Nine months ago, Lincoln was introduced to the superhero known as Cyborg through circumstances he'd rather left unmentioned. Under the light of a Hunter's Moon, Lincoln lost control of his curse and set upon the Midwestern town he called home at the time.
Eventually, Cyborg was able to get the young man to regain control, but not before several tragedies laid in his wake. Horrified by his actions and knowing a conventional prison would never hold him, Lincoln sought repentance by learning to control his curse and working to become a hero.
M I S C E L L A N E O U S ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔
I'm picturing Link being the team's 'Hulk' so to speak. The berserking monster you don't really trust but appreciate having in your corner.
Lincoln is the son of the wealthy Senator Conall Thrope and his wife Lycia Thrope neé Shaw. Lycia comes from old money, whereas Conall is of 'new' money, though there's a dark side to his fortune and in hushed circles, it's referred to as blood money.
The Triple Goddess is the triunity of three distinct aspects, the Virgin (or maiden), Mother and Crone (alternatively Hag) and is the being responsible for cursing Lincoln with Lycanthropy. Her consort, the Horned God is also antagonistic towards Link. Much like his consort, the Horned God is triune in nature and is made up of the Warrior(or Youth), Father and Sage. Appearing either in the form of the Oak King or the Holly King, the Horned God rules aspects that drive Link's primal nature. Nature, wilderness, sexuality, hunting, and the life cycle, the Horned God represents the unity of the divine and nature, and it's only through gaining both the Horned God's favour and the forgiveness of the Triple Goddess that Lincoln can break the curse set upon him.
The change into the beast under a full moon is representative of the Mother's Curse upon Lincoln for his attempt to deflower the Maiden. It is his punishment being revealed over and over again and symbolic of reminding those near him of the animal lying beneath the surface.
In an effort to reduce Lincoln's triggers, Cyborg has Link currently trying a vegetarian diet and especially avoiding red meat. Additionally, Lincoln has been suggested to regularly see the Academy's student therapist. Lastly, the staff has requested that he perform daily meditation sessions in order to center and ground himself to avoid any unnecessary transformations.

P O W E R S & A B I L I T I E S ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ As a sixteen-year-old, Lincoln was cursed with lycanthropy by the Triple Goddess. This resulted in unpredictable changes into a werewolf and even months lost in the woods as a giant wolf. Over the past five years, and especially in the past nine months, Lincoln has learned his triggers and how to control the wolf within. Below are the details of his curse, its benefits and its drawbacks.
It should be noted that the transformations themselves are not comfortable and if forced whether by a full moon or a loss of control, can be excruciatingly painful to Lincoln which only leaves him in a more dangerous and enraged state.
◼ WOLF-MAN(STAGE I)
A partial transformation, Lincoln is only capable of summoning some attributes of his curse. This includes claws, pointed teeth and ears. In this form, Lincoln is most in control, though generally it's prompted by sudden mood swings such as fear or anger, it can also be prompted by baser appetites ranging from hunger to lust. Lincoln can call upon aspects of the wolf to aid him either in battle or in mundane utilities such as checking for spoiled milk.
A fuller transformation, in this form Lincoln is fully embraced by his curse. The werewolf possesses strength and durability well above those of a human and while Lincoln is faster in this form than he is transformed, it still lacks in speed compared to his final form. A lightning bruiser, Link relies on his speed and strength to quickly and brutally take down foes. His durability is impressive, though easily cut through using any of his vulnerabilities. Notably, Lincoln loses the ability to communicate conventionally and is reduced to grunts, gestures and nods to convey his thoughts or opinions without the presence of a telepath.
The werewolf form is more prone to sudden mood shifts due to bloodlust and Lincoln can lose himself to the beast if left transformed for periods of extended time. As such, he generally leaves patroling to other more capable heroes and instead acts as a guy in the chair for the team.
The direwolf form looks more like a giant wolf than it does a werewolf and is the purest transformation that the curse provides. Lincoln fears being trapped in this form as his mind is weakest to the animal within. Though lacking thumbs and the dexterity of his other forms, the direwolf form is fastest and both large and strong enough to carry two human riders.
Like the werewolf form, Lincoln lacks the ability to communicate through speech in this form and must instead rely upon the interpretation of others.
L I M I T A T I O N S & W E A K N E S S E S ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ◼ BLOODLUST
The Wolf's need for blood is as much a strength as it is a weakness. While the bloodlust makes Lincoln an impressive combatant, it's also a surefire way to lose not only control but himself to the Wolf. In the event of this, Link is as much a threat to his friends as he is to his foes.
◼ LUNAR PHASES
Lunar Phases have a significant effect on Link's abilities. While a full moon can cause an uncontrollable transformation, especially under a Blood Moon or a Hunter's Moon, a New Moon can make the transformation nearly impossible to summon.
◼ SILVER
Just like the legends say, Link is vulnerable to silver. It burns to the touch, easily cuts through his hide and if bound by it, prevents his transformations.
◼ TRANSFORMATION
The time it takes Link to transform leaves him vulnerable, in addition to the pain of the actual transformation. If already weakened or wounded, attempting to transform or being forced to could cause him to lapse into unconsciousness or worse. If left transformed, particularly at Stage II or III for too longer, Lincoln may have trouble reverting to a human form. There is the potential for the curse to become permanent if Lincoln loses control in a sustained state of transformation.
◼ WOLFSBANE
Much like silver, aconite or Wolfsbane, can be fatal to Lincoln, especially if ingested. Weapons laced with traces of aconite whether, by an oil, poison or other solution can inflict grievous wounds upon Lincoln and easily bypass his defenses.
◼ VISION
While some stages of his transformations gain night vision, as a whole Link's vision does not improve and in fact in general gets worst. While it's a common myth that canines only see in black in white, this does not negate the fact that when transformed, Lincoln develops an exaggerated form of colorblindness that can make his teammates difficult to distinguish in certain settings, especially in well-lit locations or under sunlight.

Assertive ● Repentant ● Stoic Originally the spoiled son of a state senator, growing up Lincoln had want of nothing. That all changed on his sixteenth birthday when in a twist of fate, the girl he scorned turned out to be the Maiden, an aspect of the Triple Goddess. Disgusted by the vain cruel boy, the Triple Goddess cursed the boy with lycanthropy so that the world would see him for the beast he was.
Though he thought he had a handle on the curse, Lincoln would go on to lose control several times until he was eventually confronted with the fact he couldn't handle it on his own. This eventually brought him under the membership of Cyborg and the Flash, finding him a place at the Titans' Academy.
Cyborg's triumphant cry echoed across the intersection as Lincoln nodded his appreciation toward the superhero. The sonic blast above his head had deflected the considerable piece of debris that Cinderblock had thrown his way. Cracking his neck, Lincoln jumped over the cement barricade left behind by the construction crew that had been working to repair the water main now flooding the scene of their battle.
"What's the blockhead even want here?" Link growled towards Cyborg who simply shrugged from behind cover. His sonic cannon was held tight against his chest, readying another blast.
Looking from Cyborg, back to the approaching concrete man, Lincoln let out an agonized cry. Even in the din of the city, the sound of his breaking bones rearranging themselves seemed to loudest noise. Though it was only moments for those watching, it felt like an eternity for Link as the pain nearly rendered him unconscious. His cry turned to a howl and suddenly Cinderblock found himself knocked backwards.
Sliding along the crumbling asphalt, the statue of a man moved to defend himself as a blur of silver and black fur suddenly was atop him. Claws and fangs dug into the stony shell of a man. Cinderblock's attempts to defend himself from the creature only caused Blitzkrieg to dig in further.
Another blast of the sonic cannon caught Cinderblock across the chest sending fractures through his body. A loud crack suddenly sent a stillness through the air as Blitzkrieg landed on the ground in front of his foe. Rubble littered the werewolf's feet as the remainder of the stone man's arm crumbled from his mouth.
Let me guess, only a flesh wound.
Link thought to himself as the wounded supervillain steadied himself for another attack. The unmistakable sound of Cybrog's weapon charging for another strike caused Blitzkrieg's ears to twitch.
"I think it's time to finish this," The former Titan called, "I've got the sonic, if you've got the boom!"
A howl from Blitzkrieg was all Cyborg needed as he let the shoot loose. The last thing Cinderblock saw after the blinding flash of blue hit him was Blitzkrieg's fangs descending upon him.

A literal fish out of water, 'His Majesty' has decided to grace the academy with his attendance and Lincoln couldn't be any less thrilled. There's a lot of his old self he sees in the Dragonson, and while a Prince certainly outranks a Senator's son in terms of position, the sense of elitism and entitlement that comes from these titles are universal. Lincoln will be keeping an eye on Kwang-Jo, if only to help the Prince not repeat Link's own past mistakes, though if he was more honest with himself, Link would realize it was more out of envy than actual concern.

Though Link would loathe anyone to know, he has quickly developed a soft spot for Kennedy since the girl's arrival at the academy. The two of them have similar backgrounds, coming from places of privilege before having it stripped away due to circumstance. Admittedly, in Link's case, this was due to his own poor choices where Kennedy was actually trying to do the right thing. Despite this, he still sees them as kindred spirits and actively looks for opportunities to get to know her better.

Probably one of the friendliest faces around the academy, which is, in Link's opinion, odd as she's from Gotham. Gothamites are not known for their sunny disposition in life. She doesn't live at the academy which means Link hasn't had much of a chance to get to know her yet, though he's quite curious if she was trained by the legendary Dark Knight himself.

Often in nature, the more flamboyant and beautiful something is, the more likely it's bad for you in some way. Whether it's poisonous, venomous or just plain dangerous. Perhaps it's with this instinct in mind that Link prefers not to allow himself to become particularly infatuated with the beautiful Arina. There's no argument that she's a stunning young woman, or that she has an air of class and grace Lincoln hasn't seen since attending events with his father. But the girl clearly would rather be anywhere at the academy and reminds Link far too much of his old self.
He'd be remiss to relapse into those behaviours again.

Much like Link, Sarina has a past left best undiscussed. Where Lincoln himself was a spree murderer, Sarina was a career criminal until the intervention of Flash and Cyborg. She's been attending the Academy longer than him, though not much longer to the best of Link's understanding. A true firecracker, she lives up to her abilities and is always burning brightest in any room.

Within Rufus' first hour at the academy, Lincoln had already considered giving up the 'atoner' gig and devouring the speedster, hat and all. There was just one problem, have you ever seen a wolf chase a rabbit? Except this rabbit had chugged four litres of red bull and snorted six lines of coke.
He was very fast.

There's something captivating about a girl with an accent and although Link at times struggles to understand what Jiri is saying, he's more than happy to listen to her say it. Like most students, she's relatively new to the academy, but unlike most students, she's also relatively new to the country. Link has noticed that she seems to hang around the kitchen in the evening while the desserts for the following day are being prepared. Normally he'd chalk this up to someone wanting to snag an extra treat but there's more intention behind Jiri's actions.
Maybe she just hasn't learned you can watch cake videos on YouTube yet?

Pre-deceased, Shayera Thal was the hero known as Hawkwoman and the wife of Katar, using the assumed alias of Shiera Hall on Earth. A warrior to the end, Shayera died facing the foe known as Despero, attempting to protect the civilian, Lois Lane. Both ultimately ended up losing their lives to the alien marauder.
◼ KENDRA SAUNDERS
A fugitive Thangarian trapped in a human body, Princess Chay-Ara was murdered by insurgents using a knife forged of the same celestial metal that Hath-Set had used to murder Katar and Shayera nearly a millennia earlier. Awakening in the body of a formerly suicidal teen, Kendra Saunders, Chay-Ara is forced to adapt to her new setting and seek out the last surviving Wingman, Katar Hol.

Katar and Shayera Hol were a pair of alien law enforcement known on their homeworld of Thangar as 'Wingmen'. Thangar was the Capital of the Thanagarian Empire, the successor to the Polaran Empire which had previously ruled the Polaris System. In the spirit of their predecessors, the Thanagarians had become an expansionist race that plundered other worlds and stripped them of their resources and treasures to fund their ever-expanding fleet. Numerous members of their conquered worlds were taken as slaves and used to further the goals of the Thanagarians.
As Wingmen, Katar and Shayera were responsible for ensuring the general populace's obedience to the Empire and among their duties was prisoner transportation. It was this duty they were carrying out when the pair's patrol craft was pulled through a wormhole before crashlanding on Earth nearly five thousand years ago. Surviving the crash, Katar and Shayera found themselves on an unfamiliar world in a foreign system. Seeking out a settlement, the pair found their way to Memphis.
The Egyptians were astonished by the pair of Thanagarians and immediately became enamoured with their visitors due to the resemblance of their armour to the god, Horus. Welcomed with open arms, the pair were worshipped as gods by the people who believed that Horus had blessed them with his children. However, one of the high priests, Hath-Set, grew envious of the attention and worship the pair received. Craving it all for himself, Hath-Set began to covet Shayera as well, stalking the woman until he began to obsess over her.
However, when the high priest finally confessed his feelings to Shayera, she spurned his affections choosing to remain loyal to Katar. In vengeance, Hath-Set planned to murder the two aliens exposing them as flesh and blood instead of the gods the people believed them to be. Poisoning their drinks in order to weaken the pair of Thanagarians, Hath-Set had their unconscious bodies moved to his sacred chamber where he planned to carry out their murder as a sacrifice to his own god. Using a knife made from the heart of a meteor, the blade cursed Katar and Shayera to forever be reincarnated, only to fall in love all over again. Then, at the point when their love for each other was greatest, the hourglass would turn, and they would both die before their time.
Since that first death, Katar and Shayera have lived hundreds of lives, each different from the last and plagued with the memories of those that came before. Each life followed the same template, the pair would grow up, start their lives and eventually find the other, fall in love and then watch the other die. Often, Katar would die first, sacrificing himself for Shayera. The other times they would die together. However, no matter the lifetime the pair were forced to endure one tragic end after another.

Murdered by her own personal guard, Thanagarian Princess CHAY-ARA awakens in the body of teenager KENDRA SAUNDERS on the foreign planet of EARTH. A fish out of water, she must seek out the only man who can help her, a former member of both the Justice Society and Justice League, the hero known as the Savage HAWKMAN.
Characters Involved: Kendra Saunders Desired # of Players: N/A
-Kendra Munoz-Saunders, daughter of an archeologist in Egypt. Her parents find a relic relating to Prince Khufu and Princess Shiera before being betrayed by their team and murdered. At the same time, Thanagarian Princess Chay-Ara is trying to contact Katar Hol on Earth using a sister relic. Assassinated by her personal guard, Chay-Ara and Kendra switch places, ultimately leading to Kendra's death where Kendra's uncle(?) saves Chay-Ara, now in Kendra's body.
“There is no justifiable reason for Thanagar to continue its siege!”
“With all due respect your highness, were our armies to pull back now it would be seen as a sign of weakness to our enemies. Thanagar must continue the siege of Rann, we cannot afford a war with the Reach or the Dominators.”
“Aside from face, there is no strategic value in holding Rann, its natural resources are less than our own, its technology more primitive. What does the War Council know that the House of Thal does not?”
"Do not worry, Princess," Byth Rok stated, "Your death will not be in vain."
"My de-" The words were lost in the silent gasp that came next, the Princess falling to the floor as Rok released the blade now wedged between her ribs.

Rude Awakenings #1.01:The Negotiations Were Short
Interaction(s):None

Despite being prohibited for the past decade, the bar still carried the distinctive haze of cigarette smoke, no doubt from the collective gentlemen standing by the line of motorcycles outside. If that wasn't the source, then the odour of smoke and bluish haze must have been produced by the group playing pool that kept disappearing into the bathroom only to return with eyes redder than the Flash's outfit.
Taking another sip from his drink, Carter Hall shook his head dismissively. Four years ago and the former archeologist would have picked a fight with the men and their blatant disregard towards the state's laws about cigarettes and recreational drug use. But presently, Carter was simply enjoying a drink with his nephew on the anniversary of the worst day of this life.
The nephew in question, Henry or as he preferred, Hank, seemed to be itching for a fight. The younger man was eagerly scoffing down the complimentary chips and salsa but his eyes were constantly wandering around the bar. Every few seconds, they darted back to the rowdy group of men at the furthest pool table.
Blood splattered across the wooden bar rail as a dislodged tooth flew through the air before landing in a now abandoned tooth. The man's jaw made a cracking noise before his head hit the floor with a hard 'thud'.
It had been fine when the bar played Luthor's broadcast, it had even been fine when this man had referred to Shayera as Hawkbitch, but Carter was not about to let that man sit there and call Lois, Superman's Dead Whore.
Hank had held Carter back at first, but the comment abort Shiera was where their roles had switched. The second Lois was brought in to the slandering, the pair had flipped the table.
“You took out five—four and a half— Hypes with minimal property damage using some of the worst form I’ve ever seen from you.”
Feral looked at their skyward entrance, “You done pissing? Or should we square up so you can get this out of your system?”
Chuck knew full well that even with the mask still concealing his face, Makarios could see the glare the former Maverick leader was directing his way. His body was still tense from the fight, his hand tightly wrapped around his weapon as he sized Makarios up. Thomas had always been the strongest physically of the three remaining Mavericks, but that mattered little when one had the speed that Makarios had, let alone his versatility. While Chuck's suit helped to even the odds, it would only delay the inevitable in a one-on-one fight against a man who knew his every move. Even Chuck's unrivalled pragmatism in a room full of Hypes whose powers were his for the borrowing couldn't help him win this fight.
"Another time," IllAdvised growled, sheathing his weapon before recalling his cape. "NLPD will be crawling all over this place in a matter of minutes, they won't hesitate to summon a H.I.T. Squad on us if we're still present." Raising a hand to the side of his cowl, IllAdvised tapped two fingers to his head.
"The situation here is handled. Go home and get out of the rain." He ordered Bliss over the commlink before turning to Makarios again.
"Our turn to leave," IllAdvised stated briskly, grappling upwards to the same opening he had crashed through previously. "Then you can tell me what brought you back to this Hellmouth."

Barbara Gordon spent her developmental years watching the Batman work alongside her father. When Gotham's Dark Knight debuted a young sidekick in the form of Robin, Barbara was inspired to be a better Robin and thus Batgirl was born. Eventually earning the trust of both the Boy Wonder and Caped Crusader, Batgirl was brought into the fold and became a part of the family, aiding not only Bruce and Dick, but also Dick's successor, Jason. Forming a sisterly bond with Jason, it was the second Robin who took it hardest when Barbara was attacked and left for dead by the Joker in her apartment.
This event left Barbara temporarily unable to walk due to the bullet grazing her spine. Jason on the other hand was driven by his rage to a point of recklessness which resulted in his death at the hands of the Clown Prince of Crime. Unable to fight crime like she used to, Barbara focused her efforts elsewhere and became the information broker known as Oracle. Despite the good, she could do as Oracle, it wasn't enough for Barbara. Pushing through her physical therapy, Barbara worked harder than ever to get back to the physical form she had been in prior to her attack.
P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S )
This is a Barbara Gordon that has a mission. The further she finds herself lost in that mission, the more she's realizing that she needs allies. That's where Cassandra and Stephanie come in. One is a mysterious girl that Barbara happens to rescue on the streets of Gotham, the other is the daughter of a supervillain, playing tattletale vigilante. But together, the three of them are the Batgirls.
While this version of Barbara was attacked by the Joker, she was never left paralyzed, though she did suffer a spinal injury that left her in rehabilitation for quite some time. During that time, she became Oracle, finding new ways to help people before eventually being able to re-don her cowl and return to the streets. While all of Gotham is under the protection of the Dark Knight, Barbara has laid claim to the district known as Burnside. Burnside is an 'up and coming neighbourhood' currently undergoing a restoration funded by Wayne Enterprises in the aftermath of a fire that devastated most of the borough. The area is home primarily to Gotham's young adults and is centred around Gotham City University.
Our story will kick off with Barbara finding a common link between several cold cases left unsolved by her father. Unravelling that thread leads her into Gotham's underbelly and into a conspiracy as old as Gotham itself. In the process, she'll face reinterpretations of other familiar foes, train new allies in the form of Steph and Cass and work alongside the other members of the extended Batfamily pending cooperation from their respective players.

The air was tense. The pier was alive with the hustle and bustle of people from all walks of life. Most of them, however, had banded together into a large crowd, a crowd that was creating an angry din. Signs raised above their heads as jeers echoed across the open water to the West.
