@SugarRush Ya can't rush the character development process.

Also, I want to play an angry rage monster for as long as possible.

@FacePunch check out this video, the guy explains the team's history really well and what makes them unique among many other heroes.

@FacePunch Of course. So now there's still a chance Whirlpool might get to try and apprehend him during one of his rages.

The Doom Patrol are a team that need more love and to be brought back to their roots of being the strangest superhero team around.

If you love the Doom Patrol so much why don't you marry them?!?

Because you can't legally marry a fictional team. Also I'm not a morman

@Weird Tales True love always finds a way!

@GreenGrenade Hit me up when you're free dude, we can collab a conclusion to Pistolera and Sandstorm's 'romance'.

Will do. It's not very convenient, but I'll probably only be available in two days's time, as I've been notified that the electricity will be out for for "troubleshooting" starting tomorrow. So we'll see, I guess.

No bother cough, keep me posted.

@Weird Tales Alright we get it, you like the Doom Patrol, New Gods, Justice League: Gods and Monsters, and the new trailers for the DCU movies. No need to derail the OOC on the 'Few Things I Like Train'. Which is kind of your shtick when joining a thread. If you want to educate people on how great the Doom Patrol is, feel free to make a Doom Patrol RP but until then this is a Teen Titans RP and I would prefer if the majority of conversation in this OOC related to the IC, plot, characters and players. I mean the occasional derailment is alright, but there's really no need to preach about another IP.

So.. We gonna hammer this leader shit out? Anyone have any opinions, OOC or IC preferences alike. I personally am not sure I'd like to lead, even if Rufus makes a excellent tactician and potentially also leader. (Dat Charisma, doe.) And I feel like Isaac has the image to inspire and motivate peeps, but he's one bad day away from going Superboy Prime on us.
Not to mention they both left the rest of the team in the dust. Whoops.

Sandstorm would be a terrible leader. I'd say Pistolera from an IC standpoint if it were not for her sneaky-sneakiness. Rufus, Sentinel, Microbat, and Amazon all come to mind. Thermo has heart, but I've not seen him take too much initiative. Eric's a bit antisocial, but I think could make a decent second in command. Rufus would be a good choice, but yes, that charisma. I'd say Sentinel, but I think the job would give him a stroke from the stress. Wonder Boy has the power and relation to the trinity and is a relative powerhouse. F-Bomb has power enough, but I included impaired judgement in her powerset.

We need a Damian. He could finally have grown to mid/late teens depending on when this is.

Wait, you want a Robin-esque character to lead but then ding Pistolera for being sneaky-sneaky which is highly akin to a Robin reporting to Batman. That's humorous.

Stop pointing out my hipocrisy in front of everyone, dammit! Still, Pistolera would actually be my first choice.

If it helps I did ask if our team could call the jsa and Doom Patrol for back-up, sorry if that went off on a tangent.

What about Stunt Devil?

The Justice League bailed the team out of their fight with Lobo. I'm not planning on having them or any other team become a reoccurring deus ex machina to resolve every situation.

What about Stunt Devil?

At fifteen with no real previous hero experience, I can't see the team electing him to give them orders. Especially not with the likes of Sentinel and Rufus who both opted not even to wait for the rest of the team.

We have a Krpytonian to do that.

My thoughts on the subject?

Evan is arguably the most charismatic member of the team, as well as the one of the most physically powerful. When you take his gear into account he's also an incredibly well rounded combatant. He's already shown a 'team spirit' and consideration for the other Titans when he used his shield to block the shots and attacks of Lobo that were meant for another member of the team. However he is also seems immature and irresponsible, while his party boy outlook might not mesh very well with the coils of leadership.

Isaac, while bringing favourable comparisons to Superman, has been described several times as a 'rage monster'. Not a good trait in a leader, as one needs to be cool minded to make reasonable decisions. He can be our hammer or our anvil, but isn't equipped to ever lead. Not only that but he seems to have some issues with his unapproachable power levels already, feeling he stands alone from his teammates. Increase that by giving him command of the Titan's and that's just another level of separation. And, like Hillan noted, he charged off without the team, and it's not the first time he's done that. A leader needs to lead. They can't do that several blocks away.

Accelerate is apparently a great tactician. We haven't seen evidence of that yet in IC, but admitedly there's been very little chance to showcase his ability, so I'll let that slide. What has been shown is that he's as gun-ho as Isaac is, constantly leaving his allies in the dust. Difficult to avoid when your a speedster, but unlike Isaac he never even told the rest of the team he was leaving to combat the zombies on his own. A leader needs to communicate, and Rufus rarely does that. In fact until that last post he barely said a word to anyone else.

Pistolera shares many of Accelerate's pros and cons, being possibly the most well trained member of the team, with a vicious tactical streak. She's also the closest thing that the team has to canonical Rose Wilson, and in unknown situations like this people like to cling to whatever shreds of familiarity they can find. Maybe the team would vote her in precisely because she's like Rose. However she's also very disparaging (Although at this early stage of the game they all seem pretty critical of their allies) of her team-mates, while quite obviously having secrets of her own. Personally I'd want Pistolera as leader for story-telling reasons, but I don't think the IC team would regard her that highly.

JC has an interesting power set while also displaying some concern for his fellow team mates when he approached Rose about her attitude towards Isaac. Unfortunately he never told anyone that's what he was doing, and then never told anyone Rose was leaving (Not Kindred's fault, of course, as she left then there was a time skip, but it's still going to count against JC.) He's had the least interaction with his team-mates, so for better or worse they're going to be disinclined to vote for him, merely because they don't know him as well.

Rhea, despite being the lest combat inclined, may actually be the best choice for an actual leader. She actually cares about her teammates, and has been one of the few to actively try and befriend the other Titan's. Obviously her lack of training and tactical acumen would be a hindrance, but she can always receive advice from Accelerate, Pistolera etc when the need arises.

As to the others, well I'm afraid I either haven't seen enough from them to judge yay or nay, or I just don't think the role would suit them at all. So in conclusion I would say either Rhea or Pistolera, and since I don't think I can vote for myself then I'm throwing my hat into Rhea's corner.
