Titans: Unique Young Superheroes RP

Metronome said
Let's face it, Batman would totally know. He probably would have figured it the moment Bucky surfaced as the Winter Soldier. That means Nightwing could either have learned it from Bats, or he could just suspect it.If you wanted to somehow figure out a way for him and James to have known each other in their Bucky and Robin days, then James would probably have told him himself. But that would make Nightwing obscenely old.

I can buy that, Batman I can't imagine would be super trusting of Bucky considering his alliance with Captain America and thus having a connection with The Avengers (Howard as well). Dick would want Bucky on the team as the trainer though because of how skilled Bucky is. I'm sure Batman warned Nightwing, but Nightwing hasn't really talked about it with Bucky yet having not had the chance.

Also with Howard I can't see him realizing yet that Dick is Nightwing until this starts, since Dick's going to be honest about his identity to the others seeing it as a show of trust.

Gonna re post the profile sheet for Nightwing, he'll have intel on everyone but I don't think his quite met everyone face to face. Few people, Batman handled others.

Full name: Richard 'Dick' Grayson
Alias: Nightwing
Brief Bio: Richard's family were already another part of a grand legacy by the time he was born. Known the world over as The Flying Graysons, the family was considered by many one of, if not the premier acrobatic performers in the world of the circus. Dating back to the 19th century the family branched out from not just tight rope walking, to motorcycle ball of death, being shot out of cannons, and other kinds of performances over the years.

Richard immediately took to the high wire act. Almost to an unhealthy degree as when he wasn't up there performing he was dreaming of doing so. Even as it meant daydreaming through his schoolings on the road. Life was grand for Dick regardless though as he was always around family and traveling the world. It was one night though in Gotham City that everything changed. It was a charity show put on by Wayne Industries. Things were going swimmingly until the show was attacked by Joker. The city's most feared villain who was hell bent on robbery and destruction. When Joker activated a giant bomb Dick leaped to action, trying to deactivate the bomb before getting it rolled out to the nearby river where it detonated with no one getting hurt. However he was able to return to the show in time to watch his parents get shot and killed by Joker.

All alone and with nothing except adoption and foster home Hell as far as he could see. Dick Grayson was surprised when a certain individual came and visited him at the adoption center. The man was none other than Bruce Wayne. As much as he adored Mr. Wayne and enjoyed the things that came with it. Grayson's heart burned from what had happened to him. He would go out at night, even for his young age, and would prowl looking for thugs to beat up. Not only getting the thrills he used too but giving himself therapy for the short comings in his life. When Batman found him Grayson assumed he was going to be something horrible for his actions. Only to realize that Batman and Bruce Wayne were the same people. After spending ages trying to convince his father to give him a chance. Dick Grayson trained and practiced vigorous for a year before being able to don the red and black of Robin. Fast forward to now, and the Robin of old has wanted to branch out on his own. Getting his mentor's permission Dick Grayson traveled out to San Francisco. Where his challenge of starting a team of young superheroes begins.

Abilities: While not possessing any particular superpowers technically, Nightwing is simply put ungodly athletic. Thanks to not only training from Batman in all things combat since he was little, Nightwing also has a long history with circus acrobatics, something his been able to hone and perfect as well. Able to move, leap, and strike with peak human performance levels (some would even suggest more so) Nightwing is possibly one of the strongest hand to hand fighters in the world. Having the resources and means to create technological items to help further his skill and take down ability. Nightwing possesses a special bo staff that can also snap into a pair of escrima sticks, both with tasers at their far ends from the connecting point, and also the entire thing comes with a fail safe on Nightwing's suit which electrocutes anyone foolish to try and take his weapon from him. Add to this smoke bombs, goggles that provide both night vision and heat signatures, as well as wingshots, his own version of Batman's baterangs. He has a complete arsenal on him at all times for combat. The only other thing of note is his night rider (not to be confused with that show from the 80's). A heavily modified motocross bike with strong body work, a heavy duty engine, and highly durable tires that provide self sealing and reinflation capabilities when punctured.

Personality: Dick Grayson's attitude could be very surprising considering how one moment, Dick comes off as chill, relaxed, self-confident, and certainly brash in some ways. However Nightwing is fearless, almost too fearless for his own good. Never seeing a fight he thought twice about, or a dangerous situation he even paused on. This has always been Nightwing's style, battle evil like he was playing with house money. Batman has had problems with it in the past, and the two have argued over it more than once. For Nightwing though its more than just saving lives. All his life Dick Grayson sought the next thrill. The thing that would get his blood pumping. From his circus acrobatics, to skateboarding, to motocross, to skydiving. Dick has done it all and in some cases sucked the thrill out of it. Of course for him being Nightwing isn't just a thrill, its to fight back the evils of the world that almost took everything from him. Although that isn't to say he won't talk an ungodly amount of crap at any criminal who crosses him. While proceeding to beat the living crap out of them.

Appearance:

Standing at around 6'1 Dick Grayson is a stunning specimen of man. Toned to borderline perfection in muscle mass and his muscle to fat ratio.

Affiliations: Leader of the Teen Titans, team liaison for Teen Titans with Justice League.
Batman – adopted father, mentor
Barbara Gordon – long time friend, former girlfriend
Wally West (Kid Flash) – Best friend

Notes:

Titans: Unique Young Superheroes RP

Should Nightwing know? I can see it either way.

Also I'm going to go ahead and redo the opening post, so disregard everything Pit related unless someone takes him over. Also I need to bug Rin and Gowi to post.

I can't wait until when Nightwing gives Howard the ultimate reality check. I'm sure Nightwing has known about the guy for years being in the same position of super rich kid, but isn't a gigantic dick.

Titans: Unique Young Superheroes RP

No Bucky and Dick seem like they would get one another perfectly and be bros. course I can see Dick constantly giving Bucky grief for using guns. "Seriously man, guns are too easy, you don't understand the joy of roundhouse kicking a guy than tasering him on the way down..."

Alright well I'm beginning to get the sneaking suspicion that I am a sad, sad person. In trying to think of a next post I generally know what to say and do with Loki, I just can't wrap my brain around how to handle Pit. Sure he'd go gorge on pancakes but I can't quite get the mannerisms and voice of him in my head. Not like voice acting lines from the game but what I would have him saying. More I've seen Nightwing's style in all this fitting in so I think I'm going to do YET ANOTHER swap out and make it Nightwing and Loki.

So if someone wants pit they can have him, I'm totally cool with someone playing multiple characters (just look at my sad self) and you can even just keep the profile sheet I made since it's basically canonical.

Titans: Unique Young Superheroes RP

One quick note too, I don't think they've all been told about one another in too much detail, plus when it comes to Loki they won't realize its him given that his appearance has changed from his evil stuff which they'll all be most likely well aware of.

Young Justice 2021

Yeah it doesn't help that I've been busy with cooking, holiday shopping, and all kinds of other stuff.

Plus I have an RP myself I needed to get going. With writer's block no less.

Titans: Unique Young Superheroes RP

Alright I started the RP up, simple start for now, everyone moving into the base and all that. I'll start up the first story when everyone have a post up.

It probably sucks, my first post I mean. But still I've taken long enough so I had to get something out there.

Also yes there's a hot springs in the gym. Lady Palutena had it placed there for Pit, but the others will certainly be welcome to it.

The almost obnoxiously loud buzz went through the city of San Fransokyo, the neighboring city of San Francisco. Its source screeched through city streets and back alleys as its driver silently cursed at himself for being late. He figured it wasn't much, 10, 20 minutes top. Still this was a big deal for the young man. A first for him and his nerves were getting to him in a way he wasn't used too.

Still, the now former sidekick of Batman wasn't really too concerned. This project was something he had yearned to have for years. The Justice League, and The Avengers also frankly, were the supreme leaders in being heroes for billions. However both were fairly exclusive clubs. If you were to get into either group. That meant not only you had something special, but that special something has been honed to perfection through years of training and practice. Nightwing had felt honored to be a part of something like that. However one could make the perfectly valid argument he was only a part of it because of his mentor. Batman wanted the man formerly known as Robin to stay by his side, who the Hell was crazy enough to say no?

Still, young heroes are popping up out of the wood works like crazy. Some of them have gotten personal funding or some other mysterious source to handle their business (Heck this city itself had a hexagon's worth protecting it). Still many of them didn't have the luxury of places to go or training to get that didn't involve live targets with live ammunition. Batman himself had helped with the recruitment but his ideals and Nightwing's clashed more than once. Bucky Barnes and Iron Lad were a big one. The both of them had deep connections to The Avengers. A group who though not active in pursuing the Justice League, weren't exactly buddy buddy with them either. ESPECIALLY after that whole superhero registration business. That went down about as smooth as a jar of salt onto an open wound. Still Nightwing knew Bucky personally and respected him enough to willingly give him a chance as the group's trainer. Knowing full well Bucky was going to whoop some asses into shape.

Iron Lad on the other hand... Nightwing had met him a few times. As rich socialite kids are one to do when their parents hold big fancy parties like Bruce Wayne and Tony Stark have in the past. While Iron Lad seemed on board of the idea Nightwing knew it was probably not for any respectable reason. Still, he knew Iron Lad had firepower that would help in the long run, plus he personally had plenty of time to whip the rich brat into not being such a douche. Especially considering the tiny little fact that when Tony Stark finally signed off on his son being in the Teen Titans program, there was a part of the contract that allowed Nightwing and Bucky to use physical force as a means to keep Howard in line. Nightwing smiled to himself, so happy his lawyers got that part put in having dealt with the little shit themselves.

The other big sticking point for Batman and Nightwing was in Loki. Though truthfully neither of them were particularly happy about the idea in general. Loki's past clashed with theirs countless times, and it barely ever pretty. Still Thor believed Loki was a changed man after everything that had happened between them. Did Batman or Nightwing believe it? Batman's intuition led him to think so enough to hesitantly agree, Nighting didn't quite as much. So as much as the young hero didn't like the idea of the god of trickery on the team. There wasn't anything he could do about it anymore. For now all Nightwing could do was trust the one man he knew in his life he could never really trust before.

The rest of the team was... interesting... to say the least. A fighting robot master, a mythical creature, a young martial artist from a faraway magical land, an alien fresh off the spacecraft, another alien posing as a pop singer. The group had some seriously weird elements going for it. It was an experiment after all. One with many different combustible elements in it. Hell the last thing he remembered from being in the Justice League HQ last was Clint, Peter, Barry, and Kyle all chuckling at Clint's joke about how Nightwing was about to babysit an insane asylum. A bit stinging in the zinger department, but sadly Nightwing knew it wasn't far off from the truth either.

After crossing the Golden Gate Bridge into San Francisco, Nightwing had the secret door open to the new base's underground garage. The place was woefully empty besides the elevator up and some humming incandescent light. As Nightwing's heavily modified motocross bike zipped into a parking position the engine was killed and the bike kicked upright. Nightwing removed his helmet, which he wore with his mask underneath. Though he had planned on eventually showing the team his secret identity as a means of trust, he wanted to make sure first it wouldn't backfire on him in a horrible manner. As Nightwing put his helmet into a locker in the garage his transmitter earpiece gave the buzz that there was a call coming in through the encoded private line. “Nightwing here.” He started simply enough.

“Master Grayson, Batman wanted me to call to make sure you made it to the new base alright.” The slightly Britished twinged voice of Alfred, the family butler. Always gave Nightwing a calming effect. Still Nightwing smirked, even after the bird has flown the nest...

“Yeah I was a little late with all that stuff back at the airport but I'm fine.” Nightwing noted as he cracked his knuckles and made his way to the elevator. “Has Batman started getting any leads on what happened?”

“He has been... roughing up some hooligans around the shipyards Master Grayson. Apparently Joker hasn't told many people what he was up too tonight, not even his men.”

Nightwing grimaced as he pushed the button to close the elevator door. This wasn't like Joker as although he was naturally nuts, he usually made it a habit to keep his men controlled and organized on plans. So why he wouldn't even tell his guys about stealing a small aircraft? “Alright tell Batman to keep me updated on what's going on alright?” Nightwing responded as he waited for the lift to arrive to the main floors.

“Sir, Master Wayne has instructed me to ensure you focus on your new project, he plans on taking care of Joker himself. In the meantime he instructed me to make sure you start focusing on... ahem... running the young insane asylum out there.”

Nightwing chuckled to himself, forgetting that Batman, through all the gruff and anger, actually did have a funny bone in there somewhere.

The building, from the outside at least, looked like it was barely hanging on in this December night. The sign out front seemed like it was going to fall down at any moment, the bricks were discolored and what color was on them was peeled and cracked. If this was all some elaborate hoax, than credit due to the designers or whoever was in charge of this place.

Still, as the trickster god looked up at the building, holding a single black duffle bag strapped over his shoulder. Quietly Loki scratched the side of his cheek. “Hardly the most fitting living quarters I suppose...” He quietly muttered to himself. It had been a week ago he spoke with his brother Thor. Joining a young hero initiative seemed like a strange idea, after all, Loki isn't really young except in his current form.

Stepping in Loki was impressed by the very spacious living quarters that were hidden inside, if baron of anyone else at the moment. The main room had numerous couches in front of a rather large flat screen TV. It laid above a glass surrounded room that had a platform leading into it. Seemed to be attached to the roof by the looks of things. There was a large looking kitchen with attached dining room. And on the other end of the large building all of the living quarters to each of the members, Loki put his bag away into what was labeled as his. Rather sparse at the moment but Loki could only figure as much. Still Loki in his time on the roads hadn't had a bed he could rest in reliably for some time. Loki felt the nice sheet in his hands before with a sigh he gently let himself lay down. The wonderfully comfortable mattress let Loki finally relax for the first time. Things felt great, peaceful in that moment in time.

Soon enough Loki heard the others pouring in through the front door. There was a brief moment when Loki thought about going in and introducing himself. Being hospitable to the people he now had to have watching his back. 'Hmm, probably not wise just yet...' Loki thought to himself. 'They don't really know me yet, the new me. I'd probably be attacked before I had a chance to say anything...' Sighing at the realization Loki just laid onto his bed for a bit longer. He probably should of thought this all through a bit more.
