The Justice League. The Big Seven. The Brave and the Bold. Earth's Greatest Heroes.

THE Super Team.

Formed five years ago in the wake of a threat too severe for any one of it's member to handle alone, the League has served as earth's first, foremost and greatest defense against all those that would threaten her. They have proved not only their worth, but their very necessity time and time again, giving hope to a world that would have long since lost it without them. They are a constant and reassuring presence that humanity can, and will survive any threat.

Or at least they were. . .

Not a single member of the League has been seen in over a month. Superman hasn't been glimpsed soaring the skies of Metropolis, nor have Gotham criminals been suffering broken bones and humiliating beatings at the hand of the Batman. The Magnificent Seven have vanished, and left not a trace as to their whereabouts. It has been peaceful in their absence thus far, but a frightened world holds it's breath, waiting for the other shoe to drop. And it will drop, have no doubts about that.

It's only a matter of time for someone - or something - to take advantage of an earth that lacks it's greatest champions. . .



Still with me after all that boring backstory? Good, let's continue.

In Justice League: Legacy the players character will have the unenviable task of filling in for the Justice League. Those guys left some impressively big shoes to fill, and although it's a task of Herculean proportions it falls down to you to fill them. Also while your out there protecting the planet from would-be despots, tyrannical inter-dimensional God's, and maniacally murderous clowns you'll also be digging into the mystery of what actually happened to the Big Seven.

I'd like to leave character creation as open as reasonably possible, so that means you have the option to make an OC or redesign a canon character. Hell, maybe you'd like to try and make a villain who decides it's time to have a go at redemption, the skies the limit here people. My only requests is that your character makes sense within the general confines of the DC universe, and that there is an actual reason for them to be a part of this new Justice League.

While the RP wont be a sandbox style, my GM-ing style and preference does allow for a scope of player independence. While I don't mind having to hold the hands of a group of passive Peters, and that I do have an overarching story line in mind, I would like to see any potential players volunteer up their own ideas for side and sub-plots. This is going to be your world as well as mine, so take the reins people!

Well, with that all out of the way, is anyone interested?

Any questions just ask.

Now has a OOC

So this kind of reminds me of 52, which is a good thing because 52 is amazing. So... Interest pending my ability to actually get something figured out I guess. ^^;

YOU STOLE MY IDEA!!!! Not that I ever followed through with it, but still

Dammit man, I was going to (sometime maybe in the unforeseeable future) make a JL: Legacy RP. Had a logo made and everything. Hell, I even had a sheet in the works for Superman's son. :(

On that note, I have no idea who I'd want to play, or if I'd even have time for this, but mark me down as interested. Good to see you around, Sam!

looks interesting, also hey @Rin!

Mark me down as interested as long as I have time!

Black Sam and I in a superhero roleplay! Just like old times. Okay, I'll bite. Might take The Question (Vic Sage) if that's cool.

I assume the roster is the classic Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, The Flash, Green Lantern, and Martian Manhunter?

I'd like to try too, if possible.
My idea is a guy with a reasonable amount of superstrength and superdurability whose main ability is nullification of any and all even remotely superhuman powers in a short range around him. Probably through the use of an alien eldritch artifact embedded into his body.
Name's "Pighead". Yes, a rehabilitated villain who spent quite a bit of time in Arkham or similar treatment center for crazy supervillains after three dozen bloody superhero murders - his unique shtick was not wearing a costume, coming really close and hitting them in the face with a meat cleaver. He really changed, has healed all of his mental deficiencies and wants to prove it.
Tell me if it's too grimdark, i am mostly familiar with the DC universe as with the place where most of villains are actually mad or posess other mental disorders instead of actually doing things out of sheer evilness or greed.

I'm a sucker for DC stuff, count me in :)

So... You don't know much about the DCU other than Batman then? ^^;

@BlackSam3091 Can I haz Dick-Bats? Or at least a Nightwing considering picking up the cowl in order to fill the obvious void left in Bruce's wake?

@BlackSam3091 Interested.

Would it be possible to have a Mad Hatter-esque character?

Not the actual Mad Hatter, but someone who is indeed mad (crazy, insane, not fully there), but with the Doctor's (Who?) genius 'it works because I say so' attitude. A former villain, whose only real harm was pranks and greedy wants for some merely minor things when you look at the larger super villains. Superpowers would be that madness, genius (though they both could be the same thing), and her ability to contort her body and some extreme acrobatics. Not strong, but quick, slippery, and dangerously clever.

As for the Doctor bit, I made this character long before I saw that show and it struck me with how similar the personality is in certain situations.

Alright... fine....

grumble grumble...

this looks awesome.

SO interested.

@BlackSam3091 Can I haz Dick-Bats?

Thinks for the weird images flapping around inside my head...

I like you

@BlackSam3091 Interested.

I like the idea of a Justice League formed of misfits and outcasts that have banded together to protect the world; people who otherwise would not even come into the public eye having to fill the shoes of the world's greatest heroes.

I believe I shall express my interest as well!

Also @Lord Wraith...... HEY o/

Does this mean you are back? I hope so, would be nice to interact with you again, and @BlackSam3091 as well!

Now if you can convince Hillan and the others to pop over we can have a reunion!

Thanks for all the interest guys! If I don't mention you directly here then it's only because there's only so many ways I can say 'Thanks for the interest, really hope we can have you aboard', without sounding like a pleb. Regardless if you do have any other questions, or would like someone to bounce character ideas off while I get an OOC started then I'm always available here or by PM.

As an aside it looks like a lot of the interest is towards badass normal types, which is fine. But remember, you'll be taking the role of the Justice League, so it would make sense to have some heavy hitters on the roster, otherwise the first time an Imperiex probe rocks up to earth we're gonna be in trouble.

@GreenGrenade Well, you know what they say GG. Great minds steal each others ideas. Either way, I hope you can get on board pal.

@Polyphemus Hey Poly, great to see you! I'd love to see you take on the Question! And as to the roster of the JL then I must admit to flubbing the DC canon somewhat. The League features all it's classic members, plus Cyborg. The reason they get way with still calling themselves the big seven is somewhat of a cheat, as Batman vehemently insists that he's only a reserve member (much like the Justice League cartoon) and as such isn't counted among the regular team, even know he's with them just as much as Superman or Wonder Woman.

@Keksalot Thanks for the interest pal, though I do have some concerns about the sheer level of grimdark there. It sounds more Manhunt than Martian Manhunter to me. I know there is a rich history of DC psychopaths, but remember there's still got to be a vein of campy goodness in these characters. I mean the Jokers a pretty bizarre individual nowadays, a man who cut off his own face just for giggles, but he's still the same guy that used to throw cream pies at cops, and once had a surfing contest with Batman. I struggle to see Pighead in that same light. Of course I'd need to see a sheet before really passing judgement, but I'd just thought I'd air my concerns.

@LadyRunic Sounds like an interesting concept. I could get on board with it, especially as it looks like her crimes were hardly the most severe.

@Lord Wraith Mate, you can have any Dick you like. I'd prefer him still as Nightwing considering taking up the cowl at the start of the RP, but he can definitely work towards taking up the cowl himself. After all, who's better suited than Dick?

_{Jean Paul Valley? No, shutup.}

I might make a magic user.
