Pacific Royal Collegiate & University is a roleplay set in an alternate history where an unprecedented coronal mass ejection led to a global blackout in 1967 that resulted in a fraction of the population developing extranormal abilities. This roleplay focuses on a group of these 'Hyperhumans' and their adventures at the titular school.

For the last couple of years, you have been a student enrolled in the collegiate program at Pacific Royal Collegiate & University; an exclusive institution to Hyperhumans located off the Western coast of Canada. Returning to Dundas Island to complete your final collegiate year, you're standing on the cusp of a new chapter in life. A new school year of course brings about new challenges, but also the familiar as you reunite with old friends all the while facing decisions together whether to stay at P.R.C.U. and complete a University program through the institute you've called home for the past few years, or depart into the greater world. Throughout the story, your character will be given chances to grow, develop and ultimately unravel various plots, happenings and even mysteries around the school, and its immediate partners.

Charity has been motivated her entire life to accomplish one thing and one thing only. Fame. This was a goal heavily pushed upon her by her parents and when their initial plans came to a screeching halt beneath the weight of an eighteen-wheeler, they altered course and had their daughter made into a superhero. Charity for her part, while desiring fame, primarily seeks to honour the wishes of her parents and memories of those who perished in her car accident. A go-getter who hates to fail, Cece also has a heart for humanity and loves the idea of bringing life and positivity to those who don't have it, and if that means stopping others who choose to abuse their powers, then that's what she's going to do.

While Charity's parents ultimately want their daughter famous to ride her coattails into the spotlight, Cece herself does genuinely want to help people. This is something she's communicated at numerous pageants and unbeknownst to her might be why she was granted upgrades that far exceed what she required. At the end of the day, more than anything, Charity wants to feel less like a puppet on a string and to break free from under her parent's thumb and joining Young Justice is just the first step forward. - C H A R A C T E R N O T E S C H A R A C T E R N O T E S _________________________________________________________ [+] - M I S C E L L A N E O U S ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ "All that hardware and you've still got a white girl ass." "#FirstWorldProblems am I right?"__ ► Charity's parents give funding to the Renegades in order to ensure their daughter has a continued place among them. ► As a devout Christian, Charity is currently undergoing an identity crisis given both her involvement in the world of superheroes and the complications that come with that and her own body being changed into something less than human. ► Like most influencers, Cece has an 'on personality' and one that is reserved for behind the scenes. Her 'on personality' tends to be over the top, flirtatious and portrayed as almost oblivious. Behind the scenes, her 'off personality', is a caring individual who strives to live by her personal values. This has led to her being branded a tease and flirt more than once. Despite something of a contrast between the two, neither side is any less genuine than the other. An ambivert, Cece has the ability to be both extroverted and introvert explaining the gap between the two behaviours. ► Charity suffers regularly from nightmares where she becomes fully machine and loses all humanity. She hasn't confided in anyone about these nightmares and as such is actually very hesitant, in fact almost resistant to talk about her biomechatronic enhancements in any meaningful way. That does not however stop her from marketing them on social media. ► Due to her accident, Charity is terrified to ride in most forms of transportation and tends to walk, run, skateboard, bike, rollerblade, etc just about anywhere she can. Her enhanced physiology makes this easier since she can keep pace with most downtown traffic without breaking a sweat. ► Having lost her three closest friends during the night of her accident, Cece is highly protective of those around her to the point of being self-sacrificing. It would not be uncommon for her to take a hit for another teammate, especially one of her close friends if it meant sparing them. Due to her more mechanical nature, Cece sees herself as more disposable since she's been 'rebuilt' once, she believes it can be done again. ► Cece's parents names are respectively Charles Charleston and Charlotte Charleston neé Church. As such, there was a certain expectation they would continue the naming alliteration in their daughter. In her youth, Charlotte also went by the nickname Cece before passing it onto her daughter. Some of her old friends still refer to Charlotte by that name, often causing confusion in the Charleston household if both Charity and Charlotte are present. ► Charity annually commemorates the deaths of her friends Brooke, Courtney, and Hailey. The death of Courtney especially hits hard each year as the pair had been inseparable from daycare, through high school. A quick look through Charity's social media saw Courtney regularly in most posts before her death two years ago. ► The mystery man who provided the resources to save Cece, or 'The Benefactor' as she refers to him, has never officially introduced himself to Charity. Instead, he's a shadowy figure who prefers to remain anonymous. The exact circumstances of how her father acquired such a favour is completely unknown to Cece, but she worries every day that the cost might have been far higher than either of her parents have realized. ► Charity is actually unaware of the scope of her abilities or their full potential. For example, she has never used her optical refraction blasts and has not been informed she's capable of doing so. ► Cece will speak in the colour #FCE8B1 -

C H A R A C T E R S Y N O P S I S C H A R A C T E R S Y N O P S I S ________________________________________________________________________________________ Charity Chastity Charleston, or 'Cece' as most of her friends call her, was born to be a star. At least, that's what her parents had told her. From as young as she could remember, the Californian girl had been enrolled in beauty pageants, talent contests and any other auditions her parents could find to get her face out there. Dance lessons, singing lessons, acting courses, her parents ensured she had it all. The goal of fame was all-consuming in Cece's life. In the little time that Cece wasn't auditioning or performing, she was involved with numerous extracurriculars including cheerleading, gymnastics and track and field. She sung on her church's youth worship team, taught Sunday school and volunteered at several establishments in her community. Then the accident happened. Receiving a car for her sixteenth birthday, Cece and her friends went out for a joy ride as soon as they could. Their adventure lasted late into the night. Tired from a long day behind the wheel, Cece was unable to react in time when a large transport took a bend too wide, cutting into her lane on a particularly narrow road. The accident cost her friends their lives but Cece survived, albeit only just and clinging to her life. The damage to her body was extensive, and they were forced to amputate three of her limbs all the while telling her parents that there was very little chance that Cece would ever walk again. However, the course of Cece's life was dramatically altered when her father called in a favour. Moved from the hospital into a high-tech facility, Cece was literally rebuilt. Fitted with numerous grafts and augmentations, the doctors went to work making Cece more machine than human. The outcome left Cece fitted with three mechanical limbs, biomechatronic interfaces, a multi-alloy grafted skeleton and a nano-tech repair and defence system. Though she appeared completely normal once her new limbs were fitted with synthetic skin, Cece now possessed abilities beyond those of a human. To her parents, fame was still an option. Cece was going to be a superhero. A B I L I T I E S, L I M I T A T I O N S, & W E A K N E S S E S A B I L I T I E S, L I M I T A T I O N S, & W E A K N E S S E S ________________________________________________________________________________________ A B I L I T I E S || B I O M E C H A T R O N I C A U G M E N T A T I O N As a result of the operation to save her life, Charity has undergone a procedure that left her biomechatronically augmented. The primary and foremost objective of these augmentations was to replace her missing limbs. During the accident, Charity lost most of her left arm, along with the majority of both legs. To rectify this, she was granted specially constructed limbs which through the use of biomechatronics interface to her body seamlessly. Once covered with synthetic skin, the mechanical limbs are perfect replicas of her previous body. At least, to the naked eye. Made of a lightweight, multi-alloy and insulated with a polymer, the artificial limbs are durable and significantly increase the original speed and strength Charity had possessed. To compensate for this, the procedure also grafted the multi-alloy onto Cece's skeleton, reinforcing it and allowing for sections to be hollowed out for nano-tech and nanite storage. Using the nano-tech, Charity's nervous system is interfaced into the limbs, allowing for seamless operation. The nano-tech additionally increases the durability of her natural skin and remaining limb while repairing and maintaining her body. This, in combination with the bone grafts, allows Charity's organic portions to respond to the same degree of stress as her artificial limbs. The nano-tech additionally enhances her natural lung capacity, heart rate, and senses. The nanites work in tandem with her nervous system and brain activity relaying information faster than the average person can process it. In addition to aiding with repair and healing, the nanites can also alter the colour of Cece's eyes, hair and skin colour to provide limited camouflage or an impromptu disguise. Lastly, Charity is able to emit a defence energy blast through hardware implanted around her eyes. This allows her to call upon some of her internal energy and combust it into a concussive blast that is directed from her eyes. L I M I T A T I O N S || O R G A N I C I M P E D I M E N T The most notable limitation to Charity's enhanced state is that at the end of the day she is still human. She requires sleep, rest, relief and food. Her biomechatronics takes a toll on her at the end of the day. There's also the fact she still thinks like a human despite being capable of superhuman feats. Likewise, Charity is right-hand dominate, which is also her human arm. This means her best offence isn't instinctual to use, often putting her at a disadvantage. In terms of superheroes, Charity wasn't trained for this line of work nor is she particularly experience. Most of her feats have been based around publicity and revolve around rescuing people from environmental hazards. She has not faced off against another superhuman prior. W E A K N E S S E S || E X P L O I T A B L E H A R D W A R E While Charity's humanity might hold her back, her machine side presents new exploits that she previously didn't have. Like most machinery, Charity's biomechatronics are dependent upon electricity. Charity is required to charge herself, and electrical attacks can short, or even permanently damaged her body. Her additional upgrades have only made her more conductive meaning electricity is particularly deadly if her built-in insulation is rendered vulnerable or overwhelmed. Furthermore, Charity is susceptible to being hacked. Not necessarily hacked in the idea that her mind and body could be taken over, though this would be possible for a savant, her augmentations could also be simply disabled this way which would immediately take Charity out of the fight and leave her highly vulnerable.

Roy is an odd duck to put it lightly. To say that he stands out among the team would be something of an understatement. At times, it feels as though the aliens and Roy had switched places. Talking to Roy reminds Cece of the kind of old movies her grandfather used to adore. The over-the-top verbiage, redundant adjectives and just the meandering to get to a single point. Cece is a girl of a hundred and forty characters, talking with Roy is like hitting every red light on her way to the store. However, as with most people on the team, Cece doesn't actively dislike Roy, but she's more reluctant to spend time with him than some of the others.

_{D A N D E L I O N ^{@Dead Cruiser}}

The most recent member of the Renegades, Dandelion was rescued by the team while Cece was still in the process of moving into the penthouse. Another alien member of the team, Cece is uncharacteristically quiet around Dandelion, unsure of how to interact with the sentient alien. Like her other alien teammates, Cece has a lot of questions regarding Dandelion's relationship with the universe and how they perceive their creation. Beyond the occasional interaction, the two have yet to form any sort of meaningful relationship.

_{D O N O V A N, "Dash" J O N A T H A N ^[@Metanoia]}

One of the two 'Johnny's on the team, Jonathan, or Dash is something of an alternate universe counterpart to Cece. Both hail from Coast City, California but where Cece grew up on the right side of the tracks, Jonathan grew up on the wrong side. Both had their lives defined by a car crash, though Johnny's took his parents from him. Both were given what makes them 'super' against their will and both are blonde (Despite the accusations, Cece's is not from a bottle). Both have a degree of self-righteousness to them, though Charity would argue hers is tempered with grace where Dash seems to let his out in anger.

There's a mutual understanding between the two they probably will never see eye to eye but at least Jonathan's Scarab doesn't react poorly to Cece's augmentations the same way it does to some of the magic users on the team. In fact, the Scarab might be the only thing on the team that has a harder time with magic than Cece does.

_{H A Y E S, "Hay-Hay" H A Y D E N ^@DocTachyon}

The youngest member of the team by a notable margin, though not the youngest mentally, Hayden doesn't have a whole lot in common with Charity. This isn't helped by Charity having initially assumed their gender. Since that initial interaction though, the two have gotten along with no further mishaps. Charity is amused by Hayden's ability, although the older girl definitely feels reluctance towards the idea of Julian putting one so young in the field with them, wishing instead that the team leader would simply provide Hayden a roof over their head and a place to train until they were of a more adequate age.

_{H A Z A R D, "Hanner" H A N A ^@psych0pomp}

While Charity had always been the obedient daughter that her parents wanted, she got the impression that Hana was not and quite frankly, Cece is downright envious about how free-spirited Hana seems compared to hers. That and the bling bearing girl could fly, none of Cece's accessories made her capable of flight. Hana's brasher and more outspoken nature took some adjusting for Cece but she's learned to embrace it and knows that anytime Hana hangs out with the girls, they're bound to have some sort of adventure.

_{J A C O B S, "Vinnie" V I N C E N T ^@Roman}

Despite being the first official recruit that Julian brought on board, Vincent doesn't have that superhero thing going on. In fact, when Cece first ran into him, she thought someone had broken into the penthouse. Once she was thoroughly convinced he was no in fact a burglar, she spent some time getting to know Vincent. Though a far cry from what Charity would have expected Julian's first recruit to be, there's a certain worldly nature to Vincent that makes Charity feel like he's lived a life.

Plus his abilities are a real hit with her online community. Vincent has definitely run away from Cece more than once realizing she was tracking him down solely to put on a show for her followers.

_{L U T H O R, "Ju-Jube" J U L I A N ^@Hillan}

Like most of the Renegades, Julian was the first face that Charity met when it came to joining the team. She had gotten the young Luthor's attention after a boomerang of her lifting a car in her old cheerleader uniform managed to go viral. Admittedly, that was less about the feat and more the cheerleader uniform. Nonetheless, Julian reached out and Charity's parents arranged for a meetup eventually agreeing to sponsor the Renegades' operations in exchange for their daughter being free to post videos and photos from their missions to her social media. Once the deal had been made, Julian confided in Cece that he didn't want the girl if it was against her own will and that her parents didn't have to pay for Cece to be a part of the team. Instead, the pair opted to anonymously reroute the money into charities for struggling youth.

Due to this, Cece has come to respect Julian and willingly complies with his leadership. The pair have a fairly mutual understanding and have a strong start to a very platonic relationship. As someone, who unlike Charity herself, is very technologically savvy, Julian has taken a strong interest in the technology used to rebuild Cece. Most of it goes over Cece's head, but she's pretty sure that Julian has muttered more than once about potential upgrades for her systems to make her more versatile.

_{M O R R O W, "Flash" R E D M O N D ^@Hound55}

It was through interacting with Red while they were both still new to the Renegades that Cece quickly learned modesty was a taught behaviour. Thankfully, Red no longer forgets to dress before entering common areas. Charity is absolutely fascinated by Red's child-like demeanour in the body of a giant and enjoys introducing the younger team member to new experiences to see the joy on his face as he tastes peanut butter or jumps on a trampoline for the first time. Unfortunately for Red, this also comes with the side effect of Cece only being capable of seeing the 'perfect man' as a younger brother.

_{O'B R I E N, "Irish" C O N O R ^@Sep}

Cece has noted that Conor is extremely camera shy, often scrambling to get out of the frame of any of her live videos and avoiding being photographed at all times. After one too many attempts to get Conor in a shot, the younger male let Cece know exactly where she could go. Sheepishly knocking on his door later that day, Cece apologized and offered to hug it out, sitting down and lending an ear to Conor. Once Charity understood that Conor had been exiled when his true nature came to light, the older teen smiled brightly and promised Conor she'd never let it happen again.

Since then, Cece has gone out of her way to ensure Conor wouldn't be at risk of getting caught on camera or uploaded to her social media accounts. In fact, Cece has grown to enjoy spending time with Conor as it allows her to disconnect. Conor's library is of great interest to Cece despite her leariness to all things magic, but she purely enjoys the 'antique aesthetic.'

_{R E N A U L T, "DD" J O H N N Y ^{@rocketrobie2}}

While aliens challenge Cece's faith, a car accident changed her life. So no matter how you cut it, Cece wasn't going to be the most receptive person upon finding out that Johnny Renault (full name only) wasn't super, he was an alien NASCAR driver. From day one, Cece has sworn that she will never get in that car, Hana can carry her in a ring bubble but there was no way Cece was riding inside of an alien death trap. Issues with his vehicle aside, Cece has no strong feelings for Johnny and creates him in the same enthusiastic sing-song tone that she does everyone else on the team.

It's the car she hates.

_{R I V E R O, "Gabi-Girl" G A B R I E L L A ^@Natty}

Gabi and Cece share something of a one-sided relationship. Charity admires the younger girl for her active efforts to end the exploitation of her home, while Gabi is less than impressed at the way Cece squanders her numerous resources. Like most of the other magic users on the team, Cece is purposefully aloof about the source of Gabi's abilities, though not out of resentment or dismissal but unable to resolve at this time the source of Gabi's gifts with her own faith. This has not stopped Cece from striving to form a meaningful friendship with Gabi and being sure to include the younger girl in any activity the female team members get up to.

_{V A N H A G E N, "Kevvy" K E V I N ^@Deja}

One of the older boys on the team, Kevin doesn't make Cece feel like an older sister or a babysitter which is a nice change of pace compared to the majority of her teammates. That said, the two could not have lived more different lives, Cece was raised in sunny California and Kevin was raised in the smog-covered skies of Gotham. Upper-class and privileged, Cece led a life of relative ease where Kevin literally fought for everything he has. The two have very different viewpoints on the world and very little common ground which has generated any real closeness between them at this time, but Charity respects Kevin's viewpoint and is always sure to give him the same attention she gives anyone else on the team.

_{V A S S, "Ay-lee's Comet" E I L I D H ^[@Stormflyx]}

There's something about talking to Eilidh that Cece just finds comforting. It's like the older girl always knows exactly what Cece is thinking or feeling. After an initial fumble on Cece's part where she thought that Eilidh's name was pronounced 'Eye-Lid' in a cruel twist of fate, the pair became quick friends. The only female older than Cece on the team, Charity looks up to Eilidh and admires how the other's lack of sight enables them to view the world in a completely different perspective from the superficially driven one forced upon Cece by her parents.

It's not uncommon to find the pair in a corner of the common areas giggling about something Cece has read in a magazine to Eilidh or for the pair to spend the night in each other's quarters enjoying girl time away from the other times overwhelming testosterone of their male teammates.

_{W I N D L E, S E L E N E ^@TackyTaff}

Although Selene's mythological origins are more than a little loss on Cece, she still admires the younger girl and feels for her. The idea of having nowhere else to go is absolutely heartbreaking to Charity. Though leary of magical powers due to a more 'conservative' upbringing and her own personal faith, Cece can't help but admire the abilities that Selene has been, in Cece's own words, blessed with.

On a personal level, Cece considers Selene a friend although their relationship is only blossoming due to Cece's shorter time with the Renegades. She feels confident in Selene's presence and enjoys getting together with the other girl to chat and hang out or even sneak out of the penthouse for an impromptu shopping trip.

_{Y E L K I A N, V A R O ^@Theyra}

Varo presents an interesting challenge to Cece. As both an alien and someone who uses magic (alien magic?), Cece has trouble rationalizing their existence and often badgers them with questions about faith on their homeworld. This has resulted in Varo finding Cece exhausting to be around more than once, especially since she loves to do their little 'discussions' with a phone in front of his face because as Cece puts it, "her followers want to know!"

Under the light of a Hunter's Moon, Lincoln lost control of his curse and set upon the Midwestern town he called home at the time. Eventually, Cyborg was able to get the young man to regain control, but not before several tragedies laid in his wake. Horrified by his actions and knowing a conventional prison would never hold him, Lincoln sought repentance by learning to control his curse and working to become a hero. M I S C E L L A N E O U S ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ I'm picturing Link being the team's 'Hulk' so to speak. The berserking monster you don't really trust but appreciate having in your corner. Lincoln is the son of the wealthy Senator Conall Thrope and his wife Lycia Thrope neé Shaw. Lycia comes from old money, whereas Conall is of 'new' money, though there's a dark side to his fortune and in hushed circles, it's referred to as blood money. The Triple Goddess is the triunity of three distinct aspects, the Virgin (or maiden), Mother and Crone (alternatively Hag) and is the being responsible for cursing Lincoln with Lycanthropy. Her consort, the Horned God is also antagonistic towards Link. Much like his consort, the Horned God is triune in nature and is made up of the Warrior(or Youth), Father and Sage. Appearing either in the form of the Oak King or the Holly King, the Horned God rules aspects that drive Link's primal nature. Nature, wilderness, sexuality, hunting, and the life cycle, the Horned God represents the unity of the divine and nature, and it's only through gaining both the Horned God's favour and the forgiveness of the Triple Goddess that Lincoln can break the curse set upon him. The change into the beast under a full moon is representative of the Mother's Curse upon Lincoln for his attempt to deflower the Maiden. It is his punishment being revealed over and over again and symbolic of reminding those near him of the animal lying beneath the surface. In an effort to reduce Lincoln's triggers, Cyborg has Link currently trying a vegetarian diet and especially avoiding red meat. Additionally, Lincoln has been suggested to regularly see the Academy's student therapist. Lastly, the staff has requested that he perform daily meditation sessions in order to center and ground himself to avoid any unnecessary transformations. - P O W E R S & W E A K N E S S E S P O W E R S & W E A K N E S S E S _________________________________________________________ [+] - P O W E R S & A B I L I T I E S ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ As a sixteen-year-old, Lincoln was cursed with lycanthropy by the Triple Goddess. This resulted in unpredictable changes into a werewolf and even months lost in the woods as a giant wolf. Over the past five years, and especially in the past nine months, Lincoln has learned his triggers and how to control the wolf within. Below are the details of his curse, its benefits and its drawbacks. It should be noted that the transformations themselves are not comfortable and if forced whether by a full moon or a loss of control, can be excruciatingly painful to Lincoln which only leaves him in a more dangerous and enraged state. ◼ WOLF-MAN (STAGE I) A partial transformation, Lincoln is only capable of summoning some attributes of his curse. This includes claws, pointed teeth and ears. In this form, Lincoln is most in control, though generally it's prompted by sudden mood swings such as fear or anger, it can also be prompted by baser appetites ranging from hunger to lust. Lincoln can call upon aspects of the wolf to aid him either in battle or in mundane utilities such as checking for spoiled milk. ► Claws, Fangs ► Enhanced Senses (Hearing, Smell, Taste) ► Increased Agility, Durability, Reflexes, Speed, Stamina & Strength ◼ WEREWOLF (STAGE II) A fuller transformation, in this form Lincoln is fully embraced by his curse. The werewolf possesses strength and durability well above those of a human and while Lincoln is faster in this form than he is transformed, it still lacks in speed compared to his final form. A lightning bruiser, Link relies on his speed and strength to quickly and brutally take down foes. His durability is impressive, though easily cut through using any of his vulnerabilities. Notably, Lincoln loses the ability to communicate conventionally and is reduced to grunts, gestures and nods to convey his thoughts or opinions without the presence of a telepath. The werewolf form is more prone to sudden mood shifts due to bloodlust and Lincoln can lose himself to the beast if left transformed for periods of extended time. As such, he generally leaves patroling to other more capable heroes and instead acts as a guy in the chair for the team. ► Beserker (Anger Empowerment) ► Claws, Ears, Fangs, Fur, Tail, etc. ► Enhanced Agility, Durability, Reflexes, Speed, Stamina & Strength ► Enhanced Senses (Hearing, Smell, Taste) ► Healing Factor ► Night Vision ◼ DIREWOLF (STAGE III) The direwolf form looks more like a giant wolf than it does a werewolf and is the purest transformation that the curse provides. Lincoln fears being trapped in this form as his mind is weakest to the animal within. Though lacking thumbs and the dexterity of his other forms, the direwolf form is fastest and both large and strong enough to carry two human riders. Like the werewolf form, Lincoln lacks the ability to communicate through speech in this form and must instead rely upon the interpretation of others. ► Claws, Ears, Fangs, Fur, Tail, etc. ► Compass Sense ► Enhanced Senses (Hearing, Smell, Taste) ► Enhanced Durability, Reflexes & Strength ► Further Enhanced Agility, Speed & Stamina ► Healing Factor ► Night Vision L I M I T A T I O N S & W E A K N E S S E S ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ◼ BLOODLUST The Wolf's need for blood is as much a strength as it is a weakness. While the bloodlust makes Lincoln an impressive combatant, it's also a surefire way to lose not only control but himself to the Wolf. In the event of this, Link is as much a threat to his friends as he is to his foes. ◼ LUNAR PHASES Lunar Phases have a significant effect on Link's abilities. While a full moon can cause an uncontrollable transformation, especially under a Blood Moon or a Hunter's Moon, a New Moon can make the transformation nearly impossible to summon. ◼ SILVER Just like the legends say, Link is vulnerable to silver. It burns to the touch, easily cuts through his hide and if bound by it, prevents his transformations. ◼ TRANSFORMATION The time it takes Link to transform leaves him vulnerable, in addition to the pain of the actual transformation. If already weakened or wounded, attempting to transform or being forced to could cause him to lapse into unconsciousness or worse. If left transformed, particularly at Stage II or III for too longer, Lincoln may have trouble reverting to a human form. There is the potential for the curse to become permanent if Lincoln loses control in a sustained state of transformation. ◼ WOLFSBANE Much like silver, aconite or Wolfsbane, can be fatal to Lincoln, especially if ingested. Weapons laced with traces of aconite whether, by an oil, poison or other solution can inflict grievous wounds upon Lincoln and easily bypass his defenses. ◼ VISION While some stages of his transformations gain night vision, as a whole Link's vision does not improve and in fact in general gets worst. While it's a common myth that canines only see in black in white, this does not negate the fact that when transformed, Lincoln develops an exaggerated form of colorblindness that can make his teammates difficult to distinguish in certain settings, especially in well-lit locations or under sunlight. -

B R I E F B I O G R A P H Y B R I E F B I O G R A P H Y ________________________________________________________________________________________ Assertive ● Repentant ● Stoic Originally the spoiled son of a state senator, growing up Lincoln had want of nothing. That all changed on his sixteenth birthday when in a twist of fate, the girl he scorned turned out to be the Maiden, an aspect of the Triple Goddess. Disgusted by the vain cruel boy, the Triple Goddess cursed the boy with lycanthropy so that the world would see him for the beast he was. Though he thought he had a handle on the curse, Lincoln would go on to lose control several times until he was eventually confronted with the fact he couldn't handle it on his own. This eventually brought him under the membership of Cyborg and the Flash, finding him a place at the Titans' Academy. S A M P L E P O S T S A M P L E P O S T ________________________________________________________________________________________ "BOO-YAH!" Cyborg's triumphant cry echoed across the intersection as Lincoln nodded his appreciation toward the superhero. The sonic blast above his head had deflected the considerable piece of debris that Cinderblock had thrown his way. Cracking his neck, Lincoln jumped over the cement barricade left behind by the construction crew that had been working to repair the water main now flooding the scene of their battle. "What's the blockhead even want here?" Link growled towards Cyborg who simply shrugged from behind cover. His sonic cannon was held tight against his chest, readying another blast. Looking from Cyborg, back to the approaching concrete man, Lincoln let out an agonized cry. Even in the din of the city, the sound of his breaking bones rearranging themselves seemed to loudest noise. Though it was only moments for those watching, it felt like an eternity for Link as the pain nearly rendered him unconscious. His cry turned to a howl and suddenly Cinderblock found himself knocked backwards. Sliding along the crumbling asphalt, the statue of a man moved to defend himself as a blur of silver and black fur suddenly was atop him. Claws and fangs dug into the stony shell of a man. Cinderblock's attempts to defend himself from the creature only caused Blitzkrieg to dig in further. Another blast of the sonic cannon caught Cinderblock across the chest sending fractures through his body. A loud crack suddenly sent a stillness through the air as Blitzkrieg landed on the ground in front of his foe. Rubble littered the werewolf's feet as the remainder of the stone man's arm crumbled from his mouth. Let me guess, only a flesh wound. Link thought to himself as the wounded supervillain steadied himself for another attack. The unmistakable sound of Cybrog's weapon charging for another strike caused Blitzkrieg's ears to twitch. "I think it's time to finish this," The former Titan called, "I've got the sonic, if you've got the boom!" A howl from Blitzkrieg was all Cyborg needed as he let the shoot loose. The last thing Cinderblock saw after the blinding flash of blue hit him was Blitzkrieg's fangs descending upon him.

* A H N, K W A N G - J O Vigilant ● Amicable ● Proud A literal fish out of water, 'His Majesty' has decided to grace the academy with his attendance and Lincoln couldn't be any less thrilled. There's a lot of his old self he sees in the Dragonson, and while a Prince certainly outranks a Senator's son in terms of position, the sense of elitism and entitlement that comes from these titles are universal. Lincoln will be keeping an eye on Kwang-Jo, if only to help the Prince not repeat Link's own past mistakes, though if he was more honest with himself, Link would realize it was more out of envy than actual concern.

* H E A R T F I E L D, K E N N E D Y Headstrong ● Sarcastic ● Determined Though Link would loathe anyone to know, he has quickly developed a soft spot for Kennedy since the girl's arrival at the academy. The two of them have similar backgrounds, coming from places of privilege before having it stripped away due to circumstance. Admittedly, in Link's case, this was due to his own poor choices where Kennedy was actually trying to do the right thing. Despite this, he still sees them as kindred spirits and actively looks for opportunities to get to know her better.

* L É C U Y E R, A R I N A Indifferent ● Perceptive ● Unmotivated Often in nature, the more flamboyant and beautiful something is, the more likely it's bad for you in some way. Whether it's poisonous, venomous or just plain dangerous. Perhaps it's with this instinct in mind that Link prefers not to allow himself to become particularly infatuated with the beautiful Arina. There's no argument that she's a stunning young woman, or that she has an air of class and grace Lincoln hasn't seen since attending events with his father. But the girl clearly would rather be anywhere at the academy and reminds Link far too much of his old self. He'd be remiss to relapse into those behaviours again.

Like most students, she's relatively new to the academy, but unlike most students, she's also relatively new to the country. Link has noticed that she seems to hang around the kitchen in the evening while the desserts for the following day are being prepared. Normally he'd chalk this up to someone wanting to snag an extra treat but there's more intention behind Jiri's actions. Maybe she just hasn't learned you can watch cake videos on YouTube yet?

Under the light of a Hunter's Moon, Lincoln lost control of his curse and set upon the Midwestern town he called home at the time. Eventually, Cyborg was able to get the young man to regain control, but not before several tragedies laid in his wake. Horrified by his actions and knowing a conventional prison would never hold him, Lincoln sought repentance by learning to control his curse and working to become a hero. M I S C E L L A N E O U S ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ I'm picturing Link being the team's 'Hulk' so to speak. The berserking monster you don't really trust but appreciate having in your corner. Lincoln is the son of the wealthy Senator Conall Thrope and his wife Lycia Thrope neé Shaw. Lycia comes from old money, whereas Conall is of 'new' money, though there's a dark side to his fortune and in hushed circles, it's referred to as blood money. The Triple Goddess is the triunity of three distinct aspects, the Virgin (or maiden), Mother and Crone (alternatively Hag) and is the being responsible for cursing Lincoln with Lycanthropy. Her consort, the Horned God is also antagonistic towards Link. Much like his consort, the Horned God is triune in nature and is made up of the Warrior(or Youth), Father and Sage. Appearing either in the form of the Oak King or the Holly King, the Horned God rules aspects that drive Link's primal nature. Nature, wilderness, sexuality, hunting, and the life cycle, the Horned God represents the unity of the divine and nature, and it's only through gaining both the Horned God's favour and the forgiveness of the Triple Goddess that Lincoln can break the curse set upon him. The change into the beast under a full moon is representative of the Mother's Curse upon Lincoln for his attempt to deflower the Maiden. It is his punishment being revealed over and over again and symbolic of reminding those near him of the animal lying beneath the surface. In an effort to reduce Lincoln's triggers, Cyborg had Link previously try a vegetarian diet and especially avoid red meat. Additionally, Lincoln had been suggested to regularly see the Academy's student therapist. Lastly, the staff had requested that he perform daily meditation sessions in order to center and ground himself to avoid any unnecessary transformations. -

C H A R A C T E R S Y N O P S I S C H A R A C T E R S Y N O P S I S ________________________________________________________________________________________ Originally the spoiled son of a state senator, growing up Lincoln had want of nothing. That all changed on his sixteenth birthday when in a twist of fate, the girl he scorned turned out to be the Maiden, an aspect of the Triple Goddess. Disgusted by the vain cruel boy, the Triple Goddess cursed the boy with lycanthropy so that the world would see him for the beast he was. Though he thought he had a handle on the curse, Lincoln would go on to lose control several times until he was eventually confronted with the fact he couldn't handle it on his own. This eventually brought him under the mentorship of Cyborg and the Flash, finding him a place at the Titans' Academy. As a junior Titan, Link underwent training to one day join the ranks of heroes protecting the planet. However, this all changed when an impostor bearing a striking similarity to the Wolf framed Lincoln for murder leading to the young man become a fugitive from the law. Under the guidance of Carter Hall, the hero known as Hawkman, Lincoln sought out the team known as Young Justice for help.

Post #1.02: Pissing Contest

"Who are you?!" A man exclaimed, bursting into the kitchen, an expression plastered on his face that Link could only assume belonged to feelings of constipation. The smell of sweat was the first odour that wafted over the werewolf. It was followed by the distinct smell of eggs, bacon grease and a scent that Link could only describe as suet.

The Wolf watched the tall figure closely, its claws poking beneath Link's fingertips, aching for a proper fight as the newcomer's keen eyes quickly darted back and forth between the friendly giant and the girl with the teacup.

Telepath.

Link inwardly growled. He recognized the man's look as the newcomer exchanged glances with the woman. Considering the woman before him was clearly blind, that knowing look and sense of calm could only mean she was operating with a sense Link himself didn't have. And given the pause it had produced in the large man, Lincoln could only extrapolate that meant they were communicating non-verbally. The only piece of the puzzle that Link didn't have was which one was the telepath. It'd be easy to assume the woman; such an ability made sense to combat her visual impairment. But appearances were often deceiving, and perhaps the vanilla gorilla positioned defensively was in fact the telepath with a gym complex.

"And what do you want here?"

Faster than the more muscular man could respond, the Wolf could have its claws around his neck. One swift movement would be all it would take to remove his jugular. A familiar red haze set over Link's eyes as he fought the hackles slowly rising on the back of his neck. He wasn't used to being confronted so brazenly, let alone by someone of a larger stature. But the male positing to protect the one who introduced herself as Eilidh was still nearly a head taller than Lincoln himself. The Wolf didn't like that.

Not one bit.

"Aye, we're still the Young Justice. I'm Eilidh - this is Red... Don't get many folk 'round here these days." The woman with the teacup answered, her tone indicating she was hoping to break the brewing tension.

With the arrival of another, the entire situation changed, however. Entering the room was an opposing door Link's attention was immediately drawn to the younger woman. Noting the knife in her hand and the distinct lack of silver's signature scent, Link couldn't help but allow a small smirk to crawl to the edge of his mouth at the ineffective weapon. The woman was clearly drained, but something about her gave Link the impression that a fight would be rejuvenating. She smelled not of flowers or sweets but of blood, salt and gun powder. To the Wolf, that was practically an aphrodisiac.

"Who's this?"

Stepping back from Red, Link composed himself, steeling his expression before turning towards the woman and politely extending a courteous hand.

"Lincoln Thrope," He stated, introducing himself. "I was just telling Eilidh that a man named Carter Hall had recently directed me to this tower. I'm a member of the Titans Academy in Midway City." Link's voice trailed off for a second.

"Or rather, was." He let out a reluctant sigh before continuing. "I've been framed for murder. I have no allies left. Carter told me that 'Young Justice' would be my best bet." Link paused again, looking directly at Kali before levelling his gaze around the room towards Eilidh briefly and then squarely at Red.

"I guess what I'm trying to say is, I came to you all for help." He managed to spit out finally.

"Young Justice is my last hope."

In the late twenty-first century, Earth's resources began to reach dangerous levels of depletion. Almost every nation's efforts were channelled into finding an alternative to sustain our overpopulated planet. While some looked to create artificial or replicated resources, most efforts were focused on the unknown beyond our solar system. Numerous citizens from all walks of life volunteered for Biblical ark-like projects and were jettisoned into the cold void of space following predetermined routes that should have led to new worlds.

Most of the arks were never made contact again, but one triumphant day in 2101, Earth received a transmission. One of the Ark's had found a stable planet, a new Earth. Not only had they found one stable planet but several neighbouring solar systems that continued one if not more stable planets. The resource-rich galaxy was previously unheard of. The ark's navigation data proved that it had passed through a wormhole that had sent the vessel far further than its limited light speed engine ever could have propelled it.

Old Idea

Clear skies illuminated the rolling hills of the western plains as the wranglers broke across the horizon, driving the herd of horses towards the farm barely visible across the green. The growl of atmospheric engines filled the air as the distinct smell of the starship's exhaust filled the air, the odour covering the aroma of the long grass.

A hull covered in chipped and peeling paint was visible from the ground as the ship descended toward the port beyond the farm.

Space Western
Aliens
Synthetic Lifeforms
Limited Light Speed
Humans are outgunned in most space battles.
Earth is mostly destroyed, existing as a slum world for those who weren't able to get off. Most of civilization is flooded, floating cities exist but as power depletes they fall from the sky. Some live among the flooded ruins of the former great cities.

Mars is considered a successfully terraformed planet but was abandoned for literally greener pastures in other systems. An untamed planet, Mars has two cities, surrounded by rolling plains and small, frontier towns.

Corruption bled into the terraforming efforts. Those released from stasis first used the opportunity to hijack the system and release others in batches to make them easier to control, and more subservient. Many worlds fell into caste or feudal systems. Entire systems run by oligarchies, self-imposed monarchies and even fascist regimes.

Reptilian Race
-Reproduces by placing eggs in those deemed strong. Hatchlings eat their way out, thus 'absorbing' the strength.
-Growing old is considered a dishonour, the highest honour is being chosen to bear the young. This is also reserved for captured enemies they consider worthy.

Space Western Idea

Privateers: Collection of spacers and smugglers with a license to freely pirate for a portion of plunder from XYZ Government. Absolute scourge of the black and bane of the ABC.

The Colony Wars:

The Settled Systems:

The Black: A general term meaning space itself, although it can be also used specifically to refer to unchartered space or an unknown void.

Bird: A bird is a slang term for an agile ship or fighter.

Boat: A boat is a slang term used for large vessels or freighters.

Federation of Central Unified Systems

-The oldest government in the Settled Systems. The Federation was formed at the heart of what is the now Settled Systems, and as a result, all other systems were built out from its first successful terraform, with the exception of the Highland Monarchy.

Coalition of Allied Planets

-Planets whose independent governments have agreed to cooperate for shared goals and trade. The primary objective of these planets is to maintain independence and autonomy free of the Federation.

The Highland Monarchy of the Hymenoxys Cluster

-Located in the furthest reaches of the Settled Systems, the Highland Monarchy was founded when a Generational Ship was hijacked mid-travel. Upon arriving in the Hymenoxys Cluster, the hijackers were betrayed by their own, as a pair of siblings took control, killing the other hijackers and positing themseoves as heroes. Strategically waking the ship's inhabitants from stasis, the brothers were able to filter people in a caste-like system and ultimately elect themselves as kings over their new territory. Now three centuries later, the Monarchy still reigns over the Hymenoxys Cluthser and most of the Delta Quadrant.

Sovereign Planets:

-True sovereigns belong to planets, vessels or stations that have no alliance with a greater form of government. Many of these Sovereign Planets are the result of either failed or abandoned terraforming attempts, often leaving behind smaller settlements which are either contained in an environmental shield or require constant use of an Environmental Suit while outside of a controlled environment. These worlds are hard to live on and produce a hardy people.

-Personal laser/Energy beam weapons are expensive, prone to over heating and otherwise rare weapons.

-Ballistic Weapons are common but heavily discouraged during combat onboard ships due to numerous factors.

-Melee weapons are the most common form of a personal side arm, ranging from telescopic swords and staves to basic fixed-blade knives or axes.

-Technology is highly variable. Ship and personal survival suit technology was rapidly advanced due to its necessity, especially following the Colony Wars.

Hierarchy of Sentient and Virtual Life Forms:

-Synthetic Lifeform: A sentient, self-aware Artificial Intelligence that inhabits a physical and autonomous body. The most advanced versions of Synthetic Lifeforms are covered in a replication of the human epidermis making high-end models nearly indistinguishable from organic lifeforms. The legality around Synthetic Lifeforms various between System Governments with the Coalition recognizing both Synthetic Lifeforms and Artificial Intelligences as contributing members of society, compared to the Federation which limits the rights and privileges of these lifeforms to the point they are interchangeable with androids or robots.

-Artificial Intelligence: An artificial intelligence or 'AI', is a sentient, self-aware program that only exists incorporeally within a mainframe or other computer.

-Android: An android, or simply 'droid', is a humanoid-shaped mechanical construct programmed to respond, interact and carry out various tasks or purposes. They are programmed with limited problem-solving abilities.

-Virtual Assistant: A virtual assistant, or VA, is a program often connected to a large, or series of databanks and capable of carrying out pre-determined routines and tasks to suit its specific function. Virtual Assistants are often used in environmental suits, ship systems and even weapons in order to aid and enhance both the functionality of its installation and the user. Generally, virtual assistants are voice-activated, but some are programmed with other interface methods such as physical inputs or neural connectivity.

-Robot: An autonomous construct designed and programmed to carry out a specific purpose or task.

-Most flora and fauna are a direct result of it being transplanted from Earth, however much of it has evolved and adapted to its new homes, creating distinctive, alien species. Rarer is the native species to those planets as most were primarily uninhabited prior to humanity's arrival.

-Cowboys versus Industrialization versus 'Indians' kind of setting. The Federation versus the Coalition while the 'aliens' fight to regain territory and keep humanity from settling on more worlds. Independents left to pick up the pieces.

Trail Blazers - Elite pilots tasked with the creation and upkeep of FTL routes and lanes.

S E C R E T I N V A S I O N
~An Absolute Comics Roleplay~

P R E M I S E:
Aliens live among us. For the past ninety years, metahumans, mutants and the battles between superheroes and supervillains have dominated the lives of everyone on the planet Earth. Heroes such as the Superman from Krypton and the Manhunter from Mars have made life from other planets an accepted part of daily life. But unbeknownst to even the watchful eye of S.H.I.E.L.D., key figures on Earth have begun to disappear, only to be replaced by hostile alien imposters positioning for a Secret War between alien races. An arms race between the Skrulls and the White Martians has been brewing beneath the surface for several years now and threatens to come to a head.

All across the globe, crime has risen exponentially and many of the world's superpowers are in international turmoil as a direct causality between the warring factions. Even unaware of the foes at home, Earth is now forced to face a threat on a third front as the Reach has begun carving an aggressive path toward Earth.

More than ever, Earth needs her heroes. Who will answer the call?

Secret Invasion/Secret War

OU RP with loosely defined history. Organizations and dates, no character names.
Plot inspired by Secret Invasion, YJ Invasion and JL Pilot.

Hidden factions include the Skrulls and the Martians, possibly the Reach. People being replaced by aliens, all while the above factions fight to control Earth.

Skrulls
White Martians
The Reach
Kroloteans

Rising crime, international turmoil and other struggles a direct causality of the 'Secret War'

-WWI
-The Defenders?
-WWII
-Justice Society founded in the wake of World War II
-The SSR offers the JSA an ultimatum of join, and become government superheroes or forcible retire, resistance meant unmasking and/or jail time.

What's different about this RP versus past One Universe Games?

The biggest difference this time around is that players will have the option to indicate if they want their character to have been, or to be replaced by a member of the warring alien factions. If this offer is accepted, they will receive a private message from the GM, informing them that their offer has been accepted and any further required details can be determined at that time. This allows players to take ownership over parts of the main plot, and contribute to driving the antagonistic side of the RP. In some instances, it may even be a member of a character's rogue gallery that has been replaced rather than the primary POV themselves so that players are able to unravel the mystery of the Secret War and prevent the Invasion.

■ Fixed - Events determined by the GM that are essential to the RP.
◆ Malleable - Events that are proposed by the GM but can be modified prior to the RP starting pending Players and Characters.
▶ Player - Events determined by Player submitted sheets.

Post #1.03: I Can Smell You All Around Me

"In that case, it might be best if I start at the beginning," Link replied, rubbing the back of his head as the nerves slowly began to set in. "And yeah, Link is perfectly fine." He added in response to Eilidh's question regarding his name.

"When I was sixteen, I was a bit of a rapscallion and after an unfortunate incident with a girl found myself face to face with the vengeful wrath of the Triple Goddess. I was a privileged rich kid, I had my share of women, but I found one that didn't want me. I couldn't have that so I made her fall in love with me, showered her in affection, gifts, everything a person needed to feel wanted and safe. When the time came to 'seal the deal'," A long inhale echoed around the kitchen, as Lincoln gathered his thoughts. He hadn't ever explained this next part to anyone, not even Kennedy.

"I hid a webcam in the room that broadcast the entire event as I used a permanent marker to outline every perceived physical flaw on her naked body. In her utter humiliation, the girl became a vessel to the Virgin Aspect of the Triple Goddess. She cursed me, turned me into what I am now and ever since I've been trying to find redemption for that night. Found a way to use my curse for good, even found a home in the Titans Academy before its door closed." He began to pace, his tone becoming more urgent.

"Somewhere out there though, there's another beast like me. I saw the body, I saw the blood. The local police back in Midway had already seen me in action as a probationary Titan. They didn't want to do the legwork, they wanted to close a case. Hauled me in, said the claws fit. It was a damn kangaroo court. Even my own father, Senator Thorpe, didn't want to prove his own son innocent. Too busy appealing to his voters, too eager to hold onto his power." The Wolf growled bitterly.

Link's ear suddenly twitched as his icy blue gaze moved first toward the wall, but his eyes pivoted skyward, all the while his head remained perfectly still.

"Wait," Link paused taking a quick sniff. "There's someone-" He began before pausing just as suddenly. The Wolf's nostrils flared as the cold iris suddenly flared red.

"No, there's something in the walls." Link growled, the top of his ears suddenly began to shift into a pointed shape whilst his fingernails grew long, curling into razor-sharp points.

Post #1.04: Exit Wounds

_{Interaction(s): @spicykvnt - Eilidh Vass, @Theyra - Varo Yelkian}

The sound of the gunshot hurt almost more than the actual wound itself as the deafening noise erupted in the enclosed space, reverberating through the cursed young man's enhanced hearing. Wincing as the bullet penetrated his skin, Link felt the Wolf rear up, fighting to get out, as rage permeated every inch of his being. Wrestling the Wolf back under his control, Link turned his glowing vermilion eyes towards Kali.

"I didn't say it was another werewolf-" Link snapped through gritted teeth. Clawed fingers dug into the freshly created wound, digging around the bleeding hole before ripping out the bullet and tossing it haphazardly back toward 'Lianne's' feet. "-I said it was another beast like me."

The bullet itself hadn't been made of silver. It was a standard slug, but that didn't stop it from hurting, especially being shot mid-transformation. Looking around at this sorry lot of eclectic heroes, Lincoln had to wonder why Hawkman had directed him here of all places. They could barely help themselves, barely stay together. They were a ship without a rudder. So how then were they supposed to help him clear his name? When it had just been Eilidh and Red, Link had held out hope. But the more of these so-called 'Renegades' crawled out of the woodwork, the more apparent it became that they needed just as much, if not more help than he.

Perhaps what bothered Link most of all was how Kali's words rang true. Yes, the Triple Goddess had interceded on the girl's behalf, and in doing so had cursed Link and wiped the memories of all who had been watching. But that doesn't mean Link had necessarily changed. The monster was just visible now. When Link awoke, the equipment had all been fried, and the girl had no recollection of the tragedy she had endured. His so-called friends couldn't remember the events of that night, but they all had unanimously turned their backs on him.

The Goddess worked in mysterious ways. The girl, the girl whose name Link couldn't even remember, was free to go about living her life, protected from the trauma, from ever having anyone make her relive that night. Link on the other hand could never rise above being 'that guy', no matter how many people he helped, he'd still be a beast.

This realization made the other half of Kali's words resonant with Link. This tower was truly home to outcasts and strays, the thing was, they didn't really seem to want more. The one identified as Red had been eying him from the moment he stepped foot in this kitchen. Kali had introduced herself under an alias, a fact that would have remained unnoticed were it not for the arrival of the 'space elf'. Eilidh was the only individual here that Link had any desire to continue to interact with.

"You guys seem like you're going through a bit of a rough patch," Link stated, beginning to straighten up as the bullet wound sealed itself in front of the others' watching eyes.

"You probably didn't need me dropping a bomb into whatever is going on here. I'll find myself a hotel in the city and then ride out first thing tomorrow, I don't need to drag anyone else into my mess."

He turned to leave, walking towards the smell that had now re-materialized itself into the image of a teenage boy. As he passed, the wall dweller made a remark that Link could only scoff at.

"I thought it would have been apparent by now," Link sneered back at the mucus-based monster, "I don't have friends."

[Lord Wraith]

The service had been lovely.

At least, as far as funerals went.

The sixteen-year-old boy could only muse as he walked down the neon-lit streets of New Lilith. Still dressed in a suit beneath his father's loose-fitting jacket, it was pulled tightly around his body to ward off the chilling winds coming in over the bay. A perpetual fog hovered close to the sidewalks and buildings in the older districts, a side effect of the exhaust from the ancient steam systems used to heat the city's infrastructure. The collected water droplets swirled a variety of colours from the advertisements and sleazy signs above, greens, blues and reds all vibrant against the dark sky of the evening.

The teenager had been so preoccupied by his thoughts that he didn't realize he had taken a wrong turn, leaving behind the Wharf and accidentally stumbling into the Lower East Side instead of the Milk District that housed his dorm. While no street in New Lilith could particularly be considered safe, the Lower East Side was the worst of the worst. Pulling the jacket tighter around himself and wishing for the days when his father was still here to keep him safe, the boy turned on his heel to head back to presumed safety.

But it was already too late.

Out of the corner of his eye, the teenager saw a motorcycle swing about at the end of the street, coming around for another pass. In the near distance, the sound of several exhausts echoed through the tightly lined buildings. The whole neighbourhood knew what was about to happen as dim lights in nearby windows were completely extinguished whilst shutters were drawn close. Like vultures circling a corpse, the roar of the engine drew closer and closer. Ducking into a nearby alley, the boy tried to throw his pursuer off his trail only to be confronted by four other men, approaching from the far end of the dark passageway.

"Are you lost? You look lost." One of the men at the far end of the alley asked, his face turned upwards into a cruel sneer.

"Dressed too nice to be from around here." Said the second while reaching for a weapon tucked into his waistband. The third man at the far end of the alley only chuckled wickedly along with the comments of his two companions The fourth man had nothing to say, adding only the sound of his knuckles and neck cracking as the four drew closer.

Behind the teenager, the sound of a motorcycle engine suddenly filled the alleyway before the engine was cut short as the final member of the ambush arrived. Climbing off of the bike, his heavy boots stomped against the cobblestone below, as the distinct sound of a spring-loaded knife opening could be heard reverberating off the surrounding brick.

"Your phone, your wallet, your shoes and your jacket." The biker ordered as the other four howled like a pack of hyenas.

"Easy there Terminator." Came a gruff reply from above the alley. Looking up the teenager saw a hooded figure leap towards the ground, landing between the five men and the teenager.

"Who are you supposed to be?" The same biker called towards the figure in the hood and long coat. "There are no heroes left in New Lilith."

"That's where you're wrong." Came the response as the shrouded figure twisted his wrist. Beneath the biker, a chord suddenly went taunt, entangling his legs and carrying him into the night sky. The clang of his head against the steel of the fire escape was an unmistakable sound.

"Cute trick, hero." The loudmouth with the gun yelled from the opposite end of the alley. "It's still four on one."

"You're right," The hooded figure replied, "Those odds aren't fair." He retorted, producing an orb from his belt.

"For you."

As the orb was released from his hand, the alley was covered in a dense layer of smoke. Against the smoke was a projected image of the hero, his decoys distracting the four remaining assailants, their weapons harmlessly passing through the projected mirages.

The teenager watched in amazement as the vigilante moved through the smoke, single-handedly downing each of the remaining assailants one by one. His movements were perfectly efficient, no flourishes only what was necessary. No energy expended that wasn't needed. When the smoke cleared, the teenager was surrounded by the five unconscious bodies. Out of the corner of his eye, something else caught his attention.

A nearby wall bore a new image. An 'I' and an 'A' stylized in blue and red against the dirty brick.

IllAdvised was on the move.

-City Cameras, Little Brother Watching
-A bit of a flashier New Lilith than previous renditions, Neo-Gothic mixed with Cyberpunk
-Locke has been dealt with, Maki and Thomas have left, Sam has left. Just Chuck and Glitch.
-Non-descript car, nothing flashy. Older, but not so old as to draw attention, Honda Accord/Chevrolet Impala/Ford Taurus/Dodge Charge family. Electric/ICE Combination, dual motor. Colour Changing, Multiple License Plates, ability to completely retract plate. Built for speed, not assault.
-Ball Cap, kevlar with a plate insert, retractable mask to allow for further disguise but also blending in with crowds. Hood, trench coat, face mask/scarf. Lots of pockets and triple staff. Modified smartwatch, blue tooth earpieces, remote connection to car and Glitch. Projector on the watch, both for display and infrared keyboard on arm.

>flashback, Thomas stopping Chuck from killing Locke,the result is Locke's bullet ricocheting off of Angel and killing Locke himself.

>flashback of Chuck and Thomas arguing about Chuck's single-minded focus on taking Locke down when there were other ways to protect the city.

"You're going to get all of us killed," Thomas yelled. "You're so focused on taking down Locke that you're neglecting all the good we can do." He produced a folder from his backpack, slamming it down on the table between Chuck, Makarios and himself.

"Lauren Stills mugged and assaulted while we were staking out Locke's casino," Thomas explained pointing to the first case file. "Eduardo Cruz was shot during gang-related violence while we were tracking Locke's limo. Kyle Hitchens, his house was broken into and he was killed during a home invasion while we were watching the Mayor and Locke play golf. This obsession only leads to death."

Thomas reached into his bag and produced one more folder.

"Nathan Brock-"

The name had barely left Thomas' mouth before Chuck sucker-punched him across the face. Thomas didn't react, he took the hit while Chuck cradled his hand. The Enochian's living armour retracted from where it had appeared to defend from Chuck's attack.

"That was ill-advised," Thomas stated dryly.

"You don't get to use Gecko against me."

"His name was Nathan," Thomas snapped back, "Nathan Brock! And he shouldn't have had to pay for your mistakes with his life. Whose life will you use as penance next, are we nothing but meat shields to you and your narrow-minded crusade?" Thomas roared.

"We followed you because you had a plan, you had it all figured out. You brought the Mavericks together. But you're just as lost, just as hopeless as either of us were when we started out. But Maki and I matured while you're still a little boy dressing up in his dad's leather jacket. It's time for us all to move on and end this." Thomas dropped the backpack to the table and turned to leave.

"I quit."

>flashback to Gecko's death as a direct result of Chuck kicking the hornet's nest.

Struggling against the restraints, IllAdvised tried to break the zip ties around his wrists, watching as Tony, better known as the Behemoth towered over Gecko. Cursing himself under his breath, IllAdvised couldn't believe he had fallen for Locke's trap.

"Don't you touch him!" IllAdvised growled, "Come try me for size."

Mirthless laughter matched only by a slow dramatic clap came from the corner. Leaning on his cane as he stood, the wiry figure adjusted his top hat before stepping forward.

"Now, now, IllAdvised, we're all wise to your little trick. Tony takes a swing at you, you suddenly find yourself empowered with his strength and you save the day." A smug grin crossed the slender man's face.

"That won't be happening. No today, you will learn about consequences."

>Present

...And in breaking news this evening, City Councillor Antonio Rodriguez has been acquitted of all charges after crucial evidence was lost leading to a mistrial. Rodriguez had been brought up on three counts of assault, intention to traffic and-

The screwdriver slammed onto the hardwood table situated in front of the television. Outside the penthouse apartment's patio windows, rain streamed down the perfectly kept glass, the city beyond covered in a neon glow, further emphasized by the haze of fog from the passing storm.

Admiring his handiwork, the man flexed the device on his right arm, expanding the collapsible ballistics shield. Snapping it shut, he stood from the couch and approached a bookcase across the open living space of the apartment. Pressing his thumb against the spine of a leather-bound copy of 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep', an audible click could be heard over the television before the bookshelf swung loose from the wall. Behind the heavy shelving set was a dimly lit room, illuminated solely by a wall of nine monitors, arranged in a tight grid formation.

"Glitch," The man called out as he entered the room. "I need you to access the city's mainframe and hijack any connected street or traffic cameras. Can you run a recognization scan throughout the city for Antonio Rodriguez, please alert me to any facial matches with an accuracy of ninety percent match or greater. I want his location." The man mused, "I think it's time that Mr. Rodriquez make amends for his ill-advised decisions."

"Tonight? Are you sure, boss? Might I remind you that Charles Michaels has a date?" The voice of the female artificial intelligence radiated from within the room.

"I'll need you to cancel it and send my best regards. Send a nice bouquet and make sure we pay for dinner and her car home. Just charge it to the business account." Charles 'Chuck' Michaels replied.

Opening a nearby locker, the man pulled out its contents, beginning to undress before pulling on the outfit inside. A pair of Kevlar motorcycle pants were first before bending over to lace up the pair of composite-toed boots. A weather-resistant hooded shirt was followed by a tactical vest, both of which were layered beneath a long, full-length coat. Fastening the asymmetrical flap of the jacket across his chest, the man placed a reinforced ball cap atop his head before pulling it down to shield his face. Holstering a three-section staff to his thigh, he turned back towards the screens, tightening the straps of his armoured gloves.

"I'm sure Penelope will be disappointed. I don't have any results on Rodriguez, are you sure you want to cancel?"

"The only date I'm attending tonight is the one I have with justice."

"This is why IllAdvised should stay the strong and silent type."

"Criticism noted," Chuck replied as he poured over the monitors, watching the cameras rotating through the numerous city streets.

The purposefully non-descript sedan sat across the street, rain pelting the windshield, obscuring the figure inside. Beneath a ballcap, the man brought a small pair of binoculars up to his eyes, studying the former councillor.

[Lord Wraith]

"Hey Sam, Tiff, this is Thomas," Chuck stated, motioning towards the blonde haired sophomore beside him. The pair had been working together for several weeks in their 'extracurricular' activities but that wasn't exactly the explanation for their unlikely friendship they could give the two girls.

"He just moved here from Texas for school, so our RA had asked if I could show him around campus." It wasn't exactly a lie, Thomas had enrolled in Grimm University's pre-law program, paying his way through school holding down a job at a small autoshop.

An autoshop that also saw it's fair share of back alley deals.

Thomas had been tracking the Behemoth's getaway driver the night at the bank. It was sort of how the pair of them agreed to begin working together. Now they just had to get their mysterious third member to agree to join their softball league.

-

Chuck had never felt as honored as the day he stood beside Thomas as his 'wingman's' best man. Makarios had officiated the ceremony, and done so beautifully. Tiffany was absolutely radiant, though, and not to the surprise of either of the other Mavericks, it was Sam that Chuck wasn't able to keep his eyes off.

-

"What is that?" Makarios asked prodding another finger against Chuck's chest as he paused from tying the bowtie around the other man's neck.

"A precaution," Chuck replied dismissively raising his chin as he waited for Maki to finish the task at hand.

"Why are you wearing your field deployment armour under your tux?" Maki asked, his tone wavering between amused and irritated. "This is Thomas' wedding day."

"Exactly," replied Chuck, "It's Thomas' wedding day. Superhero weddings always get attacked." He cracked a wry smirk.

"Ten bucks says we don't make it to the cake cutting without me needing this."

Makarios rolled his eyes, gently massaging his temples.

"If you want me to take a piece of that action, at least don't be cheap about it." The taller man responded, placing the bowtie in Chuck's hands.

"One hundred, and you can tie your own damn bowtie. You can memorize an entire building layout in an hour, I've taught you how to do this on at least four separate occasions." Maki snapped as he exited the room.

"And fix your hair!"

He's able to retain skills for much longer - but needs to maintain the skills himself to keep them 'permanently'. This means that his skill-bank isn't constantly growing. He learnt jujitsu last week but he realizes that Krav Maga's better at beating up bad guys, so that's what he's going to maintain. Hyperhuman powers are a lot more fleeting. So it makes sense Chuck would rely on trickery and 'gimmicks' in scenarios where there's no powers to siphon or he needs to get close enough to fight fire with fire.

If you want Chuck to have superadvanced tech, but balling on a budget I think there's something interesting to be said about Chuck's first hero outing being him stopping someone with hyperintelligence / technopath, by doing so Chuck copied the person's powers, and during / shortly after the confrontation Chuck's already above normal intelligence allowed the power to create basic sketches, diagrams, plans, manuals, or whatever that 'human' Chuck has been deciphering. Leaving a sorta mystery for him to solve how his own brain thought when juiced up.

Tying Chuck's tech, skills or powers to some sorta memory and a sense of 'unlocking' memories links him, Thomas and Makarios together in distinct ways while all three of their powers stems from the very same thing of unlocking, deciphering and understanding something they carry within them.

"And that's the difference between knowledge," Thomas chuckled briefly looking towards the technical manuals and blueprints spread across Chuck's tool bench before placing the mallet down beside the exasperated man.

"And experience." He added, looking over the vehicle that Chuck had been slowly piecing together. "Why didn't you tell me you were building a car? I used to rebuild engines with my dad long before I took that job with Tiff's uncle through school."

Makarios was up top, moving silently like a jaguar taking out the snipers quietly, quickly and efficiently. Chuck on the other hand was entering the looking cathedral through the front doors as IllAdvised blatantly strode into the heart of Locke's operations.

"I have an Angel watching my back." IllAdvised snapped back as the stained glass window exploding, Thomas making his grand entrance and completing the Maverick trinity. A smirk turned up in the corner of IllAdvised's mouth as he drew his tonfas. Slamming them together four times, the church's sound system crackled to life as Glitch took over the system.

Twisted Sister's 'I Wanna Rock' spilled over the rows of empty pews as the pair of Mavericks moved into action.

"You're going to get all of us killed," Thomas yelled. "You're so singularly focused, that you're neglecting all the good we can do elsewhere." He produced a folder from his backpack, slamming it on the table between Chuck, Makarios and himself.

"Lauren Stills mugged and assaulted while we were staking out the lieutenants left at Locke's casino," Thomas explained pointing to the first case file. "Eduardo Cruz was shot during gang-related violence while we were tracking who was now using Locke's limo. Kyle Hitchens, his house was broken into and he was killed during a home invasion while we were watching the Mayor and Locke's last piece of ass play golf." He paused, letting out a heavy sigh.

"This obsession only leads to death," Thomas added, his tone laden with disappointment and resigned defeat before he reached into his bag and produced another folder.

"And let's not forget this one," He snarled, "Nathan Broc-"

The name had barely left Thomas' mouth before Chuck sucker-punched him across the face. Thomas didn't react, he took the hit while Chuck cradled his hand. The Enochian's living armour retracted from where it had appeared to defend from Chuck's attack.

"That was ill-advised," Thomas stated dryly.

"You don't get to use Gecko against me."

"His name was Nathan," Thomas snapped back, "Nathan Brock! And he shouldn't have had to pay for your mistakes with his life. Whose life will you use as penance next, are we nothing but meat shields to you and your narrow-minded crusade? You can't even refer to him by his name, Nathan Brock was nothing but another tool to you." He roared towards the shorter man.

"He was my friend!" Thomas' voice cracked on the word friend before the blonde young man quickly regained his composure.

"We followed you because you had a plan, you had it all figured out. You brought the Mavericks together. But you're just as lost, just as hopeless as either of us were when we started out." Thomas' tone had turned venomous.

"Maki and I matured, but you're still a little boy dressing up in his dad's leather jacket." He spat, the words hanging over the room as Chuck's gaze threatened to sear a hole through Thomas.

"It's time for us all to move on and end this." Thomas dropped the backpack to the table and turned to leave.

"I quit."

An eerie stillness seemingly fell over the city for a moment before a shiver travelled the length of IllAdvised's spine, a cold wind suddenly cutting to his very bones. From his perch atop a radio tower, the hooded Maverick continued to survey the streets below as another gust of the Northerly winds whipped the tails of his long coat into the air.

The streets felt differently than they once had. When Locke had been the reigning crimelord in New Lilith, the corruption had been evident, constantly bubbling to the surface, rearing its ugly head to provide the Mavericks with a target to attack. But now, the infection was hard to isolate.

New Lilith was still rotten at its core. But for the past year, Chuck felt he had only been attacking its symptoms and not isolating the ongoing cause of the city's infection. He had tried to branch out and recruit new vigilantes to his cause. Makarios had dubbed them 'Thrillseekers' rather than actual Mavericks, both as a point of pride in retaining a separate title but also because these new vigilantes were cut from a different cloth. Chuck, Makarios and Thomas all had a personal mission, an investment in cleaning up New Lilith. These new heroes though, were adrenaline junkies chasing a high and ultimately lacked the conviction required to make a true difference.

“You know, you could have at least checked to see if the kid was alright.”

"I had a feeling you were back in town," Chuck replied from beneath his hood and cap. Ignoring the well-meaning scold, he continued to speak. "It hasn't been the same out here each night with you. I always appreciated having someone I could trust watching my back."

Thomas and Chuck had butted heads numerous times over the years, but the night that Thomas quit was by far the worst. The pair were as thick as thieves from day one, both overly eager to take the fight to New Lilith where Makarios had taken more time to come around to the idea of joining forces. Numerous times Angel and IllAdvised had fought back to back and won against seemingly overwhelming odds. They were brothers both in and out of battle. Perhaps that was why Chuck had taken Thomas' resignation so hard.

His eyes scanned the night sky, a buried part of his heart hopping to see the familiar wings beating towards IllAdvised and Feral. But Chuck knew full well that Thomas and Tiffany had packed up and left New Lilith for the nearby rural community of Kilbride. He had settled down on a small farm, hanging the wings up and focussing on his relationship with Tiffany.

The woman that Chuck had introduced him to during their freshman year of college. Makarios had officiated the wedding while Chuck had been Thomas' best man. Thomas' absence had left more of a void in Chuck's life than he could admit, and Makarios knew it. Even nearly two years late, the former leader of the Mavericks still bore weight of a wound as fresh as the day it was inflicted.

"New Lilith has a way of pulling you back, it's a constant vacuum, a black hole," IllAdvised mused aloud, talking so that Feral could hear him, but not directly to the other Maverick.

"An abyss." He added before sliding down the tower to stand beside Feral.

"The kid was going to be just fine. He'll learn from tonight and he'll get tough. Next time he'll pay attention where he's going."
