TRIO

This is a four-color comic book style Super Hero campaign.

Started on 11 July, 2009.

The Setting:

The world is very similar to ours. The technology is akin to the world in which we live, tech level 8. There is higher tech, but that is restricted to other unique individuals, as their powers or perhaps government organizations, etc. The political climate is similar to ours. The American government is under new leadership with a large emphasis on reforming from some of the corporation-centric decisions of the former administration. People with powers are not super common and most try to avoid the public eye. However, there are some, such as Titaniman who embrace it. The public is generally accepting and occasionally thankful of the assistance of powered individuals, although they are very volatile and quick to turn against any "freak". Many costumed individuals are criminals or soon become criminals once they learn their abilities are much more profitable when operating outside the law. That being the case, "villains" generally seem to outnumber "heroes" and because local and governmental law are busier, there is a higher crime rate than our "real world."

You will have all been recruited by a man who says he works for the DEA (Daniels Environmental Agency). He asks that you work with them, rather than as individual mercenaries or vigilantes or whatever makes sense for your back story. This will be fleshed out better for each of you once I know more of your character vision.

Character Guidelines

Characters will likely be stronger than what the GURPS books define as Street Heroes and will likely be Four-Color heroes. Using movies as a reference, the Incredible Hulk is too strong to be a PC, Iron Man would be a very strong PC, Spiderman or some of the X-men would be examples of the level of hero I'm expecting the party to be.

Characters will start with 400 points. Max of -75 points in disadvantages. I'll take proposals for more if it fits a back story. No less than a 7 on any attribute. A 7 would require a good back story. A decent back story is expected.

I will likely assign disadvantages/advantages as I see fit to help weave characters and stories, but will be sure to not break your vision of your character.

Suggested References

Recently

Reeloran and Foxy have been working together for some time, primarily in NY, but occasionally elsewhere along the east coast. Although, Tzai has only joined the team two weeks ago. He has only helped the others on one occasion when the group was notified by the local authorities via the red phone that there was something going on at the wharfs that was bigger than NYPD and apparently the FBI, CIA or any other official agencies hadn't caught wind of it. The NYPD thought it was simply car thieves loading stolen cars up to ship somewhere down the coast to re-face and sell, but after Reelaran had drawn some fire by plucking away their high-posted watchmen, Tzai walked in and confused the negotiators while the Scarlet Fox blocked the loading of anymore vehicles by moving an empty shipping crate in front of the loading dock. After getting shot by a sneaky goon, she then began psycokinetically throwing people and objects around while Reeloran broke bones and shredded anyone threatening. After all was said and done, Tzai was talking to the site boss when the NYPD stormed into the aftermath to make arrests and cleanup the pounds of cocaine that was being smuggled behind door panels and under the seats of the mostly destroyed stolen cars.

The group has the 42nd floor penthouse of a building that houses mostly business cube-farms, with a few floors of apartments on the lower levels. It is paid for, cleaned, furnished and stocked with supplies and food by the DEA. There is red colored wired telephone that is a direct line only from the NYPD and NYFD. There is a large dual access fireplace opening into the kitchen and the living room where Reeloran spends most of his time in the penthouse. Scarlet Fox has her own apartment separate from the penthouse, but accessible from two doors. One into the main entry way and another from her office, which enters the library/gym of the penthouse studio.
