So I think we're just waiting on Crimson and Damo to post. Do you guys want me to leave it open for more back and forth or should I start the action in my next post?

I did put a little more work into Kid Flash's banner though. That one has a top layer with the words unedited and then a bottom layer with a wind effect to create the notion of movement.
Might sound silly, but where are you all getting thiese awesome looking banners? Hoping to get a concept or two up today.
I can't speak for anyone else, but I make mine in GIMP. I installed a bunch of custom fonts, typed out the names, added a drop shadow effect, and that's about it LOL. I don't remember the names of all the fonts, but Nightwing's name banner uses the Cyberpunk 2077 title font XD.
Once we get past the first Arc, I'll probably design the first version of Titans Tower in Sims 4 or something so we'll have a pretty good idea where everything is.
So the bodies they'll inhabit are made from their own DNA correct? How much leeway would there be in terms of changing? Is it entirely species based (orc, elf etc.) or is there some room for what they would want? Like if someone wanted to be taller as a very basic example.
I think I could have an interesting character point if there's wiggle room.
Well, the idea was taking the DNA of the deceased fantasy races and then growing new bodies from that, but having them use the soul's memory of their original body from Earth as a basis for the overall structure. So, since the main characters all started off as human, the human-like races would look more like them. It would be kind of like a human actor playing an elf in a fantasy movie. The overall facial structure and body form is similar, but they may appear a bit more slender and have pointed ears instead of rounded ears.
For an example, if Huge Weaving was among our characters and his new body had the blood of an elf, he may end up looking like Elrond.
Or if the actors from D&D: Honor Among Thieves were among our characters, they may end up looking like their characters in the movie.
That being said, since the new bodies are sort of sculpted from their own memories of their past physical bodies, I'm fine with that process being effected by their internal views of how they wish their bodies to be. For instance, if someone was heavily overweight in their old body but viewed themselves as the thin person they used to be, their new body could end up super fit and athletic. Or like in the case you mentioned, if someone wanted to be taller, their new form can reflect that. None of their original body's DNA exists in the new world, however. The new bodies are sort of grown from the DNA of the fantasy races the old wizard collected but the souls' memories of their past bodies are used as a visual guide for how to sculpt the new bodies' physical characteristics.
Hopefully that wasn't too confusing, lol.
I was thinking about adding Starfire. But I don’t know if I can mentally handle two characters at the moment. ☺️
You can always bring her in later if you'd rather stick with one for now. We could weave her arrival on Earth into the story during a future mission or something. Also, I was thinking about the best way to word things in the edited version of my post, and I think the best way is to just say Batman was walking around the Hall rounding up various sidekicks and gathered them at the Security Office, that way any new characters who join aren't required to have been at the same spot as our other characters. That will keep it vague enough and leave it open for any new characters we get over the course of the the first story arc. That also allows us to have some unnamed NPC teens to sort of bolster Junior Squad, but they'll just be there for background flair and won't actually continue on to join the official Teen Titans group at the end of the first arc.
Also, a new player had expressed interest over in the Interest Check and is considering bringing in either Killer Frost, Stargirl, Aquagirl, or Argent, or possible two of them. Does anyone else want to bring in extra characters before we get too far? I can edit my last post to just say more young heroes joined them instead of naming specific heroes, and can change Batman's dialogue so that instead of referencing ten members of Junior Squad, he'll just avoid saying an exact number. That way it leaves it open for anyone else who wants to say their characters were with the group when they were pulled aside by Batman.
Since Nightwings CS references Zatara, I’m considering adding Zatanna…
Go for it! XD
