One and a half years ago a new Metahuman named "Anarchy" appeared, attacking government sites around the world. After each attack, he would post allegations against the government and site he attacked. This made him the enemy of the Justice League, who considered him to just be another super-villain who was trying to hurt people. He ended up working with various villains because of this and, one year ago, they attacked Cadmus, drawing the Justice League to them.

During that fight Anarchy tried to talk Superman into standing down and, when that didn't work, pulled a shotgun out. Thinking that it couldn't hurt him, Superman slowly flew towards him, and Anarchy fired. The Kryptonite shards the gun fired embedded themselves into him and, after Anarchy shot him again just to make sure, Luthor landed behind the Man of Steel and drew a ten inch Kryptonite blade and ran it through his back. Anarchy reminded him that no one else was to die, and Luthor scowled, but complied. After the battle, Anarchy burned the body along with the Kryptonite and buried the ashes at a memorial in Metropolis.

A week later Anarchy walked before all of the former Justice League members who were now being held in Belle Reve. "I held you here just to make sure you didn't try and stop us while we finished our mission. Every politician and military leader that refused to step down is now in prison awaiting trial for crimes against humanity. In order to guarantee that you can't secretly reinstall them into positions of power or continue to secretly rule the world from the shadows, every one of your secret identities is now public knowledge. Now, if you'll go through that door over there," he pointed to a door to his right, "your gear will be returned and your power-dampening collars removed. Welcome to the new world."

---

A year later Mark Patterson, CEO of Phoenix Security Services, formerly known as Anarchy, was in a meeting with his head of security operations, John Stewart. He looked up as Kevin Kirk, his assistant, opened the door. "Sir, there two men here to see you, Bruce Wayne and Oliver Queen."

"Of course," he said, "send them in." After they entered, he greeted them. Neither looked too happy to see him, but they weren't openly hostile. "So, how's the the plan coming?"

"Not too good," said Queen, "Building a prison colony at the bottom of ocean isn't exactly easy."

I'm a bit confused about what we're applying to, is this OC's or not? Are we fighting against Anarchy or for him?

I should have been clearer. I don't really care what role the players take in this world, but the idea is to try and deal with all of the problems that this new world has in it. You can work for him if you want, or you can try to still be a super hero, or you can be a villain, or you can be Amanda Waller and try to bring back the government, etc., etc.

edit: I'll work with whatever the characters want to be.

Kinda like the idea of playing as Lobo working as Waller's hired muscle.

I forgot to add that you can play Bruce Wayne or Oliver Queen if you want to. I Just put them in the OP so that you'd see what a few people were doing now. The way I see them, Wayne is essentially thinking "keep your friends close, but your enemies closer," and Queen thinks Anarchy is more of a misguided freedom fighter than a villain. If anyone wants to change that, though, that's fine.

If there's still any plans for this, I'd be interested. I kinda like the sound of a Roy Harper that feels betrayed by Oliver and who stubbornly refuses to stop fighting crime even if he ends up being branded an outlaw for it. Could essentially use this premise as a means for him to have dropped Speedy in favor of Arsenal. Speedy was his mask before Anarchy's rise, but Roy becomes Arsenal as a way of cutting his ties with Green Arrow. I could see him hooking up with less savory characters like Cheshire and Jason Todd and starting up an Outsiders/Outlaws kind of team.

The RP is still open for new players, if anyone wants to join.
