"In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together."
- President Dwight D. Eisenhower

THE STORY

As the title implies, in this RP we will be playing as the Justice League, the greatest heroes the world has ever known. This is not meant to be an origin story. The League will already be established and will operate out of their orbital satellite base, the Watchtower. Each player will either take on an iconic member of the team, or may create their own original superhero. If you choose the latter, I encourage you to try and integrate your new character into the lore of the DC Universe. Maybe your character hails from Atlantis, or was trained by the League of Assassins, or was chosen as a member of the Green Lantern Corps. You get the idea.

In our first adventure, the Justice League will battle against the forces of Brainiac, the Preserver of Worlds. For those of you unfamiliar with his work, Brainiac is a super intelligent android whose claim to fame is shrinking the Kryptonian city of Kandor and collecting it in a bottle. The bottled city of Kandor is a relic of a doomed civilization, and Brainiac has visited countless planets to expand his collection of such relics. His sights are now set on planet Earth, and he aims to collect one of the Earth's greatest cities. This city will serve as a relic of humanity, a civilization destined to destroy itself. The story will begin with Brainiac sending his probe droids to scout various cities on Earth, and will escalate into a full scale alien invasion.

Earth's problems are not just limited to extraterrestrial invaders however. Recently, tensions have escalated between the United States of America and the middle eastern nation of Kahndaq, ruled by the tyrannical dictator Asim Muhunnad. Lex Luthor is lobbying for United States military intervention in Kahndaq, as his company, LexCorp, has weapons manufacturing contracts with the U.S military. For Lex Luthor, war is what's best for business. LexCorp is also secretly developing super weapons for the U.S military to use against the Justice League, as a fail safe in the event of the League going rogue. While today the Justice League may serve as protectors, it is feared that one day they could become rulers.

THE RULES

Nothing out of the ordinary here, just adhere to the standards of casual roleplay. No one-liners, use proper spelling and grammar. We may be playing as god-like characters, but obviously god modding still isn't cool. If you are playing as an iconic member of the League, make sure it's a character you are familiar with and make sure that you stick to the core aspects of their character. So don't have Batman pull out a gun and start lightning people up.

CHARACTER SHEET

Superhero Name:
Civilian Identity:
Appearance: If you are playing as an established hero, use an image here. These are comic book characters, there are lots of images to choose from. If you are an original character, an image is still preferred if possible.
Powers and Abilities: It's important to fill this section out even if you're an established character because A. it shows that you are familiar with their strengths and limitations, and B. there are many different incarnations of these characters and some have different power sets. For example, the original Superman didn't actually fly, he could just "leap tall buildings in a single bound."
Biography: Again, still fill this out if you're playing an established character. It doesn't have to be long. Like I said there are many different incarnations of these superheroes, so it's important to know which one we're dealing with. Are you a young Batman, or an older, more experienced Batman? Is the Flash an eligible bachelor, or is he married? Is Aquaman a respectable hero, or is he still a joke? We need to know these things.

Superhero Name: Shifter
Civilian Identity: Walter Chuck Warner
Appearance:

Powers and Abilities:
shape-shifting: Walter has the ability to alter his molecules and cellular structure which allows him transform into pretty much anything he can think of, this includes both animate and inanimate objects. When he transforms into things that normally are not alive, he can still talk and move as if it is alive, for example if Walter was to change into a sandwich then he would still be able to see, hear, and talk as if the sandwich was alive. he also not limited to real things, he loves shape-shifting into fictional characters but doesn't have any of their abilities. when he needs to get somewhere fast, Walt transforms into vehicles and sometimes even missiles and rockets to increase the speed of his traveling. his shape-shifting abilities also allows him to partially transform his body and gain power from the partial transformation such as turning his skin into extremely dense metals, and making himself very gooey to protect him from fatal attacks, he can sometimes even push the limit by turning his body density into air. He can also alter the size of the things he changes into, but he does have a limit on the maximum size of the transformation, the biggest he can have his transformation is the size of a sauropod dinosaur.

Biography: Walt was a boy who grew up on hilarious cartoons such as the Loony Tunes, Disney shorts and Tom&Jerry. His childhood was spent mostly buy thinking up many ideas for cartoons that he planned to create when he was older. At one point during his high school junior year, Walt went on a school trip to a cartoon studio and he was fascinated at witnessing the process of crafting cartoons. The people at the studio showed them a special type ink that was made from a combination of chemicals. The weather soon started to change and a thunderstorm started up. While Walter was holding a bottle of the special ink, a lightning bolt went through the window and the bottle. Walt was hit by a huge amount of electricity and the chemicals in the ink slashed onto him, altering his body's cells and molecular structure. The next thing he knew, he awoke in a hospital and was told that it was a miracle that he was still alive and not permanently injured. After he was let out of the hospital, he soon discovered that he had the ability to shapeshift into all sorts of things. Not too long afterwards, he decided to become a costumed crime fighter and took the name Shifter. His heroic exploits eventually had become a sidekick to the hero Animal Man, although his goofy personality can be annoying to his mentor. After about several years of doing heroics with Animal Man, Walt decided to became a hero of his own and joined the Justice League to become a great asset to saving the world.

other: He prefers to be called Walt, and his name full name is a combination of Walt Disney, Chuck Jones and Warner Bros.

So... Here's my Green Lantern, then. Hope she's okay. ^^;

• Superhero Name: Green Lantern
• Civilian Identity: Eilidh MacLeod
• Appearance: Kind of crappy, but oh well. She's... Short, at about 150cm/4'11".

• Powers and Abilities: As a member of the Green Lantern Corps, Eilidh is equipped with a Power Ring. With this, she is able to produce hardlight constructs limited only by her imagination, as well as fly and fire energy blasts. The ring also works as a universal translator, allowing her to understand all known languages as well as translating anything she says. However, despite having undergone basic training on Oa, Eilidh has yet to realise the full potential of the ring's powers; she currently limits herself to rather simple constructs when her imagination makes her capable of so much more if only she would realise the ring was actually capable of making more complex structures. The ring must be recharged every 24 hours, otherwise it will be rendered little more than a piece of costume jewelry until such time that it is charged again. Having been selected as a member of the Corps, Eilidh is naturally almost superhumanly brave and possesses immense willpower. She is somewhat skilled in both armed and unarmed combat, but her technique is unrefined as she simply learned it on the street and has had no formal martial arts training.

• Personality: Hot tempered, aggressive and almost perpetually angry. It's as though she has far too much anger to properly contain in such a small body, causing it to spill out at random intervals. She's not a bad person, though; she genuinely wishes to help uphold the law and, above all, protect the weak. She hates anyone who uses their power to tread on the weak and helpless, and will show no mercy against them. The only thing she hates more than people like that are those who make fun of her size or mistake her for a child sidekick (for reference, she's 19 despite looking about 14 due to how short and underdeveloped she is). Despite her fiery, confrontational nature, once she befriends you you've made a friend for life... Just don't expect her to be polite about it.

• Biography: Once, Eilidh was simply a trainee police officer from the Scottish city of Glasgow. Despite always wanting to become a law enforcer, her temper coupled with the fact that she lived in Glasgow led to her getting into a lot of fights when she was younger; not that she regrets her days as a street punk, though, as she believes it helped her not only hone her aggression towards those who deserved it but taught her not to fear anyone. After all, no matter how big or tough someone was, they all went down eventually. Now entering adulthood, her life changed forever one night when an alien craft crashlanded nearby and called her to the fatally wounded pilot. Revealing himself to be a member of an intergalactic law enforcement agency, with his dying breath he passed on his ring and a strange lantern to the hotheaded young woman, telling her that she would soon be contacted by the Guardians of the Universe who would explain things in more detail.

Soon enough, she got the call, and to her surprise and annoyance was brought to the planet Oa to undergo basic training. After seperating her from the pile of Green Lanterns that she had roughed up whilst looking for a more direct explanation, a towering alien drill instructor named Kilowog explained to her (after she regained consciousness; she was being rather uncooperative before he knocked her out) in more detail what the dying alien had only vaguely mentioned: that she was now part of the Green Lantern Corps, and it was her duty to ensure the safety and uphold the law in Sector 2814. After underdoing the behemoth's hellish training, she not only learned how to use her ring but also developed a kind of vitriolic respect for the drill sergeant. After completing basic training, she was sent back to Earth, where she currently operates as both Green Lantern and as a "special" police officer. She has made no attempt to hide her identity, as whilst other heroes worry about what would happen to their loved ones if their identity was revealed, other heroes don't live in Glasgow; and not even the most insane lunatic would try and start something with Glasgow.

That's my full Aquaman cs up.

And that Green Lantern Cs is badass. Like a Glaswegian Guy Gardner!

So far so good guys. I'm a huge fan of Aquaman so I'm glad he's found his way onto our team, and Rin I really like what you've done with the new Green Lantern. I also enjoyed Shifter's origin story and I like the idea of a superhero that's basically a cartoon character brought to life. I'll post the Big Blue Boy Scout's CS when I get a chance, and once we have one of two more players I see no reason why we shouldn't start.

Alright! First side character to pass PMs. Now I wait for the opportunity to bring him in for a bit later in the IC owo
Name: Gerard Lewis ((Name is used both on duty and off duty))

Age: 29

Gender: M



Skills and abilities: Quick adaptation, uncanny reaction time ((Not saying he can dodge a bullet, but we can probably duck under the swing of a punch or even catch it)), espionage as well as counter espionage, Free running, Firearms training, hand to hand combat, explosives handling

Bio: Gerard was raised like your typical kid, having his times of goofing around and his times of hardcore studying and such. He had a family to love, a best friend who stayed by his side till the end, even had good grades at school. Many business would've killed for him to join their enterprise, but it was when he traded his gift for a badge that startled everyone. At the age of 20, Gerard Lewis became an officer of the law, specifically associated with a precinct in GCPD. Unfortunately, he was one of the very unlucky ones when it came to trouble, and his stubbornness is what got him to loose soo much and become the way he is.

He was a friendly person to almost everyone around him until the a year after he became a police officer. They say that the chances were slim to none for a cop like him to go through what he did, but those moments to him were buried emotionally, the only thing linking him to such events being old police reports. He experienced it all; murder, shootings, even the death of a partner, and over time that rocked his emotions around to the point he started to feel numb. He was planning to quit everything, but it was on a morning in a hospital that everything went a different path.

After wandering the halls in the hospital the man came across a child.. Or the child stepped in his way and looked up at him with a smile. Her name he couldn't recollect, but what she said fueled him up for the rest of his existence. "Excuse me sir... Are you a hero?"' She asked him, catching him by surprise.

"N-no.. Do I look like I am wearing a cape or anything like that?" Was his response, but her final reply was what triggered him...

"Silly officer.. You don't have to wear a badge or a suit or anything like that! It's right here," She said, tapping her chest before continuing. "Right here that proves if you're a good guy.. You just gotta be brave!" After that they continued to talk, heck they talked till the sun dropped and the kid's parents found her talking to him. They quickly went over to guide the child away, apologizing to the officer for her interruption. But before she left, she placed something in his hands, a small flower.

The next year were significantly better with crime dropping and plummeting to the floor, and he soldiered it through with a new found courage, yet he felt something, a presence following him. That feeling would go on for weeks, and in some occasions he caught a mysterious individual nearby observing him. It had been about three years since he worked under a badge, and on new years week, the officer was offered to work upstairs, in the federal district. It came with a catch, he would be joining ARGUS.

A gifted agent, and a gifted killer on command. That was what the government had in mind when Gerard's name came to the table. As a attachment to the ARGUS agency, he pretty much did what was needed to be done in order to accomplish the assignments given to him. To the general eye he was an able investigator and an exceptional member to the agency, but there was another side of him and another side of the government in which he works with.

With access to information and weapons agent Lewis knew a few dark things about the ARGUS, one of those secrets being himself. He was an agent by the books, but when given the order he becomes an assassin willing to take a life away if was necessary. To the federal government, sometimes a body bag is better than a jail cell, that is why they have people like him.

Other information:
Personality: Gerard is not necessarily a guy who follows protocol. He is determined to get the job done through whether it be legal or illegal means that could bring the threat of being charged and arrested. The agent can be laid back or stern and overall serious depending on the task at hand. He can also be reckless, willing to go to extreme bounds to get the task at hand done.

Equipment: DEFAULT- Two P99 handguns ((No additional ammo carried)) One Kimber 1911 handgun ((Three spare magazines)) Silencer ((Fits on the 1911)) Piano Wire, Cellphone, Two Zip Ties

In some situations he might take along a few more items such as a Taser or a rifle or even a Kevlar vest.

Disadvantage notice: *He is human and can be wounded and possibly killed like one. There is no immunity towards bullets or any powers.. Just skills and equipment.*

Superhero Name: Batman

Civilian Identity: Bruce Wayne

Appearance: "I am vengeance...I am the night...I am BATMAN"

Superhero Name: Superman

Civilian Identity: Clark Kent, also known as Kal-El


Powers and Abilities: Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. By leap tall buildings in a single bound, I mean that he can fly. Also he has heat vision, x-ray vision, near invulnerability, super hearing, and ice breath. Don't forget the ice breath. Superman's Kryptonian physiology allows him to absorb light from our yellow sun, which the source of his immense power. His Achilles' heel is Kryptonite, radioactive pieces of his home planet that render him powerless. Prolonged exposure to Kryptonite radiation is lethal to Superman.

I think he gets my approval for the usage of All-Star Superman alone. XD

Also yay, Eilidh was accepted. ^_^ And everyone else looks pretty cool. Looks like this will be all kinds of fun.

So essentially we could do with a Wonder Woman to round out the big three. . .

Well, I'm interested but have no idea who I want to play as or who I can reasonably pull off.

We have a severe lack of female members, we could use with someone like wonder woman, hawkgirl, stargirl, zatanna, catwoman(iffy), batgirl, starfire, raven or black canary(heads up with her her and green arrow will be married already in this storyline so if noone is her I will probably mention her in my posts as a side character

So...did Batman get accepted? Sorry his profile's kind of lengthy, but and compared to any wiki I've seen I streamlined it considerably

I think I had suggested Wondie, Supergirl or an OC Flash, at least... Although I guess we can talk some more about ideas when you wake up. ^^;

It would be nice to have female characters other than Eilidh, though. Although I think that no matter who they were they'd end up as the girly one by default. XD

I have a friend who might join up

I see a good future for this RP!

All-Star Superman is probably the greatest Superman comic ever written.

Hey man, my bio for Supes is longer so don't worry about it. And yes, your Batman is accepted. Also your Bat-bio is open ended enough to allow for a character like Nightwing or Robin to be played by someone else if they wanted to which is good.

As it stands right now, I like the make-up of our team and we definitely have enough players to start. I'll try make the first IC post tomorrow if I can. If other players want to come in and hop on board later that's cool. As far as Wonder Woman is concerned, I have a plan to introduce her in a big way down the road if nobody plays as her for this first story.
