"In recent events, the Teen Titans disbanded this morning from what appears to be an action of 'letting go of the past.' Former Boy Wonder, now Nightwing, stated that it was "time to move on." With the superpower group gone, who will defend Jump City from the many dangerous threats that plagued us before?"

Following these events, the Teen Titans reassembled to work out a plan to defend Jump City from the evil that haunted it every day. In a search, they looked for new members to take their spot, ones who were younger and fresher in order to take their mantle. In a double effort to increase the cities protection, the former members stayed behind to mentor the new generation of super hero teens. Now, with the team assembled, Jump Cities new legacy of heroes can begin, but what lies in it's destiny?

~Rules~
1. I'm the GM, what I say is law. However, if you feel like you have done nothing wrong or feel like you have a right to say something, feel free to tell me. I'm open to suggestions and discussion.
2. You may play as canon characters, but note that most of the canon characters from Teen Titans are either dead or are older. I.E. Robin is Nightwing now.
3. Remember, you're not a powerhouse. Everyone has a weakness to something, that's why we have a group, to help each other.
4. Romance is quite allowed, but anything over-the-top is going to your PM's, no exceptions.
5. Arguments will not be tolerated in the OOC. Take it to your PM's, but if it's something that affects the Rp, we sit down and talk like ladies and gentlemen, not like a bunch of kindergartners.
6. Have fun!

~Accepted Characters~

Alexander Monroe/Iris Surestrike [+]

Appearance:

Disguise:

Real Name: Alexander Monroe

Alias: Iris Surestrike, or just Iris.

Gender: Male

Age: 16

Weapons: Alexander uses several different assortments of gadgets and weaponry for his arsenal, including a grapple hook, stun-guns, etc. Not only this, but he has two katana's for his primary weapons, using the blunt end to knock out his opponents, and the cutting end to slice away at things. However, he does use his fists and feet as well, due to his learning of martial arts.

Powers/Skills: Although Alexander is a regular human being, he has a decent understanding of the use of technology. Trained by Nightwing, Alexander was taught in the ways of martial arts and acrobatics, acquiring the skills of deadly striking.

Personality: Alexander, unlike Nightwing and Batman, was never one to get frustrated over things in combat. In fact, he's in fact the one that does frustrating! He'll take any moment he can to taunt his opponent to make them lose their marbles. He's always been the one in the team to usually play pranks on his comrades, whether it be from something minor, to a giant elaborate trap. However, it doesn't take too much to send him into a rage...

Biography: Growing up in Gotham, Alexander was raised in the slums as the adopted son of a poor family. Only having one parent and two younger sisters, life was quite hard for him. He always looked up to the heroes of the world, specifically Batman, Robin, and Nightwing. Every night, he would dream of becoming a super hero that would protect the innocent lives of the city, but what he never realized was that there was someone watching him...on Christmas night, he and his entire family was kidnapped by a madman. Unfortunately, both of his sisters were killed when the Boy Wonder himself finally entered the fray, saving both Alexander and his mother...however, she was hospitalized due to the events when she fell from an explosion. With nobody to watch over him, Nightwing took him in to teach him how to survive...to become a hero like he always wanted to be. That is how he became a Teen Titan. Despite all the happiness and care-free personality that he has shown, the madman is burned into his head every night he sleeps....his laugh echoing in his head..."Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!"

Extra Info: Alexander has seen and even helped the Dark Knight himself. Though, it's usually only been some kind of small crime activity. Like Batman, Alexander also uses his disguise to incite fear in the hearts of his enemies.

Oliver Stone/Skylar/Sky [+]

Appearance:

Disguise:

Real Name: Oliver Stone

Alias: Skylar (Sky for short)

Gender: Female

Age: 15

Weapons: none

Powers/Skills: Oliver has the ability to conduit Lightning. Although this ability has it's advantages, it has it's drawbacks as well. She is unable to use electric vehicles, go into water, or even use electronics around the household. However, she has gained some neat abilities along the way of her training, including using the force of her electric currents to boost herself around the place. All-in-all, she makes a fine addition to the team.

Personality: Oliver is the quiet, submissive type. She prefers reading and staying at home than going out with friends or family. However, she fights hard and well for what she loves and believes in. Oliver isn't aware of the fine line that separates good from bad; she instead sees it as a large blurred line, and that many people fall within that blur. Most times she prefers trying to help put criminals on the right path, rather than fighting them and locking them up immediately. This is often seen as a weakness, and she is usually taken advantage of because of it.

Biography: Oliver was born in southern Ireland into a happy family. When, at a young age, her electric abilities were discovered, her father left her and her mother, claiming he could never deal with such a child. He took most of their money with him. After a few years of living in a shady part of town with an abundance of crime, she and her mother moved to the U.S., where they hoped to find a better life. Oliver spent the rest of her years looking up to the heroes that protected Jump City and other close by areas, such as Batman, Wonder Woman, and the Teen Titans. She idolized Starfire especially, admiring her ability to keep peace while fighting for a cause. She barely developed her own powers, choosing to conceal them instead; she was only ever able to use them at night or in private. When Oliver discovered that the Teen Titans were disbanding, she knew that she wanted to be the one that people looked up to as a protector, just as she had looked up to the Titans as a child. She bid farewell to her mother, promising to visit often, and was off to the Tower.

Extra Info: Oliver learned basic battling skills from a friend at school whose father taught him martial arts. This boy was Oliver's closest friend, and one of the few who knew about her powers. She continues to stay in school to keep up a secret identity-type facade, and to stay in touch with this friend. Said friend's name is Daniel.

Prince Damien Blacke I/The Corpse Prince/Prince [+]

Abigail Zwirn/Bulwark [+]

Appearance: Standing at a height of five feet and two inches tall, she is slightly shorter than most girls her age. She has a lanky appearance, with long thin legs and arms. She is fairly petite in general, though she has a fairly well-maintained layer of muscle thanks to her athletic nature. She has shaggy blonde hair that likes to curl into a mess of locks going everywhere. Her eyes are a dark blue, and she has a tan to her peach-pink skin tone thanks to spending much of her time outdoors. More often than not she wears a simple t-shirt, primarily the kind with some witty bit of humor printed on it, and shorts.

Disguise: When in disguise, she dons a fairly simple and admittedly not particularly impressive costume. Crafted herself by modifying a a sports bra, running shorts, a pair of running shoes, and a pair of gloves, as well as the addition of a hand-designed mask. The sports bra has been given sleeves, and the running shorts have been turned into tights. The shoes and gloves have been reinforced with strips of metal, both to make them more durable and to give a bit more oomph to her punches and kicks should she need them. The mask is reminiscent of the kind worn by wrestlers. It covers her head save a small opening in the back where her hair is pulled through into a ponytail, her eyes, and the lower part of her face around her mouth. The entire outfit is black, with orange vertical lines going down the sides of her arms and legs, though her mask lacks any pattern beyond being plain black.

Real Name: Abigail Zwirn

Alias: Bulwark

Gender: Female

Age: 15

Weapons: N/A

Powers/Skills: Abigail is extremely durable. What would break the bones of most people results in the barest of scratches to her. She can be, and has been, hit by a speeding truck and come out none the worse for wear. Although she can't stop it from sending her flying across the street from the impact – She weighs no more than she appears to, and has no particular ability to prevent people or objects from moving her. Her super-durability extends to some protection from things like lasers or fire, though these have a much easier time of harming her than blades or guns would if she is exposed to them for more than a brief moment. She is otherwise just as vulnerable as anyone else – Capable of suffocating, starving, bleeding to death should she be wounded badly enough, catch a particularly nasty cold, and so on.

As for skills, Abigail compliments her durability and lack of super-strength by training in grappling and basic hand-to-hand combat skills, primarily in using an opponents size and weight against them. She is more than willing to make use of strategies and techniques that would be harmful to perform if she was less durable, as well. Despite not having super-strength, she is reasonably strong for a girl her size and age thanks to how athletic she is. She is also a skilled practitioner of parkour, initially a hobby that she has since adapted to aid her in fighting crime. That said, she is far from a master grappler – or parkour practitioner – despite her talent, and has much room to improve.

Personality: Abigail is an upbeat, generally friendly person. She is confident and outgoing, to a fault. She is often careless, the result of almost never being in any real danger herself. She has learned to take great pains to not endanger others, but she often 'spaces out' when it comes to her 'own safety', much to the concern of those who are unaware of her super-durability. She dislikes those who take advantage of others, particularly those who try to use greater size or strength to get away with it. Putting those kinds of people in their place is one of her motivations for creating her alternate identity of “Bulwark”.

Biography: A resident of Jump City, Abigail has lived there her entire life. It is unknown if she always had her super-durability or not, as she was simple assumed to have been a hardy and fairly lucky child growing up. Regardless of if it came about at a certain age or was with her from birth, the tendency of people to dismiss anything odd resulted in nobody being aware of her powers. For the longest time, she herself wasn't aware of them either. She had a reputation for being a reckless child, and often questioned why people seemed overly concerned about 'dangerous' things that didn't pose any danger at all to her. It was only when she was old enough to understand the differences between herself and others, particularly when they ended up getting hurt by things she wouldn't bat an eye at, that she began to figure it out. Otherwise she was a fairly normal kid, and to everyone else still is. She was always athletic and energetic, and excelled in physical education aspects of school. She was quick to join the wrestling club, though her small size made it somewhat difficult to get people to take her seriously at first. She quickly became known as a skilled grappler, and for doing maneuvers that should have hurt her more than they hurt her opponents. Her seeming “invincibility”, of which only she was actively aware of, led to her becoming interested in parkour. The impressive, often dangerous, feats of mobility and the appeal of exploring the nooks and rooftops of the city led to her becoming just as skilled at it as she was at grappling. She has long looked up to other heroic figures, and as she discovered the extent of her powers she considered more and more becoming one herself. She finally began her heroic career as a spur of the moment event, coming across someone being assaulted during one of her parkour sessions. Since then she has taken to the identity of Bulwark, a protector of those who can't protect themselves, and has gained some small amount of local notability.

Extra Info: Unlike some, she has no personal mentor or companion who keeps her secret identity secret, and she lacks any particularly useful resources or contacts as she is an otherwise normal middle-class teenager. This may change with time, as she has just begun on the path of heroism.

Syre Danira/Rift [+]

Press Dalton/Engineer/Engie [+]

Appearance: Black hair, brown eyes, white long-sleeved shirt, black pants, black sneakers.

Personality: Doesn't accept defeat easily, easily irritated, somewhat anti-social, tinkers with whatever is in his hands.
Biography: Press came from a rich family, but preferred to do his own thing rather than help maintain the family business. He always visited the nearest junkyard and tinkered with little pieces of scrap, creating little gadgets that merely walked or made noises. Eventually he also discovered he could control his creations using his mind, and nearly broke two of his family's cars when experimenting with his newly-discovered ability. When he was 13, he was very adept at creating and controlling machines, and he eventually decided to use his power to do some good in the city, since he had always admired the Titans with their powers and realized that he had a unique ability, so he should use it. He used about a third of his life savings on parts to create a suit of armor, and spent about a month modifying and testing it until he was satisfied. He finally took it out for use in the real world and quickly realized that super hero work was not the amazing life he had imagined, but he had expected it to be hard and persevered, gradually gaining the experience he needed to become a true hero.
Extra Info: Press' suit contains a variety of gadgets, including a gps device, a substance scanner, hacking devices, and more. Press also created a robot falcon, mainly for surveillence, but also for companionship.
