Justice League Unlimited vol. 2

Founding Five

Superman - He's the first superhero. The reason it's even called a super-hero. His career seemingly began in the 1970's, however reports indicate he may have been active as far back as WWII. Same basic powers of Superman. He makes everybody in the room wanna stand a little bit taller. A big blue boyscout to this day, he has a line he'll never cross and ALWAYS finds another way. He's pretty much the big gun of the metahuman/alien archetypes. He's only been Clark Kent the last twenty years or so of his life on Earth. He obviously ages slower in the universe than past incarnations. Recently killed fighting the monstrous Doomsday. - Deceased

Batman (mask off) - Same billionaire playboy philanthropist, his career just began in the late 90's and has lasted nearly two decades. He is to the gadgeteers and standard human heroes what Superman is to metas and aliens. The big gun. Basically picture Ben Afleck's Batman here just with more gray hair. It was recently revealed Batman was replaced with a shapeshifting white Martian during the Trident of Atlantis episode. He's guilty of the murder of Ravager as well as sabotaging the Metro Tower, and more recently attacking Polarity Man. - Status Unknown

Green Lantern - Alan Scott is the resident GL, and the ONLY GL in this universe. I'm staying away from the GLC and all the rainbow brigade Corps. His career stretches over the last decade or so and a few years back he absorbed the energies of his magic ring internalizing his power. He's the big gun of the supernatural/magic archetypes. He's also based in Gotham and mostly patrols during the day when Batman isn't being Batman. Green Lantern retired after finding out his reformed enemy turned fiancée Thorn was pregnant with twins. - Retired

Robotman - Cliff Steele was once a racecar driver and adrenaline junkie. He jumped out of planes, served two years in the military, and was even a bouncer on a cruise ship for several months. It was to no surprise to anyone when he finally went too far and crashed an experimental NHRA racing car. His body was near completely destroyed, which is when his friends at STAR Labs Dr. Niles Caulder and Silas Stone put his brain into the body of a machine. Still ever the enthusiast he decided superheroics were in his future and took the alias Robotman [he wasn't very original]. He was a hero of Midway for several years before joining the other founding five in the Justice League. In the battle with Despero his brain was destroyed, thus ending the career of Robotman. - Deceased

Vixen - Mari McCabe was born in Africa and possessed the magical Tantu Totem. This is a magical artifact, supposedly passed down over several generations from mother to daughter, and is the source of her power. Giving her the ability to mimic the attributes of any animal on the planet, Mari used this power to protect her village until moving to the United States and going to college. After graduating Mari was offered a modeling contract with an agency in NYC. Getting lost in the spotlight and fame, she was eventually reminded of the power and responsibility and publicly came out as the hero Vixen. After joining the JL for several years, her life was snuffed out when the behemoth Despero used his immense strength to crush her under the weight of a destroyed skyscraper. - Deceased

The Justice League had been active for several years. Their membership included Superman, Batman, Vixen, Green Lantern (Alan Scott), and Robot Man. Most of them were already in their 40's, Batman was rumored to be in his 50's. The team took down threats such as Brainiac, the rogue General Eiling, Solomon Grundy and an army of the undead, a Thanagarian Cult, and dozens of others. Later in the team’s career, in a battle with the alien tyrant Despero, both Vixen and Robotman were killed in action. Robotman COULD have survived, but the three eyed behemoth crushed his head and destroyed the original brain of Cliff Steele.

One year ago...

The Justice League extended its reach and took in several new heroes to form the Justice League Unlimited. Over the course of the first several weeks the League learned about the existence of a similar group, composed of super criminals, calling themselves the Society and brought together in secret by the devious Lex Luthor Jr. Shortly after the Society made itself known, the Question deduced that the super criminals were after artifacts composed of a mysterious Nth metal. During a mission that saw a group going to the destroyed remains of Atlantis, Ravager was seemingly killed by an unseen attacker and left for dead. Her father, Deathstroke, would later abduct her from JLU headquarters to help her recover on his own terms. Bulleteer would also be attacked in Metropolis and taken out of action after taking trauma to his head after the enemies of the League were informed by Lobo that his helmet was composed of Nth metal. Ambush Bug was killed during an attack on the League's HQ, and the heroic Clayface was torn apart as well.

Over the course of the last year the League would continue to evolve. Superman would be defeated and killed by the monster called Doomsday. Green Lantern retired after finding out his reformed enemy turned fiancée Thorn was pregnant with twins. And Batman has seemingly been replaced by a white Martian with his actual whereabouts unknown.

Present day...

The League still moves forward, even after everything the members have been through, protecting the world from dangers. Team members continue to come and go as they have always done. However, some unknown entity or force has taken it upon themselves to tamper with the very fabric of reality altering the universe itself.

A.I. am Human (Cyborg 009 remake)

<Snipped quote by Omega Man>

I can't remember where you listed what the character's power would be in the first place...

@DrewVonAwesome

I didn't LOL. Basically everyone will have heightened physical attributes and durability, but then everyone will have an additional side power like the Cyborg 009 characters.

To list a couple examples for anybody not just Googling the series, 002/Jet Link has the additional power of super sonic flight. They're all cyborgs but he's the only one who was built for flight. However, 007 is able to shapeshift and can do so in tons of ways including elasticity, sinking into his surroundings, and if he needs to go in the air he simply makes bug or bird wings sprout out of his back. And of course he could look like other people. He was formerly a member of MI6. 005 is a Native American with a larger frame and has greater strength than all of the others. While many of them carry pistols, 004 has guns built into his finger tips as well as other weapons throughout his body like rocket launchers in his knee caps...

A.I. am Human (Cyborg 009 remake)

Noice.

Anybody else? I would need at least 5 players total for sure before I invest more time into this. After I write up an IC post for my other RP I'm gonna clean up the OP in this iCheck, maybe post the micros of the redesign for their suits that I had in mind as well...

I *think* my side power will be limited giant growth. Still though, need more interest before I even come up with a CS model.

A.I. am Human (Cyborg 009 remake)

The year was 1991, and during the month of March just after the release of the second Ninja Turtles film an organization abducted nine individuals. From all across the world, the nine were chosen for a secret experiment to finally dissolute the U.S.S.R. as well as defeat the enigmatic antagonist called the Skull who was helping the Soviets. After the U.S.S.R. fell the nine individuals would be used in an attempt to end the Gulf War before it started. However when the truth about their origins were revealed to be lies they fled in hopes to pick up normal lives again and hide in society once more. They were now somewhat immortal, man fused with machine: Cyborgs. Each possessed a power unique only to themselves and over the course of the next twenty-seven years many of them would band together to stop world threatening enemies. They stayed one step ahead of the world governments since they no longer knew who they could trust.

They were made to be stronger, faster, and more durable than humans. When the internet became a bigger deal in the year 1995 and technology for humanity was on a rise, the nine cyborgs discovered the truth. They were not cyborgs from birth or volunteers in the program that created them, but normal people from across the world abducted by a man in a skull mask. The scientist that augmented them and gave them abilities (Doctor Wells) found out about their ties to the Skull. How he chose the nine people and why is still a mystery.

When the nine cyborgs stopped operating under the U.N. in the Middle East, they tried to hide within society and live the lives that were already taken from them. Some of them had success in becoming somewhat human again, while others found more problems in their respective countries. For nearly three decades the nine would come together, usually just a few at a time, to deal with the most random of occurrences. Giant mecha robots in Japan? They stopped it from becoming a problem. The mutated fifty-foot tall gorilla in New York? Cyborgs 002 as well as 006 took care of that one. The U.N. wouldn’t continue without replacing the cyborgs. A group of elite soldiers were issued mecha suits to put them on par with some of the cyborgs and called the Guardians. They operate out of something like a smaller scale SHIELD heli-carrier and protect the countries affiliated with the U.N. Depending on their orders the Guardians have been known to be both ally and enemy to the cyborgs in the past.

Now the nine cyborgs have been brought together once more despite a number of them living normal lives in society. A cyborg from the future time traveled back to the present, the year 2018, to warn the nine of a new enemy capable of absorbing them and their powers that’s become a real problem in the future overthrowing entire countries. The evil cyborg was called Adam, and he absorbed the cyborg from the future and his power before he could make it back to his time period. How will the nine cyborgs defeat an enemy who can become ten of himself? And who’s the guy claiming to be the new Skull taking credit for making Adam?

---

If this looks similar to the Cyborg 009 concept, it’s because it’s basically my attempt at modernizing it a bit and stepping away from all of the history dating back to the 60’s. The premise is still the same. Nine cyborgs with spiffy suits complete with cool yellow scarves protecting the world from only God knows what. After reading up on a lot of the history of Cyborg 009 I tried coming up with an enemy unlike anything they’d faced. The inspiration for Adam came from the popular Dragonball Z character Cell.

The idea is we will begin with hopefully 9 players. Any dropouts would of course be absorbed by Adam in-game. There’s plenty of ways to go with a character and I hope some of you take the chance and make cyborgs from around the world. I’ve gotta stick with what I know and make mine from the USA, but even in the original series there was a white American as well as a Native American cyborg among the group. I’ll be honest and admit I JUST got into this concept a few days ago, and was lucky enough to find the newest series on Netflix. I highly recommend this series if you’re looking for something a little different. I generally try superhero themed RP’s but I hope to get something else like this that’s a little more sci-fi off the ground. If there’s enough interest I’ll post up a Character Sheet model. It’ll be a bit different than the Sheets I generally make for my superhero RP’s, but that’s just because there’s so much more to these cyborgs.

So, little bit Terminator and a little bit Astro Boy. Who’s with me?

EDIT: If any of the details or dates are confusing I'll clean this iCheck up over the weekend to make everything more clear. I kinda rushed writing this up...
