Enjoyable series and plenty of things that can be done with it, nothing solid yet... just a rough craving and I wonder if anyone else shares it.

defiantly But I would prefer to use one of my own Characters.

Well right now it is technically an interest check, later on Canon vs OCs can be discussed... I was thinking of introducing a Non animated canon character... not an original mind you... but a different one

For my own Character in this potential RP I was thinking that a certain character DC has abused... could use a bit of attention and a chance to show he can better himself...

Jason has plenty, I just think that DC just keeps mishandling him each and every time they have used him since he returned.

Honestly during the battle for the cowl, I would have liked to see him take on the identity of nightwing, let Dick become the Bat and let Jason move down the path towards being a real hero...

You could easily involve players to be part of advancing the plot I did have a concept figured. An unintentional villain of sorts.

My character in mind is a meta that absorbs all forms of energy into his cells there it's stored and can be manipulated and expelled in a number of ways but while he's potentially powerful his own weakness is his knowledge of his powers. Since he doesn't understand them he has little to no control. And this causes him to constantly absorb energy and have to expel it. or risk going nuclear. Currently he's a runaway of sorts a drifter that doesn't stick around too long He ends up running into the YJ group while their either on mission or on down time and he's either a person of interest for the Justice league or some other side that wants to use his powers.

Praxis

I am down with this.

Tim Drake - Robin...

or...a non-canon character.

I got scads of ideas.

I'm down for being Wally. As for your question on where those three are in the new season? It is yet to be disclosed and nothing has even hinted to where they might be. My guess is Kaldur went back to Atlantis to do some more training with Mera, and Artemis and Wally went off to be some sort of duo. Hopefully they will write them back in soon.

I know...it's tragic. Okay so I'm  not sure if Google is still up for this, but I think I might canon and use an OC.

So let's say if we do start from second season what ideas did everyone have? I really liked the idea of the Justice league leaving  and letting the younger team have the job of watching the earth. I say we have one big plot with tiny sub plots.

I would agree to that. However since events would be changed by our playing perhaps an alternative that's set right before us play out the missing five years first. gives up liberties and notable plot points aqua girls death Kaldurs betrayal, The end of Ms. Martian and super boys relationship.

JDrew Spider

I like that idea and absolutely agree. We'll just have to get more players. So we'll be starting with the original team in tact?

It seems as though there is a fair bit of interest in playing non-canon characters, so why not go all the way? We could go completely with an OC universe and just use the concept of the Young Justice show - that of experienced superheroes bringing their sidekicks together to train them up for the day when they will eventually become the world's premiere heroes and heroines?
Thank you, fellow Elliquiyan, and have a wonderful day.

I'd be all for playing a cannon role. As well as my made up I'm just better at playing the OC's I have established. I would be more for playing it in an established Verse no some made for the players with their own Characters. besides I think I'm so far the only on interested in playing my own along with one other but he's also after Tim Drake Robbin after Dick Grayson goes night-wing. Google was thinking of playing red hood from the look of it not an OC but never made known in the series Verse.

Wolfy

I'm up for this....though I'd have to think of a super-power...<_<>_>

JDrew Spider

I have no problem with OC-verse of Young Justice. I just think it's easier to determine the roles of our characters. They would have to be diverse with their own sets of skills and abilities and different backgrounds. We'll need a team leader etc..

So I guess my character will have a similar background to Artemis, since I like the idea of being raised by a criminal family, but sure! I'm game either way.

Power is not everything Yes Syphon Is a powerful being if played to god mode. I Know better I designed him with little understanding of his powers, and a somewhat fearful behavior to showing them off. He also has one major and notable weakness in game a telepathic character could shut him down without much trouble.

See with full understanding of his powers and no fear he could take a punch from Superman and would simply absorb every bit of kinetic energy. It would bruise but then he could If he understood it energize his muscles and shroud his body in radiation energy similar to the red sun or Kryptonite and punch back just as hard hurting him. But again that would require him as a character understanding the nature or both his powers and having sampled either form of radiation and understanding it enough to replicate it.

As it stands he could absorb the blow but not fully and would likely be knocked out with one quarter strength smack from the man'o'steel.

That's not something I'm interested in playing in the same game, and I say that as someone who enjoys playing powerful characters. Maybe I'll catch you guys next time.

Alternatively I have a Technpathic Character but that's one that would have to be played in alter-ego mode to start as she (yes it's a female role) has more flaws than anything else. The primary being the lack of use of her legs (bullet to the spine from some punk kid in her dad's auto mechanics shop. She's also a minor Empathic/ telepath. Very weak short range and touch based with no control.

Actually how you describe your characters powers there would be no way to truly harm Superman with just a punch. Sure he would probably be able to knock the wind out of him but never truly harm him. Unless his punch had some sort of magic or Kryptonite elements to it.

The radiation from both a red sun(which drains a Kryptonian of it's powers.) and the radiation Elements of Green Kryptonite are what he would enshroud his body in. It wouldn't hold the same power but it would be felt. And the Radiation of the green kryptonite would keep Supes at a distance. It's in no way an unbeatable character I never stated he was In fact he's likely to start off as one of the most unreliable and unlikely powerhouses in the game. Again the Character doesn't look at his powers as a gift; it's a curse. If he absorbs too much without releasing it some way he'll go into a meltdown. and Boom.

If not....... This is always tough cause I know more Marvel and wildstorm Chars than DC. Kid Flash If he hasn't been requested already.

I want to establish canons first, once I feel we have enough I would happily open things up to OCs, the only issue that I see is the potential for unbalanced powers.

Well grunge is a matter mimic anything he touches he can take on the Physical properties, and Burnout is a human torch. Not very powerful honestly  As far as My OC's if syphon is too powerful then their is always Revv who is weak in comparison to most hero's even if she gets the time to build the armor and tech that I always have her develop in game.

I've always been more partial towards Aqualad. In the show, he was my absolute favorite character, aside from Red Arrow (Clone). Bah, didn't like Black Canary. Also, I'm game for some Young Justice.

Welcome you two!

Jericho, that's perfectly fine. I'll co-pilot this for, now.


Google said he wanted to establish  Cannons first so I think we have a decent round-up.

So far we have takers for...

Wally/ Kid Flash- Jmorty33
Artemis- JDrew Spider
M'gann/Miss Martian- Aribeth Amkiir
Kal'Dur/ Aqualad- JerichoMyers
Owen Mercer/ Captain Boomerang-Rayve13
Jason Todd/Red Hood- Google
Tim Drake/ Robin- bdgb
Star fire- usha


This is a pretty good list.
So that leaves Superboy, Rocket ,Zatanna, Wonder Girl, Bumble Bee etc...

So it looks like the game has a fairly full roster of Cannons save for Robin which I know I'm horrible at playing.

So if you guys are insisting that he be filled; I will hold off till he's taken to offer up my weaker of the two Original character.

I thought someone made a claim on superboy as well?

AribethAmkiir

I thought someone had claimed superboy as well.

Insaneplots, don't forget that the 2nd season has vastly expanded the roster.  As far as canons you also have Blue Beetle, Speedy, Beast Boy, and Lagoon Boy for male characters.

Cold Heritage did claim Superboy, but he bowed out. However I could shoot him pm to see if he's still interested.

@insaneplots....I think your OC discouraged him. Also we do have Robin, but he hasn't been active.
"Congratulations, you are no longer the most screwed over person on the planet". JD

Spider Hole

insaneplots

Yes the first OC i had I think discouraged him because he thought that the power set was too powerful ignoring the fact that how I planned on playing him would have made him far more weak(not wanting to use his powers and not fully understanding  or being able to control them). he was a bit on the OP side. I was plotting my other which was a far weaker Role In combat but not logistics or technical skill.  technopathy/ TechnoTK makes hacking pretty much useless. I was also under the impression that the game was takeing place during that five year gap.

But If superboy is open I'll take him and give it a try no promises I'll be any good though.

AribethAmkiir

Hey, I'm not sure how well I can pull M'gann off either, but I think it'll be a fun challenge.

JDrew Spider

Really? I think Superboy and M'gann are the easiest characters to play.

AribethAmkiir

Really?  I would've agreed with you until I watched the episodes revealing the "Hello Meagan" TV show and her white martian form.  Not claiming it's hard, just that she's a much more complex character than what's so far been explored in the cartoon. 

Hey, if anyone knows why M'ghann and Connor broke up, shoot me a PM please?   :-)

insaneplots

That's why I say we go with right after season 1 so we have room to develop it maybe M'Ghann was using her telepathy far more invasive and Conner just couldn't take it anymore. You've seen how she is with it now in Season two she doesn't seem to care what happens to the person just that she gets what's needed.

JDrew Spider

I guess Superboy is open and are you still planning to use that power absorber OC?

Yea, I think the rp should start like the day after New Years...so we're basically playing out the five year gap.
"Congratulations, you are no longer the most screwed over person on the planet". JD

Spider Hole

insaneplots

No I was planning on playing my Other OC a technopath, It's a female role that can connect her mind to any level of earth tech and to some extend alien tech and then control it.  The main character detail is that either during or prior to play she's crippled from the waist down. Obviously AI is difficult due to it having a mind of it's own.

AribethAmkiir

My only concern with taking the game right after New Years is the ages.  If we do the 5 year jump that pretty much makes it so that all the characters (except perhaps Beast Boy) are 18+, whereas if it is right after the New Years episode a good number of them are U18.  Not sure how much of a factor that should be but I thought I should mention it.

We also don't -have- to follow the cartoon's story.  We could use the jump to divert from the cartoon's plot and begin to create our own. 

Beware spoilers from the 2nd season:
Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide
Perhaps where Connor and M'Ghann are still together, Artemis and Wally aren't playing house and Aqualad is still team leader?

That would also open the roster more to DC characters (of appropriate age) but not limit it to the canon characters of the show?

JDrew Spider

>.<

Oh yea that's right. Whatever works!

Rayve13

Going into a divergent path makes sense to me, considering we're already diverging a bit from the storyline team with the inclusion of Starfire, Red Hood, and Capt. Boomerang, who only has a connection to one member of this group (an only partially resolved conflict with Tim Drake since their fathers killed each other; Owen helped Robin out stopping a Joker-planted bomb, but they aren't exactly friends).

JerichoMyers

I was tempted to play Aqualad, only because I'm such a big fan but I don't know hwo I would go about playing him since not much was explored with him in season 2. Also, I have an interesting OC villain that isn't very power-based but more.... Dangerously intelligent then anything. He basically has a helmet that's hooked into his brain. It's basically a supercomputer that downloads information into his brain, and forces his brain to function at maximum levels, making him dangerously smart. This allows him to perceive many possible happenings before they happen, like getting punched in the noggin. He isn't the type to brawl out, play fisty-cuffs or exchange low for blow. He's a scrawny guy with too much imagination, imagination that's coming to life. Anyways, he could probably perceive one of the hero's about to kick his ass and no every maneuver they would use to do so..... And still let them do it. Why; because he isn't a fighter, doesn't know the first thing to do.
His motivation would be that humans in general are becoming too dependent on Hero's to save them from the villains. He's an ordinary guy who's trying to solve that problem, give humanity some self respect in consideration to their dependency. So, his first act is to kill a superhero, some one well known to alert the public that HERO'S CAN DIE! What do you think of that idea and gradually building off it? Character and motivation.

AribethAmkiir

Well, considering the DC Universe and the canon characters the players are interested in I would actually make him more powerful and give him a suit that could enhance his physical traits.  You're looking at something like Amazo (minus the power mimicry), I think.

It's a solid concept to play around with.  I usually prefer the GM to control the bad guys, but whatever the group wants.

JerichoMyers

GM playing bad guys is always a good thing, gives everyone a chance but if you're worried, I'm not a power player. The character I want to use, I'd rather him be known for his ingenuity, personality, and unique methods of terrorizing hero's and villains then identified by what powers he possess.

AribethAmkiir

It isn't so much as worrying about having an over powered PC to deal with, as much as player's interest dwindling or feeling being hurt because someone becomes too competitive or a number of other issues which can occur when a game becomes "you vs. me".

JerichoMyers

Trust me, I'm in love with this character and do my best role playing with him. Only issue I had is people auto-knowing this and that, or expecting some thing, that is completely random and out of the blue, and avoiding it. Other then that, with this character it's more based on the choices you make and battle of the minds. He has a very, very powerful and focused mental state, which makes it nearly impossible to infiltrate his mind. He isn't psychic or anything, the main danger remains in his unpredictability. But like I said, the you vs me thing isn't much of a problem in the end. People are more concerned about powers then characters themselves. That's what I'm getting, at the moment. Powers can be beaten with a touch of strategy and second thought.

AribethAmkiir

True.  Often though, in super hero stories, characters are their powers.  For instance M'Ghann supposedly has the potential of being more powerful than her uncle as far as telepathy (I think that's what was said in one episode), and she's a martian.  I could see possible tension between you and I if things were said like "you can't read his mind because of this, this, and this."  I'm the sort who likes to avoid confrontation and would just rather circumvent the entire situation if at all possible.  On the other hand, if we were to sit down and come together to form a plot in which we could compromise and make a fun environment for everyone it would be a different story.  In my experience, unfortunately, it is rare that two people online can ever actually do that.

A strong and focused mind is more like a fortress not unbeatable, just difficult.

This was a problem I saw when I offered up Syphon. powers alone; world breaker under the right circumestances, Character wise. all that power doesn't want to use and doesn't know how to use it or how it truly works.

It's not so much the power, but powers must have limits that are practical. I don't think anyone's character should be completely impervious.

Completely agree JD.

I always make my character with at least one major flaw in their powers. Syphon could absorb just about any form of energy and convert it into any other type and expel it. now on that description alone he seems powerful but his mind is his major weakness any telepath could render him useless. Also if he absorbs too much he goes critical. Causes him to unleash all of that raw power in one massive blast destroying just about everything in the radius. but it also drains his power completely and puts him into a coma for about a week. Unless someone like captain atom is there to reabsorb it. and even then beings like superman would be un-phased (it's not a specific type that would affect him just energy.)

Also since this is a roleplay and everyone must interact with each other like AribethAmkiir said, characters must be fun to interact with too. It reminds me of those marvel characters Eternity, Infinity, Death and Oblivion. Characters so powerful that they become almost 'fun deficient'. Same thing goes for characters that are to weak or just useless.

As for where we start off. I say carve our own version of season two.

Everything sounds good to me. I actually like Jerichos idea for a villain, it reminds me of Prometheus without all the God modding crap he had in Cry for Justice.

I was thinking Prometheus as well Morty, with some Deathstroke thrown in, and a version of Lex Luthor's attitude applied to every 'superhero' instead of mostly just Superman.

AribethAmkiir

Jog my memory, who was Prometheus?

JDrew Spider

That guy who stole fire from the gods and gave it to man.

;D Kidding, but yea who is he? Forgot.

Thanks, I really appreciate that. The idea came when I kept seeing role plays with people trying to get these god mod powers every where. A lot of them would give these piss poor excuses for weaknesses, so it got me thinking...... Why not have a villain who isn't rich, isn't over powered but some one who is down right evil. A character who's ingenuity and drive to make his vision become a reality the scariest ability of all. And no offense towards people here, I've been on a site called gaia for the longest time with a lot of terrible role players.

Prometheus was sort of the anti-Batman. His parents were criminals gunned down by police, so he devoted his life to destroying police/law and order. He did the whole Bruce Wayne thing of training in all the skills he thought might come in handy, then added a lot of equipment and started his war. Along with a lot of weapons, he developed a helmet that let him download knowledge and physical skills directly into his brain. He used it mainly to fill in whatever gaps in knowledge he had (and that wasn't too many, as he had a genius-level intellect) and to gain the fighting skills of several of the DCU's best martial artists.

JerichoMyers

Wow....... After reading that, I can only assume the majority of you think I ripped off the prometheus character. Just so you all know, I had no idea who the guy was! Also, he can learn their moves but wouldn't he have to practice with them to actually know how to do said moves? Just seems sorta impractical, to an extent.

Rayve13

I absolutely believe that you didn't!I've had the same thing happen to me when making characters. I'll come up with an idea and then find out that it already exists.

As far as his ability to use the moves, the storyline way around that is a combination of him already being highly trained in several martial arts, so really it's more their style than specific moves, and the exoskeleton of his battle armor helping him move like they do.

insaneplots

One of the plot point for my Original is that she ends up losing the use of her legs so encountering enemies with exoskeletons would be a good precursor to her final reveal as a hero cause she starts off as someone one of the former school bound heros know.Tim Drake, Artemis wally, she's a mechanics daughter but gifted to a degree, when she's shot or crippled in some accident her meta powers awaken. Eventually she gets a suit with exoskeleton legs that enables her to walk again with her technopathic powers. It's a good cover cause who is gonna connect a crippled person to being an armor clad vigilante.

AribethAmkiir

I came to the conclusion a long time ago that there are no more original ideas out there.  There are just a few dozen different ways to spin every single idea.   ;D
