All good things must, one day, come to an end. But sometimes, that ends comes sooner than one thinks. Such is the way of the Mantle of the Raven, one of Freedom City's most iconic heroes. The Batman of the Freedom City setting, one that passed from Father to Daughter, and now is soon to pass from Master to Apprentice. Currently, Raven II/Callie Summers is the one actively holding that legacy. Aleksander Nakani, aka Nevermore, is slated to take up the mantle sometime this summer (after his graduation from high school!). But just passing on the cape and cowl because he graduated, that feels a bit lame. So instead, I'm going to try to run a thread or three to pass the torch. I've hashed some initial ideas out, and I'm laying out the framework here. What I'm looking for is input on the NPCs, especially villains, to be involved, and then some PCs to have assist Nevermore. My general thought on the setup is that Raven has been tracking some faint trails of clues that lead her to, I dunno, a warehouse or something with an electronic message left there. It's a taunting message from Dr. Sin, her grandfather, all wrinkly and evil and stuff, taunting her that she never faced him directly because she knew she would lose, and now she's getting old too. She keeps mopping up the scraps from his table. Can she leave him be? So the Raven goes after him...and runs right into a group of cowl-type villains (the likes of Blackbird, Fear Master, Red Death, Warden, Silencer, and/or others) led by a much-younger-looking Dr. Sin. Via some magic or super-science or something, he has not only maintained his life and health, but reversed his aging to be in the prime of his life (physically he looks maybe 30), and even granted himself some minor metahuman powers (probably just a light Paragon package or some such). The combination is too much, even for Raven, even wearing her most cutting-edge powered armor suit. It turns out that Sin chose this moment to strike because he believed that before long, her advancing age would prompt her to create a suit powerful enough this plan wouldn't be guaranteed to work. But he had to wait until now to let age do some of the work. It was a delicate balance! So she's captured, imprisoned, etc., not sure yet what he's going to do with her (probably taunt her father for a while, then brainwash her and give her the same rejuvination treatment he used, make her his chief lieutenant). Before he can taunt anyone, an automated timer and message alert Nevermore to what's going on. Queue the Recruitment Montage! Nevermore takes an entire team to fight these guys, just enough that everyone gets a one-on-one matchup, and he gets to take on Dr. Sin one-on-one, and manages to beat him (dice willing!). Callie's been hurt and worn down enough by all of this that, while she can function in her civilian life well enough, it's too much of a risk to take up the Cowl again. So the story ends with Aleksander standing on a rooftop.... As the Raven. What I'm looking for: Bit of help refining the ideas here. Suggestions on which NPCs to have as additional villains. Suggestions on pre-made sheets to use for everyone, and adjustments as we think necessary. Help figuring out who a good PC team to assist would be! I'm really wanting and hoping to keep this as a primarily-Cowl endeavor. That's not to say that no one on the mission can have any powers, just that I'm wanting this to be more the skill-y characters than the likes of our biggest, flashiest, most powerful heroes steamrolling the bad guys. Motivation among the Cowls is probably to "keep it in house"! So this is a combination of "putting the idea out for refinement" and "recruitment drive". I'd be looking for 4, at most 5, other heroes. This won't all happen at once; I'm thinking maybe 1 "setup" thread, and 1 "action" thread. Time-wise, I'd like this to be built up a bit, so the 1st thread probably happens in a month or two (and is forward-set a bit), and the next one after that one's wrapped. Maybe starting it in...April-ish? May, if that's how it shakes out.

La Gata Power Level: 10 (148150PP) Trade-Offs: -2 Toughness, +2 Defense Unspent Power Points: 2 In Brief: Legacy of 'El Gato', an Iron Age heroine thought dead; cat-woman under a mystical curse. Residence: Freedom City Alternate Identity: Camila Arroyo Identity: Secret Birthplace: Freedom City Occupation: College kid, majoring in Literature and minoring in Art Affiliations: None, for now Family: Maria Arroyo (mother, previously Maria Villagatos), Frank Arroyo (father). Description: Age: 22 (DoB: 1994) Gender: Female Ethnicity: Hispanic-American Height: 5'6" Weight: 133 lbs. Eyes: Brown (were-form: purple) Hair: Brown *picture reference pending* Power Descriptions: A fierce and agile acrobat, Camila is capable of cat-like feats of prowess. Able to leap up to incredibly far upward or forward, she's capable of slowing her falls as well as being able to dart around and across obstructions across the ground. Armed with razor-sharp claws as strong as steel, and with a body tough enough to withstand surprising amounts of abuse, her combat capabilities leave slower mooks in shock and awe. She's also a clever fighter, able to take advantage of her adversaries and set up foes for an ally's assaults. In addition, Camila also possesses the sensory abilities of a feline, able to see in poor lighting, detect through scent alone, and even react with lightning speed through a hearing-based 'danger sense'. Lastly, at least from a more 'academic' perspective, Camila's curse has inspired her to learn about the ways of the supernatural, and she possesses a tinge of magical skill and knowledge. However, almost all of these abilities come at a cost -- Camila must assume her bestial shape in order to achieve these feats; she cannot use most of them as a human! History: During the Terminus Invasion, it was thought that Maria Villagatos, the heroine known as El Gato, was killed in the battle. This, however, was not entirely true. While El Gato the superhero was eliminated, Maria survived as a result; in her death throes, her duty fulfilled according to the eyes of the gods of old in heroic sacrifice, they stripped Maria of her powers while allowing her to remain alive as a mortal. A year would pass, and the now-incognito Maria would fall in love with a man named Frank Arroyo. The two became betrothed and, as a result, Maria had a daughter named Camila. An ordinarily happy family, Camila lived a normal and quiet life with her mother and father. Sometime during Camila's teen years, however, disaster would strike. Remnants of those villains who Maria fought as El Gato had found out her secret identity, and with knowledge of Maria's true self came knocking in revenge. Injuring her father and capturing her mother, Camila was beaten profusely by the evildoers as she tried to stop the assault. Little did anyone know that the gods of old weren't quite finished with Maria and her bloodline -- before Camila knew it, she found herself in a similar predicament as her mother years prior, awaking to being covered in blood. Having been transformed into a were-cat herself by the gods, Camila gave chase and took out the hapless villains, showing amazing skill as a fighter. Frank recovered from his wounds with paramedical aid, and Maria was rescued. To this day, Camila carries on as the legacy of her mother's secret identity, referring to herself as 'La Gata'. Not nearly as bloodthirsty as her mother had been in her youth, Camila nevertheless fights the good fight against the street criminals and more between her college classes, overjoyed with her new self from the tales that Maria had told of her past. Personality & Motivation: Camila is a sharp-minded individual, a normally cheerful young lady if not a bit of a bookworm. She's not exactly the most apt at social situations with strangers, but is known to get bubbly around friends. Loyal to those she cares about, she'd defend her loved ones even if it would put her in danger. An ambitious young hero, she has a tendency to go in over her head at first, but usually falls back on her wits and willpower to prevail even when seemingly overpowered. Powers & Tactics: In combat, Camila has a bad habit of enjoying the thrill of the fight. She toys with her adversaries like a kitten with its prey, oft using her youthful personality to catch her foes off-guard, delivering powerful strikes soon after. However, she has a tendency to underestimate her foes, and without a real means of ranged attacks other than closing in with her foes, she is vulnerable to being bested by such. Complications: Keeping the Cat in the Bag: Knowing fair well that her secret identity could be dangerous to leak, Camila does her best to keep her other self hidden in public. However, if she gets too upset or angry, or is physically hurt too much... Thrill Seeker: Having lived a quiet and peaceful life prior to her first change, Camila has taken up the opportunity to do much more eagerly. There's little she's not willing to try these days, even if it can prove to be dangerous. Lycanthropy Addict: As a human, Camila sees herself as a simple girl of Hispanic descent, nothing more than a wallflower. As La Gata, however, she finds herself free to assume a whole different personality. Whether a part of her curse or this state of self-worth under it (or both), Camila can be hesitant to change back to her human shape.
