^{"We are the forgotten."}

The American Dream. The idea that anyone can achieve success through hard work and determination in the United States of America. No barriers. No restraints. However, somewhere along the way, it died and became a trap to lure the desperate. While they may still obtain their freedom, they are forever stuck in the bottom while those in the top remain untouched. In recent years, there had been movements and groups that tried to challenge the system and demand meaningful change. But like everything that tends to happen, they were either crushed or forgotten by the majority of the population.

That was until now.

Non-stop protests across racism, police brutality, and other problems plaguing America. While people are protesting for change, four individuals know what's going to happen next. There would be no meaningful change from the government unless they did something about it. They decide to stand their ground and force change as the American Dream is slowly decaying. They have been affected by both the dream and the system. Those working in government have forgotten them. Those in their ivory towers have forgotten them. They are Misfits.

Tremor: Being a second-generation Indian American, Roshanna Chatterji spent her life trying to achieve the dream. That was until a drunk driver forever changed her life. Her mother died on the scene while her father lost feeling on his legs. The driver turned out to be the offspring of a well-known businesswoman, who was able to sweep the incident under the table while the Chatterjis had to deal with the medical bills. Her father became addicted and overdosed on painkillers. Roshanna left shortly after the funeral.

Virtue: Holly Ann Fields witnessed her father getting beaten to death by police officers after being mistaken for a robbery suspect. The officers involved in the murder got away, but the police department was forced to pay the Ann-Fields in a settlement. That caused some in the department to start harassing them for years. Getting tired of it, Holly exposed them in a post that went viral and painted a massive target on her back. Being a small-town police department, they were able to send her a clear message. Fearing for her and her family's life, Holly fled to protect them.

Anarky: A Gothamite that grew up on the East Side of Gotham City, Lonnie Machin lived in an abusive household where his parents treated him like garbage. They were struggling to pay rent, so his father began working for the Beretti crime family. And his mother started stealing for the people that she was cleaning for. Eventually, both of them were caught and sent to prison for the crime of surviving in a fucked up place like Gotham. Lonnie was put in a statehouse and faced more abuse until he was kicked when he became eighteen.

Bunker: Miguel Barragan was unaware of being an undocumented citizen until he tried to apply for a driver's license. He tried to remain under the radar for most of his senior year until he came home to an empty house one day. His parents and baby sister were picked up by immigration agents. Fortunately, he was able to stay in a friend's house while he earned his high school diploma. Yet, the constant fear that someone was going to take him away caused him to leave. He had been on the move for a year now.

This is my backup, backup character. Anyway, like with Batman and Son of Zod, I still want to focus on and explore the real America. Not the one made up by propagandists and fantasized by older generations. And each of the four main characters has been affected by the flaws of the United States (Tremor: Healthcare and Big Pharma; Virtue: Police Brutality and Corruption; Anarky: Poverty and the System; and, Bunker: Undocumented and Immigration). If you're one of those people that hates politics in media (especially in video games and comics), you aren't going to enjoy this.

Yet, not every post is going to be political. I want to explain how these met up with each other and formed The Misfits. Explore how they go on with their lives in a post-Cold War/9-11 world. And I want to develop The Misfits into a respectable group that bow to neither the authorities nor the government. Hopefully, our characters can interact with each other and explore the fundamental differences between them.

And I should mention that this group is based on The Movement. I just changed the name (because it was too on the nose) and removed/added some characters. I hope that's fine.

For the first time in months, Lonnie Machin was able to rest properly without something awakening him in the dead of night. And it was dawn, which gave him time to prepare for the sun. Something that he wasn't used to. Living in Gotham City made him appropriate the cooler temperatures and the unnecessary amount of skyscrapers. But anywhere was better than Gotham. Hell, the Greyhound bus that Lonnie had been on for two days was the safest he had been in a long time. There were only a few other people on board and the driver was paying attention to the freeway. Still, being a Gothamite made him rightfully paranoid of strangers.

Otherwise, he would have been gunned down in an alley.

By the time that the sun was up, the bus had reached its destination: Coral City, California. Lonnie had no clue where he was going when bought that ticket. But again, anywhere was better than Gotham. When the bus stopped for the final time, he knew that it was time to depart. The passengers started doing the same thing and several noticed his attire. He didn't have to turn around to feel some of them making faces at him. One of them was brave enough to comment on the ACAB patch stitched on the vest. "Disgusting."

Lonnie was unfazed by it, grabbed his duffle bag, and left the bus. Inside the bus station, he took a free map of Coral City and started searching for a motel. There was still enough money to stay at a decent motel for a week. It should be enough time to find work and start earning some cash. On his way out, Lonnie felt someone bumping into him and reaching into his back pocket. He immediately turned around and saw that no one was behind him, but he checked his pockets to be safe. That was when he found a small piece of paper and something messy written on it:

Trying to run away from the system that threw you aside?
Go to Angel's Hand, if you want to take a stand.

Lonnie was more curious than afraid. So, he got the map and searched for the name. He eventually found out it was a bar located near the coast. He wanted answers and the only way to get them was head to the bar. And that's what he did, not knowing what the future was in store.

BATMAN

_{Archie Goodwin International Airport}

0.00 // A Bitter Sweet Reunion

---

Six years ago, Bruce Wayne bid farewell to his friends and family before departing his hometown to see the world. To find himself away from the place that changed his life forever. In secret, he spent those years learning everything required to uphold his promise. Boxing with the world-famous Wildcat in Boston, acrobatics at a circus in Cologne, intimidation and interrogation from former Spetsnaz agents at Norilsk, and plenty of other useful skills learned across the world. It wasn't cheap nor painless, but he appreciated every single one of his teachers. There was more to learn, but the life-changing experience in the caves of New Mexico opened his eyes to something possible.

Upon setting foot on the epoxy flooring of the lavish airport, Wayne saw how much it had changed since he left it years ago. It got an expensive makeover along with a new terminal facility and runway thanks to donations from infamous Carmine Falcone. Almost everyone knew that he was Don of the Falcone Crime Family, but it was clear that the politicians and police were in his pocket. Wayne approached a massive fountain, inspired by the Fontana del Tritone in Rome, and read the plaque:

THE FOUNTAIN OF GOTHAM
Donated by the Falcone Family in honor of Gotham City's rich history.
_{Any coins generously thrown will go support Gotham General Hospital.}

Wayne reached into his pocket, pulled out a quarter, and flicked it at the fountain. Then, he made his way outside and saw Gotham's skyline for the first time in years. There were several skyscrapers still unfinished in various stages of completion, just like it was years ago. Mayor Hill and the city council talked about having Gotham City's skyline rival Metropolis' or even New York City's. Of course, it was all nonsense because the project cost billions. But, it seemed that the same family is helping to make that dream a reality (along with a few other wealthy families and individuals). Even with the touch-up, it was meant to cover up the city's ugly truth.

And all someone had to do was drive beyond the tourist attractions.

"Did you say Park Row?" the taxi driver asked Wayne.

"Yeah... The Community Clinic." Wayne answered while watching the driver's reaction through the rearview mirror. It was clear that he was nervous and scared about traveling there. Nevertheless, the driver didn't say anything and kept on driving. There was reason to fear Park Row that Wayne couldn't even dismiss. It was filled with criminals and became a hotbed of crimes ranging from robbery to murder. The clinic was always filled with patients that sought aid and safety without judgment. It was one of the few remaining reminders of its past before... that night.

The taxi driver stopped in front of the clinic and unlocked only Wayne's door. He exited out of the cab and went to pay the driver. Wayne tried to thank the driver, but he already sped off. He didn't blame the driver for wanting to leave. After all, he was terrified of going to Park Row and being robbed at knifepoint. The truth was that nobody was going to bother robbing a tax driver, but the lie was still being spread by the police, politicians, and the media. Interested in seeing his surrogate family, Wayne made his way inside the clinic.

Once inside, Wayne noticed the people waiting for their names to be called. It wasn't crowded as usual on a weekday, which was either a good or bad sign. Immediately, a familiar voice called out his name. "Bruce?!"

It was Marva Cooper still working at the garage based on the grease stains on her overalls. She gave him a tight hug before asking, "What the hell are you doing back?!"

"Got tired of exploring the world." Wayne answered sarcastically and then noticed that she was at the clinic. "What are you doing here?"

"Just waiting for my dad to finish up with his appointment. Nothing serious, just a routine checkup ordered by Leslie herself." Cooper sat back down and waited for Wayne to sit next to her. She noticed that he had something on his mind and decided to say something. "Hey, are you alright?"

"I... Actually, I have a favor to ask you and your father."

"Yeah, what is-" Before she could finish, the door opened for Earl Cooper as he was walking out with Dr. Leslie Thompkins behind him. They were in the middle of talking when Thompkins noticed Wayne, sitting there. She didn't believe it at first. But, it was a huge relief to know that he was alive after not writing back for a few weeks. Bruce got up and hugged her before she could've started crying her eyes out. Earl, meanwhile, walked over to his daughter and placed his hand on her shoulder. Both of them watched Wayne and Thompkins having a touching reunion.

^{"I swear that i will jolly well slaughter anyone that makes a "Monkey Business" joke."}

Beloved pet of the famed explorer, Fred Thorpe, Bobo was once as any ordinary chimp. Found by Fred when he rescued the baby from some poachers on an excursion to Africa. Bobo was raised by Fred and became his faithful sidekick on many adventures, all the way up until his last one. During WWII, Fred worked for MI5 on a mission to prevent Nazi spies from locating and coming into possession of Excalibur. After a long and perilous journey, Bobo and Fred found their way to The Chamber of The Lady, who would grant the sword to whoever had only the purest intentions for the defense of Britain and her people. Just as Fred was about to step up and claim it. After Fred was deemed not worthy enough, the spies that were waiting for him to claim it so they could take it from him, saw no reason to let him live and cut him down with gunfire. Outraged at the death of his friend and father-figure, Bobo thought of nothing but defending Fred and his people. To which the lady responded and gave the chimp Excalibur, with which to defend king and country. As he took the blade, he was given intelligence and wisdom. He easily dispatched the two spies and buried his friend, before making his way back to MI5 and explaining the situation. Seeing that Britain's champion, by ancient rite, was a chimpanzee, they saw no other recourse but to begin training the chimp in all forms of espionage, detective work, combat. Bobo became Britains unknown champion, bodyguard to the royal family, Agent of MI5. But soon, the busienss of human affairs grew to bore him and he began to wonder about the animal kingdom, who would defend them. Retiring from MI5, he used his money to buy a flat in Baker Street and he has put out the word among the animals, spread the word far and wide. If a champion was needed to defend those that could not defend themselves, if an animal was cruelly ripped from its mother to be solf on the black market, if a dog was mistreated by its owner. Bobo T Chimpanzee would be there and on the case.

Bobo is a fun character whenever he pops up and i do hope to have fun telling detective stories where he has to investigate animal disappearances, as well as maybe become the one to discover a number of super-powered animals around the world. The end goal would be for Bobo to amass such a status among the animals of the world that he is able to create a Legion of Super-Pets, using all sorts of animal heroes from all over the world with backstories that fit into their human counterparts new re-imagined story as told through the IC. But right now, i kinda just want to give a Chimp Excalibur and a funny hat and have him solve mysteries and have other wacky adventures.

Gorilla Grodd

Grodd is the deposed ruler of the secret African civilization of Gorilla City. Originally getting into office due to his charisma, he began bringing incredibly dangerous plans to bare against the rest of the world, including a plan for human extinction, Bobo helped his own people overthrow him and ever since, Grodd has had a vendetta against Chimp, becoming something of the Moriarty to his Holmes. Grodd is always up to some evil scheme to eradicate humanity and give Earth back to the Apes.

Mister Mind

Once but a simple Caterpillar, munching his way through leaves, he had no idea that he was destined to become of the keenest criminal minds the universe had ever seen. Having the fortune to be in the area where a powerful wizard was casting a spell to try and enter the magical realm, the wizard thought he had failed, not realizing that he had succeeded, but the magical realm had opened itself only the the caterpillar hiding in the grass where he was trying to cast the spell. Falling through the bind eternities, the Caterpillar landed on the Throne of Metron, god of Knowledge. The caterpillar, not knowing what was happening, simply wondered what it didn't know and the chair began to teach it EVERYTHING. As it sat drinking an ungodly amount of knowledge from the chair, Metron noticed the creature and banished it from the realm.

The Caterpillar called itself Mister Mind and now has a single goal in life, to get back to the chair and obtain the ultimate knowledges and it has no care for what it has to do in order to get there.

A sample post that can be used in the IC if you so desire upon acceptance. This post should provide an example of your vision for the desired character. This sample post should meet all standards outline in the rules and additionally include dialogue, mannerisms and other actions representative of your intended portrayal.

A list linking to your IC posts as they're created. This can be used for a reference guide to your character or to summarize completed arcs and stories.

Work in progress, but here's hoping it's liked.

@mattmanganon

Cool app, but I'm going to use a different version of Grodd with Flash.

[Master Bruce]

EDIT: Nevermind. Saw that another app was put forth over this.

[rocketrobie2]

@Master Bruce Sorry for the confusion!

Outta curiosity, was OMAC accepted? I missed the original unedited post.

[Master Bruce]

Not nessescarily, I was moreso wondering what his alignment was. But if you're going for Black Adam, it's a non-issue.

[rocketrobie2]

Ah gotcha

[Master Bruce]

@BlackSam3091's Wonder Woman and @AndyC's Starfire/Raven duo app are hereby...

[Master Bruce]

Deciding to put something to a vote, here...

With a pretty stacked roster already, I'm asking all accepted players thus far: did we want to go ahead and shoot for Friday for an IC opening? Or does Saturday give more people more time to prepare?

[Simple Unicycle]

Friday's sooner, so I vote Friday.

[Supermaxx]

Saturday gives me more time to finish my sample post, so I vote for that :P

EDIT: wait I can’t vote in this election oh god oh fuck voter fraud-

[Hound55]

If you go with Friday, I don't doubt some early birds will pump some posts out by then. People who weren't going to be ready until Saturday can still get there's done then anyway.

[DocTachyon]

Maybe as a compromise, open Friday but count for inactivity as if we started Saturday? That way people who want to go in early can, and people who'd prefer to prepare still have their usual allotted amount of time.
