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. 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 xxx points. Max of -xx points in disadvantages. No more than a 13 or less than a 7 on any attribute. A 7 would require a good backstory. 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.
