All New Legion of Superheroes

Superhero games on the decline on the site or is the Legion considered too niche now? Usually I get at least a few interested parties, one or two people somewhat familiar with the concept...

Where's @knighthawk, @Bluetommy, @Gisk, @Weird Tales, @DrewVonAwesome, @Afro Samurai, @Endrance, etc.?! I NEED you guys LOL

All New Legion of Superheroes

The Legion of Superheroes is a group of diverse aliens around the year 3000 in the DC Comics universe. Equal parts X-Men and Justice League, the group over the decades has gone through many incarnations and reboots. Rather than play on an existing universe [cause the series is currently in the process of being relaunched by Brian Michael Bendis] what I hope to get a handful of players behind is the idea of reinterpreting it ourselves and potentially have two characters per player to make the roster more fleshed out. For example players could take one cannon Legion character and reinterpret them. Gender flip them, change their race or planet origin, you can keep or change as much as you want. Then for a secondary character you could recreate another Legion cannon character or create an original. If you’re a Legion fan already you likely have a few favorites, as the roster is quite literally the equivalent of the X-Men in the DCU. Here’s a link with info on some of the individual members of past and more recent Legion casts.

Legion Members

As far as the story and gameplay goes, we’d select three characters to act as the founders. With a group of at least 5-6 players we’d have between 6-12 characters in play [as some of you may not want a secondary character]. The RP would pick up some time after the team is formed and we will go into the game defending the United Planets based out of Superman’s former city Metropolis on Earth. This RP could be the standard Casual Level RP or it could even be stat based like my last Legion RP. I’ve got several ideas where to take a game like this in either outcome, so it makes no difference to this guy. I just need an RP right now with the additional free time on my hands. This could go as big as 10 players with a cast of characters between 10-20 heroes.

If there’s at least a few players interested I’ll post up some CS requirements. If there’s enough for a stat based game [it’s like D&D dumbed down and w/o dice] I’ll post stat requirements as well.

Also gonna go ahead and call dibs on Sun Boy and Triplicate Girl/Duplicate Girl!

Remember the Legion will have their flight rings/translators. Just try and recreate a character in the Legion cannon first before making complete originals for secondaries. With five of us so far we could start out with ten Legionaries.

Absolute Comics - Season Two: The Monster Within

I'll try and get something worked up by the weekend. My mom just passed away last night and I'm currently dealing with a ton of shit irl. Not sure which concept I'll run with for certain.

-Ω

Absolute Comics - Season Two: The Monster Within

@Lord Wraith Here's that old 'Tiger CS, gonna try and relax later and put something down for that Darkhawk idea. Dealing with some heavy stuff irl right now but I need an RP to help take my mind off of things. The android Human Torch is another character I'd be interested in reimagining... if you didn't already have somebody applying with Angel I'd resubmit my old cosmic Archangel idea.

Bronze Tiger🐅

^{"Is that all you've got?"}

^{Benjamin 'Ben' Turner ♦ May 1st, 1992 ( 25 ) ♦ Straight Male ♦ Neutral Good}

🐅 C O N C E P T A B S T R A C T:

This take on DC's Bronze Tiger is changed up in a way to integrate him into the cast of Black Panther and the nation of Wakanda to add a little more flavor to the whole concept. His new origin involves Prince T'Challa being crippled, Shuri (sister of the mainstream Black Panther) taking over as the Black Panther as she's done recently in the comics, and 'Tiger trying to find his place in a world with every type of hero and villain running around. Bronze Tiger's time in the Suicide Squad will be left out however his being a brainwashed instrument of the League of Assassins will have recently happened. As well as going at it in hand to hand with Batman and besting him.

🐅 Plots and Story Arcs:

- 50 Shades of Bronze:

The opening arc will deal with recently being brainwashed by the League of Assassins and returning back to Wakanda. Turner will suffer from slight PTSD, and it will show in the field protecting the city as well as interacting with Shuri (the new/current Black Panther). They'll both deal with enemies such as Barricade and Carnivore. Ben's fifty shades of messed up. Things get even stranger when Baron Macabre rolls into town raising the dead.

- Way of the Fists:

After Shuri insists she can protect Wakanda on her own, Ben travels to China to meet an old friend when he's caught up in a fight with a man who can become seven individual versions of himself. The man known as Seven Deadly Brothers was once a hero in the late 90's and early 00's in the Chinese superteam the Great Ten. He was now washed up and resentful of modern heroes. After the Chinese superhuman puts lives at risk trying to stop a rampaging Godzilla like creature in Hong Kong, Ben challenges him to one on one combat. The man only knows seven forms of martial arts and Ben's one of the best fighters in the world.

- League of His Own:

After the adventure in China Ben Turner lands back in America. After visiting Louisiana during Mardi Gras season, he settles down in St. Roch. Famous for being the last place Hawkman settled down, it's now infamous for some of the his enemies who survived since the winged hero's demise years earlier. How will the Bronze Tiger contend with Lion-Mane, Bloque, and Hummingbird? And who else will come to town to give the hero an assist?

🐅 N O T E S:

* Ben has roughly 4-5 years experience since coming to Wakanda. He was under the control of the League of Assassins for the last seven months and bested Batman twice before the caped crusader helped Ben break free of the League's mind controlling drug.

* Ben studied karate, kung-fu, Greco-Roman wrestling, Krav Maga, and kickboxing between the age of nine to twenty before moving to Wakanda. Since being trained by Prince T'Challa's father, King T'Chaka, Ben has studied in three forms of Wakandan martial arts including the Panther and Ape styles as well as the Tiger. During his time under the control of the League of Assassins he studied at an alarming rate at least another half dozen fighting styles.

* When deciding on a code-name for himself Ben considered White Tiger, Red Lion, Coal Tiger, and the Puma.

* The scar across his face came from the day he stepped in to save the life of Prince T'Challa. After the enemies were taken down, Shuri mistook Ben for another enemy and slashed him with a blade before he disarmed her.

* His suit is made of vibranium mesh and the retractable claws in the fingers are solid vibranium.

* Ben went to college in America for medical studies from the age of 17-20 before moving to Wakanda.

Absolute Comics - Season Two: The Monster Within

I think I tried applying with the Bronze Tiger concept the last time and it didn't make the cut because of other's plans for stuff in Wakanda, so I'm thinking today when I get in from work I'll take a stab at the Thanagarian Darkhawk idea... @Lord Wraith

-Ω

Absolute Comics - Season Two: The Monster Within

What would you say to a Darkhawk with ties to Hawkman lore? Or maybe a Bronze Tiger connected to the Black Panther?

-Ω

Absolute Comics - Season Two: The Monster Within

I might try to work something up for this, as I've never been in a singular universe RP. Dunno what I'll reimagine for a character though.

Welcome to Mega City [original universe w/superhumans...]

@rocketrobie2@DarkRecon Everybody involved stopped posting so it's pretty much DEAD dead. I'm developing something else loosely tied to an existing comic universe, likely DC themed. Thanks for the interest though all the same!

Welcome to Mega City [original universe w/superhumans...]

Closing it I just posted?! LOL

It's taken me some time to get a post in and I apologize. Had some real life shit come up that's kept me away from getting something typed up on my laptop. I didn't want to try and make a post from my phone with the quality some of you are posting in your posts. I had planned on letting somebody else get another post in before making a separate post with Arrowcaster to move things forward for some of the group.

TITAN

_{Interacting with @baraquiel}

Judah watched as the gypsy-like girl with a hypnotic pink stare rushed the two robot gorillas. After moves that made tv superheroes look completely fake, the heroine flipped and landed behind the pair of robots before waving at Judah. As she dodged and giggled the hero who wished to be called Titan was taken back by her grace. This was the type of girl his mother would’ve liked. It didn’t take her pink hypnotic stare to melt his heart, Judah already knew he’d do anything for this girl.

“I can’t let you do this all day!” Titan shouted as he ran in and blasted one of the robots with his gauntlet while the big blue construct hand opened up and provided the young girl with another surface to leap on.

The girl didn’t stop smiling perched on the construct hand. The boy was trying to be the tough guy and defend her.

“Your powers don’t work on robots, you wanna see if a dropkick would knock these things off balance? I don’t wanna let Big Blue do all of the work for us…” Judah asked blocking one of the robot’s melee attacks with an energy shield.
