Teen Titans: Sidekicks Unite

I’m in.

Would you be ok with Jon being Conner’s twin? Or would they be redundant together?

@Crimson Flame

Sure! Though let's make them fraternal twins instead of identical so that we can still choose different faceclaims. My plan was to make Conner 16 to start and was thinking like July 31st for his birthday, does that work okay for you?

As for Dick and Wally, I'll probably make them both 17.

I think I shared this in a previous thread, but it may help people get in the mood to play superheroes XD.

Teen Titans: Sidekicks Unite

This RP is inspired both by the OG Teen Titans and Young Justice cartoons, but sits in its own custom universe. A quick rundown:

Millennia ago, Krypton was a member of the Republic of United Systems, which had a pact with the Guardians of the Universe of Oa and the Lantern Corps. But then they went to war with the Apokk Imperium led by Lord Imperator Uxas (my version of Apokolips and Darkseid). Apokkian scientists created Kryptonite to weaken the Kryptonians and used a device called a Quantum Decay Cannon to trigger rapid aging of their star, Rao, causing it to expand to the red giant phase in a matter of days before ultimately exploding. They repeated this on other stars, the Republic eventually copied the technology, and soon most of galactic civilization was left a massive graveyard of shattered worlds. Some survivors banded together in smaller groups and organizations, but nothing that came close to the scale of the Old Republic, as it came to be called.

Far away from all of that, the planet Mars managed to stay out of the conflict due to their impressive cloaking technology, which made their world appear dead and lifeless to all outsiders. Their close neighbor Earth harbored detectable life, but at that point in its history it had yet to develop advanced technology and thus was no threat to the warring factions. However, it had become home to several spacepods that had been sent from Krypton just prior to it exploding, the inhabits locked in cryogenic sleep.

After thousands of years, the pods had gradually been claimed by the Earth, but after a massive earthquake hit the state of Kansas, one of the pods floated up through a crack in the bottom of a lake just outside the town of Smallville. This held the infant Kal-El, still in cryogenic stasis after all those millennia. He was found by Jonathan and Martha Kent, who raised him as their son.

Fast forward decades later, and Clark operates as the hero Superman. He is married to Lois Lane and they have a son together named Conner Kent. Yes, I am using Conner as their son instead of Clark's cousin/clone. If anyone wants to play Kara, feel free to have her be Conner's twin sister or something. I mentioned the backstory of that galactic conflict because it will become an important part of the plot as we go and I wanted to set the stage for that.

Conner will be one of my main characters, as well as Dick Grayson/Robin and Wally West/Kid Flash. At the beginning of the RP, the "sidekicks" are attending the Justice League's Tenth Anniversary Celebration at the Hall of Justice in Washington, D.C. It has been ten years since the League first formed to fight an alien invasion by the Reach (one of the surviving civilizations from the Apokkian Wars), and tonight they are celebrating that union with a gala of sorts. Members of the Press, celebrities, politicians, etc. are all in attendance, while millions others watch on their personal devices via livestream.

For the first few posts, our characters will be suited-up and providing security for the event while mingling with each other and guests, but then everything changes when there is a mass prison break at Belle Reve and most of the League has to rush to clean up the mess, leaving the sidekicks to watch over the celebration. And then, to make matters worse, a different set of villains attack the party while the League is gone, which Batman suspected might happen and warned the sidekicks to be on alert.

So, we'll start there, have a few chill posts at the event, and then set the combat in motion and allow the plot to unfold as we go. Feel free to ask any questions and discuss what characters you'd like to play. Though, I should note that I don't want anyone to be too overpowered, so don't go like full-on comic book levels with your powersets. Our characters are teenagers and not as experienced as the older heroes, and the writing should reflect that.

Anyway, I'll leave it there and look forward to seeing what everyone comes up with.

Power Rangers: Scarab Squad

Do you guys think I should recreate this with a much shorter intro post? To get it moving, I could just scrap the entire backstory and instead our characters are hanging out together at the beach and a container washes up on shore holding the Scarabs. And we can take it slow and wait until we're a few posts in before the bonding happens and then take it from there. I'll probably change the Dark Ranger character around to be a teen like them if we do that.

Power Rangers: Scarab Squad

If everyone would post... it would be nothin' but a good time XD.

Teen Ghostbusters

I'm booked up or might've joined, but just wanted to say, cool idea, man.
We used to watch these movies a lot and they're still a good time - the new one was good too which can't be said about a lot of remakes.
I remember nothing of the cartoon except that I'm sure my bro and I did watch it; played a video game or two, as well.

@Master EffeX

Thanks dude!

Also, I think I'm just gonna repurpose Trevor Spengler. He is Egon's grandson in the movie, but I'll just rework him as Egon's son instead and say Egon didn't have kids until much later in life. Also, since Janine kind of had a crush on Egon in the movies and cartoon, I'm gonna have her be Trevor's mother. In this RP's continuity, they started dating in the 80s, she was kind of a hippie, and totally loved all his paranormal talk. They traveled and went on adventures and stuff for over 20 years before finally settling down and having Trevor. Now with a child to care for, Janine began to get annoyed at Egon's continued obsession with the paranormal, and also feeling like he had strung her along all these years with talk of some great paranormal event that never came to pass.

Eventually things devolved into a shouting match when Trevor was seven years old where Janine basically said, "None of this was ever real, was it? It was all just BULLSHIT to manipulate me so I'd indulge in your fantasies! I put my life on hold for you! For twenty fucking years! Now we are married, own a home, trying to raise a child... And you're still out there chasing non-existent ghosts... You... You need help, Egon. I... I can't do this anymore... I want a divorce, and I want you to stay away from Trevor and I... I don't want you poisoning his mind with these delusions like you did mine..."

I'll be using Finn as the faceclaim as well, here's a video of him fixing up the Ecto-1:



And them chasing Muncher:

Teen Ghostbusters

And here's a few clips of them first starting out, for anyone who hasn't seen the old 1984 movie:




And their return in the newest movie:

Teen Ghostbusters

I have seen the original cartoon back in the early 90's, as well the nineties extreme ghostbusters, which was surprisingly good and not extreme in the wrong ways.

@Duthguy

There was even older ones, plus the original movie, then the second cartoon XD.

Once Upon A Time/Kingdom Hearts

*kicks down the door* KINGDOM HEARTS!? COUNT ME IN!

Three questions, though:

1. Can we use OCs in this? I'm not exactly good with controlling canons.

2. Can I use a custom CS for this? I think being confused about the standard CS you usually use is probably the reason why I didn't stay long in your other RPs, to be honest. :')

3. Will we get keyblades/equivalent to keyblades after getting shipwrecked/later on in the RP, or will we get/have custom/canon weapons instead? I'm okay with either; I'm just wondering.

@Dragonfly 9

1. Sure!

2. I mainly use a standard CS so that everyone is on the same page, but feel free to PM me the CS you want to use and I can convert it to a blank one for everyone else to use as well. I do want us to all have the same CS layout so that all characters are equal in terms of which information is displayed. I always felt it looked kind of sloppy in RPs when everyone is using a different CS style and they don't have the same types of information listed on each.

3. Feel free to have a Keyblade as your weapon from the start. My version of Zack will be using a gunblade issued to him by the Chief of Security at first, but eventually he will get a batter weapon.

Teen Ghostbusters

The idea for this RP takes place in a custom universe with an original story where a group of teens in New York City begin hunting various paranormal threats. My character will be the son of a custom version of Egon Spengler, who became obsessed with the paranormal and was eventually kicked out by his wife. She refused to let my character have any further contact with his father because she thought he was crazy and getting worse, and he lived the next ten years without him. Now, at age seventeen, my character discovers his father has died in an apparent car crash while frantically driving upstate, and had lived just a few miles away all this time, in an old firehouse in Manhattan. He goes there with his mother to clean the place out so it can be sold and discovers a hidden lab in the basement.

From here, my character sees his father's research and the schematics and prototypes for various paranormal-related equipment. He becomes fascinated by them, and brings his friends (your characters) the next day after school to check out the lab. They end up getting dragged into the mystery of why Egon was in such a hurry to get upstate, what his destination was, and why he spent all these years trying to prepare for some kind of upcoming supernatural event. Eventually, apparitions begin appearing with increasing frequency, just as Egon's journals said they would, and the teens decide to use Egon's tech to become "Ghostbusters."

One way that this RP will deviate from normal Ghostbusters is that once our characters have been exposed to the paranormal energies of the ghosts long enough, they begin to develop supernatural powers themselves. Feel free to throw some ideas around for how you want shape your individual abilities. My character will be able to condense paranormal vapors into a glowing neon green ectoplasm and use it in various liquid and solid forms, sort of like a fusion of waterbending and earthbending. Visually, his abilities would look like green slime whips, green water waves, green crystal spikes and chunks, etc. As he grows and learns, eventually he'll be able to manifest gas and plasma forms instead of just liquid and solid, as well as more complex structures.

Please share your ideas XD.

Once Upon A Time/Kingdom Hearts

While the outside of the Gold Saucer Express looks like a gold and white version of Balamb Garden, I'm envisioning the central interior looking like the Gold Saucer from FFXIV:
