  1. So thread idea. There's a break in at police evidence lock up. Not much is taken, but the big ticket item that has gone missing are the charred remains of Malice's battlesuit, the Mantle of Freedom. It's up to our heroes to determine who stole the suit and what their nefarious plans are now that it's in their possession. I'm obviously throwing it's creator Bastion into the mix, and I'm looking for ~3 other PC's to join in. A bit of investigation and lots of combat as per usual for my threads. PL 10+ for that reason.
  2. A new villain has arrived on the West Coast who causing a storm all over Social Media, but another media obsessed villain isn't going to take it lying down. And of cause some heroes are caught in the middle! I'm after a couple of heroes to take on villains both old and new.
  3. The title is really is all you need in this instance. Right now I'm wanting to lean on social threads to help reintegrate Bastion into society, though I totally understand the desire for the other PC's to want to devolve it into a combat thread (which I will support if there's interest). There are three avenues I've been thinking of for threads to occur, but I'd like input for which people think would be the most interesting and/or which they would like to be a part of. Characters that were associated with Malice/Bastion are going to be given priority. 1 - The Press Conference - You simply don't let someone with Eric's rap sheet walk out of jail without letting everyone know that this is going down. I'm waffling between whether or not the details of the press conference were released ahead of time. On the one hand the real life implications seem to favor letting the press know ahead of time, while the comic-book implications would totally have the surprise reveal of Eric walking into the stage and shaking hands be the last splash page of a comic to continue in the next issue. 2 - Villains out shopping - Eric wanders into a PC when the both of them are in their civilian ID, Eric being oblivious, but the other PC not. A nice walk in for anyone who own their own business or the like. Semi-related to Eric getting his finances back in order; maybe the penthouse he moves into makes him your neighbor. 3 - The Patrol - Eric goes out on patrol as Bastion in his full power armor hoping to help solve the latest crime spree, but to the PC's or the police want his help? As I mentioned above, if anyone has any other thread ideas, I'm all for it.
  4. Okay, folks - Looking to recruit a small collection of newish players for a thread! The idea here is that your character has been hired for publicity/security for the test run of a brand-new cruise ship, the SS Mictlan. Your PC should be credible/famous enough that a company would reasonably want to do that. Who wouldn't want an all-expenses-paid Caribbean vacation?
  5. I am starting it up. It is primarily social,. But there may be... special kinds of actions. This is sort of a senior-ish trip. But basically Elias/Errant is running a a harder core camping trip., over a week, for credit and stuff. I know there have been rumblings before, this should be about 5 to 6 people
  6. To celebrate the Cherry Blossom Festival this year, and not random coincidence and chance , I'm dusting off an idea for a thread set in Japan. I've already got one brave volunteer but I'm after another to get involved in a mystery in Tokoyo. I'm happy with characters in the 8=12 range and whilst Japanese would be nice it#s not essential.
  7. I need to get Brigandine into threads with other heroes now that she's around, and since it's sort of still in the middle of the school year, it doesn't seem right to just have a "new arrival at Claremont" thread. So instead we're going to say she's always been around and is only now getting her own title. This thread is going to be for PCs at the PL 7 or PL 8 level. It's going to involve a ruckus at Millennium Mall; I'm looking for two or three other PCs to be in it, besides Brigandine.
  8. Hello! Now that she's back to Earth, I have a little plot in mind that involves my character Mechanized. Time to introduce her arch-enemy, Steampunk! Formerly an engineer working for Emily's father, he was fired for stealing parts from work to create his personal robot prototypes, and over time he devolved into a Doc Ock wannabe. He also picked up magic skills and a way integrate them with steampunk style robots, before returning as a supervillain. In particular, he hates Emily because he believes her father favored her over himself, and the grudge only worsened when Emily beat him up a couple of times. Now, he's back for more. He holds civilian hostages and won't let them go until Emily comes over and fights him and his robot minions! This is going to be a good old superhero brawl, and I'm looking for a couple of heroes to help Emily along. To keep this thematic, I'd rather have tech or robot themed heroes.
  9. So, as it stands now there are going to be two threads coming up. One starting sooner. 1. Campout/Social thread/adventure in your mind! Errant attempts to have a bit of socially stuff with friends, and 'friends', and classmates, because... they tell him it is a wise thing to do. And then he accidentally imbibes hallucinogenic mushrooms... Oooooooo! Characters Involved: Errant, open. 2. Errant gets kidnapped by a nemesis, and is getting turned into a telepathic living weapon. His friends have to save him. This is set during during Thanksgiving, or in the chaos post Incursion resolution/new year what not.. Characters involved: Arrowhawk, Glamazon, Thoughspeed, Blod, (room for 1 or 2 more?)
  10. I am looking for three to four science/history/mystic PCs to investigate a rash of murders in a small, North Dakota town. This sleepy burg has had its population double since the discovery of shale gas underneath the land, and this has created a lot of tension between the settled population and the itinerant workers; the newly-flush citizens and those who remain impoverished; the oil company's workers and a group of hardcore eco-activists; the sane and the mad; etc.
  11. For quite some time now, Riff has been more or less unattached to any superhero team in the game and to be honest Riff not the sort of person that works well as a solo hero. Hes a Musician that plays Rock and Metal after all, he's at his best when hes in a band and not a solo act. Since I've been informed that there are a few superheros floating around that are currently unaffiliated who are not A ) Teenagers part of Next Gen or B ) Off in space having space adventures with all the other space teams, I thought I would check over here and see if there was any interest in a shiny new superhero team!* So , who is interested? *Name of superhero team still pending and is subject to change.
  12. I'm looking for two or three other PCs to be a thread involving alternate universe counterparts of themselves. These are going to be friendly, or at least non-hostile versions; the focus of the thread is going to be Jay confronting the fact that there are no alternate versions of herself. EP has graciously volunteered to GM, so he has final say on things.
  13. So I really should do something with this little team I've put together so I thought I'd offer this idea. Basically the characters will become trapped in an animated adventure. I'm hoping for a light hearted romp poking gentle fun at animated superheroes past and presents. I'm looking for four Claremonters to join the wacky fun, preference will go to current Next-Gen but they may be a spot or two for newcomers.
  14. Hi! I planned a little adventure to introduce my latest character, Nano Angel. What I'm looking for here is a team of 4-5 heroes with a mix of abilities, including psionic powers and technological knowledge. Synopsis: For the last several months, a mysterious hacker that goes by the name of Cyberskull has been wreaking havoc on the Internet, fooling even the best security systems thanks to his ability coupled with an astonishing amount of raw processing power. AEGIS has been trying to stop him without any success, but they've finally managed to pinpoint Cyberskull's location: a secret compound hidden deep in the Wharton State Forest. Time to assemble a superhero team and get rid of this villain!
  15. So, thread idea, with a side of 'see how Vector's doing' and 'because I have villain ideas, darn it' The Australian Superhero League's sending out a call for support in an operation against the villain Redback, a supervillain who's one of the Big Shots of the Australian scene for a number of reasons- one of which being that he's well-known for having killed the superhero Cloudrunner I- he seems to be expanding some of his operations, and some of the directions he seems to be going in are... disturbing, so the League's calling for some outside support- after the whole fuss with the Omega Boss, they're putting major focus into uprooting his organisation, and Redback seems to be... taking advantage. So, I need three to four PCs, ideally around PL10 or so. Any origin is fine with me.
  16. So I was wracking my mind thinking up a few new thread ideas as I need the massive distraction. For threads I want to run, or be involved with in some way. And rather than set up a recruitment thread for each and every single one of them. I figured, why not get em over with in one go like Supercape's kicker thread. I put asterisks next to the threads that I believe that will require permission before pursuing, but if no interest cropped up in those plot hooks there'd be no thread in the first place. And of course they're all open to suggestion. Shark Week: Terror Beneath A scientific expedition off the coast of japan from what appears to be an undersea palace. Unfortunately for them the palace was not abandoned. Now their ship has been taken hostage by bipedal shark/human hybrids. The creatures have held the ship hostage. Threatening to kill the crew if their demands are not met. So this has been sitting in the back of my mind for a while. At first look it may look like a heroes show up and punch stuff type of deal. There's more to the thread, but that's the opening. What the Kraken Released* Captain Kraken and his crew plan on capturing the Dakuwanga bioweapon. Attacking an Atlantean outpost that had recently held the beast captive. Unfortunately the space pirate was incapable of holding the Dakuwanga at bay. And now it seeks to destroy every Atlantean it can get its hands on unless the heroes can put a stop the creature themselves while fending off Captain Kraken as well. Sooo, permission will be fished (ha) for this one, especially as I will likely include the Sea King for its purposes. But I don't even think I have to sell the reasoning behind this plot. Aquatic Space Pirates vs Atlanteans vs Sea Monster. C'mon now, it's like a bad Syfy movie which means filled with awesome and no substance. Thread Has Started Jury Duty* Diagnosed with a terminal cancer the head foreman at a local construction company is willing to turn over evidence against the mob in preparation for his death. However, a bounty has been placed on his head and the heroes will have to spend the night defending him from the Murder League who has taken a vested interest in the contract. Alright this was originally an idea I tossed towards Thev for a thread she was going to GM. Seeing as it wasn't used, I'm open to running such a story. Pretty positive this is one that would require me asking for ref permission on account of the Murder League and the Freedom City Mob. Thread has Started (Insert Character Name) Murderer! A hero has been accused of murder in their civilian guise. Witness testimony and detailed camera footage support the claim. But he/she couldn't have done it. They were off saving a number of people in need at the time. A manhunt spreads through the city, with some heroes even going after his/her civilian identity. Now they have to prove their innocence before they're put away for a crime they didn't commit. A little bit of inspiration came from Bruce Wayne Murderer. This thread concept actually had Sunset and the Revolutionary in mind. But it can work with anyone. Thread has Started Gorilla Warfare Intelligent four armed alien apes from another planet have come to earth seeking assistance. Their planet has been conquered by invaders with their people forced to work as laborers. The alien apes. seek assistance in saving their world. Claiming the conquerors plan on targeting Earth next. But can the heroes actually help the aliens in need? Somehow what was originally a street gang war story between an ape gang and a saurian gang became this. To say I was going for something silver agey would be putting it lightly. But still, it should be fun. First Contact An uncontacted tribe living on an isolated island in the Indian Ocean has finally agreed to allow some members of the outside world enter their land. The island has long had a history of aggressively deterring any visitors from their island by attacking on sight. As such who better than the super powered to act as diplomats on this mysterious island? And what will happen to them after the leader of the tribe is mysteriously murdered with evidence pointing to the heroes as the suspects? Drama, intrigue, mystery, and a matriarchal society with a unique resource that has allowed them to fend off invaders for so long. I actually had some fun with this concept. Might not have sold the hook that well. But that's what this thread is for ask away if you have any questions/suggestions. Will only reveal so much so as to not give the entire plot away. Thread Has Started A Little Friendly Competition* Headmistress Payne runs the New Freedom Academy for Exemplary Individuals (Or insert a better name than that seriously I've gone through at least five names). Of course with New Freedom's propaganda machine, this militarized institution boasts itself as the best educational institution on the planet for teens with superpowers. The institution has recently extended a 'friendly' challenge for a week long interschool competition with Claremont to prove such dominance. Of course, they made sure to keep the home field advantage. Some students will of course want to wear a mask to cover their identity. But hey, I figured this would be fun. Of course having a villain from a Hero High Supplement and adding an element to the setting such as a militarized Supers school in New Freedom it should go without saying that I will need permission before pursuing this thread idea. Thread Has Started Heavy Decisions Someone has `stolen an experimental high tech gravity suit. Using this suit they are stealing from the rich and morally corrupt and giving back to the poor. The heroes are tasked with bringing them in. But the victims aren't about to wait for a cape to do the dirty work hiring out their own clean up crew to take the thief out. Law and order come into conflict with the greater good. The thief is helping those in need, but through criminal means. This Thread Has Started Creature Feature Movie night! A couple of heroes catch the local horror movie marathon at a small local theatre. They have the screen to themselves All goes well until the lights flash and the heroes are sucked into the screen. Trapped inside of a mashup of all those horror movies they now have to find their way out. If they can survive the night. Inspired partially by the whole night of Draculas or whatever the proper name is of the specific issue from Steph's batgirl run. Granted the only actual similarities to that story is heroes watching a movie. Man vs Nature: Here Comes the Boom A massive earthquake had recently occurred in a small island nation. In a joint effort with UNISON the heroes seek to help the citizens in the aftermath of the wreckage. Meanwhile looters and other morally questionable chaps seek to take advantage of the chaos. It's a natural disaster. Nature has left but the disaster continues. Tales from the FCPD: Dirty Money Detective Archer has noticed a discrepancy in the amount of cash filed into evidence and the actual amount found at crime scenes involving the same select group of detectives. Using a recording device she was able to set up a sting operation. Unfortunately before the good detective was able to turn in the file the evidence was erased and she was gunned down and the dirty cops filed fake evidence into IA turning her into their scapegoat. The detective is still alive, but she's on the run and needs help. This is clearly my worst worded hook. But essentially the heroes involved will be coming into conflict with the police. Almost entirely made up of good minded people just doing their job as is their tone. So solving the problem with punches would likely not be in their best interest if they even believe the detective. Thread Has Started
  17. I was thinking that Mechanized could use a trip in the great beyond, to be introduced to the fact there's much more beyond Earth. Someone is willing to put up a space based adventure for her?
  18. So, an introduction thread for Shiranui! When a 16-year old girl is kidnapped, it turns out that the girl in question had recently developed powers of what may well have been a mystical source... and there's some signs that magic may have been involved in the kidnapping itself. As such, the heroes are contacted by the authorities/get involved. This plot would work with street-level or mystical characters- I still need to do some plotting out, so I can actually work the PL around whoever shows interest. So, who's interested?
  19. Hey folks... Do you have a hero who operates in the Fens? or knew the King of Suits well? As you may know, the King of Suits in a night when the Fens errupted into violence, its residents, lead by the Kings, throwing King Cole out of the Fens. It was dubbed "The Night of Two Kings". The Fens will honor its own hero in a rememberance service. If you are interested, we can have a short memorial service and social thread to recall him, and pay respects, and just a little hanging out? You may even wish your Fens street hero to have been involved in the Night of Two Kings (in which case let me know and we can add a post from you into the Lucky Shot thread). Anybody interested?
  20. Because original titles are for witty people, who I am not among. First and foremost, Samaritan is very much approved, so I'd like to do a social thread intro'ing him to the school. Let's have some takers, eh? Second, I've mostly worked out (because names are hard) a nice plot for the Claremont brigade that'll introduce the Exiles to Freedom proper. Since going through proper channels would take tons of time (and I'm not that confident in a few of their builds anyway), they'd be plot devices this time around. The idea is that a random teen has woken up to some serious power. Doesn't quite know what to do about it. Radical Dreamer, being a seriously powerful precognitive, would have the Exiles either on the scene when things start to go bad, or recruiting Claremonters because things have can't be stopped from going or have already gone bad. And of course, there's a villain or three interested in this new powerful kid. Just to keep things nice and complicated. Third, I can do street level threads forever. You want one? Give me a shout. It won't be Chandler, but I'll keep things interesting. A pattern of robberies that doesn't fit anyone's established MO? Gotch covered. New dangerous drug on the streets? Done in my sleep. Rich kid's been kidnapped? Rescue time, gents. Corporation doing something shady that's just caught up with them? Makes four. I could go on, but you get the idea. I'm told a new GM is needed. I'm willing to help, even if my plotting skills are lacking.
  21. “It was an ordinary day in Freedom City at least until a strange light was seen in the sky. That light grew and grew until it became a fireball that streaked across the sky. A meteorite fell from the sky and struck Freedom City right in the heart of Liberty Park. A resounding crash echoed throughout the city streets, followed shortly by the blare of car alarms and sirens. But this was no mere rock from the edge of space. It was alive, and it had a purpose.†And because this is a thread that I'm running, it's purpose will involve the heroes punching things. I'm looking for 3-4 PC's all PL 10+, not including Maxima who I will be playing in the thread. We'll say this place on 8/30 at around 10am or so. Anyone who would be around Liberty Park around that time, or have cause to investigate a falling meteorite are welcome. The thread will be pretty straight forward. It'll kick off with some combat shortly after the heroes arrive on scene before having some more plot / complications / investigations, which is then followed by some more combat.
  22. Who: Street level heroes, PL doesn't matter. If your PC hits the streets and fights thugs, drug dealers, etc, this is good for you. Should be a big part of their identity, but not required to be all of it. What it is: An organization, called The Network, that unites street level heroes with the goal of opening up communication channels. Heroes that are part of The Network will receive encrypted contact info for themselves and others, enabling them to get access to assistance. This could be information, a safe house to crash in, or even assistance from other heroes (provided they can and are willing). What it is not: This is not a team. These heroes would barely even see each other face to face unless help was asked and granted. In fact, players (and GMs) could feel fee to use the Network as a justification for why characters are teamed up in a thread. What the thread is: The thread is for the first meeting. If you want your character involved in the Network and the thread gets overcrowded, don't worry. Your character can still join the Network even if he or she isn't at the original meeting. Where: To Be Decided, but probably in a basement bunker. When: Also To Be Decided. If your character is part of the Network (which is likely if you ask), then your PC will receive an untraceable card, like a business card, with information on how to get involved. If your character is in the meeting thread, he or she has already gone through the process. The Mission Statement: To clean up the streets of Freedom City by talking with other heroes and trading information. Post away!
  23. So, trollthumper's agreed to write a thread introducing Memorial (and, incidentally, THE COMMUNION), so here's a thread looking for 3 other characters who might have a reason to be in space to take part! Around PL10 is preferable.
  24. The heroes wake up aboard a starship with no memory of how they got there, the whole plot will involve them finding out how and why they got there in the first place. I'm thinking 3-4 character of around 10-12 not necessarily space based but they'd probably be a better fit.
  25. I have been meaning to run a thread featuring Necromme (Occult brain in a jar NPC) for some time. Sounding out you folks if any interest? Ideally looking at PL 10 ish. Maybe just one or two PCs. Slightly favouring investigative, spooky, and human types. Magic background strictly optional. If anyone actually fancies being a distant relative of Necromme (which is possible, he is old old old and it could go back 200 years), that would be very interesting (and HP worthy!)
