Hello helloBack from the awful haitus. Sorry for just vanishing one day, but life literally slapped me in the face. If you guys need another character/if owlet isn't dead (haven't had time to read through stuff) I'm totally up for rejoining. If not, well, it's good to see you guys still trucking along. (:

Owlet is still alive and kicking, and we'd be happy to have you back Liriia! As for a quick rundown of what's happened

1. The team take down a super villain named Cinderblock while being observed by a recently unveiled national cyborg police force. Fenrir and Hellfire leave the battle to track down a lead on Granny, their nemesis.
2. Fenrir and Hellfire stumble into a trap set by Granny and her allies the League of Shadows. Fenrir goes berserker while Hellfire is poisoned. Hellfire activates his team distress beacon, and Orbit comes running to the rescue.
3. The cyborg police force attack seasoned Leaguers and major cities across America, all in a bid to consolidate power for their leader Clara Kendall, the current president of the USA and former Tomorrow Woman. Orbit gets Hellfire back to the base and a newly discovered alive Plastic Man attempts to help her save Hellfire.

That's about the jist of it. Imma gonna get a post up in the next twenty-four hours so we can get back into the thick of it.

Hey guys, so you might've seen that I have written up my next few posts, which can be found at the bottom of the pad. The jist is Batman and crew arrive and hand out the battle plans, whereupon I've left space for the players to question Bats. In my next post I'll have bats answer the questions then give the players time to prepare for the battle, get in some last minute, pre-battle, character interaction, that kinda thing. Then my final post will be shipping team one to Star PD and starting the fight, while simultaneously transporting team 2 to the White-house to start their action. The revised Team lists are on line 25 of the pad and under this paragraph. Once I get the first post on the Guild I'll give you all a couple days from then to write responses if you wish, then a couple days from then get the second post in, and so on and so forth. Hope everyone is happy with this set-up, if not please let me know. Cheers, Sam.

Tried to strike an equal balance for active players and inactive players while still making it realistic as to who would be going on each mission
Sam

So team 1, to take on the cyborg army directly in Star City and provide a distraction for team 1 is -
BlackSam - Fenrir
GG - Hellfire
Liriia - Owlet
Exodus - Frostbite
Rumiko - Shadowdancer
QT - Brick

And team 2 led by the Flash, tasked with taking on Clara Kendall directly (covertly) will be -
The Kid Lantern - Ditto
Endrance - Shock
MistressDizzy - Orbit
DrewVonAwesome - Plastic Man
Riurik - Fate
Fearless - Captain Marvel
Lord Wraith - Thrillseeker (To be injured and removed from the team)

Both Batman and Cyborg have been injured and will remain at the base, Bats as mission control and Cyborg to fight Kendall on the virtual plane.

---

I'm also considering opening the game up to a couple new players, in story reason being that the team realizes the severity of the situation and puts out a red alert, calling for all available heroes to help out. RL reason being it looks like we've lost a few peeps and might benefit from an injection of new blood. What do people think? Yay, Nay, sacrilege? Let me know.

Okie doke pal, any suggestions on what I should do to explain her sudden MIA-ness or do I just act like I never disappeared? 0;

[Omega Man]

Tried posting a few times the last few days and had server problems. Kept in contact with Endrance by text though. Rule #11 in the IC stated what Sam already knew, so yeah he's in charge for awhile. I'll try and edit the opening post of the OOC with GM Notes and editing the player list again and do what I can while I'm on hiatus. About the only thing I'd have done differently would've been to send the Star City team to save inmates of Iron Heights [which houses several metahuman criminals from the Flash's rogues gallery as well as Green Arrow's and random villains from around the DCU] and keep them from being executed.

I'm gonna miss you guys! I just gotta shuffle some priorities around, try to work out marital issues, and set some new life goals. If things begin shaping back up sooner than later I'll try and squeeze a post in with Ditto or check in on the titanpad and see if I can work him into a collab somewhere. You guys can use him as an unlimited human resource just don't allude to any of them being the original Ditto, though I've given Endrance permission to go forward with what we had planned for Shock and Ditto2.

You don't really need to post at the moment, it just means as Liriia pointed out that you have no questions lol

[DrewVonAwesome]

One other little detail that needs to be made clear too, not a big one, but Plas never really died, his been out traveling the world with the original Plastic Man and his son after supposedly being dead. Ditto was the only one who knew Plas was still alive and was taking care of his things while he was gone.

[An Outsider]

That sneaky Plastic-Man!

[Mistress Dizzy]

Yeah...

Orbit is still furious with him. She won't be speaking to him civilly for a while.

[An Outsider]

Orbit knows how to speak civil?

[XxFellsingxX]

Hey there, everyone. I've just come from the interest check that BlackSam3091 put up and I've been accepted into this roleplay, so, err... hi XD

Here's my character sheet:

Kendra Martin (A.K.A. Cassandra)

Name:
Kendra Martin

Alias:
Cassandra (though she used to go by the alias 'Foresight')

Age:
18

Sponsor:
Wonder Woman

Personality:
Kendra is a very delicate person, though she tries her best to hide it. When in the company of others, particularly strangers, she is cold, aloof, and distant. She'll never trust a person she's just met, and will tend to keep information to herself unless absolutely necessary. Information is power, after all, and with her particular abilities, Kendra likes to keep up an act that she has more information than everyone else room, and is therefore in the position of power. She will belittle others, speaking her thoughts in situations of danger and commanding that others listen to what she has to say. After all, SHE'S the one who sees the future. She can be rude, insulting, insensitive, and will even use her cruel cunning in order to make others see her way. She does this partly because she's very proud and doesn't want to admit she's wrong, but also because, beneath her ice cold exterior, Kendra feels extremely vulnerable. She is almost completely controlled by her fears and wants to gain control over the world around her. That's why she became a hero, after all: she wants to help others so that, in the end, she can ultimately help herself. However, this constant struggle just tends to make her more agitated with herself and everyone around her. Secretly, she's very lonely and really wants to get close to others, but is afraid of relying on other people. And, considering the fact she's had to recently rely a lot on the help of the Justice League and Wonder Woman, she's become even more bitter and agitated over the past year, and her cold persona has taken hold of her life even more.

Powers:
Kendra has the power of foresight, though her visions are not completely reliable or concrete. She can access these visions voluntarily by meditation, usually accompanied by incenses. She can even control what she sees by thinking of a certain person, place or event that she knows is going to happen. These visions can vary from extremely vivid to brief and unhelpful, and, as the future isn't written in stone, it can be changed based on the decisions people make or plan to make.

She also occasionally has involuntary visions sometimes when she's awake, but these are only related to her personal future, usually some form of danger and always only a few milliseconds before the danger hits, giving her little time to react.

Weaknesses:
Kendra has no other powers besides her foresight, and therefore is physically weaker than most heroes, usually having to rely on her wits during a bad situation. Prior to her time with Wonder Woman, she had no combat training, and though Wonder Woman has taught her how to fight, even giving her a spear, Kendra will always struggle in battle.

Aside from her physical weaknesses, Kendra will also have difficulty getting on with others (as seen in her personality section), may have trouble working in a team, and, in some situations, if the danger she is fighting against appears to be too powerful, may suffer from a minor panic attack that she temporarily unable in a fight.

Appearance:
Kendra is very short. About 5'4", to be exact. She's also quite scrawny, though she has gained a little muscle from her time training at Paradise Isle. She has blonde hair that is so long she could practically sit on it, though she often has it tied up in a plait. Her skin is pale, though she has gain some sun from her time with the amazons, and her face has a light sprinkling freckles. She has narrow hazel eyes that always seem to be set into a glare, a tiny snub of a nose, slightly crooked teeth with a prominent gap between her front two teeth.

In battle, she wears silver armour similar to what the amazons wear, but also wears a green long-sleeved vest and green leggings underneath it as she feels the armour to be too revealing (not to mention impractical). She also sometimes wears her old Foresight costume casually, which is a green dress with a hood with an eye symbol sewn into the front and thick black leggings. She also always wears a silver locket around her neck which has a picture inside, though she rarely shows it to anyone, often keeping it concealed beneath her clothes.

Brief Bio:
Kendra was not born with her powers. In fact, up until the age of 14, she lived a fairly normal albeit lonely life. She was an only child and her parents both worked full-time jobs, often meaning they would not be back before Kendra came home from school. Being shy and socially awkward as a child, she had very few friends. However, she did have one friend, a very close friend: Juliet Silverman. Kendra and Juliet were as close as two people could be. "Like sisters," Juliet often said, though, as Kendra got older (around age 13) and began to hit puberty, she started to wonder if it was more than that, if her feelings for Juliet extended beyond friendship, if she... loved Juliet.

Unfortunately, things took a turn for the worse when the supervillain and terrorist Snafu (my character and, no, he will not be popping up in this RP) entered the picture, when he blew up the local police station. Juliet's father was a policeman and Juliet had been there visiting her father when the station was attacked. Juliet's father and a couple of other police man somehow manage to escape with minimal injury, but, alas, Juliet did not. Kendra was devastated. Her best friend, her only real friend, had been killed. For the next few months of so, she locked herself up in her room, not going to school or talking to anyone. Her parents, who were never good at dealing with their daughter, decided to leave her alone, believing she would get better in time. However, what they didn't know was that ever since Juliet's death, Kendra had started to become obsessed with occult and spiritualism. She began researching on necromancy and demonology, hoping to find some way to bring her friend back. After much searching, she finally found something, stories about a demon known as Mammon, the demon of greed who would grant a human's greatest desire, albeit for a price. Kendra didn't care about any 'price', she was too young to understand about consequences and too possessed by her grief.

So she summoned the demon Mammon and asked for him to bring her friend back. However, Mammon confessed that, despite his powers, he could not revive the dead, yet he did say that he would gladly grant any other request Kendra desired. Kendra was upset... "If only I could see the future," she said. "I could have prevented it... I could have saved her." She didn't mean that as a request, but Mammon decided to interpret it as such. "As you wish," he said, and with a click of his fingers, he was gone, though Kendra begged him to return.

It was only a couple of days later that Kendra's powers began to make themselves known, first showing when she managed to save a little girl from getting run over by a speeding car. A few days past, each day passing with Kendra's powers resurfacing and allowing her to help other people. She couldn't control them and wasn't sure what to do with them, but she was grateful for them nonetheless. They gave her a purpose, a reason to keep going even though Juliet wasn't there anymore. She couldn't save Juliet, but she could save others. Of course, everything comes with a price, and Kendra soon got a second visit from Mammon a month later. He told her the powers he gave her was a taster and if she wanted, she could keep them for the rest of life... she agreed that, once she was at the age of 20, she would come to the underworld with him and become his bride. Kendra was a little frightened, and yet, she didn't want to give up her powers. So she agreed. "See you in six years," he said with a grin, and vanished again.

For the next year, she used her powers to save others, fighting crime as the vigilante Foresight, at the time NOT sponsored by the League, which meant she was not trusted or liked in the public eye. She particularly made it a personal matter to deal with the villain Snafu, using her powers to catch him and lock him away for good. But her last battle with Snafu was a close call, and she decided that it was too dangerous for her to continue, so she instead settled on sending anonymous tips to the police and letting them deal with it. It was only at the age of 17 did she start to worry about her deal with Mammon and began to regret it, knowing she only had three more years before he would come to collect. She tried to summon him in an attempt to call off the deal, but no matter how many times she tried, the demon would not appear. It seemed there was nothing she could do... at least, not by herself. It was then she decided to contact the Justice League and asked them to help. They were unsure of what to do at first, until they decided that the best course of action was to send her to Wonder Woman, who was now ruling over the Paradise Isles with the other Amazons, believing that only could Wonder Woman protect but also teach Kendra to protect herself.

Kendra has now lived at Paradise Isles for about a year, training under Wonder Woman, as well acting as a soothsayer for the queen. Back home, her parents do not know where she has gone and she been written off as a 'missing person'. Kendra feels this is for best. She doubts her parents will believe her anyhow. Kendra has also discarded her old identity of Foresight and changed her alias to 'Cassandra', after the Greek soothsayer. In fact, Kendra seems to have adopted the name Cassandra as though it were her real name, asking Wonder Woman and the other Amazons to refer to her as 'Cassandra', and prefers that to 'Kendra', as she feels that that life is behind her now. Still, she keeps a reminder of her past: a small picture of her old friend Juliet, which she keeps in a silver locket that Juliet gave her for her 13th birthday, so many years ago.

Of course, there's trouble going down in Star City, and Kendra has known about it for a long time. She's tried to ignore it, but the visions keep coming. Wonder Woman is considering sending her student to the Young Justice, hoping the girl may be of some use. Only time will tell if that's the case.

I'm looking forward to roleplaying with all of you. :3
