided to take the opportunity to make my own for the story purposes.
@Cyrania Just found this image and realised the people might be a bit more scared of MM and Firestorm based on their appearances than I previously thought
Oh yeah, those two together most likely come off as a bit scary.
Damn, I feel like I’ve been struggling to keep up lately. My bad. Any major event that I missed out outside of the one involving Arthur?
Well, there's been a few others
Sep is starting the Space Battle above Earth with Nova which Firebird plans to join in.
Mao Mao had Magneto start his presidency of Genosha.
Batman is going to do something in Robinson Park.
Cassie found the Underworld then managed to escape.
John Constatine is seeking a friend who seriously went downhill and gets visions of his sister still.
Huntress & the Question met for the first time.
And there was a 'ship attack' which caused Lionel Luther to seek to push for a US nation-wide Vigilante Registration Act and he also put a bounty on Thor's head of $1000 as he plans to arrest him.
Within the Arthur event, Captain Marvel made his first appearance as part of the Arthur Fire Troll adventure along with Firestorm. Martian Manhunter and Thor have also joined in. Emma Frost mostly just dreamed about Scott Summers and decided to have one of her employees bring her sushi. Also the Fire Troll attack is on the news.
Then there was another flashback of Punisher's war days.

- A B I L I T I E S ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ◼ Psychic Powerset As a Martian, of course M'gann has inherent psychic powers. M'gann though is a prodigy and her time as the Martian Maiden has taught her how to push her powers to their limits. She can do much of what her father can do with telepathy and telekinesis, from flying to healing to light illusions and the like. However, she can push them farther and for longer. She also cannot psychically control or manipulate fire. Mostly since Martian psychic powers have a strange side effect where fire tends to worsen and go out of control if any of their psychic energy is used on it though she was also given some extra conditioning to fear it.
◼ Shapeshifting Shapeshifting is another inherent Martian trait that she has though she's not the most proficient with it yet. Her training as made her be able to change quickly but it takes her more time to figure out what form to take and she has a harder time deviating from her regular form.
◼ Phasing Technically an aspect of both shapeshifting and psychic powers, only among the most powerful and skilled Martians are able to turn invisible and phase through people, buildings, and objects at will. M'gann is among those so skilled. It is an incredibly draining power but she can keep it up for 15 minutes at a time.
◼ Superstrength, Reflexes, & Durability Her strength and durability are slighter lesser than her father, given that she is a teen girl as opposed to an adult man. But it's still more substantial than most men. Her reflexes though are quicker than her father's.

M'gann J'onzz grew up the beloved older daughter of J'onn and M'yri'ah with a fairly typical sibling bond with her younger brother J'onat'onn. In school, she had her group of friends, got top marks, and was overall well-regarded by her peers and her teachers, but also had her rivals and her bullies. It was life though and she was looking forward to when she'd be in high school then off to higher education when she scored well on the exams. The house fire changed all that.
Her memories of that time are the haziest. One moment, she was setting up to perform a private play with her friends. The next, the house was ablaze and strangers in protective suits were charging in before she could even scream. The next moment, she was in a dark room, deep underground, where she wasn't able to sense what went outside that room. She was told that her family was dead, from her father to her little brother. White Martians had been behind the fire, a mindless act of violence meant to be the spark to cause the fall of the Martian United Government so that the world would plunge into anarchic chaos. But she had the power to help, if she'd allow them to train her. And in her grief and anguish, she agreed.
The training was grueling and she often chaffed under the isolation, but she persevered on, tackling the matter with as much determination as a geometry problem. And when things got too tough, her uncle Malefic would come down and give her a consoling ear to rant to and a shoulder to cry on. It surprised her to find that he was such a major scientist and managed to be allowed to see her, but she was glad of it. It gave her at least one familiar face during that dark time.
She expected that she'd have to stay training until she became an adult. But instead, much to her surprise, it was soon after her fifteenth birthday when she was called upon to take up her uniform and to become the Martian Maiden. She's taken to the role eagerly, seeking to get revenge for her family and to protect her nation. Not knowing that soon, cracks will form in the world as she knows it.

Well, I had already laid the groundwork for Miss Martian to be Martian Manhunter's daughter. In one sense then, this just completes that premise and also explores the Martian United Government's evil from a point of view that hasn't come to understand why it's wrong yet. It'll make sense then when she's more 'end justifies the means' in her actions and all the ways she's similar to but also contrasts Martian Manhunter. Yet I do also want her to be her own person who will have her own story and her own adventures.
For right now, she's on Mars as the Martian United Government's mascot and superhero. If/when she comes to Eartha and ends up reunited with her father, their relationship will at first be estranged and J'onn will be trying to connect with, support, and also correct the daughter that he thought was dead and ended up living a life he never wanted her to live. M'gann meanwhile will be dealing with all the revelations she'll be having while also being a teen girl trying to figure out who she wants to be, seeking her own path between her father's wishes and the world she's known. I also want her to take part in the Teen Titans if that comes off the ground.

Finally done with my Robin sheet. If I get approved I'm hoping to eventually start the Teen Titans with his character if anyone wants to start making members. Marvel characters included.

A B I L I T I E S ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ◼ Peak Olympic Condition Dick Grayson has been trained since he could jump to take to the skies as a Flying Grayson. He also learned to lift weights appropriate for his age as he got older in the circus when hanging out with their Strongman. Thomas helped him condition him even more once he became Robin. He may not consider Dick his son yet, but he'd be damned if he'd lose another one in this war.
◼ Espionage & Stealth Dick was taught the basics of espionage & stealth by his mother when reminiscing about her glory days as a thief in Paris. Thomas honed these skills when he started training him. He would not let Dick be the reason they ended up getting caught by criminals.
◼ Skilled Combatant He's nowhere nearly as skilled or as lethal as Thomas when it comes to fighting, but he's been trained to keep up with him and not get himself killed in the line of fire. He is however an excellent marksman when it comes to throwing weapons thanks to training with the knife throwers at Haly's Circus.
◼ Investigation Dick has always been able to read people because of his circus background, but his time with Thomas honed this ability to make him a proper detective. He applies these skills while fighting crime and discovering the secrets of Gotham Academy with the Detective Club. -

Born to the fantastical Haly's Circus, Dick's life has always been one of thrill and wonder. He was doted on by everyone in the Circus and it truly felt like he was being raised by a village. From as long as he could remember he always wanted to be part of the show and fly on the trapeze like his parents, John and Mary of the Flying Graysons. But until he was old enough to take his position in the skies he started his Circus career as one of the clowns. He learned a lot about showmanship and keeping the attention of the audience with them. As he got older he started being taught by the other performers and game attendants. He took a liking to knife throwing the most. The circus family always commented that with his passion and natural affinity for the circus that he'd end up running Haly's one day. He wanted that more than anything and even Haly himself seemed to want it for him.
When Dick was eleven he finally joined his parents on the Trapeze. The world couldn't believe a child so young was so talented. John and Mary were amazing, but only Dick could perform four flips in a row. This put Haly's Circus on the map, catching a lot of fame and attention, but not all attention was good attention. A year later the Joker was drawn to Haly's and tore through the circus in what became known as the Haly Circus Massacre. In one gruesome night his world shattered and his dreams were destroyed. He barely had time to process what happened before he was adopted by Thomas Wayne. The press caught wind of this and claimed that he was only adopting the young Grayson to make up for his wife's crimes. Richard had shut himself in his new room and was unaware of the media circus going on or the revelation of the Joker was. He just knew he wanted to make her pay for what she had done.
One night Richard fell asleep in the library reading books. He awoke to see Alfred walking out of a hole in the wall where the Grandfather Clock used to be. When Alfred left the room he opened the secret passageway and found himself in the Batcave. It was then that he realized that his new adoptive father was the Batman. He convinced Thomas to take him on as his protege and partner by saying that the Batman needed someone to balance him. He struggled to find a name for himself until he recalled what his mother called him when he joined the Flying Graysons. He was her little bird. Her little Robin. To honor his parents he took on the mantle of Robin to make sure kids wouldn't lose their parents and family the same way that he did. For the past year he's been pushing himself through training and patrolling the streets of Gotham so he could honor his resolve and not be a burden to Thomas. During the day he attends Gotham Academy and has started to finally open up again due to the influence of the kids at the school.

Thomas Wayne is one of my favorite iterations of Batman so when I saw Micki get approved for him I immediately wanted to apply for a Robin sheet, but wasn't sure if I could. Now that the offer is on the table I had to go for it. Dick Grayson has always been my favorite Robin and I wanted to explore his life through this story and see how differently things could go with him raised by Thomas instead of Bruce. I want to have Robin form the Teen Titans in this story as well and hope that this sheet will inspire others to make characters for the team and would be interested to see even Marvel characters join to see how that dynamic plays out.
Outside of that the ideas I have for this version of Dick is to explore his life at Gotham Academy and flex his detective skills with the Detective Club and for them to get into hijinks and explore their growth and feelings as teenagers when facing things that they shouldn't have to. I want to give his story that Nancy Drew, Hardy Boys, and Scooby-Doo vibe where there will be both fake and real monsters and ghosts while exploring that dark side of Gotham.
But we do have some solid kid/teen characters- Your Robin, Bounce's Aqualad, Captain Marvel (Shazam), Nova, Blue Beetle, Firestorm when he's not being part of the Fantastic Four, then Miss Martian can also be a candidate once off Mars. Seems like we have a good chance of having a Teen Titan team before we have an official Justice League/Avengers team.
Speaking of Miss Martian, I should go ahead and make a sheet for her even though she won't be around for a bit. Given her connection to Martian Manhunter, I may as well also play her. And she'd be fun to play off your Robin.
Fingers crossed that I can manage to create her sheet without it going haywire.
Frosty is rich and can travel around places like Metropolis and to Gotham etc.
Will she though?
In all seriousness, I am down for collabing/getting involved. Still catching up, just wanted to slip a post in today that I've been promising for the last 5 days or w.e
Glad you're down for collabing.
I can understand though if Dr. Benjamin serving at Frost Industries wouldn't really suit what you want though.
