Justice League: The New Wave (OOC - Interest Check)

[ChasNicollette]

The trailers make it seem like Ruby will be an antagonist, which wouldn't bode well for her. I'll be rooting for her anyways.

Same! ...just like I was kinda rooting for Perkins in the first one.

 

[ChasNicollette]

So I'm afraid I've been thinking.

(A dangerous pastime!)

(I know!)

part of what needs to happen in downtime this time-- and this can happen onscreen or off, depending on peoples needs or moods or what have you--

--is that each character who came to the aid of The New Justice League in the battle against Kobra should be approached either by a New Leaguer or one of Luthor's people and asked to join. In particular, given one of the LexIcon smartwatches that The New League uses to communicate.

Would everyone be okay with this?

 

[ChasNicollette]

Nevyn, can Braggock fly over long distances by channeling his heat into thrust?

 

[Zet_Cross]

If they can figure out who GIRD is i'm fine with it.

 

[Varshanka]

could I... um.. have a list of characters that have not been invited to join?

I've kinda lost track... and the roster is always updated so I'm kinda winging it..

 

[ChasNicollette]

If they can figure out who GIRD is i'm fine with it.

Actually, I had a thought about that.

What if Lysl had the forethought to save a phone number to the contacts on Ruby's Dial...

...so that Ruby could call Milton on the helmet commlink if they needed to get in touch again?

Y'know, since Ruby was Lysl and Milton for a few minutes there.

Would that work?

Velocity
Static
Beast Boy
Green Arrow
Raven
G.R.I.D.
Wildcat

are heroes who helped fight Kobra and will be offered membership in The NJL as a result,

Braggock
The Sandman

are PCs that have not yet interacted with The NJL, and

Aquagirl

is going to be an NPC nominated for provisional NJL membership while Aquaman convalesces.

 

[Varshanka]

damn, you have that list hiding on your computer waiting for someone to ask? That was fast.

 

[ChasNicollette]

Heh, thanks!

Not specifically, but it's something I've been thinking about a lot!

...so in the sense that it was in my subconscious, yeah, it was on my computer.

 

[Zet_Cross]

Sure, Ruby can certainly have Milton's number

The Emerald dragon part is the tattoo on her right bicep
And on her left shoulderblade is the Interlac symbol for the letter P in black
Name: Josephine (It's Jo frag it all! Don't you sprocking dare call me Josephine.) Nah/Jo Nash
Alias: Ultra Girl/Rebel.
Age: 19
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Brown
Height 5'10"
Weight: 180 pounds
Homeworld: Rimbor (Bloody Nass, get it right, it's The 'Bor.)
Home state: Grimes, Alabama

Background: Jo Nah was born the daughter of prostitute Mytra Nah and her criminal husband Crav. Crav died in a heist while Mytra was pregnant with Jo.

Being brought up on the 'Bor by a mother who was too busy surviving did little for the young woman that would one day take the name Ultra Girl.

Too pretty for her own good she learned at a very young age to be the meanest thing in her part of the 'Bor. By the age of thirteen she had a rap as long as she was tall. At fifteen she had her own crew, the Green Dragons. Life was good for Jo.

That was until she took the hair brained bet from that Londo loser from the Wolf crew. He had made her the bet that she didn't have the steel to boost a new prototype SP cruiser that was being tested in the worst possible enviroment. If it worked here, it would do for anywhere else in the U.P.

The S.P. were on her like, well, stink on an S.P. (Science Pig you freaks.). She boosted the cruiser and was in atmo before they could get the jump on her. She made it out of system before they could catch up with her, but they were still close enough to see it happen.

The drive of the cruiser had caught the attention of an energy beast of unknown nature. It tracked in on a by now panicked Jo (Oh you would have sprocking been scared too. Fragging thing was huge! And the teeth on it.) The S.P. could do nothing but watch as the beast swallowed the cruiser and the criminal as well. They received the order to retrieve the cruiser no matter the cost and they carved into the beast until they extricated the cruiser. Jo was taken into custody and put in holding until she could be sent to Takron Galtos.

In the Galtos, she discovered her powers when during a prison break she couldn't stand by to watch helpless guards get butchered. In light of her single handedly stopping of the break, the U.P. made arrangements and Jo was released into the custody of the Legion as a sort of work release program.

Powers: Ultra Girl was imbued with a wide variety of powers making her possibly one of the most powerful Legionnaires. She has super strength, invulnerability, super speed, A form of x-ray type vision that is impervious to lead called Penetra vision, and a heat type vision called Flash vision. There is a drawback however. Jo can only use her powers one at a time. Strength or Invulnerability. Flash vision or speed. She is getting very well versed at how quickly she can shift from one to the other.

Recent History: Jo was preparing to go to bed one night when an unknown assailant attacked her in her own quarters. Whoever it was defeated her before her teammates could respond. When they arrived she and the assailant were gone. When she awoke she could only remember that her name was Josephine, which she hated and went by Jo, and that she had a passing knowledge of an ancient language called English. She was naked and alone when the Nash family found her and took her in. She discovered her powers again and found she could use them at an instinctive level.

When Papa Nash found out about her flight and Ultra speed she became the first Rimborian bootlegger on Earth-one. Yep, she wasn't on Earth-24 anymore. Donning her tell tale midi halter top proudly displaying the Confederate flag, torn blue jeans, black wrap around shades, and beat up brown cowboy boots she is the bane of Southern law enforcement known as Rebel.

[ChasNicollette]

Retrospectively, probably Morpheus didn't send Sandy to the Kobra thing because Kiz and Rose/M'gann were already there?

Dream was pretty thoroughly represented, and there was other stuff to do too.

 

[ChasNicollette]

Power Levels will be posted in the morning once I figure them out.

Probably similar to Karan's?

Maybe just a tiny touch lower?

We'll figure it out!

Are you keeping the "Ultra Girl" codename or are you gonna use that amnesiac codename you mentioned, "Rebel?"

Nope, I fixed it .......... She is the Rebel....

 

[Aussie_Wolf]

Okay Chas...If you tell me who invited Velocity, then I can get a post up for her with her using the NJL computers to learn more about Barry and about how to use her speed powers...Then her going out and doing so as her down time post.

Green Arrow can probably be recruited by Dani/Rider and his goings on are being done off record but a brief history will be done I believe

 

[ChasNicollette]

As hard as it is to track down a speedster, I think Carin and Rose developed an okay bond out there, and Rose could maybe reach out and touch base with Velocity telepathically.

Would that be all right?

 

[Aussie_Wolf]

Fine by me

I will write the whole thing up if that's okay with you. Get the telepathic message in my head. Meet Rose at NJL headquarters. Get the guided tour and then go from there. How does that sound?

If you want to do up a rough draft, that's cool, but PM it to me first so I can work with you on Rose's stuff, okay?

 

[Aussie_Wolf]

no problemo

Wyld, please paste the above text into your profile, unless you have any haggling you want to do on that.

Varshanka still needs to give her final say-so over your character, and once we get that sorted I think you'll be good to post.

It's very important, at least as far as the primary arc is concerned, that no-one realizes that other Earths are involved, here, until after/during the next event.

A "multiverse" and "hypertime" exist as hypotheticals on Earth-1, "parallel Earths" are a concept that's debated in science and fiction, Ruby's pretty sure that's where her Dialed ectypes come from, but so far as our PCs are concerned there's been no absolute proof of that and there's zero idea that what's coming involves other Universes.

While I've disallowed inter-Earth characters before this, Jo is a loophole because like Val-Zod she has zero memory of what future time and Earth she comes from and can't spoil it for the PCs.

That said, I hope we can portray this as suitably mind-blowing for our people once we get to that big reveal!

Thanks, everyone!

thought I did already...

Wyld you're fine.

Oh!

Sorry if I missed that!

Thank you, Var.
