'Cadre of Guardians'

of
Overwatch


Map of Peninsula city

Peninsula city is the fictional city where the fictional Federal agency of Overwatch is located in.   The city is located within the state of Florida.   Overwatch is akin to what SHIELD is in the Marvel Universe.   As the Cadre of Guardians or just known as the Cadre.   Is likewise akin to the Avengers of Marvel universe.   

Command center of Overwatch


NPC  Captain Patricia Nichols,   Overwatch commander,  a 18 year veteran of the police force.  She is who the heroes report to as her job is running overwatch and the cadre of guardians in over seeing it all.   Other notable is her age is 40.   Athletic still keeps in great shape.



NPC  Doctor Elaina Shinto,  a genetics specialist is chief of scientific research within  Overwatch.    Elaina is young for her position as she is merely 35 years of age.   She has a rocking killer body.   Loves to show it off in terms of how she dresses in odd quirks.   Like showing up in pumps better or stilettos better suited for a stripper stage.   Or a party dress under her lab coat.  She beats to her own tune, much as like on NCIS.   Through her name implies Asian descent.  She is not her mother married her father (step father when she was two years old and her last name was legally changed to Shinto.)

The dirty of the game

This is a system game.   MM3, PL 10 / 150 point spend starting level.    https://sites.google.com/site/d20herosrd/home  Provided is a link for source material for building a character with open license.   http://www.myth-weavers.com  for a character sheet.  It is encourage that your hero have at least one weakness.

The style of game will be a not too dark gritty with touch of manga flare to the role play.   It will be held in NC-Exotic group game.   As there is always the chance some deep sea tentacle monster might assault the women err the city.   

Age limit is no one under sixteen.   It is encourage no high school superheroes.  Such could limit ones role in actual action and fighting bad guys if one is stuck in a biology or English class.   Prefer no less then college for student characters.    The main plots of the game is not centered around sexual plot lines.  This does not preclude players from establishing relationships with fellow player characters or even with npc of the game.    In addition right now only one character for each player in the game.  Until the game is establish and has a solid foundation of background role play invested in creating a history.

Commitment of at least two post a week is looked for.   Through people can post more if want.   As the game evolves and history and backgrounds come in.    Slots may open up for people to play PL 5 level characters that are additional support around the heroes. 

This a game in the spirit of comics under a system to allow players to create original characters and develop them and have fun.

pl 10 150 points?

Yes, it's at PL 10 / 150 point build.   Sorry just omission on my part. I told Villain I was to scatter brain and would mess something up.

May I play? 

Yes!

any limits on origins? by which I mean.. how long do you picture supers having been active in the world? Is there magic? Space any kind of known thing?

Feel free to just say this is thinking harder about things than you were looking to deal with, just to note ;p

RubySlippers

Okay I'm thinking being a creation of Frankenstein's Method known as Eve Frankenstein and will have drawbacks being clearly unnatural but be a living being, although not overly ugly kind of average. And scary in a fight with training and experience from fighting in WW2 and dedicated to fighting evil and supernatural forces. Her father was a Jewish scientist and mystic who made her to fight the Nazi's and he was killed by the SS after destroying the Journal of the Doctor and his lab. She was known as a horrific enemy of the Nazi's stopping many of their occult plans and super science programs. Then left for the wilds to live in peace for decades and returned to civilization but working out why.

I may need some help with her though.

Origins can be from any thing.  Mutant, alien, magic, a accident some cosmic event that turned your character into a superhero.    However, its not about a game with power levels of say like the Hulk or Superman.  Thus the PL 10/150 start.

To answer the other part of the question.  In our preparation in preparing for this game, which me and theVillain have been hashing out for past month.    One of the now antagonists was at one time a super hero from the 1940's of WW2 era.      So figure superheroes and/or enhanced super beings been around at least 75 years.

Back to the first part answered,  its open as it is a good source of material to help propel a game.   A player comes up with a alien superhero that has made its way to work.  From some Space Empire.  That could spark a story arc later in the game, as an example.   Or perhaps a race that comes from the center of the earth core.   Again sparking a story arc.

Sounds good Ruby,  any help me and theVillain be glad to give as needed.

Mind if I toss a hat into the ring as well?

Sort of playing with a cyborg style idea in my head.

I'm interested in this game for sure. I have numerous character concepts spinning through my head right now, and I will surely settle on one before the night is out, thouhg i'm thinking a batman/spiderman-style crimefighter hero.

PhantomPistoleer

What sort of character would be most helpful, Elven? 

I would like to create a character that's connected, and fits in.

Welcome Pumpkin Seeds, eternaldarkness & PhantomPistoleer.

I stress to everyone that has shown interest,  not expecting people to rush building their characters. Take your time a week to two weeks.   To flesh out your concepts and how it fits.

The other neither of the ST characters will be the leader of the Cadre of Guardians.  So we need a leader type a captain America,  a Batman that is leader amongst super power types.   Also talk amongst yourself to see how the team can be fleshed out.    Otherwise play the concept your more invested in wanting to play.

PhantomPistoleer

I'm not sure if I want to play a fish guy, a space guy, or a monster guy.  :/

Hello!

Thought I'd step and spice things up by telling you all a bit more about the two antagonists we mentioned, to help you all get a feel for the play world. Here's a little history for the reality impaired.




Mickey Blue-Eyes

He was born with the unassuming name of Mitchell Brown, but his life was anything but assuming. He wasn't the first metahuman by a long shot but he is the earliest known mutant that was obviously a mutant from birth. Mitchell Brown has been an albino since birth, except instead of the normal red or pink his eyes are a brilliant shade of blue.

His story begins back in World War 2. His mother got the telegram, a piece of paper claiming that her husband had been killed fighting Nazis. Falling into despair and depression, she eventually found conciliation as a moll of the 40's super-villain Dr. Blizzard. Except it was just a clerical error, her husband was actually still alive - and none to happy that his wife was pregnant with a super-villain's son when he got back. He waited until she had given birth, then kicked them both out on the streets.

Times were hard for a divorced woman with a son that was an obvious mutant, especially back before the civil rights movement. His first use of his cold-and-ice powers arose from a mugger that was trying to kill his mother, and with no other alternatives Mitchell had to go into crime just to survive. He'd fall in with a particularly bigoted mob boss that despised mutants and kept him as practically a slave, but it seemed like the only way.

Then the 60's hit, and young Mitchell Brown was recruited by the House of Cards - a super-villain team that sold itself as a metahuman friendly version of a traditional mafia ring. Mitchell betrayed his old boss and joined gladly, forming the first bonds he'd ever have with people he could call friends. Even family. Getting a proper costume, Mitchell Brown spent most of the 60's in a campy parka costume as the superpowered thief and enforcer for the House of Cards known as Mr. Blizzard. He'd frequently clash with the then Cadre, but that was a more innocent time. At least on the surface.

1968 was the year the Cadre was almost disbanded, and Mr. Blizzard was right at the thick of it. No other villain has ever come so close to ending the team, a little ice throwing nobody like Mr. Blizzard. But he had a good reason. Two other members of the House of Cards, Black Puma and Luna Moth, were secretly one of the first only recently legalized interracial married couples. Mitchell Brown was a close friend, the three of them often committed crimes together - Mitchell was the godfather of their children even. Four members of the then Cadre of Guardians - Major Victory, Tiger Man, Red Glare, and the Invisible Kid - found out about this and saw it as a threat to society. The 4 "heroes" hunted down Black Puma, beat him into a coma, then took turns sexually abusing Luna Moth.

You ask Mickey, he'll just tell you that he did what anyone who really considers themselves a friend would do. History shows that he gave up the campy parka for an expensive suit, then he hunted down the 4 offenders and brutally murdered all four of them, one at a time. You won't find records of a trial, he confessed to get the death penalty off the table. It took the legal system decades to acknowledge that Mickey Blue-Eyes was the only justice they were going to get, and Mickey didn't mind spending the time. Each day was an example to the world how horrible, racist, and downright awful so called "Law and Order" really was.

As an extra twist of fate, it was discovered that as a side effect of his powers, the aging of Mickey Blue-Eyes has been dramatically slowed. Chronologically and Mentally he's 70, but Physically he's still in his early-to-mid 20's. They let him out last year, partially just to acknowledge that Life Imprisonment could mean Centuries.

That was a mistake. Mickey Blue-Eyes went right back to his old ways, but bigger then ever. Determined to rebuild the House of Cards, this time however Mickey Blue-Eyes is the Boss. Quickly, he's becoming the most powerful criminal in Peninsula City, and going against him is like going against a Glacier.

Powers: Mickey Blue-Eyes isn't just the head of one of the fastest growing criminal organizations in the country, but he's also one of the most experienced Ice Elementals on the planet. He used to be called 'Mr. Blizzard' for his namesake ability to selectively suck heat out of the local atmosphere to create brief-lived but intense Blizzards. He can, and has, recreated conditions comparable to a Siberian Winter in a Florida Summer. He can also create structures out of ice by selective freezing of water and certain compounds in the air to make objects of incredible detail including Poker Chips, Ashey Cigarettes, Riot Shields, and even a briefly lived working Snow-Mobile.

Most notoriously however, Mickey Blue-Eyes can generate "blasts" of cold so frigid that it can freeze a 240 pound human male completely solid in 1.4 seconds - and the Florida prison system has the footage to prove it. Fortunately, Mickey seems hesitant to do this outside of kill-or-be-killed situations. Usually he uses this to weaken objects like vault doors instead, but the Ice Man has killed before and can be pushed to do it again.





Downshift
This may come as no surprise, but Blake Dawson's father was a good cop - but a lousy father. Officer Ulrich Dawson took no bribes, did everything by the book, and kept his ear to the ground like all cops should. He also took his frustrations out on his wife and kids whenever anything remotely bad happened to him at work. The man even once got into the secret warehouse where they keep confiscated super-villain weapons and got a heat gun to burn Blake once, just for shoplifting a candy bar! Blake's glad the old man died on the line of duty, but he lived long enough that Blake figured out how the old man got in. Blake's not stupid, and when pressed he can definitely plan a good heist. It took time to get all the pieces together but when he got in Blake knew what he was looking for, letting all his compatriots get caught as he slipped away.

Back in the 80's there was a serial killer supervillain that somehow got his hands on time manipulating technology. So let's be fair here, as the unofficial inheritor of of the Clockstopper's mantel, Downshift could be a LOT worse. He wasn't stupid either, he took his time to learn about what he'd taken. How it worked, how to fix it when it was damaged, how to reconfigure it. Which he did figure it out he made sure to change it so he didn't give off the serial killer vibe quite so much. It used to look a lot worse, trust him on that.

He was finally ready a few years ago, and Blake donned his suit for the first time. Now stealing things is almost too easy, and he can finally live the easy life.

See, that's the thing people don't get about Downshift. He is aware that with his suit he has the power to be an absolute terror, to take over the world and wipe out cities and all that. He knows he can do that, he doesn't want to. What's the point of all that drama? No, Downshift is all about looking out for number one, maybe getting a little tail in the process.

Powers: Downshift's suit is a reconfigured version of the original gear used by the terrifying time-based killer known as the Clockstopper. Downshift in comparison is mostly just a thief. His suit gives him the ability to "Downshift" time relative to himself. In effect, Downshift can give himself relatively short bursts of an artificial form of superhuman speed via time manipulation. He doesn't have the stamina of a true speedster, but he does have a few other advantages that make up for it. For example, the camouflage systems of his suit combined with the speeds he can move at effectively render him invisible when he's "Downshifted" as long as he keeps moving. He's also far more durable then the average speedster if ever caught standing still as the suit utilizes temporal vibrations for a shielding effect.

Mostly he uses his powers to just steal things and is relatively harmless for a villain, he can even be convinced to help out in some dire situations. It's also horrifyingly easy for him to figure out someone's secret identity, a fact he's aware of but doesn't seem to capitalize on.

So, does anybody else wanna be leader guy, or can I shoot for that role? :D

Right now, i'm at a toss-up between a Batman/Spiderman crimefighter/Vigilante-type guy, and an Iron man-style powersuit guy. Anyone wanna start working out character interrelations and such?

Also, love the villains.

EDIT: OH man, i really love Mickey Blue-Eyes. I kinda wanna have my character with some connection to him, or maybe his former partners Black Puma and Luna Moth.

Pumpkin Seeds

Feel free on the leader role.  Sort of thinking a tank style for mine.  I kind of have this idea of a woman who had a more traditional super power and maybe was a kind of Golden Age type heroine.  Then something happened, so accident or horrible attack that left her depending on machines to survive.

Thank you!

And if you're thinking of having a connection to Mickey Blue-Eyes, feel free. I can easily imagine that from Black Puma and Luna Moth, Mickey Blue-Eyes has surprisingly healthy and warm relationship with a superhero God-child.

Yes, He'd actually be okay with that - Mickey's a mobster but he's an old-school mobster with a thing about Family.

Can I play with your history for Mickey/Puma/Luna a bit? Or rather, play off of it? I have a GREAT idea for a character concept now.

TheVillain

I'd love too see what you have in mind. And I think as long as your character isn't Mickey's biological son I think we might be able to work with it.

Damn. Back to the drawing board then.

TheVillain

Bummer.

Yeah, in full honestly I'm considering a bit of story in which another side effect of Mickey's powers is that he's basically sterile. So it work best for me if no character was literally Mickey's son, but there's more then one way to be family. A character that has Mickey as a Godfather instead, perfectly fine.

I'm also considering just how true the rumors are that Downshift occasionally blackmails super-heroines for sex. I'm thinking it'll remain just a rumor but if one of our ladies specifically requests it, then maybe...

No biggie. I'll just go with one of my many other ideas. What i had in mind doesn't have that same visceral emotion if it's just a godparent connection.

Jessica Hitomi Washington/"Atemi"

   Gregory Washington was a consummate Japanophile.  His wife, Naomi, practically had to wrestle with him to keep him from giving his daughter the first name Hitomi.  They came up with a compromise.  Jessica—for Naomi's grandmother as her personal name—with Greg's favorite name for her middle name. 

   Along with being a gamer and a fan fiction writer, Greg made a career in the army.  He always pushed for posts in Japan.  This wasn't just for his fandom, he had a martial arts sensei in Tokyo whom he loved studying under.  He learned kenjutsu, aikijutsu, and atemi under the man.  He taught these skills to Jessica and—during their years on base in Tokyo, she joined him. 

   Jesica spent a lot of time with her family growing up, her parents and  her younger sisters, twins named   Adele and Madison.  Not only were they a lot of fun, she knew she wouldn't move away from them in two years or less.  She studied hard and graduated from a high school in El Paso as valedictorian.  Her father was so proud he was going to buy her a very nice car, 'til he discovered something he knew she'd love even more. 

   With the help of an art dealer, he was able to acquire an authentic katana.  The art dealer who sold it to him could show evidence that it had been wielded by one of the 47 ronin. 

   Even at 21,000 dollars, he got it for a steal.  When other art dealers confirmed the authentication, Greg assumed the dealer was covering up some damage it had suffered.  The rumor that it was haunted was ridiculous. 

More to come.
