This RP is something of an experiment because of the large cast, episodic adventures, and out of this world scenarios. It is EXACTLY what it sounds like. The JLU from the cartoons of days gone by fully realized in role player fashion. I know... I've already got two RPs with Batman [one in the present and one BEYOND] but I needed something with a little more flare. If there's enough interest we'll get this going with eight players and continue forward. You can play as a cannon character, be based on a cannon, or make a complete original within the DC universe. I'm not basing this thing on any one continuity, and much like my other games I'll just take bits from here and there to make the most entertaining RP possible. The only cannons off limits are Superman, Green Lantern, and Batman. If you wanna make your own Wonder Woman or Supergirl have at it. A new Flash? That could be cool too. Use whatever cannon you'd like, it's only unacceptable if I say it's unacceptable. Just don't make any characters tied to huge events in the comics like Blackest Night or Zero Hour and we should be okay.

Starting with eight players, teams of four would each get paired with one of the big guns [Superman, GL, or Batman] for two different missions. RECRUITING WILL STILL CONTINUE. The next four players accepted would take the remaining big gun for another mission. And guess what? RECRUITING WILL STILL CONTINUE. If we go beyond 16 players that'd be awesome. If not? After the first two or three missions the smaller groups would get switched around and any new recruits waiting for their group of four would just get cycled into the larger cast. Like if we had fourteen players and the last two weren't on mission and were waiting for more players, they'd get cycled in after the missions start ending. Another big gun might come into play like Martian Manhunter depending on what sort of characters you guys bring in or create.



I'm willing to let any seasoned players, after you get two missions in the can, to finish building the League with secondary characters until we reach at least twenty-four characters total. After the first four or five missions we'll have a larger adventure that will require all of us on hand. Any and all dropouts will be used as fodder for stories. Dropouts will be anybody who goes quiet in both the OOC and IC for two weeks without warning.

While this RP will be Casual/High Casual, the character sheets will almost look Advanced Level and include an in-character sample post. Players will be given some freedom when choosing story lines and can collaborate on possible enemies to take on with each other. There will be an overarching sub-plot stirring that will come to fruition during the first huge team battle, so some villains early on may be leading towards that.

In the event I can get some Co-GM's they would likely have to submit a sample post as a mentor to be able to take point over a squad. As for actual story details, I wanna see what interest looks like first before getting too deep into it. There will be some form of Superman, Green Lantern, and Batman in cannon. Everything else is up to you guys and gals. I'm half debating making an original New Gods character. Or reimagining some mort like Bluejay.

Character Sheets MUST include:

Name:
Alias:
Age:
Personality: [five words best describing your hero]
Archetype: Metahuman, Alien, Alien Tech, Mystic/Supernatural, or Gadgeteer
Powers: [don't get too nuts]
Weaknesses:
Appearance:
Character Evolution: [How do you want your character to grow within the League? What do you want as far as a personal story? A friendship/rivalry in the JLU? A superhero girlfriend or boyfriend?]
BRIEF Bio:
Notes:
Sample Post: [Two paragraphs minimum with dialogue]

Still with me? Get to work. I think I might go old school and reinvent somebody like Manhunter or the Spectre, but I DO like me some B'Wana Beast. As soon as I get my sheet finished and another 7 players accepted we'll get the OOC and IC going and keep recruiting going forward. Key word is UNLIMITED.

Aaaah, I might have to take this. I have a character in mind I made for a Teen Titans rp and with some refinement he can definitely fit into the League proper. I made him like, 4 years ago and he was 17 then so I guess bringing him in at 21 would make sense, eh?

He'd fit more properly in Justice League Dark but hey, maybe a proper magic user in the league would be a nice change of pace! I'll get a sheet up as well as some pics by Tuesday, since you want an almost advanced feel!

After binging Young Justice and a bunch of Rebirth issues, I definitely want to do a DC RP. Count me in.

Edit: I pretty much have my character ready, which is largely based from Negative Man.

Screw the fact that I'm already in a superhero RP, I wanna do more superhero RPs dammit!

I'm interested, I'll probably use The Question (because I love him to death) or whip up a brand new character.

EDIT: Gonna use The Question. He has no powers, so can I change that part of the sheet to abilities instead?

A big work in progress for now, it's pretty late over here. I dropped the Invisible Man idea in favor of a less traditional type of hero.

Negative Man is the ONLY reason I've ever cared for the Doom Patrol. A character based on him would be great.

Question is one of my favorite Steve Ditko creations, and you seem to have a good understanding of the guy so I'd be glad to have him. And yeah since he's powerless you could substitute Powers for Skills. Again, just don't go too crazy.

@Pathfinder I was excited for an Invisible Man in the DCU, but this guy looks good too. I'll give it a read once I get caught up on some stuff.

Can I just say I'm SUPER IMPRESSED with the 3rd and 4th stringers you guys are bringing up. All three of those would be cool, although with Sandman I hope it's based on the JSA version and not Neil Gaiman's.

_____________________________________

I'm super excited for this now that I know you guy's are already bringing in some really epic cannons and OC's based on them. I'm gonna give it another day or two before I start thinking about who I'm going to use. Not gonna lie... last night I pondered using the Ray, some form of Sandman [based on Sanderson Hawkins], and the Question. Hearing ALL of them mentioned has got me giddy LOL

It would be the sandman they used in the jlu dcau version. I think his full codename was just "Sand". I played him like a young super wannabe edgy batman type person.

Yeah Sand was the original Sandman's sidekick 'Sandy the Golden Boy' after the Sandman took up wearing purple and yellow spandex rather than a gasmask and coat. He's Sanderson Hawkins and also had the ability to become sand, something his mentor never did.

I only say him once or twice in the background of the show, I noticed in the group pic up top just how many of those characters are Justice Society... Stargirl, STRIPE, Dr. Mid-Nite, Dr. Fate, Hourman, Wildcat, Atom Smasher, and Obsidian. If you count the JSA reserves and include past members of alt Earths, the 7 Soldiers of Victory, etc... like they did in the comics... you'd also include the Ray, Vigilante, Shining Knight, and Huntress.

So... suffice to say if there's a DCU character not usually associated with the Justice League you want to apply with... let's see it. Constantine, Etrigan the Demon, Azrael, Starfire, a timelost Legion of Superheroes member like Cosmic Boy or Saturn Girl, Grifter [Wildstorm characters could still be used in this], Icon [Milestone characters too, he was only a member in the YJ toon], etc. Instead of Atom Smasher... what if Giganta reformed?!? What if Capt. Cold got League status [he did in the comics for like 5 minutes along with Lex Luthor but nothing came of it...]?!

EDIT: And everybody applying remember... if there's more than one hero on your mind and we still need to build the ranks, after two missions you can have a secondary character.

Age them up to their early 20's. Doesn't have to fit with any continuity. This is an original DCU. Earth 53.

EDIT: I'm pretty sure in the ep where Supergirl goes to the future then stays with the Legion, it's implied it's her 21st birthday. So long as the young hero is now a young adult and at least 20-21 we're good.
