Teen Titans: Divided We Fall

Since the days Robin first appeared, teenaged heroes have gathered together in order to become better heroes. Side by side they learn and grow, training to take on evil. United, they are more than just sidekicks, they are the next generation of the world's heroes.

They are the...

Alcatraz.

Perhaps one of the most notorious prisons in all of history. Said to be inescapable but that has hardly held true into the modern era. What was once the the premiere institutuion holding the likes of Al Capone, eventually became a tourist attraction, nothing more than a simple exhibit. Yet the doors to Alcatraz were once again opened upon its conversion into an institute to house those known as 'supervillains'. Perhaps then it should come at no surprise that the authorities and even the island guards turn a blind eye to the activities within the prison.

A convicted Russian hitman, Matvei Rodor had made a lot of enemies over his life which lead him to where he was now. Dragged from his cell by rivals of the family who hired him, Matvei stared down at the waters below as they crashed against the rocky cliffs. The crude blade at his neck was a constant reminded that his life was no longer his own.

"You killed my daughter, you raped my wife." One man spat before delivering a swift kick to Matvei's ribs.

"You made my son eat his own fingers as your tortured him. You killed his mother before his eyes and doused him in her blood." The only man said, the knife pressing hard on Matvei's neck as a drop of blood rolled down the man's sweat laden skin.

"It was just a job..." Matvei managed to say, the knife taking skin with each word he muttered as his throat vibrated against the sharp blade. "It wasn't personal."

"It became personal the minute you killed our families." The second man growled, the knife sliding along Matvei's neck in one swift movement as the blood spilled forth. With a swift kick, the first man sent the body toppling over the edge into the waters below.

"Rot in hell."

Pacing the Titan's War Room, Rose Wilson looked out over the court yard below the tower. A garden filled with all manner of plants, both native to Earth and alien courtesy of the garden's original caretaker. A small stream flowed through it giving off a gentle serenity which is contagious to all around it. Many Titans had spent numerous hours in the garden below contemplating whatever problems weighed down on their minds. But today, was no time for serenity, today was time for the Titans to show Rose that their training had paid off, that the team could in fact work together.

The alien bounty hunter known as Lobo had been sighted entering San Francisco air space and it would only be a matter of time before he started causing trouble. Tracking his trajectory, Rose opened the communications channel to all the Titans.

"Titans, suit up and meet me in the hanger. We've got a bogey and he's a strong one so I hope you all ate your wheaties this morning." Rose ordered as she herself headed towards the T-Wing.

Morning.

He hated mornings. Disorientated by the lack of the ocean breeze and the smell of metal and concrete it took Evander a few moments to once again remind himself he was in the Titans' Tower. It seemed like only yesterday he had traded the tropical island of Themyscria for the polluted land of men. At least the Tower was alongside the ocean, that negated some of the stench of man's machinations and factories. Sliding out from under the single sheet on his bed, Evander smirked as he saw he had once again thrown the comforter into the corner of the room in his slumber. Stretching, Evan slicked his hair back as he scratched at his head before exiting the room, not realizing he had once again forgotten to put clothes on before wandering the tower.

After a stop at the bathroom, the naked demigod made his way to the kitchen, a great hunger rumbling in his stomach as he opened the fridge. Searching inside, he eventually stumbled upon a pomegranate he had placed there and happily cracked it open. Casually walking towards the balcony, Evan walked through the automatic doors as he leaned over the railing and stared over the water as the sun rose from behind the tower.

During his time with the Amazons, Evander had come to appreciate all forms of beauty and the light of a new day on the crystal surface of the Pacific definitely qualified in his books. At least with his fruit and the view, it was almost like being home again.

Robin, Speedy, Wonder Girl, Aqualad and Kid Flash, the founding members of the original Teen Titans stand forever memorialized in stone outside the Titans Tower. Their legacy passed down through generation after generation of young heroes and thus it should come as no surprise that yet another team of Titans has stepped up to fill the hole left by the graduation of the last ones. With the Young Justice team abandoned, the Teen Titans are the premiere and only team of young heroes left. With a constant changing roster, the team has seem many iterations over the years with the title of leadership being passed down from heroes such as the original Robin, Cyborg, Starfire, Beast Boy, Wonder Girl and presently Rose Wilson, the fifth Ravager.

As the current leader of the Teen Titans, Rose Wilson is the last remaining member of her iteration of the team. For the most part, the current team are new to the hero dig, although graduated members occasionally drop by to assist. But with new enemies constantly on the rise and an even greater threat to the Titans looming over them, it's up to Rose to find new Titans to fill the void left by those who have moved on and matured out of the team. But putting together a team of Titans has never been easy and Rose must bring her team together and get them to put their differences aside in order to stand against whatever fate throws against them.

SETTING:

The Titans operate out of a 'T' shaped tower located along the Bay of San Francisco. It was designed by the former Titan, Cyborg, and was built by the San Francisco city council, in exchange for which the Titans are responsible for dealing with the city's supervillains. The outside of the tower features a sculpture commemorating the founders of the Titans, Robin, Kid Flash, Aqualad, Wonder Girl and Speedy.

The tower houses a memorial for fallen Titans. It contains statues of almost all of the dead Titans, including those who had served with the team very briefly.

The following Titans were memorialized:

• Aquagirl
• Dove
• Golden Eagle
• Hawk
• Kole
• Omen
• Terra
• Baby Wildebeest
• Bushido
• Pantha

Titans who had statues but were resurrected through one means or another had their statues removed. Additionally, the tower also houses a hall of mentors which depicts the Titans' various mentors along their students. For example the statue of Batman depicts both Tim Drake as Robin and Dick Grayson as Robin despite the latter now assuming the title of Batman. Likewise Superman's statue depicts him with both Superboy and Supergirl as both have been members of the Titans.

Each Titan is given a personal quarters which can decorated and outfitted as they please. Outside are several gardens that were started by Starfire during her time with the Titans however they've been maintained and often used by those Titans seeking solitude and solace. An advanced virtual reality training room was installed by Bart Allen using his knowledge from the twenty fifth century. On the top floor of the tower is a 'War Room' from which the Titans manage their activities and communications. Ever since Rose has taken leadership of the Titans, she has also used this room to hunt down criminals in an effort to turn the Titans into more of a proactive course. The League has mixed feelings on this course of action believing the Titans would be better off merely training with one another. Aside from this the Tower houses a shared lounge, kitchen and dining room.

A FEW THINGS TO NOTE:

This RP is a spiritual successor to Teen Titans Vol. 3, as such it will be for the most part ignoring the 'New 52'. As such, the current Robin is Damian Wayne, and the current Kid Flash is Bart Allen. Likewise, Batman is currently Dick Grayson and Tim Drake is Red Robin.

Some changes I've made include Connor Kent and and Cassie Sandsmark having retired to start a life together, likewise with Raven and Beast Boy. Solstice went off to college in order to pursue a career in archaeology like her parents leaving only Ravager as the last Titan thus leading to her promotion as leader.

RULES:

1. Players may create an original character or choose to play a returning canon Titan so long as it does not contradict the canon lore. (IE you can't play Dick Grayson as Robin however you could play Damian Wayne as Robin).

2. Characters can be rejected on the basis of their archetypes. For example if the team already has an accepted 'Wonder Girl', 'Superboy' and 'Miss Martian', another heavy hitter would be rejected. Likewise, too many 'Robin' type characters will lead to the same thing. The goal is to have a team reflective of one that would be found in the pages of the DC Series.

3. In line with above rule, do not make your character well rounded, give them weaknesses and flaws. Limitations in their skills and abilities, reasons to make them need a team to support them. Additionally, give your character room to grow and develop. It's always fun to have a new power show up down the line, just give the GM a heads up first so it doesn't look like you're godmodding.

4. It should be noted that backstories are not part of the CS. This is because I want to encourage player interaction in the IC. Players will actually require their characters to talk to each other in order to learn about them. That said, while you are free to discuss the IC and drop hints in the OOC, I ask that you refrain from downright telling us everything about your character.

5. Character sheets will not be accepted until the GMs have had time to look over the CS thoroughly. This not only ensures that we the GMs have time to read through Character Sheets appropriately but also that you the Player are receiving proper critique as well as a solid community to interact with in the In Character Threads. We appreciate your patience with this.

6. All Character Sheets must be submitted to the GMs in the provided or similarly laid out format. Character Sheets which do not use an organized skeleton will be rejected and asked to comply with a standard. Displays of impatience towards acceptance will result in an immediate denial. The GMs have lives outside of roleplaying (unfortunately :P) and may have their time restricted during the week and/or weekend. Have patience and a positive attitude and you will receive a response.

7. You are your character, so act like them. Create or portray their mannerisms, powers, and ideals to how they have been established in the game. BE the character, not just yourself with the character's powers. The notes section of your CS has been provided for such a reason, use it to help yourself remain consistent in character portrayals.

8. Writing expectations for this roleplay are at least a two (2) paragraph minimum per post. Three (3) to five (5) paragraph posts however would be awesome so long as you're not simply chewing the scenery. Proper spelling and grammar is also expected but small mistakes here and there are understandable. Blatant offenses will be called out.

9. You are encouraged to post at least once per week. If there are any outside factors as to why you aren't able to post, please let the GMs know. If you find yourself in a plot with another player and they disappear, do your best to move on without them and quickly finish the arc to the best of your ability, or ask for the help of a GM. If you stop posting for two (2) weeks without a message in the OOC, your character will be listed as 'inactive', and after a further week of inactivity, your characters will be expelled, and dealt with as necessary in the IC, whether killed or used as needed and then discarded. Please if you know you’re going to be absent or simply have lost interest in the RP, just let the GM know.

10. No God-Modding or metagaming. This refers to controlling or manipulating another player's character in way that is completely self-beneficial and not pre-approved by the other player. This also includes being untouchable against NPC characters as well as being all knowing. Keep your character humanized or risk being expelled from the RP.

Heh

DC Universe: Gods Among Us (Always Open)

<Snipped quote by The Grey Warden>
Can't argue with that, looks hot instead of scary, as I have the freedom to say as a single teenaged male.

<Snipped quote by Lord Wraith>
One day we should do a Gotham game focusing on the city as a whole, from vigilantes to actual focus political campaigns, and police work. But, my next characters are not Gothamites. Although a lot of people choose Gothamites over other city people, I can appreciate the company. Nonetheless, my next sheet(s) will not be in Gotham, at least not explicitly.

Byrd seriously did a beastly job writing his Flash.

@Nightrunner

I don't know, I really prefer the original Arkham City costume to the HQ Revenge costume as shown there and to the Arkham Knight tutu look. Maybe it's because I prefer leather to lace though lol

And yeah, I've seen some pretty good Gotham based games, in fact I think Xtreme ran one called 'Gotham City Stories' or something of that nature.

DC Universe: Gods Among Us (Always Open)

It's actually quite surprising we don't have one given the popularity of his show.

DC Universe: Gods Among Us (Always Open)

<Snipped quote by The Grey Warden>

Okay, yeah, sure. She can stay in Gotham. I just feel like there's so much untapped potential in other characters that are unrelated to the Batman mythos. However, Catwoman isn't really Catwoman without Gotham, so go for it. I'm sure your take on her will be great.

@GreenGrenade

Unfortunately this tends to be what happens with DC Universe games, Gotham becomes bloated and over crowded where as perfectly good cities and locales are left ignored. We have no representatives from Central City or Keystone City.

DC Universe: Gods Among Us (Always Open)

Ah I see. The two of you may want to brainstorm up something else though as Blüdhaven lacks the art galleries, museums and jewelry displays that Gotham has. Unless of course Selina is on the run for some reason or another.

Like I said, without content it was baffling to me but if justified it could make sense. Though Gotham really doesn't have that many players, you have Bats, Robin and Babs now that Xtreme has dropped.

DC Universe: Gods Among Us (Always Open)

I almost forgot. I am going to play as Catwoman. So, I would need to talk to @BlackSam3091 about the history between her and Batman. And I need to talk to @Lord Wraith, since Catwoman is going to be Blüdhaven. I want to see if he wants Nightwing to interact with her.

@The Grey Warden

Without seeing your sheet, I must admit the decision to place Catwoman in Blüdhaven is quite baffling given her usual M.O. that said I'd be up for some interaction at some point however it won't be immediately as one I was hoping playing a second stringer in his own city would lead to less interaction to work with my time restraints and two I've got Nightwing quite tied up at the moment.

DC Universe: Gods Among Us (Always Open)

<Snipped quote by GreenGrenade>

I'm currently waiting for other people to do collabs with me. Haha. Since Babs in really home-bound and not all that interesting by herself atm. (Expect that to change)

@Blue Demon

Now I'm expecting Babs to get a Bat Exoskeleton. Either way I will PM you a draft as soon as it's drafted and we can go from there for some collabing.
