cape and cowl 2020: planning post
![]() Someone call for a dystopian future au? Sometime around 2014 (THIS IS NEW, GUYS, WE'RE JUST SLIDING THE SHIT HITTING THE FAN FORWARD A FEW YEARS OKAY), the government in the City decided that they'd had enough of these superhero antics. There was a nationwide crackdown on metas, requiring registration upon penalty of incarceration. The network was shut down, and many residents were scattered to the winds. There are a few that stayed in touch, however. That's where you come in. For some of you, this might be from before your time. Not to fear! Since it's a highly flexible splinter universe, there's pretty much no such thing as canon. Retcons abound, either as allowances for contradictory canon information (except for the premise, of course), or even just if the player wants to change something around! So, use this post as a free-for all. New characters get new projected histories, dropped characters can be said to have come back, and old characters can be reexamined or given more story. On Sunday, an open post will be put up in ![]() |
JASON TODD; age 28
Eventually business brings him to South America, then Central America, then finally back to the states. Sometime after that, he lands back in the City and discovers Jessica living in Brooklyn with a kid, and surprise surprise, that he's the father. Which the initial discovery has him wanting to run for the hills, he eventually decides that despite how fucking terrifying the idea might be, he should at least try to be a better person than any of his parental figures ever were.
Which is how he ends up back in the City working as an actual vigilante and not just a drug peddling pain in the ass. It's easier to tell your kid you're a superhero than a crime lord and both professions seem equally dumb at this point.
