DC Universe: Anarchy

As the meeting wound to a close, the four men working for hours to handle the logistics of building a prison under a mile of water, Anarchy decided he needed their help with one more thing; "I want to know what you think of my new recruitment video, for playing in stadiums and before movies." Anarchy pushed a button on the remote that sat on his desk, though he was ten feet away, and the TV screen across the room turned on.

As the music started, the screen filled with images of normal people going about their lives, but the images changed to those same people in Phoenix uniforms, then showed them fighting as a team, lead by Captain Boomerang, to take down the Reverse Flash as he tried to run from a bank he had robbed. Best of all, the footage of the battle was real, and was taken from the body cameras of his security officers, new cameras, and cameras in their cars.

The video ended with a splash screen stating "Become a Hero. Join Phoenix Security today." followed by their 800 number and Mark turned the TV off, noticing that Oliver was nodding, and Bruce looked thoughtful.

"Definitely emotionally powerful," said Mr. Queen. "Especially the real footage of a battle. Seven officers with tech taking on an evil superhuman. Should speak to a lot of people."

"Well produced, too." said Mr. Wayne. "Should help your employment problems."

"Yeah," responded Mark, "With all of the supertech and superpowers on the market, superhuman crime is starting to climb again, and my people are working overtime in some places. Then you have the various revolutionary groups that are attacking common people in pursuit of their goals."

"Isn't that what you did?" asked Bruce.

"No, I specifically targeted the government, and gave them a chance to stand down before using the least force I needed to remove them from office. These groups don't care who they hurt, and often don't even offer quarter to POWs."

Wayne shrugged. "What you did emboldened them to overthrow their governments too. You can't expect them to be as civil about it. Nor can you dedicate your people to stopping them, with all of the problems the power vacuum caused."

Mark nodded. "Yeah, I estimate at least another year, maybe two, before things stabilize enough that I can deal with serious problems in other countries." He pushed a button on his desk to buzz Kevin and the assistant walked in. "Kevin, do you mind showing them to the Zeta tube? Mr. Wayne is returning to Gotham, and Mr. Queen has a meeting in Beijing."

"Of course," Kevin responded, and motioned for the others to follow him.

Now that we have several players approved, I'm going to start the IC.

@AzereiahIt's fine, if a bit underpowered. Won't be going up against the heavy hitters, but should be able to handle a bourgeoisie hero like batman.

DC Universe: Anarchy

@AzereiahWhat? no gold?

Well, plenty of use for construction equipment. Lots of things need building.

DC Universe: Anarchy

@AzereiahPhoenix offers the drugs on a need only basis for its employees, but also sales them. Lexcorp is your best bet for cybernetics, as T. O. Morrow is on their payroll.

@AzereiahDoesn't sound like he'll get along too well with an Ancap like Anarchy either (though he totally rationalized away violating the NAP on several occasions).

Maybe we can get an anarcho-transhumanist and throw a party. I'll bring the super power granting drugs!

DC Universe: Anarchy

I should totally have Superman come back as a baby, have Lana Lang and Lois Lane raise him, them accelerate his growth so that he can marry them both in a world where polygamy was allowed. They did it in the Silver age.

Or I could have him meet twin clones of Hitler in a future where bugs rule everything.

Or just have the Joker steal a bunch of pies.

Description:
5'6", black hair, medium build. When he transforms, however, his muscles grow and he grows fangs and claws.

Phobi-ablility:
Gamophobia, Fear of commitment
Can transform into a monstrous form, in which he has:
-Strength: Can tear steel doors off of bank vaults and throw cars.
-Durability: Can keep going even if he gets hit by a car going the speed limit, and while he isn't bullet proof, he can keep going even if shot several times.

-His eyes glow yellow, and let him see in low light conditions, like a cat or deer.
-Regeneration: He can heal from bullet wounds in hours in any form.

Personality:
Normally he's nice to those around him, and willing to help them out. He just doesn't want to get too close to others, because he'll inevitably let them down.
When he transforms he is angry, and has to fight to keep himself from going on a brutal mass-murdering spree. He does, however, have all of his memories from his normal form, so he will still realize who people are, how he feels about them, and realize that he shouldn't hurt them.

Relations:
None, as his parents wouldn't want him back, though he once had a serious Girlfriend, Sophia Lee.

Backstory:
He wasn't the best son. Every time he tried to do something to please his parents, it wasn't enough, and every time he messed up, it was doubly his fault.
Eventually he left home for college. His fourth year he met Sophia, and they fell for each other. Both of them were into computers, and they even started writing a game together. When she started pushing for him to propose, however, he couldn't do it. He knew he would let her down, so he ran.
He was found by the P.H.O.B.I.A. program and went through whatever they had to do to him, hoping that it would help him get over his issues and knowing that she wouldn't find him there.

Theme:
"I'm a monster"

"Won't commit, but should be committed."

Age:
22

Description:
5'8", black hair, medium build. Use of her power makes her glow.

Phobi-ablility:
Claustrophobia: Fear of confined spaces
Can Project circular barriers.
-Personal field: Surrounds herself in a bubble to protect herself and keep things out. Can change the size to include others, but the air is trapped as well, so it may be hard to breathe.

-Projectiles: spherical balls of various sizes that she can control the movement of. May be exploded by expanding them faster than she can control. Have to be created in her palms, and can move whatever is inside it.

Personality:
Once a cheerful, almost bubbly person he always wanted to discover things, she is now unable to move past her emotional turmoil and spends her time brooding and sometimes crying.

Relations:
None, though she once had a serious Boyfriend, Mike Henderson

Backstory:
She grew up an only child of well off parents, always getting what she wanted, except for their love. She tried to do things to make them proud of her, but work or their hobbies took precedent.
In high school she was the Valedictorian, but that didn't impress them, so she learned computer coding on her own and applied for an internship with a prominent business software company. One day, on her way to the floor she worked on, the elevator stopped working and she was stuck in the elevator with ten other people for two hours. While her outgoing personality meant that the shear number of people wasn't a problem, the fact that they barely had any room to move got to her. After that point she stopped using elevators. In fact, any small enclosed space was avoided.
Because her parents had money they were able to pay for her to go to business school and live in a roomy apartment, but she was certain that it was just for their public image.
When she was a junior she met Mike, but when things got serious, she told him she wanted to get married and he disappeared. Certain that she was the reason he left, the reason no one loved her, she shut herself off and stopped going to class. When her failing grades caused her parents to pull her out, she knew she couldn't go home, so she signed up for some experimental program where she could find other people who might actually want to deal with her.
She is now ready to meet the others, doctor's orders, having cut herself off from them during her initial training and stay at the facility.

Theme:
"I don't want "cheering up"."

"Why would someone afraid of enclosed spaces close herself off?"
