So is it a costal city?
Thinking of making an Atlantean.

Sort of. It's far enough away that a Tidal wave wouldn't wipe it out completely if that makes sense xD

So just a bit of clarification. The Titans have also been the Teen Titans when they were originally the sidekicks of the JLA put into one team before becoming their own thing, and when the team went defunct, they were eventually made up from Young Justice members who graduated to their teen years (yes, working on very old comics knowledge, but I'm a bit out of touch with comics these days). They started originally as a kid appeal team before becoming the teen appeal team (Teen Titans), and moved up to Young Adult interest while the JLA remains the "big boys" of the DC Universe.

Would the Titans here be made on the assumption of restarting the team as another Teen Titans incarnation, or straight to a more 'grown ups' mode as the Titans? If you noticed, Brightstar was pretty much written up to be a Teen Titan, though she can still be the baby of the team in a Titans incarnation.

They went straight to a more grown up mode just because they were forced to fight things that would give some of the more seasoned heroes pause. Most of them were older when they joined.

So I decided to not go straight up Blue Beetle. But I did keep the whole alien artifact combining with a regular guy.

It's near the edge of the eastern seaboard from what I remember. Very large city and it's not near any mountain ranges as I recall.

<Snipped quote by The Man Emperor>

I'm good with this character except for the fact he knew Viran. The only ones who would know him would have been the characters from the original RP. I'll work with Viran having a passing familiarity with him though due to his actions in the city. He'd probably be keeping a very close eye on him recently however and will be reaching out to him in very short order.

Dragoon [+]

Real Name:

Lowell George

Hero Name:

Dragoon

Appearance:

Lowell stands at roughly 5’7’’ with a slim build and pale skin. His hair is blond and short, and parted to the side with added silver streaks. Clothing wise Lowell wears simple jeans and t-shirts, and usually some form of jacket or sweater over it. He used to wear glasses over his emerald eyes, but since fusing with the Dragonheart he no longer requires them.

Lowell is fused with the Dragonheart, a crimson orb-like device that is embedded in the centre of his chest. When he activates the Dragonheart, it spreads nano-machines throughout his body that form a thin but durable chrome armour around his entire body. Lowell also sprouts mechanical wings that glow with a blue energy that allows for flight. Two gauntlets also form on his hands, also glowing with blue energy. Lowell can at any time deactivate the Dragonheart, causing all the nano-machines to instantly break down and return to the orb.

Sex:

Male

Age:

19

Powers:

Lowell’s powers come from the Dragonheart, a piece of alien technology embedded in his chest. The Dragonheart has a basic AI built into it, one that can telepathically communicate with Lowell, explaining things and offering advice. Lowell has the ability to tell the Dragonheart to activate, triggering a flood of nano-machines to leave the device and cover Lowell’s body in a layer of armour. This armour is super durable and grants super strength to Lowell. The nano-machines also create wings, which when powered by the blue energy flowing through it allows for flight in any environment. A pair of power gauntlets are also formed, which allow to Lowell to fire the blue energy or create a temporary shield. As a last resort Lowell can shoot Dragonfire, a powerful beam of energy that originates from the core of the Dragonheart itself. While devastatingly powerful, it takes up a lot of the energy of the Dragonheart and could result in it shutting down.

Personality:

Lowell usually comes off as a nice guy, someone pleasant to be around. He rarely takes things too seriously and is always down to try new things. However, he is also not the most reliable guy, and many who know him long enough know that not to put too much faith in him. While he has made efforts to try and improve himself, Lowell is not really sure how and often falls back on the same negative behaviours.

While in his Dragoon alter-ego, Lowell is still a fun loving guy who is always ready to make a joke. Despite the danger involved, Lowell views being a hero as a fun hobby. As such he tends not to pay too much attention to the safety of others, while being confident that he is safe in his armour.

History:

In ancient times there existed a kingdom on Earth called Hyporia. A jewel of society among the primitive people of the planet, Hyporia attracted the attention of rival alien races, the Rulgi and the Ophideus. The Rulgi experimented on the natives of Hyporia, granting them many super-powers. In turn the Ophideus created the Dragonhearts, artifacts that combined with the humans and gave them battle armour. It wasn’t long until the two sides clashed, the battle destroying all of Hyporia. In the end all the Dragonhearts were seemingly destroyed, save one that remained hidden in the ruins. The surviving empowered of Hyporia left for other lands, fading into myth. Eventually the Rulgi and Ophideus departed Earth, leaving almost no trace that they were ever there.

Fast forward to modern day and Lowell George is born, son of two novelists living in Second City. Lowell was the younger son of the family, his brother Darren born four years before. Growing up Lowell and Darren were very close, sharing many interests such as movies, martial arts, and food. However it would soon become apparent that Darren was the high achiever, while Lowell just coasted by. Darren would make the honour roll and write for the school paper, while Lowell would do the bare minimum academically and maybe try out for a sports team. Lowell soon came to believe that his parents valued Darren more than him, causing him to have a more strained relationship with his brother.

Eventually, Lowell graduated from high school, unsure of what to do next. He had decided to take a year off before applying for college, wanting to explore the world. For a while he considered becoming a novelist like his parents, but found that he didn’t have the drive to write. So he found a job at a grocery store, working for minimum wage. This didn’t help with how Lowell viewed himself in relation to others. Knowing that his older brother was working on a master’s degree in history at Second City University, Lowell tried to get interested in studies as well. To that end he decided to go to a local museum as they had an exhibit on recently found relics from the ruins of Hyporia.

While Lowell checked out the exhibit, the museum was attacked by a gang of mercenaries looking to loot the exhibition. In the excitement of the attack, Lowell bumped into an exhibit, causing an orb to fall toward him. When the orb touched Lowell it combined with him, explaining that it was a Dragonheart. With the help of the built in AI, Lowell transformed into a battle armour and was able to fight off the mercenaries. Keeping the Dragonheart a secret, Lowell decided to try and see if being a superhero was his calling. So by day he worked at the grocery store, but by night he defended Second City as the Dragoon.

Family:

- Alfred George (Father, 53, Novelist)
- Maria George (Mother, 51, Novelist)
- Darren George (Brother, 23, Student)

Equipment:

Besides the Dragonheart, which grants him powers and a helpful AI, Lowell doesn’t carry much. Usually all that he has on him is his phone, wallet, and a gaming handheld.

Skills:

Lowell doesn’t have many job related skills as he hasn’t pursued post-secondary education. What he does know is some Tae Kwon Do, from childhood martial arts classes, and car repair, thanks to shop class. Lowell is also a pretty good singer, but he doesn’t often sing.

Theme Song:

deadmau5 feat. Rob Swire - Ghosts N Stuff

Real Name: Brett Hastings
Hero Name: Typhoon
Appearance: Standing at just over 6’5, Brett Hastings is a mountain of a man. Skin tanned from years of working on boats and outdoors. A muscular frame from a regular training regiment.
Having moved to Second City in an attempt to leave the Hero’s life behind. As such he doesn’t have much of a hero costume anymore. Often reluctantly fighting crime in his casual clothes. Which is often a white T shirt and jeans.
Sex: Male
Age: 29
Powers: Brett Hastings is a Half Atlantean who studied for most of his childhood at the Silent School. As such, has the following powers.
Atlantean Physiology - The Atlanteans are offshoots of humanity that are biologically adapted to the deep ocean environment. All their abilities are by-products of their bodies being adapted to survive unprotected in the tremendous pressures of the ocean depths.

Magic -

Personality: Brett Hastings is a reluctant hero. He wasn’t always. When he was younger he really enjoyed fighting crime and protecting the ocean. However, he was in the game long. He lost a few too many friends. Saw the world wasn’t changing for the better. So, he got out. Some other Atlantean Mystic or Royal stepped up and took his place. He didn’t know or care. Someone always did. He still has his code of honour though. He won’t stand idly by while witnessing a crime. He will step in and help. He just doesn’t actively go out and look for crime. At least he doesn’t mean to. With his apartment in the bad part of town, and most nights spent in shitty dive bars, he often finds himself stepping in to stop petty crime.
History: Brett Hastings was born in Atlantis, to an Atlantean mother and Human Father. Growing up in Atlantis, it was discovered that he had a knack for the mystic arts. Despite being half human he was reluctantly accepted into the Silent School. Despite being mocked and ridiculed during his studies for being half human, the human half seemed to allow him a stronger connection to the mystical energies. Brett never knew his father, but it was hypothesised by the Silent School Faculty that he may have been a powerful magician.
When Brett was sixteen he made a mistake that would severely injure three other students. As such, he was kicked out of the Silent School. Being half Human meant that few people were willing to support him, so he made it his mission to prove himself. So, he set off on a pilgrimage to prove to others, and most importantly himself, that he was Atlantean. Traveling to all the known Kingdoms of Atlantis. First traveling to Kingdom of the Fishermen, where he learned how Atlantean technology worked. Here he created his hydro pulse pistols that would serve as his sidearms for the rest of his journey, and into his heroic career. Then he made his way to the Brinedom. Where he fought and trained with the crustacean-like people that lived there. To prove his martial prowess to the Brinedom and earn their respect, Brett was tasked with spending a month in the Trench. By using bioluminescent magic and locking himself in a cave, he survived and returned to the Brinedom with a head of a Trench Dweller. So, he continued his pilgrimage. Making his way to Xebel. Where he learned to master his mystic abilities. Making connection with the Clear, and seeing how magic could fuse with Atlantean technology. It was here he learned of the Kingdom of the Deserters and their fabled forge. So, he once again packed up, this time leaving the ocean. Heading inland to find the Kingdom of the Deserters.
Once he found it, he put all he had learnt into practice to forge a trident. Combining Atlantean magic and technology to make a weapon worthy of Atlantis.
With his new Weapon he returned to Atlantis. Only to be greeted by none other than the king. Brett Hastings, who was now twenty one, had a reputation now. One that the King had heard. Brett was pushed into the role of Protector of the Seas. Which lasted all of four years before he got tired of living in the King’s shadow. The world never changed. So, Brett left the ocean and moved to Second City, where he bought a shitty apartment. Worked at a water treatment plant during the day, and drank at shitty bars at night.
Equipment: The only equipment of note that Brett Hastings still has are his pistols and Trident. Though the Trident is hung up as decoration in the bar he frequents as decoration, and the blasters are in a locked box under his bed.

Atlantean Physiology - The Atlanteans are offshoots of humanity that are biologically adapted to the deep ocean environment. All their abilities are by-products of their bodies being adapted to survive unprotected in the tremendous pressures of the ocean depths.

Amphibious Nature: Typhoon, as an Atlantean, can breath underwater and on land. He can be immersed indefinitely without suffering any ill effects but being Atlantean Hybrid due to his human lineage, he can survive on land longer than an average Atlantean. This length can be extended by the humidity in the atmosphere but eventually prolonged dehydration will weaken him thus he must return to aquatic environment at various period.
Enhanced Vision: His ability to see in the murky depths of the ocean allows him exceptional night vision while on land. He has claimed that his eyes are adapted to see at 6,000 fathoms (or 36,000 feet below the surface of the water).
Enhanced Hearing: several times more acute than human capacity.
Enhanced Smell: several times more acute than human capacity.
Superhuman Strength
Superhuman Stamina
Superhuman Durability
Superhuman Reflexes: Typhoon’s reflexes are on the order of 12-15 times faster than a normal human.

Magic -

Electricity Generation: Using magic, Typhoon can create bolts of electricity and throw them.
Hydrokinesis: He inherited the ability to mystically control water and water-based solutions for a variety of effects. He can manipulate water currents, create whirlpools and water columns, and boil or freeze vast bodies of water.
Mystical Detection: He can sense and locate the presence of mystical beings and identify them as such on sight.
Connection with the The Clear: Typhoon can communicate with marine life and even make them obey him. His connection to The Clear also bolsters his Hydrokinetic abilities.

Out of curiosity, do you want a small group or a large one? For some reason, this game is showing both tags, so maybe that's confusing people.

I wanted at least four people besides myself. We have that so I'll be starting up the RP either sometime today or tomorrow. If anyone else is interested they can ask in the OOC now.

I'm still interested, just trying to think of a character that fits this kind of setting and theme...

@Chev would you accept a Blue Beetle character? Specifically, I was thinking of one along the lines of Dan Garrets tenure. He doesnt realize that his Beetle is alien, thinking that its magical. He learns "Spells" to activate its abilities, when in actuality, he's learning Reach language and the beetle is responding to it.

I think we have a character based off of Blue Beetle right now, Let me think on it.

While my character was initially going to be Blue Beetle, I instead made it a different alien artifact powering him. I think there would be enough difference between my character Dragoon and a Blue Beetle. We could even have potential storylines that the Reach and the Ophideus aliens were rivals. But that's just my two cents, as it's ultimately up Chev.

Gave it some though, I say go for it :)

Sadly, i am probably going to need a few days to get the CS done as i need some dental work done tomorrow. But i did spend today making a micro-image for him, based off of Dan Garrett's Earth-19 costume, although a little more gold to try and break up the colours.

Alright, I'll put up the starting post sometime today or tomorrow.

Would it be okay if Brightstar is basically enjoying her first day flying through Second City and Varian recruits her that way? Also, as someone who wasn't there for previous iterations of the RP, how much would Penny know about Second City and Titans Lore, as a somewhat dedicated superheroics nerd?

Sorry for the late reply, haven't been feeling the best.

Viran will most likely be reaching out to the new recruits after nightfall. He's going to have been observing you folks for a while. And Penny would likely know about War, Death and Genocide, the genetically engineered alien tyrants that he was forced to fight and the Valkorian refugees living outside the city along with some of the new technology they've brought to the world in general. Some of the other Titans activity has been kept classified by the government and other Superhero teams in general due to the nature of some of the threats they've fought.

Just wanted to do one last check to see if everyone is ready for the opening post.
