Super Friends Unite!

Might give this a swing again

Super Friends Unite!

Platonic super pals?

I've been away from the RP scene for a while now, but I've had a recent yearning to write again. That said, I'd like to dip my toes back in with something easy and familiar. Superheroes are and always will be a favorite of mine. I'll probably be able to post every other day to a couple times a week, usually. I'm looking for a couple paragraphs to several per post, decent grammar, that kinda thing. Lastly, and this might be the deal breaker for some, but I'm not looking for a romantic plotline. I just want some good ol' platonic super pals. That said, character gender/sexuality doesn't matter to me. I do want someone 18+ to write with, however. Just for my own comfort and sanity.

I don't have much in mind for a plot, other than two superheroes working together to accomplish, well, something. Maybe to defeat a new villain in town? Maybe fight their way up to the head of an evil organization? Alien invasion? If you have any ideas, come on with them!

Last few things! I prefer to post in the forum or PMs, no Discord. There are a few powers I have beef with, mostly time powers and vaguely defined magic. If you're interested, send me a PM and we can get to chatting!

Justice League - The Unlimited Protocol

This a character I may be interested in reviving

Quasar

Name: Quasar
Age: Old but gold
Gender Technically none but he/him works
Sexuality: Asexual

Personality: Despite his predicament of being stuck on Earth until the planet implodes and frees him, Quasar is surprisingly chipper. After all, what's a millenia or two to an immortal being? He'll have those powers back in no time.

While he's here, he's decided that he may as well invest in these funny primates that rule this dump. He adores watching over humans and learning their behaviors. He also enjoys taking up a role as a protector. With his former power, obliterating any who dare cross his path would have been as simple as a meer thought, but now, with his newfound weakness, it's actually a challenge. Isn't that so much fun? Like a jigsaw puzzle, or sudoku, or maybe a word search.

Powers: Once a being of magnificent power, practically a god, Quasar easily vanquished any foe in the vast, empty void of space. But upon his arrival to Earth, he has found that the unique atmosphere significantly reduces his power to a meer shadow of what it would be in the freedom of outer space.

What he's left with is:

-Light manipulation: He can produce and manipulate light. He can create bright balls of light that can stun or even blind enemies. He can curve photons around an object to make it appear invisible. He can make pretty light shows. He can affect color perception. Honestly, most of his powers aren't very useful.

-Laser light: He can produce a small, intense beam of light that acts as a laser. It can reach enough intensity to cut through steel if he focuses hard enough. It's not easy to do, though.

-Invulnerability: This is the big one. As an intangible being of pure energy, he can't die, be poisoned, drowned, hit, irradiated, starved, or any other pathetic human perishable.

-Light speed: He can move at the speed of light. Which is effectively teleportation.

-Intelligence: He's been around for a long time and he's learned a few things. Don't let him talk about physics, it's very boring.

-Freezing: The inside of his intangible form is cold like the void of space. Maybe not quite that cold, but cold enough to freeze water in a few minutes. Walking through him would feel like taking a plunge in an arctic lake.

Weaknesses:
Here we go

-He can't touch things. That's right, the whole "intangible being" thing doesn't have an off switch. That means he can't hit, hold a weapon, throw, kick, or eat a sandwich. He can totally flip you off, though, so there's that.

-His presence screws with electronics within a close radius. So even if he could pick up a phone, he couldn't use it.

-High energy blasts to his form can temporarily scatter his photons and cause disorientation and uselessness until he reforms.

-Now that he's trapped within the Earth's atmosphere, leaving it would be the closest thing to a death sentence he could face. His photons would scatter and no longer be able to hold his shape. He'd still exist and technically be alive, but it would really, really suck.

Appearance: Like if a galaxy took a vaguely human form. He's semi translucent with a dark swirling colors inside his shape, and stars of light that shine through it. His eyes are two solid, glowy orbs that have no pupil. You could totally reach right through him, but it's not recommended because first, rude, and second, the inside of his form is extremely cold.

Other:
He has no idea what pain feels like, but it seems unpleasant.

Coffee seems nice and he'd love to try it some day. That will never happen, though. Very sad.

He doesn't technically need sleep, but he does enjoy doing it.

He's on several government watch lists due to posing a massive security threat to, well, basically everything. Rest assured that someone, somewhere, is building something to destroy him.

History:

Beings like Quasar are not born, but brought into existence by the death of a universe. The energy of that universe's demise breaks through the very fabric of time and space and has to go somewhere. Quasar is the result of that energy. Beings like him are exceptionally rare, and perhaps this is a good thing, because they are extremely powerful in the right conditions.

Quasar was once such a powerful being. He traveled the voids of space, occasionally smiting wrong doers for funsies. But it was never really all that fun; it was too easy. Like a god smooshing an ant. But then, one day, he heard news of a certain planet teaming with life and constant strife. Planets bearing life are rare, and the opportunity to check it out was just too tempting.

It took him a while to find this podunk planet called Earth. It wasn't very impressive by many standards, incredibly flawed, and just right for studying. However, something just right about the planet's atmosphere didn't agree with his physical makeup. It drew him in, pulling him down and ultimately disrupting his form until his photons scattered.

It took a while to pull himself together again. Quasar found himself trapped within the planet's atmosphere, unable to escape lest he risk an undesirable fate. He would be stuck here until this galaxy's sun went supernova and destroyed everything. At least that gave him plenty of time to take a look around, maybe find a new purpose. And he did. Suddenly, fighting bad guys was actually a challenge.

Is this still alive? I may join if so 👀

Ghost was grateful for the brief reprieve that Raven's arrival brought. He took on a crouched position, trying his best to shake the feeling of death that still lingered in him. He wasn't alotted more than a few seconds, however, as one of the more formidable beasts had survived the attack. This creature, with leathery black skin and dagger sharp claws, shot towards them. Ghost saw it coming at Raven from behind and acted before he could think.

"Look out!"

He dodged between them and conjured up a shadow to shield them both. For a second, he thought he had made it in time. The realization hit him that he was now looking up at the ceiling and had pain blossoming from his chest. He lifted his head to meet the hateful eyes of the beast, it's claws sunked into his flesh. Well, there he went again.

~Teen Titans~ LET'S GO!

Very cute, although I did imagine something bigger. Maybe they come in different shapes and sizes, though?

~Teen Titans~ LET'S GO!

Death was a strange thing to grow accustomed to. But yet, as the young man pealed himself off the floor, his cracked skull miraculously healed, he was no more shaken. It wasn't like falling asleep and waking up. It was cold and draining. Right now, it felt as though he had just swam upstream in an icy river. Still, Ghost came back to fight.

This was probably the worst place to have landed. He was standing square in the middle of the army of creatures, all of whom looked eager to put him back down. He could hold them off for a little, but the team had better get here fast.

He conjured up tendrils of inky black shadow and pushed back the first line of attackers. He wrapped the arms around the creatures, tossing them, shoving them aside, holding them off. But whatever these things were, they were strong. Throwing them into walls and into the ground didn't seem to have much effect.

Still weakened from his latest death, Ghost was losing ground fast.

~Teen Titans~ LET'S GO!

I'll just go ahead and state that I have no intentions of joining a discord, so if anything important is discussed there, please relay it here as well. I've have to leave RPs due to this.

~Teen Titans~ LET'S GO!

For the record, Alrick did not think Soleil tagging along was a good idea. The opportunity for further time shenanigans was way too high. What if she went out there, got hurt, and that lead to catastrophic consequences for the furture? She needed to get back into her own time period ASAP!

But then again, he hardly had time to argue his point with the others around. If he went and blabbed about time travel crap now, it would only serve to distract from Ghost being in danger. Could he actually be in danger if he was immortal? Alrick pushed that thought aside. Just because he can die and come back an apparently infinite number of times doesn't mean he should have to, he reminded himself.

"Right, on it," Alrick said as he headed back towards the elevator. Finding the meeting room wasn't an issue. Alrick had most of the tower memorized by now. He found himself a chair and sat, trying his best to pay attention while also silently worrying about timeline nonsense.

I thought I replied, but I also have been busy the last few days with it being a holiday here in the states and all.

Call to action is great lol. I hope you didn't feel like I was ignoring you.

Bumping to bring it back to the top, because this thread is getting buried lol

@nymian

It's all good. I'm just kinda waiting to see if anyone else has any input
