Ideas:

Yeah. And like in most TV shows they could have a few places that can be a usual hang-out place. The boardwalk could have an arcade, a place to eat, etc. So I think that'd be a cool change after we give them the experience of city life. Mhm! I think if he does have to battle the team, he won't go for Evadne. But it's sort of like with Artemis and Cheshire where they're enemies, but they don't want the other dead. Yeah, I could see them being in the same situation. Castor (I decided on that on, I was actually leaning towards it myself) doesn't have Evadne's temper, so he'd probably get along with Luke a lot better. That's true. And yeah, I agree. It'd be interesting to see how that turns out all in all when we get to it. M'kay! I'll be here. ^^

Responding to this here because it's important and I'm sorry I had to sign off. ^^; But I agree; it'd be nice for them to have a change of scenery, especially after everything they go through, it'll be nice to write or at least mention some tender moments between them all. Yes, that makes perfect sense to me; and that will make him an interesting character. If he does end up an enemy of the team, we do know he won't be all bad. And yes, the idea of their friendship really inspires me to make Luke a more recurring villain instead of just a one or two shot character. Perhaps he and Evadne's brother could adopt a role similar to Cheshire's, in the idea that they're frequent enemies, but perhaps they're hired hens and not really acting on their own plan? The idea of that makes me want to reinvent the idea of Ben having a villainous sister; it'd be sort of interesting to see a recurring evil team like that. With all three of them having connections to team members too would make that interesting. But of course, that's all with your approval; I don't want to dictate that or anything. Let me know what you think. Yeah, Castor is a great name! I'm looking forward to seeing him in action. I'm also sorry I did end up poofing, but here this is. Let me know if it's all okay.

Yeah, after the Organization arc is through I assume the team will have maybe a few weeks of summer vacation left before we can move into Mystique's arc. So we can let them have a little down time and some time to settle after all of their development throughout the Org. arc. Yeah, same for me with Castor. I think I have a general idea worked out for his personality and it could work either way for him still I think. The need for cash after the Organization arc would probably at least be on Castor's mind, since I assume that he'll sneak off and disappear while his and Evadne's parents are locked up. That could be interesting, if she showed up after the Organization arc. It doesn't have to be in Mystique's arc either-- they could just run into them as typical street thugs. Runaways banding together and trying to get by, almost. Or something like that. We can work more with it later. That's fine. And everything looks okay too. I think we discussed the idea of Noah having an arc somewhere before Ben and Ella's, so that he could bring some information in the process about the chemical that regards their abilities. But we can still take some time to flesh that one out if you'd like.

Okay, I apologize that this will be wordy/rambly. But I do want to try and get my idea across as clearly as I can. I can never word things properly so I just continue to explain it until I can find a good analogy or comparison. So I hope I'm able to make some sense.

Basically, my idea is pretty similar to the concept of an Injustice League, made up of villains who are frequent villains to the normal league. I thought that maybe Dr. Oswald, Mystique and Mr. Midnight would be key members, since we have discussed their involvement in future arcs. I also thought that maybe the Ringmaster, who is Walt's "father," could be a member, along with the man who ended up killing Scorpius' parents. So, in a way, it does connect all of the minor battles they'll have following the Organization arc.

What I was most unsure about though was the sort of leader of the group. I've had this idea for a character in the back of my head for a while. He's basically a military leader who's been mutated and has abilities like super strength and an intensely expanded lifespan. I thought that maybe he's been alive long enough to have been a significant enemy of Noah's family during their time fighting the Soviets. I came up with the idea to give Noah some more development and, if he does decide to return home, an incentive to come back. Obviously we don't have to go with any of that, it's all up to if we agree on it and I'm fine doing whatever.

I decided that their main goal is pretty straightforward. I'm not sure if they were allies, enemies or associates of the Organization, that would be totally up to you since the Organization is your invention. But basically, what they want is to cripple the adult heroes, who sort of serve as Earth's defenders, obviously. And then take control of the American government and use their arsenal of nuclear weapons to destroy the world and create it in their image. With that sort of goal, I thought it made sense to make the head of the operation a former head of the Soviet's military and weapons projects, if that makes any sense. And since you mentioned the Organization's specialty in inventions and weapons, I think that would make this group interested in the Organization and the team, for having defeated them. Does that make any sense? I feel like it sounds better in my head. Since I'm interested in inventing all these names, like superhero/villain identities and such, I named the group the Titans, just because I thought it sounded catchy and intimidating.

Oh, and totally unrelated, but I mentioned in our AIM chat that I was going to attach this. So here it is. Just the faces that have helped me imagine the next generation. xD

Todd Kenton - "Kid Kadabra" (I wanted to work the angle we discussed about one of them being younger. So when he debuts, I think Todd will be 13 years old.)
Jasper McDowell - "Dragonfly"
C.A.L.V.I.N "Calvin Oswald." - "Bolt" (He's a new idea I came up with recently. He's supposed to be one of Dr. Oswald's last creations, a mesh of all the DNA he's collected from the original team. I'm thinking he'll have super strength, levitation and light electric abilities.)

That's fine! I feel like in comparison mine might be sort of short. Anyways, I like the idea! The idea of the Organization's initial plan coming out of the ashes is an interesting concept and if it shows up later on, I think it'll provoke Evadne's decision to eventually leave the team when she graduates so that she can make sure the Organization's plans are put to rest forever-- if that makes any sense. The idea of Walt's dad being a part of it is also really interesting-- it would put him in a place kind of similar to Audrey and Evadne. There's a lot of room for development there and I think that'd be really cool.

The military leader idea sounds magnificent. I love seeing that this new Organization will give you plenty of opportunities to develop your characters-- I like the idea and I think it has a ton of potential! It would also definitely give Noah a reason to come back to help the others-- if this guy is the new leader, Noah will probably know the most about him and his presence will probably be required for their victory.

Oh I understand exactly what you're getting at. Considering that they're the second Organization, their goals are very similar and I think that's completely fine. I could almost see them breaking Evadne's dad out of jail so that he could kind of help remodel their original inventions (and I suppose that the team managed to destroy all of the weapons when they defeated the Organization-- so his help would probably also be needed.) I think that your idea has a lot of potential and I think we should go through with it! Everything is dignified and has a reason to happen, so it's not exactly out of the blue. It'll also give us a lot more to work with in terms with development. I really like it! Titans... I really like this idea! I can tell you put a lot of thought and work into it and I think it has a lot of potential!


Anyhow, here are the characters I've come up with. ^^

Jovie Kim "Brawler"
(Song Hye Kyo)
She has a few psychic abilities that tend to go out of control (her mind reading in general sends her to the brink of insanity), she she never uses them unless it's absolutely necessary. She also has enhanced strength and prefers hand-to-hand combat.

Meredith Wright "Sleuth"
(Chloe Moretz)
Shapeshifter. She can only become animals that she's actually touched before, since she can't visualize animals. (considering she's blind, she's never come into contact or seen a giraffe, for example, so she can't change into a giraffe) She has to come in contact with an animal before she can change into it. (Cat, dog, snake, among a few others). She has enhanced senses and is good at tracking and estimating where her opponents are.

Lilly Foster "Sky Dancer"
(Hannah Murray)
Air manipulation, sound manipulation, flight, and an acrobat. Lilly's kind of a trickster and is really quick on her feet. She can also alter sound with her air manipulation, which can sometimes clash with Meredith's ability when it comes to hearing. So the two might be kind of clumsy if they ever have to fight together. I'm thinking that one of the adult heroes will find her and take her in-- so I might have it so that she shows up from time to time at a younger age when the original team is staying with the adult heroes.

Haha, I feel like I'm not as clever at coming up with superhero identities as you are. I really like your ideas and the idea of having one of Oswald's creations with the abilities from the previous team is so cool and unique! Now I really want to develop all of these characters and see how they'll all end up working together as a team. I guess since we're both kind of getting ahead, we don't really have to hold back on it if we don't want to.

[AppleMistress]

Yeah, I think even though he introduces himself and sort of invites himself onto the team, it'll be a while before he works well with the four of them. But yeah, he and Evadne deserve a little development. He'll be very nosy about the Organization with her. xD Thanks. Yeah, it's sort of surreal remembering that she does start out an enemy. So crazy. Yeah, a sort of goose chase around the city to try and stop Audrey and Luke. Interesting. Sort of a random idea and just a thought, but since Luke will be alone after Audrey leaves, and he isn't the best on his own, do you think that could be a good time to introduce Castor and possibly Harper? She doesn't really have ties to the Organization, but she works as a mercenary for hire, so maybe the Organization could start sending her on missions alongside Luke or something? That's just a totally random thought. If you hate that idea, that's totally cool. Halfway for Audrey sounds nice. It made sense, no worries. ^^

Yeah-- I think Evadne's going to be a bit curious about Noah as well, since he flat out says that he knows this is the Organization's work. She'll want to know how he knows and if he's working for anyone to get rid of the Organization or something along those lines. They'll have to compare notes a bit before Noah will agree to come with them, I think. So taking some time to explain everything after the fight sounds like a good idea. Yeah-- Audrey and Luke are doing the dirty work right now, just collecting fragments of information that's going to help the Organization with their weapon. Once that weapon starts being constructed is when the team's going to have to break into their base and try to stop them from doing anything. Hm... I have it in my head that Castor's supposed to be kind of a 'squad leader' with Audrey and Luke-- but he always ditches the responsibility. Once Audrey's gone he'll play more of a role there. Maybe Castor and Harper will interact a bit on the sides since they're around the same age and that could bring Harper in as well? I don't mind the idea at all, it seems like a good way to bring her in if you're up for it. And like I said in my PM, I think it'd be a good idea to flesh out more details here if you'd like to!
