Well, here we go again, another Titans thread.
In the wake of a war between the Justice League and the Legion of Doom, the Brotherhood of Evil tries to take control of New York City. The Doom Patrol gathers whatever heroes they can in the area and confronts the Brotherhood, eventually thwarting their plans. Meanwhile, the Legion of Doom is defeated and peace returns for a while.
The Doom Patrol departs from New York, but the heroes who gathered to help them are inspired by each other, agreeing to remain a team and fight together. They become the Titans, and set up headquarters in an old abandoned school. Led by Nightwing, they remodel the school and make themselves known in New York, fighting various criminals that surface from time to time as well as rescuing people from fires and other disasters.
It has now been two years since the Titans formed. In that time they have yet to face a serious villain, but that is all about to change. As we start the game, a normal night patrol turns into a massive battle as they witness a team of four Ninja hijacking a semi truck. They just barely manage to defeat them, and thus starts a rivalry between the Titans and the Shadow Court.
They eventually discover the leader of the Shadow Court is Master Slade, an elite Ninja and Associate of the Dojima Yakuza Family in Tokyo. Slade killed his former master and began training the Dojima Family in Ninjutsu, and was later selected to expand their operations in America. His real name is Kyozu Sakimoto, but he took the name Slade after slaying his master.
As we get further into the adventure, Slade is visited by a mysterious figure masked in darkness, who is later revealed to be Brother Sebastian (Brother Blood), a representative of the Church of Trigon. Trigonists believe their Dark Lord will one day return from Azarath, the hell-like prison realm created to seal him away in ancient times. However, every so often, Lord Trigon is able to reach into our world for a few brief moments, pulling people back to Azarath with him. Through this method, he managed to attain several wives and children.
The first time he reached back into our world, however, he had managed to send some of his power to the darkest soul he could sense in the area -- Akasha, and Ancient Egyptian queen. She became the first vampire, and sired thousands of others. They formed the early versions of what would become the Church of Trigon, worshipping their Dark Lord as a god.
In the thousands of years since, becoming a vampire has been considered a baptism of sorts in order to truly follow Trigonism.
Somewhere along the line, the Shadow Court and the Trigonists work together to rob certain artifacts from various museums, preparing for some massive ritual to revive Trigon sooner. Until his resurrection is complete, the Titans get to deal with the Children of Trigon.
So, what do you guys thinks? The Shadow Court can hire Associates, meaning various local villians to help them out. With these several story arcs, we have enough story to last a long time, plus smaller arcs we create as we go to throw inbetween the major ones.
I will be playing Nightwing, Slade, Brother Sebastian, Trigon, and a son of Trigon called Caleb. Profiles will be along tomorrow or the next day.

If you want, we can do like we did before, say that Dick and Roy started out as a duo prior to the Brotherhood vs. Doom Patrol event. Though, this time they can all live at the school/hq. We'll say they took old classrooms and offices and turned them into bedrooms and dens and whatnot. The cafeteria can act as the dining room/conference room, hehe.
