Teen Titans/Young Justice Rebirth

[Vaulera]

Hello fellow folks of Elliquiy, and presumedly fans of D.C. or Teen Titans! As you may have surmised from the subject of this entry, I am looking to put together a roleplay about the Teen Titans, or just the Titans! This would not be the first roleplay involving superheroes I have done, nor even one about the Titans. The content of the roleplay, although predictable, is variable, depending on which members of the titans are involved. The plan is to have six heroes (myself included) playing as a member of the crime-fighting organization a few years after the small comic series "GO!" was set. My inspiration for this roleplay came from a few different places. Primarily, however, was the launch of the new D.C. game injustice, including a number of the titans themselves, which made me re-watch the cartoon itself (however cheesy and awful!) Though I do have plans regarding the actual plot itself, I would want a co-GM before actually executing anything. For those of you wondering about choice of characters in the roleplay, I don't want to limit it, but I unless you have a brilliant Original Character, an existing one would be preferred. Though I imagine the selection of characters for the people in particular would be limited to the more popular ones, such as Titans east, Kid Flash and of course the original five, if you send or post a request to me detailing a more obscure character, I would be happy to oblige! Now, as it were, I would like an even gender balance, so I will be looking for 2 female character roles and 3 male character roles, regardless of gender actually playing the character. The reason for only seeking 2 is because I include myself among the players as most GMs, playing Jinx (unless change is necessary). For specifics in content, I would imagine that it would remain on the lighter side of things, but just to be very incase, I would put it as NC, so that if a pairing or whatever wants to get more intense that it wouldn't upset anyone. For any questions, comments or concerns, PM me or post here, and if you're looking to involve yourself as a player, please don't hesitate to post here as the gender role you would like (along with the character, if you have already decided or not, up to you). I won't make any guarantees about the spot until I have created a character template or I know you and have roleplayed with you personally! With all of this said, it's been a while since I've GMed a game, so if i've goofed something, then please do inform me via PM! Thank you, and good day.

Question: would Dick be Robin, or Nightwing in this series?

[Vaulera]

Depending on preference I suppose. With the number of parallel, alternate or elsewhere universes, it could be either.

[apygoos]

well the question really just becomes how old are they? I have no problem with playing Robin, but Nightwing is my fanboy softspot. if theyre ~ 18ish Robin could very easily become Nightwing in this universe we create. hell that could even be a plot device.

[Vaulera]

Yeah, seeing as the GO! comic was around 15/16, I think 18/19 is quite a likely age for them to be at. The actual content of the roleplay would be a mixture of their teenage antics in the tower, around the town and fighting villainy. Were there to be a main villain, it would likely be deathstroke or some other minor villainous organisation, like titans east (later on).

[apygoos]

either way i think you can safely mark me as intersted for "Dick Grayson". Id be happy to help the RP in any way i can.

[Vaulera]

Yeah, for sure! I think i've done a number of roleplays with you before Apygoos.

[Mysterica]

While I must admit my lack of knowledge of the DC universe, I would be quite interested in taking on the role of Raven if it is acceptable.  I have always had quite the soft spot for Raven since first I began to watch the TV show.  I am going to read up on the original comic within the next week or so so I can get to know the real raven, so I can play either version, or of course my own interpretation of her which may wind up being a little bit of a combination of the two.

[Vaulera]

Okay! I would love to have Raven in, as she is one of my favourites as well. The thing about her is, her whole three stages of life thing is awfully complex when trying to figure out just how to include her destiny, etc. but for the sake of simplicity while keeping it canonical, we will say she is in the second stage (i.e. free from her father's influence.) This doesn't have to affect her appearance, but if you want to have her wearing a white cloak, it's still fine.

[Vaulera]

Okey dokey, so after thinking on it a while, I've come to the conclusion that I really would like some of these character roles to be filled by applicants! (Ones already applied don't matter, they're already included, etc.) These aren't necessary, but would fill the whole "Teen Titan" role so much better than perhaps some OC or other canon characters, such as converted villains.

Beastboy
Cyborg
Aqualad
Kid Flash
Terra
Starfire
Argent

[PhantomPistoleer]

What about Superboy?

[Vaulera]

I would be willing to have superboy in the rp, with a couple adjustments, nothing too major.

[Mysterica]

Fair warning, I am just now starting to read the comics for this game, so it will take some time to catch up to Raven being where you said.  If someone would just give me a good idea of where to start at I will be on it.

[PhantomPistoleer]

What would the adjustments be?

[Vaulera]

Perhaps slightly less powerful, just to keep things relatively even. I'm not opposed to the idea of him being able to kinesis things that are super, duper heavy or large, but the durability and hyper-resistance needs to be toned down. Not to regular human levels, but so that if he gets a sneak attack stab in the back from someone's powers, he wouldn't brush it off super-style. By the way, Mysterica, you don't need to know all of what she has done, but you need to know her powers, personality and a bit of her history, so that what I said about the three stages of life makes sense to you.

[Mysterica]

Well in that case do you think you could pm me what I should know when you have time to do so keeping in mind that my only real knowledge of her comes from the cartoon network show?

[El Maligno]

Hello I was wondering if Aqualad has been taken up. I am interested in this teen titan role play. I know a bit about the Titans and the D.C Universe more than a bit i guess but let me know what you need from me.

[Vaulera]

No, he certainly hasn't! I don't plan on making this too serious, but it all depends on the dynamic of the players, as group roleplays always do. So, that's our second male slot, if i'm correct. Just two more slots left, one male, one female. I will definitely shoot you a message Mysterica, we can go over what you might need!

[El Maligno]

Great then I will gladly play him though I may tweak him a bit maybe make him a bit like the one in the teen titans cartoon series and a bit of the young justice Aqualad. Either way if it is ok I would like to mix them a little to create an Aqualad that is a bit both. I sent Mysterica a little about Raven not too much and its just from the internet I wanted Raven to be her own so I didn't overwhelm her with too much I hope.

[Vaulera]

Okay, yes, I actually prefer the appearances of Raven and Aqualad in the cartoon series, very well done. The long black hair contrasts very well with Aquaman's short blonde. Feel free to play with the appearances as you like. For example, I'm playing Jinx, so I will almost certainly be using the cartoon version, the comic book version looking just plain weird (Bald trinidadian woman with tattoos). By the way, I'm now just going to start locking down character roles, I didn't gather huge waves of interest, so i'm going to start making promises in the form of a list.

Male Roles:
Dick Grayson (Nightwing or Robin): apygoos
Aqualad: El Maligno
(Free)

Female Roles:
Jinx: Vaulera
Raven: Mysterica
(Free)

[El Maligno]

Yes i was thinking an older version of Aqualad from the cartoon series same suit maybe but I was going to add the tattoos that run across his back and along his arms and glow a bright blue when using his powers (from the young justice one) just whenever he doesn't have his suit on or maybe it even shines through his suit maybe keep the stealth tech thing and the water bearers. In fact he will be the Aqualad from the cartoon series with a few details from the aqualad in young justice. I like that Aqualad from the cartoon series is competitive, especially with Beast Boy, and is confident that he can accomplish whatever he sets his mind to. And he doesn't seem to notice his good look maybe even have him become rivals if someone chooses beast boy, especially if Aqualad is hoping to win Raven's heart i think that could make things interesting.

That is if Mysterica does not mind since Raven is her character.

Also one question Aqualad had superhuman level Strength, Endurance, Durability, Agility, Reflexes, and Senses
even on dry land though he is at his strongest underwater. I am assuming that when we RP I tone it down enough like Superboy would? Though I know he is not as strong as Superboy when Aqualad gets older he can do stuff like lift things that weigh 8 tons and that is on dry land its kinda crazy.

[Vaulera]

Again, appearances, etc. I will leave to you, so long as they end up strongly resembling an iteration of their selves from some point. Now, when you're talking about superhuman attributes like that and how it may not be fair or balanced, we must keep in mind that the D.C. universe does not run on science. The fighting part, whether saving or in combat, would centre around other meta-humans. So, it becomes at what point do things get silly. I think that for the sake of this roleplay, moving a truck with full exertion wouldn't be unreasonable, especially considering that Aqualad's powers would pertain much more heavily to actually being in the water. That being said, if strength, endurance and agility is the focus of your character's powers, it should have a greater bearing upon ability. Even in the cartoons, where the younger and weaker titans were working, they would tear up entire blocks, send 16-tonne trucks spiralling into the air and generally wrecking things. So to summarize, we will do it in true D.C. fashion: As strong or weak as the plot needs you to be. I trust your discretion. If I see something like Aqualad flexing so hard it upsets the tilt of the earth, I'm going to be upset and I would hope understandably so, but the beauty of forum posts is that I just send you a message and we change it.

[Mysterica]

Well, while I personally am only interested in the ladies, 1). While playing Raven I will need to keep emotions suppressed anyways,  so I have no problem there and 2). So long as you aren't planning on having any sexy times in game with my Raven I have no problem plying the part of a straight girl, or at least one who seems to care little about the sex of others.

[PhantomPistoleer]

Now I want to be Cyborg.

[Daoine Sidhe]

I am interested.  Wish do you want more: Terra or Starfire?

[apygoos]

*throws vote towards starfire*

[Vaulera]

Yeah, personally I like starfire more. And cyborg would be an awesome addition as well! Especially considering his dynamic is already solidified with all of the characters already posted. Although it brings a tear to my eye plot-wise to see Raven a non-hetero sexual (for canonical reasons), I'm all good with that, though I would lean far more towards heterosexual encounters with Jinx. You certainly don't have to engage in such activities at all, if you don't want to, but I wouldn't be opposed to indulging a little bit.

[Mysterica]

Well I'm certainly not against playing her heterosexual, but I'm not planning to go out looking for sex with her either.

[Vaulera]

If you don't like playing heterosexual, then don't play heterosexual. I can play both sexualities, so I suppose I could bend both ways in the rp. Either way, it's going to harm more than just your own enjoyment if you try and force a sexual preference.

[El Maligno]

Na no worries there though Raven is pretty hot lol But there are three other ladies in the rp and that is more than enough. I like the idea of having starfire in the rp as well as cyborg. I this will turn out to be a pretty awesome thread.

[Vaulera]

I think when the two confirm for Cyborg and Starfire/Terra that will conclude the interest gathering and I will make a template for characters.

[PhantomPistoleer]

All right.  I will definitely play as Cyborg. :o

[Vaulera]

Okay! Awesome, all of the male slots are officially filled! I love the character selections actually, very good.

[Mysterica]

This is indeed looking out to be a good game I think.  By the way I would tend to agree on Starfire over Terra.

[Vaulera]

Last female slot is open again! If you want it, please just confirm!

[Daoine Sidhe]

So... where is the character template?  I must have overlooked it somewhere...  I'll go a-hunting for it again.  Starfire it is.  :-)

I... think I can handle her...  Any particular place in her story you want me to start with her?

[apygoos]

we should start talking "first chapter" so to say. Whatever we decide on will be crucial in deciding if i go straight Nightwing, or start as Robin and perhaps through this story telling, let him become Nightwing.

[Vaulera]

I was just waiting for your confirmation, here is the list of characters and the template. Honestly, I omitted some things in the template that I would ordinarily put in there, but seeing as we know the heroes/characters themselves it wasn't necessary.

Starfire- Sidhe
Jinx- Vaulera
Raven- Mysterica
Cyborg- Pistoleer
Aqualad- Maligno
Robin/Nightwing- Apygoos

Template:

Name:
Age:
Appearance: (Feel free to put in a description, but pictures would be preferable either by themselves or alongside it)
Powers: (Okay, so in here, just put in the supernatural/metahuman aspects, for people or just Robin, you don't need to put anything here, just delete it)
Skills/ Abilities: (For this one, strictly non-superhuman abilities, so things like acrobatics, computers, sciences, etc. for the sake of accuracy, Robin's is going to be pretty full up here)
Personality/ Character traits: (Since I usually hate the whole rambling on and on about different things like, she's nice, she's joyful, she's angry, put some of your character's more notable traits down in a list format and explain a little bit. This shouldn't be a very long segment, just two or three traits, maybe more)
History: (In here goes your superheroey deeds and past, don't copy paste from a wiki, just take the whole info thing and summarize, including times with the previous iterations of the titans. Note: Super important to mention what your character's connection to the other Titans in the rp is! For those who haven't met too much, don't go into much detail, just what your character might know.)

Personally, I think this is a bit barebones, but it should serve our purpose, I want interaction between the heroes to be the focus of this roleplay, whether or not they are fighting or just in the tower. I agree Apygoos, a starting point would be good to establish. The general plot or reason they are united is because there has been a rapid and massive spike in crime, but the reason is unknown, and the criminals are getting bolder, caring less and less about the police and colateral damage. I think that it would be appropriate if Robin/Nightwing was the catalyst for the whole thing. If this is alright with Apygoos, I would like Robin/Nightwing to be struggling to keep the whole city's crime suppressed, when he responds to a crisis. The metahuman prison was attacked, and several men dressed completely and wearing masks decimated the guards and open the cells. He arrives too late, to find the guards and police in a sorry state, the cells blown open and the only trace of the strange strike team a single drop of blood on a dropped gun of staggering technological advancement.

Also, for Robin and Starfire, please decide if you want to continue the relationship during the story, because it'll be strange if we don't resolve that beforehand.

[apygoos]

I'm open to working out what the current state of the Dick x Kori relationship is
Im fine with that happening, If no one minds, in that case, once we get going it could be a rather large first post. I will be using Batman in said post, and in a later post, Dick will be meeting with Superman. as long as those things are okay with everyone, i have a clear idea. In that start, he would start as Robin, but relatively early on in the RP he would become Nightwing, and progress the Titans from "Teen Titans" to simply "The Titans". that sound like a plan to everyone?

[Vaulera]

Okay, please tell me through PM what you intend to actually do with Batman and Superman. Considering exactly what the relationship would mean, it would leave Jinx the only bisexual female. I'm not necessarily opposed to that, however.

[Mysterica]

Um...  I'm not averse to the concept, though I am still fairly unfamiliar with the true accounting of things.  I have seen the Cartoon Network show, but as for the comic I am only now reaching the Titans' second encounter with the Fearsome Five.

[apygoos]

from the way its sounding, this will be our own rendition of the Titans, so I'm almost willing to say most anything in the DC universe is fair game.

[El Maligno]

I agree with apygoos. We don't have to have EVERY single detail down to what they love to eat. We are just doing this for fun and using everything in the DC universe as a guideline. We are already changing a few things anyways so I'm sure what ever knowledge you do have is more than enough for what we have in mind and if not we have each other to bring us up to speed.

[apygoos]

in short, make it your version of the character, if its too much of a change from what is commonly accepted of the character, and people have a problem with it, im sure youll hear quick, as this is a pretty small group.

[Vaulera]

Look, I don't intend to follow exact canon, because let's all be really honest, the plot that D.C. has is goofy as all hell. There are like sixteen different major stories that all involve parallel dimensions, warping what has happened. There is an "Earth-Two" for gods sake! There was the entire Elseworld series! Feel free to play with the little details, but I want their raw, important stories and relationships to remain the same. As in, I am playing Jinx, and no matter how I spin it, no one will trust her at first.

[Daoine Sidhe]

Name: Koriand'r, "Kori Anders" Age: 19 Powers: Superhuman strength, stamina, endurance, & durability; flight capable; energy projection (concussions blasts, bursts, optic energy beams); resistance to radiation; textile-based linguistic comprehension. Skills/Abilities: Exceptional hand-to-hand combat, natural talent for assimilating information. Character Traits Energetic Loyal Inquisitive Can be competitive Values friendship Admires strength & leadership Governed by emotions History: Kori is not from Earth.  She was born on a distant planet called Tamaran.  Kori was heir to the throne of Tamaran, until her sister - Kormad'r - betrayed the Tamarians by giving their secrets to their enemies.  Tamaran was conquered, and Kori spent several years as her sister's slave.  During her enslavement, she was subjected to a number of atrocities - including being used by others.  At one point, Kori killed one of her captors, and was subsequently sentenced to death.  Before her sentence could be carried out, both Kori and her sister were captured by an alien race called the Psions, and subjected to experimentation.  These experiments resulted in the majority of Kori's abilities - which are shared by her sister.  Despite escpaing the Psions and rescuing Kormad'r, Kori was again sentenced to death by her sister's hand.  She managed to escape, however, and flee to Earth.  The first human she met was Richard "Dick" Grayson - aka Robin.  Eventually, she became a member of the Teen Titans, and has since developed a relationship with Dick.

Appearance:

[apygoos]

Young Justice- Robin Therapy
some insight  into one of the driving forces of Robin turning into Nightwing. I felt this was a fantastic iteration of Dick, and am rather sad that they cancelled Young Justice :(

[El Maligno]

Name: Aqualad or his real name (Kaldur'ahm)
Age: 23
Appearance:












My Aqualad will look more like the first two pictures but he will have a slightly bigger build. Meaning a bit more muscle I will keep his body slim but strong like a runner's or rather a swimmer's. He will have the water bearers from the next two pictures and overall his face will just look older not really sure how to describe it but he will not be a kid or have a baby face. Clothing will be the same He will have eel tattoos that will be visible when he uses Atlantean sorcery (they will glow dark blue through his swim suit) or when he is not wearing his swimsuit or a shirt. When not in use they are just normal black eel tattoos on his arms.

Powers: Hydrokinesis
Aquapathy
Superhuman strength
High durability
Superhuman swimming
Water transformation
Underwater breathing & pressure resistance
Temperature resistance (Cold and freezing)
Toxin resistance (Sea creatures and only partial at that)
Wields Atlantean Water Bearers
Electricity Generation
Hard-Water Constructs

Skills/ Abilities: Has under gone a full year of Atlantean military training, meaning he is a skilled Strategist and an expert hand-to-hand combatant. Ability to raise moral and is a great analyst. Is a jack-of-all trades can fix basic home problems in the tower.

Personality/ Character traits: noble-hearted, confident, competitive, fiercely loyal, calm and level-headed


History: Raised in the Atlantean city of Shayeris Aqualad was originally the partner of Aquaman who was a father figure as well as teacher and king all rolled into one. After helping Aquaman defeat Ocean Master he accepted Aquaman's offer to become his protegee. He met the original titans when they were much younger and starstruck both Raven and Starfire with his natural good looks. Despite a few brief encounters as well as 'Offically" joining the team. He did not have as many encounters with the original teen titans for quite some time until, after expecting to become part of The Justice League and being denied as well as others he became good friends with Robin/Nightwing. Aqualad see's Robin's natural ability to be a leader and has great respect for his friend. They had been in many difficult and dangerous missions even liberating superboy from a lab. They have each others backs no matter what even standing up to their masters defending their choices despite the disapproval of others. Aqualad is like the older brother of Robin/Nightwing often he keeps him in check to keep his friend from being too impulsive and rash. They work well together and this will ease his entrance into the Titans as he has had a much improved relationship with Robin/Nightwing.

[Vaulera]

Ah, for Starfire you didn't terribly follow my instructions, but it should be fine with a little modification. Just change it so that it is in a list of character traits or things that make up her personality. Other than that, I think that it's fine.

[Daoine Sidhe]

I'm sorry.  I didn't know you wanted an actual list rather than sentences.  Correcting.  Corrected.

[Vaulera]

Excellent, thank you. I am having a crisis however. I just re-watched young just now and I looove Artemis! I don't know whether I should use Jinx, or Artemis. Any opinions?

[El Maligno]

I thnk having a bad girl would be sexy and different it would be interesting to have her have to work at gaining the other titans trust. But Artemis is a great addition to the team it would be easier to trust her since she has not been a villain. I vote for Jinx because I think it would make for a better story. Besides everyone likes a bad girl.  ;D

[Daoine Sidhe]

Hm.  Either/or.  The story could be easily tweaked to fit whomever you choose.

Question: what category will this RP be under?  (Light, Bondage, etc.)  A rereading of the first post told me what I suspected - that I'd already read the answer and forgotten it.  NC.

That begs the new question.  What sorts of "NC" will be permitted?  And, do any of the players or the GM plan on engaging in NC sex scenes?

[El Maligno]

I'm down for any NC action. So count me in. I mean that he will not be forcing anyone but he is open to being take so to speak. Or if a villain somehow forced him to act in such a way other than that a fellow titan cant really expect to keep the trust of his teammates other wise

[Daoine Sidhe]

I will not be participating in any NC sexual scenes.  I could see being imprisoned by the villains as being considered NC, though, which isn't a problem.

[apygoos]

While the subject is on the table, i always love a good sex scene, but lets make sure this RP still has a good balance of story with it. Every titans/young justice RP I've done here has died because everyone becomes too horny to fight crime, or even have a life/story outside the bedroom.
I like both Artemis and Jinx, so its all up to you. ill have a character sheet in either tonight before i go to bed, or tomorrow. also, do we have an OOC yet? i feel like where we are at in discussion would be better to put there. you may also want to note in the OP recruitment is currently closed

[El Maligno]

I agree don't get me wrong as a guy I'm all for sex but I would like a good story line as I'm sure everyone else here seems to be too.

[Vaulera]

I'm a big fan of NC myself, it's just my tastes, but I don't think including a lot of it is necessarily a smart thing to do. NC story lines center quite entirely around the sexual act itself, which isn't really our focus.

[Vaulera]

After much consideration and quite a bit of watching young justice/ reading up on Artemis, I decided to play Artemis instead. It isn't just an aesthetic thing either. Though Jinx has an interesting background, being a converted villain, etc. her only real connections to the others in the roleplay are slim. It's unfortunate that she's not actually much of a real character, Jinx was a Trinidadian woman who could use Voodoo powers in the actual D.C. lore, and I would like to stay at least a little more true to D.C. than the altered Jinx. I also just plain like Artemis and think we need some more power-devoid heroes, besides just the boy wonder.

[Daoine Sidhe]

Artemis sounds like a solid choice to me.  As for the NC/sex, I hadn't planned on engaging in many sexual scenes.  I imagine there might be one or two during the course of the game between Koriand'r and Dick, but since this is a story-driven RP, they'll likely be focused on other matters.

[Vaulera]

Well, I wouldn't rule out the possibility of a number of sex scenes. I myself plan on indulging in that, where appropriate. Sex scenes will happen in their own thread in the tower, the regular tower stuff in it's own thread, and outside the tower will be the "Mission Thread" With the customary OOC and Character threads. Maybe some more, depending on what we want to do, but that's the basic idea for the whole thing.

[El Maligno]

Same here Aqualad's a good looking guy and he will love the female titans.  ;) But like Vaulera said when appropriate I mean we won't be in the middle of a fight and Aqualad's between Artemis and Raven and he looks at their boobs and grabs on in each hand at a random time. No I will not be doing that... lol but that was funny thinking about that.

Besides I like the idea of him being with Starfire or Artemis or Raven {shes uber sexy}  (I know shes off limits though I'm just sayin)

[Vaulera]

As tragic as it is, I think that Artemis is the only single bisexual female in the roleplay as it is right now. Although I would agree and say Raven wouldn't engage in much of that anyways, it leaves me with my work cut out for me. By the way, to all who haven't posted a profile, that being Cyborg, Raven and Robin, please start working on those, message me if you need help or anything. I'll be doing mine last!

[apygoos]

yea, im going to try and get that up tonight

[El Maligno]

Yes artemis is going to be getting a lot of attention I think.  >:)

[Vaulera]

See, It's later in her life, so just like Robin would canonically be Nightwing, I'm wondering if I should make Artemis Tigress, and not an archer!

[apygoos]

you could do what im doing with Dick, start her as Artemis, and move her up to Tigress

[apygoos]

Name:Richard "Dick" Grayson
Alias: Robin/Nightwing
Age:20
Appearance:




Powers: N/A
Equipment:Grapple Gun, Wing-Dings, Eskirma Sticks, Titans comm, Smoke pellets, hand cuffs, utility knife, holo glove computer, tracing devices, The Red Wing Motorcycle [becoems the Blue Wing when he becomes Nightwing]
Skills/ Abilities: Trained in various Martial arts by Batman, highly nimble and acrobatic, Detective prowess, tech savvy
Personality/ Character traits: Hard Working, Dedicated, Reliable, fun-loving, Courageous
History:After the murder of his parents, the Youngest member of the Flying Grayson's, Richard,  was taken in by Billionaire Bruce Wayne as his ward. It did not take long for Dick to discover that his new father figure was The Batman. Bruce took advantage of this opportunity and Dicks young ambition and trust to take him into the world of the cape and cowl. Richard became the Batman's sidekick under the guise of Robin, the Boy Wonder. As Robin advanced into his teen years he met a girl names Kori, who was gifted with fantastic powers. Robin took the initiative to form a team of others like himself  and Kori. Robin, Cyborg, Starfire, Raven, Beast Boy, Aqualad, Kid Flash, and Speedy all formed the original Teen Titans. Robin lead the team for a time, then complications arose, leading to the team being dissolved. Robin returned to his Mentor, The Batman. Now completing college and still keeping in touch with Kori to maintain their relationship, the now Man Wonder has much on his mind, namely his future in the mask, and outside of it.

[Vaulera]

Excellent! I love your character profile, good inclusion of equipment, I think it's safe to say it's to be added instead of powers for the gadgeteers! So, now for you, Raven and Cyborg!

[apygoos]

glad you like it :)

[Vaulera]

Also, in a similar way to Nightwing being Nightwing, I may have Artemis be Tigress instead, her more recent and canonical appearances.

[Daoine Sidhe]

Hm.  I suppose I can work with that.

[Mysterica]

Before I post Raven's character sheet I'll take a popular vote as I have been given the choice.  Black cloak raven, or white?

[apygoos]

well, id ask this, is she free from her fathers influence?
if she is white, if not, black

[El Maligno]

Yeah depends on how you want to play her If she's free then white. If not then Black. thats how I vote.

Cyborg
Real Name:  Victor "Vic" Stone
Height: 6'10  Weight: ~ 475 lbs.
Occupation:  Adventurer, Scientist
Affiliation: The Team (Young Justice)

Powers:  Body replaced with advanced prosthetics granting:

• Superhuman strength, intellect and durability;
• Numerous functions such as sensors and weaponry; and,
• Flight.

History: Nowadays, everyone’s juggling an offline and online persona. But only one hero is a literal marriage of technology and man. Half human, half machine, Victor Stone is Cyborg, a digital and physical tank—and a true superhero for the modern age.

Although a star athlete, Vic Stone only yearned for his father’s approval. But Dad was too focused on his scientific career to notice… until the day Vic became his greatest experiment. After Vic suffered a grave injury, his father saved him by replacing over half his body with cybernetic parts.

Now Cyborg is plugged into every computer on Earth, and no firewall—or brick wall—can keep him out. While his cybernetic enhancements provide superhuman strength, speed, and endurance, that same technology destroys his chances to live as a professional athlete. Now flourishing in the digital realm, Vic is desperately alone in the physical world—and still longs for his father’s affection.  Hungry to find purpose again, he fights alongside the Team.

At this point in the story, it'd be white cloak Raven.  But before she became evil again... >_>  She was a very back-and-forth character, as I recall.

[Vaulera]

I think for the sake of simplicity, white cloak. No daddy issues to work out! Also, good profile, fantastic art! But can Cyborg really fly? I knew he had a grapnel attachment for one arm, but no jetpacks.

[PhantomPistoleer]

Yes, he can fly.  Unless of course, when he can't. 

[PhantomPistoleer]

Also, I could go either way on Raven -- but please let her have thigh-high boots!  ::prays::

[Vaulera]

Again, as funny as it may be, I think that with the wonder-couple, Artemis/Tigress is going to be having relations with the whole rest of the cast! Lesbian stuff with Raven (not often or not at all, if I understood our mysterica) and then whatever feels right with either Aqualad or Cyborg (Not gonna lie, probably Aqualad, as his penis isn't pseudo-science), but very probably Cyborg as well. Not sure on specifics of course!

[apygoos]

was Dick x Kori really just called the wonder couple? :P

[Vaulera]

He's the boy-wonder and shall be forever.

[Vaulera]

Can't believe I just noticed this, but Cyborg's profile needs to be done to my template. It should be fine, considering the most important parts are done already.

[PhantomPistoleer]

Aww, screwing Cyborg isn't like screwing a refrigerator!  It's like screwing someone that can turn into a OB/GYN's saddle and manifest three cocks.  He can also anatomically disconnect his hands and fingers, and he can control them to arouse his friends from afar!  Or!  He could create a very sultry VR simulation -- and who knows what might happen there!

I will play Cyborg playfully -- not attached to anyone, but willing to get down.  :)

[Vaulera]

I'm going to be putting up a character, OOC and the tower thread tonight in the NC Human freeform sub-heading and will post a new reply with the links embedded when they're up. As for Mysterica and Raven, I'm going to give her two days and a character excuse for missing the first exchanges!

[El Maligno]

Lol yes i think Artemis is going to be very busy. I imagine shes going to get a lot of attention. Aqualad will be more than happy to put in more than his fair share lol.   >:)

[apygoos]

Man Dick is proly the horniest of the lot and hes going to look like a saint the way you guys are talking :P

[Vaulera]

Are you saying that Robin is going to cheat? Does that mean Starfire will too? Is this going to be the NTR Titans?

[apygoos]

no, im saying that Robin wont cheat, and im pretty sure Starfire wont

[Vaulera]

But the NTR Titans sounds just damned amazing and hilarious all at once!

[El Maligno]

lol yeah well who knows maybe they will get put into a situation where they have no choice or they are forced but lol it would make for a good story. i dont know about dick being the worst ill give him a run for his money there's a reason I chose the name El Maligno it means The Wicked one though I dont mean it in a extremely dark and evil way...just other matters lol I am really looking forward to seeing everyone play their characters. Aqualad is def. gonna have fun with artemis thats for sure. The others idk yet bc of their respective owners so we'll see.

Character thread (please post profiles here!): https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=173522.0

Working on one of the ICs, Apygoos, if you could message me, we need to discuss how we should break down the Tower's IC threads.

[Vaulera]

Name: Artemis Crock "Tigress"
Age: 21
Appearance:



Skills/ Abilities:
Hand-to-Hand: Artemis is an expert in hand-to-hand combat, both using melee range weapons and her fists. Her style is focused primarily around kicks, long, sweeping motions that take advantage of her taller frame and put her at less of a disadvantage because of her gender and size. The training comes from not only her time with Green arrow as his second protege, but under the tutelage of her father Sportsmaster and rivalry with her sister Cheshire.

Conditioning: Although her strength, speed and agility aren't superhuman by any measure, Artemis has beyond ordinary human conditioning, able to keep pace with the likes of Nightwing, Batman and Green Arrow as another superhero without meta-human abilities.

Acrobatics: Artemis is no Dick Grayson when it comes to acrobatics and moving around the field, but her abilities are extraordinary when compared to the average. She is still able to utilize her equipment and environment to assist her in dodging, moving and attacking.

Covert Operations: Artemis, as many of the regular human heroes, is an expert in infiltration, stealth movement, camouflage and the tactical movements of an operation. Though her skill in planning such things may not be as advanced as others, her execution of a strategy or tactic is flawless, along with her understanding of those strategies.

First Aid: Without any formal training in the medical sciences, she isn't a doctor by any measure, but along with Green Arrow, she learned how to treat wounds in the field, with or without a proper first aid kit.

Equipment:
Crossbow, Assortment of different bolts, Blowpipe with sedative darts, Flechettes (darts that are thrown, filled with poison, knockout or explosive liquids), Bolas, smoke bombs and a new sword, similar to Deathstroke.

Personality/ Character traits:
Aggressive, passionate, defensive, confrontational, wild

History:
Artemis Crock was born in Gotham city to a completely criminal family. Her mother was huntress, a ruthless criminal, and her father was Sportsmaster, a similarly criminal man. Her only sibling is Cheshire, a former criminal turned family woman. When she was growing up, her father trained her in the way of combat, weaponry and the criminal underworld. During this time, Artemis and her sister Cheshire were subjected to a horrifying amount of verbal, psychological and even physical abuse. She was pitted against her sister frequently, creating bitter, resentful feelings.

After many years, Artemis' parents had a job go extraordinarily bad. Her mother ended up in a chair, her legs paralyzed and imprisoned, taking the fall for her brutish father and serving instead of him. Another set of years until she was released from prison went by, Artemis' sister running from her tyrannical father, her mother freeing her from his influence. During this time, Artemis adopted a crime fighting alias, or would be, were it not her own name anyways. She followed the original team in their earliest ventures and eventually was accepted into their fold, with the lie told that she was the niece of Green Arrow.

While she was on the team, Artemis grew strong bonds with Robin and Aqualad, but after a number of years and the original team breaking down, Artemis and Wally West decided to hang up their identities and live a normal life again. She was called back into action by Nightwing to assist in an infiltration assignment, working with Aqualad as his Lieutenant under the new alias tigress. During this time, Artemis grew even closer to Aqualad, as he was the only friend of hers there for the months of undercover operations. Artemis came back into crime-fighting full time again when her partner Wally sacrificed himself for the greater good. She took up the new equipment and the alias tigress, but keeps her old green clothes, still in a time of transition. She forged her own path solo, but answered the call of Nightwing, joining a new team, the Titans.

[Vaulera]

Okay, there's my piece. Any input or opinions to inject, players?

[apygoos]

hold the phone:
if were going to go with That history [continuation of Young Justice] Dick wouldnt be Robin, he would already be Nightwing with his own set up in Bludhaven City. With this history if someone wanted a different woman in the last woman slot, Zatanna would also be viable and by this time line, be a former lover of Dick

[Vaulera]

This is all true. It's impossible for me to use Artemis as a character without that canon however. The difficult thing being that all of these heroes exist in the same universe, but in canon, they would have to break up all of these teams regularly. If the Teen Titans was quite young, perhaps 13 or 14 and the team was 16/17, the evolution of that team at 18/19, then ours would fit up at 20/21. But it becomes a problem when there are conflicting timelines with our characters.

[apygoos]

so with that set up this is how it would have to be:
Nightwing resigns lead of the team to Aqualad after the death of Wally. this would still leave Dick to be soul searching like planned. In this time, he would have reunited with Kori
Aqualad leaves Batgirl/Red Robin[Tim Drake] in charge of the team when Nightwing makes the call to make a smaller, more elite unit, The Titans
the reason for forming the Titans is that Dick believes something needs to be done as he questions the Leagues over all effectiveness, especially with Wally's death. With a team he is more comfortable with, closer, more tight knit, this team would operate outside the JLA, but not be opposed to helping them from time to time if they could.

[El Maligno]

This sounds like a plan. I think that makes sense and makes for a good story explaining why we are now banding together and how a few of us know each other really well and others do not. I like the Artemis character piece very well and I like the choice much better story wise after apygoos' post

[apygoos]

for context of this "deep under cover"
Aqualad double agent.wmv
Dick Grayson nightwing & wally West Kid Flash argue about Kaldur'a aqualad A triple agent
kid flash's death [very relvant for Artemis and Nightwing]
((SPOILERS!!!!)) Young Justice: Season 2 Finale Clip: Kid Flash's Death

[Vaulera]

Excellent Apygoos! It's a perfect way to put the chronology together. He would have known Cyborg and Starfire from when he was in the Teen Titans many years ago and Artemis and Aqualad from just a year or two ago. Now, if we're following this path of events, it means that Nightwing and Starfire aren't still in a relationship. Their wedding fell apart and their relationship ended. Is this alright with you two? Also, Mysterica only has one day left.

[apygoos]

that would make sense, so it would return to more of the "Dick is coming back to her" kind of thing for the opening of the RP

[Vaulera]

IC is up! For those with character profiles up, feel free to post your character in the character thread and after Apygoos is done his post, throw up your entrance!

IC: https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=173585.msg8196448#new

[apygoos]

we are currently seeking two roles [one male, one female].
The story line combines the early years teen titans along with the aftermath of the end of Young Justice television series.

[BlackestKnight]

I could work up a character sheet

[Vergil1989]

I've seen bits and pieces of Teen Titans but I've seen both seasons of YJ, so if there's anything available on YJ's end still, I'd be happy to try to figure something out for you V.  Who on the YJ end is still available?

[apygoos]

with Wally West dead, we currently have on the roster Nightwing, Starfire [original titan], Aqualad [came over formthe team], and Tigress [Artemis, coming from solo work after Wally's death]
YJ characters still available:
Males- Static Shock, Robin/Red Robin [Tim Drake], Lagoon boy, Beast Boy [arguably a original titan as well], Superboy, Blue Beetle, Impulse/Kid Flash [Bart Allen]
Females- Miss Martian, Wonder Girl, Batgirl, Zatanna, Rocket, Tempest
Nightwing is the one calling this team together, and he would be operating as the effective leader.

[Vergil1989]

Miss Martian sounds good. ;D  Although ol Static is an old favorite of mine from my far younger days lol.  Joking aside, thanks for the list Apygoos. Let me give it some thought but it's either gonna be Static, Blue Beetle, Miss Martian, or Zatanna.  I have a bunch of family over right now too so I can't stick around anyway.

[apygoos]

if youre toying with Static, youll remember he joined the team after Nightwing left, being mentored by the JLA at the same time. Aqualad and Batgirl wouldve been in charge. if youre coming in with Static, you could arguably have Aqualad give a strong reccomendation to Dick. That though would have him arriving slightly later into the RP, but still very workable. anyone else on that list Dick could have arguably invited into the new Titans.
If Zatanna comes on board..Dick has his harem of ladies that he awkwardly invited to this team >.>

[Vaulera]

Oh! I would love to have you on board Vergil, as a male or a female.

[Vergil1989]

Name:  Jaime Reyes / Blue Beetle
Age:  21  (Gonna take a guess here lol.)
Appearance: 

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

Powers:  Transformation
Flight
Durability
Energy blasts
Advanced sensors
Super strength
Technology interface
Translation
Skills/ Abilities: He's completely average without his Blue Beetle battle armor besides being able to speak Spanish as well as English.
Personality/ Character traits:  Mellow, slightly troubled, loyal, responsible, and reliable.
History:  Saving the world with the Team from the Reach and Black Beetle's numerous disruptors, fighting against Vandal Savage and members of his Light Organization, and working alongside heroes and heroines from the Justice League and more, Blue Beetle has been an integral part of many successes.  Unfortunately, Jamie Reyes can't stop thinking about the short time he was trapped within his own head by a rebooted Scarab which was under the direct control of the Reach.  Despite having come to an understanding with the Scarab after being freed from the Reach, Jaime hasn't been the same person he was before being trapped in his own head.  He left the Team shortly after Wally's death and did his own thing, but Jamie still kept a line open to Nightwing and any of his old friends that needed his help, provided he was in the neighborhood.  So when Dick called him in to assemble a new team, Jamie reluctantly agreed.  His solo act was getting lonely and despite his misgivings, even his Scarab thought it a good idea that he rejoin his old friends.

Or, as the Scarab put it.  Your constant moping is making me regret ever joining with you Jamie Reyes.  "Bite me."

[Vaulera]

I was going to suggest putting more fluff in the history section, until I just thought for a second. He doesn't really have more fluff than that! It's fine, move him over to the character thread and introduce yourself. I need some more to complete my post :P.

[Chasseybaby]

Ill throw my hand in for a female character, I'm not sure which at the moment but ill have a char. sheet up soon ^^v

[Vaulera]

Please do! You will be filling the last slot, as it were, we do need another girl! If you would like, I could give suggestions/ characters left.

[Chasseybaby]

Sure! ^^ Thank you!

[Vaulera]

Okay, in the way of girls left, it would be more like this for Teen Titans: Tera, Raven, that's it. For young justice, there's Miss Martian, Zatanna, Bee, Wonder-Girl, Batgirl. Those are some that are left, I likely missed one or two.

[apygoos]

i think she has an idea, i could be wrong

[Vaulera]

Meh, couldn't hurt to state who's left!

[Chasseybaby]

I think ill do Zatanna ^^ I was between her and Batgirl but i think the idea of saying stuff backwards would be awesome. :p and im all about fishnets and magic o^^o ill get a Csheet up tomorrow if i can ^^ thank you cant wait to play :)

[Vaulera]

Hey! Those are stockings, not fishnets! And yes! Hell yes! Three women, two of which were Robin's old flames? This promises to be interesting on many, many levels! Also, that works well, I wanted to have a girly-friend dynamic with at least one of them, and frankly, Starfire and Artemis don't have a lot in common!

[Chasseybaby]

well maybe we can switch to fishnets maybe raid Artemis drawer for them ^^ any ways yeah robin is kinda sitting between two ex lovers, im excited to see how that will turn out. :p

[Vaulera]

Two ex-lovers and a near-romantic interest!

[Chasseybaby]

:p Nice...

[El Maligno]

robin may indeed be the lucky one now lol

[Vaulera]

If you need help with your character sheet, don't hesitate to ask! I love putting those together!

[apygoos]

i think E being down ofr a chunk of the day messed with her timing a bit

[Vaulera]

Yeah, messed with everyone, including me!

[Vaulera]

I frowny face. People need to be posting more often! Although I suppose the startup is quite slow!

[apygoos]

il lget apost up at some point today

[El Maligno]

i can post as often as you want i just didnt want to be every other post

[apygoos]

il ltry to see if i can post, idk what it is but im suddenly sick as a dog. i dont get sick often but when i do..man does the toilet bowl become my friend.

[Vaulera]

Please don't hesitate to post. You've only done it once, and I'm sure it would offer more material. In my experience, fewer posts is a quick way to kill a game.

[PhantomPistoleer]

I should be able to post consistently now.  Sorry for the delay.

[Chasseybaby]

Here's Zatanna ^^

Name: Zatanna Zatara

Age: 20

Appearance:

Powers: Can use magic, like her father, Zatanna has magical abilities which she channels by speaking backwards. She can also lay enchantments on objects. Zatanna's reliance on her voice often led to her being bound and gagged by villains can render her 'powerless. On very rare occasions, Zatanna has cast spells by writing them in her own blood rather than speaking them aloud. It is used as a last resort, only to heal from severe physical damage preventing her to speak. Overuse of her magical powers can deplete them to the point that further use of them starts to put a considerable strain on her physical well-being: as with other magical users, the only way to restore her waning powers is an extended period of rest.
Along with her spell casting, Zatanna is able to teleport herself and/or others to anywhere she desires. She also possess a small amount of superhuman strength and durability to fight alongside other heroes.

Skills/ Abilities: . Zatanna is a skilled illusionist, showgirl and stage magician even without resorting to her innate magical powers. Zatanna has proven herself able to call upon tarot reading for insight or divination. Such a task does not require verbal incantations, spoken or written, at all, nor is it tied to a specific tarot deck. She has also been taught conventional fighting skills, but favors using magic in place of them. She is multi-lingual and is able to speak English, Spanish, and "Backwards Speech".

Personality/ Character traits: Zatanna has a rebellious nature and tends to do things her own way. She is also quite comfortable with herself and how she appears to others. She is compassionate and trusting towards others on her team. Her love for her father is greater than her sense of duty, wanting only to make him proud of her.

History: Zatanna Zatara is the daughter of famed magician Giovanni “John” Zatara and Sindella, a member of the mystical Homo Magi race. Zatanna was a successful stage illusionist before she discovered her true magical powers while investigating the disappearance of her father. With the help of Batman, The Atom, Elongated Man and others, she was successfully reunited with him. Zatara introduced his daughter to the Young Justice Team in the hopes of giving her a training session with Black Canary. She befriends the others and becomes quite close with them. After the ordeal with Dr. Fate and losing her father Zatanna took up residence with the Team in the cave. It took Zatanna a long while to grow accustomed to the mission briefings and what the Watchtower was but with the help of both Robin and Artemis she started to feel at home and apart of the team. Zatanna stayed with the Team for a while, but eventually joined the Justice League leave the others to better help her father and become a better hero. Though after a couple of years Zatanna found herself questioning her wroth at the League. Seeing the other members looking down at her abilities and judge her for being a younger less trained member of the group. With that she left and went about her performances on stage till Robins message of recruitment came to her. She jumped at the chance to see her old friends again and hope to make new ones with the new team forming.

[El Maligno]
