Buuuut, I also have some suggestions for this RP.
(1. For the apps, we should add a personality section to describe the character's...well, personality.
(2. There should possibly be a Discord server for this RP. It would help with planning and whatnot.
I'm not OP, but personally I like the fact that the app doesn't actually contain personality. From my experience, what I describe in the personality often ended up very different from how I write in the IC. It's better in my opinion to have like and dislike, as this is useful as a 'scaffolding' for the personality I'll be writing for the char.
Just my two cents though, so take it with a grain of salt.

This is interesting, the first mission we plan to do might actually fit really well for you, it's pretty much a team up of mostly unrelated npcs and your char could help fill out the group. Not sure if it'll be a bank robbery, but we can hash out those details as it approaches
This should work, interesting writing style for the briefing. Maybe a bit more detail of the setting of it and how you imagine it playing out? That's not particularly necessary though so this should be fine.

Can you elaborate on that a little further, please? I’m not too sure as to what is wrong with my Mission app.

Is this last boss going to be a quick defeat, or will it be a while? Honestly at this point it feels like we've spent plenty of time with this arc, no offense.

Yeah, the plan was to have it be like a quick tutorial final boss thingy to end the arc with a bang. It's not going to take long, don't worry
Regarding Red, I was going to have Alexis round up the wounded chars and treat them a little bit, since she can't do much against the bat. You can probably use that to your advantage.
Alternatively, now's a good time to tell me if you'd rather not have me do that

Nope, feel free.
Feel free to have him mumble something about kicking Roy's ass or something along those lines for comedic effect.

Not really saying there's anything wrong with it. As an app it's totally fine. I was merely making suggestions to make it better. As to what those suggestions are, I think the style of the explanation felt a lot of details vague. Like the who what where and why is kind of missing. So including a more objective third person description might be helpful. That being said I don't think it's entirely necessary but would just be a good addition.

Oh, alright that makes sense. If that’s the case, then let me elaborate on the mission:
• 1). The person speaking in the summary (or ‘briefing’) is Zoe’s contractor, to whom I have yet to introduce their name via Zoe’s next post. Zoe had been getting contracts/missions from this contractor in mind since her first year on Earth - basically taking up heists and assassinations. Zoe is essentially a bounty hunter and cat burgular for hire.
• 2). Now, I thought the whereabouts of the mission were obvious, but it appears that the specific location in Hong Kong wasn’t clear. The mission takes place in the high-rise slums of Hong Kong, which makes the perfect place to hide away a informant/spy’s hideout; however, the neighborhood has since been infested with the police. Crackdowns and raids have fallen into effect, so the neighborhood will be crawling with police activity.
• 3). Zoe has a long history with her contractor in mind, thereby taking up jobs and missions which are primarily at night; essentially became a reliable source of income. As you may expect for a single Kletterian woman to start her life anew in the final frontier, Zoe wants to enjoy the fun that she never had when she was a kid, so high-class thievery and spycraft is kind of her thing (kind of like catwoman). Plus, Zoe has built up a good yet humble reputation as a very good thief, burglar, and assassin all at once, which is why she is being called up by her fellow contractor in mind.

This seems like a personal arc for Zoe more than an arc for everyone else.

The intel in mind, however, had been under investigation by the Chinese for a while. It was only through kidnapping and beating the informant into submission that the Chinese were able to secretly give the Young Bloods an anonymous tip - specifically one regarding the informant and his work of gathering intel for the Young Blood safehouses. Unfortunately, Zoe and her contractors don’t realize that kind of info just yet - something that the previous operative had before going down to their grave as well.

Going to chime in a bit here: while the above makes sense, I think it's a bit of a stretch to think that Chinese authorities would want to give an anonymous tip to a foreign, small-time team of superheroes instead of resorting to supers within their own nation. Besides that, I don't think the YB are going to be doing missions in places as far as China for a little while.
Not to discourage your arc, but it sounds like it'd have to wait until the YB are pretty well established and have a very good reputation overseas, which will undoubtedly take a while.

Hmm, save this arc in the meantime. I’ll think of something a little more tamed and mild.
Auropa wrote:Name: Kross Mathews
Age: 42
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Appearance:
Young Blood?: No
Bio: Kross Mathews is a standard, unpowered employee of the Superhuman Defense Committee. He specialises in security and commonly works with different governments to give talks and inspections of standard facilities in order to ensure that all elements of modern laws are upheld.
Powers:
- [Agent]: Kross Mathews is an agent of Pandora’s Lock. While his position mostly has him working and travelling alone, he still works with the support and backing of the shadowy organisation.
- Experienced: Kross has spent his whole career punching above his weight level. Undoubtedly, this has left its scars but as a result he has learned how best to fight in a world of gods and monsters. Specifically, by cheating. Intelligence, reinforcements, legalities, brutality and fear are all commonly used weapons within Kross’ armory.
Limitations:
- Powerless. Kross is an unpowered human with a drinking and smoking problem.
- Cover story. While many supers know of Pandora’s Lock and its true capabilities within the SDC, Kross’ cover story is as a desk jockey of the SDC. As such, he’s unable to enter most facilities without first contacting support, delaying his efforts and giving warning to any high level foes.
Weaknesses:
- Smoker’s Lung: While experienced and well built, Kross is far from the ideal image of health. Physical scars, age, a life of drinking and actual smokers lung are all problems continually slowing him down.
- Cocky: Despite his flaws, Kross is nearly unmatched in confidence. While he avoids obvious suicide runs, he has on several occasions, refused reinforcements in favour of acting alone to ensure certain aspects of his investigations.

OOC- So I wrote this up with Kross mainly being intended as a side character. Potentially bringing the odd mission or missive for the team while I acting as the friendly government spook playing the role of a suit.
