The Justice League had been active for several years. Their membership included Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern (Alan Scott), and Robot Man. Most of them were already in their 40's, Batman was rumored to be in his 50's. The team took down threats such as Brainiac, the rogue General Eiling, Solomon Grundy and an army of the undead, a Thanagarian Cult, and dozens of others. One year ago the Justice League extended its reach and took in several new heroes to form the Justice League Unlimited. Over the course of the first several weeks the League learned about the existence of a similar group, composed of super criminals, calling themselves the Society and brought together by the devious Lex Luthor Jr.




Present day the world is full of heroes. After the death of Superman seven months ago at the hands of the monstrous creature called Doomsday criminal activity has gone up in several countries around the world. After completing an exo-suit to compensate for the beatings his body had taken the last twenty years, Batman worked with the League in training younger metahumans and such. While the League is operated in Metropolis by Wonder Woman and Robotman, Batman trains the group he’s come to call Titans in San Francisco. Green Lantern is on reserve status with a wife pregnant with twins on the way in the next two to three months, living upstate now about an hour away from Gotham in Jump City. There are several active members of the JLU as well as reserve members on call. Dozens of other costumed individuals have made themselves known over the course of the last year outside of the JLU. Central City, Coast City, Jump City, Star City, Hub City, Bludhaven, New York, San Francisco, and Midway City in America as well as Tokyo, Hong Kong, London, and the small country of Khandaq all have had dozens of reports of superhuman criminal activity with few people standing up to fight.



If it isn’t obvious yet this is meant to be more of a sandbox style role-play with smaller groups already somewhat pre-established as well as a little continuity so we have something to go on. The Justice League Unlimited from games past is still somewhat cannon to a degree with Superman still being dead and the JLU only being active for roughly a year. Batman hasn’t been replaced by a shapeshifting alien though, and instead has an exo-suit similar to the Batman Beyond/Batwing suits. He’s also training a team of 16-24 year olds he dubbed the ‘Titans’ in San Fransisco. So similar to a MMORPG we have the more ‘social’ cities with more players in Metropolis and Gotham because of the importance of the two cities, as well as people doing their own thing elsewhere.

Generally I try and keep contact and collaborate on posts with other players and the Co-GM’s on piratepads as well as Discord more recently so I'll likely throw up links for the Piratepad once this gets to the starting line [WXer linked you all to the Discord]. If you don't like collaborating with others, have diva like tendencies, or generally are disrespectful on the regular... this isn't the game for you. If you're known for writing up killer character sheets then never doing anything in-game... this isn't the game for you. Serious commitment is what I'm looking for, since currently this is the only RP I'm focusing my time on. I'm not saying nobody else can have a life or be in other RP's, just don't forget about this RP. Respect other players and respect the game and everything will be peachy. Or some other type of fruity awesomeness.

GM Notes 4/30/18 - The IC is up and running! Those on the Accepted list can go ahead and repost your CS's in the character tab. To all potential players looking to get in on this, know that villains aren't currently being accepted into the cast and there's only so much room for anti-heroes. In this universe there are no other Lanterns and there were never any Robins. If you've still got a character you want to pitch here's the link to the iCheck with the CS requirements and additional info.


roleplayerguild.com/topics/171610-dc-…

Also be advised that with a current cast of over 20 players, the other GM's and myself will be very picky on who else makes the cut. Thank you for your continued interest, and let's get ready to rock the socks off the DCU!

Hey @Omega Man, I'm pretty interested in this RP and right now I'm trying to make Vigilante, based off the cowboy dude that appeared in the JLU cartoon. I want to make him a full Leaguer considering the dearth of them you seem to have right now, but I'm having a bit of a problem feeling out how powerful he should be.

The way I see it, there are really two main types of Justice League Heroes, fighters and Batman. Fighters are everyone who isn't named Batman, with actually useful powers and equipment that allows them to fight people like Darkseid. Then there's Batman, master tactician and planner who doesn't actually need to throw hands to get things done.

My problem with creating Vig is I think it'd spoil his character a bit to just hand him superpowers, and making Batman-But-A-Cowboy would feel dumb. My solution to this is to give him a list of useful equipment that lets him actually be effective in combat against League villains instead of just being a cowboy who walked into the wrong saloon. I'm wondering: How much is too much? And, as a sampler, here are some of the ideas I was considering:

Special Cylinders: In the comics, Vigilante died and was resurrected. No one's really sure exactly how the Resurrection happened(according to Wikipedia), but in my version I'm writing it as if he had a stint of being a cowboy in hell, where he got the handful of magic items. The main one of these would be two special revolver cylinders. One fires infinite bullets that are somewhat weak, the other can fire six golden bullets every forty-eight hours. These golden bullets have the power of a pretty solid Superman punch.

Collapsible Rocket Launcher: Developed by Wayne Tech and stored in the saddlebags of his Motorbike. Breaks it out when the situation calls for it.

Is this too much? I'd really like to see him involved with the League and I don't really seem him being effective if all he's got is a handful of lead rounds.

@DocTachyon If you wanted to give him tech one of the later Vigilantes would make more sense. The classic version was always just a charismatic marksman and a bit of a grease monkey. He was just barely considered a hero. Making the cowboy V more than that is kind of a disservice to the character.

Added my CS to the Character Thread plus a separate hider containing her weapons and another hider to potentially add updates (such as relationships with PCs & completed story arc summaries) to my character without changing the original CS.

I'd be interested in doing a collab for Last Week's Fish. Since Manta also loves in Coast City.
