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...


P R E M I S E



In a world where the battle between the renowned Justice League and The Light has made it's mark on the path of society for the past decade, order versus chaos is at an all time high. Polarization's everywhere, from die hard hero fans to those that belive the League requires regulation and oversight. Those that believe in truth and justice, and those that believe in personal gain. A battle between good and evil, that frankly has gone on far longer than the League or The Light has been around. It's been the cause of almost every major conflict on the planet for the past decade.

Inbetween these two giants shall now a third force grow. In young heroes who believe in their own justice. The kind not made with politics or larger-than-life heroics. The kind you get with heart and effort. The kind only true believers can get. They are Renegades, young heroes who haven't been poisoned by the world.

The team were all recruited and housed by the leader, Julian for the purpose of standing up to the League and The Light. Most of the team would know almost nothing about the existence of the light, but rather know it's individual members and their villainous deeds.
The team was founded recently by the start of the IC, we'll get started on our first real mission and will therefor not know each other particularly well, but it's encouraged for characters to have prior relationship, hence the use of the relationship sheet.

S E T T I N G


The team operates out of Seattle, Washington. Out of a penthouse belonging to the real estate mogul and frankly, bad guy Morgan Edge. The team all share the penthouse with their own living quarters in the three floor apartment. There's a well stocked kitchen and a regular gym. The Renegades lacks the resources of either the League or The Light and therefor equipment is scarce and we cannot do as much incredible stuff as either of the other two factions could.

Info's a WIP and will be added to as we build the world with our character sheets.

Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist, son of a supervillain.
VIRDEUS


Julian Alexander Luthor Male 18 Cadmus Level XXXIII.I
C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T:


"A fight isn't about who's got the bigger stick. It's about who's got the best leverage."


Julian Luthor is the latest, and last project headed by the genetics division in New Cadmus. He was created using Lex Luthor's DNA plus the DNA left behind from when the destroyer, Doomsday seemingly killed Superman, eight years ago. Julian was built with Lex's own brainwaves, plus a body meant to perfectly hold the kryptonian DNA, unlike his brothers in projects KR and 'Match'. Julian's purpose was to serve as a new body for Lex, an empty vessel. Yet somewhere in the process, the husk grew a mind of it's own. Perhaps stimulated by the genomorphs who helped create him. Soon, Lex came to see him as more of a son than a escape plan. Julian was raised within the confines of Cadmus, growing quickly and fast, appearing a teenager within a year and his powers would soon manifest.

His powers proved too much for him, or the handlers to control. Julian would instead spend the next year of his life in a cell, being radiated with red sunlight every single day to keep his kryptonian side in check. Here he'd grown to his current age, approximately 18. He would spend his time reading and tinkering with whatever he would be given and Lex would take distance from him, further putting up walls between himself and his would-be son.

Julian's imprisonment came to an end when the Justice League found out about Cadmus's level 33.1, where Lexcorp and his Light had been doing countless experiments on metahuman teenagers, aliens and even dabbled in magic. It made headline news the world over and many of the teenagers were rescued. All of the data surrounding Julian's creation was destroyed by one of the scientists at Cadmus, ensuring he could never be remade. Julian's mind was fragile upon being rescued and he lashed out, unable to control his powers, he was taken to the north pole and Kal-El's fortress of solitude. There, the boy was helped by the Martian Manhunters telepathy, going through weeks of therapy, and soon he chose to steal something from the Kryptonian's vault. The blue rock that would help him forge his own destiny.

Since, Julian's been inspired to help people in his own way, he did not wanna stick by Superman or the League, and he certainly did not want to reconnect with his estranged father. Yet, he had memories of Lex. Datapoints, feelings and instincts shared between both of his genetic matches. He strives to create something standing outside of the polarities of good and evil - break away from the binary of Luthor or El. His cryptonym reflects this choice, Virdeus is latin for 'mangod'. Julian is powered by perhaps the greatest rivalry on earth, and he aims to stand above it all.


A B I L I T I E S:

10th Level Intellect: Thanks to his genetic makeup, genome training and studies, Julian is an equal in raw intelligence to his progenitors. He's as pragmatic and cunning as Luthor, yet as optimistic and a master of solving problems, just like Superman. He proves to hold spatial awareness, scientific know-how and creative intelligence all enough to rival the older Luthor, or Superman himself. Given time and dedication, Julian could match any of the other geniuses on earth. His interest piques around engineering and technology, though. With a additional interest in people skills and learning how people act. His intellect is at odds with his empathy - the willingness to put people into folders and turn them into numbers, yet his ability to feel with them on a deeply emotional level. He can't shake that he's an outsider to things and certainly not normal but he wishes to learn how to adapt.

Kryptonian Powers:
Unlike his brothers in project 'MATCH', The Superboy, as well as the failed clone simply known as 'KR', Julian has all of the kryptonian powers under a yellow sun. It's been a few years since he used his abilities last, meaning they've only grown in power since he destroyed Cadmus and gave the League a run for their Wayne-sponsored money.

Yet, Julians powers are subdued thanks to the blue kryptonite on his hand. He lacks control and chooses not to use them. And frankly, they disgust him. He does not enjoy the power his physical body grants him, and instead searches for other avenues to further his heroics. Therefor, his powers are a well guarded secret that very few outside of the Leaguers who found him know about.


C H A R A C T E R M O T I V A T I O N S & G O A L S:

Julian's a Luthor, capable of being a Superman, but he's sure he doesn't want to be either of them. He's smart, he's resourceful and he's a problem solver. He's a leader and he's flawed, both from a lack of experience and a lack of exposure. He doesn't know much about life, he understands data and facts. Emotions overwhelm him and he doesn't understand, but he wants to. He's a young man trying to find his place in the world, bearing the pressure of knowing that he could do so much more.

He founded the Renegades for that very purpose, to do more. To do it differently. To fight the people that needs fighting, and save the people that needs saving, everything else is secondary.


C H A R A C T E R N O T E S:

Basic Stats:
6'0, athletic build, blue eyes and ginger hair. The fair looks of Luthor and the strong features of Superman. Seen wearing some variation of business casual or athletic clothes.

Information about the world:

He holds information about The Light that he keeps secret from The Renegades for the time being, not wanting to make themselves a bigger target before they're able to handle the load. The revelation of a supervillain cabal of evil would probably be a little much for a job description.

Julian has a complex relationship to Lex Luthor. A part of him thinks of Lex as his dad, certainly more than he would think anyone who wears a big S on their person family. But he also cannot reconcile the things Lex have done, not just to Julian or the others at Cadmus, but to the world. Every incident, every bit of evil. The very purpose for Julian's life was to give Lex the opportunity to kill Superman - A tool, was all Julian was meant to be. A weapon. An instrument for destruction.

Instead, he's become a force for good. Using his intelligence to hack financial records of bad men, sell medical hardware so in his short months out in the world he's already made a big impact. But he realizes that blackmailing Morgan Edge into giving him the penthouse to run his operation out of isn't enough.

Julian holds a big variety of technology at his disposal. None of the mare as fancy, expensive or high-tech as Lex's. Most notably is the blue steel-banded ring on his right hand. Covered in a near-indestructible alloy lies the blue mineral that gives Julian a choice in life. It's what negates his powers and makes him just a man.

Besides that, he carries a phone with the most advanced hardware on the planet, rivalring that of Batman's computer that he can use to hack just about anything. He also owns two 'Machinas' Or 'M&Ms', cylindrical spheres that are able to perform a variety of things, from firing laser beams to scanning forensic evidence, to applying first aid and generating forcefields. Though his equipment can be improved on with just the right tools and resources. Julian has no ambitions of doing much fighting himself.

Well so far the crew looks like:

A satanic bastardization of science to make a human-alien hybrid

A person who has had her soul destroyed by cybernetics

A flesh-eating monster from space sent to wipe out mankind

And a godless pagan witch

Time to win over some hearts and minds.

No powers, no problem. Kneecaps and elbows are fine to shoot. And you can kill anything that doesn't have a face.

Or a soul.

Just y'know. Make it a hero and not an anti-hero. We might be mistaken for 'em, but we ain't actually the suicide squad. Strictly against murder.
