So use another teen DC hero as inspiration like I did with Beast Boy in Futures End. List some favorites and I'll help you brainstorm...

I'm not interested anymore. that comment about how its either comedic relief or hero, instead of even considering the two could be together, really doesn't bode well.

Plus you think Batmite is balanced while what I have is imbalanced. Yeah... I don't think you have any idea what I'm saying since what I'm suggesting is nowhere near Batmite levels of OPness.

Clearly you didn't read the post. To quote myself here...

Rule Negation Again, if it's hard to explain then it shouldn't even be listed. You want your guy to successfully walk off a building and on air until he looks down only to fall and pick himself back up again... that would kinda fall in the Regeneration power set. We don't need comic relief as much as we need an actual superhero or two. If your guy doesn't have to follow the rules there'd be no point in having them. No character should have that kinda power outside of a GM.

Still, I'd tie him to the 5th dimensional imps like Bat-Mite, or a genie from another dimension like the Thunderbolt of Jakeem and Johnny.

When I said we don't need comic relief as much as a hero or two, it probably has less to do with your character and more with the fact we already have a couple comedians. NOWHERE did I say Bat-Mite was balanced. Just that if it were my cartoon manipulating character I'd tie him to the 5th dimensional imps or a genie like the Thunderbolt. To be completely clear, you want me as a GM to give you powers that you can't even explain. No GM with any sense could accept that. This is a game about younger heroes operating in Gotham, not 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit: the RP.' I won't go and give anybody reality altering powers so they can proceed to do whatever the hell they want while making a joke of the entire game and the players involved. It's give and take, I can give you a little freedom for the powers that make sense, but if you're unwilling to change some details then you're not likely to get accepted anyway. Trying to put words in a GM's mouth also isn't likely to do you any good.

________________________________________

I'll go ahead and put it this way to anyone who is interested.... I get that a lot of you recycle characters from one RP to the next. I'm guilty of it myself. However, if you're unwilling to work within the rules and CS qualifications of a GM and make an edit or two or rework a characer you've already been shopping around, then you're better off starting your own RP.

Still a WIP, but here's what I have so far. I'd like to know if you're cool with the powers. Also, anything specific you want for the sample post?



EDIT: Minor update to the CS. I'm tired, though, so I'll finish it tomorrow.

looking at the Topic's low post count and how long its been up, I'd just recommend redoing the whole thing, maybe make it so its the era of Young Justice so you can...

A - Have more villains/varied villains
B - Can tour the world instead of just Gothem (You can put the base in gothem though to keep it as a focus point.)
C - More posters/fresh posters. People are more willing to get into a new RP than a slow going established one.
D - And allow for less 'weak' powersets. Lets be honest, anyone with at least IRL street cop levels of aim with a pistol could off 85% of batman's rogue gallery.

Not gonna do a reboot, and I did a Young Justice series last year. YJ however is a big part of my Advanced JL:FE game. I've already got three people now interested which is about what I was looking for to move forward.

The premise is part of the appeal, taking it outside of Gotham is counterproductive. The villains used thus far have been Mr. Freeze, a failed attempt at a Man-Owl, and presently a Man-Owl army led by a brainwashed Amazonian Talon. The team's got less than a few months experience and I'd say so far it hasn't been too bad. I said it somewhere on page one, it's more or less equal parts Teen Titans, Outsiders, and Birds of Prey with a dash of the spice and flavor from the animated Young Justice series. Robin recruited these kids and died before ever really getting to know any of them, and to honor his fallen partner Batman took it upon himself to help them continue their training under experienced supervision. As far as the cops and their accuracy in the field, it's Gotham in a world of superheroes. Suspension of disbelief is kinda key even with the grittier more realistic comics.

I've got a plan with where I want the RP to go and the villains in store. After a visit from members of the Justice League things will pick up and we'll bring in the next few recruits.

I'm relatively new to DC but this has my interest. I'm gonna take a closer look and then see if I can handle it, but for now count me as interested.

@The Kid Lantern Sorry, was about to work on the CS when I read some terrible, heartbreaking news. Will have to leave it for tomorrow.

I'm interested, and working on a new character. He has absorption powers, a la Amazing Man (or Kevin Levin).

Welcome back! Amazing man could only absorb types of energy attacks and the like, Kevin Levin was more like Marvel's Absorbing Man LOL

Still, interesting choice! Can't wait to see what you come up with...

I'm still interested. I'm just having trouble thinking up a character. What do you think about someone who opens portals?

I'm cool with that power set. Nobody's submitted a complete CS yet so have at it!

Absorbing man once touched Mjyolnir and turned into a piece of dwarf star.
The DC equivalent might be the Nth metal of thanagarians.
If @Prints Avoid want to be a portal master, then I have no problem with either bringing back my atlantean or perhaps a ring-er or demi-god
