Teen Titans: Sidekicks Unite

Nightwing

Richard “Dick” Grayson

Age: 17
Birthday: May 17th
Height: 5’11”
Body Type: Athletic
Eyes: Green
Hair: Dark Brown
Pronouns: He/Him/His
Orientation: Heterosexual

Voice

Jesse McCartney

Musical Theme

Personality

Dick is usually reserved and quiet when suited-up, except when he needs to be intimidating to an opponent in battle. In civilian life, however, he is quite charming and sharp-witted, and enjoys goofing around with his best friend, Wally West. The two have gotten into a fair amount of mischief whenever hanging out in Wayne Manor, much to the ire of the resident butler, Alfred. He was a popular student when he attended Gotham Academy, before graduating early.

Powers & Abilities

Dick has no powers to speak of, instead relying on his wit, peak athletic form, and a series of tech enhancements. His suit is made of a special material combining kevlar with several layers of a fireproof and shockproof synthetic nanoweave fibermesh. His utility belt holds a number of useful gadgets, the compartments having been enchanted by Zatara to extend into larger extradimensional spaces, not unlike a Bag of Holding. He also makes use of nanotech contact lenses over his eyes to allow nightvision, infrared, an augmented reality heads-up display, etc. This also gives him a wireless connection to his motorcycle, the Bat Computer, and the Watchtower.

Talents & Skills

Dick is a skilled mixed martial artist, having been trained by both Bruce and Alfred in multiple forms and styles. He has also delved heavily into acrobatics, dancing, meditation, and yoga, honing his body to the absolute peak of human ability.

His mind has been conditioned as well, developing an impressive memory and intellect. He has learned to speak, read, and write nearly a dozen languages, and excelled far beyond his peers in his studies of mathematics, science, and technology. He once got in trouble for hacking into the Gotham Academy Headmaster’s computer and replacing his wallpaper with a My Little Pony image, which Wally West had dared him to do during a visit.

Biography

From a young age, Dick and his family performed various trapeze acts as the Flying Graysons with Haly’s Circus. But when the boy was nine, the owners of the circus began to clash with crime boss Tony Zucco, which led to the gangster sending his goons to kill most of Haly’s staff. Dick suffered multiple gunshot wounds, and awoke days later in the hospital to the horrible news that he was the only survivor of his family.

Bruce Wayne, who was a close friend of both Jack Haly and the Graysons, had been helping the circus stay afloat financially, which is what drew Zucco’s attention and the subsequent extortion plot. Feeling responsible for the situation, Bruce took Dick as his ward and set up a trust fund for him.

For some time, the boy became obsessed with revenge, which led to Bruce revealing his identity as Batman and training Dick to control his anger and become Robin. Together, they brought Zucco down and delivered enough evidence to the authorities to send the crime boss to prison on a life sentence.

As Dick grew into his teenage years, he excelled in his role as a crimefighter and detective, as well as in his personal life, achieving perfect grades in all his classes and graduating from Gotham Academy at only sixteen years old. He was offered scholarships to several prestigious universities, but elected to take a few gap years to focus on his duties as a hero before going off to college.

Now seventeen, Dick has passed on the Robin mantle to Jason Todd and taken up a new alias - Nightwing. He is preparing for the Justice League celebration, unaware just how much will change that night…

Scarlet Beacon

Conner Kent

Age: 16
Birthday: July 31st
Height: 6’3”
Body Type: Muscular
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Black
Pronouns: He/Him/His
Orientation: Heterosexual

Voice

Nolan North

Musical Theme

Personality

Conner has a good-natured heart, but he can be quick to anger at times, particularly if he witnesses animals mistreated. He has had a bit of an anti-establishment streak, and began hanging out with the punk and emo crowd at their high school in Metropolis.

Powers & Abilities

Like his father and brother, Conner absorbs solar radiation that supercharges his physical body and allows him to fly, but unlike them, he has no vision powers. Instead, he manifests that energy as crimson hand blasts. While not nearly as strong or fast as Clark and Jon in his normal state, he can charge up a red aura around himself to greatly amplify his capabilities to varying degrees. He must use that power strategically, however, else he’ll deplete all his stored energy in a matter of minutes and be left weak and exhausted.

Talents & Skills

Conner has always struggled to keep his grades up in school, constantly getting distracted by anime, video games, and music. He has developed impressive guitar-playing prowess, however, and dreams of one day starting a successful punk rock band.

Biography

Conner had a fairly normal upbringing considering the fact that his father was Superman. His powers developed much later than his twin brother Jon, and he only recently adopted his “Scarlet Beacon” alias. They did have a scare at one point when Clark vanished for seven months while traveling to the remnants of Krypton, but he eventually returned and things went back to normal.

Kid Flash

Wallace “Wally” West

Age: 16
Birthday: May 2nd
Height: 5’9”
Body Type: Athletic
Eyes: Greenish Brown
Hair: Ginger
Pronouns: He/Him/His
Orientation: Heterosexual

Voice

Jason Spisak

Musical Theme

Personality

Wally is charming and charismatic, always trying to insert humor wherever he can. He can be a bit cocky at times, and is always smiling, cracking jokes, or flirting with girls. He loves to party, and constantly finds himself in the middle of various shenanigans.

Powers & Abilities

Like his Uncle Barry, Wally is connected to the Speed Force and has all the capabilities of a speedster, including enhanced dexterity, molecule vibrating, and a yellow lightning trail.

Talents & Skills

Like his best friend Dick, Wally has an affinity for science and technology, and dreams of one day working for S.T.A.R. Labs.

Biography

Wally used to be a normal human, but when he was twelve, he was kidnapped by Eobard Thawne and forcibly exposed to a particle accelerator explosion to give him super speed. Thawne hoped to brainwash the boy into helping him kill the Flash, but he managed to escape. His Uncle Barry then helped him learn to control his new powers, and he became Kid Flash.

On a number of occasions, Flash and Batman worked together, allowing Wally to become close friends with Dick as the two sidekicks hung out. Now seventeen, he too is preparing for the Justice League celebration and hyping himself up for all the girls he might meet there…

Biography

Teen Titans: Sidekicks Unite

Working on my character sheets now, if no one claims Roy Harper then I might bring him in as a non-Titans character. Like, he helps with the initial team-up at the beginning, but then his issues with Oliver Queen come to a head after the event, he abandons his Speedy persona, tells the Titans they are just the Junior Justice League and storms off. He then delves into drugs and alcohol, and becomes a rogue vigilante for a while going by the alias Arsenal. He'll join forces with the Titans during major story events, but otherwise he'll be fighting solo for some time until I decide what his fate will be.

@Martian, I know you had mentioned an interest in him, did you plan to bring him on as a third character at some point?

Avatars of the Cosmic Crystal

Oh, and as for Void Demons and other Quantum Shards not part of our main group of characters, we could say only Avatars who were deemed worthy at the moment of bonding by their Shards were granted access to Celestia. In the case of our "bad guy" characters, they may have been worthy at the moment of bonding, but corrupted their Shards after the fact. Those who bonded with a Shard and were immediately deemed unworthy are the ones who first turned into Void Demons, and thus they never came to Celestia. And in some timelines, there are Shards which never found a host and are just waiting to be collected by the Avatars.

Avatars of the Cosmic Crystal

<Snipped quote by CaptainManbeard>

Probably something fantasy themed, but nothing concrete as of yet. I was just curious to know what the scope of the timelines was. How crazy you could get with it, etc.

@Havoccultist

That works. We could say that all the timelines from which the Avatars originate may be at different points along their own flow of time, but the moment they bond with a Quantum Shard, their timeline syncs up with Celestia, which is why they all get teleported there at exactly the same time. So, it would be like one timeline has an Avatar bonding with a Shard in 1951 Earth, while in another timeline, a different Avatar didn't bond with a Shard until 1981. But they both arrive at Celestia at exactly the same time, and from that moment forward, both those timelines are locked with Celestia so that time flows evenly between them, meaning in the two timelines referenced, they will always be 30 years apart even though both are considered "present time" to their respective Avatars. Almost like multiple save files for a game at different points in time but all of them are now running simultaneously.

If you are doing a fantasy-themed world, it could be somewhere in the ancient past, the distant future, or anywhere in between. It only becomes synced with Celestia when your character bonds with the Quantum Shard and is teleported there. Though if you go with temporal powers, perhaps you can rewind time like in Prince of Persia or the Eye of Agamotto, but all Shard-bearers would rewind with you. You mentioned precognition, so that could be the subconscious mind of your future self sending back fragments of memories through the Quantum Shard, and perhaps that's how you begin to realize uniting the Crystal goes against your values. Like, you receive visions of people screaming out as their timelines are erased in the future or something. Now whether those are legitimate visions or doctored manifestations created by some nefarious entity remains to be seen XD.

Avatars of the Cosmic Crystal

<Snipped quote by CaptainManbeard>

I think I'll play a pure antagonist in this RP, as I'm not sure I have it in me to play both sides of the conflict at the moment. At least not to the degree of making two completely fleshed out versions of the same character. Maybe my character's alternate self could serve as a MacGuffin for a subplot or two before they get axed or something if we really want to include them. Another question I had though concerned the setting. Does it have to be Earth or a version of it? Or, given that it's a multiverse now, could our characters technically come from anywhere provided it's not a fandom/pre-existing fictional setting?

@Havoccultist

Yeah, or if we ever get to a point in the plot where your antagonist character is defeated or killed, you could then bring in a good version of that character from a different timeline who then inherits their Quantum Shard or something.

As to your other question, it's totally fine to come from places other than Earth or Earths that are radically different. For instance, there could be timelines where humans or humanoid life developed on other planets, and timelines where non-human humanoids developed on Earth. There could be Earths similar to the movie Bright, where elves, orcs, fairies, etc exist in modern society.

What did you have in mind?
