[OOC] Young Justice Avenger (A Next Generation Amalgamverse)

[mattmanganon]

The Premise

This is a lot like the standard Young Justice/Young Avengers RP's you are no doubt aware of as they have been a staple of this site since its inception. This is an Amalgamverse RP, meaning that it's mainly Marvel x DC, but there's a few other things crossed into it. The big difference here being that you are actively encouraged to do weird and wonderful stuff with the premise. Actively encouraged to pair characters that have otherwise never had the chance to be paired as well as to play their offspring. The idea of this is that the Superhero boom happened a while ago and this is the new generation of heroes that have yet to properly make their mark on the superhero scene. Want to play the son of Batman and Spider-Woman? Go ahead. Want to play a reimagining of Robbie Reyes as Jaime Reyes' brother? Want to play May Day Parker that's been accepted into the Green Lantern Corps? Why the hell not? I am actively encouraging that you go crazywild with the idea's of these two universes melded together.

History

There is yet to be a definitive recent history of the universe, as that would restrict a lot of creativity from the players, but there is a definite history up until the creation of the Justice League that is active on this world:

*Pre-WWI: Heroes are seen as little more than folklore. Heroes such as Arthur Pendragon, Jonah Hex and Zorro exist, but mostly as legend.
*WWI: Whilst no Superheroes fought directly for either side, some fought indirectly. Including Wonder Woman who indirectly fought for the Entente.
*Interwar Years: The rise of Superheroes as actual icons. Starting with people like Green Hornet, The Blue Beetle (Dan Garrett) and Namor The Submariner start to make themselves known. Eventually, they came together to form the Justice Society of America and thus began the "Golden Age of Superheroes"
*WWII: Just after the German Invasion of Czechoslovakia, the British Ministry of Defense and her colonies governments came together with Ministère des Armées and the Polish Ministerstwo Obrony Narodowej, founding a department for the specific purpose of smuggling Superpowered people out of Axis Territories should war come. Officially it was known as MI7, although it had another name "Super Human Infiltration, Extraction and Liberation Division" or S.H.I.E.L.D. After the United States joined at the dawn of 1942, the Americans were brought into S.H.I.E.L.D. and soon after, the Justice Society of America joined on their side. Wonder Woman leading the Justice Society alongside heroes like Captain America, the Human Torch (Jim Hammond), GI Robot and many others. Captain America was assumed KIA, but with the Justice Society's help, the Allies were Victorious.
*Cold War: With the decline of the British Empire post war, administration of S.H.I.E.L.D. was handed over to the United Nations. The Justice Society had most of its legal power stripped and handed over to S.H.I.E.L.D. and it was reduced to mostly a ceremonial organization. S.H.I.E.L.D. was reluctant to get involved with the Vietnam war and most of the world accepted that, but after the assassination of President Kennedy, his successor, Lyndon B. Johnson had another organization, CADMUS, founded in secret. This organization was designed to be kept secret from the Senate and made known and answerable only to the President and a select group of others. They were tasked with the developement of Super Soldier programs based on Captain America, as well as drafting super-powered individuals into the service of the United States government. The first fruits of their labour were deployed to Vietnam, but their new agency's inexperience causes numerous problems and the US Government is forced to pull out in order to keep this a secret and Communist North Vietnam is victorious.
*1980's: Superman arrives on Earth, Captain America is found and defrosted, Thomas and Martha Wayne are killed by Joe Chill and Thor Odinson arrives on Earth.
*1990's: New York city is invaded by Loki Lauffreyson and his army of Frost Giants. It's at this time that a number of heroes come together and drive Loki and his forces off of Earth. Iron Man, Captain America, The Incredible Hulk, Thor Odinson, Antman and The Wasp. Wonder Woman, the still leader of the old Justice Society came to them and discussed the situation. It was decided that the old Society no longer had the authority to do what needed to be done. The last of the old Justice Society of America came forward and the society was fully decommissioned. The heroes of the world came together to form the brand new organization, the League of International Justice or "Justice League" for short was founded with many teams being instituted to fight for justice across the planet. Including the New York 6 being kept together as a team, also known as "The Avengers"

The Justice League is primarily funded by Wayne Enterprises, Inc. Stark Industries and a few other investors. The current rules are vast, but the most important one is this: "All entrants to the League MUST be 25 years of age (Or equal maturity age if other species)" That's where your characters come in. Tony Stark is now sponsoring a new initiative to get the younger heroes of the world into the League. A whole team thats primary purpose is to train the newest and youngest heroes to control their powers and use them for the betterment of mankind.

[Bork Lazer]

Name:Ronald King Sanders

Hero Name: Sauce Boss

Known Alias: Condiment Prince, The Michelin Massacrer

Age: 19

Powers: Possesses an extremely complex palette, capable to individually distinguishing over 100 flavo-molecules in every type of sauce, ragu and reduction possible.

Equipment: An oversized spandex suit from his villanous father alongside two hydraulic spray guns attached to the Flavor-Town, a piece of equipment strapped to his back that chemically synthesizes over 1000 kinds of sauce. Also has an emergency codpiece sauce cannon attached to his belt in case of emergencies that is loaded with enriched mayo and mustard.

Skills:

In his CV, Ronald Sanders has been a shift manager at Big Belly Burger for over 3 years and has acquired the astronomical ability to deal with unsatisfied customers and angry co-workers. This is by far the most important aspect of his skill-set which overshadows his training in HEMA wrestling, marksmanship and inhuman acrobatics.

Ronald King Sanders is also a nutritionist of an inhuman calibre, capable of determining an individual's flavor standards, allergy profile and the amount of calories that a human being is capable of consuming before incapacitation or death.

Appearance:

60 kilograms of heart-pumping cholesterol and illegal preservatives stored in a plump belly and topped with blonde hair. His suit often gets wedgies.

Known Associates:

Frank Castle/The Punisher - Has threatened to kill Ronald if he acts out of line.

Codpiece - Drinking buddy and personal provider of genital gear.

Known Adversaries:

Eye-Scream - Engaged in a familial feud over whether ice-cream is considered sauce or not.

Egg-Fu - Vows vengeance against Ronald for using his relatives as ingredients in mayonaise.

Flaming Carrot - A Lord of Order on par with Doctor Fate who is determined to set the bar straight on the American diet.

Canon Basis:

Through this RP, I intend to explore a question that has haunted me for a solid chunk of my lifetime.

What is sauce? What are its boundaries? Are we just sauce solidified or sauce transcended to a higher plane of existence, of sapience whereby we are free to enact on what we assume? Is sauce our end or our beginning? Are all things sauce?

The Sauce Boss will act as the instrument for which I will solve this conundrum with.

Bio:

After Condiment King's issues of inadequacy led to a psychotic break whereby he held the U.S President hostage with radioactive sriracha bombs, he was accidentally killed by the Justice League when they gave him an anaphylactic attack by forcing him to swallow coleslaw dressing. His son was orphaned and left to fend for himself.The systemic issues of the US adoption system and the inheritance of Condiment's King obsession with sauce led him to adopting the name of the Condiment Lord whereby his first act was to flood the shores of South and North Rhlesia with mustard in an attempt to start a sauce-fest.

Unfortunately, Frank Castle, otherwise known as the Punisher, shot him in the heart before he could commit the act and landed him a six-week stay in the hospital.

This near brush with death led to a crisis of epiphany, a re-evaluation of his obsession with sauce and thus, the Sauce Boss was born.

The Justice League is primarily funded by Wayne Enterprises, Inc. Stark Industries, and a few other investors. The current rules are vast, but the most important one is this: "All entrants to the League MUST be 21 years of age (Or equal maturity age if other species)" That's where your characters come in.

A whole team that primary purpose is to train the newest and youngest heroes to control their powers and use them for the betterment of mankind.

@mattmanganon

What age range are you looking for?

[mattmanganon]

@NinaDivine Generally, ages 10 to 20.

[NinaDivine]

I'm thinking of a Miss Martian-type character... drawing inspiration from Miss Martian from the Young Justice animated series, Clark Kent from Smallville, Sarah Crushing from Superman & Lois, and De'Lila from Marvel comics.

I'm sure many of you have gotten together in Discord and discussed things. So if someone has already expressed they want to do a Miss Martian sort of character please let me know.

I do have a few other ideas.

[Bounce]

Oh, what the hell, why not? If/when the concept is accepted, I'll hop into the Discord.

recycled OC

Name: Syaoran "Sai" Kuli Chandler
Hero Name: Seraph
Known Alias':
Age: 11 years
Powers: Syaoran inherited his mother's powers and abilities, with some minor variations.

• Super Strength (~1 ton): Syaoran is roughly ten times stronger than an adult human male.
• Visual Light Manipulation: Syaoran can manipulate a broader spectrum of the visual electromagnetic spectrum than his mother, giving his powers a more "rainbow-like" effect. These can be used to generate light sources or kinetic force blasts.
• Flight: Syaoran can fly using his light manipulation powers, leaving a rainbow trail in his wake.

Equipment: Nintendo Switch, Smart Watch
Skills: Hand-to-Hand Combat, Shi'ar technology
Appearance: A skinny pre-teen, Syaoran displays a predominantly Shi'ar physiology, with the most prominent feature being the feathers that grow from his head (in lieu of the hair exhibited in humans). Like his mother, Syaoran's feathers do not adopt the traditional "triangular" shape, being instead downturned and giving him a more bed-headed appearance. His eyes exhibit the same markings and lines as his mother, as well as her same violet irises. While lighter in skin tone than the average Shi'ar (or his mother), Syaoran's pigmentation is more golden than the typical pink hue of a Caucasian.

Known Associates: Excalibur (by virtue of his mother), John Constantine (by reputation only, by virtue of his father)
Known Adversaries: Rev. Craig Sinclair, who believes the union of man and alien is an afront to God's image or design. By extension, Syaoran is a known target of both the Purifiers and Friends of Humanity.
Canon Basis: Son of Cerise and Chas Chandler.

Bio: It is a tale as old as science fiction itself. Cab driver working in London. Hot alien warrior chick crashes through roof of said cab, and the two fall in love whilst fighting for their lives in SoHo. Well, Cerise did most of the fighting and Chas did most of the driving, and when it was all said and done the two were alive -- and Chas discovered the Shi'ar don't use anything resembling currency on this planet. So, instead, he got her to agree to a coffee date. Then she left to save the world, but they saw each other again. Then again. One thing led to another and Syaoran was conceived six months later -- much to both their surprise, given that they were two different species.

Honor compelled Cerise to bring their family together before the child was born, a tense period for their relationship before the two unlikely partners tied the knot in Avalon. Over the next ten years, both would sacrifice their careers at times for the sake of raising the son that they had brought into the world. Chas stopped driving for awhile to be a stay at home dad, then Cerise took a leave of absence from Excalibur after a harrowing sequence of events that had nearly cost them all of their lives.

Now that Syaoran is a little older, both have been able to return to their chosen vocation with fewer reservations. Cerise still doesn't leave Earth as much as she used to, opting instead to stay behind as the rear guard while Excalibur does what needs to be done to keep England and the world safe. Likewise, Chas is home for dinner every night -- even though the most lucrative hours are when the pubs close. It leaves the family of three on a tight budget in a small flat, but it's a relatively normal life as one can have in jolly ol' England. The one exception is that both Cerise and Syaoran are clearly not human -- or not entirely human in the case of the boy. Their feathers, their distinctive eyes, and the golden hues of their skin distinguish them, which made Syaoran a rather public infant when revealed that a cab driver and an extraterrestrial had a baby.

Some of that attention has been good, or at least well-intentioned. The National Institute of Health would happily use Syaoran as a guinea pig for research purposes. Others have been ill-intentioned, whether intended or otherwise. The Right Reverend Craig Sinclair being the foremost voice in opposition, stoking religious fervor and even at times appearing to call for violence in response. These messages have found their home among those who believe humanity has lost its way, such as the Purifiers or Friends of Humanity. At times a nuisance. At other times a very real threat. While his mother has schooled him in the ways of the Shi'ar warrior culture, she knows that she cannot protect him all of the time. So the family turns to Tony Stark's new initiative, in the hopes that Syaoran can learn to protect himself and others -- and maybe make friends of connections to help keep him safe as well.

@TheRedWatcher I like it, an interesting character with a point to prove and a story to tell. Just get a bio in there and we'll see about accepting it.

@Bork Lazer I love the idea of Flaming Carrot being a Lord of Order (And you seriously have no idea how much i love that concept) I accept and hope that you don't get lost in the sauce.

@NinaDivine Nope, nobody's mentioned Ms Martian yet. And a lot of discussion will take place on the Discord so if you want to keep up with it, i do recommend that. Alternatively, i accept that not everyone has/wants a Discord account.

@Bounce Chas deserves a hot alien Waifu. Also, loving the emo Mowgli avatar... Emowgli if you would. Apart from the "Light Manipulation" part giving me Vietnam flashbacks to an old RP (A player from the old site ruined that power forever) I do have to say i can see this being interesting, especially adding a biblical aspect. It's gonna be a yes and please mosey over to the Discord.

[TheRedWatcher]

@mattmanganonNo problem, I am working on that in the background. I'll have it up soon.

[Martian]

Just finished my character. It seems I'm the only person so far to mix two characters rather than do the child of a pair.

Iron Lad

Name:

Hiro Okamura

Hero Name:

Iron Lad

Known Alias':

Toyman, Kid Kang

Age:

17

Powers:

None, Hiro is a regular human.

Equipment:

Neuro-Kinetic Armour - An advanced set of armour from far in the future, the armour is linked directly to Hiro’s mind, allowing him to control it mentally. The armour is both durable, having most attacks bounce off it, and strong, allowing Hiro to lift five tons. Hiro can also fire concussive blasts out of the fingertips of the suit, knocking things back with the force of several tons of dynamite. Hiro can also use this innate energy in the armour to fly.

The neuro-kinetic part of the suit comes in that the suit can transform to mirror Hiro’s thoughts. This could be something like creating a shield, spikes, or changing colour. Hiro can also manipulate the energy in the suit to do various things, such as shooting energy blasts, creating an energy barrier, forming different chemical shots, or emitting various types of particles. Hiro can also mentally hack into nearby computer systems using the suit’s wireless connection.

Skills:

Hiro has a genius level intellect and is one of the smartest mortals on Earth. He is easily able to create new inventions and modifications for any situation. He has several degrees earned during his time with SHIELD, specializing in physics, robotics, genetics, biochemistry, weapons technologies, programming, and repair.

Appearance:

Hiro has the average body of a teenager, standing at 5’8’’ with a slim build. His skin is slightly, while his eyes and hair are dark brown in colour. His skin is blemish free, with no scars, tattoos or other marks. He tends to wear plain clothes, avoiding vibrant colours. Quite often he’ll just wear a white sweater and black jeans. The default appearance of his armour is a bulky metal design that is silver and crimson in colour. There are several glowing yellow circles all around the armour, while the helmet has eyes, a nose, and a mouth.

Known Associates:

• Robin - The sidekick of the Batman, they helped save Hiro from Toyman. (I’m leaving it open to who the current Robin is in case someone wants to play them or use them in their back story.)
• Suberboy - They sidekick of Superman, they also helped save Hiro from Toyman. (Also leaving this open in case anyone else wants to use them.
• Bentley-23 - A clone of the villain the Wizard. Was recruited into the SHIELD think tank around the same time as Hiro. While Hiro does find him annoying, he is probably Hiro’s closest friend at SHIELD.

Known Adversaries:

• Kang the Conqueror - A time travelling tyrant. Hiro learnt that he is destined to grow up to be him. Hiro will do everything in his power to prevent that from happening. Depending where or in what time line you encounter Kang, he may go by Rama-Tut, Immortus, Scarlet Centurion, or any other multitude of name.
• Winslow Schott - The original Toyman. A villain from Metropolis, he kidnapped a young Hiro. While he was captured and Hiro freed, Hiro still has a lot of animosity toward him.

Canon Basis:

Combination of DC’s Hiro Okamura and Marvel’s Iron Lad.

Bio:

Born in Tokyo to a family of scientists, Hiro showed that he had an incredible intellect from a young age. Upon graduating from high school at the age of eleven, Hiro was scouted by SHIELD, being offered a spot in their advanced science think tank. It was here that Hiro decided that he wanted to be a superhero, as he watched the members of the Justice League work with SHIELD. While Hiro was usually regulated to a background role, working on gear or research projects, he would get a chance to shine eventually.

When Hiro was fifteen a race of aliens called Appellaxians attacked Earth, each of their warriors seeing if they could conquer a major city. The Justice League was quickly spread thin fighting these giant monsters around the planet. Realizing that this was a chance to prove himself, Hiro activated one of his creations, a giant Composite Superman-Batman robot. Controlling the composite robot, Hiro was able to defend his hometown of Tokyo from an Appellaxian. Following this triumph, Hiro would become notable throughout SHIELD for his constructs. Some would even dub him the Toyman.

Unfortunately this moniker was already in use. The insane Winslow Schott, the original Toyman, took offence to the use of his title, so he kidnapped Hiro. The young genius was trapped in a toy factory for a week before he was rescued by Robin and Superboy. This event proved to be traumatic for Hiro who promptly took some time off from SHIELD. During this time Hiro would try and do some soul searching.

But that search would lead him to meeting Kang, a time travelling warlord. Kang took Hiro to the future where he revealed that Hiro would grow up to become Kang. Initially not believing him, Hiro was convinced when Kang showed him key moments in the time line. Kang would then start training Hiro, grooming him for his future purpose. Hiro would spend a year travelling the time stream with Kang, the whole time looking for a way to escape. He would get that chance when Kang left to battle his arch nemesis, the Fantastic Four.

Hiro would break into Kang’s armoury, and steal a set of advanced neuro-kinetic armour. Hiro would then attempt to use the time portal on Kang’s time ship to head back to his own time. But he screwed up and sent himself a few years too late. Hiro would arrive in a world where he had been forgotten, believed dead for three years. But Hiro would immediately try and approach the Justice League to warn them of Kang, hoping to join them in an effort to avoid the future he witnessed. Iron Man would tell him that he was still too young, but did recommend instead the Young Justice Avenger Initiative. Hiro would eagerly join, deciding on the name Iron Lad.

[Virani]

Finally finished character. Hope it's okay :)

Age: 20
Powers: Melissa has the ability to create various sonic effects through the combined action of her vocal chords and harness. She can produce the following effects:

Sonic Scream

Canon Basis:
An amalgamation of Melissa Gold (Songbird and Screaming Mimi) and Dinah Laurel Lance (Black Canary)

Personality

Melissa learned very early in her life that showing her emotions was a weakness, something that could be exploited. Her father consistently trained her to never show vulnerability and as such, she learned to use humour as a facade. Consequently, she never appears to take anything seriously and is often sarcastic. She does not like to talk about herself and will deflect with humour whenever she’s asked anything personal.

Obviously, she does feel emotions she’s just not very good at expressing them or asking for help and on the occasions when she can’t hide her feelings she usually displays them as anger. But considering she was ‘raised’ by a ruthless criminal intent on turning her into a weapon, she’s actually not as screwed up as you’d expect. Perhaps the biggest impact this childhood had was on her outlook on things, she’s incredibly cynical for someone her age.

She is also more likely to use underhanded/criminal methods to get the job done. She wouldn’t kill anyone but she has no issue with using her contacts in the criminal world to get information. Sometimes her methods do come close to the line, such as beating a suspect for information or using someone as bait, but she never crosses it.

Bio:

Melissa’s life has never been a simple or easy one. From the moment she was born it seemed she was destined to face strife. She never knew her mother and was told by her father, that she was a one night stand he had had. He only discovered Melissa after her mother appeared demanding money. Her father was a career criminal and did not take kindly to having anyone demand anything from him and turned his back on them. However, a few weeks later he found Melissa abandoned outside his home. Neither he nor Melissa ever saw her mother again.

Her father, Eli Gold, initially did not intend on raising Melissa but after a few weeks, he’d changed his mind and decided to raise her as his own. However, Eli was not in any way a normal parent and Melissa’s childhood was spent basically learning how to be a criminal. From practically the moment she could walk he had her begin training under various of his associates learning multiple martial arts, gymnastics and more. Determined to mould her in his image he did not allow her to do anything that didn’t further her education.

Her playtimes consisted of learning how to clean and maintain weaponry, how to analyse and investigate scenarios and most importantly learning to control her powers. By the time she was 12 she was a black belt in multiple martial arts and capable of planning criminal operations and analysing information. Her life was changed dramatically however when her father and his team were caught and imprisoned. Having been trained and emotionally manipulated by her father for her entire life Melissa went on the run. But although she was very skilled for a 12-year-old she was still only a child and she was found.

She was put into the foster system and things could have gone much worse but Melissa was lucky. She was fostered, and then adopted, by Larry Lance (a police officer) and his wife Mimi. Given her unusual upbringing, the couple recognised that they couldn’t just raise her as a normal child. Larry was friends with the hero Green Arrow and asked the archer for his assistance, he agreed to train Melissa building on the skills she’d learned. Gradually with the help of Green Arrow, Roy, and Larry, Melissa began to be more of her own person and she decided she wanted to be a hero.

She spent the rest of her childhood and teenage years learning not only skills she would need to fight crime but also about things Eli had never bothered to teach her such as history, pop culture and more. When she was 18 Melissa began to join Speedy and Green Arrow on their crimefighting endeavours and it was during one of these that she came face to face with her father. Eli had escaped from prison and was hell-bent on getting her back and seeking revenge on those who had taken her and corrupted her.

However, Melissa refused to leave with him and fought against him. Unfortunately during this battle, Melissa’s emotions about her father boiled over and she lost control of her powers. Her sonic scream killed her father and deafened one of his team (Discord)
Melissa was devastated at what she had done and when she discovered she couldn’t use her powers, believed it to be a good thing. But she’d only overtaxed them and after a few weeks, she was fully restored. Frightened by her loss of control she was determined to never use her abilities again but The Fixer changed that. He had always had a soft spot for her and even though they were on opposite sides of the law he had always kept an eye on her.

In a discreet manner, he arranged for her to receive a gift that he had been holding onto for the last year. Something he had made for her father but now thought she should have. Initially reluctant, Melissa eventually took and used the gift (the power augmenting harness) which allowed her to control her abilities to a much stronger degree. In the two years since her father’s death, she has continued to work with Green Arrow and Speedy to fight crime.

Hawkeye, unbeknownst to her, was the one who sponsored her for the Tony Start Initiative as he has been keeping a discreet eye on her over the last couple of years after seeing her potential during and after her rescue from Baron Zemo’s clutches.

[Birdboy]

oops

[Birdboy]

Name: Chie Jordan
Hero Name: Shuriken
Known Alias':
Age: 18

Powers:

• Peak human physicality: Training in martial arts since the moment she could stand, playing varsity sports and working out with her brother has made Chie an incredibly strong woman. She isn't super human by any regard but she can take much more of a beating than your average person, can run miles in minutes flat and can lift like a body builder. Compared to any enhanced person, she is relatively mundane, but against the average goon and gangster she far excels.
• Inhuman accuracy/sight: Chie, like her mother before her, has eyes like a hawk. She can see in the dark fairly well, and can see farther than most people. This aids in her ability to hit things from far away accurately. With any gun, crossbow, or thrown item she can hit a 6 inch target from as far as 200 feet away. This isn't even adding the addition of scopes.

Equipment:

• Throwing stars: Her namesake, weapons she got in a weapon store in Gotham to replicate her mother's old weapon. Hers are more streamline and generic, being 4-prong shurikens.
• Extendable staff: Much like robin's own, a metallic staff that extends and collapses for convenience. It's not particularly sturdy, as it is hollow but it's hard enough to pack a wallop.
• Taser: For more intense situations or when trying to incompacitate someone, a hand held market-strength taser is at her disposal. Since it's loud, she often tries not to resort to this item. It was given to her by her mother, as a means of protection on the streets of gotham.

Skills:

• Acrobatics and parkour: Chie has long since learned to traverse the sprawling cityscape in it's entirely. Be it scaling walls, jumping building to building, riding rails, and all things in between. This applies to her fighting skills as well, capable of doing flips, splits, and all in-between.
• Martial arts: Years if training, sparring and real life experience has turned Chie into a surprisingly dangerous teenager. She is capable of fighting hand to hand, with a variety of melee or throwing weapons, and has adopted a mixed style of Karate, kick boxing, wrestling and street techniques she has leaved over time. Chie's skills rival a professional fighter, because as a super hero; she is one!
• Stealth and lockpicking: Picked up from her more rambunctious side of life, Chie is skilled in avoiding people's notice. Her mother taught her how to walk and jump silently, as well as how to quiet her breathing. Experience has taught her where to hide and how to trail some one inconspicuously. Chie learned to lock pick on her own and while not a master, the skill comes in handy.
• Expert driver: Chie can drive motorcycles at high speeds expertly. It goes without mentioning this includes weaving around obstacles and doing dangerous jumps and other stunts. Her skills rival any dare devil or drag racer.

Appearance:

Chie working hard

Chie hardly working

A short and stout woman, Chie has broad shoulders and an athletic build. Her hair is long, about to her shoulders, and jet black. Her skin is fair and her eyes are a dark brown.

Known Associates:

• Mother

  Kyoko Jordan, an ex-member of S.H.E.I.L.D. is now a woman enjoying her early retirement. A mother of two, Kyoko sometimes has to derive her attention amongst her family but Kyoko is Chie's rolemodel and in many way's her Mentor. They are good friends and the teen angst expected between them is seemingly non-existent as they both respect and enjoy one another for who they are. Kyoko can sometimes be a bit overbearing though, pressuring her child and expecting greatness from her. She will always accept her daughter no matter her abilities, but she knows Chie is capable of a lot.
• Father

  Doug Jordan, father of two, Husband of Kyoko and proud attorney is the lawkeeper in the house. He keeps strict rules in the house and is an orderly person. He loves his family, even though they often break his rules or cause him stress. He is a patient person, but her shows his disapproval at almost anything. A tall and scary looking man, he is secretly a sweet heart.
  
• Brother

  Derrick Jordan is Chie's older brother, soul confidant and is currently studying at a university on the other side of the country in California. Derrick is a laid-back stoner and is considered the black sheep of the family. He constantly encourages Chie's more rebellious, free spirit and can be a jerk at times. Still, he would drop everything for his family.
• the girl squad

  Chie's best friends at her high school make up her normal squad she hangs out with when she gets a chance. Laura is the tallest and graduated early. She works as a barista at a local coffee shops and is often trying to get Chie to join her in escapades. A sort of rival in swimming and track is heather, the tanned girl with short hair. She's prone to teasing and though the most mature of the group she tends to be condescending when she's helping others. The last, but certainly not least is the energetic sweetheart that is Chandra. Chie's first friend in Gotham and her closest friend, the two are like peas in a pod. Lately, though, because of chie's role a shuriken, they have started to distance themselves.
  
• Nathaniel

  Niel and Chie met after Chie was nearly killed in a drug bust gone arye. They've begun a hesitant alliance, helping one another to deal with the crime in Gotham. Chie both admires and loathes Niel, seeing him as the 'real deal' vigilante, but also feeling underestimated. They both clearly keep secret from one another and have no intentions of revealing them. She is aware of his darker moments and hopes to keep him from doing anything he regrets.

Known Adversaries:

• Silvermane: SIlvermane is a dangerous crimelord because of his cybernetic enhancements. Capable of hacking computers, super human abilities and loads of gadgets, these two have crossed paths a few times as Silvermane prefers to deal with trouble makers personally. Both encounters Chie has narrowly escaped with her life. Now that she has help, though, she might have more of a chance against him. Silvermane is much less quiet about his actions than her other adversaries and while his gang is easy to catch, the fear of dealing with Silvermane himself is enough to make Chie give a second thought to busting any of his operations. Silvermane mostly deals in high tech items, trading or selling to collectors or other villainous figures of all sorts. This includes, but is not limited to, Lex Luther.
• Eagle Claw: A mysterious member of the league of assassins who seems to have a vendetta for the shuriken persona. Eagle claw alludes that he knows Chie's alter ego and has a grudge with her mother. He is accompanied by the people he's trained and works with anyone who wants Shuriken dead. Eagle Claw is Chie's uncle, who was the archrival of her mother in her hayday.
• Kingpin: These two have not yet had any direct encounters, as Kingpin is not grounded in Gotham. His criminal empire spans much of the new england and great lakes area, and so while she is a mild inconvenience to him, Kingpin is by far Chie's biggest villain she has her eyes set on. She is frequently dealing with his goons and sooner or later he's going to take a dangerous interest in this pesky girl putting a stop to his plans. Kingpin has one of the largest criminal empires in the states and so most crime leaders have affiliations with him in one way or another.

Bio: Kyoko, Chie's mother, was once an agent of S.H.E.I.L.D. and went on many missions through the eighties. When Loki and his army attacked, however, Kyoko was wounded and in critical condition by a frost giant. She recovered, but the event left Kyoko unable to fight. S.H.E.I.L.D. awarded her a purple heart and Kyoko was forced into an early retirement. She met a man and settled down in toronto where they raised two kids. As her kids grew up, Kyoko taught them the same martial arts she had learned throughout her life, as her kids seems to idolize her for being a hero.

Chie spent most of her childhood in Toronto as a relatively normal girl. She was sporty and close with her family, a good student and had plenty of friends. When her brother moved out, her father took a new job in Arkham city and the family moved. Chie resented her new home and her mother, fearful of having a beautiful young girl living on the streets of Gotham, Kyoko doubled down on Chie's training. Chie had a few encounters with local thugs and was surprised that her mother had taught her to capably handle them. Emboldened and angry at new living conditions, she took to the streets to save others who couldn't protect themselves like she could.

Overtime Chie's vigilante work expanded beyond beating up muggers and thugs and she started actively fighting the organized crime in the city. She adopted her mother's old persona as she owed her for teaching her everything she knows. Now, after meeting Nathaniel, Chie is hoping to advance her heroic life!

Canon Basis:

Bio:

Not much is known about Alexis's early years besides that she grew up in an orphanage and then ended up on the streets. As a kid she was lonely, always being picked upon by the older kids. It all ended when her powers manifested. Initially she could make only one clone of herself which she referred to as her imaginary friend. At the age of 11, her other ability appeared when she was assaulted by 2 older boys. Alexis got so angry and felt so helpless, that she just burst. The kids and the orphanage got wiped out in an instant.

The incident at the orphanage attracted the interest of Kingpin. Upon discovering that the only survivor was Alexis, he provided her a home and a place to train her abilities in exchange for her obedience which Alexis was more than happy to provide. The next few years went in a blur as Alexis learned how to use her abilities better and was shown the life of crime. Bombings of those who didn't pay protection money from the Kingpin became common place and eventually Spider-Man got involved. They have fought against each other a few times but just before Spider-Man would be able to catch her, she'd manage to find a way to escape.

Eventually it all ended when Alexis was almost 16 years old. After many years of fighting for him, Alexis's wanderlust took over. She wanted to go out, she wanted to see the world instead of being trapped in a city. The Kingpin refused to allow her to leave as she became useful for him. A fight followed and Alexis was gone. Knowing full well that she cannot do much against the Kingpin she managed to escape narrowly.

Just after her birthday, Alexis, after a few close encounters with the Kingpin's assassins, found her way into Slade's employment. Her reputation preceeded her and she got a job with him straight away. It was just a small matter for her identity to be wiped and Alexis to disappear from all legal records.

A few months after she started working for Slade, Alexis finally met Ravager. Her first love and first true betrayal. They met on a mission where they fought against Jinx and Robin who were the closest to the scene. Their plans were thwarted but Ravager and Alexis clicked off right then and there. They started spending more and more time together and started to be seen as a power-couple in the underworld.

Soon after her 18th birthday, Alexis and Ravager found their way into one of Slade's artifact vaults where they were supposed to take on item out and bring it over to Slade. By mistake, Alexis cut herself and a drop of her blood flew on a pair of knives. Unbeknownst to her the knives were magic and got activated by Alexis's blood. Her eyes turned red, a symbol of the curse she now was under. Ravager was livid when she saw what happened. Slade soon found out about what Alexis did from Ravager and Ravager was sent to kill her.

Alexis was defeated and left to bleed out on an alleyway. Luck had it that Jinx found her and called an ambulance. Heartbroken and hurt as she was Alexis didn't put up a fight. A year later, after long discussions with Jinx and the other Titans, Alexis was given a chance. Turn hero and redeem herself or spend a long time in prison to pay for her past crimes.

@TheRedWatcher Interesting layout to the backstory. Really professional looking. Although not my personal outlook on how Joker would react, i did specify that people were to do their own thing as it's a new universe and the characters and plot look solid enough. It'll be interesting to see how he works as part of this team. Approved.

@Martian Love it. Try not to break the space time continuum. Approved.

@Virani Seems good to me, i'm sure Zemo can make an appearance at some point.

@Birdboy Ninja girl, noice. I was wondering if we'd get any Anime inspired characters, accepted.

Yus! Can't wait to kick some butt!

Canon Basis:

Combination of DC’s Arthur Light and Marvel’s Gordon.

Bio:

Not much is known about Alexis's early years besides that she grew up in an orphanage and then ended up on the streets. As a kid she was lonely, always being picked upon by the older kids. It all ended when her powers manifested. Initially she could teleport only a few meters at a time and was barely able to create small illusions that were imperfect. It all ended when her teleportation energy destroyed a big part of the orphanage when it got out of control.

The incident at the orphanage attracted the interest of Kingpin. Upon discovering that the only survivor was Alexis, he provided her a home and a place to train her abilities in exchange for her obedience which Alexis was more than happy to provide. The next few years went in a blur as Alexis learned how to use her abilities better and was shown the life of crime. High-value break-ins and sudden maddess in those that fought against the Kingpin became commonplace and eventually Spider-Man got involved. They have fought against each other a few times but just before Spider-Man would be able to catch her, she'd manage to teleport away.

Eventually it all ended when Alexis was almost 16 years old. After many years of fighting for him, Alexis's wanderlust took over. She wanted to go out, she wanted to see the world instead of being trapped in a city. The Kingpin refused to allow her to leave as she became useful for him. A fight followed and Alexis was gone.

Her reputation preceeded her and she got a job with him straight away. It was just a small matter for her identity to be wiped and Alexis to disappear from all legal records.

A few months after she started working for Slade, Alexis felt at home again. Whatever was needed, she could get faster than most people who weren’t speedsters.

Soon after her 18th birthday, Alexis and Ravager, Slade’s daughter found themselves on opposite sides of a conflict. Alexis wished to grow in Slade’s organisation but Ravager grew to hate Alexis’s ambition and newfound attention. They fought hard and Slade, as any parent, took Ravager’s side.

Alexis was defeated and left to bleed out on an alleyway. Luck had it that Jinx found her and called an ambulance. Defeated and hurt as she was Alexis didn't put up a fight. A year later, after long discussions with Jinx and the other Titans, Alexis was given a chance. Turn hero and redeem herself or spend a long time in prison to pay for her past crimes.

@Timemaster Interesting new sheet. I'll accept it under the condition that, as a Doctor Light player, you agree not to rape anyone.

[mattmanganon]

@Bork Lazer You still interested?
