It always begins with a Robin. After discovering the truth about his lineage and who his older brother really was, Matt Mcginnis became the new Robin and soon set out to create his own Titans team like Robins of the past. However, it was for all of the wrong reasons. When approaching his older brother at his apartment, Matt showed Terry his new suit. Terry insisted his brother stayed out of the superheroics, claiming it took more than good DNA. The last words out of his mouth would seal his brother's fate... "It would take a team of five or six of you to even take me on and stand a chance..." So Matt had a plan now: to find other young wannabe heroes, preferably with metahuman powers or some strange DNA of their own, and to unite against common threats. The latest Robin would go on to recruit five other heroes and their first mission was to prove themselves to the current Batman. Matt had no chance of taking on his more experienced brother, but when the other young heroes joined the fight it was a little more even playing field. Terry still took them all down, it just wasn't as easy as he thought.
After meeting with his team on a few occasions both in and out of school, a dark time came in the form of the villain Inque. Paid by another enemy who knew the secret identity of Batman, she killed Matt McGinnis before his career had even really began. When Terry found his brother lying lifeless on the floor of the makeshift HQ in an old rundown late 19th century arcade he lost it. He lashed out at the young heroes as if it was their fault in some way. None of them were even around when Inque showed up....
Batman would go on to take down Inque as well as her employer, Paxton Powers... aka the son of Blight and current CEO of Wayne/Powers Industries. After Batman took a few days to cool his head, upon Bruce's request, Terry contacted the young heroes who made up his brother's team. To honor him, Terry took it upon himself to train these new Titans.
One month later, while serving a sentence at Iron Heights, Paxton seemingly got into an accident that left him with metahuman powers of his own. His first target... the pet project of Batman: the Titans.

_______Here's how it is... I've already got one other player in @rocketrobie2 so there's only three or four spots left to fill. Anybody affiliated with the Teen Titans or Young Justice can be reimagined for this or you could take the sons or daughters of today's heroes (the RP takes place around 2043). I'll take applications through the weekend and around Sunday night I'll pick three people to finish the squad. Animal shifting and ice control powers are off the table as well as the role of powerless superhero since Batman will fill that role and be the NPC/Mentor to the team. CS requirements include but are not limited to:
__________________________________

Alias:
Experience: (anywhere from twenty-eight days to ninety days, but you had to have been a hero on Matt McGinnis' radar and now we've been training together at least a month or so...)
Hometown: (options include: Gotham, Bludhaven, or Hub City)
Age: (15-20 years old)

Weaknesses:
Reason for joining Robin?: (this can simply be because you wanted to be a hero, or a power/responsibility or great tragedy moment occurred...?)
Appearance:
BRIEF Bio:
Notes:
Now please remember, I'm only accepting 3-4 more people tops. I'm not looking for or expecting dropouts early on, as I hope everyone is ready to go into this with a bang and excited to develop something like this in the future DCU Beyond setting. Everybody who posts a CS won't make the cut. I've got ideas to move the game forward beyond the opening arc and keeping just what sort of metahuman abilities Paxton Powers has acquired behind bars a secret for now. While we each may live in one of the three cities we'll meet twice a week for training in Gotham and Terry will have set up an actual bunker HQ under the abandoned arcade where his brother was killed. We'll face other enemies of Batman's and I'm up for suggestions as far as other more Titans or YJ themed villains to reimagine for this new setting.
