the Shield

^{"I'll take your best shot."}

^{Alexander 'Alex' Mason ♦ May 1st, 2002 ( 20 ) ♦ Straight Male ♦ Neutral Good}

^{Mentor: Cyborg ♦ Status: Full Time ♦ Experience: Six Months}

⦿ P O W E R S:

Alexander has the metahuman power to project force fields made of yellow solar energy. Not unlike a Green Lantern’s constructs, the force fields and shields are based on his willpower and ability to focus. He generally creates a personal shield that some say resembles a police badge. Alex also possesses enhanced strength (around a five ton cap) and uses the extra muscle to super leap from rooftop to rooftop when on patrol.

⦿ W E A K N E S S E S:

Alexander has the same limitations as any average human. His costume can protect him from most small arms fire, but he can still die from bullets or anything that can kill people. Alex has no formal training and is at best decent at hand to hand comabt.

⦿ P E R S O N A L I T Y:

Resourceful, Trustworthy, and Patient

⦿ Brief Bio:

Alexander was your average kind of kid growing up in the Eastside slums of Midway City. When a fire erupted in his parents’ apartment building his metahuman power kicked in and the high school sophomore was able to protect his family from the flames. Three years later he would not be so lucky when his parents were in a car crash that took both of their lives. For several months Alex was aimless and lacking direction. A chance encounter with members of the Justice Society during the grand opening of a Hawkman museum left the young man in awe and he knew what he wanted to do. Rather than continue to hide his metahuman abilities, he used part of the life insurance money he’d received to get a suit made and began patrolling Midway City. In his brief time in the superhero community he hasn’t done much aside from stopping a few purse snatchers and rescuing several people from a burning building. The only time he came across an actual supervillain was when he tried stopping Copperhead from stealing something from STAR Labs. The goon for hire handed him a beating, however the meeting eventually put Alex on Cyborg’s radar.

⦿ N O T E S:

Eventually Alex will meet Jim Harper and the helmet of the Guardian will be passed on to him at some point.

Titans Academy

The world had seen better days. The Justice League was dealing with an international incident and in talks with the UN about the formation of a Justice League Europe. The Teen Titans had just fallen apart and there were several heroes who’d fell in between the cracks of the last big crisis. Two long-time friends who’d seen time with both the Teen Titans and the League decided to get together and do something about the superhero shortage. Maybe the younger heroes had given up. Perhaps the slightly older heroes had fallen on hard times. Wally West (aka the Flash) and Vic Stone (Cyborg) pitched the idea of an academy for younger heroes in need of training to a few billionaire friends. After deciding against the name ‘Justice University’ the pair of heroes and their backers decided on the obvious name… Titans Academy.

Setting up shop in Midway City after a spike in metahuman crime got national media coverage, Cyborg and the Flash took a different approach with their ‘school’. They took in young metahumans between the ages of 16-25, and there were part time and full time members each with a different mentor. The Flash already protected Central and Keystone City, so he’s part time. Cyborg tackled the full timers and relocated to the Midway branch of STAR Labs while his team lived at the academy. It was pitched to the mayor of Midway City as a police academy of sorts for the next generation of superheroes.

Midway City was once the stomping grounds of Hawkman as well as the Doom Patrol. Regular metahuman threats included more savage individuals like Lion-Mane, and there’s talk of Robotman losing his mind and wrecking a local bar. However the boys may get some help in the form of another old friend…

For this RP I’m going to go back to an episodic type of format that worked pretty well with a larger cast in an old Justice League Unlimited RP. Essentially I’m gonna post a few episode summaries to give everyone an idea of what’s going on, split into two teams, and work two ‘missions’ or ‘lessons’ at a time building towards certain plot points. We’ll say every third episode the whole team will come together to face a mutual enemy or have the same lesson assignment (since this IS supposed to be an academy). Everyone will eventually get their time to shine, and there WILL be character centric episodes to further specific plots. So don't worry if you don't get much action every now and again. I’ll post who’s in which episodes as well as other details when the IC goes up. Usually with these kinds of formats I suggest post caps (usually 3 or 4 posts per player per episode) so that trivial interactions don’t become too long winded. I just don’t want a five minute ride on a sky cruiser to turn into a fifteen post conversation about something. Every post should matter. For better interactions between players I’d suggest working on collaborative posts with PM's or in the Discord since it’s generally not cool to use somebody else’s character. You could also leave posts open ended to leave openings for others to come in and pick up where you may have left off. Right now we have nine players, and I’m going to put a cap on recruitment at ten. With a couple players already in contact to fill some spots we’ve really only got room for one additional player. Just depends on the quality of the sheet and if it was made for this RP or just recycled from another game. I’ll post the first few episode summaries below as well as links to our Discord and the Interest Check if any interested parties need additional information.

Ep: 2 – Additional Adversaries – When a young metahuman with the ability to become multiple individuals attempts to rob a department store the Titans get the call…. from one of their own inside the store!

Ep: 3 – The War Room – After there was more collateral damage than expected in and around STAR Labs, the Flash decides to introduce the team to the holographic training area and holo-droids of the War Room.

Titans Academy

Pretty sure my first sexual awakening came at the sight of Al Bundy's daughter. Christina Applegate was and will always be gorgeous.

Titans Academy

@Omega Man

Hey KL, have room for more? I was leaning towards making a sheet for Dragonson from the Justice League of China since the character only appeared in the 2016 New Super-Man series and never got time to shine.

Or if you have any other suggestions, I'm up for anything.

@WXer

Yeah man go ahead and work up a CS! I'm going to cap the recruiting off at 10 players and I think right now we're sitting on 7 approved characters with another player working on a sheet. So just don't take too long LOL

EDIT: ALSO! Fell asleep a bit sooner than expected last night so the OOC will be finished sometime before lunch today. I've also decided to go with the episodic format, so the IC opener might take me till later today to get finished. Thanks to everybody who's joined and showed interest!

Titans Academy

I'm old and don't understand 90% of Discord and I'm still learning new shit on my smart phone I've had now for over a year. I appreciate the help. I actually see new messages on Discord on my phone so if I'm ever afk I can still communicate without looking for a better wifi connection to reload the Guild(this is mostly when I'm working).

I should also go ahead and mention it since there's some new faces, I work long hours Tues-Fri so the most of my RPing will be in the evenings and on weekends. Thank you to everyone who's already been accepted and those still showing interest! Currently working on the OOC and IC!

Titans Academy

Not required, but it's one more way to reach me if needed.

Titans Academy

@Lord Wraith he's shorter than Hugh Jackman at least lol

Titans Academy

<Snipped quote by Omega Man>

That explains why there's no Vampire Diaries/Teen Wolf crossover lol

@Lord Wraith

I mean don't get me wrong. The CW's Superman and the guy that played Arsenal on Arrow were both from Teen Wolf... maybe another actor or two. I personally wanted to see your face claim be the next Wolverine and I think Warner Bros saw that shit too. So they made him Superman LOL

Titans Academy

It's worse than the CW... it was on Mtv LOL

Titans Academy

I'm gonna have the OOC and IC up tomorrow. I've got a babysitter for a few hours and the only other thing I gotta get done is give my dog a bath...
