The Justice League had been active for several years. Their membership included Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman (Naomi), Green Lantern (Alan Scott), and Robot Man. Most of them were already in their 40's, Batman was rumored to be in his 50's. Naomi of Themyscira was ageless as an Amazon. The team took down threats such as Brainiac, the rogue General Eiling, Solomon Grundy and an army of the undead, a Thanagarian Cult, and dozens of others. Days ago the Justice League nearly failed in taking down the monster from the stars called Doomsday. Superman gave his life protecting the city of Metropolis and the world was rocked. Batman also suffered a broken back during the battle with the monstrous creature. Alan Scott (Green Lantern) had already stepped away from the heroics to focus on his family and moved up north to Jump City after the birth of his twins. Several heroes and metahuman allies showed up in Metropolis to help the League defend the city during the battle. Wonder Woman and Robotman opened up the doors of Metro Tower to several of them to form the Justice League Unlimited.
The remaining JL founders: Robotman, Batman, and WW (Naomi)
Not wanting to be part of a League without Batman, the young hero from Gotham called Sideways began his own team out on the west coast called the Titans. He’d used some cash he’d been saving to buy the former ‘Timmy’s Toy Museum’ to convert into a headquarters but it was still a work in progress. The T shaped building still needed a final cleaning, with several decades old toys here and there throughout the structure. Batman would in time fund the team to help them reach their full potential.
With two vastly different teams on opposite sides of the United States, you better believe there are all manner of solo heroes AND VILLAINS in between.
Hey there, what’s up? You must like some form of DC Comics or you wouldn’t be here! Over the last year myself and others have had a ton of awesomeness come out of a series of Justice League Unlimited RPs, and that eventually morphed into DC Unlimited with me breaking one of my usual rules and allowing for multiple characters. We’re relaunching the RP with more of a focus on the different team aspects and now solo characters will only be available as secondary characters. However, this particular RP will differ from the others in that VILLAINS are now also an option, but again only as secondaries. If players want they could also just have a character on both the Titans and the JLU. Or even just use their primary characters outside of the team setting for solo adventures in between stuff that happens with the teams.
As far as the setting for this RP it’s a little sooner in the timeline than we usually start from. We generally began a year after the JLU was formed and months after Superman died. This time we’ll be picking up just ten days after his passing. The JLU is still fresh and based out of Metropolis and Sideways is putting everything he’s got into his own Titans team in San Francisco. The biggest difference in the teams will be age and experience. The Titans will be between the ages of 17-24 and have two years of experience or less. The idea is newer heroes. The League will be between the ages of 20-whatever so long as they have more than two years of experience under their belts. Solo characters and villains are completely up to you. Wanna find a hero to archvillain for in your spare time? Would you rather be a hero taking up shop in a fictional cannon or non-cannon city in the DCU? Crime’s gonna be on the rise in Gotham as well with a broken Batman and no sidekicks in our history to protect the city.
I should've posted this earlier but here's what history we have universe wise...
The universe itself is a bit of a reimagining so I’m hoping to see more cannons or reimagined canons than originals, but that’s not to say original characters won’t be accepted as several past players have used originals. Stronger character sheets and RPers in general will help build a stronger foundation for the game and take us places the other games have yet to. I’m still reworking my Character Sheet model but for now any interested parties can chime in with ideas for both Primary Characters [a Titan or League member] and Secondary Characters [solo heroes, additional team players, villains, or your hero’s continued adventures away from the teams].
I’ll be using a reimagined Firestorm in the JLU as a Primary as well as a Secondary character/NPC with Sideways in our universe’s Titans.
Thanks for stopping by!
