Raphael ^Luigi Linden

Decorated with a blue cap that resembled Toucan Sam's beak, the Blue Bullet pulled himself over a parapet before hearing a tell-tale whistle and the subtle crunch of lead planting itself in a brick he'd been touching the previous instant. Having been shot before, the blue blaster found sudden motivation to jolt to cover behind the brick barrier.

"A little bit faster, Blue," the Green Arrow chimed from over the radio.

The emerald archer and his blue affliate were taking care of a dynamic trio of bank thieves. One was an expert marksman, an expert brawler, and the last was the getaway man, an escape artist. Fortunately, the original arrow had stayed back to prevent Raphael from being shot or bludgeoned into a crimson stain. So it was up to the teal titan to stop the running man.

The problem? He simply wasn't Speedy enough.

Roughly fourty yards from his target, Raph snatched out his left gun before letting out half a dozen shots, each closer to the target than the last. Fortunately, he managed to impact on the getaway man's shoulder, blowing him down like a cardboard cutout. If it weren't for the option of rubber bullets, the day would've been a lot less convenient.

Raphael Linden was still running. He wasn't in a pursuit. He wasn't facing death. He wasn't even exercising. He was late for class. Technically he was only late for being early, but his morning routine was pretty dependant on being early. Even more so than anything he could learn to be the greatest superhero, he needed to master punctuality if he were to be the greatest man.

His plans were solid. Eat breakfast, shower, etcetera. It was the execution that proved tricky. It seemed that no motivational poster he hung on his wall could change his characteristics for him.

"This is for the birds." Black Canary once told him that he seemed to have more in common with molasses than a Robin. Frankly, he couldn't agree more some days, like today. But he was sick of being compared to the legendary powerless sidekicks of old who had a knack for everything. It was like comparing apples to oranges.

He got good grades, was physically superior to most, and was told that he had the potential for greatness by the Green Arrow. The problem was.. he just didn't see it.

Just a few questions.

How old are the Legauers? How many classes of Titans have graduated? How does enrollment work? And did the Golden Age (JSA) happen as with Post-Crisis?

| NAME: |

Raphael Luigi Linden

| ALIAS: |

Crosshairs

| AGE: |

17

| ABILITIES/SKILLS/EQUIPMENT: |

Outfit

A black kevlar weave is sewn over a super-dense layer of insulation modeled after a polar bear that is so effective that it renders covered areas nearly invisible to thermal imaging methods. At the same time, his excess body heat is stored in a way that it can be channeled back to him when its needed. Over his heart is a florescant orange emblem consisting of crosshairs. A similar color is used on his utility belt and his bootlaces. Overall his outfit is sleek and functional. It does not shine in many places, save for the metals he carries. He wears a domino mask over his face styled exactly like many others.

Skills

While nowhere near the greatest marksman in the world, he has a level of skill with handguns surpassing ninety-five percent of all other gunowners. Also he has several years of experience of wrestling practice mediated by the public school system. He also has finesse like you wouldn't believe. He can deftly dive, tumble, and dance around an opponent all day long, assuming he isn't wearing his battle suit. He is a practiced traceur and BMX biker.

Weaponry

Keeping one for each hand, a pair of heavily customized pistols are his signature weapons. In an effort to avoid bloodshed, he uses a variety of specialized ammunitions (Rubber, Foam, Concussive, Incendiary, Jamming, etc.). He chooses to keep an intimidating buck knife on his belt in a sheath beside a grappling gun.

Wood-O-Kinesis

He has a unique and limited form of alchemy. By setting his fingers against a wooden object and concentrating, he can greatly strengthen the wood to the toughness of tempered steel. This extends to certain paper products, sawdust, and plantlife. Roots, stems, and nuts included.

| LIMITATIONS AND WEAKNESSES: |

Though he would spite you for using it as an excuse for fragility, he is only human. His body suit, because of its density, makes it difficult and somewhat tiresome to move in at times. Also, he has a finite supply of hefty specialized ammunition. His combat skills are far surpassing the average Joe, but not yet on par with a disciple of the bat.

He is incapable of reshaping, controlling, or even weakening woods. If he were to strengthen a tree, its fruits would not be super hard, and the growth process would not be interrupted. And if two plants are connected, only the organism physically touched would be affected. It does affect dead woods, slowing their decay though not improving their health.

| SAMPLE POST: |

The arms of the Black Canary twirled like a pinwheel, solidly smacking away every rushed strike Raphael could've dreampt of making. So he bent backwards, dropping all of his weight onto his left arm as he shot his toes at her face. But the Canary swooped below his kick and grabbed his wrist before slinging the teen ten feet to the side.

When his body bounced by the feet of Oliver Queen, the Emerald Archer smirked before scanning the legs wrapped in fishnets. He cocked his head before smirking at the blonde. He took in a breath, exhaling, "F-"

"Funny the Canary should send people flying!" From the floor, it was the Blue Bullet. Ollie's first sidekick not to use a bow.

Oliver had half a mind to kick the teen. He would've added insult to injury, but every time he tried to get a shot in, the boy turned the joke on its creator like some sick weapon.

"Too bad there's not a way to pulverize me where I don't come out looking like a cheetah with all these bruises," Raphael sighed before pushing up off the ground.

"Let's try again," the Black Canary urged him. "After all, what doesn't kill you makes you -"

"Stranger. It could debilitate you for life if it doesn't traumatize you the old fashioned way." With this in mind, he walked back up to the blonde bombshell, hugging the left side of his ribcage to gauge the pain. It wasn't the worst he'd ever felt. But that hardly meant he wanted seconds. He decided to put up with it anyways the moment he made another headstrong rush for the seasoned brawler.

It'd be a terrible amount of work, but there could be AI players (purposefully bad idea).

Every game, you could assign one player to be a double agent. There could be conditions at the game's start such as broken bones, deafness, blindness, or poison (enforced through the AR suits) to teach students to deal with problems.

Wraith's idea has my vote. More dynamic. Think it could be interesting if power balance was purposefully tipped though.

Talking 40 vs 60 instead of 50 50. Fair isn't interesting.

Six is a good number anyway, right?

It'd be cool if ARC teams were divided into more than two teams for the sake of encouraging a greater quasi-political aspect to the IC and more complex character relations.

@Blue Demon Back in my day, nudes didn't feature typos.

By nudes I meant Memes. Allen distracted me.

Wow Wraith. I think you just got the most tedious aspect of building this game thrown to you. Too bad you didn't have course selection in the CS.
