Justice League Unlimited (Always Open)

I feel mostly the same, DC doesn't handle their properties the best but I'm still a sucker for the mythos they have built up. Yeah, Alter Ego is real name I was just indulging in comic book terminology :P

I'm going to start working on mine too. I'm thinking the Creeper, Vibe, and Crimson Fox. I'm thinking we could start the RP right after the show with the League chasing down the Legion of Doom or on the Watchtower, assembling for another mission. Thoughts?

Mass Effect Kill-Team/Elite Unit

Yeah, we need a fourth to get a minimum team going. Another badass alien would be nice. Or a proper girl :P

Justice League Unlimited (Always Open)

Sandman's silicate powers are pretty unique so it would be cool if he had them. I like your ideas for the three of them very much, It's refreshing to find someone with as much interest in the characters as I do :)

Yeah, I was hoping this would get more steam by now. I'll keep this open just in case but I like the Idea of a 1x1. A rotating cast with three of four characters each is an excellent idea, and I think it'd just be great to play out stories about both powerhouses and more grounded types working together. An overarching Arc like the Cadmus Arc would simply be excellent to play out, I rarely get to fully develop arcs in a roleplay. Plus, It'd be good to practice 1x1s and writing from multiple disparate viewpoints. And we would basically never run out of characters :P

I like the idea so much, I already went and made the roleplay I haven't decided on my own initial set of characters, yet but feel free to post yours.

Justice League Unlimited: Paragons and Pariahs (MrDidact and FiroIV)

This roleplay is a continuation of the stories of the members of the Justice League, based on the long-running DC Animated Universe and its associated properties. This roleplay will explore how the Justice League faces new threats while struggling with their own personal conflicts. This a story of both icons of heroism like Superman and unappreciated outcasts like the Question. This is a story of how these wildly disparate personalities have to come together to do what they were born to do. Save the world. For the choices they make will determine the fate of the Earth and beyond. And only together can they be the heroes that they need to be.

This roleplay will be restricted between myself and FiroIV, using a rotating cast of characters based on those of the DCAU and other related materials from the wider DCU.

Initial Characters

Birthplace: Gotham

Appearance:



Abilities: Enhanced durability, strength, stamina, speed, agility, reflexes, and senses. Possesses a superhuman healing factor, and has the ability to produce a laugh that is physically painful and is capable of shattering glass and eardrums.

Skills: As the Creeper, his unpredictable fighting style coupled with his physical enhancements make him a formidable threat in any melee confrontation. As Jack Ryder, he possesses a keen investigative mind which can carry over to his Creeper persona, albeit with bizarre results.

Equipment: Besides the standard Justice League communicator, the Creeper relies only on his body and any objects at hand including his garish red feather boa.

Personality: As Jack Ryder, he is a level-headed and responsible individual with a no-nonsense attitude and a bedrock code of ethics with a keen eye for details and the natural curiosity of an investigative reporter. As the Creeper, he is an extremely bizarre and unpredictable individual whose psychosis is not easily quantifiable and will engage in all manner of eccentric, over-the-top, and deranged activity. However, unlike the Joker the Creeper possesses a conscience and morality and is a force for good though in his own twisted and nonsensical manner.

Biography: Jack Ryder was the co-anchor of Summer Gleeson's program the "Gotham Insider" and an experienced reporter, often reporting on stories of the Batman's exploits. During his expose on the Clown Prince of Crime, the Joker interrupted his program and dosed Ryder and his entire crew with laughing gas. He was thrown into the same vat of chemicals that the Joker had fallen into.

Joker's gas combined with the chemicals in the vat changed Ryder's skin into a bright yellow and his hair turned green. He developed his enhanced abilities as well as an energetic split personality. This yellow-skinned mutant developed a strange affection for Harley Quinn and wished to exact revenge on the Joker. He eventually partnered with Batman and earned his appellation of Creeper during the case.

Creeper proved invaluable in capturing the Joker and his crew. Batman found a temporary crew to his condition and Creeper reverted back to Ryder. He was provided with antidote skin-patches that would keep him in his normal form and he had but to remove them to become the Creeper. The Creeper became an active vigilante and a feared name among the Gotham Underworld, eventually he was asked by Batman to join the newly expanded Justice League. The Creeper accepted and he now brings Justice to the entire world in his own manic manner, and is possibly the single most eccentric member of the League.

Equipment: He carries no equipment besides the standard Justice League communicator, often relying on his powers and his fists to solve his problems. His costume has no special properties and his shades were chosen for their style.

Personality: Francisco is an easy-going and relaxed soul, and quite fond of bonding with his teammates and having fun. He tries to avoid confrontation, but is willing to fight when the occasion calls for it and does so with gusto. Francisco often takes situations lightly and is quite flippant even when it seems inappropriate, but his jokes are meant to lighten the mood. He possesses youthful energy with a proportional measure of arrogance but is beginning to know better. Above all he is a man full of life and not one to back down from a challenge.

Biography: Francisco was born in Detroit as the elder of two sons. He often had to take care of his brother himself, as his father was in prison and his mother was often away for days at a time on drugged escapades. He tried to protect his brother from their bleakness of their situation and so hid his depression and despair under a facade of witty ambivalence and bravado.

Eventually, he fell in with a gang called the Los Lobos in order to make more money and provide for himself and his brother. He hated the things the gang did to make their money but he reveled in the companionship and sense of belonging. However, one day everything changed when his Metagene was activated and he displayed his sonic vibration powers. Suddenly his gang wanted to use him for increasingly violent jobs, until one day they asked him to take out a rival gang leader and his family.

He refused and left the Lobos, becoming a vigilante and fighting street-level villains and gangsters. After the Thanagarian Invasion, he decided he could do more good by joining the Justice League and he left Detroit and hasn't looked back since, though he still keeps an eye on his brother.

Age: 24

Species: Human (Metahuman)

Birthplace: Paris France

Appearance:



Abilities: Superhuman Speed and Agility as well as Pheromone Control which allows her to influence other people's emotions and is particularly effective on men.

Skills: Vivian is a skilled martial artist utilizing her physical enhancements to their peak. She is also surprisingly adept at managing a team or group, this due to lessons learned by running her company.

Equipment: The fingers of her suit's gloves can extend and retract razor-sharp claws.

Personality: Vivian is a carefree and outgoing person, one who seeks to live her life to the fullest and who is willing to make friends out of almost anyone. She is independent and ambivalent towards danger or the negative consequences of her actions. She does as she pleases when she pleases but in the nicest manner possible and is far from rude. Despite her appearance Vivian is actually quite capable of being responsible and cares deeply for other people, not allowing anyone else to suffer for her actions. And beneath her sunny exterior is a tortured and guilty soul that tries to bury it's darkness under a facade of happiness. Above all she is a driven woman and once set to a goal pursues it with unwavering determination.

Biography: Vivian D'Aramis was born the younger twin to Constance D'Aramis. The twin girls were the daughters of two research scientists for a major European pharmaceutical company. Their mother died when they were children and their father grew distant from them, and the twins became very close looking out for each other and taking care of one another. They grew up in a luxurious lifestyle but lacked the substance and affection of a loving family, the twin's bond was something that could not be broken.

Their mother had died of cancer and their father soon found out that this was because of experiments run by the corporation. The corporation learned of this, and fearing financial and legal ruin, killed their father, their last blood relative. In case of his death, their father had arranged for all his wealth and all he knew of the company's secrets to be passed on to Constance and Vivian. They also learned that their father had implanted them with a top-secret experimental drug, a refined version of the same experimental compound that killed their mother, and that this drug would give them incredible superhuman powers. The Twins swore vengeance on the CEO Maurice Paunteur and his company.

Vivian and Constance used their father's wealth and connections to establish their own rival company, headhunting former employees of their parents's killers. They created the Mantle of the Crimson Fox in an emulation of the American Batman and systematically destroyed the company that ruined their lives, both with vigilante action and legal action brought forth by their company. Eventually their rival was in ruins and was merged into their own, with Maurice and all the executives who had been complicit in the murders thrown in jail. They named their new company Revson.

Vivian and Constance soon realized that both running their company and being a vigilante would be easier if they did not have to split their time between the two. As such they drew straws and faked Constance's death in a car accident, allowing one of the identical twins to be Crimson Fox and the other to run their company as Vivian D'Aramis and the two would trade places periodically. Vivian was the much more enthusiastic of the two at their Vigilante life and the one slower to learn about running a company.

The Le Renarde Rousse or the Crimson Fox, became one of France's most visible and popular vigilantes and they brought both white-collar and organized crime to it's knees in Paris and beyond. However one day, while Constance was patrolling as Crimson Fox she suddenly disappeared. No trace of her was ever found and no investigation was launched into the matter since Constance was already legally dead and nobody knew both of them were the Fox. Vivian was distraught and attacked crime with more ferocity than ever before.

After the Thanagarian Invasion, Vivian joined the reformed League in a bid to have their superior resources locate her missing sister. So far no trace has been found of her, and Vivian has tried her best to move on but the shadow of Constance's disappearance looms over her every day and tortures her as she attempts to be happy and be the Vivian she used to be. So far she has been relatively successful at keeping her depression and despair beneath the surface, but the unanswered questions continue to gnaw at her and sooner or later they will come back to the surface with a fury.

Misc. Information: Possesses a strong but not unattractive French accent. Very comfortable in her sexuality, which can be described as inclusive.

Justice League Unlimited (Always Open)

Those both sound like good ideas, I think the Freedom Fighters might show themselves at some point. Any ideas for a third?

The League - Superhero Sci Fi and Urban Fantasy RP

Everyone is converging on the Fortress so that might be a good spot.

Justice League Unlimited (Always Open)

Since we have so few right now, I think I'm going to raise the character cap to Three.

The League - Superhero Sci Fi and Urban Fantasy RP (Nearly Unlimited Recruitment)

Looks good, accepted.

Justice League Unlimited (Always Open)

The show is the bedrock canon but we can still use continuity from the JLU comics, it's just that anything in the comics that contradicts the show and can't be reconciled is overruled by the show.

The League - Superhero Sci Fi and Urban Fantasy RP (Nearly Unlimited Recruitment)

Lowering his speed to Mach 1 should be fine, and one ton should be very much the upper limit of his strength, I'm thinking he can usually lift a portion of that. All in all, these powers should cost him massive amounts of energy, there's no free lunch. Other than that it should be fine.
