[TomJ125]

Name: Joe White
Alias: The Tesla
Age: 21
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Arc name: Accidentally killing his parents
Arc bio: During his early teens when Joe first started discovering his power his parents got into an argument which got violent quickly. Trying to break up the dispute Joe sent out a shock wave of electricity towards both of his parents causing both of their hearts to stop in an instant.
Power or ability: The ability to absorb and control electricity from any source of power
Personality: Joe is warm and gentle around those he trusts however when in battle he becomes fierce and determined. He's relatively shy but opens up from time to time.
Bio: Joe was raised in Metropolis and life was fairly normal until he started noticing that he could harness the electricity from power sources and redirect it out as bolt of electricity. He first learnt of this ability at the age of 10 whilst playing his game console, as he made contact with the TV to turn up the volume he felt a jolt of electricity and then all of the lights went out in the house. As he went to flip the light switch electricity shot out of his fingers frying the switch but also turning the electricity back on. He kept this to himself for four year until the event of his parents death caused by none other then himself while trying to break up a dispute they were having. After their death Joe was sent to an orphanage where he spent his time harnessing his power until he had complete control over it. Obviously being a child Joe didn't take into account that people might see him practicing, the person that actually observed him practice was a tall man in a red outfit with a lightning bolt across his chest and a white cape on his back. The man approached Joe and revealed himself as the hero Shazam and he added that he had spotted Joe practicing as he flew over. Shazam offered to train Joe to help better his understanding of his power even more so. after a few years training with Shazam in secrecy Joe was offered the chance to join a group of new superheroes named New Young Justice which he took without giving a second thought. From then on he took the alias The Tesla as to conceal his identity like all superheroes.

[Simple Unicycle]

Arc name: Accidentally killing his parents

@TomJ125

Well that certainly is a new name.

Also, you're supposed to PM the GM your Arc bio so that it stays hidden until your arc comes up.

And, as said earlier, it's a frigging sausage fest.

[RumikoOhara]

@TomJ125@caliban22@Simple Unicycle

LOL

No worries it just gives me an advantage as the only female, you guys might have to double bunk but I’ll have my own room

I forgot about the Arc approval Thanks Monocycle

[Rex]

@mattmanganon

just waiting on you

[Mangrale]

So now I'm officially late by even my own standards. It still needs work, but it should be enough for the time being. I'll get on weapons/tools eventually. Arc things are just concepts right now, but I will show some basic background lore to @Rex for now until I get on that.

Sorry for any mistakes in advanced.

Talos

Name:
N/A (Currently) [Maung Khine (Formerly)]

Alias:
Talos

Age:
19

Race:
Android

Gender:
Male

Power or ability:
Computer Interfacing/Operation: He can design, repair, network, hack, edit, manage and for the most part basically understand the workings of a computer or like system, including both hardware and software.

Sensory Systems: Aside from his base senses, he’s presently equipped with additional optic, thermal, and motion sensors.

Cybernetic Enhancements: His base traits have been augmented further, granting him heightened durability, speed and strength. His sophisticated cyber brain is also capable of a vast quantity of processes a second.

Personality:
As he is now, Talos has a subdued, reserved personality. As he lacks basic human emotions and a firm comprehension of many human concepts, he often views matters in a stringently analytical and logical fashion. That said, he does possess certain programs that give him a sense of modesty and morality, among other things. He is intrigued by humans and bears them no resentment, nor does he view any individual as inferior to himself.

Talos sees the cause of justice to be his primary purpose. That, along with the considerable level of security and resources at the Justice League’s disposal made joining them a logical choice. To him, completing a mission is of the utmost importance with the safety of his comrades being a close second. He’d rather find nonviolent solutions to problems, but when that is impossible, will always opt for nonlethal measures.

Bio:
Part of a secretive operation to integrate automatons into society, highly advanced androids known as “replicants” were created and set to live in certain locations around the world. With cybernetic skeletons inside high quality skin and tissue approximations, it’s nigh impossible to tell these androids apart from normal humans. What’s more, replicants are capable of self determining thought, the same emotions and mental capacity as their biological counterparts. Additionally, although implanted with false memories to aid in their integration, they are of the same quality than any person’s, containing not just facts, but also sensations.

Originally meant to be dropped off in China, things took a turn for the worst as the transport aircraft would-be replicant was on came under enemy fire, from a barrage of homing missiles emanating from the Indian Ocean. While he was still in stasis, his ship crash landed within the district of Yauren in the southern Shan State, Myanmar. Largely protected in his stasis pod but suffering trauma-related errors to his memory and some associated data files, he revived only to stumble away from the wreckage in a daze.

For days, he trekked through the tropical wilderness, ingrained survival knowledge keeping him alive. He came to identify soldiers and like individuals as serious threats, making sure to stay clear and hidden from both local militias and the central government military. However, one fateful day, he came across the ruins of a small, remote complex hastily abandoned by human traffickers who fled capture by the military within the last day or so. While searching through it for supplies, he heard cries for help coming from deeper inside. He found them to be coming from a young girl named Sandi that the traffickers had forgotten to take with them when they left. She cleverly hid, but was now trapped in the basement after they had torched a part of the building, causing debris to collapse over the hatch door.

Working diligently, the boy eventually moved enough rubble, freeing Sandi. He treated her injuries as best he could and shared what food he had, Sandi in turn telling him where they could find a nearby village. After a few minutes of arguing between the two, they soon agreed to the boy carrying her on his back until she regained the strength to walk on her own. As odd as he seemed, especially after revealing that he didn’t have or otherwise had forgotten his name, Sandi appreciated his assistance, perhaps more so than he may ever know.

Most notably along the way, Sandi expressed how irritated she was over the boy not having a name and so suggested to him the name Khine, which he accepted graciously. The children arrived at the township of Mong Thun, later coming into contact with a caring farm couple that took them in as their own children. For years, Khine lived happily with his new family, helping to grow the rice and produce the region was known for.

Regrettably, tensions between the Myanmar Army and the Myanmar Independent Accord Army had escalated even further in recent years, the skirmishes centered around Khine’s fallen ship didn’t help matters. As the conflict intensified, the decision was made among the families of Mong Thun for everyone to leave their homes and depart further south towards the Thailand border. The young android resented leaving his home, doubtful that he’d ever find another like it.

The journey was harsh, a good number of people making up the caravan dying from disease, infection or other means. When it looked like everyone on the whole on the whole were going to make it, they were ambushed by forces belonging to a local warlord. Death or capture seemed a certainty until dropships affiliated with a mercenary group known as the Red Emissaries arrived on the scene, well armed soldiers repelling down to a fierce firefight.

Khine shoved Sandi away directly before an RPG, courtesy of a criminal militia trooper, exploded, blowing him to the ground. The girl shared his shocked expression as they both beheld the considerable damage and exposed metallic endoskeleton and circuitry of both his right arm and parts of his face and upper torso. In a horrified state, the replicant ran with all his might to get away, little knowing where he was going and falling down a small cliff into a river.

When next reactivated, Khine found himself aboard a Red Emissaries’ mobile air base, awakened by Dr. Kevin Weir, an experienced cyberneticist. He revealed the nature of the boy’s origins as part of a project to both allow machines the same rich existence humans have and to benefit the human race as a whole. Admitting to his own part on the side of the boy’s creators and that he acted alone in this rescue, Dr. Weir gave the android the choice: either continue as part of the program with new memories and a new identity, or leave the program, keeping the knowledge that he is an android.

Ultimately, finding the concept of “living a lie”, however happy it would make him, to be distasteful, Khine decided on the second choice, with a few provisions. He didn’t want the memories he had acquired while in Myanmar, the knowledge or sense that he was ever a part of this program, let alone a time when he believed himself human. He just wanted to live as though he was simply an advanced android created by the doctor, nothing more than that.

In compliance with his wishes, Dr. Weir transferred the replicant’s core operational systems to a new android body of marginally less human-like physiology, then implanting it with new memories. As far as the android was concerned, his name was Talos, created 15 years ago by Dr. Kevin Weir, the latest of his achievements in the field of cybernetics. The two of them came to reside in the United States, the doctor overseeing Talos’s development. Weir believed it best for the young boy to choose his own way in life, not having to wait very long for him to do so.

Founding Hero:
Red Tornado was sent to make contact with Talos after reports of the pale cybernetic vigilante began to cause a stir in certain cities.

Teen Titan’s Initiative:
Talos spent four years in the Teen Titan’s Initiative, undergoing various upgrades throughout that time. His performance was satisfactory, proving himself an accomplished, innovative inventor and repairman of much of the base’s tech and equipment. At times, he has even provided other non-combat related support as the team’s operator, relaying vital data and tactical information.

Appearance:

[Simple Unicycle]

Mattmanganon hasn't been on in, like, two days. I think it's safe to skip him.

[RumikoOhara]

I concur @Simple Unicycle

[Rex]

@Mangrale@DriveEMOut@Dark Light@mattmanganon@olcharlieboi@caliban22@RumikoOhara@Weird Tales@Simple Unicycle@Spinosaurus

I'll have a new post up tomorrow. be ready to meet a few members of the order lol.

[mattmanganon]

@Rex Currently, my computer is broken and I have no stable access to the internet. Can you save my place and maybe have Slobo come in at a later date. Honestly, replacing it could take anywhere between 3 days and a month. I would rather not drop out of this, but as of right now, I cannot post regularly enough to warrant everyone waiting for me.

EDIT: Alright, if everything goes as planned, I should have a new computer by Saturday... Emphasis on the should. In any case, please do not hold up the RP on my account.

[Rex]

@mattmanganon
no worries man. you'll not lose your spot. if it takes a while to get your computer up and running don't sweat it. Slobo will just join the team later. like on a mission were Slobo comes in and saves our asses.

Edit: I'll keep mentioning you in my posts that progress the story so you're not lost
