The Supermen of America

Any night owls looking around for something new?

MSPaint. I do pixel art when I'm on my laptop. I'm a visual type of thinker and any time I write something I make a few.

The Supermen of America

Still a WIP but here's what I've got....

__________________________

Archetype: canon
Name: Tye Longshadow
Alias: Longshadow
Age: 29
Base of Operations: Formerly Texas, presently Metropolis
Powers:
Size Alteration – Has the ability to change his size at will. Generally grows to 10 feet, 25 feet, and 60 feet tall.

Super Strength & Durability – Has heightened strength even at normal height that increases with his size. His durability gives him a resistance to small arms fire that increases with his size to include resistance to explosives and higher caliber weapons.

Weaknesses: mental attacks, gas based attacks, he can be overpowered, and at smaller sizes he can be affected by heavy gunfire and explosives. Size altering powers take a lot out of him and once he’s exhausted his powers work less. If he doesn’t rest, they can stop working completely.

Personality: cocky, inexperienced, loud, honorable, trustworthy
Appearance:



BRIEF Bio:

Tye is a Mescalero Apache, born in El Paso Texas. His mother Shelly insisted on living outside of the reservations so Tye was raised like any average American child. He grew up hearing stories of his great grandfather, a stoic Apache Chief, who was described often as a “giant of a man.” In his early 20’s, Tye’s metahuman gene was activated after a car accident with his mother that left her dead. After flipping their car off road during a thunderstorm, his mother told him that she loved him before speaking in Native American language with her last breaths “Inukchuk”. This blessing is believed to be a part of his power also giving him mystical origins.

Tye wasn’t sure what to do with himself and was a drifter for years. It wasn’t until seeing Batman and the Native American hero Chief Man of Bats in action in New York City that Tye found purpose. After saving the life of Batman with his giant form, both Bat-themed heroes kept an eye on Tye.

After saving people from a fire in California without any sort of mask to conceal his identity, Batman made contact and gave Tye one of Nightwing’s old masks. When he asked why, believing he didn’t have anyone close to keep safe, Batman gave him the name and location of his grandfather Holling.

Potential Storylines:

Supermen vs the Super Gorillas - Gorilla Grodd and a rogue army of gorilla soldiers from Gorilla City have overrun Central City and the Flash has called for help. Longshadow will be tested when the Golden Gorilla aka Congo Jim/Congorilla is brought in to help Grodd's army.

Taking Back Gotham - Longshadow among a few others helps with the effort to take control of Gotham back from the imposter Batman... Bane.

Notes: His S is war paint.

Checking in from work. I'll have my CS finished later and respond to any questions...

The Supermen of America

"...With that said this is obviously not based on any specific cannon and the only things that are off limits will be obvious. A few key points in DC lore will be noted, so many of the more recent incarnations of characters won’t be around, however depending on the scale some could be worked into our universe."

@Omega Man

I see this RP being something like the more recent animated films that updated classic stories with more modern elements and characters. Teen Titans vs the Justice League comes to mind, where Nightwing was sporting his red New52 suit with both Damian Wayne and the most recent Blue Beetle as members of the Titans.

The Supermen of America

The day that the world lost Superman will be remembered. Two weeks ago, the year 2020 took another turn for the worst when an alien monster called Doomsday fell to Earth. In a rampage across the east coast the behemoth crippled the Justice League and in a final act of heroism Superman gave his life defeating the creature. For days it seemed like everyone wore an armband commemorating the life of Superman, but when the Justice League failed to stop a techno-virus that enslaved half of Coast City… crime rates across the globe increased. That’s when the “Supermen of America” trend started. To honor Superman and his legacy other heroes adopted his symbol. New heroes emerged and crime was back on the decline once again thanks to Superman and his memory.

Black Lightning recently relocated to Metropolis and has helped other surviving League members [the Flash and Green Arrow] repurpose Metro Tower into Outreach: 1 for the Supermen helping to defend the Man of Steel’s former city. Beast Boy, now in his early 20’s, reopened Titans Tower in Jump City for many young heroes as a sort of Outreach:2. Will it be enough? Can the world go on without the Man of Steel?

The history of the Supermen of America has varied over the decades. Originally it was an official fan club of Superman in the 1940’s readers could write in for membership and decoder rings and stuff. Sometime after the Death of Superman another version popped up in the comics in the late 90’s with new metahuman heroes somewhat based on archetypes from the Legion of Superheroes. This is just a version that takes a few cues here and there and ties it to the Death of Superman again while spinning the aftermath differently.

The story was a different beast in the 90’s. With that said this is obviously not based on any specific cannon and the only things that are off limits will be obvious. A few key points in DC lore will be noted, so many of the more recent incarnations of characters won’t be around, however depending on the scale some could be worked into our universe. This will be a more sandbox style RP with many characters in play in different locations and with different groups and pre-established settings. Several characters will be in play to move things along but there will be several missions/threats I’ll introduce early on to give everyone multiple options when bringing their heroes into the game.

Current DCU Landscape:

* Superman’s enemies are still coming out of the woodwork in Metropolis and ‘Lightning and the Supermen will have their hands full. Notable enemies include: Livewire, Parasite, Metallo, Intergang, Cadmus Labs, Riot, Felix Faust, Silver Banshee, Bloodsport, and two others that will remain under wraps for now. One rhymes with Pex Puthor and the other is almost an identical twin of Marvel’s Cable LOL

* Batman is suffering a broken back, and Bane has taken up his own Bat-cowl and taken control of the Gotham underworld. A group of heroes would be ideal in taking him down, but most are scared of Gotham. The streets are patrolled by venom-jacked thugs in Robin colors.

* Hank Henshaw [formerly Cyborg Superman] has enslaved half the population of Coast City CA after corrupting and assimilating the technology of Cyborg [Victor Stone] and Green Lantern. Rumors suggest a portion of STAR Labs has several dozen survivors within what the news outlets have dubbed ‘Machine City’.

* Beast Boy is in a mentor type of role similar to Black Lightning. Cinderblock, Billy Numerous, Jinx, Brother & Sister Blood, Klarion, and other villains are operating in or around Jump City.

* This universe will take bits and pieces from various places including the CW shows, the DC films, the Young Justice animated series, Superman and Batman comics, as well as the DC animated films.

Interested players can create new characters within this DC universe, or they can recreate a version of an existing character that chooses to take up an S shield. I’m going for something of a modern day Apache Chief who was renamed Longshadow in recent stories, but you can put an S on just about anybody not already tied into the story. Character sheets MUST include but are not limited to:

Archetype: (re-worked canon or original)
Name:
Alias:
Age:
Base of Operations:
Powers:
Weaknesses:
Personality: [5 words best describing your character]
Appearance: [pic or description]
BRIEF Bio:
Potential Storylines: [What do you have in mind for your character?]
Notes: [anything else you need to tell us?]

I’m hoping for an even mix of canons and originals, maybe 7 or 8 players total including myself. This type of RP would be easy enough to make stat based as well with the number of enemies already in the mix, so if anybody is game for that route I’d get that going with as little as 5 players total. If anyone is interested in playing as Black Lightning, Beast Boy, or any of the others I’ve pictured for reference just let me know! This will be my first RP in quite some time and the only thing I’m giving attention to. A new RP with a few familiar faces would make 2020 suck a good deal less.

Cosmic Odyssey

Character Name: E’onandru

Character Alias: Akheilos

Character Age: 32

Powers/Abilities: underwater physiology; mystical gem enhances physical attributes, produces energy blasts, etc.;

Weaknesses: stronger opponents, magic, mental attacks, chics with blue hair

Skills: hand to hand fighting skills; Niagus Royal Guard training

Brief Bio:

🌊 🌊 🌊 🌊 Early Years

_{“If it is broken, I can fix it.”}

E’on had a very basic life in the undersea cities of Niagus. He was a skilled hunter as well as a very capable architect when it came to building things under the depths of the oceans. He met his life partner and married a female of his species named B’ruk and they had a child. Sometime later E’on was drafted into the Royal Guard. His whole life would turn upside down.

🌊 🌊 🌊 🌊 Royal Guard

_{“I just want to make somebody proud of me…”}



E’on had a hard time adapting to the physical demands of being one of the protectors of the undersea kingdoms. As time went on he would excel in his duties and set new standards. E’on enjoyed the challenges of being a Guardsman and grew overconfident. In the end he failed the city of Oredon and didn’t get the people evacuated in time to avoid contact with the poisoned sections of the sea. First his wife fell ill and then their child. Upon their deaths E’on swore he would avenge them and the others who fell ill and went after the one called ‘Bloodstone’.

🌊 🌊 🌊 🌊 Post Poison Seas

_{“I will avenge my people.”}

It took E’on weeks to find Bloodstone. After a failed attempt to take out Bloodstone’s ship, E’on was left for dead in the polluted waters. That was until the gemstone the evil mage was looking for found E’on and burned itself into his chest. Bloodstone managed to get off-world and the rage built up in E’on for weeks. The Planetary Alliance offered him a spot on the team they were putting together. The Machinist reminds him of his son, and Rayvin has the same fire within her as his wife once had.

Notes: Akheilos is meant to be equal parts Drax and Aquaman.
