Lex Luthor, the world's greatest supervillain, has been found guilty of crimes against humanity. He is now serving a lifetime sentence at the Super Max prison facility on Stryker's Island. Luthor's estranged son, Alexander Luthor Jr., has taken over his father's company. The new President of LuthorCorp has vowed to use the company's resources in order to avenge the wrongdoings of his father, seeking redemption for the Luthor name. Alexander has rebranded LuthorCorp as a humanitarian aid organization, confornting numerous crises around the world.

In an unprecedented move, Superman, the hero responsible for Lex Luthor's arrest, has endorsed the reformed LuthorCorp on behalf of the Justice League. Alexander has now embarked on a new initiative, assembling his own team of superheroes to assist the Justice League in their global battle against the forces of evil...
JUSTICE LEAGUE INCORPORATED



In this RP we will be playing as a brand new superhero team in the DC Universe, Justice League Incorporated. The team will of course be sponsored by Alexander Luthor Jr. and LuthorCorp, and will consist of all-new, original characters. Feel free to play any kind of superhero you'd like, but try to ground their story within the DCU. For example, maybe your character grew up in Gotham City, maybe they're a Thanagarian, an Atlantean, maybe they draw their power from the Speed Force, you get the idea.

The character sheet template will be outlined below. Once you've completed your CS, post it here. I'll give it a quick look and then let you know to post it in the Characters tab once approved. Like I said in the interest check threat, we probably want a team of around 6 superheroes, so nobody gets lost in the shuffle. Feel free to explore whatever corner of the DC Universe you'd like when creating a character, we want to have a good mix of powers and origins on the team. I'll be RPing as Alexander Luthor Jr., the coordinator of the team, as well as some of the supervillains we come across. However, most of the action will be on the other heroes. I'll try to incorporate elements of each character's backstory in different story arcs, so everyone will get a chance to take center stage.

@Ryteb Pymeroce Looks good, go ahead and move him over to the Characters tab. I really like that you incorporated an archnemesis into his origin story.

Well, you know electricity. If you got a positive, then you gotta have a negative. Also Frostbite may be an energy vampire, because puns.

@NecroKnight Yes they can be children or relatives of existing heroes.

@Kaalee This is a continuity-lite RP, certain iconic moments in DCU history are of course never going to be changed, but we will apply continuity for our own storytelling benefit. Take what you like, leave what you don't. This is our own DC Universe.

@DracoLunaris Robotosist is approved, go ahead and move him to the Chars tab.

@Burning Kitty I like the character, the only thing is that since DOnna Troy is an established superhero already in the Teen Titans, Fury should have a different civilian name.

@mattmanganon I don't think James' mother ALSO sleeping with some Kryptonian God after getting abducted and taken into space is really necessary. I'd say you probably don't need the half-brother element and can cut that out of the backstory. For a nemesis, maybe something else connected to Egyptian myth or something based around the Shazam mythos since a lot of that also has to do with ancient Egypt.

@NecroKnight Yes they can be trained by any canon hero (or villain).

@ZeusTheMoose part of his backstory is that his mother is a "Godslut" she has a thing about bedding gods. Part of her thing is that, after bedding Rao, she got a taste for the otherworldly and has been trying to scratch that itch ever since. I made this story for an original universe kinda thing. In that, Marcus was her son with an Angel so I thought I'd make it a little more tied into the DC mythos by making Marcus' dad a DC only God. Plus, Superman is sometimes called "The Angel of Metropolis" so I thought it was fitting to be tie him in with that.

I mean, I can drop him, it's not a dealbreaker. But I'd like that older brother figure, as well as that long running joke about his mother sleeping around with gods.

@ZeusTheMoose I am doing my own version of Donna Troy. If she can't be Donna she can't be in this.

Superhero Name: Oblivion

Secret Identity: Don Damarque

Appearance:


Powers & Abilities:
His magical powers grant him access to a number of abilities. He's able to sense the fear of his victims, as well as instinctively knowing their greatest fears. His powers allow him to mirror those fears. His powers include transformation, teleportation, superior strength and speed, and manipulation of darkness. Even at base he's quite dangerous, but his powers are increased by the presence of fear, especially the fear of his opponents. Direct exposure to sunlight weakens his powers, and prevents transformation/teleportation.

Personality:
To the casual observer, Don and Oblivion are very different people. Don is a friendly and goofy man, making bad jokes and small talk, smiling and whistling. A typical dad, with no sense of personal shame. Oblivion, on the other hand, is something escaped from a nightmare. Sadistic, cruel, and twisted beyond human recognition. While they are the same person, Don's personality is segregated based on his situation. While in the mask he unleashes the nightmares within his mind, granting him access to their supernatural powers but also causing him to slip into a darker side of his personality.

Origin Story:
When his daughter fell into a coma, Don Damarque became desperate. When all medical approaches seemed futile he began to dabble into the occult, but even magic failed to return his daughter. Eventually he performed a highly risky ritual and managed to summon Dream of the Endless to Earth. While Dream was able to save Don's daughter, his intervention came at a price. For his daughter was lost in a nightmarish landscape within the Dreaming, and if she were to return then so would the nightmares that so tormented her. Don declared that he would take on these nightmares, that his daughter might live. Dream complied, but Don refused to fall into unconsciousness. His life transformed into a living nightmare, and even his soul was replaced with the stuff of nightmares. After only a single day he was driven insane, transformed into a monster. He hunted the night streets of Gotham, spreading terror and destruction.

Inevitably the newly formed Oblivion came into conflict with the Dark Knight. While unable to defeat the nightmare beast in single combat, the detective soon learned that this creature fed on fear. As such he lured it to an abandoned area, and then trapped it until sunrise. Unable to feed on Batman's iron-clad determination, the creature was weakened and defeated. But Batman was shocked to discover that this creature was in fact a person, who was somehow linked to the Dreaming. Through a series of adventures it was discovered that this link could not be broken without unleashing the nightmares into the real world, but that through hypnosis and training Don could learn to control and focus the nightmares inside of him. Thus he became 'Don' and 'Oblivion', two sides of the same coin. With his powers under control he donned a scary mask and hoodie to fight crime as the friendly nightmare.

Superhero Name: Fortuna

Secret Identity: Kali Durand

Appearance:

Powers & Abilities: Kali can sense and manipulate the probability of certain events occurring. Of course what she wants to manipulate cannot be absolute, such as a can on a table suddenly falling over but she can increase the probability of someone missing a green light, or of winning the lottery. She's also a little bit more durable than the average human but not much (think...Captain America or Batman).

Personality: Kali has a quick tongue and she isn't afraid to use it. Bantering is usually one of her favorite past times and she always likes to be right, even if she isn't right. She's definitely got a dry sense of humor, and speaks sarcasm as a second language. She is extremely loyal, and has a strong moral compass. She does, however, tend to think before she acts. She can be considered standoffish by some, although those who know her mostly consider her to be quiet until she's not.

Origin Story: Kali was born to the richest man in Ireland, although she was technically born in India. She was raised on her family's compound in Ireland, until she was 18 and decided to move to America to pursue college opportunities. She had managed to get a 4 year degree and master's in Astrobiology in about 6 years(give or take half a semester). In her final year of college, the bloodline parasites first landed and she got attacked. She was one of the ones who survived, lucky or unlucky that depends on your point of view. After she had recovered, she found that she could sense the probabilities of things happening. Suddenly, she could tell what was the probability of her flight back to Ireland falling out of the sky, and she could tell just how likely the horse her brother was approaching was going to kick him. It freaked her out for a while, but she got used to it. Of course after she got used to it she realized she could adjust these probabilities. She had gotten a job with NASA and had decided to move back to the States while she garnered experience with NASA so she could do her own research later in life back home. While she was working on a new theory she realized that, despite her abysmal throwing skills, every single crumpled up piece of paper had landed in the trash bin. When she focused on it, she noticed that the probability of her hitting the trash can was at 99%. So she had to do more experimentation, being the scientist she was. She traveled to metropolis for S.T.A.R Labs help with figuring out her new abilities.

@thewizardguy Approved, and I already have an idea for a future story arc involving your character.

@NecroKnight Approved. Minor edit would be that Tamaranian is spelled Tamaranean according to wikipedia. Good use of the DCU though with the Starfire/Teen Titans connection, lots of possibilities for the future.

@Kaalee Approved, really cool choice of powers. Although I think you mixed up Superhero Name with Secret Identity haha, just flip that around.

@DracoLunaris Another minor edit I forgot to mention. Robotosist should be spelled Roboticist.
