Young Justice Renegades: A Team Worth Dying For

I'm a simple man with a goal.

Trying to get the OOC to 500 posts before Hillan drops the cast list.

@Lord Wraith

Edit: I thought that dog joke was gonna land a lot better than it did

Young Justice Renegades: A Team Worth Dying For

How I feel every time I look back at this interest check and see 5 entirely new pages of responses

Lmao y'all killing me here

@Jarl Coolgruuf

It's perfect because I'm the dog: conscious there is activity in the area, fundamentally unable to engage with it on an intellectual level, but aware that if I hang around, someone might drop a hotdog on the ground and I'll get to eat it.

@Roman Would you be interested in discussing relationships between Oliver?
Also, here's an alias: The Jelly Jelly Man
or simply
Reality Jelly

@Snownado

I’d rather wait for the definitive roster before I start exploring character dynamics.

Young Justice Renegades: A Team Worth Dying For

@Roman I thoroughly enjoyed this sheet and feel like it's my second favourite after The Platypus.

@Sep

Pipped to the post once more. And by a semi-aquatic, egg-laying mammal no less!

^{"All roads could lead to Rome...but I'd rather they lead to the bedroom."}

A snarky, pain-in-the-ass, happy-go-lucky, turbulent mess of a young man, Vincent is extraordinarily gifted and extraordinarily un-practiced. Aware of his abilities, he's been using them to make his life easy for the past few years, since leaving his drunk of a father, but he's only really scraped the surface of what he's capable of; his biggest enemy is his reluctance to try, in case of failure - and besides, what he can do currently is fine enough to maintain his lifestyle, and with his city being The Flash's home haunt, any fancy showing-off might bring the wrong kind of attention from beings he is woefully under-equipped to deal with.

Vincent liked - or convinced himself he liked - his footloose-and-fancy-free life, and Julian's recent intrusion has been poorly received; Julian's clever architecture design to keep Vincent confused enough to be unable to turn his bedroom door into the main security gate is another particularly irking bugbear. Vincent finds himself at-odds with Julian's objectives, but there is enough of a moral streak in him - or enough spite for his father, who made a point of ensuring Vincent knew he would never amount - to keep him around, regardless of the countermeasures against him. Julian sees potential in Vincent, potential Vincent himself refuses to acknowledge; but silently, he is deeply appreciative of having someone believe in him.

Vincent is a reality warper. By which I mean, if you take 'The Space-Time Continuum' as a concept, Vincent takes the 'Space' half of said continuum, and turns it into putty in his hands.

Euclidean geometry means very little to Vincent. Pick a point in space; pick another point in space. Do what you want with the space in-between. Shorten it, and fast-step your way 2 miles down the road; lengthen it, and get your daily steps in while you walk from the kettle to the fridge to fetch the milk for your coffee. Darts championship at the local bar? Bend that space in front of the dart, and it'll never not have been on its way to bullseye. Balloon out your pocket space when you really need to shoplift that third case of beer for the kegger house party you're crashing tonight.

Naturally, this is incredibly powerful, and Vincent is practically a physical god walking the Earth...or at least he would be, if he took the time to practice with his powers and experiment with what's possible. Unfortunately, this would require effort, and leave him open to failing an attempt at something, so he has avoided this at all costs. Right now, his powers are limited to spaces he can see, or is extremely familiar with; he can bend, stretch, and shorten space, and alter the space within his pockets and some bags, but isn't capable of much else right now; and he is unable - and unwilling - to mess around with biological matter.

It's Julian's hope that the Renegades might force Vincent to push his limits; it's Vincent's hope that he'll be able to get away with as little as possible.

I've been gasping for OC for a while, and this is close enough. Honestly, enough of my friends are here for me to want to get involved purely on the basis of writing with you guys again, but also I wanted to try and get a little sillier and a little looser and try not to take myself or my writing so seriously, in hopes that it may open the door to just writing more and chopping it up, rather than agonizing over the perfect, most believable, most interesting story-arc, and then never writing it because my plotting is always so much better than my prose.

I figure the answer to that is to throw plotting out the window, and just have some fun with it.

Effectively homeless without the Renegades; his powers did give him access to hotel rooms and empty holiday homes after he ran, but though he'd rather stay on the streets than return to his father, he's still not sure the Renegades life is for him, even if Julian is comping room and board.

Julian has set Vincent some pretty rigorous schedules to explore the nature and capacity of his powers. Vincent isn't very good at sticking to them; Julian isn't very good at pinning Vincent down for 'encouragement'. The two have a mutual respect, but find each other equally frustrating at times.

Vincent is one of the only reluctant members of the Renegades, and has no real experience 'in-the-field', so to speak. His abilities give him a natural edge, but half of his prescribed regime is basic combat drills.

Short summary of your characters thoughts, feelings and regards for the rest of the cast. Optional and can be added to whenever.

I could use an alias if anyone has any good ideas.

Roman's Scrapbin

Insectoid physiology (See: Hornet)

Animal control

Hyper-survivability (See: Jenny Venom)

Self-cloning (See: Double-Down)

Auto-biokinesis (See: Penny Dreadful)

Perfect aim (eg Deadshot, Bullseye; any target with any item, around corners, through obstacles, however grand or minute)

Resurrective immortality (ie no healing factor, pain tolerance, or extra durability, but 100% heal and revive with no lasting injury or brain damage upon - and ONLY upon - complete and lasting bodily death)

Technopathy - upgrade
Technopathy - create (See: Lock & Load for these)

Ferrokinesis (ie the abnormally production of Iron within the blood, that is then manipulated within the body to form sub-dermal armour, skin-thorns, weaponry in-hand, throwable darts, etc)

Hyper-prediction (ie using minuscule contextual information to extrapolate extreme predictions to a high degree of accuracy; near-perfect reading of body language; accurate (but not perfect) prediction of future events)

Possession (by a spirit or magical being)

Intangibility (kitty pryde)

Psionic suppression/oppression (the blocking or confusing of senses eg numbness, blind spots, deafness; the application of false senses, eg pain, fear response, phantom touches, heat/cold receptors, aural/visual hallucinations)

Monster creation/control (see: Minnie Ripper)

Perception manipulation (altering how oneself is perceived, eg seen in a different form, unable to be seen as a threat, unable to be noticed)

Barrier generation (walls and force fields, immovable and unbreakable - a maintained wall cannot move, but cannot break)

Space distortion (bending, shortening, lengthening - no organic matter - pick two points and distort the space between them, or distort the path of an object in motion. Weird teleportation, throw things around corners, etc)

Gravity manipulation (alter personal gravity field to jump high, fall slow, walk up walls or on ceilings, even levitate. Increase it to be dense and immovable, decrease it to move faster. Decrease the gravity on an object to lift it, increase it to create an immovable obstacle. Suck things in. Push things away.)

Astral projection (project a ghost of yourself that interacts with the world. Jump your body to where the ghost is.)

Timeline creation/collapse (create parallel timelines and make different actions in each; collapse the ones that go wrong and keep the one with the best outcome)

Gas/Liquid generation + expulsion (harmlessly generate all manner of gases and liquids, nice and nasty, within your body, then expel them at high or low pressure. Acid, sleeping gas, scalding water, smokescreen, poison)

Environment manipulation/terraforming/terrakinesis (fairly self explanatory)

Innate mastery (innately but temporarily master any skill or task you put yourself to - on a cooldown per task/skill, or globally)

Blade manipulation (create blades, control blades, make existing blades so sharp they can cut to the molecular level)

@Roman I was actually hoping to go for the exact same angle. So I guess your question is relevant to me as well.

@Dead Cruiser

Young Justice Renegades: A Team Worth Dying For

@Hillan how monster-y can we get? I’m looking at an alien fish-out-of-water, still learning Human culture kind of angle. But you know me, I’m a degenerate for monster girls.
