First meeting [23 Dec 2012|04:28am]
Daddy had said no leaving the state. But...he'd also said a whole bunch of stuff about practice makes perfect and challenging oneself. Granted, those things had not been in the same conversation with each other but...details.

So Janie takes a detour on her flight practice. She's not technically leaving the state...just flying right along the border.

That's still within rules, right?

App time [20 Dec 2012|02:13am]
NextGen Application (Canon and OC)
 
Player (nickname, handle)/ LJ: Sands
Email: you have it
AIM (if you have one): see above answer
Character Name: Janet "Janie" Drake
Character LJ (if applicable): thegirlwonder
Physical description (face, build, weight): Blonde, blue eyes, rather lean figure
Age: 14
Birthday: June 15th
Codename (if using one):
PB: (If using one.) Indiana Evans
Abilities:
Classic abilities her mother had: superhuman strength, speed, durability, reflexes and flight
Cassandra exhibited powers due to her demi-godess nature that put her in the same strength and speed range as Diana, and while Janie is plenty strong, she's still a lesser part god and quite young, so her strength isn't at that level. Janie still has a lot of growing to do so her powers may grow greater later in life/ 
 
Spent some time training on Paradise Island with the Amazons (on some weekends or holidays with her mother) but mostly used it to test techniques her father had taught her on opponents more in her strength level. Most of her training including bo staff fighting, stealth, and hand-to-hand was all taught by Tim. She's still learning from him though. 
 
Equipment: Standard amazon bracelets, she got recently though so still working on mastering those, domino mask, and always carries a small shoulder bag (certainly not as extensively stocked as a bat utility belt) (also, not purse she says, bo staffs and smoke bombs are not for purses) that has her bo staff and an extra one, phone to call Dad, a few odds and ends like smoke bombs, a flashbang (or two), rope, pocket knife, flashlight, a snack (okay, so maybe Tim had given her a little bit of a survival kit thing here) and whatever book she's reading now. It pays to be prepared for some things. Even light reading and snacking time.
 
Weaknesses and flaws:
Inexperienced with going all out with her powers. Also hasn't tested all of their potential. Tim thinks it's still too dangerous for her to learn to catch bullets (he doesn't want her finding out how durable she is that way) so she's been told to deflect with her bracelets but, very preferably, speed the hell away first. And while quite good with hand to hand, she's still learning from her Dad so room for improvement as always.
 
Character location/Home: Bludhaven
Alignment (villain, hero etc): Hero
Team: Young Justice
Relatives (living/dead?): Tim Drake (father/alive), Cassandra Sandsmark (mother/alive), Helena Sandsmark (grandmother, alive), Zeus (grandfather/alive), Bruce Wayne (adoptive grandfather/alive), Dick Grayson (Adoptive uncle/alive), Jason Todd (adoptive uncle/alive) and the bat fam and the greek gods there. The list gets a bit too long. 
Backstory:

Connor Kent's death hit his best friend Tim and his girlfriend Cassie hard. In their grief they found each other and started a rather short lived relationship, cutting it off when they both agreed that they'd simply gotten together out of grief over Connor and the whole thing wasn't the best idea. (Note: they're a couple of years older in this scenario than the comics). When it turned out that Cassie was pregnant, Tim supported her through it though they remained single. After Janie's birth, they lived at the tower for a bit before it was decided that it'd be better she had a chance at as close to a 'normal' secret ID life as was possible. And TT tower or Paradise Island wasn't where that was going to be. Tim ended up moving to Bludhaven as Red Robin and helping Dick with the city until Nightwing retired, after which he took over his brother's duties. It was agreed that Janie would live with Tim, getting as much 'normal' in her life as possible, but spend most weekends and parts of the summers with her mother. 
 
Tim trained her, and continues to do so, in most of the things Batman had trained him in, but with added emphasis on power control. When with her mother and on paradise island, Janie learnt how to utilize her powers and some sword fighting, though she vastly prefer's Tim's bo staff fighting. She loves both her parents, but is very aware she was a mistake and the two never really intended to get together, something she used to wish for despite knowing it'd never happen. She's a bit jealous that other people have parents who are happy and together, and kind of wishes she could have that too. But her extended family makes up for it mostly and she loves her parents and tries not to dwell on these things, bat brooding comes through once in a while.
 
Daddy/Red Robin is the greatest hero to her, Robins in general come in a close second (she loves uncle Dick and hasn't quite decided if the new alt universe uncle counts under awesome Robins but is willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. Of course she hasn't met Damian yet). Grandpa Bats is real cool but grumpy and she really likes the old blue beetle (Tim's fanboyishness there rubbed off). Also, Aunt Donna is pretty darn great too, she jokes to Mikal sometimes that she 'puts up with him' because of her. But all in all she loves the Titans and the family-like atmosphere so Young Justice is looking like exactly what she wanted to officially start her heroing career
 
How do you plan to introduce the character to the game?: YJ intro plot but she can also have been interacting with any Bat, Wonder, or certain Arrow family members.
What are you planning to do with this character? YJ hijinks and learning how to do the hero thing
What do you want to see happen with this character?: Same as above, obviously mature a little, make some friends, learn a few lessons, what you'd expect
