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

[Sep]

<Snipped quote by 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.)

@Hillan

Didn't I read somewhere that Luthor wasn't confirmed to be Uber-Evil?

[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.

@Tackytaff

I like the sound of this! Maybe initially there could be some coldness between the two of them to an extent? I feel if Gabi gets any kind of idea that someone doesn't like her/has a problem with her, she'll get hostile herself, which could be a fun dynamic until they eventually talk and realise how well they'd mesh together

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.

@Hillan

Gabi will be one of the later members to join i think, because as discussed, she was hesitant to leave Guatemala.

Magic Sub-Team has Drama.

Gosh darnit.

@Sep

I mean, he isn't 'maniacally fighting Superman in a supersuit full of kryptonite'. But he's been in and out of prison a couple times for white collar crime and been put on trial for more severe stuff but gotten away with it due to lack of evidence. He is in general not a good man by anyone's imagination. Unless you're the biggest licker of boots there is.

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.

@Hillan

Apologies as I have not fully and completely read all of the sheets so I could well be misconstruing something here.

I think Julian and Eilidh could have an interesting relationship within the group and something that sprung to my mind was the idea of them working together to help him with his more emotional side, perhaps on the down low. He can impart to her the knowledge he has about telepathy learned from his experience and she can assist him with keeping emotions in check.

@Stormflyx

That sounds lovely! Man recruited his own therapist.

[AlteredTundra]

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.

CAST LIST FOR YOUNG JUSTICE RENEGADES:
Julian Luthor - @Hillan
Charity Charleston - @Lord Wraith
Dandelion - @Dead Cruiser
Conor O'Brien - @Sep

Hana Hazard - @psych0pomp
Gabriella Rivero - @Natty

@Hillan

@metanoia We going with the street lyf buddies?

@Sep

And yessir! All shitposting aside (well mostly because Scarab actually getting pissy with Conor should be canon ), the idea of both Conor and Johnny Dash being buds makes sense. I feel they would click so well together regardless how the scarab perceives Conor.

[Sep]

@Natty talking about divides amongst our magical sub-community, what would you like from Conor? Perhaps he's trying to find a way to let her use the powers, but prevent the transformation?

[Hillan]

@Tackytaff

You missed the detail about how he made the meat-suits powerful enough to probably level the planet, too.
Definitely not evil.

[Sep]

@metanoiaIf you wanna write up on your sheet his relation to Conor I'll counter it on my sheet, or you can PM me. Works picking up a bit so don't have as much time for the next couple hours.

@Sep

I feel at this point Gabi isn't too worried about the transformation, and would just brush off any remark about it. This could be something to look into in the future though, after a conflict causes it to extend much further than it had previously, for example. Or, despite her protests that it doesn't matter currently, he could be looking into it regardless without her knowledge.

For the time being, he could be helping her with just researching Mayan culture, etc. While her dad told her stories as a kid, there's still a lot she doesn't know and is curious about. I imagine Conor would be very eager to look into this with her, given this is the first time the Mayan Gods have done anything in hundreds of years

[Sep]

@Natty I'm fine with the academic interest angle. "Is she a god or is it just magic?" Kinda stuff.

Again if you type up, I'll mirror that if you don't have a chance just now I'll get it once things calm down a bit.

[Sep]

@rocketrobie2 just to check (your @ was broken) you know you're in right Rocketman?

[Dion]

As a true connoisseur of the fine art of writing, I want to say I hope you all do very well in this RP and I hope that this RP can, in some way or shape, become the next greatest RP on RPG. Good luck guys!

[Lord Wraith]

@Hillan can we keep him?

[Hillan]

@Hillan can we keep him?

@Lord Wraith

I try. But a man like @Odin is not so easy to lock down.
He's a free spirit. And if you love something, you have to let him go.

Be free, my sweet little Sweaboo.

@Hillan

The most difficult choices...

[DocTachyon]

So... Who wants a pet dinosaur?

[Hillan]

I've decided that the amount of characters, interest and speed this thread is likely to move at once the IC opens (If the OOC is any indication) I'll need reinforcement and have named @Sep Co-GM. Everyone clap.

And enjoy his inaudible Scottish.
