[OOC] New Young Justice

[Weird Tales]

Name: Van El
Alias: Beast
Age: 19
Race: Kryptonian
Gender: male
Arc name: The Legacy of The House of El
Arc bio: (PM me your arc bio and what it will be about.)
Power or ability:
Kryptonian shape-shifting: Van has the ability transform into the fauna of Krypton and gain their species' characteristics. As he grows and masters his powers, Van will be able to utilize more transformations. All of his forms have slightly greater strength and durability then earthly animals. So far this is the list of Kryptonian beasts that Van can shapeshift into. Do to his mutated genes, Van is unable to absorb solar radiation and gain the superhuman abilities that all Kryptonians share.
TETRA-HEADED tiger
BALLOON CREATURE
H'Raka
Flamebird
Nightwing
Tyrano-shark
Metal-Eating Mole
Personality: Like with most Kryptonians Van is very stoic or at least tries to maintain his stoicism when he feels that he has to represent his culture. In truth Van sometimes prefers to have a more laid back and human like qualities. Even when he lived on Krypton as a little child Van never always felt as in tune with his native culture and had a tendency to rebel and show more emotion than normal.

As a hero Van is very dedicated to truth, justice and the American way. He will try to do what's right and be an inspiration for others, but his emotions can sometimes get the better of him. Despite his more human like behavior, Van still has some traditional values and is not a wild one. He values order and believes in more civil ways of solving problems, but he won't back down from a fight when the need arises.

Being a mutant made him somewhat of an outcast on Krypton and he sometimes is reluctant to show his powers off needlessly, but he doesn't like to back away from a challenge when it comes his way. Since Van is a member of the house of El he has a high appreciation of his cousin Kal El otherwise known as Superman, and he tries to model his hero work after the Man of Tomorrow. His parents death and the destruction of his home world also had a bad effect on him and Van sometimes suffers from bouts of depression.
Bio: Van El was born on Krypton ten years before it would explode and see the entire kryptonian civilization destroyed. His parents were Sul El and Milia El of the house of El. They were scientists studying the flora and fauna of the planet in the hopes of finding a way to grant individuals the power to shapeshift into animals and plants. Their studies led them to believe that injecting mutated genes into a Kryptonian would created the desired effect.

The tests proved that it would be deadly and too dangerous for kryptonian subjects. after several failures Van's parents became ridiculed by the science counsel of Krypton and their research was no longer supported by the counsel. That seemed to be the end of their project, but one day Van became gravely ill with the green plague that had begun to ravaged the planet. Van was on the verge of death when his parents in a last bit of desperation decided to inject him with the mutated genes to try and counter the disease.

Call it a miracle or incredible luck, but Van's body excepted the genes and his sickness was cured. He did however forever change and he became a mutant. With the power of shape-shifting, Van was able to do things no Kryptonian had seen before and his parents had him go through several tests to see his capabilities. He wasn't very happy being a test subject, but Van didn't complain, he felt that he owed it to his parents for saving his life.

After a few years, Jor El came to Sul El and Milia to warn them about Krypton's eminent doom. They were one of the few people who actually believed, but they only had enough time to build a ship big enough for one passenger. They decided that Van would be the one to escape the planet's destruction and when the fateful day arrived, he was sent off of the dying planet after his parents gave him their tearful goodbyes.

Sul El and Milia had already saved their son's life once from a deadly disease, they would not let that miracle go to waste and let their son die in Krypton's destruction. Van was deeply pained by the loss of his parents and home. When the ship left the planet's atmosphere Van was placed in stasis and the ship's auto-navigation system malfunctioned and it drifted in deep space for years.

Eventually Van's ship came into earth's solar system and the navigation system kicked back in when the sensors picked up on alien activity on earth. Van was brought out of stasis when his ship entered earth's atmosphere and he watched as his ship crashed into the beautiful planet. Van found himself in a strange world and alone. His thoughts were about the death of his parents and his whole world. In his sorrow Van wandered aimlessly through the woods where his ship had landed and occasionally would transform into Kryptonian animals to strengthen his isolation.

Eventually he found himself on the outskirts of Metropolis and it wasn't too long until he saw Superman. Unlike most who saw the Man of Steel, the first thing that caught Van's eyes were his Kryptonian style clothing and the symbol of the house of El. His hopes rose high and he excitedly met Superman and explained to him who he was. The Man of Steel understood and although Van could tell that the hero was wasn't entirely convinced, Superman decided to believe his story and took him to live with the Kents for a bit.

After that he learned enough about earth culture to get adopted by a nice couple and Van's tried to have a normal life.

I know that I started writing one, but I think I'll rewrite it. WIP.

Name: Jacob Lander
Alias: Microstrike
Age: 19.
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Arc name: The Hunt.
Power or ability:
-Shrinking. He can reduce his size down to a millimeter at most.
-Enhanced Agility. He is faster and more agile than the average person, particularly when shrunk.
-Survivability. When he has his costume on, it functions as a supply of oxygen and environmental protection. for him to survive in areas as intense as the vacuum of space.
Personality: He's outgoing and likes to be around people. Because of this, however, he talks fast and a lot. He can embarrass himself easily, but he likes to comfort people whenever he can.
Bio: He was born to a fairly average family, as an only child. He lived normally until he was 14. By then, he was taken by strange employees to a building. There, he was subjected to experiments. Many of them involving technology and strange shots. What that did was give him the ability to shrink. His powers were unstable. When shrunk, he had trouble growing back to normal size, or sometimes he couldn't shift sizes at all. Using his newfound power, he escaped quickly. He found out that his parents had an unknown cause of death recently. Due to that, he lived alone for a while using his powers, really only thinking of himself. He stole and such. Ray Palmer, connecting the dots of crimes, concluded that there must be another size-shifting metahuman. Finding him, a suit was made to help him stabilize his powers and he was recruited almost directly into New Young Justice.

Appearance: Casual:
Hero:
(Ignore the gun, he doesn't carry weapons.)

Here's my character.

Travis Sokolov AKA The Question

Name: Travis Sokolov
Alias: The Question
Age: 20
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Arc name: That Is The Question
Arc bio: PMed to GM.
Abilities: Travis has genius level intellect and great detective skills, and is skilled in espionage and hand-to-hand combat.
Power: Precognition - Travis can see glimpses of the future. He usually just uses it for an advantage in fights, as it doesn't see major events often, but he has been known to occasionally see major events.
Personality: Travis, to put it kindly, is eccentric. Unkindly... He's a f*cking lunatic. Usually stays calm and collected in conversations, but after a while he will begin to rant on about various conspiracies and how the plastic tips on the ends of shoelaces are called aglets and that their true purposes are sinister (for this reason he wears velcro shoes). He is a firm believer that nothing should be taken at face value, and that to understand something you must question everything.
Appearance:

The Question

The trench coat is just for show, and he will throw it off when actually fighting so it won't hinder him. The mask is artificial skin, and he uses a special spray to cement it to his face. The spray also dyes his hair black. All it takes to take off the mask and turn his hair back to its normal blond color is to use the spray again.

Travis Sokolov

Stands at 5'8 (is 6'0 in costume, due to wearing elevator shoes) and weighs in at 197 pounds. Usually wears a fedora instead of the hat in the photo.

Bio: Travis Sokolov was born into poverty to a single mother, his father having left long before he was born. Every day started with him waking up, putting on clothes that didn't have many holes or tears, going to school, being made fun of for how poor he is (and, in his latter school years, his paranoid nature), coming home, doing homework, eating if they had the food, then sleeping. It was a hard life, but he was used to it.
Travis discovered his power at the age of 11. He was at school, and it was lunch time. As he grabbed his food and made his way to his usual spot, he bumped into a boy. Both of them dropped their trays and their food was ruined. The boy pushed Travis, then threw a punch. But Travis sensed it before it was even thrown. So, he grabbed the fist, kneed the boy in the gut, and then ran. He didn't know what happened, and it scared him. As such, he kept his power hidden.
Over the next few years, his power of precognition helped him. Usually it told him if it would rain that day so he could bring an umbrella, or if there was a car that would hit him if he walked across the street, things like that. It scared him for the first year or so, but eventually he got used to it. That is, until the visions started. Usually it was something small, like him failing a test or falling ill or similar things, but eventually they turned dark. One day, he saw his mother die in a vision. The next week, she died in a car accident. Just like that, he was an orphan.
So Travis was alone. He was 16 at the time, old enough to get a job, so he went to a newspaper building and got a job as an assistant for a man named Vic Sage. He quickly befriended the man, and, when he was 17, learned of his secret: he was The Question, an enigmatic superhero and a member of the Justice League. Vic suggested that Travis succeed him as The Question, as Vic learned he had lung cancer and as such wouldn't be around long. Travis agreed, and for the next year Vic trained Travis in martial arts, espionage and various other skills. When Travis was 18, Vic died and Travis joined the Teen Titans Initiative, passing it and making his way into the Young Justice Program just in time for his twentieth birthday.
