BRIEF Bio:

Tye is a Mescalero Apache, born in El Paso Texas. His mother Shelly insisted on living outside of the reservations so Tye was raised like any average American child. He grew up hearing stories of his great grandfather, a stoic Apache Chief, who was described often as a “giant of a man.” In his early 20’s, Tye’s metahuman gene was activated after a car accident with his mother that left her dead.  After flipping their car off road during a thunderstorm, his mother told him that she loved him before speaking in Native American language with her last breaths “Inukchuk”. This blessing is believed to be a part of his power also giving him mystical origins. 

Tye wasn’t sure what to do with himself and was a drifter for years. It wasn’t until seeing Batman and the Native American hero Chief Man of Bats in action in New York City that Tye found purpose. After saving the life of Batman with his giant form, both Bat-themed heroes kept an eye on Tye. 

After saving people from a fire in California without any sort of mask to conceal his identity, Batman made contact and gave Tye one of Nightwing’s old masks. When he asked why, believing he didn’t have anyone close to keep safe, Batman gave him the name and location of his grandfather Holling. 

Potential Storylines: 

Supermen vs the Super Gorillas - Gorilla Grodd and a rogue army of gorilla soldiers from Gorilla City have overrun Central City and the Flash has called for help. Longshadow will be tested when the Golden Gorilla aka Congo Jim/Congorilla is brought in to help Grodd's army. 

Taking Back Gotham - Longshadow among a few others helps with the effort to take control of Gotham back from the imposter Batman... Bane. 

Notes: His S is war paint.

The day that the world lost Superman will be remembered. Two weeks ago, the year 2020 took another turn for the worst when an alien monster called Doomsday fell to Earth. In a rampage across the east coast the behemoth crippled the Justice League and in a final act of heroism Superman gave his life defeating the creature. For days it seemed like everyone wore an armband commemorating the life of Superman, but when the Justice League failed to stop a techno-virus that enslaved half of Coast City… crime rates across the globe increased. That’s when the “Supermen of America” trend started. To honor Superman and his legacy other heroes adopted his symbol. New heroes emerged and crime was back on the decline once again thanks to Superman and his memory. 

Black Lightning recently relocated to Metropolis and has helped other surviving League members [the Flash and Green Arrow] repurpose Metro Tower into Outreach: 1 for the Supermen helping to defend the Man of Steel’s former city. Beast Boy, now in his early 20’s, reopened Titans Tower in Jump City for many young heroes as a sort of Outreach:2. Will it be enough? Can the world go on without the Man of Steel?

Current DCU Landscape:

* Superman’s enemies are still coming out of the woodwork in Metropolis and ‘Lightning and the Supermen will have their hands full. Notable enemies include: Livewire, Parasite, Metallo, Intergang, Cadmus Labs, Riot, Felix Faust, Silver Banshee, Bloodsport, and two others that will remain under wraps for now. One rhymes with Pex Puthor and the other is almost an identical twin of Marvel’s Cable LOL 

* Batman is suffering a broken back, and Bane has taken up his own Bat-cowl and taken control of the Gotham underworld. A group of heroes would be ideal in taking him down, but most are scared of Gotham. The streets are patrolled by venom-jacked thugs in Robin colors. 

* Hank Henshaw [formerly Cyborg Superman] has enslaved half the population of Coast City CA after corrupting and assimilating the technology of Cyborg [Victor Stone] and Green Lantern. Rumors suggest a portion of STAR Labs has several dozen survivors within what the news outlets have dubbed ‘Machine City’. 

* Beast Boy is in a mentor type of role similar to Black Lightning. Cinderblock, Billy Numerous, Jinx, Brother & Sister Blood, Klarion, and other villains are operating in or around Jump City. 

* This universe will take bits and pieces from various places including the CW shows, the DC films, the Young Justice animated series, Superman and Batman comics, as well as the DC animated films.

If anyone else is interested in playing check out the interest check thread for additional details and Character Sheet requirements. Let us know here first! This will be my first RP in quite some time and the only thing I’m giving attention to. A new RP with a few familiar faces would make 2020 suck a good deal less.
