~Teen Titans~ LET'S GO!

@nymian
Hey just letting you know that I'm not going to be around for about a week. I'm taking a short trip for the first time in forever across the province I live in to go to a friend's wedding. I'm coming back Tuesday night, so don't expect any posts until at least Wednesday.

Teen Titans: Sidekicks Unite

@CaptainManbeard
No you could go ahead and use Roy. I’ve decided to play characters I’ve never played before for this RP, so that means no Roy. Also I finished my two character sheets, however I’m unsure of where to post them, so they’re going here. Also I made Raymond play keyboard as when I saw that Conner plays guitar, I got the idea of the Teen Titans forming a band. It’s dumb, I know, but it’s just a random idea.

Musical Theme

Personality

For most of his life, Raymond was sequestered away from the world, only really interacting with his parents. This has left him a little socially awkward, as he never had peers to learn from. Still, he’s a pleasant individual, always with a smile on his face and in good spirits. He is always willing to make friends, something that is new to him. As such he can be a little over-bearing, coming off a little strong. Raymond is also a little gullible, not having experienced much trickery in his life.

Raymond is obsessed with heroes. Ever since discovering them online, Raymond has wanted to be one. Thankfully it would turn out that he had powers, and he now uses them the best he can to fight crime. But Raymond still has a fear of letting his powers getting too strong, the death of his older brother from said powers still embedded in his mind.

Powers & Abilities

Raymond’s body can naturally absorb solar energy, storing it in his body. This energy can then be used later for a wide variety of abilities by focusing his mind on what he wants to happen. Raymond can manifest his light as an aura that allows him to fly, though he is much slower than someone like Superman. Raymond can also fire pure solar energy as a beam, destroying most things in its path. Raymond also has the potential to create hard light constructs, make light illusions, or even turn himself invisible. But he has yet to master these forms of his powers, as they seem to happen randomly.

Talents & Skills

Raymond was given a pretty standard public school education by his mother, excelling in most classes she taught. However, his singular focus was computer programming. Starting as a hobby, Raymond quickly mastered basic programming. By age thirteen he had begun work on his own video games, making a name for himself in the indie game scene. He has since decided that he wants his career to be in computer programming.

Raymond’s other big hobby is music production. He has created a lot of backing tracks, though he hasn’t done much with it as he can’t sing to save his life. He also taught himself to play keyboard.

Raymond has almost no fighting skills, as he was kept safe indoors. He has received a little instruction from his father, but most of what he learned during the war had been lost over time. Still, Raymond has been interested in signing up for martial arts lessons.

Biography

Golden Age Ray Story

In the early twentieth century, the US government was attempting to better understand several aspects of the universe. One such project was RONOL (Research On the Nature Of Light), headed by the genius Dr. Dayzl. The doctor believed that it was possible for light to combine with a human, creating an all powerful light entity. When World War II broke out, the government refocused RONOL into coming up with light based weapons. To this end they would attempt to create a light entity, starting an experiment just outside the city of Vanity, Oregon.

Attempting to release a light bomb that would theoretically bond to a volunteer soldier, the experiment would go off prematurely, the bomb exploding next to a nearby hot air balloon. On board the balloon was local journalist Langford Terrill. Believing that the balloon was hit by lightning, he would wake up in a hospital. Upon being released, Langford would discover that he now possessed light based powers. Taking the name the Ray, he would follow in the steps of other superheroes and defend the city of Vanity.

However, the government would be keeping an eye on Langford, eventually nudging him to join the Justice Society of America and directly fight in the war. Langford would serve with the Justice Society for the rest of the war, being a part of the team that got enchanted as to slow down their aging. After the war the Justice Society was targeted by the House on Un-American Activities, forced to either reveal their identities or disband. The Society would choose to disband.

Now retired from heroics, Langford would resume his journalism career, get married, and have a son named Joshua. As soon as Joshua was exposed to light, his powers manifested. With no hiding it, Langford revealed to his son that he was the Ray. Joshua was excited and wanted to be a sidekick to his father, even picking out the name Spitfire. However, Joshua would die before his eleventh birthday, exploding in an overload of light as he absorbed too much energy for his young birthday.

After this tragedy, Langford would get divorced. The former hero would put all his focus into journalism, even getting a syndicated column in several national newspapers. Langford would continue to live in Vanity for several decades, his aging still slowed by the enchantment. By the 2000s, the spell had begun to weaken, as Langford finally started aging again. He would decide to retire from journalism and ended up meeting a woman named Nadine, someone closer in age to how Langford looked. After a brief whirlwind romance, the two would get married.

Modern Age Ray Story

Several years into their marriage, Langford and Nadine would get a massive shock. Despite both of their advanced age, Nadine was pregnant. It was at this time that Langford shared with his wife the story of how he was the Ray and what happened to Joshua. When their son Raymond was eventually born, the two parents decided to lie and say he was allergic to sunlight.

For a good chunk of his young life, Raymond was kept locked up in his home. The only people he associated with were his parents, being home schooled by his mother, a former middle school teacher. Things were lonely for Raymond, that was until his parents bought him a computer for his twelfth birthday. Suddenly with access to the outside world, Raymond tried to accumulate all possible knowledge that there was. He would then learn about superheroes, a topic his parents had never brought up to him. It wasn’t long before Raymond dreamed of leaving his home and becoming a superhero.

It was also during this time that Raymond made a friend online, a local girl named Jennifer Jurden. The two would chat frequently, Jennifer being Raymond’s one tie to the outside of his home. It was through his chats with Jennifer that Raymond helped understand the fact that he liked guys, another topic never brought up in the Terrill household. Things were actually going well for Raymond, that was until the Fourth Reich arrived at his doorstep.

A group of Neo-Nazi supers, the Fourth Reich had managed to find an old government list of known identities of Justice Society of America members. The Fourth Reich would split up, attacking the homes of these former heroes all at once. Raymond would be on his computer when the Neo-Nazis broke into the Terrill. The elderly Langford would attempt to fight them off, but his light powers had been weakening in recent years.

Hearing his father being hurt outside, Raymond moved without thinking, running into the light for the first time. Immediately he absorbed a massive amount of solar energy, and fired a massive blast of light, forcing the Fourth Reich back. The fight was then interrupted by the arrival of several members of the Justice League. They had learned of the Fourth Reich’s plan and had intervened, saving all the former heroes and their families.

After the Neo-Nazis were taken to prison, Raymond and Langford had a long talk. The older Terrill would admit to being the Ray and explained what happened to Joshua. While initially angry, Raymond would understand his parents reasoning. He would forgive them, with the one stipulation being that he was allowed to operate as a new Ray. Langford would begrudgingly agree.

Raymond would then start patrolling Vanity as the Ray, all the while being trained by his father. In order to better manage his powers, Raymond was limited in how long he could spend outside, so that he never absorbed too much solar energy. It was also during this time that he would meet Jennifer in person, revealing to her that he was the Ray.

It was after a few months of mixing training and heroics, that Raymond and his father were invited to attend the Justice League’s Tenth Anniversary. Wondering if that meant the Justice League was interested in him joining, Raymond practically forced his dad to agree to go with him. Langford would agree, but only if Raymond was dressed as the Ray, as he was now the one true Ray.

Steel

Natasha Irons

Age: 17
Birthday: June 19th
Height: 5’6’’
Body Type: Athletic
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Black
Pronouns: She/Her
Orientation: Homosexual

Voice

AJ Michalka

Musical Theme

Personality

Natasha is a big personality, often being loud and outspoken. This bombastic nature can either immediately endear her toward someone or definitely put them off. Natasha is voracious when it comes to learning things, always looking for something new. She can usually be seen either pouring herself fully into a study or project, or attempting new things so that she can just have the experience. Also Natasha has ADHD and thus can go on different flights of fancy. It seems like she can only focus on science projects, otherwise bouncing from idea to idea.

Natasha also feels the need to help others, even from when she was a small child. Having lost her father and brother at a young age, Natasha can tend to attach herself to others, afraid of letting go. This need to be a shield led her to become the second Steel. While appreciative of her uncle, Natasha is a little selfish in wanting to be her own person.

Powers & Abilities

While a baseline human, Natasha has built her own version of the Steel Armor. Her version is just as durable, able to shrug off punches or blasts from super powered enemies, as well as possessing super strength capabilities. The Steel armor is also coated in boosters that allow for flight. The suit also has an on board AI that Natasha calls BORIS, which can regulate suit activity and connect with outside networks. The armor also has a life support system, able to maintain the pilot’s condition for up to three days. Weapon wise, the suit is equipped with sonic emitters and plasma cannons, located in the wrists and gauntlets.

Besides the Steel Armor, Natasha always brings with her a Kinetic Hammer. The signature weapon of Steel, the Kinetic Hammer is a large hammer than can build up kinetic energy and release it in a massive swing. The hammer is also capable of flight and can return to Natasha through use of the BORIS AI. Also the hammer has electromagnetic capabilities, like magnetically attaching to Steel’s back and generating a small EMP.

Talents & Skills

Natasha is a certified genius, being at the top of several fields including electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and plain old mechanical aptitude. She can pick up on new technology concepts very fast, being able to reproduce a new piece of technology she comes across in almost no time. While Natasha is an expert in engineering, she is also no slouch in other sciences, such as AI. While Natasha didn’t create the BORIS AI, instead being made by another researcher at Steelworks, she understands enough about it to add it to her armor.

Besides delving into science, Natasha is also an accomplished athlete, believing that she had to keep her body up with her mind. She is an avid runner, cycler, and swimmer, having participated in many races. Natasha also did take several years of kick boxing, though she doesn’t really use it as Steel.

Finally, Natasha is into gardening. As a young child, Natasha participated in her neighborhood garden, finding that the simple act of gardening calmed down her brain, helping with the ADHD. To this day Natasha still maintains a garden on the balcony of her apartment.

Biography

Early life

The Irons family had been in Metropolis ever since they were freed from slavery. As such they have been a key part of Metropolis’ history. That continued into modern day when the Irons family were prominent civil rights activists. However they would be in the wrong place when a nearby gang shoot out caused stray bullets to kill the Irons. This left their two children, John Henry and Clay without a home. Ending up in the same foster home in the Suicide Slums neighborhood, the brothers would have a different outlook on life than the other.

John Henry just wanted to get out of the city, to make something of his life. To that end he forced himself to excel in school, getting scholarships to attend the nation’s best schools. Clay on the other hand embraced the Slums, becoming a drug dealer. While his big brother was away making something of his life, Clay got his girlfriend pregnant twice, leading to his kids Natasha and Ezekiel.

Upon having children, Clay tried to turn his life around. He engaged with his kids, seeing that Natasha had the same smarts of her uncle, while Ezekiel was an emotional and caring kid. However, the better times would not last as an old enemy of Clay’s, the supervillain Skyhook, kidnapped Ezekiel. Their would be a massive manhunt to located the kidnapped child, Superman even getting involved. In the end Ezekiel was found dead, with Superman arresting Skyhook.

The failure of the police and Superman to save his son caused Clay to spiral, falling into hard drugs. Natasha dealing with the pain of a dead sibling and an absent father would throw herself into her studies, joining as many extracurricular programs she could, just so she wouldn’t have to go home. Then the Reach Invasion happened, Metropolis being hit hard.

Later life

In the chaos of the battle, Clay Irons was believed killed. Left alone, Natasha would be rescued by her uncle John Henry who decided to move back to Metropolis to help rebuild. Natasha would move in with her uncle, while he joined a company called Amertek Industries. Wondering what her uncle was doing at the company, Natasha would hack into their servers and discover that John Henry was helping the US government develop weapons to fight off another potential alien invasion.

But Natasha kept her mouth shut, focusing instead on her studies. However, the true purpose of the weapons was revealed when more Kryptonian stasis pods were found. Fearing an army of Supermen, the military used the weaponry to try and capture General Zod and his commanders. When John Henry learned of this he immediately quit Amertek and went to give tech support to the Kryptonian refugees.

Following this incident, Superman and the other Kryptonians would depart the Earth to find the remnants of Krypton. However, shortly after they left, an explosion happened in deep space and Earth lost all communication with the Kryptonians. With the public believing Superman dead somewhere far off in space, super-criminals began to exploit this opportunity in Metropolis.

Wishing to honor Superman’s legacy, John Henry would build a power armor to defend Metropolis with. Dubbed the New Man of Steel, John Henry would clash with the gang lord known as the White Rabbit. It would only take a few days for Natasha to deduce that her uncle was the new hero. Wanting to help, she forced her way into the role of tech support.

The pair would work together for seven months before Superman returned. Apparently he had encountered a slaver fleet controlled by an AI, which had destroyed their communications gear. With his hero returned, John Henry and Natasha were prepared to retire, only to be approached by Superman. He was so impressed with how the two had handled protecting Metropolis, that he offered John Henry a place with the Justice League.

John Henry would immediately agree, slightly altering his name to just Steel before fully joining the League. The niece and uncle would then move to Washington D.C. to be closer to the League. Natasha would end up graduating high school early, taking a position as a Senator’s aide. But Natasha quickly became disillusioned with politics, and decided to move back to Metropolis on her own.

There she would start a small think tank called Steelworks. As a side project she would build her own set of power armor. While she would test it several times, she actually had to use it when someone kidnapped the Mayor of Metropolis. Apparently a new crime boss named Reggie Clover aka Crash had appeared and wanted to make a name for himself. Natasha would track down the kidnapped Mayor, only to discover that Crash was in fact her thought-dead father Clay.

The man had faked his death during the Reach invasion and decided to build a new name for himself. Natasha would defeat her father in combat before turning him over to the police. Deciding that she was obligated to do this, she began operating as a superhero. Her uncle, while initially against it, would give his blessing and allow for her to use the name Steel.

In the year she has been working as a hero, she’s become friends with Superman, who invited her to attend the Justice League’s tenth anniversary event. While her uncle would be there as a Justice League member, Natasha hopes to be seen as her own hero.

@mattmanganon
Thanks for letting me know. I realize that Fate doesn’t gel with everyone so it’s perfectly understandable.

@rocketrobie2 @Mistress Dizzy
I hope it doesn’t seem like I’m rushing you. I was mostly just wondering if you guys had any questions I can answer. Honestly, I realize that people have lives off the forum and as such there is no rush on finishing a character. I believe with RPs that fun should come first, and as such you can take as much time as you need.

@rocketrobie2 @Mistress Dizzy
Do you guys need any help with your character sheets?

@Abashi76 @mattmanganon @Dark Cloud @ErsatzEmpress
Wondering if you guys are still interested in this? Either way if it’s yes or no, please let me know.

Star Wars: The Fires of Hope - TTRPG using Fate Core

@rush99999
The new trouble works. You can spend refresh to gain another stunt at character creation, however you only get that 4th refresh point if you don't use either skills or stunts with your extras. So what I was thinking was to not get a 4th refresh, instead getting the Thugs and Throw Credits At It as part of your company. This will allow you to effectively have five stunts, three personal and two extra, which is kind of exploiting the system, but I'm cool with doing that. Or if you want that extra point of refresh to spend on a fourth stunt, you can, you would just need to remove the stunt from your organization.

Personally I would do it the way I suggested, but it's your character and ultimately your choice.

Star Wars: Jedi Academy

ZELT VUDO

The young Jedi Apprentice was still in awe of the temple as he and his fellow Jedis entered the main hall. The massively carved statues of Masters past and faded ceiling murals most of dated to at least the Old Republic, or at least Zelt thought so with his limited knowledge. On the other side of the hall were several tunnels, leading to darkened areas, only illuminated by the glow of the crystals that were all around the temple.

Zelt’s wondering of how deep the tunnels went was met with an ominous no one knows. According to Jedi Knight Sehl, the tunnels may have been mapped in the distant past, but such records were lost to time. She also advised him to not get lost. Zelt wondered if she was being completely serious, and if there was much danger in those tunnels. He remembered that there was some wildlife native to Ilum, but Zelt thought he could easily avoid them.

What did scare him was the thought of booby-traps. Perhaps he had watched one too many Holo-Dramas, but Zelt was familiar with the concept of the adventurer entering a lost monument of the Old Republic, only to beset by dangerous traps. Zelt’s initial thought was that the Jedi wouldn’t make such a dangerous task for Apprentices, but then again what he did know of the Jedi only came from his studying at the Jedi Temple. Prior to that it had all been conjecture and propaganda of the Empire, painting Jedi as dangerous religious fanatics. Of course Zelt no longer believed that, but he was still at unease.

Rather than making a potential fool of himself by asking about traps, Zelt instead reached out with the Force. Apparently one of these tunnels would lead to his own Kyber crystal, Zelt noticing that his fellow Apprentice Sildarg had already chosen a tunnel. Wishing to find the right one for him, Zelt closed his eyes and let the Force envelop him.

While this place was definitely strong in the Force, it was more like a storm, swirling around Zelt’s mind. There were feelings and words flying by, going so fast that Zelt couldn’t understand them. So he tried to separate the winds with his mind, pulling apart the flurry. After a few minutes of this, Zelt was able to hear what the Force was saying. It was his name, repeated softly every few seconds.

Following the voice, Zelt found himself in front of a tunnel farther to the left of where he had entered. There were a lot less of those bright crystals in this tunnel, obscuring the way ahead. And yet Zelt heard a voice in the shadows, one beckoning him. Remembering to trust in the Force, Zelt took his first step into the tunnel.

---

Zelt walked for an unknown amount of time, trying to not trip in the poorly kept tunnel. The further he walked, the less there was of the glowing crystals. With neither Nagai or Sephi blood granting night vision, Zelt soon found himself barely being able to see in front of himself.

Feeling the walls of the tunnels with his hands, Zelt maintained a slow pace, all the while trying to feel his way around with the Force. He could still hear the murmurs of the Force, though they were softer now. And yet they still seemed to be coming from deeper into the tunnel.

It was at this time that Zelt really wished he had already had a lightsaber. He knew that the weapon of a Jedi could also double as a source of light, which would be greatly appreciated in the dark depths that Zelt had been treading into. But it could be that this was a test for a Jedi Apprentice to have an internal light and not rely of physical things. Or at least Zelt swore that was a lesson imparted by Master Skywalker, they all tended to blur together after a year.

With some kind of lesson in mind, Zelt continued down the darkening tunnel. Only to slip on a broken down pillar, causing the young Jedi to face plant into the ice and stone or the temple floor. Wondering why the Force hadn’t warned him of that, Zelt pulled himself to his feet, only to discover that his nose was now bleeding. Quickly wiping away the little amount of blood, Zelt’s face turned red, embarrassment overtaking his mind.

In that brief moment, the voice of the Force stopped. Zelt whipped around, trying to see if anything had changed. But he was still in the same tunnel, just no more whispers echoed through the stone.

Again, Zelt’s fear of not finding his Kyber crystal returned. In Zelt’s mind he wondered if he truly could be a Jedi. It then took a few seconds to steel himself, before Zelt decided that he would force the issue. Even if the crystal did not call to him, he would still find it. And so he continued down the tunnel.

Zelt would walk for even longer than before, still finding that the tunnel kept going. Zelt had to wonder how long it took the ancient Jedi to carve these tunnels. However, his prevailing thought was annoyance as he thought there was no end to the tunnel. Stopping his step, Zelt his feeling of anger roll of himself, only for it to encounter the Force that remained here. The young Jedi felt his negative emotions clash with the calm of the temple, the two sides of the Force battling. Only for the battle to affect the material world, the floor falling out from underneath Zelt.

The young Jedi dropped about twenty feet, falling into a dark abyss. Quickly reaching out through the Force, Zelt slowed his landing. Still, he hit is right leg on the way down, pain racing up his already injured limb.

Now sitting on the cold stone floor of some kind of chamber, Zelt looked around only to see shadows. There were none of the glowing crystals in this chamber, leaving Zelt alone in the darkness. Zelt rose, only for something to slash his left arm, drawing blood. Recoiling, Zelt realized that it was a sharp piece of ice. Feeling around through the Force, Zelt realized that the entire room was full of these sharp ice blades.

Sitting back down, Zelt felt defeated. Not only had he lost the trace of his Kyber crystal, he had fallen into what seemed a trap room. The young Jedi wondered if any of the Knights would be able to find him, and if he could still be a Jedi if he failed this trial.

Zelt mused on these dark thoughts for a few minutes, before something started talking to him. Once more, he heard his name, this time much louder. It seemed to be coming from the other side of the chamber. Standing back up, Zelt saw that the Force hadn’t abandoned him.

Since he couldn’t see in this darkness anyways, Zelt closed his eyes and let the Force guide him. He began to walk, not feeling any of the sharp bits of ice. The Force would lead Zelt in a straight path, keeping him save from all the dangers of the chamber. Eventually, Zelt would arrive at the wall of the other side of the room.

Zelt then opened his eyes, only to see a brilliant light in front of him. The light was emanating from a small blue stone in front of him. The crystal stood out from all the others in the temple as it was much brighter, with a pale blue glow. Also Zelt could sense the Force surrounding it.

Reaching out with his hand, Zelt would pull the crystal off the wall, hearing his name one final time as he touched it. It seemed to glow even brighter while in Zelt’s hand, illuminating the secret chamber. With its light, Zelt didn’t need the Force to avoid the jagged ice. In fact it seemed to boost the Force in Zelt, allowing him to jump up the twenty feet back into the main tunnel, a new record for his use of Force jump.

Once back in the tunnel, Zelt held his Kyber crystal high, using it to see in the tunnel. With its light, Zelt traversed back down to the opening hall.

---

The trip back was much quicker, given that Zelt wasn’t stumbling in the dark anymore. Before he could even be seen or heard by the other Jedi, the light of his blue Kyber crystal was visible from the tunnel entrance.

Zelt stepped into the opening hall with confidence, grasping the crystal in his right hand. He was aware that he did look pretty beat up, with bruises on his body from falling, a torn Jedi robe, and blood around his nose and arm. Still, he felt exceptional. He had done it. He beat the tunnel and got the Kyber crystal.

He was slightly irked to discover that Sildarg had made it back before him, an unusual Kyber crystal in her hand. Sometimes Zelt still had to be reminded that it wasn’t a competition between the Apprentices, it was actually a shared journey. But years of competitiveness was hard for Zelt to overcome.

But perhaps he could still be the first to complete their lightsaber. Rushing over to Jedi Apprentice Vaa, Zelt saw that she had set up tables for actually constructing their weapons. While still an Apprentice like Zelt, Kada Vaa had built her own lightsaber some time ago. As such Zelt was looking to her for advice.

“Apprentice Vaa,” he said as he rushed over, “Where do I start?”

In the moment, Zelt felt dumb. He had been focusing so much on how he was going to find his Kyber crystal that he had neglected his studies at the temple on saber construction. While he knew the basics, Zelt was definitely out of his depth. In all likelihood, Zelt would just make a basic lightsaber. He would keep it simple and classy.

Star Wars: The Fires of Hope - TTRPG using Fate Core

@Mistress Dizzy
Cool. Let me know if you need any help with creating your character.

@rocketrobie2
Glad to see some collaboration. As for what kind of droid to pick, like with species, I’m allowing original creations, just so that you aren’t stuck with a character type that doesn’t match what you have in your head. As for playing an astromech, that would probably be fine, though you would be limited in what you can do, not having actual arms and legs. But I’ll wait to see the character sheet before I pass final judgment.

@rush99999
I really like your character sheet. However, there are some things to address. All your aspects are good except for your trouble. Bored is kind of vague, so perhaps you could say what he was bored with. Is he tired of the status quo? Bored with his decadence? Or something like that. If it was a little more precise, it would be easier for me to invoke against you.

Also I see that you made your extra an organization. That would be fine, save the fact that only the start of the RP was going to be on Pythis, so the Count’s extra would rarely be of use. I suggest maybe changing it to Pythis Corporation, as a company could show up more in our galaxy spanning adventure. You could keep the same skills but change the two aspects. Also you could use your two stunts in the extras budget. My recommendation would be to add the thugs stunt, found in the organizations section of the Star Wars hack, and move over Throw Credits at It, as you’re only supposed to start with three personal stunts at character creation. But other than those couple of changes, your character sheet is very good.

Also since you made your character so deeply tied to the planet Pythis, I’m going to share with you my concepts of what the planet was like. Discovered during the High Republic Era, Pythis, or Planet O2874 as it was called initially, was located just outside a giant gas cloud in space. With no natural sentient life, Pythis was a mostly water world, save massive islands made of giant coral pieces that rose above the water. The planet would mostly only be used for scientific research and fishing of the creatures that lived beneath the waves. The planet would then be purchased by Count Pythis, who turned the various coral islands into resorts. Pythis would be a popular tourist destination, though interest in it has waned since the Galactic Empire came to power.

Let me know if you had any ideas about the planet Pythis.

Avatars of the Cosmic Crystal

@CaptainManbeard
Definitely interested in this. Since we’re allowed to be from alternate time lines, I think I’ll dust off my United States of Atlantis setting. The basic premise comes from the Atlantis Trilogy by Harry Turtledove, about North America breaking in half sometime before humans evolved. The western portion, known as Terra Nova, would be inhabited by tribes crossing the ice bridge from Asia, while the eastern portion, known as Atlantis after the lost city, would remain human free for thousands of years.

Eventually European sailors would find Atlantis, and with no one living there, claim it. Eventually Atlantis would become a haven for those fleeing persecution in Europe and the other continents of the Old World. Atlantis would then become the first modern democracy with the founding of the United States of Atlantis. Quickly, Atlantis and Asia would become the central powers, as they began to produce steampunk technology.

In this time line, it is now the 1910s, and war is breaking out in Europe. Atlantis is divided on whether to intervene, as some politicians call for world peace, while others see it as an opportunity to extend Atlantis’s reach.

My character would be the son on a pro-war politician, currently attending a prestigious university on Atlantis’s east coast. He is something of a tinkerer, dabbling in steampunk technology. After bonding with his crystal shard, he will develop the ability to copy the skills, abilities, and powers of those around him. Think a suped up combination of Sync and Prodigy of the X-Men, if you know Marvel Comics.

So yeah, I’ve put some thought into my character and home time line. Hopefully I’ll get a chance to play him as this does seem really interesting.

Looking to try out 1x1 - Many plots within

Bumping again.
