And maybe they had this coming."</em> - John Constantine<br><br>Interest Check Thread (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=190470.0)<br>The IC Thread<br><br>Welcome to the DC Comics: Last Age OOC thread. Game's just getting started, still plenty of spots open. Below you'll find all the information you should need to get a CS posted.

Naturally, people turn to superheroes for guidance and leadership—but years of this new order have left many of the heroes into a power hungry and politically motivated Noble class with mortal men and women as peasants. <br><br>The heroes have divided into Houses, with Superman and his now-wife Wonder Woman leading the House of Steel and controlling most of North America and sections of South America, while Captain Marvel and family have established their own domain out of Europe as the House of Thunder. There's also a House of Titans (former Teen Titans), a House of Justice (ex-Justice League members) and so on, but Steel and Thunder are the most powerful.<br><br>The remaining supervillains have likewise established their own Houses, most notable among them led by the Joker, the House of Laughs, and Lex Luthor, the House of Secrets after a worldwide purge of villains following the degradation of world governments.&nbsp; Batman leads the non-powered heroes in an effort to overthrow the two dominant Houses. All aliens, including the Green Lanterns, have been banished. But everyone soon gets involved in a plot to destroy the Houses of Thunder and Steel before a wedding between between their Houses unites them into potentially the most powerful force in the universe.<br><br><br></div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">OOC Information</div><div class="spoiler_body"><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>I'm currently the only GM/storyteller for the game.

No one ever talked about the end of Krypton except in science class, as some event that was bound to happen at some future time so far ahead in time it was difficult to fathom. It took Kara's father an hour to convince her that he was serious, that he wasn't making some cruel jape: the end of her home, the end of her life, the end of everything and everyone she held dear. The doom of Krypton. <br><br>When she refused to get into some space ship, to leave her family and her friends, her father painlessly slipped her into unconciousness and locked her into the capsule himself. Sometimes Kara dreams about her mother crying, and sometimes Kara isn't so sure it's a dream, but a memory. Instead of immediately reaching it's destination like her cousin's space ship, Kara's is thrown off course by the explosion of Krypton--40 years off course. When she lands outside of Gotham City she finds herself an alien to a strange world.<br><br>Kara is quickly recovered and taken in by her cousin, Kal-El, and his wife, Diana. On this alien planet her cousin is a God, a monarch ruling over a vast empire. Though Kara finds a high standard of living, justice is swift and immediate in Superman's reign, treason rooted out and extinguished at it's source. With his House of Steel, Superman begins the long process of assimilating Kara Zor-El into Kara Kent, of Earth. Though he uses Kryptonian technology to aid in Kara's Terran education, her cousin forbids Kara from calling herself 'Zor-El', or calling him 'Kal-El'. Aliens are banned by the Great Houses, he explains, and they are simple folk from Kansas. Her crashlanding on the planet is quickly covered up, and though it feels wrong, Kara plays along.<br><br>It's only when Kara begins to show flashes of equaling her baby cousin in raw power does Superman decide to isolate Kara, explaining she wasn't ready to go out on her own with villains like the Batman ready to strike. If Superman knew Bruce Wayne, Superman knew the man would try to twist Kara to his own fanatical goals. Inside Metropolis, Kara would be safe from manipulation.<br><br>Batman never came for Supergirl, though her cousin's paranoia about the man had launched Kara into a mission to discover what she could on him. More importantly, Kara's isolation had unintended consequences: Diana's seduction of Kara, and their plot to overthrow Superman. When suddenly one day Superman vanished, Kara was as concerned and upset as any in the House of Steel. Though the agents of House Steel continue their search, nearly a year later and no sign of Superman has yet to turn up. <br><br>Supergirl has recently become a public figure, a member of House Steel, and some have rumored the lover taken by the new Head of House Steel, Princess Diana. And unknown to to those within the House of Steel, Kara has begun to talk, quietly, to select members of the other Houses.<br><br>&nbsp;<br><strong>OOC Notes:</strong><br><br>Takes Superman's place as 'biggest cape on the block' following Kal-El's dissapearance/death.<br><br></div></div>

The formula worked on Jesse as well and she gained super-speed and flight.&nbsp; Jesse also inherited her mother's super-strength, enabling her to lift great weights with ease.&nbsp; When she's not fighting crime, she's managing Quickstart Enterprises, a media company and a TV channel founded by her father.<br><br>Rick was the son of Rex Tyler (Hourman I), who uses the drug Miraclo, which grants him super strength, speed, agility, reflexes and durability for a full hour. Rick became the second Hourman when the Crisis on Infinite Earths threatened all of reality, and he used one of his dad's Miraclo pills to save the life of Beth Chapel, whom he grew quite fond of.&nbsp; With the help of Rex's old teammate, Johnny Chambers, both Rex and Rick learned to tap into their superhuman powers without the use of Miraclo and instead using his mind-focusing technique.&nbsp; An Hourman android also gave Rick a special hourglass that caused him to experience random visions of one hour in the future.<br><br>Jesse and Rick were both members of the Justice Society of America and grew close ever since they started working together, eventually leading to them getting married and starting a family together.&nbsp; John Tyler, whom was named after Jesse's father, inherited his mother's super-strength and was taught the same formula that gave Jesse her flight and super-speed.&nbsp; During his teenage years, he became the second Johnny Quick and joined the Teen Titans.<br><br>Believing that Miraclo would one day allow mere mortals to challenge the House of Steel, Superman issued an attack on Rex Tyler's company, TylerCo.&nbsp; Rick was visiting his wife at her office at Quickstart when they were attacked by Superman.&nbsp; The resulting fight that ensued destroyed the entire building and ended with Jesse Quick and Hourman II's death.&nbsp; Upon his parent's death, John took up the mantle of Hourman and inherited the special hourglass that allowed Rick to see one hour into the future.&nbsp; During his time as the fourth Hourman, he developed a stronger version of Miraclo.&nbsp; He continued researching and developing the drug, hoping to one day be able to amass enough power to destroy the House of Steel.<br><br><strong>OOC Notes:</strong><br>Without Miraclo, John Tyler can fly, travel faster than the speed of light, and lift over 50 tons.&nbsp; With Miraclo, he can enter the speed force, lift over 25 Megatons, see in the dark, and breathe underwater.</div></div>

Not only is she from an entirely different universe but (to complicate matters) she’s also Supergirl’s interdimensional twin, a titbit that she’s gone to great lengths to hide, from cutting her hair to donning an entirely new outfit and moniker. These changes combined with the fact that she was strangely more top heavy than her counterpart has left few to question her origins, that of another late survivor from Krypton. <br><br>It wasn’t exactly a lie as she did follow a similar existence to Supergirl although where their paths diverge would be with their landings on Earth.<br><br>In her universe, Power Girl fought alongside incredible men and women such as Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman; the people who took her in, trained her, cared for her and taught her how to adapt to life. With them, among others, she helped keep the Earth safe while forging both a reputation and a home on her new world. They were celebrated heroes in her universe and Pee-Gee was proud to stand with the three. She might have even felt a twinge of invincibility, at least until the day Darkseid arrived…<br><br>Darkseid was a powerful alien who commanded a formidable army, perhaps the greatest threat Earth had ever faced. Unlike most, this being could stand toe-to-toe with the likes of Superman while his shock troops, entities known as parademons, pressed the militaries of the world. He hit hard and he hit fast through a series of portals, immediately putting the heroes and humans on the back foot. While most battled against Darkseid’s forces, Power Girl was ordered to protect the areas where the least action could be found, much to her dismay. She knew her mission was important but she also felt near useless in the greater scheme of things, especially as the parademons marched deeper into her new home.<br><br>As the invasion progressed, hope began to dwindle, with the invaders pushing ever closer to victory. It was only at the very last moment, as always, that Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman managed to disable the towers which were fuelling Darkseid’s forces and save the day.<br><br>Unfortunately, the world’s safety came at a great cost, with the sacrifice of Wonder Woman, Batman and Superman. Power Girl was devastated over the loss but hardly found the time to mourn as she was suddenly engulfed by a random portal. Before she knew it, the universe had swallowed her up and spat her out into a completely different place and time, a twisted world where the heroes had taken on the roles of nobles and ruled Earth from a few powerful Houses. At first Power Girl was horrified but any thoughts of how "wrong" the world appeared swiftly vanished when she saw how “right” it was; Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman were all alive!<br><br>Deep down she knew that they weren’t the same people but hurriedly made contact nonetheless, picking a new outfit and pledging herself to the House of Steel under the title “Power Girl”. It came as some surprise when she learnt that Batman was now their mortal enemy but she was able to look beyond such facts when confronted with the faces of her cousin, Superman, and mentor, Wonder Woman.<br><br>She has been a loyal member of the House for two years now and one of the few who still seeks out the Man of Steel…<br><br><strong>OOC Notes:</strong><br>Power Girl introduced herself as a kryptonian but kept her identity as a second Supergirl to herself, afraid of the consequences should she be discovered. She has proven herself as a loyal member of the House of Steel although generally treats Superman and Wonder Woman with a hint of indifference, despite her adoration for them. As for Supergirl, she’s a little unsure of how she should approach her alternative self and so for some time has simply been avoiding her counterpart.</div></div>

While the Amazons were a fiercely matriarchal society, shunning any male presence, the realities of biology forced them to acquire males to breed, usually through raiding fishing vessels, often killing the sailors after the deed was done. In contrast, Diana's birth was celebrated as the ultimate achievement of the Amazonian goal, a child born without need for a man, fashioned from clay and given life by her mother's desire to procreate. This however, was not the true story, but a convenient tale fashioned by her mother to hide the true heritage of her daughter, as a scion of Zeus. Eventually the lie caught up with her, the jealous Hera discovering the fact that Diana was the product of another mortal affair of her husband Zeus. While her mother called for the Amazons to help fight of the wrath of Hera (free to act due to the current disappearance of Zeus), who had previously been an ally of the Amazons, many instead turned on Diana, blaming her for the ensuing conflict. In a final moment of rage, Diana went into self imposed exile, decrying both her mother and homeland and in the process, dropping of Hera's 'radar.'<br><br>During this time, Diana lived among a completely new kind of mortal society, one that did not shun male influence, in fact, on many occasions reversing the trend found on Themyscira, although not to the same extent. Opting to use her powers, now knowingly passed down via the blood of Zeus, for good, she became one of the first of the growing cadre of active super heroes. This allowed her, despite the power held by an Olympian, to hide in plain sight, among the first generation of American super heroes. It was during this time, in her first forays out of the homeland she had been raised in, that she first met Superman. With both of them sitting comfortably in the higher echelons of the first heroes, they connected over their separation from humanity and their homes. Clark Kent was a farm boy, who's vast superiority over humanity left him isolated and removed from the society he had grown up in, while Diana was shunned by the Amazons and possessed no connection to the land she now protected. The bond that originally brought them together as friends eventually resulted in a brief love affair, just as the Justice League was forming. Both of them were new, if not to their powers, but to the prospect of the league and public figures they became and their relationship became explosive, a confrontation of two egos backed up by some of the most powerful bodies in existence. In the end, after an intervention by the other league members, the activities of which were becoming compromised by their antics, this relationship came to an end. At this time, Diana finally chose to return home, seeking a momentary break from both the League and the farm-boy from Kansas.<br><br>Diana's return was rather warmer than she had expected, with the other gods of Olympus, namely Artemis and Hephaestus, rallying in defence of the Amazonian cause, Hera had become unable to act directly against them, particularly as she was more intent on protecting her claim to the throne of Olympus over Hades and Poseidon, than dishing out vengeance on Zeus' many mortal children. For several months, Diana was happy to be herself again, the Princess of the Amazons as she had been raised, even if some lingering tension with her mother persisted over the life-long lie. However, she was unable to completely abandon the life she had developed in America, and so eventually resolved to life a life split between her two homes, helping the JLA, while also representing the needs of the Amazons in 'the world of men,' something that had never been achieved before. While a smouldering affection still persisted between herself and Superman, both had moved on to other individuals, Clark Kent finding comfort in the arms of Lois Lane and Diana with Mary Tanner, a police detective in Miami. This life was not one to last, and John Constantine's message was the hammer that destroyed it. Diana argued very strongly in favour for the Justice League to take further control, to safeguard against the future, which not only resulted in the end of her relationship with a certain detective, but also further confrontation with her mother. The Amazons had little interest in the concept of global rule, having survived long in isolation. This would become one of the first proving grounds of Diana's mettle in supporting the message she spoke, and one of the most direct. While the Queen may have spoken for the Amazons, a large contingent still agreed with Diana, fearing that the world of men, left to its own devices, would bring about the end of more than just their way of life, so when Diana set foot on Themyscira, intent on coming to some agreement with her mother, they rose up, spreading violence across the secluded isle. This attack, even if Diana had not intended it, hardened the Loyalists views on the matter, who now demanded that Diana be banished from her homeland and that the island be left alone. Galvanized by such demand, Diana threw her weight behind the rebels, imprisoning her own mother, declaring herself Queen of the Amazons, before aligning them with the new world order.<br><br>Across the world humanity took comfort in the protection of the heroes after the dire message delivered to them, but there was still heavy resistance from a militant minority, which not only resulted in the death of Lois Lane, but also in Diana once more working very closely together with Superman, to put an end to such resistance. While a number of years would pass before their flame would be rekindled, over this time they grew increasingly closer, eventually resulting in their marriage five years after John Constantine's message. Over time however, the constant presence of power, of the political kind, began to affect Diana's mindset. While she still perceived herself as doing good, ultimate power became normal, and so her views on things distorted. Defaulting to the highly selective nature of Amazonian culture, Diana perceived an innate superiority over the masses of humanity. No longer were the heroes guardians, they were shepherds, and the House of Steel was the greatest among them. As this change took place, she slowly began to grow discontent over her situation with Superman, to play second to him, like the housewives of the world of men, not the Queen of the Amazons. Eventually this overtook her love for him, twisting it until her own desires far outweighed any concern for him.<br><br>This was not helped by the presence of Super Girl, who to Diana, provided everything Clark was without the drawback of being secondary to the Man of Steel. An individual of potentially equal power to help safeguard the position of the House, without the established superiority and leadership. Furthermore, the young Kara Kent was similarly attractive as Clark (albeit very differently) and Diana found herself drawn to her in much the same way as she had first felt with Clark. While it may have been a stretch to call it true love, a political idea soon became one of emotion to. When Superman disappeared, Diana led the national mourning, present as both the new head of the House of Steel and the suspected widow of its namesake, but in private, her plans were coming to fruition, still the house is ruled by an Amazon and Kryptonian, but no more does the demi-god bow to the alien.<br><br><strong>OOC Notes:</strong><br><br>Strays from canon before the Constantine event, but I didn't particularly feel like writing the massive war of the Gods into it. Expect a character that isn't quite as far gone into simple corruption as Injustice, but also one that is rather more competent at scheming...and less of blind follower.<br><br></div></div></div>

In order to do this after he discovered the Robin Hood stories to take up thrill seeking like extreme sports and learning to pick pockets. This led to him doing things as dangerous as base jumping and things that gave him a bad reputation like stealing. Eventually he became good at everything he tried. He developed a sliver tongue to get out of trouble and a nack for getting into fights witch made him a capable street fighter. Eventually he met a man named Tommy Merlin and befriended the boy and together they gained a reputation as the wild kids in Star City.<br><br>After high school Oliver went on to M.I.T. and graduated top of his class in business management. Together with Tommy they Rich boy opened up a successful night club. Proving that he could handle the pressure of running his own company Oliver's dad announced that Ollie would be the next man to run Queen industries when Henry stepped down. Soon after Oliver was approached by a man who attempted to pressure him into selling drugs for a dealer named China White at Ollie's club. When Oliver refused the man attacked and injured Oliver. To get revenge on the man that injured him Oliver went threw many illegal sources and contacted Natas. After promising to pay Natas an insane amount of money Natas agreed to teach Oliver how to fight however before he could seek out his revenge Henry took Oliver out on the family boat the Queens Gambit for a surprise party. China White had gotten wind of the departure of Oliver from Star City and decided that if he wouldn't sell her drugs at his club then she would make an example of him. Sending an in-force'r after Oliver shortly after Oliver and his father set sail the assassin gave chase. After one month at sea heading south the assassin boarded The Queens Gambit in the dead of night and planted charges of explosives around the boat and quickly departed from the ship. One day later he set the charges and blew up the Queens Gambit causing the death of Henry Queen and the ship remains to sink to the bottom of the Ocean. Being thrown from the ship by the explosion the injured Oliver drifted for days on a fragment of the ship until he washed up on what he would later learn was starfish Isle.<br><br>The next five years of Oliver's life was a living nightmare, when he washed up on the isle he had no water, no food and no way to get home. Finding a dry safe spot on the beach of the isle Oliver set out to explore the land slowly making marks in trees that he would understand and made a system to navigate the Isle by markings. After finding strong branches and vines deep in the jungle woods of the Island he fashioned the strongest branch into a make shift bow and made very crude arrows. While struggling at first eventually Oliver learned the art of stealth and hunting to find food. Slowly the Island turned him into a self reliant man. While on the Island he gained the skills to track, hunt, fire his bow at master levels and the acrobatic skills needed to navigate the jungle quickly. One night while hunting for food Oliver caught the sound of men talking. Surprised Oliver hid and waited for the men to pass him by. He was amazed to see that they were extremely well armed and prepared for the dangers of the Island. Ollie cautiously began to follow the pair of oblivious men as they led him to a large field of poppies being harvested to make heroin by island natives that were being enslaved. As Oliver started to formulate a plan in his head to help the natives and destroy the heroine he recognized the mark of China White on the labels that marked the heroin "brand". Anger slowly boiled over in Ollie's body and without putting much thought into it Ollie lit an arrow shaft on fire and sent the blazing shaft into the field of poppies causing them to almost instantly set fire. Sinking back into the jungle he could hear a woman shouting commands to the men to salvage what they could and move to the plane. Oliver came back to the camp to find the China White and attacked her in the burning field. After a furious battle Oliver managed to slip his hand into the pocket of China and pull out her gps and key to the plane before tossing her into the fire he had caused and fled to the plane while she screamed in pain as her body set fire. Killing the men under her employment while making his way to the small plane. He boarded the sea plane and after a rocky start managed to get far enough away from the isle to be rescued by fishermen after running out of fuel and landing the plane in the middle of the water close to Florida. The fishermen helped Oliver get home where he was welcomed back by his friends. <br><br>Oliver soon found out that the five years he was gone many changes to his home had been made. His mother died due to a heart attack after the news of his disappearance, Tommy had run his club into the ground and his family's company had went under. The Star City he had come home to was not the city he left, it went from a thriving community to a city riddled with crime and corruption. After moving in with Tommy and bringing his club back from the ruin it had came to in his absence, Oliver vowed to never take what he had for granted ever again. Now changed by the Island he grew to hate the corruption that had befallen Star City and began to study politics and at the same time secretly assembled a small army's worth of arrows and various leathers and armors. After two more years the now 29 year old man had become a noted activist for the poor and was moonlighting as what the papers were calling "The hood" Oliver soon started to tell the drug dealers he was crippling that his name was "Green Arrow" and they should tell their bosses that "Arrow" was coming for them. By day Oliver was running for Mayor and by night he was taking the drugs off the streets. Eventually he became the Mayor of Star City and used his power to "hunt" the Green Arrow down while actually gaining more fame and spreading the name around so that he could gain the attention of the more well known heroes... after joining the league and being a member for a long time he was told about the problems in the future and was the first to volunteer to go to the future to try and help.</div></div><br><strong>OOC Notes:</strong>I have played alot of Green Arrow in other past games and I hope to keep his story going. If you need some sample posts feel free to ask for them.</div></div>

				Every application thus far is approved. Congrats!<br><br>Just put 'The Free States' for Ollie. It's the remains of world governments in exile, but mostly led by Mr. Fox of Wayne Enterprises out of Singapore, Manila, and Australia. In reality it's mostly ran by Batman, who is Richard Grayson, but not everyone knows that. His chief lieutenant is Helena Wayne, Bruce's daughter. Ollie would know everything, naturally. <br><br>Helena is an NPC I'm using to tell the story through; meaning she's a storyteller NPC. Another character I'm playing because the story needs it. So feel free to interact/plot with her like she's just another character of mine.

				Superman's been gone for an entire year which is probably why Power Girl is starting to reach in her investigation (out of desperation) but the main reasons she feels Wonder Woman is involved is because she stands the most to gain, Pee-Gee is also aware of the rumours of the princess's relationship with Supergirl which only adds to her suspicion.

				Name: Red Robin (Tim Drake)<br><br>Age: 41<br><br>Affilitation: The Free States<br><br>Appearance: <br>(http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii130/alexgprb/2579904-551987_442148462493524_1125856125_n.jpg) (http://s263.photobucket.com/user/alexgprb/media/2579904-551987_442148462493524_1125856125_n.jpg.html)<br><br>Biography:<br><br>Tim Drake earned his introduction into the Bat Family by deducing Batman's secret identity from a handful of clues. He was, eventually, taken in as the third Robin and trained in martial arts, acrobatics, and (most importantly to Tim) detective work. During his time as Robin, Tim had adventures and intrigues too numerous to count, but being a hero took a heavy toll on his life. His father was killed by Captain Boomerang, his girlfriend Stephanie Brown was feared dead in Black Mask's gang war, and he constantly lost friends to the various villains that he fought. All of this contributed to an increasingly withdrawn personality that was at times abrasive, alienating team members of the Titans. Eventually he snapped (despite the reappearance of Stephanie Brown), causing him to leave behind the mantle of Robin (that had anyway been offered to someone else) and taking up the mantle of Red Robin, before going on to work as an online networking source for younger heroes.<br><br>After John Constantine's message from the future Tim returned to Gotham to help contain a riot that had broken out in the quickly lawless city. He was approached by his mentor, Batman, who postulated a world that was quickly going to spin out of control. Bruce suggested a scheme where the world leaders were taken to safety away from the all-seeing eyes of the organisation that would eventually become the House of Steel. Tim reluctantly agreed to help, having seen in Gotham how quickly the situation could get out of hand, operating with Spoiler to collect key heads of state before anyone else could reach them. As Red Robin, Tim was instrumental in securing the President of the United States in a widely filmed event that led to the partial destruction of the White House.<br><br>En route to secure the Queen of England, and her cabinet, in their own Batwing Tim and Stephanie were intercepted by Captain Marvel Jr. who informed the pair that they were trespassing in the territory of the House of Thunder. Tim made an attempt to evade Marvel, but the wing was ripped off of his plane by the enraged superhero. Realising his situation was lost he hit the ejector seat, blasting Stephanie to safety, whilst he tried to maintain a course in order to distract Marvel. The Batwing crashed into a field in England and Tim was quickly captured.<br><br>Three years later there was a breakout at the Batson Maximum Security Facility in Paris. Beaten, bruised, and malnourished, Tim began to make his way back towards the United States and his family. He fled across half of Europe to find a port where he could steal a boat, moving from resistance group to resistance group as he did, ever hunted by the House of Thunder. Eventually he made it to the fishing port of Vigo, in Spain, where he managed to secure a ship that would take him where he needed to go. When he finally made it back to the States, he realised that the situation had changed hugely. He'd heard rumours of the power of the House of Steel, but not seen the proof of it until now.<br><br>Although he spent five of the first seven years after Constantine's message away from the Free States, Tim was still accepted back into the group (after a number of rigorous tests for mental conditioning). He generally serves on his own, still scarred by his time in captivity. The main use for Tim as time goes on has been as liaison to the House of Titan, one of the few relatively friendly groups left in the world. Red Robin is generally known to be a bitter, withdrawn figure that does little to improve the mood of a situation.<br><br>OOC Notes: I've mixed and matched Tim's origins from the old DCverse with the New 52, just because I think some of the new stuff is crap.

Everything else pretty much makes sense. Not trying to stop it as a plot point, just working out what PeeGee would and wouldn't know etc.

Everything else pretty much makes sense. Not trying to stop it as a plot point, just working out what PeeGee would and wouldn't know etc.<br></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br>Oh, when I said she'd "voice her concern", I meant with Diana directly, not with anyone else. She's not going to "use" anything against her. Deep down, she still sees her own Wonder Woman when she looks at the current one so she'll confront her on issues but she'll never do anything to drag her down in the house.

Garth, Ayla, and their older brother Mekt were joy riding when their ship lost power and came down on the world of Korbal. They devised a scheme to recharge their ship's energy cells using the electrical energy of Korbal's lightning beasts. They underestimated the beasts' power and were all bathed in bio-electric energy. After their return with new found powers, Mekt disappeared. Garth left home to look for his brother. On his journey he helped two other super powered teenagers foil the assassination of philanthropist R.J. Brande. Brande suggested they form a team - the Legion of Super-Heroes. Garth assumed the name Lightning Boy initially, but switched to Lightning Lad. <br><br>However, life began to dull for Lightning Lad as time went by. He found that his future world was far past its prime, and that all the Villians and threats his world faced were not the same as the ones he'd learned about in his history books and museums. He craved for a far better life, an exciting one, one that he would not be able to obtain if he stayed within his own time. He began to deeply study a story in the history books about a diluted timeline, one where the ending was un-finished. A story set a few hundred years ago, where time was distorted and heroes were summoned to from past and future, several iconic superheroes and heroines were members of houses, and an all-out war was threatening to arise. Yet, there was no ending, and all the books simply stopped after stating the history of the events and what was to happen. <br><br>Garth had found it, the place he was looking for, the one true time-line with no ending that he already knew, where every major Villian and Hero clashed and allied. It was then that he used his Legionnare ring's time-travelling ability one last time, to shift himself into the timeline stated and landing himself in House of Thunder, where he was greeted by Captain Marvel himself, and donned the name of <strong>Live Wire.</strong><br><br><br><br><strong>OOC Notes:</strong> <strong>Powers:</strong> Live Wire 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" (in some undisclosed way his power prevents these bolts from taking the path of least resistance to Earth, such that he is able to target objects with great accuracy). He can also create flashing lettering which can been seen from great distances. He has occasionally displayed a limited control of weather. In more recent versions of the character, Garth is also able to direct his electric powers internally so as to move at superhuman speed, with his top speed being approximately one-third the speed of light. Lightning Lad is immune to the harmful effects of electric currents, not only those currents which he himself generates. He can also reduce the force of his bolts so that they will only stun. He can send his electricity through conductive metals. He has a degree of immunity to electrical charge; in fact, they give him more strength to use his power. In some instances he has a robotic right arm that is powered by his lightning power.<br><br><strong>Equipment:</strong> As a member of the Legion of Super-Heroes, Live Wire possesses a Legion Flight Ring. The ring gives its wearer the ability to fly, the speed and range of which is determined by the wearer's willpower. It also acts as a long-range communicator (enabling constant vocal contact with other Legionnaires, even across vast distances of space), a signal device, and a navigational compass, all powered by a micro-computer built inside the ring.<br>[/quote]

I guess it would be more of a contrast if she was working with some heroes from the Free States, but then, why would they see her as any different from the Houses they are trying to overthrow?

				The IC thread! Yay! &nbsp;(http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=192474.0)<br><br>So instead of let this killer post kill me, it <em>finally</em> dawned on me to cut it into smaller--more manageable--parts. And so I have. The OP of the IC thread is part one of what would have been a four part post. Or, rather, the first scene of a four scene post. But long winded as I am, and having lost my 3/4 of the way finished first draft, what with my suddenly batshit crazy holiday life schedule, this approach carried the day.<br><br>But a bonus to breaking the OP down is:&nbsp; 1) The IC thread actually gets posted, yay! So if you want to get into your character and get something to post, you can. 2) I can see how folks want to approach the sequencing of scenes. <br><br>I have one more solo scene (meaning only me writing) before I need to do a House Steel scene (probably start Di/Kara, then have whoever wants to come in), then the group scene.<br><br>Still a little stuck on what kept me not doing Scene 4 before losing Scenes 1-3 because I had to keep the notepad open for days while no good ideas came to me. And then, predictably, it crashed. This happens to me often. But back to Scene 4: how to get EVERYONE at the same place, same time?<br><br>My only thought is House Steel throws a Christmas party, and invites even people on their enemies list and kill on sight list. Maybe she'd invite the Bat family to give them to chance to return to Wayne Manor/Gotham/Batcave for a few days? I dunno. It does seem post-Superman's death that some diplomatic scramble would ensue. And a giant Christmas party could fit the impromptu event bill.<br><br>If anyone has a better idea, throw it out there. If not, I'll start plotting that out.<br><br>Sorry it took so long. &lt;3

				So I was just browsing the internet, searching for realistic armours and such, when I bumped into this:<br><br>(http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy103/TrashyMe/diana_of_themyscira_by_rahzzah-d5piype_zps325c3312.jpg)<br><br>It took me a moment to realize who it was!

				That armour is actually awesome, Scribbles! O:<br><br>Also, POOOOSTED. So happy I finally sat down and let it all flow, it's a little lengthy but only because there's alot to highlight and explain about Live Wire's presence. He actually just accidentally found Pee-Gee, Scribbles. Ahaha, that was a fun post to write.

				What if we said that the House of Steel had recently captured a number of The Free States' supporters and Green Arrow had come to negotiate their possible release? We could even claim that Power Girl was the one to capture them, giving him some reason to approach her directly. It would certainly give us something to RP around.<br><br>Ascia, would this be okay?

				Well, Diana will be calling the present members of House Steel in the Citadel to&nbsp; meeting in their main hall, our two guests are welcome to come along, it won't exactly be super secret so it would be a good time for them to air their respective cases.<br><br>Ones their done oogling PeeGee that is ;)

				That would work :) though, I'm not sure how welcome Green Arrow would be in a meeting since he's not exactly friendly :P I imagine him totally sneaking through the vents or something and doing some spying for the Free States, maybe try and get information on the location of the prisoners to attempt rescue. <br><br>Just seems more logical in this situation.

House Steel wants to get a feel for who's a friend, who's not, who they can talk to who's not a friend, and maybe see if they can turn former foes into new friends now that Superman's gone, and things are changed. Just as much as I imagine the Free States folk want to see if House Steel has changed at all post Superman, whether the new regime means a different way of doing things. Ditto House Titan, House Thunder, House Justice, etc. <br><br>I've given each IC post a read, and I'm really impressed, very cool posts! I owe someone feedback on their IC post, and I'll try to re-read and send that PM maybe tomorrow or the day after. I have Christmas Eve dinner and wrapping and family and all the craziness, so today or tomorrow might be difficult. But I do love me some hot coco and post reading, so who knows. ^_^<br><br>If Scribbles/Rave want to do the prisoner idea, I'm all for it. Feel free. <br><br>And soon as I get to settle down and re-read the IC, I'll offer some suggestions for you, Batman. Likewise if you have an idea where you want to start and you're just not sure if it would 'work' with the game set up, go ahead and PM me any ideas you have and we can try to make them work.
