P R E M I S E:
After seeing a vision of a horrible future where the Earth was left defenceless without her heroes, precognitive LILITH CLAY sought out the help, finding it in the form of financier and philanthropist LOREN JUPITER. Jupiter, empathetic to Lilith and backed by a government grant, set about making plans to prevent the doomsday event from happening. His first order of business was to create a new group of heroes, heroes sponsored by the government that wouldn't have to worry about maintaining a dual identity but instead would be provided with room, board, education and training all under one roof.
Constructing a state-of-the-art facility in San Francisco, California, this facility is designed to operate as the public headquarters of a new privately funded superhero team, dubbed the 'Teen Titans'. Jupiter realized that the Justice League alone can't protect the world forever, and, in the same spirit that they succeeded the Justice Society before them, set out to build a new team of heroes.
Heroes with attitude.
With the help of Lilith, Jupiter and his program are specifically targeting young heroes to cultivate their growth and prepare them to replace their mentors. Not only this, but Jupiter's program would also assist and prepare the teens to be better adults, providing them with education and skills to fit into society while temporarily enabling them to forgo the need for and responsibilities of a dual life.

Players will be taking on the roles of some of DC's most iconic characters. Any character who has been a member of the Teen Titans in canon is on the table, with of course the GM having the final say. Players are able, and encouraged, to take their character and reimagine, or 'ultimate-ize' their origins in a way that suits them and brings fun, fresh and new ideas to the table. The limitation however is that the character has to have been canon to DC and at one point a member of the Teen Titans. Completely original characters are not the intention of this roleplay.
The wider story will be shaped pending the accepted cast. For instance, the inclusion of Raven might lead to Trigon shaping the greater plot, while Starfire could lead to intergalactic adventures or clashes with cosmic foes such as Lobo. In terms of players, I'm looking to keep this small and closer to the most consistent team size of approximately five to six Titans which includes myself.
Given the smaller size, characters will be scrutinized more thoroughly to build a strong, diverse cast. Some overlap will be allowed, but the chances of both Dick Grayson and Tim Drake being accepted are slim to none. Likewise, if our Robin were to be Damian or Jason, then someone applying as Ravager would be in direct competition with that application. Ideally, the cast will complement one another, and have weakness and flaws to cover. Since this is a new iteration of well-known characters, dynamics, relationships and rivalries can all be reworked and unique to the RP. Raven and Beast Boy don't have to end up in a relationship for example. Just try not to make your characters so far from the original that they're unrecognizable looking at you 'Titans'.
Like I've done in the past, the application process will last for a stated duration of time. During that window, players will be able to put their best foot forward. Once the window elapses, I'll be selecting the determined number of characters from the submitted sheets. In the event, the number of players does not exceed the maximum open slots, but there are characters overlapping as described above, then one or more players may be asked to submit a new application.
If you're feeling particularly ambitious, you may submit a backup character sheet should you have a preference toward a second option character.
Character Applications will be accepted until Monday, April 21, 2025.

T H E S T O R Y S O F A R...A brief synopsis of your character's life, experiences and training before the RP begins. This is where you outline your vision for the character including any notable changes or differences from the regularly accepted canon. This should be a short summary that provides insight into where the character is in terms of their overall progress and development. You could also include any notable differences from the standard canon you've added to your character.________________________________________________________________________________________P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S )
P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S )Why do you want to play this character, what is the driving motivation behind both this desire and the character themselves. What do you hope to accomplish and where do you want the character's story/stories to go? For a driving character, there should be enough of an outline present to interest other players along with specifications towards how many players you're looking to involve or available roles. For supporting characters, this should indicate either a plot you've arranged to be part of or the type of plot you're looking to be involved in. Roaming characters have the privilege of doing either or simply stating a roadmap for the character to exemplify how you'd ideally like them to move between plots.
