The Unlimited Protocol
Superman was in a coma. After the Martian Manhunter was compromised by an alien parasite he almost single handedly took out the League. Batman was suffering back injuries from the same fight and currently rehabilitating in Gotham. Wonder Woman was dealing with a war in Themyscira after someone made an attempt on the Queen's life. Hawkgirl and the Flash chose to enact the Unlimited Protocol when Green Lantern ventured back out into space to deal with Corps business in another sector. They hoped they would get a few dozen heroes looking to step up to the big leagues, what they got was barely a dozen. Heroes like the Question and Animal Man answered the call as well as the grandson of the original Starman. Will these heroes be enough to save the world against a new cadre of enemies put together by a former friend?

1.) No back-to-back posting. Posting will be restricted to 3-4 posts per player per Episode. Larger storylines will have higher post caps as well as Character-centric Eps.
2.) PAY ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND SET-UPS!!
3.) Make sense. If we can't make heads or tails of your posts they're likely to get skipped over.
4.) Get permission before using another player's character in your posts if it involves changing the scene or making actions. Everybody will take beatings in this game in battle however, so don't get pissed if you get punched or blasted into a wall by the bad guys! Namely me or the Co-GM controlling the badguys...
5.) Problems with the game or players should be sent directly to me or the Co-GM through PM's. I don't want a bunch of bickering in the OOC. And I don't particularly like it when some random argument costs the game players and story potential. So don't be dicks to each other, just send your concerns to us.
6.) Abandoned characters will be used as NPC's or killed off within the context of the story.
7.) “I was waiting for [insert player/character] to make a move” is not how this game is played.

Episode 1 - Tears for Fears
Episode 1 - Tears for Fears
Metro Tower was something to behold. The larger than life tower rested on the edge of Battery Park near the center of Metropolis. It was home to many of the newer members of the League, as several were from all across the United States. The large front lobby acted as a sight-seeing attraction and had a small Superman and Justice League museum as well as a gift shop. It was only open between the hours of ten a.m. to around four p.m. Monday through Thursday depending on if there were any emergencies or evacuations. New members of the League would take turns with security duties since there were only two civilians who worked the lobby. Today it was the female Doctor Mid-Night. Captain Atom and Steel could be seen as they walked past the civilians to the League entrance to the rest of the Tower. The wall just opened up for each member as they placed their hands on a scanner.
The Tower was just so massive. Ten floors with everything from a gym with a pool, a holo-deck for training, a library, crime labs, workshops fully stocked with tools, dorms for the full time members who lived on-site... and a lobby and kitchen of their own. Hawkgirl could be seen flying up and through the opened up center of the first several floors of the Tower. Flash was always in and out as he also protected Central City full time, as well as kept a full-time job. There were several legacy heroes in this new and expanded JL Unlimited. The aforementioned Doctor Mid-Night, Blue Beetle, Starman, and a mysterious hooded version of the Sandman just to name a few. He wore strange gauntlets that dispensed his knock-out gas, and his suit was mostly shades of purple with gold trim. This Sandman had a frightening feel to him and constantly boasted to his enemies that he was their worst nightmare. His mask was pulled up exposing his mouth to drink coffee on the far side of the kitchen in the open area lobby space that also included restrooms, an elevator, and a den with several couches and wall mounted tv's.
"So... another legacy hero, huh? The original Starman was my grandfather, you?" Starman asked removing his helmet and the temporary forehead patch that connected him to his helmet's abilities.
"I didn't know any other Sandman heroes. Read about a criminal once. Wouldn't it be easier to refit your helmet instead of depending on those patches?" the dark hero asked.
"I've been tinkering with some things, actually..." Farris began saying before he noticed something in the air. "You smell something, like maybe somebody vaping?"
"My knockout gas is water vapor, but I'm all out right now... otherwise I'd have thought it was maybe leaking." the mysterious man in purple mentioned before throwing his cup in the trash and walking away from the coffee area.
A more observant eye would've noticed the water vapor coming from several of the vents in the lobby area of the League's HQ. Or the smile under Sandman's mask once he pulled it back down over the rest of his face. Before long heroes in the lobby area started feeling tired, and it was barely eleven thirty a.m. The Guardian and Crimson Fox were both asleep on the couch in front of a tv in the den, and after making a sandwich the current Starman aka Farris Knight didn't feel too good either.
"I feel like I've been roofied..." he thought, before he started seeing things that weren't there. "What... the...?"
Starman fell to the floor. His Quarvat was in it's holster on the back of his waist. His helmet was on the table next to his half eaten sandwich near the fridge. He fought sleep but saw aliens all around him destroying the city and everyone in it in horrific fashion. He could barely move, and his eyes were as wide open as they could be. What was happening in the Metro Tower? And where did this new Sandman run off to?!
