[OOC] Young Justice Renegades: A Team Worth Dying For

[Hillan]

It's worth noting that the Renegades are going on their first 'big' mission by the start of the IC. Been all together for probably a few weeks, doing lower-tier heroics and just getting a feel for each other. Rescuing kittens and the occasional crook. That sorta thing.

That would be perfect actually! She'll feel a lot of trust with Conor - him being Irish will already give her confidence in him for sure.

@Stormflyx

Cool, I'll add it to my sheet. Just make sure you let me know if/how much/when you want Conor to figure out relating to her ability, just so I don't overstep and help your story along.

[Ever Faithful]

Ain't that a shame. Didn't think there was actually a player limit

[Bork Lazer]

Drats.

[Snownado]

Shame indeed.
I'm just mad the Platypus didn't get in.

@Ever Faithful

I mean as Hillan said he wasn't trying to have one, but there was looooads of applications. Too many people can really make a RP struggle.

@Sep

I get it, I get it.
I'm still gonna stalk the OOC and IC

[Ever Faithful]

That's quite the Unique problem I haven't encountered before. Usually it's a first come first serve where I started

@Ever Faithful

It's pretty common practice on the Guild, that the GM whittles down through the sheets to what they think would best serve their story. Maybe there'll be a chance for you to join in down the line.

[Jarl Coolgruuf]

Damn and I was so close to finishing my sheet too. Maybe next time.

[sassy1085]

Yeah, even though I was excited for this roleplay, I also know I won’t be pick 😞 Oh well, at least try, right?

Hey you never know unless you try friend.

@sassy1085

Hey! Everyone was in the running and I had agonizing choices to make when I realized it wasn't feasible to run the RP with 20+ characters. You did well and getting yourself out there and trying is worth it. See it as a learning experience and you'll grow both as a Roleplayer and writer, but also, and perhaps most importantly as a person.

[sassy1085]

@Sep
Yeah, you are right

[rocketrobie2]

Because getting the cast list at 500 would've been too easy. Too on the line. Not Renegade-enough.

I wanna thank everyone for the frankly, mind-blowing amount of reception this game's had over the past few days. You've gone above and beyond what I expected for the game. It's made me really nostalgic for the old days on the guild and gave me reason to remember why I've called this site, in a sense, my home for the past decade. Good hustle everyone. Because of that, I was planning on just accepting everyone and having at in the IC. But upon rereading the sheets I had read before, and reading the new ones, I've realized that cuts will be made. If you didn't make the cut, you should know that I appreciate you all the same and I'm really glad you came out and I hope to get the chance to RP with you in the future. For those that did make the cut, I'm expecting this thread to move away from (as much) Shitposting, and into the realm of discussing character relations and storybeats as I line up the IC.

I was gonna do a character review of each sheet and knock out any kinks / thoughts I'd have and explain my reasoning. But, frankly. That'd go against the spirit of why I made this game to begin with and with the sheer amount of sheets that have been submitted so far that just wouldn't be possible.

Without further ado.

@Hillan

One more for the road

[Tackytaff]

@Natty@Tackytaff we gotta have some kind of magic gang going on.

@Sep

<Snipped quote by Sep>

I'd be up for joining the mini sub-team of magic users.

I do feel like Gabi may also grow closer to more of the non-US members of the group, due to them all being cultural outsiders to an extent.

@Tackytaff Selene and Gabi's relationship could be an interesting topic to discuss, due to them both being somewhat Wonder Woman related. How would Selene feel about Gabi taking on the Wonder Girl title, for example, despite having never met Diana herself?

@Natty

I love the idea of Selene trying to learn runic magic and getting frustrated/giving up when she doesn't learn it in five minutes. She'll happily be a part of mini-magic-squad, but will probably be a bit quietly resentful that her peers are so much further along their magic training compared to her. Especially with Gabi taking the Wonder Girl title, Selene has a weird relationship with WW where she constantly seeks validation but also kind of hates her for being so controlling over Selene's life and stealing her from her family twice over.
Basically she a steamy insecure jealous mess but tries not to let it affect her relationships, especially not with team-mates. Long term I'd like to Selene and Gabi train together; as she would be very helpful in unlocking her demi-god physiology if not magic, and judging only from the character sheets it seems they'd mesh really well. We make our own demi-goddess sub-group in the magic sub group.

Looking so forward to playing with everyone! Out of curiosity how long has the team been in action? Have characters joined at different times?

[Sep]

@Tackytaff I'll PM what I'm thinking for Selene/Conors dynamic.

[Hillan]

@Tackytaff

Renegades have done nothing mayor yet as a team. Maybe stopping some low-level thugs, rescued a few kittens, that sorta stuff. Their true trial by fire will come pretty early in the thread.

The team's been in action for a few weeks, maybe a month-half, depending on who joined when and what they did before they were all 'up to snuff', as it were. Julian's just been going around picking up strays, and I'll leave it to you guys to decide when and how you got recruited - I'm obviously available to brainstorm Julian's convincing of you to join.

But you could be completely new to the team or as old as the team gets. Julian would've just recently acquired the penthouse so everyone would be new to their current accommodations.

[Sep]

@Hillan with our plan I was kind of considering Conor to be one of the initial members, it just works well for our angle of them working together on an early problem.

@Sep

Yep. That'd be fine. I know Roman wanted to be one of the early bois, too.
And Julian probably would've needed some muscle on his side to recruit someone else, too. The Luthor name might've been off-putting. (Which, frankly, isn't an angle I've seen anyone do yet. Look at you guys, not blaming someone for the sins of the father. Good job.)
