In a world of supers, you would think places like La Vida in the United States wouldn’t exist, a neighborhood in Los Angeles. Where crime is everywhere and the police do their best but it's just too much, the people that live there were either born they’re and work as longshoreman or in the oil refinery and the only time the government takes note of this place is when their buses pull up with more homeless keeping places like San Francisco and Star City or down town Los Angeles as vagrant clean as possible. The gangs of this neighborhood run things, if you want to survive then you must pick a side, there was no way around it until now. A few months ago, three young heroes roamed in to town and started making their presence known by taking down some of the smaller gangs and stopping criminals from shaking down local business. The three heroes have began recruiting anyone with the ability to help, super powers or not, this won’t be easy but with hard work, faith, and a bit of luck we can save La Vida!

In what looks to be an abandon apartment building near the outskirts of town is the House of the Wayward Heroes. However, if you were not invited something strange happens to you, you start to feel like you are in a dream, dazed and confused then after a while you would find yourself walking back to town feeling like were possessed. So, for the people of La Vida it is known as Casa de la Bruja (house of the witch). However, once inside you would be surprised to find a hi-tech fortress, a wonder built and maintained by the resident technopath that took random old tech he found at a junk yard and created some cool stuff.



Rules:
Follow basic site rules
No meta gaming or auto hits on player characters
OC's are encouraged and established heroes that are Teen titans and Young Justice are welcomed too.
IDK just use your best judgement, y'all been here long enough to know.
No Raven, if anyone is gonna play her its gonna be me!!!

Don't be afraid to speak up, ask me if you would like to see something added to the story, I have stuff prepared but we can work in other things. I would like to keep things semi focused but slice of life stuff is fine too. Also if there is someone that can play a combat leader PM me, I might have an idea.

Powers:
Telepathy- The ability to read minds and communicate through thought. She is able to keep mental links with the others as long as they focus on the link, she also limits herself on how far she will dive into her teams minds out of respect.

Telekinesis- The ability to move people or objects with her mind. she can also force push objects like larges boulders with enough power to crush them and has been known to use this force push ability to empower physical abilities. She can also create powerful psychic walls that can act as barriers for defensive purposes or to contain.

Mind push- Farther control of her abilities has unlocked an ability to suggest new memories, this ability can only be used on people with weak wills and a phyical connection.

Weaknesses: Athena must maintain concentration on her task or she will lose control over whatever she is influencing. Athena's mind can be over-tasked and has shown to have permanent damage to her explicit memory, sometimes forgetting things that just took place.

Skills/abilities:
Athena is able to learn quickly, such as: fighting techniques, computer skills, musical instruments, and even cooking recipes. However she must train her body to do these things and her cooking is only as good as the recipes she learns.

Bio:

Athena has never had a family that she could remember and has heard stories that she was found and a dumpster, however, this may only be a lie spread through mean spirited children who were in the same foster homes she grew up in. The psychic had found her abilities very early in life and was most likely the reason why she had no friends and was moved around a lot. People just seemed to be thrown across the room after making her cry or see monsters when she was frighten or mysteriously remember they were secretly the Easter bunny.

Finally after years of moving around Athena had learned to control her powers and was even able to make good friends with fellow orphans that were outcast like her because of their gifts. The three became inseparable for years and developed a family like relationship going as far as changing their last names to "Justice", because it sounded cool. Athena thought she had finally found happiness, however, it was threaten when a family wanted to adopt Matt. Naturally the only thing to do was to leave the orphanage with what little things they owned.

With Katarina leading the group they were able to survive nearly two years on the streets by stealing what they needed. They felt people wouldn't miss a few cans of food or money. This, however, didn't feel right to Matt and Athena then decided it was time to do something more with their powers then just surviving, it was time to pay back what they owed.

Interested, CS will probably be out later today/tomorrow.

Interested

Interested. Going to be working on a CS but I thought I would let ya know I've got my eye on this.

I probably shouldn't join yet another RP but since I'm a massive DC junkie and just a single DCU role play isn't enough to soothe my soul, I'm in.

Oh sweet, now I just need to figure out if I want this to be a small city or a big city. It's gonna be located like somewhere in between LA and San Diego.

What would be the major difference between a small city and a large one?

Interested.

I have an OC idea but I was wondering what sort of power levels are you looking for? Just so I have an idea beforehand and don't made them overpowered.

@Virani As long as it's not reality breaking should be fine but if your not sure PM me.

@Lightning I have PM'd you :)

@Blondie With a bigger city it's easier for your heroes to blend in and just a more crowded place over all. In a smaller city, I just think it would be interesting. Though, I think that I'm gonna have the setting in Los Angeles in a neighborhood on the outskirts of on the city in more of a harbor area.

Interested.

Oh sweet, now I just need to figure out if I want this to be a small city or a big city. It's gonna be located like somewhere in between LA and San Diego.

If you want to keep it in California then Cost City, San Francisco, and San Jose are all between Star City and L.A.

This site might help you out with the game, but it's a bit dated. It's pre-New 52 I believe.

@NinaDivine I kinda want it in southern California, there's just not many heroes in that area.

Added a bit more to La Vida and posted a CS to give an example. Also should we wait a bit longer or should I open this up?

I’m down either way

Same as Blondie here.

My only doubt right now is what character concept to use. I have a shadowlands based pseudo-sorcerer boi that I still didn't get to use but I've also been itching to write a kryptonian recently.

Well there were 5-6 interested so I think thats enough to get the ooc started.

Sure, also I'm interested too

OOC is up
