Based on both classic and modern versions of the Teen Titans and other 'teen sidekick' character, the show was noted for the writing quality of it's story arcs. Season 1 introduced the Core members of the Team: Robin (Dick Grayson), Kid Flash (Wally West), Aqualad (Kaldur'ahm), Superboy (Kon-El), Speedy/Red Arrow, Miss Maritian, and a new character named Artemis (Artemis Crook, another protoge of Green Arrow's). Season 2 took place five years later and saw a vastly expanded roster; but the time Season 2 was over, the roster had stretched to over 20 members, but several poosible recruits and a few characters whose civilian IDs were shown, but had yet to become heroes.<br/><br/>The game's timeline will start about six months after the events of Season 2, leading into events hinted at in the finale where a Season 3 would have gone.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler for the end of Season 2-You have been Warned!</div><div class="spoiler_body">The final, climatic battle between the Team and their mentors in the Justice League against the invading aliens called The Reach saw many of the supervillains allied with The Reach captured or killed (good thing Ra's has those Lazaarus Pits), and The Reach driven off Earth. The fight carried a heavy price, though, as Kid Flash disappears and is presumed dead when he tries to help Flash and Impulse create a vortex to counter an energy field destabilizing Earth's magnetic field; Kid Flash's speed was too slow compared to the other two, and his slower speed lead to the energy dissipating through him and taking Wally long with it. With the League and the Team in morning, the final scene is Vandal Savage reaching Apokolypse and sealing an aliance with Darkseid</div></div><br/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">How are things going to be organized?</span></div><br/>There are two IC threads to chronicle the public events and scenes that occur.<br/><br/><strong>The Watchtower</strong>: This thread is for all events and group action scenes<br/>Young Justice: The Watchtower (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=204192.0)<br/><br/><strong>The Rec Room</strong>: This thread is for all group public social scenes<br/>Young Justice: The Rec Room (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=204193.0)<br/><br/>Additionally, threads will be made for smaller scenes involving subplots, one-on-one scenes, backlogged events, and private RP scenes<br/><br/>Continuity will be kept using a header system inspired by the 'Location/Date/Time' stamp featured in the cartoon.<br/><br/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">What Characters are available?</span></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Roster for The Team</div><div class="spoiler_body">*=one of the founding members<br/><br/>Nightwing*<br/>Superboy*<br/>Kid Flash*<br/>Aqualad*<br/>Miss Martian*<br/>Tigress/Artemis*<br/>Red Arrow<br/>Batgirl<br/>Robin (Tim Drake)<br/>Guardian (Mal Duncan)<br/>Bumblebee<br/>Beast Boy<br/>Wonder Girl<br/>Blue Beetle<br/>Impulse<br/>Lagoon Boy<br/>Static<br/>Zatanna (former member now with the Justice League)<br/>Rocket (former member now with the Justice League)<br/>Arsenal (joined briefly, but left the team)<br/>Longshadow (offered membership but currently declined)<br/>Samurai (offered membership but currently declined)<br/>Ed Dorado (offered membership but currently declined)<br/><br/>A list of all Justice League and Team members including wiki entries (http://youngjustice.wikia.com/wiki/Designation)<br/></div></div><br/>There are several characters from the history of the Titans, and from the original Young Justice comic that were either never shown or had minor parts.
