Once upon a time, history was made on the battlefield. Heroes chose to fight for Justice, for Honor. For Glory and for Faith. For Survival.

And in time all the fighting was done.

With the help of interstellar races, the Earth entered a millennium of Utopian peace. Humanity was free to explore the universe, to explore the arts, and to explore themselves. Multiple peaceful transhumanist raptures, called Singularities occurred, ascending people to higher, better, and more exotic realms of consciousness. The galaxy was our playground, and The United Planets were born. Now, at the dawn of the 31st century, all our parents and their parents have ever known is stability, security, and order.

And we're so sick of it, we could scream.

This is Cosmic Boy, speaking for the oppressed, constantly monitored and universally disfranchised youth of the future:


WE ARE LEGION

Welcome to the Legion of Super-Heroes OOC thread. These are the rules:

When: This RP's IC will start in a couple weeks. You have till then to submit characters. After that we will probably be closed unless you can come up with a way to fit your character organically into the ongoing RP or unless we re-open his for Legion Try-Out Day or something.

Join: You must submit a character to this thread with the following:
name + super-hero name (remember, adjective + /boy/lad/kid or girl/royal title/lass),
power + any caveats (i.e. caveats = "my powers are pretty awesome but they only work when it is really dark")
age,
gender (if applicable) + sexual orientation (SGLC) + any caveats (i.e. caveats = "I'm a girl pretending to be a boy pretending to be a girl who is a transexual so can I be your friend?"),
appearance (with a picture if possible, if you can't post a picture then link to one or get really, really specific because we will be dealing with alien races),
personality,
biography (a couple of paragraphs at least),

You need to be approved, before you post. Approval comes from me or from someone I pick to approve instead of me.

Post: Spell check your posts before posting, people. Or at least read over your post for bad mistakes. And post a least a paragraph or two. Give the other Rpers something to work with. Also place the beginning and ending location of your post, in your subject line (i.e. subject = the Legion Hall/Deep Space) and tag (i.e. a tag = Tag>_insert character name_) anyone who is in the scene with you, at the end of your post.

People: Anything DC other than antimatter races, Green Lanterns, and Kryptionians are allowed. Humans have no natural abilities, but have fun with the other races natural strengths and weaknesses.

Moderate: This thread is free form. Or as free as any form can be. That said, Respect the rights of others or I will disrespect yours. Oh, and use the OCC for OCC and the IC for IC and if you are about to do something like blow up the Earth or kill off characters by picking their names out of a hat (I'm looking at you Keith Giffen) then post it on the OCC first for approval.

Night Girl

Legion Reservist

First appearance: Legion v.5 #45 (October 2009)
Joined reserves: Legion v.5 #48 (January 2009)

Not much is known about Night Girl. She initially came to Metropolis as an applicant for the United Planets Young Heroes. (#45) When that didn't pan out, she applied for Legion membership. Although she was rejected because her powers are negated by daylight, she was granted reserve member status. (#48)

Powers: Night Girl has super-strength the rivals Ultra Boy, but only in the absence of the visual spectrum of light.

Okay, from what I just read I presume that you meant we had to be approved on here before we post on the IC.

If I have got that wrong, I whole heartedly apologize, It's just gone midnight in my timezone and I've being busy revising all day, so my head is very slightly jumbled.

Also, if my spelling appears wrong, that is because I have my spell check set to UK English, because that is where i'm from.

If I'm approved to join, and you need some help Gnu_Blade, I'd be happy to help.

Also, what do you mean by tagging characters? I think I get what you mean but I'm not entirely sure.

Anyway, Here is the character I'd like to play.


Name: Garth Ranzz
Aka: Lightning Lad
Powers: Lightning Lad has the ability to generate electricity within his own body without harming himself. This electricity he is able to discharge in the form of potent "lightning bolts". Lightning Lad is also immune to the harmful effects of electric currents, not only those currents which he himself generates.
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Appearance: He is the one of the far left.
http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a319/mgrabois/LSH_show/season2/LOSH_12.jpg
Personality: He comes across as hostile at first, but he warms up to people over time. He can hold grudges and is occasionally hot-headed, yet there are other times when he can be deadly serious. He's not one to joke and struggles to tell when people are joking.
Biography: Born on the planet Winath, he is the twin brother of Ayla Ranzz and the younger brother of Mekt Ranzz.

When they were 12 the twins went with Mekt on a trip in their parents' new space cruiser and became stranded on the barren planet Korbal after the cruiser's power cells drained. Ayla suggested that they use the "Lightning Beasts" (the only living things on the planet) in an attempt to recharge their cruiser. The only result of this, however, was that all three were found in comas the following day as a result of massive electrocution.

Months later, Garth and Ayla awoke simultaneously to find that Mekt had awoken around a week earlier, displayed electrical powers like the Beasts, threatened the staff, and vanished. After hearing this, they kept the fact that they had developed similar powers from their parents, thinking that the lightning had corrupted Mekt somehow and would soon corrupt them and refusing to believe that Mekt had developed into a sociopath just because he had been a "solo" on a world of twins.

(I've left out any mention of the legion, because I don't know how you want that to go, or if Garth is still a founding member or what. I've also got no problem if anyone decides they want to play Ayla.)
 
Jo Nah - Ultra Boy

Name - Jo Nah (possible adopted name)
Legion name - Ultra Boy

Powers - Ultra Boy has all the powers of Superman, i.e.Ultra Strength (Superhuman Strength), Ultra Speed, Invulnerability, Flash Vision (his version of heat vision), Penetra-Vision (His version of X-ray vision, but apparently can see through lead), Flight, but his major Caveat is that he can only use them one at a time.

Age - ? (Appears somewhere around a rugged 20)

Gender - Male

Sexual Orientation - Straight, but you know those Rimborians...

Appearance - With the green dragon on his chest. Typically with a bit of stubble.

Personality - Jo Nah has been aptly described as "Han Solo with Superhuman Strength." He’s a rogue who went straight, savagely street-smart. Though he's not book smart, he’s still a clever kid who knows what really makes the world go round. Because he has amazing powers, but has to use them one at a time, his limitations make him sneakier and much more conservative than most of the Legion’s combat members, and has also served to give him more humanity, as he’s only immune to harm SOMETIMES. Jo Nah has been through hard times as a youth and values his friends,offering his “hit-first-cause-there’ll-be-trouble-later” brand of justice to those he calls friend.

Biography - Jo Nah claims the planet Rimbor as home, though returning there might be a bit hairy because of a little legal matter... ok and some unsavory crime lords. Jo obviously grew up there and much of his adolesence was filled with further and further sories into the criminal activities that dominate the Rimborian landscape. Before leaving Rimbor, it is said that Jo Nah was one of the premiere smugglers on Rimbor and was believed the leader of a power gang called the 'Emerald Dragons.'

Little is known about exactly how Jo Nah developed the powers that he now has. There are several legends that float off planet from Rimbor about Ultra Boy but oddly enough, on one thing they all agree. As legend has it, Jo Nah became Ultra Boy after a Space Whale swallowed him.

(Woof, finally got the pictures attached)

Night Girl
Knows little to none about the LOSH databank and will ask question when she is lost or needs to know something.

Possibly will give her a secret identity... still thinking on that

Yeah, give Night Girl at least a name. Also, maybe a little more background. How did she get her powers? Where is she from? Family? Friendships? A nemesis? All that jazz. And please reformat your character sub to make it look like the guidelines. Once thats done, you're auto-approved.

...And, for your trouble, a bit of world building by the me:

Omnicron = The LoSH databank is called the Omnicron. Its a collection of all the Legion's information about themselves and what they have encountered as well as a database of all the collective forbidden knowledge about the lost Herioc Age (the 1940s-the 2100s, when DC superheroes fought for truth justice and whatever else). It also has scraps of information about the alternate/possible future called One Million, in which the Legioniarres goals have been achieved and benevolent super-herioc dynasties rule a utopian anarchic society.

It has post-Turing fifth level intelligence (smart enough to talk like a human, but not to do much else). It is available to every Legionairre through their flight ring or through a special piggyback connection on the UP 'Net.

But moving on: The Nite Crow says...

Okay, from what I just read I presume that you meant we had to be approved on here before we post on the IC.

Yes, thats what I meant. If I was unclear... oh, damn!

And BTW, Nitecrow, yeah, you're approved.

If I'm approved to join, and you need some help Gnu_Blade, I'd be happy to help.

Thanks. I might take you up on that. In fact, wanna mod this thing for a week because I'm leaving the US of A for your neck of the woods like.... tomorrow?

Also, what do you mean by tagging characters? I think I get what you mean but I'm not entirely sure.

A tag is a little note at the end of a post to let the other Rpers know who else is in the scene and who needs to speak next. Say this is a mini RP and the character Joe is talking to Jim while Jay stands around and Jill is walking by. Joe says "jeepers" to Jim and calls Jill a "jerk". So the tag would look something like: Tag> Jim, Jill. That way whoever is Rping Jim and Jill know that they have to read the post and figure out how to respond to "Jeepers" and "Jerk" respectively.

Get it now?

I've left out any mention of the legion, because I don't know how you want that to go, or if Garth is still a founding member or what.

I have no idea how we'll start. I probably won't get my character submitted till after I get back from my trip. But right now, subject to change without notice, I'm thinking that we'll start with an already up and running Legion and jump right into either Try-Outs or a major threat.

Sure, i'd be happy to. Why don't you send me a PM telling me what you want me to do, and what you don't want me to do ect.
 
Navahl, it seems your picture didn't get posted for some reason. Do you have a link to it? Other than that, you, my friend, are approved.
 
Yes! We've got like three new players already! and that not even including me! Way. To. Go. Peoples!

It looks like the Legion OCC is up and running...
