You have heard of the Justice League? Yes, of course you have, who on this planet hasn't. What of Young Justice, the team of sidekicks and apprentices, who just last year stopped the Tomorrow Woman and her insane plans? I was one of them for a while, that is correct, but not any more. I no longer think their methods are enough to protect this world. Just as prevention is better than cure, we must seek out the root of evil before it flowers into something far more sinister.

For this reason I have been tasked with forming a team, one unlike any other. We will work in the shadows. We will take on the missions the League dares not. We will cross the lines that 'good' men cannot, all in the name of protecting the innocent. We will do what must be done, even if it blurs the line between right and wrong.

If we do our jobs right no one will even know we have done a job at all. We will not be celebrated as heroes. We will be the monsters on the side of angels.

We will be Outsiders.

Fenrir

The year is 2022. The Justice League is getting older, but with the aid of Young Justice they are just managing to keep criminals and evildoers in check. However even these mighty champions cannot solve every problem. There are some problems that they simply cannot be seen dealing with. The issues presented by Clara Kendall prove that. Its time for a new team.

This game, set in an alternate future DC comics universe, will explore what it means to really be a hero. The sacrifices that must be made, the costs that demand payment, the lines that have to be crossed. Just like in the real world things aren't going to be black and white. Every action and choice will have a consequence, some good and some bad.

The Outsiders is actually a spin-off from Kid Lanterns long running Young Justice RP, a concept I've never seen before on this site. In essence this will allow us to share a continuity, opens up story telling potential, helps with universe building and gives us the option of crisis crossovers further down the road.

I'm looking for a small (About four or five), dedicated group of players to take on the roles of a group of misfits and outcasts, anti-heroes and reformed villains. The type of guys that would never make it on the Justice League or Avengers, but might just have what it takes for the Outsiders. Characters should preferably be OC's, but you can put new spins on preexisting DC characters. Ideally I'm after a real mix of powers and personalities. Diversity is the key to a good superhero team in my opinion. Check characters tab for CS Skeleton.

@Divine Darkness – Like the sheet (I joined YJ after you left, but I remember liking Madcap the first time round as well). Only one small question. What has Rikki been up to since leaving YJ?

Thanks for the compliment. =) As for what she's been doing since... I'll come up with something.

So before I make my character sheet I have a question to ask. Do demons exist in the DC cannon? Sorry I'm not super familiar with the source materials.

So before I make my character sheet I have a question to ask. Do demons exist in the DC cannon? Sorry I'm not super familiar with the source materials.

of course, haven't you seen the Constantine TV show or Teen Titans?

Ive never heard of Constantine. I have seen teen titans and that's where I got the idea from. I just didn't know if Trigon was actually a demon or something else. Also I saw it ages ago so my memory is a bit rusty.

@Razqua - Yeah, they do exist, though like you I'm not that clued up on them. Here's a wiki page about the DC version of Hell and one linked to the DC Database for demons. Hope that helps.

Thank you.

Name: Joshua Keyes Alias: Ω (Omega) Age: 27 Personality: He has unstoppable determination and a will as strong as steel. Beyond that though, he's a fun-loving guy and a great big goof. Powers: He has immense strength at his disposal, being able to lift at his best five thousand tons of sheer weight. He is able to control how gravity affects his mass, allowing him to weigh almost nothing or how much he normally would; five hundred tons. Due to his super-dense muscle, bullets and other physical damage do barely anything to him. He can shrug off more brute force than any modern tank could. At max density his muscle is as tough as adamantium. Weaknesses: If it can cut through metal, it can cut through him. In other words, energy and heat-based attacks. Magic will work too. Appearance: Joshua has skin as dark as midnight, and is bald. He has bright green eyes that can either look extremely menacing, or as kind and kind can be. He is seven foot nine with a huge chest, and shoulders 2.2 feet wide. And as said before at max weight he is five hundred tons. But he keeps his weight at around 340 pounds. BRIEF Bio: Joshua grew up as an ordinary kid as far as anyone could tell. Didn't know his father, and no one he knew did either as his mother refused to talk about him. But at puberty, it was seen that he was no regular kid. He reached 7'9" when he was sixteen, and was just as big and strong as he is now. He doesn't even know how these powers showed up, or where he got them from. One thing's for sure he intends to find out. What they bring to the team: He's a tank; slow, heavy hitting, and able to take heavy hits as well. He's the one to walk in front and soak in the damage so the other members can work. Notes: Derp?

okay

Name Adam Savage Alias Warpath Age 24 Personality Adam is very smart and analytical and assesses situations before he goes on ahead with his plans. He is extremely tenacious and will never go down without a fight. His knowledge is at incredibly high levels thanks to be trained in both intellect and physical strength for most of his childhood. Because of this he does have a bit of a superiority complex and will think of his plans as being the best for the situation. Politically he is pro government and thinks cynicism is the way of the last and simple-minded. He hates counter culture and thinks rebellion is one of the main contributors to the downfall of society Despite his negative personality traits, Adam is very protective and driven to do what's right. He is very loyal to the government and to his allies. He hates crime and will have no qualms with taking crime fighting to the extremes if all other options will not work. Even though he working for a government agency that is fearful of costumed heroes Adam believes that most heroes can make the world a better place. Powers Energy Weapons: Adam can create weapons made out of pure energy such as swords, staffs, daggers and guns. They function similar to their normal counterparts, but the construct swords and other bladed weapons can cut through most material, he can even change their sizes depending on how much power he puts into the constructs. These weapons are very light and require energy to use and his gun constructs use up even more energy when they fire off energy ammunition in the form of energy blasts of varying size depending on the amount of energy used to power the blast. He can even fire the blasts in rapid succession. Adam can charge his weapons with electricity or change the temperature of the construct to add more power to his weapons, these two abilities can only be used if he has absorbed the right type of energy. Energy Absorption: he can absorb electromagnetic and thermal energy to replenish his reserves of energy that allow him to use his powers. How the absorbsion works is that he can absorb the energy in both the environment around and from attacks, but when Absorbs energy from attacks they can't be very strong otherwise he will take in too much energy. Enhanced Reflexes: Thanks to the energy that he absorbs, Adam has a very fast reaction time and is quick enough to knock bullets out of the air with his construct weapons for a very short time frame. Enhanced Senses: Adam's Energy absorption also grants him heightened senses that are five times more powerful than an ordinary human. Weaknesses All of his weapons must stay in his hands in order to keep from vanishing after a short time frame, but the second he lets go of a weapon then it will vanish in five seconds, this weakness does not apply to the energy blasts that he fires out of his guns. His powers stem from a large well of energy within his body that replenishes itself by not using his powers or by absorbing energy. When Adam is absorbing energy he has a limit to how much he can absorb and if he takes in too much energy than will become overwhelmed with incredible pain. Because his senses are more powerful this also means that Adam can fall victim to attacks that attack the senses more than an ordinary human, his heightened are also tied to the amount of energy he has in his reserves so the less energy he has then the weaker his super senses are. Aside from his energy powers he has the same vulnerabilities as a normal human. Appearance He is six feet and two inches tall. He has dirty blond hair and light blue eyes. He is very well built and has a good amount of muscle. When he is in costume, he wears a bright red and blue spandex body suit and a Kevlar vast. To hide his identity Adam wears visor sunglasses that are extremely durable. BRIEF Bio Adam savage was born to a great military scientist by the name of Simon Savage. Simon had been part of a governmental research and training program to create super soldiers for the US government. Adam at first seemed like a normal boy, but at a very young age he exhibited very strange powers that fascinated his father and he decided to indoctrinate him into the training program. Adam's mother objected to this and threatened to tell the public about his work. Unfortunately, Adam's motehr died in a vehicular accident and Adam was too young to find any suspicion in her death and just mourned her with his father. Without his wife to stop him, Simon Savage made his son spend the rest of his childhood all the way into his early twenties training to be the greatest asset to the US military. They trained him the incredible arts of sword fighting and he particularly loved studying the European fencing styles of the medieval and renaissance period. He took hand to hand combat training and strength training as well as parkour and heavily studying in urban warfare and marksmanship. His father and his colleagues were pushing Adam to the absolute limit in human physical perfection. Not only was his body adapting to the intense training, his powers were also growing stronger as he developed them. His weapons got more complex and dangerous and his reflexes were incredibly quick. The scientists also trained his mind for problem solving and gave him an incredible intellect. Eventually when he became seventeen his training was finished and he was used for covert missions of the up most secrecy, fighting against America's enemies. With the growing fame of the Justice League, the government saw this as an opportunity to have one of their own to pose as a hero for the media and they chose Adam. They adapted his costume to make it look like a little more flashy and like a superhero. They gave him the name Warpath and for a year , he had been working as a superhero to keep on an eye on the non governmental heroes and combat villains. He made friends with Barry Allen during his early work and impressed with Adam's powers he introduced him to the Outsiders a team that was made to go on the missions that the Justice League couldn't. Adam's superiors gave him orders to keep a tab on the super humans to make sure that they didn't become a menace to American society. What they bring to the team? He is at the peak of human physical perfection and has been extremely well trained in hand to hand combat. He has mastered several different martial arts and is incredibly skilled in the art of weapon fighting, studying from the famous European schools of fencing from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. He is an excellent athlete and is trained in parkour as well as acrobatics. He has a great amount of knowledge and skill in urban warfare and marksmanship. Being trained by scientists as well as military specialists also greatly developed his mental capabilities and he has a great amount of knowledge. He also has a great sense of leadership thanks to his governmental training and work. His tenacity makes him very resilient and keep pushing when in a tough situation. Notes Equipment: Adam has rocket boots that allow him to fly for short distances, and a gauntlet that was both a supercomputer and high-tech communicator. His visor also has infrared vision, a targeting system and thermal vision.

She snapped and after completing a fantastically multistory bomb shelter. She threw all his games in their and when she found him down their she killed him and bricked up the wall, which no one ever figures out... It's uncertain what the state of the town above him was because it changed its name and he couldn't find it. He woke up and over time figured out his powers and after he found an ancient military network he went and surfed the web. He read all over the internet about the superheroes, as well as learning about the internet supernatural. What they bring to the team?: An alternate approach to the world, as well as several useful others who come as his spirits who can be a big help. Notes: I'm going to expand and write mini-sheets for the spirits.

I'll start with 3 or so, and go out and try to battle more latter

Name: Johnny Kenwood Alias: Molotov Age:26 Personality: Johnny's never been one to conform, until he gained his abilities he thought only of himself, however he's now struggling to do the 'right' thing. Throughout his life Johnny has hated authority figures, he's always views himself as being a 'punk' however he tends to think he's cooler than he is. Although inherently rebellious towards strangers, Johnny is warm to those who earn his friendship, however in order to befriend him someone would have to pierce through his cynicism and misanthropy. Powers Johnny has the power of pyrokinesis being able to control and produce Fire/Heat with his mind. Weaknesses Johnny's cynicism can often lead to him being unmotivated and lazy. His ego prevents him from taking most fights seriously. Extensive use of his powers can cause him immense pain and can in extraordinary cases leave him temporarily paralyzed surrounded by flame.

Everything was going to plan until the police arrived, from here ensued a four hour shoot out, during the battle Johnny fell back into the generator room of the factory attempting to escape through the maintenance hatches, however a stray bullet collided with the generator's experimental core which exploded devastating the factory and bathing Johnny in radiation. Five days later Johnny awoke under a pile of rubble and with his new abilities, returning to the shelter he found no sign of his family, now wayward and suspecting Lex Luthor's involvement, Johnny seeks a purpose and a way to strike out against 'the man'. What they bring to the team? An overall sense of misanthropy and sarcasm. In combat a useful source of crowd control and versatile ranged attacks. Notes

Name Tamashi Akuma Alias Blood Walker Age 30 Personality Tamashi is normally calm, collected, cold, and calculating. If pressed to anger he becomes uncontrollable. Powers Human form: Tamashi carries a sword made out of a near indestructible material and is capable of cutting through most things including steel. The sword can also open and close portals to and from hell. In his human form Tamashi is very strong and fast but not to the point of super human. Demon form: In his demon form Tamashi can fly and is much faster than in his human form. He has fangs meant for tearing into his victims. If he feeds on someones blood he can take the form and voice of that person. Weaknesses Tamashi is highly vulnerable to anything that has been blessed(holy water, blessed blades, etc.). His power is also highly dependent on being well supplied with blood. Appearance Human form: Tamashi appears to be a long black haired Japanese man of average height. He has blue eyes. He normally wears a black trench coat and black pants. He also wears a ring that has the face of a dragon on it. Demon form: When in his Demon form Tamashi turns into a red, winged, horned creature with large fangs. BRIEF Bio There once existed a group called Crimson Son. This group existed in secret. Their goal was to create a pure world without sin. A world without evil or crime. They believed they could achieve this if they could suppress the world with power. They needed to make it impossible to oppose them. To this end they created a machine capable of opening a portal to hell. The group extracted many creatures from hell with the purpose of controlling them. They did this collars that made them mindlessly obey orders. One day they pulled a demon baby from the portal. Their machines indicated that even as a baby it was beyond their control. It was incredibly powerful and would only grow more so as it aged. It was first suggested it be sent back through the portal or killed but ultimately Crimson Son decided they would raise it as a member of their group. They named the little demon Tamashi Akuma. It quickly became apparent that the demon needed to feed on human blood to live and to use his power. They provided this by stealing from blood banks. They gave the child a magic ring that made Tamashi appear human and seal away his power while it was worn. Tamashi was raised in the belief system of Crimson Son and took the organizations code to heart. Tamashi was often sent to perform tasks for the group to further their goals. During one trip to hell Tamashi found a magic sword that appeared to be unbreakable. He decided to take it as his own for use when he was in his human form. As the years went by Tamashi was given more and more trust by the group but Tamashi trusted his superiors less and less. Eventually he came to the conclusion that the group had become corrupt and just wanted to rule the world for their own benefit. Tamashi stole the controllers for the demons Crimson Son had amassed over the years and used them to massacre everyone in the organization. He proceeded to use the organizations machine to send all the demons other than himself back to hell and then destroyed it. Tamashi then set out on his own quest to rid the world of evil which led him to The Outsiders. What they bring to the team? Tamashi brings to the team his strong sense of justice. He has the ability to be subtle and use stealth but if necessary he can certainly handle himself in a fight. Notes Tamashi feeds on human blood. The amount of blood he has recently ingested determines how powerful he currently is. He usually gets what he needs from blood banks.

I hope my character isn't too OP. If necessary I can tone him down.

OK, added a tiny bit more to her Bio, if more is needed let me know. Also added a handgun to her equipment. Not a gimmick, an actual gun. Character moved to Character Thread.

Just finished watching Justice League: Throne of Atlantis animated film. Was pretty good. Can't wait until Batman vs Robin comes out. It'll introduce the Court of Owls, Talon, and the Dollmaker (voiced by 'Weird Al' Yankovic). @ Razqua - At first I thought you were going for a Jason Blood/Etrigan character, but it turned out your character is sorta like Hellboy as a vampire =P

Man people love their swords.

@Jonxlathelion - I'm getting a Luke Cage vibe. Only thing is that there's and awful lotta mystery in that bio, like his disappeared dad, tight lipped mom and the source of his powers. I'm getting the impression that your planning to explain this things in the rp. If that is the case could you pm me your plans, just so I have an inkling of how your planning to develop him. If not could you please flesh out the bio. @The Patriarch - Few things with the powers. First off, if his constructs dissipate as soon as they leave his hands then how can he use them as projectile weapons? As to the energy absorption, is he absorbing ambient energy in the atmosphere, or can he only absorb energy that has been fired at him directly? Finally, why are his senses so advanced? The rest of his powers seem to relate to his energy abilities, but that seems tacked on. There's a few things with the bio too, but I'll PM you about them (Things you couldn't have known about, so that's my fault not yours.) @Kablamicus - Good sheet man. Just one request, could you make him a touch older? Not much, just a few years so there's a more diverse age range. @Razqua - Demon Samurai are always cool, but we already have two feral type shapeshifters on the team, Fenrir and Princess Beast. Would you be able to change his demon form to something less 'aggressive'? @Divine Darkness - Great stuff, thanks for adding that. You're in. Add your sheet to the Character tab. For diversity's sake I'd be looking for more female, energy manipulator, support or older characters
