Fifteen years ago, an alien known as Lobo came to our planet. He attacked Washington D.C and a took the president hostage. It became an international incident and the revelation of alien life on the planet. Despite man's best efforts, the military was hopeless at stopping Lobo, and what would eventually save President Calvin Ellis, was the unlikely trio of the last son of Krypton, the dark defender of Gotham and the exiled warrior-princess of Themyscira. Together they defeated Lobo and sent him back into space where he came from, motorcycle and all. Shortly after, they founded the Justice League and used the previously defunct Hall of Justice, that had been used by the Justice Society of America back during the War. With the hall their base of operations, the three would recruit other dignified heroes and soon their ranks grew.
The world relished in not just having heroes, but a league of their own? It was incredible. The golden age of heroes began anew, and together the Justice League has fought countless enemies. In the decade and a half that followed, their numbers have increased many times over and their influence has grown past their own ranks. Their protegés formed their own team, the Teen Titans. Teenagers who took after the heroes and carved their own path in the world. Some of them are even third generation legacies by now.
But this story isn't about the Justice League, or the Titans.
This story is about those that grew into the hero business without official means. Those that didn't get raised into being a hero by a eccentric billionaire, weren't sent here with great destiny or came from royalte. This story is about the heroes who won't give an inch. Won't care about the optics and won't let the boot of conformity step on their necks.
They're heroes in their own rights, but above all they're Renegades...
Gist is taking a break from the normal formulaic Superhero stuff I engage in here on the guild and write something casual, simple and fun. The basic rules are pretty simple. Justice League was formed in 2006, Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman were the founders and everything else is up in the air. If you have a reason to use them to further your character's concept, go for it. If not, don't.
Our characters are teenage heroes who don't fit into being Titans, who weren't raised as protegés of Leaguers. It might be because their dad's Deathstroke or because they just recently discovered their powers. Maybe they're the newest green lantern and the GL's in the league likes them even less than they like Guy. I don't mind too much, go nuts. All I ask is that you've done some thinking about how the character would fit into a group of 'problem teens' who's one goal is to save people and protect life at all costs, so no discount suicide squad.
As for posts, I'm aiming for pure casual. 1 - 2 paragraphs is expected and keep from writing more than five paragraphs a post. I'm thinking quick and easy 5 minute posts to both write and read and a pretty hefty pace, so if you decide this is something you'd be into, just assume I'll be expecting you to post twice a week.
Character sheet. I don't care if you use mine, but just include all the information I ask for.
