Batman's Log: 7-3-2-0-2-0:

"The end is upon us, and the world is no longer safe. Poisoned by a massive amount of kryptonite during a confrontation with Metallo several weeks ago, Clark - Superman, was left open for an attack from a techno virus of Brainiac's creation. With a weakened body the Kryptonian quickly fell under Brainiac's control and the techno virus allowed him to transform, manipulate, and even enhance Superman's already tremendous abilities. This new Man of Steel has enslaved countless members of Metropolis' populace with the techno virus, as well as several members of the Justice League and up and coming heroes of the Young Justice Academy. We must rise. The heroes must rise, or our futures will end. We can't possibly save them all, but how do you choose who lives and dies?



This is where the game picks up, three weeks after Brainiac's possession of Superman with the technovirus. We're what's left of the League and YJ Academy. Players have the option of aging an existing cannon character, perhaps retire them with a new younger legacy hero in the YJ Academy, or create an original for the game on either team. However they won't all be originals, I need a few cannons or cannon inspired at least. I'll leave a few spots open in the League and list the ones who are in the League with crossed out names being taken/enslaved by Superman and the Brainiac virus. I'm also putting this in Advanced because I'm looking for people who can advance a story. You won't need to ask me when you can take down Brainiac drones or dozens of techno-zombie civilians. If you get separated from the other heroes and your powers aren't as strong or reliable as others, imagine yourself in a situation like the Walking Dead. It's as much about survival going in to stop this thing from spreading past Metropolis city limits. There will also be plenty of sub-bosses in play [enslaved heroes and villains] when in the city limits and the chance any one of us could be enslaved. Most civilians not infected by the virus have been evacuated, however with an estimated two hundred thousand infected civilians still in the city, there are hundreds of survivors trapped in the subways. These people are tired, scared, and starving.

Looks wise I imagine enslaved civilians looking something like the Husks in Mass Effect 3. They can infect you with the techno-virus by biting you to put it directly into your blood stream. Most of the 200,000 civilians turned into machines won't make it out of this. Surviving civilians with only tech going up their arm or part of their body can survive, but if it's anywhere near the face/head already it's all over.



Accepted players/characters go ahead and repost your CS in the Character tab. I'll try and have an IC up before I pass out tonight...

The League consists of:

Superman
The Flash
Cyborg
Batman
Wonder Woman
Green Lantern John Stewart
Ditto
[ACCEPTED] Captain Marvel @rocketrobie2
[ACCEPTED] Doctor Light @TheUnknowable
[ACCEPTED] Gunrat/Bluebird @Jotunn Draugr
[ACCEPTED] Sir William @Weird Tales

The YJ Academy consists of:

Nightwing
Raven
Superboy
[ACCEPTED] Superbeast @The Kid Lantern
[ACCEPTED] the Wanderer @AgeTea
[ACCEPTED] Static @Pacifista
[ACCEPTED] Kid Flash @CallMeChaotix
[ACCEPTED] Starfire @Angel Vicky

So... we have Batman, the Flash, Wonder Woman, and Raven left of the heroes in the League and YJ Academy. I threw my old multiple man hero Ditto in the League but he'll be more of an unlimited army once we get to Super Brainiac's central command. Of course older heroes from the ages of 22+ will be in the League. Batman being of the oldest he's in his early forties, the Flash is mid thirties, with the YJ crew between the ages of 15-20 with Nightwing coming in at 21.

Major differences in this DCU in the year 2020:

• Green Arrow is dead [again lol]
• Instead of iPhones and iPads, with Terrific Tech [Mr. Terrific's company] being the big personal and home technologies manufacturer, folks have tPhones, tPads, and T2 Computers.
• PS4s will be replaced with 'PSAlphas.'
• Villains of Metropolis will also be under Brainiac's control and include: Parasite, Metallo, and Livewire.
• Any characters with tech based weapons are likely to lose them in the gray mass of nanobots currently blanketing over the city remaking it in Brainiac's techno-image. Lots of green and purple bio-mechanical stuff with chrome plated bits everywhere have begun sprouting up.
• Limited intelligence suggests the more colored bio-mech towers to be sentient power sources, massive controlling towers, and robot drone generators capable of defending themselves.
• Green Lantern and Livewire are believed to be enslaved to help power Super Brainiac's war machines.
• The Flash and Raven will lead search and rescue teams to rescue trapped civilians in the subways on opposite ends of the city.
• WW and Batman will lead the remaining heroes in taking down control towers and power sources throughout the city, and gaining access to what Batman believes to be Brainiac's central command.

GM Notes: 12/25/15 - Merry Christmas, and GAME ON!!! IC is up. Still looking for a Co-GM if anybody wants it...

Hero Archetype: Original
Name: Finn Mac Connell
Alias: The Mighty St William
Age: 28
Team: JL
Powers: Finns abilities stem from God and commands powerful divine powers. When he makes a prayer to God asking to become St William, Finn is engulfed in holy light and is transformed into the armored warrior and thus has several abilities. His power comes from both God and prayer so when he is in a holy place then his body absorbs the holy energy created by prayers to fill his reserves of divine power.

Master Swordsmen: Finn is superb swordsmen and is a master in the German school of longsword fencing. He has also developed a longsword fighting style of his own to fit with his incredible powers.

God's strength: St William is strong enough to lift fifteen tons.

God's speed: His reaction time is quick enough to deflect bullets with his longsword and he can run up to 300 mph.

God's Wrath: St William channels divine energy within to create bolts of white lightning. This power is both harmful to both natural and supernatural beings. The power of this attack is determined by how much divine energy he puts into it.

Hand of God: By focusing his mind St William can move stuff in a way very similar to telekinesis through the use of manipulating divine energy.

God's Mercy: This power allows Finn's body to heal at a slow pace and while it won't save him from death, it can heal fatal wounds after a long rest. Resting on holy ground will speed up the process and rejuvenate him.

Judgement: This is his most dangerous power and it causes him to unleash a large blast of divine energy that burns whatever is in its path. This ability uses up the most divine energy and its destructive power makes it dangerous to use populated areas so this is a last resort technique.

Equipment: His armor is made from divine metals and is tough enough to withstand gunfire and allows him to endure large amounts of punishment. His sword was crafted in heaven and thanks to its divine properties it is very deadly to both the living and the dead. It can cut through all earthly metals except silver. It is especially effective against demons and it is his main method of combat. The blade also has the capability of not killing an opponent by Finn simply willing the blade to not cut too deep into his opponent's flesh.

Weaknesses: Silver is like kryptonite to him and it will slowly drain him of his powers. Pure iron can also get past his divine defenses, and while his well of divine power is large it is not endless and he will run out of energy if he uses too much of it for too powerful of attacks.

Personality: Finn for as long as he could remember has always been a devout Catholic and had cynical view of the modern world ever since he was a young man. He has a deep dislike for artificial life thinking that it is unnatural and an abomination against God. His views became more negative after the technovirus enslaved several heroes and innocents. His powers that he attained from God were a sign to him that it was time to purify this wicked world of the sins of science and all abominations.

For too long has good people sat by and let the minions of the devil bring the world to ruin, these were his views on the current state of things. Finn will not let others insult his faith without some very heated words. Because of his special powers Finn has developed a holier than thou attitude and will look down upon non believers as being misguided.
Appearance:

Brief Bio: Growing up religious in the twenty first century was not easy for Finn do to changing opinions on organized religion and the arguments of the scientific community. Ever since he was a little boy Finn faced ridicule for his Catholic beliefs and school was a hard time for him thanks to bad education system and rampant spread of toxic neo progressive ideologies. He hated having to defend himself and his beliefs from the constant bullies, but it was a harsh reality.

One of the first things that his parents taught him was that the world was cruel and that it was important to never expect society to do you many favors. He was one of the luckier members of the millennial generation because his parents never babied him and they made sure he had good work skills unlike so many of his generation. He also didn't fall into the trap that was collage and took a cheaper route to save him unneeded debt.

So while his childhood had been ruff and full of challenges to his faith, Finn still pulled through with his devout belief in the Catholic church. Carpentry was his chosen career and he moved to Metropolis when he started his job. For a good while he was satisfied with life, that was until Brainiac took possession of Superman and brought the city's villains under his control. In his most desperate hour, Finn prayed to God for aid and he was answered by transforming into a mighty warrior of God.

With his new powers and his hatred of Brainiac and all synthetic life forms reaching new levels, Finn is ready to bring back virtue and faith into this sinful world.
Notes:

Yeah man I accepted him, he's good to go LOL. Edit that post and just repost it in the Character tab!

@The Kid Lantern I feel like my Wally CS sheet isn't good enough, is it?

Because everyone else has so many paragraphs in their CS sheets, and I don't have many.

You wanna polish it off and let me help you in a titanpad?

~KL~

@The Kid Lantern Thanks.

To any new heroes Superbeast hasn't dealt with yet, know that a small house sized red Thanagarian Snare Beast will scare the shit out of nearly everyone. In this, Snare Beasts will hunt Thanagarians from skyscraper sized trees, or they would if they still existed. That's why they're so massive, because to a skyscraper sized tree it's like a cat on a limb.



Hope a few of you guys at least looked at those 12 images I linked for reference! Remember in-game they'll be shades of red!

~KL~

@The Kid Lantern Is Superbeast cannon? Because last time I checked, Beast Boy was Garfield Logan and his grownup self is Animal Man.

He's an alternate take on BB. His origin is tied to Superman now.

And BB only grew up to become Animal Man in the Titans of Tomorrow in the pre-New52 universe, where the Titans grew to be an evil League of sorts. Loved his look in that though...

~KL~

@The Kid Lantern I like you take on Garfield, who is he now, Gar-El? (I'm joking.)

@The Kid Lantern Now I want to try to alternate Kid Flash somehow, because that would be cool.

What if Wally was a clone of Barry, and was named Wally Allen. But that probably would not work, I do want to alternate him somehow too, since that seems cool to do.

It's still Garfield Logan, it's just instead of getting bitten by a green monkey in the congo he was in Superman's Fortress with his folks and was attacked by alien wildlife instead. I changed BB and made him Superbeast to go at the character and power set from a different angle, the only thing I've ever seen done with Wally we could mimic in the game would come down the line like the other things we discussed. But we COULD switch it up if you want later on if it's something you're set on doing. Shoot me a PM and I'll tell you more...

~KL~

Really excited to start soon.

It has begun...

~KL~

so this Beast Boy is like Ben 10

so this Beast Boy is like Ben 10

To a degree yeah. None of his shifts look like superheroes themselves though LOL
