[OOC] Young Justice est. 2020

[Number One]

@Just The Wind Well we've got that 3 person collab we're waiting on. I wondered if anybody actually went to school other than the non-supers. We start training tonight [in-game] if you guys would get with the character development and such. I usually get the "not enough time for character development in your games KL" but then when I make time for it games slow to a snail's pace and we lose people.

Once that collab' posted we'll move things forward if nobody else wants to add anything.

~KL~

@The Kid Lantern

I mean we had plenty of character development going before we were forcibly time skipped. I'd like to actually play out the mall shenanigans if there's going to be any pending the collab and other developments. Obviously if it ends up being only Nike and Karlie who want to skip, it's in the best interest of the RP to skip forward but if the whole group wants to go to the mall, then there's a lot of substance that could be played out there. Rev and Nike are both alien to society and there's a lot of fun to be had with the fish out of water scenario there. Plus there's Karsin's budding flirtation with Karlie, Nike and Rev's difference of opinions and other small elements to be played out. Combat is great and all but it's not really the meat of the RP.

Plus, something could attack the mall! I think it's better to be flexible and roll with what the players have provided in the IC rather than shoehorning us into a predetermined situation simply because it's more convenient.

@Just The Wind Julien would also be up for skipping!

@Orange Juice

Excellent!

[MrDidact]

@BlackSam3091 Well we've decided that our trio is going to skip school as well.

So perhaps the three of us could tag along with the girls.

[alexfangtalon]

I'm bad at coming up with names.

[An Outsider]

@MrDidact Definitely, it was an open invite!

[An Outsider]

@alexfangtalon Name for what mate, a character?

[alexfangtalon]

@BlackSam3091 Can you think of anything from this?

Powers - Katie's powers are entirely energy based. She can control, absorb, project, and sense energy around her.

Weaknesses - Sometimes her perception of the energy around her can cause a form of sensory overload. Also if she uses her power to much she risks turning into energy herself.

[rocketrobie2]

@alexfangtalon Just a few ideas I have:

Ion
Supernova
Conduit
Charge
Battery

@Just The Wind

I think I mentioned when I wrote the time skip you guys could still elaborate on what had happened, I just didn't want to spend a lot more time on our first day.

<Snipped quote by BlackSam3091>

LOL You guys can touch on that, I just want to get things moving forward. There'll be plenty of time for teen melodrama.

~KL~

@The Kid Lantern

I was just worried the in-between was killing people's interest with no posts being made in three days. Speed Demon can go and jack a car. Nike can pick a fight with a pro tennis player. Or Stinger could ruin a shoe and need to go on the hunt for a new pair... At some point Nightwing's gonna have to corral you guys. I like the idea of something going down at the mall, but I can't see a superhuman criminal doing something in a public area like that. Maybe Nike could drop a purse snatcher? Ooooor... maybe an electrical disturbance knocks out the power in the mall/city to the point schools canceled anyway?

We can roll with whatever you guys want.

@alexfangtalon Personally, no, I'm afraid not. Maybe something like Quantum? I usually use the characters history and personality to advise me on name choice, rather than their powers. If you have a backstory down, and want to PM that to me, I might be more help.

[MrDidact]

@The Kid Lantern We were actually thinking of having our group encounter some pretty crime and having to stop it while not knowing how to work as a team and having to conceal their super-powers from normal people. Even a regular group of armed robbers would give them a problem if they can't work together effectively and if they're hampered by secret identities.

[An Outsider]

@MrDidact I'd say we could all do that at the mall, but Nike would never conceal her powers, so it wouldn't work. Then again, that could be part of the tension.

@The Kid Lantern

Quantum

Name - Katie Pruett

Alias - Quantum

Age - 15

Sponsor - Captain Atom

Personality - Courageous, Stubborn, Thick-Skinned

Experience - Only in lab situations.

Powers - Katie's powers are entirely energy based. She can control, absorb, project, and sense energy around her.

Weaknesses - Sometimes her perception of the energy around her can cause a form of sensory overload. Also if she uses her power to much she risks turning into energy herself.

Appearance -


BRIEF Bio - Katie's life was pretty average despite not having a father around. Her mother, older sister, twin sister, and she were always there to help each other. Katie became more of a tomboy in a way to help protect her sisters and mother. When the Reach came to earth she was the only one in her family that was skeptical. That is just her personality though. She is skeptical of everything she doesn't know or understand. However, she did drink the energy drink released by them. One day though she was grabbed by armed men and gathered into a group with many other people. That's when the Reach showed up, taking all the abductees, and began experimenting on them. They exposed Katie to various levels of energy, especially nuclear. Eventually a team of heroes showed up saving the abductees.

Weeks later during a checkup Captain Atom came to check on the progress of the abductees. When he got near to where Katie was she began reacting to some form of stimuli. The doctors quickly moved her to an examination room and Captain Atom followed. She started thrashing around in pain and Captain Atom moved to restrain her, but upon contact the energy in Atom was seemingly sapped from his body. He then collapsed and Katie nearly instantaneously calmed down. Everyone around realized that like a few of the other abductees Katie was developing abilities. For the next few weeks Katie was only allowed to use her ability inside a lab.

When the idea of Young Justice was brought up Captain instantly thought of Katie. At first the rest of the League was unsure if someone so inexperienced with their powers would be a right fit, but Captain Atom assured them that the best way for her to became experienced and for them to keep a close eye on her is if she was a part of the team.

[MrDidact]

@BlackSam3091 That's true. It could also be played for some hilarity too.

But first we can get our boys to the mall and work from there.

@alexfangtalon

I'd call her either Siphon, Verve, or Anomaly.

[alexfangtalon]

@The Kid Lantern So, does that mean she's accepted?

[Roman]

@RomanHow are you guys getting on?

@BlackSam3091

Pretty good, thanks. You?

[Number One]

Karlie and Katie could get confusing real fast.
