Omega Man

The Justice Society

@Omega Man OOO that sounds perfect for me to use! I love it I'm going to start spitballing ideas now and put them in as soon as I get the character sheet. The only thing I'm scared off is every time I take a cannon and try to make it my own it becomes a whole new character. I also haven't read the comics in a long time and I could never get my hands on the ones we'd be using to base some of our chareters.

@FrostWolf

I'm only vaguely familiar with many of the characters. With Infinity Inc I just know the ones tied to Green Lantern really. I couldn't tell you much about Hawkman's son as the Silver Scarab, or Al's change from Nuklon to Atom-Smasher, and the characters like Fury and Northwind I'm completely in the dark LOL. I was a fan of the Hector Hall version of Dr. Fate though during that run of JSA, and I very much enjoyed the Return of Hawkman era and spin-off series. Mostly the Geoff Johns written stuff. He managed to make a lot of characters/concepts relevant again like Hourman II and III, the Thunderbolt pen, Power Girl, Sandy, Liberty Belle, etc. The Freedom Fighters started to make a scene in the early 2000's too by a few familiar creators with a mini series or two as well as a monthly just before the New52 killed it. I'm into a few of the 7 Soldiers characters, and I dig how the Young All-Stars were meant to be analogs to the classic characters like Superman and Batman that were no longer part of the Society. Flying Fox actually showed up in a Heroes for Hire type of DC title with Red Tornado and some other C and D listers....

Name – Farris Knight
Alias – Starman
Age – 34
Powers – futuristic biology w/heightened physical attributes; possesses the Quarvat that’s similar in function to a Cosmic Rod able to manipulate cosmic energy and enhance his strength further; flight; space travel; cosmic awareness
Weaknesses – Separated from his Quarvat, Starman is essentially just a futuristic human
Personality – mysterious, stoic, calculating, stressed, ignorant
Experience – 10 years (in the future)
Appearance/Face Claim –
BRIEF Bio –

A member of the 853rd century team of heroes called the Justice Legion Alpha, Starman was a traitor among his teammates after making a deal with the sentient artificial sun Solaris. After meeting the original Starman in the past, Farris went on to sacrifice himself to take down Solaris in the future at the end of the DC One Million crossover. However at the end of that story, things weren’t quite what they seemed. Rather than dying a hero’s death he was thrown back into the past and landed in the present day. Knowing that the original Starman could vouch for him and get him the help he needed to return to his future, Farris was shocked to discover Ted Knight had died just weeks earlier by mysterious circumstances.

After discovering that some part of Solaris may have been sent into the past as well, Farris went to the members of the most recent Justice Society for guidance and help. He brought a picture from the 1950’s of a superhero clad in yellow calling himself Solaris that isn’t anything he remembers from the superhero history books of the future.

Golden Age Legacy – Starman
Sample Story Arcs –

Solaris Reborn: After the team discovers who the superhero in the picture was, they find his grandchildren and confirm he wasn’t a machine tied to an artificial sun from the future. However, the source of his powers WAS tied to the artificial sun. What happens when the hero’s ‘Sun Belt’ comes alive and tries to fuse with the Quarvat? (Potential Episode)

New Star New Man: After his Quarvat gets damaged, Starman uses unfinished cosmic rod tech of Ted Knight’s to refashion his weapon. (Potential Sub-Plot)

Additional Notes – Most of the recent eras of JSA have revolved around a Star-person, so I went with the most futuristic Starman ever and changed his swan song into a trip to the altered past.

I'm interested in creating an original character but I'm not very familiar with the comics.

Would I still be able to join?

@Lilissen

I just added some wikis in the opening post for anyone needing some inspiration! Originals have to be tied to a golden age legacy to be considered for this, complete originals will be much harder to get in with unless I'm blown away by the Character Sheet.

The Justice Society

<Snipped quote by Omega Man>

I haven't figured that out yet once I get a character sheet I can figure it out I might do something like Wonder Woman but make it more original if that makes any sense.

@FrostWolf

There was a member of Infinity Inc that was the daughter of an amazon and called Fury. Definitely excited to see what you come up with!

Sure.
Might be interested in trying out a severely gimped Doctor Fate.

@Hillan

Dr. Fate is a low key favorite of mine but I like the weirder eras. I liked that super 90's Zero Hour guy and Hawkman's son as Dr. Fate a lot. And it's always cool when Constantine borrows the helmet...

I've got a character I'd like to use that might be fun, mostly because I wanna try using someone of her type. I will say though, she would technically be original.

library-of-ruina.fandom.com/wiki/Binah

This might be fun or not, I don't know. Its why I'm going to try a character of her archtype.

@Archmage MC

Originals are gonna be much harder to get in with, especially if it's not based on Golden Age superhero legacies and concepts. But I welcome the CS!

Itching for a superhero roleplay...

@Divine Darkness

I'll get a CS template up shortly!

Im down for this

@FrostWolf

Any ideas what character you're gonna use?

The Justice Society

During the days of World War II, a group of costumed mystery men gathered together to form the first and greatest superhero team of all time. After years of fighting the good fight many of them retired, others settled down and had children. Some found ways to cheat old age and kept on fighting in their prime. Now, fighting alongside the surviving original members, a new generation of heroes has been born. Promising to uphold the legacy their predecessors created, they inspire other heroes across the world. They are the Justice Society.

The Society didn’t just include a few heroes; multiple TEAMS joined their ranks over the years such as the Freedom Fighters, the All-Stars, members of the Seven Soldiers of Victory, as well as Infinity Inc. The active roster generally included anywhere from one to two dozen heroes.

The Society had been mostly disbanded after the last big crisis. Several of the older guard finally fell to old age, living full lives, having children as well as grandchildren. It was almost like losing a famous athlete or movie star. Ted Knight was one such hero, formerly called Starman. Precogs and telepaths claimed he’d died too early, most just took it as lesser known metahumans looking for attention. However, when his successor from the distant future showed up… it was looking to be the case. Going to surviving members of the last Justice Society for guidance, it was decided that the team would be reformed to help the time displaced hero save the future.

If you’re looking forward to the Black Adam film featuring the JSA, a fan of older superheroes, or possibly the Stargirl tv series... then this is the RP for you!

I’m looking for 6-9 players plus myself, high casual standards, and at least a post a week from everyone. Hoping for a good mix of cannons and reworked cannons, and originals are welcome so long as they’re tied to a member of the JSA or one of it’s absorbed teams. Again, that includes: the Freedom Fighters, the All-Stars, many of the Seven Soldiers of Victory, as well as Infinity Inc. The extended roster of the Justice Society is something to behold. The mystery surrounding Ted Knight’s death and the appearance of the Starman from the future will be just one of several sub-plots in the opening arc that you the players get to help me decide. Sky's the limit when we’re working with this amount of legacy characters and history.

I’m also going to do something a little off-brand for most of my RP’s and allow a secondary character slot to have more additional characters in the background. This won’t be any kind of super fleshed out sidekick, literally just a name and maybe an image with a few minor details about them. Essentially fodder for me to throw at enemies as well as you guys so you can set up scenes and such. Secondary characters MUST be based on canons of the DCU, and they can’t be a character somebody wants for their primary character. So even if I chose somebody like Damage or the Ray… if somebody came in and wanted to use either one of them as their primary I’d give them up. And you don’t have to use a secondary if you don’t want to mine through old characters. It just helps me with choosing NPCs and background characters because frankly I love everything about the golden age. Here's a list of the three mentors/NPC's, as well as a few characters off the table...

NPC’s/Mentors: Mr. Terrific (Holt), Power Girl, Wildcat

Off Limits: the Flash (Garrick), Green Lantern (Scott), Superman, Bat-folk

GM/Me – Starman – Farris Knight

_________________________________

If there’s interest I’ll work up a character sheet skeleton and we can get to work. I’ll likely stick with an episodic format like I’m doing with my other RP (Titans Academy) especially if we get closer to the 10 player total mark. Crossing my fingers for this one cause it’s been a hot minute since I tried anything with these characters. If there's any questions or concerns feel free to shoot me a PM if you don't wanna ask here! Hope to see some familiar faces!

Episode #1: Magnetic Monster

_{Interaction(s): @Blizz - Shattercrash | @Damo021 - Flamebird | @Lord Wraith - Blitzkrieg | @Hillan - Accelerate | @PapaOso - Sacrifice | @PatientBean - Oracle}

Post #1.07: Stand or Die

The power was out. There were emergency lights flashing. People were scared. While Accelerate attended to Cyborg’s remains, he also bolted civilians one at a time outside. Switchblade was upset that he’d been demoted to saving civilians, not realizing what an important aspect it was for the job. He’d helped get two civilians outside to Accelerate’s five or six. And the young speedster is trying to keep Cyborg alive somewhere within STAR Labs as well. That’s when Switchblade came up on Sacrifice. He wasn’t wearing much of a battlesuit… he actually looked like a civilian having a panic attack.

“Hey man just calm down, everything’s gonna be okay. We’re the Titans.” Switchblade stated, not realizing telling someone to calm down was about the worst advice to give to somebody.

That’s when fit hit the shan. As Shattercrash lunged at the airborne antagonist, Dr. Polaris created an electro-magnetic field that repelled the young hero with the same force she struck with sending her through the ceiling of the center ‘hub’ of the laboratories and outside. He didn’t much care if she’d survived. Switchblade and Sacrifice looked on in awe of the wreckage and Flamebird doing what she could with what cover she had to try and tag the madman with a fireball. It didn’t seem to do anything to make Cassidy’s panic attack any better.

True to Oracle's vision, the wall beneath Blitzkrieg started to crumble as the Wolf-Man ascended to the next floor. Unable to propel himself high enough to grab onto the ledge above, he was forced to descend back to the main floor. Link's landing narrowly avoided a mid-air collision with Shattercrash as the other hero was effortlessly deflected by the magnetic madman. Quickly taking in the chaos around him, Lincoln realized they needed to switch up their strategy.

“Flamebird, we need cover fire! Switchblade, get Sacrifice out of here! Accelerate, you're with me, you hit him low,” Blitz cracked his neck before flexing his claws. “I'll hit him high!” He roared before bounding forward.

“All of you against just one of me?! Just… one. Yes…” Polaris screamed fending off all of the advances towards him as he began to rip more of the steel foundation from within the laboratories.

“You have to get through to Emerson!” a scientist still within the building cried out. “He suffers from a personality disorder!” he continued before a female hero could be heard and not seen.

“I’ll try to reach out to him, but you need to get out of here. It’s not safe!” Oracle said coming into view before the man’s eyes.

“A magnetic pulse last week did something to Emerson, he hasn’t been the same. Somebody said his meds were in the trash, now he’s calling himself Polaris…” the man continued before Switchblade could be heard in the distance.

Post #2.06: Arcade Antics II

After knocking one of the duplicates out cold, the beaten Billy dissipated. Alex turned his attention on the one that had come in specifically to beat the sense out of the guy behind the prize counter. Kid was just doing his job, exchanging tickets for prizes... then BAM! After taking a few punches the guy eventually ran off, and at this point Alex had seen the cameras and noticed a 'superhero mask' prize behind the counter and put it on while in the middle of handing this additional Billy his lunch. All the while Arina stood there watching as the other Billy continued to look under everything in the place.

Her movements were barely noticeable, and before the guy knew what was happening, he was met face to face with Arina, under a table - his eyes widening slightly at her still bored expression, "You lose something, Friend?" her voice was soft, as if she were trying to soothe him, and as if she'd never worn the bored expression seconds ago, her face turned warm as she gave him a small and gentle closed eyed smile, "Perhaps we could help you find whatever it is," she offered her tone laced with silk as she opted herself and Alex up for the task, regardless of any protest he might make. That's when Shuriken came running into the arcade.

"Bad... guys... one... guy…" she said out of breath and leaning against a classic video game, "I called for back-up."

"It won't take the others long to make it here with the Boom Tube thing, you two should probably try and hide your identity too..." Shield started grabbing a few more of the domino style masks from behind the wrecked prize counter. He grabbed the last Billy by the collar and asked "You've done enough damage. Tell me what it is you're looking for or I'll send you to the same duplicate hell the others vanished to."

"John Constantine won an enchanted lighter in a supernatural poker game that could summon the demon lord Neron for one favor. He supposedly lost it somewhere here in the mall while passing through Midway…" the kid in the red hoodie said crouched down on the ground with the Titans surrounding him.

Arina’s ice blue irises flickered upwards towards Shield as he handed her a mask, “You didn’t steal this did you?” her lips twitched upwards at her own joke for a moment before she watched him grab the guy, demanding he talk. Her expression turned blank as she listened to the duplicate dude explain his predicament. She didn’t really acknowledge the arrival of other team members, she only shoved the toy Alex had won her into the hands of the red hooded opponent.

Working its way upwards, her body began to take on the form of smoke and just as her face dispersed, leaving no trace of human body behind at all, her voice echoed an ominous sentence, “Summoning demons sounds like a fun afternoon activity.”

---

The sound of a soft thud indicated she had been unable to take her clothes with her this time. She inwardly sighed trying to cast that issue to the back of her mind as she concentrated on expanding herself outwards, so the area was in contact with the smoke. She slightly adjusted the consistency and color so the Titans could see a little easier. Once she was satisfied with the surface area, she began to sift through all the matter she had enveloped herself around, looking out for anything that remotely resembled a lighter.

"I didn't win that for you. Tell the original hooded guy we're coming for him." Shield proclaimed knocking out the Billy and catching the black plush after the red hooded adversary dissipated from the haymaker. Alex turned to Shuriken, "Let's go find the others."

	Back at the Academy Wally was waiting for Chemaxzord and Dragonson to go through the Boom Tube in the back of the building that Origami and Gravitas had already gone though. He understood their positions. Neither of them knew what they were in for. Maybe Chemax, but not at all in any way to help the situation. "There's enough Titans on the scene to take down whatever group of criminals is wrecking the place. I want you two to help me take care of getting any civilians still inside to safety. Any questions?" he asked walking backwards into the Tube in front of the two rookie Titans.	..................................................... ...

Everybody in Episode 1 called the episode 'Magnetic Madness' instead of 'Magnetic Monster.' LOL
