[OOC] Justice League: Legacy

[FantasyChic]

Three it is

[Mr_pink]

I prefer option 3!

[An Outsider]

Anyways, I also vote for option 3, though I'm unsure which category I would fall under.

@Polyphemus

I wasn't actually sure myself. Q fits quite comfortably in either category. Batman would certainly be all for having another detective in the League.

@BlackSam3091

Let's go with that then. "Detective and expert martial artist" sounds like someone Batman would recruit.

Work In Progress CS.
Hoping to finsh before the IC is up and running.

V'Nala stands at approximately 5'10" (177 cm). Tall and slender she has the build of a supermodel yet her homo-mermanus genetics makes her so much more than just a pretty face.

Powers/Skills:

Powers
Homo-Mermanus Physiology - Homo-Mermanus are an offshoot of humanity that is biologically adapted to the deep ocean environment. For most them, this means that they can breathe underwater, endure the pressures of the deep (among other adaptations), and can only spend a very limited time out of water. Many also possess superhuman levels of strength, speed, endurance and durability, all by-products of their bodies being adapted to survive unprotected in the tremendous pressures of the ocean depths. Although other underwater dwellers possess similar adaptations, V'Nala's royal lineage makes her a super-Xebelian as well as super-human, and as such she has greater physical capabilities than does a typical citizen of Xebel.

• Amphibious Nature - as an Xebelean, V'nala can breath underwater and on land. She can be immersed indefinitely without suffering any ill effects but being super-Xebelean due to her royal lineage, she can survive on land longer than an average homo-mermanus. This length can be extended by the humidity in the atmosphere but eventually prolonged dehydration will weaken her thus she must return to aquatic enviroment at various period.
• Enhanced Senses - V'Nala's senses of hearing and smell are several times more acute than a normal human-being, but not on the level of a Kryptonian. Her ability to see in the murky depths of the ocean allows her exceptional night vision while on land.
• Superhuman Durability - V'Nala is durable enough to resist small arms fire with minor injuries as well as to survive the temperatures and pressures of the deepest parts of the ocean.
• Superhuman Reflexes & Speed - V'Nala is as quick as a fish. On land she can move at just above peak human speed running at roughly 35 to 40mph. While in the water she can reach a speed of about 155mph.
• Superhuman Stamina - She can travel and maintain a speed of 155mph in the water for up to four hours.
• Superhuman Strength - V'Nala's strength is superior to the average Xebelian and Atlantean allowing her to lift up to 15 tons.

Telepathy (limited) - As with her mother, Hila, V'Nala possesses a limited degree of telepathy, which allows her to communicate with other Xebelian & Atlantean beings.

Siren Song - V'Nala is capable of emitting astonishingly beautiful and enchanting singing voice that is capable of summoning/luring anyone who hears it to come towards her.

• Lure - V'Nala can create a beacon that draws those perceiving it or only the one targeted towards her. This ability is irresistible, forcefully causing the target or targets to come even closer. She may target one specific person up to 100ft away or up to ten people within a 30 foot diameter.
• Compel - She can compel people by speaking, the victims are unable to disobey; the seemingly cogent commandment is far too compelling. By speaking calmly V'Nala can give her targets simple commands.

---

Skills
Diving & Swimming

Combat - The Princess of Xebel has had some combat training though her actual combat experience in lacking compared to most other members of the new League. V'Nala is trained in some hand to hand as well as the use of a sword and a trident.

Multilingual - V'Nala speaks Atlantean/Xebelian, American English and Spanish.

---

Weaknesses
Water Deprivation - V'Nala must return to water after a period of time or she will weaken.

Siren Song - V'nala's siren song will, of course, not work on the deaf or hearing impaired. It will only work on intelligent humanoids who can hear her and understand the words she says/sings. When trying to compel someone she must make eye contact with them. Also, trained and powerful psychics may be able to resist this ability.

Superiority - She believes her people to not only be superior to humans, but Atlanteans as well.

Temper, Temper - Much like her aunt, Mera, V'Nala has anger management issues which could be used against her by her more crafty enemies.

---

---

Backstory:

For a number of centuries the underwater kingdom of Xebel had managed to keep itself hidden from the world including it's bitter rival Atlantis.

---

---

Motivation for joining the League?:

To give Xebel it's just due, and to show it's superiority over Atlantis.

To learn the fate of Aquaman (and possibly the Trident of Posiedon).

---

What do you bring to the League?:

The ability to traverse water environments with little or no difficulty. V'Nala knows much of the territory of the Atlantic Ocean.

An envoy of Xebel, an underwater city that may or may not become an ally of the League.

---

Notes

• Homo-Mermanus is actually a Marvel term, but since there are underwater humanoids that live outside of Atlantis I thought the term fitting.
• V'Nala is not a mermaid.

Music

Need to mainly finish up her backstory.
@BlackSam3091 if you don't mind I gonna play with the history of Atlantis and Xebel somewhat. I believe in the Silver Age Xebel was a city in Dimension Aqua. Somewhere it may have gotten changed to an Atlantean penal colony. I've only read vol 1 of the New 52 Aquaman so I do not know how Xebel has been set there nor if it's been referenced in Rebirth. So my idea is the cliche of the king died and his two sons went to war, one ruling over Atlantis and the other Xebel. Xebel lost the war and hid itself from the world until a few years ago.

Critiques from the GM and other players are welcome.

@BlackSam3091

You could bring back Justice League Task Force! Or Anartica!

[Hillan]

@Divine Darkness

Sirenagle

I dig it.

[Konica]

Option 3 sounds good.

This is quite a team we're assembling! Of course that puts extra pressure on me to remain relevant. You guys are like "Oh no, a situation! I'll use my immense superhuman strength/ ability to fuse animals together/ unbreakable force fields/ massive amount of wealth and resources/ sword that can cut through anything/ magical powers!" And meanwhile I'm just like "Yeah, I'll punch him, I guess."

That's cool, though! I'm feeling excited about the challenge.

@Polyphemus

Don't worry, my character is in the same boat

[An Outsider]

@Divine Darkness Now I had something for Atlantis somewhere in my notes, but I can't find them now. The jist is that before the Drench - the Atlantean's name for the great tragedy that befell them that ended in the sinking of their homes - there was seven kingdoms of Atlantis. In a last ditch to save their people the Mage-Lords of old used the Zodiac stones, seven crystals of immense mystical power, to cast a great spell to stop the Drench. They succeeded, after a fashion, for instead of stopping the sinking of Atlantis as they intended they instead managed to morph their people in to the aquatic bipeds we now know. One Zodiac stone went to each Kingdom, though three of the cities have since been lost to knowledge.

The Kingdoms that still exist that I can remember off hand are Poseidonis(Aquaman's home), Xebel, Tritonis and Thierna Na Oge.

So yeah, do that with Xebel. They could have got their reputation for being a penal colony because after they lost Poseidonis labeled them as thieves and cowards.

[DrewVonAwesome]

@DrewVonAwesome Sorry bud, I completely forgot about you. I'm not to clear on Zachary Zatanna's powers from the comics, so could you just clear me up. Is it the same as Zatanna's in that he casts magic by speaking spells backwards? I'm fairly certain that's the case from the image on you're sheet, but I just want to be clear.

On that note if I've somehow managed to miss anyone else please let me know, though I think I should be up to date OOC wise. Now I just need to work through my PM's.

@BlackSam3091

Yeah that is the gist, in the comics like I said in the notes Zachary is handicapped by not being powerful enough to cast any spells on himself or another human being. Or an animal as big or bigger than a dove. Otherwise he does cast his spells vocally saying what he wants backwards. So if he was gagged he wouldn't be able to cast any spells. For this RP I decided to just say his powerful enough to handle spells on himself and such. Either way I truthfully forgot all about this RP too so...

Option 3 sounds good.

@Konica

To be fair the Justice League has always been much more high powered than many other superhero teams. Even arguably The Avengers.

[Lost Cause]

Oh right, need to get finished up then if we're about to start. ^.^;

[GreenGrenade]

Alright, got Jon's sheet up. I'll be editing it later to fit in some of the stuff we figure out, @BlackSam3091 & @King Kindred. For now, though, I'm going to grab something to eat. This guy's starving.

Also, @Lord Wraith, did you see my post about Jon and Dick's possible dynamics? I figure that it'd be good to figure out before the game starts.

[Konica]

@DrewVonAwesome

Oh I know, I'm not complaining.

[Lord Wraith]

<Snipped quote by Lord Wraith>
Well, let's see. When Bruce trained Jon to help him control his powers, he would've likely needed a "sparring" partner. I don't see any reason against that partner being Dick. I figure that that would be their introduction to each other, during Jon's teen years (which coincidentally align with Kieran's arrival). I don't think it's a stretch for Jon and Dick to have maintained contact over the years, but keep in mind that Jon was never with the Titans, or even a "hero" until after Clark's disappearance. The events of the RP are essentially his debut. So they could probably be friends, but they've never worked together on the field like Kieran and Dick might have. Does that sound alright?

@GreenGrenade

Looking over this again, if the training aligns with Kieran's arrival it would be pre-Titans meaning Dick would be fairly young. So the two would have a long friendship at this point.

@BlackSam3091 I finished my CS, I hope he's acceptable.

Backstory:

Many years ago the Highfather of New Genesis conducted an experiment by finding individuals from different points in earth's history and making them members of the New God races. Mark Hudson was one of those individuals. Being a child of the eighties and living in Star City, Mark grew up on all sorts of incredible cartoons and music from the decade, but his home life wasn't as great. His mom was overbearing and emotionally abusive to his father. This experience made Mark angry and he was mad at the world who made excuses for his mom's behavior. Eventually his father got up the courage to leave his mom, but then Mark's mother falsely charged him with abuse and the court system sided with her.

This caused his dad to lose all custody of Mark and his mom was able to cripple him financially. Mark was furious at his mom and angry at how horrible his life got. His anger got him into trouble at school and at home as well. He couldn't focus on his schoolwork and his childhood friends were less understanding of his issues. Mark was suspended from school when he got into a violent altercation with a female student who had laughed at the idea of his dad being abused by his mom and he punched her in the face out of anger.

This incident ruined his reputation and he was forced into counseling. He was lucky to avoid juvenile detention, but his mom was furious at him and she went on many long shouting rants about how much he had failed her as a son. Mark was on the edge of oblivion and after several years of misery, suicidal thoughts began to enter his head. After he left high school and his mom's home to go to college, Mark didn't find his situation all that more improved. In college his issues seemed to follow him and telling others about his problems made him a bit of a joke to the college campus and he was ridiculed for his story.

At the age of 21, Mark felt that he had reached his limit and decided that the world was too awful to live in. He was going to commit suicide and end his suffering. As he was in the process of killing himself, the Highfather Izaya intervened and saved his life. The Highfather explained to Mark about his sudden appearance and offered him a place among the New Gods of New Genesis. Mark had a choice, either to ascend above his awful life or succumb to the darkness within him and end his own life.

Despite his sadness, Mark chose life over death and accepted Izaya's offer. With the incredible powers of the Highfather, he was changed from being a human and into a New God. Izaya then welcomed him like he was his child and let him join the other young New Gods of the paradise-like world. Once Mark was given his Mother Box, he felt the device's soothing voice calm his emotions and the other New Gods understood his past and his pain unlike the people of earth. With his ascension into his status as a New God, Mark was given incredible powers and with the help of his Mother Box he was trained in many teachings of combat and culture throughout the cosmos.

Eventually he joined the team known as The Forever People, a group made up of young individuals who had been taken from different points in earth's history and given the rank of godhood by Izaya. As a team they traversed the known cosmos battling all sorts of strange and evil entities. A couple of their adventures took them back to earth and Mark still remembered his old life as a human, which wasn't pleasant to him. Despite the bad memories, Mark Hudson had found people he could feel happy with and his new identity of Mark Moonrider was a new beginning for him.

Motivation for joining the League?:

After Superman vanished, the Highfather believed that Darkseid and the forces of Apokolips could pose a threat to earth and the possible discovery of the Anti Life Equation. He decided that Mark would be Earth's guardian and join forces with the Justice League in defending it from otherworldly threats. Mark was sent to earth alone and the Highfather said that it was a task that he had to do on his own and that was all that Izaya would tell him.

What do you bring to the League?:

Mark brings New God technology and vast knowledge of the Fourth World and the cosmos. He is also an experienced fighter and as a New God with a human past, he understands human emotion and human failings.

Notes

This is his theme song

[Omega Man]

@The Kid Lantern B'wana Beast looking good mate, keeping it close to classic which works for me. I know I wont have to tell you to make sure the animals that he fuses should be location appropriate, so no wild lions showing up in Gotham or such like. Though what happens if one of his chimera's die, do both halves of the fused beast die too?

@BlackSam3091

Gotham actually has lions, tigers, bears, AND penguins. Or did you forget about...



As far as the chimeras dying, I believe the two animals would just separate but one or both could possibly be dead depending on the injury.

~KL~

[GreenGrenade]

Looking over this again, if the training aligns with Kieran's arrival it would be pre-Titans meaning Dick would be fairly young. So the two would have a long friendship at this point.

@Lord Wraith

Sounds good to me. Sweet!

[Weird Tales]

I'm curious to see how all of our characters will interact with each other

[King Kindred]

Finally edited and posted my CS into the characters section.

I'm curious to see how all of our characters will interact with each other

@Weird Tales

I am too. It should be interesting. I'm looking forward to it.

[Weird Tales]

I would love to see a moment like this happen lol! I miss the silver age
