The Revised Adventures of Teen Titans

The Revised Adventures of Teen Titans OOC

~~~The Revised Adventures Of~~~
Teen Titans​

This is my take on the superhero threads that seem to be popular around Lit. Here's my idea: We use the Teen Titans name, but we make our own characters or revamp existing ones. If you want to use an already established character, PM me. In this reality, things happen a little differently. I have two scenarios:

One:
We're all friends in high school. It's spring break of our senior year, and we're all down in Daytona Beach, Florida. We live in Vector City, Michigan, a bustling metropolis that is even bigger than Detroit or Lansing (in this game, anyway, lol). So, we're all down at the beach getting drunk off our asses (even though we're all only 18, we managed to get our hands on some alcoholic beverages ). On the last night of spring break, we go all out and get aboard a massive party on some rich kid's yacht, and go for a little ride. Little do we know that a severe thunderstorm has formed, and is heading right for us. The storm hits, the waves crash, the lighting flashes, and the thunder claps. The yacht rocks violently, and the wood splinters and cracks. Suddenly, a flash of lighting strikes the boat. We all see the bright light fade to darkness, and we're falling... we feel ourselves splash into the warm waters, and then, nothing...

We awake to find ourselves washed ashore, and the sun is out. Not really sure what happened the previous night, we return to the hotel and pack our things. We return home to Vector, putting the vacation behind us. However, after a few days, we start to feel different. We've changed somehow... And then we begin to develop strange new powers...

This is the setting for my idea. We can either start the rp at the beginning of the vacation to get some good sex action in firsthand and to develop our characters' personalities before their powers, or we can start it from when they get back to Vector, or whatever. Post with your character and your ideas. Although they haven't become superheroes just yet, I still want all your superhero info ahead of time, so that two people don't make heroes too similar.

In addition to fighting the others who have changed and abuse their powers, they also try and unlock clues to the mystery of how that storm changed them... Also, feel free to make a villain-type character too. You can make your chars here: http://www.ugo.com/channels/comics/heroMachine2/heromachine2.asp

Two:
Robin sends you all invitations to join a new group he calls the Teen Titans. The Justice League told him if he can recruit a good team of fellow teens, they will be named an official junior league, with the possibility for recruitment into the Justice League upon their 20th birthday.


Post your characters and your choice of which setting.


My Character:
http://www.titanstower.com/assets/animated/behind%20scenes/animatedcompare/robin.jpg
http://www.titanstower.com/source/animated/00indexanimated.html
Name: Dick Grayson
Age: 18
Occupation: Senior at Vector City High School/Leader of the Teen Titans
Alter-Ego: Robin

Strengths: With no superpowers of his own, Robin relies on his daring, intellect and a fully-loaded utility belt to carry him through the challenges he and his team face. Robin is also highly-skilled in Karate and Judo, with a dash of Ninjutsu.

Weaknesses: Robin has no superpowers, and therefore is more at risk for serious wounds and injuries.

Bio: Dick Grayson was orphaned at a young age when his parents fell victim to deadly crime. John, Mary, & young Richard were circus acrobats billed as the Flying Graysons, a star attraction in Haly’s Circus - which, unfortunately for the family, was reluctant to pay protection money to ‘Boss’ Anthony Zucco. Zucco’s men doctored the Graysons’ trapeze ropes with acid, and Dick watched in horror as his parents fell to their doom. As fate would have it, Gotham millionaire Bruce Wayne was in attendance that night, and, wearing the infamous cloak of the Batman, secreted Dick away after learning that the boy knew of Zucco’s racket. Dick asked to join the Dark Knight in his battle against those who would harm others, and after long months of training he teamed with his mentor to bring in his parents’ killers.

From the time he was fourteen, Dick fought alongside Bruce, while juggling his studies (Bruce registered to home-school him) and learning martial arts. They fought many villains, and after four years, Bruce felt Dick was ready to go be his own hero. He was about to turn eighteen, but had not yet received a diploma, being schooled at Wayne Manor. Dick chose to return to Vector City, the place he had been born and where his parents had grown up. He asked Bruce to fax his home-student records to the high school there, and they agreed to grant him a diploma if he attended for the upcoming school year, which he did, thus becoming a senior in twelfth grade.

During the day, he went to school and lived in his own one bedroom apartment, which was paid for by Bruce. In the evening or in between lessons, he donned the Robin suit and patrolled the streets. He befriended Ashton Drake and Diana Duece, who masqueraded as Bladesman and Violet. The three formed quite a team at fighting thieves and robbers in Vector City, however they hadn’t seen much real action. The last true challenge Dick had faced was when he and Batman had thwarted another plot of the Joker and rescued a group of hostages.

They became known as the Teen Titans.

Name: Ashton Drake
Age: 18
Alter Ego: Bladesman
Occupation: Student at Vector City High School/ Second in command of Teen Titans
Strengths: Ashton is skilled with all forms of bladed weapons. He also has the ability to launch a shockwave by swinging a sword. He is able to swing a sword fast enough to block most bullets, but can't match hypervelocity ammo (armor piercing rounds)

Weaknesses: must remain absolutely focused to generate the shockwave. Also, can't match the speed of Hypervelocity armor piercing rounds

Bio: Ashton grew up learning about blades of all types. His father was an old fashioned man, who worked with machines of various types. With Ashton's help, the old man had invented a new kind of blade, made of crystallized photons. The weapons were stronger, lighter, and didn't need to be sharpened, as they glowed with the energy of the photons. Ashton learned how to design them himself in the process, and made many of his own to use. The best part about them was that the device that crystallized the photons was contained in each weapon, resulting in something that was extremely portable. After leaving on his own at 18, Ashton decided to finish school while using his talents to protect the city. He met Dick Grayson at Vector High at the beginning of his four years. Together with a young woman calling herself Violet, they decided to form The Teen Titans. As such, they now go out at night hoping to find other heroes to join them.

Name: Diana (Di) Duece
Age: 18
Occupation: Senior at Vector City High School/spy and sneaky 'go-fer' type for the Teen Titans
Alter-ego: Violet Venyttely (and Indigo, her clone )

Strengths: Violet can determine her own density. She can lighten it slightly to become stretchable and nimble (think 'The Incredibles' here...), or she can fully liquify herself to seemingly disappear, dodge attack, or slither into places no one else can go. It also allows her to form extra arms, legs, whatever she might need, but of course lowers the density of the area she uses to do it. Because of her abilities, Violet can also clone herself, each clone being half as dense as her full self, and therefore not as able to do the extra things she can as one.

BIO:
As a senior who was about 18 months ahead of schedule in her school work, Diana had decided that her last year of high school should be more about her social life than her academic one. Taking only the required courses (and most of those being for dual college credit), and being a member of the choir, the band, and both the volleyball and the track teams, she had her plate plenty full without worrying about things like calculus and computer programming. There would be time for that in college, and she had other things she wanted to learn before getting there. Having accidentally de-virginated herself one night alone, Di was 18 now and planned on learning a thing or two from the guys at school. At least she would learn SOMETHING this year.

Di's parents were the ones kids dreamed up to make fun of as the worst parents ever. Drunks, stoners, Di had to sneak around them to avoid being yelled at and having things thrown at her. She stole lunch money from her mother's purse or her dad's wallet. They seldom noticed it missing, and she wouldn't be able to eat otherwise. She kept herself busy with extracurricular activities, as all of the jobs available for a teenager would only work her parttime, and she needed a fulltime distraction. Soon, those activities would expand to include the guys, hopefully either starting WITH or progressing TO her two best friends - Ashton and Dick.
She had to giggle at his name, but that was his name as he hated 'Richard' and they only called him Robin when he was in uniform.

Di knew little about where she'd gotten her powers. One night, as her parents were in the living room fighting, she'd snuck out of the house to the public pool. Lightening struck the water with Di in it, her hand on the metal ladder as she'd seen the storm coming and was trying to get OUT of the pool at the time. Passing out, she hadn't realized what had happened until later. When she awoke, she was floating atop the water - only her body wasn't in body form, it was a less-dense liquid floating in pieces in the pool. She was able to pull herself together, and within the next few days began noticing odd things. Her arms would stretch further than they should when she would reach for an object which should be out of her reach. Sometimes her hands or face would absorb the water from the faucet, causing her to appear swollen. She was able to bend in ways she hadn't before, and before long she learned that she could will herself to literally
MELT into a pool of liquid....
It wasn't until later that she'd accidentally discovered that she could clone herself. Boy, that was a story she'd have to explain to the guys sometime! Not until they were more comfortable with one another, she decided, hoping that would be sooner rather than later.


She'd been surprised at the way she'd discovered Ashton's talents, as it had been an accident. They'd just been walking home together one afternoon after school and saw the crime in action. Both kids fairly good citizens (for the most part), they swung into action and ended up having to use their new abilities to complete their self-driven task. Soon, they'd both invented alter-egos, and Di had decided to use her favorite color, purple.. Always a little bit of a sticky-fingers before, Diane was able now to sneak into places she hadn't been able to go before - like under doors, through grates, etc - and with Ashton's weaponry skills and defensive mechanisms, they seemed to do well in catching criminals and preventing crimes.

Violet would do well as a crime-fighter, as would Indigo, her clone. And, they probably had a few other assets as well. Thin, dark headed, and busty smart girls, the two made quite a pair in the darkness, whether they be in a dark alley, or a dark bedroom....

OOC: we need a blackfire << >>

Sure, your super power ideas are fine Dolly

Thanks... still working on making her. SHe's purple and her name will be Violet. I think. That's all I know for now and will edit my original post.... Danged dialup sure makes things like this slow, but I like the site and can't wait to check out the rest later....

http://www.titanstower.com/source/animated/00indexanimated.html
Here is a site that lists all the Titans in the cartoon series, as well as the allies and villians. For those that don't want to create their own, you can pick one of these, then link to the character bio page on your char sheet.

Sure. Noooooooow you post it. You're so fired!! GR!

just kidding. Just finished my gal and will be posting/editing shortly....

Okay. Also, since no one so far as a preference, we're going with the second setting. I changed my character to Robin too. He turned eighteen, and Bruce Wayne told him that his sidekick days were over and that he needed to go be his own hero. It was agreed amung the Justice League leaders that if Robin could assemble a team of fellow teen superheroes, they would be deemed an official junior division of the League.

Oops, didn't see your edit there Dolly...

NP I re-edited, all is well.

Well, bio added. The three of us can start rping for now in a new thread, and then when we recruit more heroes, they can post their chars here.

YAY! Quick question so I can whip out a bio (much, much faster than whipping up the picture LOL):
are we starting on the boat, using it as recruitment, or right after, or... where? LOL
i'll make up a background for Di/Vi as to why she's loping around with Robin fighting thieves.

Well, I figured Robin met the two, who were already fighting crime in Vector, and they formed a team. If you're cool with that, go ahead and make her past and how she got her powers however you want.

i'll work on editting my post after i finish my bio

And I'm joining so give me a second to make my character... NOOO I will not be Blackfire so dont' ask.! *growls*

bumpala

I'll post tomorrow guys promise but just not tonight...

Hopping on too..

Is Raven available?

Sure, so long as you agree to a few things linking her a future plot development. Make her char sheet, but PM it to me first.

nevermind

Changed m' mind. Be easier to bring in a created I've been tinkering with.

Name: Angelique "Angel" DeRoiux
Age: 18
Occupation: Student
Alter Ego: Roulette

http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e31/Anticlea113/ace.jpg

Strengths: Angelique has the ability to charge her energy into various objects; usually small throwable items. She also has dead-on aim, which also helps her with her staff during hand-to-hand combat.

Weaknesses: She has to give herself time between energy charges to regain her strength- the more a charge she gives, the weaker she becomes. She also has a sensitivity to very bright light.

Bio: Angel grew up with her Uncle Russ in Louisiana, her mother having passed away when she was born and her father unable to keep her. Her powers developed around her 13th birthday. Her uncle taught her how to control her abilities and told her how they were only meant to help and protect, never cause harm. She followed his instructions to a T, and when she turned 17, she began to fight back against crime in her town. At first it went over well- until rumors began... That Angel was only chasing off the crime to create more of her own. Her Uncle did his best to fight back the rumors and keep his niece safe, but when she asked if they could move, he was more than happy to comply.
Angel's 18th birthday was the same day she and her uncle arrived in Vector City, and she couldn't have imagined a better present from Uncle Russ. She still held the card that made her suggest the move... A card that said she could be accepted into a group of people just like her, that wanted to fight back- and not be seen as a freak.

WOOHOO!

Couple of gals! Maybe Di will end up with a new best friend after all.

Now all's we need is another guy or two... well, maybe. It's Jeff's thread. LOL See you guys next op I get!

***A note to those I've been writing with-
For some reason, this account is giving me troubles; locking up, saying I have PM's when I don't, and other oddities. I'm creating a new account... I'll post something with it as soon as I get it set up.

Please don't PM this name. I'll not be using it after tonight....
