In the depths of South America lays a treasure long thought forgotten, created by the Mayans who used it to achieve knowledge well beyond their own. This artifact was able to reach alternate dimensions and allow its wielder to travel at their leisure. However different circumstances over the numerous years have left the artifact still in tact only in two dimensions. One in the universe of Marvel superheroes, and the other in the universe of DC superheroes. Coincidentally in these two universes a pair of men have the artifact in their world domination sights. Lex Luthor, a dangerous and ruthless businessman, and Dr. Doom, a ruthless dictator. They both gathered like minded villains and went into their mission to raid the old temple that the artifact laid. However the Young Avengers and Young Justice caught wind of their arch-nemesis' plan and went in to stop them. Cornered, Lex and Doom are both about to create a much bigger problem than either of them, or either team of young heroes could of anticipated.
In this RP the idea is the two teams ending up going to and from the realities of one another. At the beginning the two teams will be shuffled and potentially stuck in the other reality. After that though the two worlds will open up to one another and there will be jumping to one another. You do have to stick with canon characters but to help make things easier for those who aren't familiar with the characters I am allowing for simplified back stories. Plus you can edit the back story and other things about the character so long as their core characteristics are left in tact. You are allowed to play up too two characters but if you choose to do that you must pick one Marvel and one DC hero. Now in order to help make picking easier I've made a list of who are available to pick from both sides. The two teams can consist of...
Young Avengers:
All filled up, no longer accepting Young Avengers...
Young Justice:
Starfire
Raven
Beast Boy
Cyborg
Wonder Girl
Artemis
Blue Beetle (Jamie Rayes)
Aqualad (Kaldur/Garth)
Ms. Martian
Arsenal/Red Arrow
Jericho
If I left out someone you want to play as, just ask and I'll decide if they're in or not. One notable omission was Miss America on the Young Avengers side. Since her reality jumping powers would ruin the initial storyline. Though I might make her eligible if there's a demand for it, but make it like she can't find the DC reality on her own. The only other thing is when in the Marvel world obviously anyone using the speed force won't be able to harness it. So they'll be able to run on their own preserved speed force power for about 24 hours worth before they lose their super speed.
