Figure I'll hold off on posting with Sebastian until I can either collaborate with my teammates or respond to them.
J O N A S L E H R E R:
6:02 PM, Friday Evening | Orlaith Valley Trail and Park
"I won't be playing," Jonas answered with a small smile. "I think we can make the game fair even with uneven teams." Jonas mused as he looked around the group of seven. Obviously any team with Sebastian would be at an unfair advantage. The boy thought he was subtle with his abuse of his abilities, but to a man who had to pick out vampires from a crowd Sebastian may as well have yelled about his abilities from the rooftop. Not to mention the sight granted by his Venari tattoos allowed him to see the abilities of each of the students before him. It was for that reason he wanted to put them in competition with one another. Hopefully the adrenaline would push their abilities to activate. Evander and Aiden had to be on opposing teams, there was nothing to be gained from putting them on the same side, Jonas noted as he spoke again.
"Mr. McKenna, you're on the first team." He turned his head to Evander. "Mr. Dario, you'll be on the second team." Jonas added as he looked between Winter and Brynn. The two both held mental abilities, although they were hardly comparable as Brynn was able to cast illusions while Winter was able to afflict the memories of others. In the end both could be ideal to distracting a target from their goal of the flag, it was just a matter of where to put each of the girl's. Aiden had to be paired with Sebastian, the two needed to get over their petty squabble and therefore Winter could not be put with Aiden.
"Miss Reyes, you'll be joining Aiden on the first team." Jonas stated before turning to Winter. "And Miss Carlyle you'll be joining Evander on the second team." A small chuckle almost escaped his throat as mused how humorous it could be that a girl named Winter had been paired with a boy who could create and control ice. Clearing his throat of the lingering mirth, Jonas eyed up the remaining three members of the class. There was Sebastian, whose fate was already predetermined and then there was Christine and Abelle. The two were going to the second team, keeping Belle with Winter was a safe bet at this point. Christine however was something of a thorn in his side. He wasn't blind to the eyerolls and muttered sarcasm. He knew the girl had no interest in being there, but she was one of them. Another Hyperhuman attending Mather Memorial, one whose abilities would be able to protect her from Aiden's flames and Sebastian's speed. Belle's abilities on the other hand were hand were much harder to predict. He could see how the insects were drawn to her, how she was able to command them. In a forest like this, she was at the height of her potential, Jonas could only hope no one among the group was allergic to bee stings.
"Let's allow the bonding to begin." Jonas said breaking the silence as he leaned back. "Mr. Scott, you'll be on the first team while Miss D'Voire and Miss Wilson will round out the second team." Standing up, Jonas produced a red flag and a blue flag, handing the red flag to Brynn while passing the blue flag to Christine. "These are your flags, now if you'll all follow me." Jonas motioned as he took the group into a small clearing, the pale moon above illuminating the clearing while the trees surrounding the meadow were shaded in darkness. Handing flashlights out to the group, Jonas gave them their instructions.
"Red team, your territory is north of the rock." Jonas stated pointing towards a large rock that stood in the middle of the meadow. "Blue team, your territory is south of the rock." He gestured in the other direction. "You may hide the flags in the forest but no more than a hundred yards in." Pausing he turned to the group. "I trust you all can judge that distance for yourself."
"The game is over when one team captures the flag three times." Jonas said, producing a third flag. "When I wave this flag, the game starts. Discuss strategy among yourselves." Jonas stated and then suddenly the green flag arced through the air.
"Go!"
"Mr. McKenna, you're on the first team." He turned his head to Evander. "Mr. Dario, you'll be on the second team." Jonas added as he looked between Winter and Brynn.

Ah, I see. I'll probably start work on a sheet sometime soon, then. Also, long time no see! Excited to get to roleplay with you again.
Same to you old friend!
I may just join this, if there's any room. May. Just concerned about my ability to portray canon characters.
As long as there's canon characters to portray this will be open. And you don't have to portray them exactly as how they've been written in canon sources so long as the heart of the character is the same. If you look at my sheet, Starfire is known for being almost ditzy and aloof but I won't be writing her like that.
Alright folks, here we go!

I've had this concept of 'Nightwing and Starfire: Hard Travelling Heroes' in my head for quite sometime and I've always wanted to have a chance to flesh it out. The basic synopsis follows the pair through their lives and while I've already discussed with Gowi about him using a younger Starfire, for the most part it'll be me portraying these characters at various points in their lives. Initially though, I'll be focusing on an arc in the present. Once this is completed I'll be able to move out and play the characters through their various life periods, whether this means partnering Robin with Batman or teaming up with other Titans.
To me, Dick Grayson is a born leader and something of a social butterfly, therefore he's a very easy character to collaborate with. Given that this version of Dick is more nomadic, it allows easier collaboration with other players in the same time frames. Starfire on the other hand I see as more of a strong woman, yes there's the canon Tamarean characteristics, but this is not the animated Teen Titans' Starfire who is aloof and naive, this is a hardened Starfire who has endured slavery and abuse before finding friendship on Earth. Yes, she still wears her heart upon her sleeve but she's not just kissing people to assimilate language because it's fun.
By putting these two characters together, I'm hoping to create a Batman/Superman dynamic with key tones of romance as well making it also similar to the Superman/Wonder Woman title. The trick will be creating stories which challenge both Dick and Kory, but I definitely want to draw on the Singular Universe to provide them a variety of foes and not just ones from the DC Universe.

Ω P R E M I S E:
Welcome fans of Marvel, DC and all comics alike. Absolute Comics is a sandbox based RP that seeks to merge and mix the lore of your favourite characters into one living cohesive world. The idea behind this RP is not to embody our favourite heroes and villains to simply retell iconic stories and origins but to take these characters and make them our own. In fact the goal of the RP is for players to take their favourite characters and reimagine them to tell their own stories. We only ask that the 'heart' of the character remains the same. Players will take the roles of their favourite characters and tell stories either alone or in collaboration with other players in order to to develop and grow the world. While there will be an established timeline, these details will be left intentionally vague in order to provide players the ability to decided finer details for themselves.
To differentiate itself from previous 'One Universe' roleplays, Absolute Comics allows for non-linear story telling. This means you can play stories which occur in the past, present or future allowing a single player to have their character's story span multiple years. A Spider-Man player could play out one arc with Peter learning to wall-crawl while another arc could be player with Spider-Man teaming up with the Justice League. This is the flexibility afforded to you as a player in an effort to both keep interest fluent and to allow easier coordination of collaborative arcs without sacrificing independent stories.
Unlike that of a linear progression-themed collaborative story, the goal of a sandbox is to allow you to craft character arcs, NPC casts, and almost assistant GM decisions that don’t contradict the other rules. The style of role-play has been explained previously as an “interactive multi-author fanfiction” and the idea of this sort of concurrent thing is apt. However interaction, much like any role-play, is the bread and butter of the game; we don’t shy away from interactions, world-scale gatherings, and so forth. Our job in this role-play will be to set up events every so often but for the most part the GM Staff will do the same thing as the players in setting up our stories
I thank you for your interest in Absolute Comics and look forward to seeing everyone's stories unfold.

L E G E N D:
◼ 1910's | Reports of an Amazonian woman joining the fight alongside several American soldiers is regarded as a legend. The woman was said to fight with the strength of a demi-god and paved the way for several decisive victories.
◼ 1940's | Using the research of nazi defector, Abraham Erskine, the United States establishes Project Rebirth to combat the increasing influence of Hitler’s pseudo-science division, HYDRA. A young man named Steve Rogers becomes the sole recipient of the project. Dubbed Captain America by the war propaganda, Steve Rogers is heralded as the first true superhuman. Seeing the influence of Captain America on war morale leads to the creation of a team of other enhanced beings (known by the moniker of ‘Meta-Humans’) shortly after the Captain disappears in a battle over the Northern Atlantic. This team is known as the All-Star Squadron and helps repel the Axis Forces ensuring the victory of the Allied Forces that Captain America had worked for.
◼ 1950's | With no war to fight, the All-Star Squadron is disbanded but in its wake a new group formed consisting of both new and old members alike. This group pledged to fit injustices at home and was thus dubbed the Justice Society of America. While publicly the government embraced America's newest protectors, the Strategic Scientific Reserve is resurrected before being re-branded as the Advanced Research Group Uniting Super-Humans.
◼ 1960's | In the midst of the Cold War, a new humanoid race emerges known as the Homo-Superior or to the layman, ‘mutants’. Using the mutant scare as a distraction, the terrorist cell known as H.Y.D.R.A. re-emerges for the first time since the days of Captain America. Following an attack on the United States, the President of the United States is killed. This spurs the formation of a new government agency called the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Divison, or simply S.H.I.E.L.D.
◼ 1970's | After years of conflicts with H.Y.D.R.A., the organization’s end seems nigh when the collaboration between SHIELD and international agencies leads them to the supposed headquarters of their enemy within Southeast Asia on the island of Madripoor. H.Y.D.R.A. is allegedly defeated, although S.H.I.E.L.D.'s victory is a loss for the J.S.A. The public opinion of mutants had been warped, in part, by religious extremists calling themselves the “Purifiers”. They had used their numbers to cause anti-mutant sentiment which ignited a series of civil rights riots. By extension this fear became of all superhumans leading to a mandated disbandment of the Justice Society of America.
◼ 1980's | The gene responsible for the development of mutant powers in certain individuals is isolated and is dubbed the “x-gene”. Further study by the larger scientific community concedes that without a doubt is the cause of displays of power in random youths and adults. An academic by the name of Charles Xavier attempts to mediate but his efforts are ineffective to prevent what would happen in years to come.
◼ 1990's | Charles Xavier founds the Institute for Higher Learning in North Salem, New York. In the following years, the “Fantastic Four” shuttle launch occurs originating in the test site owned by Reed Richards’ Future Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing the smartest minds together for the advancement of science. Due to problems with a quantum accelerator tied into what Susan Storm dubs “The Negative Zone” cosmic radiation erupts and changes them and two others drastically. Elsewhere in the world, Victor von Doom restores the nation of Latveria after procuring weapons and technologies through diplomacy and his own genius intellect following the fall of the Soviet Union.
◼ 2000's | An alien race known only as the Dominators turns their eyes towards Earth attacking in a curb stomp battle that decimated Earth's defenses. In response, A.R.G.U.S. assembled several scouted assets to create a counter force that the media would dub Earth’s Avengers. In the aftermath of the attack, public opinion of superhumans began to turn positive for the first time in nearly thirty years. Believing that public safety should not be soley in the hands of the government, a spiritual successor to the J.S.A. is formed, dubbed the Justice League. Unlike the Avengers whose actions are controlled by A.R.G.U.S., The Justice League acts independent, intervening where necessary. This earns them the hearts of America as the League becomes adored.
◼ 1940's | Using the research of nazi defector, Abraham Erskine, the United States establishes Project Rebirth to combat the increasing influence of Hitler’s pseudo-science division, HYDRA. A young man named Steve Rogers becomes the sole recipient of the project. Dubbed Captain America by the war propaganda, Steve Rogers is heralded as the first true superhuman. Seeing the influence of Captain America on war morale leads to the creation of a team of other enhanced beings (known by the moniker of ‘Meta-Humans’) shortly after the Captain disappears in a battle over the Northern Atlantic. This team is known as the All-Star Squadron and helps repel the Axis Forces ensuring the victory of the Allied Forces that Captain America had worked for.
◼ 1950's | With no war to fight, the All-Star Squadron is disbanded but in its wake a new group formed consisting of both new and old members alike. This group pledged to fit injustices at home and was thus dubbed the Justice Society of America. While publicly the government embraced America's newest protectors, the Strategic Scientific Reserve is resurrected before being re-branded as the Advanced Research Group Uniting Super-Humans.
◼ 1960's | In the midst of the Cold War, a new humanoid race emerges known as the Homo-Superior or to the layman, ‘mutants’. Using the mutant scare as a distraction, the terrorist cell known as H.Y.D.R.A. re-emerges for the first time since the days of Captain America. Following an attack on the United States, the President of the United States is killed. This spurs the formation of a new government agency called the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Divison, or simply S.H.I.E.L.D.
◼ 1970's | After years of conflicts with H.Y.D.R.A., the organization’s end seems nigh when the collaboration between SHIELD and international agencies leads them to the supposed headquarters of their enemy within Southeast Asia on the island of Madripoor. H.Y.D.R.A. is allegedly defeated, although S.H.I.E.L.D.'s victory is a loss for the J.S.A. The public opinion of mutants had been warped, in part, by religious extremists calling themselves the “Purifiers”. They had used their numbers to cause anti-mutant sentiment which ignited a series of civil rights riots. By extension this fear became of all superhumans leading to a mandated disbandment of the Justice Society of America.
◼ 1980's | The gene responsible for the development of mutant powers in certain individuals is isolated and is dubbed the “x-gene”. Further study by the larger scientific community concedes that without a doubt is the cause of displays of power in random youths and adults. An academic by the name of Charles Xavier attempts to mediate but his efforts are ineffective to prevent what would happen in years to come.
◼ 1990's | Charles Xavier founds the Institute for Higher Learning in North Salem, New York. In the following years, the “Fantastic Four” shuttle launch occurs originating in the test site owned by Reed Richards’ Future Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing the smartest minds together for the advancement of science. Due to problems with a quantum accelerator tied into what Susan Storm dubs “The Negative Zone” cosmic radiation erupts and changes them and two others drastically. Elsewhere in the world, Victor von Doom restores the nation of Latveria after procuring weapons and technologies through diplomacy and his own genius intellect following the fall of the Soviet Union.

◼ 2010's | Worried about the Justice League's seemingly continuous growth, A.R.G.U.S. begins the Young Justice Initiative in order to recruit and train young super humans. In response, the Justice League allows their own young heroes to band together under the banner of the 'Titans'. These teenage heroes often find themselves in rivalry with the Young Justice members leading to a rivalry between not only these two teenage teams but also a third party known only as the X-Men.

Preferring not to directly dirty their hands, the Legion often employs other villains to carry out their tasks or to provide misdirection in order to work under the noses of the heroes sworn to stop them. It is believed that the Legion has ten governing members as of 2017. These members are Lex Luthor, Vandal Savage, Queen Beatriz of Bialaya, Loki of Asgard, the Red Skull, Klarion the Witch Boy, Circe, the Mandarin, Ocean Master and Doctor Victor von Doom. Other known associates include the Enchantress, Dormammu, Black Adam, Ra's al Ghul, Doctor Hector Hammond and Doctor Cyber. It is believed that several of the Legion's associates may even currently have alliances with the Lords of Hell, Trigon, Neron and Mephisto.
