Fandom Gotham Academy

The Magnificent Manbeard
Basically, a teenage version of the Justice League based in Gotham City, New Jersey. Our characters are all students at Gotham Academy, mostly between ages 13 and 18. At the start of the RP, metahumans aren't really commonplace. But mysterious events at STAR Labs lead to young people being kidnapped and then returned home, but altered. When some of these events and supervillains cropping up lead back to Carmine Falcone and the fabled Court of Owls, 17-year old Bruce Wayne puts his martial arts training to the test and becomes a costumed vigilante the media labels "the Dark Knight." He won't assume the role of Batman until some time later.

Our characters are the team of teenagers Bruce puts together to fight this new wave of supervillains. You can be normal humans, kids who were kidnapped and altered, metahumans by some other method, secret practitioners of magic, or aliens masquerading as human. But one thing to keep in mind is that prior to the start of the rp, super powers and magic and aliens are not public knowledge.
 
I'm interested. Would it be the characters of the current Justice League, just as teenagers or would they be our own characters?
 
As Kaera said, would the characters be teenage versions of the actual JLA or own characters?
 
Awesome! I wanted to know so I could go and decide who I’m claiming if it wasn’t own characters aha. Thank you for clearing that up!
 
You can play existing characters adjusted for this RP or make your own OCs. You can play pretty much any DC character, so long as they are not too OP and they are portrayed as teenagers attending Gotham Academy. I will also be playing a version of Jerome Velaska from the Gotham tv series who transforms into the Joker through the RP, a teenage Lex Luthor who starts out helping the heroes but gradually turns into a villain, and Werner Zytle/Count Vertigo, a young drug lord who works for Falcone. You can also play villains if you'd like. I will not claim Superman at first since I am already playing Batman, but if no one claims him I may adapt Clark Kent into the story later on. Though if someone does, I ask that you dial his powers back some so he's not too OP.
 
Nah I'll think I'll make an OC. I'm actually really excited for this because I already have a plan for my character. Although I might find a DC hero I want to play too... I'm looking forward to this.
 
Okay :D. Who is everyone else interested in playing? At some point in the story, we could have Abin Sur crash-land outside Gotham and the crash site has military and government agents swarming all over the place. Then Sur dies and his Green Lantern ring finds a new host, perhaps Hal Jordan as a young Air Force officer or some other character.
 
I was thinking of maybe claiming Zatanna. I freaking love her aha. But I'll also be creating my own character
 
Kaera, Zatanna would be an awesome addition to the group :D. DatBoi, feel free to reserve Wonder Woman, but everyone please keep in mind powers and magic and aliens are not common knowledge yet. To the general public, the world is largely the same as the real world. After the coming Metahuman Crisis, then these things become publicly known.

DatBoi, as for Damian Wayne, he isn't even born yet given that Bruce is only 17, lol. You could play him as a younger brother or distant cousin, but Bruce isn't really ready to have a sidekick right from the getgo, so you would need to play him as his own hero independent of Batman.
 
Zatanna's one of my favourite DC characters by far. Besides, she can basically use magic without people knowing she's actually using magic 'cause she's a stage magician too haha.
 
I'd prefer a couple of OCs if that's ok.

Yeah I was going to play him as a random kid, but i'm rethinking that. I revoke my reserve...if that makes sense.
