You lot are bringing up Teen Titans feels.
I'm swaying my vote for Kori, if it counts. >_>
You see this @Blue Demon! Do you! Give the people what they want :P

Aaand replied, @King Kindred. I personally think that Jon and Kieran's differences in personality will be plenty enough to make them unique; both of them being "strong, honest young men struggling to live up to their beloved father's legacy" would actually be a very interesting dynamic and point of conflict, imo. We'll see, though.

- Courtney can use both powers at once to protect herself from atmospheric damage in high velocity flight
- Receive Courtney's mental commands from a distance
- Attune itself to the user. It is difficult to quickly change the staff's affiliation.
- Enhanced Strength
- Enhanced Agility
- Enhanced Speed
- Enhanced Stamina
- Shooting Stars: A move where Courtney can call forth light forms which disrupt electric devices and organic nervous systems.
- The Converter Belt is attuned to the aura of the wielder much like the Cosmic Staff.
Backstory:
Courtney was very much your average teenage girl in Los Angeles. So average that her family didn't get along. Watching your parents fight was never something she wanted. Nor did she like the divorce. It had been painfully obvious that it was going to happen but the young girl had held out impossible hope against all odds. Hope had nothing against her father, Sam, walking out on them. The months after that were hard on both Courtney and her mother, Barbara. Mainly on her mother who had to struggle to get Courtney's deadbeat father to sign the divorce.
The whole of Courtney's young teen years were the worst. Her grades slipped and quite frankly she was nearly flunking out of high school. It was miserable. Without her best friends she never would have made it. Her friends were highly supportive and kept her afloat more times than Courtney could count. Her safety net. Then after the whole divorce thing was over things were looking up. Courtney and her mother were spending time together again. Time that wasn't marred by the absence of her father. Courtney was even beginning to do better in school.
Then Pat Dugan walked into Courtney's life. At first he was just another guy that her mother was psudo-dating. Courtney figured he'd go away like the rest of the losers. After all the two of them were doing just fine. But Pat continued to bulldoze his way into their lives. He pushed through barely rebuilt walls and his mother was okay with it. Courtney was annoyed by the interloper and her grades began to slip again. This time her friends weren't as supportive of her anger issues or her complaining. She ended up falling into a bad crowd and things continued to fall downhill.
The bottom of said hill soon arrived when her mother and Pat announced that they were getting married. And the joys didn't end there. Not only was she going to get a step-father they were moving to Nebraska! It was just completely unfair. Where the hell was Nebraska anyways? It didn't even sound like somewhere she wanted to live.
Courtney's resentment of Pat continued to grow in Blue Valley, Nebraska. She had a hard time making friends and was generally aloof in school. Though she did befriend Mary and Josh nearly immediately despite her best efforts to the contrary. Things continued in this vein for a while until one day when she was staying home sick from school. Pat and her mother were off working and she had free run of the house (Pat's house). Curiosity got the better of the teen and she ended up in the attic pawing through Pat's old stuff.
In one trunk she found a really strange belt and a few other items. It was only after a bit of quick research she discovered Pat used to be Stripesy, a adult sidekick to a teen hero. The only one in history! Quickly Courtney realized with this stuff she could get back at Pat and mock him! Over the next week she cobbled together a make-shift costume, sparing no (hilarious) expense. When it was finished Courtney showed off the costume at the local Independence Day event.
And once again Courtney's streak for bad things struck again. It was only after Pat turned red in the face at her mockery and he began to chastise her that the screaming began. Blue Valley might not have been hopping in the way LA was but apparently not even Nebraska was exempt from random (or not so random) super-villain attacks. It was the nefarious Dragon King. (Side note: Apparently a Japanese war criminal hiding out in Nebraska. Fun Facts!)
Pat quickly, much to Courtney's surprise, got most of the townsfolk, including her mother, to safety. However Courtney's day was still to get worse. Shiv, the Dragon King's daughter, apparently took affront to her costume and attacked the young girl. It was only Pat's intervention that saved her life. Pat had built himself a mechanical fighting suit of armor (that he named S.T.R.I.P.E.). Together the two were able to fight off both the Dragon King and his daughter.
After a long discussion with Pat and her mother it was agreed that Courtney could continue her "teen crime fighting" as long as Pat tagged along. Having no other option but to agree, she did. And the Star-Spangled Girl and S.T.R.I.P.E. was created. With her new calling in life Courtney's life was finally on the right track. She was reconciled with her mother. She even liked Pat! Which was good because not even a month later after the whole 4th of July attack her mother announced she was pregnant.
Nearly nine months later little Patricia was born. A few months after that Starman, whom she had fought together with against the Dragon King, retired. Upon that decision he gifted Courtney the Cosmic Staff. With the Staff she changed her name to Stargirl (At Mary's suggestion) to honor Jack/Starman. During this time she also joined the JSA for a brief time. When the JLA vanished she decided she'd be more help filling the void.

Motivation for joining the League?:
She thinks she can do the most good in the League.

Courtney might be young but she has a strong sense of right and wrong. She is also quite powerful in her own right if she can move past her own fears and doubts.
Notes
Courtney really doesn't have that secret of an identity. Pretty much everyone in Blue Valley knows who she is.

Powers/Skills:
Tamaraneans have different physiology from Terrans. Due to her race she has certain powers:
- Energy Absorption: Tameraneans can absorb solar energy from birth. The ultraviolet radiation is what powers their other natural abilities. Kori can also absorb the ultraviolet radiation from other life forms. This energy subsitutes all need for air, water, food and sleep. Though Kori does enjoy all of those things.
- Flight: Tameraneans convert their ultraviolet radiation into pure energy which they use to fly. Their flight leaves behind a distinctive trail, much like a comet. Kori's trail emanates from her red hair.
- Superhuman Durability
- Superhuman Strength
- Space Travel: Tameraneans, Kori included, can also use their power to fly through space not just on their planet. Kori's speed in space is extremely fast. Almost as fast as a Green Lantern can travel.
- Lingustic Assimilation: Through physical contact a Tameranean is able to absorb the language of the touched individual.
- Starbolts: While in the hands of the Psions they preformed experiments upon her. A result of one of them are her Starbolts. The ability to channel her absorbed energy into highly concentrated solar energy blasts. She can also releases all her energy at once in a quasi-nova blast but it's uncontrollable so she has never resorted to it.
- Hand-to-Hand Combat: Kori was trained by the Warlords of Okaara, the best fighters in the Vegan System.
Backstory:
Kori was the middle child of the royal family. Her older sister, Komand'r, was the successor of the Tameran throne. Or would have been had she not been plagued by a disease. A disease so terrible it had no name but robbed the unfortunate soul of their natural ability to convert ultraviolet radiation into energy. Komand'r was flightless. And so it was decided that Komand'r could not be a successor and the title passed to Kori. This created the tension and hatred between the two sisters. Komand'r resented her sister for being what she could not. When the two young girls were sent to the Warlords of Okaara to learn the art of War and the Humanities Komand'r's resentment grew and grew.
Kori took the the training very well. She absorbed it like a sponge. Unlike her sister who struggled. Then one day Komand'r was no where to be found. Kori worried for her sister but continued her training with the Okaara. She had her duty to her people. A while passed until she was recalled by her father to Tameran. He didn't tell her what for and Kori hoped with all her heart that nothing was wrong.
Upon arrival at the palace Kori learned the terrible truth. Tameran had been attacked by the Citadel! The Citadel were conquerors. They had enslaved twenty one planets in the Vega system and now they had apparently subdued beautiful Tameran. In exchange for the Citael for not enslaving the defeated Tameran they handed over Kori to them. It was only then she learned of her sister's involvement. How Komand'r had betrayed Tameran to the Citadel because of Kori. And they both paid the price dearly.
For six years Kori and Komand'r were tormented and tortured by the Citadel. When they finally released them it was only to give her over to the Psions. The Psions were cruel scientists who reveled in pain and unethical experiments. They wanted to see how much energy the Tameraneans could absorb until they blew up, amongst other tests and experiments. One of the last experiments the Psions ever preformed on Kori was the one where they gifted her with her Starbolts. With her new powerful weapon Kori broke free and killed her Psion captors.
Kori was tempted after her escape not to free her sister also, but her love and mercy couldn't let her. She set Komand'r free from her torture. But instead of being grateful Komand'r used her new abilities to nearly kill Kori and restrained her for execution. But Kori wasn't helpless. She took the first opportunity she could to escape. That escape lead her to Earth and Dick Grayson.
The two fell into a whirlwind romance after the young woman kissed him to learn his language. Kori knew in her heart that Dick would be her true love. She also grew to know that Dick didn't seem to feel the same. Her fears came true after their almost wedding where they broke off their relationship. Kori was devastated but she loved Dick enough that she would let him go.
Without Dick Kori's mind turned more and more to the planet of her birth. Earth was a nice place, but it was no Tameran. People were so uptight. They hid their feelings and didn't follow their passions. She felt constrained here and the feeling wasn't pleasant after years of captivity. But she didn't feel safe returning to Tameran. Her sister was out there somewhere searching for her, of that she had no doubt. And her family wouldn't protect her. They'd proven that before when she was only a young girl.
Yet Tameran called to her. She tried to push the pull away but with her denial of her feelings came guilt. She was acting more like a human ignoring her feelings. With that realization Kori returned to Tameran. Upon arrival she realized Tameran was at peace. Her sister was ruler of Tameran and while her initial rise to power had been barbaric the young woman had changed her ways and was now a just ruler. Even her mother and father supported her as Queen.
Kori was beyond thrilled that her family was back together. There was even a new addition in the form of a little brother, Ryand'r. Kori had no plans to return to Earth. She was home and things were finally okay. She even feel in love and married Ph'yzzon, a general. Then the worst came again. Not even a year later Tameran was attacked by the Psions. Both Kori and Ph'yzzon lead the armies against the scientists. But to no avail. Ph'yzzon died. Tameran was imploded. What was left of her people scattered to the stars.
Kori was adrift, literally and figuratively, she had no home and her love left her again. As she floated in the void of space she came to realize she did have someone to return to. Earth.

Motivation for joining the League?:
After returning to Earth Kori quickly learned the news of the League's disappearance. They were a major force in stopping her re-abduction after her escape all those years ago. Seeing the loss resonated deeply in the Tameran who had just lost her world. She couldn't let this one fall either.
What do you bring to the League?:
Kori is a heavy hitter. She also is a skilled leader and tactician who has both formal training and real life experience.
Notes
Kori is bi-sexual.
Currently she is crashing at Donna's place because she hasn't reestablished herself on Earth.

That Starfire sheet is looking really good.
I've got two old backstories I've written for Dick that I'm working on editing through. Just have to also keep in mind potential players as I hit the other Robins/Titans/Allies/One Night Stands etc.

@Mr_pinkEverything in Demon Knights is basically canon to my version of Shining Knight, so I hope it's okay to assume that the same roughly applies to Jason and Etrigan (which basically makes Jason O' the Blood an old comrade of Ystin's I guess). If not, let me know. XD
Unfortunately I haven't read Demon Knights yet, but I do have the wikipedia page open right now and I've found a website that I can read it on! From what I've read this is all fine with my interpretation, it'll be cool to have Jason and Ystin talk about old war stories

@GreenGrenade, any thoughts on how Jon fits into Dick's life? As the biological son of Clark, I see more reason for the two of them to be friends than I do for Dick and Kieran.
Well, let's see. When Bruce trained Jon to help him control his powers, he would've likely needed a "sparring" partner. I don't see any reason against that partner being Dick. I figure that that would be their introduction to each other, during Jon's teen years (which coincidentally align with Kieran's arrival). I don't think it's a stretch for Jon and Dick to have maintained contact over the years, but keep in mind that Jon was never with the Titans, or even a "hero" until after Clark's disappearance. The events of the RP are essentially his debut. So they could probably be friends, but they've never worked together on the field like Kieran and Dick might have. Does that sound alright?
...A-ahem. So here's Ystin I guess. Hope it's okay. ^^;
Name:
Sir Ystin
Nicknames:
Last Knight of Camelot, Merlin's Champion, Ystina
Alias:
Shining Knight
Age:
Roughly 10,000, although physically Ystin appears to be in his late teens.
Sex:
Whilst biologically female, Ystin primarily identifies as male.
Appearance:
An androgynous youth with a lithe, slender build, green eyes and short blonde hair. Ystin is somewhat short, although for his physical age and biological gender he'd be around average height. The magical golden armour and horned helmet he wears is partially what gained him the moniker "Shining Knight", and he wields a glittering sword of exquisite quality. Ystin rides atop Vanguard, a mighty white stallion who flies using large swan-like wings.
Powers/Skills:
- Immortality: Ystin and Vanguard have drank from the Grail, and thus no longer age. His immortality solely applies to aging and natural causes, and he is well aware of the fact that he could potentially be slain in battle. When the strain of immortality proves to be too much, Ystin and Vanguard enter a deep slumber that can last for centuries at a time.
- Expert Swordsmanship: As can be expected from one of the knights of Camelot, Ystin is a swordsman almost without peer. These skills have been honed throughout untold amounts of battles, against both mortal foes and the legions of Hell themselves, and as such Ystin's confidence in the blade is very well deserved.
- Caliburn Ex Calibur: Does it really need to be said? The legendary sword, variously known as Caledfwlch, Calesvol, and most famously as Excalibur. Most likely not the exact same Excalibur wielded by the medieval King Arthur, but rather a prototypical version from the earliest Camelot cycle. The sword is unbreakable, can supposedly cut through anything, and shines with a dull light when drawn.
- Magic Armour: A suit of shining golden armour, and coupled with his general demeanour the reason why Ystin is known as the Shining Knight. It is enchanted to be much lighter and stronger than it would appear, thus allowing Ystin to move unhindered whilst wearing it whilst being able to shrug off mighty blows and gunshots as though they were nothing.
- Vanguard: Ystin's mighty steed, a winged horse that like the Shining Knight has drank from the Grail and attained immortality. The two have been stalwart companions and partners throughout the millenia, and have formed an unshakable bond.
Backstory:
Hear now the legend of Sir Ystin, the Shining Knight; an epic tale of magic swords and foul sorcery, fell demons and glorious knights, brave heroes and dread villains. A tale that begins roughly ten millenia ago, during the reign of Artus the Bear King and the first of many Camelots to recur throughout history. A callow young squire, Ystin was present during the last days of Camelot, when the alliance of knights was sundered and the glorious civilization that stood as a bastion of chivalry and honour was razed by unnatural forces. Many knights fell during those dark times, and Ystin would have been one of them had Merlin not intervened. Finding the mortally wounded Ystin alongside his winged horse Vanguard, the wizard let the two drink from the Grail, restoring their vitality whilst cursing them with immortality.
Throughout the ages that passed afterwards, Ystin and Vanguard wandered the earth, righting many wrongs and fighting many evils as they felt drawn towards some unknowable goal, guided only by instinct and the occassional cryptic vision from Merlin. As time went on, they grew weary of their eternal life and needed to rest, slumbering for centuries before awakening in the dark ages, unaware that another Camelot cycle had occured whilst the two slept. During this time, the Shining Knight joined a ragtag alliance of heroes (some more heroic than others, to be fair) who would later become known as the Demon Knights, alongside the cursed Jason O' the Blood, his sorcerous lover Madame Xanadu, the mysterious Horsewoman, the exiled Amazon Exoristos, the scientist Al Jabr (the sole member of the group who wasn't immortal in some way), and... Vandal Savage, who centuries later would prove to be one of the most dangerous supervillains on the planet. Together, they fought against the Questing Queen and her hordes of barbarians, dinosaurs and mechanical dragons, helped protect the mystical island of Avalon from an invasion by Lucifer and the forces of Hell, battled the first vampire Cain to prevent him from turning the Amazons of Themyscra into an invincible vampiric army... Suffice to say, they were kept busy, and after many quests (as well as the sudden yet inevitable betrayal of Vandal Savage), the weariness once again fell upon Ystin and Vanguard, and once more they slept through centuries...
Awaking in the early 21st century, Ystin found a world far different than any they had seen before, a world where technology ruled and where magic hid in the shadows. But even in a world such as this, there were still heroes; the knights of the League of Justice standing above all others, serving as paragons of right and inspiration to all who would stand against the forces of evil. And in this new world of heroes Ystin once more was recruited into a group of seven, albeit one where the members knew not of each other's actions as they faced a malevolent force from the end of time who wished to harvest humanity. Once this threat was dealt with, Ystin adapted to the modern age in the only possible way; it wasn't too much of a change to become a superhero after having been a knight sworn to justice, after all. And when the news spread that the League of Justice had vanished, there was only one thing Ystin could do, and that was to seek out like-minded individuals to stand for the same ideals as they did and help protect the innocent in their stead. For evil and tyranny should never be allowed to succeed, not while one Knight of Camelot still endures.

Motivation for joining the League?:
Well... Ystin was a Knight of Camelot, and as such strives to uphold justice, defend the weak and punish evildoers. The title "Shining Knight" doesn't just refer to his armour, as Ystin really is the archetypal knight in shining armour, having fought alongside various heroes throughout the millenia in the constant war against base villainy. Having witnessed the fall of Camelot firsthand, Ystin knows full well what can happen when such a powerful group of heroes such as the Justice League vanishes, and is dedicated towards preventing anyone who would wish to do harm to innocents from taking advantage of the situation for their own foul means.
What do you bring to the League?:
Thousands of years of combat experience, a legendary magical sword and an unshakable dedication towards the cause of justice. Having been a member of both the Knights of Camelot and the Demon Knights, Ystin is a good team player who generally works well with others.
Notes
Ystin is bisexual, having felt unrequited love for Galahad and later entering a relationship with the exiled Amazon Exoristos.
...And yeah, Ystin is also transgender, having been born a woman. Honestly, this point was the main reason I wasn't sure if it was a good idea to try and play him, since I was kind of worried about screwing it up, but I really like the character (especially since not only does Ystin appeal to my noblebright tendencies but if I get writer's block I can always replace his dialogue with power metal lyrics and have everyone be none the wiser) and felt that it's a gamble I'm willing to take. So... Yeah. ^^;

@Rin Transgender characters are criminally underrepresented in roleplays and media in general. Sincerity Mode: I want to thank you for your inclusiveness.

Ugg. Sometimes I hate comicbook timelines. Can we just all pretend years of stuff happened but no one ever ages? Because seriously man. How is Courtney still a teenager? She should be mid-twenties at least!

@Blue Demon Comic logic, it needs to work so we theorize and argue and debate. We work math geniuses and philospy into simple childhood past times. It happens with anything that has a decent fan base.
@Rin Holy crap that is nice.
Great... Something else to research into.

@Blue Demon Lol, I like pointing out and that considering that fact. So many different answers from one simple question!
Never ask questions at a convention... It's dangerous. O_O
