I’m hoping to start a Justice League RP. A shorter one with an end goal in sight that I hope everyone will like.
Here’s the premise that I have for it so far:
It was the death seen around the world. Many say that --as cliche as it sounds-- time seemed to pause for just a moment as he fell. Reality set in when he didn’t rise. Reactions were as varied as a choked gasp to a slack jaw, wrought in disbelief. But the realization was the same and it dawned on all eventually:
‘The Man of Steel is no more.’
The White Martians had come from nowhere, but with fervor. Operating so precisely, the Earth seemed unaware until the enemy was at their door. Green Lantern was the first on the scene, quickly followed by Wonder Woman and Superman. Hawkgirl charged in, a personal army all her own. The Martian Manhunter arrived almost last, but attacked with an intensity that carried him to the center of the fray quickly. Batman soon came to aid, gunning for the Warship that was beginning to move for Earth.
The battle was quickly picked up by news stations as the first foot soldiers came in over the city of Los Angeles, but they were quickly met with the might over the Kin of the Seas himself. The second set appeared in the Nevada desert, over a small nondescript town. They seemed to be plagued by a blur of red and yellow that no camera was able to accurately catch. But the White Martians seemed to fall nonetheless. In the outer atmosphere, the heroes held their ground, but the slew continued. Batman steadily made progress through the Warship, hoping to end this quickly. The Manhunter relayed orders, moving the group as a cohesive unit.
But the White Martians pressed on. No one can say when the overwhelming started happening, nor when things started to get worse in the outside the atmosphere. Batman hadn’t been heard from for a few moments and the Lantern seemed more frustrated than usual. Superman became a bit more focused and the Manhunter found himself relaying orders continuously. Diana could feel the heat of an explosion as Hawkgirl brought down a smaller airship with the might only she could muster.
Aquaman held back the enemy with the power that his title held. And the Flash struck hard, without mercy and invisible to the naked eye. His flurry of legs and arms created a dust storm that he almost missed it. He didn’t know what had made him look up, but he did. His eyes could see fire, an object falling to Earth, a meteorite? An attack? It was small, but it didn’t stop burning. Soon there was a small, almost indistinctible flash of light. It hit the burning object with such force that a seismic boom was the result.
“Flash! It’s him, it’s Kal!”
J’onn! What did that mean? What was he--
“Superman is down!”
Barry didn’t need anything else, his mind put it together almost before J’onn spoke, and he was gone. He pushed himself, willed himself to move faster than he ever had before. Diana flew after Kal, a determination to reach him. At that moment, something else could be seen. Much larger, much more terrifying. The warship descended into the earth, a blaze of fire, smoke and debris like a cloud of gnats.
Things had officially gotten worse.
***
Though the battle was eventually won, there was little joy among many. A sense of hopelessness took its place for a time. What else could happen? The Flash was gone, taken somehow. Superman was no more. Batman seemed to be on Death’s door. Green Lantern had disappeared without a trace. The Earth seemed vulnerable.
It’ll be one year tomorrow since Kal-El left the world. Bruce has worked tirelessly alongside the Manhunter to make sure nothing of the sort ever befalls the Earth again. With salvaged alien tech, his mettle, J’onn and Shayera’s knowledge and others, they were able to build it.
The Watchtower. A sentinel floating over the Earth where Earth’s mightiest would keep a watchful eye over her. They’ve become wise, knowing that another attack might yield an even worse fate, and they couldn’t risk that. All of Earth’s heroes would need to stand together.
Will you answer the call?
Welcome to Justice League: The Other Side, where your hero will decide the fate of the world and much more.
------
So this is the working idea I have for the RP. The Justice League will come together for an inevitable threat that I’ve got worked out and will touch on more if I get to an OOC stage. We'll be playing canon heroes throughout the DC universe. I'd ask, as a courtesy, no one start calling dibs on a certain character. It's fine to have one in mind, but calling dibs doesn't automatically entitle you to a character.
Anyone interested?
