1 : This RP will be based on the DC Hero code of Ethics ( No lethal attacks) 2 : Characters will be no older than 20 (Hence the Teen in the title) and no younger than 15 (This is not a daycare) 3 : Characters can be related to existing DC heros or OCs 4 : No Superman level characters (This includes Lanterns, Shazams and other mega types) 5 : The GMs rulings are final when so stated as "This is my ruling" (I dislike endless discussion and arguments as I am sure do others) 6 : Romances and mild Romantic conflict encouraged ( Who didn't enjoy Starfire an Robin's confusing attempts to explore what each meant to the other or Beastboy's crush on Raven) 7 : Mental abilities such as Telepathy and Mind control will only be used on NPCs unless both players agree ahead of time. The exception to this is if a player says they are thinking something in their post and don't have mental shields. Example = Marcus looks at the new Lighting God Motorcycle by Wayne Inc. And thinks ~Man I wish I could afford that~ In this example Marcus is actively thinking something that to a telepathic could be considered the same as thinking out loud.
Wow! Did I just post all those rules? I personally enjoy using a light touch as far as characters are concerned.
There it is in the guidelines
I know how passionate you are about the Lanterns Matt. Had I been accepting Lanterns though a Yellow is Fear Based and seems more a character from the darkside
@RumikoOhara of course, part of the reason I like this ability is the fact usually the GM can use it as a means to keep me in line if I for any reason get to excited and go to far at any moment.
@RumikoOhara Oh, ok. If you did post those rules i can't find them anywhere else in this thread. But if you are adamant no Lanterns, i'll respect that and withdraw.
That being said, the only "Always-evil" Lanterns are the Blacks (But that's only because the only people who can become the leader of the Black Lanterns are evil people and the leader of the Black Lanterns has 100% control over the rest of the corps) Emotions aren't inherently evil, simply those who wield their emotions can do so in good and evil ways. Hense why Sinestro was able to retain his Green Lantern status, even after turning evil, because he was harnessing his will for evil purposes. The Indigo's are all about compassion and yet they will happily murder people if they think that they are suffering. Star Sapphires are a very mixed bag because half of them harness their love for good purposes, but there are those in the Star Sapphires who harness their love for downright sadistic reasons. Hell, Carol Ferris can't seem to make up her mind as to which side she's on.
On the flipside, you have characters like Arkillo, who is a Yellow Lantern who started evil, but was eventually shown the light by Guy Gardiner, they actually became the closest of friends and after Guy was taken over by the Darkstars, it was Arkillo that managed to bring him back to his senses. Arkillo remained a Yellow Lantern, because his strongest ability was his ability to instill fear, but he is a good person now. Dex-Starr is a common house cat that became a Red Lantern because his owner was murdered and then said murderer tied him up in a burlap sack and threw him off the Brooklyn Bridge. Dex's anger flows from his hatred of murderers and other people who are only out there to make the world worse. Dex is a good kitty. Hell, even Larfleez has managed to have a few good streaks in the light.
Sorry for that rant. The Lanterns are some of my favourite idea's for Heroes in comics and i get a little autistic when people generalize them. Anyway, with this amount of players, i think i'll give this one a miss and wish you all the best.
If anyone is interested I still am also ask my friends I am a total ditz when it comes to discord
I hate bots, hate em ...giggle
But apart from that Bunny Babble sorry if I don't stay linked to discord; it's for your own goods ...I mean I babble in the threads
I can begin with those I've shown interest in and I'm sorry if my expectations make some feel limited
It isn't my intention and in part it's because heavy hitters are hard to give anything to interest them ...I mean think how boring Sup's job is in general crime fighting. Bang bang ratta tat tat go the bad guys as soon as they see him and refuse to accept reality; let's face it they can be disarmed by a super clap the pressure wave like the bang of a flash bang
But Titan's Miami is the place that inspired the Smuggler's Blues so cartels maybe even a Bane like bad guy an lets not forget that Miami is one of the points of a triangle
Oh dear I am seeing all sorts of dangerous missions as long as cartels are concerned "Oh an as Titans you don't just patrol the City but even the everglades themselves and all the way to Daytona an out to sea.
Name: Gabriel Scott Age: 16 Sex: Male Physical Description:
Height: 5' 5''
Weight: 130 lbs
Hair color: Sandy Brown
Eye color: Greenish
Tattoo / Scars: None
Tends to dress mostly in a black t-shirt and blue jeans, sometimes with a red motorcycle jacket worn over the shirt.
GIFT : Cybernetic Suit
Stemming from a small and metallic device bonded to his body that was codenamed "Project Zector", Gabe uses it to transform himself into an armored, almost machine-like version of himself. The suit is durable, able to render most small caliber gunfire harmless against it. Larger caliber bullets can disrupt or penetrate the suit's defenses but only if aimed at the right locations. The Zector is equipped with two primary weapons, the Z-Blade and Z-Cannon, one of which is a superheated metallic blade whose heat allows to cut through most defenses, equipped to the left arm and extends outward like a wrist-mounted sword blade; the cannon is plasma-firing projectile weapon that the right arm appears to shape-shift into via some form of nanotechnology. A pair of rods can extend outward like long shoulder blades and can provide jet-engine like thrust for flight and hovering. The heat energy that fires from the exhaust gives it almost winged appearance. The suit's head unit is equipped with a shaded visor for concealing the user's face and is able to provide useful tactical HUD information as well. The suit is largely sky blue in color, but with dark oceanic and indigo blue trimmings to accent it. While transformed, the Zector's user can lift between 1 and 1.5 tons, or push or drag a maximum of 2 tons.
Gift Limitations Unknown Tech The origin of the Zector is largely unknown. The only person who had any knowledge of its workings or where it came from is now dead. Unfortunately, this means that Gabe is not always able to utilize the Zector's power to its fullest extent.
Transformation-Based Because the user needs to fully transform in order to wield the Zector, it renders Gabe no less vulnerable to conventional attacks than any other normal person when he's not armored up. The transformation is also not instantaneous and a smart enough foe might find an opening to attack before it can be completed.
Skills: Before being bonded to the Zector, Gabe was an accomplished track and field competitor at his school. In addition, he was working part-time at a mechanic shop and thus has some skill at fixing up common vehicles like cars and bikes.
Brief History : The story doesn't really begin with Gabe. Instead it actually begins with his father, Gerald Scott. Gerald worked as an R&D specialist in a company called ArcSystems, incidentally a subsidiary of LexCorp. Gerald was the lead researcher on a team that had discovered a mysterious metal object found buried in an Arizona desert. Believed to have fallen from space, the earliest speculation was an alien origin. Gerald studied the object tirelessly, later having dubbed it the "Zector" due to the mysterious Z-shaped insignia carved into it. And it was also Gerald who bonded with the metal object and was the first to experience the transformation.
Through all this, Gerald had been spending more and more time at work and less at home. This had begun to put a strain on his relationship to his son Gabe. Gabe was an only child, and his mother had passed away due to Leukemia a few years ago. The two were all the other had, and Gerald's increasing interest and time spent spent with the Zector had made Gabe begin to feel estranged from his own dad. Still, the time ended up paying off for the research, as Gerald had discovered the two primary weapons used by the Zector. By now his superiors had gained an interest in replicating the strange object, hoping to manufacture their own version of it that could be sold a as new advanced weapon system to the US Military. But then the incident happened.
On one late evening, while experimenting with the Zector, something came screaming down from the sky and cut its way right into the research facility. It was armored, looking eerily similar to Gerald's transformed state, but clearly not a human in the suit. Without words it went on the attack, wiping out security many researchers. Gerald attempted to stop it using the Zector, but whatever this was it outclassed him by a large margin. That is until the Zector began acting of its own accord. Early on, Gerald had discovered a sentient entity within the Zector, though he was never able to determine if it was just an AI some form of alien life. That entity, whom Gerald had nicknamed "Z" had taken control of Gerald's transformed body and began to fight much more evenly against the intruder. The resulting battle was so intense the two combatants leveled the entire ArcSystems building in their wake.
As it happened, Gabe had come to the ArcSystems building, intending to catch a ride home with his father. And like everyone else there, he too was caught up in the crossfire of the sudden battle. In the end, the Zector managed to defeat the intruder, but Gerald had become mortally wounded throughout the encounter. Gabe had also become severely injured in the fallout of the attack as well, and both father and son lay gravely injured nearby one another.
"B...bond with him..." Gerald had said between painful breaths.
"You've been mortally wounded, the suit is what's keeping you alive and will allow you to recover. If I sever the bond now... you'll die."
"I don't... care... what happens to me." said Gerald, "Please... save him... save my son."
"...As you wish."
The Zector unbound itself from Gerald, who used the last of his strength to move it over to Gabe so that it bond to him. The Zector transformed Gabe and began talking with Gerald through Gabe's body.
"That attack. It may not be the last, there could be more."
"Then... protect... my son..."
Z and Gerald had developed something of a partnership in the time Gerald spent researching the Zector. Z seemed to feel that he owed Gerald a favor after giving his life that night so that the intruder could be stopped. And so Z agreed, and has remained bonded with Gabe even now. That was a year ago, and while Gabe has slowly begun to get the hang of using the Zector, he knows very little about it. And his dad, the one man who could tell him more about it, was gone. ArcSystems was never rebuilt, apparently someone higher up in LexCorp had decided it was not worth spending the resources on, at least not yet.
I think he is done Mistress Rumi.

Brief History : Charles is from the country side, simple little place where Charles lived a normal life though one day he meet his new friend in school and was taught about games something he was isolated from, moment he touched games he became pretty obsessed with them. Constantly playing them when ever he got the chance, until one day when he was playing a game in an arcade the screen changed suddenly as the face of a villain appeared, it was Control Freak, he grinned at Charles from behind the screen before saying 'yes you'll make a perfect candidate!' The was last thing Charles heard before suddenly a beam leaped out of the screen hitting him sending him flying unconscious into a wall. Charles would wake a few days later, seeing strange menus appear in his vision, having obtained the Gamer power thanks to control freak. His family was heavily upset something like this happened 'because' he was playing video games and tried to cut him off of games but in the end wasn't completely able to. Instead they made a deal where if he spent time training in things like self restraint by learning in his friend's family dojo he could continue to play games. So that is where he spent much of his free time, he trained little in the sword listening to his best friend's father teach. Even though Charles had gained this power he didn't really use it, it was after all something given to him by a villain so why would he give that villain pleasure by using it. So Charles' life went by normal until his 16th birthday, when he was having a huge party with his family and his friend with his family. He was opening presents, some was of games, clothing the normal things. Though there was two gifts that was different, one was a reverse bladed katana, something his friend thought he would look cool with, and the other was an unnamed packed that had a small lighter, with the shape of a dragon on it. When Charles was looking at the cool design but confused who had gotten it the television suddenly switched on. Control Freak was there again, though he looked annoyed "I gave you such a gift and you sit around wasting it! no no no! my plans will never happen at this rate!! time to give an incentive!" Through the shocked faces of everyone control freak would press a button on his remote and before they knew it an electrical fire broke out in the house. The fire spread way faster than anyone could react since control freak made it start from every electrical outlet there was, pretty soon the entire place was covered in flames. Charles shouted in pain and in fear at what was happening, until he heard a voice speak to him a soft almost child like voice 'do you wish to be saved' he immediately replied 'no! save the others!' hoping his friends and family was save but the reply killed any hope the boy had. 'They are already gone.. you are all that remains...' this caused the boy great sadness but then that was replaced with rage, rage at control freak for ruining his life and his family. Sensing a sudden strong will to live the spirit spoke 'I salamander hereby form a contract with you, our lives are together, are now one..' after the spirit spoke the fire suddenly jumped away from Charles as if controlled, as Charles felt a sudden tug in his gut he would pass out again. It would be days later Charles would wake up in the hospital, by his bed would be a Hero. In the next few hours the hero would explain to Charles what happened and then ask a few questions. After a while Charles was left alone in the hospital room, left to his own thoughts. It only took Charles a moment to make his decision, he had to hunt down control freak, he had to make things right. The best way to do so would be to either join the league a place where your constantly against villains.. or join the villains themselves and eventually meet up with him. Charles thought about it realizing his feelings may not be good but he wasn't going to just hurt the many to get the one, so Charles made his decision. So moment Charles was discharged he collected his only surviving possessions and sought out the Titans, what is normally seen as the prerequisite to join the league.
Tell me if anything you would like me to modify/change of course, as I did let my mind go wild especially when working on the history.
Add a little here to describe how you dress casually and or if you like your uniform
GIFT : Twin soul-Flame
Twinsoul Flame is something the twins came up with but really their base powers are the ability to generate and control flame or different intensities. When Syrus is in control he generates red orange flames and when Sarah is in control she generates a hotter and more focused blue white flame. Both fly. Lastly they shift between male and female as they share the same body.
Gift Limitations : Limitation Due to their twin soul they never know when there will be a switch but times where Syrus gets angry he switches to Sarah. Cold weakens them to the point of not being able to use their powers if Syrus is in control and weakened version while Sarah is in control.
Skills : Syrus and Sarah are both trained in welding and architecture. In their spare time they like to build miniature buildings and objects.
Brief History : Before even being born their mother knew they would be special as their father was someone who had powers but not one who used them as they were unreliable. Sadly the twins came to harm in the womb as a their father lost control dieing soon after. Their souls on some grander scale began to merge and formed one body with two souls. Their mother devastated by learning her twins had become just one child decided upon birth she would give them up and so she did.
Not knowing their parents Syrus being born male discovered around the age of ten that he had a twin as he heard her mind in his. Around the age of twelve he shift into her as he had gotten really angry. Flames shot out of Sarah, as she called herself, they learned they were even more not normal. All if this while growing up in different foster homes was becoming more challenging. So the following years Syrus/Sarah fled and lived on the streets studying buildings and various goings on before winding up living with a mechanic. The mechanic forced Syrus/Sarah to go to school and protected them regardless of their power. He treated them as if they were normal and loved them.
Turning fifteen they had figured out how to control their power but not when they shifted between one another. With their newly adopted father teaching them welding and how to fix things without their powers they grew as people. One day in the middle of summer that year their powers were required as a shooter took to their school killing two teachers. Once Syrus shifted into Sarah and flames sprouted from her the shooter was stopped. Freaking out after seeing this happen to a kid the shooter shot tried to shot Sarah several times without success. Sarah subdued the shooter bringing him to justice. From then on they both knew they had to forge their own path. So leaving their father they became the hero Fenix, traveling and delving out justice where it was needed.
Name: Lance Prince Age: 18 Sex: Male Physical Description:
Height: 5’8”
Weight: 154 lbs
Hair color: Brown
Eye color: Blue
Tattoo / Scars: n/a
Casually, his style is reminiscent of growing up on a boat. Around the tower, he is often seen just wearing shorts and an unbuttoned shirt. His clothes tend to ere more on the worn and old kind, with even his new clothes seeming distressed. Preferring nautical styles, he often roles up long pants when he wears boat shoes, to expose his ankles. When fighting crime, he tends to keep his style reminiscent of his mother.
GIFT : Son of Themysceria
Being of Amazonian descent, Lance is strong enough to lift small cars and bend metal, fast enough to move at/beyond the high-way speed limit, durable enough to withstand being thrown off tall buildings. Making him more powerful than an ordinary human, but still much weaker than a full-blooded, mature Amazonian. While he does possess the capability to grow stronger, but he won't reach his peak for another six years, at least. Being the Son of Wonder Woman, and considered the heir to the Sons of Themyscira, he was been given several Godly Gifts, forged by Hephaestus.
Bracers Designed by Jason and forged by Hephaestus, the Bracers of Zeus are Lance's primary Godly gift. They allow him to generate lightning in his hands and hurl the bolts like his grandfather and namesake of the bracers.
The Aegis of Athena is Lance's shield. Since he is not yet fully adept at 'bullets and bracers' he relies more on using the shield to protect himself. The shield is very light, yet nearly indestructible. It can also be used as a throwing weapon, nearly always bouncing back to Lance.
Very similar to Wonder Woman's Golden Lasso of Truth, however, less powerful. It cannot force someone, to tell the truth, but they are more likely to. Giving someone bound by it, a predisposition to being truthful. It is silver in colour, compared to Wonder Woman's Gold.
Gift Limitations :Piercing Damage While he is more durable than a normal human, this is mostly applied to blunt and slashing damage. Most piercing damage will bypass his durability more effectively. Small arms, like pistols, leave a pretty substantial bruise, while larger guns can punch a hole through him. Hence why he tends to use his bracers and shield to defend himself. Relience on Godly Gifts As helpful as the gifts are, they do present their own weakness. They are linking spiritually to Lance, and as such, can be used against him using the right magic. Additionally, should one get broken, he will permanently lose some power. If all are broken, he will be rendered mortal, and have lost all of his powers forever. Skills :
Shield Fighting
Hand to Hand Combat
Fishing
Boating
Equestrian, and by extension motorcycles
Throwing
Novice Enginering
Brief History Lance Prince is the son of Diana Prince, Wonder W@oman, and Bruce Wayne, Batman, but Brice doesn't know. It was the result of their long on-again, off-again relationship. Bruce got Diana pregnant, but she didn't want him finding out. So, she pulled some strings and hid out on Themysceria to carry the child to term. With the child born, she sent the baby boy to live with her twin brother Jason. The reason for the deception was because Diana didn't want that extra stress on the relationships within the League. So, she started concocting a story. When the Justice League found out about her son, staying with Jason, she told them that he was her son with Thomas Tresser. That they had rekindled a relationship after working together with the DMA. Lance was raised by his uncle on a fishing boat. Taught how to survive at sea, and keep his powers under control. Until he turned twelve when Jason believed it was time for the boy to learn what it meant to be an Amazonian, and Son of Themysceria. First, he took the boy to Hephaestus's forge. The god and Jason helping Lance create his Godly Gifts. Now with his bracers, shield and lasso, Jason dropped him off at Themyseceria. Once there, the twins had a heated discussion about whether or not Lance should be trained as an Amazonian. She wanted her son to live a quiet normal life but conceded that he was Amazonian by birth, and to deny that heritage would be to deny himself. So, he was trained among the other Amazonian children on the island. When he turned eighteen, Diana gave him a choice. He could join the Teen Titans and start following in her footsteps to hopefully become a member of the Justice League, stay on Themysceria and be raised as a Son of Themysceria to protect the island and its people, or leave the island and live a normal life. Of course, no matter what he chose, the decision wasn't going to be final. Just a way to get him thinking about what he wanted to do. So, he chose to join the Teen Titans.
