Omega Man

Gotham Knights - Wrath of Bane

Three days ago....

Bruce Wayne and Alfred were horrified to find the bodies of Robin [Damian], Nightwing, and Red Hood hanging from the roof of the Bat-Cave with the words "I AM BANE" written in blood across their bodies. Bruce didn't speak for over a day. Bane had to go down, but even Batman wasn't sure he could take him in alive. Not after this. Days later, a video was left on the door of Wayne Manor. Batgirl was taken. Even after she'd left the city.

"You didn't think I was done did you?" Bane asked with a laugh with a helpless Barbera Gordon behind him bound to a chair and gagged with her own mask. "I figured.. hey, the other three went down pretty quickly. I didn't even have to break their backs. The little guy was a fighter though. This one however..." he continued motioning towards Batgirl and stroking her hair, "... too pretty to kill that fast. You got any more sidekicks Bruce? What about that stupid butler of yours, Pennyworth? I bet he'd make a nice punching bag."

"You probably know what I'm going to do." Bruce said cutting the video off.

"The man is a monster, master Bruce. You're only doing what you think is necessary." Alfred said in response.

"I need to put a team together, keep the boys' deaths secret for now. There has to be a way to bring them back, Alfred. It looked like they were all cut with the same blade, maybe one of the magical allies of the League could use that..." Bruce continued.

"Then find Bane, and figure out where the blade is. Once it's done you do what you must." Alfred got to the point. Bruce always appreciated his opinion on such things as he'd worked for the British intelligence bureau and helped Batman become a master in make-up and disguise.

"I need to put a team together quick." Bruce stated.

In the comics there are quite a few heroes and villains to come out of Gotham and surrounding cities like Bludhaven and Hub City. You can reimagine one of the existing ones, create an original character, or even be a cop from the GCPD. Whoever you are you will have presumably been friends with Batman to a certain degree. Or he knows you won't hold back on Bane and his goons, which is what the situation may call for. This is Batman over the edge but still trying to keep his wits about him. He can't involve the League if he's taking Bane down for good, but maybe somebody like Fate, Zatanna, or Constantine could use this blade to magic the boys back to life. Who will Batman recruit? Where will Bane be hiding?

The only bone I can throw anybody is the gang of Robins [from the series We Are Robin] has already been a thing for some three years now, but Duke never became a sidekick. Some of you could have ties to that group. Now for obvious reasons, Batman's not gonna let some new kid call themselves Nightwing or Robin on this team. Don't bother trying to sell me on it. Metahumans can be acceptable so long as the powers aren't too grande, as well as a reforming super criminal [like Clayface in recent issues of Detective Comics]. And I'll likely accept one magical character hero or villain but they have to be able to cast spells and not just powers from a magical artifact. Second or third string heroes could also be reimagined but I'm not looking for stuff that's too flashy. Core Justice Leaguers would be off limits, but the Outsiders and other heroes of Gotham affiliated with Batman could be in on this.

Anyway, as always, if there's enough interest I'll post Character Sheet requirements. Anybody wanna hunt down a behemoth of a man on super steroids who's got Batgirl hostage? And hopefully save the lives of Batman's sidekicks.

Just a head's up!

The titanpad is now read-only, however the chat portion of the pad is still working as far as I can tell. I'm looking into using something else similar for the group. Anybody got anything coming?

Changed the title around a little to see what it might do.

Marvel REBORN (ALWAYS OPEN!)

Jacob had went to sleep the night before, having fought Atlantians and making a few super powered friends in the process. Today was another day. He’d wondered what Johnny Storm had in mind for his adopted Inhuman daughter, as Jacob had taken a liking to her fish out of water attitude. He stretched after getting out of the bed, and stepped over the rocks still splitting through the ground below. The young hero went upstairs and took a shower, and could hear his Uncle Ben snoring in the living room like a bear. It was only a little after nine in the morning, it was time Jacob went for a walk without being in his super suit. Tossing it in the washer he wondered what the chances of getting a stylized T on the chest were. He wasn’t in the F4 so the 4 badge originally intended for it didn’t look right.

Walking for awhile, Jacob came across the dock in Sheepshead Bay and got a bagel across the street at a little corner shop. He sat on a bench and just people watched.

Back at the home of Ben Grimm, the elder hero got a phone call from a forty-something Amadeus Chow. Currently a man thought to be the ONLY Hulk…

“Ben? It’s Amadeus… I need some help.” The man said on the phone.

“I’m way to out of shape to help out, Kid. My nephew’s a tough one though, geokinetic powers and can even make a Thing suit of his own…” the original Thing said into the phone.

“Do you think he’s ready to fight a pack of wild Hulks currently terrorizing the Appalachian Mountains?” the man on the other end asked concerned.

Okay, sorry for delays guys. Working on a post tonight to move things forward.

I'm also in the market for a new Co-GM. If anybody has the time, give me a shout and I'll let you in on what I need in a partner in crime...

Nah this one's not even a week old I don't think. So long as four or five of you finish character sheets we'll move forward with the OOC/IC. I don't want a group of 8-12 players where we'd have three dropouts the first week and then gradually lose people over a month's time. Just a handful of dedicated players looking for something a little different. I was hoping the anime/videogame influence would draw a nice crowd. I expected maybe a Destiny fan or a Guyver fan but almost everyone has mentioned Warframe LOL

Which is fine since a lot of this draws inspiration from it... I do wanna stress though this isn't the same universe as Dark Sector [that happened in more modern times] or even Warframe [where standard humans were extinct], but it's own thing. I figured after we can't go back into stasis after the battle with the Unknown we'll find a way to Guyver most of our biomechanical armor away and live semi-normal lives among the remaining settlements of Earth until the next invasion. Or maybe another war between some of the remaining people of Earth...

You guys still interested? Haven't heard from you guys in a bit...

There's also somebody in the titanpad with the name Bishop developing a character. IDK if it was one of you or not! We have the makings of a pretty good group of players!
