Bask in her glory mortals

Donna will have to deal with the fallout in Themyscira in the wake of Diana's disappearance, and of course she'll keep looking for her sister and the big seven through any means possible. She would likely also try to take a leadership position in the Justice League.
Throughout more than 2500 years of life Donna Troy did her best to avoid injury, but despite how skilled a warrior may be, even the best relied on a certain amount of luck. Even for the best, their luck will run out from time to time. And those unlucky times add up when one has been fighting battles for more than two thousand years. Donna had been punched, kicked, choked, stabbed, slashed, trampled, crushed, bitten, smashed, bashed, pierced, pummeled, and crashed into by a variety of enemies with a variety of weapons. She had had limbs broken, ribs fractured, and her shoulder dislocated more times than she could count. And that was just training. If one collected all the blood she had lost over the years they would likely have been able to bathe in it. Donna Troy knew quite a bit about pain. She knew it in all its shapes and sizes. Pain was an old friend that was always there, a loyal companion that could be depended on, a wise mentor that reminded her of her mistakes, a reassuring presence that reminded her that she was still alive. After centuries of dealing with pain, Donna found that if something did not put her down immediately, it could not stop her.

Manchester Black may have been one of the most powerful telekinetics alive. His punch carried a lot of force behind it. But Donna had been getting punches like that long before Manchester Black's ancestors had learned to work iron. Yes it hurt, yes it stung and rocked her head back, and left her feeling disoriented for a few seconds as the punch made them fly head over teakettle across the air as Donna rode the force of the blow. But it also made her smile, because her old friend was there to tell her she was still in the fight. And because the shock of the blow had made Donna reflexively grab the offending wrist, anchoring Black to her. And because their spin through the air was a lot more jarring to Manchester than it was to her. And so as Donna spun, she smiled at pain, shook it's hand, and pushed it to the back of her mind. And then Donna twisted, the quick efficient motion greatly enhanced by her divine blood and adrenaline. If Manchester was lucky, the pain and shock of his wrist snapping so quickly and violently would make him black out. If not.... well he could use the lesson.

Wrapping her elbow around his neck as Troia righted them in mid-air, Troia waited to see if he kept screaming. If he was and was therefore conscious, Donna began to squeeze. If Manchester was smart he'd submit and go to sleep, it'd help the pain. If he didn't Donna would remind him of his snapped wrist. Then Donna would begin tying the telekinetic up with her supernatural lasso, unconscious or not, Donna doubted that Black could do much when he was trussed up with arms and legs wrapped behind him. Centuries of training allowed her to do so quickly and efficiently, securing the supervillain and twisting his wrist ever so slightly again if he continued to resist. Once that was done with, Donna drifted Black down to a secluded corner of the yard and quickly reassessed.

Livewire, King Shark, and Metallo had all entered the chaos. The first two were making good on their escape. Troia could pursue but there were much more pressing concerns. Shrapnel had broken free and was bearing down on Red Arrow and the strange woman. Question was still embattled with Bloodsport. And Metallo had his eyes set on Jon. Troia processed this quickly, her warrior's mind making a snap decision. Livewire and King Shark were dangerous, but pursuing a fleeing supervillain was clearly of lesser importance than a teammate's life. Question seemed about to finish Bloodsport off and seemed to be attempting to help Red Arrow and the woman escape Shrapnel's path. Roy was clever, he could certainly evade for quite a while. The woman also seemed capable, and her safety was not terribly high on Donna's priority list either. In any case, they would all have to fend for themselves for the moment, so would the guards. Metallo was one of the most dangerous active supervillains, he had almost killed Kal'El on multiple occasions. And Jon was not nearly so experienced as his father.

Leaving the hogtied Manchester Black behind, Donna flew across the battlefield to Metallo and Jon's position. She caught the falling Comet on the way and dove low to the ground, shedding speed to gently lay Comet on the ground, as far away from the fighting as was possible before picking up speed again and flying at Metallo's back as he tried to choke Jon. Donna could not be sure how severely the kryptonite would be affecting Jon, but the priority was to get Corben off of her friend. Donna went for a rear naked choke on the cyborg villain, wrapping her legs around his torso as her elbow wrapped around his neck. She flew backward and pushed Jon away with her foot, "Jon! Get out of here!" There was no special weakness that Metallo could exploit but he was powerful on his own. Donna had to try and end it quickly, as she tried to hold the villain in her grasp, Donna quickly removed one hand to try and draw her dagger, aiming to claw out Metallo's kryptonite core.



Donna had been to the Watchtower many times before, but it never ceased to amaze her. A castle among the stars, the mightiest fortress Donna had ever seen, an eighth wonder of the world. Donna had loved to stand at Diana's side and gaze down on their beautiful blue planet, and to look out into the stars as none on Themyscira had before. But without Diana, without Kal-El's smile, without Hal Jordan's easy laughter, without Barry Allen's kind face, even without Batman's silent but steadying presence, the Watchtower felt an empty place. A shadow of its former self without the gods that had walked its halls.

Now the Watchtower was filled with those trying to preserve the League's legacy, the heirs, the second generation, the allies and comrades who had fought alongside the seven for years, as well as many that were simply inspired by their example. Donna knew most of them by name, and many more by reputation. It was good to see familiar faces, or the lack of one, in Question's case. Snapper Carr was a good friend, and Donna knew he must be worrying about the Justice League as much as she did. She decided she had to go to him and comfort him when they had a moment. Donna smiled at the sight of Nightwing and Seraph, she thought of her days in the Teen Titans. Charmed times, to be surrounded by such gallant, charming, and yes attractive men. And she had always loved Static's sense of humor. Even Mark Moonrider was a valiant comrade, they had fought side by side on many occasions against the forces of Apokolips. She had missed them all dearly.

Then the klaxons blared and they were called into action. Two violent riots in Tokyo and on Stryker's Island. Donna saw Nightwing go to Tokyo and knew the situation was well in hand. Besides she was much more familiar with Metropolis, and there would be all kinds of dangerous inmates running amok if Stryker's Island was not pacified. Donna dove into the teleporter to the Island and assessed the situation. Her combat-honed senses quickly took in the battlefield. There was a full-blown riot in progress with the inmates overrunning the guards. On closer inspection Troia saw that many of the assailants were civilians under the thrall of Starro. Troia's teeth gritted at the memory. Starro had been a formidable enemy and had come very close to overthrowing the Justice League, were it not for her team. Well it seemed it was up to them again. She saw what seemed to be Captain Comet in combat with Manchester Black and at first she welcomed the assistance of the mighty hero, but she cursed when she saw that he was enthralled and was trying to do the same to Black.

Question was in combat with Bloodsport, Troia knew that he needed no help. It seemed that Shrapnel was contained by Jon-El and Julian Luthor. It was always good to see Jon but Julian gave her more pause. She misliked Julian's appropriation of the El Crest. He had no right to it. She did not know if Shrapnel would remain contained in the electrical field but even if he wasn't, Jon and Julian were strong enough to deal with him, her sister had defeated him in combat once and she thought three heroes of their strength were overkill. Troia also saw what seemed to be a demonic costumed lunatic rampaging among the rioters. Troia did not recognize her, but she seemed to be on their side. The real threats were Manchester Black and Captain Comet. Comet was a formidable hero, one of the strongest, and it bode ill that he was under Starro's thrall. Red Arrow and Moonrider seemed to be focusing on freeing Comet or knocking him out of the fight, but Manchester needed to be contained as well. He was one of the strongest telekinetics alive, he could not be allowed to become enthralled or to escape.

Troia flew into the air at the battling telekinetics and drew her lasso, she flung the enchanted rope at Black, hoping to lasso the villain and draw him away from Comet and pull him towards her for a chokehold. She needed to separate him from Comet and knock him out of the fight before he could bring his telekinesis to bear against her. She thought a silent prayer as the lasso flew at Black.


@BlackSam3091 Awww yeahhh. The League's back in business.

I'll get started right away.

@FacePunch I'll pencil in Roy as one of Donna's old flames then. Let the innuendo begin!
@BlackSam3091 So... yay, nay?



@BlackSam3091 Yeah good times, good times.

Anyway here's my sheet.

Diana's and by extension Donna's history can be pretty convoluted, so hopefully my attempt at ordering their mythos is satisfactory to you Sam. If anything conflicts with what you think should be canon, I'll change it. I left the period when Steve Trevor came to the Island intentionally vague, but I kinda like the idea of it being World War One. Please tell me what you think of the sheet and if changes should be made. Also sorry that it's a bit longish, I get carried away sometimes.

I thought about putting in past relationships with Nightwing and Red Arrow, but I don't want to step on any toes here. I'll include it if Lord Wraith and FacePunch are cool with it.
Between Donna and Katana, I'd pick the former because I'm such a Wonder Woman fanboy.

But if I did play Damian, I'd make him be a young adult with a lot of influences from the Heretic, get some really entertaining back and forth between him and Nightwing. Maybe if I get a chance at a second character though.

I'll start working on a Donna Troy character sheet
@BlackSam3091 Hell yeah, we're getting the band back together.

My first idea for a character would be Donna Troy, Wonder Woman's sister. I could also play Damian Wayne or Katana.
