[OOC] Titans Together!

[SugarRush]

She's not a Nazi, her "captors" were Nazis. Besides her German ethnicity, I didn't want to give her any real ties to the Nazi party besides just to use them for an origin story. Apologies if it made anyone uncomfortable. And you haven't read a single actual Deathstroke comic if you think he's just in it for the money lol. His family was killed and his only daughter hates him, he had this entire backstory... Gets me mad when people think they know his character.

EDIT: And if it's really that big of a deal than let me know and I'll change it. Didn't think it would but whatever.

[Xenonia]

Name: John Roberts Junior
Alias: Kazoo
Age:12
Personality: He's a very annoying young boy with a loud mouth and no filter. Rude and obnoxious.
Powers: Music-Based Mind Control (Anyone in hearing range of his music falls under his spell.)
Weakness: The only instrument he knows (And thus, the only instrument he can control minds with) is the kazoo.
Appearance: He doesn't have a costume. He's a ginger with bright red hair, lots of freckles, and a gap in his teeth. His "costume" is just a jumpsuit with the letter K spraypainted in the middle of it.
Bio: Born the son of J.R. Sr., J.R. Jr. had a very easy life. Living on a farm with his dad, playing with his pet dog, abusing stray lizards... It was a life of luxury. A luxurious life. One day, however, he came home from (skipping) school to see his father being taken away in a police cruiser. As it turned out, their farm had been a drug front since Junior was a young boy, which explained why the barn was full of hydroponics equipment. Now destitute and in foster-care, Junior found his only relief from semi-abusive (read: strict) foster-parents was the kazoo that his father had bought him to shut him up when he was five. He poured his heart and soul into that kazoo, and in the end it repaid him the favor: He had been granted the powers of mind control, using his music. Running away from home with the kazoo, Junior made a number of poor choices. Fortunately, before he had irreversably ruined his life, he found religion.
Arc Ideas: His father being released from jail
The kazoo breaks, I guess?
Other: Titans 5ever

Oh, she's not a Nazi, she was just a German in Nazi-ruled Germany who was kidnapped by Nazi scientists, for Nazi experimentation, and then brainwashed (by nazis) to serve the interests of the Reichstag.

Hey, you remember when he took money to guard Dr. Light, a known rapist, from the Justice League? Or that time he killed all his daughter's friends just to make her angry! His daughter hates him for being... a professional asshole who kills people for money. Truly a noble figure. A tragic backstory doesn't make a character noble. And Deathstroke deserves each of those tragedies.

And for god's sake, the fact she's a Nazi isn't offensive or a big deal. Nazis in comics are a proud tradition, just look at Red Skull and Spy Smasher. The problem I have is that you're playing the cliche of Nazi superscience straight instead of having Dr. Von Murderschmidt experimenting on her to try to create the Ubermensch so he can get more Nazi Gold and brag about it at the office party.

@Xenonia

Yay another annoying character!Bolt and him shall be great friends lol

[The Patriarch]

Can Bolt release Gretchen from her cyrotube?

[Zobozun]

So what time is it IC, approximately speaking?

@clanjos

Hahahaha kidding. Fair enough; you're right. Deathstroke's cons definitely outweigh his pros but different writers can always display a character differently than they originally supposed to be if you know what I mean. I'll probably scratch her then unless something comes up and apply with a different character later.

@Xenonia

Not sure if serious cs or joke.

Sorry to say such a thing, but this cs is of rather low quality compared to some other people's cs's on this rp. One example is a one-sentence personality.

Also, mind control of any kind is very looked-down upon, and tends to be.... well, yeah. I used to have a character in which I had a load of powers and one of the only weaknesses is that he had to have a wind instrument in order to fully utilize his abilities. Sad to say he didn't make the cut when I left his previous rp site for rpg.

Anyway, it's up to Krab to see how this will be met.

[VitaVitaAR]

Have to say I am very opposed to Mind Control in an RP.

In any case I'll try and post soon.

[SugarRush]

Mind-control is always tricky because it's very OP and controversial. Trying to use it on other characters usually ends up with arguing and stuff... So yeah, I wouldn't exactly recommend that as a power. I did find "J.R. Jr." pretty funny though.

[KriticalKrab]

She's not a Nazi, her "captors" were Nazis. Besides her German ethnicity, I didn't want to give her any real ties to the Nazi party besides just to use them for an origin story.

@SugarRush

Well earlier I was referring to the power set, If i remember correctly Deathstroke has similar powers; but so does almost every hero ever for that matter. I didn't know that he has deeper reasons for being a merc, thanks for sharing.

@Xenonia

I'm confident that's a joke app, which is pretty flattering, I never thought that would happen.

I'm going to have to deny this. For one, your only weakness is if your mind control device breaks, and that's if you don't control them before they can break it.

[Edit]

So what time is it IC, approximately speaking?

@Zobozun

It's night out so I'd say around 9pm.

[philp123]

@KriticalKrab
Uhhhm no, i just wanted to make sure for the post i was writing, Thanks.

[twave]

nnnnoooo.... Deathstroke is a professional asshole. He's an awful, remorseless person who kills people for money. Captain Boomerang II and Overdrive are less terrible characters, since at least they have a few redeeming qualities. Aside from that, it reads like a genderswapped evil Captain America. If you're dead set on using a Nazi, it's hard to take it serious if you play it straight in this day and age.

In summary...

@clanjos

Captain America 2: Winter Soldier

[Master Crim]

@KriticalKrab
I don't see her as Deathstroke's daughter, though that is for sure her picture, rather I see her as a Winter Soldier mimic. The only difference is it is Nazis rather than Hydra, and she's is a young girl. Other than that she is essentially the same.

[SugarRush]

Basically.

[The Patriarch]

@SugarRush so can Bolt be the one to release Gretchen?

[SugarRush]

Gretchen died in 1945 and isn't coming back.

[Xenonia]

Sorry. Not exactly a joke pp, more "testing the waters". Gauging the mood so to speak. Also the mind control thing is more like the Music Meister than anything.

@Xenonia

So what's the mood?

[Xenonia]

A bit more on the serious side than some other Titans RPs. Which isn't a bad thing. Probably would have been worried if that particular character got in.
