Young Justice Renegades: A Team Worth Dying For

you all still onboard? It has come to that awful time where I say, we'll move on with or without you in order to keep things going for everyone else.

@Sep

I'm just lazzzzy. I'll have something up before the weekend. Shame me enough and maybe tonight.

Hana's going to yeet herself out the window and fly into danger like the giant green moth to a lamp that she is. She could bring people along with her, but that's a smart move.

And we know better...

Unless someone wants to volunteer to be taken on the self-yeet ride?

@psych0pomp

Can I volunteer Selene to yeet right after to try and stop her making a mess ahead of the group like the nag she is?

Aiming to do something tomorrow to have Cece respond to Hayden and then move her from the kitchen door into the Lounge she's referenced in other posts. Put her in location for Gabi and Selene.

The real question is, what movie do we watch?

@Lord Wraith

Selene's nomination goes to Napoleon Dynamite.

Selene had taken her time to properly move into the penthouse. Initially it had been because she hadn't had anything to move in. It wasn't as though she'd had much space for any of her New Hampshire comforts when staying with the League, and well, Diana hadn't exactly given her time to pack. As it was, the only proof that Selene's room was in fact her own was a small framed picture from a family camping trip four years before. But finally, nearly three weeks after being in her new home the packages containing the remains of her old life had arrived and things had settled enough for there to be time to sort through it.

There was a great deal more than she'd been expecting. Her adoptive family had sent everything from middle school trophies to cards from her 10th birthday. Most of it didn't have a place decorating the walls of a would-be super-hero. But the overwhelming feelings of nostalgia had left Selene to spend the better part of the day sitting on the floor reliving old memories; reminders of her life and individuality before everything had gone sideways, and was grateful for it. It took a few hours to change out all the bedding, pin up the pictures of herself, family, and former school friends, and organize the piles of ridiculous fiction books. The result was underwhelming; unsurprisingly after her past year of experiences it all seemed rather juvenile to hold onto.

Selene sighed and pulled the last item from the boxes; a carefully packaged lamp wrapped in layers of bubble wrap. Whatever the room was, she decided it looked was better than the inhospitable grey that she'd been living in before. When she pulled the generic standard-issue lamp from the socket, her arm stung and twitched away as the panel itself fell from the wall to hang from a string of wires. For a brief moment she considered consulting Julian: While she didn't know the specifics about the building's history her experiences so far had proven that the workmanship was spotty at best if not completely absent in many areas of the penthouse. But her surface inspection deduced that a screw had simply come loose and it would be fine just to plug in the new lamp, after all the wiring itself had been working fine before, and what worry could little shock be to someone like herself? The moment she plugged into the outlet, there was an audible pop, and everything went dark.

Selene remained kneeling on her floor as feeling gradually returned to the left side of her body before suddenly deciding it was a lovely evening to go out. She jumped from the floor and with a double upward gesture and flew outside her open balcony doorway. Within seconds she was hovering over the roof of Edge tower, taken aback by the sun setting over the horizon of endless sea. There was a sudden pang of homesickness again, as memories of early morning trips along the East coast and a similar sunrise surfaced. She settled cross-legged on the rooftop, trying to admire the view while shielding her eyes from the glare until the sun completely disappeared and the spilling light from the upper level windows assured Selene the power had been fixed.

She returned through her room, where she very, very carefully pushed the socked back into the wall with a silent vow to never so much as look at it again before leaving to pass the gathering voices in the kitchen to the less-crowded lounge.

"Evening ladies," she greeted Cece and Gabi as cheerfully and casually as possible. "Watching something?" Not waiting for an answer or invitation, she slid over the back of the couch to take a seat.

One more relationship left...

@Lord Wraith

Cool
Do mine now

Young Justice Renegades: A Team Worth Dying For

Four out of fifteen relationships are done...

@Lord Wraith

Where are our penthouse designs though

<Snipped quote by Tackytaff>

Thats totally what I said why are you misquoting me?

@Sep

I must be having a stroke, I mean you wouldn't ever start a sentence with an object rather than subject pronoun.

Young Justice Renegades: A Team Worth Dying For

Me and Hillan discussed Hillan will have been the first magic user and by out reckoning the second recruit after @Roman

@Sep

Conor not Hillan I'm guessing? I was thinking Selene would be early on too but order doesn't matter much. So far I've only specified sometime before Gabi and Cece.

Didn't I read somewhere that Luthor wasn't confirmed to be Uber-Evil?

^{"Plans can never go wrong if you don't make them in the first place."}

Selene is the daughter of Circe. Born for the sole purpose of fulfilling a prophecy; one that would enslave the Amazons of Themyscira into the servitude of Circe, Hecate, and Nyx. Obviously these plans failed drastically, but were the catalyst for Diana leaving the her home and eventually taking the mantle of Wonder Woman a short time later.

Left with a demi-god baby, Diana did what she considered best at the time; she called upon the gods to diminish Selene's abilities so as to allow her to live a normal life with an adoptive family in New Hampshire. It worked for a time, but the trace amounts of gods blood in Selene stopped being dormant after reaching adolescence. In a matter of months the Windle's small New England town was hit with a devastating blight to crops, multiple reports of troubled dreams or visions, and a shocking number of small pets running off into the wood at night and never returning.

Selene was very quickly and quietly whisked away by Diana. But her innate magic was unusual even for the experienced members of the justice league, not to mention the fear of the half-filled prophecy made all weary at the idea of really training Selene. Begrudgingly she was taught to focus her will into some weak magic, first as a means to control her powers; preventing any similar incidents to those in her hometown. This has left Selene with scant knowledge of her own power, but a great thirst for more.

A B I L I T I E S:

Sorceress of Hecate: Being the grand-daughter of the goddess of magic means Selene possesses an innate talent for magic. As such, she doesn't typically require the same level of sacrifice called upon most magicians. That isn't to say it is without its difficulties, her magic draws upon a combination of will, emotion, and energy. Its a complex process which takes a great deal of training to learn, of which Selene has next to none. She can preform only a few spells with any reliability; flight, and energy projection as a barrier and projectile weapon.

Demi-God Physiology: Technically, Selene should have the durability and strength of most of the other Greek demi-gods. The bulk of her power was mostly stripped away when she was a child, but she is coming into it as an adolescent.

C H A R A C T E R M O T I V A T I O N S & G O A L S:

Like most adolescent heroes, Selene's story is all about finding a sense of purpose and belonging. For the long term, she will be discovering her own abilities and her place in the world. While she's a moral character, she is fascinated with her own capacity for power to a degree that those with knowledge of her heritage find unsettling. As for more direct and immediate goals, Selene is looking for a way to gain possession of her mother's grimoire. A text that could help her unlock and learn her powers, but has been under lock and key of first Diana Prince then the Justice League itself after its founding.

C H A R A C T E R N O T E S:

Lacking any creativity of my own, Selene is a Frankenstein combination of young comic-hero tropes I like to play with. While I hope to work on some dc magic lore alongside other magic-based characters I'm also interested to explore the specifics of alien-god magic in a Marvel/DC universe. I hope to incorporate aspects of Marvel's Olympians into the well-established DC Greek Mythos.

Her powers for the time being are limited, but will hopefully grow as time goes on. While she's a demi-god I want to build up to her gaining any sort of world-changing powers, if she does at all in the course of this roleplay. She's going to have to find ways to learn to use her magic throughout the story, though I am happy to discuss and limitations as I realize how vague that is.

Notably as of yet she does not have contact with her mother. While she knows Diana used the magic of Circe's grimoire to keep her imprisoned on Aeaea since her last attempt to conquer the Amazons, she has made no effort to discover more. She has no kinship with or interest in her mother beyond learning more about her magic. The Windle's are her adopted family that she was forced to leave once coming into her powers, and while they still keep in contact their lives have since become entirely separate.
