Lord Wraith Actually Three Otters in a Trenchcoat

Member Seen 2 hrs ago

Since the days Robin first appeared, teenaged heroes have gathered together in order to become better heroes. Side by side they learn and grow, training to take on evil. United, they are more than just sidekicks, they are the next generation of the world's heroes.

They are the...

~DIVIDED WE FALL~



Robin, Speedy, Wonder Girl, Aqualad and Kid Flash, the founding members of the original Teen Titans stand forever memorialized in stone outside the Titans Tower. Their legacy passed down through generation after generation of young heroes and thus it should come as no surprise that yet another team of Titans has stepped up to fill the hole left by the graduation of the last ones. With the Young Justice team abandoned, the Teen Titans are the premiere and only team of young heroes left. With a constant changing roster, the team has seem many iterations over the years with the title of leadership being passed down from heroes such as the original Robin, Cyborg, Starfire, Beast Boy, Wonder Girl and presently Rose Wilson, the fifth Ravager.

As the current leader of the Teen Titans, Rose Wilson is the last remaining member of her iteration of the team. For the most part, the current team are new to the hero dig, although graduated members occasionally drop by to assist. But with new enemies constantly on the rise and an even greater threat to the Titans looming over them, it's up to Rose to find new Titans to fill the void left by those who have moved on and matured out of the team. But putting together a team of Titans has never been easy and Rose must bring her team together and get them to put their differences aside in order to stand against whatever fate throws against them.

SETTING:

The Titans operate out of a 'T' shaped tower located along the Bay of San Francisco. It was designed by the former Titan, Cyborg, and was built by the San Francisco city council, in exchange for which the Titans are responsible for dealing with the city's supervillains. The outside of the tower features a sculpture commemorating the founders of the Titans, Robin, Kid Flash, Aqualad, Wonder Girl and Speedy.

The tower houses a memorial for fallen Titans. It contains statues of almost all of the dead Titans, including those who had served with the team very briefly.

The following Titans were memorialized:

  • Aquagirl
  • Dove
  • Golden Eagle
  • Hawk
  • Kole
  • Omen
  • Terra
  • Baby Wildebeest
  • Bushido
  • Pantha

Titans who had statues but were resurrected through one means or another had their statues removed. Additionally, the tower also houses a hall of mentors which depicts the Titans' various mentors along their students. For example the statue of Batman depicts both Tim Drake as Robin and Dick Grayson as Robin despite the latter now assuming the title of Batman. Likewise Superman's statue depicts him with both Superboy and Supergirl as both have been members of the Titans.

Each Titan is given a personal quarters which can decorated and outfitted as they please. Outside are several gardens that were started by Starfire during her time with the Titans however they've been maintained and often used by those Titans seeking solitude and solace. An advanced virtual reality training room was installed by Bart Allen using his knowledge from the twenty fifth century. On the top floor of the tower is a 'War Room' from which the Titans manage their activities and communications. Ever since Rose has taken leadership of the Titans, she has also used this room to hunt down criminals in an effort to turn the Titans into more of a proactive course. The League has mixed feelings on this course of action believing the Titans would be better off merely training with one another. Aside from this the Tower houses a shared lounge, kitchen and dining room.

A FEW THINGS TO NOTE:

This RP is a spiritual successor to Teen Titans Vol. 3, as such it will be for the most part ignoring the 'New 52'. As such, the current Robin is Damian Wayne, and the current Kid Flash is Bart Allen. Likewise, Batman is currently Dick Grayson and Tim Drake is Red Robin.

Some changes I've made include Connor Kent and and Cassie Sandsmark having retired to start a life together, likewise with Raven and Beast Boy. Solstice went off to college in order to pursue a career in archaeology like her parents leaving only Ravager as the last Titan thus leading to her promotion as leader.

RULES:

1. Players may create an original character or choose to play a returning canon Titan so long as it does not contradict the canon lore. (IE you can't play Dick Grayson as Robin however you could play Damian Wayne as Robin).

2. Characters can be rejected on the basis of their archetypes. For example if the team already has an accepted 'Wonder Girl', 'Superboy' and 'Miss Martian', another heavy hitter would be rejected. Likewise, too many 'Robin' type characters will lead to the same thing. The goal is to have a team reflective of one that would be found in the pages of the DC Series.

3. In line with above rule, do not make your character well rounded, give them weaknesses and flaws. Limitations in their skills and abilities, reasons to make them need a team to support them. Additionally, give your character room to grow and develop. It's always fun to have a new power show up down the line, just give the GM a heads up first so it doesn't look like you're godmodding.

4. It should be noted that backstories are not part of the CS. This is because I want to encourage player interaction in the IC. Players will actually require their characters to talk to each other in order to learn about them. That said, while you are free to discuss the IC and drop hints in the OOC, I ask that you refrain from downright telling us everything about your character.

5. Character sheets will not be accepted until the GMs have had time to look over the CS thoroughly. This not only ensures that we the GMs have time to read through Character Sheets appropriately but also that you the Player are receiving proper critique as well as a solid community to interact with in the In Character Threads. We appreciate your patience with this.

6. All Character Sheets must be submitted to the GMs in the provided or similarly laid out format. Character Sheets which do not use an organized skeleton will be rejected and asked to comply with a standard. Displays of impatience towards acceptance will result in an immediate denial. The GMs have lives outside of roleplaying (unfortunately :P) and may have their time restricted during the week and/or weekend. Have patience and a positive attitude and you will receive a response.

7. You are your character, so act like them. Create or portray their mannerisms, powers, and ideals to how they have been established in the game. BE the character, not just yourself with the character's powers. The notes section of your CS has been provided for such a reason, use it to help yourself remain consistent in character portrayals.

8. Writing expectations for this roleplay are at least a two (2) paragraph minimum per post. Three (3) to five (5) paragraph posts however would be awesome so long as you're not simply chewing the scenery. Proper spelling and grammar is also expected but small mistakes here and there are understandable. Blatant offenses will be called out.

9. You are encouraged to post at least once per week. If there are any outside factors as to why you aren't able to post, please let the GMs know. If you find yourself in a plot with another player and they disappear, do your best to move on without them and quickly finish the arc to the best of your ability, or ask for the help of a GM. If you stop posting for two (2) weeks without a message in the OOC, your character will be listed as 'inactive', and after a further week of inactivity, your characters will be expelled, and dealt with as necessary in the IC, whether killed or used as needed and then discarded. Please if you know you’re going to be absent or simply have lost interest in the RP, just let the GM know.

10. No God-Modding or metagaming. This refers to controlling or manipulating another player's character in way that is completely self-beneficial and not pre-approved by the other player. This also includes being untouchable against NPC characters as well as being all knowing. Keep your character humanized or risk being expelled from the RP.

| NAME: |
Rufus Charlie Specter


| ALIAS: |
Accelerate.
The Hub City Speedster.


| ABILITIES/SKILLS/EQUIPMENT: |
Kinetic Manipulation:
Unlike the Flash and his fellow speedsters Rufus is not connected to the speed force. His abilities comes from his metegene and he is able to manipulate kinetic energy around and within himself. Using this energy to perform a large amount of superhuman feats.

Super Speed:
His most notable use for his kinetic manipulation is his speed. He generates and absorbs kinetic energy at all times, using it to increase the vibrations within his cells and greatly increasing the work load his cells can handle allowing him to move at super human speeds.

Super Strength:
More akin to enhanced strength. Rufus's strength is above that of regular humans as to prevent his body from breaking into small pieces while moving at super speed. It's a biproduct of the massive influx of kinetic energy in his body.

Super Reflexes and Dexterity:
When the energy hits his brain all of his senses becomes hyper alert, allowing him to follow a speeding bullet with his eyes and catch it with his teeth. His superhuman dexterity is the product of him practicing his agility while moving at super speed.

Genius Intellect: Rufus can read at approximately 60 times the speed of the quickest readers of mankind. Allowing him to take in great amounts of information in no time. Thus he's a genius ranking among the smartest young minds in the world.

Super durability: Rufus heals no where near as fast as the Flash family, but due to him constantly absorbing and generating kinetic energy he is able to mitigate a lot of physical damage to his body, allowing him to feign super durability. He's been shown to be able to handle getting hit by Superboy in the face without breaking a bone.

Energy Management: While it is completely possible for him to use his powers to overcharge objects with kinetic energy to increase their durability or even cause them to become unstable, so unstable they would explode he rarely does that as he thinks it's highly unreliable. It is also possible for him to transfer some of his kinetic energy to another person, giving them a part of his power for a limited time. He does not want to use this as he can not predict the outcome of it.

Hero training: Rufus have been trained by the Urban Shaman of Hub City, The Question. Vic Sage taught him basic martial arts but mostly how to make sure to always use his powers to allow himself extra time to scope out a area, to always allow as little margin for error as possible.


| LIMITATIONS AND WEAKNESSES: |
Rufus's speed requires time to rack up. He can at any moment reach speeds of 300 Kilometers per hour with the kinetic energy stored in his body while it's in 'resting mode'. His usual combat speed is somewhere between Mach 1 and 2, but with enough time and momentum to generate enough energy he could reach Mach 3 or 4.
Rufus is unlike the Flahs's not a very chill guy. He takes things seriously at all times and is quick to anger, he refuses to admit that he's wrong and always thinks himself to be the smartest guy in a room. He's a fan of claiming to be 'objectively right'.
His most notable weakness is momentum, would Rufus get stopped from moving and thus generating energy his powers would diminish quickly.
He is completely without a connection to the speed force, and he can thus not use the many utility aspects of speed like the Flashfamily can.


| SAMPLE POST: |
The car bumped on the dirt road, a pot hole had been the culprit. The truck kept going without much of a hitch. The driver's head turned behind them as the sirens were heard behind them. A sports car blew past them followed by four police cruises. The driver looked at the passenger and scoffed. "You gonna catch that?" He asked. The man's name was Harvey, and next to him was his son, Rufus.

Rufus nodded. "I probably should, shouldn't I?" he looked at his dad whom pulled the car over. "You have a disguise?" And Rufus shook his head. "Neh. I would only need that if they actually could get a look at me." His dad smiled "Take this." He said, handing Rufus the yellow trucker hat and the black shades. Rufus took them and looked back at his dad. "Cheers pops." He said, putting on the hat and the shades, the turned the cap around on his head a bang of his hair poking out of the cap as he took off a cloud of dust being left behind him.

"Damn that kid's fast." Harvey said to himself.
Following the sound of the sirens Rufus soon caught up to the cops, the three minute run had given him enough juice to easily outrun the sports car. The black and yellow streak his clothes left as he sped by the police cruises letting them know that their job was finished. Speeding up next to the driver's window, Rufus sent his fist through the window, knocking the driver unconscious. He unlocked the door and opened it, getting in he pushed the knocked out driver to the passenger seat and slowed the car down to a skidding halt. As soon as the car had stopped he vanished in a blur again.


| NOTES: |
Thinks the Flash Family is idiots for leaving room for error.
Is a perfectionist.
Sourpuss.
Prone to random spats of sarcasm.
Polite most of the time unless ticked off.

Need a picture!
Appearance is something like this, but with wings

| NAME: |
Eric Abernathy


| ALIAS: |
Microbat;


| ABILITIES/SKILLS/EQUIPMENT: |
Echolocation: He can send out a chirp that bounces off of walls to give him an idea of what is ahead of him. The sounds come back to him phenomenally fast, as they do with real bats. He can use this advantage to create a clear mental image of his surroundings, even in total darkness.

Flight: By flapping his wings, he can take flight, gracefully and briskly escaping any standard pursuers. In flight, he can make sharp turns and fast stops, though none instantaneous.

Shriek: His vocal chords are capable of producing high-frequency tones inaudible to human ears, but capable of destroying glass, or likely finding a frequency that can resonate with materials such as steel or bone.

Smell: He can identify a person's smell, even when its masked, as an individua,l with little that can prevent its accuracy. The most common identifier he uses to trace smells is an individuals blood, when available.

Strength: In order to flap his wing-membrane and keep himself off the ground, his arm muscles are beyond even peak standard human limits. Due to the sharp turns, his abdomen and constantly poised legs are also quite muscular.

Transformation: Selectively, Eric can choose to transform into an Man-Bat hybrid, coated in dark, yet soft and shining brown fur, gaining a paper thin membrane bridging his forearms to his lower ribs, as well as a snout, large ears, red eyes, and, large retractable talons on his feet.


| LIMITATIONS AND WEAKNESSES: |
His echolocation ability can detect textures and even identify individuals in a crowd, if it is relatively still, however it can be confused by frequent turns, movement, or excessive noise. At this moment, he has only found a frequency that resonates with glass, despite other materials being well within his range. Unfortunately, these continued shrieks quickly tire out his larynx. He only gains super strength, flight, and other physical augmentations when transformed, however his sensory abilities and shrieks are more reliant on his internal organs, so they require no change.


| SAMPLE POST: |
Dropping like a cannonball into the ocean, Eric fell headfirst above the streets and roadways of Chicago. Throwing his neck up and following through with the rest of his body, he snapped his arms away from his chest and flashed his wingspan like a trenchcoat. It looked like he was cruising through deep space beyond the speed of thought as the inconsistent tones of light groped for the corners of his eyes, streaming away from him only for thousands more to find him. He cancelled his descent and instead went gliding far above the busy streets below. By no means was his glide at a constant elevation, though. He swayed and threw his arms back constantly, raising his shoulders like he was rowing a boat.

A screaming infant was whaling, practically baying for help. He too was traveling downward.

"Hold on, child--I'm coming," Eric knew that he would only scare the child with his words and appearance, but they still functioned to help overcome his own anxiety at the situation.

Locking in on its location, he balled up his fists before finally throwing himself into a position to catch it, with his back facing the cars below and wings spread wide open, he made himself a "catchers' mitt" to the diving baby "ball". Tensing up for a moment, he finally was able to catch it. Wrapped in a small blue blanket, he was as soft as could be, but Eric didn't dare let it impact against his own chest, so he wrapped his arms around it, comforting it with his own heartbeat before gradually spreading one wing. With the other, he slipped the child into his backpack before straightening his stance and facing upward.

From there, he made a thousand labor intensive flaps to return the infant to the apartment he'd fallen from.

| NOTES: |
-Is inquisitive and adventurous
-Is very interested in sciences, particularly his own biology
-Created by an Aztec cult
-Speaks English and some Spanish
-Does not grow in size much when he transforms
-Increased muscle mass increases his pain threshhold
-Was born in Chicago
-Suffers from insomnia
