Young Justice Renegades: A Team Worth Dying For

Aiming to do something tomorrow to have Cece respond to Hayden and then move her from the kitchen door into the Lounge she's referenced in other posts. Put her in location for Gabi and Selene.

The real question is, what movie do we watch?

Young Justice Renegades: A Team Worth Dying For

I've been reading intro posts, part II, Jurassic Boogaloo

@Lord Wraith
So you really woke up and decided to write a novel, huh? Glad you did, really enjoyed every word of it. Cece feels very fleshed out already, and the way you've written her feels to me like you tick the box of having a good handle on your character - which can honestly be quite hard for at least a post or two, in my opinion. You've shown her heart really well, and in a way that sort of plays on our expectations - both of influencers and of "popular type" girls as well. Both big ticks from me. I can really see her already as how you intend her to be.

Shout out to this line as well -

For a post with a whole lot of words, those simple sentences say so much. Really keen to see more Cece, she's an interesting character for sure in a cast that seems to already have the entire rainbow of personalities. Wonderful stuff my dude, thank you for this flex.

@Stormflyx

Don't get too excited, I'll probably fumble the ball with my next post.

Honestly, I had a lot of cobwebs to clean out and a lot of rust to shake off. So I really appreciate the kind words. Cece started out a very one-dimensional character but the more I wrote, for her sheet, her relationships and then that post, the more I could see her coming to life and realizing what she could be. I didn't want her to be vapid, but I wanted her to appear that way. I want her to have struggles of identity, doubt, anxiety but I also want to make sure her faith and character shine through and in a genuine way, not in a way that Christians are typically portrayed in popular culture. She's going to face the same sort of struggles that any person of faith deals with, even more so given exactly what she has to deal with in this universe.

But again, thank you so much.

I'm really looking forward to seeing how you develop Eilidh. You've chosen a very unique character for a roleplay such as this. Eilidh doesn't have the flashiest of powers, nor are they overtly offensive. To top that off, you've given her a very real handicap. one that you've portrayed sensitively and as Sep also noted, very well thought out. Your post doesn't read like someone describing objects or their surroundings through sight. Where I described the sunset with colours, you've used descriptors of texture and shape to fill out the world as Eilidh perceives it. You definitely proved in your post that you don't need to write a novel to establish your character and without writing a lot, you've said a lot about Eilidh and her character.

but it's not the same.

@Sep

Upgrades to Cece's legs?

Young Justice Renegades: A Team Worth Dying For

I'd also like to see us face a Speedster, be it Kid Flash, Impulse, a Thawne, Zoom whatever.

Simply cause we don't have one, so I feel like it would be interesting.

Surprised nobody applied as one.

@Sep

Julian just has to use his powers and we basically have one.

I didn't even consider the Titans! I'm very intrigued to see that lineup. The Justice League is easy to guess to an extent, give or take a few members, but there are many wildly different interpretations of the Titans to pick and choose from

@Natty

When not specified, I always default to the cartoon lineup of Robin, Starfire, Cyborg, Raven and Beast Boy. But it'd be cool to have them be made up of Nightwing, Aqualad, Red Arrow, Troia, Starfire, Raven, Cyborg and Beast Boy. Maybe a few others to put them on a more equal footing with us.

Fair point, I was just going with her closest canon counterpart, but yeah that'd be cool too.

I'd definitely like to see us go up against the Titans at some point, probably before the League if that ever happens.

@Sep

Depending on what we want the Universe to look like, it'd be fun to have the Titans situated in Manhattan like they are traditionally and with us on the West Coast, there could be something that happens in a Central State that puts the two teams in competition which escalates to conflict.

CeCe vs Darkseid when.

That said I'd honestly like to see CeCe and Cyborg interact somehow.

@Sep

I really don't see Cece and Cyborg as a fun interaction. I think someone like Cliff Steele would have more of an impact on her.

Young Justice Renegades: A Team Worth Dying For

I miss our banter when everyone was anxious about being accepted or not so I'm going to start some discussion...

Since we're set in the DC Universe, who are you hoping makes an appearance in the RP? Furthermore, who do you want the team to go up against?

And if you're not a huge DC fan, what sort of threats are you hoping we face? Do you have any ideas you'd love to see happen whether as a story arc or even just an interaction between two or more characters?

Personally, I'm always a big fan of seeing any of the DC big names show up and hopefully disprove of our team initially until much later in the RP where they're forced to relent and acknowledge they're proud of us haha. In terms of Antagonists, I don't want to particular retread too much from the show, I'm okay with the Light being the main antagonist, but I'm hoping to see an original spin being put on either their mission or members.

I always love seeing lesser-known villains being used and turned into an A-List threat. So please, don't throw us against the Joker or Metallo, the Court of Owls and League of Assassins are both overdone. But hey, bring back the Council of Spiders or the Republic of Tomorrow. We're in Seattle, so instead of transplanting Gotham villains, we should steal from Green Arrow, Green Lantern and Wonder Woman who have all at one time or another resided on the West Coast.

As I mentioned earlier, I'm enjoying the team dynamic that has been established and I imagine most of my favourite moments will come from that. But I'm hoping that in addition to movie nights and other silly events we also get conflict among the team and maybe even having the team splinter and forced to fight members.

Young Justice Renegades: A Team Worth Dying For

I'm loving how strong the team dynamic is so far in the IC. Fleshing out the relationships in advance has really helped I think, everyone has a pretty good feel for the others' characters.

I mean, I also dropped a tome to help define Cece and then got yelled at by Hillan and Sep
