First off, let me start, breaking the forth wall, is not an option here, the only Exception is the child of Deadpool- in this case, Vicier has this child, and is in the process of making it. I understand you do forget things in posts, but this:
"To show what he was talking about, he picked up his suitcase (that went unmentioned earlier, but was totally there the whole time) and opened it up"
Could easily have been written like this:
"To show what he was talking about, he picked up his suitcase, from where he had left it earlier, and opened it up."
Second, I know this is casual, and that while it is still considered laid back, I moved this casual because I wanted more skill, and quality to posts. I'm so proud of those that came here with me from the old roleplay, and I'm looking forward to see the advancement they have.
I'd like to see everyone grow a bit in posting, even myself- I've come a long way in under a year, and I've still got a long way to come.
Thirdly, While we are working on a Bruce post, I'd like a majority of characters posted in, and all of mine and my Co-GMs. I'd like everyone to have a chance to have their characters introduced before this so do keep in mind that the students will be at the front gates until this happens. and be wary of the time- not a great amount of time is passing at the moment.
And finally...
"the best group in the RP currently and I will fight you if you say otherwise"
I will fight anyone who does this sort of thing again. Yes, I know it might be funny and everything, but it is disrespectful to others. To every other writer in the roleplay, and that is a big no no for me.
I will not have disrespect.
I will not have people feeling like they aren't making a good enough character to be considered for "the best group".
If you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to come to me.
Both of those things that you mentioned were just jokes, but I'll edit those both out if you want me to. I promise it won't happen again.
Also, you didn't answer my question about changing my character's alias earlier.
@Caits Again, sorry about the things in my post (if that's what made you angry, that is; and even if it wasn't, then I'm still sorry about it). I'll edit those out shortly.
Name: Kaitlyn Kovacs Nick-Names: Katie Alias: It's not set in stone, but currently she plans on adopting the name Rorschach Gender: Female Occupation: Student, Vigilante, Private Investigator (if she needs the cash) Place Of Origin: Manhattan, NY Age: 18 Date Of Birth: September 7th Appearance - Human:
Relationship information
Relationship Status: Single, hasn't yet been in a romantic relationship Sexuality: Bisexual Partner: N/A Father: Unknown, however, using her detective skills, she's come up with the theory that her Uncle Walter, AKA Rorschach, is her father as well as her uncle. Mother: Emily Kovacs, half-sister of Walter Kovacs (Deceased) Siblings: N/A Pets: N/A Other:
Personal information
Behind her mask, Katie Kovacs is a nobody. She's a quiet, mousy girl, one that no one would pay attention to unless she directly drew attention to herself, something she's not too fond of doing. She enjoys sitting wherever there's room, reading and writing to her hearts content. She can do this for hours on end, without ever getting bored. In public, she's always been more of an extra.
But that's only when she's Katie. When she's sick of reading under trees, she pursues more exhilarating activities. If she's feeling to antsy for reading, but too tame for crime fighting, she'll go on one of her urban explorations, in which she travels to abandoned urban locations, and finds what secrets they might hold. But more often than not, she instead dawns her uncle's mask, and goes out as a vigilante to solve crimes and end criminals.
While Katie is an excellent fighter, she usually pulls her punches when unmasked, not wanting to hurt anyone too badly, which often leads to her getting pummeled. However, when she puts on the mask, she loses that, and all sense of control. It's then that she goes all out, often resulting in mangled bodies.

Strengths: ⚜ Katie has an unbreakable will. Once she starts something, there's no stopping her. ⚜ Despite her age and limited training, Katie is an extremely skilled combatant. ⚜ Katie is quite the detective, and is skilled in solving all sorts of mysteries.
Weaknesses: ☠ Katie has a temper, especially when she's wearing the mask. If she loses it, it can cloud her judgement. ☠ Katie has a strong moral compass, and believes that if someone is evil, they should die. ☠ Katie is a guardian for the everyman. If there are innocent lives on the line, she'll do what she can to save them, even if the outcome is not ideal for her.
Brief Biography: After her mother died in childbirth, Katie was sent to live with her grandmother, an ex-prostitute, and current wife of a local businessman. It was a rough upbringing, as her grandmother wasn't exactly the kindest soul, and the businessman didn't pay any mind to her, but she managed.
For the most part, Katie lived fairly normal life, or rather, as normal of one as she could. That is, until she reached the age of fourteen, when package was delivered to her. It contained numerous journals written by man calling himself Rorschach, a grappling hook, and a strange mask with shifting blobs of ink.
In the journals, Katie discovered that the man Rorschach was her uncle who she never had the opportunity to meet. The journals soon became her main source of guidance, teaching her how to navigate the treacherous world, along with other skills. It wasn't until a few years later that she finally dawned the mask for the first time. Tensions were high between powered individuals and groups, and Katie wanted to help. When she first started, the job mainly consisted of getting the shit kicked out of her. But as she gained experience from walking the nasty streets of Manhattan, she learned to harness her...unique instincts of fighting. With time, Katie uncovered something massive, bigger than just Manhattan. At first it was just a single man, Wilson Fisk, and his less than legal transactions. But with time, she discovered that it was so much more. An underground crime network was plaguing America. Its criminals were thriving as the Avengers and the Justice League faced extraterrestrial and supernatural threats, for there was no one to stop them. The Gods were fighting the Devils. No one was there to save Man. Someone had to do something.
Katie dropped out school. She left home and she followed the path of clues that had been laid out before her. The trail led all over the country, from Lex Luthor's shining city of Metropolis, to the killer clown king of crime's filthy, immoral Gotham. Katie was only one person, a teenager at that, so she couldn't bring it down completely. But she still came to be known as an enormous pain in the ass to anyone who stood in the way of justice. In her quest, she dragged dirty politicians and corrupted businessmen into the spotlight, murdered countless hired criminals and thugs, and destroyed warehouses full of illegal products. The face of Rorschach, once dead and forgotten, came to be known again, feared by crime and innocence alike.
And then, the war began. During it, Katie didn't stop. While supers fought supers, she continued to pursue the evil of men, those that went unseen in the chaotic battle. It promptly ended with the signing of a treaty and the opening of a school, certainly a strange ending to a war. Originally, Katie saw no reason to enroll in the school. School had never really been something that she enjoyed, mostly because of the rules and the assortment of people who thought they knew more than her because they were older, but the more she thought about it, the easier it was to see that perhaps it wasn't a terrible idea. Her thinking was that, while the school would be attended by the next generation of superheroes, it would also be attended by the next generation of supervillains. And maybe, just maybe if she can pull them from the ground before they bloom, she can save hundreds of lives.
Powers and Abilities
Born to Fight: Katie has a strangely natural instinct when it comes to fighting, one that she was born with. Almost like an animal, Katie is able to fight with little to no thinking, though using her brain often increases her performance. In addition to this, she also has deadly precision.
The Niece of a Detective: Katie has almost a sixth sense when it comes to mysteries. With incredible investigation skills and high perseptive abilities, she's one hell of a detective.
In the Right Hands for the Wrong Reasons: Along with numerous other things, Katie also adopted Rorschach's lethal creativity. In her hands, anything can be used for a weapon.
Strength: Katie is stronger than the average person.
Acrobatic: Katie spent her teenage years jumping from building to building, grappling up tall buildings, and breaking into criminal hidouts. All this has made her extremely skilled in the field of acrobatics.
Rorschach. That is an established alias, used by someone known, correct? She wouldn't be able to use that. I have stated, several times, that Alias's have to be completely new, with the exception of a few, who have already come to talk to me about it, (and yes, this includes you, @Simple Unicycle, hey, killed two birds with one stone!)
Second.
"In her quest, she dragged dirty politicians and corrupted businessmen into the spotlight, murdered countless hired criminals and thugs, and destroyed warehouses full of illegal products."
I'm not against the students murdering people in their past... hell, one of mine has... albeit accidentally. But This, along with a few other things, tells me that Katie has already established herself. She wouldn't, it seems, need the academy in anyway. And technically, if she was a well known face... she might have been forced to sign the treaty too. Thereby making her retired, and her secret identity revealed.
Thirdly.
"Her thinking was that, while the school would be attended by the next generation of superheroes, it would also be attended by the next generation of supervillains. And maybe, just maybe if she can pull them from the ground before they bloom, she can save hundreds of lives."
The school is not there to stop villains from becoming villains. It's there to teach each student how not to destroy the world and how to use their powers in a way that the world, which is still recovering, won't be put at severe risk. Once the teachers, or indeed a fellow student found out katie's intentions,, she'd be booted so far from the school she'd probably end up in another world.
And then there is Barca, who'd just blackmail her.
I don't begrudge her knowing how to fight and use her abilities, but to me, this is an established character with no room left to grow.
@Caits Alright then, thanks for answering my question. I can add an actual personality to my characters sheet though, right (just kind of bugging me that he has likes and dislikes but no actual personality)?
@Caits Alright, I'm not going to argue with you, because I have something to fix all that. I came up with it while walking my dogs. Those two are simply adorable bastards, two dachshunds, and they help me come up with, like, half of my ideas. Anyway, I was walking through the neighborhood, and I actually felt that something was missing from Katie, but I wasn't sure what. And, as it does, my mind started to drift a tad. Now, I love both of my dogs, in case you hadn't noticed, but the two are very different. One's brown, the other's black with white spots. One's lazy, one's extremely outgoing. One's a blithering idiot and the other is an absolute genius. But they get along perfectly well. And it was then, as the two sat there, pissing on flower bushes, that I came up with something that could make her more of an interesting character: Dissociative Identity Disorder, better known as Multiple Personality Disorder.
Sure, it's a bit of a cliché, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it's bad. It wouldn't be supernatural or anything, it would just be two personalities fighting over her body: Katie Kovacs, and Rorschach (or whatever alias gets decided on). This way, she wouldn't just be a copy of a character like she sort of is now, but she'd be her own person, one that can grow. Perhaps she's completely against her alternate personality's tendency to kill, and that's why she signed up for the academy: as damage control.
So yeah, I'd have to make major edits to my CS, and I probably wouldn't have it back up until tomorrow, and you might not want it because it might be hitting too close to actual, real world issues, but I think that it might be able to work. What do you think?

Reminds me of Jekyll and Hyde... o.o
But aside from that, I do believe we already have two or so characters with DID, Griffen and Zach are one and I believe Harley Quinn and Jokers kid and the Deadpool spawn (who has 3 personalities) which will be coming in shortly.
Not saying it's a bad idea, just saying we could use a bit more variety in this rp. If you want, you can always send me a PM and I can help you with her - I believe that she has a lot of potential, but as you said, a bit of work
@Framing A Mooseummm... we actually have a student with DID or MOD so I don't think that would be an issue...not a GM or anything... just giving you a heads up.

Weaknesses: ☠ silver is like kryptonite to her ☠ using too much energy will cause her to be fatigued ☠ speedsters are a big weakness for her if she can't react to control her Cosmic Orbs
Brief Biography: For as long as she could remember, Stella always felt estranged from her father and her two siblings. For starters they all had dark hair while hers was bright blonde. Not even her mother had hair like hers. At first she didn't really mind, it made her feel unique, but as she got older and less naive Stella felt that her family wasn't as connected to her as they should be.
She felt almost like an outsider in her own house. Her mother treated her nicely, but Stella always felt she didn't give off the normal motherly vibe that she did with Stella's brother and sister. Things were less awkward with her siblings and they had a good sibling relationship. Things changed even more when she turned thirteen. At school, Stella was not one of the popular students and she never really desired to be one.
But that didn't stop some of the other girls from bullying her. They teased her and called her names, and she on occasions wanted to fight back, but she chose to try and ignore them. That changed when one day they were bullying her again and something inside her rose up to the surface. There was a flash of light and the next thing that Stella knew her tormentors were on the ground injured.
Other students were either in shocked silence or screaming at what had just happened. They pointed at her and began whispering to one another. She didn't exactly what they were saying, but she did catch the word 'metahuman' a few times. Was she gifted with special powers? She would have never have thought it possible for her to be a metahuman.
After the story spread and Stella told her parents about what had happened. They explained to her the truth. First they told her she wasn't their daughter by blood, her father had been real mother's ex husband. Her biological mother had died giving birth to her. This was all a shock to her and when she asked about her real father, they couldn't tell her, they knew nothing about him.
She wanted to find out who her real father was, but she didn't know where to look and a couple of years passed and she still couldn't find out who he was. One night she couldn't sleep and instead went outside to stare up at the starry night sky. That's when she saw a star fall from the sky and as it came closer it transformed into a robed man. She stood there in stunned silence and couldn't find any words to speak.
The man explained to her who he was. He said that he was her real father and introduced himself as Crius the titan of constellations. She couldn't believe what she was hearing at first, but looking at him made her feel that he was telling the truth. His hair was blonde like hers and his eyes were a starry blue as well. He explained to her how he met her mother and why he had to leave her when she got pregant, the Olympians still feared the titans and would not let them roam free.
After he told her the story, she quickly approached him and hugged him as she sobbed into his star-covered cloak. Stella had almost given up on finding her father, but now here he was with her. Crius told her that he didn't have much time and explained to her that she was a dmei-titan and thus had incredible abilities beyond that of a normal mortal. This was all a lot to take in, but she listened to him carefully to understand.
When he left her she now knew who she was and what kind powers she possessed. It wasn't long until she decided that she would use her powers to good and taking on the alias of Nightstar, Stella set out to fight crime as a hero and eventually was accepted at an academy for heroes in training. .
Powers and Abilities
Cosmic Orbs: Stella can create and manipulate five glowing orbs of cosmic energy that look like mini stars the size of soccer balls and she can shrink them to smaller sizes, but it will make them weaker. These orbs can hit with concussive force or can release powerful cosmic energy in the form of an explosion. She can merge two or more orbs into one and make a larger orb, which increases its power. A cosmic orb can also absorb energy and suck it into a singularity at the center of the orb, but an orb can only absorb a lot of energy for a short period otherwise it will explode and potentially harm Stella. She can also split the orbs into dozens of tiny ones. She can only summon five or less normal sized orbs at a time.
Cosmic Cloak: when her powers are active, Stella is surrounded by glowing yellow energy that she calls a cosmic cloak. This cloak is made of cosmic energy and when active it makes her resistant to magical effects much better than a normal human. Her eyes glow a bright red
Cosmic Staff: She can have one of her orbs form into a glowing golden staff that she can use for close range combat. The staff is magical and is able to harm supernatural beings.
Star Walk: Stella is able to teleport by sucking herself into an within feet five of her and reappearing out another orb at any range. She can also pull another person into the orb with her if she chooses to.

Brief Biography: James was born in New Orleans Louisiana and from an early age he felt different from everyone else. Strange things would happen around him and it made him afraid. Plants would wither and bloom when he was near. Other kids felt very uncomfortable around him as if his presence affected their very souls.
He had asked his mom before about why these things were happening, but there was a reluctance in her tone of voice as she told him that she didn't know what was going on. James could tell that she wasn't telling the truth and he would find out the truth no matter what.
While at school one day James was picked on by some of the bullies and it got violent after he insulted them. While reacting in self defense James' mysterious powers activated and put the bullies and six other students into a coma. Kids who saw what happened screamed in terror and pointed accusing fingers at him.
The authorities were called and they took James home where they explained the situation to his mother. He was suspended from school and the police wanted him to stay home until the investigation into what had happened was complete. To the total surprise of the authorities, there was no sign of any severe damage or toxins in the student's bodies. What ever had been done to them was not anything that medical or forensic science could explain.
He wasn't found guilty of any crime, but the school still felt that it was best that he stay out of school for a bit. James was scared and confused at the turn of events in his life. His mom knew that it was time to tell him the truth about his heritage and his father.
And so James learned that his father was Iapetus the Titan of mortality. He learned that his father like all of the titans were not respected like the Olympians and that regardless of whether he was with normal people or demigods, he wouldn't be truly respected. With this new large of knowledge James finally had an answer to his questions.
It was too long after that his father appeared at their doorstep and told them that he believed that it would be best for James to go learn at a school for students who want to be heroes and train to control his powers. It felt both strange and great to see his father for the first time, but he felt scared of what his future held.
Powers and Abilities
Life force manipulation: James is able to manipulate the life force energy within himself and animals and plants. With this power he can attack a foe's life force instead of physically harming them. These attacks can be both close and long ranged, but longer ranges are very difficult for him to do at his current stage of development. For example if James makes contact with a light slap or punch he can attack their life force and cause a good amount of harm. He can also use his powers to help keep a person from dying by keeping their life force within them flowing, but this ability does cost energy and he will suffer from fatigue and the ability will then end. The biggest weakness to his powers is that they require him to use his own life force to access them so if he taxes his life force energy too much then he could slip into a coma or even die. A side effect of his powers is that he can live far longer than any normal human being and ages a lot slower after hitting adulthood. Also he has a resistance to necromancy and can combat the magic when used against others.
@Weird Tales Hey mate, I'd love to say welcome aboard, but... I've never heard of these titan's in either the DC or the Marvel worlds. Now, i might be ignorant about some of the heroes and villians across these worlds, but I've been talking with my co-Gms and neither of them know of them either.
I did do a quick google search, and only came up with that crius is actually a titan of justice.
Which I'm not sure where that leaves us...
but The characters have to be children from heroes or villians from DC or Marvel. Or, in the case of some of the characters, completely new metahumans, like my Tobias.
Just throwing in my opinion in here as well, as somewhat well-versed with comic lore both DC and Marvel, the only times that Greco-Roman Titans are ever mentioned are through either Thor and Hercules or Wonder Woman respectively from their own stories derived from mythological roots. And really the only Titans that are mentioned at all are mostly the more well-known ones, i.e. Kronos, Prometheus and Atlas. So..
